"Ok.. Slad Stevenson?"

"Yep! That's me!"

"Your rent has been paid for... ever? Uhmm, I guess so. That's what it says. Yeah. For saving the whole world and the universe we thank you for your service."

"Aww that's so kind. Appreciate it."

"Well, enjoy your house! I hope nothing bad happens this time."

"Yeah, me too. Hopefully."

"..."

"Uhmmmmm ok bye."

"Bye."

  ...

Slad and Kai are watching TV. What is Zephyr doing?

"Hey!"

"What's up?"

"I figured out a way to use all the scraps from X' old deathtrap facility. We can use it to protect the KoL and the prophecy! Isn't that a good idea? Neurotoxin, metal walls, it's amazing, absolute dynamite."

"Wouldn't that be dangerous though?" Kai was concerned.

"No. I can just put some walls around it and a switch in the basement to enable/disable it."

"And then I could just install some lasers and it would be even better!"

"Great idea! It would be very secure."

"Same. I think it's a good idea!"

"Well then let's do it."

So Slad, Kai, and Zephyr got to work on the ultimate protected area. In short, UPA. There was of course, a lot of trial and error. The lasers not being wired properly, the toxins not working properly, to Slad almost getting his finger off by the laser. Kai almost died in the neurotoxin, and Zephyr almost destroyed the whole thing accidentally with the switch. But in the end it was worth it, it was all fixed, and it worked just fine. 

"Yay it's done! How does it look?"

"Good!"

"Astonishing."

"Now we don't have to worry."

"..."

"Still floating. Still stranded in space. Waiting to come home."

"..."

"Wait, I appear to be moving in a very specific direction, alarmingly fast actually."

"The moon!"

"..."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"OW!"

"..."

"I didn't know orbiting was that fast."

"Oh! Astronauts! Maybe I can finally go home."

"Hey!"

"..."

"Who are you? Some type of alien? How are you surviving without a helmet?"

"It's a long story."

"Hey, can I take one of your rockets or something and bring myself home? Just remember to jump really far into the Earths orbit."

"..."

"No. We don't trust you, as you're some type of alien. Where did you come from? A UFO?"

"No."

"Alright well, I have a deal. You help us find this crystal we've been looking for, return it to us and  we let you go?"

"Deal!"

"But wait, we could make history! You need to tell us all the information you got."

"I don't know, the humans and stuff always make a big deal out of everything. I don't think it would be good for us."

"Please! This is the first time we've actually been able to talk with an alien! We would be famous!"

"Maybe later, but not now."

"What happened to the moon anyways? You guys have seemed to colonize it, a building, or base?"

"Oh yeah, that. It's made by the ISS, we basically made another ISS but like 10x as big. It's powered by something, or atleast that's what they told us, but they haven't actually told us what it IS powered by."

"They are always finding SOMETHING for us to do, but finding this crystal is taking an awfully long time. They say they're always bothered by us, but I don't know what we did."

"Interesting. Well then I guess I can go find the crystal. Bye!"

"Wait! You'll need this."

"Dynamite?"

"Yes, dynamite. The ISS says that crystals can be found in the actual moon rock, so try and explode anything that seems like there might be crystals."

"I don't think I'm missing anything important about the dynamite, just be careful and don't explode yourself."

"Ok! A deals a deal, I'll try to find that crystal for you."
