"We've got enough air for sixteen minutes if we all remain calm," Robot calmly informed. "I don't think I can hold this together for sixteen–" Eve said, struggling. "We have to do something!" Monster Girl says.

"I can't breathe, I can't breathe!" Bulletproof panicky says. "Everyone just calm down!" Invincible shouted. "Help me push!" Zaru says. "There! That area over there! I know what's there, they will have life support!" Shapesmith told them. They all helped to move the bubble to the Martian ship.

Once the bubble made contact with the outside of the ship, Invincible yelled, "NOW!" He and Zaru punch and force their way through the ship itself. Everyone else followed suit. Immediately, they were confronted by the Martians.

"Kill the intruders!" a Martian yelled. Shapesmith shapeshifts back to his original Martian form. "It's okay, I'm Martian. I was just on Earth for a while. We are here to help. Eve was busy sealing back the hole in the ship with her powers.

"On Earth?! He is the Great Betrayer! Slay him!" the Martian yelled. "Silence!" Immortal knocks them all back. "Why did you attack us?! Is it true that you have been overrun by this slave race—these sequids?" Immortal questions.

"Enslaved by slaves, yes–because of him!" the Martian yelled, pointing at Shapesmith. "And we are here to stop them because of him! Will you help us?" Immortal asked.

Eve finished sealing the ship and nearly fell before Kakarot catches her. "Are you okay?" he asked her, worried. "Fighting the lack of pressure in space–I had to keep pulling on the globe to keep it intact so the air didn't leak out–and sealing that wall–I've never used my powers on that scale so much at one time. I just need a moment to catch my breath," Eve explained.

"We have to find a way to deal with these sequids and help the Martians," Zaru said, looking determined.

"Are you okay?" Robot asked Monster Girl. "I'm fine," she replied. Bulletproof noticed something on the wall. It was one of the sequids. "Hey guys..." He touched it. "I found one!" He shouted. One of the Martians yelled, "No! You have alerted them to your presence! They will know you are here immediately!"

At that moment, a wave of sequids swarmed the room. Eve created an armor suit for herself, covering her face. "Bulletproof has revealed their vulnerability. If these creatures can be so easily crushed, this will be no great task at all! Just crush every damn one of them!" Immortal shouted.

Meanwhile, in Andersontown, Wyoming, one of the United States' many nuclear missile silos was under the complete control of The Lizard League.

Little did the villains know, Shrinking Ray was currently in the room with them. Using her small size, she pressed a button that opened a door. Rexplode, Dupli Kate, Invulnerable, Raditz, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha ran through the door.

Rex used his powers to charge a metal pole and threw it at the villains. The pole exploded, and the villains were sent into the air, all except one. "There's plenty more where that came from. This is your only chance to surrender!" Rexplode said.

The one member of the Lizard League, Komodo Dragon, was unaffected by the explosion. "I respectfully decline!" Komodo shouted.

A fist was lunged across Komodo's face. It was Raditz who attacked. "Who said you had a choice on how this goes?" Raditz smugly said.

In space, aboard the giant Martian warship, a human who had sequids on and combined into his body showed himself. This was the former astronaut Rus Livingston. "Solids?! They have come to oppose us?! Fools! You will hasten your defeat by coming here!"

"I can't lift my arms! I can't do anything!" Eve shouted. Zaru helped Eve by lifting her off the ground and shooting concentrated ki blasts at the sequids that were left on Eve. "There are too many of them for everyone to kill. This is impossible!" Black Samson shouted.
