Space Escape

At the Space Tree Station, cadets are about to graduate. The park crew is doing some tasks, with Skips, Anna and Eileen on maintenance, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost cooking, and Benson piloting the dome with Pops. "A few months ago, you folks were scrawny, weak, confused, drifting aimlessly in space-- utterly useless, until the Space Tree graciously took you in. Was it a mistake? Only time will tell. And now those worthless, scrawny cadets stand before me as moderately serviceable Space Tree Rangers! And today, you'll graduate the Spark Initiative and soon be on your way to terraform your first planet. I've already sent the coordinates into your dome's navigational computer, along with your personal fighter ships!" Rawls said. (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby do stunts in their fighter ships.

"Today... is graduation day! There will be a ceremony tonight with light refreshments, compliments of the Space Tree. Hope to see you there!" The cadets cheer, the park crew included. "WHOOOOOOA! Graduation!" Mordecai and Rigby said. "Wow, one minute I'm graduating high school, and now I'm graduating space? Take that, Dad!" Rigby said. "Hm-hm! I don't think "light refreshments" are gonna cut it." Mordecai said. "Comet Stop!" The trio said.

At Comet Stop, the trio decide on what snacks to buy for the ceremony. "Dudes, should we get Moon Cheddar and Onion or Milky Way Mesquite Barbecue?" Rigby asked. "What about Super Nova Nacho?" Mordecai said. "Eh, I'll just get 'em all." Rigby picks up all the Super Nova Nacho bags. "It's not a party until you have chips that taste like three different things!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. "Come on, man! Hurry up with the change!" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby peek over the aisle and see an armored soldier talking to the cashier.

"Sorry, bro. My boss makes me count back all the change." The cashier said. "Well, my boss will freak out if we're late for the attack on the Space Tree, so hurry up!" (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby gasp. Just then, a strange figure with a huge head like Pops', and a small chipmunk figure like (Y/n) approach the door and melt it down. They ominously float to the cash register while (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby watch on with wide eyes. A soldier gasps. "Sir! Ma'am!" He shouted. "What's taking so long?" The Pops like figure asked. "I-I got your Cherry Space Splushee just as you requested, but this guy is taking too long to give me my change!" The cashier shouted. "Keep the change." He chuckles evilly and waves his hand, making the panicked cashier flicker away into whiteness. With horrified faces, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby run out of the store. "Bad show. Jolly bad show! Ahahahahaha!" The figure takes a sip from the splushee and smacks his lips.

(Back at the Space Tree)

"And they looked just like Pops and (Y/n)! But evil!" Mordecai said. "Yeah, like an opposite of Pops and (Y/n)!" Rigby said. And the duo gasp. "Anti-Pops and (Y/n)!" They said. "Jinx." Mordecai said. "Rawls gasps. "She Who Will Erase Us..." He turns on a microphone. "Attention, Space Tree! This is your captain speaking! There's been a change of plans! You're all graduated, effective immediately! Congrats! Your first mission as Rangers starts now! Leave the Space Tree and get to your rendezvous points as soon as possible! Godspeed and good luck!" He shouted. "Sir! An unknown ship just docked with the Space Tree!"

"We're too late..." An alarm blares. Four figures breach the Space Tree: a robot with a blaster, an ape-like alien, a lizard-like creature, and a humanoid holding a laser rifle and an eyepiece. Armored soldiers similar to the one seen at Comet Stop capture all of the Space Tree personnel and cadets. Outside the Space Tree, a large, sinister spaceship is attached to the Space Tree with smaller ships surrounding it. Someone tries to break through a door, but Rawls runs up to it and tries to hold them back. Rawls growls in effort. "Protect Pops and (Y/n)! Make sure they get off the Space Tree!" At his words, the park crew is confused. "Why us?" Pops asked. "No time to explain, just go!" Rawls shouted. Skips moves a vent aside. "Everybody, come on!" Everyone climbs inside the air duct and runs off just before the door is blown open.
