The One With the Alien Gladiators

Zadie's POV:

It had been eight months already since my dad had died and life was finally getting back to normal. I was in the lab with Chase, Delta, Bree, and Adam.

"Guys, alien gladiators are coming to Mission Creek." Leo announced happily, walking into the lab.

Adam gasped. "I knew this day would come. Thankfully, I'm prepared for an alien invasion." Adam grabbed a hat made of tin foil and put one on Delta and himself-confusing Delta. "Chase, you hold them off while the rest of us who deserve to live escape." He took Delta by the arm and tried to lead her out of the lab.

"No, no. Not real aliens." Leo cleared. "My favorite sci-fi movie franchise...Alien Gladiators. They host annual fan conventions, and this year, it's in Mission Creek."

Chase stood up from the cyber desk and walked over to Leo. "I love Alien Gladiators! In the future, rival alien worlds the morfs and the zarkanians will battle over control of the galaxy."

"Oh, I remember that movie. It was terrible. The whole thing was blurry." Adam stated.

"You didn't wear your 3-D glasses." Delta reminded.

"Well I didn't wanna look stupid." Adam reasoned, adjusting his tin foil hat.

"I bet the entire cast will be there. I have everybody's autograph, except the new guy playing Prince Landor in the sequel-Andre Ethier." Ooh, he's a cutie.

"Whoa, whoa, wait." Bree stopped him. "As in baseball superstar Andre Ethier?"

"Since when do you care about baseball?" Chase asked her. Ooh, I've always loved baseball. Actually, I used to play softball believe it or not.

Bree scoffed. "I love baseball. You know, with the bases and...the ball. Okay, whatever. Andre Ethier's cute and if he's there, I'm there."

"The convention is going to be awesome. They're bringing back the fire staff challenge."

"Oh, really?" I asked, excitedly.

"What's a fire staff?" Adam asked.

"This." Leo picked up a glowing green stick and twirled it. "Is a fire staff."

"Looks like a stick with lights."

"It's a fire staff." Leo said, harshly. "Competitors battle each other wit their own fire staffs, and the winner gets a walk-on role in the next movie. And that winner is going to be me." Leo accidentally hit himself in the face with the staff, causing me to laugh.

"Yeah, sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." I smiled. "I am so gonna win."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Uh, no." Leo argued.

"Uh, yes. Have you seen me beat someone up like a pinata?" I crossed my arms and his eyes widened.

"You didn't have to bring back the memories."

"Greetings, good morfs." Davenport walked in with a robe on and a fire staff in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Leo asked.

"Getting ready for the Alien Gladiators convention. I am Elder Lumina and Elder Lumina will be victorious in the fire staff challenge."

"Look, Elder...ly Lumina, I have to get your robe in a bunch, but that role is mine."

"Oh, you wish. I'm gonna take you both down." I walked over and stood next to Leo.
