The next day, Mark was ready to go to school. Yesterday, he left mysteriously after defeating a few Caidoz soldiers as Planetman. The reason why was because of 2 reasons: 1, some people would feel scared of the Planetman Powers, and 2, Mark had homework to do, and showing off would be a waste of time for him.

Anyway, Mark arrived and sat himself next to some of his acquaintances. "Oh hi Mark," someone at the table said.

Since school was boring, not much happened there. But then, when Mark left, he saw someone walking by, who just got shot down by a black energy ball. Mark went to take a closer look, and someone was firing those energy balls at random people. Whoever it was, they looked like Planetman...only with a different design.

Immediately, Mark knew this other Planetman was evil, not because of the colour scheme, but because of the fact that he was using his power to attack random people

Immediately, Mark knew this other Planetman was evil, not because of the colour scheme, but because of the fact that he was using his power to attack random people. Mark had no idea why he was attacking random people, but he couldn't just stand there. He put on his own glove and transformed into Planetman.

Now because there was more than one Planetman, Mark realized he needed a new name. He decided to name the Planetmen after the planets in the solar system. Mark was Planetman Terra, and the evil Planetman was Planetman Pluto, a reference to the god of the underworld of the same name...and the dwarf planet of the same name, of course.

Meanwhile, on Caidoz's ship, Lord Caidoz asked Suvroc if allowing their first test subject (Planetman Pluto) to attack random people was a good idea, because Caidoz needed to control this Planetman. Suvroc told Caidoz to let him have his revenge, and once it was over, he would have nothing to do- and that's when Caidoz can control him.

Back on Earth, Planetmen Terra and Pluto were still fighting each other. Somehow, Planetman Pluto knew how to fight. His fighting style was that of a boxer's. Pluto dodged one of Planetman Terra's punches, and then responded with an uppercut. The uppercut was so strong, it was obvious that Planetman Pluto had experience in brawling before. Planetman Pluto then began counting from one to ten in his head, but as soon as he got to three, Planetman Terra got up. Planetman Terra then punched, but Pluto blocked it.

"Hmm...interesting." Pluto said. "Normally, my uppercut can knock the average guy out, but you got up in 3 seconds. I like a good challenge. How about you and I have a fight next time. And if you don't show up..."
Pluto then fired a dark energy ball at a random person, knocking them out.
"...what I just did will happen to everyone I see."
Planetman Pluto then covered the area surrounding him with thick smoke. When the smoke cleared up, he was gone. Planetman Terra untransformed, and went home. Unknown to both Planetmen, a guy with sunglasses and a suit was observing everything.

Mark was bored, and decided to watch some tv. On the news, there was a report about a mysterious superhero (himself) fighting off alien invaders (the Caidoz soldiers). There was also a report about a meteor crashing near another school, a school that Mark didn't go to, but someone he knew very well did. The meteor was glowing yellow.

But what neither Mark nor the news knew was that there were two other meteors about to land. One of them was glowing teal, while another was glowing red on one side and orange on the other. The red-orange meteor hit a tree and split into 2, with the orange side of the meteor rolling further away from the red meteor.
