AH.
OH, YEAH.
HUH?
MMM.
SESAME SEED?
MY MOLECULAR RECONSTRUCTOR
IS A CUTTING EDGE SCIENTIFIC TOOL.
NOT A FAST FOOD MAKER.
LOOK I CAN ADJUST THE MAGNETIC FLUX CAPACITORS.
SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY STUFF.
ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY YOU CAN TRUST ME
BECAUSE I'M HONEST.
AND SEE, NO HANDS ON STUFF.
OF COURSE, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MY BEAK.
WHOA! THERE IT IS.
WHOA! TOTALLY SWEET, SWEET, SWEET.
OOH, A VIDEO GAME.
DID SOMEONE SAY VIDEO GAME?
HEY!
COOL.
WATCH OUT.
I CALL THIS MY BALLISTIC BUNNY BLAST.
HEY, WHEN IT COMES TO VIDEO GAMES,
THIS BUNNY'S GOT THE MOJO.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
WELL, FOR ONE THING, HIGH SCORE.
THAT'S NO GAME.
THAT'S MY NEW X3000 AUTOMATED WEAPON SYSTEM.
UH-OH. SO THAT WAS A REAL TARGET AND MISSILES?
I WOULDN'T WORRY BECAUSE THERE ARE BILLIONS
OF UNINHABITABLE PLANETS AND ASTEROIDS OUT THERE.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF HITTING SOMETHING
THAT HAD SOMEONE LIVING ON IT, HUH?
WHOO.
HOW DARE SOMEONE ATTACK MY SPACECRAFT WITHOUT REASON.
ATTACKING A SPACECRAFT WITHOUT REASON
IS WHAT I DO.
EJECTING ENEMY MISSILE.
TRACKING ENEMY MISSILE'S POINT OF ORIGIN.
AH, HERE'S WHERE THE MISSILES WERE LAUNCHED FROM.
ACMETROPOLIS.
PERHAPS I WILL CONGRATULATE THEM
ON A MOST IMPRESSIVE ATTACK.
OR BETTER YET,
I WILL BLOW UP ACMETROPOLIS.
* ROCK 'N' SET, LOONATICS, LET'S JET *
* REV, LEXI, AND TECH *
* SLAM, AND DUCK *
* ROCK 'N' SET, LET'S JET *

* TONS OF EGO, LOTS OF NERVE *
* NEVER QUESTION, NEVER SWERVE *
* LOONATICS UNLEASHED *
ALSO, FOR DESTROYING MY GALACTIC DEATH CRUISER,
MY COLLECTION OF HAND PAINTED SPACE DISHES,
MY MARTIANS PLAYING POKER PAINTING,
AND MY MARTIAN FROG AND MONKEY STATUE,
I DEMAND YOU SURRENDER AT ONCE.
OR YOUR PLANET WILL BE DESTROYED.
BY THE WAY, NICE MISSILE TARGETING.
THANKS. I MEAN, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
WE FELT WE WERE PLAYING A GAME,
BUT IT WASN'T A GAME, IT WAS REAL,
BUT OF COURSE, YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT,
OR YOU SORT OF KNEW THAT
AND IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT NOW. YOU KNOW.
I SAY MINI MEAN AND GREEN HERE IS ALL TALK.
BRAVE WORDS FROM SOMEONE WHO'S A FINGER SNACK
WHERE I COME FROM.
LIKE I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE.
I BET YOU COULDN'T HIT THE BROAD SIDE
OF THE MOON WITH THAT THING.
OH, REALLY?
AHA. EASY SHOT.
I BET YOU COULDN'T HIT SOMETHING SMALLER
LIKE THOSE STARS OVER THERE.
OK, ANOTHER EASY SHOT.
HOW ABOUT TRYING THE SUN, BUDDY.
BUT THIS TIME, WITH YOUR EYES SHUT.
LET'S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY HERE, DUCK.
LEAVE SOMETHING THAT TWINKLES UP THERE.
MAYBE I SHOULD DO THE TALKING.
I MEAN, I AM THE ONE WHO CAUSED THIS.
HI, MR. MELVIN THE MARTIAN SIR.
LOVE YOUR HELMET AND THOSE SHOES.
I ALWAYS HEARD MARTIANS HAD THE BEST FASHION SENSE.
BEST FASHION SENSE?
THE GUY'S WEARING A TUTU.
LISTEN, CORNBALL, IF YOU TAKE OVER ACMETROPOLIS,
IT'S JUST GONNA BE ONE MORE PLANET
FOR YOU TO KEEP TRACK OF.
TRUE. I DO HAVE SO MANY PLANETS.
IT'S HARD TO KEEP COUNT.
LISTEN, CHUM. YOU HAVE TO SHRINK ACMETROPOLIS
JUST TO MAKE ROOM.
GOOD IDEA.
I'LL SHRINK EVERYTHING ON IT
AND ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION.
YOU SEE HOW EASY I HANDLED THAT?
NOW HE'S ONLY GOING TO...
SHRINK OUR PLANET!
PLEASE, DON'T DO ANYTHING RASH
JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS PLAYING SOME SILLY GAME.
YOU MUST BE A VERY GOOD GAME PLAYER.
MMM. I'VE JUST LEARNED A NEW GAME.
CELESTIAL CHECKERS.
UNFORTUNATELY, SERGEANT SIRIUS
LACKS A CPU STRONG ENOUGH TO MASTER SUCH A GAME.
HE'S MORE OF A ROCK, PAPER SCISSORS KIND OF ROBOT.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
IT'S NOT MUCH FUN PLAYING GAMES
WHEN NO ONE AROUND HAS YOUR SKILLS.
BELIEVE ME, I CAN RELATE.
OH, GOODY. THEN IT'S SETTLED.
I WON'T DESTROY OR SHRINK YOUR PLANET.
I'LL JUST TAKE YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TAKE ME?
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN HERE SPACE CADET.
NO ONE'S TAKING LEXI.
OOH.
HEY, HEY, HEY. COME HERE FOR A SECOND.
LET'S NOT BE TOO HASTY.
I MEAN, WHAT'S SO BAD
ABOUT TRAVELING AND PLAYING CHECKERS, EH?
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY'VE BEEN
A BILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY?
YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO RECONSIDER.
AFTER THAT, ACMETROPOLIS
WILL BE VERY HARD TO FIND ON ANY MAP.
YOU MEAN LIKE WEARING A TUTU OUT IN PUBLIC.
I MEAN LIKE PRODUCING A TRILLION TIMES THE POWER
OF OUR ENTIRE PLANET.
WITH THAT MUCH JUICE, WE'RE TOAST.
HUH?
WELL, WE GOT NO CHOICE.
IF TINY WANTS A WAR,
WE'LL GIVE HIM A WAR.
OR WE COULD JUST GIVE HIM WHAT'S HER NAME.
LISTEN, GUYS. DUCK'S RIGHT.
I'M THE ONE TO BLAME.
I FEEL LIKE HELEN OF TROY.
WHO?
I DON'T GET IT.
HER BEAUTY BROUGHT ON THE TROJAN WAR.
PLEASE. THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOUR BEAUTY
BUT ABOUT YOUR BALLISTIC BUNNY BLAST.
BUT I DO AGREE, YOU DESERVE THE BLAME.
NO. I'M THE ONE WHO HACKED
INTO TECH'S COMPUTER IN THE FIRST PLACE
WHICH MAKES ME THE ONE TO BLAME.
RIGHT. YOU DESERVE THE BLAME.
BUT I CREATED THE WEAPON SYSTEM PROGRAM.
IF ANYONE'S TO BLAME, IT'S ME.
I AGREE.
I SAY THERE'S PLENTY OF BLAME HERE FOR ALL 3 OF YOU.
HEY, MAYBE WE COULD SHIP THEM ALL OUT.
LET THE INVASION BEGIN.
WELL, IT'S BEEN 24 HOURS
AND STILL NO SIGN OF THE MARTIAN.
I KNEW SHORT STACK WAS BLUFFING.
UH, DON'T THINK SO.
CITIZENS OF ACMETROPOLIS, DO NOT PANIC.
WE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THE INVADER.
COMMENCE FIRING!
COOL!
THE INVADERS ARE COMING UP THROUGH ACMETROPOLIS.
SHRINKING ALL BUILDINGS IN SIGHT.
NOW BEAT THEM.
I'M PUTTING UP THE DEFLECTOR SHIELDS.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY'LL LAST
WITHOUT MORE POWER.
MAYBE YOU COULD PLUG THEM INTO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OUTLETS.
YOU'RE BRILLIANT. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT.
SERGEANT SIRIUS, PRETTY SOON
I'LL HAVE ALL OF ACMETROPOLIS
IN THE PALM OF MY HAND.
LITERALLY.
SO, UH, YOU THINK THIS SOUPED UP GIZMO
WILL DO THE JOB?
WELL, THE MOLECULAR RECONSTRUCTOR IS MY DESIGN.
ONLY HITCH IS WE'RE GOING TO NEED A LOT MORE POWER
TO GET ALL OF THE SHRUNKEN BUILDINGS
BACK TO SIZE.
WE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO KEEP UP THE SHIELDS.
I KNOW YOU'RE FEELING BAD, LEXI.
BLAMING YOURSELF FOR THIS WHOLE MESS YOU CAUSED,
BUT YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T.
OH, THANKS.
WHY IS IT THAT THROUGHOUT HISTORY
SO MANY HAVE TO SUFFER FOR THE ACTS OF A FEW?
OF IN THIS CASE, JUST ONE.
THANKS, DUCK. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.
HEY. THAT'S WHAT ACTION HERO FRIENDS ARE FOR.
IT'S THE POWER GRID.
WE'RE LOSING SECTOR 3 SHIELDS.
ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS,
MELVIN'S FORCES WILL BREAK THROUGH BY MORNING.
WELL, NO ONE'S TURNING OUR HEADQUARTERS
INTO A DOLL HOUSE.
I'LL REROUTE AVAILABLE POWER.
I CAN'T SAY HOW LONG IT WILL HOLD UP.
HUH?
TECH. WAKE UP.
THE MARTIAN ARMY. WHERE ARE THEY?
THEY'RE RETREATING.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
NO CLUE.
DON'T ASK ME.
I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE UGLY.
I GUESS MARTIAN BOY FINALLY REALIZED
WHO HE WAS UP AGAINST.
THE GREATEST ACTION HERO IN THE GALAXY.
HUH.
HEY, UH, ANYONE SEEN LEXI?
THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN.
IT'S FROM LEXI.
A HOLOGRAM?
HI, GUYS.
SORRY TO SKIP OUT ON YOU WITHOUT A GOODBYE,
BUT I KNEW YOU'D TRY TO TALK ME OUT
OF WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
I DECIDED TO TAKE MELVIN UP ON HIS OFFER.
WHAT?
I MEAN, WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
YOU KNOW WOMEN.
WHEN THEY GET SOMETHING INTO THEIR HEADS,
THERE'S NO STOPPING THEM.
YOU CAN TRY, BUT THEY NEVER LISTEN.
OH, ALMOST FORGOT.
THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE, DUCK.
YOU WERE RIGHT, IT IS BETTER TO SACRIFICE ONE
THAN FOR ALL TO PERISH.
WHA--YEAH...OBVIOUSLY,
I WAS TAKEN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT.
OK, TECH, USE YOUR MOLECULAR RECONSTRUCTOR
TO SIZE THINGS UP
WHILE THE REST OF US GO AFTER LEXI.
UNFORTUNATELY, MY REMOTE SECURITY SCAN
INDICATES THAT THE MARTIAN SPACECRAFT
IS IMPENETRABLE.
HMM. SAY, REMEMBER WHAT LEXI SAID
ABOUT FEELING LIKE HELEN OF TROY?
MAYBE WE CAN MAKE HER REALLY FEEL THAT WAY.
THAT LED TO US DOING THE DOING
THAT WAS DONE BY MY DOING.
WE HAVE AN OFFER OF PEACE
WITH GENERAL MELVIN THE MARTIAN.
HUH?
I BELIEVE THAT BELONGS TO ME.
I CAN'T LOSE AT THIS GAME, LEXI.
OH, YEAH? I'M GONNA BEAT THAT TUTU OFF OF YOU.
OOH. I LOVE THIS GAME.
SILLY RABBIT.
BOW BEFORE THE CELESTIAL CHECKERS MASTER.
HEY, YOU CAN'T MOVE LIKE THAT.
YOU CAN WHEN IT'S YOUR BOARD.
UGH. I'VE GOT A FUNNY FEELING
THIS IS GOING TO GET OLD REAL FAST.
MELVIN.
HOW ABOUT A REMATCH?
OH, DOUBLE OR NOTHING?
WHERE TO START LOOKING.
THIS BUCKET OF BOLTS IS HUGE.
AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NOBODY AROUND.
NO WONDER MELVIN THE MARTIAN IS LONELY.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE ALL ALONE
AND NOT HAVE ANYONE TO TALK TO DAY AFTER DAY
AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY?
YEAH. PARADISE.
ALL RIGHT. HERE'S THE PLAN.
DUCK AND I WILL LOOK FOR LEX.
SLAM, YOU COVER US AND TRY NOT TO EAT ANYTHING.
NO EAT?
UH-HUH.
OK, OK.
REV, FIND THE SHIP'S COMPUTER
AND BEGIN THE UPLOAD.
I'M ALREADY THERE.
WE'LL NEVER FIND LEXI.
I SAY WE CUT OUR LOSSES AND GO HOME.
WE CAN DIVIDE UP OUR STUFF AND CALL IT A DAY.
DUCK.
WHAT?
YOU CAN HAVE FIRST PICK.
YOUR PRIMITIVE BUNNY BRAIN, LEXI,
IS NO MATCH FOR MY SUPERIOR MARTIAN MIND.
WHAT'S UP, TECH?
THE MARTIAN'S DOUBLE-CROSSED US.
THE WARSHIPS ARE BACK.
THE WEIRD THING IS THE PATTERN OF CITY BLOCKS
BEING MINIATURIZED KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A CHECKERBOARD.
CHECKERBOARD, HUH?
YOU MIGHT WANT TO COVER QUADRANT 8C.
HEY, IT WORKED.
NOW COVER 4G AND KING ME.
WHAT?
JUST DO IT.
RIGHT AGAIN.
HOW'D YOU KNOW?
LET'S JUST SAY SPACE SHRIMP
DOESN'T EXACTLY PLAY BY THE RULES.
ISN'T THERE SOME OTHER GAME YOU WANT TO PLAY?
NO. CELESTIAL CHECKERS IS EVEN MORE FUN
THAN TIC TAC TOE.
OH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY CHECKERS,
LEARN THE GAME.
SOMEONE BROUGHT ME A GIFT.
OH, GOODY.
I USUALLY DON'T RECEIVE MANY GIFTS THIS DEEP IN SPACE.
THERE'S A NOTE.
"PLEASE ACCEPT THIS GIFT WITH OUR APOLOGIES.
"YOUR FRIENDS AND NOT YOUR MORTAL ENEMIES,
THE LOONATICS."
HOW NICE.
YES, I BET IT'S ONE OF THOSE PUZZLE GAMES
THAT YOU TAKE APART AND CAN NEVER PUT BACK TOGETHER.
OOH, I LOVE PUZZLE GAMES. COME ALONG, SIRIUS.
SURPRISE.
I ORGANIZED A RESCUE MISSION TO SAVE YOU.
RIGHT. WAS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER
YOU PLANNED TO DIVIDE UP MY THINGS?
UH...
SUPER HEARING, REMEMBER?
HEY. YOU SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A WARRANT
TO USE THOSE THINGS.
LOOK, GUYS, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING,
BUT I CAN'T LEAVE.
I MADE A DEAL TO SAVE ACMETROPOLIS.
WELL, YOUR LITTLE PLAYMATE ALREADY BROKE THAT DEAL.
HE SOMEHOW RIGGED THE CHECKERBOARD
TO HIS WEAPON SYSTEM.
EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A MOVE,
A PART OF ACMETROPOLIS IS ZAPPED.
WHAT? YOU MEAN I'M DESTROYING STUFF BY ACCIDENT AGAIN?
OLD HABITS DIE HARD.
TIME TO JET.
TECH, I'M AT THE SHIPS COMPUTER.
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
LOCATE THE PRIMARY ENERGY PROCESSOR
AND PHOTON LASER IT BACK TO HQ.
IF I CAN RECHARGE THE RECONSTRUCTOR,
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE ACMETROPOLIS.
UH-HUH. THERE IT IS.
DOWN YOU GO.
ACE, WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS. LOOK.
THE BOOSTER ROCKET MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED
WHEN WE WERE BROUGHT ABOARD.
WE'LL NEVER GET LIFTOFF.
REV, YOU MEET US AT THE DOCK BAY, RIGHT...
AWAY.
ENERGY UPLOAD TO ACMETROPOLIS IS UNDERWAY
AND WILL BE COMPLETED IN 8 MINUTES OR MAYBE 9 MINUTES
DEPENDING ON THE SOLAR WINDS,
BUT MY GUESS WOULD BE 8 MINUTES,
BUT TO BE SAFE, I WOULD SAY 9 MINUTES.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ON THE WAY.
YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE THOSE LONG RAMBLING STORIES.
THE INTRUDERS.
SOUND THE ALARM, SERGEANT.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT'S NOT THE WELCOMING PARTY.
GUARDIANS, DEFEND!
OUCH! OUCH!
INTRUDERS MAKE ME SO ANGRY.
SO, UH...
WHAT'S UP, DOC?
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
A URANIUM PU-36 EXPLOSIVE SPACE MODULATOR.
NOW TAKE IT.
OH, NO. I WON'T.
OH, YES, YOU WILL.
OH, NO, I WON'T.
OH, YES, YOU WILL.
OH, YES, I WILL.
OH, NO, YOU WON'T.
OH, YES, I WILL!
OH, NO, YOU WON'T.
ALL RIGHT, DOC. YOU WIN. YOU ALWAYS WIN.
I GUESS I SHOWED HIM.
HE'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE HE EVER...
HMM. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
WELL, TWICE, I CAN DO IT THIS TIME ON PURPOSE.
WHAT? YOU'RE LEAVING THE FATE OF OUR PLANET
IN THE HANDS OF SOME JOYSTICK JUGGLER?
YOU GO, BUNNY.
KICK SOME MARTIAN BUTT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE CALLS THAT MOVE?
