Chapter 26: Mars Attacks

Now that that's been taken care of... Donald! What's the status of the Martian situation that Allen guy warned us about?

The team is already on their way to Mars.

So who are we dealing with up here, Cecil?

When you rescued those astronauts a while back... well, turns out we messed up. Because one of them is still up there. And things haven't been looking so hot for him since.

Holy...

Yep. We're dealing with those sequid creatures Mark encountered. A hive mind. And they've got our man Rus Livingston under their control.

And you think they're planning some kind of invasion?

It's always an invasion. You've almost reached the planet. Godspeed.

Wait! Does everyone else see that?! Coming right at us!

It's Rus. We've got to get on that ship and stop him.

How is Rus still standing after that beating?

You cannot defeat us. And what is that Earth saying? "If you cannot beat them..."

"...Join them!!"

What the hell is going on up there?!

Cecil! The Sequids have taken half the team! I'm not sure we're gonna make it out of here!

Jeez, how many times do I have to come in and save your asses?

Allen! Thank God! Get in here and help us out!!

A new species... it will be delightful for us to take control of him as well! We are legion!

What's the update?!

We're free of Sequid control, Cecil. I apologize for our susceptibility.

Now we just have to take down Rus.

No no no no no no....

What is it?? What is it, dammit!?

The Sequids have taken control of Allen!

Then stop whining to me, and do something about it!

I'm free of them... Thank you. Man, that sucked.

The sucking isn't over yet.

Don't you see how futile your fight is? Soon, every being on earth will be under our control.

Not if we punch you into next week before you make it there.

We need to take Rus down, but we need to free him of those Sequids too!

Well, let's take him down first, and we'll worry about the sequids later.

There's no seperating us now! We are one!

We did it! I can't believe we did it!

We freed Rus from the Sequids!

He's barely holding on, though. We need to get him back to Earth, and fast.

Thank you again, Allen.

You're welcome... But I feel like I need to take a nap for a month.

A nap sounds real good right about...

"Nap" is not in any of your vocabularies. Get back here. Now.
