Is this the end?

(Fireworks off in the distant)

Ervin: Oy, Mike. Come have a look see.

Mike: What's up Ervin?

Ervin gestures and moves his hands in a running motion. Trying to tell Mike to move faster.

Ervin: Get over here quick. Look. Do you see what I see?

Mike: Maybe....maybe not. Why? It's just fireworks. What do you see Ervin?

Ervin: Clearly you're not really looking. Look closer.

Mike sees some kind of unidentifiable flying object in the night sky.

Mike: Whoa....is that what I think it is?

Ervin: It's the end of the world as we know it man.

Mike: Whoa, now come down man. I mean, come on.....we might be seeing things. We've had plenty to drink after all.

Ervin: Nah, listen we have to go investigate.

Mike: (sniffs, coughs) Argh! Umph. Then that was how the grim reaper reached out to us. You're leading us to our own bad fate.

Ervin: Relax. It's cool. Don't forget to carry a flashlight with you.

Mike: Why should I? Woudn't wanna give our exact location to the enemy. Would we?

Ervin: (rolls his eyes) Let's go already. Gee, why do you always have to take the fun out of everything?

As they approach the alien spacecraft, they take careful steps not to set off any alarm. They look around to see if anyone's watching them. But the coast is clear.

Mike taps Ervin's shoulder.

Ervin: Whoa. Why did you do that? Do you want me to have a myocardial infarction?

Mike: I hear footsteps coming towards us.

Ervin: (gulps) Time to hide.

Mike opens a door and closes it behind him. Ervin rushes to a thick bush, and tries not to make any noise.

A short while later. Ervin comes out of hiding and he calls out for Mike. After several minutes, with no response, he goes to look for his amigo.

Meanwhile in the spaceship, the aliens are discussing their world invasions plan. They don't notice the presence of Mike behind their boardroom.

Ervin tracks his friend in the alien ship and he ends up in the lab. Then one of the aliens spot him. He screams and shouts for help. But it's too late. He's placed on a test table.

Mike listens in on the meeting and sees the alien leader. These beings look really pecualiar. Like a mix between humans, insects and zombies. Their leader looks even more strange, and has dark galactic shiny eyes that seem to be staring into his mind, spirit and soul.

The Queen of the aliens reaches into Mike's brain with her telepathic power. She collects all the information about human life, the usual activities, plans and agendas of earth's lifestyle.

No matter how hard he tries to get out of the trance, it doesn't work. Then he recalls of something calm. A song. The story of him harvesting maize. This throws the mind power off line, and Mike is free. He falls to the floor of the ship and in a moment, remembers that there was a faint call for help from someone not too long ago. It was Ervin.

He rushes and runs like it's a marathon. Dashes trying to follow the sounds of torture, and agonizing pain.

Ervin is tied, on the experiment table and being examined. The alien scientists gather data, and information on his brain activity. They run scare tests on him to find out what he's afraid of.

At last, Mike finds the alien laboratory. He couldn't miss it. There were so many sounds of machines, equipment and bright flashes of light coming from the lab. He knew he had to save whatever was left of Ervin.

One of the aliens walks out of the lab. This is his chance. Before the door closes, Mike rolls past it. He looks around the lab. Ervin is still alive, but in a tight spot.

The scientist alien continues running tests on Ervin. Then in a zap, it's hit on the head with an XS9735 microscope. The latest, advanced, piece in the entire galaxy.

Mike presses random buttons on the control panel. In a short while, Ervin is no longer trapped in the table straps. He is released and freed as fast as possible.

Ervin trembles. He looks around him. He's glad to see a familiar, heroic face.

Mike grabs his buddy and they make an unforgettable run for their lives. The  alarm is set off and guards are in red alert. They search all areas of the spacecraft for the two intruders.

The alien Queen, really outraged by the disturbance, tells her team it's time to leave. With a loud shake, and movement of the ground, they are on their way to another planet.

Ervin tried to fight emesis associated with fright and trauma. Or that was induced by it.

Mike looked at his friend. He was worried. What did the aliens do to him?

Back on the alien spaceship.

Queen Z: Did your test subject end up completing the quick experiment?

Alien Dr: Yes, we think the tests ran smoothly your highness.

Queen Z: We may have been foiled for only a bit then. That's not a problem. We will carry on with plan B instead. (Laughs)
