CONT'D

Mr. Hart flips open a channel to the evacuating ships.

MR. HART
Fellow Valhavenites, we are under attack! It appears we are up against Zetas! They have unleashed three squadrons which means the mothership can't be far. Implement defense manuevers HART-DELTA-SIX. My ship is at point. Repeat, my ship is at point. I have Starry Pottar onboard.

The Valhavenite ships emerge from Earth's atmosphere and scramble in all directions to face the oncoming Zeta squadrons.

MR. POTTAR
Rocco?

ROCCO
Yes, sir?

MR. POTTAR
As I understand it, you are familiar with our defense technologies?

ROCCO
Yes, sir!

MR. POTTAR
Good. We need you to run the big gun. Strap yourself in at the terminal in the back, and press the big red button to initiate.

ROCCO
Yes, sir!

Rocco jumps up and heads to the back of the ship. Starry is quick to follow.

STARRY
Why do you... How do you... What the...?

ROCCO
OK listen, I haven't been entirely straight with you these last few years, OK? But I have sworn to secrecy by my father and yours.

STARRY
I can't believe you knew.

ROCCO
I stumbled upon it one day. I was fooling around in our kitchen pantry, looking for something to eat, and I must have switched something on. The wall swung open, and there was this whole new room. It was filled with monitors and equipment - stuff not from this world! There were aliens on the monitors, Starry, can you believe it? Aliens! After that, my parents had to tell me.

STARRY
And you never told me. Your best friend.

ROCCO
I'm gonna make it up to you.

STARRY
Oh Yeah? How?

ROCCO
Well for starters, watch this:

Rocco sits down at the back terminal and straps himself in. He punches a big red button and a large panel slides away, revealing a round window to the space battle outside. The window has a computer overlay as well, with a targeting system and other data. Finally a hatch below the window opens up and a controller appears. The controller is very-much like that of the Playstation 2.

ROCCO
Remember "Reptoid Battles?" That game we used to play on Playstation for hours on end?

Starry's eyes are lighting up in recognition.

STARRY
Yeah!

ROCCO
That was actually a training simulator for this: a Valhavenite X-Class Shuttle defense module.

STARRY
No wonder I could never find that game in the store! I looked for it everywhere!

ROCCO
No, it was only produced for Earth-bound Valhavenites to keep sharp on their skills. My parents let me have it in preparation. And I showed you, didn't I? See, I've exposed you to these secrets without you even knowing!

The big guns is ready now, and enemy ships begin to appear in the window. Rocco is locked and loaded and begins open-firing on the Zeta crafts. His targeting device follows a particular Zeta ship as it darts back and forth, until finally it connects. BOOM! The ship explodes.

STARRY
Holy crap that was awesome!

The boys give each other a high five.

Rocco continues shooting and Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar zip defensively through the dog fight. It's clear he isn't having much more success though, and Starry is growing frustrated.

STARRY
Let me try!

ROCCO
Dude, you can't...

STARRY
I used to kick your ass at that game, Rocco. I reached level 17. I was your squadron commander in the two-player version. Let me try!

ROCCO
Well, you were pretty good at that game. I don't remember you kicking my ass, but...

STARRY
Move over!

Starry kicks Rocco out of the chair and grabs the controls. It's not long before he's got a hit. BOOM! Then another. BOOM! And another. BOOM!
It's clear Starry has an unusual talent for this. BOOM!

Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar notice their enemy is thinning out.

MR. POTTAR
Good work, Rocco! Keep it up!

Rocco appears behind Mr. Hart and Mr. Pottar at the front of the ship. They are startled to see him.

ROCCO
It isn't me, guys. The last 6 kills were Starry. He's running the show now!
