Showdown!

Sean turned to Jeff. “Can you do this? I mean, can you defeat the evil Mezmo-Headed dude?”

The lights on Jeff’s plastic helmet blinked as he looked at Sean and the others. One after the other, each of his friends—Sean, Liz, Holly, Mike—gave him hopeful nods.

“I guess I can,” said Jeff. “I mean, I’ll try.”

Sean beamed. “All right! The kid is turned on and ready for action!” He looked at the others. “See? What did I tell you?”

Mike frowned. “I still don’t think we’re going to make it this time. Those aliens are going to force us to listen to accordions all the time.”

“Listen, guys,” said Jeff. “We’ve got to short out Klatoo’s head before he sends any more signals to the others.”

“Short out?” said Holly. “How? You saw how his helmet sucked in that huge explosion. He’s super smart and super powerful. I think maybe we’d better do like your mom. You know, Plan D?”

Jeff took a deep breath. “There’s got to be a way to short circuit that helmet. He’s probably just a normal everyday alien without it.”

“Right!” said Liz. “Normal.”

Suddenly Jeff’s helmet buzzed and blinked and whirred as he stared at the giant tower. “Stand back!” he shouted. “A plan is beginning to form in my brain!”

“Go, Cosmic Boy!” Sean cheered. “A plan!”

Jeff shut his eyes tight and pinched his temples. Blue sparks flew off his helmet. His face glowed. His fingers felt electric.

“Yes …” said Jeff. “Good … okay … really? Got it!”

He turned to his friends. “There’s only one way to stop Klatoo. Let’s put on a show!”

“A show?” said Mike.

Liz was staring at Jeff. Suddenly her face brightened. “In school. The stage in the auditorium. Jeff, you’ve got something up your sleeve!”

Jeff smiled a little. “On my head, really.” He adjusted the knobs on his helmet and straightened his antennas for the attack. “Yes, our school. Our turf.”

VRRR! The top of the saucer began to open.

“Everybody back to school,” said Jeff calmly. “Mike, you go to the kitchen.”

“Cool,” said Mike.

“And get me a cabbage… .” Jeff stopped and looked at Sean’s head. “Better make it two cabbages. Sean, I need a roll of duct tape. Holly, lights. Liz, music.”

Jeff’s friends just stared at him.

“I’ll explain it all when I get there,” he said. “Now go!”

They went.

And as they went, Jeff felt as if big music were pounding in the air all around him. Not accordion music, but action music. He looked at the giant alien tower with the saucer at its summit.

The top was completely open now. Jeff’s friends were rushing away up Main Street to school.

He was alone.

Battleground U.S.A., he thought, his plastic helmet still buzzing on his head. Grover’s Mill was the first line of defense against the alien invasion of Zalmo from Klamez. Doontoo from Mokla. Oozal from Zemom. Whatever.

“First battleground,” Jeff said to himself, turning his knobs to maximum. “Final showdown!”

Bong! The giant donut chimed the hour.

Sssss! The pancake pan hissed it, too.

Time was almost up.
