We fade in on a flying saucer-style spaceship, flying over what looks like Washington D.C. As it reaches the White House, it stops and hovers over it. Suddenly, the spaceship shoots down a ray of laser, which causes the entire presidential residence to violently explode.
The words ‘GAME OVER’ appears on the screen, followed by ‘Insert coin to continue’.
“Hahahahahaha! Yes! My training is finally complete!”
We fade out from the screen to see Zargnax sitting in front of the screen, at an arcade machine named ‘STARMAGEDDON: Ultimate Invasion of Earth’, in an arcade hall.
“I hate to inform you again, Captain, but that is not an Earth invasion training simulator. It is a so-called arcade game. You win by shooting down the spaceship before it reaches the White House.”
The voice comes from an iPad attached to a Segway-type set-up. The iPad’s screen is black and has a digital smiley face on it.
“Shut your artificial mouth, Computer! I don’t need your ‘logic’! You stupid machine!”
Zargnax moves away from the arcade machine, allowing the child next in line to play on it.
“Computer! What is next on the agenda?”
“The match-ups for Pollomania’s next event have been released. Your opponent is a human named ‘Al Nova.’”
“Hmm... Seems like this planet is positively crawling with scum.”
“Do you want me to pull up his profile, Captain?”
“No, that will not be necessary. All I need to know is that he is human, for me to know that my victory is certain! Hahahahaaha!”
“Are you sure, Captain? You have never actually battled a human before.”
“What are you talking about!? I’ve beaten countless humans in the last hour! Sure, it was in one of these training simulators, but it still counts! I even beat a human with four arms and two heads! As I understand it, those are much stronger than regular humans. And can shoot fireballs!”
“Again, Captain, those are no-…”
“Oh, oh, oh! I have a question for you, Computer! Who of us two are actually living breathing organisms with brains?”
“You are, Captain.”
“That’s right, you stupid robot! You are just a machine! Your programming can’t comprehend these things!”
Suddenly, a girl in her late teens runs up to Zargnax.
“Oh no! An alien!”
Zargnax shares a look with Computer, before turning back to the girl.
“That’s right, puny life-form! I am Zargnax, the intergalactic conqueror, and this – is your doom!”
Zargnax pulls out his ray gun and points it at the girl, who drops to the floor with a scream. He turns to Computer.
“See? I didn’t even pull the trigger! Conquering this planet will be easier than terraforming a dwarf planet in the Zervulon system! Hahahaha!”
With that, Zargnax and Computer walk away from the scene. The girl gets up from the floor and pulls out her cell phone.
“Hey, Mindy! There’s this guy at the arcade cosplaying an alien from some new game or something! Come on down, it’s pretty awesome!”
