Then the kids are ambushed by Praxis and Drekel and the Tronics. Dreylock is there and introduces himself to them. Cleo demanded him to tell them where he has sent every adult resident of their town. Dreylock reveals to them that they are on a planet, far, far away in the galaxy. Barrett realizes that the adult are very far away from Earth.

She struggles to break free. He tells her that she is coming with him. Mary screams at him to let her go. Noodle, upon seeing Dreylock holding Mary, runs to help her. But Dreylock fires his pistol at Noodle's head, killing him. Barrett, Cleo, and Mary watched in horror as Dreylock kills their friend without any mercy. Barrett drags Cleo out of the battlefield and they flee out of harm's way back to school, leaving Noodle's body behind and Mary being taken by Dreylock and his generals. Back at the school, Cleo is furious that Barrett let Dreylock kill Noodle and take Mary. He retaliated by saying that they had no choice, they were outmanned and outgunned, but Cleo isn't buying any of it. At the school hallway, the rest of the knights confront Barrett. Grover tells him that they know Barrett voted for Cunningham to be elected into office, paving the way to him, eliminating the Earth Defense Force Act and the invasion. Cleo is shocked by the revelation. She blurts out his actions involving Mary's abduction and Noodle's death. Grover, shocked by what Cleo said, asked on what did she meant. Cleo explained that Barrett fired his weapon at Dreylock and his generals, resulting a fight for survival. As they were trying to flee, Dreylock captures Mary. Noodle tries to rescue her, but Dreylock shot him in the head at point-blank range, killing him. She tried to rescue Mary, but Barrett forced her to retreat, leaving Mary to be taken by Dreylock. Barrett explained that he was trying to save Cleo, but she fired back by saying that he failed to rescue Mary. Filled with anger, Grover punches Barrett and attacks him. LaShawn pulls Grover back, leaving Barrett on the ground with a bloodly nose. Molly walks over to hug Cleo, relieved that she was safe. At the police station, now his own base, Dreylock tells Mary, who is locked up in a jail cell, that she'll get to see what will happen next from the sidelines. At the school''s nurse's office, Natalie is treating Cleo's minor injuries. Grover asked Cleo on what else happened during their confrontation with Dreylock. Cleo wasn't in the mood to talk about what happened, but Grover shouts at her to tell him as Dreylock now has Mary as a prisoner and fears he use her as a bait. Cleo explains that Dreylock to all of the adults to a distant part of the galaxy and grimly tells him that no matter what planet they're in, it will take them 20 years to return home to earth in a shuttlecraft. Natalie stated that this is bad. Grover agrees, saying that it is going to get a lot worse.
