Attack on the Space Tree

The **Attack on the Space Tree** was a huge attack battle from *Regular Show*. It deals with Anti-Pops and his army attacking the Space Tree in order to find and destroy Pops. The battle takes place in the Season 8 episode, "Space Escape."

## History

### Background

It all started when the Park was launched into space by a huge dome project orchestrated secretly by the Park's owner, Mr. Maellard. When the Park reached the Space Tree, the Park Workers were told of its program by its leader, Colonel Rawls. Where parks from all around the world would be sent up into space and trained at the Space Tree to terraform a planet for the parks of the future which was called the Spark Initiative. Over the next few months, the Park Workers stayed at the Space Tree which became a home to them and they were able to learn new stuff to survive in space and make new friends like Chance Sureshot, Toothpick Sally, and Recap Robot. But unknown to everyone, an evil and powerful alien being who looked like Pops was tracking them to find Pops. When the Park Workers were graduating at the Space Tree as Space Tree Rangers the evil Pops planned an attack on the Space Tree.

### The Battle

While Mordecai and Rigby were out getting snacks at a space grocery store called Comet Stop to celebrate their graduation they overheard a soldier talking about the attack on the Space Tree while trying to buy a space slushie for the evil Pops. Mordecai and Rigby then witness the evil Pops as he arrives, melts the store door, and erases the store clerk out of existence with his powers. So Mordecai and Rigby rush back to the Space Tree to warn both Colonel Rawls and the other Park Workers about the attack and the evil Pops who they call Anti-Pops. As a result, Colonel Rawls who realizes who Anti-Pops is declares that everyone on board the Space Tree is graduating effective immediately and that they are all to report to their domes for a full evacuation of the Space Tree to their rendezvous points. But then Anti-Pops arrives with his army and alien minions who attack the Space Tree and start capturing everyone onboard it. They soon start to break into Colonel Rawls' office so Rawls orders the Park Workers to leave while they still can and to protect Pops from Anti-Pops which they do by escaping Rawls' office into the ventilation shaft just before Anti-Pops and some of his soldiers get in. After Anti-Pops and his army capture everyone including Colonel Rawls, he tries to get Rawls to tell him where Pops is but he refuses so Anti-Pops tortures him so Colonel Rawls tells Anti-Pops that Pops is on his way in two minutes which he claims is enough time for him to do a thousand pushups which he actually does to distract Anti-Pops so that the Park Workers can escape the Space Tree with Pops in time. When the Park Workers reach a ship to escape the Space Tree in the ventilation shaft, it's guarded by Anti-Pops' alien minions so they distract them by using a bag of nacho chips and then knock them all out with a ventilation grid. However, Pops refuses to go because he doesn't want to leave everyone else behind so Mordecai and Rigby come up with an idea. After Colonel Rawls finishes his pushups, Anti-Pops becomes impatience and threatens to destroy the Space Tree and everyone on it if someone doesn't bring Pops to him. Then the Park Workers' ship blasts off which one of Anti-Pops' soldiers notices and reports to Anti-Pops about it. So Anti-Pops orders his army to get to their ships and chase after the Park Workers' ship but when they get to the ship, Anti-Pops finds only a balloon instead much to his anger. Back at the Space Tree, Colonel Rawls is angry at the Park Workers for not following his orders but praises Pops for his nobility. Then Rawls orders everyone on the Space Tree to get their domes and warp speed away from the Space Tree as fast as they can while Chance, Sally, and Recap help the Park workers escape to their dome by fighting off Anti-Pops' Soldiers. The other park domes start taking off then when Anti-Pops notices it, he orders his army to destroy all of the domes but leave Pops for him. During the Park Workers' escape, Colonel Rawls sacrifices himself to help the Park Workers escape and they take off on the Park Dome. The Park Workers set the Park Dome for warp speed but it will take a minute to activate so Chance, Sally, and Recap back them up. The three of them fight off Anti-Pops' alien minions with their spaceship with Mordecai and Rigby helping them out with their new spaceships. They manage to defeat the alien minions but then the Park Dome gets caught by a tractor beam from Anti-Pops' ship where Anti-Pops prepares to destroy them with a big blaster. But then Chance, Sally, and Recap arrive just in time to save them all by trying to disable the tracker beam after telling Mordecai and Rigby to return to the Park Dome. But when their ship runs out of ammo, Chance sacrifices himself by launching himself into space and shooting the tractor beam blaster which makes it destroy a planet instead along with Chance. His sacrifice allows the Park Dome and all the Park Workers to escape into hyperspace safely away from Anti-Pops once it activates.

### Aftermath

As a result of the attack, the Space Tree is destroyed and Colonel Rawls is presumed dead along with Chance, Sally, and Recap. After escaping from Anti-Pops and the Space Tree, the Park Workers travel across space where they eventually learn about the connection between Pops and Anti-Pops thus leading up to the Battle of Lolliland where Chance, Sally, and Recap return.
