Breaking news -- Las Vegas

The hive-like alien species
has leveled The Strip.

Their demands, if any,

proving to be unstoppable,

invading nations worldwide
with no end in sight.

act as one,

to retreat.

I can't sit back

an alien of our own

Since when can you

Kevin?
Ouch, cuz.

Don't you recognize a hero

Ben,
What have you done?!

It's all part of my plan --

Putting your past self

Ever heard of time paradoxes,

He'll be fine.

Uh, old Gwen, old me?

Xerge:
Your deception is pointless.

Give us what was promised, or we
ravage the rest of your world.

Ha, what you came
for isn't here, Xerge.

Never was.

We seek the last
of our kind.

The one that will grant us
ultimate power,

and yet, here are two.

Uh, I just got here, bub.

Wait,
what's it talking about?

That new alien of yours?
It's Xerge DNA.

Same as mine.Imprisoned.

Weakening us,

keeping us from being one.

That's why you're here?
What If I surrender?

Will you call off
the invasion?

That's your big plan?

I'm sorry.
Take it.

No!

No, you fool!

Let me go!

I'm trying to end this.

Let me tell ya somethin'.

Quitting's for losers,

I'm not that old.

Somebody knocks us down,

what we're made of.

Thanks for the pep talk,
junior.

Look, whatever you learned
on summer vacation

doesn't apply here.

We can't just punch our way
out of this.

The harder we fight,
the stronger the Xerge gets.

Not necessarily.

While you were gone,
I had M.A.X. run some scans.

[ Xerge grunts ]

Kids, I have
important information.

What's up?We found out the Xerge

are a collective
consciousness,

a single entity.

Taken separately,
the individual units

don't amount to much,
but together --

Their power increases
exponentially.

They can't fight alone.

They're like an infection.

So that's why my Surge alien
was a total dud.

You got it, kiddo.
Eep! later.

Xerge: Enough.

You thinkin'
what I'm thinkin'?

Yep. 'Cause I am you.

Yes, but it grows more

Thanks for saving the world.
See you in years.

Wait.
I have so many questions.

How'd Gwen get elected?

Is candy still bad for you

Will there ever be flying cars?

Got to enjoy it all
