01x06 - The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus pt. 2

[bunniefuu]

Here's what

happened in part one

of the story of The Silver Surfer

And The Coming of Galactus.

Our horrible landlady, Miss Forbes,

was trying to evict us when

Reed, everybody, look!

The sky's on fire!

But things were not

what they seemed.

What the Hey hoo hoo!

What was that?

The fire was actually an illusión

created by Uatu, The Watcher.

A strange visitor from another worid.

I caused the flame and meteors

to appear in your sky

with my Matter Mobilizer.

- Incredible.

- I'm all choked up.

Hey, would you stop lecturing

and get us down? Huh?

My sole purpose was simply

to conceal the Earth From him.

Galactus, Devourer of Worids.

With his awesome power,

Galactus roams the cosmos

seeking planets which contain

an abundance of life.

Your only hope is that his herald

the one who searches the cosmos

for planets such as this

does not see your Earth.

The herald for Galactus

was an alien being

known as the Silver Surfer.

And even as we spoke,

he was soaring through our galaxy

where he quickly found our worid.

Ah, such life, such energy.

Galactus shall feast as never before.

We tried to stop him

from signaling Galactus

but we were too late.

- Yaaah!

- Ugghh!

Nobody likes a squealer!

And then we were

confronted by Galactus himself

Devourer of Worids.

And Planet Earth had just the kind of

life energy he hungered for most.

It is time for me to dine.

Once my Elemental Converter

is activated

I shall feast upon your planet

down to the last delicious morsel.

The Watcher may be able to help.

Uatu, can you

What?

Split city.

What a phony. All talk, no action.

Soon I shall lock my

Converter to the Cosmic Fulcrum

It's a long shot, but if I can analyze

the molecular structure

of Galactus's Elemental Converter

I may be able to shift it

into another dimensión and thereby

- What the?

- Oh my!

Watch it, Ben.

Out of the way, lady.

We gotta get in there.

Not on your nelly,

you great big orange buffoon.

You were served with this eviction

notice, but did not vacate the premises.

Therefore, I had Mr. Sully lock you out.

You can pick up your belongings

after Miss Forbes

gets through inspecting the unit.

And you can pick up your teeth

after I get through rotating your face.

Oh, I'm out of here!

After yous.

Bite him, Foo Foo, bite him!

Woof, woof, woof, woof.

I I fell. No, that isn't possible.

Now I remember.

The rock-skinned creature,

he struck me with my own board.

Strange.

None have ever used

its power against me before

but then those who dwell in this worid

are like no others I have seen.

Galactus. It seems unjust

that he destroys so many lives.

Lives with such intelligence

and courage.

Such sweet sounds.

Oh!

Yes? Who is it?

I felt someone watching me

and now you've come in uninvited.

But, for some reason, I'm not afraid.

Yes, I sense goodness

a selfless nobility

and a strange sadness.

I've not felt that combination before

except in my dear Ben.

- Do you have a name?

- Once

long ago.

Now they call me the Silver Surfer.

I am not of your worid. It is not right

that I communicate with you now.

I must go.

No, please, stay.

There's such a weariness in your voice.

A rest will be good for you.

You are concerned

for the comfort of a stranger?

We are all strangers until we meet.

- My name is Alicia.

- I neither eat nor drink.

Oh!

Another violent tremor!

If we're having an earthquake, I suppose

there's nothing to do but endure it.

I will stay a little while longer.

And so, it begins.

Cyclonic energy scavengers.

They're preparing the way for Galactus

to drain the life force from our planet.

It should be a physical impossibility.

And yet my analysis proves that

Galactus's Elemental Converter

creates a synchronicity between

earthly molecular compounds

and his metabolic process.

Could you give us

that again in Swahili?

You don't understand Swahili.

Well, I don't understand

nothing you just said neither.

Please explain, darling.

As simply as possible.

Yeah.

The Elemental Converter

makes earth molecules

the same as the molecules

in Galactus's digestive system.

The instant he starts to feed, all life

on this planet will be absorbed.

And he's about to begin.

Mmmm.

Mmmm.

The heady aroma of life.

Soon my great hunger shall gnaw

no longer.

He's sending

his spaceship away. Why do that?

Incredible.

To protect it from the surge

of energy that'll be generated

when he starts to devour the Earth.

And it will be

extremely difficult to stop him.

Wrong, Latex breath.

Come on, let's get physical.

As you said,

it's time to start kicking butt.

Now you're talking.

- No!

- Uatu!

- Follow me.

- He's returned.

You must not commence

the battle against Galactus

until I tell you to. Quickly.

Hey!

The rock-skinned creature. You know him?

You've seen Ben. I suppose

he does have an unusual appearance.

But inside, he's very beautiful.

You are a musician and an artist

and though your eyes are without sight

you see into souls.

Do many in this worid

have your great gifts?

I'm really not very special, Surfer.

But when I awake

and feel the sun on my face

and I'm able to do my work

and be with my friends

with those I love

I'm very glad to be alive.

But I'm sure it's the same

for every human being on Earth.

What is it? Is something wrong?

Are you all right?

For the first time,

I suddenly regret that which I must do.

I cannot bear the thought of the fate

such noble beings as you will suffer.

Yet I am sworn to serve

my intractable master.

His Elemental Converter

is nearing operational temperature.

In all the universe, there is

but one object which can stop him.

- What?

- Where?

- Use the doohickey now.

- What is it?

It can only be found in a place

infinitely distant from this worid.

In a region my people call,

the Eye of Infinity.

Only the boy of fire

has the ability to risk

the far journey to that deadly realm.

While we are gone, you must not allow

Galactus to begin feeding.

The survival of your worid

depends on it.

Go after the Converter.

The more damage we do to it,

the more time we buy for the Earth.

And for Johnny.

It's clobberin' time!

What is this?

Welcome to the fish fry, pal.

Only we're all out of fish,

so I'm cooking your tootsie.

You've damaged my Converter.

I can't hear you.

Talk into the microphone. Uhhh!

You dare interfere?

Ooof!

Meddlesome microbes!

You have disrupted my cosmic timetable

for the last time.

Come, noble Terrax!

Come, Fire Lord!

Remove these irritants

so I may dine in peace.

Say, Galactus wasn't bad enough

now we gotta worry about

Beavis and Butthead from Mars.

I am with you, boy.

And this is the celestial barrier

of the region of Unlife.

Do not touch the dark, swirling clouds

or you are lost.

Your destination lies ahead.

Earth and your friends

have but little time left to live.

Hurry! Hurry!

Strike, Terrax!

Wreak havoc, Fire Lord.

These insignificant creatures bore me.

Meet your end, my friend.

You're wrong, Ding Dong!

One for the money, two for the show

you're gonna get it,

you big dumb schmo.

Stay down, you cement head.

You cannot escape me!

Stand and meet your fate!

There, you have reached

your destination.

The home of Galactus.

The object you seek is deep within the

seventh chamber of the seventh level.

Touch nothing else,

not a wall, not a floor.

Nor approach the big antenna

or you will cease to exist.

Time is fleeting. Hurry!

Hurry!

Enough, Terrax.

Hold, Fire Lord.

You have done well.

You may return to my sphere.

Terrax serves.

As you order, Galactus.

I shall reduce you

to your molecular essence

and the wind will

carry you off like dust.

No, I beseech you, spare this

planet and seek sustenance elsewhere.

What? My herald dares

petition his master?

Chrome Dome is back and, this time,

it sounds like he's on our side.

I shall find you even more succulent

worids than this Earth to devour.

Planets on which no innocent lives

need be lost to satisfy your hunger.

Do this for me

who has served you

long and faithfully, I implore you.

I cannot!

The great hunger is upon me

and it must be assuaged.

Now stand aside.

No.

If I must choose between you and Earth

the Surfer stands with Earth!

Then the Surfer must fall

for Galactus may not be defied.

Ahhh!

Jeez, what the heck

is going on up there, Sal?

Lightning must've hit the roof

or something, Vito.

Rubbish! It wasn't lightning.

My horrible tenants did it.

I know it! I know it!

- You better watch it, lady.

- No, they better watch it.

I'll get them for this.

Mark my w Ahhh!

He's magnificent,

but Galactus is too powerful.

We Oh!

- Johnny, you're back!

- Are you all right, son?

How did? Hey, kid,

did you get the gizmo?

He has it, but I must instruct you

in its use if it is to be of value.

Quickly, Reed.

It operates on the same principle

as your Fantasticar

propulsión system

only far more complex.

Rarrghh!

Enough!

Hold it there, Galactus.

The Ultimate Nullifier!

Give it to me, you fool, before

you reduce the entire galaxy

to sub-atomic particles.

It's not the universe

that's in trouble, Galactus.

Give up having the Earth

for dinner or I'll pull the switch.

Well

this lowly planet is not worth

the time and effort I have expended.

I shall pursue

its life energy no longer.

Is he on the level or what?

The word of Galactus is his bond.

You may return

the Ultimate Nullifier to him now.

His threat to your planet is ended.

No, hey, you can't

trust him. Hang on to it.

Use it on him in case he comes back.

Enough!

And you, my once and former herald

I hereby exile you

to the planet you have saved.

No longer shall you soar the endless

skyways for the rest of your days.

I condemn you to this minor galaxy.

Ben, Silver Surfer,

has the danger passed?

Everything's jake now, kid.

How'd you know about Chrome Dome?

I told her.

It was Alicia who convinced me

your planet was worth saving.

Though I have lost

the freedom of the stars

I do not regret my choice.

And now I must see

what this galaxy has to offer.

We shall surely meet again.

Think he'll ever come back?

Oh, yes, Ben, I think so.

I don't know why, but there's something

about him that gives me hope.

Arrest them! They're the ones

who demolished this building. I

We just finished

saving the Earth.

I'm afraid everything else can wait.

Yeah, we're going to Disneyland.

Ah! Well, I never!
