Sector 51

S2 Episode 4: Weed-whacked

Our episode opens up with a flashback to the episode "Garden of Evil" when Poochie hocked up the seed of the Nevosian deathtrap which ends up taking humanoid shape and walking off. we then cut to present day where we see said plant-like humanoid walking through the sewers beneath Lincoln County where a sewer worker bumps into the creature, exclaiming "what the heck is that, some kind of plant... stick... weed thing?" the creature then says "Stickweed, I like that name. I require sustinence, your flesh will suffice for now" as we hear the man's screams echo throughout the sewer only to be cut off by a loud "CHOMP!" noise. we then cut to Tyrone playing basketball with other kids at the park only for Lena to show up and tell her "hey little bro" Tyrone then tells his friends "guys, you gotta meet my big sister Lena" one kid then says "you never told us you had a sister" followed by another kid saying "yeah what gives Tyrone?" Tyrone then says "you won't believe this but she's actually part alien, and she has superpowers! she can move things with her mind, watch!" Tyrone then tosses his basketball at Lena but Lena doesn't catch it with her mind and just lands at her feet. one kid then exclaims "Liar! everyone knows space aliens aren't real!" followed by the whole crowd of kids laughing at poor Tyrone making him feel humiliated as he watches the other kids leave. Tyrone looks at Lena and asks her "what gives big sis? I tried to look cool to the other kids and you made me look like a fool!" Lena then tells him "my powers aren't for party tricks, plus Sector 51's whole MO is trying to keep the existence of aliens a secret from the public" as she looks at the bracelet Kamyla made for her. however the whole basketball court is suddenly engulfed in vines scaring all the children as they run screaming including Tyrone, Lena shouting "Tyrone!" as all the children are wrapped in vines that keep erupting from the ground. Lena then hears an evil laughter only for Stickweed to emerge from the tangle of vines, exclaiming "Lena Sullivan, we meet again" Lena then looks at the creature's petals on his head and says "Wait, you're Alex's plant!" Stickweed then says "correction, I was born from the seed of the Nevosian deathtrap. you may call me Stickweed" Lena then asks him "What do you want with those children you overgrown wallflower?" Stickweed responds with "To eat them, of course!" Lena then activates her twin sword constructs, exclaiming "not gonna happen, plant man!" slicing through all the attacking vine tendrils before running up to Stickweed and slicing his head off. however Stickweed re-attaches his head to his body, saying "sorry, that trick won't work on a Nevosian" before extending his thorny arm-whips to whip Lena leaving lots of bloody scratches on her body. the injured Lena collapses on the ground allowing Stickweed to escape with the captured children Tyrone included. we then see Maria and Darnell arrive on the scene to pick up Tyrone only to see the battered and bruised Lena lying on the ground. Maria rushes to Lena's aid and asks her "baby who did this? where's Tyrone?" Lena tells her mom "An alien plant took him, and all his friends. I got to warn Agent Delta!" Maria exclaiming "my baby!" as Lena struggles to get up, only for Agent Delta to arrive on the scene to help Lena into the Sector 51 van, Agent Delta asking what happened. Lena then says "Alex's plant did this" much to the shock of Delta. we then cut to the sewers beneath Lincoln county, Nevada which has become overgrown with vines where we see the kids being hung from the ceiling in pods, Stickweed saying "I prefer to marinate my food before eating" as he drags Tyrone into his lair with Tyrone saying "you better not eat my friends you mutated weed, my sister will come rescue me!" only for Stickweed to shut him up by stuffing him in one of the pods muffling his scream, saying "I thought he'd never shut up" before walking off before we cut to Alex's house where we see Stickweed enter the Quinn household strangling his parents in vines before walking into Alex's room, Alex asking "who are you?" Stickweed then says "remember me?" before entangling him in vines. we then cut to Sector 51 HQ where we see the LGMs patching up Lena's wounds while Poochie hops in Lena's lap and gives her alien dog kisses, Delta exclaiming "so this Stickweed guy... he abducted Tyrone?" Lena hugging her space dog then says "yeah, and he took a bunch of other kids as well. we need to rescue them!" Delta then says "In your condition?" Lena tells him "that thing did scratch me up pretty bad with those thorny tendrils of his, but I can't stand by when there are children in danger" Delta then says "sorry kid but you'll have to sit this one out, besides Poochie prefers your company" all the while Commander Epsilon overhears their conversation and tells the troops "alright men, we've got an alien to bust and some kids to save. now let's move out!" only for Delta to tell Epsilon "Don't forget me, I'm coming too" before we cut to Commander Epsilon and his troops along with Agent Delta patrolling the sewers beneath Lincoln county, Nevada with guns at the ready only for them to come across the kids (along with Alex's parents) stuck in plant pods hanging from the ceiling, Epsilon saying "jeez, the ginger kid's plant did this?" Delta responding with "that's what Lena told me, apparently it wasn't completely destroyed when Poochie swallowed it" only for them all to hear a sinister laugh followed by Stickweed emerging from the tangle of vines saying "I did do it, and you're next!" as he extends his thorny vine-whips that he lashes at Commander Epsilon who blocks his attack with his tonfas before firing a barrage of blasts with his tonfa-guns putting a bunch of holes in Stickweed that automatically heal followed by Stickweed stuffing Epsilon in one of the pods. the Sector 51 troops pull out their guns and open fire on Stickweed only for him to grab each of them one by one with his vines to stuff each of them in pods, saying "this'll be enough terran meat to last me for a full year!" only for Agent Delta to roundhouse kick Stickweed in the face which angers the Nevosian who whips Delta with his thorny vines scratching him in the sides however Delta pulls out his twin laser pistols to shoot Stickweed's arms off, saying "and stay down" however Stickweed's arms re-attach allowing him to grab Delta and put him in a chokehold. we then cut to Lena teleporting into the sewers of Lincoln County with poochie in her arms only for her to see the injured Delta being choked out by Snakeweed, Lena exclaiming "Delta!" Delta then asks Lena "what are you doing here?" Lena then says "to help you, I even brought Poochie so that he can suck him in just like last time! get him Poochie!" prompting Poochie to open his black hole mouth causing Stickweed to drop Delta as he is being sucked into the gravitational pull of Poochie's mouth. Stickweed then whips poor Poochie with his vine-whips injuring the poor alien doggo making Lena angry as she activates her twin swords and lunges at Stickweed slicing through his vines before slicing off each of Stickweed's body parts one-by-one until he's on the ground and in pieces. Lena then carries the injured Poochie in her arms as she rushes to Delta's aid, Lena asking Delta if he's okay. Delta then tells Lena that all of Stickweed's victims are trapped in those pods pointing up to the ceiling, Lena exclaiming "Glark, my swords can't reach that high!" only for Stickweed's body parts to stick back together and get back up, extending his arms to choke both Lena and Delta in his vine tendrils and choke them. Stickweed then says "Now you've made me mad. I don't even want to eat you anymore, so I'm just gonna force you to watch as I devour all your friends one by one just to make you suffer" Lena's eyes then start glowing as she raises her hands in the air, Delta turning his head shocked to see a pair of energy shurikens materialize in Lena's hands that she throws into the air slicing the pods open freeing Tyrone, Alex, Epsilon, and everyone else, Stickweed exclaiming "my food! no!" only for the energy shurikens to fly back at Stickweed dicing him into pieces freeing both Lena and Agent Delta. Epsilon then captures all of Stickweed's pieces as Poochie runs up to lick the fluid off of Tyrone making him laugh, Tyrone exclaiming "Poochie stop!" as Delta looks at Lena's energy shurikens in her hands, Delta saying "well those are new" Lena looks at them and says "I must've unlocked them when I realized my friends were in danger and they needed saving" Tyrone then looks at Lena's energy shurikens and says "way cool sis!" followed by Lena spotting Alex amongst the crowd of rescued civilians and rushes up to hug him, Lena exclaiming "Alex! thank goodness you're alright!" meanwhile Stickweed slowly puts himself back together only for the Nevosian to get handcuffed by Commander Epsilon who tells him "Come on you man-eating flower, you're going away with all the other sickos" Delta tells Alex and Tyrone to cover their eyes as he memory-wipes Alex's parents and Tyrone's friends. we then cut to the next day where we see Tyrone playing basketball with his friends in the park like at the beginning only for the ball to be caught by Lena who slam-dunks the ball, the kids in awe while Tyrone and Lena do a fist-bump, one kid from before exclaiming "wow Tyrone your big sister is so cool!" with Tyrone saying "of course she is" followed by Lena giving Tyrone a noogie followed by Darnell and Maria arriving on the scene to hug Tyrone before leaving for the car with their son Lena happy to have the whole family back together again. we then cut to Sector 51 HQ where we see Stickweed locked in his jail cell where he is visited by Alex who asks Commander Epsilon"so that thing came out of the Nevosian deathtrap that Lena got for me?" Epsilon replies with a "yup" Alex shakes his head saying "I'll never understand alien reproduction" we then cut to Lena practicing throwing her energy shurikens in the training room slicing through several practice dummies only for the shurikens to fly back at her head forcing her to duck for cover, Lena exclaiming "I seriously need to work on my aim!" Agent Delta chuckles, telling her "Keep practicing and you're gonna go far kid" ending our episode on a good note.
