The bell rings at Harwood County High School.  Noah is in the tech room.  He is talking to Gia and Emma on the computer screen.  Emma:  "That's great Noah.  I can't believe the web site on linked so fast."  Noah:  "Believe it Emma.  It's our own social networking site.  The whole school will be logged on."  Jake walked in carrying a guitar case.  Jake:  "Who you talking to buddy?"  Noah didn't pay any attention to Jake, as he was still talking to Emma.  Noah:  "And tell Gia, I'm going to need her profile."  Emma:  "Right."  Jake:  "Gia!"  Emma:  "Gotta go! Bye!"  Jake hurried over to the computer screen.  Jake:  "Hey Gia!"  But it was too late.  Gia:  "Bye!"  The girls were gone.  Jake looked at Noah and then walked to the other side of the room.  Jake:  "Thanks a lot dude."  Jake started doing pushups.  Noah:  "It's not my fault.  Besides since when did you start playing guitar?"  Jake:  "I haven't."  Jake grinned, got up, and walked over to the guitar case.  Dramatically he revealed that the Snake Ax was inside.  Noah was shocked.  Noah:  "Are you out of your mind?!"  Jake picked up the Snake Ax and started spinning it in circles.  Noah quickly run to the door, closed it, and peeked out the small window to make sure the coast was clear.  He turned around and had to duck as Jake was spinning his Snake Ax around and almost struck Noah a couple of times.  Jake laughed.  Jake:  "You've got to fix this for me buddy."  Jake tried to balance the Snake Ax on the palm of his hand, but it was not steady.  Jake:  "A little off balance.  I just need some of your tech expert help.  You just need to make....a few....little tweaks."  The Snake Ax fell forward and Noah had to duck once more.  Jake:  "I know when I use this thing, I can impress Gia."  Jake placed the Snake Ax back into the case.  Noah:  "And help defend the Earth?"  Jake:  "Of course, that too."  Jake is confident Gia is going to notice him eventually.  How can she ignore a guy who works out every day?  Jake patted Noah on the back.  Noah gazed at the Snake Ax and then turned to talk to Jake, but Jake had already left the room.

Admiral Malkor asks, conquer the Earth without an army?  How?  Vrak replies, I have a monster that can spread a virus through the entire city with one sneeze.  Humans will be instantly transformed into mindless minions.  You'll rule the Earth within days.  Creepox is skeptical.  But Admiral Malkor wants to see if Vrak is as clever as he thinks he is.  Admiral Malkor tells Vrak, I want this planet.  Vrak gives a small bow with his head and replies, and you shall have it.

Noah finishes up his work on the school social site.  Noah glances over at the guitar case and decides to see what he can do to upgrade Jake's ax.  Noah locks the door and takes a quick peek out the window to make sure the coast is clear.  Noah takes the Snake Ax out, and can barely hold onto to it.  It is much heavier than he realized.  Noah wonders how Jake even uses it.  He's crazy strong.  I'll never be as strong as he is.  Noah starts to doubt himself.  Maybe I'm not cut out for this hero thing.  If I'm going to keep up with the rest, maybe I need to work out like Jake.
