"How dare you hurt my friend!" exclaimed Claire as she took out a Raygun (another one of those gadgets invented by the headquarters) and pointed it at the alien. "You'll be sorry for this!"
Before she even finished her sentence, Claire started firing the laser rays at the alien. Nevertheless, in the blink of an eye, the alien had already changed into her alien outfit, which has successfully protected her from all the harm.
"How insignificant and weak you human beings are!" said the alien with a smirk. "I told ya you're all weaklings and there's no way you can defeat us!" At the conclusion of her speech, the alien grabbed hold of Claire's arm which was holding the Raygun and flung her to the other side of the room.
"Ouch!" Claire screamed as she landed on the ground face-first and the Raygun in her hand broke into two halves.
"I didn't want to kill you at first, you foolish human," laughed the alien sinisterly as she gradually advanced towards Claire. "But, if you are so disobedient, you will just become a worthless slave. So, there is no use in keeping you alive anymore!"
Eliza and Tom looked on in horror as the alien advanced slowly towards Claire, who was struggling in vain to stand up after the hard blow she had received.
"Tom! Do something!" yelled Eliza. "We can't let her kill Claire!"
"I'm afraid our powers are no match for that of the Galileans," replied Tom, shaking his head in all earnestness. "Even with all the gadgets invented by the headquarters, we are still too weak for them."
Suddenly, Eliza noticed a long tube hanging behind the alien's back, which was attached to its helmet.
"That must be her weakness!" thought Eliza. "Although this always works in movies, I doubt that it would work in real life. But there's no other way! I'll have to bet on this."
Thus, Eliza dashed towards the alien, grabbed hold of the hanging tube and pulled it off with all her might. Abruptly, the alien ceased in her track and slowly turned around.
"Uh oh! Looks like that didn't work!" thought Eliza as she mentally prepared herself for a hard blow from the alien. Nonetheless, after closing her eyes for a few seconds and not feeling a blow, Eliza gradually opened her eyes only to discover that the alien had fallen down next to her feet.
"Oh my goodness, Eliza, you did it! You've found their weakness!" exclaimed Tom in excitement. "The tube that connects to their helmet must be used to convert oxygen to negortin - the gas they inhale in order to breath. On Earth, such a gas does not exist; hence, they need a converting machine to survive! You're a genius Eliza!"
"Um, I mean, I have no idea what on Earth you're on about, but yeah! I did it! Hooray!" said the bewildered Eliza, still holding the piece of tube in her hands. "Wait, I think I get it now! Does that mean I've just suffocated her? Oh gosh, I kinda feel bad now!"
"Well, you can feel bad as much you want later on!" said Tom as he started dashing towards the staircase. "But, right now, what's most important of all is that we need to stop them stealing the energy of our sun before it's all too late. Quick, follow me!"
"But, where are we heading?" questioned Claire, still hasn't quite gotten over her shock.
"There is a door in this building that can lead us straight to the machine that is absorbing the sun's energy," elucidated Tom as he dashed up the stairs agilely in his bedroom slippers two steps at a time. "All you need to do is destroy that machine, then everything will be brought to a halt."
"Destroying things? OMG, how did you know that's my forte?" said Eliza jokingly.
