Every June, the kids at Hillview Grammar School would assemble for a big picnic. It was always held at an historic park called Mountain Badger Forest. Mack used to love these picnics but today was kinda boring. He had grown tired of the potato sack races and other games and so he wandered into the forest. He was able to stay on the trail as he followed the yellow dots on the trees. But soon Mack got lost after stopping to look at a frog. Every path he took lead him back to where he started. Mack started to panic as he found himself venturing deeper into the forest.

Scared, lost, and tired, Mack screamed for help. His cries echoed throughout the woods but were never answered. Rather than try to find his way back to the picnic, Mack decided to sit on a nearby rock and wait for somebody to find him. After a couple of minutes Mack's eyelids grew heavy as a sudden fatigue overwhelmed him. Seconds later he had fallen into a deep sleep. A fly buzzing around his face eventually woke Mack from his slumber. As he tried to get up his eyes and throat were burning. He clutched his head as he had developed a pounding headache. Mack staggered to his feet but found it difficult to walk.

He was no longer lost in the forest surrounded by trees and other foliage. Mack had woken up in a whole new world, one that was filled with potential danger. There was no sun as everything around him was gray and lifeless. A loud buzzing noise appeared to be getting closer and closer to Mack. It looked as though it was some type of drone. Mack decided to try to outrun the drone as it began firing laser beams. With the drone hot on his trail, Mack started to run faster. He briefly looked back at the drone before it was blasted out of the sky.

Mack encountered two men armed with laser guns. "Who are you?" he questioned. "We'll explain everything when we get back to our base" one of the men responded. "I'm not going anywhere until you....." ZAP! A small group of drones had returned and began firing lasers. The trio was able to escape on some rad jet-powered skateboards that magically appeared underfoot. The drones gave up their pursuit allowing for Mack to get a better look at the landscape of this new world. It was so dark, dreary, and hauntingly quiet. There were no sounds of chirping birds or passing cars. What happened to Earth?

Mack was brought to an abandoned mine shaft where the two men lead him down a metal ladder. "Can somebody please tell me what's going on?" Mack demanded. "My name is Jeffrey. That's Dionne, Montgomery, and Cluck Rogers, the brains of the operation. We call ourselves, 'The Orphan Gang' as we're the only ones that survived the attack of The Celestial Colussus." "Celestial Colussus? The last thing I remember, I was sleeping on a rock. When I woke up the world looked completely different. The next thing I know, I'm being chased by a drone and then I ran into you guys."

"You were chosen by ORSON to be The Savior of the Solar System." "What's an ORSON? I'm just a 10 year old kid." "I don't know many 10 year olds that have a full beard" Jeffrey replied. Mack brought his hands to face as he ran his fingers through his bushy beard. "What is this? I was only asleep for 20 minutes." "Try 20 years" Dionne chimed in. "What?" "20 years ago Earth was attacked by a gigantic being from another galaxy known as 'The Celestial Colussus.' He unleashed a group of drones known as 'The Emerald Armada' to destroy Earth and imprison its people.

The Colussus is an omnipotent being. He is neither man nor alien. He is a force so powerful that he has been known to have devoured entire planets. He has watched and studied Earth for many years waiting for the right time to strike. His drones unleashed a large toxic green cloud that engulfed the entire planet. Anyone who inhaled the noxious gas was instantly incapacitated and teleported to a desolate planet in The Milky Way. The Colussus has begun to drain all of Earth's natural resources. He is too mighty and his army of drones is too vast for us to continue to battle." All of a sudden Mack was overwhelmed by an incredible surge of energy that took control of his mind and body.

"Mork calling ORSON. Come in ORSON" Mack started to chant. "I AM HERE MACK MILLER FROM EARTH" a loud booming voice responded. "What am I doing here? Of all the potential heroes in the universe, why did you choose me?" "TO BE HONEST, YOU WEREN'T OUR FIRST CHOICE." "Oh?" "WE WERE HOPING TO RECRUIT TOM CRUISE BUT HE WAS TOO...." "Busy? Short?" "WEIRD." "Oh, I see. So how am I supposed to stop this Celestrial Colussus and his army of drones? I have no superpowers or weapons." "DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FAVORITE CHILDHOOD TOY?" "Yeah, it was a lifesaver?" "IT'S CALLED A LIGHT SABER AND I'VE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO YOUR OLD ONE."

"THIS IS YOUR WARBLADE. IT POSSESSES ENOUGH POWER TO DEFEAT AN ENTIRE ARMY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL HELP YOU TO DESTROY THE CELESTIAL COLOSSUS, SAVE YOUR PLANET, AND UNDO ALL OF THE DEVESTATION HE HAS UNLEASHED." "Sweet!" Mack cried out. "But, um, how do I do all that?" "YOU'LL KNOW" ORSON retorted before disappearing. Mack returned to his normal state of mind as the bizarre experience ended. "What did ORSON tell you?" Dionne questioned. "The Celestial Colussus will rue the day he decided to mess with planet Earth and Mack Miller!" he declared with supreme confidence. "Now, let's go save the solar system!"

"Bwok, Bwok, Bwok" Cluck cackled. "If I could interrupt for a moment here, I'd like to point out that I was the one hand-picked by ORSON to save the universe. I'm sure your plan was really good Clucky, but I'm the one with the Warblade and so I'll be calling the shots from here on out." "Bwok!" Cluck snarled as she was grew madder than a wet hen. "Alright everyone! Follow my lead and we'll destroy The Green Armada and bring The Celestial Colussus to his knees!" The band of rebels emerged from their underground fortress ready for battle.

Unfortunately Mack's plan was a bust as he and 'The Orphan Gang' were overwhelmed by The Green Armada. Mack and Cluck sought refuge behind a big rock. "Okay, what now?" "BWOK?" "I'm sorry. We should've gone with your battle plan. But you don't have to keep whining about it." "BWOK!" "You're leaving?" Cluck put on a jet pack and flew off into the distance. "Hmm, I guess chickens can fly after all." "FORGET HER MACK. I WILL GIVE YOU GUIDANCE." "ORSON? Is that you?" "YES. I AM ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING....WHOOPS!" "ORSON? What's wrong?" "Don't come back here!"

"You're ORSON? You look like a Furby. And your voice?You used that megaphone to make it sound big, loud, and important." "Sorry bro" ORSON apologized. Disillusioned after discovering ORSON's true identity, a distracted Mack was teleported into the sky by a drone as he would finally come face-to-face with The Celestial Colussus. Mack clutched his Warblade and readied himself for an epic clash with the intergalactic giant.
