Dantin: So you guys are the best?

Christo: Well, yeah, I guess so.

MiV: We're the best of the best. We're the best at what we do!

Dantin: And what exactly is that?

MiV: Uh... just tell us why we're here.

Dantin: Do you both wish to be True Ductorian Warriors, and take on the responsibility of that position?

Christo: Yes, sir.

MiV: Yeah, what he said.

Dantin: And accept that death may be the result?

Christo: Yes, sir.

MiV: Yeah, for the bad guys.

Dantin: I'm liking Christo much more now. Remember, MiV, no one is invincible.

MiV: Ha!

Dantin: Training starts tomorrow at five.

Christo: Oh, I can make it.

MiV: Sure, that's fine.

Dantin: --in the morning.

Christo: Aw!

MiV: In the morning?

Christo is shown asleep on a bed. MiV comes bounding in.

MiV: Time to get up! Rise and Shine! Training starts now! Let's Go!

Christo: Oh, I'm gonna go back to bed...

MiV: Okay, well I'll just tell Dantin that you're not up to the challenge.

Christo sits up.

Christo: What?

MiV: I said you're not...

Christo gets up and they go outside.

Cut to outside training grounds. Dantin and MiV finish practicing, and turn off their duct sabers.

Dantin: Okay, Christo's turn.

MiV: Okay.

Christo: Hey guys, what's up?

MiV: Good luck.

Christo: Luck?

MiV: Yeah, luck.

Christo: (to Dantin) So what are we gonna do, training?

Dantin: Yeah. First I'll let you try the single blade.

They turn on the duct sabers.

Christo: Wow!

Christo and Dantin spar for a while.

MiV: Hey! You wanna try my double-ended duct saber?

Christo: Yeah, gimme a try. Alright...

Christo and Dantin spar for a while longer. Christo makes a bad move, and then stands up clumsily. Dantin points his duct saber at him.

Dantin: You're dead.

At the Ductorian council.

Juan zi Nobie: They're both showing signs of true skill.

Dantin: Yes, especially MiV. Christo's coming along. I'm sure if MiV weren't so amazing, Christo would look a lot better. But I feel both of them are ready for minor battle.

Juan zi Nobie: Send them out on the next flight to Shinubi forest on the Masked Empire's planet.

Dantin: Minor!? That's a big war you have going on there.

Juan zi Nobie: They are the best warriors we have so we must use them for the most influential battles.

Dantin: As you wish, but I hope we're not making a big mistake.

Juan zi Nobie: Get them ready.

On the ship to Shinubi, getting ready.

Christo: I'm so scared of what might happen. We might die, or lose a leg...

MiV: ...or they might forget!

Christo: Forget what?

MiV: Nevermind. Let's go.

Their ship is shown leaving the mothership and heading for the masked planet. It crash lands on the island of Traken Ico as scenes of various forms of alien life and danbots are shown. The ship stops just before hitting an alien moose, which seems oblivious to the ship.

Christo is shown returning to the ship after the battle is over. He uses the special ball to communicate with Dantin.

Christo: Dantin, I'm coming home.

Dantin is speaking to the Ductorian people from a high balcony.

Dantin: I've come to you to talk about the battle in the Shinubi forest. Six men were sent out: Christo, MiV, and four others. The four were killed easily, but Christo and MiV stayed on. And here is Christo to explain what happened to MiV.

Christo: Hi! Um, I'm Christo. Um, well basically, I went to the Shinubi forest with MiV. It was the two of us, and, um, a couple others, and, well basically what happened... is this.

Cut to video of the battle with voiceover narration by Christo.

Christo and MiV run onscreen and light their duct sabers.

Christo (narrating): When we first encountered the dandroids, we expected little resistance.

A dandroid is shown moving mechanically and slowly.

Christo: Is this a joke?

Christo fights the dandroid and destroys it.

Christo (narrating): I had at least nailed ten, but MiV didn't even seem to be trying.

MiV is shown standing idly. A dandroid comes up to him, seems to recognize him, and backs away warily. He beckons it over and forces it to fight, and they exchange a few pitiful hits, but then MiV says "Go away" and the dandroid does.
Meanwhile, Christo is shown taking on multiple dandroids all by himself, destroying one just before another leaps at him, and another, and another.

Christo (narrating): Then I met Sanson Hi.

Sanson Hi approaches menacingly.

Christo goes up to him to fight, but his duct saber is knocked away with the first hit. Suddenly MiV jumps in.

MiV: I'll save you!

Christo (narrating): MiV fought bravely, but I guess it wasn't enough. He died saving my life.

MiV is mortally wounded by Sanson Hi.

Christo (narrating): After Sanson Hi left, I got out of the bushes to go see how MiV was.

MiV is lying on the ground, pinned under the weight of his duct saber.

Christo: MiV, are you all right?

MiV: No! I'm dying, Christo... take my light saber.

Christo takes the duct saber.

Christo: Thanks!

MiV: It's my token to you... don't forget me... I'm dyyyyiiinnnngggg....

MiV collapses.

Christo (narrating): I did everything I could to save him, but I had to bury him right there.

A grave is shown, and MiV's voice is heard saying "I-- I'm still alive!"

Back at the balcony with Christo in the present.

Christo: Well, that's my story, and that's why MiV isn't here with us today. Um... thank you.

Applause is heard as Christo goes inside and meets with Juan zi Nobie.

Juan zi Nobie: Why did you lie to us?

Christo: I didn't lie...

Juan zi Nobie: You did. You lied to us about all that happened.

Christo: Okay. I did.

Juan zi Nobie: Tell the story.

Christo: This is what really happened.

Another flashback, this time the truth. Christo is shown walking through the cornfield. He hears a rustling.

Christo: What's that?

We see Christo from the point of view of someone running through the corn. As we reach a clearing and see Christo, he says "Sanson Hi!" Christo fights Sanson Hi but is obviously outmatched. Just as Sanson Hi is about to kill him, another duct saber comes and stops his. We see that it is MiV.

Sanson Hi: Ah, master, I am sorry.

Christo groans from the ground.

Christo: What-- what's going on here?

MiV: I am the Masked inVader. Take this; I don't need it.

He throws his duct saber at Christo and leaves.

Back at the Ductorian planet.

Christo: And that's the whole story, that's the truth. Honest, everything's true.

Juan zi Nobie: We have a grave emergency on our hands. [to an assistant] Convene the Galactic Council.
