SPHDZ 4 Life! Spring bloomed beautiful in Brooklyn. Flowers unfolded. Bees buzzed. A flock of pigeons circled high in the bright blue sky. But none of that mattered. Because 1. the chief of the AAA had turned out to be a bad Spaceheadz in disguise! 2. the chief had stolen the Spaceheadz Brainwave! 3. the chief was going to bllrrp the planet Gonf! 4. the chief was sure to turn off Earth! And now the only group that could stop him was down to its last plan. Michael K./his friends Venus and TJ/Spaceheadz Bob, Jennifer, and Major Fluffy/DarkWave X agents Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot/Mom K., Dad K., and Baby K./AAA agents Hot Magenta and Umber sat around the table inside Spaceheadz HQ. The flickering light of the Spaceheadz TVs lit their very serious faces. "We've tried everything," said DarkWave X agent Delta. "We are beat," said Dad K. "So not LEMON FRESH," said Bob. "Eeeek eeee eeee," said Major Fluffy. "Gooo goo gah," agreed Baby K. Michael K. stood up at the head of the table. "We have to take back our Brainwave and save the world. We are not beat yet." Everyone around the table grumbled. "We have ALL NATURAL failed our SPHDZ assignment," said Jennifer. "We are FAT FREE SPHDZ disgrace," said Bob. The Spaceheadz HQ TV screens flashed a checkerboard of commercials showing steaming tacos, value-menu cheeseburgers, extra-cheesy cheese puffs, hot chunky salsa, and red-hot potato chips. "We've tried everything," said TJ. "What else can we do?" "Week eeek eee eeek eee," Major Fluffy suggested. "Squee eeek eek eeee eek eek eee eee."
