Back for another episode of Invincible!
Shrinking Rae and Rex Splode go shopping for food. Rae wants to make dinner herself. Rex tries to help Rae shop but they have to stop to fight a villain.
Back at the Guardians new base, Invincible/Mark, Robot Bulletproof and Amanda are trying to find out what the spying orb was. The one that blew up in Invincible’s hand outside his home. Rae and Rex get back, and Rae decides to order pizza for dinner. Robot and Rudy can’t analyze the orb because it's too damaged. They say it's a sophisticated device made on Earth with significant resources. They don't know who made it.
Invincible goes to GDA HQ and battles reanimen, but is stopped by the device in his head getting triggered. He collapses in pain. Cecil turns off the device causing pain in Invincible’s head. The reanimen restrained him. Cecil tells him they aren’t spying on him. Mark takes off. Donald asks Cecil what do they do about the orb. They are spying on the Grayson Family, but not with the orb tech.Mark rushes to start his date with Eve. She sees a portal opening next to their table. It’s Dropkick bnd Fightmaster. They ask him to come with them immediately because it’s life or death. Even stops them from approaching their table, and asks if Mark knows them. He says they stole the Declaration of Independence. They are from the future, and ask Mark to help them overthrow their king. They can’t return later.
They rethink Mark being a hero. Just as Eve asks him about his action, the two future guys take Mark. A sad Mark comes out of a time portal and takes his clothes, when he asks where to put them. That’s Odd!They arrive in Dropkick and Fightmaster’s future Earth and see devastation everywhere. They tell him how it all started centuries ago. One man was made ruler over all. He ruled well, but something changed, and went mad. No one knows what. He made new laws, ordered mandatory work camps, changed laws, imprisoned dissenters, and it got worse. There were senseless wars, factories of new soldiers, and the whole nation couldn’t survive without power and electricity. He annihilated ten cities and the rebellion started. They couldn’t stop him. Dropkick built a time machine to find answers on how to stop the future devastation. But, there was none. They saw Mark, and realized he could save them. Invincible asks if the king is a Viltrumite. Dropkick and Fightmaster don’t know what that is. Mark agrees to help. They make noise and the robot royal guards arrive. Invincible begins fighting them, but not before he confirms they aren’t sentient.
Dropkick and Fightmaster tell Invincible NOT to fight the guards. They just want to get captured so they get taken to see the king. Oops!The soldier leader recognizes Invincible and says they were waiting for him. They take them to see the king in a fantastic building Dropkick tells Mark their Mom was taken and they grew up in the work camps, and joined the rebellion. Dropkick and Fightmaster are taken away, to be executed. Mark doesn’t want that to happen, but Dropkick and Fightmaster tell him to stop the king, they can take care of themselves. He enters the strange-looking palace/building and is taken to see the king. He breaks out of the restraints and approaches the king.
He tells him it’s over and sees the king is Immortal. The king recognizes Invincible. Mark’s shocked to learn he is the King of Earth! Immortal is glad he came. The future Mark left with his family years ago. Mark tells him he’s from the past and asks him what he’s doing hurting people. Immortal says it was the only way to bring him back. Immortal tells Mark it was his fault all this happened. He’s not a Viltrimite, and couldn't handle ruling so long. Mark’s confused at that statement. Immortal starts choking Mark, and tells Mark why he chose him. Mark knows Immortal wasn’t like this King in the past, and asks why he created all that devastation, if maybe Kate dying caused it. Immortal’s memories are muddled, and he thinks he’s talking about Eve. He doesn’t remember Kate, cuz he’s had lots of wives. Him outliving everyone he loves made him slowly go mad. Mark doesn’t know how that feels. Immortal tells Mark to repay his debt.
He asks him if he would end his torment. Mark thought he meant stay and run the planet for him, but Immortal tells him that’s not what he meant. At that moment, Fightmaster and Dropkick break free of their restraints and defeat the guards. They escape. Immortal asks Mark to kill him, but Mark can’t believe that’s what he wants. He tells him to just quit. Immortal says a king can’t quit,because he must be there forever. He says that’s the only way. Past Mark said he can’t do that. Immortal tells Mark all this happened because of him, and begins fighting Mark to force him to kill him. Immortal says suicide is a coward’s disguise and continues fighting, begging, Mark to kill him.
Dropkick and Fightmaster enter and try to kill them. He beats Mark senseless, begging him to kill him. Mark’s anger is unleashed and he decapitates Immortal! Mark falls to the ground devastated for breaking his most valued rule. People's lives are precious and should never be taken. Dropkick and Fightmaster thank him for killing the King. He asks them not to thank him for killing someone, even if they hurt a lot of people. Mark says he saved a lot of people in his past. He tells him to keep all Immortal’s parts separated or he’ll keep returning. Mark walks away, and is blocked from leaving by the royal guards.
They announce the king is dead and authority is transferred to the people. Dropkick and Fightmmaster thank Mark again for saving their world. Mark wants to go home. Mark, Dropkick and Fightmaster leave the palace/weird building and hear the cheering people outside. They tell him there’s one more thing to do, and Mark asks why and where he can stash his clothes. The other Mark in the portal hands him his clothes again. STILL Odd! Dropkick and Fightmaster return him to his time, and his date with Eve. Time hasn’t changed much. A saddened Mark asks her if he’s a good person. She assures him he is. He tells her what happened, and that was all his fault.
Mark says he messed everything up. She tells him the future version of him wasn’t the current Mark. Mark is still devastated. She tells him she would never let him turn into a world conquering evil person, if he promises to do the same for her. They agree to never let that happen! They leave to return the Declaration of Independence, take off to enjoy their first date and Love! A Montage of their time together plays through and they are floating above the clouds and they Declare Their Love! They leave and make out at Mark’s home. In another part of the galaxy, Allen The Allen plans to Break himself and Nolan out of prison! A short story of Nolan and Allen continues. Nolan refuses to leave, until Allen hears Nolan say he misses his wife. Their guards continue to torture them. The Viltrimites are coming to execute Nolan, because Nolan thinks he disgraced his people, and abandoned his family. Allen is tired of Nolan’s self-deprecation and tells him he can change all that, and help him stop the empire. Again. Nolan refuses.
They reach an impasse and await death. The Viltrimites arrive and take Nolan away. Allen the Alien breaks out and releases all the other prisoners on the ship, including the toughest prisoner, Battle Beast. Allen telepathically tells Nolan to hold on, and Nolan responds telling him to leave him to his execution. The prisoners continue fighting the prison guards, as Nolan’s Viltrimite torture and nearing execution continues. Battle Beast is unhappy he can’t battle Viltrimites. Allen finds Nolan. Nolan is not happy. Battle Beast is happy now cuz he gets to battle one of the Viltrimites. Allen is stopped by the other one, and beaten. It wakes something in Nolan, and he cries out to stop. Nolan breaks free, and jokingly thanks Nolan. Nolan and Allen fight. Allen asks if Battle Beast can survive in space and bursts a hole in the ship.
Everyone is swept out to continue fighting in space. Nolan and Allen destroy one of the Viltrimites, and look for the other. Battle Beast continues fighting him. Allen thanks Nolan for saving him. He assures him that he knows Nolan doesn’t want to betray his people even though they are psychopathic murderers. Nolan asks why Allen saved him, and is struck by Allen’s doing that for him. No Viltrimite would do that. Allen told him Nolan can change. Allen tells him they need to get away before more Viltrimites come. Nolan assures him that no more will come. Nolan reveals why and how they can beat the Viltrimites. Returning to the Grayson home, Mark and Eve are enjoying each other. Mark’s Mom knocks on his door but can’t get in. Eve giggles and they decide to get their own place.
What a Great Episode! Love the Time Travel, but not the bloody outcome of what had to happen. Never thought an Immortal would go insane. Happy Eve and Mark declared their love, but still miss Amber. Allen saving Nolan was AWESOME! Nolan’s tidbit of knowledge on how to defeat the Viltrimites was unexpected. Nolan FINALLY having Compassion for Others is TOTALLY a Jaw Dropper! Wonder what Debbie will think now she’s moved on with someone new. Will Dropkick and FightMaster make another time traveling appearance? Did they have to destroy Future Immortal? Why not just exile him to another planet or galaxy? Why didn’t Mark and Eve go to her treehouse to make out? Lots of questions for this Super Episode!
