Seeking the Truth

Seeking the Truth is the 57th episode of Brandon 10: Alien Force.

Plot
The episode begins in a room. A figure sits at a desk; typing.

Figure, typing: As an officer of the law, I am trained to prepare for the unexpected. The biggest of criminals. The baddest of crimes. But in my department, I follow cases that the regulars can't handle. When a creepy house disappears on its own, when a town abandonned for years has evidence of a reccent battle, when an ex-salesman gets arrested for blowing up gas stations with one hand. There have been cases like this. New ones and old ones. But there's been a case I couldn't shake. A conspiracy? A theory? A mystery? In the past, its been considered myths and stories but for the past five years there has been more proof and more activity of alien presences.

A wall with pictures of Loch Ness, Swampfire, Lodestar and Snow Bear as well as some charts and stuff are seen.

Figure, continuing to type: Most people may not believe it but some of us believers are still here doing what we do best. It's my job, under whatever is nessercary, to find the truth.

The scene switches to a dark forest. A girl walks through the forest.

Girl: Chad? Chad, are you there? Chad, I think I lost you.

The girl continues to walk around the forest. A vibrating sound is heard. The girl looks up and a light shines onto her sharply. A lot of wind kicks in. The girl screams as she is taken from the ground and pulled into the sky until she disappears into the light.

Man's voice: ...Starting with the reccent alien abudtions.

The light then shuts off and the vibrating sound fades away.

Theme Song

At Coco's Garage, Brandon is using Coco's computer. Coco walks over to Brandon.

Coco: Hey!

Brandon Oh hi.

Coco: Not hey. Hey!

Brandon: What?

Coco: What are you using my computer for?

Brandon: Geometry Project.

Coco stares at Brandon.

Brandon: (sigh) I was checking for an update at the Alien Hero website.

Coco: They still have that show on air?

Brandon: I know right. Isn't it awesome?

Coco: Suuure. You still didn't answer my question.

Brandon: What gives, dude? You always used my computer.

Coco: That was different.

Brandon: Really? I remember one time where you wanted to use my computer to enter a competition.

Coco: Er... Okay that wasn't so different.

Sarah, calling out from a chair: What are you guys talking about?

Coco: Nothing.

Brandon: About how Coco uses my stuff and doesn't let me use his stuff.Like that time you also used my computer to keep me in alien form so you can hit on that g-

Coco: Game! On that game. I was a real gamer back then.

Sarah shurgs and continues typing on her laptop.

Coco, turning back to Brandon, quietly: Seriously?

Brandon: What?

Coco: (sigh) Nevermind. Just don't read my email. (walks away)

Brandon: Why? ... (clicks on another tab and reads quietly) Car stuff, Car stuff, Car stuff... Burger Hut discounts... um... Car stuff. Car stuff. Car stuff. Car stuff. Car- ...Hang on a sec. What's that? "Thank you for buying a limited edition-"

Coco: Are you reading my mail?!

Brandon, quickly switching back to the Alien Hero website: No way! (nervously) Heh Heh...

Coco stops staring and continues checking the engine of his car.

Brandon: Whoa! Unlock Iceman for ColdBelow and Mantis for Fighting IV! Must. Get.

Right as Brandon is going to click the unlock button, the computer screen goes fuzzy.

Brandon: Aw man! Coco, I thought you just fixed your computer.

Coco: It's been having glitches. Just whack it a few times.

The lights flicker.

Sarah: Um, guys. I don't think its the computer.

Brandon: I'm on it.

Brandon scrolls through the Omnitrix, stops at the Agilmur hologram and slaps down the Omnitrix. Brandon undergoes an alien transformation sequence. He transforms into Agilmur.

Agilmur: AGILMUR!

Agilmur attempts to lift the garage door open but its too heavy for him. Coco looks now with an annoyed expression and walks over to the door. He looks down at Agilmur who is still attempting to pry the door open with his hands and he pushes a button which activates the door to open.

Agilmur, hanging from the reeling garage door: AH! I did it! I mean of course I did.

Agilmur drops from the garage door and climbs up the garage. Agilmur sees a ship in the distance.

Agilmur: He's heading for an alley way close by.

Agilmur leaps from the garage roof and onto a lamp pole. He swings from the lamp post to the next and to the next and to the next. A figure runs for the alley way; carrying an object. Agilmur stops behind the figure.

Agilmur: Hold it right there.

The figure turns around; still unseen by the shadows. He continues to run for the alley way. Agilmur runs after him. The figure then starts to glow. Agilmur attempts to tackle the figure but when he does, the figure disappears. Agilmur gets up and looks around but sees no sign of him. Coco's Car then pulls up. The two step out from the car.

Coco: What happened?

Agilmur: Unusual alien bad guy or whatever.

Agilmur hits the Omnitrix symbol and changes back into Brandon. Brandon sees something shiny on the ground. He leans in on it and sees a weird crystal-like device. He picks it up and looks at it.

Brandon: What do you make of this?

Sarah, examining: I'm not sure. I may be smart but I don't know a lot on aliens.

Coco: I'm not sure either. I may know things on aliens but-

Brandon: You're not smart?

Coco: But I haven't seen that before... Watch it, Tennyson.

Sarah: I think we should take it back to the garage.

Coco: After that, I'd be surprised if the mirowave still works.

Brandon: Wait a minute... This is serious...

Sarah: What?

Brandon: We have a mircowave in the garage and you never told us?

Coco: ...Yeah. What's the big deal?

Brandon: That means I could've been having popcorn right now.

Coco: If I told you earlier, you would've had popcorn in the car.

Sarah: Anyways, if the garage is out. When should totally go to... um... (looks at Coco) my h-

Brandon: Juice Shack, right. Nice thinking, Sarah.

Sarah gets an annoyed look.

Sarah: Yeah. Juice Shack. For sure...

Coco: Sure. Any new flavors?

Brandon: Only one. Potato. I might try that one out.

In the distance, a car watches them.

Later, at the Juice Shak, Sarah and Coco sit at their table.

Coco: So what were you going to say to me before Brandon intruptted.

Sarah: Um... It was nothing.

Coco: You sure?

Sarah: (sigh) My house.

Coco: What?

Sarah: I was going to say my house.

Coco: Oh...

Sarah: Because I have a chemistry kit there.

Coco: Oh. Right. No offense Sarah but I doubt chemistry kits can indentify alien substances.

Sarah: Yeah... Guess I wasn't thinking right at the time.

Brandon walks in with a tray of milkshakes.

Brandon: Strawberry for Sarah. Coconut for Coco and Potato for me.

Coco: You are what you eat, I guess.

Sarah: Aw... Coco that's so sweet.

Brandon: I don't get it.

Sarah: So what's up with this crystal device... thingy?

Coco: I don't know. I really have no idea.

Brandon slurps his milkshake and examines the taste.

Brandon: Could use some gravy... and sprinkles.

Across the street, there is a man in a car watching the team.

Man, recording himself: Log 55-10.50... Suspects of alien invasion socialize at local fast food restaurant. About what? I can't make out.

A phone is heard. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a cell phone.

Man, answering: Hello?

Woman, on phone: Anderson, where are you?

Anderson: I'm working a case.

Woman, on phone: Well you forgot something.

Anderson: My badge?

Woman, on phone: Me. We're partners. I thought we work cases together.

Anderson: I know. I know. I just wanted to get a background on this guy.

Woman, on phone: What guy? Where are you?

Anderson: I'll fill you in on the details back at the office.

Anderson hangs up. He looks back outside the window and the team are gone. He reaches for something in his glove compartment while Coco's Car drives past his car. He looks back out of the window and sees nothing. Back at the office, Anderson reviews over the wall of pictures while his female partner looks over some papers at his desk.

Woman: Still doesn't make sense to me.

Anderson: Think about it, Casey. They were in all of the places the reccent ones were.

Casey: It could be a coincidences.

Anderson: Ha! I don't believe in coincidences. Remember that time when that guy with the long scarf offered that girl some food after her's fell over? Can't be a coincidence.

Casey: He could've saw it fall.

Anderson: He kept it in his pocket. Maybe he was expected a long trip. A long and unusual trip. He's an alien. I feel it.

Casey: Or a hobo. He did live in a box.

Anderson: Well I live in my office.

Casey: So what's this case you can't shake off.

Anderson: In the past week, people have gone missing around this area (shows circle on map). Nobody's been found, there were no signs of evidence and they're thinking of closing down the case.

Casey: Kidnappers.

Anderson: Nah. They wouldn't do something this big. They'd do something like that case where they kidnapped some 10 year old five years ago and there were explosions in the warehouse.

Casey: Let me guess. That was one of our cases.

Anderson: He claimed aliens. Anyways, enough with the references to other cases. Here's the big thing. (throws picture onto desk of the team earlier in the alleyway) I tracked down a possible UFO to an spaced out and empty warehouse district. However all I found were these kids and I think they're involved with the abudtions.

Casey: Or kidnapping. We need proof before we can make an arrest. What do you have in mind?

Anderson: I did two stakeouts and I hate stakeouts. So I'm going to question them.

Casey, correcting: We're going to question them, you mean.

Anderson: Yeah. Totally.

Later, there are knocks at the door.

Sarah, answering: Yes?

Anderson: Miss. Sarah Tennyson.

Sarah: Yes?

Anderson, showing badges: I'm Agent Anderson and this is Agent Casey Johnson. We were wondering if you could answer some questions for us.

Sarah: Um sure. What's this all about, Officers?

Casey: We're looking into a case about missing persons.

Sarah: Yeah. I read about it on my laptop.

Anderson: We were wondering if you saw this man before.

Anderson shows Sarah a photograph of Brandon.

Sarah: Um yeah. He's my cousin. Is he in trouble?

Anderson: No. But we believe he is involved.

Casey: Nothing is confirmed though.

Sarah: Well I was with him this morning. I doubt he could've done anything involving a kidnapping.

Anderson: We understand, Madame.

Scene cuts to Anderson and Casey staking out Coco's Garage.

Casey: I thought you said you hate stakeouts.

Anderson: Solo Stakeouts, at least. This one is supposed to be the brute of the group so we have to wait till there's some type of indentication of his presence in the warehouse.
