My name is Cameron Turner.

16 years ago, my dad was an astronaut on a mission to intercept an asteroid

headed for Earth.

Recently, he disappeared without a trace.

And now weird stuff has begun to happen.

My only clue is a graphic novel he was working on called Mission Dawn.

It's up to me and my friends to use Mission Dawn to uncover the truth and

my dad.

Yo, check it out!

Beck! Beck! Look what you're about to make on! What? The aliens, dude!

The big aliens!

The party just started.

Here's to Rockwell. Will you put the toy away?

It's Miss Ward's science lab.

After illegally attending an underground rave last night, Shane went missing.

It's like you got hit by a car. I mean, it was kind of hard knowing that aliens

have infiltrated the human species.

Guys, I really don't think we should talk about this in school, okay? And I

don't think you should be wearing those.

Well, they can be anywhere.

Look, we're cop cars.

This is becoming a trend.

Who's that guy?

What guy?

Tall guy in black. I've seen him before.

I didn't see anybody. He was just there.

Hey, the police are questioning everybody about Shane. Other kids are

Nobody knows what happened to him.

I know what's happening.

Kim's girlfriend ate him all. She's not my girlfriend. Look, we have to get our

story straight.

All right, we can't tell anybody what we saw.

All right, whatever. You're the one that got us into this mess, Turner.

You're the one who knows those alien freaks. Yeah, well, I also saved you

being eaten alive.

Okay, this isn't helping, guys.

Why are we protecting him?

What are they talking about?

You know what, Pierce?

If you want to tell them that Shane got eaten by a little green man, go for it.

Maybe they'll believe you.

Very nice.

You know, maybe they won't lock you in Olivine House for the rest of your life.

I hear mental institutions look great on college apps. Okay, we get it. But

Cam's right, though. If we say anything, they'll just think we're nuts.

So what's the plan?

I mean, can we have a fake name or what? No. Look, we were all at the crater

until late, and Shane never showed up.

Period.

Okay. Where were you last night between 9 p .m. and 3 a .m.? I was at the

Crater.

Fork Moleskine?

It's not a fake name.

Crater closes at midnight.

Where'd you go from there?

May I just say that I admire the police force and all you've done to protect our

city. I went to my friend Cam's. I crashed at Boris's.

I like my lawyer present.

Oh, duh.

That's right.

We live in the same building, so sometimes we mix up whose apartment's

and sometimes I'll be like, whoa, that's not my mom. Come on, I have three

witnesses that said you were with Shane at the rave. I didn't want to go to the

rave, but Cameron Turner, he peer pressured me.

It's fine.

Okay. I went to the rave.

But everyone there was, like, older and cooler.

And then suddenly, everyone turned into, like, big, green, slimy aliens with,

like, tentacles and stuff like that.

Turner got us into the rave.

He seemed to know the people that worked there.

And they started to, like, suck the life force out of us. You know, like, from

the movie from the 80s? And then, like, the sounds and the... Okay, quiet. I've

heard enough.

Your friend's missing. You seem to think this is a joke.

What are you hiding? I don't know where Shane is.

Okay, neither do my friends.

Not what your friend Pierce said.

Well, he's not my friend.

But good luck finding Shane.

I hope for his family's sake you do a better job finding him than you did my

dad.

He broke me, dude. A traffic cop could break you. Dude, don't worry about it,

alright? That guy doesn't have a clue.

We have to find Shane.

Us? How?

We'll retrace our steps.

Plus, we can use the goggles. You know, I have a feeling if we can find Stella

and her crew, we'll find Shane.

Ken, this is not your responsibility, and it's too dangerous.

Yeah, I know you want to find your girlfriend and all, but... She's not my

girlfriend. What do you mean, really? I mean, can we just leave the soul

-sucking aliens alone?

Thanks. Hey, thanks for sticking to the story, Pierce.

Oh, you got a problem, Turner?

This is all your fault, Turner. You're the one that got us into that rave.

Maybe you are guilty.

Seems people around you just disappear. First your father, now Shane.

Not cool.

Go ahead, man. Keep talking about my dad. Better watch it, freak.

Okay, guys, stop.

So long, suckers. Great.

Oh!

Stay like my grandma!

Mr. Chandler, I found these two skating in the halls.

I warned you, no skating in the halls. You can have these back at the end of

week. The week? Is that a problem?

That sounds perfectly fine, Mr. Chandler.

More than fair, Mr. Chandler. Want to make it two weeks? No.

No, we're good.

Can we have those back, though? He needs them to see.

Kim? Is this you?

Get back to class.

Well, that was a great start to the investigation.

Get over it. There's just some stupid goggles.

Those stupid goggles allow you to see aliens in their true form, and now we

can't use them.

Well, maybe it's for the best. I mean, honestly, I would be completely fine

never, ever seeing another alien again in my entire life.

And what about Shane?

Alright, it could have been one of us. I know that if you got taken by aliens,

you'd want your friends to come find you. He's right.

Even if he is a punk.

Seriously? Is Pierce actually agreeing with you?

What am I, Bizarro World?

You know what? Rock and roll were outside the Wraith.

Maybe they saw something.

They're alive!

Whoa. Whoa.

My EMF detector's going nuts.

I think he's possessed.

Nah, he's cool. Sorry. This is where you guys hang out?

Looks like a nerd exploded in here.

Now, why is he here?

Has there been a tear in the space -time continuum?

Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.

We tried calling you. We couldn't get into the rave, so we went for pizza.

Gracias. Brick oven.

Best fried egg and jalapeno pizza in all of New York.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. So, you guys didn't see aliens?

Yeah, right. Okay.

It's bad enough we didn't get in. You don't have to make fun of us.

Oh, no, no, no. You are messing with powers beyond your control.

Have you guys seen Shane since then? No. The police were here asking questions,

though. Look, did you tell them anything?

No, of course not. The police are all bought. Part of the conspiracy.

Besides, it's obvious what happened to Shane.

He was taken by the Pied Piper.

Who's the Pied Piper?

You haven't heard.

This is the guy.

This is the guy I saw outside the school this morning.

I think he's been following me. Whoa, you saw him?

Did he see you?

Yeah, I think so.

This is not good.

No, no, no, he stalks his victims before he grabs them.

It says he has this weird device he uses to hypnotize kids.

This is the guy that took Shane.

Maybe you're next.

This place is a ghost town.

What if the Piper's out there right now?

Waiting for us? Dude, forget about the Piper.

Come on.

You know aliens took shame. Yeah, but those aliens hide in human form, okay?

What if the Piper's an alien?

Gotta get those goggles.

It's the only way we can find out.

Well, I'll talk to Mr. Chandler tomorrow and get him back.

He loves me.

How can you blame him? No, we're not waiting that long.

We can't risk anything happening to him. We'll go back to the school tonight.

Tonight? I'm not some juvenile delinquent, Turner.

I gotta think about my future.

Fine. If you're scared, let's go by ourselves.

Oh, yeah.

I'm scared.

All right, then meet us at the back entrance to the school.

Ten o 'clock.

The suspect goes by the moniker the Pied Piper.

If you see this man, walk to safety and report it to the police immediately.

See you later, Mom. Bye, Mr. Turner. Cam, where are you guys going?

We're just going to the movies with Lucy.

I think you better stay in tonight.

With these kids missing and that Pied Piper out there, I'd just feel better if

you were here.

You know, Mom, we could take care of ourselves.

I mean, they haven't proved that the Pied Piper took those kids.

I know, but I don't think we should take any chances.

I rented a movie.

We can make popcorn. It'll be fun.

You know, if we're staying in, we should really work on that school project.

Yeah, the project.

Yeah, so we'll be in Deb's studio.

Oh, what's the project?

Art. The art of science.

Okay.

So we should get on to that.

you know, get started there.

Where are those losers?

Hey, how'd you guys get in here?

Window's open, man. We got lucky.

Come on.

Wait, wait, wait. What is this? What are you wearing?

Such an amateur.

I don't take fashion advice from faux hipsters in skinny jeans.

Yeah, but I like these. They're good.

False alarm.

Shut up!

No, you shut up! Ninja! Guys?

Can you pull it together?

Why'd you have to be here anyways?

Can't we just get this over with?

You started it. Yeah, you like it?

Can you stop it? Shh.

What are you doing? There's balloons everywhere.

This is his stash of confiscated stuff.

Hey, these are mine.

Those would be yours.

You're such a Philistine.

Did you guys just hear that?

Keep looking.

All right, they're around here somewhere.

Dude, they're not here. Maybe he took them home. Dude, they're here. We're not

leaving without them, so... Fine.

Hey!

I was just gonna...

I'll tell you. You were just taking it for yourself. I was not. That's all you

try to put him in your pocket, man.

We got him.

Whoa.

This is so cool.

It's like he has four eyes.

What's going on here?

I can explain.

All right, Ms. Warren.

It always happens. I'm never hanging out with you again, Turner.

I mean, did you see those tentacles?

Blue and slime.

He's more than alien.

I knew there was something wrong with him. Where'd she go?

Where'd she go?

You saw me land that trick, right?

Now the Piper can kill us before she does.

Run. Now.

I'll deal with her.

Oh, I'm not going in there.

Get out of my way!

Dude, I can't believe it. Mr. Ward's an alien?

And the Piper just blacked it, not us.

Tell me about it. Where are we?

Is this like your guy's little bat cave?

We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.

Guys?

Oh, hello.

Mom, this is Pierce.

He's here to help us with the project. Good evening, Mrs. Turner.

You have a lovely home.

Well, it's getting late. You guys can finish your project tomorrow.

Come on.

Come on.

Cam, are you feeling all right?

Yeah. Looks like you're burning up from doing all that homework.

I feel fine.

You shouldn't worry so much.

Dude, this place is spotless. I mean, I was expecting, like, green alien guts

everywhere. Maybe the Piper has, like, a crime -themed cleanup crew.

Hey, Cameron.

Dude!

Yo, where have you been?

Everybody's looking for you.

Oh, yeah.

It was a big misunderstanding.

I was at a friend's house.

What friends?

Where are your friends?

You don't know.

It was a big misunderstanding.

Is that all you have to say?

You were at the rave. You thought what happened. We thought... Nothing

It was all just a... Big misunderstanding.

Okay.

Get your stuff, Shane. It's time to go.

Go where?

I'm transferring to Orion Academy.

My parents think this city is too distracting.

Back to class, boys.

Okay.

The Orion Academy?

Hey, was that Shane?

You mean Body Snatcher Shane?

Then yeah.

Apparently the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

Okay. So fill me in on the way to science.

Heads up.

We might have a substitute today.

Wait, why?

Nothing. The three of us had a crazy night.

Wait, so you guys hung out last night? Hey, it wasn't my first choice.

But it's up against aliens now, so we have to stick together.

Okay, I can't wait to hear the story.

Oh, I forgot something.

I'll catch up with you guys.

Okay.

You can go back to class now
