First part [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

While he took the form of a young teenager, Androvax is arrested by a group of men in black belonging to the Alliance des Shades, who prevent him from accessing a trunk. Androvax realizes that it takes two discs to open it. He tries to return to Sarah Jane Smith, but is noticed by Gita Chandra and Haresh Chandra out of a meeting of fairly gullible ufologists, named the Burpps (The British UFO Research and Paranormal Studies Society) where they got to know Ocean Waters. Once the chandra is the Chandra, Androvax will take the form of Rani to question Mr Smith, but he will be stopped by Sarah Jane. Androvax fled from prison where he was stung by tenacious venom. He asks Sarha Jane his help: he must open a huge trunk where the last descendants of his people are located.

After a meeting with Ocean Water who came to her garden to make surveys, Sarah Jane will be chased by the men in black near the trunk. Invited to Ocean Waters, they will realize that she met the men in very small black, and that he left her one of the records, which she now carries on her permanently. Androvax, in Clyde’s body then seizes the disc before the men in black come back and threaten them.

Second part [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Exchange from Ocean Waters, Androvax takes control of the body of Gita Chandra and fled to the disused hospital where the trunk is located. He was then followed by the small group of Sarah Jane and by the men in black. During prosecution races, Gita was released by Androvax and black men reveal to Sarah Jane that the opening of the trunk will cause the destruction of the earth. Finally, Androvax will succeed in opening the trunk, and locking himself inside. Sarah Jane Smith will succeed in forcing Mr Dread so that he gives part of his energy to sending the trunk in the space where he can deploy properly. Then, he will erase Gita’s memories, before breaking down the battery and being placed in a capsule.

Back in Bannerman Road, Gita no longer believes in the Aliens. Meanwhile, Androvax is looking for a new planet for his people.
