I know!
Raised before the sky bleeds
For we are, we are light!
I wallow... but I'm not sorry at all!
[Narrator]
The Planet Smasher
A creature with a voice so powerful, one word can destroy galaxies, universes!
One utterance of the most powerful sonic force of anything, anywhere can defeat Blattaria!
Way out in space and far from home
Who's the maker? Who's the man?
Who's the maker? Who's the man?
It's your way out
Raise before the night bleeds
A man will come and be flown away
Come forth as the time needs
Free in the universe
[Narrator]
Night, the infinite darkness. The death of a star. These things will all come to pass unless Ziltoid and the humans are victorious
We're on our way... follow!
All gone astray? We fly!
[Narrator]
Legend has spoken of the Planet Smasher in hushed tones
The size of 50 elephants, a huge gaping maw baring rows of dagger-like teeth!
Claws that could tear a human in half with a single, effortless swipe!
Eyes that burn like a hellish furnace!! Get a hold of yourselves, humans
And prepare. He. is. Coming!
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
[Narrator]
On the horizon, a looming shadow begins to appear
The planet smasher!
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth
[Narrator]
He has arrived!
[Children:] He's so cute! Haha!
[Ziltoid:] No, no, no... He's terrifying!
[Children:] No, no, no... Just look at him! … He's so FUZZY!
[Ziltoid:] No, seriously, don't provoke him!
[Narrator]
Well, as it turns out, the Planet Smasher is just a little guy... Furry, and about the size of a football
And with the most adorable little toes... you could just eat them up!
[Narrator]
The stage is set
The immensely powerful, though admittedly cute as a button Planet Smasher
is wielded carefully by the humans. Ziltoid leads the army, and it has been decided that he will be given the weapon at the right moment
Ziltoid is the only one capable of summoning the Smasher's mighty roar
But is even he strong enough?
