Plot
The sky was gloomy and stormy like the god of thunder himself launched the mother of all punishments towards all the residents of New York.

The camera then cuts to the ocean and slowly digs into the depths of the water, first person style.

It moves around to view a deep murky and, really polluted view. And then we see a round metal object in the ocean.

And it starts blinking slowly. As it begins to pick up speed, it levitates itself off of the ocean floor, skyrockets out of the water, and crashes through a sail boat causing this huge explosion.

It goes further up into the air and then it starts to take a show of its own. The camera then shows his eyes flash red and then blasts the screen with a red light.

~Title Sequence~

Out in the far reaches of space, Commander Adam Hale (Sam Worthington) was on his daily patrol, flying around in his Volta X suit.

Adam: Computer. Can you give me a full scan of this solar system?

Commander: Clear, sir........You have an incoming call from Codename: Chaos.

Adam: Patch her in.

Adam received the call and soon heard another voice on the line.

Katherine (Anna Kendrick): How's it going out there, baby?

Adam: Pretty clear, today. Most of the "Most Wanted" have already been subdued. So if we're lucky enough, we may be in for some quality time.

Katherine: About time. That means even more time for fun.

Adam: *Chuckles* How's Sara, hon?

Katherine: She's excited about her birthday.....and she can't help but wonder where her father is.

Adam: I'll bet. Just gotta make a quick stop at HQ and then I'll be on my way back.

Katherine: Alright. Just don't keep me waiting......Commander.

Adam: *chuckles* Love you.

Katherine: Love you too.

Adam disconnected his contact connection and made his way to the Galactic Heroes HQ.

Adam (Sam Worthington) quickly approached the Heroes HQ with a look of anticipation for he didn't know what to expect with everyone being there.

Adam: Tessa, could open the top hanger for me?

As requested, the top hanger of the HQ was opened and Adam slowly entered the ship as everyone applauded his arrival.

Soon enough, he took off his Volta X suit and soaked in the applause.

Zip (voiced by Tom Holland): Glad to see you're finally back, Commander.

Tessa (voiced by Nancy Allen): We couldn't be any happier.

Adam: Yeah, its good to be back.

He looks around at everyone in attendance and starts shaking hands and giving out hugs. Soon enough, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old buddy of his, Ross (Damon Wayans).

Adam: Ross.

Ross: Commander Hale.

They also shake hands and embrace in a hug.

Adam: It's been awhile. I haven't seen you since you left for the academy.

Ross: Ahhhh, I was just passing through. Felt like I was back in college again.

Adam: Well regardless....*picks up his helmet* Why don't you come back to the house with me? Kat would love to see you again. And plus, there's a birthday girl down there eager to see her uncle one more time.

Ross: Nah....I....I don't want to be a bother. Besides, I....The academy gave me my first assignment today. They're having me investigate a boat explosion that happened recently.

hat statement puzzled Adam for a sec, but he shrugged it off.

Adam: Ahhhh. That sucks. But still, it was good seeing you.

He puckers up and gives Ross a hug as Ross looks over at Zip and mouths, "I love this guy."

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Sara Hale (Ciara Bravo) was sneaking into her mothers room to find something. She knew, for some reason, that something was wrong. While Sara didn't tear the room apart, she kept searching high and low 'till she was interrupted.

Wade (Liev Schreiber): Lost something?

The voice startled her as she turned around to see her uncle by the door.

Sara: Uhh....*chuckles*.....No, Uncle Wade.....it's just......a little anxious about Dad coming home.

Wade: I don't blame you for feeling that way. There are times that you can't help but anticipate seeing the one you care for again. I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss it.

Katherine (Anna Kendrick): And neither would I. Come on, it's best if we wait.

Kat took ahold of her daughters hand and led her downstairs and into the living room. Wade also followed them down. Then all of a sudden, they heard the door opening.

Katherine: *Gasps* I wonder who that could be.

Sara: Daddy's home!!

Kat ran to the living room giggling and she opened the door

Adam: Hey!! *Laughs and picks her up*

Katherine couldn't help but smile and laugh as he spun her around.

Katherine: You won't believe this. But I caught her in our room feeling "Anxious" to see you.

Adam: Oh really? *Chuckles* I don't think I've seen her like that before. Was that a first?

Katherine: I doubt it. Come on.....

Katherine lead Adam into the living room where Sara and Wade was anticipating and as soon as she saw him, she smiled and gave him a hug.

Sara: I cannot begin to tell you long I've waited for you to come home to me.....

Adam: Well, I can't begin to tell you the same thing, princess.

He kissed her on the forehead, then Katherine and Wade came in with the cake and lit candles

Katherine: Happy birthday, darling.

She sets the cake on the table in front of Sara while the others sing happy birthday to her.

Everyone: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Sara. Happy birthday to you.

Adam: Alright, hun. Make a wish.

Sara breathed deeply and blew out her candles. Everyone cheered.

Later, Adam was tickling Sara in her bed as she giggled.

Sara: *giggling and laughing* Dad, stop. You know I'm ticklish.

Adam: Just makes all the more difficult to resist.

Sara: I'm glad you're here again.

Adam: Same here, hon.

He tucked her in and kissed her head and was about to walk out till.....

Sara: Daddy?

Adam: Hmm?

Sara: When can I go into space with you?

Adam: *Chuckles* Sooner than you'll than think?

He turned out the lights and closed the door, giving Sara the chance to get some sleep.

Later up in Adam and Katherine's room....he was up on the bed, checking any additional info on the explosion case that was signed to Ross.

And that's when Kat walked into the room.

Katherine: So any new briefing up on HQ?

Adam: *looks up at her* Nothin' much, really. Ross finally got his first assignment from the academy.

Katherine: Oh, that's great. What's the assignment?

Adam: Something about a ship explosion. But....

Katherine: Is something wrong, Adam?

Adam: Hmm.....*Smiles at Kat* Nah, nothing.

Adam grabbed Kat and pulled her to the bed. She giggled and they made out 'till the computer beeped.

Computer: Commander? You have an urgent call from HQ.

Adam and Kat looked at each other.

Katherine: Yeah......Computer, put them on the line.

The transmission went through to Kats emitter. And it was Byron's voice on the other side.

Byron (Columbus Short): Adam, we have a problem.

Adam: I'm listening.

Byron: We have a intruder in the hanger bay. We don't where or how it got in, but all hell is breaking loose over here.

Both Adam and Kat looked at each other with a small smirk.

Katherine: No worries. We'll be right over.

The transmission was cut off.

Katherine: So much for some quality time.

Adam: Let's hope this intruder is a prisoner who escaped.

Katherine: What else could it be?

In a sanctuary period of time; they suit up.

Computer: Calculating: Codenames Volta and Chaos.

Their helmets automatically seal over their heads and then they fly up to Headquarters where they enter from the main deck.

Chaos: Computer, bring up the rader.

Computer brought up a map for the HQ. But then it slowly glitches out.

Chaos: What the--

Volta X: No worries. I'll lead you around.

As they scouted through the hanger bay all the way to the upper level, they continued to look around, unaware that the intruder was scaling the walls. When it found its opportunity to strike, it did. But Chaos saw him coming and threw him down.

Chaos: Aww man. Another one?

Volta X ran through his analysis and looked up the info on it.

Volta X: "Orion".......you sure that name didn't come from the belt?

Orion (Jet Li): Nuisance.

He tries attacking both Volta X and Chaos, but both of them dodge his attacks with ease.

Volta then stuns him with a lightning whip, which stuns him momentarily. But just when Chaos is about to launch a Black Hole strike, Orion disappears.

Chaos: Well, that wasn't much fun. Where'd he go?

Orion then reappears in the control room with his helmet off. Nobody was in there. He digs through the equipment, but unfortunately he doesn't find what he's after.

Orion: Now.....where is it??? He said it would be here! Where is it?!!

Volta X: Looking for this?

Orion turned around just as Volta shot electric bolts, bolting him to the walls. He struggled to get release himself as the Heroes stood side by side like a heroic effort ending. Volta then approaches Orion.

Volta X: Alright, Orion. What's your game this time?

Orion: That's classified, commander. We all have a code to live by.

Adam: *takes off his helmet* Well, your code's about to expire unless you tell us what you're after. I mean, personally, you'll find yourself comfortable talking to me than her.

Orion looks over his shoulder to see Katherine cracking her knuckles.

Orion: No lingering will make me turn away from what he made me be. He will strike his deadliest upon all of you and your world will come to an end.

Adam: Oh my....I don't have time for this sh*.

He knocked him out and left him attached to the wall.

Adam: *looks over at Chaos* Care to do the honors, hon?

Chaos nods and steps ahead.

Chaos: Computer, begin extraction.

Her emitter lights up as it starts absorbing Orion's energy from his emitter and takes his suit with it. The combined force of his emitter with hers turned Chaos.....into Chaos X.

Adam: How does it feel?

Chaos X: Not much different.

Adam: But you'll get used to it soon enough.

Meanwhile, back at home, Sara was, again, sneaking in her mothers room, searching for whatever she was looking for. But again, nothing. Deep down, she was annoyed that her parents had to leave AGAIN and that they can never get any quality time to spend together.

Sara: *sighs* It's just not fair, sometimes.

Just as she was about to walk out the room, she hears some beeping. She turns around and heads toward the dresser. Sara digs threw it and finds a mini black box with a note attached.

The note reads:
