1"The Mystery Of The Last Truenox"16 November 2013 (2013-11-16)
On the planet of Verum, a species of creatures known as the Truenoxen, a species that can tell the future, are chanting, predicting that only a girl named Alisa can save the universe. A hole opens up in the ground, seemingly killing them all, except one, who is attacked by wolf-like Barphbuds. In school, Alisa gets a message from her father, Professor Salazar, who tells her that his trip is boring. In reality, he and Dr. Gilliam Knute are chasing the last Truenox. They are attacked by a Barpbhud, but Alisa doesn't find out what happened, as she is accused of cheating during a test. Her friend Alex tries to defend her, but accidentally reveals that student Natalie is cheating off of her sister Marie. Alex steps on a cactus, which leads to a chain reaction where fellow student Erik's invention is confiscated by their robot teacher, Mr. Peterson. The five are sent out of the classroom, where Erik realizes that he forgot to turn off his invention, Brella-bot. Brella is designed to collect water, and in the process accidentally knocks out Mr. Peterson. He falls and locks the classroom, trapping the students with an explosive Brella-bot, who Erik manages to stop. Meanwhile, Gilliam and Salazar are fighting for the Truenox next to the ship, with Salazar wanting to take it to Earth and Gilliam wanting to study it in its natural habitat. Gilliam agrees to leave, and their ship is scratched by a Barphbud. Alisa and her friends hatch a plan to find the truth about the Truenoxen, leaving Alex behind, as he only cares about cyber soccer. They head to Alisa's house, where Erik hacks into the video archives. They discover that the gibberish that the lone Truenox is making are actually parts of words. Salazar leaves the Truenox with Alisa and Gilliam while he goes to tend to a crisis at the zoo he works at. Alisa and her friends figure out the message of the Truenoxen, but Gilliam kidnaps the Truenox and escapes with him, with Alisa and Alex (who happens to save her from falling to her death) in pursuit. Alisa eventually hitches a ride with her father's friend Protofelix, and they follow Gilliam back to Verum. The rest of the kids tell Salazar that the crisis was fake and than Gilliam is evil. On Verum, Protofelix disappears, and Alisa falls into a hollow portion of the ground, where Protofelix is trapped in a cage. Alisa discovers that the Truenoxen are alive, but being probed by Gilliam. Gilliam reveals his plan to harness their prediction powers and rule the Earth, turning it into "Gilliam's World". He probes the last Truenox, and begins the process. Alisa and the Truenox escape, and Gilliam. He tries to murder Alisa, but Alisa's friends, Salazar and Protofelix subdue him and free the Truenoxen. Gilliam tries to murder Marie, but he is stopped and sold to Protofelix. The kids hold a funeral for the "last" Truenox, who seemingly was electrocuted to death during the battle. He turns out to be alive, with the electrocution granting him the power of speech. He agrees to live with Alisa, who names him Duper.
2"Dangerous Illusions"23 November 2013 (2013-11-23)
On the planet Illapis, a man named Anur discovers under the order of the host of Dreams Come True, a kid reality show, that the planet's stones are able to tap into people's subconscious and create illusions of their dreams. Salazar goes to Illapis to study strange occurrences there. Duper has a vision that an Illapis volcano will erupt, and he and Alisa rush to save her dad. The Dreams Come True host uses the visions of a child to create a battle to get people to watch the show. A curious child named Sammy is kidnapped by Anur, but Alisa takes his place unbeknownst to Anur and is taken to Illapis. Salazar lands on Illapis and learns from the sheriff that there isn't any life on the planet, but the battle is a live feed. Anur discovers Alisa, and chases her with the host. After Alisa accidentally breaks the law, Anur manages to kidnap her from the sheriff. Duper escapes with the help of a rocket boot, while Anur tricks Alisa into touching the stones, and she ends up trapped in a perfect hallucination. Alisa's dream ends, and the stones reveal that they are alive, and that people are killing them by creating the illusions. The stones level the island that they are on, trapping Alisa, Anur, and the host on a volcano. Alisa forces Anur and the host to put the stones back together, stopping the volcano. Anur and the host are arrested by the sheriff, but it later turns out that the host escaped.
