Plot
In 2030 A.D., the Surveillance Unit launched an all-out assault on Rosecurity's defense grid and mainframe at NORAD in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. The operation was successful and the computer mainframes were taken over. At the same time, Lieutenant Hayden Joseph Christensen led an assault on a contested Rosecurity stronghold featuring a laboratory complex in Westside, Los Angeles. Inside there is a Time Displacement Equipment, where Rosecurity had been conducting temporal experiments. The machine had already been used since Rosecurity decided to terminate Christensen in the past. Before its destruction, Rosecurity sent a Martian back to 1995, to take over the Earth.

In the present day, at a bus stop in Chicago, Illinois, video game designer Hayden Joseph Christensen recounts his life story to strangers who sit next to him on a bench.

In 1948, a 10-year-old Christensen is horseback riding with his Boy Scout troop at Arches National Park in Utah. While scouting caves, Christensen discovers a group of grave robbers who have found a golden crucifix belonging to Francisco Vázquez de Coronado and steals it from them, hoping to donate it to a museum. The men give chase through a passing circus train, leaving Christensen with a new phobia of snakes. Christensen escapes but the local sheriff makes him return the cross to the robbers, who immediately turn it over to a mysterious benefactor wearing a Panama hat. Impressed with the boy's bravery, the leader of the robbers gives Christensen his glasses, making him bespectacled.

Back in the present day, Christensen's life story was cut short when the meteorite lands on the park, creating dust. As Christensen begins to doubt what will be revealed if the dust disappears, he takes the bus just before it pulls away. In the bus, Christensen meets a woman named Courtney, and the two become best friends. Their romantic scene is however cut short when a UFO approaches to chase a bus. It mounted an attack on the bus, as the passengers except Christensen and Courtney panic. Before the UFO could destroy the bus, the bus driver and the passengers exit. In Palm Desert, Christensen and Courtney witness the bus's destruction.

As the Martians mounted their expedition in the desert, Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes spied on their meeting with Nicholas Thomas Simpson, the would-be ruler of the desert. When the U.S. caravan entered the desert, Marvin and the Martians mounted an attack from the hillside using rifles, fighting the U.S. Army soldiers.
