"The Spy From Outer Space" Part II

On a planet, in a far-away solar system, Superboy and his super-pet Krypto have come to halt an impending invasion of Earth. A strange, unknown element in the atmosphere has taken superboy's powers way, but has not affected Krypto.

Captured, and powerless, Superboy can't do anything while the would-be-invaders prepare their attack on Earth.

As the invading fleet leaves the planet, it temporarily blocks the rays of the red sun, and Superboy realizes that this is his way out.

Superboy commands Krypto to find something to cover the dome that imprisons him, thus blocking the red sun.

Krypto steals a giant drum of paint and pours it on the dome. This completely covers the harmful rays of the red sun, and Superboy's powers return.

The boy of steel uses his super-strength to free himself and knock down his captors.

Protected by the painted dome, Superboy and Krypto fly away from the planet and its red sun.

Meanwhile on Earth, the invaders have arrived. The first ship incinerates a forest using the giant magnifying glass it carries onboard.

Superboy and Krypto make it just in time to stop the fleet.

The boy of steel destroys the magnifying glass and using his super-breath, puts down the fires.

A second ship launches a device that turns the sea waters into a maelstrom, but Superboy dives into the deeps, and throws a giant rock at the machine and destroys it.

A third ship fires powerful rays that cause gravitational anomalies and make everything fly away. Superboy catches all the flying objects and brings them back to the ground.

Tired of all the attacks by the fleet, Superboy flies to space and fights back. Overwhelmed by the boy of steel's astonishing powers, the invaders finally retreat.

Back in Smallville, Superboy and some citizens watch as the last of the ships leave Earth, and hope that they never return. Superboy wonders, however... can they ever be sure?

THE END!

Superboy
in
"The Spy From Outer Space" Part I

In Smallville, while waiting around for Superboy, Krypto comes across a being from another world, who provokes a volcanic eruption using a strange device.

Immediately, the super dog looks for his master, who is attending school in his secret identity, young Clark Kent.

Clark realizes that Krypto is trying to warn him of a menace, and quickly changes into Superboy. Both take off flying above Smallville.

Upon arriving in the mountains, Superboy sees molten rock erupting from a hill. The boy of steel and his dog start digging a ditch around the volcano to contain the lava.

Moments later, the otherworldly creature uses another device to create a catastrophic thunderstorm on the countryside. Superboy becomes a lightning rod to prevent further destruction, while Krypto creates a vortex at super-speed to counteract the fury of the storm.

It is clear now to Superboy that someone is intentionally causing these events. Krypto takes his master to the extraterrestrial being creating all the havok.

When confronted by the boy of steel, the alien jets off, and using a third device, creates a destructive tornado. Then uses a ray gun to attack his pursuers.

Superboy's invulnerability protects him from the ray gun, and is able to capture the hostile visitor from outer space.

Once at the Police Station, Superboy and the police chief question the extraterrestrial, who admits being a spy from another solar system. Then, the creature teleports away to report back to his people.

Superboy and Krypto fly off-planet at the speed of light, until they arrive in another solar system. Suddenly, Superboy starts feeling weak, and to his surprise, completely loses all his powers.

The soon-to-be invaders capture Superboy. Krypto, who has not lost his powers is kept at bay under the menace that his master will be hurt if he tries something.

Superboy is tied up to a pole, and incarcerated under a dome. The hostiles leave their planet and head to Earth in order to invade. What is going to happen?
