Somewhere in Italy in 1944, The Sarge walks over to The Medic and asks him how his feet are doing. The Radioman tries to get a hold of "Scotty One", but can't reach them. He tells The Sarge that he can't reach anyone and is getting interference. The Sarge asks to see The Radioman's compass and notices the needle on his compass is also spinning around. Dolan walks over to The Sarge and introduces himself. The Sarge tells The Lieutenant that he doesn't think they can wait for any of the others squads to arrive. The Lieutenant disagrees and walks away as he hears a noise, which he thinks are the other squads. The Lieutenant runs towards the sound and is shot dead. A platoon of Nazi soldiers crests a hill and starts shooting at the squad of American soldiers. The Medic is wounded and then shot and killed after pointing out his Red Cross arm band. While running to the woods with Joey, Mittens and Dolan, The Radioman is shot in the back and killed. The Sarge then circles around the Nazis and kills them. As he is walking towards the others, he appears to be shot, but miraculously survives and kills the Nazi who shot him. Joey tells The Sarge he thought he was surely dead and when Dolan brings up the myth of The Sarge's invincibility, The Sarge says the myth is fake. They are suddenly attacked by a mortar group and The Alien uses a device to vaporize a large tree branch that is about to fall on them. They take shelter in a building for the night and while Joey is on watch, he walks back into the shelter and puts his Fantastic Fiction magazine in the campfire. In the morning, Joey is playing an imaginary baseball game with baseball cards when The Sarge walks up and The Sarge gets upset when he finds out Mittens and Dolan left to hunt a deer. Joey goes to look over a hill and sees a crashed alien spacecraft. Joey and The Sarge enter the spacecraft and make their way to the cockpit as Nazi soldiers surround the spacecraft. They find the remains of The Alien's co-pilot. The Sarge uses the spaceship's periscope and sees they are surrounded by Nazis. Joey finds an escape hatch from the cockpit and he and The Sarge sneak out of the spaceship. As S.S. Corporal and his squad are searching the spaceship, The Sarge has Joey drop a grenade into it, killing them. The Sarge and Joey then follow tracks to an S.S. camp. Joey, Mittens and Dolan get into the truck holding The Alien and driven by The Sarge and they escape from the S.S. camp and also kill S.S. SGT. Zeller. A nazi fires a rocket at the vehicle, but The Alien uses a device to create a force field and Joey thanks The Alien. The Sarge parks the truck and has Mittens disable it. They find a tomb and hide inside of it for the night. The Sarge tells Dolan to take a walk with him and asks him what agency sent him, but Dolan tells him he was sent to to do a story about him, because the rumors that he can't die. The next morning they discover The Alien missing and head towards the crashed rocket ship. They arrive and find another spaceship landed. The Zone Trooper Captain, The Alien and three more Zone Troopers walk towards the spaceship. Joey and Mittens run up the Zone Trooper Captain and introduce themselves and he uses a device to translate their words. Suddenly a Nazi tank enters the clearing and as Joey goes to help The Alien, the tank fires a round and Joey is hit. The Alien then uses a device to evaporate the tank. The Sarge runs to Joey and before dying, Joey asks Dolan to write about their story. They bury Joey and Mittens takes Joey's helmet. Dolan tells The Sarge that a Nazi platoon is heading in their direction. The Sarge asks the Zone Trooper Captain for help, but he tells him they will not help them. The Sarge, Mittens and Dolan ambush the Nazis, but they run out of ammunition. The Sarge holds up a white flag and asks to surrender to Col. Manheim. Manheim offers to allow The Sarge and his men back to Allied lines if The Sarge takes the Nazis to the aliens and The Sarge agrees. As they are about to shake hands, The Sarge shoves a grenade into Manheim's jacket. The grenade explodes killing Manheim and The Sarge falls to the ground. Later as Mittens and Dolan are talking about their experiences, a person appears and he reveals himself to be The Sarge, alive and well.
