[Commando Planet; bridge]

Skull: So the armada has decided to play their hand. Good; this means we're ahead of schedule.

Warp: I can hardly wait to slice more throats.

Skull: Save your bloodlust; you'll need every bit of it against the enemy, which is why I'm giving you this. (shows a hologram of a Frontline BattleMech painted black)

Warp: (chuckles) This is going to be good.

Galaxia: What about me?

Skull: The Megadoomer in the hanger should be fine for you.

(Warp and Galaxia salute before running off; meanwhile, Skull observes the passing stars)

Skull: I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Soon, I will have no more obstacles in my quest to rule the cosmos.

Hornet 1: (enters the room) Commander Skull, hornet 129 has been terminated. The inhibitor has been deactivated.

Skull: So 129 is dead?

Hornet 1: It is suspected that 129 has been freed from its hornet programming.

Skull: Well it doesn't matter now; once the old Irken Armada is destroyed, we'll hunt down any rogue commandos.

Hornet 1: Probability of rogue hornets causing trouble is over 50%.

Skull: If they do aid the armada, then they'll die with them. Now go join the defense fleet.

Hornet 1: I obey. (marches out)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Space; the battlefield]

(the Eliminator and Freedom charge forward, blasting everything that gets in their way; commando destroyers swarm the flagships, but are shot down one by one thanks to the voot cruisers and spittle runners protecting them)

Skrag: No problems here; how long until we launch the boarding crew?

Bertram: (over radio) We need to get closer to the station; if we launch them now, they won't make it.

Jeena: (over radio) Well, the shields won't hold up under so much stress; energy currently at 82% power.

Skrag: Great; that just gives me more carnage. (takes down two battleships by himself) And that's why I was the Air Commander.

Ram: (over radio) Enough with the showboating; concentrate your fire on defending us.

Lard Nar: (over radio) Easy for you to say; this ship is getting pounded every second.

Skrag: (groans) I'm heading in your direction now. How long until the boarding crew is ready?

Bertram: (over radio) They're in the hanger now, but we won't be in range for another ten minutes.

Skoodge: At this rate, we'll be slag in ten minutes!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Commando Planet; command center]

Skull: Battle report.

Hornet 1: (on monitor) Our forces have diminished by 20%.

Skull: Prepare the turbolasers; we can't let them get through.

Hornet 1: (on monitor) We obey.

Skull: (switches the monitor off) This is not going as planned.

Hornet 2: Analysis of opponent's strategy is now complete and there is a danger. Shall we keep a ship in reserve?

Skull: Send out the ring cutters; they should buy us some time.

Hornet 2: I obey. (marches off)

Skull: (activates radio) Warp, are you and Galaxia ready?

Warp: (over radio) Ready and waiting, sir.

Skull: Excellent; I suspect they will try to infiltrate Commando Planet.

Warp: (over radio) You sure about that?

Skull: Positive.

Warp: (over radio) Okay then, over and out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[battleground; Eliminator]

Bertram: Status report.

Ram: Shields are now down to 65%.

Bertram: (groans) Then we have no choice; launch the boarding ship!!

Xorg: But sir, we're not close enough. They won't be able to make it back of something goes wrong.

Bertram: What other choice to we have? (Ram raises his hand) Other than retreating? (Ram puts his hand down)

Xorg: But what if they can't return?

Bertram: They'll have to think on their feet then. (coughs)

Ram: Very well then. (activates radio) Launch boarding craft; it's now of never.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[outside the Eliminator]

(a smaller craft speeds away from the giant flagship; protecting it are two voot cruisers piloted by SIR units)

Ven: (in the cockpit) It's not going to be an easy trip, so get ready for anything.

Krack: Activating balance servos.

(the ship flies through the battlefield, dodging several laser blasts along the way; finally, a shot damages the ship and it begins to lose altitude)

Ven: Damage taken to the power generator; get ready to crash!

(the ship manages to fly into a hanger, skittering to a stop in front of a Massive-like flagship; the crew disembarks looking a little shaken, but not hurt)

Mace: We'll have to get a new ship when we escape.

Klaxx: Shouldn't be too hard to find one; this hanger is gigantic!!

(the hanger is shown to be at least ten stories tall, with several destroyers hanging from the ceiling)

Dib: How do they get this guys flying without crashing?

Mace: They're lowered to the ground before takeoff. I would think you of all organisms would know that.

Ven: Enough talk; we have a mission to accomplish.

Krack: Enemy mech units approaching at high speed.

(Warp and Galaxia burst into the hanger driving their battle machines)

Warp: Prepare to be extinguished!!

Ven: Scatter!!

(the group disperses while the two commandos fire missiles all over the room, trying to kill them; in under a minute, a large amount of debris is lying on the floor)

Krack: Activating long range mode. (fires two missiles that hit Galaxia's power cell)

Megadoomer computer: Warning; damage critical. Self-destruct in twenty seconds.

Galaxia: Damn it; looks like I'll have to do this on foot. (jumps out and engages in battle with Ven and Dib just as the Megadoomer explodes)

(Krack fires a missile that destroys one of the legs for Warp's machine, causing it to tumble over and explode; Warp manages to escape while the sentries aiding him are mowed down by Mace and Klaxx)

Warp: You'll pay for that!! (begins dueling with Krack, only to be cut off by Ven) Stay out of this; I have a robot to destroy.

Ven: (fires a shot that barely misses the target) Why waste your time working for Skull?

Warp: Fool; I am not loyal to Skull. (dodges two more shots) I intend to delete him and take my rightful place as leader. Then I will crush you all one by one.

Mace: (hits Warp from behind) You betray Skull just to continue his work?

Warp: (knocks Mace down) Loyalty means nothing to me; all I care about is ending up on top. Every sentient commando general wants to be the king; they only fake loyalty until a chance arrives.

Klaxx: (hits Warp in the shoulder) Then what do you make of Kaine then?

Warp: (blasts Klaxx down) He was too stupid to rule and he knew it. That's why he brought Skull back. There is no such thing as loyalty.

Ven: (blasts Warp against a voot cruiser) Then you're just like Zim was; a defective who only cared about himself.

Warp: (groans as he stands) It's every sentient being for themselves in the universe; nothing can change that.

Ven: Then you leave me no choice. (fires a bizarre weapon that doesn't seem to do anything to Warp when it hits him)

Warp: Was that supposed to kill me? (laughs) You're an idiot.

Ven: Look at your hand.

(Warp looks at his hand and sees that it's melting; screaming in rage, Warp turns into an oily black substance that melts into a puddle, leaving only a mangled skeleton)

Mace: What was that thing?

Ven: It's a little something that I built earlier; it causes one's body to degenerate at an accelerated rate. Fortunately it only had one shot. (looks around) Where's Zim?

Klaxx: He must have run ahead to find Skull.

Ven: Go after him; something tells me he'll need help.

(Mace and Klaxx run in the direction of where Zim went; meanwhile, Dib and Galaxia continue to fight until the latter collapses)

Dib: Come on; fight it.

Galaxia: (coughs) W-what?

Dib: Tenn, I know you hear me.

Galaxia: (blasts Dib in the stomach) There is no Tenn, only Galaxia.

Dib: (tries to get up, but can't) You're lying; fight the programming.

Galaxia: That won't help you even if it could; Tenn has been deleted from my data. There is only Galaxia now. (grabs Dib by the throat) Now to finish you off once and for all!!

Dib: (manages to kick Galaxia off him) I don't believe you. I know there's good in you.

Galaxia: (stabs Dib in the shoulder) I killed Tenn; she no longer exists. (slashes Dib on the stomach) You're an incompetent big-headed imbecile and that's all you'll ever be.

Dib: (starts fighting back tears) My head's not big, and Tenn's still alive.

Galaxia: No she's not; I killed her!! I am all that is left!! (grabs Dib by the throat) Now die as she did. (begins choking him)

(As he begins to pass out, Dib sees a button on her inhibitor marked "self-destruct; with tears beginning to fall, he pushes the button; within three seconds, Galaxia's inhibitor explodes, leaving her bleeding on the floor)

Dib: (breathing heavily) You....you left me no choice.

(Dib falls to his knees and begins crying; Ven goes over and places a hand on the human's shoulder)

Ven: I'm sorry.

Dib: No. (sniffs) She was right; Tenn's gone.

Krack: Detecting several injuries on both of you; retreat heavily suggested.

Ven: (helps Dib to his feet) You're right; we need to get out of here now.

Dib: But what about the others?

Ven: (leads the other two into a spittle runner) They'll have to manage alone.

(the ship takes off and flies back to the Eliminator)
With this chapter and the deaths of Warp and Galaxia, the countdown to the destruction of Skull's forces on the horizon. Or is it?

The only way to know for sure is to wait and see what the next part will bring.

Note: found out that I posted part 1 twice; corrected the error
