Spaceship Nibiru, orbital headquarter of the Strikeforce 1

“I don’t like this” said Ekorre, the tall, blonde alien in charge of the spaceship. “Your freaks play superheroes in Mandelovia, while my men do the dirty work in space”. On the multiple screen in the Command deck, images of many discs bombing the source of the asteroids behind the hidden face of the moon are seen.

“What do you fear, alien?” respond Merlin. “There is no harm. It’s an unmanned station. A relic of the grandeur of the Hoods, when your Annunaki were keeping the strings of the western world. Now Saros, or EN.LIL, like you call him, has just the key to make it function from down there, from his seat at the foot of the throne of Naecken.”

The enormous base is destroyed piece after piece by the laser bolts of the disk fighters.

“I don’t know. It seems so easy.”

“It’s easy, Ekorre. They never though that they would have faced a spaceship. All the plans of Naecken and Saros are falling one after the other. First they tried to blackmail as many nations of Earth as possible into allying with him, but with the menace of spreading the Virus, we have kept them under tight rope. Then, we intercepted the gathering of metahuman criminals, killing many and recruiting some. Now we are destroying the meteor catapult. In a few minutes, Naecken and his allies, the twelve renegade aliens of your race, will be alone down there, in the middle of an iced nothingness… with no means of attacking the planet” explains Jack Merlin.

“So, why not just bombing the damned continent? We’ll wipe the demon out, and those bastards too”.

“You are mad, Ekorre. Bombing Antarctica will make the Ocean level rise about 135 meters. Most of the biggest cities of the world will be destroyed. It’s also your planet, now.”

“My planet this ball of mud? YOU are the mad one, Merlin. When the last of the Annunaki will be executed, I will leave for Nibiru, my homeplanet, with Adalia, my daughter.”

“Your planet was the Nibiru of 40,000 years ago, Ekorre. What will you find there, now? Probably your race is extinct, by now.”

“Well, then me and my daughter will be like… what are the names… your Adam and Eve” said Ekorre, an evil grin spreading on his lips.

Pedro Delgado, the fat kid, began to laugh uncontrollably.

Merlin just shook his head. “We need to know what other things has Naecken at his disposal. We need that D’Goon reveals the coordinates of the fortress. Then I will go there, to negotiate with Saros: if what I find is a would be tyrant without any ace up his sleeve, I will be back and we’ll destroy the place. If I find an army, and power, I’ll value if to make allegiance with Naecken… but Saros and his men will be yours in any case.”

Ekorre smiled, and went to the main window, looking at the stars and searching for the small bright point that was the Nibiru star-system.
