The SkyPirates are still stealing energy from all corners of the
Earth...At the same time construction is still underway on the
final stages of the new Iron Vulture pirate ship. We see Karnage
and Hook discussing plans of returning home with the stolen
energy.

HOOK
Iron Vulture nearly complete.

DON KARNAGE
And the energon cubes?

HOOK
1-thousand, astro-liters more required.

DON KARNAGE
We need one more source of energy yes-no?

HOOK
The ruby crystals?

DON KARNAGE
Right. They are the richest source of energy on the face of the
Earth. I can almost see those ruby crystals now.

Just then, a whirring-humming noise distracts both captains who
turn towards the source.

DON KARNAGE
What was that? <Puzzled, curious look>

It is Ninjara, test-firing a laser cannon at some nearby
targets. Unfortunately the weapon is draining half the cubes of
their energy. Karnage reacts in shock & anger.

DON KARNAGE
Ninjara! What in the universe are you doing?

NINJARA
Testing the energon cubes, they work!

DON KARNAGE
Of course they work no? Did you think they would not.

NINJARA
You didn't know, you never tested them. I proved it.

DON KARNAGE
You only proved your lack of mentality. Now we need two strikes,
<Indicates the half-empty stacks> before we'll have enough
energy to return to Alpha Prime!

NINJARA
What's the difference? There's plenty here for us.

DON KARNAGE
The difference is time you fool. You set us back!

Enraged, he kicks over the cannon. He is about to lash out at
his 1st Mate when Hook distracts him.

HOOK
Rocket fuel is another highly concentrated form of energy.

Not far away, we see Timmothy & Jenny having a picnic break
not far away from the colony. With them is Private Pain in his
disquise of a Land Rover Defender. He has deployed his radar
antenna dish to eavesdrop on enemy transmission. He accidentally
picks up on the conversation between Ninjara and Karnage.

DON KARNAGE
Despite your stupidity vixen, our mission will succeed. First,
we strike the crystal mines yes-no? And then, we'll locate the
rocket fuel we need.

JENNY BRISBY
That's what we've been waiting to hear. Let's radio Chip.

TIMMOTHY BRISBY
Right, he'll know what to do.

At the same time, Ninjara tries holding back her temper in
trying to replace Don as new leader of the clan.

NINJARA
Don't push me captain, my desire for power is as great as
yours!

DON KARNAGE
Power flows to the one who knows how to use it. Desire alone is
not enough.

NINJARA
I make all things possible, I can wait.

DON KARNAGE
Assemble the strike force. <To his wife>

Later Scarlet reports that all the pirates are ready to move out
and steal the crystals.

SCARLET KARNAGE
Strike force assembled honey.

DON KARNAGE
Scramble! <The goons takeoff> To the crystal mines.
<Away they fly>

Meanwhile Jenny and Timmy drive back to the colony onboard
Private Pain...Little do they know, they are about to be
attacked.

JENNY BRISBY
You know something? I like being a spy alot better.

TIMMOTHY BRISBY
Look Jen, no hands. <Takes hands off steering wheel>

PRIVATE PAIN
Ha-ha, big deal. I'm driving.

JENNY BRISBY <Looks out window> Uh-oh, I think we got
company!

Diving down from the sky above come the Copy Cats. Fat Cat, Cool
Kitty and She-Lion in their jet-forms begin firing at the Land
Rover. The truck starts swerving to avoid being hit.

TIMMOTHY BRISBY
Can't you go any faster Pain?

PRIVATE PAIN
Sorry, this is it. I'm not built for speed.

JENNY BRISBY
We're going to need a big hand then.

PRIVATE PAIN
Radio home-base.

Jenny grabs the CB-mic and yells into it.

JENNY BRISBY
Calling Elite headquarters. We're being attacked by SkyPirates.
Send help!

TIMMOTHY BRISBY
And hurry! <He too shouts into the mic>

Pain keeps weaving back and forth, making it impossible for the
enemy planes to score direct hits on him.

PRIVATE PAIN
I may not be fast, but I'm tough.

Just when all seems lost, two vehicles come racing up towards
them at top speed.

PRIVATE PAIN
It's Duke Nukem.

JENNY BRISBY
And Jack-2!

The vigilante and robo-soldier drive past, U-Turn and race back
to cover their friend. It is then that She-Lion nails Duke in the
bodypaint-frame, making him angry!

DUKE NUKEM
Hey! That's a new paint-job. Eat s***. <He returns
fire>

JENNY BRISBY
Man that's hot!

TIMMOTHY BRISBY
I know the paint is hot, but this is ridculous.

The 3 jets fly overhead, veer off and dissapear into the
horizon...

SHE-LION
I'm heading in for repairs.

COOL KITTY
Me too man.

FAT CAT
Wait for me! <The 3 Copy Cats escape>

PRIVATE PAIN
Thanks for your help brothers.

DUKE NUKEM <Still hot>
What about my paint?!

JACK-
DON'T WORRY, NOBODY WILL NOTICE. JUST MAKE TURNS,
HEHEHEHEHEHEH...

Much later, inside the crystal mines...The pirates are digging
out the crystals, load into mine-cars and transport to be
converted into glowing red energon cubes.

SCARLET KARNAGE
Let's go, hurry up. Get this car loaded. Faster!

In another chamber, Karnage and Hook gaze in awe at their good
luck.

DON KARNAGE
Ahh, this place is magnificent. Unbelieveable yes-no?

HOOK
Enough here to power the entire planet of Alpha Prime?

DON KARNAGE
Exactly. I will build the ultimate weapon, to defeat the
Commandos. To control the planet, to conquer the universe!
Heheheheahahahahahaha! <He throws crystals into the air as he
laughs>

Outside the mouth of the tunnel, the Elite are about to make
their move inside the mine to stop their enemy again.

CHIP HAZARD
There they are. <Points to the entrance>

BUTCH MEATHOOK
Karnage and his family clan must be inside the mine.

BAYMAN
Let's blast their tail-rudders out of there.

NICK NITRO
We got just the trick to do it with too. <Holds up pipe
bomb> There's enough explosives in here to bury them
forever!

CHIP HAZARD
Not so fast Nitro. We know they are in there, but we don't know
where.

BRUTUS <Volunteers>
I'll go. I've worked these mines, I know my way around.

NINA WILLIAMS
And since I'm the best asassin, I have the best chance of
getting through. I'll stick that bomb under their noses. <She
morphs into Bigfoot Monster Truck> Hop in Brutus.

As the rat brother of Justin climbs inside, Nitro hands him the
bomb, pointing out the LCD monitor.

NICK NITRO
Once you've set this timer here, you got 60 minutes. Remember
once it's set, that's it. No time to defuse or deactivate, no
turning back.

BRUTUS
I understand.

CHIP HAZARD
If there's any problems, get out of there. We'll find another
way.

BRUTUS
There won't be any problems Major. This one's for Alpha Prime
and Earth. Let's go Nina!

Both friends drive into the mine's entrance and disappear
inside. Now what? Only time will tell
