"Artorus McNealand." A voice remarked behind him.

The marine whirled around and turned to see a strange charred and blackened figure standing before him, like something out of a bad dream.

"You!" Artorus hissed as she rushed over to where his enemy stood.

The blackened skin of Abel's face morphed into a chilling smile. "You didn't think I could be killed that easily, did you?"

"One can only hope." Artorus remarked as he pulled out his gun and aimed it at the 'man'.

Abel only smiled at the action. "How typical of you to point a gun- just like the soldier you are."

"W-what are you?" Artorus asked uneasily.

Abel smiled and took a bow. "I am," he paused. "the latest in artificial life-form science."

"You're an android." Artorus replied, aiming the Desert Eagle right between the creature's eyes. "Still, even an automaton shouldn't have survived what you did."

"Oh, you mean that nasty fall while I was on fire?" He asked mockingly. "I'm far too advanced to die like that."

"I think it's time we find out just what you can survive." Artorus remarked.

Abel pulled out a gun and tried to point it at him, but Artorus fired his Desert Eagle and blew off his arm in a flash of sparks.

The charred artificial limb flew across the floor and Abel recoiled back.

"It's time I finished you once and for all!" Artorus exclaimed. Abel just smiled in return.

Artorus pulled the trigger.

!BANG!

.o.o.o.

In the dark blackness of space, the massive Battle Freighter flickered to automated life as it moved through its path in Geo-stationary orbit around the small planet.

.o.o.o.

"What?" Artorus asked as he fell to the ground. He looked down at his side and saw he was bleeding. He then looked over to see Abel's severed arm holding its gun- the barrel was smoking.

"He wanted me to shoot his arm off!" Artorus thought. "Damn!"

"My model comes with a special feature that allows us to control the sections of our bodies through special transmitter-receivers." He remarked and pulled out a 2nd gun and aimed it at Artorus. "I'm going to enjoy killing you most of all, my annoying little beast."

"A true tactician knows when to sacrifice to achieve his goal; that is what makes me different from a grunt like you!" He finished as he aimed the pistol right at Artorus' head.

Artorus pulled out his other gun, but Abel shot it out of his hand. "Ahaha, you still have a bit of fight left in you? How pointless!"

Artorus looked up at him. "You won't succeed!"

Abel frowned. "I'd had enough of your prattling tongue- you infuriating optimism and hope is hopelessly obstinate. . . PATHETIC!" He exclaimed. "You will die, and this will all be over."

He prepared to fire, when a massive burst of super-heated energy passed through his torso. Abel exploded into two halves. The legs of the lower half buckled and fell forward and the upper half hit the ground and exploded into pieces.

Artorus gasped as he watched the remains of the android smolder.

Jackson watched from the top of the APC. "Rail-Gun, bitch!" He yelled and through his arms up. He then hopped down and he and Rita got a hold of Artorus and helped him into the APC. Luckily, like the others, the bullet had passed strait through him.

The APC began to slowly advance towards the massive exit of the cargo bay when the blast doors shattered. A massive elongated head emerged from behind the broken barriers.

Rita hadn't finished treating Artorus' wound when he looked up and saw the creature appear.

"Oh my god." He exclaimed as he saw it.
