A/N: And we are back, ladies and germs, with another chapter of Injustice Syndicate: The Mis-Ed-Ventures! That's right, new chapter this month. I hope that you all enjoy it. Let's not waste any more time and just get right into it, shall we?

Disclaimer: I still don't own Ed, Edd n' Eddy, DC, or Marvel!


Previously on Injustice Syndicate…


Forming a giant spatula construct, Ed yelled, "PREPARE TO BE TERMINATED, SKRULL SCUM!"

And with a raging war cry, Ed flew towards the transport ship like an angry red comet!

Bleez couldn't stop herself from grinning diabolically.

"That's the spirit, Lumpy! Let's get these bastards!" she said.

And she too flew in to join in the fight.

Skallox just scoffed and said, "So much for the element of surprise."

And so, no longer having the element of surprise, the other Red Lanterns joined the fight as well. It was sure to be a bloody one, that's for sure.


Now…


As the newest slave transport was making its way to the mothership, two Skrull were sitting in the cockpit. One of them wore dark red armor plating, and the other wore armor that was a sort of orangey-peach… well, truthfully, it looked more like somebody threw up and decided to call it a color. They were just contemplating how much they could get for these new slaves, but there was also something else on their minds. For the sake of the plot, let's call them Grif and Simmons.

"Hey." Simmons said.

"Yeah?" Grif replied.

"Do you ever wonder why we're here?" Simmons asked.

Grif sighed as he put the ship to idle in the planet's upper atmosphere.

"Now, that is a good question. I mean, why ARE we here? Are we really just a byproduct of some sort of random cosmic phenomenon, or is there really a God? With all the plans and stuff?" he contemplated.

Simmons turned to look at his partner as if he'd just grown a second head.

"I dunno, man, but it keeps me up at night." Grif said.

"I mean, 'why are we here?'. At this stupid planet. Lightyears away from home just to enslave a random species and sell their kin on the galactic black market." Simmons elaborated.

"Oh. Uh, yeah, that too…" Grif said.

An awkward silence reigned in the cockpit as the two tried to forget their prior conversation.

"Sooo… can you believe how easy it was for us to infiltrate this planet and basically take over?" Grif asked.

"Oh, yeah, I mean, it was so easy that a baby could have done it!" Simmons agreed. "I mean, we didn't even run into any real resistance. All they did was run around screaming like the bunch of glorified headless chickens that they are."

"I mean, I get it. These guys are a peaceful race that keeps to themselves and prefers to avoid conflict. But Jesus H. Christ almighty, they should have had at least SOME sort of military for emergencies! I mean, how incompetent can you be if you leave your whole race defenseless against invading forces?" Grif complained. "I mean, this was just too easy!"

"Are you seriously complaining about an easy victory?" Simmons asked. "This was honestly the best outcome we could have had. No loss of troops, no damaged ships, no wasted resources, and a whole bunch of slaves to sell on the Galactic Black Market."

Grif just scoffed and said, "Bullshit, you're just saying that because you're scared of pain."

The two would have continued arguing, but they were forced to brace themselves as their ship began to shake and shudder as if it were going through an earthquake. Even though they're in the sky.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell was that?" Grif asked as the shaking stopped.

"I don't know, Grif. But whatever it was, it seems to have stopped now." Simmons replied as the ship stopped shaking.

But they were soon frozen with fear as they heard blaster fire, yelling, and screaming. A whole lot of screaming. And it was coming from the soldiers that were on their shuttle to act as guards for their prisoners! From the sounds of it, they were fighting an intruder and they were losing. Badly, from what it sounded like. Looking at each other for just a brief moment, the two Skrull booked it to the wall, and each grabbed a laser pistol before taking aim at the door.

Their hands were shaking as everything went silent. They knew that the beast hadn't left. The Skrull used to be the hunters, but now… they have become the prey! And the predator that was now hunting them was waiting outside that door for them to lower their guards.

Suddenly, the door was ripped off its hinges and all that could be heard as a red blur rushed in was two Skrull screaming in absolute agony along with the sounds of blunt constructs making harsh contact with flesh!

On the outside, Bleez was escorting the freed prisoners back down to their home planet as Skallox and the others went to town on the Skrull troops and their ships, freeing all of the prisoners. As she looked back to the shuttle that Ed had invaded, she couldn't help but wince as they heard the sounds of agony. She really didn't want to be on the receiving end of Ed's rage after the Ed-Zilla fiasco on Ysmault.

From what she heard from Atrocitus, the aftermath was actually quite horrifying.

That's when she heard a battle cry accompanied by a shriek of "SNEAK ATTAAAAACK!"... and promptly created a brick wall that the attacking Skrull slammed into with so much force, it cartoonishly left a dent in the shape of his body before Bleez made it disappear.

"You know, shouting the phrase 'sneak attack' defeats the whole purpose of it." she said as the Skrull fell over unconscious.

Bleez created another shield in order to block the incoming laser blasts from the main ship as the prisoners quickly flew back down to their planet. She immediately knew that this mission…

Just got a whole lot harder.


***To Be Continued…***


Ending A/N: Yeah, it's a very short chapter this time. I know, I know, I made y'all wait for so long only to bring you a pathetically short chapter! I am sorry! But I've been having trouble thinking of dialogue for the chapters of this story, especially since I'm not the best at writing fight scenes. I really tried to make this chapter longer for you all, especially due to the lengths that you have to wait between updates, but I just couldn't think of anything! I wracked my brain, and I just couldn't think of anything! I think that what I need to do is take a break from this story and just get my head on straight in regards to this story in particular. But until next update, I'll see you next time. Bye!
