Sorry, haven't been on in a while...

Chapter 6: Impending doom​

The song ended just in time for Bunsen to take the controls, swerve, and narrowly miss a Bozon laser bolt. More laser bolts fired at them. "Shields up, Beaky!" Bunsen ordered his assistant. "Boy, they really want to kill us, don't they?" asked Gonzo. The shields went up just in time for a barrage of Bozon drone fighters. "At 'em, Beaky!" shouted Bunsen. "Meep-meep," said Beaker, and pressed a button, causing the Henson to fire back. "3, 2, 1," Bunsen counted, "now!" With Beaker at the controls, the Henson zoomed through the Bozon ships and down to the planet below.​

***************​

"Things are not going exactly as planned," an aide reported to the Bozon leader, "the one who is called Gonzo escaped to the planet in a surprisingly large spaceship for himself."
"On the contrary," contradicted the Bozon leader, "things are going perfectly. They are all on-planet, except for Giznig and Ganza, who I will deal with myself."
"If he has any of his parent's skill, it might-"
"He doesn't," said the Bozon leader.
"How do you know?"
"This way," said the Bozon leader. He turned on a television set, revealing an old episode of The Muppet Show. At the end of the theme, Gonzo blew his horn, with the usual disasterous results. "This you call the skill of Giznig and Ganza?" asked the Bozon leader.
"Umm-uhh-err-uh-no! I-uh-don't!" said the aide. He knew he was going to recieve the 20th pay cut in as many weeks.​

Chapter 7: The worst is yet to come​

The Henson landed at the Gonzonians' capital city of Oznog. As they exited, they were greeted by Ubergonzo and two guards. "Welcome to our beautiful city," he said, as the Muppets looked around and saw that while the city was beautiful within its invisible forcefield, the landscape outside was desolate and battle-scarred. "What happened?" asked Kermit. "We were blockaded by the Bozons," said Ubergonzo, "I thought you knew that."
"But why would they do this?" Kermit was astonished that the apparent leader of G0n70 would talk so lightly about his planet's horrible condition.
"We don't know either. Obviously there was that grudge they had against us, but why they'd do this..." The Gonzonian leader took out a hankerchief and wiped his oversized, hook-shaped nose. "I'll tell you more when we get to the office. TAXI!" A hovering taxi pulled up. Ubergonzo got in. The Muppets followed.

**************

"So, let me get this straight. They took my parents, leaving you to narrowly escape with me and send me somewhere safe. Now they blockade you, and we're your only hope."
"That pretty much amounts to it."
"Great!" Gonzo was the most excited of the Muppets. Everyone else was just staring while the horrible tale unfolded. For a moment, Ubergonzo's office was silent. Then, Kermit spoke up. "So, what can we do?"
"You can get Gonzo's parents back and destroy the Bozon mothership," said Ubergonzo ironically.
"Great," said Kermit matter-of-factly. "So when do we start?"

**************

"Well, what do you say now? All your machinations have failed. Your Gonzo will perish along with the rest of the planet."
"No, not my Gonzo! You'll never harm my Gonzo!" Ganza knew that this kind of torture was worse than physical harm. At least with physical torture, you would heal.
"Oh, we practically already have." The Bozon leader shut the dore, leaving Giznig and Ganza alone, strapped onto uncomfortable boards. "Don't worry, Ganza," Giznig reassured, "I swear on my life, we won't let the Bozons get him."
"Your life is as good as lost," she grumbled.​

Chapter 9: beginning of the end​

The Henson was bound mothership-ward, escorted by two gonzonian Attack Shuttles. It was silent. Even Animal seemed to understand the intensity of the situation. Bunsen and Beaker had given them Muppet Labs RCR-1 rubber chicken rifles before launch and were staying behind because Bunsen didn't want Beaker to get hurt. (as if...) They had it all planned out. They would sneak in through the emergency airlock, split up into three teams headed by Gonzo, Kermit, and Scooter, and search for:​

A). Gonzo's parents
B). the power core​

They were approaching the Bozon mothership. In a few minutes, they would have to see if their strategy worked. None of them were too excited about that.​

**************​

"What?" the Bozon leader asked, "they are approaching the emergency airlock! You fool! Send all of the troops there!"
"But then who will guard Giznig and Ganza?"
"Who cares! Just do as I say!"
"Ok, fine, Mr. fearless leader! Here goes!"
and the aide pressed the button telling all troops to head to the emergency airlock.​

**************​

The Henson docked at the emergency airlock. On entering, they were greeted by about a thousand Bozon troopers in full armor. "All right!" shouted Fozzie, "feel the power of comedy!" and he unleashed his RCR-1 at the troops. Most of the troops were hit by the flaming rubber chickens, and the few that escaped Fozzie's barrage were no match for the combined firepower of the complete gang. The Muppets split up and started down the, handily, three passageways.​
