As Kang flew into a rage, a fleet of enormous insect-like spaceships emerged from the Insect Planet and headed straight for his ship.
Beams of laser fire followed.
Beep, beep, beep...
Red emergency lights flashed aboard the ship, and alarms sounded.

"Don't kill me!"
"We serve the Living Tribunal!"
But no matter how they
