Bastich In Atmos (Storm Hawks X DC Comics)

Chapter Two - Atmos

After accepting the contract from M, Lobo rode his Spacehog all the way to Atmos. As he enters Atmos's atmosphere, Lobo lands his space hog in what appeared to be an abandoned fort. Lobo looks around as he cracks open a beer and chugs it. 

Lobo: Now if I were a greedy little Bastich, where the fuck would I hide? 

Lobo begins looking around the fort for any signs of Larfleeze. During his search, a squadron of Talons begins swarming the fort and surround Lobo. Lobo is unfazed as he lights up a cigar. 

Talon Commander: Stop right there!

As the Talons surround Lobo, they aim their Crystal Pikes at the Czarnian bounty hunter, causing him to chuckle. 

Lobo: I'm gonna assume you're the local shitbirds who run this shithole of a planet. 

Talon Commander: State your business! Why are in Cyclonian territory?

Lobo: I'm on a job. I'm looking for someone. He's a gangly little Bastich with a giant Orange Lantern. You fellas wouldn't happen to know where I could find him, would you?

Talon Commander: In the name of Master Cyclonis of the Cyclonian Empire, you're under arrest for trespassing on our land!

As the Talon Commander says this, the Talons close in on Lobo with their weapons trained on him. Lobo remains unfazed. 

Lobo: You fellas sure you want to ride this train? Cause if you're gonna start some shit, I'm gonna finish it and it won't be pretty. 

Talon Commander: Enough of this! Arrest him!

As the Talons moved to arrest Lobo, Lobo pulls out his shotgun and blows a hole in the Talon Commander's chest. The commander looks upon the gapping hole in his chest in shock before dying from his wounds. The brutal killing of their commander shocked the Talons as Lobo readies his chain hook. 

Lobo: KILLRENDDESTROYFRAG!

Without hesitation, the Talons began attacking Lobo with the intention of killing him. Lobo then proceeds to brutally murder the Talons attacking him. The Talons stood no chance against Lobo. After a brief and bloody fight, all but one of the Talons were brutally murdered by Lobo. The last Talon attempts to run away, but Lobo shoots out his legs with his shotgun. The Talon screams in pain as he attempts to crawl away. Lobo walks towards the wounded Talon and begins to question him. 

Lobo: Listen here, bastich. I'm gonna ask you one more time. Where can I find Ole Larfleeze? 

The Talon was unable to speak as he whimpered in fear of the Czarnian. Lobo sighs in frustration. 

Lobo: I don't have time for this shit. Tell me where I find that little Bastich  so I can get the fuck off this planet.

As Lobo continued to interrogate the Talon, he was getting nowhere. Without warning, Lobo finishes off the Talon by stomping his head in. Once the Talon was dead, Lobo looked around the bloodshed he just created. 

Lobo: Told ya it wasn't gonna be pretty. 

Suddenly, Lobo hears beeping nearby. He follows the sound of the beeping which leads him to the body of the Talon Commander. Lobo searches the body and finds the holocommunicator. Lobo answers it, showing a holoprojection of Dark Ace. 

Dark Ace(Holoprojection): Commander, what is you.....wait a minute. Who is this?!

Lobo: Your uh....commander ain't taking any calls at this time. He currently has a fist sized hole in his chest. As for the rest, they've all been fragged by yours truly. 

Dark Ace(Holoprojection): I don't know who you are, but you've made a serious mistake!

Lobo: You know who you're talking to? You're talking to the Main Man! Now if you knew what's good for you, you'll point me in the direction of Larfleeze. 

Dark Ace(Holoprojection): You kill my men and you have the gall to give me orders? You're insane!

Lobo: That's how you want to roll?  Fine by me. I'll be paying you and this...Cyclonis broad a little visit. 

Lobo then crushes the communicator with his hand and tosses it to ground. In that moment, he found a possible lead to Larfleeze. Meanwhile in the skies of Atmos, the Storm Hawks were making their way the Terra after hearing word of a Talon patrol. 

Aerrow: Stay sharp guys! Dark Ace could be with them.

Finn: Those Talons are toast when we get our hands on them! 

Piper: Don't get cocky, Finn. We don't know how many we're dealing with. 

As the Condor began to approach Terra Neverlandis, Stork noticed something. He used the Condor's periscope to get a closer look. He soon sees the bodies of the Talons scattered across Terra Neverlandis. 

Stork: It looks like someone else got to the Talons. 

Stork soon shows the rest of the Storm Hawks the carnage. They were shocked by what they had seen. 

Junko: What happened?

Piper: Someone....someone killed those Talons. 

Finn: Whoever did this must've had serious firepower!

Stork soon spots Lobo prepping his Spacehog while smoking a cigar. He points Lobo out to the Storm Hawks and they become suspicious. They soon decided to question Lobo about what had happened. Meanwhile, Lobo was fixing up his Spacehog while blasting Heavy Metal music. When he hears whirring nearby, Lobo turns down the music and looks to the sky to see several Skimmers heading his way. 

Lobo: Heh. Right on fraggin cue. 

In that moment, Lobo prepared himself for yet another fight as the Storm Hawks rode their Skimmers to confront him about the murder of the Talons.
