It was harder than they thought. To fight against one of their own. But they didn't have any choice. Cornea was tearing the galaxy apart. Every planet he gained was a planet they lost. A planet used against them.
It got harder for the remaining Eyesores after every battle, but the Commander kept it together. Every fight he was in, the army won.
They had too...

"Foiled again!" The angry voice came from Cornea. His Lieutenant approached nervously.
"Sir..."
"Silence! What did we say about interrupting me?"Lieutenant Grey took an involuntary step back.
"Answer me Grey!"
"To... not to?"
"Yes." The villain breathed, malice dripping from every letter. "And what did you do?"
"Interrupt you."
"Well, what is it?! Come on, I haven't got all day!!""It appears the secret to the enemies success is your father, Sir." He began.
"Yes. I agree. He has been a thorn in my side for far too long. And he is NOT my father."
"Of course sir."
"Good thing I have an inside eye."
"What do you mean, Sir?" The officer was genuinely stumped.
Cornea tapped the side of his head. "All in good time..."———
"Alright men. We need to decide on the best course of action." Began the Commander. "Any ideas?"
Those in the room looked deep in thought. They concentrated deeply.
Unfortunately, the concentration was broken by Retina bursting into the boardroom.
"Dad! Cornea is here!"
Peepers sighed and stood up. "Looks like forming a plan is gonna have to wait."
Father and son ran toward the bridge. They whooshed past Wander and Sylvia, who were dealing with their four month old son.
Eyela and Iris had joined them on the way, as had Hater and Dominator.
The group of six skidded to a halt in front of the villain and his second.
Cornea spoke first. "So, you finally decided to grace me with your presence."
Hater scoffed. "You have no right. This is NOT your ship."
"Well, if it isn't right now, it will be soon."The group of six stared in puzzlement. Cornea smirked. "Ah. You don't know about my inside eye."
Hater was furious. "What are you talking about?" He snarled.
"All in good time."
"What are you up too?" Muttered Peepers. His only reply was an evil cackle.Then Cornea turned and left. They all watched as he boarded his own ship.
When he disappeared, the unnerving silence was shattered by Hater ordering an emergency meeting.
———
"What are we going to do?"
"It seems our only option is to wait for his next move." Replied Sylvia to a worried and anxious Lord Hater. Not the best combination of feelings for him.
"I agree. The only problem is that we can't just act like sitting ducks all throughout that period." Peepers mentioned.
Hater was deep in thought, then made up his made. "Increase security around the ship and on the Federation planets. I'll warn Awesome. Hopefully he'll get the message and sort out his own security as well."A/n: And there you have a chapter I am NOT proud of...
