All the high ranking commanders were in the Central Command Ship for a meeting with Zarkon about attack tactics on Honerva. They were waiting for him to return from the Castleship. They most definitely weren't expecting to see him look like he was on the verge of tears walking behind a very pissed off Elara. Bellatrix and Zanthea were silently snickering.

"Please tell me you were kidding." Zarkon practically pleaded.

"Did you hear me say I was kidding?" Elara growled.

"No..." Zarkon said.

"Exactly, now shut your howling screamer and expect nothing but torture for a while." Elara said seriously before walking in a separate direction. Bellatrix and Zanthea looked at their father's face and exploded into a fit of laughter, the female commanders, Trugg and Ladnok were trying to hold it in. Ranveig, Sendak and the other male commanders paid respects as if Elara just killed Zarkon.

"What did he say to her?" Sendak asked his nieces. Bellatrix tried to answer but she just laughed with her sister.

"Torture? Oh... oh no..." Commander Sniv said realizing what the infuriated Empress meant.

"We've lost one of the Bois..." Sendak said.

"He's gonna end up neutered by the end of this, without anyone even touching him...." Ranveig said. The female commanders started laughing so hard, earning a glare from Zarkon and 'the Bois.'

"That's the goal!" They heard Elara yell.

"You two weren't gonna have any more kids anyway." Sendak said.

"One more wouldn't hurt." Zarkon said.

"It wouldn't hurt YOU. It would be excruciating for her." Zanthea said.

"No more kids please... I can't even deal with her." Bellatrix said as she pointed to Zanthea.

"You're gonna suffer for a while." Zanthea said.

"I'm going to kill those little rats...."
