I don’t know why they’re fighting like they do.
Anasigma has seen it through.
Takes on veggies, the Biomass.
We haven’t seen the end or the last
We’ve got to go, that I’ll tell you.
We’ve got to hide.
Take it to the shelter, stand by for assaulter,
Take it to the shelter, stand in for assaulter,
Crushing us down, crushing us down.
I don’t know why both sides are so mad,
All against these things that aren’t so bad.
It is a battle we can’t fight just yet.
Our beaten team, we’d forever regret.
We’ve got to go, that I’ll tell you.
We’ve got to hide.
Take it to the shelter, stand by for assaulter,
Take it to the shelter, stand in for assaulter,
Crushing us down, crushing us down.
Slam us, squeeze us, fight us, Geezus.
And we can’t, and we can’t, and we can’t take much more of it.
Take it to the shelter, stand by for assaulter,
Take it to the shelter, stand by for assaulter,
Crushing us down, crushing us down.
I don’t know why they’re fighting like they do.
Anasigma has seen it through.
Sixteen reasons there for this brawl.
And here we are, the main target of them all.
We’ve got to go, that I’ll tell you.
We’ve got to hide.
Take it to the shelter, stand by for assaulter,
Take it to the shelter, stand in for assaulter,
Crushing us down, crushing us down.

“The one where we don’t die” is also what you get from successfully running away – which is, really, what everyone waiting for the spaceship is hoping for.
(Speaking of which, those space bees need to get a move on, or they might not have anyone to rescue.)
The foes are engaged with each other. Anasigma, the Biomass—brother! The Joint Chiefs of Staff, here to give us a laugh? If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
Any landing you can walk away from…
I wouldn’t be adverse to limping away.
Even crawling away.
Even waking up in the hospital could be acceptable….
Waking up in the body bag is right out.
I disagree, Duane. Waking up at all would be acceptable. At least you’re waking up.
“The victor would emerge stronger than either, and free from doubt.” —Gandalf.
Which explains why LotR is shelved under “fantasy.”
Not entirely, look at the Soviet Union vs. Germany.
No, East and West Germany.
They never fought a war though, and just merged peacefully.
Panel 4 Sweetheart’s expression really makes the endgame sink in.
At least you can be assured that the victor will be weakened. Whether it will be weakened to the point where you have the advantage is another matter.
Will the biomass be weakened? It can regenerate and right now is eating heartily.

I’m still amazed at your talent. Good work!
I tried out “Gimme Shelter,” but couldn’t make it work.
Well this one works! Applause!
The end begins, and with Our Heroes in the middle.
Mmm…an “Our Heroes” sandwich…
Kinky.
