Plot[]

With the galaxy now at peace after the Intergalactic Civil War, the humans have signed a peace treaty with the Covenant Elites. The series opens up after three war veterans are removed from their original posts and are to form the fifth intergalactic semi-mechanised infantry battalion.

Length - 4:17

Willy is once again trying to kill Spriggs. Hammer then assigns Triple M to put a stop to this after promoting him to Sergeant. Triple M at first manages to calm Willy down before Spriggs causes him to lose it again and makes him fire multiple rockets at random directions just to try to hit Spriggs, only to accidentally fire a rocket into Hammer's command room while he was trying to call in for more soldiers setting off explosions inside and making him fly into a wall. Triple M then comments that at least he didn't hit anything important.

Length - 6:14

Willy and Triple M bring Hammer to a room, to await the nurse that will arrive to heal Hammer's wounds.

Hammer says that he doesn't feel his balls, and threatens to rip Willy's balls off. Willy then tells Hammer of a nurse coming, Hammer then asks which and discovers it is one he doesn't want to be healed by. As Hammer asks for a pistol, the nurse Meme arrives. Meme asks Willy to leave but Hammer insists to stay. But, after an argument between Hammer and Meme, Willy eventually runs off while Hammer begs Willy to stay, offering to buy him hookers, a boat, a car, and a boat full of hookers. Meme then says its just her and him, much to Hammer's dismay. Willy then comments that he is going to blog about this.

Length - 6:28

Spriggs then heads out the same building and Willy says that "this means war". While Meme is "healing" Hammer, he accuses her of harvesting him for organs, she claims that he is not worth it whatsoever as his meat is and always was for "unfit for consumption". Hammer then claims that his "meat is prime cut". Meme then tells Hammer of no Pelican drop for two weeks and that personnel are transferred using Hornets, in which the episode flashes back to Meme screaming while on the side a Hornet. Willy meanwhile prepares to face off against Spriggs again while Triple M checks up on him. Willy attempts to target Spriggs but can't get him to stay still. Suddenly Spriggs then appears three times at once confusing Willy enough to allow Spriggs to get into a tank to chase and shoot a panicking Willy who claims that he has a wife and eight kids somewhere, also destroying his weapons.

Episode 4 - Cake or Death?[]

Length – 10:33

Willy asks Triple M to open the front gate of the complex but has to go through an extremely complicated computer system that may set off either flame turrets, deadly neurotoxin, or floor spikes, and was told not to go for the cake because that was how they lost their Major.

Triple M then gets a call from General Vollin who needed to speak to Captain Meme and asks Triple M not to kidnap any more friendly generals, when General V finishes her message Triple M mutters "bitch", which Meme hears and is then told by Triple M that Vollin wants to speak to her. Willy then interrupts the line by hacking into it and asking to open the door, and if they need any Morphine, which Hammer demands. Triple M manages to open the door at last. The Aliens, meanwhile, are arguing about what to do, the White Alien wants food while the Grey one suggests killing and eating the humans while the Blue one comments about how they taste. They then steal a Warthog and drive off with it. Triple M then is checking inventory to make some sort of Mech. Willy manages to steal Spriggs's Mongoose only for Spriggs to have a spare. Willy then carelessly drives it over a hill. Spriggs then drives by Triple M who wishes for a Mongoose, only to have it drop out of the sky. He then tries a more whimsical wish only to get Willy to land on the ground. Willy then pursues Spriggs with a flamethrower, attempts to trap Spriggs and after doing so attempts to kill him with a tank only when he attempts to fire the tank explodes, he then fires multiple rockets at Spriggs again only to fire a straight shot that completely ruins Triple M's attempt at producing his Mech.

Length – 6:38

Meme announces that she has finished Hammer's treatment from the rocket accidentally launched by Willy in Episode 1. Hammer asks how he looks and the three sugarcoat it due to the fact that Meme has made him look like an Flight Elite. When Triple M asks Spriggs how Hammer looks, Spriggs responds by a series of swear words (which are bleeped because of a running gag that Spriggs speaks in a series of beeps) they restate their comments about Hammer's appearance such as Meme quotes "I did my job to the human race to ensure that you would never breed again tehe," Hammer says that he is going for a drive and gets in his suit and says it its harder to fit in. The aliens meanwhile have come back and Roltri comments that the mission was successful but Soltri comments that he is not reliable while Boltri is trying to get their attention while Roltri recollects that he got the alien three translator in which Soltri comments on why the Grunts were so willing to trade three of theirs for the aliens' one translator. Boltri then finally gets their attention, asking if they remembered to get any food, which they didn't, much to Soltri's dismay. While back at the base Hammer angrily asks where the tanks have gone, in which Triple M blames Willy and says that they could potentially be half way to Kansas. Hammer asks why would they be half way to Kansas in which Triple M comments that he was trying to build his mech and also used many power cores. Hammer asks Willy to complete a report on the possibility on where the tanks might be at in six hours. Willy asks why, and Hammer replies "I need napkins for my donuts," then asks Triple M to find any spare power cores instead of usual toilet detail which Hammer gives to Meme. Hammer says that this is his base and she should be working under him if shes gonna be watching him. The next scene shows Hammer cleaning up the toilets.

Characters[]

Main Characters[]

  • Hammer - The lieutenant of the Fifth Intergalactic Semi-Mechanised Infantry Battalion. An incompetent leader, know for sleeping with every woman in the army (and a few men).
  • Triple M (real name Mitch Miles Murphy) - A member of the Fifth and former member of Rainbow Squad. Triple M was assigned to Rainbow Squad before they embarked on what was considered a suicide mission to ensure his death. The military feared having a man named Murphy as an officer due to the superstition around Murphy's Law. He is sent to Zambai 7 after capturing an Elite general on his mission with Rainbow Squad and forcing him to wear a tutu, which nearly caused an intergalactic incident. He is promoted to sergeant by Hammer, who does not know his full name, and is ridiculed for his collection of anime and hentai yet treated cautiously due to his name and ability as a soldier.
  • Willy - A highly decorated, yet mentally unstable, member of the Fifth. For unknown reasons (but likely concerning one of Spriggs' past operations), Willy is obsessed with murdering Spriggs at any cost. Despite this hatred, he almost treats his quest to kill Spriggs like a game, is prone to moments of random lucidity, and will defend Spriggs from others potentially "kill stealing."
  • Spriggs - The so called "black hole of all classified reports," portrayed as an extremely effective and dangerous soldier, whose past is unknown other than having a combative history with Willy. In contrast to one with such a background, Spriggs communicates via high-pitched honks and is rarely not riding a mongoose. Like Willy, Spriggs treats his attempts at murder like a game but is ruthless and violent to Willy when given the opportunity, although Willy is able to shake off even the grisliest of injuries.
  • Meme - The captain and medic sent to the Fifth after Hammer is blown up by Willy. One of Hammer's past girlfriends, she intentionally mutilates him while treating his other injuries. She accompanies the Fifth throughout the events of Zambai.
  • Vollin - The universally disliked general overseeing Zambai 7 and tasked with killing the Fifth to put an end to the trouble they have caused.
  • Rogir - Vollin's scout whose habit of monologuing about the current situation or a character's past often results in his capture by the people he is spying on.
  • The Three Aliens - The dimwitted, violent, adolescent Elite brothers who seek revenge on Triple M for putting their father in a tutu. Unfortunately, they have no idea who Triple M is.
    • Soltri
    • Boltri (Boom Boom)
    • Rotri

Minor Characters[]

  • Rainbow Squad
    • Sarah Pink - A dimwitted, teenaged-behaving member of Rainbow Squad.
    • Jim Black - An enthusiastic and diplomatic member of Rainbow squad. He's sleeping with Wendy Yellow.
    • Wendy Yellow - A member of Rainbow Squad still in touch with Triple M. Implied to be Phillip Blue's ex but now with Jim Black.
    • Phillip Blue - A mild-mannered member of Rainbow Squad. Implied to be Wendy Yellow's ex and is now depressed. He appears to share Triple M's taste in anime.
    • Tom Red - The intense leader of Rainbow Squad. He plays techno music while speaking. There to kick ass.
  • Pink Squad
    • Pink Colonel - The flamboyantly gay German leader of the Pink Squad. He speaks almost entirely in double entendres.
    • Shultz - The highly metrosexual German second-in-command of the Pink Squad.
    • Sammy - The Pink Squad explosives specialist. He speaks with a gay lisp.
