Irken Corruption: The Beginning
Hi everyone, I'm back and writing again. It's been a long time but I've been meaning and asked to write my FCs story. It all is based 2000 years after Impending Doom 2 into the far future.
The Invasion
Ships flown busily towards and from a deep pinkish colored planet, lights emitting far from its surface to the point it looked like it was speckled with them from all over it's surface. Many ships hovered over the planet, some monitoring the leaving and entering vehicles. The surface below looked rather sinister yet majestic from the towering metropolis that covered almost the whole planet. Tons of the towers were grey, while some buildings maintained its magenta hue like the ships that hovered by. The citizens, more like soldiers, marched in numbers towards their destinations. Magenta uniforms clashing against the grey buildings and blending with the some of the buildings.
They each had different tints of green skin with some having either magenta, purple, green, or brown eyes. Each of them sporting two thin antennae some curled to distinguish the female to the males who had antennae that bent near the ends. Some of them were expressionless and more focused towards their goal, or assigned jobs. Others stood away from the others and gorged their faces with snacks. Though there was one Irken that stood out from the rest. One that resided in one of the tallest towers throughout the planet, which was called Irk.
He stood around 7 feet and 3 inches tall, his feet hovering slightly off the ground. The tall Irken was unusual in appearance. His eyes being grey instead of the normal hue, and his armor being a brilliant silver color. The Irken's antennae twitched from a sound of footsteps from behind him.
"Yes, what is it that you want," he said out of boredom without so much as turning around.
"My tallest," a brown eyed Irken with a round metal object attached to his chest usually found on their backs, bowed. "We have a situation."
The tallest turned his head, "And what is this this situation may I ask…um…whatever your name is?"
The Irken raised his finger, "Gif, my name's Gif my tallest," He had a hint of annoyance in his tone from his Tallest yet again forgetting his name. However he rather glad he wasn't in a room full of other advisers with different eye colors.
The Tallest known as Agrasis was color blind, which was why his eyes were grey. He also was horrible at remembering names, in which the tallest hated more was being ignored or seeing the look of confusion among those he commanded when addressing them by their eye color. Agrasis eyed Gif, showing signs of impatience which made the adviser swallow with nervousness."One of our scouts spotted signs of enemy ships nearby."
Agrasis groaned in annoyance, "Those are just signs, until you spot an actual enemy ship then don't bother me," He waved his 2 digit fingers to dismissed Gif.
"But my tallest, they said things such as Resisty rocks, and the Empire will reach its downfall." Gif complained.
Agrasis growled, "You are dismissed!" Gif shut his mouth, slowly backing up and then darted from out of the tallest's room hoping to not had anger the tallest any further.
Meanwhile hovering above Irk in a Ripper, a Irken laid back lazily with his feet resting on the dash board. His hands digging into a bag of nachos and munching on them lazily. He hadn't noticed the red blip on his radar onto a loud beep sounded as it became closer. Jumping and accidently banging his head on the ceiling, he yelped. "Ow," rubbing his head as he felt a bruise form. Looking to check the radar he saw one red dot, but after a minute more began to appear until there was thousands. The beeping becoming faster, and faster by the minute. His green eyes widened in fear, instantly he slammed his gloved hand hard on an alarm sending a distress call. Several other ships seemed to had detected the huge wave as well, alerting the surface of the incoming threat.
Alarms began to sound everywhere, making it extremely painful and almost unbearable to stand from the loud sounds they emitted. The Irken piloting the Ripper was first to see the front line of the attack. His antennae flattened, and his green eyes twitched as the ships soon began to fire their laser cannons. His being the first ship outside the protection of the other pilots and being the farthest out. The lasers hit his ship first and directly as he let out a scream before the ship exploded. The Irken ships surrounding the planet soon began firing back but with them being taken by surprised several ships were already lost.
Some of the resistys ships stayed back to shoot and dog fight the defending Irkens, but some of the resistys ships damaged as they were, kept heading for the surface and did not stop. Agrasis now alert from the alarms hovered there, looking through the glass window in terror as ships from the enemy began crashing, and exploding into the towers, building, and facilities. Shrapnel raining down from the impact killing soldiers, along with collapsing metal and debris. Agrasis was prideful, and even if he deep down knew it was his fault, he refused to believe that. He instead planned on blaming Gif or whatever his name eventually, just to cover his own shame. Screams could be heard everywhere, some Irkens took control of cannons to try to destroy some of the suicidal invaders in midair before impact. But to no avail there were too many from the resisty building up its forces for years just to finally take down the Irkens once and for all.
On another planet called Judgementia about the same time of the attack, a suspicious looking Ringcutter arrived with a strange looking Irken exiting it. The troopers supposedly guarding the spike of judgment were distracted. With only a couple left to watch at guard towers. The odd looking Irken walked down the path casually, waving at any guards that happened to notice. Each of the Irkens footsteps sounded abnormal and more like small tapping with each step. The Irken had stitches lining its face, and the antennae flopped in odd directions and with each step he grumbled insults and complaints about being uncomfortable under his breath until he reached a platform.
The control brains rested in the whole room. One of their screens flickering and glitching. Sometimes mentioning a name that was hard to make out. Something that started with a Z and ended in a humming noise with static. The other fully functioning control brains towered over him menacingly which made him shake in fear.
The control brain spoke in a menacing cold and monotone tone, "State your business here."
The shiny orbs gave off an eerie glow which sent shivers through his spine. But this was for freedom, and for the resisty. Suddenly he screamed, "Look, I'm a defect! Whoooooooooo!" he brought out 2 laser guns, dual wielding them and firing at the same time.
The Control Brains lights flickered "We command you to stop at once." Lasers shot off several wiring and caused sparks to fly.
When the Irken refused to obey the control brain, out of uneasiness it shot down a cable attaching to the Irkens PAK, "We claim you as defective and thus you will be deactivated for your disobedience." It said harshly through its menacing monotone voice. It began to suck out all the data within the PAK only to glitch, "W…what is this…," sparks flew and sounds of hurried footsteps could be heard behind the strange Irken as he was dropped onto the floor. The odd Irken brought his hand up towards his face and started to pull it off to reveal a strange horned goat-like creature.
He grinned, "All is going as planned." He was suddenly shocked. Screaming as he fell onto the ground twitching as 2 guards stood over him with their staffs held out to strike.
The control brain began to send out commands. "st…top…th…ey…are….friiiii…..ennndsssss…ignore…th..e…expoooooosions…" The guards looked at each other confused but kept their staffs pointed and on guard.
Back on Irk Several Irkens stopped firing and just stood there confused as they watched their own city become crippled. One Resisty ship was now able to land, a small yellow but quick moving alien with a screw stuck in its head dashed out.
Taking cover behind crumpled metal and looking for an entrance underground. Taken out a pair of high tech binoculars, he scanned the area until he spotted something, "Found ya!" He grinned, running towards a hatch in the ground and climbing down.
Once inside the dark underground facility, the small alien quietly tip toed through the hall. Hiding from a passing seeker drone, and sighing in relief once it was gone. He moved from his hiding spot and scanned around more. Taking an elevator downward he turned a corner, peeking and checking to see if the coast was clear.
Once he found it was okay he moved out, coming to a door lined with wires and what looked like a high security door.
"Ha, and you horrible Irkens think you can stop me with a stupid door!" Taking out a laser blade, he began slowly cutting open the door until it opened up. He pried the rest loose, standing there with a huge grin at his success as he stood before the smeetary. Smeets being just born were shot from a chute to be given an ID after the metal thing called a PAK was placed onto them. The screw-headed alien went into action, taking out magnetic plates to attach to the walls and climb towards the top. He spotted the robot arm placing the PAK onto newly created smeets as he ascended but ignored them not admitted he actually thought they looked rather cute.
Once up top, he grabbed hold of the wiring, yanking and cutting them off. Liquid seeped out of some and others just sparked. "Ah hah, maybe destroying them without explosions would work better!" As he was struck with a better idea.
Following the wiring that seeped liquid, he finally came upon a tank. It looked like it was for only one whole section though. He'll have to find the other tanks to finish his job completely after he took care of this one. Moving towards the top of the tank, he yanked out a couple of wiring that mixed certain chemicals together and swapped them, but before he replaced the tubing, he took out a small container marked with an alien-like biohazard sign and poured the contents inside.
The screw head laughed "Finally we will rid ourselves of this plague!"
Jumping down he ripped out more wiring, tossing a bomb behind him into a group of tanks containing smeets. Most of them weren't even scratched as it exploded but a couple had liquid drip out. He ran towards the door to exit this sector to try to find the other parts of the smeetary to damage, shoving a smeet back inside the chute as he found his way out and clogging it up as smeets piled up inside. The screw headed chuckled in glee but ran unexpectedly into a large Irken standing at the entrance, falling to the ground. The power on Irk flickered out into pure darkness, causing horribly painful overload day 4.
Fire enveloped the city, sirens sounded, screams were heard, and Agrasis hovered there speechless. The Resisty had retreated from the loss of many members that day, and from the unexpected capture of a couple lead resist members with the turn of events.
