A/N: Ok, I know I said a few hours ago that I wouldn't post anything new for a day or two, but my brain was all like, "Hey, bro! Wake up! You've suddenly got a good idea for an Invader Zim story and you gotta publish it! NOW, BRO, NOW!" and I was all like, "But I'm sleepy..." and my brain was all like, "I DON'T CARE, YOU BEYOTCH. NOW DO IT." and I was all like, "Fiiiiine..." and managed to write this chapter and half of the next one which I'll publish once i et a review for this chapter.
"Approaching planet Earth." The ship's computer announced, in a bored tone. I nearly jumped up and down in joy, but I would've hit my head on the low, curved ceiling of my Cruiser. My SIR unit KiWi had been programmed -by me, of course- to wake from Hibernation Mode at this announcement. She began looking out of the large window of the cruiser, meticulously scanning the planet Earth's appearance and the many satellites surrounding it.
"Finally..." I whined, my voice scratchy from months of silence. I dearly wanted to stretch my arms and legs, sore and cramped from my long confinement, but I couldn't, not yet. I settled for arching my back forward, rolling my neck as well. My hands reached for the controls in front of me, and I began pressing digital buttons and moving various slides on the touchscreen panel. Low-tech, I know, but nothing beats a classic. The atmosphere of the planet whizzed by as I flew the ship. I decided to build my base in a small town, one by the base of a body of blue liquid. "KiWi, start scanning the town for common characteristics of the native species and their residence-pods." She saluted, her green eyes flashing red as she carried out my orders. I, meanwhile, began downloading every pixel of what she had already scanned into the ship's computer, and designed a dwelling-pod based on what KiWi had seen. I landed the ship in a small patch of flat land, and jumped out of my Cruiser.
The dwelling-pod, or "house" as KiWi had quickly discovered, was programmed into a standard-issue Base Builder and constructed in about a minute. KiWi and I scurried into the base, not wishing anyone to see us without our disguises which I had yet to create (taking the time to track down anyone who saw us and erase their memories is far too boring for me!).
A mirror popped up in the middle of the main room of the base, and I pulled out a hologram generator. I clasped it to my wrist and looked at my reflection- green skin, zig-zagged antennae, dark violet eyes and a standard Invader uniform of the same color. I moved my arms and saw the familiar black gloves I loved so much adorning each one. I flicked my eyes down my appearance, analyzing it, before I looked at the hologram generator and began fiddling with a knob on its side.
My skin appeared to change from the familiar green to a pale tan color. Dark auburn hair shimmered into shoulder-length existance atop my head. My gloves and boots remained as they were, perhaps with a few shiny buckles added to the sides of all of them. My violet uniform-top turned into a normal looking shirt, the sleeves cut off right above my elbow. My eyes retained their color as well, but had gained some decoration in the form of eyeliner, giving them a cat-like appearance. My PAK had taken the form of a black bookbag- nothing too fancy, just the way I liked it. I narrowed my new eyes, knowing something was missing from my disguise. Not knowing exactly what, I twisted a different knob at random, coming up with multiple piercings on my eyebrow.
Nope. Not that.
I twisted the knob again, this time being gifted with purple and black striped headphones around my neck.
Perfect!
I turned from the mirror, happy with my new look, and looked at KiWi. I couldn't think of what she should look like, so I didn't try. She wouldn't leave the base without my knowledge, and even when she did leave, she's too good at hiding to be seen.
KiWi wouldn't need a disguise. Not right now, at least.
I walked in a random direction, exploring the base. I had let the computer design the interior of the house, so I had no idea what I'd find.
After a few hours of finding and opening doors, I had gotten bored, so I just downloaded the blueprints of the house onto my PAK. Using my new resource, I walked to the entrance to the labs. It looked a lot like a storage closet, but I pressed a button and a microphone appeared.
"Voice recognition required. Noncompliance will result in destruction." Boomed the computer's voice. I grinned- I taught him everything he knows!
Seriously. I did. I wrote every line of code needed to make an (almost) sentient being.
"Voice recognition given. Invader Kit demanding access to labs." I replied in a cold voice.
"Access granted." Computer replied, opening up a door in the floor, revealing a floating platform that I jumped onto without hesitation.
"You know full well you don't have to be so formal. ...Unless I want to impress someone." I said, the words laced with humor, a grin once again on my face.
"I know. I just felt like using my scary voice." Computer said, instantly reverting from his self-proclaimed 'scary voice' to his normal voice.
The rest of the ride down to the labs was silent, which was good- I never really liked meaningless chatter. If something needs to be said, I'll say it, and if someone is speaking empty words, I'll just ignore them.
The platform reached the bottom of the tube, and I walked off of it, into my brand new labs.
A/N: So how was it? If you liked it and want me to continue it, review! If I don't get a review, I won't post the next chapter... Bye~!
