This is my first Invader Zim fanfic and I'm SUPER EXCITED! I got the idea while I was on vacation with my family and felt that 'omg this needs to happen!'
This is an AU where the Irken race is still without their PAKs and live a pretty primitive life, while the Human race is working on making colonies on other planet and has made a treatie with the Vortians.
Well, here you go:
Prologue:
Year 2023, June 22nd, Saturday, Planet earth, Space Station Little Earth
"Oh my god, I can't believe we're going into space! Can you believe it, Gaz?" a very excited boy in his late teens said. An air of wind blew through his black hair.
"Eeyup", answered Gaz with little enthusiasm. While Dib's head turned from side to side to take in every aspect of Space Station Little Earth, Gaz's eyes were locked onto her GameSlave5.
"This is awesome! Dad would've been so proud of us!"
"Except he isn't because he's dead", Gax muttered.
"Look Gaz! There's our ship!" Dib pointed at a light blue spaceship with the name The Piggie sprayed on it in pink. Dib started to jog towards the ship while Gaz kept walking and looking at her game.
A soldier stood in front of the entrance when Dib arrived.
"Name and rank, young man", she demanded.
"Uh, Dib Membrane, I was requested to join The Piggie Crew as a scientist", Dib said. The soldier nodded.
"The Sergeant Mayor is already on the ship, go on in. Take left and enter the door labeled 'conference room'"
Dib could barely hold his excitement as he entered the ship. The corridors were empty but a few people in his age were already in the conference room, together with an elderly woman with a stern expression and her white hair in a tight knot. The other teenagers sat down on metal chairs while the woman stood in front of them. Behind her was a holographic map over a part of space.
Dib walked in silently and sat down behind the other teenagers. An awkward silence stretched over the little gang. The girl in front of Dib turned around.
"You're that Membrane kid, right", She asked with a smile.
"Yeah, that's right", Dib answered and smiled back. The girl had purple hair and brown eyes.
"Cool, my name's Zita, I'm the nurse around here", Zita grinned," I heard that you were insane."
"Well I'm not! That's just what people say!" Dib defended himself immediately", My name is Dib, and I'm the scientist around here, I guess..."
The doors swooshed open and Gaz entered, still playing her game. She took a seat beside Dib.
"Gaz, this is Zita, She's a nurse! Zita, this is my sister Gaz", Dib said. Gaz glanced at Zita and grunted.
"Nice to meet you, Gaz", Zita muttered, caught off guard by Gaz's coldness.
"You better not bother me", Gaz muttered back. Zita flinched slightly.
"C'mon Gaz, can't you at least try being nice", Dib whined.
"Be quiet."
Zita glanced at Dib then turned away. Dib sighed. So much for making a friend.
After a few more minutes of silence and a few more teens entering, the older woman finally spoke up.
"Listen up, young adults! You all know the reason you're here, to form the first team ever to live under a longer period on a foreign planet. You've all been professionally handpicked because no one will ever miss you if you die", she said with a droning voice dripping with venom," My name is Margarete Bitters. You will refer to me as Sergeant Mayor or Ma'am." Bitters pressed a few buttons on a remote and the map zoomed in at one particular planet.
"This is planet Irk. It's a six months travel away from here. Those who survive those month will spend another six months on this planet. Then you will decide wether or not it's a suiting planet to build a human colony on. If it isn't, humanity is doomed, doomed, doomed..."
She kept on droning the word doomed until Dib raised his hand.
"What do you want, big-headed boy?"
"My head's not big", Dib muttered", I was wondering if there are any aliens on the planet?"
"There are no reports of intelligent life forms from the planet. Just big birds and brain-eating bugs the size of an american football", Bitters replied. Some teens gasped. Dib felt slightly disappointed. Bitters pressed another button and the picture changed into a picture of a jungle. The plants were green or pink and there were pink fruit-like things.
"This vegetation covers the whole planet. The air is humid but breathable. The ground is covered with one decimeter mud, or deeper. When we land your first mission is to find a water source. While on the planet you will have to feed from what you can gather from the planet. You will all write reports on what is edible and what is not.
You must all work together to survive. A timetable will be put up in every room where is stands which chores you will be taking. During the travel to Irk you will all be on a diet of Poop Soda and Skool cafeteria food. Any questions?" No one raised their hand. "Good. You will have to download your voice into the computer so it recognizes your voices. After that you will get a quick guide in how to steer the ship. Then you'll go get your bags and we're ready to take off."
TBC
So, what to you think? I's short and not much happens, BUT BUT this is just the prologue, simply meant to present Dib's mission on Irk.
How was it? Was it good? Bad? Is the grammar acceptable? Is it too slow? Too fast? Confusing? Please leave a review and say what you think :)
