The Midnight Ride in Sleepy Hollow
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Prologue:
Lock Down
"Get my sqeedlyspooch you won't! Or my juices! They want my sweet juices! BUT THEY CAN'T HAVE IT!"
A tiny robot sat on the couch watching his master board up the doors and windows using wood and rusting nails. The SIR unit was wearing a green dog suit with the hood down as he drank a chocolate Suck Monkey, entertaining himself by making all kinds of odd and disturbing noises.
The Irken's Computer noted something that the green alien did not.
"Umm… sir? Why are you using human ways to …uh… block the entryways? We have impenetrable techno-"
The Irken turned upwards at the disembodied voice with paranoid irritation.
"You DARE question ME?! Your MASTER?! Do you doubt Zim's superior intellect?!" He raised a shaking finger towards the invisible computer and continued.
"I know very well that I have the technology to keep out unwanted intruders! I merely want to be… thorough." He covered defensively. He turned back to his shotty handiwork. He pressed his lekku back disgusted by his fear, then faced the ceiling again.
"Computer! Turn on the Defensive Maneuver 0657!"
Outside, the ground shook as metal pipes emerged from the ground and moved upwards and over the house in a semi-circle. The pipes then released claws from inside and connected to the others while metal walls followed the pipe track up to form a huge dome over the strange green house.
The lawn gnomes grew larger and glared at the streets with luminescent red eyes, ready to shoot down any incoming danger. The random pink blowfish at the fence elongated its spikes, preparing to launch, and inflated to become as large as the gnomes while the flamingo grew metal teeth and took out a large spinning saw blade.
Underground in his lab, Zim observed the yard with evaluation. It needed something. But what? He tapped his chin in thought. His lekku popped up in realization.
"That's it!"
He slammed his fist against a blue button releasing the giant sign from the ground. The poles emerged from the dirt and shot up over the dome and the holographic sign flickered on in big purple letters on a black screen.
Zim looked at the sign impressed and reread it, "GO AWAY EVIL HALLOWEENIES".
A/N: Sorry for being so late on updating AT ALL. I know I haven't been working on "Embracing Insanity" for a while, but as school started up I became so busy. That and I got my first commission! XD I'm making a patch design for a biker! Now even though this isn't my other story, I'm glad I got something up, some of you are probably mad now. Well, too bad. XP This I did right before going to school this morning. Besides Halloween is coming up! My favorite holiday. So I couldn't resist this. Had to do it. Now leave me to finish my waffles! *grabs waffle*
