Prolouge

In one of the farthest galaxies, Zurg's spaceship roamed. But not just for fun of course. He searched for a planet, a very special one. The grubs worked seriously hard to keep the ship from crashing and breaking apart. But the gravity pushed and pulled hard at the ship. Whatever matter or energy was out there, it consumed and eroded all. Zurg looked up, keeping his eyes fixed on the soon-to-be-very-damaged roof. "Scan grubs, SCAN!"

Crash landing on one of the unknown planets, Zurg as the only one, left the ship, having little knowledge of this place, but just enough to walk in a direct line towards the centered energy "E-ev-il-em-peror-Zu-rg-the-ship-will self-de-de-struct-if we-do-nt-get-y-you-back-s-soo-n!" The grubs tried as hard to keep communications online, and Zurg still walked closer and closer to the center. "Are you kidding me! Just shut up! I'm almost at the center." Dusting off some particles on a large rock, an imprint became visible, and Zurg smirked.

A big blast was heard near the ship, and the grubs started to panic, what about their evil emperor! Was he dead now!? Oh dear space-time..

Suddenly communications went online and fully functional, "I'm on my way grubs.."

In space

The ship couldn't keep together for one more ride; the grubs had to work harder yet, to repair the ship. "Why is it taking so long!" The emperor exclaimed impatiently,

"Evil emperor Zurg, the shield is badly eroded and the nuclear blasters aren't fully functional anymore. And the body.. we're not sure if that's even revivable. All the erosion might make it a problem.. um.." Looking up at his not so happy emperor, the grub took a big step back.

"This is no grub mistake; it's the gravity and the strong radiating stellar winds. Look outside, lots of orange skies." The grub ended soothingly, which Zurg didn't like, grabbed the grub by its throat and held it high above his head.

"I know what orange means.. How do I even know secret galaxies if I'm not aware of.. Colors in space..!" He said swinging the grub about as if it was a willing dance-partner. "I even know that if you want to obtain a super powered battery-core, which can act as a pure in- and organic life-form, you must travel to the most radiated gravity-forced galaxies in the universe.. That galaxy!" Pointing happily out of the window Zurg dropped the grub to the floor and it scattered as quickly as its feet could muster.

"My galaxy of evil! Ah, doesn't that have a ring to it? My galaxy.. mahaha. Zurg's galaxy! BWahahahah!ahahahhahaha!cough.." Noticing he was alone, no grubs, Zurg added, "Matter and antimatter, sitting in space, makes a super charged battery case!.. for superevilenergy.. heh.."

Sighing, "I'm not gonna do much good as a stabilizer for this long, unless you grubs hurry your butts and repair the blasters!" Even though the last grub had already scattered from the room to repair the ship, some of the others could still be heard, scattering even more somewhere.

Energy on planet Z

Standing on planet Z again had the grubs exhale very happily, some of them even kissed the ground, one; Zurg's feet. "Oh my evil emperor, you saved us with your awesome powers!"

"Yeah, yeah. It was nothing, I mean seriously. You may have crash landed the ship but it was I who made it rise from its' dusty landing site! The orange clouds around me, I felt, energized! Oh grubs, we have to go visit sometime soon!"

"Aaaaw, really?" They all sighed sadly.

"Yes really."Zurg ended.

The case of life

"Okay, I hold the case down with these.." The grub guided a pair of robotic arms towards the case and held it down. "- while you guys aim the fusion-canon at it. Fusing that energy with the case. This will certainly make it ready for transmission."

"Oooh, great powers at stake here."

"Fire!" Every grub now waited as the beam powered the case.

Four hours after and the burn finally began to fade. What was left on the floor was a simple battery-case, which was fully charged, but not active.

Zurg knew he could do this, though it was only second time he had been on that red planet, he already felt at home among its deviousness, and death. Zurg held a steady beam at the case and forged it onto the inside of the robotic body. His powers, so unique.. Eyes that shoot laser, arms that transforms into weapons of his choice and a body that withholds forces stronger than the gravitation in many galaxies put together; and just because he upholds a healthy supplement of stolen energy, floating all through space but is strongest on his obviously favorite planet.

But he wasn't invincible; he knew something might someday pull him apart and end his cycle.

Pushing some buttons a beep was suddenly heard.

"The body is now offline in galaxy UDFj-39546284, UDFy-38135539, ULAS J1120+0641 and Baby Boom.. Wait for it…"

"Connecting with current galaxy, waiting for last system to disconnect." The grub continued.

"Reconnect with current system after disconnecting final system." The main computer answered.

"Oh dang.. We don't have a strong enough power to reach the last galaxy, maybe we need-" One Grub began and Zurg finished.

"When are you gonna learn my evil minions.." With that said, Zurg grabbed onto two metallic ends with his hands, which were pointing out of a large machine, resembling a radio, accessing galaxies through waves to finalize the process, "Now, turn up the signal!"

And the grubs did, sending a giant electric bolt through the whole tower. Every grub and brain got fried just momentarily, but enough to make them scatter again and again and again.

As Zurg used a big chunk of his energy to feed the machine to finalize, the grubs began to find their seats checking up on the status-updates.

"We have full access to the last system, and we're ready to disconnect!"

"DO IT, do it now!"

"Disconnecting galaxy Q2343-BX442. Aaaannd, reconnected to current galaxy!"

All grubs screamed of joy and jumped around, letting their excitement float through the whole ship. One grub kept pushing buttons as the energy and connection was stabilized.

"The energy and connection is in limbo, ready to activate energy. Um, evil emperor Zurg, are you okay..?"

"Ugh, yeah yeah.." Letting go of the cylinders Zurg fell backwards.

"Do you need a refill?"

"I always need a refill.."

Deciding to finalize the project at another time, two brains lend their shoulders for Zurg, and guided him to his private quarters.

Later

One grub holding a screwdriver to a screw, keeping it in place until the plate underneath sealed it shut. "Hmm.. Hey, # 19, need your help.."

"Mmyes #20?"

"Looks like an upload within the access.."

"Upload of energy?"

"Not just energy, Zurg's own made and restored.. Oh for time's sake! Why does everything have to fail so badly!?"

"Grubs, did I hear failure?" Zurg muttered through the speaker system.

"No. No evil emperor Zurg.. just a slight, erm-"

"Surprise! just an insignificant surprise, ehehe. Nothing to report, go back to bed my evil emperor."

Clearly smacking his lips and yawning Zurg murmured something that could have meant everything. But the important thing was that he went back to bed.

"What will this do #19?"

"If I'm correct, this means we have to download more energy from that blasted galaxy and risk Zurg's demise.. Ugh."

"You sure?"

"Not really, we'll have to define and fix the complications later."

3 days later.

Zurg finally felt somewhat alright. The conditions for walking meant using energy, luckily Zurg owned a mobile throne/bed. As the device floated across the floor, Zurg looked around, not really having anything to say or do for that matter. He just had to focus on the simple data, the brains called it.

"Ready my emperor? is this your first constructed super-battery?"

"Maybe.." Zurg sighed.

"Um, alrighty… what is its name?" The brain asked.

"Jamie; 3rd cousin on my ma's."

"Oh you don't have to argue with us, evil emperor. A name is a name."

Zurg nodded, feeling very drained, "I can't remember the last time I felt this way.. Like a chunky piece of Zurgy is eaten.. has eaten.. been ate?"

"Just relax sir; if any energy has been removed it will have no reason not to come back. It's energy my master." The brain said proudly.

"Yea, yea I know, nothing in the known universe just disappears without a… snoooore.." And Zurg was off to dreamland.

More time passes

It had already been days since the downloaded energy was stabilized and the case mounted into the body. The brains and grubs looked concerned at the table in front of them. Now it was time to activate the dead but soon-to-be momentarily alive body.

"What keeps the case from running out of energy is the connection to the current galaxy the body remains in. Keeping forces from returning to their native planet and forcing them to exist in another, creates a dynamic process, resembling life and magnetic resistance. The planets native energy remains inside the case and that's what qualifies it as a dynamic and alive system. But it's really just a matter of matter." The grub laughed feeling successful enough to brag.

"But why do we need to zap the box with energy again, we already transferred energy to the case, isn't it alive?" Another Grub asked.

"We need to activate that energy we transferred from galaxy UDFj-39546284. The energy in the case is in limbo, or rather in coma."

"So it's like, um.. Bringing zombies back?" Another grub asked.

"What?"

"Well, you're talking about downloading energy to something dead.."

"We're you even listening!?"

Some brains had fetched Zurg and was about to help him to a chair, but every time they asked him to take a seat, he just kept pulling at the mounted chair.

"Seriously, it's like he's 2 years old again.." A much tired brain ranted.

"Shh! Walls and ears you know.."

"Alright Zurg, what we want you to do is sit here, keep your hands and fingers on the metallic cylinders pointing out of.. yes Zurg, that's correct, just hold on now. Ok?"

And he nodded happily.

"We are trying to define what kind of energy emperor Zurg lost in the transmission." The brain said proclaiming 'Please let it be cognitive funktions, please, please, attention span, only attention span..' The brain prayed inside his mind.

"Screen on, definitions counting."

"Alright, waiting for 1 definition. Hopefully."

"Hopefully…?"

"Yeah.."¨

"1 definition found. Attention span, loaded and fragmented into vessel number 1, returning to original container* in 1 minute."

Feeling a strong lightning bolt course through his veins, Zurg suddenly regained consciousness, trying to figure out how far the project had come.

"Grubs, stage status!" Zurg roared as pain of electricity fried him from the inside.

"On it, on it!"

"2 definitions found."

"Blast.."

"- memory span; loaded and fragmented into vessel number 2, 50 % done."

The grubs stared at the big screen and suddenly realized that the upload had stopped.

"Return is incomplete!"

"What!? Wait. Data link dismissed or accepted then?" A brain asked suddenly almost demonized, as he'd seen this procedure before. He hadn't.

"Stage 6 active, evil emperor!" A brain answered.

"Definitions find finalized. Continuing energy transmission, opening recent access, 5 systems disconnected, 1 connected, ENA* accepted. Opening case cell, opening transmission."

"10 seconds to countdown." The main computer exclaimed.

"10!"

"Every grub to their base and steady the machines, great forces are passing through."

"9!"

"Unidentified energy readings stabilized and ready for launch. Lowering radio waves."

Release Zurg!"

"8!"

"Unidentified energy focused 80%, buffering, radio waves lowered."

"Zurg released!"

"Power up the radio waves. This energy is gonna have a nice ride."

"7!"

"Unidentified energy focused 90%, buffering, radio waves fully powered."

"6!"

"Unidentified energy focused 100%"

"Get Zurg into the deflector bubble!"

"5!"

"Unindentified energy focused 100%, uploading to case cell."

"Zurg is contained!"

"4!"

"Final transmission in running mode."

"Containment shelders opened, every grub and brain to the shelders! Auto session active!"

"3!"

"Uploading done in 33%, buffering,"

"Close shelders, activate shields!"

"2!"

"Uploading done in 66.5%, buffering."

"Brace for impact!" One grub yelled making everyone huddle closer together.

"1!"

"Uploading done in 99.99%, buffering, buffering, buffering."

"Pray for your lives!"

"0!"

"Upload complete, fusing!"

A big white flash of light filled the entire tower and spread wide and narrow through the planet's surface and buildings. Opening a temporary portal on Zurg's favorite planet. As the light shun pass galaxies into every residing portal, it ended up in this galxy, planet Zurg's fav, which blew all the dust from the surface, revealing a rather strange imprint on the ground of the planet. The imprint, unknown.

The negative energy* had returned to its native planet, balancing the galaxy.

All light was gone in a second, every living breathing and working life-form now dead.

It was like being caught in a flash, a second of time.

Finally energies across the galaxies began returning to their original places. The sun rose fast, as if it had to catch up with time.

The morning grew on all planets, slowly accepting the different forces in the known universe; correcting the timescale, the atmospheres and conditions for every creature.

The light rose upon tower Zurg, and the grubs, kept in a stiff condition, marked by time could only wait.

"Whoaaaa." Suddenly stumbling out of the shelders, the grubs and brains regained consciousness as did Zurg, feeling somehow fully energized again.

The grubs and brains were really drained though, falling into a big pile of insectoids and incased living tissue, they all fell asleep, leaving Zurg with too much energy stored for evil.

"Oh Grubsies.. Brainies, helloooooo…" Zurg demanded his fallen henchmen. "Did I just dodge the world's biggest life transmission ever! Oh yeah I did, ehehe." He bragged to himself

2 hours later

One grub woke up, finding himself on the ceiling fan, reacting to the surprise the grub fell off, and landed hard on the ground. 'What was I doing up there..?'

But he wasn't the only one. Some grubs were stuck to the ceiling, as if they were floating. They all began to fall down, revealing gum releasing from their backs.

"I see you've finally come around." Zurg said, smiling widely as his many minions landed hard on the ground.

"Wha.. What happened evil emperor?" One brain asked rubbing his glass container in pain.

"You fell asleep on the job.."

"So this was our punishment?" A grub asked curiously.

"No, that will come soon. But first, turn on the slave.."

Pushing a green button on one of the panels, the grub waited, but nothing happened.

"WELL?" Zurg demanded.

"We- we did everything by the books, why doesn't it-"

Definitions:

*ENA – Energy DNA, what defines the energy's purpose and actions.

*Negative energy – By-product of the energy fusion, this energy HAS to return to the original planet. Or else it will rip it apart and others around it. Diameter unknown.

*Original container – obviously Zurg. :D
