Invader Julie
(chpt. one)
"Alright..next Invader.." Almighty Red sighed, tired of missions, glad that it was almost over. His brother Purple felt the same way. The last Irken hopped up on the platform. They looked down at the soon-to-be Invader. "Judy..right?"
"Julie, sir.."
"Oh..that's right..you've grown quite a bit! Let's see..what planets are left..." Red floated up to the giant screen behind him, covered with a map of the galaxy. Purple blinked and looked down at Julie.
She was one of the medium-sized Irkens, three foot, two inches tall. She had purple hair down to her mid-back, with bangs stopping right above her red eyes. She had on a sky blue t-shirt, but it cut off at the shoulders because of a light blue circle, kind of like a ring, went around her arm. From her shoulder down was a skin tight silver jump suit like sleeve, with tiny black circles, three to be exact, going down until the end of her hand. Under her sky blue gloves, the sleeve went between her thumb and index finger. Her shirt stopped at her stomach, and that's where her pants began. They were light blue and flared out slightly from her knees down. She also had black boots, with purple socks underneath that weren't visible. Her pack was sky blue with light blue spots. She had a necklace as well, a sort of choker. It had a gold medallion attached to a sky blue band that went all the way around her neck. Right below that where her shirt started was another light blue ring for the collar of her shirt.
"Purple.." Purple looked back and floated over to Red. "Yeah?" Red leaned over closer to whisper. "I don't want to give her a major planet.." Purple blinked. "..why not?"
"I don't trust her..let's give her that mystery planet.." Red pointed to a yellow sticky-note, to the right of the board. Purple lowered his antenna slightly but jerked them up as Red turned back to him for assurance.
"Uh..sure..." Purple faked a smile and Red nodded, turning to Julie. Julie jumped into attention, now seeing that theirs was on her. "Uh..we have a secret mission for you Judy-"
"Julie.."
"Oh..right..well anyway, there's your planet.." He pointed to the sticky-note again. Julie's antenna raised, liking the sound of it. "What's its name?" Red flicked an antenna. "Uhm..it's secret! You will see when you get there!" Julie nodded slightly, getting suspicious that something was going on. Red dismissed Julie and she walked off the platform. Red continued talking as Julie headed for the equipment hall. "..secret mission..." She stepped into the equipment hall where the other invaders were. An invader by the name of Skoodge was standing at the front of the line, somewhat looking upset. He was rather plump and about at tall as Julie, but not quite. Julie blinked and walked up to him. "Skoodge? You alright?" Skoodge jumped, surprised. "Oh..nothing....just..the planet I was assigned to..I don't wanna go.." Julie lowered her antenna. "It's alright..I'm sure you'll do fine on Blortch!" Skoodge raised his antenna. "Really? You're the only one to say anything nice to me..thanks Julie!" Julie smiled. "Anytime Skoodgey.." Skoodge snickered at his nickname as the Almighty's guards walked into the room, signalling for them to get in line because the Tallests were coming. Julie blinked and ran to the back of the line. The Almighty entered and everyone got into a saluting pose. Red waved his hand to signal them to drop attention. Julie let her arm fall and sighed. A few minutes later, she was next to get her SIR. She walked up to the platform and Red looked down at her. "Eh..we have a special SIR for you.." Red floated off to a different room and left Purple standing there. Julie flicked her antenna and looked up at Purple. "Excuse me, my lord.." Purple blinked and glanced down at her. "Yeah?" Julie motioned for him to come closer so he kneeled down. "Now don't lie to me...there really isn't a 'secret' planet, is there?" Purple bit his lower lip and lowered his antenna slightly. "Uh..." He glanced towards the door that Red had gone through then looked back at Julie. "..no..there's not...don't say anything to show you know..just go find a planet.." Julie nodded. Purple sighed and grabbed a SIR, still packed into its ball and handed it to Julie. She looked down at it and blinked, looking back at Purple. "Go..hurry...Red's probably in there just throwing something together.." Julie smiled and saluted, then took off down the hall to her voot cruiser. Red came floating out the door, carrying a poorly made SIR and stopped, seeing Julie wasn't there. "...where'd she go?" Purple stood and blinked. "She left..one of these SIRs just jumped up and decided to be hers.." Red flicked an antenna and chunked the SIR he made back into the room. "Oh well..she still won't find a planet.." He snickered and headed down the hall. Purple sighed and followed. Julie growled, trying to turn on her cruiser, but it wouldn't crank. "C'mon.." It still wouldn't crank, so she banged her fist on the control panel, and this time it cranked. "FInally...alright SIR, ready..?" "Yes my lord!" Julie's SIR was like every other SIR, but Julie changed the red markings to purple. Julie pulled back on the control stick and the cruiser slowly lifted off the docking bay's floor. Then she pushed forward and slowly pulled out of the docking area. Once she got out of the area, she sped off in the direction that she was assigned to go. "You know SIR..I really don't like calling you that..let's come up with a different name.." The SIR blinked. "Okei.." "Lesse..Jir? No....Mir? Uh-uh...oh! I know! Vir!" The SIR blinked again. "Wuzza V for?" "Uhm...virtual..yeah! Virtual Intelligence Robot. Vir's your name!" Vir smiled. "Okedday!" Julie smiled as well and set the runner on cruise, it turned in the correct direction and she laid back in her seat, sighing. Vir slumped down in her seat as well. Julie's antenna flicked as she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to help pass time on her long journey.
~6 Months Later~
Julie opened her eyes slowly, a noise having woken her. Her computer was beeping. Vir was curled up in a ball, asleep still. Julie yawned and pushed a button on the control panel. "Yes?" "-Planet ahead. Earth.-" Julie rubbed her eyes and looked out the window, seeing a big blue and green planet a few hundred miles away, but was still very visible. "...Earth? Is it inhabitable?" "-Atmosphere contains oxygen. Severeal species of live. Main species is homo sapien.-" "Ho-whatcha?" Julie blinked. "-Human for short.-" Julie looked back at the planet. "....humans..computer, show me one.." The computer beeped, scanning the planet as a picture of a girl human showed up on the screen. Julie blankly stared at the screen. ".......uh...yuck...alright computer..take it off.." The picture disappeared and she looked back at earth again. "Well..here's my..'secret' mission.." She looked over in the other seat at Vir. Julie blinked and poked her. "Hey..get up.." Vir twitched and yawned, sitting up. "Are we there yet?!" Julie blinked and pointed out the window. Vir jumped up and pressed against the window. "Oooh..wuzzat?" "Earth..the planet we've been sent to destroy.." "Ooh.." The computer beeped again, signalling they could now enter the atmosphere. Julie looked at the panel then pushed a button, igniting the thrusters and took the controls, steering towards Earth. Vir blinked and sat back down. "Alright Vir..get ready to scan the planet so we can blend in." Vir's eyes turned red. "Yes!" Julie pushed forward on the control stick, the runner shooting into the atmosphere. Vir began scanning the planet's surface, picking up bits of information. Julie pushed another button, turning off the thrusters to let the planet's gravity suck the ship in. Once they reached a certain altitude, she turned the thrusters on again, keeping a steady speed and soared above the planet's surface. Julie slowed down, spotting a good place to land, an empty lot between two houses. She lowered the runner and shut down the engine. She pushed the door open and peeked out slowly, looking around then hopped out. "C'mon Vir..but be quiet.." Vir jumped out of the runner and walked up beside Julie. "Alright..now...what did you see?" Vir blinked, her eyes turning red again. "Lots of animals..mammals, reptiles, and amphibians." Julie nodded. "Continue.." "Mammals seen were cat, dog, fox, lemur, panther-" "That's enough..we'll stay with those..show me pictures of them and then we'll choose your disguise." Vir nodded and a small projector came out of her head. "First mammal..cat.." A picture of a cat appeared on the screen. "Uh..no..next.." "Dog." Now the picture changed to a dog. "That's...cute but no.." "Next..fox.." Julie blinked. "No..too...funny looking.." "Lemur." A picture of a black and white lemur appeared. Julie flicked her antenna. "...that's cute....you like it?" Vir nodded. "Alright. Lemur it is." Julie pushed a button on her pack and a capsule came from the runner, enclosing Vir. There was a flash of light and the capsule opened, Vir standing there with a black and white lemur suit on. It had a long, skinny tail with black rings and a black tip. The suit had big black ears with red on the inside. It had black arms, legs, and a black circle on her stomach. The suit also had a cute little black nose and big eyes with purple pupils. "That's cute! Alright..now for me.." Julie put her antenna under her hair. "Uhm..that fixes that...but my eyes.." She pushed the same button on her pack and the capsule enclosed her, and when it opened, she had white eye lenses with red pupils, looking much like human eyes. Vir blinked, her suit's tail flicking. "Okay..now for a base.." Julie took out a little electronic sketch pad and doodled a house outline, then rolled it up and put it inside a screw-like object. She then put it on the ground, it boring itself in. "Vir! Back up!" Julie ran back a few meters and stopped, Vir right behind her as her house started forming. After a minute, Julie had a nice base, looking a lot like the other houses of the neighborhood. Julie smiled. "Great! C'mon Vir, let's go get ready for tomorrow." Julie walked into her house, Vir following, shutting the door behind her as they went down into the lab to study the planet.
~Next Day~
"Alright class..quiet down!" Miss Bitters growled, the class getting quiet and turned their attention to jer. Julie blinked, in disguise, and looked up at Miss Bitters slightly. "All of you welcome Julie.." A few of the kids waved, but the rest just ignored her. Julie smiled slightly. "Hi.." One kid, in the first seat of the last row squinted an eye, suspicious of Julie. His name was Dib, and he was very interested in paranormal things, including aliens. She looks..like an alien... he thought to himself, watching her. "Alright Julie...take your seat!" Miss Bitters floated over to her desk. Julie nodded. "Yes Miss Bitters.." She looked around the class and spotted a seat, in front of a girl named Zita and beside another kid named Brian. Dib watched as she went to sit down. Julie felt someone watching her and she glanced in Dib's direction. Dib glared at her slightly, Julie returning the glare but they both snapped their attention forward when Miss Bitters started teaching. "Today's lecture is on the hideousness of love.." She continued on, Julie paying close attention, not really caring how humans showed affection, but just wanted to learn more about this strange species. An hour passed, and it was lunch time. Miss Bitters dismissed the class. Julie stopped by her locker, putting her book away. Dib walked up behnd her as she shut her locker, glaring. Julie sensed someone behind her and turned around. "Uh..hi?.." "You're an alien, aren't you?" Dib crossed his arms, eyes half- closing, trying to intimidate her. Julie blinked, trying hard not to narrow her eyes. "No..why do you say that?" "Because..it's really obvious..green skin?..no ears?..no nose?" He had uncrossed one arm and pointed to where they were supposed to be. "Uh..I'm...from..another country.." Julie smiled slightly. Dib blinked. "Oh c'mon..you're not human...even humans from other countries look like humans!" "..well, I don't." Julie 'hmphed' and turned, walking away. Dib narrowed his eyes, grabbing her by the arm. "Hold it right there, alien!"
Now Julie narrowed her eyes and jerked away, grabbing his shirt collar and lifted him up slightly, despite the fact she was a little shorter than him, maybe not by an inch or two. "Listen here you..I suggest you leave me alone.." Dib growled. "Put me down..-alien-.." Julie snarled and jerked around, slamming Dib into the lockers. Dib winced as his back hit a combination lock. "Alright human..I may not know your name-" "Dib.." Julie's left eye twitched. "Okay..-Dib-...so you know my secret, but like anyone will believe you.." Dib nodded. "They will! I'll reveal you to everyone! Then you'll get captured and experimented on! And I'll be famous!!" Julie lowly growled and looked around before taking out her laser gun. Dib grew a shade paler, seeing the gun. "..you..you're not g-" Dib was cut off, wincing, seeing as Julie had just jammed the tip of the gun into his stomach. "You'll do nothing of the sort..I'd kill you here and now if I wouldn't be blowing my cover.." Julie let go of him, letting drop to the floor as she put her laser away. Dib narrowed his eyes and rubbed his stomach. "..after skool..." Julie glanced at him. "What about after skool?" "We'll settle this..whoever wins gets to do what they want with the loser..agree?" He held out his hand to shake on the deal. Julie looked at his hand, then back up at him and grinned, taking his hand and shaking it. "You just sold your life, foolish human.." She let go of his hand and snickered, speaking Caujon lowly to herself as she walked to the cafeteria. Dib blinked and looked at his hand, then at Julie. "We'll just see about that.."
~After Skool~
Julie walked down the steps of the skool and looked around. Zita and her friend Sara were walking to the bus., and Melvin was somewhat behind them. Julie didn't see Dib so she started walking down the sidewalk. When she neared a tree, Dib suddenly jumped out from behind it and got in her path, blocking it. Julie narrowed her eyes, coming to a stop. "There you are..ready to lose?"
"Why don't you ask yourself that?" Julie grinned, flashing a tooth. "Because I know I'm going to win..it's obvious who's more superior.."
Dib growled. "Yea..me!!" Julie rolled her eyes. "Oh please..let's hurry up and get this over with..I have to get home.." She pulled out her laser and twirled it around in her hand. Dib looked at the laser, then glared back up at her. "Alright..fine with me.." Dib grinned. Julie stood there, watching him. "You move first..don't want to destroy you that easily.." Dib's expression turned stern as he leapt at Julie, trying to knock her down. Julie quickly moved aside, then swung her arm around, hitting Dib in the back of the head with the side of her gun. Dib cried out, a quick reaction to the hit and fell to the ground unconscious. Julie grinned and nudged him with her foot. He twitched slightly but didn't get up. "Well...seems I've won already.." Julie stepped back and pointed her laser to Dib's side. She pulled the trigger, Dib twitching again as he was shot and began to bleed from the quarter size hole. Julie shook her head. "Pathetic human.." She put her laser away and pushed a button, a microphone coming out of her pack. She grabbed it and brought it closer, pushing another button to call Vir. "Vir..come to the skool..I have...a..hostage.." She had looked down at Dib as she said 'hostage'. "Coming!" Julie put the microphone away and looked down at Dib. He was out cold, his side bleeding at a steady rate. His trench and shirt had a nice round hole in them from the shot. Julie kneeled down and took off a glove, putting two fingers right below his ear, on his neck. He still had a heart beat. She put her glove back on as Vir jetted up beside her. She landed next to Julie, blinking at Dib. "Who dat?" "-Dat- is Dib..he's our prisoner.." "Yay!......wuzzat?" Julie rolled her eyes. "Nevermind..help me carry him.." Vir nodded, her little tongue sticking out and she ran to Dib's feet. Julie went to where his head was and grabbed his wrists while Vir got his ankles. "Alright Vir..life and start walking.." They lifted Dib off the ground slowly because of his weight as Julie grunted, struggling to hold him up. They began the slow walk to her base. A few minutes later they were going down the stairs to Julie's lab, still slowly, them both weary from the journey. Vir was panting and Julie was as well, but lightly, both straining to hold the heavy, unconscious human up. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Vir just dropped Dib's feet and fell over panting. Julie let go of his hands and he fell flat, silent and still. His side had stopped bleeding about halfway there. "Jeez....for a human he's heavy.." Julie took off her eye lenses and pulled her antenna out from under her hair. "Whew..that's better...computer, lift the human onto the lab table and clamp him down..don't want him trying to get away.." Claws came down from the ceiling and picked Dib up off the ground, carrying him to the lab table and dropped him on it, little clamps coming out as they clamped around his wrists and ankles to lock him down to the table. Julie sighed and walked over to her computer and plopped down in her computer chair. Vir had finally gotten up and walked over to the lab table, looking up at it. She was a lot shorter than it was, so it seemed huge. She blinked and looked back at Julie. "Master?"
"Yes?..." "Me take suity off now?" "Sure.." Vir smiled, her tongue sticking out again as she unzipped her lemur suit and shook it off. Then she grabbed her suit and ran over to the closet, tossing it in. Julie flicked her antenna, yawning. Vir hopped over and jumped in her lap, curling up and going to sleep. Julie looked down at Vir, then sighed, leaning her head back in the chair, closing her eyes and fell asleep herself.
To be continued...
"Alright..next Invader.." Almighty Red sighed, tired of missions, glad that it was almost over. His brother Purple felt the same way. The last Irken hopped up on the platform. They looked down at the soon-to-be Invader. "Judy..right?"
"Julie, sir.."
"Oh..that's right..you've grown quite a bit! Let's see..what planets are left..." Red floated up to the giant screen behind him, covered with a map of the galaxy. Purple blinked and looked down at Julie.
She was one of the medium-sized Irkens, three foot, two inches tall. She had purple hair down to her mid-back, with bangs stopping right above her red eyes. She had on a sky blue t-shirt, but it cut off at the shoulders because of a light blue circle, kind of like a ring, went around her arm. From her shoulder down was a skin tight silver jump suit like sleeve, with tiny black circles, three to be exact, going down until the end of her hand.

They were light blue and flared out slightly from her knees down. She also had black boots, with purple socks underneath that weren't visible. Her pack was sky blue with light blue spots. She had a necklace as well, a sort of choker. It had a gold medallion attached to a sky blue band that went all the way around her neck. Right below that where her shirt started was another light blue ring for the collar of her shirt.
"Purple.." Purple looked back and floated over to Red. "Yeah?" Red leaned over closer to whisper. "I don't want to give her a major planet.." Purple blinked. "..why not?"
"I don't trust her..let's give her that mystery planet.." Red pointed to a yellow sticky-note, to the right of the board. Purple lowered his antenna slightly but jerked them up as Red turned back to him for assurance.
"Uh..sure..." Purple faked a smile and Red nodded, turning to Julie. Julie jumped into attention, now seeing that theirs was on her. "Uh..we have a secret mission for you Judy-"
"Julie.."
"Oh..right..well anyway, there's your planet.." He pointed to the sticky-note again. Julie's antenna raised, liking the sound of it. "What's its name?" Red flicked an antenna. "Uhm..it's secret!

"You know SIR..I really don't like calling you that..let's come up with a different name.." The SIR blinked. "Okei.." "Lesse..Jir? No....Mir? Uh-uh...oh! I know! Vir!" The SIR blinked again. "Wuzza V for?" "Uhm...virtual..yeah! Virtual Intelligence Robot. Vir's your name!" Vir smiled. "Okedday!" Julie smiled as well and set the runner on cruise, it turned in the correct direction and she laid back in her seat, sighing. Vir slumped down in her seat as well.

Vir blinked, her eyes turning red again. "Lots of animals..mammals, reptiles, and amphibians." Julie nodded. "Continue.." "Mammals seen were cat, dog, fox, lemur, panther-" "That's enough..we'll stay with those..show me pictures of them and then we'll choose your disguise." Vir nodded and a small projector came out of her head. "First mammal..cat.." A picture of a cat appeared on the screen. "Uh..no..next.." "Dog." Now the picture changed to a dog.

"Alright class..quiet down!" Miss Bitters growled, the class getting quiet and turned their attention to jer. Julie blinked, in disguise, and looked up at Miss Bitters slightly.

Dib growled. "Yea..me!!" Julie rolled her eyes. "Oh please..let's hurry up and get this over with..I have to get home.." She pulled out her laser and twirled it around in her hand. Dib looked at the laser, then glared back up at her. "Alright..fine with me.." Dib grinned. Julie stood there, watching him. "You move first..don't want to destroy you that easily.." Dib's expression turned stern as he leapt at Julie, trying to knock her down. Julie quickly moved aside, then swung her arm around, hitting Dib in the back of the head with the side of her gun. Dib cried out, a quick reaction to the hit and fell to the ground unconscious. Julie grinned and nudged him with her foot. He twitched slightly but didn't get up. "Well...seems I've won already.." Julie stepped back and pointed her laser to Dib's side. She pulled the trigger, Dib twitching again as he was shot and began to bleed from the quarter size hole. Julie shook her head. "Pathetic human.." She put her laser away and pushed a button, a microphone coming out of her pack. She grabbed it and brought it closer, pushing another button to call Vir. "Vir..come to the skool..I have...a..hostage.." She had looked down at Dib as she said 'hostage'. "Coming!" Julie put the microphone away and looked down at Dib. He was out cold, his side bleeding at a steady rate. His trench and shirt had a nice round hole in them from the shot. Julie kneeled down and took off a glove, putting two fingers right below his ear, on his neck. He still had a heart beat. She put her glove back on as Vir jetted up beside her. She landed next to Julie, blinking at Dib. "Who dat?" "-Dat- is Dib..he's our prisoner.." "Yay!......wuzzat?" Julie rolled her eyes. "Nevermind..help me carry him.." Vir nodded, her little tongue sticking out and she ran to Dib's feet. Julie went to where his head was and grabbed his wrists while Vir got his ankles. "Alright Vir..life and start walking.." They lifted Dib off the ground slowly because of his weight as Julie grunted, struggling to hold him up. They began the slow walk to her base. A few minutes later they were going down the stairs to Julie's lab, still slowly, them both weary from the journey. Vir was panting and Julie was as well, but lightly, both straining to hold the heavy, unconscious human up. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Vir just dropped Dib's feet and fell over panting. Julie let go of his hands and he fell flat, silent and still. His side had stopped bleeding about halfway there. "Jeez....for a human he's heavy.." Julie took off her eye lenses and pulled her antenna out from under her hair. "Whew..that's better...computer, lift the human onto the lab table and clamp him down..don't want him trying to get away.." Claws came down from the ceiling and picked Dib up off the ground, carrying him to the lab table and dropped him on it, little clamps coming out as they clamped around his wrists and ankles to lock him down to the table. Julie sighed and walked over to her computer and plopped down in her computer chair. Vir had finally gotten up and walked over to the lab table, looking up at it. She was a lot shorter than it was, so it seemed huge. She blinked and looked back at Julie. "Master?"
"Yes?..." "Me take suity off now?" "Sure.." Vir smiled, her tongue sticking out again as she unzipped her lemur suit and shook it off. Then she grabbed her suit and ran over to the closet, tossing it in. Julie flicked her antenna, yawning. Vir hopped over and jumped in her lap, curling up and going to sleep. Julie looked down at Vir, then sighed, leaning her head back in the chair, closing her eyes and fell asleep herself.
