OK, so this is my first fan fiction It's based on this role-play I'm a part of right now, so, despite my previous wishes for my first fanfic, I can't put it all up at once. Please don't be too critical with reviews as, again, this is my first fan fiction.

Link to the RP this is based on:

Gir must be messing with my computer or something because the link won't show up correctly. Does anyone know how the fix that?

Demonica was created by me, Tex, Rue, and Tez by Zero, Invaders Katsumi and Erin by Krazyfrog360, Dr. Veana by Invader X, and Invader TayTay by TheTayTay

There, I gave credit to the creators of the Ocs and asked their permission before making this, now it's not plagerism. Yay!

It was a cold planet. About a month ago, a small colony of Irkens was established on this recently-discovered planet. That planet's name is Zinrob. We are the colonists. Earlier, we sent off two of out group to explore a small part of the planet and report back. Approximately three hours after they set out, there was a violent quaking and an electromagenetic pulse swept over the planet's surface, leaving all our machinery and equipment incapacitated, including our ships and Paks inoperable for about five minutes. Not long enough to kill us, but we will be weak for a while. Upon awakening, we found most of our equipment damaged. Miraculously, everyone's all right. Nothing is known of what happened to Rue and Tez, the two we sent off exploring.. All communications are down, even to the Tallest. We are stranded.

I am Demonica, approximately 18 in Earth years with pink eyes and elaborately curled antennas. I had just been coming into the control room from outside when the wave hit, so I was still wearing by dark purple coat and black snow-pants and lying by the outside door. I'm the colony's computer and electric technician.

Dr. Veana was in the doorway to the medical wing, she's the colony's doctor. She has white eyes and the generic black-and-white uniform of Irken doctors. She's almost as tell as the Tallest and has always wanted to be an invader, but she's still in training. This is her "real-life experience" of a sort. She must have been just coming back in from the medical wing when the pulse hit.

Invaders Katsumi and Erin are in the center of the room. Katsumi is about 21 in Earth-years. He has an odd phenomenon that causes his antennas to be blue rather then black. He has on his red jacket and snow-pants and a blue winter hat. He's in love with Erin. Erin is about 20 Earth-years. She also has blue antennas. She's wearing her pink jacket and snow-pants and a purple hat. They both opposed Operation Impending Doom 2, but were sent here anyway. It's hard to argue with the control brains.

Tex won't tell us her age, but we think she's about in her 20s. She has blue eyes and curled antennas. She's wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt and black pants with blue boots. She was the first to be chosen for this mission. She's slightly insane, so she and I get along well. She can think outside the box and, despite her unpredictability at times, she's a great team player, a great friend, and is known for her outrageous ideas. She's over by the computers.

TayTay doesn't talk much. She's over in the corner. She's about 16 Earth-years. She has blue eyes and her left antenna is crooked. She's wearing black snow-pants and a light blue coat and a darker vest over it with metal shoulder pads. She's an ex-invader, fired because of her short height and odd behavior. After they fired her, they found out she was also defective. She was sent to the colony to keep her under control and away from anything she could mess up.

I sat up, somehow I had ended up on the floor. My head was pounding. I must have hit it on something during the quake I thought. Everything was blurry, but it came into focus quickly. I looked around. The lights were off, the computers were black. The quake must have taken out the generators. I can probably fix those before everyone gets up, I thought. When I came back everyone was awake. "What happened?" I asked, "how damaged is everything? Is everyone all right? Has anyone checked on Rue and Tez?"

Rue and Tez were the missing colony members who had been sent out to scout the area.

"An electromagnetic pulse is what happened," Dr. Veana said angrily. She's known to be snappish and stubborn.

Tex stood up and surveyed the damage. A few things knocked over, everything else seemed fine. She turned to the computers and tried to reboot them. Nothing. "The computers are down, but I can't tell how badly they're damaged. I'm not the computer specialist here," she said.

"Let me take a look, maybe I can get them started..." I said, moving to stand next to Tex. My head was still throbbing. I began to furiously type on the keyboard. Blue screen, dang, these might never come back on now... "I might have to open up the computer towers, take a look at the wires, the graphics cards..." I rambled about computer parts.

"What about the ships?" Tex suddenly cut in, interrupting my ramblings. "Are they still operational? Will we be able to get off the planet in we need to?"

"You might want to worry about Rue and Tez first, Tex. Ummm, I think I might be able to get one computer running within the next hour if I focus on one and leave the rest for later. The rest will take longer. If someone takes a look at the ships and tells me how badly they're broken, I might be able to get them to at least fly, though I'm better with computers so they won't be fully operational." I said, still working on the computer.

"OK. I'll go check," said Tex as she grabbed a coat and made her way outside to the docking bay. Ten minutes later she returned. "I certainly am no computer genius, but the ships appear to be inoperable. Is everyone all right?"

"Hopefully, 'Cause I don't want to take care of anyone with all of this excitement going on," Said Dr. Veana.

"By excitement, I hope you mean lots of work," retorted Tex. "Because it looks like we're going to have our hands full." Then, something occurred to her. "We're missing two of our people! They were out exploring during the quake!"

"All right, give me about half-an-hour to forty-five minutes and I can have one computer running order, not everything will work though, as I'm not a mechanical expert, but I do have enough knowledge to at least get them running in a sort-of OK condition so we can go look for your missing teammates." I said as I continued to work in the computer. "I just need to run a diagnostic to see exactly what's the matter, check out the hard drive, the graphics card..." I continued to ramble about computer parts again.

"All right, all right," said Tex, before I could go on about computer parts again. She thought for a moment. "I wonder why our Paks weren't damaged by the pulse. And maybe that means that our radios are still working..." As she said this, an arm protruded from her Pak, and she clutched the small radio attached to its end. "Rue, Tez, can you hear me?" There was only static. "Hmmmm...Demonica? Do you think you could try contacting me through your radio? I want to see if there's something wrong with all or ours, just mine, or if something's wrong with Rue and Tez's."

"They could be dead if there wasn't any cover out there!" Dr. Veana exclaimed.

"Huh? Oh, right, let me try them first, make sure it's not just yours that's broken," I said, extending my radio from my Pak, "Rue, Tez, come in, are you there? Can you hear me?" Static. "Huh, it might be theirs, or both of ours are broken, well, let me call yours." I changed the setting to call Tex, "Testing, testing..." an echo came from Tex's Pak. "So obviously it's theirs that are broken and not ours. So," Back to working a the computer now, "As soon as I get this computer up, we can access their tracking systems in their Paks and see where...they...are..." I slowly trailed off.

"Well, I guess there's nothing for me to do around here, so I'll just go to my quarters, that is if I still have any quarters," Dr. Veana started to walk off.

"Wait! Don't leave yet! I have this computer in semi-operational order, but I'll need to turn it on to finish fixing it. There's no telling what will happen when I turn it on, I may be electrocuted and in need of your superior medical knowledge," I said after connecting a wire to its respective port in the computer.

Everyone waited a moment as I turned on the computer. The monitor blinked on with a faint wiring, but no electrical discharge or explosions.

"Well, you're still here, and you aren't on fire or anything, so I'd say that you did it. Congrats. Now, what next? I know I'm just the Archivist,and I only know how to navigate my portable computer, but is there anything you'd like me to do?"

"Well, in a minute or two, I require some help. Do you know how to access the tracking ships in rue and Tez?" I asked Tex.

While this conversation was going on, Dr. Veana left for her quarters.

"I can try," replied Tex, neither of us noticing Dr. Veana's absence. Tex sat down at the computer next to me and started fiddling with some strange device that she had pulled out of her Pak. "they aren't showing up anywhere. I'm not receiving either of their signals." She looked up at me, "Either their tracking chips are damaged, or they're dead." A solemn look crossed our faces for a moment.

So we're going to need to send out a search party. Now I need to get the ships up and running (as best I can, of course, I've explained this before). I'll need our toolbox and any of you who have technological abilities," I said, heading for the docking bay.

"Well, I took a course in engineering a while back, I'll see what..." just then, the ground began to shake again. The lights flickered, but after a moment, the shaking stopped, and they came back on again. "It must be an aftershock," said Tex. "Curious, there was no pulse this time..." Tex snapped back to reality. "All right, let's go," she said, grabbing the toolbox. "All right, I'm coming Demonica!" Tex shouted from the doorway to the docking bay. She turned back to face TayTay, "Are you coming, TayTay, or do you want to stay here with Dr. Veana?"

TayTay had been standing there watching the computer repairs while trying to reorient herself with everything since the quake. "Oh, uhhh, I'll go with you guys! I'm not great with computers," she followed us.

Okay, let's go!" Tex recollected when we had first landed (more like crashed) on this planet, and how TayTay had been piloting. "Once we get this thing working,I'm driving!" she added quickly.

Dr. Veana came into the room with a strange note book and said in a quiet voice, "you're going to need a doctor."

Shocked, everyone turned to gaze at Dr. Veana. In their recent memories, non of us could recall her ever volunteering for anything. Tex recovered from the silence first. "Well, we'd better get moving then."

Dr. Veana looked briefly into her hand, then put the book in her Pak.

"I guess we should hurry up and get to the ships, that quake might mean another pulse is coming, and if we don't get the ships off the ground by then, we might never be able to fix them!" I said quickly as I ran for the docking bay.

"Wait!" shouted Tex, "We're going to need to bring some suits for when we go outside!" Tex grabbed enough suits for everyone and jumped into the nearest ship with the others. Once inside, she looked about at the various gadgets. "Well," she said, "It looks like this thing-a-mo-bobbber goes with this what-cha-ma-all-it..." her voice trailed off as she tried to start the engine the proper way. Her three companions were too amused to offer any suggestions. "Oh, to heck with it!" Exclaimed Tex, ripping out some wires and hot wiring the vehicle. The engine groaned to life, and Tex took hold of the controls. They lifted out of the docking bay, barely missing the still-opening doors, and whirred through the air at a dangerous speed, doing ungraceful loops that were perhaps unintentional, and all the while, Tex laughed maniacally.
