I stood behind the Almighty Tallest as the invaders were assigned to their missions.
The first was the tallest of the "to-be invaders."
His name was Lakn, and he was always admired by the girls in training.
He was assigned to planet Glut, the planet made entirely of food.
The next up was… oh how pitiful.
It was Lena, the shortest of us.
She was assigned the planet egged, the most foul-smelling planet in the galaxy.
I almost felt bad for her.
Now it was my turn.
I walked up to the Tallest.
I was about average size, so I knew they weren't gonna send me somewhere really bad.
They weren't going to send me anywhere really good either.
But... being the close to the Tallest was a little unnerving.
I snapped back to reality, horrified as I realized that tallest Red was speaking to me.
"Taz? Taz? Invader Taz? You seem to have stopped breathing…" he said.
"My apologies, my Almighty Tallests. Your amazingness must have unnerved me." I said, my face turning a dark shade of green.
I was so embarrassed.
"Yes, yes." Said Tallest Purple, "Anyway, we have decided to assign you to planet Earth"
"p-planet Earth?" I asked, "Isn't that where the Irken Invader commonly known as Zim currently resides?"
"Yes. We will explain your mission to you during your first report." Said Tallest Red.
"But…but my Tallest-"I said.
"Do you not appreciate this mission that your almighty leaders have assigned to you?" asked Purple in a threatening tone.
My antennae fell. "Good, now go stand over there." He said, pointing to the spot where Lakn and Lena stood.
I walked over at the Tallest introduced the rest.
I watched, trying hard to keep a straight face.
I forgot the name of the Irken after me.
I think it started with an "A"
She was maybe an inch or two taller than me.
There had been many rumors that she talked to herself, but other than that, she was pretty fashionable.
She'd even altered her uniform, making it actually look pretty good.
And I liked her antennae.
All I could think about was how I had to go on a journey that would take half of a year, to a planet with the shortest and clumsiest Irken ever!
I mean, he even destroyed half of Irk in Operation Impending Doom One!
Lakn saw how worked up I was getting.
He grinned and winked at me and I blushed, my face once again darkening in shade.
We had always been partners in training, and the other females hated me for it.
They always fainted, lost focus, or just went crazy when he tried to work with them.
Also, we weren't allowed to have teammates of the same gender.
Finally the last Irken was introduced.
Now it was time to get a SIR unit.
