Aurthors Note: Thanks Invader Johnny and OhHowDelightfullyDreadful for reviewing. When I re-read chapter one I noticed it was a little, mom, dbutane some things weren't really needed but I think I've avoided it here for now I can move the plot forward. And thanks to all who are following. Enjoy!
Red stepped into the portal to see a barren wasteland. He looked around to see what he thought to be a ship.
"So where are we" he asked already bored
The technician typed into his keypad
"Sir we are in the future...about three years into it"
"I wasn't asking for the date, I want to know our exact location" said Red a little agitated
"Oh, where in..."
The technicians eyes widen at the location
"Sir were in The massive" he said shocked
"That can'tbe right" said one of the Irken Elite. The group looked around to soon recognize it was indeed The Massive.
"Ok" said Red "You and you investigate"
"Which ones" said the trio
"Just state your names" said Red to lazy point
"Irken Elite Hak" he said
"Irken Elite Kro" she said
"Technician Krip" he said
"Kro, Hak go investigate, eh, whatever you would investigate, and Krip, guard the portal"
They all acknowledged there orders before moving on, Red however had a different goal in mind. He walked down the halls before approaching his grand bedroom. The door was already gone so he simply walked in. He dug under the bed before finding what he was looking for...a stash of snacks. Yep he could careless about The Massive, the snacks were the important think.
Krip was guarding the portal, spooked by his surroundings. He was trying to analyze what brought down the seemly invincible ship. He stopped when he heard some ruffling in the corner.
"You know you'll have to try harder to scare me" he said, eyes still keypad.
As he typed he swore he heard clinging, metal hitting metal, but the noise was barely noticeable. He looked around, attempting to find the source of the noise.
"Hello?"
...
His eyes averted back to the keypad before he faintly heard a noise, the sound of a robot lowering itself. He swung his head to see three glowing red eyes at him.
"Ahahahah! Hak, k-"
He attempted to communicate before he felt something shoot and shock him to the point his Pak overloaded and he blacked out. The hidden robot swooped him up before retreating to the shadows.
Meanwhile Red was stuffing himself until finding he was out of snacks
"I wonder where Purple keeps his" he thought to himself.
He looked further from the bed to see a giant lump.
"Oh course the obvious place" he mentally said
He reached over to pull the cover but instead of finding snacks, he found bones with purplish amour. He inspected it closely before realizing he was holding Purples breastplate. He dropped it disgust.
"Ok time to go" he mentally said, noting wanting to be in the future anymore.
"Kr-eh what's his name? Ah screw it, DRONE MAKE SURE THAT PORTAL IS OPEN!" He shouted through his communicator
All he received was static. He then heard a giant cling. His antennas perked up trying to find what it was. He thought it was a box or something that fell before he could hear something attempting to move silently.
"If this is a joke, I'm going to throw you all out the airlock!" He said attempting to sound brave but fear was within his voice. The noise soon stopped and before he could turn around he felt something, like a needle, plunge into his arm. He was about to react before feeling a wave of weakness got him. He soon fell to the floor, unable to maintain balance while hovering. He couldn't move a muscle now. The fear grow more as his eyes attempted to find what the hell just happened. But then he slowly started to lose conscious and the last thing he felt was being swooped into the air.
...
Kro and Hak were busy raiding The Massives snack pods. As far as they knew, the Tallest would be doing the same.
"That's odd" said Kro
"What?" Said Hak, his mouth trying fit every snack it could take.
"I've lost our Tallest and Krips location" she said puzzled
"Eh maybe it's broken"
"Since when is Irken technology broken?"
"We'll maybe it was built by Zim?"
They both laughed before hearing something move.
"You hear that" said Hak before pulling out a blaster
"Sounds like were not the only ones here" she said turning on her electro-staff
Being the Elite they could easily detect everything around them, trained to use their hearing to the extreme when light was lacking.
Hak was trying to pin-point the sound before sensing something rise from the pile of snacks. He immediately turned his foot and fired a few shots. The clinging could be heard when it crashed to the floor. The two Irkens crept closer to see what it was.
"An Irken probe?" Said Hak bewildered
You really didn't see probes within the army, being exclusively available to Invaders only, used only to collect surrounding information before the Armada came. Suddenly they could hear a lot more clanking, metal walking on metal.
"We need to leave, NOW!" Shouted Kro. Hak didn't need to be reminded after he saw many Red eyes looking down at them. The duo ran.
So where we running too" said Hak, clueless
"Back to the portal of course" she yelled in between breaths.
By this point a million legs were echoing around them. They approached the entrance to the bridge but a probe dropped right in front of them and let out a hissing noise.
"Whoa" said Hak a little imitated by this.
But Kro wielded her Electro-staff before throwing it with pin-point accuracy severing the head of the probe who fell with a thud. They made their way to the portal before someone came thrashing from the other side. Out of habit they immediately saluted Tallest Purple, temporary forgetting why they were even running.
"Where's Red" he demanded sipping his drink
"Sir we have to get out of here" said Hak as he could hear metal legs moving at a rapid pace.
"Why?" Said Purple oblivious to all around him
"Sir we are being attacked by-"
"Ha, like what?" Said Purple jokingly
Another two Irken guards emerged from the portal
"Tell them to bring on it, I've got protection" said Purple
Then as if on cue, a probe came thrashing down, killing the two guards on impact. Purple droped his drink before turning to see the machine. Of course he stared at these many times but this time it was going to kill him. Purple stood like an idiot, paralyzed with fear, before Kro grabbed him in time before the probe swung at them.
Hak fired at it bringing it down with ease. A few more dropped from above, surrounding them. Purple curled up with fear, whilst Kro and Hak were in fighting stances. A probe leapt at Kro who impaled it while another one jumped and skid towards Hak who fired its head off. Drool then hit Hak who looked up to see Tallest Red, who was motionless, just drooling as the probe climbed to the roof.
"Kro, the Tallest!" Shouted Hak. Kro attempted to throw her staff but a probe ran itself into her. She put up her staff, as two metal legs attempted to kill her. She pushed back but knew she couldn't hold it back much longer as its four remaining legs gave it extra strength over her. She then drew out her Pak legs and fired at its head.
Meanwhile Hak was climbing with his own Pak legs attempting to reach Tallest Red. He already brought down two probes trying to stop him and was near the one that had Red. However he failed to notice a probe flying itself into a head-on collusion and by time he took notice he felt his bones being crushed under the pressure and fell from the roof, hitting the floor extremely hard, not helping his situation at all. His body was beating with pain, and his numerous broken bones made him unable to move.
A probe moved itself near him. He looked up to see one of its claws rise over him.
"So this is how it ends" he mentally thought.
As he prepared to accept his demise, a laser shot brought down the probe.
He tried to turn his head to see what happened but couldn't for his neck was broken.
"Is he still alive" said a voice
"Yea but he needs medical attention, the Pak won't be able to heal everything." Said another. He looked to see two, um, he couldn't tell, blackness was enclosing around him.
...
Kro was busy trying to chase down the Probe with Red. Right now she was on the roof. Two probes were left. As she attempted to strike one down, it fired a missile at her. It didn't hit her, but shards of the metal from the roof struck her down. She lost balance and fell from the roof.
"Dam it, I failed" was all she thought as the air around her became ice cold, she could fell herself gathering speed and braced herself for the impact soon to come, only it never did when someone intercepted her and rolled onto a broken section of The Massive.
"Are you ok?" The stranger asked
She was stunned before regaining her composure.
"Yes I'm find" she said a little more sternly then she meant to. She grabbed her staff, focusing on the rescuing the Tallest.
"Your friend is already gone" said the stranger
She looked to the sky to see the probes flying away from them. Then the feeling most Irkens dread came...failure. She was the Irken Elite, suppose to accomplish any task that others could not. She then took noticed to her wounds, as a wave of fatigue came over her. She looked over to the stranger. He was dressed in all black, wearing high tech goggles, the lens like a bluish black. But what she noticed more was his scythe like hair.
"Who are you?" She said felling weaker
"Names Dib Membrane" he said reaching out a hand. However Kro merely fell to the ground, to weak to even pay attention.
...
The probes were flying across barren waste lands before reaching an industrial sized city. Thick black smoke was being pumped from the many smoke stacks. Within this city, lied many species of aliens. Irkens, Vortians, Humans, Meekrob, and others, all having electro-collars around their necks. They were all performing different duties.
The probes continued to fly towards a particular area, a giant crater, but within it lied a whole underground world, were many slaved away expanding it. Irken Probes stood watch, electrifying those who resisted.
"Riot in section 13" said a computer voice. A few probes from the skies came down, firing upon those who were foolish enough to challenge them.
"Never mine" said the computer as the probes flew back up to the sky.
The two probes landed on a landing pad before dropping Red down. A few SIRs came to pick him up.
By this point Red regained conscious but was still paralyzed. The SIRs walked towards an elevator before going down. Red then found himself in an even further underground lab.
"Sir!" Said one of the machines saluting.
Red looked up to see a pair of double doors revealing someone he never thought would be behind those doors. If he cold speak or yell he would but he couldn't.
"That's funny, I thought I killed you"
