Hello readers, It has been a really long time since I had updated this story and I want to apologize for that, so I'm going to try to update each chapter more consistently over the summer. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Int Human Cell

After Dib had finished his story, they all sat there staring at eachother for a couple of minutes in the silence just letting their thoughts rolled out in their heads. They all just stared at themselves and the people around them back until the silence was finally broken.

Dib: So what did you think of the story, was it something really interesting ?

Leela: The story was kinda interesting, felt very rushed and convoluted towards the ending, but interesting to listen too. As nice it was we really need to focus on the big issue right now is that escaping this prison and stopping those Irks from creating a universal invasion. Dib can you tell us any of the weakness we can use.

Dib: I know that the biggest weakness of the irken is being exposed to water, where just a little of it would be able to burn their skin unless they are wearing paste on themselves, but right now that not exactly going to help us escape this prison cell. Trust me I had been trying for a long time.

Bender: Hmm, maybe I have something in my compartment that can help us escape. [Bender opens his compartment door pulling random things out of it, as he says it out loud]. Stolen diamond, beer bottle, Fry's wallet, tape recorder, and Jhonen Vasquez's head.

Jhonen Vasquez's Head: [Staring straightly at Dib] Hey you look…[He was put back into Bender's compartment before he could finish his sentence]

Dib: Man the future you guys live in is very strange

As Bender was going through the list of what he had inside of his compartment, Leela just sighed in annoyance since none of the items he was carrying was going to be able to break them out. Finally Leela had hatched an idea and went to explain it to everyone.

Leela: Okay everyone I came up with an idea to get us out of this human prison cell. Bender due to you being the only piece of technology we have, you're going to be a major part of the plan. Were going to use the speaker system inside of Bender loud enough to catch the attention of the SIR robots upstairs and we'll modify the voice to make it sound like an Irken so they follow our commands. Any questions?

Dib: How do you know that any of this is going to work, do you even know I thought you established that his only function is bending things?

Bender: We robots are allowed to do more than what they were programed as their primary function is, you meatbag. Infact, this bending unit robot is actually 40% amplified speaker system

Fry: You were never 40% amplified speaker system

Bender: Not until now, since this writer needs an easy out on this situation

Dib: Okay, but do you even have a voice modifier on that system. Also this seems like a very flawed and not really thought out plan. What if the Irkens were to hear us trying to escape with the speaker or something like that.

Leela: [Speaking only to Dib] Dib I know that you probably lost all of your confidence being forcibly down here for hundreds of years, but I believe that we can work out with this plan despite all odds being against us. [Speaking to everyone else] Okay to make this plan work we are going to you some slight reprogramming Bender to be able to modify your voice

Bender: Is this going to hurt me at all, because I'm not fine with being hurt with you.

Leela: Yeah, it may hurt you a little [Leela proceed to open Bender's compartment door while finishing her sentence]

As Leela went and tried to reprogram Bender's system, he went to scream in agony as she was moving circuits around. While doing both Dib and Fry stared at Leela reprogramming Bender with very freighted looks as they really couldn't turn away since the cell was too small for them to do that. Finally after she was done all they could hear was Bender panting very loudly, only made louder by the echoing in the cell.

Bender: [Still panting from the pain just given to him] Never do that to me again Leela was that very painful, now I have to drink this last beer to take my mind off that pain [ Pull out a full beer bottle and drinks the entire thing] *blech* So what were we talking about ?

Leela: Bender I apologize for giving you so much pain from reprogramming you, I didn't think it would hurt you that bad. But now you need to turn on your speaker system right now and turn on the voice modifier on Irken mode.

Bender: Okay will do what you just said [ Proceeds to follow the instructions just given to by Leela][Goes to whisper to Fry] Hey can you tell me what she is apologizing for ?

Bender then pulled out his speaker and went to turn it on. Since the cartridge holding the speaker and microphone took a full minute to come out they all stood there silently waiting for it. When the full speaker set was laid out on him, Leela proceed to grab the microphone and speak through it.

Leela: [On the microphone] SIR Bots this is Irken ummmm…. Ump. Come down to the prison and unleashed the three human prisoners and the robot that is with them. [ Off the microphone] Did that sound good guys, I don't know if it sound good

Dib: Yeah, that sounded convincing enough and you're pretty lucky enough that there is actually an Irken named Ump or we would had been screwed

Just a few moments after Leela got off the speaker, they all heard another speaker go off. They all listened to it, hoping it wasn't any Irkens that had heard them. Before there was any clear audio off of it it just sounded like static until something finally spoke.

Speaker: This is SIR bot 8225021, we heard your message Irken Ump and we are coming down to rescue you in a few minutes, don't move

After everyone heard that message everyone had got excited that their plan actually worked and cheered that they were being rescued. After a moment everyone went silent as they thought that something wasn't right. Then they all seen Dib's concern face and they knew something was wrong.

Dib: Umm guys, I don't think that was a SIR bot that had just responded to our message. The voice didn't seem artificial enough to be any robot.

Right after he had manage to finish his sentence, they started to hear footsteps coming right towards them. As the steps got louder they were able to hear a muffled voice outside of the cell. Finally the door had open to reveal an Irken guard in front of them with a SIR bot right by his side in duty mode.

Irken Guard: So Irken Ump, how did you end up with these dumb human prisoners, you know there suppose to be alon….[The guard has his sentence interrupted when Leela had kicked him unconscious]

Without wasting a moment, Fry, Leela, Bender, and Dib had ran out of the cell into the very narrow hallway of the Irken prison. As soon as they left the hallway the alarms immediately went off noticing their presence to the entire Irken empire. Before anyone could had caught them they managed to sneak into a little closet

Dib: Well it was awesome how you kicked that Irken completely unconscious, but all you did was alert our presence of escaping the cell and put us into an even smaller space than before

Leela: Look everyone, I had manage to get a signal here and it shows that our ship has been stolen only an hour ago, so that means most of the Irkens had escape, I suppose. So we're gonna have to sneak around until we find any ships to get us off this planet.

Fry: What if we get caught by them, they'll just throw us back into the jail or kill us

Leela: Well the objective here Fry is to not get caught, so we'll have to move very stealthy to not alert our presence to the others. [Leela looks around the room to notice something was missing] Hey where did Bender go

Bender: [Opening the door] Hey while you guys were talking nonsense, I slip out the door and killed the few remaining Irks and found a remaining spaceship which I just hijack

Leela: Or we can just do what Bender just did, also you manage to do that within the few minutes we were in this closet

Bender: Yep, you can thank me later or now. Now lets goes you meatbags

Then they all ran out of the tiny closet and upstairs into the main hall of the empire building. As they all ran upstairs as the entire building look pretty deserted from what it look like several hours ago. The only thing really left besides from empty rooms were some of the blood and corpses of the Irks that Bender manage to kill several minutes ago. Finally they got to the escape pad floor.

Dib: Wow, I can't believe it. I'm finally going to be able to leave this planet and not be a prisoner here anymore. I just want to thanks you guys for helping me escape

Leela: Were not exactly safe yet since now they are going to invade all of the planets and try to take over the universe. With our terrible space military system *Cough* Zapp Brannigan *Cough* , I doubt that they would be able to protect us from invasion.

Dib: Way to be a mood killer on the dude who just escape being a prisoner for 900 years

After that they all went to abroad the tiny spaceship Bender had manage to snag for them, most irken spaceships can only hold 3 people at a time, but before they could they heard a little sound coming from the pod outside. They looked outsides the window to see if they were being followed from anyone else. They all went back outside to investigate on what the noise was, to find that there was one more Irken left on the planet.

Dib: *GASP*, Guys get back on the ship now before he see us

Leela: Dib who are you talking about

Dib: My mortal enemy, the creature that I was trying to protect Earth from when I was a kid, the one who taunted me. Invader Zim

Zim: DIB IS THAT YOU !

That is the end of chapter 4 everyone. Sorry again that it took so long and I hope that I can get chapter 5 out before the end of July. From now one Zim is going to be having a role in this story and we are going to learn the history of what had happen within the last 900 years. Also sorry that I left on a cliff hanger. So read and review your thoughts and tell me what you think and I'll see you guys next chapter.
