In case there was any question, (I forgot to address this last time) Shadi is an OC as well as the upcoming Reggie.


Chapter 6: Not So Friendly Fire

: On the Furon Mothership :

Crypto and Zim had been trying to look up any information the Mothership data banks had on the Majestic. It wasn't much.

"Is this everything you have?" Zim asked, looking through the sparse information.

"Hey, we just got here. What about you?" Crypto asked smugly.

"Well, I've never had to deal with these infernal Majestic people!" Zim exclaimed.

Crypto smirked, "Looks like someone wasn't doing a very good job."

"QUIET!" Zim cried. "I'm trying to do something..."

: Majestic Office :

Silhouette and Shadi sat in their spybug-free room. The two Majestic agents talked about the Irken and Furon threats. Shadi pulled out a copy of the files on Crypto and Zim. She had a lot of information on the Irkens in general as well. (Shadi had once been with the Swollen Eyeball network as Agent Twilight Specter. She had worked with Dib on one of his stake outs.)

"So why are you so interested about this stuff? It's not much…" Shadi shrugged.

"Because I need to convince the President to increase our budget, and what better way than proving that we have two threats instead of one," Silhouette smirked. "That Dib kid was like hitting a jackpot."

"So you're only using him? That's so underhanded and devious!" Shadi smirked, "I like that about you."

"I know… So anymore information I don't know about?" Silhouette asked.

"Nope. Everything Dib knows, I know. Everything I know, you probably have memorized."

"Great. The President is sure to give us a budget increase, and you know what a budget increase means." Silhouette sighed, "I love working for the government."

Shadi paused before she left the room, "Do you think the Earth is ready for a possible attack?"

"I think we could handle it, yes…" Silhouette nodded. "Why?"

"I was just curious. The more I hear, the more I doubt…"

With her last remark, Shadi left Silhouette to her thoughts. Silhouette would never let this out to the public, but she, herself, would certainly agree with her trusted companion. If the others of Majestic heard about this, they would can her ass faster than Crypto or Zim could lose their temper. After looking through the new files Shadi brought her, Silhouette pulled out a tape recorder from her desk and pressed record.

"3:10 a.m. I have just finished talking with Shadi. She has given me some new information on the Irken race. One thing that concerns me is the Irken Armada. A fleet this large could pose a large problem. On top of THAT, we have to worry about the Furon Mothership. I just hope that the Majestic and possibly the Swollen Eyeball are prepared for such an attack."

She stopped recording and sighed as she looked up to the dark morning sky. She thought of Crypto and Zim.

'At least those two hate each other enough to not team up, or we'd be in serious trouble,' Silhouette thought. (Remember, she wasn't there when they made the truce.)

Just then, Shadi burst into the room with a bit of shock in her eyes. Silhouette looked at her.

"There's been a security breach," Shadi said.

"Who broke in?" Silhouette asked concernedly.

"They didn't break into the building..." Shadi gave her a serious look.

Then Silhouette understood what she meant. She ran down the hallways following Shadi to the scene of the crime.

: In the Computer Lab :

Silhouette burst in and scared the man sitting at the computer desk out of his wits. He spun around and nervously greeted her. The blonde guy pushed up his glasses with his shaking hands.

"S-S-Silhouette, please don't hurt me! I don't know what happened! It was like a ghost came into the system and started to copy all of the stuff onto their databanks!"

"Reggie, spare me your version of the truth. Can you trace the source of this "ghost"?" Silhouette asked.

"No, that's why I called it a GHOST, as if that wasn't obvious. But I can tell you that it came from a source not of the Earth's technology," Reggie replied.

Silhouette growled and then yelled, "DAMN YOU, CRYPTO!"

: Back on the Furon Mothership :

Crypto looked around, "Did you hear something?"

"No... Well, seeing as how we should wait for all of this information... What do you want to do?"

Crypto smirked, "Oh... I have something that you should see..."

Crypto turned on a monitor and Pox and GIR came up. GIR was running around Pox as usual. Pox was fascinated with the defective little robot, not sure if he was a marvel of science or merely an retarded coffee machine with the brain of a five year old. (hehehe... Look familiar?)

"So this is all you do?" Pox asked.

"Well, sometimes I eat cheese, I LIKE CHEESE, and sometimes me and my master fly to the moon to have picnics with the moon people, who actually look like squirrels! Squirrels are like this!" GIR did his impression of a squirrel. "And sometimes I 'splode! It's REALLY loud when I 'splode! But it's fun! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Pox was obviously entertained. (Hah, I smell fanfic ideas!) He never really had had someone so random on the Mothership. It was a change from the usual hum-drum boring on the ship.

"Wahoo! Wahoo! Wahoo? Waheeeh! Ruruwaryuuiine shenifa turafayuuwari fa! Whoa whoa!
Erunaruutuura inewai isu raburigentu koudutudu!" GIR sang.

Pox wasn't exactly sure what GIR had just said, but he was still entertained. Crypto decided to turn off the monitor at that point. Zim was going into shock, or spasms, or was just going crazy from the randomness. (When does he not?) Crypto laughed for a moment, but then decided to try to snap him out of it by splashing water on him. Although, Crypto doesn't know about how Irkens don't mix well with water. Regardless, he follows through with his idea and throws the water on him. Well, Zim being the Irken that he is, the water caused some...minor discomfort.

"OWWWWW! BURNING! EVERY INCH OF MY SKIN! IT BURNS!" Zim cried out in pain.

Crypto laughed at Zim's pain. Then he decided that he shouldn't leave Silhouette out of the fun. After all she had sent him all of that nice stuff.

: Back on Earth :

Silhouette was dumbfounded. How could Crypto have done it? Their technology should have, at least, left a trace. But there was nothing. With all of the Majestic's brand new, state of the art in defense, technology, it should have stopped him. Then something on all of the monitors popped up. It was That's Your Horoscope for Today! by ZekeySpaceyLizard!

"NOOOOO! NOT WEIRD AL! CURSE YOU CRYPTO!"


Okay, the song GIR sang was a part from (in English) Wahoo Stomp or (in Japanese) Stepping Wind. The song is from the Mira-Mira Heights level on Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. Very cute and fun little game. I love the music on the game esp. Wahoo Stomp and the song for the Kingdom of Sorrow level.

No, I do not hate Weird Al or ZekeySpaceyLizard's video of That's Your Horoscope for Today!. I was listening to the song and just thought it would be funny if it was used for torture purposes. Oh the hilarity...

Once again, thankies to Metal Overlord 2.0 for the idea and for the line in his review. Hehehe...

Read and review!
