X and Elle were looking for the Alkazoids. X was driving, even though Elle didn't really trust her behind the wheel.
"I wonder where the Alkazoids went.." Elle mumbled to himself.
"Maybe they went back home, little ears." X replied.
"I doubt it." Elle said, addressing her. "They're pretty dedicated creatures. I don't think they'd give up on trying to boost their population anyways. It's pretty low, and gotten lower since Kay and Jay killed some of them. They just need a new leader."
"What if they did and we've been wasting our time searching for them?" X asked.
"I told Jay we'd keep searching until we find them or can be sure they left." Elle replied.
"Would they make their retreat obvious?" X asked.
"I'm not sure, but we should keep check." Elle said.
"Maybe, Fran has updates." X said. She parked the car, too close to the newsstand, almost hitting it. The sound of screeching tires startled Fran awake.
"Why can't I get any sleep today." She groaned to herself. "Three times!? Really!?"
She looked confused to see X and Elle. Usually, Jay and Kay came too see her, not many other MIB agents did. "Um...hi..."
"Fran, we need to know if you've seen any Alkazoids." Elle said.
"No. Why do you seem so worried?" Fran asked, puzzled.
"Kay killed their leader." X explained. "We need to see if they left, or if they're getting a new leader."
"Well I haven't seen anything." Fran said. She settled down ready to nap some more. She closed her eyes.
"Will you help patrol?" Elle asked. Fran opened one eye in annoyance.
"I've been trying to take a nap all day and MIB keeps waking me up!" She complained. Her stomach growled.
"Why don't we get you a hot dog and-" Elle started.
"No!" Fran yelled as she stood up in anger. "I got one hot dog for imitating an Alkazoid sound. I won't go looking for one, for one measly hot dog!"
"How about two?" X asked.
Fran though for a moment. She sighed. "Oh...alright..."
"X-." Elle started, as he took out ten dollars.
"No. I don't want to touch your disgusting Earth food." She complained.
"As if you didn't dislike humans enough.." Elle murmured under his breath and went to find a hot dog stand. Being New York, there were a lot of them scattered about.
He bought two hot dogs with every topping on them. He put them on the counter and noticed Fran look really happy.
She ate the first one in a way that would make a fancy lady squirm. Then she ate the second one in the same manner.
"Alright. How's this going to work?" Fran asked. "Am I going with you guys, on my own..or what?"
"Alone." X said. Fran glared at her.
"So we can cover more ground." Elle told Fran.
"Sure..you can say that..." X mumbled under her breath.
"Okay." Fran sighed. She already ate the bribe, so she should do something. Elle clipped something to his collar. "What's this?"
"It's a clippable Com Link. It's only used when an Agent for one reason or another can't use their hands much." Elle explained. "Just hit the button with your nose to call, and then again to hang up."
"Got it." Fran said. Elle and X got back in the LTD to patrol more. Fran went the opposite direction of them.
…...
The Alkazoids were hidden in an alleyway. One of them was on alert to make sure MIB (Or as they called them "Err erg er gert", which was a literal translation of "The Men in Black"),didn't find them.
They huddled around the Alkazoid with the Universal Changer ray. He let out some growls and snarls.
"Err erg err gert, ers erregr eurs."
The Alkazoids whispered to each other; It was a muddle of growls. Then they nodded to one another.
One of them took out a red rock and approached him. She lightly rubbed the rock across his eyelids, leaving red markings, then backed up.
The Alkazoids roared in rejoice, now that they had a new leader.
The leader growled out his first command: To get rid of MIB.
