Invader Zelot
Chapter 1:Beginnings

The sound of breaking glass, a wet splat, the sound of two holes being drilled into something soft, and then a computerized voice welcoming a new Irken to life. The young female Irken was unusual. She had bright blue eyes,which were rare.And she was tiny. Very tiny. At first when the tallest ones saw her they thought that the computer had made a mistake and taken her out too early. But it had not. So she was given a uniform and put in the young one's room, where she stayed until she was old enough to take classes. She started taking classes three earth years after she was welcomed. All throughout classes she was ridiculed for her height,her strange coloring,and her antennae, which were unusual also. They did not stick out at an angle and then curl near the ends, like the other female's antennae, but made a bit of a "c" shape. But they could not deny that she was ahead of the rest of her age-group. Unfortunately she was made fun of for this too. Eventually it was graduation time. Classes lasted for seven years. Then they took a final test to see if they could become a qualified invader. Zelot passed with 100%. But, because of her height the tallest ones were unsure of what to do with her.

"Well, we can't send her off to her own planet, she's too small!" Red whispered. "I know, but what do we do with her? We can't make her stay here, she's too smart." Purple whispered back. "Well what if we sent her to help one of the other invaders?" "That could work. But which one needs help?" A single name popped into their heads. "Zim." They whispered simultaneously.Zim had gone to earth a couple of months ago but was obviously not anywhere near taking it over yet. Zelot was given the coordinates and her own sir. Unfortunately this one had a design flaw. That flaw was that most of it's brain was made up of paper clips, string, and assorted metal scraps. Zelot could see that there was something wrong with it but she didn't care, she was going to be free of this horrible planet at last! For years she had put up with the jokes and teasing. Now she would finally be free of it. And maybe she could even have the one thing in life that she had always wanted. A friend.

She left to get packed right away. She didn't have much, just her small, two room apartment, her new spaceship that she had gotten after graduating, the new computer that she had been building, and a couple other things. She packed up everything in her house and put it in the spaceship. Then her sir unit jumped in and landed in the pilot seat. "Get out of there." "No." "That's where I sit. I'm the pilot." "I wanna drive!" "No." "WAAAAHHHH!" "If you get out of my seat then I will let you play with this." Zelot held up a small stuffed creature. It looked sort of like a deformed monkey. "*gasp* It's a kranteku doll! I always wanted one of those!" "Well you can have it if you get out of my seat." "OK!" Zelot gave the unit the strange monkey looking doll and then sat in the pilot's chair. She then started up the ship and left the planet. Then she entered the coordinates for the planet into the computer. Then the screen showed three different things. One was the path that the ship would take to get to the planet, another was what the planet looked like, and the third showed the inhabitants of the planet. "I am so glad that I modified the computer on this ship." All of a sudden the computer made a beeping noise. "What? But that would mean that there's already an invader there. Alright, I'm gonna have a little talk with the tallest ones." Zelot walked to the back of the ship and stood in front of a machine with a rather large screen. She typed something into the keyboard and the tallest ones were on screen. "Why the heck did you assign me to a planet that already has an invader on it!" Zelot yelled at the tallest ones. "And you gave me a defective sir unit! I had to bribe him out of the pilot's seat with a kranteku doll!" The tallest ones, who hadn't noticed that someone had contacted them had both fallen out of their chairs in surprise when Zelot started yelling at them. "A kranteku doll? They still sell those?" Red asked Purple. "I thought that those things had gone out a while ago." Purple replied. "Hey! Answer me!" Zelot was not very happy. "Well...umm...you tell her Red." "Me? Why do I have to?!" "Just tell me!" Red took a deep breath and then spoke very quickly."Wellyouseewejustthoughtthatyouwereawfulsmalltotakeonanentireplanetbyyourselfsowesentyoutoaplanetwherethe invaderwashavingahardtimeandonceyouhadhelpedtakeovertheplanetwewouldsendyoutoyourownplanettotakeover." Purple just stared at him."I didn't know that you could talk so fast." Zelot was also surprised, but for a different reason. "So just which invader am I helping?" The tallest ones just stood there looking for all the world as if they had been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. "Well?" Then, they both answered very quietly "zim." "What!? You mean that guy who almost destroyed the planet!?" "yes." "Great,just great. First I'm made fun of because I'm different. Then when I do well I get made fun of for that too. Then when I graduate I get a defective sir unit. And now I'm being sent to assist one of the most helpless Irkins ever!" Zelot then cut the transmission and sat back down in her chair. The sir unit was staring at her. "What do you want?" "You...you...YOU SAT ON KRANTEKU!!!!WAAAHHH!!" "oops, sorry. She got back up and handed the doll to the sir unit. "So just what do I call you? You aren't a normal sir so that won't work." "Call me Nira!" "Ok, Nira it is. Now we have awhile until we get to Earth even going at top speed. I'm going to take a nap. You can study the creatures that live on that planet if you want." "YAY!" Zelot brought the back of her chair down, rolled onto her side,and was soon asleep.

When Zelot woke up she saw that she only had one more hour until they reached earth. "Well, I'd better get to studying these earthlings." Zelot sat at the screen for the entire hour, studying what their homes looked like, how they acted, and different animals on that planet. Then she located where Zim's base was. "Well if I'm going to be helping him I should probably find a place to live that's near him." Zelot looked at the surrounding area. There was an empty lot just across the street. "Well that was easy." Once the ship was entering the atmoshpere Zelot steered it towards the spot she had chosen. She landed there without a problem. Them she brought up the housing selector and designed a house. It was normal looking, at least compared to Zim's. Even if it was orange with a green roof. And she also thought that it would be good to have some sort of guards. Her weren't lawn ornaments though. She had flowers.

Then, once her house was done she had to pick out disguises for herself and Nira. She was looking at pictures of human females about her age and decided on her disguise. She would have blonde hair in pigtails that were high up on her head, where her antennae were. She would also have blue eyes. And she decided to wear human clothes also. She picked a light blue turtleneck and dark blue vest. She also picked bluejeans and sneakers. Then it was Nira's turn. "So Nira, do you know what you want to be?" "I wanna be a puppy!" "Ok. Now what kind?" The computer showed a bunch of different types of dogs. Nira pointed to one that looked like a doll. "Are you sure Nira?" "Yup!" "Ok then." Zelot pressed a button and two hollow cylinder looking things covered Zelot and Nira. When they lifted both of them were wearing their disguises. Then Nira ran off. "Nira! Get back here!" Then Nira came back, only now she had a little pink bow on her head. "How do I look?" Nira asked in her hyper, high pitched voice. "Look in the mirror." Nira looked in the mirror. What looked like a small tan puppy doll with a pink bow looked back. "I'm so cute!" Nira shrieked. Zelot laughed.

"Come on. According to what I found out skool should be in session. I have to sign up. Zim ought to have a sir unit too. I can drop you off there so you two can play. Would you like that?" "YES!" "Alright. Just remember to come back here before Zim gets home." "Alright! Let's go let's go let's go!" So Zelot and Nira left the house. First they walked over to Zim's house. Zelot knocked on the door. Gir, in his puppy outfit, answered the door. "Yes?" Then he saw Nira. "Hello!" As Gir shouted this he waved his arm so fast that Zelot was almost sure that it would fly off. Then Gir noticed Nira's kranteku doll."Oh! They have a show that has him on it! It's called the scary monkey show!" "Really?!" "Yeah! come on, It should be starting soon. I'll order some pizza and brainfreezys!" Zelot had been laughing at Zim's sir's actions. "Well I'll see you later Nira." "Byee!"

Then Zelot headed toward the skool. She could find her way because she had made sure to load a map of the surrounding area into her hand computer. She stored it in her back pack once she arrived. She walked straight into the main office and stood at the desk. "Can I help you little girl?" "I want to sign up for this skool." "Alright, just fill in these little forms." A large pile of papers was thrust into her hands. Then she was given a pen. By the time she was done it was almost the end of the skool day. She handed it back to the lady sitting behind the desk. "Alrighty then, just come back here tomarrow and we'll tell you what class you're in." "Thank you." Then Zelot walked out of the skool and back to her home. As she was about to pick up Nira Zim ran up the street, chased by Dib. Zelot had to jump out of the way to keep from being run over by the two boys. Zim ran into his house and locked the door, keeping Dib from getting in. "I will get you Zim! You just wait! Someday I will reveal that you are an alien!"

As Dib yelled at Zim through the door Zelot's jaw dropped. This boy knows about Zim. How stupid is that invader! No wonder they sent me to help him. Then she got angry. Someone knew about their mission. Zelot charged at Dib, Her arachna-legs extending to pin him against the wall of Zim's house. "How do you know about Zim?" Zelot's voice had taken on a dangerous edge. "I...I...I.." "Spit it out!" "I knew from day one that there was something different about him! Then I got into his house and discovered his evil plan to take over the world! He will not get away with it! And neither will you, alien!" Zim had been watching this from a window the whole time. When he saw the long poker come out from the girl's backpack he knew exactly what it was. It was a standard weapon on his home planet. And he knew what it's primary function was. Zim ran outside yelling "No! Don't kill the Dib-human. He's mine!" "Well then you should have finished him off long ago, shouldn't you?" Zelot turned her head towards Zim but the needle looking thing stayed pointed at Dib. Then Dib, who had looked away from it saw his sister walking towards them. "Gaz! Urk!" As soon as he had shouted the needle had pressed against the throat, threatening to break the skin if he so much as breathed in to deep.

Gaz had heard his brother's yell for help and just kept her steady pace towards them. As Zelot and Zim glared at each other Gaz got closer. As they started to trade insults Gaz was about to reach them. As Zim and Zelot yelled at each other Gaz slipped his brother out from the grip of Zelot's arachna-legs. Then Zelot noticed this. "Hey! Give him back!" "Why should I?" Gaz's voice had a dangerous undertone. "Hey, girl, do not agitate this human. She can hurt you." "And how would you know Zim?! From the looks of it you have only been sitting in that little house of yours, twiddling your thumbs!" "I have not! I've tried to conquer this planet many times! That boy continues to foil my plans!" "Well they must not be very good plans then!" "Excuse me." Gaz was talking. "But why were you trying to kill my brother? And where did you get those neat spider legs things? There cool." Zelot answered. "I was trying to kill that human boy because he knew about something that he shouldn't have known about. As for my arachna-legs, they are standard epuipment. Wait, you really think they're cool?" "Yeah, I wish I had some. Then I could keep Dib away from me when I'm trying to play video games." "Well I might be able to build some, but they would need an external control pad because I do not have the proper equipment to attach it to your neural pathways." "Alright. When can you have them finished?" "Maybe in a day or so." "Ok, see you then. Come on Dib. We're going." And they left.

Zelot and Zim were left standing outside when Nira and Gir ran out and started chasing each other. Zelot watched them until they came too close. Then she picked up Nira. "Come on Nira, we're going home." "But I wanna stay and wacth the scary monkey show!" "I believe we have a television at our house. You can watch it there." "But I wanna play with Gir!" "Fine fine, just don't get lost when you try coming home." "YAY! Thank you Zelot!" "You're welcome." "Wait, you're Zelot? That wierd little girl with blue eyes?" "You've heard of me." "Who hasn't? You're supposed to be one of the shortest Irkins to ever exist! And you have those wierd blue eyes." Zelot just sighed and started walking away. "Wait!" "What is it Zim?" "Why are you here? This is supposed to me my assignment!" Zelot walked back over to him. "Inside."
