Halloween Havoc

Part Seven: Pixie Dust is a Fashion Must!

Jay couldn't believe how gullible Tink, ur--Delia--was. As she continued to storm off towards the lab he drew the shrink ray from behind his back and took aim. She wouldn't know what hit her!

"Now think happy thoughts," he snickered and pressed the button.

Delia burst into the lab with her temper flaring, "ZEELTOR! WHAT'S THIS ABOUT MY CHIPS CAUSING FRIZZY HAIR?!"

Zeeltor looked up from his work while Yazmine tossed him a 'What did you do this time?' stare.

He merely shrugged as the agent was consumed by a familiar flash of light.

"Uh-oh…" Yazmine groaned, she KNEW that flash. "ZEELTOR! The Tight Fit Machine!"

Before either scientist could get in another word Delia had shrank to the size of--well--of a fairy!

She appeared a little dazed by the flash but didn't seem to immediately notice her reduced size as she continued to stomp over towards Zeeltor (who was trying his best not to laugh).

Jay, on the other hand, was hysterical. "Oh man! IT WORKED!"

Delia ignored him until she got to Zeeltor's feet and noticed they came up to her knees. "AAHHH!!! GIANT!"

"Oh dear," Yazmine knelt down and scooped the fairy sized agent up in her hand. It was like holding Blitz. "Delia honey, I'm afraid you're the one who's gotten---smaller."

"WHAT?!" Delia squeaked. Then her eyes narrowed and her head darted around, "JAAAYY!!!"

"How's the weather down there? TINK!" Jay cackled.

"I can't believe this!" Delia squealed in her high pitched, tiny, tone. "I'm gonna KILL you for this Jay!" The sound of chuckling caught her attention and she spotted the creator of the nightmarish device, "Right after I KILL ZEELTOR!!!"

Yazmine gasped as Delia used her shrunken chips to levitate herself over to Zeetlor's head and began jerking his branched out 'growths'.

Agent U entered the lab to retrieve the two 'candy buddies' who he figured were slacking off and spotted the miniature agent attacking Zeeltor.

"Well," he murmured, "at least that's one less person to cause trouble."

Naturally, Delia heard this. "OH YEAH?!"

Using her chips she zipped through the lab, knocking over beakers and various (light weight) inventions.

Zeeltor quickly grabbed a beaker and placed it over Delia as she skipped across the keyboard, deleting his research files.

"HEY!" her little fists pounded on the glass.

"AGENT JAY!" Yazmine turned and scolded the snickering rookie.

"Hey, don't look at me," Jay replied defensively, "this whole thing was Zeeltor's idea!"

Yazmine turned on the scientist, "Well, I never imagined that Agent Jay would cause THIS much trouble." he chuckled uneasily.

It had been all too easy to sneak into the MIB HQ. The most anyone did to get in his way was hand him a stack of folders and ask if he wanted a cup of coffee.

Alpha was thoroughly enjoying himself. Now to get rid of the extra…

"Oh, hello Sir." a woman's voice greeted him. Glancing down he recognized the woman as the first female recruit of the MIB.

"Agent Bea, isn't it?"

"Yes Sir," that was odd, Zed was usually so good with names. He must really be having a hard day. "How are things today Sir? Not too stressful I hope."

"Oh I believe things are finally beginning to look up." Alpha smiled under his Zed disguise. "In fact, I foresee a few much needed changes in store for this organization."

"Really?" this didn't sound like the Zed Bea knew at all. He was usually so set in the MIB's traditional ways. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' had always struck her as a motto that Zed lived by.

The real Zed was up in his office, as usual, pondering over the strange disappearance of his best agents. As much as he dreaded it, it looked like he'd have to send out the second team. Pressing a button on his desk he spoke to one of the receptionists, "Yev, send up Agent U and the other agents working with his class."

"I wouldn't bother the youngsters," an eerily familiar voice chuckled from the doorway.

"Who are-" Zed began as the figure stepped into the light, "ALPHA?! What's the meaning of this?"

"It's like looking into a mirror isn't it?" Alpha sneered.

"Too bad you didn't get my good side," Zed snarled, now if only he could get to his sidearm…

Alpha saw Zed reaching for his desk drawer and whipped out a weapon of his own, "Not so fast old timer. Unlike you I've learned a few tricks sense our last encounter."

"Whatever you're plotting this time Alpha, it won't work!" Zed declared.

"Really? And who's going to stop me?" Alpha countered, "Even the great Kay is in MY clutches now!"

"What have you done with Kay?!" Zed demanded.

"Here," Alpha raised his weapon and fired, "I'll show you."

******

Delia was outraged, being cramped up under a tiny glass beaker. Fed up at last she pulled out her J2 standard sidearm and waved it in Jay's face.

Jay gasped from the other side of the glass where he'd been teasing her, "How'd you get one of those?!"

"I wouldn't use that," Yazmine cautioned a little too late as Delia fired.

The blast ricocheted off the glass and when the smoke cleared a soot covered fairy sat in the center more steamed--and stunned--than ever.

"I tried to warn you." Yazmine sighed as U's communicator beeped.

"Yes?"

Yev started to speak but the transmission was temporarily interrupted. "Well?" U persisted as Yev reappeared.

"Never mind." Yev seemed a bit puzzled, "Zed told me to contact you and the other agents but I've just received orders to cancel that order. Carry on."

The communicator screen went black again and U resumed watching the ever determined Delia try to escape from her glass prison.

This time she whipped out her icer and took aim. Everyone rolled their eyes as she fired. Unfortunately for Jay, the icer froze the glass and caused it to shatter into about a million tiny pieces.

Seeing the steamed pixie free Jay screamed and took off down the hall with Delia in hot pursuit.

"Now that THAT'S over!" U exclaimed and followed them out.

Sighing with relief that Delia hadn't resumed destroying the lab Zeeltor went back to his latest project. He caught sight of Yazmine on the other side of the room bending over a microscope and tinkering with some wires.

"What do you have there?" he inquired.

"Just a little something for Agent Delia," Yazmine winked, "After all, what's a fairy…without her wings?"
