Agent Di in "Attack of the Saucers from Glorp" Part 6
"Well, here we are, Central Park." Di announced.
"You've been here before?" Chase asked trying not to show interest.
"Nope, not really. I usually try to avoid places like this whenever possible." she opened the door and hopped out. "There's Agent Kay."
"Glad you're here," Kay turned to them, Di didn't detect anything in his tone that suggested he was anything but blunt and a little too uptight.
Another agent walked up to them and spoke to Kay, "Our readings are showing that the Glorps have moved outside the city, towards the residential areas."
Kay nodded and gave the screen on his a scanner a look of disgust, "This is just what happened the last time they paid us a visit."
"So what?" Di asked, "We don't like visits from the Glorps?"
"That's right little lady, just picture a huge hairy spider with a incessant appetite for mayhem and human flesh." Kay replied. "Would you want to play hostess to someone like that? And about five hundred of their closest relatives?"
"Five hundred?" Di gasped, "How the heck are we supposed to stop that many?!"
"By the size of that craft I'd say that it was just a scouting party." Chase observed, "Probably only eight or nine at the most."
"Try ten hot shot," another agent called, picking his way over the wreckage, "Ten of those things crawled out of that craft and took off down the street. Just look at all the footprints. Besides…" he added in a low tone, "Agent B said that's what happened."
"Agents Di and Chase," Kay announced, "this is my partner, Agent Jay."
"Nice to meet ya." Di held out her hand.
"Always a pleasure to have another pretty face around," Jay grinned not noticing the glare he was getting from Chase.
"And exactly how do we plan to round these alien arachnids up?" Chase demanded.
Jay looked up, "Oh, well---"
"The Glorps just landed after about four and a half weeks of cruising through space," Kay spoke, "now what's the first thing you'd want to do after a long trip like that?"
The agents all exchanged glances, "Sleep?" Chase guessed.
"Make a pit stop to the little alien's room?" Jay snickered.
Di thought about this a moment before blurting out, "Eat!"
Kay nodded, "Bingo. Now unless we want to lose half the city's population by the end of the week and all of New York once these scouts contact the mother ship I suggest we get out there and do some exterminating."
"Good thing I'm not arachnophobic," Di muttered.
"What are we waiting for?" Jay exclaimed, "Let's get out there and kick some eight-legged booty!"
"First thing's first Slick," Kay opened his communicator, "with ten Glorps on the loose we're gonna need some more backup."
"Makes ya feel so appreciated doesn't it." Di grinned to Chase.
"Yeah." try as he might, he just couldn't stay mad at her. It was pointless to anyway, with alien spiders crawling around.
"Zed," Kay spoke into the communicator, "we're gonna need a few more agents down here, turns out there are ten of these things."
"Ten?" Zed's image repeated, "Sounds like a scouting party. I'll send over Delia and R."
From somewhere in the background a voice rang out, "YAY! A case! No more paperwork!!! Whoooaaa!!!!"
CRASH!
"Watch where you're falling!"
"Ow! Get your heel outta my back!"
"Like you're Ms. Graceful in those sneakers!"
Zed's image expressed annoyance as a paper airplane soared over his head, "This day can't end soon enough for me." he mumbled before closing the connection.

A few minutes later Delia and R arrived and joined up with the other agents. It was now Kay, Jay, Di, Chase, Delia, and R out to save the world. Talk about your unlikely heroes.
"I'm still not picking up anything," Delia said, staring at the scanner while riding in the back of the LTD.
"Keep trying," Kay insisted.
They were driving past all the residential areas without much luck. Civilians lives were at stake, if they didn't pick something up soon, it could be too late for one or more of these happy families.

Ophelia Burns was merrily watering her prize winning rhododendrons when she heard something rustling in the bushes behind her. "Hello?" the middle aged woman called.
Upon receiving no reply she removed her straw hat and wandered over to the bushes. "Is someone there? Whiskers, is that you?"
A strange high pitched noise pierced the air. Ophelia clasped her hands over her ears, "What on Earth?"
A creature with pitch black fur and brown marking around it's eyes and chest sprang out of the bushes, tackling Ms. Burns and sending her crashing onto her flowers. "AAHHH!!!"
The Glorp wasted no time in cocooning his meal. It had been several weeks since he'd sunken his fangs into the flesh of an unsuspecting creature. The poor woman wouldn't enjoy another day of tending to her beloved garden.

*Read and review, please. Hey, it's not like no one's ever died on the series, and don't even get me started on the body count the Bug left behind in the first movie, lol. Anyways, hope this fic keeps you on the edge of your seat. I guarantee you'll never look at a spider the same way again. Mwuhahahaha!!!!*
