Last chapter for today, unless of course I can learn to type much faster! sobs I can only type 37 words per minute! lol, I think that's pretty good for myself though.
"Kad, can I come in?" Red asked as he knocked on the door to his daughter' room.
"Whatever." Came her muffled reply. Red floated in and sat on the edge of her bed as he rubbed her back. She was lying face down and had stayed that way for about five days. She looked up and whimpered, "He's gone." She looked terrible; she had dark circles under her eyes and was getting thin from not eating.
"I know, but I do know where he's at." Red sighed as hope flickered in her eyes. "He's at the Invader training academy." At that all of her hope disappeared and she looked down sadly. "I was thinking, sense Tak and Zim have gone to training, I think that you should start making plans about going to the Brains. After all, you aren't a child anymore." He said firmly but kindly.
Her eyes lit up and she grinned, "Can I go right now?"
Red laughed and sat her up, "Eat first, you'll feel better." Kad nodded and kissed him on the check before running out of the room at full speed. Pur stared at her as she passed and laughed at Red.
"Did she just kiss your cheek?" Red nodded and floated out of the room slowly.
"Dad! Guess what? You're the one who's supposed to train me! "Kad panted happily as she stood in front of him.
Red's eyes widened and he choked, "But all I train are the royal guards." Kad nodded and bowed.
"At your service, my Tallest." Red sighed and gestured to a large room as Kad eagerly walked in. The training was intense and lasted for about twenty years, but in the end she turned out to be one of the best royal guards he had trained.
"Mistress, the Great Assignment is about to begin" a service drone called as Kad groaned and got on the rest of her armor as fast as she could. She grabbed her shock stick and rushed out the door, almost knocking the poor servant over. Kad arrived just in time and took her place at the bottom of the large stage as her father and his co-ruler arrived to address the new Invaders. The whole thing lasted about two hours and was the most boring gathering she had attended, in her opinion. After the Great Assignment it went back to being the same old Irk for five years. Then the war began.
"Kad, we need you to retrieve every Invader that is off this planet! The transmission is broken and we need you to take the fastest ship in the fleet. We need all the help we can get." Purple ordered as she raced into the docking bay. The list of planets was on the computer so all she had to do was set it on autopilot and push turbo. Soon she had told every Invader on the list except one about the war.
"Earth, what is that?" She asked herself as she neared a green and blue planet she had never heard of before. Her tracking device picked up Irken technology and she landed quietly. She got out and smoothed out her black and blue uniform before knocking on the eerie purple door. When nobody answered after some time she let herself in quietly as she searched the house. Suddenly her antennae picked up the unmistakable sound of someone in pain. She walked over to an elevator and stared in shock at what she saw in the lab. It was a wreck, screens were cracked, beakers were shattered, and potions had burned holes into the ground.
"Dear Irk, what happened here?" She whispered to herself as she stepped carefully through the mess. She walked around a corner and stood frozen in horror at what she saw before her.
