Hello again! Here's the update, sorry it's been so long, school and such.. Here's Nny!
On with it!
Chapter-5 Solider Side
"Welcome to the solider side where there's no one here but me .
People all grow up to die.
There is no one here but me."-System of A Down's Solider Side
Nny's pov, 3 days pretrial
I leave my quarters to go to a briefing on my squads next mission.
We're a small, unorthodox and highly specialized force called The Knights, mostly because a lot of us, ( especially myself) are fans of more artistic weaponry, like daggers and katanas.
We do use guns , but personally, I prefer the soothing sound of blade against skin.
Our missions range from VIP protection( yawn), assassination( appeals to the remnants of the Wall's influence), and rescue(which includes liberating slave camps.).
I was put in charge and given my rank simply because The General firsthand witnessed my raging attack against Irkens during the Invasion's first assault, and decided to have me train and lead The Knights.
I find the brief room and see Col. Red , Lewa and his team of techs there.
I salute.
"At ease, Major. Tech Specialist Lewa, you may proceed."
"Thank you," Lewa says. "We've heard from our listening devices an important Irken, high in this campaign's heiarchy called Glick is going to be on planet and leading a search mission to find our headquarters. The shielding we have might not block a close scan, so it's imperative to destroy the equipment, and capture Glick to interrogate him with this." He gestures to a bizarre spike device. " Just stab it above the pack, any questions?"
A hostage? I'd rather just kill him, but he's more important live at the moment.
"Yes, sir," I say, "Where exactly are we going?"
"About 30 miles from what was Denver, there's an Irken base being built, you'll leave at 0800 tomorrow to infiltrate it and destroy it with the hostage in tow," Red replied.
"Any others?" Red asks and receives silence.
"Adjourned, Major, brief your men and have them ready at 0600 tomorrow."
"Yes sir," I reply, salute and leave.
-0530 the next day
Nny's pov again.
"Alright, listen up," I bark to the Knights, "Our mission is this: we infiltrate an enemy stronghold, capture and interrogate a high level Irken called Glick, with this" I lift the tool to show them. " We are also to salvage any tech and weapons we can, as well as free slaves."
"Any questions?"
A hand raises.
"What, Heath?" I ask of the dim new addition.
"Is this stronghold well guarded sir?"
"Why do you think they called us Lieutenant?"
0800-Nny's pov
We load into the drop ship, built from stolen Irken Technology, called Irktech for short.
It's a of hovering weapons platform that resembles a blade-less helicopter, the beauty of it is, their weapons can't lock on, on the bad side, their good manual shots.
I look around at my troops, Osiris comes up to inform me " ETA in four minutes sir."
I don't know if I'll ever get used to being an officer.
"Right Sargent, get the troops ready."
I hear Heath barf up his guts in the seat four feet from me. -Sigh- Rookies.
We land outside the area, it looks like the base is almost done.
There is a large building there that looks like some sort of R and D center,
a slave camp which is one of our objectives, and what looks like crew and officer quarters, lastly
there is an enormous spire being constructed by human slaves being zapped into cooperation.
Boy, do I hate Irkens.
But I also hate humans.. I'll think about that later.
We activate the craft's cloaking device and land in the wreckage of the city.
Our plan is to sneak in with cover of darkness and wreak as much havoc as humanly possible.
Yay.
-That night
Our insertion went well, we knifed the two guards and Rook changed the codes for the hangar entrance. We decide to split up, Rook will take 5 men with him to liberate the slave camp,
Osiris ,our tech Henington, Sia I will go and get the main objective and sabotage the main systems. The others will give us backup if we run into any difficulties.
-With Nny
We enter the labs, it looks like Henington has found what he wants for Christmas.
Theirs all kinds of screens with readouts in Irken, some bizarre devices, but what interests me is a large rifle like weapon, possibly a prototype weapon? Sia sees it and she nabs it, and I motion for Henington to get a readout from the computer. He nods and digs in.
Osiris sweeps the next room,and signals me over
There's our- uh, insectile alien thing.
It's a male irken with glowing red orbs I nod to Osiris and give the hand signal to flank him.
We slowly creep up on the ugly thing, I ready the interrogator, grab his mouth and jab it like Lewa said. He convulses then goes limp, eyelids flickering.
"Glick, can you hear me?" I say, simultaneously turning on the record button. Wow, Lewa's a sick genius.
"Yes" the Irken drones back
"Your going to come with us"
"Alright " he says in a dazed voice. Boy, even I don't like this.
All of a sudden an alarm breaks out...
Osiris looks at me and goes "Fifty bucks says it was Heath."
-with team two
Lieutenant Philip Heath, the newest Knight, was a brave man, but not the sharpest tool in the shed. He volunteered to stay behind on a mission so some slaves could escape, the aftereffects was a partial loss of hearing and lots of burns and nerve damage, since he activated an electric mine seven feet from him, effectively frying the Irken's paks, and a bit of him.
This near suicidal bravery earned him a spot on the Knights.
On the mission, he was to help raid the slave camp, and by the looks of it twice as big as the last one.
He trudged on in front of Vasquez and Steinberg , all carrying there Ac39 anti- Irken plasma disruptor, some of the first built by Lewa, who liked the Knights to test his new creations.
These bad-boys let out a an emp pulse around a plasma core that dissolves flesh AND obliterates their cybernetic implants, these would be a great help to the troops using old human guns or salvaged Irktech, but Lewa insisted on a field test first.
Heath poked his head around the corner of the shack witnessing a prisoner being tortured.
Rage filling him he took aim and let lose in semi-auto.
An alarm sounded as Irkens were blown to smoldering , electricity spewing chunks.
The battle had begun.
-Dib's pov, 25 minutes after getting darted-again
I hate getting darted.
I open my eyes and blink, trying to focus; I don't recognize anything, but this must be Tak's
"mansion". It's a large room decorated with various expensive stuff, red carpet, and expensive furniture. Then I realize I'm shackled to a frigin armchair.
I gotta say, Tak's done her research on how millionaires live, this looks real classy, expensive, and like I said earlier matches her ego.
Speak of the devil, here she is.
She comes parading in the room, still in her disguise (why?) And sits down across from me, her evil little robot curled in her lap in cat form. I hate that robot. A lot.
"You know, Dib you could have knocked, I would have let you in," She drawls.
"If I'm your 'guest' why am I like this!" I snarl, I know it sounds dumb, but I got nothing else.
She lifts an eyebrow and smirks, "You've already proven to be hostile so for YOUR protection your like this."
God, Irkens are arrogant. "So, Dib what can I do for you this filthy earth night?"
"Why the disguise?" I demand, " ashamed of your clammy insectileness?"
She shakes her head and smirks more.
"No, because one I figured you might be using a spare recorder, Mimi, search him; and two so you're more comfortable."
The evil cat thing finds the camera in my glasses and gives em a zap- frying the microfilm.
Great. Now I need another camera.
She walks over and sits on the arm of my chair(must get LOOSE!) .
"My turn for questions Dib," she says in a sing-song voice. "Why did you come here to kill me?"
"Doing humanity a favor." I say back with as much hate as possible.
"They haven't done you any." Fair point.
"My turn," I declare. "Why'd you read my mind?"
She looks distant for a moment then goes, "I was looking for your feelings on me.."
Huh? What she playing at?
We sit for a couple minutes in silence, then I realize the obvious questions I should've asked first.
"What's your plan? What do you want with me?"
She gives a sarcastic smile. "Patience , we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, now would we? You'll know in due time."
I don't like the sound of that...
"Come, I'll give you a tour, and please don't make Mimi dart you again."
The shackles release me, I know I can't dodge that things darts and I could gain valuable Intel, so I cooperate- for now.
She shows me various rooms, both ordinary and alien, including various living rooms and labs , her house's "brain" which powers it , her bedroom( Irkens sleep?) and her hangar with MY ship as well as a newer model in it. If I wasn't a prisoner I'd be enjoying myself.
We go back to the room where I was kept and she motions for me to sit on the couch with her.
"Well, Dib I have a proposition." She says.
Oh, boy, this'll get interesting.
"Huh?"
"Dib, I need your help with my mission, humanity has been cruel to you your whole life, when you've saved them constantly,"
I CANNOT believe this!
"You could be their King, Dib, the two of us could rule Earth's golden age!"
Whoa.
"No, I won't let you take over Tak." I snarl, I notice Mimi is readying her darts. I feel as if someone's playing my memories like a movie.
"I see it in your mind, you hate them, yet you fight for them..but why?"
"Stay out of my mind Tak!" I growl.
I see mom in front of me with her last words replayed:
"Dib, make this world a better place"
I loose myself, I start seeing memories foreign to me:
An alien being artificially born.
Her being trained .
Her being trapped in a small room.
Being sentenced to clean a dirt ball planet.
Escaping and vowing revenge.
Assuming a disguise to avenge herself against the one that ruined her life.
Then I'm hit with a force that sends me over the couch.
I spring to my feet ready to ring her neck, only to receive another dart.
-Tak's pov
I'm surprised at Dib's mental defenses. He brought back my bleak memories...
Now, I wait for his decision.. Oh yes, and see how well-done Zim is from my turrents.
-Dib's pov 11:50
-groan-
That intergalactic skank.
Lemme guess, another note?
Yup
"Really, you need to work on your people skills. Think about my offer."
"Love, "
"Tak"
Give her one thing, she's got a sense of humor.
Well, back to the drawing board.
Wonder how Zim... AW, CRAP!
I was supposed to meet him at his house. I run to see if he had any luck doing surface damage to her base. Also, I want my footage of the battle.
-outside Zim's house 3rd person 11:24 PM
"I'm never being Dib's decoy again!"Zim screams.(A/N what else is new?)
"It was fun 'splodin! Then that lil girl chased us with a plasma rifle, then we hid in a dumpster filled with s-"
But Gir was cut off:
"ENOUGH! I don't want to remember that..."
Zim shuddered , then they went inside, where Zim flopped onto the couch , not taking note of Gaz until:
"Been having fun have we Zim?"
Zim almost had a 'spooch attack.
"WHA!"
"Relax, my brother didn't come home, I thought he might be here plotting Tak's destruction."
Gaz explained , not looking up from her game and trying to pry Gir's hug off
"We planned it after school, and we are supposed to rendevous here at midnight."
Zim explained
"And you didn't invite me," Gaz said sarcastically , while throwing Gir off.
"Well, uh..."
"HUG!"Gir said squishing them both in a bear hug.
-After Gir was thrown off
"Well, I guess I should wait here." Gaz grunted.
Zim cocked his head in confusion at her behavior.. This dirtchild was sitting next to him and not causing him bodily harm... what does that mean?
(A?N)
Ok, that's all this chappie, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Tell me what'cha think, I did have difficulty writing Nny's stuff.
