"Trust No One"

The Massive

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Stressed

Purple sat in a chair restlessly tapping his fingers against the handle. He crushed the pop can in his other hand and tossed it off to the side. The clink signaled to him that it was time to get another pop. His eyes traveled over to Red, who was going through papers. Purple released a silent breath and turned his gaze back to space. Invader Kook was about to dock any minute now. Purple's apathetic look turned to one of anger. His left antenna twitched in agitation and he noticed a few smaller Irkens back away from him.

"What's your problem?" Red questioned as he continued to gaze at the papers.

"Nothing," Purple mumbled as he pulled out a bag of chips from his pants.

"Then stop moping," Red said and Purple simply raised an antenna.

"You're such a jerk," Purple grumbled.

"Pansy," Red grumbled back.

"I don't see the point in abducting a human," Purple began as he quickly stuffed chips into his mouth.

"She's the one that controlled the Massive," Red reminded.

"Oh yeah," Purple drawled.

"We have an image to maintain…we can't go soft," Red seriously said.

"Whatever…I just think it's a waste of time," Purple stated as he opened a soda.

"Kook has docked," a communication officer announced.

"Tell her to bring the prisoner here," Red said as he smiled.

"When was the last time we had a prisoner?" Purple questioned.

Red tapped his chin in thought and replied, "Never."

"I thought we had a prisoner a few years back…one of those Vortians," Purple mused as Red squinted in thought.

"You're right…I wonder if he's still alive," Red questioned as Purple dryly glared at Red.

"Most likely…not," Purple grumbled.

"Oh well," Red sighed and Purple turned his gaze back to space.

"Time to wake up," Kook sighed as she tapped Gaz on the cheek.

Gaz grimaced as she tried to roll away from the prying hand. A soft laugh was heard and Gaz shot up in pain. Kook laughed as she turned her gloves off. Gaz grimaced and felt as if her whole body hurt. Kook raised an antenna as she noticed Gaz's slowed abilities. Kook grumbled about weak humans as she pulled a pill from herPak. Gaz turned her head away from Kook and the alien growled. Her hand snapped forward and pinched Gaz's nose. Gaz's mouth opened in an attempt to gather air. Kook stuffed the pill in her mouth and rubbed her throat to ease it down. Gaz grimaced as another wave of pain washed over her body.

"There now, not good as new, but better," Kook assured as she pulled Gaz to her feet.

"You…suck," Gaz mumbled as she gripped the wall for balance.

Kook looked over the human and found that all bruises had vanished. Her green eyes wandered to Gaz's leg and noted the pink flesh. It was healing, slowly, but it was healing. The suit was also repairing itself.

"You are to meet the Tallest," Kook advised as she wrapped a thin wire around Gaz's wrist.

"What's this…string?" Gaz scoffed.

"No," Kook growled as she pressed a button.

The string began to glow and Gaz raised an eyebrow. Gaz should have figured that there would be no easy escape. Kook suddenly jumped and ran over to a wall. She tapped in a code and the small drawer opened. Kook reached in pulled out was looked like a clear nose plug. The drawer automatically shut on its own. Kook reached up and pulled Gaz to her level using her hair. Kook stuck the nose plug in Gaz's nose. Gaz sniffled and snorted in an attempt to dislodge it.

"That will convert any atmosphere to the levels you can breathe," Kook explained. "Dislodge it if you want to suffocate or have your lungs explode."

Gaz scowled at the alien and grunted when Kook pulled her along by the rope. Gaz's eyes went wide as she studied her surroundings. Gaz noted that many different Irkens stopped to stare at her. She turned her head around and noted that the airlock was closed. She felt the suit morph and adjust her body to the new type of environment in the ship. Gaz took a breath and was surprised to find that she could breath the air. Red and Purple eyes watched as she was pulled along. Gaz noticed a short fat Irken with a couple of stains on his uniform. He was also bound and being led somewhere. They made briefeye contact.

"I'm coming," Gaz growled as Kook tugged her out the door.

Gaz kept her eyes squinted by took in every turn they made. She memorized each hallway they went down. They came to a large set of doors and Gaz raised an eyebrow. Two Irkens floated in the air with jet packs strapped to them. They wore a dark maroon shirt and black pants. Gaz could tell that they were staring at her through their goggles. Their antennae flattened and she noticed that was a sign of aggression.

"Kook with the prisoner," Kook stated.

The two guards glanced at her and then each other. They nodded and the doors opened to the control room. Gaz grinned as she noticed two tall figures in the distance. She figured this wasn't the best idea, but hey, she wanted trouble. Gaz quickly kicked Kook in the back of the head. Kook went rolling and she lost her grip on the bonds. Gaz took off running and jumped over the smaller Irkens. Gaz jumped on the Tallest platform and held her head down. Shadows covered her stoic face as she slowly raised her gaze to them. She didn't show her anger, but she was positive they could feel it.

"You," Gaz growled as her eyes slightly opened.

"Uh-oh," Purple mumbled as he floated back.

"I'm in space now," Gaz assured as her gaze locked on Purple.

"Just relax," Purple tried to soothe as he held his hands up.

"You called me an idiot…and you're on my list," Gaz reminded as her head slightly tilted to the side.

"Restrain her!" Red shouted as he pointed to Gaz.

Gaz's eyes narrowed as she watched more of the guards fly over to her. One fired a laser at her and she held her arms up. The laser cut through her bonds and she grinned as she rubbed her freed wrists. Gaz backed up and noticed that the Tallest had managed to distance themselves from her. She continued to back up and search for a weapon. Gaz grinned as her hand brushed against her pocket. She reached in and pulled out the bottle of wasabi.

"I'm giving you a chance to back away," Gaz darkly said as she took the cap off. They laughed at her. "Or else you will experience true pain."

"The little alien's threatening us!" Red laughed as Purple nervously looked at the situation.

Gaz reached into the bottle and flung handfuls of wasabi at the Irkens. They stood there stunned before they fell to the ground screaming. Red's eyes widened as he watched their skin begin to smoke. Gaz began to take steps closer to them as she flung the wasabi at them. She knew the bottle would run out, but she wanted to get to Purple. He was the one that was on her list. The list was the first thing that she always completed. Red went to order more guards, but most were still squirming in pain. Gaz was only ten feet away from their floating forms.

"I told you this was a bad idea!" Purple screamed.

"You said waste of time!" Red quoted.

"Give me the Purple one and you will be spared…for now," Gaz warned.

Purple's eyes widened as he looked to Red and then the demented girl. Red looked between the two and he grabbed Purple. He held Purple in front of himself and Gaz grinned. She flung the wasabi. Purple held his breath as the wasabi flew towards him. It went by him and smacked Red in the face. Red released Purple and began to scream as the wasabi burned him. Purple sighed in relief and then yelped as Gaz reached up and pulled his antenna. She hit him and threw him to the ground. Gaz jumped on him until he looked beaten up.

"This is pathetic," Gaz grumbled.

"I'm going to kill you!" Kook shouted as she lunged at Gaz.

Gaz gasped as Kook wrapped her hands around her neck. Gaz reached up and rubbed the wasabi on Kook's face. She winced at the contact, but ignored the pain as she watched Gaz turn purple. Gaz smacked at Kook and Kook laughed as she hoped to hear the human's last heartbeat.

"Kook," Red calmly said through a burnt face. "Let her go."

"What?" Kook questioned.

"Release her and take her to the holding cells," Red snarled.

"But my Tallest," Kook protested.

"You disagree?" Red dangerously questioned.

"Of course not, my Tallest," Kook replied as she released Gaz.

Gaz coughed and wheezed as she fought to get air into her lungs. Two of the royal guards quickly took Gaz away. Kook followed to make sure she didn't escape. Red watched the strange human leave and he began to grin.

"She hits hard," Purple mumbled as he ran his fingers along the dents in his suit.

Red raised an eyebrow and Purple began to laugh as he pointed at Red. Red frowned and Purple stopped laughing. Purple glared at Red out of the corner of his eye. Red was too busy in his thoughts to notice this. Purple stood up and grimaced at the slight soreness his body.

'Would hekill me if he had the chance?' Purple thought with a scowl.

"Wouldn't it be great if she destroyed Zim?" Red questioned as he turned to Purple. Purple had long since left the control room. Red raised an antenna in questioned.

"Welcome home," Kook sneered as she pushed Gaz into a small area.

Gaz growled as she tripped over the low floating metal and fell onto the floor. A red transparent barrier snapped in place. Gaz opened her amber eyes and glared at the Irken. Kook slightly tensed and Gaz grinned.

"It's good to know that you fear me," Gaz softly said.

"I don't fear you," Kook spat.

"You should," Gaz warned with a hint of humor.

"Why is that?" Kook asked with a smile.

"Fearing me will keep you alive…just a bit longer," Gaz answered.

"You couldn't kill me," Kook smugly said.

"I never said that I would kill you," Gaz darkly said as she smirked.

"You do need help," Kook replied as she vanished with the guards.

"Nothing can help me," Gaz whispered as she softly chuckled.

Gaz looked at her surroundings and frowned. Being in this cage made her feel like the pig girl again. The only difference was, no one would save her. Gaz raised an eyebrow and wondered if Zim would come. She scoffed and let her eyes roam the area. Dib wouldn't come since he hadn't been able to fix some special engine in the ship. Gaz sat on her bottom and pulled her knees to her chin. She sighed as she rested her chin on her knees and stared into the vast darkness. There was nothing out there to save her; there was nobody that would save her.

A pair of red eyes opened and she scowled when they made contact with her own eyes. They gleamed in the darkness and she wondered what she would have to face now. She sat in the cage with a bored look as the red eyes gazed at her. She then watched as the Irken stepped out of the shadows.
