Prologue: Measuring Day
About year after Zim landed on Earth, it was the time of the irken year when irkens shed their exoskeletons to allow them to grow. Since height determines status in the irken society, all of the irkens gathered on Conventia to measure their new heights.
Purple: Welcome to Conventia! As you all know, today is measurement day, the day where we celebrate how short and pathetic you are compared to us!
Red: Of course, we'll go first so you can all admire our amazing growth skills!
Red strutted through the huge doorway of the violet measuring machine. It whizzed and beeped until a slip of paper slid through an opening in the machine. When Red looked at the paper, the smug grin disappeared from his face.
Purple: (not loud enough for the crowd to hear) Lemme see! (Snatches the paper and reads it aloud) Subject: Red, This year's growth 0.001 inches, Current height: 6 feet, 6.537 inches.
Purple could barely stop laughing at Red's miniscule growth long enough to step into the measuring machine. To Purple's surprise, his growth readout was identically small!
Red: (To audience) Uh, nobody panic. We're just having some err. technical difficulties. (To Purple) What are we gonna do?
Purple: Relax, they don't have to know that we barely grew, especially since we've got our hover belt thingies.
The tallests activated their hover belts and floated about a foot above the stage.
Red: (Calming down) Yeah and we're still taller than all the other short pitiful irkens. Sub-tallest Naizrra would have to grow over three inches to match our mighty tallness.
Purple: (to audience) Excuse the delay. We know the suspense must be killing you.
Red: We both grew 4.102 and are 6 feet and 10.638 inches!
The crowd cheered wildly and the tallests bowed. Next, sub-tallest Naizrra stepped up to the machine. Red and Purple peered over Naizrra's shoulder at her read-out.
Subject: Naizrra This year's growth: 4.09 inches Current height: 6 feet 7.006 inches
Red and Purple eyed each other nervously and turned up the power on their hover belts. Feeling Red's breath on her long, curly antenna, Naizrra turned her head to face the tallests.
Purple: Err, don't mind us. We just wanna see how short and pitiful you are.
Blushing in anger, Naizrra's cheeks turned from pale jade to violet.
Naizrra: (thinking) If they were shorter, I'd think they were complete jerks but they're the tallests so I guess they must be right. Wait a minute.
In one swift motion, two spider legs sprang out of Naizrra's pink spotted pack, slashed through the tallests' hover belts, and neatly folded back inside. Purple and Red fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Red: You dare knock down the tallests!?
A gasp echoed from the crowd as the tallests got to their feet. Even from the audience, it was clear that Naizrra was about a half inch taller than them. She grinned and narrowed her magenta eyes.
Naizrra: No, but I would knock down the sub-tallests.
Speechless, Red and Purple's antennae drooped in shame as they slunk back to the massive.
Purple: (whispering to Red) we will have our revenge.

So what do you think? This is my first fanfic so please be nice.
