"Spleenk! Shlooktapookis! What have I told you two about bringing in strays?" Aboard the Resisty's ship, the said resistence group were throwing a celebration party over the successful raid. "But Captain! We freed her from the Irkens!" Spleenk gave the captain the same look a little kid gives after they find a little kitten. "Can we keep her? Please?" Raven stepped up to speak in her defense. "Allow me to introduce myself. My alias is Raven Stargazer. My real name I will not reveal to readers because, frankly, it's none of their business. I thank you all for helping me. All I ask of you now is to take me back to my home planet Earth." The captain of the ship thought for a moment. "Earth, now where have I heard of that planet before? Computer, open up the 3-D map of the universe." instantly the room went dark. Those who hadn't a clue to what was going on jumped at the change of scenery. Those who did know what was going on just stood there. Like a log, or some other inert object that you would find in the woods. Anyway, the room filled up with green light as spheres one would call planets and stars materialized in front of their eyes as a 3-D map. "Computer. Locate the planet Earth." The plane on the 3-D map shifted and enlarged at a certain area. It stopped at Captain Lard Nar's request."Hey! That's the planet we nearly crashed into!" Shouted Shlooktapookis enthusiastically. "Of course" Lard Nar stated in realization. "That was back during our first act of resistence." Raven gazed curiously at the captain. "What happened?" Captain Lard Nar shook his head and waved his right hand at her. "You don't want to know." flashback over, Lard Nar perked up his head. "Wait a second! Isn't there an Irken stationed there?" Raven nodded, "he goes by the name of Zim. I have a personal grudge against him now, considering that he blabbed to his leaders about my snack-making skills." Raven flipped out the small book I told you about one or two chapters before this one. "See! He's at the top of my revenge list!" The angry writer shoved her revenge list into Lard Nar's hands. Carefully, he read it's contents. "Why are the Keebler Elves on the list?"
"I choked on one of their club crackers when I was little." An awkward silence, which I can't help but put in my work, filled the room. "Well, uh anyways, since you to bear a personal grudge against the Irken Empire, how would you like to join us in our fight for freedom?" Raven shrugged. "Well, I've always supported fighters of freedom. And now I hate the Irkens after this little misadventure, so Okay." Lard Nar leaped from his chair. "I now declare you our Earth operative! Hooray for you!" The Captain turned to Spleenk. "Spleenk, get the box and bring it here." Spleenk did as he was told. Lard Nar looked to the new member. "What size of clothes do you normally wear?"
"Last time I checked, I wore medium." Instantly, a medium-sized gunmetal-grey uniform was thrown Raven's way and, losing her balance upon contact with the uniform, she properly introduced herself to the laminated floor. "Inside the pockets of your uniform you will find a communicator watch, identification card to fill out, and three packages of complementary peanuts." Raven paused from snacking on one of the packages to ask Captain Lard Nar a question. "How do I fill out the identification card?"
"It's very simple. Here, let me show you." The captain took out of one of the many pockets of Raven's uniform a shiny, bright green card. "Hold out your right hand." Lard Nar instructed the new soldier. When she did, The Captain pressed a small button on the side of the card. It came to life and bit the end of Raven's index finger. "Ouch!" she exclaimed, drawing back her finger once the card let go. The card whirred and clicked. In a squeaky voice, the card spoke:
Raven Ophelia Stargazer
Blood type: O Positive
Home planet: Earth
Identification number: 470802B
Rank: Earth Operative
"Wow!" Exclaimed Raven. Captain Lard Nar handed her identification card over. "We'll contact you with the communicator watch when we need you."
"What kind of stuff will I be doing?"
"Mostly just keeping an eye on that Irken you call 'Zim'. Occasionally you will be called to duty should any threat come to Earth that we really need destroyed." Raven smiled. "Sounds like fun." Lard Nar nodded. "It is." Captain Lard Nar turned to the others. "Resume the party. I need to work on getting our Earth operative home." The Captain approached a door and motioned for Raven to follow. He led her to what looked like a small parking garage for spaceships. They stopped in front of a stealthy looking spaceship. "This one hasn't been used in a while, so I'm giving it to you." Raven stared open-mouthed at it. "It's so shiny..." Captain Lard Nar ignored her comment. "I'll set the ship on auto-pilot. That contraption you were riding is already in there, so you can go now if you want." After Lard Nar set the ship on auto-pilot, Raven climbed into the open cockpit. "Captain Lard Nar?"
"Yes?"
"Later." But just as Raven was about to take off, The Captain stopped her. "I almost forgot to tell you: you must not tell anyone of what transpired here. Keep your allegiance with us a secret. If this Zim you speak of finds out, he could blab to his leaders and they could track us down and destroy us." Raven nodded. "Okay. I wasn't gonna tell anyone anyways. Mostly because they think I'm crazy. Bye." And with that, the ship was launched, and oh, lets say, less than an hour later, Raven crashed in front of the parking lot of Wal-Mart, where everyone was waiting. "You! Where the hell have you been?" The Monarch shouted at Raven as she climbed out of the ship, overcome with space-travel-related nausea. "You...don't want to know." she told the temperamental villain, taking out her scooter(which, stored in the trunk, was her Resisty uniform). She did a double-take when she saw the building she hated most in flames. "What happened?" Raven asked anyone who would respond. "Zim blew up Wal-Mart trying to capture Elijah Wood." responded Haruko. "Zim..." Their hostess turned to Zim. In an unexpected moment, she gave him a hug. "What the- get your hands off me you stinking human!"
"Zim, you're off my revenge list for blowing up Wal-Mart!" But, in a sneaky manner, Raven crossed her fingers and smiled evilly. "Just you wait Zim. I'll get you back for selling me out. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but my revenge will come someday." Little did everyone know that inside, Raven was laughing the most evil laugh she ever laughed.
(A/N: another chapter finished! Anyway, I looked at the end credits of the Invader Zim episode 'Backseat drivers from beyond the stars'. That's where I found out the names for the characters. Anyway, to clear up some confusion, Shlooktapookis is that cone-shaped alien and Spleenk is the one who came up with the name for the Resisty Captain Lard Nar is, well, Captain Lard Nar.
Til' next chapter, see ya later!)
