"Talking"
'Thinking'
StressedFlesh pressed against flesh as cries of protest traveled along the wind. He watched from his view on the roof as they shouted at the building. His left antenna rose in question as he watched their actions.
'Do they think a wall can hear them?'
A deep groaning traveled among them and he watched as they stopped their rioting. The field went deathly quiet as they turned their many colored eyes to the huge white doom in the middle of the city. In his opinion, it looked like a ball half stuck in the ground with many indentions along the surface. A door slowly creaked opened from left to right at the very top. The humans and he watched as a metal platform emerged like a moon shaped disk.
'Stupid,' he thought.
The dome appeared to cast a shadow among the protesting humans. A lean, tall figure stepped onto the platform. His crimson eyes narrowed and suddenly widened. Her antennae were longer then a normal Irkens. They fell halfway down her head, but they were tightly curled. Her eyes remained closed as she walked to the edge of the platform. The humans began yelling and chanting their mantra again.
"No Peace."
Her eyes opened and stared down at the humans with piercing emerald eyes. She held her head high, shoulders squared in determination. The curls within her antennae visibly tightened as she calmly watched them.
"No Peace."
"I did not bring you to our planet to have you trample it in your haze of stupidity," she spoke.
The humans went silent and Red watched in confusion.
"I understand your disdain towards the Irkens…but my people are not the people that destroyed you planet."
Her confident gaze turned to something more sympathetic.
"I will not apologize for what the others did, it is not my place to apologize for the sins of another. I refuse to make up reasons…excuses for their actions."
'She's angry,' Red thought.
"The Irkens here are willing to help you…but we will not tolerate any hate. We have strived to live in peace and will not have that altered."
Red watched the humans mumble amongst themselves before they turned their angry eyes to the female Irken.
"Retribution."
The females emerald eyes sparked with anger as she gritted her teeth and firmly said, "We will not pay for crimes placed upon your species! We will not pity you…give you retribution! If you want to survive then take help…as equals…but we are not obligated to you!"
Red watched as the platform retracted and she vanished within the dome again. The humans grumbled before they went silent and disbanded. Something creaked and he quickly turned around.
"Don't you love Leader Zootch?" Klavier questioned with a chuckle.
"I thought your leader was male," Red calmly replied.
"She likes to be referred to as male," Klavier mused as he watched the humans disband.
"Why?"
Klavier shrugged, it was a simple question, but it was not his to answer. Red continued to gaze at the dome.
"He wants to meet with you."
Red looked over in surprise before he carelessly shrugged.
"Why?"
"Let's just say you're someone worthwhile," Klavier carefully phrased.
"What do you mean?"
Klavier shrugged again and went to leave the roof. His foot touched on a stair and he turned to smile at Red. Red raised an antenna in question.
"Remember to floss daily!"
Red's right eye twitched as Klavier vanished.
"Three moons!"
Dib groaned and ran a hand through his hair. He hated politics…any kind. The humans had been progressively growing more hateful toward the Irkens. Dib had decided that they couldn't live in the same area with the Irkens. He saluted as Leader Zootch took a seat. Tak sat beside Dib silently watching as Zootch began grumbling. They knew she was in a bad mood when her antennae curled even tighter.
"It's been three moons!"
"It was bound to happen," Tak stated in a voice that clearly said she was bored.
Zootch glared at Tak and watched as she shrugged.
"Humans are…"
"Stupid," Tak finished for Dib.
"Not amusing," Zootch growled as she picked at her emerald shirt.
"I think that relocating the humans to the more…watery part of the Zeta will solve the problem," Dib offered.
"The Irkens here aren't affected by water because we've adapted, but will the humans forget their grudge against us?" Zootch questioned.
"Never…we're spiteful creatures," Dib answered.
"I know the Irkens here grow tired of the human's…attitude," Zootch supplied, as she tasted the word.
"Then we'll send them to the uninhabited part of Zeta," Tak assured as she looked to Zootch.
"I fear that there may be revolts…or worse," Zootch softly said as she turned her gaze to the window.
"Then we separate them before the problem grows," Dib sighed.
"What about technology?" Tak questioned.
"I invited the humans to our planet…I will not condemn them to death," Zootch assured.
"I'll go with Dib and help anyway I can," Take firmly said. Zootch's antenna slightly rose off her head before she knowingly smiled.
A knock sounded at the door and she yelled for whomever to enter. It creaked open and Zootch frowned as he entered.
"I bring you Red," Klavier greeted with a huge grin as he pushed pass Red.
"Uh…hello?" Red mumbled as moved into the room.
"Why did you bring him?" Zootch growled at Klavier. Their green eyes clashed.
"He wanted to come," Klavier replied with a shrug.
"I did not," Red grumbled.
Klavier grinned as he walked over to Dib and Tak and grinned. They frowned at him and he pouted as he simply sat down. Red glared at Klavier and wished the ground would simply swallow up the Irken.
"How do you like your stay on Zeta?" Zootch questioned.
Red turned his gaze to Zootch and raised an antenna in question. She didn't seem like leader material. Zootch had kept her third finger and her mid-section was not constricted by Tallest attire. Her clothes looked just like his and the others. The only difference was her antennae.
"It's fine," Red quickly said as he warily watched her. She smiled at him and he lowered his antenna.
"Tell me Red," Zootch purred. "Who are you?"
"What do you mean?" Redsnapped as she chuckled.
"You have no respect for authority," Zootch chuckled.
Red cautiously looked over to Klavier. The alien was picking at his claws purposely ignoring everything. He could see the human-Dib-watching everything with Tak by his side.
"I respect nothing," Red calmly replied.
"Your past shows that," Zootch darkly grumbled as she clasped her hands together.
Red eyes didn't show the surprise he felt. He chose to glare at Zootch. She smiled at him and he huffed.
"Nothing to say?" Zootch questioned.
Red glowered before a dark smirk overcame his features.
"Just that," Red drawled with a sly smirk, "I think you need to change sexes."
"What?" Zootch darkly growled.
"If you like being called a man then you should fit the role a little bit better," Red finished.
Red gave a mocking salute with his antennae before he left the room. A smirk rested upon his features as he left the building. He didn't think that a woman pretending to be a man would be able to hold back the revolt the humans seemed to be planning.
'I wonder what Purple is doing.'
Gaz glared into the mirror as she twirled around. Her armor had to be modified. Within three months, she had managed to put on thirteen pounds. Her fingers splayed over the smooth paleness of her stomach. She still maintained a slim figure, but her stomach grew outward. She could officially rest a teacup upon her stomach. Gaz frowned as she turned to her side. Zim had requested looser clothes for her.
She now wore a loose flowing amber skirt that came to her ankles. Her stomach hung over the top a bit. She looked to her left and watched as Diestel saluted her. He carried her new armor with his small arms. The chest armor would cover her spine leaving the rest of her back bare, and it covered her shoulders and her entire chest save for her growing stomach. She imaged it looked like a misshapen 'T'. Wires shot out of the spine area and wrapped around her stomach. A soft mist covered her stomach. Gaz smirked.
"The abdomen barrier is genius," Diestel stated.
Gaz nodded and replied, "Zim being a scientist did pay off for something."
Diestel nodded and Gaz quickly clipped on the wrist cuffs. She would be taking Sarah out tonight while Skoodge helped Zim at the researcher station. She turned back to the mirror and ran her fingers over her stomach. Her violet eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Diestel."
"Yes my Tallest."
"Is my stomach turning green?"
Diestel's thistle colored eyes reflected his confusion as his green eyelids came down a bit and showed his confusion. Diestel walked closet to Gaz and flicked on another light. His eyes gazed at her belly in confusion.
"Well?" Gaz softly questioned.
"It's a pale green around the belly button," Diestel confirmed.
"I'm turning green," Gaz whispered. "Why am I turning green?"
"I do not know my Tallest," Diestel softly said as he tried to avoid her anger.
Gaz fully faced the full-length mirror and her she harshly poked at the green area around her belly button. Her teeth gritted as she pushed her fingers into her stomach.
"My Tallest, that is unwise," Diestel complained.
"You aren't the one turning green," Gaz grumbled.
"I'm already green," Diestel reminded.
Gaz turned her gaze down to him and slightly glared at Diestel. She sighed and figured that glaring at Diestel would get her nowhere. She shrugged and moved to the door. Her lower back already ached from the added weight in front.
