Chapter 2
Meanwhile back on "The Massive"…
"This way!" yelled Tallest Red, as he pointed down a dark hallway. Red quickly hovered down the hallway with Tallest purple and two armed Irken guards on his heels. An explosion caused The Massive to once again shudder.
"The core is gonna go critical soon!" yelled Purple. "We need to get to the escape pods!" At that one of the guards handed tallest red a gun and told him to go ahead with Purple; he and the other guard would hold off the Omegas.
"Here they come!" screamed the second guard as he fired his laser down the hallway. "Jing, give me a hand! Run my Tallest! We'll hold these bastards!" A blue shot of energy cut through the air striking the other guard, Jing, on the shoulder, instantly searing his flesh.
"Argh!" cried Jing, as he fell to the floor. Tallest Purple unbuckled a small round smoke grenade from the belt and rolled it down the hallway. It exploded as more blue bursts of plasma came flying down the hallway. They took cover as Zing turned and fired covering shots into the thick black smoke. Zing was then hit in the leg and collapsed onto the hard floor. Dark red blood oozed out. Jing grabbed Zing and pulled him around the corner to safety.
"Run!" screamed Zing "This is the last time I'll tell you before I kill you myself!" Normally talking to a Tallest like that would have earned you a one way ticket to Hobo 13, but under the circumstances they let it go.
"C'mon!" said Tallest Red "We need to get to the pods!" They quickly hovered down the adjacent hallway leaving Zing and Jing firing wildly into the black smoke. They heard the screech of the Omega.
"I think I got one!" yelled Jing. He knew that it didn't matter. He knew that there were probably hundreds on board by now., but he didn't care. Every dead Omega meant something to him. He would fight until the very last bit of breathe left his Irken lungs.
The Tallest hovered down the darken corridors following the signs to the escape pods. The lights were flickering on and off. They then rounded a corner and opened a door marked "Escape Pods" They burst through the door and came face to face with an Omega.
The Omegas were a race composed of pure energy. In the early part of their existence they were nothing more than floating masses of blue energy, but over time they harnessed technology and built themselves a vessel. They all stood about 7ft. tall. They had the frame of a human, but the joints were made of a gold metal, and the arms, legs and chest cavities were made of an extremely strong glass. The blue electrified energy that was their existence coursed through their slick glass bodies, like power to a machine. Their intelligence was unsurpassable. Their speed and agility were immeasurable. The perfect race; devoid of pity, sorrow, or mercy.
Red immediately pulled his gun and fired at the Omega, but the Omega dodged it and shot blue plasma from the cannon mounted on it's wrist. Red jumped to avoid being hit, and landed hard on the steel floor. The Omega advanced on him and just as he stood up, he was hit back into the wall. The Omega grabbed Red's neck and lifted him into the air.
"I have been instructed to exterminate all Irkens" said the Omega in a cold mechanized voice. He raised his weapon to Tallest Red's neck. "Resistance is and always was useless."
A shot rang out in the room as the Omega's head burst and blue energy dissipated into the air. The empty shell fell to the floor along with Red, He massaged his neck and looked up to see Purple holding a smoking Irken laser.
"I told you lasers were better." said Red in a smart-ass tone, as he hovered to the only remaining escape pod. Both of them entered.
"Argh! I should have let him kill you" shrieked Purple, as the rockets roared and the pod shot into the starry recess of space. Inside the pod Red turned to Purple.
"It's time." said Red in a solemn voice. Purple knew what he meant and pulled the key that was hanging from his neck. Red then pulled out a black box with two keyholes. Purple and Red each inserted their keys into the box. And they both said the Irken code.
"Do you wish to execute?" inquired a mechanized female voice. Red then input the final password into the box and hit "Enter".
"The Massive" then exploded into a gigantic burning ball of fire.
Back on Earth…
"Tak!" shouted Zim in a confused voice. He stood and wiped the snow off him, only to be hit right back down. "GIR, protect your master!" Zim cried cowering in the snow.
"What the hell do you think you are doing anywhere near Project: Alpha!" shrieked an angry Tak, who's green face was now turning red. "This is the Empire's last hope and I will not allow you to condemn our race!" her fists were clenched and her teeth were grit. Zim couldn't even conquer this backwater planet let alone save the Empire.
"The Tallest told me to you idiot! They said that they sent the…whatever it is to me, not you!" yelled Zim as he once again tried to stand up.
"They didn't send it to you, an asteroid hit the transport and knocked it off course, and of course it had to land in the hands of the most incompetent Irken to ever live!" she was shouting and swinging her fist, but with the howling of the wind, and the noise of the machine, Zim just tuned her out.
"We hit something!" cried GIR as he jumped out of the hole and ran towards the others. "It's small and…" said GIR as he tripped and fell face first into the snow.
"Of course it's small you idiot! It's composed of nano-atoms. It is matter compressed using massive amounts of energy. You have no idea of the power that you are toying with." said Tak as she angrily to the hole that had been created. Dib pulled his black trench coat closer and followed her with Gaz behind him.
"Dib!" yelled Zim "If I can't go near it neither can you!" Zim ran to pull Dib back, but Tak stopped him and screamed "The Dib-human is smarter than you, and I haven't been briefed on this weapon yet, so I want him to accompany me!" Dib then gave Zim an evil grin and stuck out his tongue. Zim kicked the snow and began to mutter to himself.
Tak trudged across the snow over to the hole with Dib and Gaz behind her. GIR was running around in the snow and Zim returned to the cruiser to try and contact the Tallest once again
