Saturnine
(Mainly) From the Imagination of Amonl'isa
Holy Outsanity! Is this a THIRD chapter? In one night? Wow. Somebody, do something! Let the birds cover the suuun, we're all gonna diiiee.
And wtf? Purple is so nice to Kaz...Haha, poor Kaz.
Okay enough with Amonl'isa's ranting. I'm clearly NOT Jhonen, so WHY. DO. I. HAVE. TO. KEEP. TELLING. YOU. THAT?
Chapter Three
Terminus
"A long night, eh?"
"You know it. I've got to work on a few things, sorry I had to bother you. Urgh...Do you want to keep the transmission?"
"It's fine, go on and work on...Whatever it is you have to work on."
"Got it, bye."
Click.
Kaz got off of the chair, pulling open a door to a closet-like structure. Pulling out a few gadgets, she walked over to her bed, seating herself on it. Next to her was a large, tinted window, where she could see the Armada flying around the Massive. She sighed, watching as a small screen popped up from the gadget. It was a hologram, of course, and she smiled.
"Well...Here goes nothing."
She pressed a few buttons on the holographic screen, which then gave her a few choices of costumes. She switched a few things around, selecting the race to 'human' as she did. A human in their late teens would work, of course. Until further notice. Her height wouldn't let her be anything smaller. She switched it around, toggling it, and mismatching things, before she finally found some sort of outfit she liked. Walking to her computer, she sent another transmission to Bak. Amazingly, her short friend was at the seat.
"Holy mother of Cheese! Who the hell are you?" She screamed, throwing something at the screen.
"Bak, it's me. Kaz."
"Oh."
"I can't stay long, sorry for calling you so much, but have you gotten your's together?"
"No..."
"Well get on it. We'll be going soon."
"Fine! But only because I need to, not because you told me to."
"Whatever, bye."
"Bye."
Click, again.
Kaz went back to her bed, settling on it as she stared out the window, before deactivating the handheld hologram. The holographic screen replaced itself within the small tube, and she placed it nicely in her orange-shaded PAK. Getting up, she went to a small desk, removing the PAK for a minute. She closed her eyes, her Lifeclock becoming visible. "Eh..." She worked on it for a minute or two, before having to replace it. From there, she worked on a small little graphic device, much smaller than her's. One that you could place into a small bot of some sort, just imbed it under the metalic skin, or something.
The small chip took up most of her time, though her PAK recharged her of all lost energy. Stretching from her work, she slid out of her sliding door, and went back to visit the Tallest.
"Kaaaaz! Oh, hello Kaz." Purple chimed, waving an arm around. The other one had a puppet of Red on it. "We're getting ready to go to Gymmavia. Remember, you said you'd stay with the Massive."
"Yes, I remember, My Tallest." She saluted, taking her seat at her usual computer. The Armada, through directions of the Tallest - mainly Purple, because Red still seemed under the weather, went into full turnabout, and headed toward a small planet, toward the edge of the Irken Empire. The small, desolate planet that nobody visited very often, because they didn't really need to work out before eating. Heck, many of the Irkens didn't even eat that much. Though the Tallests did...
"Here we are, My Tallest." Kaz chimed up, looking back at them.
"Good, good! C'mon Red!" Purple grabbed Red's arm, pulling him into one of the beams, before transporting himself out. The Elites shut down their computers, and Kaz took reference to the main one, as they started beaming themselves to the planet, to watch their Tallests on a stairmaster. Beams illuminated the colorless sky of space as many of the pilots took their leave as well. "Alone, again. Down to business."
She brought up a large screen. Shutting down the spy units connected to the main program, she made her call out to Iorg.
"Bak?"
"Yes?"
She was greeted by a human girl with long, brown hair, who was wearing the strangest outfit. On her lap, was an orange cat.
"Interesting color scheme, Bak."
"Yeah, well..."
"It's fine. How are things going on Iorg?"
"All life-forms are wiped out, we're fine. I'll be sure to send the Tallests a transmission...From after we arrive on Earth."
"About that, Bak. I'll see if I can beam you in to the Massive tonight, but we have a lot of planning."
"I hate planning." She protested, crossing her arms over the cat.
"We know...The whole Irken Armada knows."
"Hehehe."
"But we have to do it, so listen up. I need you ready by the time my shift ends. You got that? We have to get a ship, too... You have a voot runner, correct?"
"Yes."
"Well we'll need it, so make sure to sneak it into the Armada tonight. I'll beam you up through it. Be careful though, I'll see what I can do about weapons..."
Kaz typed away at a few keys, showing her what both the Tallests, and the Armada, were doing at the moment. "Now would be good, but since you can't..."
She pressed a few more keys, creating a small bump in the security system. Plugging in her handheld, she downloaded one of the programs to it, so she could reprogram the security. Slowly, she drifted two of the defensive ships away from eachother, creating a small gap near the Massive.
"There, around back, keep yourself there. We'll need your ship. Got it?"
"Yes..." She raised her hand, petting the cat on her lap.
"Good. And about an escape plan. The Tallests will notice my absence, Purple if anybody," She paused, muttering about how Purple seemed desperate for her mechanical skills. "So we need to make sure nobody follows us. A voot runner against the Armada has no chance, even with the shut down weaponry..." She pressed a few more keys, disabling a few of the smaller ships. "That way they won't be able to get you..."
Bak nodded, but remained quiet.
"So we have to get out of her quickly. I'll pack a few things to go...And then...Well, I'm not an Invader, but a SIR'd be nice..."
"You can use Kak..." Bak suggested, raising an eyebrow. "No thanks, really."
"Fine."
They went on silently, except for Kaz, who was busy attacking the Armada from inside. "I hope they don't mind a few bugs..."
"Haha..."
"Yeah. I'll see you soon..." She paused, looking to the screen with the Tallests. "They should be back pretty soon, they don't like Gymmavia. Bye."
Click.
She cut it short without much else, closing down most of the programs, except for the monitoring system of the Armada. Like clockwork, Purple and Red beamed up, a very unhappy look on both of their faces. "I told you this was a bad idea!" Purple waved a finger at Red, who didn't look so good.
"Yeah, yeah I know. We've got the Snack-A-Thon follow-up tomorrow..."
Kaz stopped herself from laughing.
'Kaz! How'd things go?" Purple asked, watching her carefully as the - for the second time - Elite Irkens filed onto the ship, again.
"Fine, really..."
"Good. Here's some chips." He reached out a hand and gave her some chips, which she took. Though deciding they were poisoned, she didn't eat them.
The day wore on nicely, aside from a few jabbering remarks from Purple to Red, Red to Purple, and back again. The Elite force seemed annoyed, but didn't dare bother telling the Tallests. They would be doomed if they did. So the day wore on, and eventually the fighting between Red and Purple got so annoying, that Kaz couldn't do much work. Though it didn't matter. On the large screen, a small voot runner was visible from the corner of the Armada.
Kaz's day ended quickly, and she rushed to her quarters, only to be stopped by Purple.
"Hey Kaaaaaz. Wanna go to the follow-up tomorrow?" He suggested, walking up to her. It was then that she realized just how tall she was, and made an effort to look short.
"Uhm...I think I'd better stay with the Massive, make sure everything runs smoothly." Purple looked unhappy.
"Are you sure? Because everybody gets snacks..."
"I'm sure, sorry My Tallest." He raised an eyebrow, but turned to leave without complaint.
"Bye, My Tallest." He turned around, looking at her.
"Whuh? Uh, bye..." He shook his head, walking back to find Red.
Kaz went to her quarters quickly, dusting off an old transporter before messaging Bak. Upon the okay, she beamed her friend up to the Massive, all while blocking their security for a few moments.
"Ah...The Massive, nice to be back...I think..." The shorter alien smiled, then frowned, noticing just how tall Kaz was.
"Damn! Why are you taller than me?" She complained, sitting on Kaz's bed.
"I've always been taller than you..."
"...So?"
"Okay, here's the plan..."
