the arc, resident living courters*
There was a girl with purple hair sitting in a room with a device that looked a video game. She was practically a master at it. Destroying enemies, collecting coins and power ups. She was smooth like water. He figure happened to also be smooth. All eyes were on her when she first appeared but only because all they really wanted to do is get her in bed with them. That was until she made them terrified of her and not let anyone near her. She was heading towards the final boss when something appeared on the screen of her tv. There was a live broadcast of someone sitting in a throne. It wasn't human so she didn't care. She wouldn't care if it was human. She went back to playing her game and barely payed attention to it.
He was basically talking about humans being the problem or the reason why this war started or something like that. Personally she thought her race was kind of stupid so she could see why they were angry. Still though she didn't care. She was almost finished with the boss. Readying her final attack.
"And as for you... Professor Membrane." That quickly got her attention as she looked up shocked. She then got a good view of the alien. He was wearing royal armor with a red crystal in the chest plate and a mask over his face. He was pointing at the camera making sure it was directed towards the professor. "I... am coming for you." The transmission then cut and ended with an Invader symbol at the end. The girl stared at the screen in complete silence as her character died and her game system showed a game over screen.
"What does he want with my dad?" She thought worriedly.
planet Irk, home of the demons*
Zim watched over his kingdom. His generals training new soldiers and ensuring that Irkens show no mercy to the enemy. His warriors preparing weapons, air crafts, and robotic exo-skeletons and suits. He saw this and smiled. He looked down and held onto something in his hand. It was a necklace. It was an Irken insignia with a heart in the middle, symbolizing a smeet or new born. He brushed over it with his thumb and smiled. Zim then placed it around his neck and tucked it underneath his armor.
"My king." Zim looked to see Kree behind him.
"Ah Kree. What news do you bring?" He asked turning towards her.
"Everything is nearly complete for departure. All of the fuel cells are almost refueled. Your army... is ready for your command." She said.
"Perfect. Once everything is complete, have everything ready for take off. I want the humans to feel My wrath." He said. To his left, a door open with Tenn running towards him.
"My tallest, we found something you'll want to see!" She said excitedly. Both Zim and Kree followed Tenn to where ever it was that's severely important. When they entered through the last door, they entered a room filled with robotic parts, repairing drones, tons of small deactivated droids, and multiple enchantment stones and runes. Tak was at a control panel, gathering intel on this project while Skooge picked up one of the droids and studied its figure and design. They were about the size of a stuffed animal so they were easy to lift. Zim walked in curious about these robots.
"What are they?" He asked.
"From these files. They go by many names. Selective Information Retrieval, Selectively Invassive Robot, Semi-Intelligent Robot, Sentient Irken Robot, Sentinal Irken Robot,Sentry Irken Robot, Servant Irken Robot, Slave Irken Robot, Soldier Irken Robot, Specialized Invader Robot, Supporting Invader Robot, and Supportive Irken Robot. But seeing as how they couldn't chose one, they just called them S.I.R units." Tak explained. "They were designed to be given to an Irken for their new invader program and are to follow any order that is given to them by their assigned Irken." She said. Zim looked around, seeing the potential they could have inside these small droids. That when he got an idea.
"Before we take off, I want every Irken to be assigned a S.I.R unit. They can be useful in this war if we want to destroy those filthy pieces of shit!" He ordered.
"Yes my tallest." Tak responded as she looked at the schematics for the operation. Zim looked around and saw his generals begin to work. He was about leave until something catch his eye. He was staring at a S.I.R unit that was sitting in the middle of a large enchantment circle.
"What's this?" He asked as he got closer to it. They all stopped to look at what he was talking about. As they got closer, they started to question why it was there and what was the purpose for it. There were several parts where the Irken language was carved into the the metal. The same went for the circle it's self. As he studied it, Zim started to question what made it so special. Not realizing, Zim placed his hands on the circle and a powerful serge of magic flow through him and hit the circle. Zim quickly pulled his hands away. He was in complete shock as stones with ancient markings began to glow and levitate. Then a machine started come down and aimed at the S.I.R unit. It was like a giant Tesla coil with a ray gun attachment. As they saw this, Zim started to notice that the stone in his chest plate began to pulse. He started to theorize that they wanted to use the stone in order to activate this droid but they failed after so many attempts.
"Could it be because the stone didn't see them as worthy of using it's power?" He thought. There was only one way to find out. So he placed his hands on the circle, using his power to activate this enchantment. As it flowed through his body, his demonic magic was giving the stones power and started to electrify the S.I.R unit as the machine began to power up. At full charge it shot a green plasma beam straight at the robot. Causing its arms and legs to tense while forcing its body to lift itself up. Zim kept his hands down as the droid filled with energy. He then lifted his hands and stepped back as the machine deactivated and the stones dropped to the floor. Everything was silent and the robot still haven't moved. Zim had his generals along with himself to keep at a distance. They watched as the robot just laid there. Motionless and inactive.
Suddenly, it's eyes lit up red and instantly jumped over to Zim and saluted.
"GIR. Reporting for duty." It said.
"Gir? What does the g stand for?" Zim asked confused.
"I... don't know." His eyes then turned green and his tone of voice became more high pitched. They all stared at Gir in complete confusion, not understanding its logic. "Eehheheheehehe!" He laughed as he joyfully punched himself in the head. Then they became even more confused.
"Is it supposed to stupid?" Zim asked. Tak then pulled out a scanner and looked over the robot. After a few seconds, it gave her a full analysis on Gir.
"According to these scans. Extremely." She stated. Gir looked to his left and started to walk. He then tripped over his own feet and face planted the floor.
"Hi floor!" He said excitedly. Zim just stared at it with complete regret.
"Is it too late to scrap him?" He asked.
"So what's we's gonna do masta?!" Gir asked while standing up.
"Now it is." Skooge said. Zim then rubbed his eye with his thumb and his index finger.
"Damn it." Zim said. He then looked at the small robot. "Well... let's hope he's useful." He said. "GIR!" He called. Gir then came to attention and his eyes turned red. "You are to follow any order I give you and are to carry out this order until it is finished. You are to remain loyal to me and me alone. Do I make myself clear!" He demanded.
"I shall follow your orders without question, my master!" Gir said.
"Good. Now for your first ord-."
"Quick question, why am I doing this again?" He said in a happy tone as his eyes changed back. Zim then became annoyed.
"Just go... stare at a wall!!" He shouted. Gir then ran towards a wall and stared at it. "Stupid isn't the word to describe him." Skooge said.
"He's a fucking idiot." Zim said. After some time, every Irken in Zim's army was equipped with a S.I.R unit. Including Tak, Tenn, Skooge, and Kree. Just like Gir, Tak's robot named Mimi was also different but not much. The only noticeable difference was that her right hand was more of a claw with a wire connected from her hand to the back of her head. The demons of Irk were now ready for take off in the flag ship of the Irken empire. The massive. (Now y'all are probably wondering what Zim is thinking of this. Well his thought process on the name was because it was named after his... you get what I'm saying.) As they began to leave Irk, a portal was opened and they were gone within seconds.
on board the arc*
The professor's daughter was leaving her room to head over to the cafeteria until she bumped into Dib.
"Sorry Gaz, didn't see you there." He said. Gaz just looked at him with annoyance.
"What do you want Dib." She said coldly.
"Dad wants to see you. He says it's important." Dib expressed. She couldn't really care for what Dib wanted but hearing that her father has something important to tell her, she might as well see what it is. After going through multiple halls, Gaz met with father. Professor Membrane.
"You wanted to see me dad?" She asked.
"Yes Gaz. You see, Dib was always the one to collect artifact when they are found. So this time I want you to be the one to do it." He explained. Gaz was surprised by this but she didn't show it.
"So you're not going to worry about the demons and the threat that who ever that guy directed towards you." Gaz said.
"Do not worry Gazlene. Zim wouldn't dare come into our areas when we have the relics and they don't." The Professor stated. They had collected both holy and demon relics over the years. But there were more of the demonic ones then holy ones. "Besides... I've stationed outpost at the edge of our side of space. Securing our safety." He said. He did give multiple reasons why it's completely safe, but Gaz still didn't believe it was a good idea.
"Alright. Where am I going?" She asked.
"It's a small grass land planet in the sigma quadrant. Planet Seruba. We haven't identified what origin it is but this artifact is extremely powerful." He said. Down in ship hanger, there was a girl refueling one of the transport ships and wiped the sweat off of her head. She then looked to her right and saw Gaz heading towards the ship.
"Well what the hell are you doing here? You never leave your room." She asked in a playful tone while hugging her.
"Hey Kristie. Dad's having me get the thing this time." She said. Kristie was a soldier for the humans and she was the only friend Gaz had on this ship. Actually, she was the only friend Gaz had ever.
"Well we're currently refueling right now so it won't take long to get down there." Kristie said. Gaz nodded and went inside. After Half an hour, the transports were finally refueled and prepped for take off. There were about four ships heading for Seruba with about thirty or more soldiers. It took at least an hour to arrive at Seruba but we're finally able to land. The humans began to set up a perimeter before beginning their search. The chief officer of this group then noticed a forest in the direction of artifact.
"Simmons, Colburn, Menendez! You three clear out that forest and fire a flare to give the all clear." The chief officer ordered. The three ran for the forest and entered the shadows of the vegetation. Simmons looked through the thermal scoop on his weapon, nothing had shown up.
"Colburn, you see anything?" Simmons asked.
"Nothing here comrade." Colburn replied.
"What about you Menendez. You got anything?" Simmons asked. Nothing but silence. Simmons then began to turn around. "Menendez what are you-" He was then silenced by the site of Menendez hanging from a tree. His helmet was busted open as blood dripped down his body and onto the ground.
"Colburn hand me the flair gun." He called. As soon as his fellow soldier grabbed it, Colburn was then swiftly snatched into the shadows. Flair gun included. Simmons quickly and frantically aimed his gun at the surrounding area. Turning left, checking behind him, nothing seemed to be there. He began to slowly step back while keeping his gun pointed towards the shadows. He stopped, listening to the area. It was as if time had stopped as his face was coated with sweat. Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed his head swiftly turned it completely around, breaking his neck in the process. Simmons then dropped his gun and fell to the ground, dead. Back at base, Gaz walked up to the chief commander.
"Well where is it?" Gaz asked a little irritated.
"They should be done by now. What are they doing." He said. A second later, a green flair was shot into the air. Giving the all clear.
"ALRIGHT, LETS MOVE OUT!!!!!" The chief commander shouted. As they progressed through the forest, there was a strange whirling noise ahead of them. The forest ended and in the clearing, there was a large metallic temple with a glowing green light at the top. They prepared for the artifact to be extracted as Gaz walked towards it with Kristie next to her. The containment unit was covered in multiple magic seals and crest.
"Now all I've got to do is get it and leave." Gaz said as she reached for the containment unit.
"Rahhahaahahaahahaahahah! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Gaz then stopped and quickly turned around. Everyone then stopped and became battle ready. "Well would you look at that. The humans think they have completed their little mission. When all they did was walk in a little surprise party we set up for them." A dark ominous voice said. Gaz started to look around. Trying to see what was going on. "So sorry humans. But that artifact... is OURS." It said in a deep and dark tone. It was silent from then on. Everyone was on edge trying to figure out what was going to happen.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Screams were heard as there was a soldier with his foot caught in a bear trap. Suddenly a large spike came up from beneath him and went straight through his body and out of his face. Suddenly they were surrounded By Irkens And small droids charging straight at them.
"LET THE HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!"
