Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Mars Attacks. Could I at least own one of those ray guns the Martians have? I didn't think so :(. Here comes the Invader Zim and Java the hut look a likes kind of ish….Zim is not based on Invader Zim but I thought I'd mention it here just in case, hey what can I say I like the name Zim. Oh and I also don't own Star Wars which the Java creature is based on
Charlotte gasped, turned and came face to face with a hug worm like creature whose upper torso was raised of the floor, one huge mouth with two large almond eyes and two flabby arms on its side, just below the mouth.
"Ugh" Charlotte stuttered, not sure what to say or do then decided "no not at all"
The creature laughed then turned to the companions that stood around it and laughed before shouting something in a different language, making the others laugh
Glaring at it she tried to yank her wrist free but the grip on it was too tight and before she knew what was happening she was thrown over the creatures 'shoulder'.
"PUT ME DOWN!" she shouted, remembering that when you're being harassed by someone you don't know or like to shout and draw attention, but she also head fears, what if her shouting was in vain. IT seemed that way when the creature carrying her laughed and started to turn around when a deep male's voice came out of nowhere, making her thank all the God's she could think of and thanking them.
"Put her down Haba (Ok Haba is ALMOST Jaba…but Haba is different…it has an H!!!)" (Enter my cool Zim character :D)
Charlotte closed her eyes and prayed that the thing which was holding her would command and to her relief after a couple of seconds did, sending her almost falling to the ground if her rescuer had not stopped her, holding her up from under her arms.
"This will not be forgotten" the creature called Haba growled before slithering away
"Are you ok, miss?"
Blinking, charlotte moved her head upwards and another chocked expression came over her face causing her hero to laugh quietly. She didn't know what she was expecting yet it still surprised her how human her rescuer looked. High thin cheek bones and large dark green bug like eyes were what she came face to face with upon looking up. He was bald and had green coloured skin, but even though he looked far from human, he, in her opinion didn't look threatening.
"Ugh yeh?" she only managed to whisper out in time "thank you"
"No problem" was her reply along with a gentle push bringing her back to her feet
"What is your name?" he asked, smiling a gentle smile
Charlotte, blinked, unsure whether or not to answer, not really knowing how tings were run off of her planet
"Never mind, call me Zim" he cut of her thoughts almost as if he'd read them "come I'll escort you back to where you were heading, that way you wont get caught again"
"The Martian ship" she blurted out before she could stop her self to think
He nodded before holding out his arm and she stared at him for a couple of seconds before deciding to take it for fear of offending him
After walking for a fair few minutes Charlotte looked up after being quiet, her hearing picking up the sound of someone calling
"YOU'RE HIGHNESS"
Glancing at Zim she was expecting him to tell her to ignore it but instead she found a look of annoyance on his face
Raising an eye brow at him in disbelief and confusion she expected him to smile and reassure her, seeing as that was what he seemed good at, as far as she could tell in the few minutes of knowing him, but instead he seemed rather annoyed and even though it was hardly noticeable, a little worried.
"Why" he muttered "no matter how hard I try to have some time to myself do they find me?"
He glanced at charlotte and even though his eyes didn't move, she got the impression he was a little surprised to see her, obviously having forgotten her in the spur of the moment
"Ok just so I warn you, what ever Aethelweard says ignore him and let me do the talking" he hisses then continued in a more gentle manner "don't worry no one's going to hurt you"
She nodded, moving slightly to stand behind him and after a couple of seconds of waiting a crowd of 'people' with the same looks as Zim stopped in front of them.
As they group stood there an elderly version of Zim stepped forwards, limping slightly
"Your highness, I really do no recommend walking around with commoners" he said in a wheezy voice, glaring at the poor Earth girl behind Zim
"Aethelweard!" Zim growled "she is not a commoner and you will do well not to insult others like that I was escorting her back to her ship, in case anything else happens to her"
Charlotte smiled a little, glad he was sticking up for her but it soon turned into unease all over again, when he walked over to a large creature standing a little way behind ' Aethelweard' as Zim had called him and she mentally groaned, knowing it was only her he would be able to miss not noticing the creature even if it was big. It stood, standing on all fours, two large white tusks formed at the side of the mouth making it look like a bit of a mammoth, where a long trunk was placed in-between, making it look like an elephant but larger. The other difference was that it was a light emerald green, with a golden cap in-between it's ears.
"Please don't be afraid, this way we'll get to your destination quicker and undisturbed" he smiled, racing out his hand for her to take a hold
-KIDDO!-
She jumped as a voice appeared in her head and she recognised it as Mdjai's and he didn't sound too happy
-You better go with him! - And she winced as she recognized the deathly tone which was wore than him shouting –his species and ours are old friends, you'll be ok-
Out of habit nodding she reached out her own hand, placing it in Zim's and held her breathe as he lifted her up in front of him before commanding the creature to walk on.
The Martian Ambassador frowned at the engine, moving a few bolts and other parts away before putting them back after removing a very damaged pipe and replacing it (I don't now if that's right because I'm not a mechanic…just go with me here or if not use your own imagination, something's broke and needs to be replaced) but frowned when he heard a familiar sound and groaned, thinking that he had unwanted company, so was quite shocked to see the elephant creature standing at the bottom of the ramp, with a certain blonde haired Earth girl sitting in front of the young prince.
Walking down the slope, he stopped, raising his head to look at the riders and felt himself send Charlotte a glare
"Good to see you again Zim" he smiled up at the young prince
"Hakuchi" Charlotte muttered, as he'd just blurted out something which could have been considered impossible, glancing down at the Martian Ambassador earning a glare in return
"Ugh you are?" Zim asked slightly surprised that the male staring up athim knew his name
"The Martian Ambassador," was the reply, followed by an explanation of what had happened
"Agh my people were wondering what had happened, we received no updates on the attack" Zim said after the short briefing, jumping of the creature, turning to help Charlotte do so
"Ok Kiddo you have some explaining to do" the Martian Ambassador turned, giving her a stern look of anger
"Do not blame her, for she was doing was following every rule which is applied here" Zim cut in before he could have a go at her further "minding her own business and not making any eye contact"
The Martian Ambassador nodded, deciding to drop it for now, seeing as the poor Earth girl looked a little pale
"Could I interest you with an invitation to the royal ball which will be soon?" Zim then continued, ignoring the shocked expression of his followers "any way if not think about it, you are welcome to come"
"Your highness" Aethelweard cut in "we really must get going now your parents will be worried and…"
He was cut of by Zim somehow frowning at him before sighing, turning to Charlotte
"Hopefully we will meet again miss"
Bowing he jumped back onto the emerald elephant, before leading it in the opposite direction, followed by Aethelweard and the rest of the group who had followed them
Glancing at the Martian Ambassador, Charlotte winced at the glare she was getting
"I thought we told you not to wonder of" he growled in that tone where one would rather be shouted at and she wished he actually was shouting at her
"I didn't I got separated from everyone else and was heading back here" she snapped back, feeling tears forming in her eyes
The Martian Ambassador sighed, feeling his anger beginning to melt away, especially at the sadden, scared expression he was getting from the blonde haired, one of worry and full of uncertainty, knowing she'd disobeyed orders, the gutting feeling of not getting right.
"Look if anything happened to you or your friends, I well I'd be in trouble with that lady on your planet and well, cant have anything bad happen to my new Earth friends now could i?" he asked, giving her a reassuring smile
He jumped then when he found himself in a hug, which was not Maria's.
"Agh" he started "the blonde one knows how to show affection"
He winced as she gave him a small kick, pulling back giving him one of her mock glares, before heading back into the ship, but turned back around to face him
"Don't get used to it!" she shouted to him "that was a one of"
Sighing, but with a smile on his face, he shook his head in dis belief, allowing a small chuckle to escape his lips
-So much for only getting along with them for a little while- he though wirily and was soon interrupted by yet another bone crushing hug
"Hello Maria, at least I know someone's ok" he muttered, glancing down at the red haired girl before patting her on the head and let the small smile form into a normal big one as Sam walked past, giving him an odd look, which he could clearly tell was her silent way of asking
'What's wrong with you?'
Shaking his head, he followed up the ramp behind Keiko, who followed the Martian Leader into the ship; all the while he couldn't help but admire how pretty she looked from behind and even if she wasn't Martian but in earth form, getting lost in his thoughts as he watched her long black hair sway gently as it hung down her back and only caught himself in time when he almost tripped right over near the top of the ramp
-How do these Earthlings cope with walking like this?- He questioned, remembering he'd never have done that if he'd still been Martian, for Martians glided along most of the time
Retuning his attention back to closing the door, he closed it before heading to fix the broken engine so they could return to Earth
Well there it is, thanks Minkutei for a review on every chapter (it helps build infusiasm for writing the next part and lets me know someone is still reading). Oh and
