A ship that was recognizably of the sleek, pointed cylinder shape of the Meekrobian styles was parked among a field of the sleek, yellow crystal Meekrob multi-use ships. The large metal hide of the ship stood out like a purple elephant in an empty gym. Zim watched members of the Resisty loading, unloading, and anything else that would be needed to be done beforehand if you expected to not touch down for a long time through the binoculars that sprung from his PAK.
"Good work, Minimoose!" he congratulated, binocular
Rs zipping back into the mettle pod on his back.
"This doesn't make any sense," Tenn thought out loud. "Why would a bunch of concurred species be on Meekrob? They Meekrob aren't the kind to form alliances."
"They have a ship and that's all that matters," Zim said, marching toward the ship yard atop the yellow tinged Meekrobian crystal.
Tenn's antennae pulled back in annoyance. "Do you have any cloaking chips?"
Zim pulled out a few tiny black squares from his PAK. At least there was one good thing about having a roommate.
Dib watched Tenn stick one to her head and press it, instantly disappearing and copied her. He looked around and found that his surroundings looked as though he was seeing them through a soap bubble. It was easy to see himself, Tenn, Zim, and Gaz but everything else seemed off.
"Minimoose! Make sure you keep all the sidekicks here," Zim instructed. "We'll come get you when we have the ship."
"Nyaa!" Minimoose saluted.
Luckily, the docking station had been specially modified for non-Meekrob and had an elevator. The group waited until a very large alien carrying something twice the size of him boarded the elevator. They quickly joined him and were in the middle of a bored journey to the top of the giant crystal when the alien creature's watch beeped and a message played out.
"Blargh garagle drahk bladash! Shmakka bloogle country fried chicken! Gawoop Irken gawoop hishagernager!" it growled, causing Gaz to become annoyed and Dib to cover his ears. The Irkens pulled out a sphere and the growling instantly became understandable.
"I repeat," said the voice of Resisty leader Lard Nar, "very dangerous prisoners have escaped the Meekrob's deep-cells! Two are Irken and two are of an unknown species! Unsure if they are dangerous! Keep a lookout! One of the unknown is said to have been fused with a Meekrob!"
Just then the door dinged open and the escapees were released from the monotony of the bland music that all elevators somehow had. The alien grumbled something about interference from the crystal and lumbered off towards the metal ship, the group surreptitiously following behind it.
"Is that all?" asked a black cloaked alien.
"Just about," replied the larger alien, setting the box down. "Two more and then we're done."
Another, smaller and furrier creature snickered. "I can't believe how easy it is to destroy the Irken's Irk based computer system."
"Don't say that out loud!" scolded the cloaked alien. "Weren't you paying attention to the announcement? The Irkens are loose on the surface! They could be listening!"
"Ha! Those idiots would have attacked us as soon as I said that!"
The creature was right. The only thing holding the two Irkens back was Gaz's death stare. They snuck onto the ship.
"Grr! Those filthy pig worms," growled Zim, turning off his cloaking chip. "They will soon know the power of Irken vengeance!"
Gaz hit him over the head. "We need to get out of here first, idiot."
Tenn quickly found the control room. Skittering on the ceiling so as to keep out of sight, she knocked out everyone on the bridge. She lowered herself onto the floor and the ship floated above the ground then shot toward the robots down bellow.
Outside, the aliens gapped as the ship took off without them. The cloaked figure turned toward the furry one.
"Told you that you shouldn't have said anything."
Thousands of miles away and already preparing to jump into the fourth dimension, the Irkens prepared to torture the Resisty crew.
"Tell us what you have done to Irk and we won't experiment on you," growled Tenn.
"Never, Irken scum!"
Dib, meanwhile, was wandering the halls in wonder. "Wow! A real alien ship! I mean, I have been inside a few before but never one this large! It's amazing! Hey, I wonder where the kitchen is."
Suddenly, Lard Nar pounced, yelling. "I've got you now, Irken helper!"
Reflexes honed from the frequent fights with Zim were all that caused the boy to dodge and shoot a squirt gun at his attacker.
"What the…AGGG! WHY DOES IT BURN!" shouted the Vortian.
"Hmm, so water does work on other aliens besides Irkens," Dib said out loud. "Hey, what are you, anyway?"
"I won't answer to you, filth!" shouted Lard Nar.
"I won't let Zim, Tenn, or Gaz hurt you if you tell me."
"Never! Wait. Gaz does not sound like an Irken name."
"It's not. Okay, look. I'll tell you about my species if you'll tell me about yours."
"Why would I want to know about an Irken alia?"
"Because the Irken Empire is my enemy."
Sorry I haven't updated in so long and the chapters I did post for this story have been mostly fillers. I'll try to update some other stories as well. OKAY, OKAY! I GET IT ALREADY! I'm updating Treachery! Shesh!
Fun fact that I've made up right now! Meekrobian crystal generates some low magnetic waves which are undetectable by most species but is enough to have spawned the Meekrob and disrupt teleportation rays. This is why the Meekrob can't move beyond the reaches of the crystal.
Review! And maybe I'll update again.
