Chapter 5 - Friends
At lunch...
I sat by myself, at another table. Heh, that's what the new kid's like. Even when I went to school in the underground, I was still a freak. Something...someone was coming to sit next to me. Oh no...it was Zim.
"You! Filthy worm baby! This is my table!"
"Well, there's nowhere else to sit, so sorry." Zim sat there anyway, but he didn't even look at me once.
"Zim, I need to tell you something."
"What could you possibly tell me that could be of any concern?"
"Ohhoho, a LOT." I dragged him out to the hallway.
"Do not DARE to touch ZIM again!"
"Hmpf. I think I can."
"And what exactly gives you that right."
"Because I'm Tallest Zo-e."
"Zo-e? Why would you pretend to be human?"
"Because...umm...I want to? Yeah, I want to."
"My Tallest! What are you doing on Earth?!"
"Oh, no reason. Just taking a vaca-WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M HERE FOR?! I'm here to help you on your mission."
"Help? Thank you, but I need no 'help'."
"Na, I want to."
"FINE."
We went back to our table. "Hey! Why are you still here?" I said.
"I told you, this is my table."
"Ooh..."
Recess...
"Hey, Zo-e." The three girls sat next to me.
"Umm...hi? I don't have money or anything."
"No, no, it's not that. We were talking with Biyu, and she says that she trusts you," said Athena.
"Trusts me? For what?"
They dragged me to the back of the skool alley. "Ok. You're not gonna believe this. We're... all 'special.'"
"What do you mean by special?"
"We know that you're an alien."
"Riiiiiight..."
"Our friend Biyu here has a few...abilities. She's a pure hearted human."
I was SO confused...I thought I was just in another one of Rox's crazy dreams again...
"I'm a vampire. Monei' here is a werewolf. I have super speed, the ability to fly, and super strength. I have one personal ability, which is reading minds. Me and Monei are both immortal."
Monei' rolled her eyes. "Anyway, my powers are an aggressive appetite and temper, awesome nocturnal vision, HUGE strength, and an awesome sense of smell."
"Now, you need to tell us about your technology, powers, and abilities. I can tell when you're lying too, so better off telling the truth."
Why should I share my secrets with some....Earthlings? No...I have to now...they told me everything...
"That's right, you do."
I can't even think to myself anymore...
"Nope."
"It's FINE. I thought my abilities and powers were stupid too!"
"Monei, you're a dog."
"SHUT UP!"
I sighed. "The words will probably be too hard to understand...but I'll tell you anyway. I have a cybernetic implant that can hypnotize others to obey my commands." I spoke under my breath, "It's much better than Tak's, 10 times better...mine even works on the most intelligent people in the world...the process can't be interrupted either, so she stick that up her..."
I spoke in my loud voice again and said, "My disguise is a holographic generator, which I made myself. I'm a very good engineer, and I've played around and upgraded most of my equipment. I also have the technology to teleport."
"That's...ok. It's not stupid." I could tell that she was lying anyway.
"And what about that round thing on your back?"
Biyu...could see my true form? Oh god, I'm screwed now...
"That's my PAK. It has 4 mechanical spider legs and bat wings for gliding. Those are the basic things that I use. There's a LOT more things in the PAK that I can't really list because there's so many. Plus, our technology is so much more advanced, that we need the PAK to live. It's our brain pretty much, and we can live for 10 minutes without it. It usually finds us if it's disconnected to us though, and if it doesn't find us, it needs another host."
"Ok, why don't you let Biyu take a break from using her powers and show us how you really look."
"Only if you guys show me."
Monei' started to transform. Her paws and ears came out, her fur showed, and her tail came out too. Athena's eyes turned red, her skin was a very pale white, and her vampire teeth came out. Biyu didn't change at all.
"Fine."
You guys must've really been wondering how I really look like, huh? Well, let's just say I don't look like a typical Irken...
I have curly antennas with two squiggly lines in the middle of them. One points up and another down. I have light blue eyes, long eyelashes, and a blue and gray suit. My hands are the same as my Tallests, except with a different pattern, and finally, my PAK is gray with blue spots. I have a rather odd trademark though. A crescent moon shaped scar on my face. Oh, and I don't float like my Tallests, or have the same form of them. I'm very odd indeed.
I did the special sequence on my watch and turned into my true form.
"You look...weird." I could already tell that Athena was the type of person that doesn't like to compliment a lot.
"I think she looks nice." Biyu, always nice and friendly.
