Invader Zim 》Not Just a Defect 《

Ch.39

With Tallest Red 

Moo-Ping 10 {Prison Planet} 

Tallest Red was getting transferred to his own holding cell. 

Most of the prisoners have to share a large cell, on account of there being so many of them. 

But, there are some prisoners who get to stay in their own cell, depending on how dangerous they are. 

Red HAD been staying in a shared cell with several other aliens, but he was being transferred because he had gotten into a fight with one of the bigger ones. He was an Irken leader yes, but he still has his training from when he was an Elite. 

Of course, considering Red was a former Irken leader, the smaller prisoners were all terrified of him.

Long story short, Red almost killed the guy. 

He sighed as he was escorted down the hall. 

The warden was having his transferred to his own cell. 

At least he didn’t have to worry about other aliens bothering him. 

They stopped at an empty cell and opened the electric force field, pushing him in before closing it. The two guards left, leaving the ex-Tallest alone. He had been transferred in a cellblock. 

He thinks it’s cellblock A? He couldn’t remember, but they had passed a could of other cells after entering the block. There had been a variety of aliens, some he recognized, but others he couldn't. 

“Well, at least they didn’t deactivate my PAK, would have been a lot easier…” said Red to himself. He was wearing the prisoner uniform now, having his Tallest uniform taken away. Most of the functions in his PAK had also been disabled, such as lasers and telicom communicators, but luckily they kept his memory, battery, and nutrient cell enabled. 

Unfortunately, he wasn’t allowed to eat any snacks or food for that matter, since the nutrient cell in his PAK had been enabled. 

“To kill you? They won’t do that you know. Not unless Tallest Purple gives them permission. No, he wants you alive so you can suffer” said a female voice with a slight Bristish accent. 

Tallest Red jumped, startled. 

He looked through the forcefield and saw a familiar Irken. 

“Tak!?” said Tallest Red. 

He WITNESSED Zim killing her!

“Yes. Tallest Purple had my body cloned after my old one died. Sent me to Earth saying that if I can show him I can be trustworthy, he would make me an Invader. Unfortunately I didn’t pass the test” said Tak, chuckling. She wasn’t looking up at the ex-Tallest, instead looking down at what appeared to be a human tablet with a digital drawing pen. 

“So...why are you here anyway?” asked Red. 

“One of the fleets found an Insectivide prison ship, so they rescued the prisoner inside. Mostly Vortians, a couple of other alien species. But they found the leader of the Resisty as well” said Tak, paying more attention to her tablet. 

“Lard Nar!?” said Red, shocked. 

After the previous Resisty ship shrinky-self destructed, he hadn’t heard much about the Resistance since they disappeared! 

“Yah. So Tallest Purple had him sent to Earth as well. Apparently me, Skoodge, and now the Vortian had been sent to Zim. Anyway, I was acting like a moody Earth teenager, I admit. Zim got angry I wasn’t cooperating, so the Vortian grabbed my holopad I was drawing on and smashed it on the ground. I got angry and tried to kill him. Of course, Zim saved the Vortian in ‘the nick of time’, and I was sent here. The Vortian must have felt bad that I tried killing him so he gave me a new Earth tablet with a digital drawing pen and a pair of headphones. I still hate him though, since he is an annoying little Vortian piece of-” said Tak, about to say an Earth curse word, but the Tallest didn’t want to hear it.
