//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Cutie Mark Invaders! YAY! // Story: My Little Invader // by SketchPad101 //------------------------------// Chapter 5: Cutie Mark Invaders! YAY! After yesterday's events, Zim kept himself isolated in his base. He began planning to take over Equestria by launching a surprise attack using The Massive and the Irken Armada. But things didn't go so well for Zim that morning, as he was about to finish the preparations on the first part of the plan, the doorbell rang. "Eh!? GIR! Get the door! I'm busy!", Zim shouted. GIR completely ignores his master watching the Irken TV shows being streamed into the various T.V. screens in that GIR had at his dispose. "GIR!......GIR! Fine! I'll get the door!", Zim shouting to his robot partner. Zim goes upstairs and puts on his pony disguise to rush to the front door. When he opens the door he is greeted by a small yellow colored filly with a bow on her head. The filly carried a wagon behind her and was assisted by a white Unicorn and a orange Pegasus. "Hello mister!", says the little filly, "I'm Apple Bloom and these are my friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, and we're The Cutie Mark Crusaders! We're trying to get our Cutie Marks in marketing!" Zim eyed the little fillies, "Get out of my face, I have no need for your Horsey-Horse meats!", he shouted and slammed the door in their faces. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were left in awe and confuse-meant. Scootaloo, on the other hand was outraged! "Hey! You get out of there, Right now!", she shouted as she banged on the door. But when Scootaloo managed to open the door they were stunned at the sight of Zim's house. It was all dark and misshapen. The most freighting thing they saw as the crept in the house was a creepy painting of a Green Monkey with big huge eyes looking at the three fillies. It disturbed them as they thought the Monkey was looking at them. "What is the place? We should go! Like....Now!", Sweetie said backing into the center of the room. "OW!", she rammed into something. It was GIR, in a pony disguise that made him appear to be a filly with a metallic coat. GIR looked at Sweetie Belle, and Sweetie looked back at GIR. there was a long awkward silence until. "Ah!", Sweetie screamed. GIR screamed back at her but with a smile on his face, "AH!", Gir stopped and giggled, "You are so cute!", he put his finger on Sweetie's forehead, then tightly hugging. Sweetie didn't know how to react. So she reacted how ''anypony'' would in this situation, she hugged her new robot friend back. "Aw, you're so cute!", she said while snuggling GIR's face and since GIR's face was more soft in this universe he was even more huggable. Zim walks in and notices that GIR isn't in his disguise and tries to stop Sweetie Belle. But then suddenly Zim just suddenly stops running towards them. He stands there in his pony disguise looking at the two hugging and starts to feel something, this warm feeling in his body. "The Feels!", Zim shouted as curled into ball with pain surging through his body. But he realized there a bit was also a small amount of warmth. He never had this sort of feeling before, it felt unnatural but at the same time pleasant. But He shook off he feelings, as he didn't want this feeling to overcome his body and mind. He "trotted" over to GIR and picked up by his neck. "G...I mean, Cupcake Taco!", he said tripping over his words almost revealing GIR's real name, "I thought I told you to alert me when we had Intru-I mean, guests", he grinned nervously thinking that the Crusaders were catching on to him when really, the Crusaders had no idea what was going on. He then tossed "Cupcake Taco" out of the way and stood in front of the fillies. Uncomfortably, Zim stared at them with one gleaming eye, twitching and even a bit blood-shot. The Crusaders stepped back with unease. Then Apple Bloom spoke. "Well uh, Mr. Invader, we can see yer a bit busy so me and my friends are gonna...go now", Bloom and her friends slowly started to leave and hopped on their wagon and made a fast get away from Zim's make-shift abode. Zim just leaned out of the doorway to make sure they were gone. Once he saw they were nothing but a multi-colored dot on the horizon, Zim proclaimed victory by doing a small jig then accompanied by Gir. After that moment with the Crusaders, it would be a while until Zim interacted with any other inhabitants from Ponyvillle. That is until Zim had a, what was to him both fiendish and very important, he would need to invade a some sort of information center to gather intelligence on the pony folk. What made them sick, juicy, and make the horse "Stink-meats" obey and fear him. Gir pointed towards the Ponyville's Library, The Golden Oak. With that Zim and his mentally-unstable partner made their way towards to the Golden Oak. The Golden Oak was as silent as always, Spike was monitoring the numerous shelves of books which the occasional pony would come in and borrow a book or two. As Spike was carefully putting a book back on its precariously-high shelf, Zim and Gir knocked on the door. Spike got down from the shelf and answered the door. "Hello, welcome to the Library, what can I..", Spike spoke but then cut himself off. The little Dragon gazed in horror at the monster that stood on his door-step. What Spike saw was a small horrid green monster in the most unsettling pony costume he had ever seen. Along with the creature, was a small metal THING which seem to be oozing some sort of substance from it's mouth as it made a kerfuffle of undefinable sounds. Spike screamed and fell back in horror which caused a chain reaction. not only knocking over several objects in the process, but knocking down the book shelf he had just organized. "Get away from me!", Spike screeched with a crack in his voice. Zim stood motionless. He moved towards Spike and leaned in Spike's face. Zim's unnatural Dark-Pink dish eyes gazed reflected the terrified Dragon's expression. Zim grabbed Spike by throat and shook him commandingly. "Small squishy purple child! Tell Me! Where can I find a book on a Pony's Filthy horrid body?", Zim growled as he continuously shook Spike for answers. Spike could do nothing but cry. in a cluster of weeping and what seemed to be like screams, Spike pointed to one of the shelves on Pony biology. Zim smiled with glee and trotted over to the book shelf. Spike felt like he could do nothing, with Zim making weird noises and Gir doing the exact same thing but also poking repeatedly at him could only wish for Twilight to come home. Then Spikes prayers had been answered! Twilight arrived back from doing some sort of task for the Mayor. "Hi Spike. Oh, I guess we have guests!", she said with a warming smile. Spike slowly crawled to his Pony friend and planted himself on her back, shacking. "Spike? What's wrong?", she asked her dragon companion who was a having a severe sweat. She shrugged it off since he didn't reply, and went on her way to greet Zim. "Hello Invader, haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?", Twilight extended her front left hoof to Zim for a "Hoof shake". Zim jolted his head in a unnatural way towards Twilight's direction. "Ah, Hello Twidilight Sprinkle! I'm very well and Extremely Normal", Zim said with his signature twitch. Zim nudged Gir to do as he did. Gir nodded with a gaping smile and offered his taco-grease covered "hoof". Twilight, unknowingly, shook his hoof back. Spike screeched in horror. The dragon bucked up courage, hopped off her and pulled Twilight aside to where Zim and Gir could not hear. "Twilight", Spike said with sheer panic in his voice, "Do you not notice the Freaky-Monster thing in our house! It's head is huge and green and...", Spike began to trip and stutter on his words. Twilight stood in confusion at her assistant. "Spike, what are you talking about?", the unicorn said with care, gently placing her hoof on her dragon-kin's shoulder. "Spike, I don't what's wrong but Invader and Cupcake look perfectly fine to me". She started back at Zim and Gir who smiled and waved like they do. Spike just stood in place, dumfounded, greatly stupefied, wondering what in the name of Equestria is Twilight seeing? Twilight trotted over to Zim and began talking, occasionally trading glances with each other. As he looked, Spike was slowly put the pieces together. What would take the Ponies a while to guess Spike crumpled to the ground and thought to himself... "He's a Alien...an Alien Invader!" To be Continued....
