Chapter 17 {UNDER REFERB}

"What are you?" They asked pacing back and forth examining you. "I-I'm a human, and I followed my alien friend here. W-well he's not really my friend but he's a very present figure in my life right now. I just-," The creature looked very puzzled by your rambling but not much. "You shouldn't have come here human female, it's much too dangerous! My comrades are all nearly dead and it's all because of the horrible people who live here!" Your expression changed from one of confusion to utter horror. "Dead, How?!" The alien looked at you with sorrow in his eyes. "My people were promised a bargain. And as soon as we got here no one was there. Quickly we tried to make our way to the meeting room but once we got there we were ambushed. They took the goods and annihilated my people. I'm the only left and I need to find an escape pod!" As he explained his eyes jittered assumingely from all the paranoia.

"Wait...They did the same thing to Zim! We have to stop him! He's going to get killed!" The alien looked at you with horror. "Human Girl we have to take his ship and make a run for it, otherwise we'll be murdered horribly!" You felt conflict in your gut. The same one from before when you decided to go or not. Man she was right when your mother claimed that history repeated itself awhile back. "Please, we have to get him! I can help you escape though." You pleaded putting your hands together. The alien's expression shifted to one of fear to hopelessness in a matter of seconds. "Fine. We'll go to the control center and shut off the power before they can do anything, but please tell me you at least have something to defend us." Your eyes brightened and you began going through your bag. "Y-yeah, yeah I got something hold on." You pulled out the gun and gave it to him.

  "HA! Yes this is exactly what I mean. We helped design this gun you know.", "Really?"
"Wait, you are unfamiliar with our race?" You looked puzzled. "To be quite honest I haven't really seen anyone of your respective race before." He didn't look at all insulted but rather curious about you. "What is your name human child? I don't think you mentioned it." He looked up at you and it took you moment to snap out of you shock of absorbing literally anything that's going on right now. "O-oh, I'm Y/N." You said holding your hand out for a handshake. He took it as a sign of respect and shook your hand back. "I'm Tix. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He said smiling.

You were actually quite happy to find an alien who was pleased with your company, as the only other one you've met was a bit cold and harsh. "We haven't got much time, Come along now if you want to rescue your irken partner." Without hesitation, you went off to follow him to the control room to go rescue Zim. As the two of you continued on, you both made very friendly conversation. You explained a lot of earth's cultures and he explained a lot of Vort's. "Wait." He said putting an arm in front of you stopping you in your trail. "What is it?" You whispered hiding where he directed you to. "Guards. The control center is close but I don't know how we're going to get past them at this rate." You shuffled through your bags a bit. "Could we distract them?" You suggested as Tix's eyes lightened up at the idea you came up with. "Yes! But how so?"

  You thought for a moment how you could possibly do something to distract them and you had an idea. As you stuck your hand through your bag you came across a large round object. "Sweet, a ball!" You said smiling showing Tix as he grabbed it gently examining it. "How do you plan to use this?" He asked wearily turning it around. "H-here I'll show you." You said grabbing it back and before you did anything, you put into account the possible landings and whatnot. You shifted your attention to the spot where you wanted it to land and focused intently until you finally took the throw.

The ball made a thunking noise which got the guards attention very quickly and they went into the other hallway almost immediately to see what it was. You and Tix silently ran to the door that they guarded and with the keycard Tix had, almost immediately you were let in silently without the guards noticing. "Here we are. The control room." You approached the many computer monitors and alien devices finding a possible way to help Zim. Before you could press a button Tix took your hand to avoid any hazards.
