"Mary!"

Running twoards the loudness resulted Dib's wish for blindness.

Lying on the ground motionless was a cold, dead, non-alien, unmooving little girl. A consistantly bloody neon liquid ozzed from her eyes, nose and mouth. It was the material used in her bio-luminescent pupils.

Dib walked closer and kneeled down to inspect the body as he did with the glass shards. He turned Mary's real face around to find it full of tears and broken to bits. Bruises, scratches, scars. The whole ordeal. But the part that scared Dib the most was her unresponsivness.

"Mary! Mary get up! Mary! Wake up Mary!"

No answer. Not one. Not two. Not three. No movement. It was clear want she was. And what she was, was dead.

Out of the darkness and blurting through Dib's anxious tears came the humming. The humming that shattered human hearing and crept it's way forward. The humming that had a gigantic moth like figure attached to it.

It loomed near, it's ocean trench eyes piercing the void around it. Gargantuan wings protruded themselves from the figures back, giving way for four more glaring eyes.
It's large array of underbite jaws pointed twoards it's tiny eyes that failed in comparison to it's long arms and massive hands, in which it's small green body was carried by.

Dib quivered in fear. He looked up to the looming, monstrous, nightmare version of his next door alien neighbor.

He stopped the corpse of his daughter and reached for something. Anything to use against the cackling fiend above him. Yet there was nothing to defend himself with.

The nightmare Roz laughed and slapped Dib into an invisible wall ten feet away with her giant claws.

Dib crawled his way to recovery and reached for the dropped Mary who was so far away and so close to the alien deamon ahead.

Nightmare Roz took one look at Dib. And cackled.

"This is just sad." Her teeth drooled with alien spit like a bulldog. The alien picked up the corpse and smashed it on the ground. The result was a loud scattering of metal plates and crushed child.

"NO!"

Dib started darting towards Mary's smashed remains, but was slammed back into the invisible wall by Roz's blood drenched hands.

The nightmare Roz flew to the end of her arm where Dib was with her loud humming wings. She looked at the distressed man with an unmoving expression.

"She was all alone. You didn't help that much."

"Let me go!" Dib struggled to break free.

"You could have done something and you didn't. You just sat there with your fancy shmancy science tech and did NOTHING!"

Her scream pierced his ears more than they already were. He couldn't move or talk. He just clutched his ears in agonizing pain.

"Its really your fault this happened. You know what I was doing. You knew she was getting hurt every day because I beat her up and shot her with lasers." The monster got closser to Dib and looked him dead in the eyes with her soulless ones. "You know what we are."

"Nrg! LET GO!"

"AAAH!"

The nightmare aliens screeching rattled the cold and messy floor. Dib hat punched her square in the toothy jaw. She fell onto the floor in crying pain and covered her face.

Dib limpped over to the Irken child only for her to turn around and look completely human.

"Huh?" Dib took a step back.
