Invader Roz: An IZ Sequal

Bug Off

It's a lovely day outside. The sky is a somewhat blue with puffy vomit green clouds, the birds are choking and exploding, and the bugs are EVERYWHERE!

Cockroaches by the thousands have crawled from their nasty little sewage dens. Praying mantises have gone to war with beetles and flies, and have begun eating hornet skulls to show dominance and power. Moths have crowded in the forests to conduct mothman spawning rituals. And vampire bees have begun to turn their victims one by one into honey loving freaks.

Dum gazed out the window lovingly at the complete insectocolapse before them with their one working eye.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's so pretty~ MASTER!"

"Ya?" Invader Roz, the greatest and most terrifying invader the universe has ever known besides the Almighty tallest Zim, popped their head from the kitchen room.

"Are we gonna go for a walk today?" Dum sat upside down on the floor under the window, and kicked their little legs on the wall.

"No. I don't have plans for a walk today. As you can see I'm very busy."

Roz stepped away from the kitchen room reveling they were wearing a puffy burgundy apron that said kiss the cook in big bubble letters, stained with batter from Spork knows what baking monstrosity.

"I'm making the earth cuisine called pancakes." The little Irken waved around their spatula. "Since those cookies didn't work, I'm trying something new. This time it'll be poison irk flowers in the mix.

"LET ME TASTE EM!"

Dum ran up to Roz and tried to grab the baking tool from their mitt covered claw. Roz lightly swatted at Dum.

"No it's not for you! It's for those students and that Bitter lady teacher. She gave me a -B on my science test."

Roz sighed. "Its missing something though. I followed that recipe through and through and it still doesn't taste right. I even put in some that sleepy night time dopey medicine Mary's parent keeps in that annoyingly high cabinet."

"Oooooooo. You stole from the neighbors?"

"Hey that squeaky brat steals from me all the time. Just last week she stole my wig and I had to make a new one with pigtails!"

Roz scratched her head while Dum sneakily licked the spatula.

"But still there's something missing...."

"HONEY!"

"Ho-what?"

"Honey from the buggies makes the food taste good."

"Dum what are you blapping about?"

"The buggies out there."

Dum pointed to the window, showing the allergenic buzzing Hellscape the world had become. But more importantly, that were pointing at the bugs. One of which landed on the window sill.

Roz walked over and looked at it. A green dragonfly, though the alien didn't know it. They watched as the bug's wings danced and fluttered. It's magnificent scales reflecting the fire in the streets. And then just like that, the bug hovered and flew away.

Roz was left stunned. Amazed. Fascinated most of all. They dropped everything and turned to scream at the base.

"COMPUTER!"

"Ugh Jesus ...what?"

"Tell me everything about the earth buggies! Right now!"

👽👽👽

Not even five hours later Roz was five pages deep into gooble search on bug migration and life spans. Their eyes grew as big and bright as the sky as they scrolled and scrolled and scrolled all the way until the computer complained that an overheating was needed and shut off.
