But the humans didn't know their games were about to get more serious.

A small pack of children were playing a fun game of double cross under an unlit street light, which Roz flew up to the top of unspotted. They pulled out a small bag of powdered acid. And sprinkled it on the unsuspecting victims.

Cheat songs became bloodcurdling scratches as the powder seeped into their spinal Columns. The double ditching got faster, to the point where the net caught on fire like the eyeballs on the children due to the powder. It was like watching flailing jesters.

"Yes! Dance! Dance for me you noisy pigs! AHAHAHAHAAH!"

Once Roz got bored of the performance, they moved onto the next victims. A lady and her boyfriend beside her, sitting lovey dovey on a park bench under a tree perfect for perching and hiding wasp nests.

The woman stood up and got down on one knee to propose her love in such a boring and non exciting way. It needed more buzz. More sting. More sweetness if you will. The buzz factor came from the knocked over wasp nest, the sweetness came from the honey flung at their faces, and the sting came into their mouths and on their skin as they gasped for mercy.

Eventually the Irken invader got bored of that to. So they moved on to the next victim, and the next, and the next, and so on and so forth.

They pored the cartoonishly evil electrical leaches on a pool of unsuspecting teenagers, hooked up later pointers so that they would reflect off of their pak wings and into the eyes of politicians, zapped ray guns at hot dog carts from up high, and did the same with itchy poison darts to a bunch of construction workers.

The tortures left the humans in unimaginable pain. Screaming and running like it was the day before. Many swollen and oozing mucus from allergic reactions. Most on fire due to chemical reactions. Nobody was spared in the onslaught.

Roz was having way to much fun, and didn't feel like stopping any time soon. Just then, from atop a roof, they saw the next perfect poor soul who would become bee meat.

A certain big headed scientist just strolling along.

Roz had found a small hive five minutes back, and kept some bloodthirsty vampire bees from it in a jar. And those bad boys packed a sting  and bite more harsh then a viper's choke or a kangaroo kick to the urethra.

The perfect opportunity arose. Roz loosened the lid on the jar, when suddenly a small white hand wrapped itself around their wrist.

"What the-YAAAAAAAARG!"

Roz was yanked backwards into the clutches of a familiar neighbor. Clad in a  bug catcher's outfit, bulky backpack, and a cute pink bandana.

"Having fun ALIEN?"

Roz squirmed in Mary's grip. "Perhaps" They stated.

"Y'know, if your planning on infecting my dad with vampire bee venom, then you're out of luck. He's already been infected, and has a honey addiction."

"That explains all the jars of honey in the medicine cabinet."

"How do you know about that cabinet?"

"I-"

"Wait, not important." Mary switched to a more sinister tone, and held up a very large bug net. The net itself was three times her size, and in the opening had spikes radiating some type of gaseous substance.

"Do you know what this is? Since you wanna be a bug and all. You should know."

"Ha! Is that one of your silly little traps. Please Mary this isn't chapter 2 anymore. I thought we moved past-"

Mary didn't wait for the Irken to finish, as she saw a rat crawl alongside them and caught it with the net. Once inside the gasses filled the rat's lungs and kept it barley alive as it tried to keep hold on it's mortal coil. When it tried to get up the ends of the net electrocuted the rat.

"Oh," Roz responded, "I see the traps your making have gotten a bit more...advanced.

"I'm done playing games Roz, I'm not just trying to kidnap you or staging you to my Dad's lab."

Mary pulled out a host of small needles and knives.

"I'm gonna take you out here and now. I don't care if I get your blood on the street. Its time for the world to know what you are. And what better way to show them than in bored daylight." Mary turned to the sun.

"I'll be their hero. Their defender. Their- OW!"

Roz kicked Mary in the face and fled the scene. Mary chasing after them.

"GAT BACK HERE YOU FLYING FREAK!"

"YOU'RE ONE TK TALK YOU BLOATED GROUNDHOG!"

The chasing went on for a few houses. Kick my this time, there were no obstacles or people to push away, just the hurdles of houses to jump over.

Mary kept swinging the net but to no avail. The end of the road was coming up, and Mary knew she couldn't jump that far, so she dropped the net and clung onto Roz's wings like a parasite, dragging the alien down to the ground below. It was easily a three story drop.

The two kids fought until Rod shook off Mary, watching her plummet to the street below. 

"YOU JEEEEEeeeeerrrrkk!"

Roz smacked their hands together and gave a smirk as they turned back to dastardly deeding. But a blooming shadow cast over them, covering the sun as they tried to leave.

"Going somewhere?"

Roz spun around to face Mary. Now it six, no, eight robotic legs protruding from her bulky backpack like a spider.

"Your not the only one who upgraded."

On each side of Roz was a leg. There was nowhere to flee. Nowhere to go. But then they noticed something. The legs weren't stiff. They were flexible. Like rubber tubes and pool noodles. This gave the Irken an idea.

Rod flew inward towards the back legs and Mary lunged after Roz's wings. The legs snapped to grab Roz but ultimately they were to fast and the legs ended up chasing alien tail.

"Why won't you stay still?"

Roz kicked Mary like the little green gremlin they were and pulled down their eyelids and they evaded the tendrils.

"Nyan nany nya nya!"

"AAAAGH!"

In Mary's rage, one of the legs punched Roz into a wall, breaking their wings and blurring their vision.

Roz didn't hear the thud on the other side of the street. But they did watch for the leg that just came within an inch of grabbing their face.

Roz looked over to the other side of the block and saw that the plan had succeeded. Mary was wrapped in a web of her own entanglement.

Roz laughed as Mary struggled to un-knot herself.

"Curse you stupid alien! BLAAAAAHG!"

Roz felt awful. A fully proud of themself for besting the enemy ya. But awful. Their wings had busted and needed repairs. An easy fix that would take hours. But to pull more stunts like the ones she had today. It would be worth it.

As Mary continued to struggle. Roz felt it would be all the more sweeter if she had some friends to struggle with. So Roz quickly opened the jar of vampire bees, blew one last mocking raspberry, and fled the scene to repair their wings.
