The beautiful night skies of Neopia. Constellations shine across the vast Neopian
universe. Novas glitter among the stars. Spaceships zoom across the night. But
one of these spaceships seem a little... odd...
Inside this odd spaceship, strange looking creatures dwelled. They pressed
buttons and took measurements, working hard on keeping the ship on course. On
the main deck, Gorklepaw stood with a VERY odd looking creature. It was much
much fatter than all of them, and he had had five ears, other than the normal
four. He was sipping a cup of hot tea, his monocle glinting in the eerie light
as he sat in a special chair.
"Gorklepaw..." he said, in a rather snobbish voice, setting his teacup onto
his saucer. His bushy eyebrows were relaxed as he spoke. "I tire of your antics.
King Meerkadoodadhorfadorfapaw has been very upset with you since you blundered
the invasion of the Alien
Aishas. What exactly happened to ruin your invasion of Neopia again?"
Gorklepaw stared at his paws, shifting them anxiously. "Erm, well, you see,
it was this weird Neopian Creature, species, thingy..."
The monocle lifted, glinting as the alien Lupe raised an eyebrow. "Well? What
was it? It must have been one of the greater Neopian Creatures. Perhaps that
'Faerie Queen' character?"
Gorklepaw shook his head. "No..."
The Lupe raised his other eyebrow. "Was it a powerful warlord, like that one
Prehistoric Neopian Creature, the Grarrl Battle Master?"
Gorklepaw swallowed nervously. "No..."
The Lupe's eyebrows furrowed in frustration. "Dear Swords, what DID conquer
you? I expect it was a Baby Shoyru." He guffawed imperiously, sucking in a bit
more tea through his ear, then a bit more through his mouth.
Gorklepaw sighed. "Actually sir, it was..."
The Lupe's eyebrows were twitching. "Well? Spit it out son! I haven't got
all Gigayear!"
Gorklepaw's ears drooped as he stared at the floor, finally blurting it out.
"A Chia!" His words seemed to echo throughout the ship.
The Lupe's monocle fell off his face, dangling on the string. The Tea slipped
out of his paws, smashing onto the floor. The entire crew stopped what they
were doing, all gaping at Gorklepaw and the Lupe. The Lupe's eyebrows were really
twitching now, as well as his lips. His eyes glowed an angry red as he stood
sat up rigid in his chair.
"A... a... a... A Chia?!?!" He got off of his seat, enraged. He started to
foam at the mouth as his eyes flashed different colours. "THE LOUSIEST CREATURE
IN THE UNIVERSE?!? WE EAT THOSE PATHETIC THINGS!!" He glared at Gorklepaw, sneering
at the distressed alien. "On behalf of the Great Meerkadoodadhorfadorfapaw's
Court, I hereby strip you of your Captain's position!!"
Gorklepaw was shot from the ship. He floated into space, a very annoyed look
on his face. "Oh Piffle..."
Gorkelpaw's old ship zoomed into hyperspeed, flashing as it jettisoned through
space. It broke a dimension and finally landed on a strange, purple planet...
The Imperial Court of King Meerkadoodadhorfadorfapaw the Third sat on the strange
planet. Alien Lupe soldiers marched across the corridors of the massive castle,
wearing bright green uniforms. The Lupe in the monocle waddled across the courtyard,
holding his review records of all the captains in the Imperial Fleet. His eyebrows
shuddered with worry and his eyes were glowing yellow as he threw open the doors,
waddling up and down the massive hallways and finally making a left turn. He
stepped on a circular pad. "Up," he commanded. The pad glowed for a split second
as the Lupe was lost in a flash of light. He reappeared before a large pair
of doors. Taking a deep breath, he pushed them open and stepped into the Great
Ultimate All Powerful Imperial Overruling Great Throne Room. He stopped, bowing
before a massive throne, which was shaded from light. The Lupe's eyes glowed
a tentative blue as two sharp, cruel, glowing red eyes glared at him from the
dark. "Your Highness, we have a situation..."

Al was tending to his garden. Since he didn't want to spend money on high security,
he raised very vicious plants. They were called Bad Seeds, and they each roughly
had the power of a ten foot Skeith. Al smiled, patting them on the head as if
they were babies. "Would my little planties like a treat?" They seemed to jump
on their roots, their tongues hanging out of their mouths. "All right! Here
you go!!" Al threw a rancid peace of meat into the Bad Seed patch. The group
ripped it to bits, munching on it happily. "Aw, good plants!!" Al scratched
one behind the leaf, cooing. "All right, I have to go! Bye bye my little babies!!"
He left the garden, smiling, and entered his home. The Bad Seeds waved, squeaking
lovingly as he disappeared behind the door.
"And that's the whole story, according to Gorklepaw's crew and the records."
The Lupe finished, bowing before his superior. His eyebrows cringed as he waited
for a response. "I see..." a prim accented, but powerful voice said from the
shadowed throne. "That stupid fool couldn't conquer a flower field. Well, looks
like I'll have to deal with Neopia myself. We need to enslave all those nifty
Neopets so we can test out all those new inventions!" He got up, stepping into
the light. High King Meerkadoodadhorfadorfapaw the Third was at least 7 feet
tall. He was a bright glowing yellow, and wore a magnificent cape with many
decorations and medals on it. He also wore a huge crown on his head, which was
covered in precious stones, and many ears poked out from it. A grim smile spread
across his green teeth as his eyes grew an Alien red. "Servants, prepare my
ship. Glycopaw, come with me. I'm going to show you how to conquer a planet
in several easy steps."
Al heard a loud noise, followed by screaming, and heard many strange zapping
sounds overhead. "Eh? What's that?" He put down the Lupe hair sample he had
been working with and climbed up the stairs, throwing open the door. Fluffy
was hiding in his PetPet bed, shivering. "What?" He ran to the window. "What's
that racke..." KABOOM!!! Flying saucers were zooming around Furgleton, blasting
the homes and buildings. Chias were running and screaming, covering their faces,
their happy community being destroyed. "OH PIFFLE!! IT MUST BE THE ALIENS OUT
FOR REVENGE!" Al cried as the Capitol building exploded. The Mayor stumbled
out from the rubble, screaming like a Kacheek. "IT'S JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES!!"
Al blinked twice, his glasses slipping off his face. Suddenly, he got a determined
look. "Looks like it's up to me!" He ran to his garage, jingling his keys. "Luckily,
I've been prepared for such situations!"
"Step one: Terrorize a major city." The King yawned. He lounged in the Mother
Ship, stirring a cup of tea with his second in command, Glycopaw. "After we've
destroyed this one, we can threaten the other major cities unless Neopia recedes
to our power. It's that simple."
Glycopaw sipped his tea, his eyes glowing a mean looking pink. "Yes, I say,
that's a very good plan your Highness."
Al's garage door opened. Inside was a rather large machine. "Behold!" He cried
to no one in particular. "The Lupe Magnet 2000!! Used by the Lupe Hunter to
get the toughest Lupes, and at only 2000 NP, a real steal!" A piece of rock
from the Capitol building landed on his head, bouncing onto the ground. He blinked,
a blank look on his face. "What was I doing? Oh, right, save Furgleton!!" He
hopped into the door of a weird looking contraption, looking at the control
panel. "Here goes nothing..." He pressed a button. The machine began to click
and whir. Al flipped a switch. Suddenly, the machine began to glow. It made
a rather annoying screech, then started to hum. "Yes!" Al cried.
Deegribblepaw the Lupe suddenly felt something funny. "Hey, is something pulling
at me?"
"It must be the gravity in this weird planet." His companion shrugged. "Eh."
He set his aimer on a Chia baby hiding behind a tree. Suddenly, he fell onto
the floor.
"WOAH!! What's going on?" The ship crashed onto the ground, right as the Lupe
were sucked through the floor of the ship. "AIEEEEEEE!!" They screamed. WHAM!!
They smashed against the Lupe magnet, stunned and immobilized. Deegribblepaw's
face was smashed against the side of the magnet. "Oh Fiddlesticks," he muttered
in a muffled voice...
All the other ships in the fleet were crashed as the Alien Lupes were sucked
onto the magnet. Al giggled like a Poogle who drank too much Neocola as he brought
in the Lupes. "All right!! Alien Lupes!! This should put my studies forward
by ten times full!!"
Fluffy crawled from under his covers, looking around. It seemed to be quiet.
He hissed quietly as he slithered through his PetPet door outside. There were
about eighty Lupes stuck onto a large hunk of metal that his owner was pressing
buttons on. A few more splattered headfirst onto it. "Hi Fluffy! This is great
fun, isn't it?" Fluffy blinked twice, then collapsed in shock.
The King sat in his lounge, beautiful alien Aishas fanning him as he popped
grapes into his mouth. "Ah... Conquering is so much fun..." Suddenly, there
was a red light and a siren. "First fleet destroyed. First fleet destroyed.
Apparently by a Chia. Repeat, Apparently by a Chia."
The Lupe Fighters were bundled up on his front lawn, kept a close eye on by
his Bad Seeds. "Well, what have we here?" Al marched around them, holding a
pair of tweezers. "I think you'll make some nice test subjects." The Lupes gulped
as the tweezers clacked menacingly. A wide grind spread across Al's face. "Now
who want to donate a few strands of hair?"
"WHAT? Impossible! It can't be! Prepare my ship! I'm going out there myself!!"
The King swept on his flowing cloak and sped out the door, his eyes glowing
a fierce red.
The Lupes were all bare skinned. Al packed the hair into several crates. "There.
Enough to fuel research for a good year. Now, I'm going to release you into
Lupe forest. Should you ever poke your hairless faces into Furgleton again,
I won't just take hair samples!" They whimpered and sped off into the forest.
"There. That should keep them off my back." Suddenly, there was a paranormal
flash. Al suddenly felt something breathing on his neck. He looked down and
noticed quite a large shadow hanging over him. "Hm... that's odd..." Al turned
around, setting eyes on the Lupe king. "Hm. That's even odder..." The king lifted
a massive paw, batting the Chia into the bushes. His glasses tumbled off, and
he blinked blindly. "Now that's just not nice..."
Fluffy suddenly awoke to find a rather large Lupe with a strange crown and
eight ears throttling Al. He took immediate action. Jumping up, he wrapped himself
around the Lupe's head, blocking out his vision. "Hey! Get off!!" The Lupe king
whacked at his own face as Fluffy squeezed tighter and tighter. "Stop it!! Stop
it I say!! Glycopaw, HELP ME!!" Glycopaw, looking around, grabbed an ugly lawn
gnome and started whacking at the king's face. "OW!!! STOP IT!!" Fluffy hissed
merrily as they stumbled around the lawn. Al blinked blindly. "Where's my Bubble
Gun?" He ran into a few trees before stumbling into his house. His squinted
eyes could barely see. "Hey! Here it is!" Al grabbed it and ran out of the house,
brandishing it. "All right, prepare to be zapped!" The king paused, ripping
Fluffy off his face. He looked at Al with a puzzled look on his hideous face.
"Excuse me?" Al was holding a can of Neocola. "Do as I say!" "Are you blind
Chia? You have a canned beverage in your paws!!" The Lupe giggled merrily, but
stopped when seeing Al shake the can. "Eh? What ARE you doing?" Al grinned.
Fluffy caught on, jumping behind some bushes. "Will that be coffee, tea, or
COLA!" Al threw the can and ducked. BOOM!!!
Al blinked, pulling himself out from underneath the rubble. He was covered
in dust, rubble, and Neocola. He looked around. There were massive amounts of
foam everywhere, and once again, his house was destroyed. "Wow... They should
use that in the Battledome." He reached into his pocket, where a ready supply
of glasses awaited, placing a new pair onto his face as he blinked some fizz
out of his eyes.
"Fluffy?" Fluffy jumped from the wreckage, hissing. "Are you okay?" He nodded.
Al smiled, adjusting his lab coat. "Good. Say, what about the Lupe king?" Fluffy
was about to hiss when he saw it. The Lupe king rose out of the wreckage, and
he didn't look happy. His huge shadow loomed over Al, who didn't seem to notice.
Al blinked impatiently. "Well? Did you see what happened to that big, ugly monster?"
Fluffy blinked twice, shrugged, then dove under the wreckage again. "Fluffy?..."
Suddenly, Al heard a raspy growl come from behind him. He looked down, seeing
the shadow. "Hey, this seems familiar..." He turned around, his eyes wide. "Oh
Piffle..."
