Author's Note: Thanks for reading this! Well, I don't know if anyone has thought of this kind of story before, so if there's already a Zim and Tak fic like this one, don't flame me because I haven't seen it if there is. ANYWAY, hope you enjoy it. Oh, and go over and look at my fanart! There's a link on my profile page--it is overflowing with Zim and Tak yayness! XD


Screaming, panic, explosions, flames, annihilation, noise, chaos, danger, destruction, evil. If you were there that day that earth was taken over, that's how you would have described it. All was calm on the planet, and then all of a sudden, here came something, obscured to all, that brought utter Armeggedon within minutes of its landing.

That's how it all went down. After its arrival and destruction, nothing really calmed down; despair was just left for everyone. All people all over the earth were driven insane, dodging from all directions dissolving buildings and intensely hot fire falling from nowhere. This was the last leg of the mission -- one by one for all to bite the dust. And it was working.

All of earth was affected by this, undoubtedly. How could a single soul not be tormented by the unbearable screaming of the entire world? Well, actually, if you were deep in an underground lab, then you wouldn't be able to hear anything outside, so there was one person who had no idea about all this: Zim.

Zim was dilly-dallying around in his lab when suddenly Gir broke through the metal of the elevator doors. Screaming obnoxiously, he ran as fast as he could through the corridor and straight into Zim's back.

"GIR! What's wrong with you! I'm busy playing Internet Blackjack -- I mean, recording data," Zim blabbed out in anger. Gir ignored him completely.

"Master! Everything's all explodey outside!" Gir exclaimed, panicked. He looked up at Zim in worry, then took out an Airhead and shoved it into his mouth (with the wrapper still on).

"Explodey?" Zim raised his eyebrow.

"Uh-huh, everything's on fire and it's raining stuff that's not rain."

Zim ran into the elevator quickly, leaving Gir to eat his still-wrapped Airhead. This had better be for real, Zim thought as it went up. Then he noticed the open hole in the door in the shape of Gir. Zim sighed.

When the elevator stopped at the trashcan in Zim's kitchen, he already could see that Gir was right: Through the window in the living room, Zim could see the chaos -- thick, sinister smoke engulfing his whole base and people racing around crazily.

Zim couldn't believe it. Earth was being destroyed, and he had nothing to do with it? This was crazy, that was his job!

"GIR! Get up here, we're going to find out what's going on!" Zim screamed. Gir appeared within two seconds and the two ran out of the house.
