Hey! If you're a reveiwer of my last fic, welcome. If you're a new person, welcome also! All I have to say is, I already am MUCH more satistfied with this than I was with WAFD. I hated the first four chapters or so of that. ._. Anyways, read on!

Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own any character in this story. (Save for Fex, I own everything about her except for her species. Irkens belong to JV.)

"Incoming transmission from planet Earth," one of the Tallests' workers warned in a bored tone. Everyone in the room sighed. By now, everyone knew what that meant. More of Zim's nonsense.

"Hello sirs, Invader Zim reporting," Zim said in his ever-so-cocky tone of voice. "Let's be quick about this, Zim, we've got better things to do," Red groaned. "Oh, I can ensure you, this will be better than anything else you have to do!" Zim reassured them. "We'll see about that," Red muttered bitterly.

"In the pitiful humans' Science class, I have recently learned of a substance called 'radium.' It is apparently very powerful. So powerful, indeed, that the humans are afraid to use it themselves. It can do great harm to anyone who inhales it, touches it, or comes into any physical contact with it." At this point, Red and Purples' antennae pricked up. "How much harm?" Purple asked. "Well, a little of it is fine, it even has healing properties in small proportions! But if you interact with too much of it, you're dead," Zim explained.

"How interesting..." Red commented thoughtfully. "Very interesting... listen, Zim, tell us more about this substance, and things could pick up for you." Zim smiled. His Tallests were making sense, for once!

5 YEARS LATER

Dib, Gaz, Zita, Melvin, Brian and Jessica sat in their cell, trying to make the best out of their time off of working. They were horribly failing, however, as there was absolutely nothing to do. When it wasn't their shift of serving the Tallests and their crew, they just sat and stared in to space. Some dreamed of a better tomorrow. Other individuals, like Dib, thought of ways to escape.

"I can't believe they took away my cell phone! Now I can't text anyone, or update my Facebook, or Tweet, or do anything!" Jessica ranted for about the millionth time. "Shut the fuck up before I pull your entrails out and make you watch as Melvin, here, eats them!" Gaz used one of her many violent comebacks that came in handy daily when she was stuck with so many unlikable people. Melvin slowly inched away from Gaz, because he knew she would go through with her threat. He didn't like Jessica either, but the thought of eating her intestines nauseated him.

"Gaz, let's not be getting too...violent," Dib sighed. "Why?" she challenged him. You could swear that her death glare could catch you on fire. "No reason," he answered sheepishly.

"Guys, quiet down. Someone's coming," Zita warned. Indeed, a soft glow was coming from the corridor outside of their cell. Everyone thought that it was going to be a solider, so they were shocked by who came to visit them. It was an irken, alright, but she couldn't even dream of hurting them. Her name was Fex, and she sometimes brought them entertainment and food when she could sneak away to their holding pen. She was fairly short, with lime green skin, large blue eyes (with a long jagged scar over her left one), and triangular-curled antennae. She wore a simple red t-shirt with two black rabbit silhouettes on it, a black jacket, black pants and steel-toed boots. Being a defect, the Tallest had almost no use for her other than to serve them. Since the irkens had come to Earth, though, the humans were slaves so she was deemed useless and set free.

"Guys, I know I haven't been here in forever. Don't be pissed, I've been busy. The only gift I could get you guys was a history textbook," Fex explained as quickly and quietly as she could. "What the hell? School was stupid; take that book away," Jessica whined. This earned her a smack upside the head from Gaz. "It's what I'd expect from a dumb blonde," Fex muttered, slipping the book between the bars. Dib grabbed it, and everyone crowded around in a circle to read it. "I'll be back in a few hours to take it back," Fex added before pulling her hood up over her face and skittering down the hallway.

Dib opened it to chapter 1 and began reading it aloud, everyone else eagerly following along.

"Chapter 12- The Underground Railroad," Dib announced. The underground railroad...didn't that have something to do with freeing slaves! Dib read the first page to himself franticly, as he could read faster when he wasn't speaking. It did! They all were freed, slowly but surely. Dib remembered now, sitting through lectures in school had seemed useless then. Now it was serving him well. "Guys!" he whispered excitedly. "We could escape!"

"What are you talking about?" Brain queried. "The underground railroad," Dib explained. "We could recreate it!"

"Slow down and think about it, Dib," Gaz interjected. "In the days of African American slavery, they just had to move north. All of Earth is enslaved, we have no where to go. Plus, not everyone escaped through the freedom train. It was the Civil War that came to their rescue." Zita, Brian, Melvin and Jessica all nodded. "You do have somewhere to go," Fex's voice startled them all. "I came by to take the book. I heard your shift is starting soon."

"Where could we go?" Zita asked. "Space," Fex answered simply. The six slaves looked at her like she was crazy. "We could use my ship to find a new planet for the humans. I also have a few friends that I know would be willing to help out. You can stay there in secrecy. You'll finally be free," Fex stated. Everyone's eyes widened. "Really?" Melvin whispered. "Really," Fex answered.

Everyone smiled. This was great! "Hand me the book, I've got to go before anyone notices that something's up," Fex said urgently. Brain handed her the textbook, which she tucked in to her jacket and sprinted away with. They all then started speaking of what life would be like when they were free again, unaware that two glowing red eyes were watching them from around the corner...

Mimi listened as the slaves spoke of their soon-to-be freedom. They would leave over her dead body! She was made to obey the irken empire. They weren't loosing any servants if she could help it. Where was Tak? She would know how to stop them. Oh, that's right! Tak was at the bar with Tenn and Skoodge!

Mimi sped out of the dungeon, bursting out in to the open air. The red sky indicated that the sun was setting. She had to get there quick, before any of them got drunk or just left.

Running down the street, Mimi shoved random pedestrians to the side, having no concern for their safety. "Outta my way!" she yelled, dashing as fast as her little robotic legs could carry her. She earned a lot of "What where you're going!"'s and "Idiotic little bitch!"'s and "You killed my smeet!"'s. Finally, Mimi halted in front of a small building with some irken text on it. If you were to translate it in to English, it read "Sizz-Lorr's Bar and Grill."

"What the heck? I thought Sizz-Lorr was trapped on Foodcourtia for fifty years," you think. Well, you see, he was. But, once the fifty years was up, he resigned from his management position of Slooghorgs and made a break for Irk. The magic of time warps again worked in his favor, and he was hired as one of the Tallests' personal chefs. Sizz-Lorr was chosen as one of the chefs that came to Earth, and he opened a bar.

Anyway, back to the story. Mimi bulleted through the doors, across the room and to where she located her master with her friends. They were currently in a discussion of...oddness.

"Tak, the birds would crap everywhere," Tenn said.

"So would the cows!" Tak objected. "Plus, birds don't shit large piles of stink-ridden manure."

"Yeah, but birds are so annoying! Cows are quieter."

"What would happen if the cow got scared, huh? It would stampede and probably break half the bones in your body!"

"Girls, there's probably not going to be a situation where you would have two free-roaming birds or a free-roaming cow in your apartments, so can we stop this?" Skoodge reasoned.

"Master!" Mimi yelled to let herself be heard above the loud music and chatter. "Mimi? What the hell are you doing here?" Tak asked. "The slaves in cell 302 are plotting an escape!" Mimi exclaimed. "It's only six worthless humans, who gives a fuck if they escape?" Tak laughed, taking a sip of the glass of vodka that she was drinking. "It's the cell with Dib and Gaz Membrane in it," Mimi reminded her. Tak, Tenn, and Skoodge all immediately paled. In fact, everyone in the bar fell silent. It was a well known fact that Dib and Gaz were the smartest humans to roam the Earth. They were even smarter that a lot of the irkens.

"How exactly are they planning to escape?" Tenn stuttered. Mimi began to rapidly fill them in on everything she had heard. "Fex," Tak growled, tightening her grip on her glass so that it almost shattered. "I never trusted that worm." Tenn and Skoodge nodded. "What are we gonna do about it?" Skoodge asked. Tak forced herself to laugh. Was he really that stupid? Of course, he spent a lot of his days worshipping Zim. Tak only tolerated being around him because Tenn was in love with him, and Tenn was her best friend.

"We're going to go after them, of course."

And so the action, murder and hasty running starts! Hehe, I made Dib and Gaz FA-MOUS. If you're wondering where Professor Membrane is, don't ask. It may scar you for life, as I don't like the Professor. At all.

Anyways, if you'd like your OC to be one of Fex's "little friends," put some info about them in your post (Looks, personality, backstory, etc...). Just, for the love of God, NO MARY SUES. Any Mary Sues or Gary Stus will be ignored. Okay? Okay, review please!
