Hi readers of Invader Zim! This is my rewrite of my previous story, Dibra. Basically this will be same name, different content. I hope you enjoy this. Also, I'm only posting the disclaimer once.
DISCLAIMER - I do NOT own Invader Zim, all of characters and/or references are not mine. I am using them without permission, but not for money making purposes. This story is for the enjoyment of the public and no money was (nor will be) made from it.
It was a normal night…if you count battling a giant robot shaped like a white poodle that's being controlled by an alien menace from another planet normal. Which for young Dib…yeah, it was normal. Well, the robotic poodle wasn't normal, it was actually new.
"Don't think that I will go easy on you, Dib-human. I will crush you!" Zim shrieks as he presses buttons from inside a giant robotic poodle.
Dib dodges one of the poodle's paws and dashes behind a nearby tree. He begins climbing up the trunk of the tree as fast as he can.
I can't believe I've sunk this low! Battling a poodle robot, really? Dib thinks to himself as he concentrates on climbing. Zim's poodle robot is a few feet away from the tree and in an instant Dib jumps from his tree and onto Zim's stupid robot.
"What the- Dib! Get off Zim's robot!" Zim shouts as he tries to fling Dib off.
"Give it up, Zim! You know I will win!" Dib shouts as he locates the entrance hatch. He throws it open and hops inside the robot, landing directly behind Zim. "Well, hello there." Dib says smirking as he presses a button labeled in Irken symbols. "And goodbye!" Dib shouts as he climbs out of the robotic poodle. Dib jumps off the poodle's head and runs as fast as he can away from it.
"Do you know what you have done?" Zim shrieks as he exits the poodle rapidly.
"Duh! I pressed the self-destruct button!" Dib shouts back as he continues to run.
Instantly the poodle robot explodes, sending metal debris everywhere. The explosion was so great, it sent Dib and Zim flying through the air. Dib fell hard on his face all the way on the other side of the field. Zim landed a few feet away from him.
Zim jumped to his feet, wincing at the pain in his leg. "Stupid human! That took me weeks to build!" he screams as he runs towards Dib, intent on bloodshed.
Dib rolls out of the way and jumps to his feet, ignoring the pain he felt in his head. "Well, you shouldn't have wasted your time, because I will always be there to stop you!" he exclaimed, getting into a fighting position.
Zim gives a battle cry and runs towards Dib, limping slightly due to his hurt leg. Dib steps to the side at the last moment, making sure to trip Zim as he did so. Zim fell to the ground and Dib pounced on him, hitting him in the face as hard as he could.
Zim grunted at Dib's punches and managed to get his feet on Dib's chest. Pushing as hard as he could, Zim managed to kick Dib off of him. As Dib rolled head over heels, Zim got up and attacked him. Dib felt Zim clawing his back and he bucked, hitting Zim in the face with the back of his head. Both cursed and held their pounding heads.
"Zim, why don't you just give up? You will never take over Earth while I'm around!" Dib exclaimed as he punched Zim in the face. Zim hissed and retaliated by scratching Dib's cheek.
"I will never give up! I will take over this planet and present your big head to my Tallest on a silver platter!" he screeches. "Zim will prove he is a worthy Invader!"
"Well as long as I'm alive, your Tallest will only think of you as a failure!" Dib said as he ducked, avoiding Zim's right hook. "And my head is not big!"
Zim screamed and went crazy, pushing Dib to the ground and truly began pounding the shit out of him. "I will kill you! Zim is not a failure!"
Dib tried to get away or at least try to protect himself, but Zim activated his spider legs to hold Dib still as he clawed and punched him. Dib began screaming and struggling violently and when he got his arms free, Zim decided to put his razor sharp teeth to the test. Zim bit his shoulders and arms as Dib tried to block his face.
"Stop it! Zim, stop!" Dib screamed. Finally as a final attempt to save himself, Dib spit in Zim's face. Zim stopped attacking him and began screeching as his face began smoking and sizzling.
"Evil human! You cheated!" Zim yelled as he desperately wiped his face, trying to stop the pain. "Why are you stupid meat bags filled with this horrible liquid?"
Dib struggled to his feet, but his legs protested. Come on! If I don't get up then I'm dead! Dib told his body mentally. Thankfully Dib pushed through the pain and stood up, sadly Zim had finally stopped running around screaming.
Zim looked at Dib with evil glowing red eyes. "You will pay for that human!" he growled as he began to slowly walk towards Dib.
Dib groaned in pain and his legs failed him, he fell to the ground. He was in so much pain, he knew he had to keep fighting but it was beginning to be too much for him. Finally he succumbed to the sharpness of pain and he passed out before Zim reached him.
Zim watched as the human fell to the ground. He walked over to his enemy and using his foot, Zim flipped Dib over onto his back. He examined his enemy closely. He was still breathing which was a shame, but his breath was coming out ragged and weak. His glasses were cracked and his hair spike was going wild from Zim pulling on it. Dib was beginning to form a black eye and he had three jagged claw marks going down the side of his face.
Zim really did a number on the human. Our battles have never ended this seriously. Zim thought to himself as he took in the bite marks and faint bruises that were all over Dib's body. Dib's clothes were ripped severely, the smiley face was barely recognizable anymore. Zim also noticed that Dib wasn't wearing his trench coat anymore. He looked around the destroyed field with his night vision implants until he saw a small black lump nearby.
Zim walked over to the lump and picked it up, half of it fell away. It was the trench coat, but it was ripped beyond recognition. Zim used the poor light of the full moon above him and the power of his night vision implants to look at the coat closely. It was definitely ripped in half, and it had been badly repaired several times. Zim could make out some sloppy needlework that he had never noticed before, Dib must have repaired it himself after all of their fights.
Zim looked back over at Dib, who hadn't moved at all. Picking up the other half of the coat, Zim stuck it inside his PAK. He then pushed a button on a communicator watch he had invented months ago.
"Gir? Come in, Gir." Zim said into the watch.
The screen was fuzzy and then it focused on Gir who was chewing on a taco. He looked up and noticed his master. "Hi!" he screeched. "Master! How did you get in the TV?"
"We've been over this, Gir. I'm calling you. I'm on the TV, not in it." Zim said, rolling his eyes at the robot's stupidity, sometimes it grated his nerves. "I need you to come and get me, I'm in the old field near the abandoned chemical plant."
Gir's eyes flashed red. "Yes, my master." He said, saluting. His eyes changed back to cyan blue. "I'll bring waffles." He said happily with his tongue sticking out.
"No, Gir! No waffles!" Zim shouted, but the robot had already left the house. "Bodoh! Sia-sia robot!" Zim cursed in Irken.
Zim turned off his watch and turned to look at Dib. He was still on the ground, still breathing ragged breaths. Poor pitiful human, you will surely die in this field tonight. Zim thought, not really sorry for him at all.
Zim heard something coming from a distance, and judging from the screams, he knew it was Gir.
"Hi, master! I came to get you!" Gir said loudly as he landed.
"Hi, Gir. Take me home." Zim commanded.
"What's the magic word?" Gir asked annoyingly.
"Please." Zim said blandly.
"How did you know?" Gir asked gasping.
"Take me back to the base!" Zim shouted.
Gir's eyes flashed red. "Yes, my master. I obey!" With that, Gir picked Zim up onto his back and flew off towards the base.
Zim looked back at Dib's sleeping form. "Anda berperang dengan baik, musuh saya." Zim whispered as Dib slowly grew smaller and smaller in the distance.
So did you like it? I'm really excited for this story! Oh, and here are the meanings to the 'Irken' words that Zim said.
Bodoh – Stupid
Sia-sia - Useless
Anda berperang dengan baik, musuh saya. - You fought well, my enemy.
