The third ZaTr story ever written that has anything to do with War, this is my third and most likely final
Attempt at ZaTr. How do you like that? I'm not promising anymore! Anyway, this is just something I'm
Writing WITHOUT Yaz, so it's going to be harsher on the mind, and probably more confusing in the
Raw. Invader Idol will continue once I rebuild a template, and get in more consistent contact with
InvaderZIM'sgirl123.
A War to Remember
Zim
I sat down on the couch treating my injuries, it has been 3 years since I came to Earth and this has been the worst battle with Dib so far. I was covered head to foot in scars and scratches, all increasingly worse as you moved down.
"Zim, there is an urgent message from the Empire..." Computer called my attention as I bandaged up a large gash in my arm. I jumped up startled, Urgent? The Empire has never called anyone for urgency before!
I marched over to the screen to receive the message. "Perhaps they're finally giving me my tanks of DOOM!" I shouted hopefully and opened the message on screen. It was Tallest Red. "Attention all Invaders and Invader-Trainees..." He announced without any interest or concern. I blinked sitting in my chair. "This is a conscript, effective immediately, you are to report to Irk for briefing..." He continued staring at me.
"Care to make my day, Zim?" He asked bored. "Who are we in a war against?" I asked confused, Irk never used conscripts. "Meekrob," He replied in a slightly upset manner. "Do we get tanks of DOOM?!" I asked excited. "Everyone but you, Zim." He replied bored.
I thought for a second, but before I could reply, Tallest Red closed the transmission. "GIR!" I called into the upper portions of the base. GIR walked in carrying a suck-munky.
"Pack only the essentials! We're going to war!" I ordered. GIR stared blankly at me before I sighed.
"Come GIR...."
-
On Irk.
Tak

I glared at myself inside the small shop. "Mimi, are you sure this is a reliable ship yard?" I demanded. Mimi stared blankly for a second, twitching slightly. "Yes!" She suddenly burst out after
2 minutes of waiting.
I pointed out a new engine for my ship when I felt a shadow loom over me. "Tak?" A voice asked, I gasped and turned around. It was none other than an old friend I knew: Veronica. She was the Tallest's guard.
"Veronica?" I asked, I haven't seen her since Devastis. "What're you doing here?" She asked confused. I stared. "Buying parts for my ship, why?" I asked. Veronica blinked. "All invaders are on a
Conscript!" Veronica informed me.
"Oh really?" I lied, I was always jealous of Veronica, she had it all. I don't want her to realize I'm not an invader. "Yes! I'm here gathering parts for our ships!" Veronica said astonished. I blinked.
"Did you say all invaders?" I asked. Veronica nodded before counting her monies to pay for the engine I was looking at. "Yes, why? Oh-wait..." Veronica hit herself in the head.
"Are you still trying to kill that boyfriend of yours?" She asked accusingly. I rolled my eyes and threw a coin at her. "He's still an ass." I hissed at her. Veronica's orange eyes rolled back at me. "Fine, but here, briefings are at the square at Mid-day tomorrow." She said handing me a map.
-
I sighed, glad that she never realized I had failed my test 50 years ago. "Mimi!" I cried excitedly. Mimi ran over to me. "What is it Mistress?" She asked excitedly. "We're going to war!" I said much too happily for the subject. Mimi gave me a questioning look. "And we're happy why?" Mimi asked. "Zim'll be there too. And I'll have an excuse to kill him." I laughed.
"Why kill him? He's annoying, stupid, deranged...maybe, but..." Mimi trailed off getting distracted by another Irken. "He ruined my life. Twice." I hissed. Mimi nodded.
"Okay, so here's our plan."
-
On Devastis
Lea
-
I glared peering over Zanna's dorm, water-gun in hand. "Okay miss prom-queen, just come out now." I taunted. Sheret sat next to me, her golden eyes staring clueless.
"Lea?" She asked. I put my water gun down, groaning. "What, Sherry?" I asked annoyed. Sheret smiled. "Can I get my games?" She asked stupidly. "No. I can't be distracted now." I hissed looking at Sherry.
Picking up my water gun, I saw Ron leave the dorm. "Gotcha you dork." I laughed. Sheret gasped and pointed in front of me. "LEA!" She cried so loud several lights in the distance turned on.
"What?" I demanded turning. She grabbed my head and turned it to a sign, several Irkens turned to stare at its message.
-
"Attention all Irken Trainees, this is a conscription order. I know most of you are not prepared for combat, but this is urgent: Report to central square tomorrow at mid-day for briefings." Tallest Red announced. I dropped my gun and gawked.
"War?" I asked Sheret. She nodded. "Most of us won't return!" Sheret cried. I nodded. I can't imagine it without Sheret or Ron, Zee, maybe even Zanna.
"Well, by the time we make it to Irk, it'll be Mid-day. Get my Verrarin Cruiser and get the others." I ordered Sheret. "Why not take a shuttle?" She asked. I stared, not wanting to tell her my feelings towards everyone. "Because, I want to kill them, not some stranger." I lied.
Sheret stood up and ran off. Joining her I ran down the hill to talk to my dear enemies.
-
Ron and Zanna glared at me as we waited in front of the dorm. "So, we're on a conscript?" Ron asked confused. "Yes, I'm certainly glad I won't be seeing you guys again." I lied; Zanna rolled her purple eyes at me. Before I start reminding myself useless details, they All had Purple eyes, except for Zee. She had teal.
The ship landed silently in front of me, everyone got on slowly. I stood at the door, saying goodbye to my home I've had for 23 years.

On Irk
Zim

The next day passed quickly, I was glad I found that wormhole. The square was crowded; an older Irken put us into lines.
"Hey, old man." A smeet behind me started. I turned around annoyed. I jumped back; she was taller than most adults!
"Do you have any idea when the briefing is going to start?" She asked. She had strange light blue eyes. "No..." I said slowly, confused as to why this smeet started a conversation with me. "I'm Lea." She introduced.
I nodded fakely smiling. "I'm the almighty ZIM!" I shouted. She stared not amused. "I like you," She stated, nodding. "Of course you should! Everyone loves Zim!" I announced smiling. Lea poked a golden eyed Irken behind her.
"Hey, Sheret, this guy's old. He's confident, and he probably has experience." She told her friend behind her. "Okay--Wait!" Sheret gasped, and pointed a finger at me. "You're Zim!" She shouted.
"Yes, the almighty Zim." I laughed motioning my hand. "This guy's criminally insane!" Sheret
Shouted to Lea. "Oh yeah, that's why I like him." Lea told Sheret. Ignoring the smeets I turned around.
"Hey, Zim? Mind if we follow you around for a while? Make an alliance?" Lea asked. I groaned. "Listen, smeet, Zim needs NO ONE!" I yelled at her annoyed.
Lea laughed at me. "Yeah, right. And you didn't destroy this place once. I could get you locked up." Lea laughed elbowing Sheret. "Now alliance. Form. Now." She hissed grabbing me. "Okay!" I said quickly and squeaky.
"Good Sheret, we have an ally here. The best destroyer on Irk." Lea told her friend. Sheret turned around snuggling GIR. "You're SO cute! And full of tacos!" Sheret yelled hugging GIR. GIR squealed in joy. "Can I have one?" Sheret asked. GIR gave her a taco and she screamed in response.

Tak

I sat down on a table for the briefings; I had gotten here early, so I was guaranteed one. A girl in front of me sat down with a boy, pushing two Irkens out of the chair next to me. "I wonder where Lea is." The boy asked to the girl. "She could've met Zim for all we know." The girl said. I shot up excited.
"Who's Lea?" I asked. The girl stared at me condescendingly. "My worst enemy. You know Zim?" She asked. I glared. "He ruined my life." I hissed. A smile crept up on the girl's face.
-
"I'm Zanna Suzanna." She introduced cockily. "Let me guess, you're a whore." I stated noticing the girl's unusual yellow and orange dress that cut down above the thigh. It wasn't very normal. "This is my boyfriend, Ron." Zanna introduced the boy.
I stared at the boy, he wasn't much. Actually looked like a purple-eyed Zim. "Mistress." Mimi said pulling my arm. The Tallest had appeared. "Don't mind them, you know I'm Purple's niece!" Zanna lied. I raised an eye. "I doubt that, Tallest's don't have relatives." I told her.
Ron got up and stood in front of me. "Ma'am, we were wondering if you were to join us in an alliance." He asked. I smiled, polite boy. It was sickening though how his looks reminded me so much of Zim; he even had that wicked smile.
"I'm rather sure; Lea and Sheret have made an alliance with Zim by now, if you could help us..." He led off. I shot up again. "You know an idiot!?" I asked. They glanced at each other. "We're becoming acquainted with one." They told me.
"Lea, you hate her right?" I asked. They nodded. "I'm in." I hissed.

Lea
-
I smiled and high-fived Sheret. "Excellent Sherry." I laughed. "GIR! Say hi to Lea!" Sheret
Said picking up the defective robot and handing him to me. "HI LEA!" GIR screamed in my ear. I blinked. "Sheret, was that robot based off of you?" I asked annoyed. She shrugged.
"I don't think so; it can't name all 32,981 Tallests off the top of its head." Sheret informed me. "Pink, Blue, Chartreuse, Lilac, Violet, Onyx-" I cut Sheret off before she listed it for an hour. I nodded. "That's nice Sherry, listen why don't you and your twin go play in traffic?" I asked.
Sheret and GIR gasped smiling at each other. "Really?!" They asked excited. I thought for a second. "Sure! Go ahead! Knock yourselves out!" I said sarcastically. They ran off excitedly.
-
I smiled and tapped Zim's shoulder. "Zim? You seem tense, who're you looking for?" I asked, laying my hand on his shoulder. He moved away uncomfortable by the action. "Just an annoying female." He informed me. I smiled. "Your girlfriend?" I asked. He pushed me off.
"Tak isn't my girlfriend, she's insane. She probably snuck in here, she's tried to kill me." Zim told me. I giggled. "So she IS your girlfriend!" I exclaimed. He grunted. "Sad." I muttered.
The old woman that put us in lines put us in groups of ten as The Tallest finished speaking. "Alright maggots! Follow my hand! I will put you where you ingrates belong!" She yelled. She pointed at me, Zim, GIR, and Sheret into one corner of the square.
-
It didn't take long before only Zanna, Ron, and a Purple eyed girl were left. All 3 went into our group. Zim glared at the Purple eyed girl and her robot. "Tak. Mimi." He hissed. "Zim. GIR." Tak responded, I stared at their glares.
"I knew you two would ally the most despicable man on Irk." Zanna hissed at me. I cackled into the air. "He's the most talented!" I laughed. Sheret pet GIR and sat down in front of the female robot.
"I'm Sheret!" She introduced to Tak and Mimi. "No ally of Zim's will get sympathy from me." Tak hissed snobbishly.
"Okay maggots! Elect a group leader! Any faults will be theirs!" The old woman crowed. Tak and Zim raised their hands to be nominated. "I vote the quiet Orange-eyed girl." I said, pointing at a female with a bronze wig on. "Me?" She asked. "Yeah, you!" I hissed. Tak glared at me.
"Veronica? She isn't fit to lead a group! She hasn't had experience!" Tak yelled at me. I smiled. "And you have? Didn't you fail Devastis?" I asked cockily. Tak withdrew her hand shocked. "Yeah! I actually hear your rambling!" I pointed at Zim.
-
Veronica stood in front of us. "I'm honored, Lea. But I can't!" She yelled tearing up. "Moi Vei, you're not one of those ridiculously shy people are you?" I asked. "No!" She argued. "Leave poor Veronica alone." Tak and Zim told me. They paused to glare at each other.
"Listen, Veronica, do you want a couple of kids, two idiots, or a dog to lead this group?" I asked upset with her. Veronica shook her head and stared at them. "So, Veronica we're clear now, right?" I demanded. Veronica nodded and I sighed relieved.
"Okay guys! We've got a leader!" I yelled at Zim and Tak, whom were in a violent arguing fight. Zanna walked over annoyed and attempted to intimidate Veronica. "Peh, Fresh meat. I can lead better than her." Zanna hissed and glared at me. I rolled my eyes and led our group to board the shuttles.
Okay so that's my writing in the raw. I kind of like this story, Lea's kind of funny, you guys get to see the stars of a cartoon I'm doing on YouTube, so everyone wins. Also, what do you exactly think of Veronica? Reason I'm asking is because this is slightly Déjà vu-ish.
