Another Part of Me: Prolog
Zim's POV
It's been two months since my life changed. Looking at my progress, some might say for the better, but I'd have to disagree. I would say one my biggest accomplishments would be the completion of my mission; Earth is now nothing more than dust drifting off into the vastness of space. All that's left to do is to return to Irk and wait for my retrial. It's amazing, after telling the Tallest about the success of my mission they've decided to give me another chance…well only if the control brain agrees that I've proven my worth.
If any other banished irken was in my place they would be ecstatic. But I simply can't make myself be happy...There has been something dwelling inside of me ever since that day. I've tried to deny it, but I can't anymore. The guilt is eating me alive and I know that it was all my fault.
"I'm sorry."

Chapter One: The Accident
*Warning: Character death, violence blood and guts. Not for the children or the squeamish.*
Narrator POV
It is the end of yet another day of hi-skool. As the big off yellow buses pull up, students flee from the building. Some just happy to be outside and away from their classrooms while others want to get away from the bickering echoing through the skool. It isn't long before the remaining teens make their way to the exit. Among those stragglers is Dib Membrane and his sister Gaz. As usual the two step off to the side.
"This is getting old. Make it quick or I'm leaving without you." Gaz says and pulls out her gameslave.
Dib nods in acknowledgement, his gaze is fixed on the double doors and ready to continue the fight. As if on cue, a green figure emerges from the building.
"Alien scum!" he screams at him.
"You big headed monstrosity, I told you I don't have time for your nonsense today." Zim says as he passes him by.
Without hesitation Dib steps out in front of him with his arms crossed lazily over his chest. Zim stops and looks up at him, his hands ball up in rage. They both glare daggers at each other.
"What are you plaining!" Dib spits.
"That's none of your business now MOVE!"
"Should I actually be concerned or would it be a waste of my time?"
"What's that supposed to fucking mean?"
"It's just that all of your plans end up failing in one way or another. I'm just asking to save myself the trouble of trying to foil it."
"With a head so gargantuan, I thought you would have figured out by that I don't have the time to converse. I guess I was wrong. "
"My head is not big!"
"It's so big it should have its own gravitational pull Dib-shit."
Dib glares down at the alien.
"No wonder why your leaders didn't want you, everything you try to do blows up in your face."
"Fuck off!" Zim screams.
He shoves him out of his way and off of the sidewalk. Dib trips backwards and falls to the ground. A chorus of voices erupt.
"OH MY GOD!"
"NO!"
"STOP!"
"STOP!"
"NO!"
Dib's head snaps to the right and his eyes go wide, his mouth opens but no sound comes out. He is frozen in place from fear. The air is filled with the sound of cracking, squishing and squealing tires.
In a matter of seconds a small group of students and teachers are gathered in a circle around the teen. There is a set of bloody tire tracks leading from the group and the ground where they stand is covered in the crimson liquid. Everyone is in hysterics. A few run from the crowd and go off to puke in the nearby bushes. A teacher is on his cell phone talking to a nine one one dispatcher.
When the paramedics arrive the area is evacuated and the on lookers are told to go wait behind the skool for questioning. Zim doesn't hear anything he is being told, he is transfixed on the sight in front of him. His now once rival's body lying motionless on a stretcher his legs crushed in. The only thing left of his head are the pieces being scraped of the road.

I feel like I just can't write today for some reason… There might be a chance that I'll go back and edit or rewrite this chapter at some point, I don't know. I normally don't do point of view changes, but I a few ideas in mind that involves flipping back and forth between Zim, Dib and the narrator. Just a pre-warning, the next chapter will contain some religious content, I do not mean to offend anyone! I haven't seen any other fanfictions on this topic before (not just this chapter, the whole story) and if there are I'm sorry. Every time I try to double space it still gets pushed together...
This might turn into a ZADR at some point.
