The Underground War
Woot look at me go I'm writing again! Well this story has been brought to you by: WRITTERS BLOCK! Yes writers block, we all hate it and this is my way of trying to kill it so I can go back to my story! Also I noticed there aren't enough Tallest fics out there so I am making one! I've had this idea for a while now. It was inspired to actually write it by this REALLY awesome fic that you can check out here: Before They were Tallest, so thanks EchidnaHazard for your inspiring me to write fics again! Also, there are not enough Red fics. Most are Purple as the hero so Red fans this is for us! * hugglez Red and Wally *
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! NADDA! SoooooOOOoooo don't sue me! I don't even have the money for a lawyer and I really don't want that on my record k? So Jhonen Vasquez owns Invader Zim. We like him. Yes we do. Be kind to him. And me, don't sue me. Review if you want and I can take criticism. I hate arrogance. Ignore spelling and grammar and suck because in life: there is no spell check and I just don't give a damnz. Wow that was lame but you get the idea! Anyhow, on with the story! Oh, by the way, flashbacks (probably be a lot of them) will be script like, i.e. like camera motions and who says what, while the rest of the story will be in story form. Why? I wanna try different writing styles and it adds more dooky huh? Oh and later on the cosmos will collide and I will make this into a Lilo and Stitch crossover.. spooky no? HOW does it work you ask? Well the dude who plays Tallest Purple * hugglez Purple * Kevin McDonald, also does the voice of Agent Pleakley. It will be based off the show than the movie. ENJOY THE MADNESS!! OOHHH dear god a Lilo and Stitch crossover with Invader Zim? What crack am I on? Hehe I just kid, I'm not on crack. Not yet anywho. But since Kevin McDonald does the voice of Pleakly in Lilo and Stitch, it's scary how well it works. So in the later chapter's Lilo and Stitch will appear yay!

Look at him, just look at him. Staring at me are two oval royal purple eyes. Trying not to wince I stare back at him. Ten minutes. We have been at this battle for ten freakin minutes. He's good, but he's not going to win. Ooohhh no I have prepared too much for this. I can feel the workers staring at us, possibly questioning our sanity. Which is bad, if they question our sanity, they question your authority too. But anyone who says anything about it will be thrown in the air locks before they can say dooky. My back aches from arching like this for so long. I hate staring contests, but Purple must not win, at any costs, and being the moron he is this is his favorite "game". But games for us are really wars, I can't let him win. My eyes are getting watery from staring at one spot for so long. I know he's planning something against me, he always is. Always has. And the worst thing about it is we can't show it. We have to put on this best bud's, almost brother act for the sake of Irk.
It all started way back when Tallest Spork, rest in peace, got killed by Zim and Purple and I both became Tallest's in his place. I remember it as if it were yesterday.
(fog fills the scene to show a flashback and a younger version of Red and Purple are shown eating nachos in a local food court with a big crowd. mmm nachos, anyone else get a craving for them? Camera zooms in to Red and Purple to hear what they are saying, cuz, we're nosy like that.)
Purple, in between mouthfuls of nachos: so, what did you think of the ceremony for Tallest Myuki's funeral? I can't believe they let Zim get away with it! After all, he's caused Myuki's death! I can't believe they let him live.
Red sighs: it was sad. What else was there to say? ::grinning slightly:: I wonder what it'll be like being Tallest. Too bad she's dead, she was kinda hot, for a Tallest anyway.
(Purple sighed and rolled his eyes ignoring his friends last statement, it was well known Red had a crush on Tallest Myuki. ) oh come on, everyone in the Academy knows you'll be Tallest, and I'll be the Second.still, I wish there was a way we can BOTH be the Tallest.
(With this, Red spit out his nachos over Purple's face and bursted out laughing, rolling on the floor to be exact. Purple looked at him in discontent and wiped the chewed up nacho slush off his face with his sleeve)
Purple: what's so funny? I'm serious. I'm almost as tall as you, another growth spurt and I WILL be as tall as you. It'd be fun!
Red ( now glaring): FUN? Don't you DARE take this dream away from me Purple! * pokes his chest * I worked too damn hard for this dream Purple. Training every day, you think I wake up at 5 in the morning for the hell of it? I aced the physical examination, the obstacle course the -
Purple: but you failed the academic tests! I aced those! Come on Red, I'm just as qualified as you and you know it. You've got the muscles and I've got the brains. We're a good team!
* That was too much. Red's eyes narrowed at him and threw the remainder of his nachos at his face *
Red: TEAM? Tallest RED, Purple, is how it's going to be after we graduate! Not Tallest Red and Purple! There's no such thing as TWO Tallests! You'd better pray you don't grow Purple. My own bestest friend betray me. * GLARAGE * how could you.you..you JERK!
* Purple gasped at his last insult with nacho cheese dripping from his anteenas but didn't seem to care. Jerk was the biggest insult on Irk, besides calling someone a Zim. His antennas dropped in surrender wishing he had never said the idea *
Purple: RED come on it was just an idea! Wait come back!
* But it was too late, Red was already gone, leaving his ex-bestest-friend dripping in nacho cheese in humiliating defeat *
(spooky fog disappears and a "15 minute later" sign appears on the bottom side of the screen. The two Tallests were still staring at each other in a spooky, unnatural matter )
Glaring at him I knew he had to give up sometime. No way he can stare at that forever. Smirking evilly, I put a tray of nachos in front of him, without breaking my concentration. He smells the air and unable to resist the cheesy doom of nachos, he grabbed at them, crowning me the winner of the battle. I smirk at him slightly.
"I win."
I told him. And his look of horror was the sweetest victory ever. Yawning I check my watch and smile and crack my neck. Time to go home. Standing up I look at the workers. They were staring at us slightly horrified. I smiled at them reassuring and looked at Purple with a fake smile to show that we were 'friends'. Holding out my hand I offer a handshake 'to show no hard feelings'. Purple stared at it for a little while and sighed, reluctantly shaking it. He winced in pain as I made a point to shake it as hard as I could and cause him pain. It was as a sweet victory. The workers nodded in reassurance and go back to work, once more having faith in their Tallest restored. I glare down at Purple who quickly glares back and turn around to start towards my living quarters when he stood too.
"Hey Red."
He called at me. I turn around to see what that fool wanted. But it was too late. As soon as I turn around I scream as he hurls the very nachos I used at him zooming at my face and before I could do anything to stop it they collided with my face, the irony was far from amusing. I gasp in shock and wipe them off quickly and growl at them. Purple busted out laughing, and it would have been a comical sight if I weren't the victim.
"Hey nacho boy!"
He mused at me and the workers were cracking up along with Purple. I shoot all of them a glare but they seem not to notice and continue laughing, Purple laughing the loudest. I glare at him the most and turn around and storm out of the main control room with the echoes of laughter ringing through my head in a haunting matter. Oh how he will pay for this humiliation! Oh how he will pay.
Walking down the halls there is no one there but the typical guards at post. Looking down as I walk I try to get the nachos out of my antennas but it useless. Nothing but cleansing gel will get this stuff out. I think back to how this all started and sigh, half wishing it never began. Back to the days when we really were best friends instead of acting like it. But Purple started it, and I plan to end it. {dun duh dun!}
(Another flashback to Spork's time. It has just been a few month's since Spork became Tallest. Red, Purple, and Zim were still in the academy for training. Red and Purple were in politics, and Zim as we know was in training to be an Invader. The students are all in line to enter the great hall, much like the room in the first episode for the great assigning. They are in line to be measured in height by Tallest Spork and the second in command, Vas. Neither Red nor Purple spoke since their fight the other day about Purple's impressive rapid increase of height, so he neither dare told him, or had the heart to tell him that he grew again. Not only did he grow again, but now he was the exact same height as Red, how can you tell someone like that news like that? Purple glanced at Red nervously as the line died down and it was nearly their turn. Red smiled and stood upon the platform proudly and stood before Spork and the Second. The Second smiled down at Red as Spork spoke)
"Ah Sir Red, I hope you will keep your outstanding records of your height so far."
Red nodded proudly. "I believe I have my Tallest. it's an honor."
Purple rolled his eyes in the crowd since Red was never the dramatic type but Spork nodded not seeming to notice.
"Indeed it is.. my Second, please measure Red for us."
The Second bowed lightly and held a long meter stick up to Red. But this meter stick was electric so there were no mistakes, and it recorded the height records to the control brain right away, a very handy and important tool. Vas walked over to Red who seemed calm as if he did this every day and smiled.
"As predicted Red is the tallest of this class with a height of (gasps for dramatic effect) 6.4 feet. Unusually tall for someone your age Red, congratulations."
Red smiled and bowed lightly "Thanks." He smirked at Purple and got off the stage. Purple gulped nervously and approached the second in command. Like Red the electrical meter stick was placed beside him. The second's eyes widened and gasped for real this time.
"No, I don't believe it!"
Both Red and Spork raised an eyebrow at him.
"What are you talking about?" Spork demanded, and the second in command turned around stunned.
"Purple's height.. is.. is.. 6.4! The exact height that Red is! This has never happened before.. Not at this kind of height! Oh it's very common if they were smaller, but. but this is unheard of!"
There was great murmur among the crowd of students watching them. Purple smiled nervously at them then at the Second and Tallest Spork. His gaze fell at Red and his antennas dropped seeing the look of hatred he had given him. Purple looked down at the floor sadly, he didn't want any of this. He wanted Red to be 6.4 and him to be 6.3. Red the Tallest and he the Second.just like Red's dream. But now this was a nightmare. Would this disqualify them? Would NEITHER of them be the Tallest? He gulped at this and looked at Red who was still glaring at him. Spork and the Second were talking among themselves for what seemed like hours and the students slowly left the auditorium as they were dismissed. Purple watched as Red walked off with a quick brisk of anger with the rest of the students, leaving him alone on stage, the spotlight still locked on him. He frowned as Spork and the Second eventually walked out as well neither of them said a word to Purple. Purple groaned and sat on the stage, even when the lights went out. He laid down there on the stage all night, not even getting up for dinner. He knew Red would be furious and didn't even want to see him. Red was known to be aggressive when he was angry, and Purple found that out first hand many times.
