This is a Zim and Gaz story. I am not JV, I am not as awesome as him, I do not own Invader ZIM. I want to thank NikkiDaydream10 for her inspiration and support, and I wanted to shout out to her about how much I loved her Invader ZIM Supernatural Spectacular of Spooky Doom fic. It was EPIC!
This is how I think a real ZAGR could have happened in the series. I made this fanfic as a part two for the unfinished episode Ten Minutes to Doom. I'll keep everyone in character. I just think this scary goth girl and psychotic alien were made for each other (and arguably the two most evil people who deserve each other)! Real ZAGR, dark humor, scifi, and craziness ensue. Onward to ZAGR! Sit back and enjoy!
After Ten Minutes to Doom!
We leave off at ZIM running through the hole in the hole in Professor Membrane's lab. A furious Gaz is chasing him, as well as Torque Smackey, who is not far behind. Dib is elsewhere trying to stop Destructio the robot.
" AAAAAAAH!" Zim screamed for his life as the harbinger of doom known as Gaz was chasing him down the street.
" You will PAY ZIM!" Gaz said in a threatening low growl.
" ZIIIIIIIIIIIMMM! Take it back! Take back the dookie weenie!" Torque screamed as he followed them not far behind.
ZIM swiftly activates his spider legs for a hopefully quick escape. Gaz quickly grabs one of the legs and uses it to throw ZIM to the ground. ZIM groaned in pain. He watched in fear as the small but terrifying human girl loomed over him, infuriated. If looks could kill, he would be dead. Torque runs over to them, wanting in on the action of pummeling ZIM. Gaz shoots Torque a deadly stare.
" Back off! This one's mine. I get to make him suffer horribly." Gaz ordered Torque.
Torque began to slowly inch away from Gaz "Okay scary girl." He said quaking in fear as he quickly ran away from her.
Gaz looms over ZIM ominously.
Dib is in the park chasing Destructio, who is blasting apart the place.. Destructio is about to blast a hobo, but Dib jumps on the back of the robot, angering it further
" AAAH! Must ...remove robot brains!" Dib said in a struggle with the Zim programmed robot.
Destructio nearly blasts Dib with a laser. Dib unhinges the top of the robot's head and removes the robotic brain. The robot comes to a halt, and then flops on the ground. Dib is exhausted. A crowd of onlookers are watching Dib in confusion.
" Whew! That was close! At least this is another win for mankind!" Dib yelled in excitement.
One guy comes forward and looks at all the damage Destructio has caused to the already polluted park.
" Hey! That kid's robot almost killed us!" The man shouted angrily.
"Yeah!" Another person yelled as she joined in.
Dib began to look panicked. " That's not my robot! That's the alien's! He programmed it to destroy us all! I've only been telling everybody this for a year! He wants to take over Earth and-"
" He wrecked our park! LET'S GET HIM!" A third man shouted. Before Dib knew it an angry crowd begins to form, and people pull out torches and pitchforks, chasing a sprinting Dib from the park. This is the thanks he gets for trying to save these oblivious people.
Dib begins talking to himself while trying to elude an angry mob of oblivious morons. "UGH! This is all ZIM's fault! Well, at least Gaz ran after him-" Dib stopped himself dead in his tracks as he realized his little sister is alone with crazy Zim.
" OH NO! He's probably furious that I stole his brain-pak thing and is looking for revenge! I gotta find Gaz! But where could they have went?!" Dib yelled in a panic. He suddenly hears ZIM yelling in fear.. Dib gets angry when he hears the alien's voice. " ZIM! I'm coming Gaz!"
"Any last words, Zim?" Gaz asked as she was about to remove the alien's limbs.
Zim screamed in fear for his life. "Dibsister! I'm ss-sorry I lied to you and involved your precious gaming device, but I was hoping you would help the AMAZING ZIM and save my life from expiring on this filthy planet!" Zim began to plead for the first time in his life.
" I was going to help you anyways, even before you lied to me and stole my Gameslave!" She told him. She was about to snap.
" You're lying!" Zim, who had his eyes closed and was bracing for a fist in his face, opened his eye in confusion. "Wait..What?! Why?"
Gaz paused for a moment because she had to think of a valid reason as to why she wanted to save his life in the first place. Truth is, she did not really understand why. Why did she care? She quickly changed the subject.
" Doesn't matter. You weren't making any sense. You were talking too fast." She told him.
"Of course I was talking too fast, I was dying! Without my pak, I was deteriorating. You were the only one capable of saving my amazing life! You were the only one clever enough, and strong enough to help me!" He admitted to the tiny human. He actually complimented her! He couldn't believe himself, complimenting a human, but he knew it was all true. Gaz began to put her fists down.
Zim, who was still laying on the ground, held onto her hand. " So thank you Dibsister! Thank you for saving Zim's incredible life!" He hoped by thanking her, she would go easy on him.
" You're not getting off that easy. You lied, and you sill stole my Gameslave from me." She reminded him.
" I gave it back!" Zim sheepishly told her.
" You dropped it on the floor like an idiot! It's probably broken!" Gaz shouted at him.
" What do you want from Zim?! Uh... Um... I can make you a newer, better game device than the one you currently have!" He desperately offered. It was his only chance to appease her.
" What do you know about video games?" She snapped, with her eyebrow raised.
" Zim knows so much! I love video games!" He truthfully told her.
" Really?" She asked sarcastically, not really buying it.
" In fact, when I'm not busy conquering your filthy planet, or fighting with the Dib-Monkey, I play video games! My gaming technology would put your pitiful Earth technology to shame!" Zim arrogantly informed the scary girl.
Gaz felt slightly interested, but she was trying not to show it. " I'm listening…"
"That is what I shall do! Make you a newer, better, gaming device. I'm sure you'll be amazed!" Zim promised her.
" Fine. You have until the end of the week." She ordered.
" End of the week?! The week's end!? But I'll be busy with my new plan to conquer and destroy your disgusting planet!" Zim shouted angrily.
" Too bad. You have one week to make me a new game system, and you have the rest of eternity to try to conquer Earth and fail!" She told him.
" Okay! Okay! I shall give you your new gaming device by the end of the week, Dibsister." He promised.
" Deal." She said as she accepted his promise of a new gaming device. She holds out her hand to shake Zim's hand. He is still laying on the ground. ZIM reluctantly shakes her hand, feeling a bit strange. Gaz held his hand tightly and helped him off the ground. Zim stares at her inquisitively. He felt briefly intimidated by the tiny purple haired girl, but also found himself fascinated by her strength and scary personality. She could easily conquer and doom a planet all on her own, that is, if she wasn't preoccupied by her video games. Gaz felt a little strange being this close to Zim, especially after the events of today. A beat up Dib comes around the corner, noticing Zim and his sister, hand in hand. He begins to freak out.
Dib begins screaming at the sight of the villainous, lunatic alien holding onto his little sister's hands. "ZIM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER!?" Dib screamed at the top of his lungs.
A surprised ZIM and Gaz realize they are holding each other's hands. They let go of each other immediately.
" Zim is doing nothing! NOTHING!" He yelled back at Dib.
" Gaz! Are you okay?!" Dib asked, kicking into protective big brother mode.
" I'm fine, Dib." She said calmly.
Dib grabbed a hold of Zim and began to threaten him. " You better not have hurt my sister!"
Zim shoves Dib off of him." I did no such thing! She hurt me!" Zim truthfully informed him.
" He invoked my wrath." Gaz calmly told Dib.
" This is all Dib's fault!" Zim accusingly yelled as he points his finger right in Dib's angry face. "If he hadn't stolen my pak, I would have never required your assistance, and your game device would still be in tact!"
Gaz turns her evil gaze over to Dib. She glares at him.
" Oh come on, Gaz! That pak would have been irrefutable proof that Zim's an alien! I could have finally proved that to Dad! I could be on Mysterious Mysteries again, or have my own paranormal show! I could have stopped him once and -"
" Shut up, Dib!" She angrily ordered her brother, who fell silent. Dib started to look afraid.
Zim laughed maniacally at Dib. "Foolish, pathetic, Dib. Did you really think you ever had a chance at defeating me?! The almighty ZIM?!"
He activates his spider legs and grabs Dib, slamming him onto the ground. He activates the lasers in his pak, aiming them right at Dib. Gaz shows a rare smile at Dib's expense.
" Even without my pak I defeated you! And you'll be happy to know that I am working on a new, master plan to destroy you and your filthy planet!" Zim yelled at a frightened Dib.
"After, you give me my new game system." Gaz added on.
" Yes! And I shall work on this new, amazing plan after I create a new gaming device for your scary sister!" Zim said clearly.
" No! You won't get away with whatever evil plan you're up to this time, alien scum!" Dib yelled.
People who were passing by begin to stop and look at the commotion. Zim deactivates his lasers and spider legs.
Zim started to search for an explanation..." uh... We're normal! We were just, uh, playing a game!" He said oh so innocently.
The people, satisfied with Zim's lie, walk away. Others follow, completely ignoring the fact they saw robotic appendages coming out of the green kid's weird backpack.
" HA! Prepare for some DOOM, Dib!" He said as he activates his spider legs once again and quickly heads for his base.
" I'll stop you, Zim! You won't win this time!" Dib warned him, shaking his fist.
ZIM simply ignores him. Dib and Gaz start to walk home.
" I can't believe you Gaz! You saved his life!" Dib scolded his sister.
" So?" She asked.
" He's a criminally insane alien bent on world domination, Gaz! Are you crazy!?" He shouted, trying to understand his sister's sanity.
" Quiet, Dib." She told him, as she was starting to get annoyed.
" So, why did you save his life? What exactly happened? Did he hurt you? Threaten you?" Dib questioned, trying to stay calm.
Gaz began to growl. " NO! I saw him laying half dead at the arcade. He told me you stole his pak, and that you stole my Gameslave, so I helped him." She told him, leaving him baffled.
" And how did you get him to the lab so fast?" Dib asked yet another question.
" My motorcycle." She informed him.
Dib was about to flip out now. "Are you serious?! You took ZIM on your motorcycle with you?! He wants to destroy us all and you helped him?!"
" eh... he's so bad at it though." She said as she shrugged it off.
"Ugh... I just want to know why you helped him. You never help anyone! You only help me once in a while." Dib pressed for more answers. It was like an interview.
Gaz sighed. "I don't know. ZIM is one of the very few people who I don't completely hate."
"Wait... So you like him?!" Dib shouted in accusation.
This caught Gaz off guard and made her blush slightly. " No! I just- He's going to make me a new game system now since he dropped and BROKE MINE!" She quickly answered.
" All this for a new game system?! You enlisted the help of an evil alien, who wants to take over Earth, to make you a new game system?! And everyone thinks I'M the crazy one!" Dib yelled.
" He has until the end of the week, or he will PAY!" Gaz ominously warned.
Dib grows quiet and begins forming an idea. Hmmm... If I can prevent Zim from working on her new game system, Gaz will end him! Then I won't have to worry about the alien menace anymore! But I'll have to distract him! Wow! I have good ideas! Dib thought to himself.
The two siblings arrive at their house and walk in. Professor Membrane is sitting at the kitchen table with a stern look on his face.
" Kids, I want to talk to you about what happened today." Professor Membrane said in a serious tone of voice.
" I'm sorry I wrecked your lab and your robot, Dad. But Zim's pak was taking over my mind and-"
" That's the problem, son. Zim is NOT an alien." The Professor began to explain. " He seems like a nice, normal, little boy. Gaz, you're friends with Zim. You two came to the lab together…"
"Yeah, I guess." Gaz grumbled. She didn't feel like having this pointless conversation about how she and Zim are not friends. They merely worked together.
" The little foreign boy goes to skool with both of you. Invite him here tomorrow for a family dinner night." The Professor unexpectedly announced. This stunned both Dib and Gaz.
Dib is about to lose his sanity at this ridiculous idea of Zim coming over for family night, after everything that happened today.
" He wants to take over the world and he gets invited to family night?!" Dib screamed in a fit of rage as he felt he was losing what was left of his sanity.
" Son, your sister and her friend had to stop you today because as I recall you wanted to rule us all, not Zim. I would like to invite him over to show you once and for all that he is a normal kid, so this alien nonsense can stop, and you can finally move forward." Professor Membrane explained.
" But I don't like Zim!" Dib pouted.
" It's settled. Gaz, invite your little green friend over tomorrow for dinner with us. Now, onto dinner!" The Professor said cheerfully as he ran out of the room.
Dib's jaw was hanging open. He was baffled. His Dad just invited his worst enemy, not to mention a psychotic alien bent on world domination, to a family dinner night. " WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"
Gaz began to look amused. " Dad just invited Zim over for dinner with us. This should be funny." She chuckled.
" Does he realize what he just did?! He invited my arch-nemesis over for family night! He knows I hate Zim! Zim doesn't even like earth food! He just spits it everywhere and flails around and- wait! I could expose him for the alien scourge that he is and Dad will see! Then, and only then will-"
" Hey, I get to pick which place we order food from." Gaz interrupted.
" No way! You picked last time!" Dib pouted.
" We're ordering from Bloaty's." She firmly told Dib.
"Again? Not that Bloaty's pizza isn't good or anything, but we order from there all the time!" Dib said.
" You always pick somewhere lame, like MacMeaties! Even I spit out the food from there!" She reminded him.
Dib shuddered at the thought of eating anything from MacMeaties ever again. "Good point. Hey, where are you going?"
Gaz put on a black coat. " I'm going out." She informed him.
" Where? Why?" Dib asked.
" To the mall." She said as she grabbed a baseball bat. "I need a new Game slave. Stupid Zim."
" I thought you were forcing him to make you a new one?" Dib inquired as he scratched his head.
" Yeah, but I need my original GS2 NOW. And then I'll see what kind of game system he makes me." She bluntly answered as she walked out the door and slammed it shut, causing various lamps and vases to fall to the floor and shatter.
Dib opened the door and watched his sister walk down the sidewalk. He shuddered at the fact his psycho sister, who was probably going through game slave withdrawals had just stomped out the door with a baseball bat in her hand, now smashing random lawn ornaments and mailboxes along the way. Those poor, clueless fools at the mall would have no idea what they were in for tonight, as Gaz would surely go on a scary rampage for a new GS2. And even worse than that, Zim might be coming over for dinner the following day at his house. Zim, the evil, crazed alien who never stops threatening the world, could possibly be eating dinner with his family, who doesn't perceive him as a real threat. Poor Dib's day was bad enough, but tomorrow was probably going to be a nightmare. That is, unless he had anything to say about it.
"I will stop you, Zim. I WILL MAKE YOU RUE THE DAY YOU EVER MESSED WITH EARTH!" Dib shouted, shaking his fists in anger.
"Shut up, kid! I'm trying to watch Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy!" An older woman shouted in anger from across the street.
Dib simply rolled his eyes, grumbling to himself about the fool who watched that dumb cartoon and headed inside. Tomorrow was going to be a long, doom- filled day.
