After 5 years on Earth, Zim was getting tired of it and thought he would never doom' it.

He decided that when the Tallest finally sent a transmission to him.

(Flash Back)

Zim was working in his lab testing on a mongoose. The computer beeped and told him the Tallest were coming in. Zim was a bit shocked as they usually never called him. He pressed a purple button on his pad and watched the transmission.

Red: Zim, we have something to tell you.

Purple: This is a recording. We are far away. You cannot call back as we have cut off your signal.

Red: You are banished from Irk for causing it so much suffering! You will stay on that rock your on till you DIE! HEAR ME! DIE!

(End of Flashback)

It was then he realized it was all a trick. Everyone was right. The Tallest did lie to him. Zim didn't know why he didn't see it before. Skoodge, Tak and all the others were telling the truth, he just refused to listen.

A week after the transmission, Zim was packing up to leave. He got all of his weapons and such in a small compartment he made, and the base looked empty and deserted.

Gir was on the floor, somehow realizing they were leaving. "Where we goin'?" He asked timidly. Zim just looked at Gir in a strange way, then quickly told him, "We need to leave, Gir. This is not a real mission. We shouldn't be doom'ing this pitiful ROCK."

Gir looked a little sad and looked out the window watching a squirrel. "Where we gonna go?"

Zim sighed and pressed a red button, turning off the base leaving it in darkness. He sighed.

"I don't know, Gir."

CHAPTER 2

Zim walked out of his house, dragging Gir by the antenna as his voot was lowering to him. Dib was standing there quickly taking pictures going insane. "HA! This is proof of your existence, Zim!" He claimed waving the camera. Dib saw that Zim didn't plunge after him and break the camera.

"Hey! Hey I'm talking to you, Zim!"

Zim ignored him and climbed in the voot along with Gir. "Where are you going! To your home planet!" Dib yelled at Zim.

Zim was pissed at what he said, "I don't have a home planet!" And shot Dib with a laser, knocking the camera out of his hand as it broke on the sidewalk. Dib's hand bled violently as Zim set off.

OOOO

Zim and Gir had been in space for a week. The Tallest thought he had gotten their recording or he died, as Zim never showed up at the Massive yelling and asking what kind of joke it was. They were satisfied, but deep down, guilty.

20 years later

Soon Irk cared less for Zim. They barley noticed he was gone, but had new problems.

There was a new Tallest now; Katrina. Her green eyes her remarkably sharp as she barked orders. Many thought she was a Meekrob, disguised to ruin the Irken Empire.

But she was an Irken all right; and was a far better ruler than all the Tallest in Irken history. Soon 45 new planets were added to the Armanda, and the population of Irk tripled. Many aliens feared her, and those who stood up to her, ended up fighting their last war.

She had heard of this Zim', and was amused on how such a small little Irken could cause so much trouble. He's exiled, She thought, looking out the window watching ships pass. He won't ruin my planet.

Katrina had a daughter, Zeka. She wanted her to be the next Tallest, but Zeka was extremely small, just an inch then Skoodge.

And that disappointed her. I can't have a little thing for a daughter! So Katrina simply didn't pay much attention to Zeka.

MEANWHILE

Zim had heard about the new Tallest. He didn't pay much attention. Zim had his own underground base at Planet Dirt, safe from any Irken or alien. He didn't want anything to do with the Irkens, and as far as he was concerned; they didn't want anything to do with him. He stayed in his lab most of the time, using old parts from ships he would find and create amazing weapons and equipment.

Gir was with him, too. The little unit usually broke the things and was completely useless; but Zim didn't mind. He enjoyed having Gir as his companion.

Zeka's POV

I was in my room, looking at myself in a full-length mirror. I hated myself for being so small. People always thought I lied when I said I was Tallest Katrina's daughter. They taunted me and said I was too small, and I stopped being proud having Tallest Katrina for a mother.

She thought very highly of herself and hated rejects like me. I mostly stayed in my room and waited for dinner, looking out my window seeing the cruisers dodge their way around the Massive.

It was that day when I had it and ran away.

Katrina, as I called her, was scolding me for having such a stunted height. I listened sulking with hate burning in my eyes.

"You'll never amount to ANYTHING! Tiny ones like you usually die before reaching 12,000 years! Taller ones like me; however; have a benefit! We always live longer than ones like you!"

I wanted to tear off my antenna and become deaf forever.

"Your damn growth spurt just wasn't enough! You're just like an ordinary Irken! The only good thing about you is your green-eyed! Green eyes run well in the family! At least you have some honor!"

I exploded and screamed back at her.

"WELL SO WHAT IF I'M SMALL! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! I'M RUNNING AWAY, HEAR ME! I'LL JOIN THE ALIENS AND FIGHT AGAINST MY OWN PLANET!"

Katrina was about to attack when I took off. She had a hover pad connected to her PAK, and hovering/running isn't very fast. I was very agile and jumped in an extra pod before she could even see the last of me.

In my pod, I set a course for planet Dirt. I would be able to hide there, maybe. She wouldn't find me. Irk stopped using that planet years ago, I thought.
