Chapter Notes

Disclaimers: I do not own Invader Zim

Author's Note's: Book 2 here we go! But first I would love to thank everyone for reading this series, it is my first ZADR (I'm more of a BillDip kind of girl but my Cousin, Amber [who is also my editor] wanted me to do something new so here we are.) So please only constructive criticism, and no flames.

BTW: Sorry for the late post, between Labor Day weekend, The Hurricane, and School I've been pretty tied up, but we're here now so let's get started!

[Four weeks ago...]

(Location: Some Where in Space)

He had to of lost his ever loving mind!

Yes, that was the only explanation he could come up with, after all this wasn't his style. Invader Skoodge narrowed his dark ruby eyes to the vast void of space that fell before him. He had done the unspeakable, he had stolen a Royal Voot Cruiser, but not just any Royal cruiser, Prince Maz's Royal Cruiser!

Did he have a death wish?

He must have, why else would he do something so risky?

'Because I have to get to Zim!' Invader Skoodge told himself. 'He must know what's really going on!' Of course as noble as his reasoning may be it was still a crime of "High Theft Cruiser" he of course would have taken his own Voot if it was not preprogramed to stay docked. Whenever an Invader was not on a mission they stayed on the Massive, their Voots would be preprogramed to stay docked, and anyone who tried to start up their Voot who wasn't supposed to would trigger an alarm and be stopped!

And he couldn't afford to be stopped! Hell he couldn't afford to be caught at all, after all his name was on this turkey too! Without him Prince Zim would have never got off of Irk, and if the Emperor found that out he'd kill him. 'Zim can protect me though.' Invader Skoodge thought, it was selfish thought, but Zim did owe him. He owed a lot, more than he knew.

For if Invader Skoodge hadn't helped him off their home world, and into the Academy, Zim would have never stumbled upon Earth. A planet that was now the sole reason for the Irken Empire's victory over the Whorl-pool Galaxy. Yes, Zim owed him much, but Invader Skoodge knew the perfect way for him to pay up! Besides Zim needed to know that everything he had worked for was about to be in jeopardy! He could just imagen the look on his old friend's face when he discovers the truth.

Zim had left the shadow of his father, because he hated how the Nobles set back and forced the mix breeds to do all the work, while they themselves took all the credit. No, Prince Zim wanted to make a name for himself, make his own accomplishments; earn the right to be called the Prince of Irk! And Invader Skoodge had helped him do it, now Zim had finally made a respectable name for himself; only to have his brothers steal the planet as their own.

It was a simple decision made by their father, you see Emperor Nax had three sons, the eldest Zim, did not want the throne; he wanted to be an Invader. His two younger brothers on the other hand each want the throne as their own. However, Emperor Nax wants Zim to be his successor!

So what does he do?

He makes a little wager…

Whoever secures Earth, gets the throne. Meaning if Prince Zim wants to have full credit for his work, and keep his new found respect; he has to secure Earth, and reclaim his place by his father's side.

Invader Skoodge shook his head, Zim was going to strangle him when he delivered this news; because Zim was defiantly a "Kill the messenger" kind of guy. But Invader Skoodge didn't care, he owed Zim this much, after all he talked the Prince into it in the first place. This was his idea, and Zim had took his advice!

Yes, this was all his fault, but he planned to make it right! At top speed the Royal cruiser would have him in Earth's orbit in a month's time. If he had been in his own ship it would have taken an agonizing 6 months, by then it would be too late. At least this way he'd get there in time, unfortunately the Massive would get their first, his only hope was that Zim's brothers didn't enter the Earth's atmosphere right away.

'If they're smart they'll watch Zim for a while, and learn how to fit in before starting these games.' Invader Skoodge thought knowingly. 'Cause if they don't they could jeopardies everything!'

With that thought fresh on his mind Invader Skoodge focused on the journey ahead, his mission was simple: Warn Zim!

He could only hope he'd make it in time!
