Hello, and welcome to my first story for invader zim! I loved this show growing up, and i've been on a zim kick recently, so i decided "why not?" and made a fanfiction for it.

This story will contain the following pairings: ZaGr, DaTr.

chapter one:

Zim's plan

Zim hated humans. There is no disputing this, it's a blatantly obvious fact. despite this, he still couldn't bring himself to kill the girl who stood before him. He had killed many humans over the seven years he has been on earth, and yet, this one was different. He was completely terrified of this one. The purple haired female before him intimidated him to no end, but he refused to let that show. He glared at the human, fighting back his unease.

"What do you think you are doing in the base of the mighty ZIM, you filthy human?"

The purple haired girl looked around, taking her time with her answer. Zim stared at her impatiently.

"Well?" The irken asked, not exactly expecting a response at this point, just looking for an excuse to get rid of her.

The girl looked at zim. "I'm bored, and i decided to come bother you."

Zim rubbed the space between his eyes, about where the bridge of his nose would be if he were human, in irritation. "...little Gaz-human, surely you are more mature than that. When i landed on this planet seven years ago, when you were ten years old and your brother was eleven, you were doing the same thing you are doing right now. Breaking into someone's house to bother them purely because you were bored. Now, please tell me, because i am honestly confused about this, how did you even get in without setting off the security systems?

Gaz smirked, and Zim growled a bit. "Gir let me in. He's a nice, for an idiot."

Zim stepped towards Gaz, narrowing his eyes slightly. "I advise that you watch your tongue, little-Gaz. While Gir may be lacking in intelligence, and is definitely insane, he is an excellent companion and assistant. Besides, i've grown rather fond of the little robot."

Gaz laughed slightly. "Well, i've never seen you get so defensive for anyone other than yourself. what's gotten into you?"

Zim raised a nonexistent eyebrow. "I'm not getting defensive, little-gaz. I'm simply stating that nobody who isn't me is allowed to insult my robot unless i say they can."

Gaz shook her head, a smirk still plastered on her face. "Zim, that's called getting defensive."

Zim glared at her. "I'm going to do something i almost never do, and allow you to leave right now. The only reason i am even considering this is because by this point, you and your brother are well aware of what i am, and nothing i can do short of killing you will change that. Now, unless you wish for me to do something drastic, i recommend that you leave my base. Immediately."

Gaz grinned. "What, you're going to kill me if i don't go? jeez, and you thought i was immature for breaking in, shorty."

"HEY!" zim stared at her indignantly. while on earth, he had grown in height as a result of the lower gravity when compared to that of his home planet, but he was still below average. Roughly as tall as gaz, if not a tiny bit shorter. "How DARE you insult me in such a way? I am a proud irken invader, show some respect, dirt-beast!"

Gaz rolled her eyes, obviously not affected by Zim's outburst. "Whatever. Have you been working on anything recently?"

Zim backed away from her. "Did the Dib-stink send you to spy on me? HE DID, DIDN'T HE?!"

Gaz sighed, looking at zim as though he was an idiot. "No, Zim. Dib didn't send me. He knows better than to ask me for help with his paranormal bullcrap." She walked into the kitchen, and over to the horribly disguised elevator to the lower levels. Zim ran over to her, and stood in her way.

"HEY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" Zim growled at her. "You can't go down there!"

Gaz pushed zim out of the way. "Who is going to stop me, Zim?" she steps into the elevator, followed by a particularly angry irken. As the elevator descended, gaz looks at zim. "You didn't answer my question." Zim growls slightly, then sighs.

"If you must know, i plan to use a combination of a temporal engine and a multiverse wormhole generating device to transport this FILTHY planet directly to the irken armada."

Gaz looks at him skeptically. "Can't you just use a teleporter? i know that you have them, i used one to get onto your space station back when we were in elementary skool."

Zim shakes his head, smirking. "Silly human. don't you think that i'd use my teleporter if it was powerful enough? It can teleport people, but not whole planets. however, with my current actions, i will be able to send the earth to the armada. I will use the multiverse wormhole generator, or M.W.G, to connect a wormhole from this universe to another location still within this reality. I've found that it is much quicker than waiting for a wormhole that just happens to take you exactly where you need to be. The temporal engine is here because in the wormholes created by the M.W.G, time acts a bit.. differently. Because they are outside of space and time, instead of actually sending you to different points in time, it just speeds time up and slows it down. In all the tests i've conducted with this combination, speeding up time in the wormhole will make objects of any mass move with incredible speed. The filthy dib-human will have no time to stop my plan, because by the time he gets to my base, the tallests would begin the biological sweep on the planet!" Zim looked at Gaz, expecting her to be impressed by his obviously brilliant plan. she wasn't.

"Knowing you, something will go wrong." zim began ranting about how nothing could go wrong with the plan, but she didn't pay attention. She looked over at a control panel, and began to approach it. She tripped over a thick wire, and when she tried to stop herself from falling, her hand hit a few buttons. As she was getting up, she heard a sound like a machine powering up, along with Zim screaming "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, DIRT-BEAST?!" she turned to look at Zim so she could explain that it was an accident, but she was interrupted by a bright flash of white.

Well, that's chapter one out of the way. Good. Not going to lie, i had some fun writing this. I'm not sure if i wrote the characters very… well, in character, though. It's not a massive problem, seeing as they've had about seven years to grow and mature in this fic, but i just can't seem to find the perfect center with "too much of their old personality [so much that they seem more like a stereotype of themselves]" and "not enough of their old personality [completely different characters that look like them and are named the same, but are far from being the actual characters.]" so, yeah. unless i get a lot of complaints about it, they are as they will be.
