My first Invader Zim story. This will feature a major OC of mine. He's an Irken I've been working with for a long time now. I have so many other versions of how to introduce him, but I figured this is the best way. I won't say much about him, except his name is Izam and he is actually one of the shortest irken out there. Even smaller than Zim.
Now this chapter is just a prologue. My other chapters will be longer than this. I hope you all enjoy this and enjoy Izam. I've just fallen in love with this little guy and I hope you all like him too. And no, this story isn't just about him. In fact just Dib will be the main character of a story arc that will come in the future. Oh yeah, I have this thing planned out!
Anyways here you go. Enjoy and don't forget to review!
The small little irken sighed as he walked back an forth in his ship. He would clench up his hands from time to time while he growled softly to himself. "It's been nearly a year now. Why haven't we found him yet?"
The SIR unit that was currently typing away on a mini computer casually looked over at him with his flickering white eyes. "Master, you must rest. We will find him. I promise you." He looked back at the screen in front of him before rapidly typing away on the keyboard.
The young alien groaned, rubbing a hand down his face. "But TAF, I can't take this waiting anymore! What if the Tallest have done something terrible to him!? What if he's out there cold and hungry!? What if-"
"Master!" the android snapped. He sighed in relief when his master and creator calmed down. "Look Master. You must calm down. Getting worked up like this will only cause you problems."
The irken looked down at his personal SIR unit with a pout. He lowered his curley lekku before plopping down on his chair. "You're right TAF. I'm getting worked up over nothing. I...just have to be patient..." He crossed his arms over his red dress-like shirt. He pouted childishly when he noticed the painted on circle with a line over it was wearing off, revealing the Irken symbol beneath it.
"Good, now I will prepare-"
"WHY CAN'T THEY FIND HIM NOW!?" the Irken shouted, beyond irritated. He snapped back up and stomped his feat on the ground, much like a child.
TAF sighed again, deciding to leave his master alone while he threw his temper tantrum. It was best to leave the tiny irken alone when he got like this. "I think he needs an off switch..."
About an hour passed by and the irken was still furious. The little guy was never known for being patient after all, and he's been waiting for a life time in his eyes. Just as he was about to turn his ship around, deciding to give up for the day and come back the next like he always does, a transmission popped up on his screen.
He stared at the monitor for a moment before sitting back down on his chair that was far to big for the small guy. "Computer, answer the call."
"Yes sir!" a voice responded back before an image appeared on the screen. It was a small Vortian and the irken instantly recongized him, smiling happily. "Ah, Lard Nar. How are you doing?"
The grey alien saluted, still not used to showing genuine kindness to an irken. "Hello Izam. I am fine. I'm surprised you are still in the vicinity."
"Why? I always come to this location at this time of the day." Izam looked to the watch on his wrist. "Yep, and this is usually when I leave. Nothing odd here."
"What I mean is, we've sent you information about his location about a week ago. I would have thought you would have left long ago."
The irken was silent, simply staring at Lard Nar with no expression. This continued for a few minutes and the Vortian was just about to think his screen froze up when Izam finally snapped. "WHAT!? You mean to tell me I've already received the information I needed!?"
Lard Nar backed away from his screen slightly, raising up his hands in a way to calm down the green alien. "Now Izam, you must calm down!"
"Why is everyone telling me to calm down!? I'm calm!" He grew silent after that. He was huffing for air desperatly, while glaring daggers at nothing in particular. After a moment of this he sighed and visably relaxed. "Sorry, I've just been very on edge lately. More and more news about my arrest have been spreading to this location. I've constantly felt like I'm being watched."
"Do not worry about that Izam. The Resisty is always here to back you up."
Izam didn't respond at first, just stared down at Lard Nar's form. "That's still a stupid name."
The Vortian's eyes widened before he had his own temper tantrum. "I keep telling you guys that it's a stupid name! Why do I always listen to you when you say it isn't!?"
A tall green alien appeared next to Lard Nar. He sheepishly looked at his leader while rubbing the back of his head. "Ah...I don't know."
Izam smirked. "Well then. Since I apparently have my information already, I'll talk to you another time Lard Nar. Farewell."
"Yes, until we meet again Irken Izam. You've been a great help to our group. Thank you and-"
A cone shaped alien suddenly popped up in front of him. He had tears in his eyes, sobbing loudly as he looked at Izam. "We're going to miss you!"
"Hey you get out of here!" Lard Nar demanded, pushing the other alien away.
Izam smiled happily and waved goodbye to the aliens on the screen. "Bye guys. Thank you for your help." With that said he turned off the transmission. He continued to smile warmly before his scowl took over. He swiftly glared at a random direction, hands placed at his hips. "Computer! Where is that information I need!?"
Silence followed before the computer spoke up. "Oh yeah...I forgot about it."
"You are so lucky you are keeping this ship running Computer..." Izam hissed, lekku lowering dangerously.
Suddenly a document popped up on his screen. Izam read over the information quickly, a smile slowly forming back on his face. With a laugh he lowered the document and stared off outside. "TAF, buckle up! We're finally going to be reunited with Zim!"
The little android barely had time to heed his master's warnings as the ship went into hyper drive.
And that was just a little taste on who Izam is. I hope you all enjoyed this and will stick with me as I update this.
Well, until next time! See ya and please review!
