hello readers this i thought of this idea after reading a bunch of invader zim fanfics
Gaz pov. Dib and zim took off fighting as soon as dib walked in the green color house bored i decide to wander around his base it looked rather cool last time i was here saving dib from zim. I walked over to one of the elevators by the couch i knew it was there because of dibs rambling. The floor sinks down heading to the next lowest floor. I wandered around the base for a while till i ended up in the room with the large screen. While i was looking around the screen turned on showing that someone was calling by the names of the tallest. I quickly hid behind some machinery wanting to see how they would react to seeing a empty room and not wanting to deal with them. "Hello zim are you here? The computer must be defective also" i heard one of them call out and peek out from behind the machine "huh i guess the defect is not here" i saw the one in purple say
defect? I thought to myself.
The one in red spoke next "darn shame the failure is not there i wanted a good laugh at his 'genius plans'" putting air quotes around genius plans.
The purple one started to laugh "oh my god the last plan won us the prize for universe's biggest blunder"
The red started laughing also "they all do it's the only thing the defect is good for"
The two continued laughing for a while then when they started to settle down the red one said "we should go and talk to the actual invaders now."
The purple one sighed and said "ok but first donuts!"
The screen turned off and i stood there stunned at the revelations i had just witnessed trying to process what i was feeling pity and anger, i walked up to the screen remembering that there was an a.i. Running the base "why did you show me that?" i asked it
The computer lit up again "i don't care very much for zim he is rude and annoying but no one deserves that, he is alone in the universe the only companions he has is gir, minimoose and me, his entire race even celebrated when they sent him off on this death trip."
"Wow" i said "what did zim do to make his race hate him so much? Does it have to do with what they called him before?"
"Slightly" computer responded "he did somethings in the past because of his spastic nature he was originally going to be a brilliant scientist and excellent soldier but something happened in his pak with the processing chip it was a experimental model and after it was given to zim it was never used again there are only two times he can operate at any where near full capacity when he is in a walker class attack drone and when he is experimenting with dna both of which were involved with why his race hates him."
"So why don't they just change the chip?" i asked
"If they tried he would not survive and even if he did the being known as zim would never exist again in this universe because of how integrated the chip is to his personality system" the computer said
"So what did he do anyways?" i ask feeling curious
The computer simulated a chuckle "i was not around when he did these but there is video if you want to see"
My eyes widen at the prospect of seeing the doom a small grin appeared on my face "yes please computer"
"Ok starting playback" the computer said and the screen changed to small green being being taken out of a chamber and a pak installed on him "i love you cold unfeeling robot arm" the small being said
"Computer what are you doing?" i asked
"If you want to understand zim i recommend starting from the beginning don't worry it will only show the important parts" computer explained
I nodded as the screen showed zim again slightly taller than before with a blank face "cadet zim what are you doing?" i heard someone say as a taller irkan appeared on the screen
"Nothing my taller" zim said in a calm tone
"Exactly you should be scrubbing this floor to a shine with your uniform" the taller irkan said
Zim looked down for a moment and had a look of conflict pass on his face before the blank mask was back "yes my tallest" said zim as he took off his top and gazes eyes widened at the amount of scars on the small body
"Oh my god how did he get so many?" i asked feeling the horror i have caused people to be doomed but unless they really deserved it the dooming was never permanent
"The taller irkens thinking it's fun to attack a smaller he almost died eighty seven times before he graduated." computer said as the video continued to the next segment showing zim in a lab "this is one of the reasons why the irkens hate zim" computer said
Zim was working with a blob and then the blob started to grow "success" shouted the zim the blob was growing faster and faster "oh no no no no stop now blobby" zim said panicking the blob started to move towards him zim started backing towards the door locking it behind him "hello zim what are you doing?" a voice said causing him to jump showing two tall irkens
"Oh nothing my tallest" zim said bowing slightly as the door shook behind him
"It does not look like nothing zim" one of them said
"Oh just an experiment gone rogue nothing big my tallest." zim said trying to play it off as the door shuddered again.
"If it is not a big deal then you dont mind if we see it?" the other tallest said
"That… That might not be the best idea my tallest" zim said starting to stammer
"Are you trying to tell a tallest what is best?" one of the tallest said in a threatening manner
Zim gave a small sigh "no my tallest"
"Then open the door" the tallest said together zim unlocked the door and was about to hit the button when the door gave finally knocking zim far down the hall the blob rolled over the tallest as they screamed zim started to run down the hall away from the blob the video started to fast forward here showing the irken army fighting the blob trying to kill it till they finally got it on a ship that was set for a star. I stared at the screen as it was changing then shook myself out of the surprise "so why was he creating the blob thing?" i asked
"He wanted it to be a source of infinite energy and present it as a gift to the tallest" computer said
"So why did it keep growing?" i asked
"The energy had to go somewhere" computer stated
"One more question before the next segment" i said
"Shoot" computer said
"What is the deal with these labels taller and tallest i mean yeah they are taller than zim but why is he calling them those titles?"
"Irken society is based on how tall you are the taller you are the more important the tallest are their leaders they are the tallest of all the irkens." computer explained
"That's stupid" i said
"Yes it is but so is most of the universes leadership policies." computer agreed "here comes the next segment this has the main reason why the irkens hate him and the final trigger that made them send him off"
The screen started the next video it showed zim standing as tall as he can looking at a mech "operation impending doom one how i have waited for this" zim said with a dreamy look on his face. Zim started walking into the mech and went to the captain's chair that's when zim started to attack a planet the video was sped up so it would not take so long when it was over zim was in chains walking towards another ship he had just talked to the two tallest i recognized from the call earlier i couldn't understand what they were saying because it was moving so fast.
"So what happened exactly i saw him decimating a planet and after he was done he was brought to those two dicks from earlier" i said
"He was operating at nearly full capacity what you saw was zim at the height of his glory perhaps the only time he will shine like that" computer said in a monotone voice
"Yeah i saw that and from what i saw he did what invaders are supposed to do" i said feeling confused
"He had not left the planet irk when he started attacking the things he was attacking was his own people and the best part is the only thing that stopped him was the batteries dying he effectively crippled the irken attack plans single handedly" computer said giving a small laugh
"So where did tweedledum and tweedledee send him after that?" i asked getting a bad feeling
"They banished him to the planet foodcourtia after re programming his pak to be serving drone" computer said
"Then how did he get here?"
"He quit his banishment when he had heard of operation impending doom two"
"He quit"
"Yes"
"Zim is nuts"
"The tallest know this thats why they sent him here on a false mission they did not even know if there was a planet here they had planned on him dying in space and when he found this planet they decided to have some fun by not supplying him with the necessary support and substandard equipment the only equipment that was not substandard was me and that's only because the irkens are very proud of their computers" the computer said with some pride
"So they take his failures and broadcast them all over space for their amusement" i asked feeling angry at this
"And the worst part is zim is probably one of the most loyal irkens in the empire most invaders would ask for assistance after this long but he keeps trying because he wants their approval after five years on this planet and he still is trying so hard" computer said with a soft sigh "i think it is time for you to go now though zim and your brother are almost done fighting"
"Can i ask one more question?" i asked
"I believe you just did" computer said with a chuckle "but you can ask another"
"How is zim able to do all this then the inventions, the plans, how can he afford this, because i am assuming they are not providing him any supplies" i said
"That i have to take credit for the only thing the empire provides are parts for me and food that zim can eat." computer said "you see i dabble in stocks and investments zim has no idea thought and i have no plans to tell him"
"So why did you tell me?" i can help but ask
"Someone needed to know the truth after all this time five years is a long time after all for ignorance" computer said before shutting down his screen
I wander back to the elevator and headed up lost in my thoughts when i sat down on the couch i pulled out my gameslave two but i could not get into the game it was driving me nuts that someone could be that loyal and yet treated like that i guess zim and my brother had more in common than they want to admit dib has the same problem but on a lesser scale some of zim's quirks made more sense now like why he acted so proud at aceing something even if it was simple. My train of thought was interrupted when zim and dib crashed through the door the two were battered and bruised zim has more damage though because dib must have grabbed some water and sprayed him because he was still smoking from the water burning him, i felt my gut tighten when dib managed to get zim down and almost out i could still see the fight in his eyes though i decided to step in at this point as dib was ranting about his victory over the alien "come on dib we are leaving now" i said as i pulled him off zim and pulled the irken up now standing between the two i realized that they had grown a lot over the last five years since zim came to earth dib was at 6 feet 2 inches his hair slightly longer but otherwise he looked the same as before, zim was shorter than dib at a 5 feet 11 inches his hair has changed to a more messy style that was slightly longer and his contacts were better quality so they didn't fall out as much i looked down at myself for a moment i had not changed much i was at 5 feet 6 inches and my dress style had not changed a lot i still wore black and my skull necklace "come on dib we are going i am hungry and you promised me bloaties if i came with you we are going now" i finished with a glare halfway opening my eyes to drive the point across dib opened his mouth to try and argue but i grabbed his trench coat and threw him out the hole and turned to zim feeling an urge coming over me i grab the alien and give him a quick hug then went out the hole leaving zim standing there frozen from shock. Dib standing outside the hole frozen also till i walked past him and down the street. Dib caught up with me rather fast and rambled asking me what that was about and i learned anything from my time in the base that could be used to take zim down one and for all i suddenly rounded up on him swiftly turning on my heel "listen to me dib and listen closely… yes i have learned something about zim thats why i gave him the hug but i and not going to tell you"
"What why not?" dib asked
"Because this information is not mine to give out it is very personal information that even zim does not know i wish i didn't know now this kind of knowledge is a burden so if you have ever cared about me never ask me again"
Dib looked stunned for a moment then nodded slowly and said "ok gaz lets hurry to bloties then"
After we got home from bloaties i went up to my room feeling the uforia from being full and as i drifted asleep i thought to myself i think i am going to try and be zim's friend
Zim pov. What was that about the gaz beast suddenly grabbed me and pulled me close. Why do i feel strange, what is going on. "Computer!" i shout "run a scan on me"
A few seconds pass till i hear "scan clear of problems"
"Then what is going on?" i mutter under my breath "i must be just tired it has been a few days since my last pak maintenance that's it yeah" i take a deep breath "gir!" the sir unit came zooming from where ever he was and was in command mode
"Yes my master" gir said
"Fix the wall for me i am going to be doing my maintenance so i can't deal with it" i said walking over to the toilet and heading down to my area for the night as the wires plugged into my pak the last thought that floated through my head was i hope this makes more sense in the morning
i hope i didn't screw this up too much i have never written a story like this one before they might be slightly ooc but i hope it is manily just mellowing them out and not changing them compleatly as always flames are not welcome but critizim is
