Weehee, first IZ story! :D I decided to start an IZ story today because I was looking up ZATR pics on DA…and also because most ZATR stories I read have both Tak and Zim going waaaay out of character. So, I'm gonna try my hand at it! :3 Constructive criticism is very welcome.

Enjoy!

Doominess: Chapter 1

She hated him.

Clank.

He had ruined her life.

Clank.

She should have been an invader, not him.

Clank.

She wanted him to die.

Clank.

The female irken turned her head irritably to the source of the annoying noise. Much to her displeasure, it was her once-faithful SIR unit, Mimi, dysfunctionally banging its head against a gray-white, crater-indented rock.

She clenched her fists tightly in barely concealed rage. That was his fault, too! Somehow his stupid, malfunctioned SIR unit had hacked into Mimi's system and made her go on a stupid, flailing rampage, which ended in disaster for its mistress's ship. The irken's muscles tensed in fury at the memory. Now they were stuck on a blasted sphere of rock that seemed to orbit the planet Earth.

The angry irken, who was currently worked into a fury, kicked a small rock, sending it flying. She desperately wanted something other than rocksto take out her anger on. But, she realized with a sharp annoyance, that there was probably nothing but rocks on this stupid planet, and it would only end in her physical pain if she tried to inflict damage upon them.

She sighed as she looked at her crippled SIR unit. She would have to fix Mimi sooner or later. Unlike many irken invaders, she had formed a small bond with her little robot, Mimi. She had built Mimi herself out of discarded SIR pieces she had found lying around, and ever since then, they had been through many things together. She wasn't prepared to let Mimi go just yet. The purple-eyed irken scowled at this flaw. Irkens were not supposed to feel friendship, love, or anything relating to that. That was just the way it went.

Suddenly, she remembered something. The emergency pod! She looked around where Mimi was lying and spotted it a little off in the distance. As she hastily walked over to it, she was already thinking of ways she could make it operate as a working ship. She had a special talent with working with machinery, therefore making the crumpled up escape pod into a fully operational ship was a piece of cake for her.

The irken narrowed her eyes in thought. Now that she thought of it, it would be more reasonable to fix Mimi first, so the SIR unit could help with transforming the emergency pod into a ship.

"Mimi!" She called from where she was standing next to the escape pod. "Come over here."

At the sound of its name, Mimi turned its head toward its mistress, its red eyes round, doing nothing other than staring at the irken. She scowled.

"Come here, Mimi." She said in an annoyed tone.

After a moment's hesitation, the robot began to slowly get up. However, in mid-effort, the crippled SIR unit fell to the ground, its red eyes going blank.

The purple-eyed irken sighed. Now it wasn't a choice—she had to fix Mimi before all of the circuits and wires in the SIR unit shut down due to inactivity.

As she withdrew the necessary tools from her pak, she continued to mull over how much she hated him. How he knocked out the power for an entire half of a planet and trapped her inside of a building for a long period of time, making her miss her final invader test. How he acted as if he were better than any living thing in the universe.

His name was Zim.

His name alone sent the female irken into a fury. Every time she thought of that stupid, egotistical excuse for an invader, she angrily thought of how he ruined her chance to be an invader. If you hadn't noticed already, the female irken wasn't one to "forgive and forget", more like the polar opposite. With a clench of her fist, she remembered how Zim had burst into her earth-lair, a giant weenie stand, and stood there and yelled with his stupid determination:

"It's over, Tak!"

She closed her eyes. Enough of these distracting thoughts. She told herself. She knew herself; and how she would probably tear Mimi apart without even meaning to if she got too involved in murderous thoughts.

Focusing intently on fixing her damaged robot, she let any thoughts of Zim slowly fade away in the midst of her repair work.

In about fifteen minute's time, Tak was just making the final adjustment to Mimi's wiring. Just connect these two wires and…there! The last bit of Mimi's repair was finished. As if on cue, the SIR unit's red eyes lit up as it stood. "Mistress Tak?" It asked in its distinctively female voice, which it didn't use often. (A/N: I kind of imagine Mimi's voice like Eve's voice from Wall-E, if that helps your imagination a bit! :3)

Tak smiled slightly. "Mimi." A slight sensation of joy went through the irken's body before she pushed it away. Her expression hardened. "I need you to help me modify this escape pod. I need to make it into a working ship…an easy enough task, but I could use the help. What do you say, Mimi?"

The SIR unit nodded dutifully and raised its left arm in salute…only to realize, its confusion, that it had no left arm. Tak was equally confused, and wondered what could have happened to it until she came to the conclusion that it must have come off in Mimi's rampage of stupidity.

"Hmm…I see you have a dilemma. Can you work with one arm, Mimi?" To this, Mimi scanned her left arm carefully; two loose, retractable wires protruded from the SIR unit's body. Connected at the end of the parallel cables was a thick, metal disk that held three fearsome, metal claws at the flat surface. Narrowing its eyes, Mimi decided that it was fit for handling wires and such. The SIR unit turned back to Tak and nodded.

Tak smiled. "Excellent. Let's get started immediately."

As Tak walked to the crumpled pod with Mimi following close behind, Tak smiled to herself as she fantasized about Zim's horrible doom once she got to that nasty rock of a planet called Earth. It would be great. No, it would be more than great…

It would be doomy.

Yeah…did I mention how proud I am of that last line? *shot*

Okay so…it was gonna be a tiny bit longer, but I wanted to get this chapter out because…

1) I have a hell of a week, starting tomorrow. I'll be working my ass off in drama camp performances from 8:15am to 10:00pm from tomorrow(Wednesday) to Saturday. Happy day.

2) I'm pretty sure some people would kill me if I didn't get this out by today…*coughjordanandalexcough*

I hope you enjoyed! ^.^ I'll try to update on Sunday or Monday if I can!
