Chapter One… Transmission from The Massive

Zim, our favorite little green irken, got excited as the words "Incoming Transmission from The Massive" flashed upon his computer screen. He yelled for Gir, his adorable Sir unit, to 'shut up' or the like. He rushed about preparing to show the tallest his latest plan to take over earth and rid himself of his big-headed advisory, Dib. The Tallest appeared on screen and he saluted immediately.

"My Tallest it is good you called Zim actually…" Zim started excitedly.

"Zim! Shut up! We have something to inform you!" They interrupted quickly. "It is highly important to your mission!"

Zim snapped to attention and saluted, "Yes, My Tallest!"

"We no longer wish to hear from you. You were sent to those coordinates to either die, get lost, or to never be heard from again. So you wouldn't hamper Impending Doom 2! Any or all would have been acceptable!" Red practically screamed, obviously having snapped. "YOU! ARE! A! DEFECT! DIE! LIVE ON THAT PLANET! WE DON'T CARE JUST DON'T BOTHER US!"

At that Red panted and Purple looked at Red shocked, "Wow, Red that was harsh."

"He deserved it! He killed the previous Tallest twice in one day," Red yelled. "First Miyuki then Spork who had replaced Miyuki! End the transmission! NOW! His amusement value is depleted!"

Zim stood in shock at the words his Tallest had spoken. The words "Transmission Ended" flashed and yet Zim still did not move. Zim did not move for days if not weeks. Zim wasn't sure how much time had passed. After the sixth straight days of no Zim, Dib decided to pay his nemesis a visit. Dib had purchased a Game Slave 3 extremely early through a secret raffle and was using it to bribe Gaz, Gazlene, into coming along. They walked in to find Zim unmoving covered in a film of dust and filth staring at his computer screen. Gir was out of his dog suit and trying to get Zim to move or do something, something he had been doing off and on for days. Dib immediately pulled out a camera and began taking pictures. Gaz hit him and destroyed the camera.

"OW! What was that for?!"

"Idiot. Something is wrong, obviously. Go ask him," she ordered.

Dib then paid closer attention to his nemesis and approached him slowly. Zim's antennae twitched at Dib's movement. He slowly turned his head to face Dib.

"What Dib-stink? Have you come to call Zim a defect too?"

"Defect?"

"Yes, Zim is a defect. A failure of an irken. Not worthy to be an invader. Sent here to die. Zim is waiting for his Pak to deplete so Zim can die."

Gaz looked at Zim feeling pity then walked forward and gave him a hug much to Dib's annoyance and dismay, "Who told you that you were a defect?"

"… Zim doesn't need your pity! Irk…" he stopped then sighed, "… My Tallest…"

"… Your… Tallest?" Gaz asked softly.

Zim nodded thought a moment then explained Irken society, "Irken society is based on height. The Tallest are the leaders of all of Irk. We currently have two. Red and Purple. They are more of a figure head. The Control Brain has more control than the Tallest do."

"So these Tallest. Called you a defect?"

"Yes…" Zim looked away and covered his antennae. "Computer… play back the transmission."

"Yes, Zim."

The computer played back a copy of the transmission. Once it was over they all stood there… Zim saddened, Gaz pitying Zim, and Dib amazed.

"That is why Zim is waiting for Zim's Pak to deplete."

Gaz hugged Zim again angering Dib who cried out, "GAZ!"

Zim sighed, "Zim's Pak will go offline in a few more hours. Go Dib-stink and… Little-Gaz. Zim will fulfil his Tallest wishes."

Gaz slapped Zim with a loud *SMACK* then yelled, "Idiot! What would dying solve?! Nothing! It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem! You could live! You don't need the Tallest!"

Zim blanched then blushed a darker green as his squeedlyspooch made him feel funny, then he shook it off and thought to himself. 'Zim doesn't need the Tallest. Zim will prove them wrong! Zim will conquer this world.' Or at least Zim thought that he thought it when in reality he said it, and by said it, I mean he yelled it. Dib face palmed as Gaz laughed. Gaz's laughter triggered something in Zim's squeedlyspooch yet again, and he tried to ignore it.

What Gaz, Dib, the Tallest, and Zim didn't know or realize, was that since Zim was a defect he was closer to how Irkens were before the smeeteries. All Irkens were inclined to warfare and violence even before the Paks. Zim really wasn't stupid, like Gaz thought. He just wasn't applying himself properly. He quickly threw out Gaz and Dib… being nicer about it to Gaz, partially out of fear. Zim really just needed to apply himself for himself not for the Tallest. That is why within a month Zim had conquered Earth.

Yeah its kinda rushed. Idk. I was tired. Please review. This is basically just the intro to the world. So yeah.
