Chapter 1
Green. He was green. His arms, his hands, legs, and face. All green. Dib was right, he did stand out. He had to give him THAT. And, to cover it up he just blamed it on a skin condition. HAH! The humans were stupid. But the humans had something else too. Dib had known it and Zim had felt it but couldn't quite put his clawed finger on it. And he felt this compassion when he looked as his hand.
He slowly curled and twisted his fingers, feeling the way the moved. It pulsated, vibrated, breathed and LIVED. The sinews of fiber moved in a ribbon-like way, It gently flowed causing his wiry muscles to tighten in reaction, in turn moving the very bones of his body. It was an extraordinary even now that he though of it. Almost a miracle. It was an act of life constantly overlooked by his passion to cause death.
Now his compassion tingled in his fingertips crawling up, numbing his arms and Zim hoped his emotions. But no, it had to make him suffer, suffer in the process of realization. The feeling washed over him and now he understood. He now knew why Dib fought him in a loosing battle. A fruitless war with no reward for him. No rewards of power, wealth or recognition. Nothing except love.
Zim was always different from other Irkens. That's why he had been banished to Foodcourtia. That's why he had received Gir, and that's why he was on Earth. Realizing what no Irken had before-love and he was hating it. But it was too late. He had always hated himself. That's why he'd worked so hard to please others, the Tallest.
THE TALLEST!
He had called them, and the armada, to meet him tomorrow 3pm (earth hours) to overtake what remained of Zim's home planet for the last few years. But he couldn't let that happen. He always hated the monkey-scum that inhabited the globe. But as much as he tried to deny, he couldn't know TRUE hate without TRUE love. And he loved himself and all those he shared Earth with.
That's why he killed them. Killed them all.
