Okay, my sister told me you have to do a 'disclaimer'….I didn't even know what that was for almost three weeks after I wrote my first story….
(Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim. The only characters I own are Nyx and Mira…and there will be two more characters introduced towards the end….there, happy fan fiction?)
Chapter Two: Not Trusted
On Earth, several years have passed since Zim landed on Earth. He has become taller, a result of living on Earth for so long. Dib is now sixteen, and Gaz is now fourteen. There will be many changed Points of View, because I couldn't decide on just one…enjoy!
Zim's POV
Zim was sitting at his desk, balancing a pencil on his lip while Dib tried to convince the guy sitting next to him that Zim was an alien.
Zim was used to this, and so were his classmates. Dib had been trying to expose him for years now, and almost had a few times. Zim wouldn't admit that though.
Stupid big-headed human, Zim thought, If anything, he's making the other worms think he's the alien.
Zim pictured Dib as an Irken, then burst out laughing at the ridiculous image.
Ms. Bitters, who had been transferred to the High Skool, materialized in front of Zim (who dropped his pencil in surprise).
"What are you laughing about, Zim?" she hissed.
Crap, did I really just do that? Zim thought, Well, I better make up an excuse…can't say I'm laughing about Dib being Irken in front of humans.
"Dib's hair." Zim said simply. Dib glared at him.
"We all know Dib has weird hair-"
"Hey!" Dib jutted in
"-but that doesn't mean you can just laugh like a maniac in the middle of my class. It makes you look like an alien or something."
"He is!" Dib yelled. Ms. Bitters ignored him, going back to her lecture about how the economy was so bad that no one in the class would be able to escape being in debt.
Dib rotated to Zim and did the 'I'm watching you' gesture with two fingers.
Zim only needed one to flick him off.
On the way home that day, Zim's mind was busy with thoughts of an odd transmission he'd received from the Tallest earlier that day.
They had told him that another Irken might stop by on Earth, and that he was not to get involved.
As if.
This was his planet to invade, his planet to conquer, his race to enslave, no one else's! If this 'visitor' tried anything like Tak would, there would definitely be some involvement.
Nyx's POV
Nyx was on her way to Earth.
She needed recruits to help her battle The Midnighters*. There was no way she was going to beat them with only the help of Mira.
"Mira, the stone." she said. Mira handed her a white rock with small black and green dots. The black ones were shadows, and the green ones were Shadow Masters. The one that was hers was slightly larger than the other ones, but she didn't think much of it.
Nyx pulled out a cord and a piece of metal from a bag beside her pilot chair. Curious, Mira bounced over and observed.
Nyx tied several complicated knots around the rock, then bent the metal around the cord and stone. The result was an amulet.
"Pull it." Nyx ordered. Mira wasn't sure that was a good idea, but she tugged it as hard as possible anyway.
Nothing happened. No rips, no bends, nothing.
"Oh, that's wicked boss! How'd ya do that?"
"This is Syonian steel. It's completely indestructible." Nyx said with a glimmer of admiration in her eye.
"Wow, it's a good thing we got Syonia to invade!" Mira said, admiring the amulet as well.
Nyx nodded, then turned back to the controls, which were on autopilot.
"Okay Mira, we're now in Earth's atmosphere. Gather information about-"
THUNK!
"Holy Irk, what was that?" Nyx yelled over blaring alarms, which signaled that the ship had a damaged wing.
"I dunno, boss! I'll check!" Mira shouted, also over the alarms, before Nyx opened the windshield and Mira blasted out. She warped into a bird, then raced down and saw something odd. She contacted Nyx through her antennae.
"Boss, there's an Irken shooting chickens at us!"
"What?" Nyx said, her voice coming through a transmitter installed in Mira's head, "Which invader is it?"
Mira swooped over the Irken's head, then ran an identification process. When she got the answer right, she flew back up to the ship, back in and reported to Nyx.
"His name is Zim, and he has a defective SIR with him."
Nyx jolted. She momentarily froze, until she was barked at by Mira.
"Left, left!" Nyx jumped, then steered a hard left, narrowly avoiding a chicken.
Mira let a breath out, then said, "Why'd ya freeze up like that, boss?"
"I had no idea Zim would be here, let alone that he was an invader."
"Ya know 'im?" Mira asked, eyes alert for any more chickens.
"Yeah, I know him. But we're anything but friends."
"Hmm…." Mira muttered, thinking of what could've happened between the two of them.
"Mira." she snapped to attention at Nyx's voice, "Make contact. There's no way we're landing without their permission."
Zim's POV
Zim loaded another chicken into the missile launcher, laughing loudly, amused with himself. He had decided that this Irken was going to do anything but land on Earth.
"GIR! Another chicken!" Zim ordered.
GIR yelled something about how chicken's loved him, then picked up one out of the box of them Zim had bought. But before he could reach out to Zim, though, he froze.
GIR's eyes turned a pinkish color, and he started speaking in an all-to-familiar voice.
"Zim! It's me, Nyx! Stop shooting poultry at us so we can land!"
Zim's jaw dropped. He hadn't heard that voice in ten years, and yet there it was, coming out of GIR's mouth.
"Nyx? Why are you in GIR's head?" he asked, poking GIR curiously.
"I'm not in his head, stupid! I'm in the ship you're shooting at! My SIR is just using his body as a form of communication! Now please, just let us land!"
Zim paused, then turned off the missile launcher.
"Thanks. We'll be landing soon."
GIR's eyes returned to their normal color, and he blinked in surprise.
"There was a lady in my head." he said.
Zim was to busy thinking about what he'd just seen. He hadn't heard from his freinds fiancé in ten years, and now she was landing on his planet for God only knows what reason.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of doom.
Okay, hope ya'll liked that! And yes…Cyrus was Zim's best friend. You shall learn more in chapter three! Read and review! Oh, and Dib's in the next chapter. He gets slammed into a wall by Nyx.
*Midnighters: I didn't like the other thing 'midnight riders', because they don't 'ride' anything, so now Jek's organization is called the Midnighters….again, you'll find out more in chapter three!
