Alright chapter two! While I am trying to stay true to the characters. I will repeat that this is an AU. I still don't own the characters or the show... as much as I may wish otherwise... enjoy...


Chapter Two A New Order

Zim walked through the streets of Earth, in particular the town/city he had first landed in. He had made it the capital after he conquered the planet. Not that he ruled the planet, he had no interest in that. He thought as he walked about the day the tallest had told him he was a defect. He paid no mind as the humans showed him respect by bowing or saluting him as they were required to do. His mind wandered to the council that he had set up, once he realized ruling wasn't something he wanted to do.

Zim thought more and more about the Dib-stink and the Dib-sister, Little-Gaz as he called her. He then got it in his mind to go and gloat to Dib once more. Zim tried to remember how long it had been since he had taken over the planet… was it six, seven, eight years? It was nine. He laughed as he remembered the concern the Dib-stink and Dib-sister had shown him the day he decided to take over.

At this point Zim had reached the Membrane household, and he yelled, "Dib-stink! Zim wishes to gloat, yet again! You and your family unit are to have dinner with Zim! So Zim can show you the glory of his house! Feast with the glory that is the Almighty Zim!"

Zim walked back to his newly completed manor house. It was true to Irken style and made Zim feel at home. Zim sighed and did something he had learn to do on this planet, think things through. His mind went over the council and its current elected leader Professor Membrane. The activities of the council occasionally got a checkup from Zim but other than that they were free to do as they pleased. As he thought of this he went and ordered food to be prepared for the Membranes, particularly some of Bloaty's Pizza Hog's pizza, he had this made especially for the Little-Gaz.

Once that was done Zim carefully removed his Pak and began preforming maintenance work on it. Because Zim willingly removed his Pak, Zim didn't suffer any of the usual effects of having the Pak off i.e. dying in ten minutes. Zim stayed like that for a long while. He was like that when the Membranes appeared for dinner. The members of the council were used to Zim inviting them over for dinner to gloat at them. So they showed up at the accepted normal time for dinner with Zim.

Zim was alarmed to find them in his house and yelled for security only to be reminded that he had invited them. Within a few hours Zim and the Membranes had eaten, Zim had mostly eaten sugar since Irkens get their nutrition from sugar. Zim talked with the humans, mostly bragging but asking Professor Membrane about the workings of the council.

This went on for weeks as Zim found himself amused if not, attracted to the human female, Gaz. As time passed Zim showed more favor to the Gaz-human, or the Little-Gaz, as he called her. She became known to the humans as Zim's pet. Which annoyed her at first until she realized it got her games before everyone else. She even got her own gaming arcade in Zim's house because her constant gaming amused him… and it gave Gir something to do, which is what Zim liked to tell himself other than he had begun to fall for the human.

With time Gaz would mind less and less when Zim bothered her, unless of course she was "in the zone." Then she rained doom upon all who bothered her. It was during these months that Zim truly noted the time that had passed. He noticed Gaz had more curves than before and that she had longer hair. What he didn't get was that he was taller. He believed the adults just shrunk. The reason he had grown was the fact that he had consumed more sugar than was the norm for Irkens of his rank. Simply because it wasn't available to them because the Control Brain didn't allow it.

Zim and Gaz started bonding when Zim asked Gaz to teach him how to play the games she was playing. And with time Gaz started to care for Zim. They became friends, though Zim wanted more.

Zim held a banquet with all the members of the council or the tribunal as some of the humans had begun to call it. Once the dinner was over with an alarm started sounding though the house and a large screen descended from a slot in the ceiling and Zim saw the words he thought he would never see again in his life, "Incoming transmission from The Massive." Zim and the others gaped as the Tallest appeared on screen.

"Zim! We have taken note that you have concurred this world! We are taking it for the glory of the Irken Empire!" came Red and Purple's voices simultaneously.

Zim stood there in shock. Then shook his head.

"Absolutely not!" he yelled at them and glowered his eyes taking on a red glow.

Zim slammed a three fingered fist down. His eyes glowed red as he glared at the screen.

"Zim took this planet. It is Zim's. Zim lo…" Zim stopped midsentence surprised at what he was about to say.

Zim looked around, everyone was staring at the Irken. 'Irk. They have noticed,' he thought.

"Zim meant to say Zim has grown fond of this planet… and some of its in habitants. So the Tallest and Irk should leave before Zim has the Professor to activate Zim's defenses." Zim said in an icy tone.

The Tallest were amazed at how Zim had changed during the years he'd been on earth. He seemed… more stable and competent as a being or an invader. They gaped at Zim then started laughing.

Gaz stormed up to the screen, "What the hell is so funny?! You're the assholes that told Zim to kill himself, right?!"

"That would be us, worm-baby."

Zim let out a screech and yelled, "Activate the defenses!"

"You know this will mean war… don't you Zim? You and a single planet versus the Armada."

"I know. But Zim has something better. Zim has the Gaz-human… she is a monster… an amazing monster… but one none the less… and she will doom you. And Zim will win because Zim knows how the Gaz-human works."

Gaz glared at Zim and folded her arms. She knew he was right because she'd protect her game room and her precious pizza. That didn't mean she was happy about it…


Does Gaz doom the Tallest? Is there a war?! Will Zim say what he was going to? I don't know. Tune in to the next chapter to find out.
