I do not own Invader Zim okay? I would like to thank all who read and reviewed. Now I am not fast with updating and the fact I cannot get online all the time anymore does not help either. I suggest to all of my fans who do not already have an account here, to get one if you can because I can send you story status sooner and answer all your questions you pose me in your reviews. All you need is an email address. Face it; I am not the author who will post A/N chapters on the story. I HATE that. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

"Battle stations?" Dib asked in shock as he pulled Tib closer to himself. "This can't be happening!"

"Sad to say darling, it is." Tak sighed looking around. She had thought that with their third child on the way, she could give up the warrioress ways she held on to. Tak had hoped that for her children's sake, she could leave all of the fighting and soldering of her Invader training. Why must I always be roped into fights? Last time I was incapacitated. I was out of the way because of Dak and Tib.

"We must be prepared for anything Dib." Pequility said as he motioned to Dib with his willow-like fingers. "You have to admit Dib, Sasorians, while skilled fighters, are not able to defeat all opponents. Plus if Meekrob does declare war on Sasoria, there will be more of them than us." Pequility looked at his sword and sighed. "You see Dib, Planet Irk is the only planet who can effectively go to war with Planet Meekrob."

"How so?" Dib asked as he looked at Dak and Tib with trepidation and worry.

"Because Irk's warrior culture parallels Meekrob's." Tak said with a deep cynical tone. "On Irk, every person is a member of the Army in some way or another. It is the same with Meekrob." Tak took a sip of Chocoberry wine

"Harmace says you shouldn't go too hard on the Chocoberry wine in your state…" Pequility warned.

"I get like this when I am reminded of how Irk really is." Tak snapped and continued. "Meekrob may only use psychic fighting, due to their forms, but Irk has always wanted a fight against them. They are rivals who have gotten on even more sour terms since Invader Tenn was sent to Meekrob in Operation Impending Doom II. Every transmission I intercepted, they used the term, "Sasuke" to mean Irk in codenames. It seems they think Irk is trying to outdo them. Of course, they are but that is what I learned. I figured after Chowfun and Lomein died, Meekrob would take it out on Sasoria. I always thought they would have an ultimatum to Pequility and Harmace to hand us over and in exchange they would leave Sasoria be. I don't think that is the case now."

"Doubt it." Pequility said. "The Grand Ruler wants blood and he wants a lot of it. I can sort of see why though, you don't get spell casters like Lomein every generation."

"Blood for blood and because Sasoria is suspected of harboring the fugitives that caused the deaths of Chowfun and Lomein, they are even angrier." Pequility said.

Dib understood it now; the situation had changed. No longer was it the case that only Dib and Tak were on the Meekrob's hit list, but now Meekrob had their sights on the entire population of the planet of Sasoria, Dak, and Tib specifically in their crosshairs. Dib knew he may be young, but he had to defend his children and keep them from danger. However, part of him was glad he left Earth and he was not going to go back. He had left Earth and his past behind. Dib was mocked, ignored, beaten, and cast aside. The people were money hungry and would do anything for more money and status. Dib hardly ever saw a person care genuinely for another. He also knew that people only cared about the happiness of the wealthy and worshiped those with money like a god. Dib lost all faith in humanity from a young age. He did not want to have to move his children to Earth for an extended period of time because of that. He was not afraid of what his family would say, because he knew that his father and Gaz frankly would not care or notice he was gone. Earth was only to be a last resort if nothing else would work.

"I understand." Dib nodded. "If things get too out of hand, I will send Tak with Dak and Tib to Earth and fight in this war."

"Dib, no." Tak said.

"Someone needs to look after our kids. I wouldn't trust my dad or Gaz to." Dib said.

"Oh, if my examinations of your culture are right, people love to be grandparents more than parents and will do anything for the grandchildren. I believe your father would be good to watch Dak and Tib." Tak said.

"Yes." Pequility nodded. "I think that may be a good idea Tak."

(Page Break to Meekrob.)

The Grand Ruler floated into his palace from the meeting with a pensive yet confused look on his face. He did not know quite what to do. He had no proof that Sasoria had any real involvement with Lomein and Chowfun's death, but he knew Pequility was harboring Dib and Tak and their offspring. In his mind, this was enough to call out for war against Sasoria. However, he did not want to declare war because he knew Harmace was the only one who could effectively treat his frequent fungal infections of his spirit waste extractor. If he declared war, he shuddered at the thought because Harmace could make treatment as easy as sleeping or a torture. Come on Grand Ruler. He thought you did not like Chowfun all that much and some reports claim that Lomein was the one who killed Chowfun. Then, another voice in his head spoke up, a more devious and sinister one, one that was pushing for war between planets in the galaxy spoke up, but Pequility killed Fooyoung. You cannot let that go ignored. Even if it was only in self-defense, he still killed him. A leader, a member of the royal family of Sasoria killed a lowly scout. "Misosoup!" The Grand Ruler called.

"Yes Mi Lord." Misosoup said bowing to the Grand Ruler. "I, Misosoup am here to advise you in any way you may need to be advised. I was trained to give the best advice to the Grand Ruler so Meekrob can prosper!"

"Can the speech. I know it all by now." The Grand Ruler said. "I need your advice"

"Excellent." Misosoup said.

Misosoup was an advisor who wanted Meekrob to take over the Irken Empire and have Meekrob be the top race in the universe, one that was more feared than Irk ever was. He was tired of being belittled by others at Hobo 13 and at conferences with Irk or any other planet like Blorch or any of them. He did not want his people to be belittled because of their spell casting and spiritual abilities. He was tired of being pushed around and he wanted action. Irk would pay, Blorch would pay, the whole universe would pay and he was going to use this opportunity to make them all pay. He knew Sasoria would need allies and if the Irken temptress, as Meekrob called Tak, were living on Sasoria then Irk would ally with them. In addition, after being belittled by the Tallest for the last time, Misosoup knew they would love a chance to destroy Meekrob. Misosoup saw all the pieces for his universal vengeance fall into place and he could use The Grand Ruler to make it all happen.

"Well, you see Misosoup," The Grand Ruler began, "Chowfun-"

"I hate that motherfucking son of a bitch…." Misosoup said as he began to glow red, showing his anger.

"I know you do, especially after he cheated off of you in the academy." The Grand Ruler said with annoyance. He had heard it all so many times.

"I wanted to kill him! Me! Not Lomein or a Sasorian or The Chosen Human or the Irken temptress or anyone else, ME! ME! ME! ME!" Misosoup bellowed.

"I KNOW!" The Grand Ruler yelled, not wanting to hear his rants anymore. "But the problem is we don't have any proof Sasoria was responsible for Chowfun or Lomein's death. In fact, many reports suggest Lomein did a spell to kill Chowfun at the cost of his life. I really do not want to go to war with Sasoria over that. In fact, I am somewhat glad Chowfun is dead. He had too much ambition. I do want them to hand over the Chosen Human and the Irken temptress. I know they are harboring them and training the offspring to fight. I do not want Meekrob power, carried in the Chosen Human's genetic information, to be used in with Irken filth. It is horrible. Irkens are the 'Sasukes' the scum of the universe. I want to go to war with them for that reason alone. However, the queen of Sasoria, Harmace is the only one who can treat my fungal infections with such ease and discretion. Only her husband knows. If we go to war…" The Grand Ruler shuddered. "I would have to endure the shame of the whole universe knowing of it. The Grays are good medics but they are loud mouths. If I hear of one more human reproductive experiment or anal probe from them, I am going to scream!"

"I know, I hate hearing their human abduction stories as well Mi Lord." Misosoup said. "But think of it this way," Misosoup began to explain, "If we go to war and we win, as I am sure we will, Sasoria will have to make good to us and do whatever we say, how we say it. Harmace will still be your healer."

"And if we lose, as instigators, I will either have to go to the Grays or endure Harmace's medical torture." The Grand Ruler said.

"I promise you Mi Lord," Misosoup began, "We will not lose, we hardly ever lose. Did you not say yourself that it was only because of Harmace's healing ability that we did not harm them. I know it is the reason Irk has yet to Invade there."

"But we should take it before Irk does." Misosoup said. "Think of what would happen then, if Irk had control of Harmace's abilities."

"NO!" The Grand Ruler said.

"You know the answer…" Misosoup tempted.

"WAR!" The Grand Ruler said.

"Good." Misosoup said. "I will prepare the troops. We cannot fight them unprepared.

(Page break back to Sasoria)

Harmace had come home from her job as chief of Sasoria's hospitals exhausted. "What a day!" She said as she sat down on the chair next to Pequility. "Anything interesting happen to you honey?" She asked of Pequility.

"Bad news honey," Pequility started. "I think you may have to break down and treat the Tallests."

"WHY?" Harmace bellowed, pulling out her sword, getting ready to use Luna Sasori Hari on Pequility "WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?"

"Nothing!" Pequility yelled. "Only thing is Meekrob wants to declare war on Sasoria and we cannot fight them alone. Tak said it would be best to get Irk on our side so they can fight Meekrob better than we can. Tak said that Irk has a bone to pick with Meekrob too because they never heard back from Invader Tenn in a few years now. Tak said this war would restore their image and they can avenge Tenn. Tak claims she was second best in the academy after her."

"Okay." Harmace smiled. "As long as it is for Sasoria's well being, I will treat them. I was worried there. I thought something you or I did invited them to add Sasoria for Operation Impending Doom II." She said with glee. "I will call the Massive tonight and arrange a meeting in person to form an alliance."

Pequility was taken aback. God, Harmace! You were going to kill me and now you act as if this is the happiest thing you ever heard. I swear honey, you scare me at times. You are an excellent wife, but you get me worried.

So how was chapter 2? Good? Excellent? Bad? Sucky? Lacked action? Made you want Asian food? Let me know in a review. I don't know unless you tell me.
