Chapter 1: Same as Usual...
Planet Earth, in an unknown city located in the United States, lies the same Irken that nearly destroyed his homeworld. He has made little to no progress whatsoever on his plans for world domination because either it was foiled by his own faults mostly or likely it was the Dib or, "Dib-worm" as he called him. Dib is a human boy whose head is about as big as his belief in the paranormal is the only one who sees Zim for what he really is and will stop at nothing to destroy him, no matter what it takes. And today, it was one of those days.
November 12th, 20XX. 8:00PM
It was a gloomy yet stormy night, Zim had just left McMeaties with the discovery the Burgerlord had these strange circular meaty objects that could protect him from the horrors of the planet's climate. Mostly from those horrid little vermins known as...germs. Zim was walking down the same old gray sidewalk that led him to the cul-de-sac of where his beloved base has been established. He had somehow managed to upgrade his disguise chamber to give him a more realistic look, not that anyone really took suspicion to his appearance because mostly everyone at Skool and in public could care less. Zim had now lost his pickle green skin and had atoned a white color, his hair now formed in a rough Elvish style fashion. He no longer was equipped with his invader uniform for it was replaced with a ruby faded long-sleeved shirt with a singular pink stripe with the Irken insignia stitched into the center. In addition, Zim wore plain dark jeans with a backpack and uniform boots that were reminiscent of his old enemy Tak's disguise. It seemed to Zim all was going smoothly to plan, until he heard the one voice shouting behind one the many houses in the neighborhood. It was the Dib.
"Don't think you can hide from me alien scum, a new disguise can't fool me!" Dib shouted as he jumped from the shadows. He hated to admit it, but Dib wasn't wrong. He was the only one that knew him for who he actually is and what his real intentions were. Regardless if he had a new disguise or not.
Zim turned around replied with a bit of grudge in his voice, "Even still with that big-head of yours, you can still see right through me Dib-stink."
"What do you expect, I've been watching you since the day you landed on Earth and there's nothing else I want to do but to expose the world for who you are behind that disguise of yours." Dib said with immense determination radiating from within him.
"You're prideful speech means no fear to Zim, but I can say this to you as a fact Dib." He stated. "No matter what you do and throw at me, you still cannot defeat the almighty intellect and power that is Zi-"
As if a bullet from a gun was shot, a water balloon was aimed right for the Irken's head. Zim couldn't have time to react and dodge it for it was something out of the blue he didn't see coming. The water balloon hit dead onto his head with a crashing splash as the water fastly dripping down, burning his skin like a marshmallow over a campfire. The pain took a minute to register as Zim then literally screamed "Bloody Murder" which reverberated throughout the entire neighborhood. Zim held the side of his face that was burnt the most as he steadily got up from the ground just enough time to see Dib ready to fire another one. Apparently, Dib had gotten around to fix his old water balloon launcher that was thought to be lost and swept away by the water the time Dib found out Zim's vulnerability to water. This led to Zim and Dib having a showdown that ultimately triggered a shockwave across the city upon impact, flooding the entire area as a result all thanks to Zim's Orbital Water Balloon.
"What's the matter," Dib questioned sarcastically, looking down at the scum of the Irken Empire, "Scared of water, spaceboy?!"
Zim said nothing as he booked it down the sidewalk. Dib, being the stubborn paranormal investigator he is, chased him. Water balloons where being shot at all directions around Zim with Dib laughing maniacally behind him. All he thought was getting back to the base as soon as he can and up his defenses. After about two minutes of running of what seemed to Zim like a half hour, he'd finally got to his base with Dib catching up not too far behind and bursted through his door like an aggravated bull,
"Computer, activate defense protocol quickly, it's the Dib-human again!" The computer, being its dull and boring self replied with a simple, "Uh, ok.".
Outside, Dib was about to approach Zim's front yard when just in the nick of time, the lawn gnomes stationed by his two oddly-proportioned windows activated. Dib screeched to a halt as he was carried off the ground by the lawn gnomes and thrown out onto the cold and damp concrete. Dib groaned as he slowly got back onto his feet and looked back at Zim's base with an ever menacing face screamed,
"This isn't the last time you've seen me you lizard, until I rid the world of your existence, I'll just keep coming back again harder and harder until you fall on your knees begging for mercy!" Dib looked back and ran in the opposite direction back to his house.
Back in the base, Zim just gave out possibly one of the biggest sighs of relief anybody would hear, "Whew, thank you Computer for your assistance, if it hadn't been for you, the Almighty Zim wouldn't stand before you." Zim thanked.
"Uh yeah, sure." The computer responded with a hint of cringe.
"Anyways Computer, take me to the main lab, I must update my Tallest on my progress of the glorious plans to enslave the human race." Zim said with a gleeful grin.
Author's Note:
Hmm, Just a bit more annoying and hellbent on capturing Zim.
P.S: I have no hate on the Dibster.
