Took me a few days but here's the update :3

Disclaimer- I dont own Invader Zim or any of its characters.

"Zim I dont think this will work..." Dib spoke up. He and Zim were sitting in the middle of Dib's room while death rained down from the sky.

"Quiet Dib" Zim growled. He positioned Dib's telescope at a certain angle in the sky, through the window of the bed room. "You fail to realize that Irken technology is far superior to anything they've got in this galaxy."

Dib frowned. "Zim..this meteor shower is unnatural." He said finally, recieving a strange look. "Of course its natural stupid Dib-human. How else would it happen?" Zim replied, folding his arms. But it made him realize...earlier he thought the same thing. It was impossible though.

Dib growled. "You dont understand Zim it just APPEARED out of NOWHERE!" He tried to explain, but his alien..'partner' for the time being seemed uninterested. "Zim! Ive been watching the sky for DAYS I would have known far before it even got here."

Zim meerly sighed roughly, peeking his eye through the scope. "There, ive found the points."

"What are you trying to do anyway?" Dib asked, annoyed that he wasn't really acknowleged.

"A shield." Zim replied. "I need to calculate the right points to set up the activation poles. It will create a shield strong enough to withstand the abuse and advert the meteors away from earth."

Dib looked up and at Zim, slightly confused. "If you had this all planned out, why did you need me?" Dib asked. He eyed Zim suspiciously. "Seems you got it all undercontrol." He looked down at his laptop, a wire connected his computer to the telescope, seeing where Zim had it pointed. "Zim?" He asked when he didnt recieve an answer. Zim sat smirking, while taking down coordinates, acting busy. Dib didnt like that...and it made him nervous. He stood. "Zim! Im not playing with you!"

"Alright, alright" Zim said, standing up a piece of paper in his hand with Irken text written on it. "I need you because you have a most crutial part in my plan to stop this raining DOOM!" He recieved only a strange look from Dib.

"So whats...my 'part' " Dib asked.

"Well DIB if you must know. A shield doesn't appear from just nowhere..just like METEOR SHOWERS do NOT appear from nowhere!" This caused Dib to growl but Zim went on. "Those 'activation poles' I mentioned earlier must be carefully placed in the right spots, or there could be deadly consequences" Zim's eyes narrowed as he said this. "To ensure that they ARE put in the right spot they must be put there by hand." He watched Dib's face to make sure he was understanding..it didn't seem like he was..

"So..you want me to drive your ship while you set it up?" Dib asked hopefully.

This caused Zim to sigh heavily. "No stupid Dib-human. I will be flying the ship while YOU go outside and set the poles EXACTLY where I tell you. Understand?"

"W-what!? You expect me to float around out in space while there's a meteor shower going on!? Are you CRAZY!?" Dib squeeked, but Zim was all too serious.

"If you don't do it this whole planet will perish! You will not know how to pilot my ship and Gir is too stupid for the job..could you imagion if I let /him/.." He didn't even have to finish.

Dib sulked. He knew Zim was right.. It was hard to admit. He went pale...if that were even possible. Goosebumbs covered his arms, feeling a light chill from nowhere.

"Come with me Dib, there is much to do." Zim said, leading himself out of Dib's house. Dib stared at his computer screen one last time before running after him. The image of fireballs stuck in his mind. Once outside, his eyes fell right on the sky. It was night but in certain places there was a frightenting orange glow. There wasn't a need to follow Zim, he knew all too well where the alien's base was.

"So im finally going to get to see 'The Great Zim's' base." Dib said mockingly. The door had opened as Zim approched. "Mm..Gir, remind me to erase Dib's memory after this..ordeal." He said calmly. "Okie dokiiee!" Gir replied, standing next to his master. "Computer, take us down." He commanded.

Dib stood next to Zim as they were taken through the floor. His eyes wide with amazement as he looked around. THIS was his base? He was amazed that Zim has access to all of this technology. Was he really a greater threat then he had ever thought. His awe was interupted when Zim shoved two poles into his arms. Half purple, half red, and about two feet long. Each had a tiny red button.

"All you need to do is put those poles where I tell you and push that button."

Dib nodded. "Of..course.." He said, his mind seemed half somewhere else. The next thing he knew, some kind of suit had been thrown over his head. "Wear that!" He heard Zim shout as he pulled it off his head. He examined it. "It looks rediculous." Dib commented, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well if you'd rather die, then don't put it on."

Dib grumbled, setting the poles on the ground. He threw off his coat, slipping into the strange looking outfit. It was a black full body suit and made of a strange material he had never seen before. On his back was a metal piece that looked as if it were supposed to connect to something. The collar was contractable and fit itself to the perfect size around Dib's neck. That part was metal too with just a single button on it.

"Well im quite suprised you managed to fit your head through that." Zim smirked, earning himself a death glare. "Quickly, come." Zim then said, more serious this time. Dib stood beside Zim on a platform that rose them up where his ship lay waiting for them. Gir jumped inside. "Whee!" He was excited..that is until Zim had to ruin his fun.

"No Gir.. Your not coming this time." Zim said sternly. Gir looked at him, his eyes filled with sadness. "Aw..why not?" He asked. "Because Dib has to sit there" Zim explained but the robot remained sad. "But I wanna gooo master! Let me go pleaase!" Gir pleaded.

"GIR GET OUT!" Zim snapped. Gir climbed out of the ship and ran into the house, tears in his little robot eyes. Zim sighed. "Lets go.." He said calmly. He got into the pilot's seat and Dib got in on the other side, the glass-type covering closed over them and Zim started the alien-vehical, taking off straight into space, maneuvering around falling rocks.

Dib looked out from the front and the side. "It would be suicide for me to go out there" He squeeked. "How do I know your not trying to get rid of me?" He looked at Zim, half believing that he was and half not.

"There are better ways to kill you." Zim replied simply and with a smirk, concentrating on his steering until they broke free of the earth's atmosphere. He made sure they were in a safe spot near the location they were to place one of the poles.

"Are you ready?" Zim asked.

"N-no..not really.." Dib said, his voice trembled.

Zim pressed the button on the collar of Dib's shirt, a pink bubble formed around Dib's head and became invisible. He opened the glass and before Dib realized what was going on he was shoved out of the ship. He screamed at the shock of the initial shove and screamed as he saw a flaming ball flying right at him. The glass closed itself and a metal wire fired from the ship and attached itself to Dib's back pulling him in and out of the path of the meteor. Dib leaned back against the spacecraft, taking deep breaths, his eyes wide.

"You...didn't let me die?" Dib said questioningly. He was really expecting Zim to let him be killed.

"Just put that device in its place!" Zim shouted. "About five feet ahead of you and two feet to your left." He instructed. Dib took a breath and moved forward, in his head he calculated the distance needed. He let go of the pole. It floated near where he had let it go. Zim took him far from the first where they repeated this process with the second. Zim reeled Dib back to the ship and pulled him inside, backing far away.

He watched as his plan was put into action. Electrisity built between the two poles and a large purple shield was projected infront of the earth. Whatever meteors hit into it were reflected and flew back. Dim watched amazed that Zim's plan had worked. He was able to see through the shield and at the earth.

"Hahahaha!" Zim laughed maniacally as if he had done some evil thing. His triumph was cut short when the shields were de-activated and meteors started falling through again. "What.." Zim stared, his alien eyes wide with shock/curiosity...then anger. "WHAT IS GOING ON!" He yelled, slamming his fists onto the control panel.

"THATS IMPOSSIBLE!"
