Reign of Solitary
Chapter 2
"Tak?"
Standing in front of him, on a huge screen, was his least favorite Irken, Tak. She had tried to steal his mission before. What did she want now?
"Hello, Zim." Tak murmured, obviously amused by his reaction. She looked at Zim for a short moment, looking for anything that might threaten her purpose. Nothing.
"Miss me?"
Zim gaped at her. Why was she on the screen? Better question-Why was she in Lard Nar's ship?
After what seemed like forever trying to get Zim to snap out of his trance, Tak's forehead was already bright red from facepalming. Her frustration level was nearing its peak, and she knew it wouldn't be pretty. After a few long strings of incoherent babbling, Zim finally stopped talking and gaped at her again.
Tak raised a nonexistent eyebrow. She exhaled dramatically and began.
"OBVIOUSLY, you're surprised to see me. Well, allow me to explain.
Years ago, when you ejected me into the cold, ruthless blackness of space, I drifted for a while. What was there to do? I couldn't control where I was going. MiMi was all jacked-up. So to keep busy, I thought about my 'mission'. Take your planet? HA. What was I thinking? Why should I focus on a small, invisible planet when I could take over the universe?"
Zim's confusion grew. What was she talking about? Where was this power?
"That's when it hit me. Um…literally. I was in the middle of a thought when a terrible shriek pierced my head, and something metal tore through my ship. That's the last thing I remembered. However, I woke up strapped to a table. I tried to struggle, but I was secured too well. Lard Nar then came in. I was confused…SO confused. He told me that I was on the Resisty's ship. We talked about…eh…anyway, he told me all about the Resisty. 'Of course!' I thought, they had the answer! The answer to all of my life!"
The happiness on Tak's face clearly showed that the answer WAS the solution. The suspense of her story was killing Zim. He was growing ever so impatient with her. "AND…?" he said, his tone trying to make his impatience clear.
She cleared her throat.
"Take over Irk."
Zim froze. IRK? Was she INSANE?
Tak gave one of her insane giggles. "Don't you see, Zim? Irk controls everything! If we could take over Irk, we would rule ALL!"
Zim paused. "You said…we."
Tak smirked. "Ah, yes, to my point.
Zim, with your…destruction skills, we could easily penetrate Irk's outer security within minutes! This could be so easy!"
"How could you betray your own planet? Your own race? You're INSANE, Tak! ZIM SHALL NOT ASSIST SUCH A TRAITOR! Be gone with you!"
With that, Zim shut off the monitor, and started to walk out of the room. He was sure he'd shut the monitor completely off. Maybe it was just in his head. But he heard Tak's voice, disappointment flooding it.
"That's too bad, Zim. Just too bad."
And with that, the power of Zim's base malfunctioned, sending him plummeting into spiraling darkness left with a new fear.
What did she mean?
And…
Was she coming for him?
