Episode 5: Zim's new girlfriend?! Pt. 2

My name is Mikuru Asahina. I have been sent from the distant future to observe Haruhi Suzumiya. So far, short events involving her have left memories, but not any permanent damage to the timeline. But with Zim around, I fear the future to be doomed under his iron fist...

... It has been a week since Tak appeared. I walked up to a weenie-shaped hotdog stand…which had a small service window. The stand itself looked like a big, smilin' weenie with weenies for arms. Primitive, but interesting.

I was about to eat one of the hotdogs when... Zim appeared, running for some reason. then I saw why.

The creature chasing Zim resembled a ham-hock gone muscular, with cow-heads for shoulders, thick, gloved hands of three meaty fingers that had a pig's picture on the front, beady red eyes and fangs…

And, for some COMPLETELY strange reason, two red flags sticking out of it's head with the gold words "HAM" written on them. There was also a band-aid on it's head for another strange reason.

Zim faced down the creature after a long and harrowing chase and took up a fighting position, holding up a large laser. "I'm calling you out…" He growled. "FEAR MY FURY!"

He shot the laser through the air but it went clear over the ham demon's head and sailed into a building…

Zim cursed violently. "Frag!" He swore. He fired off another round. This time it actually hit the monster square in the head and, oddly, some PHOTOS popped out of it's mouth, flying into Zim's face. He looked them over and stuffed them in his pocket just as the beast advanced on him and grabbed him before he could fire off another round. It snatched the laser from his hands and tossed it through the air, then slammed Zim into the ground. "ARGH!"

I looked on... surprised that nothing like this was in the historical records.

The monster then picked him back up again and began crushing him in one of it's gloved hands. But luckily Zim was now close to one of the flags in it's head. He grabbed it and swung hard, and it struck the creature square in the face, making him spit out GIR, drop Zim and roar in pain. The being reeled backwards and landed hard, pushing the flag on it's head clear through it's brain, thus making it explode in a small black mushroom cloud.

GIR, who was now standing on his head, made a "Doo-da-doo" triumphant noise and squeaked happily as Zim dusted himself off, getting back up.

"What a horrible adventure with that Ham Demon! Woo!" He remarked. "But, I've made no progress in figuring out what Tak's plan is. The base is still repairing itself, and the only other person with the facilities to find her is…ERRR…" He grit his teeth. "NO! I won't even consider it!"

"Consiter what, Zim-kun?" I asked.

"Mikuru-san! Oh, nothing."

"It's got to be SOMETHING." and then I gave my 'cute look'.

"Not buying it."

"O.K. I think that Tak is some kind of alien with a grudge against me. I have to stop her before something bad happens."

"... Wow."

Suddenly, a giant robotic dog ran by, grabbing Zim, who screamed.

I just simply said, "WHAT THE?!"

ZIM'S POV

Well, the Cyber-Dog let me go... in front of Tak, wielding a giant gun... aimed at me.

Tak simply said, "You're a tough nut to crack, Zim. I almost thought you'd be in the corner of your base, crying, 'my beautiful base...'"

and I said, in sheer determination, "An Invader NEVER QUITS! This planet is MINE to devastate! and I already promised the moon to GIR."

"Ah well. His loss.", Tak replied. Then she held her gun to my face and said, "See you in the Darkness!"

I was doomed... Suddenly, YUKI appeared out of nowhere, and kicked the gun out of her hands, grabbed it in midair, and blasted Tak into the sky.

"ARRGHH!"

I was speechless, as she threw away the gun and walked away. Could she be a humanoid interface?

I looked at her and said, "What are you?"

Yuki looked at me, and said, "Nagato Yuki."

Then she walked away. I was thinking about what she was. and what she might be...

3 days later...

KYON'S POV

Well, Tak hasn't been in here in three days. I turned to Nagato, and said, "Hey, where's Tak?"

She simply said, "I have no information on her whereabouts."

I looked at Haruhi. She was looking at Zim. I wonder what she's thinking...

HARUHI'S POV

Zim has something to do with Tak's absence. and I'm going to find out... one day...

Meanwhile...

ENFORCER ZAK'S POV

Vez was near the spaceport. Then I nearly caulght him by grabbing him in midair. Nearly. Then he turned to me when I crashed, and yelled, "Zim not hiding from VEZ! Vez will find Zim and make Zim pay for ruining Vez's LIFE!"

I knew that Zim will be paying for whatever he did...

Please R&R! Next, Zim's past is revealed!
