IT'S BEEN A WHILE SENSE I UPDATED THIS ONE, AND I KNOW IM WAY OFF FROM THE STORIES I SAID I WOULD WORK ON, BUT IM GOING TO TRY TO UPDATE ALL MY STORIES THAT ARENT DONE YET EACH WEEK…MAYBE MORE THEN ONE CHAPTER….
THE IDEA FOR THIS STORY WAS GIVEN TO ME BY, 'The ALMIGHTY Invader Zim'. THIS WAS IDEA WAS THOUGHT OF BY HIM, AND HE SUGGESTED IT IN A REVIEW, SO BECAUSE I CANT THINK OF ANYOTHER IDEAS, AND THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA, IM GOING TO GO WITH THIS ONE.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INVADER ZIM
CHAPTER 4
TAK
Red sighed as he walked into his room. It was two days after he and Purple argued, and they hadn't talked to each other after that. What Purple didn't know, was the Red was getting more and more depressed by the day…
Red laid down on his bed, which was way to small for him. Tak even made Red switch from his normal robes, to an old, worn out, standard invaders uniform. It was to tight on him, which made breathing harder, and Tak didn't want Red to hurt her or Purple, she put a shock collar on him, so every time she wanted him to get her something, it would shock him. And every time he tried to 'play dirty' it would shock him even harder.
And it was a tight collar, so swallowing was hard. And it took a while to get used to talking with it. Just as he began to drift off into sleep, the collar shocked him.
"YEOW!" he yelped and fell off his bed, which was also too small, had only a rag for a blanket, and a hard mattress. He walked out of his room, dragging his feet, and yawning.
"Yes, my *yawns* Tallest?" he was tired; Tak had him running all over the Massive for no reason. Again, the collar shocked him.
"OWwW! What did I do?"
the collar shocked him harder, and he sank to his knees. After a few minutes, the shocking eased, and he stood back up.
"You don't question your leader, and you don't yawn in front of me. Your breath smells terrible." Tak growled.
"Sorry." He mumbled. He didn't see Purple anywhere. He guessed he went to bed.
"I want you to tell the smeets a bed-time story. Nothing sad, scary, or stupid." Tallest Tak hissed. Red simply bowed, and walked to the room where the smeets slept. They were all awake, talking and throwing stuff at each other.
"Quiet!" Red ordered, the smeets obeyed. They had grown to respect the former Tallest.
"Tallest Tak wants me to tell you bedtime stories. The only ones I can think of that you guys will understand are stories about me and Pur, and back when Tak was only a soldier with a dream of being an Invader." Red sighed again. It seemed like he sighed all the time now.
"Back when me and Purple where younger, we were Invaders. It was an honor back then, sense so few were chosen to become one. they didn't let just anyone become an Invader like they do today. Tak was just hatched on the day me and Purple got our titles as Invaders. Both of us were shorter back then…about half as tall as Tallest Tak." Red began.
PURPLE'S POV:
Purple walked past the smeet-sleeping chambers, when he heard a raspy voice talking to them. he crept closer to listen.
"Both of us were shorter back then….about half as tall as Tallest Tak. Back then, me and Pur…Purple would get into a lot of truble. I was always the one who talked him into doing all the stupid things we did, like scare the Tallest before Miyuki, which was Tallest Sketch." The voice was Red. And he was talking about what he and Purple used to do back when they were first Invaders.
I didn't think he would remember any of that after Miyuki died….Purple thought.
"Of course, Purple was too scared to jump out in front of the Tallest, so I was alone on that one….the look on Sketch's face was by far the funniest thing I've ever seen." Red chuckled.
"His whole face turned red-" Red was interrupted by one of the smeets.
"The same red as your eyes?" it was a male.
"Yep. The same exact shade. But his eyes were green. And his tallest robes were a matching green. After his leadership, Miyuki became Tallest, and I was only an inch shorter then her. Her robes were the same light blue as her eyes, with sliver mixed in. but sometimes, Miyuki would have black on her uniform. But the story isn't about her." Red's voice was layered with sorrow as he spoke of Miyuki.
"I was always getting into trouble, and once, I made it to prison. That was after I sunk into Sketch's room and drew on his face with a marker when he was sleeping. He was furious. I thought it was funny. And he sent me for a life in prison, but Miyuki and Purple managed to get me out after Sketch died…well, he didn't die but retired." Purple could hear amusement in Red's voice, and heard the smeets laughing.
"I have to say, Pur could be sneaky sometimes, and was a great invader. Of course, I was given more planets then him, because I was better….well, better at strategizing, so I was never caught. Purple just acted stupid so no one would think he could take over the planet, and once he had their trust, he would overpower their leader. Me, I just would just wander around the planet until I found out where the leader lived, barge in, take him prisoner, and then the Armada would come and the planet would be ours." Red sounded blissful as he remembered the past.
"What about when Tallest Tak was a solider?" the little male asked again.
"Oh yeah…Tak was always on the wrong side of the planet. When she was one test away from becoming an invader, back on Devastis, Zim caused a power outage for half the planet! And with Tak's luck, she was on the blackout half. Really, Zim was just trying to get a snack, and he caused a whole half of a planet to shut down. That was when me and Pur where Tallests. And before that, Tak watched Zim's monster-creature-thing ate Miyuki and Spork." Red seemed distant now that he was talking about when him and Purple were the Tallests.
Why would he tell a story about when me and him were Tallests? And why would he explain Miyuki's death. He loved Miyuki….Purple was getting confused.
"Didn't you say during the first story that you and Miyuki were Zim's parents?" the male asked again.
"Oh shut up, Cor! We all know what Reddy said!" a small female voice snapped. Purple laughed at what the little smeet called Red. Reddy….hehehe…..Reddy….he tried not to laugh as he heard Red continue with his story.
"Yes Cor, me and Miyuki were Zim's parents. But he didn't know Miyuki was his mother, and saddly I didn't tell him until five days before Tak became Tallest and killed him. But anyway, Tak had to watch Zim's creature, which he named Squishy, eat Miyuki and Tak. I would say now that it was sorta funny-" Purple heard Red growling in pain, and he cracked the door open to see what was going on. There was a collar on Red that was electrocuting him. the smeets were watching with horror struck faces.
Finally the shocking eased to a stop, leaving Red panting.
"Tak used to claim that Zim ruined her life….and she was also part cleaning squad for planet Dirt. But she escaped, built her own SIR unit, and went to Earth where Zim was. she tried to take his mission, but failed. She really almost won too, but Zim and his malfunctioning SIR unit, Gir, stopped her. Oh, and before all that, Tak was on Irk, and Zim destroied the whole planet. She was one of the only remaining Irkens there was." Red rasped.
No one noticed Purple yet, so the purple eyed Irken stayed and listened as Red told stories of all the good and bad times he had with Purple, and what life was like when Tak was no more then a simple soldier.
"There was once a time when the Irken Flu broke out, and I was infected with it. Purple almost never got sick, not even a fever. I would constantly get sick when I was a smeet. And when the flu hit, me and Pur were Tallests, and we were about to start the great assigning for Impending Doom 1, but we had to postpone it because of the outbreak of the flu. The healers were sure I would die because of how bad I had it, and soon, everyone just gave up on me. Purple was the only one who didn't. he stayed by me, and said that the Massive would be on lockdown until I got better." Red yawned.
He still remembers that? Wow. Purple had forgotten about that.
"Did you get better?" one of the smeets asked. This one had green eyes and was very small, as if he just hatched.
"Well, im here now aren't i? though some times, I wish the healers were right. Its sad, really, that when that flu hit me, how much I said I said I would live, and I wouldn't die. But now, sometimes I wish I did die. With Tak being the Tallest, and Purple always with her, im basically alone. But, I was told not to say any depressing stories, so *yawns* go to bed now. Hopefully you'll all have better lives then mine one day." Red yawned again, before getting up, and Purple closed the door before the former Tallest got to it.
RED'S POV:
Red opened the door, and found Purple standing around outside it.
"What are you doing by the smeet sleeping chambers?" Red growled. Purple turned toward him.
"Oh, nothing. I was just passing by when I heard someone in there and knew it was you so I simply stood out here to wait for you to come out." Purple said slyly.
"Ok, im out of there. So what do you want?" Red yawned again.
"I heard some of the stories you told tonight. I forgot about half of them until you told them to those smeets, and was curious why you chose to say those ones out of all the stories you could've told." Purple stated.
"You wouldn't care! You never did, you jerk!" Red snapped, unable to control himself. Anger blinded him, and he attacked Purple. Something hit Red in the head, and it all went black….
SHAME. DEPRESSION IS BLINDING POOR RED. ALL THE DEPRESSION ID TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE.
PLEASE REVIEW!
