Chapter 7
Origins
Zim and Raymond walked in the vast forest covered landscape, many exotic birds, both earth and non earth, flew over head with grace. The sun began to set as they reached a cave. "Where does it lead?" Zim asked but Raymond remained silent as he lit a torch and began the decent into the cave. The passage ways were very dark and deep and were hard to climb without Zim's PAK's climbing equipment. Zim nearly fell down the cavern if not for Raymond who caught him before he slipped. Zim looked down the cavern into some huge chamber. "What is this?" he asked in wonder examining the pictures on the walls. "You'll see." Zim studied the detailed carvings on the wall that seemed to by old in age. On the wall he saw humanoid figures going through some transformation but part of the picture was erased. "Is that a spider attaching itself on that human's back?" Zim asked. Raymond held the torch above Zim. "No, you should find it very familiar." As they walked in through a hallway Zim could make out skeletons on the ground, some were Irken. As they began climbing the stairs Zim looked around to see tall statues of humans around them. Then they reached the top hallway leading to a huge locked door. It stood 15 feet tall and was made of titanium steel. "How are we getting through that?" Zim asked. Raymond started patting the wall tiles till he patted one that opened, inside was a small card. He took it out and inserted the card in the crack in the door. To Zim's amazement the door lit up in a blue light and opened. He was shocked at the number of machines inside. He then saw more carvings of men using the machines. "What is this?" Zim asked. "Human origins," Raymond finally answered ",humans wonder about their origin and now we know. Long ago humans had technology that man would dream of today. They lived peace and happiness with all life, they were separated from the wild life on a stone pillar in this canyon. They lived long and then finally they started making robots with AI units installed in their brains then they made their finest creations, the Control Brains." Zim was shocked, his god was made by humans, he was made by humans "The control brains solved more sophisticated problems that man could solve alone. That's when the control brain made a fabulous invention called the PAK." Zim shuddered as he rubbed the place where the two cords connected into his spine. "Then came the day when he realized he was serving humans rather then them serving him. That's when things went wrong, the PAK's attacked the humans and transformed them. They turned their skin green, eyes became different colors, they lost their hair and grew antenni, and grew sharp teeth. Thus Irkens were born, the Irkens attacked not like the commandos that you a have in the military, but wild savages using weapons from their PAK's. If they didn't had weapons they attacked by biting in the neck. Soon the humans were enslaved and they were forced to make a ship that would be able to transport the brain to another planet. Soon they found Irk, it was a planet like this but now you see it as a planet with no life except for the Irkens that roam the upper levels. But there is the basement level of the planet where rarely no one goes, you can see dead trees and garbage left to rot under the magnificent city. Then the Control Brain reproduced other counter parts to assist it, the testing Brain, the Trial Brain, and the Security Brain. As you know the Trial Brain has been shutdown and hidden away. Then we left a few humans on earth with erased memories on each country. Soon we watched as you battled for pointless sides but we also watched as you made wonderful weapons for us. We soon made other planets with humans but we forgot about earth. Earth was supposed to be recolonized in the 1940s but the Brain's forgot and recolonized the others. Soon the Tallest Red pointed it out and they sent you ,Zim, to test its defensive capabilities. You came back alive and now they will invade." Raymond stopped to catch his breath while Zim thought "Me, Zim, a human once?" Then Raymond continued "That's why the human organs supported you Zim, that's why Gaz is pregnant." Zim stopped and looked at Raymond "Gaz is pregnant from me?" Ray nodded "We scanned her ourselves." Zim felt wobbly and he fell to the ground "Zim!" but he couldn't hear it as he looked over the railing of the hallway and threw up. "My and Gaz…with a baby?" he thought before he passed out.
