Author's Notes: No comment? O.O
Hi guys, I guess I owe a long explanation as to why I haven't updated for like, a year. My parents got divorced, no big deal I guess, and I fell into a strange doomy doomlike state. But I'm done now, and in the mood to finish what I started! So here's the long awaited Chapter 8. And my most humblest apologies.
Notes from the Fans:
Zim's parents are beginning to act quite Inuyasha-and-Kagome-like. Right down to him calling her names just because he's scared she'll get hurt.
"I suppose so. But hey, nobody's complained...yet –shifty eyes-"
This explination of Belua was ok, heh, it ammused me when you wrote the line "I guess they assumed the the taller the better".
"Tall is gewd"

Ch 8 – Pacis Funis Caelum (Pieces Lined Up)
"Lord Shurikan!" A young irken approached the Tallest throne and kneeled, his face perspired with sweat.
"We have lost contact with Invader Zenchi, and the female who accompanies him."
The Irken lifted his gaze for a split second, then quickly cast his eyes back down. A wise voice spoke out to him.
"How long?"
"Sir, we...we lost contact with Invader Zenchi a few weeks ago."
"Why have you not told me sooner?"
"Our radar had kept track of a ship flying toward the same destination, it was heading back here, but then as it arrived...it was an empty ship, with a small device that made our radar track it."
Shurikan breathed deeply, and sighed a strange sigh, that of his old age. He lifted his gaze to the guard.
"I suspect he is in trouble, and requires our assistance. General, gather your finest men, take our best fleet, find Zenchi and return him home."
"Of course your lordship..."
"Zenchi, he is like a son to me, and the best Invader on this planet."
"Sir?"
"Bring him home."
"As you command."
The large red doors shut behind the general, and Shurikan laid his tired hands on his throne's armrest.
"ZENCHI!" A voice cried our playfully with harmonious laughter, Aura turned about and looked up into the eyes of her newest friend.
"You should be working on our ship, not horsing around!"
Zenchi grinned and began tickling her sides. "You've been saying that for the past 3 weeks Aura! But you never really want me to stop."
Aura gave in to a fit of giggles, "HAHA OH STOP IT ALREADY YOU ...YOU...I MEAN IT!"
Zenchi progressed, and Aura soon lost her temper.
"DAMMIT IT ZENCHI! I SAID DESINO!"
Zenchi's hands stopped hesitantly, dropped to his sides and did not move at all.
"What the? I...I can't move my arms!"
Aura sniffed, confused and dazed, "THAT'S RIGHT! YOU DESERVE THAT!"
"Ooooh Master! She freeze your arms! She make em go like this!" Gir chimed happily, and his arms came off his body and fell to the ground with a large thump.
Zenchi tried desperately to set his arms free, but it was like being tied up with chains. He strained, thenrealize that maybe a counter verse would set him free.
"Uh er...INCEDO!"
His arms flew out and he grabbed Aura, pulling her into an embrace.
"I got you now..." he whispered softly
Aura smiled shyly, "You're such an idiot"
He chuckled, his eyes closed and he thought about his dream from a while back, the voice that called out to him and told him it loved him, that voice, Aura's voice. He hadn't told her about that dream, but for the past 3 weeks he and Aura grew closer, but was it enough?
"Aura..."
"What is it Zenchi?"
His lips tightened up and he felt his throat go dry. "How do you feel...about me?"
Aura released from t he hug and stared at him in surprise.
"You're my first real friend Zenchi. That's how I feel."
"I know, but, anything more?"
She smiled thoughtfully, "What do you mean, 'anything more?' "
Zenchi sighed, "I just, I had this dream, this vision! You told me something, and I wonder if it is true."
"Well what did I say?"
Zenchi looked at her, he felt he didn't have the courage to say it, not yet.
"I'll tell you some other time."
He turned and walked away. Aura felt the heat rise in her face.
"YOU IDIOT! WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME NOW?"
He turned., "NOW IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME."
"WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF! WHY CAN'T YOU TRUST ME?"
Zenchi felt his blood boil; he turned fully and started walking toward her, "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A COWARD! I AM THE BEST OF THE BEST, THE ELITE! I AM ZENCHI!"
"YOU'LL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH IF YOU CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE!"
He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up; she coughed and felt his grip tighten. His voice became deep and deadly.
"I AM GOOD ENOUGH, IM GREAT! YOU ARE A FOOL WHO BELIEVES SHE CAN BECOME AN INVADER BUT YOU REALLY CAN'T! AND YOU KNOW WHY?"
She choked, and tried to speak. But he continued.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE A FEMALE WITH DELUSIONAL FANTASIES, TO BECOME AN INVADER YOU MUST SEEK POWER, REVENGE, AND HATE. YOU MUST SPREAD FEAR ALL OVER THE GALAXIES. YOU MUST WANT MORE THAN YOU ARE GIVEN, NOT DREAM A FOOL'S DREAM!"
He screamed in her face then threw her on the ground. She looked up at him full of hate and fear.
"I thought you were my friend...I thought you cared...but all you care about is yourself! You're just-"
"...doing my duty...as an Invader." He finished. His cold stare bore through her soul and sent shivers up her spine.
'You heartless bastard..."
Zenchi felt a pain in his chest, his eyes widened as he saw tears fall from Aura's eyes.
"Aura..."
"GO TO HELL YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!" She turned and ran.
"AURA!"
He started after her, but stopped, knowing it would do no good. He watched her run until he could see no more. He bowed his head and whispered to himself.
"Aura...do you love me?"
A single tear fell.
Shurikan watched from his palace, as ships filled with warriors flew into the blood red sky. He smiled to himself.
"The pieces, are all lining up"
Desino – Stop Hold (Freeze) Deh see no
Incedo – Release (Free) In see do
