I don't….. Awwww you get the idea

Chowfun and Lomein were anxiously awaiting the 7 months to pass before they thought to attack the Sasorians who were protecting Dib and Tak from them. Once the parents were taken care of they would handle the children to a way they saw fitting. The fact that the Meekrob Empire was one of the biggest after the Irken Empire, often go them into power struggles between the two. For years the Meekrob and Irken Empires would be at war and try to take the other's empires. Recently before Operation Impending Doom II the Tallests decided to take "ally and neutral" planets as well as the enemy planets for their own control. When the planets for the Invasion was decided on, the Tallest and the generals decided to take planets like Meekrob that were allies or on a truce accord with the Irkens.

This was the reason the Meekrob chose Dib to be the one that could defeat the Irkens. One of the Meekrob spies watching out on the Great Assigning was taking note of who was to Invade which planet. Fooyoung, one of their spies, told Lomein of Zim's fake mission. He took it to be a real mission and needed Lomein to warn the Grand Emperor of Meekrob. At first he was brushed off due to incomptices and mistakes but the mole they had confirmed the suspicions. Fooyoung was overzealous and they figured that by giving him the task of following Zim would get them out of their hair. Fooyoung was sent as a Meekrob spy after Zim. It was while watching Zim that they found out about Dib. In a report Fooyoung filed Chowfun noticed that Dib met the qualifications that Lomein needed to cast the spell to give him the gift to fight the Irkens.

While Dib was just a pawn for the Meekrob to defeat the Irkens, he also feared their wrath. Tak was now in as much and maybe more danger than he was. She was Irken and romantically involved with him. That meant big trouble for them both. Even if Tak was never involved with Dib, she would still be in mortal danger for the Meekrob. As Dib thought about this Pequility came in as he did every day in the early evening. He had taken a liking to Dib and Tak and admired the way they were handling the gravity of the situation they were in and Tak's, what he called it only once, "tolerance and acceptance of lesser races." He only said it once because it caused Tak to beat him hard for that comment. To her, Dib had the intelligence of a lot of the Irkens.

"Hello love birds." Pequility said in his usual friendly and yet sometimes annoying way. "How are you two today?"

"I'm just fine except for the smeet growing in me." Tak said as she sipped a soda like she did more often due to her pregnancy. "Dib thinks that the baby has my fight though"

"How so?" Pequility asked as he sat down. "I mean how can you tell?"

"Well when I felt Tak's baby bump, the little thing kicked pretty darn hard." Dib said. You just felt 'the little thing' kick me. Try carrying that thing. Tak thought as Dib said that. "Thanks again for taking us in. I don't know of many people that would.

"Well on Sasoria helping others is a way of life. We help the innocent and needy but we do make enemies this way, and even though we are peaceful we can squash them like a bug as your people say Dib." Pequility stated.

Dib then looked at Tak and remembered that Irkens didn't reproduce like humans. "I never asked but how did you end up pregnant besides the obvious you slept with me. Irkens can have sex like humans but reproduction has to be a little different."

Tak sipped more of the Strocoberrite Refersca, a Sasorian soda made from the Strocoberrite berry that tasted like a fresh sweet strawberry dipped in dark chocolate. "Irkens can reproduce a lot like humans but few possess the desire to do so. This can be due to the pheromone blockers within our Paks. Some like mine I guess or how Zim's was painfully obvious doesn't work as well as the Empire would want them to. I think that the main reason I even slept with Dib in the first place was he was the one I thought worthy of my affection. Most other Irkens do not feel this way due to most of their arrogance and their own stupidity. Dib actually cared and was smart."

"Wow. Most Irkens see any race except their own as inferior." Pequility said as he started to run his willow branch like fingers through his wisteria flower hair. "I hate the annual wilting of Sasorian hair"

"What's up with your hair? You're dropping wisteria petals all over the ground." Dib asked.

"Sasorian's hair starts its wilt in the fall so that the spring will bring a new bouquet of rebirth all over the planet." Pequility said.

"Is the whole planet littered with wisteria flowers?" Dib asked

"DIB YOU DOLT!" Tak said smacking him. "The females have cherry blossoms for their hair! Anyway back to the conversation, Irkens do have emotions that most are masked by the Pak's controlling. Some Paks malfunction and some Irkens have stronger wills than most. When I got pregnant, it was because I was one of the few Irkens that could love and it enabled receptors for reproduction to happen when genetic material was received. Our smeet is growing in me surrounded by a special protective fluid."

Dib then looked away and motioned he was going out for a walk. He often walked along by the river when he needed to think about things. Tak can look after herself and she seems to be able to help me raise our baby in a proper manner. Dib thought as he looked across the river, picked up a stone and tried to skip it across the river even though he never really could. The Meekrob are after us too. I know they are. Just because we're on Sasoria doesn't mean they'll quit hunting us down until we're dead. He then sat down on a large heart shaped stone nearby. At least Sasoria seemed like a perfect place to raise a child; it was peaceful, clean and hospitable. A wilted wisteria flower floated by and Dib immediately thought of Pequility, who did more for him and Tak than anyone ever did before in their lives. "I have to do something nice for him, real nice. I have never been this happy in my life" Dib smiled as he looked up at Sasoria's sun.

Meanwhile across the river about a few miles away in an abandoned field, Chowfun and Lomein were awaiting the birth of Dib and Tak's child. Lomein was starting to question more and more the Meekrob's intentions on using Dib to try to defeat the Irkens. "Chowfun do you think the Tallest really wanted Earth? How can we determine if Fooyoung's information was reliable if he was given a dishonored discharge from the stealth forces?" Lomein asked the pouted, "That and life on Sasoria bores me."



"Lomein, so what if it bores you? We have a mission and the Grand Emperor told us to carry it out to the end. If he believed Fooyoung then there is no doubt we did the right thing. What we should have done is shut off Dib's human pheromones and just enough testosterone to lessen his physical lustrous desires. Did you know the spell for that?" Chowfun said seriously.

"No." Lomein lied. Frankly he was tired of this all and just wanted to go back home to Meekrob. If Chowfun knew he knew the spell that he was talking about then he would be forced onto using it on Dib.

"Stop your foolishness and pay attention Lomein. I have a plan." Chowfun said as he smirked an evil smirk.

"What is it my lord?" Lomein asked with a puzzled look on his face but yet had an idea what Chowfun would say.

"Very simple. I can't believe we didn't think of it sooner!" Chowfun yelled in triumph. You mean you didn't think of it sooner. Lomein thought at this. He's lost it. This has driven him into a mania.

"Well what is it?" Lomein asked..

"Simple. Sasorians are known to be peaceful people who avoid war if it at all possible. They would rather negotiate than fight. So I have this idea that we should kidnap the leader Pequility of the Chief Diplomats. Then we can negotiate for the handing over of the human and the Irken temptress. All we have to do is make it seem favorable to the Sasorians to do so." Chowfun laughed.

"But sir, when I was doing reconocance, I found that Sasorians would rather take on the Meekrob rather than the Irkens." Lomein said trying to reason with Chowfun. "Wouldn't capturing Pequility be some what of…how should I say this… suicide?"

"Quit being foolish. Sasorians can't defend themselves at all." Chowfun laughed.

"If that is the case then why was Sasoria never on the lists for Operation Impending Doom I or Operation Impending Doom II?" Lomein said under his breath.

Tak was in the house with Pequility showing him some of her fighting skills that she picked up while trying to get revenge on Zim. "Okay Pequility I need to teach you a few things." Tak said as she held the same death ray she was going to use on Zim. "This is the most lethal Irken Death Ray but I made a few adjustment s to it to be able to shoot energy beings as well as physical corporal bodies as well. I want you to get acquainted with it Pequility." Tak said with a smirk on her face.

"Now Madam Tak, I appreciate your offer but please don't think us Sasorians can't fight. I wanted to show you this little baby." Pequility said as he pulled a sword with hair-splitting sharpness made with a titanium alloy from the sheath. "This is the Sanctuary Sword handed down in my family for generations. Whenever Sasoria was threatened, this old thing was pulled out and it always brought great fortune to this planet."

"Sure it is a deadly lethal instrument to enemies who have physical bodies but the Meekrob aren't!" Tak said shoving the sword back into Pequility's hands.

"Oh you have yet to see the Luna Susareu Technique. Dib please generate a ball of energy with your Meekrob ummm…..gift….curse…..whatever, the Meekrob energy you possess." Pequility asked.

"Okay." Dib said as he conjured up the energy.

"Luna Sasori Hari!" Pequility chanted as the sword glowed a bright green and sliced the energy in half and it disappeared.

"Wow." Dib said as Tak went, "Wow…ow," as the baby kicked at the same time.

"Yeah. Told you that we Sasorians weren't pushovers. When push comes to shove and we need to, we will annihilate any threat we face." Pequility smirked.

Dib smiled but was still a little easy inside. This was dangerous and could be rather stupid if it put Tak into danger. "The Meekrob are dangerous. Tak and I were lucky to get away. It was just a fluke, that's all!"

Tak widened her eyes at the way Dib said that comment and gave him a deadly look. Dib is being a coward right now. "Dib! You are being rather cowardly here! Is this the Dib I fell in love with? A coward? I don't think you believe in yourself and if you don't think you can, I will defeat the Meekrob all by myself!"

"Tak! That's suicide! And what about our child? I don't want either you or our child to get hurt or killed! I am not going to let that happen!" Dib yelled.

"You let me destroy Zim by myself!" Tak yelled back.

"Because Zim is a moron! The Meekrob aren't. This isn't like Zim at all." Dib yelled back wanting to talk Tak into sense and keep her safe.

Pequility showed himself out and snuck out quietly. Something just didn't feel right in the air. Nothing was ever as quiet as it was right now. He held up the sword as he walked along. "Luna Sasori Hari!" He yelled and a Meekrob scout summoned by Chowfun flew out. "Arrrrggh!" Pequility yelled as he swung and the scout's energy was neutralized. That was just a scout. Hopefully the Meekrob get the idea of what they're in for
