Just throwing it out there so it makes more sense. PECE is pronounced peace

I looked at my reflection once more. I hated the necklace. The pearl white skull suspended in the purple gem. The silver chain that didn't seem to have a latch but was long enough to go over my head. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I hated it. I hated because Dib gave it to me. Because as hell bent as I was to destroying his life he still gave it to me. Dammit Dib.

Bzzt bzzt. I picked up my phone and cussed. I was gonna be late again. I grabbed my backpack and my game slave and headed out the door. No breakfast for me. I hadn't had breakfast since Dib moved out two weeks ago. Shit he hadn't been at school in those weeks either. Well not really. I had seen him a few days ago, and strangely he'd had a floating transmitter like the one dad used follow him only it wasn't dad, it was Zim. He had only showed up during lunch. I didn't try talking to him and he didn't even say hi. He was measuring doors and taking inventory of weird things like the windows and tables. Not uncommon for him but Zim was with him.

I walked down our driveway and onto the sidewalk towards skool. It wasn't far and I didn't mind if I was late. It wasn't like anything happened there or any of the teachers were brave enough to call me out on it. I could barely make out the hi-skool when I heard the screaming. "Oh...Shit"

~zim~

my inventions were working perfect every last one doing exactly as it should. Thousands of robots chased after the confused crowds of humans flowing out of the business center and laboratory. I turned my attention to a filth worm nearby. He would accept the idea. He was already a drone to his higher power in the industry. A cubicle man getting nowhere but promised somewhere. A robot caught up to the suit attired slave man and climbed onto his shoulder. "Stop human. Peace is at hand. Do not fight." the human still freaked out but he stopped running. I knew it. Acceptance. Around the corner a few others had stopped screaming as well.

"Peace is at hand. We are not here to fight. Peace is at hand." the ringing noise of humans simultaneously giving up was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever heard. I watched a car rush towards a intersection with the man behind it too focused on the robot unit inside to see the child. I shook my head. These humans are a danger to themselves without my help. I closed the distance to the girl faster than the speeding car and yanked her by the shirt. The car past an inch away from us to hit a street pole. I didn't see if the man inside was okay. I already knew the robot protected him. The little girl whimpered and I put her down. A woman called her name and she ran terrified. I could only smile. Feared for confusion. Humans are so strange. I took out my communicator and set the signal to Dib.

"Dib...Sector one through six are reacting nicely. Not surprisingly they all looked like they'd been waiting for it to happen anyways. Worthless pile of flesh. Confusion and conformity. How is sector seven and eight doing?" I asked.

~Dib~

I was doing it. After so many years of failures, defeat, no one believing I could amount to anything, and everyone thinking I was too crazy, I was finally doing something. It was like a dream watching all the PECE units calm the panic they arose. Already a good two dozen skool kids were being herded towards town hall. The others being watched by PECE units to make sure they didn't run into each other or traffic. I shook my head watching an elderly woman beating the crap out of a robot while it helped her get off the street. Why on earth did I not try this sooner. Humans needed help but they were too stupid and prideful to ask for it. Best to give them the option that keeps such pride.

Something tugged on my coat and I looked down. "Yes what is it?" the PECE unit held out a piece of purple ribbon and a pair of cracked goggles. I smiled, taking both items and shoving them into my pocket. "Good Job, very good job. Okay go gather the last people and make sure the tethering pods are functioning. The bot saluted and ran off.

"Dib" my ear piece went off.

"yeah?"

"Sector one through six are reacting nicely. Not surprisingly they all looked like they'd been waiting for it to happen anyways. Worthless pile of flesh. Confusion and conformity. How is sector seven and eight doing?" I looked around. Most of the skool was deserted now and only a few of the closest homes were left to be evacuated. God it looked so empty. It was almost saddening. "Dib your brain still there?" Zim asked again, concerned.

I shook my head and laughed to myself. Almost. "Yeah it's there. Sectors seven and eight have been evacuated and are moving now without hesitation. I sent one of the bots to make sure the tethering pods were working but there shouldn't be any problems.

"And the other two?" I smiled and watched a little girl hold the hand of a PECE unit.

"Already back home and the other in level 36. Should I head over?" there was a silence and then Zim gave me the okay. I turned off the ear piece and gave the emptyness a good look over.

"goodbye earth."
