Kim's POV:

Dad stared at me, bewildered. Suddenly, he hugged me securely. I hugged back as tight as my grip allowed. It was the only thing I could do to contain the tears in my eyes. I knew he had just as many questions in his head as I did.

"What are you doing here Kim?"

"I came to ask you why you sent me away… Was all my training inadequate? Am I still unqualified to be a true invader?"

"Of course not! You're superior to the majority of invaders who train for a longer time than you…"

"Then why did you send me to planet Earth with a reject?"

I pointed at Zim. Dad's eye started twitching at the sight of Zim.

"Does that make me a reject too?"

Flo interrupted with a stunned look on her face.

"What is going on?"

"I'll explain the whole thing to you and your sister."

Flo and I looked at each other with their eyes open larger than ever. We followed my dad, well, our dad, into a room. We sat down and waited for him to explain this mess to us.

"Kim, you and Flo aren't just sisters, you guys are twins. As you know, Irkens aren't supposed to have smeets. Only the Tallests and their femates can. But there is a regulation saying we can only have one smeet. If we have more than one, they kill the second born. That's you, Kim... When you were born unexpectedly, I knew they would kill you, so I had to hide you. I secretly trained you to be a tough, brave invader so you would be able to take care of yourself in another planet…"

Zim stood up with arrogance.

"But certainly, my Tallest, you sent her to MY planet because you knew she was in fine hands!"

"Um... No. I sent her there because I knew if you could survive, then Kim could thrive!"

Zim sat down in disappointment. I chuckled to myself. Then we heard a knock on the door.

"It's Lulu!"

"Ah, Luis, you may come in."

The door opened and Luis entered. He was as tall as me, had a purple outfit, and was frowning.

"I told you, call me Lulu."

My dad sighed and shook his head. Lulu looked at me with a warm smile. Then he looked at Flo and his smile turned into a look of uncertainty. Flo stood up and smiled.

"I'm Flo, sweetie! That's my sister…"

"You have a sister? But…"

My dad stood up a grabbed his shoulder.

"I know... I can only have one daughter. Your dad doesn't know about her. You cannot tell anybody, not even your father, about her or else… Understand?"

"Y-yes…"

Suddenly, I realized I left Izy outside.

"I have to get Izy. I left her by the ship."

"I'll go with you. Zim left Gir out there too."

Zim and I went to the ship and saw Izy and Gir tied up. Zim and I ran up to the ship but, before we could get to it, something hit Zim in the back of his head. I turned around to see Zim lying on the ground, unconscious.

"ZIM!"

Before I could get to him, a tall, shadowy figure put something over my face. I tried to struggle, but whatever he had on my face was making me lose consciousness. I looked up to see who the dreadful figure was. I was only able to manage a small gasp right before I was sedated.

Dib's POV:

My eyes shifted nervously around the room. Kim and Zim were taking an awfully long time. I hoped no one would notice I'm not from here…

"I'm going to get Kim… Maybe she's lost…"

Her dad nodded and continued talking to Lulu. When I went back to get it, Izy and Gir were tied up. I untied them as quickly as possible.

"What happened?"

"They took my master..."

"They took Kim?"

"Yeah! I know were she went, follow me!"

I followed Gir and Izy down the hallway until we got to an abnormal looking door. It was rusted and had claw marks on it. The little robots looked petrified.

"Stay here I'll be back..."

I gently opened the door and went in. I peered into the darkness and saw Zim strapped to a chair with a wire coming out of his PAK.

"Zim? What happened?"

"DIB, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME! THEY'RE GOING TO DEACTIVATE ME!"

A malevolent smile spread across my face.

"No..."
