Tak was sitting on a hill on the outskirts of town after sending her coordinates to her new employer. She had gathered what little of her remaining items she had left after Zim flew off with all her stuff. At least she still had Mimi, who was now waiting patiently with her. Despite failing to be a spy on Zim's ship, at least she didn't have to bear with that moronic Irken, the purple freak, the failure of a species with an abnormal head, the pestering robot, the midget slave, and that horribly disgusting, lovesick, monkey ship.
"You know, Mimi, it's times like these where I can finally have some quiet time to think. I can relax, lie down, and think about all those beings that I hate. They piss me off so very much." Mimi just tilted her head and looked at her. Tak took it as a sign of agreement.
A loud noise interrupted the cold silence of the hill; a large rectangular ship with what looks like plane wings descended from the clouds. The force of the winds made by the ship were powerful enough to shave the hairs off a nearby squirrel. Keef would be a happy boy the next day. The ship completed its landing and the doorway opened to reveal...
"I am Lard Nar of The Resisty! I..what, that's it for our big reveal? No flash, no sparkles, there's not even a lot of suspenseful build-up leading to this!"
"WOOO! Go Resisty!" yelled a levitating cone-being.
"No, it's too late Shloonktapooxis, the moment is ruined. Now lets just pick up this agent the Employ-AHH!" Nar had just got a glimpse of the agent he was sent to pick up, needless to say he was not pleased to see an Irken in front of him. "You're the agent we're suppose to pick-up? An Irken?"
"Do you have a problem with that you horned freak?" Tak said.
"What are you doing working for the Employer?"
"The Employer? Is that what we're calling him now?"
"Well, Spleenk suggested the name 'The Shadow Being' but it gave too many of my crewmen nightmares. Myself included. The Employer liked the name."
"I can see you are one of the more powerful of your species."
"Hey, we Vortians are a race of high intelligence! Just look at this ship I made!"
Tak took a closer look at the ship made by the little Vortian. After looking at the shoddy craftsmanship long enough, she noticed some peculiar things about the ship. "This is just a stolen Irken dumpster unit with thrusters and two wings attached to it. The wings aren't even properly attached, they're stapled."
"Well, obviously it takes a genius mind to make something like this capable of intergalactic flight."
"Well it-..I!...You...shut up."
"Just hurry up and get on the ship."
Tak grabbed her things, then she and Mimi walked into the smelly ship. It was a lot roomier inside, mostly due to the fact that there was only one main room. Upon looking at the rest of the members of the Resisty, she was met with a most unpleasant sight causing her to barf a little in her mouth.
"What is it?" asked Nar.
"Never in my lifetime have I seen so many ugly beings together in one room," she said. The was a brief silence in the room that broke after Shloonktapooxis had looked left and right before replying.
"She has a point you know." Immediately, Ixane, the hooded purple alien ran away crying.
"Now look at what you've done!" Nar yelled at Tak, "You made Ixane cry!"
"Do I care?" Tak said, "At least she had enough sense to put a hood to hide her face!"
"You insufferable brat. Like your species is of the fairer kind!"
"Obviously."
The room erupted with noise from the remaining aliens. Some were crying about their ugliness, others vented their anger, Shloonktapooxis was singing a song about rainbows and bunnies. Then, a green blob creature threw up on Tak. She couldn't take it, she wanted out of this ship. She grabbed Mimi and opened her head to bring up a screen with the shadowy figure.
"...And then I said 'this is el punchline, idiota!' Huh, oh, sorry I have another transmission. Si, what do you want?" asked the being on the monitor.
"Sir, please, don't make me get on this ship with these freaks! These ugly, ugly freaks! It's like I'm on some intergalactic hobo train cart! Of all beings, why them?!"
"You interrupted my call to sexy muchachas for this? Do you think I have el tiempo to deal with your complaints? Live with it, Tak."
"...yes sir," Tak spoke in a bitter tone.
"Bueno, now adios, time to see if this next number gets me a muchacha." He hung up.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
"Hey you," it was Nar who had just finished calming his crew down. "Hurry up and get strapped down, we have to scour this planet and gather vital resources for the Employer."
"Gee, how delightful," Tak would have that bitter mood in her for a while. She only took joy out of the hope that Zim was having a worse time than her. The green blob returned and vomited all over Tak again. The chances of Zim being in a worse situation was not very likely.
"AAAAHHHHH-OW-AHHHHH-OW-AHHH!"
"YOU! STUPID! GREEN! ALIEN! FREAK!"
"AHHHH-I'mnotstupid-OW-I'magenius-AHHHHH!" Gaz had been beating Zim up since they left Earth's atmosphere. She did not want to leave Earth, she had no care for aliens or Zim's stupid ideas, plus, there was no pizza on the ship.
Gaz paused in Zim's beating, "Take me back to earth, NOW!"
Zim looked at her with the same frightened look he had when she got revenged for the destruction of her Gameslave. He opened his mouth slowly to reply, "NEEEEEEEVAAAAAARRRRR!"
Gaz tossed Zim aside and walked to the control station. She had dealt with Irken technology before and had shown to be quite adept at using it, for a human. However, this ship was a different matter, she had not seen anything similar to these controls. She decided best to not try anything at the risk of doing something horribly stupid, instead, she walked towards Zim's body.
"Tell me how the ship works, or else."
"I'll never talk." Zim's tenacity had surprised Gaz, he usually gave in when too much pain was involved. He earned a little respect for that, but now she had to hurt him. Hard. Gaz had tied Zim to a slanted board and wrote numbers all over him. On his face, 50, each eye, 40, the body, 30, and each limb, 20. Leading up to him was a ramp with Gaz on the other side with a tied up Skoodge and Gir.
"How did you even think up of this?" Dib asked.
"You'd be surprised at how many creative ways of revenge you can think of when someone steals your tickets at Bloaty's," Gaz replied, "Now, Zim, tell me how to operate this ship."
"Ha," Zim scoffed, "If you think such a simple method of tor-OW" Zim was beamed in the stomach by a rolling Skoodge.
"I'm sorry, sir!" Skoodge said before rolling down a chute leading back to Gaz.
"If you think that's enough to make me ta-" This time Gir had landed in Zim's mouth.
"Hi master! My butt's in your face!" Gir then got up then ran back to Gaz "I'm gonna ride again!"
The process was repeated until Gaz grew fatigued from rolling. She felt her limits but she refused let others see it. "This is your last chance, Zim."
Zim was badly beaten, Dib had kept tally of Gaz's points. She scored 2,380. Zim turned his head weakly towards her and said faintly, "Never."
"FINE! I HAVE VIDEOGAMES TO PLAY ANYWAY!" She threw Gir headfirst into the wooden ramp, causing his head to breach the wood. She stormed off angrily.
"You can have Tak's room," Dib said, "It's the room to the left."
Gaz took her new Gameslave and went into the room. Dib went to untie Zim from the board. Zim stood with a triumphant look.
"Wow, how did you manage to stay conscious?" Dib asked.
"I'll tell you a secret, Dib," Zim said, "I didn't." Zim blacked out and was left lying on the floor.
"My head is in a tree!" Gir said.
