Dib was having a really bad feeling deep inside since he retired into his quarters. Placing some clothes on, he ventured into the hallway finding it strangely quiet. Did Gir fall into recharge mode after his rampant running around, or did Zim get tired of him and force it to happen. Either way, it made him feel unease as he slowly examined every area trying to throw caution at every turn he located. It wasn't until he felt a hand clamp down on his mouth, he knew the problem. They weren't alone.

The hand loosened up on him to slowly snake away. Dib gave Gaz the smallest of looks seeing how extra alert that she was. Did the Computer alert Zim? His sister was relaxed in her movements as they continued along before finally giving him the tiniest of looks that showed that one of their own was above them. He wondered if it was Tenn or Zim.

Zim and her felt it in the air a few hours ago. They left their quarters finding Tenn out of her own looking this way and that. Even though she was in that containment unit, Tenn still had her instincts as both Zim and herself climbed above to find the interloper. When Gaz finally spotted her own brother, she knew he finally received his own clue about how wrong the air felt. While she was use to doing jobs on her own, she now had to rely on three others.

"How many do you think there are?" Dib whispered into Gaz's ear.

Gaz seriously wasn't use to others as she worked unless she was with a group of professionals like her last job they pulled. They were trained to handle this stuff, and as smart as Dib is, he wasn't trained. "Don't know and the Computer never alerted us so he is either offline or these people are really good at what they know. Professionals."

Dib decided to be quiet as they cautiously moved around till Gaz indicated that they should separate for now to draw them out. Gaz did look to her brothers retreating back hoping he will be alright as she sensed Zim not too far up from her. She knew him far too well now.

Callous eyes examined the areas in which they were in finding Dib leaving Gaz behind. Knowing that there were three beings on this station that knew how to handle this situation, the individual went to follow, Dib. Time to play while the others will soon be occupied.


Zim hated how the air was much more familiar than before. It wasn't the fact he was on the space station, it felt like he knew who was in his own vicinity prompting him to stop moving, and listen more intently. He heard a gurgling. Whoever this may be didn't feed themselves as he listened to the same sound again. Bringing out a gun, Zim shot it hitting his target before a loud thud was heard below. Guess the idiot was blind to laser blast. Slowly he made his way down.


Tenn didn't feel too lucky herself at the feeling of someone whipping her very hard across the side of her body. Trying to fight back the urge to make a sound, she failed when it struck at her antenna. Now that hurt. Sucking in air through her clenched teeth, Tenn found herself in a sudden struggle against a male. They have cloaking technology too. Hitting them on the back jolted their own unit to fail just to bring her face to face with her attacker.

"You?" Tenn couldn't believe her eyes at the sight of the male in front of her.

"Me." He said easily as he issued out his weapon.


Dib knew he shouldn't of walked into this one room since there was only place to leave, but he knew the reason for him being that as he heard the door open. He heard the footsteps enter. Felt the heavy air of hatred suddenly envelop him. Turning slowly around he faced her. He was unsurprised to see her. "Tak." It was so calmly said. "Not surprised to see you again."

Tak looked at the human up and down. "You've grown taller. I guess you look good, but I wouldn't care since I was sent here to retrieve you."

"What of the others?" Dib stood there unmoving.

"There are plans for them. I won't divulge in them except one has to die immediately." Tak smiled wickedly at him as she strolled up near him. "How resourceful are you still, Dib? I do know you have been taken out of fighting Zim for a long time now. Tell me if you'll allow me to play with you."

"A long time ago, yes, but now not so much. I have other interests now." Watching a pak leg extend quickly out to lash at him, Dib let it get close to him before grabbing at it and stomping it down fast to the ground jerking her. Seeing the other ones lash out, Dib moved forward just to ram her in the stomach with the side of his body knocking her down.

Tak hit the ground hard surprised she didn't think fast enough. Head jerking up, she hissed harshly at him. "You hit a female? This isn't you."

Dib scanned her before sniffing the air. "Pity I don't see one in front of me."

Angry at the insult, Tak stood up to attack him again. "You insult me?"

Ducking away, Dib kicked her in the side. "Yes I dare. Seriously, Tak! I thought you were better at this like you once boasted."

"Impudent human!" She screamed out running to attack him.


Zim watched the uncloaked huddle thing on the ground, he sneered down at it wondering what got into him to do this. "Why Skoodge? How many other Irkens are involved in this?"

Skoodge got on his feet slowly while examining his own body. "You want to know the number? Not many. Why am I doing this? Being ousted is a pain while the food is not so much of one."

Seeing how pudgy he still looked from the last time he saw him, Zim almost shook his head. "Why and why me being involved? Why wasn't I even told about this? I'm Irken too!"

Skoodge studied his frustrated face. "You were a failure to our race. So was Tak, but she is far more useful to them in this state. Though their plans for all of you are quite clear, his plans for the Membrane's children are much clearer."

He swore to protect Gaz and Dib to her. "Membrane is the mastermind?"

Skoodge laughed at that question. "He wishes."

"Then who?"

Skoodge considered him for a while as a very uncharacteristic sneer slid on his face making his features contort almost strangely. "I once considered you my friend till you betrayed me. Don't you feel at least guilty for sacrificing me to the Hogulus?"

Zim stood there in silence as he looked this way and that before scratching his backside to finally say, "Eh? Did you say something?"

Releasing a small sigh, Skoodge thought to rephase his question. "The Hogulus. Hobo 13. You sacrificed me to the Hogulus to save your own butt?"

Drifting off again to now consider his question, Zim slowly started to chuckle while slowly placing his hand on his slim stomach as he began to laugh harder almost doubling over. Skoodge watched in silence as the insult continued. Bringing himself up to his full height, Zim wiped a stray tear from his eye. "Oh yeah! Oh good times. Good times." Re-considering his now former friend, Zim asked. "So what's the problem?"

Growling, Skoodge had to think of their time schedule before they had to depart. "You know what, screw this."

Quirking his eyebrow ridge up in the air quickly, Zim became serious once more. "You know what, you're right. Less talkie and more action."

"Agreed." Getting nailed in the head, Skoodge yelled out as he went charging at Zim.

Zim examined Skoodge feeling like that the way he was charging at him almost appeared like a shorter pudgier version of Sizz-Lor. Shrugging, they both engaged in sending blows to the others bodies.


In the area she was at previously when she was playing a joke on Zim, Gaz stayed above watching someone uncloak themselves the moment they came into the room. It was either a ploy for them to flush her out, or that particular cloaking device will have a particular interference from the wiring in this room. Either way, they aren't to be trusted.

She studied them as they explored down there before their head tilted up to look above. She couldn't have the same fun she did with Zim, or could she? Seeing the hood come down, it was one of the cleaners. This one really enjoyed making others suffer in slow agonizing deaths.

"Angel of Mercy. I know you're in here. Come out, come out, where ever you are." He lilted out.

Gaz hated cute and she knew what a sick mind this one had. She was sweet compared to him. This made her almost laugh as she stayed where she was considering her next move.


Tenn should of trained with Zim instead of Dib as she ducked, twisted, and attacked back unhappy she was becoming with how slow she was getting with her pak legs. Cursing the fact that some of the stuff she once had in her pak was now gone, she needed to rely more on her mind then ever before.

"That containment unit they had you in slowed you down, Tenn. Or was it Meekrob. Oh what a failure." He taunted as he produced a laser hatchet to swing at her.

Dodging that one before turning herself to grab the handle, she wrangled that away. "Seriously just shut the fuck up." She spat out as she posed at the ready.


Receiving a kick in the stomach, Dib fell back against the wall glaring at Tak. "Either you'll be killing me or taking me with you. Two choices of why you are here, Tak. What of the others?"

"I'm taking you with me, but I did promise myself that I'll be playing with you a lot." Tak whipped out a pak leg to slash towards him finding it grabbed harshly to pull her towards him. Elated, she let him almost appearing enthralled by this action.

Dib spotted her face curious. "You want to play with me. How do you really want to play with me?"

"That cleaner of theirs is sick in the head and I normally love it, but I wouldn't mind another of a different standing to play with." Standing close to him, Tak enjoyed the scent he was now blessed with. "Wanna have a little fun?"

Taking a quick scan of her from head to toe, Dib smiled while he tone lowered. "Actually yes. I've been wanting this for a long time, Tak."

Thrilled, Tak took a step forward to bring him down to her level till he punched her square in the face. Stumbling back, it only served to thrill her as she stood there admiring the human before her. "That was... Nice."

She is sick. Dib smiled. "I'll let you really have fun with me if you tell me what you want with all of us. I only want some extra curricular activity that will keep a smile on my face."

"You swear it?"

"I swear. You know how long I desired you." Dib made sure to scan her much slower this time letting a smile crawl on his face. "I want a real female for once."

Tak took in his pheromones that was in the air considering his words. "Zim will take Tenn's place in the containment unit. We still need someone to help the network out. A central processor if you will."

Dib shrugged. "As if he matters."

Tak smiled. "Tenn has been far too compromised now. She will suffer."

Dib smirked. "She is nothing compared to you." He did another scan making sure to hum his approval.

Approaching again, Tak was soaking in the surroundings before pressing her body against him. "I'm glad you approve."

Moving his head down, Dib went to her neck to nibble at it. "Always. I hope you have long on this station so we can have some true fun."

Bringing him down to the ground, Tak thought how stupid she was being as she allowed this mere human to cover her with his body. "We have another hour at least."

Moving to remove her uniform, Dib needed to replace Tak's face with Tenn's. "Plenty of time. I just wanted more. Can we have more time later?"

Feeling her skin being brushed against by the feel of his fingers, Tak moaned out. "Later we can."

"Anything else I should know?" He had to make a show of undoing his pants hoping to have her reveal what they planned with Gaz. With him.

Observing him unfastening his pants, Tak panted out. "Your sister will be brainwashed. She is far too valuable to them still."

Meaning he'll be brainwashed as well. His father was much too interested in what he built more than him being a father to them. "I love you, Tak. I know you hate that, but I do."

Watching him lower himself down back to her, Tak accepted him till everything went dark. Releasing his hands from both sides of her face, Dib watched her eyes close after he knocked her hard into the ground. Standing up, Dib couldn't believe she not only wanted that from him, but fell for such an act. Zipping up his pants, he left the room leaving a naked Tak behind. He needed to find the others.
