Author note time: I know I spell the word laser wrong in that last chapter, but I can't help it. Even when I catch myself writing lazer, I go back and fix it...and I miss ten other lazer mispellings...so I apologize if I spell laser, or any other words wrong, but this is fanfiction, so I'm ok :) and thank you everyone for all your wonderful reviews and for reading my chapters (which only take me about ten to fifteen minutes to write). Glad you enjoy and have a nice day :)

Zim opened his eyes when he heard a strange sound from one of the soldiers. The soldier looked down at his belt and pulled out a strange communicator and lifted it up to his anntenae. His magenta colored eyes flickered back to Zim as he slowly lowered the walkie talkie like devise from his antennae. He placed the devise back on his belt and lifted his hand into the air, silently signaling the others to lower their weapons.

"Hold your fire, The Tallests want him alive," he said. All the Irkens groaned in disappointment and lowered their weapons. Zim lowered his arms and sighed with relief.

Thank you Tallests, Zim thought. It was the only thing that made him like the Tallests again. The soldiers jabbed Zim with the ends of their guns, making him walk forward. Zim rolled his eyes and held up his arms again as he was led down the ventilation system to the Tallests.

Gaz walked along the walls of the ship as if she knew the place by heart. She shot a couple Irken soldiers and made her way up to the control center. She opened a door and got to a balcany looking out over the control center room. In front of it all was a huge glass window, looking out into the beacutiful starry scene of space and the small pink and rainbow sprinkled world once known as Earth. Gaz sighed as she gazed out at the space scene, then lowered her head down to the control center.

The control center was huge. It had about fifty Irkens at their own advanced looking controls and computers, just to keep the ship leval and to stay alive and working. They were too busy pushing buttons and puuling levers to even notice Gaz staring down at them.

Gir came up next to her and stood by her legs. He looked down where Gaz was looking. He clicked his arm back and flexed it to make sure it still worked before looking up at Gaz. "What do we do now?" he asked. In usion, all the Irkens working the ship, turned their heads and looked up at Gaz and Gir. Gaz turned her head and gave Gir a death glare before turning back to the Irkens.

She got up on the balcony ledge and glared down at them. She aimed her gun at them in a threatening manner. "I'm taking over this ship, and if you guys dont do as I ask, you'll find yourself talking to my gun, kapeesh?" she threatened and pulled the trigger. A green laser shot out and nearly hit an Irken. The control panel next to him fizzed and zapped. The Irkens exchanged nervous glances. They were never trained to fight, they were only trained to drive the ship. They turned back up to the female, purple haired human.

"What are your commands?" one of them asked. Gaz carefully lowered her gun as she slowly lifted her head up to the round, pink donut world...

Dib wiped his nose with the back of his hand and found blood on it. Tak noticed this and took a step forward. "You're bleeding," she said and knelt down next to him. Dib moved away from her and got up. "I know," he said and turned his back to her. Tak stared up at Dib, then she slowly got up to her feet. "What's wrong, Dib?" she asked. Dib didnt answer.

Tak took a step forwardand touched his shoulder. "Dib, I-" suddenly, Dib whipped around, startling Tak, and making her fall to the ground. She yelped in pain as her green arm scraped up against the ground. Mimi flickered off her master and turned back into her robot form. Mimi tried helping her master up. Dib loomed over Tak and Mimi. Mimi looked up at Dib and narrowed her glowing red eyes. She raised her claws. Tak touched the top of Mimi. "No, Mimi," she said. Mimi turned her head and lowered her claws.

Tak slowly got up. Suddenly, at lightning speed, Dib took a step forward and kicked Mimi aside. "Mimi!" screamed Tak as she watched her beloved robot smack up against a wall. The robot's eyes went black and fell down a small shute. Tak turned her head back to Dib. Her eyes widened at Dib's cold, dark expression. "How could you..." he growled angrily.

Tak took a couple steps back as Dib approched her. His hands were tightened into fists. His glasses were cracked and were slightly crooked on his face. The red lights flickered; making Dibs face sinister looking. Tak took another step backwards, cradling her arm. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Dib...I-Im sorry...I didnt mean-" she started. Dib punched a wall, interrupting Tak.

His fist went right through it. A couple of static sparks flew out. "I trusted you!" screamed Dib. His eyes were narrowed and filled with hatred. Blood dribbled down his chin. Tak took another step back. Tears came down her eyes. "I-I didnt want them to take you...I wanted you with me-" "Lies!" screamed Dib, interrupting her again.

He pulled his bleeding hand out of the wall, pulling out a couple of wires as well and ripping them out of the wall. The red lights flashed around the two. Tak stopped when her back touched a wall. She was trapped. Dib kept approching her. Fear sliced through Tak. She started to tremble. "Dib...I love you...please believe me," she said, barely a whisper. Dib stopped, inches from her face. He glared down at her. His shoulders stiff.

"How could I?" asked Dib in a deep, low voice. "I trusted you...even when you came back...You were the only person who cared for me...I thought you changed...I thought you were done with all this nonsense...Instead, I find you the ruler of Earth!...I guess I was wrong...You are worse then Zim..." Dib said. Tak gasped. She felt tears come to her eyes at what Dib just said to her.

He was right though., She did try to take over the world, just as what Zim was doing...but she actually succeeded. She actually did it. She didnt care about what Dib thought, she didnt care about all the lives she was destroying. All she thought about was ruling her very own planet...she did it for her...and that's what disgusted Dib the most.

Tak cried and shook her head. "...No...no...no. It's not true...I... p-please believe me. I...I love you. I really do... I have...I have never met anyone as amazing as you...please Dib..." she slowly reached up and clasped his hand in hers. Dib didnt flinch. Tak brushed her blue hair out of her eyes. She carefully went up on her tiptoes and kissed Dib. Her other hand came up and touched Dib's neck' bringing him closer to her. Deepening the kiss. Dib didnt move as Tak closed her eyes and snaked her green fingers through Dib's jet black hair.

Dib resisted the temptation, but then slowly found himself lifting his arms up and resting them around her waist, pulling her forward. He felt his eyes getting heavy as he leaned forward to Tak and sandwiched her between himself and the wall. His fingers slowly went up her back and pressed himself closer to her and found himself pressing his lips into hers.

Tak felt all her fears wash away as she kissed Dib. She has been waiting for this moment for years, and now, nothing was going to stop her from being with her love. She continued to lace her green fingers through his hair and pressed her chest against his. Holding him close in a passionate embrace.

Dib's eyes suddenly flickeredopen and he realized what he was doing. He quickly removed his fingers from Tak's back and moved away from Tak. Tak felt Dib move away from her. Tak opened her eyes in surprise and found herself facing Dib again. Dib norrowed his eyes and looked away from her. "I cant believe I almost fell for your stupid trick..." he muttered angrily.

He turned around. "Go away, Tak, and never show your face around me ever again," he snarled. With that, Dib left Tak alone. Tak fell to her knees and sobbed as she was left with the hissing sounds of the pipes and the flickering red lights...

Zim walked down the long hallway to the room where the Tallests were waiting for him. Zim had his arms bound behind his back as he walked in long strides. The soldiers behind him had to almost run just to keep up with the tall teen alien. They were actually very amazed that Zim has actually grown since the last time they watched him on the screen... Mostly laughed at him and his attempts to take over Earth. They stopped when they got to the door. Zim narrowed his eyes when the Tallests appeared before them.

The soldiers bowed to their leader. Zim didnt flinch. The Tallests noticed this and stared down at Zim. They hadent realized that he really had grown...Red began to feel uneasy about this and exchanged glances with Purple. One of the soldiers nearest to Zim noticed that Zim wasnt bowing and jabed the end of his gun into the back of Zim's legs. Zim screamed in pain and fell forward to his knees. He breathed heavily and glared up at the Tallests. The Tallests looked away from Zim's death glare and over to the shorter guards behind Zim.

"Thank you, now unbound him and leave us," commanded Red. The Irken soldiers obeyed and unbound Zim's wrists. Zim brought his hands forward and rubbed his wrists. The soldiers got up, saluted their Tallests, and left Zim with them. The Tallests looked down at Zim as he got up. Red and Purple took a step aside for Zim to go ahead through into the room. "Come along, Zim," said Purple. Zim balled his hands into fists and began to walk forward.

The Tallests followed in after Zim. Inside the huge room was a special place of escape pods. They were mostly for the Tallests if there was an attack going on and they could escape with their assorted sugery snacks...or to eject a rebel Irken from the Irken race and never be seen again...

Zim stopped and faced the tall Irkens who he once looked up to as his idols. "Why did you do this to me?" he asked through his zipper like teeth. The Tallests exchanged glances. "What?" asked Purple. Zim narrowed his eyes even more. "Why did you do this to me?!" he yelled. The Tallests took a step back from Zim in fear.

"W-we did what was best for y-you, Zim...W-we wanted you to be happy-" "By humiliating me in front of everyone?! By telling me I was doing a good job when really you guys were insulting me behind my back?! What kind of leaders are you if you treat your own humble servant who has looked up to you like as if someone actually cared for you...someone who actually appreciated you for who you are and what you did...no matter how horrible..." Zim's voice began to falter. The Tallests felt guilt stab them.

Zim has looked up to the Tallests like as if they were his parents. He was their role model...now Zim has seen the true side of them and now he doesnt know who to follow anymore. They treated him like a joke, a helpless being who was thought as a humiliation to the Irken race...and they started it.

"Zim...we...we didnt realize..." said Red as he came up to Zim. Zim slapped Red's hand away and turned his back to them. Purple came up next to Red and turned his head to Red, who stared at Zim in hurt. "Zim..." he said, but faltered. Zim lowered his head and raised his shoulders up. It was too late, the damage was done...
