15 minutes into the broadcast, Zim and Tak blinked into the U.N, and was greeted immediately by gasps and weapons. A huge bustling of voices started to speak all at once. Tak prepared herself by his side while Zim searched everyone's faces in front of him, and on the screens as well. He appeared calmer then Tak at least. He gently placed a hand on her upper arm before he took a step forward noticing how the guards made a noticeable click on their weapons preparing to fire at him just in case this was a trick. He just watched them with a calm ease about him. He knew the weapons could hurt him, but he wasn't going to come in here with obvious tension and hostility in his body. He didn't know anyone's names here. Maybe he should of, but really he didn't care at the moment. He noticed on the screens were the faces of all the Presidents of all the countries safely tucked away like babes. Per Gaz, even if they are useless, they will treat them as treasures. With her view on politics, he could tell she will make a very interesting Elder.
As someone instructed everyone to calm down, Zim couldn't see him, but with all the confidence he had in his mind and body, he seemed to have stood impossibly taller then his 7'5" frame.
"I am the Almighty Tallest, Zim from the planet Irk. We have existed many years simply taking over many planets by many needs necessary." This caused a natural stir which died down to let him speak more. "I was cloned and as a smeet I was programmed to be an Invader." Seeing their questionable looks when he said the word 'smeet' he added. "Smeet is the same as a baby here on Earth."
"There have been other Tallest, besides myself, who issued the same commands over the decades, but since I have become the Tallest after seeing a horrible injustice happening, I decided that a change is needed. A change for the better."
"What is a Tallest?" Asked a woman of an accent he couldn't quite decipher until she said 'Tallest' so he assumed it was a question regarding that.
"What type of change?" Asked a man with another accent which he was glad he could hear more easily.
"A Tallest is a leader of my race. We also have Elders who help govern and sanction a lot of what happens on my planet. I'm currently taller right now compared to others." Zim replied. "As for the change you shall hear it."
"So you are the Tallest, because you are simply taller then the rest? Sounds absurd." Zim didn't bother to take note of looking at him, he heard Dib's voice in place of his.
Zim smiled at that memory. "Yes, I know, but regardless, it happens." Viewing all the Presidents looks of disbelieve at that, he added. "Makes for an easier election, don't you think, Mr Presidents?" Seeing as they had no sense of humor, he proceeded.
"I apologize for this invasion at the present moment, but I do have a reason for it. For many years, I have been stationed here. Observing. While I am still clueless on some human customs, I have seen something extremely promising in this planet. Although you really need to improve your education program. I noticed the intelligence ratio dropped from a long time ago to now. I'm not insulting you, but being in your school system as a part of my observations, it was a crying shame." Oh that made them all talk amongst themselves. He noticed some faces turning red at that omission.
"I'm really not trying to insult you. I'm really just wanting to help out. The humans we took as slaves are being well treated and fed. I'm sorry that some have unfortunately perished. I really didn't want that."
"The Membranes, with the help of my aid here, have produced weapons that will weaken us. It will show my entire empire that you are allies that are needed to be beside us and not to be invaded. In return, you will receive technology that will aide you. I know you have been busy fighting one another, some of you countries, and I have to say that is entirely as silly as the education program." This seemed to raise the hackles of three particular Presidents. Looking at them, he said very seriously. "You know it has all been nothing but folly, but yet you continue. In this day and age, you all sound like you need to be changed. Don't be smeets, I mean babies, grow up and join together."
"What do you know of any of us? You admitted you are an invader, so what makes you so different?" One of them asked angrily.
"I grew up. I'm 200 years of age, according to my planets logs. On Earth, I am 20. We are pretty far off from your planet so that counts for the age difference thing." He knew that might not mean anything to them, but he was trying to make a point. "So in essence, I had plenty of time to learn. To grow. Thanks to this planet and mostly to be befriended by one particular individual, I learned plenty."
"We have enemies ourselves. Enemies that make us actually look like cuddly creatures compared to them who are bent on nothing but destruction that even have made us cover our eyes and scream."
"How do we know you won't betray us after this so called alliance is met between us?" The U.S President questioned.
"That is a excellent question actually. The answer is, with me, I won't betray you at all. I actually become impressed with allies that are increasingly helpful. I'm grateful to them in fact. I'm pretty loyal when not betrayed by anyone, so if you don't betray me, there is no fear of retaliation." Zim answered proudly. "This soldier I have beside me, we've had our issues in the past, and yes we do have issues amongst one another, we are not perfect."
Him admitting he isn't perfect? That is a huge step for him. Thought both Gaz and Dib in their separate areas, with him in the lab still and her on his base.
"But we finally came together in agreement. Something I'm very grateful to." Zim added.
It seemed that all the Presidents were reading something handed to them at the same time. This made even him laugh inside. Some countries with their differences, but yet the same actions take place near them that had to deal with secrecy and little pieces of papers. The French President was the one who asked the question first.
"Tell us how we will go about with arming ourselves with these weapons. Is this supposed to be in secret? Is there something else you want from all of us?"
He had to admit the accent was nice to listen to. "I am glad you asked these questions. The weapons will be sent to you in secret. Right now it is Tak and I who know about these weapons. The whole of Irk doesn't know what I am doing so this is why it has to be in secret. You are not to broadcast this to anyone in the public about this plan. Before I came here, I did run a scan to see who is a real human and who is fake. We, Irkens, do know how to infiltrate any planet in the guise of the species so we did have to do a complete scan. I will also know if this gets broadcasted now and after. I demand this secrecy since I will be called a traitor to my own race, just like my aide here, and I will have none of that. That whole Area 51 thing really wasn't a great secret after all, so make this secret something that you can be proud of for years to come."
Pride? Does politicians have pride? Gaz quipped as she watched the broadcast signal.
In the back of his mind, he felt Gaz laughing at that last remark, but he had to stroke their egos. "I would love to have you on our side as equals. What do you say?"
There was a lot of talking once again from everyone. It really sounded like they were talking about which toast would taste better, in his opinion. There were signals being placed up in front of him of undecideds. He actually expected that. Looking at the Presidents, it was the U.S one who spoke.
"Please let us confer and we will talk again within the hour. You have our word on this." He spoke seriously.
Nodding his head, he stepped back towards Tak to place a hand on her arm. "I will look forward to what you have to say. Zim out." Blinking out, he went straight to the lab instead.
Putting his hands out to the side, Dib sighed. "Well I guess we have nothing else to do but wait."
Nodding his head in ascension, Zim actually sat down a little tired. "Yep."
Approaching Zim, Membrane looked at the tired alien with a mark of concern. "When was the last time you rested?"
With your daughter in her bed after I almost ripped her clothes off in a fit of passion. Zim replied silently, but instead replied. "I don't require as much rest as humans, but I did rest a while ago." Oh man the days are blending, he thought. All this is tiring him out right now.
"Perhaps, but still just sit there and relax." A gentle placement of his hand on Zim's shoulder, he smiled at the once tiny little alien.
Back at his base, Gaz knew it would be some time before the re-broadcast, so she informed the computer that she needed to go to her home for some things, and will be right back. Blinking to her room, she marked her luck there that she was getting better at this thing, she walked over to her closet to grab a couple of things and tossed them on her bed. She just rather gather a few things at a time then bulk it there and back. It was basically her excuse to come back over here to be away from the insanity.
Walking to her tiny bookcase, she even grabbed a book she loved so much, and placed it on top of her tiny pile. Feeling thirsty, she wandered down the hall quietly, and down the steps. She had to give faith that those morons will back up Zim at least. Yeah sure he invaded us, but he did have a good reason to. Strolling into the kitchen, she stopped instantly when she saw hunched over, pimple looking thing by the table staring at her with sudden interest.
"Hello little one." It said in such a way that it made her skin instantly crawl.
Turning around to run she ran into this laughing leaner looking one, which grabbed her by the side of her arms and lifted her up. "Heh heh here she is."
Struggling and quickly determining their males, she kicked him where it counted. Being dropped on the ground she landed on the ground gracefully enough, and took off upstairs where she left her device. Hearing the first one yell to get her, she concentrated on getting to her room. She heard running behind her and she reached her room in a matter of seconds, closing the door behind her, but before she could lock it her door was kicked in by the skinny one with the pimple looking one behind it. Backing up a little, she screamed, "SECURITY!" Activating her little stuffed animals as they went for Skinny's face. She reached for the remote and almost pressed the button when it was blasted out of her hand. Looking quickly at the blasted device and the creatures that now made short work of her stuffed animals. The skinny one grabbed her and tied her legs and hands up.
"You won't be kicking me again." The laughter clear from its voice. "What now, Blug?"
Walking to her, Blug stroked her hair and cheeks. "What will the Tallest do for you now, little one?"
Glaring at them both, purple flames started to come from her. The skinny one looked casually over at Blug before placing a blindfold on her. Licking the side of her face, the skinny one whispered in her ear before he placed a gag on her. "Oh don't think we don't know about that, pretty one."
Feeling herself being lifted up and carried to who knows where, Gaz actually felt fear creep into her, especially when she felt one of them touch her again. Struggling and trying to fight as best she could, she concentrated all her mind in hopes of either Zim or her own brother, will find her.
Dun dun dun. I know people don't like the damsel in distress kind of thing, I honestly don't either, but I have things on my mind for the next course. Any further questions, ask Zim... That boy just seems to want to control me. ;)
