Dib was sleeping soundly in his bed, mumbling nonsense as he tossed and turned. A flash of white light outside his window made him stir. He opened his eyes a slit to see two bright, floating lights above his head. He grabbed for his glasses and blinked, the lights took a more solid form, they were two, bright, floating aliens with faint, wispy tendrils. Dib sat up in his bed with a jolt.
"What-who are you?" Dib demanded, wrapping himself in his blankets for cover. Suddenly the two aliens transformed into a pair of shoes. A memory twinged in the back of Dib's mind.
"We are beings of pure energy," They responded in unison. "This is merely a form your human brain can understand."
"Woh woh woh. Wait. I've seen this before." Dib dropped the blankets, confused.
"We… are not sure what you are talking about."
"You… You're aliens. And you're fighting with the Irken Empire. Right?"
"Well… Yes." The aliens agreed, awkwardly. "We are the Meekrob, we have come-."
"Okay. Yeah. I've definitely seen this before." Dib jumped out of bed, heading for the door. "I'm not falling for this again."
Suddenly the shoes appeared in front of him, blocking the door.
"Not so fast, Dib. We are in need of your assistance. The universe is in danger."
"That's what the other Meekrob said! The fake ones!" Dib said, angrily. "They said they were fighting the Irkens on their planet, and they gave me powers to fight them on mine."
"We have no knowledge of such an encounter. But what you say is true. The Irken Empire has expanded rapidly since the demise of Tallests Red and Purple."
"Red and Purple… are dead?" Dib's stomach dropped, he had a bad feeling about this. "So, who's Tallest now?"
"Former Tallests Red and Purple were overthrown by your adversary, Tallest Zim."
"Tallest… Zim?" Dib's vision went blurry for a second, he almost lost his balance. Zim was now the ruler of the most powerful Empire in the galaxy. He didn't know what he would have done when he left Earth, but he didn't think Zim would turn on his leaders. It's barely been a few months since he left with Gaz. Dib gulped. What would become of Earth with Zim in control?
"Okay… You've got my attention. What do you want from me?"
End?
