Disclaimer I don't own Invader Zim in any capacity. We've been that so many times that I shouldn't have to tell you but I still for obvious reasons.

Hope you all are having a great day today. Figured I put this here to let in some much needed positivity in to make things better for those who need it.


There are many different classes of irken, to much and we'd be here forever if we named them all. You have your basic irken soldier which don't usually have that much to do unlike other soldier types.

Hey if there isn't something they can do than there is no need to ruin anything. You have spec ops soldiers who were trained to handle some of the most delicate missions that require those with a strong and smart mind.

Guess that instantly disqualifies me as my mind is the farthest thing from strong. I would joke further but that would be beating a dead horse at this point.

It also takes strength to do some of there missions. Some of it is straight out of an action movie. To be honest it's a miracle that they've lived through some of these missions.

Nearly all of them are fearless and don't back down from any challenge The Tallest ask of them to do. There are still some cowards though..not many, but still there in the crowd of bravery.

Table drones..I hate mentioning them because it boggles my mind that an irken or anybody would be relegated to that. Plus the pay is absolutely terrible that you might as well not even pay them at all.

Though none of them are as valued or sought after as the invader. An elite amongst other soldiers these irkens were the most respected soldiers in the armada.

Thier goal consisted of sneaking aboard another planet masquerading as whatever species lives there. Some even get above first class treatment unlike other irkens.

While on a mission they mainly choose to conquer it from within and either destroy the planet all together. Or chose to keep it to turn whoever lives there as slaves and or prisoners.

Invaders were the second most superior and most well respected irkens. Second cause the invaders are still behind The Tallest for obvious reasons that we all should know.

One of the best to ever do thier job as an invader was Larb. You know the irken who turned pale when he was almost sent to a planet filled with carnivorous rats.

Which is a reasonable reaction because have you seen those things. I can't honestly think anybody would be stupid to want to be near those things.

Larb who the structure of this story is based on is an irken who knows how to do what he needs to do. Not much happened for Larb after he conquered Vort.

You know if you consider conquering several other planets after that as not much. He's also gained the label as one of the best invaders of all time from The Tallest.

Ignorant and egotistical he most definitely is, but he is still a invader who can finish thier mission mostly fearless. Larb knew how to finish his mission without struggle.

He was given a direct mission from The Tallest that could cause long term issues for the future of The Irken Armada. That wouldn't be an issue for Larb as he would get this done with ease.

Without further delay let us get started like always feel free to let us know what you think. You know how I am, I have to ask in case the one time I choose not to I get criticized for it.


Larb was in his ship traveling quite fast while going over his mission details. He didn't even get a proper chance to prepare for this mission. The Tallest randomly decided to give him this mission without even calling him ahead of time.

Granite he could most definitely could handle it without any major issue. It seemed weird though giving his high profile status amongst the rest of his peers.

The Tallest usually don't act this when giving an invader or any irken their mission details. Could this be there way of seeing if he could handle a mission with little info being given to him.

Surely they still had to of known who he was right? Not like it'd be easy to forget him seeing all the progress he's made for their goal of universal conquest.

After all the praise and rewards that he was given there is no way that they'd forget. Ignoring his doubts Learn continued heading to his destination.

His mission details were even weirder that he thought they'd be. Something seemed wrong or at best really confusing. The mission briefing read as followed.

"Greetings Invader Larb, we would like to thank you once again for all the work you've done for us. "That being said you deserve a break to rest off any fatigue you might have.

"Though that will have to wait as there is a situation that requires your attention. There is a group of prisoners who are trying to take over a prison on Driftus.

"Given your past with using your strength to finish your missions. "Though we shouldn't forget your willingness to also deceive others to get the job done.

"Besides that we wish you the best of luck on your mission. "Also remember that failure is not tolerated even for an irken that's earned our upmost respect like you.

Signed:Tallest Red and Tallest Purple.


Larb was thinking to himself that part of this was a prank that they were doing to him. The people of Driftus especially those in prison were always compliant.

Were any of these prisoners unaware of what be done to them if they get caught. Larb tried to focus to much on that or he would end up getting distracted from his goal.

Instead he focused on landing his ship and beginning his mission. The sooner he could get this done the sooner he could get an explanation for the secrecy about it.

He lands his ship and exits it and looks around the hangar for a couple of minutes. This continued until two random people ran up to him with excitement on their faces.

They both looked purple with yellow eyes and black antennas Both of them also had low end blue cloth outfits that were slighty torn on the arm and chest areas.

"We're sorry to be intruding in your business, but are you by any chance Invader Larb? "Yes cause the two of us were given orders to aid in him stopping some prisoners.

"That would be me. Larb says as hesitant as one can sound. He could sense that these two were idiots. "Greetings Invader Larb or do we call you Larb for short?

"Yes because we need to know for what a solider of your status is comfortable with. "Larb is fine. "Ok that's good. "Agreed that'll make things much easier.

"My name is Qobb and the person to my right is my brother Baget. "You can say the two of us are like twins with how we act sometimes. "He's right we have a tendency to be like that.

"Besides that I have to say it's great to see we found you. Larb disliked these two but realized these two were probably sent by The Tallest to aid in his mission.

Granite part of Larb thought that these two weren't being honest at all with him. "Is there a reason you two are even here, this area is reserved for irkens only.

He wasn't wrong there were guards as well as a tall metal/electric fence around the hangar. Questioning them with this knowledge would hopefully give Larb the answers he wanted.

"Last I checked neither of you two are irken. "Sorry about the confusion it's that we were given access to this place to look for you.. "Really? "Yes in fact some elite guard gave us permission.

"Really and who exactly is this elite guard? "He didn't say. "Believe us we tried asking but he threatened to use those fancy taser things. "Let's be real those things hurt like a lot.

"That's the point of them idiot. "They are built like that to stop prison escapes. "Fair point but do they have to make them hurt that bad. Qobb looks confused as he asked that question.

"Cause that's cruel if you ask me. "Yes. "Seems overkill to be honest. "I know. "ENOUGH. Both of them stop talking and stand firm in silence and let Larb continue speaking.

"You two going to continue wasting my time or are the two of you heading to the prison with me. "Right right sorry about that. "Yes we're sorry for that. They both say together in a nervous tone again.

"Please tell me you two aren't always like this. "No in fact we can be smart it's that we uh. "What he's trying to say is that we were nervous being in the presence of the irken who conquered Vort.

"Doesn't excuse you two wasting my time, let's get going. "Yes Larb follow us and you'll be there in no time. "Hopefully if you two don't get any stupider than you already are.

"Actually we're pretty intelligent. "He's right like we said it's probably us being nervous seeing you in person. "You make that seem like you've been stalking me.

"Uh well we weren't looking all over this planet to find you. "That and we most definitely aren't doing this for any other reason beside stopping those prisoners.

"What did you say? "Look let's not focus on that. "He's right. "Ugh ok then let's get going before I lose my mind more than I already have. They leave the hangar and begin walking towards thier destination.

Larb was stuck with these two semi intelligent individuals, hopefully not for long. Who knows they could end up working together after this though that seems unlikely.

This could potentially be bad for them especially for Larb. Seeing as this is the first time he's been around these two and that's not likely to change anytime soon.

In the meantime Larb will be wishing he was with literally with anybody smarter than these two. He wanted to be done so he'd never have to see these two again


It's been an hour after they left the hangar and nothing much changed. Except Larb's disliking of the two Driftians he was with had grown by..a lot.

He had always dealt with people who were far more intelligent than these two. Realizing that he had to deal with these two for some time didn't make it any better.

Blorch had smarter people living there which was one of many thoughts on his mind. Though he had a feeling that would get far worse the more he was with them.

They were in some kind of remote area that seemed way to dangerous for these two to be in. For Larb this was merely another day for him giving that he's had to be at dangerous locations on other planets that were like this.

So naturally he wasn't afraid at the danger he could be in as he's seen worse or at least in his eyes seen worse. He kept a close eye on the brothers while standing close behind them.

While out and about they did nothing much to be excited about. Larb though was starting to lose his patience after having spent nearly two hours with these two semi intelligent 'friends'.

"Ok we've been at this for an hour. "Do you two even know where your going? Larb says getting slightly frustrated at Qobb. "Trust us we know exactly where we're going. "Do you?

"Yes we know. "Then how much longer til we're there? "Shouldn't be to much longer. Larb ignores that and turns to see that Baget messing around with some kind of tool.

He without hesitation begins to question what exactly he was doing in hopes that he would give an answer. "Do you mind telling how you have that? "WHAT, uh what do you mean?

Do you care to give me the reason for you having that? "Having what? "That tool. "I don't have anything. "Your holding an irken manufactured tool. "What this?

"Yes. "Right, you see the irken that sent us gave us this to call if anything went wrong. "That's not possible no one is allowed to have that unless their irken.

"Plus any irken caught giving that type of stuff to people could get them arrested and thier rank took away from them. "What I am trying to say is you have a really good reason for having that.

"Look I promise you that he gave us this. "I don't believe that for a second. "Ok that's fine, but know that we are being honest with you. "Isn't that right?

"Yeah it is. "He was such a nice guy. "Such a shame what happened to him though. "What do you mean by that? "What? "What happened to the irken that sent you two?

"Nothing. "Really, you said that it's a shame what happened to him. Qobb was motioning his hands to to try and get his brother to change the topic but was failing to do so.

"Did you two do anything to him? "Cause you do realize the punishment for attacking an irken. "Of course we do. "Then either tell me or I will make sure that it happens to you both.

"Wha..what no we don't want that. "Then quit dodging the question and answer me. "Fine what had happened is that he was you know lectured about speaking with us.

Larb stared at Baget as if he was about force an answer out of him one way or another. He got into his face and kept looking at him with a death stare.

Qobb quickly got in Larb's way to prevent anything bad from starting. "Listen Larb we don't need to start anything ok. "Look let's calm down and keep going.

"Ok then give it to me. "Say what? "I said give it to me and then we can go. After a brief hesitation and a glance at each other they reluctantly give the tool to Larb.

When he went to check to see who exactly Baget was speaking to when he noticed that it had something dry on it. Upon looking at what it could be he looked back up at Qobb.

"Is everything ok? Qobb said after a nervous laugh seeing that whatever on it wasn't good. To be fair though he was right to feel that way as the tool had dry irken blood on it.

Larb without hesitation proceeds to grab Qobb by his shirt and threatened him. "Whoa hey relax. "QUIET! "Ok. "You better have quite the excuse for irken blood being on this tool.

"You noticed that? "How could I not. "I don't know it's that I thought he cleaned it up. "Hey don't bring me into this. "What do you mean, your as guilty as me.

"Ok look when we were told to bring him here it was so we could you know avenge the losses of the past as he said. "You idiot he's right there. Qobb says in a panicked tone at his brother.

"I mean he's already found out. Larb punches Qobb in the chest sending him to one knee. "Hey man what are you doing? "Look there's no need for this.

"Be honest with me then. "Tell me what irken blood is doing on this tool. "Listen Larb we can explain, but you need to wait for us to you know explain it.

Baget went to calm Larb down but was shoved back one of his pak legs. He flew back into a rock that nearly knocked him out. "Don't worry, I think the rock broke my fall.

Larb went back to Qobb who started getting nervous and scared of what would end up happening to him. "Wha..what did you do to my brother? Qobb says is distraught at what Larb did.

"If you don't start talking then far worse things will happen to you. "Ok fine to be honest with you we were asked to find and lure you into a trap.

"What type of trap? "He didn't tell us all we know is that is that he wanted you. "Who's he? Larb suddenly was knocked to his knees before being hit again which knocked him out.

This made him let go of Qobb who ran over to his brother. The person that knocked out Larb was some kind of soldier that motions towards more soldiers in the distance.

It wasn't long before we see exactly who was being called over. Qobb looked up to see a vortian in black armor that covered his chest, hands and legs.

He was also surrounded by about eleven other soldier looking individuals who were armed. The vortian then looks up and speaks to Qobb looking proud with what he's done.

"You two have done your part nicely. "I guess I was wrong to doubt you two. The vortian said with an evil look on his face. "What about my brother is he going to be ok?

"He will be fine. "You on the other hand for bringing him to us get to choose your reward. We hear him ask Qobb while still looking at Larb with a death stare of his own.

"Ok uh what is it? "Do you want to take the monies that you two requested or do you and your brother want to join our ranks and have the privilege of fighting against people like him.

"Do take the time as this is a big decision to make. After a minute of waiting Qobb answers while still being nervous. "We'll choose the monies.

"Of course you two would pick that. "You hand him and his brother the case and one of the first aid kits. "Wait is there a reason we need the first aid if you said he'd be fine?

Qobb is then brought to the ground after being shot in the leg by the vortian. As he's on the ground in pain one of the other soldier type people threw a case full of monies and the first aid kit to Baget.

"Be sure not to spend it all in one place. "In the meantime grab him and get going. The vortian and the soldiers take Larb and walk off into the distance leaving the brothers to watch in fear as they leave.


Larb wakes up to see himself in a barely lit room. It was difficult to see anything, no exit or windows.. When he tried to move he was unable to because he was tied to a chair.

The chair was made out of some metal that was far from fun to be in. Whoever tied him here also had the fun idea to tape his mouth shut.

All of a sudden the room gets dimly lit up by some lights next to Larb. He then then hears a figure getting closer to the tied up invader. It was of no one's shock besides Larb that it was the armored vortian.

He stared at Larb with a look of pure hatred in his eyes. This continued for about a few more seconds before he ripped the tape off his mouth.

Larb winced at the pain and for good reason before demanding answers from the vortian. "Who are you? He gets no answer but still gets a death stare like the one he gave to Qobb.

"Have issues hearing what I said or something? Larb says annoyed at the lack of an answer. "Or is it that even when you have me tied up your still to afraid to explain what you've done.

Larb would regret those insults as he gets punched in the face by the vortian. "If this is your way of trying to break me then it isn't working.

The vortian responds to Larb and his comments while bringing over a cart of tools. "Believe me this is far from how i'd break you. "No I have far better ideas for that.

"Who even are you? "You don't remember me? "No that's kinda the reason I asked. "Perhaps this will refresh your memory. The vortian takes out a photo of him alongside two other vortians and Larb.

Larb looked at the photo before looking back at the vortian and responding. "Qaif? "I thought the cleanup crew brought you to Devastis. Larb says confused after seeing the photo of him and Qaro together.

"What you mean those death squads that killed those who didn't surrender. "You were right to think that. "I guess I was wrong to think you would put this aside.

"Trust me I had quite the motivation to try and escape after what you did. "Clearly giving the fact that you went through the trouble of finding and tying me up.

"After what you did I would expect you to know that this would be the case. "No this sort of thing doesn't really as often as you think. Larb answers in a calmer tone than Qaif.

Larb is punched in the face again after the comments he made which didn't make his situation any better. "Did you go through all the trouble to find me and do this? "Like I said after what you did you deserve far worse.

"I trusted you..we all did hoping that you would finally mend the issues between Irk and Vort. "No instead you chose to lie and RUIN COUNTLESS LIFES.

"I showed you my family and treated you like family. "Turns out that meant nothing to you as my family is currently in prison..PRISON BECAUSE OF YOU.

"After what you did I'll make sure that people get what they want and that is to avenge them. "Killing me isn't going to achieve that. "Correct though who said that I'd kill you.

"What do you mean? "You gave me and my fellow vortians a slow painful stab in the back. "No your going to feel every last second of pain you caused us.

Qaif goes and grabs small taser looking tool from the cart before looking back over at the chair. He points the tool at Larb who goes to brace for what he is going to do.

Even though he braced for it, that didn't stop it from sending an excruciating amount of pain from going through his body. Larb was twitching slightly from the pain that he endured.

Not long after that Qaif places the tool on Larb's right eye. This broke the irken as he let out a pain filled scream as it felt like his eyes were being ripped out. "You notice the pain don't you.

"Great because what you feel is how every last inhabitant on Vort feels about being your slaves. "You want to know the best part, I am far from done with you.

"I want you to suffer the long painful fate you gave us. Qaif then motions over to two soldiers who greet the vortain while holding thier weapons.

"Lock him up and keep him there until after we get rid of our unwanted guests. Both soldiers nod thier heads before heading over to the chair and grab Larb.

"Be sure to patch up his wound to ensure he stays alive for as long as possible. The soldiers nod thier heads again before leaving the room with Larb.


For Larb being some vortians prisoner wasn't at all what he wanted. He had tried to escape but because he was numb from the pain from Qaif that he couldn't escape.

Eventually they threw him in a small black padded cell. The soldiers walked off and left Larb to wait for Qaif to continue torturing him for what he did to Vort and his family..

They did in fact patch Larb up before this all had happened. After leaving the room they put him in the care of a doctor to make sure he was fine.

They had to aim thier guns at him to make sure that he didn't try to escape or do anything stupid. Larb would've no doubt tried to escape if they weren't.

We can currently see Larb lying on the ground feeling his eye which he couldn't feel as it was that bad. That wasn't on his mind though, what was is how much he wanted to get his hands on Qaif.

He went to go to the door but it was locked so he went to try another plan. Larb went to open it with the lasers from his pak legs. That didn't work as he found out that he didn't have enough power to use it.

"Great so they not only tie me up and torture me, now they drain my pak's power levels. Larb said to himself as he was getting increasingly annoyed at the situation.

"Qaif where are you? "Show yourself. He gets no response and goes to try another way of getting the vortians attention. "You know I find this real interesting of you Qaif.

"You say you want to avenge what happened to Vort yet here you are being nothing but a coward. Again there wasn't any response, it was as he was talking to nobody.

Larb gave up on trying that went back lying back on the ground. He though of how Qaif managed to find him or at the very least be alive after apparently escaping irken custody.

He thought back to his time on Vort to pass the time considering there wasn't much else he could do. You know seeing as he was in a padded room and couldn't find out how to get out of the room.


Vort before Irken reinforcements arrived.

We see Larb standing on the edge of some mountain admiring the view of the of the planets environment. He was then greeted by Qaif who was unarmored in this case.

Instead he was wearing a black cloth outfit with some blue outline around it. He then speaks to Larb in a much nicer tone than he did when he had him tied up.

"We did it. The vortian says after standing next to Larb with arms crossed. "I still can't believe we took those guys out. "Yeah I mean they were the ones manipulating our people against each other.

"That and for brothers so young had quite the following behind them to show off. "Good thing we got rid of them while we had the chance. "Couldn't agree more.

"Say Larb where'd your robot go? "He's uh busy dealing with any loose ends that remain from the hideout. "Makes sense to make sure we got everything

"Your right on that one. After a brief pause Qaif continues the conversation. "Hey Larb? "What is it? "I..I want you to know that I am grateful for you saving me back there.

"It really put into perspective how much are people rely on each other. "The fact that we actually can cooperate gives me hope. "Right it definitely was something to think about..

"None of that matters as we can look ahead and get excited about it. "What about your family? "Right how could I forget that. "My family is probably worried sick about me.

"They probably are. "You might want to show them your fine. "Right I should probably get going. As Qaif went to walk away Larb stopped him. "Qaif wait. "Yeah what is it?

"How strong do you think the bond we have for each other is? "I'd say pretty strong giving all we've had to go through to stop those brothers from making both our species their puppets.

"That's great, I asked cause I want to say that I am deeply sorry for everything. "What do you mean? The vortian would get his answer as a bunch of irken soldiers run up and aim thier guns at Qaif.

He moves back before looking back at Larb in shock. Then all of a sudden part of the planet was hit with some kind of cannon that shot a beam into the surface.

"Larb..what is this? "What do you think your doing "Like I said Qaif I truly am sorry but I need you to surrender peacefully. "You, I thought our people were on good terms!

"Things change for the better. "Please do the right thing and give up. Qaif reluctantly surrenders and heads over to the irkens waiting for him.

As they head off Larb turns back to the chaos that is unfolding. "Invader Larb we should get going The Tallest are waiting on The Massive for you.

One of the irkens say heading back over to Larb. "Right on my way, I wouldn't want to keep them waiting. Larb responds before heading with the soldier to The Massive to greet the The Tallest.


Qaif on the other hand was being escorted by the irkens that were without a doubt sent by The Tallest to aid Larb in dealing with the rest of Vort's forces.

While being escorted we can see Qaif have the kind of face you'd expect him to have in the situation he's in. For the uneducated his face was a mix of confusion and anger.

There were about five soldiers left with him after the other seven that were there went with Larb. "Keep going vortian the transport ship isn't that much far ahead from here.

There was this thought in Qaif's head that told him to escape but another part thought that Larb was giving him and his family a pass. "Doesn't this one have a family?

"Yes they've already been transported to the nearest prison to work towards the future of the armada. "Ouch that doesn't sound good for them does it.

"Not if he behaves himself. Qaif's mind was thinking a lot before realizing the reality of the situation. He knew Larb's true intentions after that statement.

To him he didn't consider or respect him as anything especially after what he did for him. The vortian realized exactly what he had to do for his family's freedom.

He stopped walking alongside the irkens who were not pleased with his defiance. "What are you doing keep moving. Qaif refused to answer the irken who was in his face with a gun pointed at him.

"I said keep moving. As the irken went to grab and shove him Qaif blocked it and grabbed the gun after shoving the irken to the side. Without hesitation he quickly aims it at the other soldiers.

He shot the other four irkens dead before they could properly react to the situation. Qaif then points the gun at the irken that wasn't shot. He begins asking the remaining soldier questions.

"My family where were they taken? "Look I don't know ok. "Don't lie to me. "Given the fact that I gunned your squad down you'd better tell me where they are.

"Ok fine they've been taken to some prison on Devastis to be put to work in order to build upgrades for our weapons and equipment. "What about Larb..where is he heading?

"Probably back to Irk after meeting with The Tallest. "Thank you. Qaif proceeds to shoot the last soldier dead with the gun before hearing movement up ahead.

He runs off in the opposite direction at full speed in hopes of losing the irkens chasing after him. Qaif knew that once he had escaped from his pursuers that he had to search for and deal with Larb alone.


We transition back to the padded room that Larb was in where he lying there staring at the wall. You know giving that there wasn't anything else he could do.

Larb perks his head up as he notices commotion from down the hallway. He thinks that it's Qaif and lays down in order to catch him off guard so he can try and escape.

The door opens and it wasn't Qaif or any of his soldiers. It was Qobb and Baget. Qobb who had his leg wrapped in bandages from earlier saw Larb on the ground and got concerned.

"You got to be kidding, we went through all this for him to be dead. "We should wait, he might be alive but he could be sleeping. "He doesn't look like it. "We should still check to be sure.

Larb perks up his head again and was had nothing but anger in his face. "You two have some nerve showing up without backup. "Whoa look relax we're not here to hurt you. "No but let me guess your going to give me to Qaif again.

"No but we had kinda had a good reason. "He's right that guy paid us a lot of monies to bring you to him. "This better be a good reason. "Although if it's something stupid than you might as well not even tell me.

"I guess we can't tell you then. "On second thought tell me. "Didn't you say not to. "Either tell me or i'll go ahead and break your other leg. "Fair point. "The thing is we owed monies to people who are really shady and untrustworthy.

"You do realize your the ones saying that. "Again fair point. "Anyways these two threatened to do..real painful things to us if we didn't give them that. "Who exactly would that be?

"One of them was some merchants on Conventia who want the monies to repair there stores after we accidently destroyed part of it. "The other one is an irken named..Zim I think.

"Zim what could he possibly need monies for? "I figured The Tallest had dealt with him. "Guess not and uh to answer your question he needs the monies to fund stuff to use for his mission.

"I think it was something about bribing some lab worker and keeping some vortian in Moo Ping 10? "That was it right? Qobb said asking his brother curiously.

"Right that was it. "So yeah we needed the monies to pay off those two. Baget responds to his brother with as much curiosity as he did to him.

"So uh..sorry? "Sorry, do you see what he did to me? "Yes and we should have found literally anybody else and not some vortian who wasn't the nicest to try and get the monies from.

"What exactly are you two even doing here in the first place? "That well we're uh are your knights in shining non existent armor. "What Baget meant to say was we're hear to get you out of here.

"You two are here to save me? "Of course uh you know because friends do that for each other you know. "Friends? "Yeah friends you and me.

"Ninety five percent of what i've said to you was hostile and insulting so how does that make friends. "Friends argue and fight. "That and it makes for quality enjoyment for us.

"Quiet you idiot. "What I am only trying to lighten the mood. "Ok listen, do the both of you seriously want to do something a friend would do.

"Sure what would that be? "You get me to Qaif where ever he's hiding. "We can do that. "Good so do you know where he is? "If memory serves me right he usually is in some dark type..uh room.

"Then let us not waste time and get going. As they went to head towards Qaif they hear a voice over a speaker interrupt them and it was Qaif.

"I figured you two would be smarter than this but I guess I figured wrong. "As for you Larb you still have yet to pay for pain you caused me and the rest of us.

"Wait you owe him monies to? "No it's.. it's uh complicated to say the least. "I'd ask you to be honest with them Larb but we both know that's not what they want.

"I thought you were different. "Both me and my family thought you were different. "We were fools to think such things. Qaif says interrupting Larb's conversation with the brothers.

"Don't worry though because soon i'll make you regret ever using me and the rest of Vort. The speaker shuts off as they begin heading over to Qaif's little hiding space.


It took them quite some time but eventually they made their way through the building. They had found the only room where Qaif could be hiding.

"Ok this should be the room. Larb said confidently as he readied himself to confront Qaif. "I hope we checked everywhere else. Qobb says losing his patience slightly at their situation.

"Try and relax. Baget says trying to calm his brother and make sure he stays focused. "Right my bad. "It's alright but don't worry we finally found him..right Larb.

"Yes and there is nowhere left for him to hide. "Before we go in there do you two do know how to fight? He asks hoping that they could at least do that.

"Do we know how to fight..of course we know. Baget said with a smile on his face while feeling good about himself. "Me and my brother we've took self defense classes for nearly a year.

"How'd that go? "Great. "No it didn't we got kicked out halfway into the first quarter cause you were caught taking a nap. "That's because that teacher was over the top with training that day and you know it.

"Ok I get it you two have some kind of experience. "Basically yeah. "Indeed we do have some basic training. "Right..this is going end so terribly.

"Trust us we can handle ourselves. "Exactly this'll be easy. "I hope it does. After that little back and forth they kick the door open and search for Qaif.

"You know..the door was unlocked. Qaif says looking at the them with a silent look of disappointment. "Ok that's awkward should we do that again? Qobb said trying to make light of the situation.

"No we don't need to. "Then what would make you say that? "I have my reasons. "Ok see that makes sense. "I finally realize what's wrong with you two. "Your both utterly braindead.

"It's not them you should be worried about Qaif. "You should've surrendered and put this in the past "Believe me I would never take my mind off of you after you betrayed me.

"Not only that but the entirety of Vort. "I had a mission to do. "Besides I work for The Tallest not Vort. "Figures you'd take thier side. "You see this seem like a lie but I actually respect The Tallest and thier accolades.

"What I don't respect is that you show up be nice with me and and MY FAMILY. "Not only that but those brothers never wanted to hurt anybody.

"The fact is that they knew you were an invader and they were going to expose you and your plot of deception to the people of Vort. "That's the reason you wanted them dead.

"I had hoped we wouldn't have to talk about that. "Of course you wouldn't. "Though that doesn't shock at all me that you tried hiding that.

"You want me to be honest with you Qaif. "What? "I wasn't actually putting you and your family to slave work like you think. "Really is that yet another lie you wish to tell me?

"I am being honest with you. I was going to ensure you had the life you and them always hoped of. "No more putting yourself through the ringer for them to live a good life.

"LIAR! "I know you and the kind of person that you are. "Your nothing more than a manipulative backstabbing leech. "For that I promised that I wouldn't stop until you feel the pain we felt.

Right as Larb and the brothers went to head over to Qaif two soldiers quickly grabbed The Brothers before closing the door and locking it. Not like the brothers would be much use in a fight anyways.

Larb was caught off guard by this and it gave Qaif the perfect chance to take advantage. He tackled the invader to the ground and before slamming him against the wall.

He then throws him into a shelf that slightly breaks after he hits it. "You will suffer for all the life's you ruined. "For all the people you turned into prisoners and slaves to The Tallest. Qaif says in tone that was full of hatred.

As he went to hit Larb again shoved him back with a pak leg sending the vortian into a shelf that was on the other side of the room. "Qaif please calm yourself.

"Don't tell me you expect me to calm myself. "Think about what your doing. "If your trying to bring back the memories we had together than forget it.

"That me died a thousand deaths, a fate I wish I could give you. "I don't want to hurt you. "Where was this mercy for the others. "You didn't share that with them.

"You have a lot of nerve trying that. "Don't make me hurt you Qaif cause you know I can. "I am not the same person I was all those years ago. "My eyes are much more clear.

"So go and do your worst. Larb ran at the vortian and punched in the face before throwing him towards the ledge overlooking the outside. He grabs and punched him again with more force.

"I had orders. "So you say, is that the excuse you want to use. "It's not an excuse. "You say that but we both know your lying. "You know part me thinks your more mad I betrayed you than Vort.

"What would make you say that? "It's because you seem more focused on your family than both. "I might not know much about family but I think that's the reason your this mad at me.

"How bout you get up and we can talk this through. "What? "Look Qaif listen to me and lets talk about this. "Like you said we used to be friends.

Larb lends out a hand to Qaif to pick him up off the ground. The vortian goes to grab his hand but instead of making amends with his former mate he instead takes advantage of Larb again.

He grabbed Larb and punches him in his wounded eye. There was no doubt that he was trying to hurt it even more. Qaif wasn't done yet as he wanted to hurt him even more.

Qaif pulls Larb towards him who then head butts the invader making him back towards the door. "Did you seriously think that I'd let you deceive me again.

"No Larb I am much smarter than that, you should've known this. "Forget making you suffer I'll kill you right here. Larb hesitates before looking back up at his former friend.

Qaif ran towards Larb while holding the taser from earlier. He goes to hit Larb but misses as the irken grabs the taser and uses it on Qaif's eye.

Larb then grabs him and pushes him aggressively towards what could be described as a decent view of the area. Not perfect in any capacity but hey that could change with some time and money put in to it.

We see Larb look like he's going to throw Qaif off the cliff. In case you were curious anybody who fell would end up hitting the ground at such force that neither would survive it.

Right not the time I'll let you get back to the story. Man I can be such an annoyance sometimes. Hey that's how I can be it's bad I know anyways back to the story.

The two were both inches away from falling to thier death. Larb didn't care as he had his fill with this once Qaif had abducted him and tried to blind him with a taser.

Larb proceeded to say one last thing before ending this. "It's over Qaif. "I never wanted this, all I asked was that you surrendered. "You had to go and make this difficult.

After a brief hesitation he answers the question. "Go ahead and kill me. "Cause it will be the worst choice you will make in your life. Qaif says with little emotion at his comments.

"There are others like me who have the same hatred for you. "Even when I am dead I can promise you that there will be another who kills you for what you did.

"Cause in death our thirst for revenge will live on. "Though it will be achieved in honor of Vort and every other planet you've destroyed. "This I can promise you with everything I have.

Larb after staring at Qaif one last time he proceeds to throw him off the ledge. "Sorry Qaif, I wish this went a different way. Larb says seemingly regretting his decision.

After he does that the doors to the room open and it's Qobb and Baget. They stare at Larb before Baget breaks the awkward silence that was filling the room.

"Is it over? "Yeah cause we heard a lot of commotion in here while getting rid of these two. "Yes it's over. "Great uh..what do we do? "I'd say we get out here but how do we.

"No need to panic cause I plan on getting us out of here. "Wait..us? "Yes is that a bad thing? "Far from it, bro I think he's finally starting to be nice to us.

"I agree, this calls for a group hug between best friends. "No let's not do that. "Right that would be a little weird. Larb takes the bloodied up tool and makes a call.

"To whatever irken is listening, this is Invader Larb. "I am currently on Driftus in some kind of decrepit looking base and need a rescue. "Please arrive as soon as possible.

"Also going to need room for two Driftians. "See he does know what we are. "Right I guess he did. "I told you he did, you saying he's stupid? "No not as much as I thought.

"Shut up bro. "Right. "Ok yes we'll meet you out the entrance as soon as we can. "Right lets get out of here. "Amen to that, I do not want to be here any longer than needed. "I agree. "Let's get going before any of his soldiers show up.


Minutes went by and they had made it to the entrance and were greeted by a convoy of irken soldiers. "Invader Larb we received your distress call and made it here as soon as possible.

"Thanks and I see here that there's two ships. "Yes ones for you and the others for the Driftians. "Ok but do make sure these two get home safely.

"No worries we will. "Good cause if you don't then I'll have to tell The Tallest that you went and failed and disobeyed an Invaders order. "I imagine you don't want to make them upset.

A long hesitation filled the air as the irken that Larb was speaking to nervously spoke again. "Yes Invader Larb we'll ensure these two get home safely.

"I also want their living quarters to be upgraded to first class and for them to have guards watching them.. "Is that all? "I know we wouldn't mind having our debts being paid off.

"How much do you owe? "Two thousand for the merchants and twelve thousand for Zim. "You heard them once they arrive home you are to give them all of that understand.

"Yes Invader Larb. "Thanks man. "What can I say you two did break me out. "That and you two at least made an effort to try and stop Qaro with me.

"So go on enjoy the perks of a high life. "Thanks again Larb. "Yes we'll never forget this mate. "Don't mention and do try and behave yourselves.

The ship takes both Qobb and Baget back to thier home planet leaving Larb to himself. "You ready Invader Larb? "Yes bring back to The Massive.

"I would like to inform The Tallest that I am indeed alive and ready for whatever mission they need from me. "Ok then let get in and lets go. "Gladly.

Larb enters the ship to which it then heads off into the sky and begins it's trip towards The Massive. For Larb he had to face his past and managed to live to tell the tale like most invaders do for The Irken Armada.


We see a figure enter a room with a clipboard in hand before speaking to a strange figure. "Chief we've managed to find the guy that you requested we find.

"Traoq? a unknown voice says while in the back corner of the darkened room. "Yes. "What about the other two? "One of them is on Earth with Zim.

"As for Qaif he's in the med bay barely able to breath and is unable to partake in the mission. "Fine then I guess it'll be me and Traoq alone against this threat.

"Chief no offense but there is no way you two will be able to do that. "Trust me, anything is possible in this universe all you have to do is work for it. "As for Traoq one way or another will cooperate.

"So do I bring him to you? "Yes bring him to the briefing room so we can talk. "Can do Chief. The figure leaves whoever this Chief is and go's to get Traoq.


Thanks again for reading through yet another story. It makes me so excited to work on these stories for you all to enjoy. If your wondering when Tak will finally show up in full force.

Believe me I can't wait either but I want to build a foundation for future stories to stand on like the Tak one. Patience is a virtue and it will be worth it.

If not then uh well lets hope that doesn't end up happening ok. Great glad we are all on the same page here. The next story is going to be interesting to say the least.

It will partially focus on Traoq who you've seen before in the first story. Also might hint at what could happen in the future of the overall storyline.

So let us be patient and hope for the best. We wouldn't want those low quality stories to return would we? Kidding relax, do feel free to let me know what you think so far.

Trust me I will do anything in my power to ensure that I give you the quality stories that I feel like I haven't given before this. I will prove to you one story at a time that I can give you high quality content to read.

Anyways thank you all once again for staying with me and I will see you all when very soon. Goodbye and remember stay safe and God Bless You All.
