ZIM hopped off the water cooler bottle as the other Irkens rushed past him with laser rifles. He spied a hovering transport – like a wagon with no wheels that floated, really – and used put the bottle of water on it. Opening a cork in the top to get water, ZIM made a water balloon. Holding it his hand, he turned to the door and walked out.

Before ZIM took in the matters at hand, he relished the everywhere color of magenta that was his planet. Completely rebuilt from the Operation: Impending Doom One incident, Irk was again in its glory. But the VootRunners firing wildly at the thousands of slaughtering rat people from Blorch on the ground killed the mood entirely.

Cries of Irkens resounded every few seconds as the slaughtering rat people continued attacking. ZIM decided now was a good a time as any to see if water would work against the rat people. As two slaughtering rat people overtook an Invader nearby, ZIM arched his arm back and threw the blue water balloon at the rat people. The thin layer of rubber burst on the nearer of the two rat people and as it did…

…The two rat people exploded as well.

The Invader writhed in agony from the water for a little bit, but as he stood with his skin now breaking out into a hideous rash, it was evident he was glad to be alive. When the Invader saw who it was that saved him, it was safe to say he was mildly shocked.

"ZIM?! What are you doing here? Aren't you dead?" he asked, his words almost a shriek as the individual battles when on around the two Invaders. "And what was that thing you hit those two filthy rat people with?"

"I am very alive, and I am here in answer to the Tallests emergency call." ZIM, oblivious to the incredulous look the Invader was giving him, continued. "That was a water balloon filled with a substance I found on Earth called 'water.'"

The Invader, standing half a foot above ZIM, rubbed his arms. "It hurt like hell," he commented. He looked up and saw ZIM leaving, another water balloon at the ready.

"Where are you going?!" he called out to ZIM.

The tiny Invader turned. "To rain doom down onto the heads of these rat people, of course, foolish amateur!" ZIM cried out, getting a maniacal glint in his eye. As ZIM headed towards the building in which Red and Purple were, the Invader he saved told all other about the deadly weapon ZIM had.

Purple looked out of the cracked window with an extremely worried expression. "We're getting slaughtered, how very fitting." He had long since discarded his blaster, its energy completely drained. Red was trying everything possible to prolong his existence by tapping are the keys on the consoles in the room as the barricaded door buckled under the power of the numerous slaughtering rat people running into it, and then cursing in high-pitched squeaks.

"The problem isn't lack of weapons…it's just that there's too many of them," Purple muttered to the window while Red cursed the computers as they refused to work.

The other Tallest turned to Purple. "They've chewed through the cables somehow, we don't have power in this room." He glared at the computer as if it was its fault.

"At least they can't get in," Purple said, casting a glance at the window to see if the tides of the battle had turns, but, alas, the Invaders were only able to fend off the rat people.

Suddenly the sound of a squishy explosion was hear from out in the hall just on the other side of the door. Purple and Red both waited, for there was nothing else to do. As the door slid open, the person they least expected to see came in.

"ZIM?!" the Tallests exclaimed in unison.

The Invader saluted, and then gasped, threw a strange object threw the opened door, and closed the door as another explosion was heard.

"What did you just do?" Purple asked of ZIM.

"I brought some water from that pitiful planet Earth, and it seems that the rat people explode upon contact with it." ZIM grinned proudly.

Red waved the explanation away. "Whatever it is, just go get more of it!" he yelled, and ZIM did so.

What happened after that was this: ZIM returned to Earth and took enough water to Irk to make another giant water balloon. He then dropped it onto Irk, and the slaughtering rat people on Irk were destroyed. They were not all the slaughtering rat people, though. When ZIM dropped the big water balloon, he forgot to mention the allergic reaction Irkens have to water, so all the Irkens on Irk got very painful rashes. Although most of the buildings crumbled, ZIM was told since he saved Irk, he could ask for one thing when he needed it most. ZIM was honored by this, and he went back to Earth to resume his mission, knowing that if the situation got too bad, he could always call in the Armada, or something.

And it was so that ZIM saved the Irkens using water.
