"NEW EPPIE!!NEW EPPIE!!NEW EPPIE!!" came the insane chant. A human female wearing a
Prepare For Some DOOM! shirt sat on the edge of her bed, jumping up and down. An evil
Nickelodeon logo was sewn above the writing so it read, "Nickelodeon, Prepare for Some DOOM!" The bottom of the shirt was tied off so that it resembled a tunic of some sort. She wore black jeans with silver stars on them and an IZ decal in each star. She also had on a pair of Dib-like glasses. She hugged a GIR plushie tightly. "NEWEPPIENEWEPPIENEWEPPIENEWEPPIENEWEPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She flung open her window. "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW EPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" she howled. A car alarm went off.
"Shaddap!" someone yelled.
"YOU'RE JUST BEGGING TO FACE THE MOOSE!!!" The complaining neighbor muttered to himself about crazy psychopaths next door. She sat down in front of her TV and checked to make sure the VCR was on. "YAY!!!!!" The 'Invasion' sign came on and she screamed happily. Suddenly, the TV went blank. All the power went out as well. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY THE FLEAS FROM YOUR COW INFLAME YOUR RHUBARB!!!!!!!!" She clutched the TV and then whacked it with a fist. "ARGH!!!" It didn't help.
"Ya know Lizrah, that isn't doing any good." She spun around at the sound of the voice. A Pikachu with a golden Irken symbol on his head lay on her bed. He had a blue and gold bracelet around his left ear and wore a belt of blue and pink Mardi Gras beads. His tail twitched.
"WHAT ON IRK??!! Luck-Charm?!!!!"
"In the fur!"
"But how???" He shrugged.
"I dunno......" The human twitched angrily. The floor glowed beneath her feet and she grew taller. Her hair turned to an anime spiky silver and she grew rabbit-like ears. White fur ran down the length of them. The shirt had become an actual black tunic and she was wearing silver tights. Her eyes turned narrow and the glasses disappeared. A black headband with an eight- petalled flower appeared on her forehead. Two swords appeared on her back and lastly a monkey tail sprouted.
"GAH!! WHY???!! I've been waiting since OCTOBER!!!!!!!!"
"Calm down Lizrah!" the Pikachu exclaimed.
"CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN??!!!! YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL SHOW YOU "CALM DOWN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She drew her swords and slashed her "Things I hate" dartboard in half. One BUM was sliced completely in half and IM Weasel was torn to ribbons. She panted and hung her head. "This bites. No new ZIM." She opened her window and let out a long howl of grief. "AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
--Japan--
"AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What's that?"
--Back to the house--
"LIZRAH!!" Luck-Charm exclaimed, sounding dumbfounded. "Look!" She opened her eyes and looked around. A billboard reading "Drink Poop!" could be seen off on the distance.
"HOLY IRK!!! IS IT??!!!!" She leapt out her window and looked around. The houses were all a dark gloomy purple. Her white house stood out like a cat at a dog show. Luck-Charm dashed out the window and leapt on her shoulder.
"I...I..Don't believe it!" he murmured. She looked around and grinned.
"I'M IN INVADER ZIM!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She started doing the monkey dance. "WHEE-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" she screamed in her GIR voice. "LET'S MAKE BISCUTS!! LET'S MAKE BISCUTS!" The Pikachu clasped his hands over his ears.
"Must you scream so loud?"
"Sorry." Luck-Charm looked at her watch.
"Lizrah! Your watch says it's Monday and 8:00AM. It was Friday before the power went out!" She thought for a minute, trying to unravel this mystery. Then something in her head clicked.
"8:00!!! SKOOL!! Let's go!!" She transformed back into her human form and they ran off. She dashed back to her house and shut the window." We want to avoid any scrapes with the Open Window Maniac." LC nodded.
"DOOM doom doom doom doom............." ranted the teacher. A small, nervous Squee walked up to her and handed her a note from the office.
He then ran out of the room screaming, "RUN SCHMEE!!!!!!" The teacher looked at the note. "There will be a new student joining class number.." An airplane flew overhead blocking out her voice. "Her name is InvaderZIP23." An odd girl walked in the room with some kind of yellow mouse on her shoulder. Dib stared at her. So did everyone else.
"Ms. Bitters?" Spoo asked from the back of the room." Isn't it against the rules to have pets at Skool?" The mouse-rabbit jumped down from her shoulder and leaped on top of his desk. It grabbed his shirt collar.
"Listed SPOO!! I am NOBODY'S pet!! IZ23 is my friend. NOT my master. FRIEND!!!" The class stared at the talking rodent. Dib pulled out a notepad and begun to take notes. The mouse's cheeks glowed and electricity raced down its arm, shocking poor Spoo. The kid squealed and the mouse stalked away haughtily. It leapt on its FRIEND'S shoulder and faced them."By the way, my name is Luck-Charm and I am a Pikachu, not a mouse." The human finally spoke.
"Umm....Ms. Bitters? Can I sit in Zita's seat?"
"Fine. You're doomed anyway." Zita got up and moved to the back of the room and sat next to Willy. Dib finally got a good look at the girl and gasped. Her shirt had a picture of ZIM WITHOUT his disguise on it! Her pants were covered with them too. Pictures of that little green dog-thing of ZIM's were on them too. So was a Gaz decal. He thought he saw a button with his picture on it too.
"She knows.."he murmured.
ZIM and ZIP stared at the Pikachu. It wasn't its talking ability that had caught their attention, it was the golden, glowing Irken symbol on its head. They too had noticed the decals. "It's weird....I feel like I know her somehow," ZIP muttered. She passed the human a note in Irken script.
"ZIP, you know these smelly-Earth monkeys can't read Irken. And why do you want to pass IT a note anyway?"
"I have a hunch that....." A crumpled wad of paper landed on her desk. She opened it and startled.
'Yes, I know you too Irken invader ZIP,' it read in Irken writing.' You as well ZIMMY. I'll explain everything to you at lunch.' ZIP passed the note to ZIM and his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. His contacts fell out and he hurriedly put them back in before anyone noticed. Ms. Bitters resumed ranting.
"Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom......"
Five million "Dooms" later, the lunch bell rang. The rest of the students raced out of the room, save ZIP and ZIM. They waited for the human to grab a pile of paper and gel pens that had seemed to materialize out of nowhere. She looked at them and smiled. "Halo!"
"Halo's are for dead people," Luck-Charm declared. The girl's blue eyes grew wide under her huge glasses and she lunged at ZIM and hugged him.
"OH MY IRK!! IT'S REALLY YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She released him and turned to ZIP." You look so different in person. I mean, you're the same, but...not just a sketch on paper. You're REAL!" The two Irkens stared at her.
"You said you would "explain" filth-human. So begin your...explaining." ZIM growled. The human looked around nervously.
"Come to this address after Skool," she said, handing them a slip of paper. "Bring GIZ and GIR too. Radio Neera, Faroeh, and KAT. We need EVERYONE." The Irkens were shocked at that.
"H-how? W-where?"
"Lunch!!" she yelled happily, dashing down the hall, pens and paper in hand.
"Wait for me!!!!!!" Luck-Charm yelled, racing after her.
The lunchroom was pure chaos. Because it was raining, there would be no recess. Dib beckoned to the strange girl who was taking in all the sights and smells of the room. She ran toward him and sat down next to him, ignoring the long-in-effect law that no one sat next to Dib, save ZIP, Gaz, and ZIM. ZIM sat there, not by choice, but because he wanted to sit next to ZIP and she wanted to sit next to both him and Dib. The Pikachu leapt off her shoulder and leapt atop Gaz's head. It stared at her Game Slave and muttered to her," Go left! That way you can't get hit by Volvagia's Rock Throw attack!" She followed its advice and narrowly missed being hit by an avalanche of rocks.
"Thanks."
"No prob."
"So you know ZIM's an alien?" Dib asked her.
"Yup! And I know that you once tried to stop him by presenting at a Swollen Eyeball meeting and another time with water balloons and stuff. I also know there is a nightmare world in your head."
"How the?"
"And you ZIM, you're an Irken invader, your SIR's name is GIR, it's advanced, and you live in a glowing green house. You also hit the Earth with a water balloon once."
"How?"
"Come to my house after Skool. All shall be explained. Gaz, you too." She handed Gaz and Dib a slip identical to ZIM and ZIP's. They looked it over, confused. The bell rang and the students trotted back to their classrooms like zombies.
"Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom…"
ZIP and ZIM were at the base, contemplating the odd girl. "Can we trust her?" ZIM asked ZIP.
"I think we can. I get this feeling from her that she can help us." She got the two SIRs dressed in their disguises, much to their dislike. Neera, Faroeh, and KAT appeared on a teleporter and walked up to the Irkens.
"Hallo ZIM, ZIP!" Faroeh said cheerfully. He shoved a pair of contacts in his eyes and thought hard. In a minute, he looked like a furry human with odd ears. Neera did the same and forced KAT into her cat suit. They all walked out the door only to find the odd human standing there with her Pikachu companion. Dib and Gaz were there too. They followed IZ23, wondering if this was smart.
