A/N : Feels like forever since I uploaded to this site lol. Anyways this story is based heavily on the invader zim comics, specifically issue 16. Its also more humorous and insane like the show so if something doesnt make sense its not supposed too lol. Anyways I hope you enjoy.

Arcademageddon, it was the ultimate test of skill, a competition like no other that only occurs once every five years on a planet dedicated solely to gaming in the center of the universe. For centuries there has been one undefeated competitor, the Commander of the Giga Rippers.

A race of elite reptilian mercenaries that used video games as part of their training. An average Giga Ripper weighed 400 pounds and stood 16 feet tall, with most of their features covered by their advanced armoured suits and helmets.

The Commander demanded to be placed into cryosleep after every victorious Arcademageddon. He refused to be replaced by anyone that wasn't worthy and he wasn't going to let something as trivial as his aging give anyone a better chance. He had to be in top condition, to be defeated fair and square and would not rest until he could find a worthy opponent to replace him…


Deep in his underground base, a shadow of a taller Irken flickered across the walls as he paced back and forth, glancing every once in a while towards the giant screen full of the schematics from his PAK. For years they deceived him, mocked him, humiliated him…

"Master! Incoming message from-"

"Ignore it!" Zim ordered. His eyes scanned through the data on screen "There must be SOMETHING I can do to fix this, something I'm overlooking… but what?"

The screen flashed red making Zim jump back in shock "Incoming message!"

Zim picked himself up "I TOLD YOU TO IGNORE IT!" He shrieked

"I did, this is another incoming message from a Sorixie representative" the computer replied

"I DON'T CARE! GIR'S NAP WILL ONLY LAST SO LONG! I ONLY HAVE RIGHT NOW TO WORK ON THIS!" Zim yelled

"You should just answer the call then, they're not going to stop" Computer advised

Zim growled and tugged at his antennae "Tell them I'm too busy to talk!"

"OOOOOK" he droned

Zim sighed and rubbed his head "Focus Zim! There must be a way to-"

"INCOMING MESSAGE!!!"

Zim threw his head back and screamed "AGHHHHH!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO-"

"IT'S THE GIGA RIPPER GENERAL!" Computer urged

Zim stopped his tantrum instantly, eyes shrinking and mouth fighting into a thin line "Giga Rippers? Those vile reptiles! What could they possibly? Nevermind accept the call!"

On the screen a large alien appeared, his entire face covered by a virtual helmet with only the creature's four yellow eyes and vicious mandibles visible. His voice was gravelly and robotic "Irken! Why have you been ignoring our calls?" He growled

Zim scoffed "You just answered your own question you wretched metal lizard! I am Irken! Zim is always busy! Now leave me alone!"

"You have some nerve! Did you forget about the treaty between our species?"

"Yes! Yes! I know about the stupid treaty! It has nothing to do with me!" Zim huffed and crossed his arms.

"Actually it does! You remember Arcadikon? What it is and what it means to our people?" He asked

"Eeh?" Zim started rubbing his chin "Well I did go to last year's competition"

"Yes you did and as you MUST know, all qualified candidates are required to attend Arcademageddon" he continued

Zim's antennae popped up suddenly "Doesn't that only occur every five rotations?"

"Exactly! The fifth rotation is approaching and your attendance is mandatory, our Commander, uhhhh…commands it"

Zim growled and shook his fist at the screen "I do not have time to waste on frivolous gaming! I'm sure your commander will not even notice my absence!"

"YOU should consider this an honor IRKEN! Your performance impressed him and he is not easily pleased" he hissed

Zim chuckled darkly, a small smirk appearing on his face "Well I AM an unstoppable death machine! It's only natural for him to recognize my greatness!" He thought it over for a second "Okay okay I will grace your planet with my presence! "

"That's more like it but there's one other thing" the creature started to play footage "Years ago, this female completely dominated that year's Arcadikon!" On the screen, was a younger Gaz beating a larger alien at arm wrestling, then it flicked to her beating the high scores on shooting game, then it showed her mercilessly beating other aliens in virtual reality combat "We haven't been able to find her since, but upon further investigation we discovered that she used an Irken ship to attend and was dropped off by you" he growled

"The purple human…" Zim growled

"Whoever she is, it is your responsibility to make sure she attends Arcademageddon! Failure to do so would be a breach in the treaty and not only will the empire lose us as Allies, We. Will. Declare. War" he emphasized.

Zim laughed "HA! Just because your race is taller than us doesn't mean you'd win! We outnumber you!"

"Oh believe me Irken, you have MANY enemies, enemies that have been looking for recruits and if you push us too far-"

Zim waved him off "Yes yes, I get it already! Zim will make it happen! Now LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"You better keep your word Irken! Or you will be the first to be made an example of!" He growled and ended the transmission.

Zim sighed, running a hand down his face "Finally! Now I can-"

"MASTER! WHERE ARRRRE YOU? I'M HANGRY!!! MASTER!? MASTERRRR!!! TACOS!!! I WANT TACOS!" Gir screeched in the distance.

Zim face palmed "So much for that…"


Dib looks at the time and sighs. He sits in his chair and spins in it before opening up his laptop. "It's the first time I've had time to do this, so might as well update" he says to himself as he sees his reflection on the screen. He pulls out a mini microphone from his trenchcoat pocket before speaking "Mission log: Today is my first day of my senior year and while I wait for Gaz to get ready I figured I should finally get around to recording my progress. It's been five years since the florpus incident and unfortunately I am no closer to exposing Zim to the world… CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! It couldn't be anymore clear that Zim was the one that spiraled our planet into chaos but everyone still continued on as if nothing had ever happened! He even continued to go to skool! It's BEYOND frustrating! But I WILL say that… he hasn't really been doing anything too horrible. For the most part he's just been annoying, not being a real threat to the Earth. However I suspect he might have something huge he's working on and he's betting on me dropping my guard! Not going to happen!

Now onto the less important stuff. My progress has been halted also by my father, he's been on my ass about my studies, what classes I need to take, setting me up with interviews for all these colleges! It's crazy! He demands I go to the schools of his choosing or he won't invest in me at all! So needless to say all of my paranormal endeavors have been on the back burner, happening only when I can sneak out on nights Dad's too busy to notice. On the bright side I'm not doing it all by myself anymore, my little sister Gaz has been more open to helping me out, it's gotten to the point where I don't even have to ask. I just tell her about a new lead I have and she's by the door with my case packed and her bat ready! It's been nice to have someone I can actually trust on my side as opposed to people who only pretend so they can get information out of me! But enough rambling! Later on tonight Dad should be gone and I'll update then."

Dib clicked off the microphone he was speaking into and closed the laptop before heading downstairs."Gaz! You almost ready? We're going to be late!" Dib shouted

Gaz grumbled and turned in her bed not wanting to wake up just yet. After all, she still had some time before she had to worry about things like graduation. She was mostly ignored by their father whose attention was focused solely on Dib. She didn't mind however, she liked her space and better him than her. She was still an avid gamer however as of late the spark within her was dwindling. She couldn't remember the last time she was truly excited and giddy over a new game, they all seemed so repetitive now. Her favorite game companies either got cancelled on Twitter or retired and left it to their kids which only cared about making a buck. The creativity, the absurdity, and the experiences were cheapened.

It just wasn't the same, still enjoyable yes but it felt hollow. The most enjoyable thing in her life had soured. It was one of the reasons she began tagging along with Dib more, she longed to feel something again, to not feel like a zombie without a brain to feast on. Mostly the adventures were just annoying to her and consisted of her just playing on her gameslave while Dib poked around empty forests or her having to beat Zim with a bat if Dib was near death… well she did find it kind of funny when Dib got hurt so there was that.

"Gaz! Come on !" Dib yelled.

Gaz snarled and stomped out of bed, it took a while for her to wake up but once she did she was pretty fast at getting ready. She glared at herself in the mirror before taking a shower hating that even at 16 she was still on the short side. Her hair was a little longer and wavy but otherwise she still looked the same. After her shower she got dressed in her usual dark clothes, her purple shirt sporting a vampire piggy and her skirt was plaid and black. She went to the kitchen and stuffed a piece of burnt toast in her mouth before heading to the living room. Dib eyed her curiously while holding the door open for her "Ugh we REALLY need to get foodio fixed" he remarked.

"Yeah, I miss having pizza for breakfast" she agreed, opening the door to Dib's new car.

Dib locked up and activated their security doors before following suit and starting up his car. He bumped his head when he got inside, forgetting how tall he is. This was their routine now, getting up late, having stale breakfast and Dib driving them both to skool. While Gaz could walk to skool easily, Dib insisted that they go together since it's the last year he'll be going there. He yawned while he drove and adjusted his glasses at the nearest stoplight "You know Gaz, this is nice, I mean not the whole being late thing but spending time together! I really appreciate it"

Gaz gave him a side eye before turning her head to look out the window. Dib focused on the road again before continuing "I know I'm annoying you but I couldn't but notice that you haven't been yourself lately"

"What do you mean?" She growled

"You haven't been happy in a long time, I can't even remember the last time I've heard you laugh… wait actually I can! It was five years ago… FIVE YEARS AGO GAZ!" He shouted

"Your point?" She asked

Dib stopped the car suddenly, making them both jerk slightly forward. "I know you don't want to open up to me Gaz, I get it, we suck at expressing ourselves! But I'm not going to be here next year!"

She smirked "I know I can't wait"

"HA! HA! You say that NOW but you'll miss me! You'll see!"

Gaz unbuckled her seatbelt before Dib placed a hand on her shoulder. She snarled and bit it "NYAHHH! Geez Gaz I just wanted to say that I'm here for you if you need me! Damn!" He cried

Gaz snickered "Whiner! I didn't even draw blood!"

Dib hissed and shook his throbbing hand "You're so mean"

The membrane siblings arrived to skool five minutes late. "SHIT SHIT SHIT! I can already hear the lecture I'm gonna get from Dad about this!" Dib rambled while rushing ahead and leaving Gaz in the dust. "Whatever" she grumbled and turned around to get her backpack when she heard a familiar dramatic voice.

"DIB-SISTER! What took you so long!? Now Zim is late, you wretched female!" He shouted with his hands on his hips.

Zim, he now stood about 5'11 and updated his wig so it just looked like normal spiky black hair, his Invader uniform was way too tight on him however so now it was sleeveless and revealed just how much he's been working out.

Gaz turned on her heel and punched him in the gut "Why are you waiting for ME Zim?"

Zim coughed at the impact holding his stomach. He adjusted his wig and growled "Very cute human! You punch like a smeet!"

She sighed "What is it? You want to make another deal? If so I'm down, Dibs been bugging me"

Zim gave her a blank stare before erupting in maniacal laughter "Deal? With you? After you failed me last time!?"

Gaz scoffed, rolling her eyes before walking on ahead "How was I supposed to know Dib injected himself with fear siphon?"

Zim snarled "As his superior sibling it was your job to know but NEVERMIND THAT!" He ran ahead of her and blocked her path to the skool entrance.

"Get out of my way Zim" she said through clenched teeth, her knuckles white with restraint.

"In due time! You tiny thing!" He said condescendingly patting her head making her growl. "Tell me Gus! You remember Arcadikon, yes?!"

"It's GAZ! and of course I do! That was the last time I had any fun" her eyes flicked towards his fake orbs "What's up? you offering to take me back?" she smirked

"Not Arcadikon but Arcademageggon! It's -"

An earth shattering thud interrupted him, making him lose his balance and fall forward, a cybernetic robot with the words "Skool rocks!" painted on it's chest, aimed two guns at the two of them.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING! REPORT TO YOUR CLASSROOMS IMMEDIATELY OR PREPARE FOR ANNIHILATION!"

Gaz crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side "So that's what the PTA spends the money on"

Zim picked himself up and shook his fist at the robot "DO YOUR WORST VILE TIN CAN!!! YOUR FILTHY OUTDATED WEAPONS ARE NO MATCH FOR ZIIIIM!!!" He released two even bigger laser guns from his Pak and instantly vaporized the machine.

"Muhahaha! How do you like that PATHETIC EARTH drone!?" He laughed and shot a smug smirk in the direction of the unimpressed teenage girl.

"That was dumb now we're going to be questioned by the principal!" She snarled

"Eeh? So what?"

"So NOW instead of this day going by faster you've just PROLONGED IT!" she spat

He waved her off "No big deal! I know how to handle this 'Principal' as you call him!"

"Why do you even come here, Zim? If I were you I'd just make some robot to go to skool in my place?" She asked

He gave her a blank stare in response, blinking twice and opening his mouth to speak but the words dying on his tongue.

"You've never thought of it before now huh?" She chuckled

"LIESSSS!!!! I HAVE! I just… just… uhhhh… Your pathetic dookie-Dib would never fall for that!" He shouted

"Psh! Still calling Dib 'dookie' Zim what are you five?" She snickered

"Ehh? What is dookie an inefficient insult now?" He asked

"It's BEEN inefficient, try calling him a Dib-Shit next time" she advised before walking ahead, leaving the alien to ponder over his vocabulary with a finger on his chin.

"WAIT! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT- oh you're gone" he pouted.

Disassociation strikes again…


School seemed to last forever, Zim would periodically glance at the clock, growling and muttering curses when only five minutes went by since he last checked. This did not go unnoticed by Dib, he tapped his pencil on the desk, wondering what was up with Zim. It's been a while since Zim has been this animated. He questioned it but kept his mouth shut, reasoning that he would keep an eye on him but focused more on his exam.

Microphone feedback was heard making everyone in the class whine in pain "Zim Zim! Report to the principal's office immediately!" A furious voice was heard through the speaker

"Fine! Anything is better than staying in this prison of a classroom!" He spat as he marched out of the class, slamming the door hard enough that parts of the wall crumbled and fell unto Mary, a fellow classmate. "Raghhhhh help me!!!!"

While his classmates struggled to dig her out of the rubble, Dib ignored the chaos "That's interesting… I wonder if he's planning another 'field trip' for us… maybe I should follow him" he thought and tried to sneak out. "Hey Dib! You're not going to help us get Mary out?" The letter M asked

"He's trying to ditch!" Jessica shouted

"How heartless!" Keef cried

"Oh come on! She's just being dramatic!" Dib screamed

Three giant robots crashed through the classroom door and aimed their guns at Dib "Ditchers are to be purged! No one is leaving this classroom!"

"Zim got to leave!" Dib yelled

One the guards electrocuted him in response "No one leaves until the bell rings! No exceptions!!!"

Meanwhile Gaz was bored out of her mind and started drawing mindless doodles on the back of her test after finishing it. Her mind started to wonder, Zim was trying to talk to her about something Arcadikon related. She started to regret that she ditched him to go to class without figuring out what he wanted first. Now she just made things more difficult, trying to talk to him alone without Dib was going to be a chore. If only there was some way to sneak her phone number to him. She started drawing herself in a space suit with a sci-fi looking gun, shooting random aliens with their guts splattering across the page and smiled to herself. Her teacher snuck up behind her and grabbed her paper "Gazlene Membrane! What did I tell you about these morbid drawings?" Her teacher scolded

Gaz scoffed "Some teacher you are! You're interrupting the entire class just because I drew something on the back of my test"

"That's the point missy! This is your test! You should've just turned it in instead of making this kind of garbage! Now I'm afraid you'll have to take it all over again!" She said ripping the test in half.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Gaz yelled

"And now you're cussing?! Well I hope you don't have plans after school Miss Membrane! You'll be spending your afternoon in detention!"

Gaz grumbled and waited until the teacher left her desk to write the teacher's name in her death note "This better fucking work Dib" she whispered and looked to the teacher expectantly. She waited for something to happen and alas nothing, no heart attack, no choking, she was as happy as can be. "Fucking Dib got ripped off again, why am I not surprised? Oh well it was worth a shot" Gaz thought to herself.

She texted Dib when she got out of class to tell him that he could go home without her and headed to the detention area. It was surrounded by more of those security bots, the entrance was a metal door that only the guards had the code to. "Damn it's been a while since I've been here" she said. She walked up to the entrance where she was halted by one of the guards.

"State your name student" it droned

"Gazlene Membrane"

"Ah yes, sailor mouth! Proceed with caution, our skool is not responsible for any injury that may occur from touching the plasma laser bars inside the facility" It informed and entered the code to open up the door.

Upon entering she saw Zim with a bored expression on his face, twirling around a stylus mindlessly with his feet on the desk. She quickly pulled out a notepad from her backpack and jotted down her number while she was being escorted to her seat. She slipped the note to him without anyone or anything noticing. She sat down and opened a text book while peeking out from behind it to see if Zim had read her note yet.

Zim hummed to himself when he saw the piece of paper littered with earth numbers that perplexed him "GAZ-HUMAN! WHY DO YOU LEAVE THIS PAPER FULL OF WRETCHED NUMBERS ON MY DESK? He shrieked

"He's such an idiot," she mumbled to herself. She looked around to see if they were going to be reprimanded by the security bots but surprisingly none of them reacted.

"If you're wondering why these inferior drones aren't reacting it's because I've dismantled their hearing receptors for the time being!" He yelled

"Why don't you just bust out of here?" She asked

"Not that it's any of your business human! But I find the solitude enjoyable! With all this security neither your Pig headed brother beast or Gir can disrupt me here" he answered

"Alright I can understand that, but while we have the chance what were you trying to tell me earlier?"

Zim ran a hand through his fake hair and smirked "Oh yes! Arcademageddon! It's a long story but the bottom line is I am required to bring you to the Giga Ripper planet for what they call 'the ultimate gaming competition' " he mocked with his claws to make air quotes

Gaz's eyes widened, sparkling with excitement before she quickly closed them and shook her head to compose herself "Oh really, I bet it's just like every other gaming competition" she scoffed

"I cannot say for certain if it's worth the trip or not as I've never attended but it's supposed to be bigger and better than Arcadikon and it lasts about one earth week, so you'll need to make preparations! I know how needy your species is" he snickered

"Who says I'm coming with you?" She asked

"Ha! You have no choice human! Believe me if I had any say in the matter you would stay here and rot with the rest of your horrid race! But since you had to make such a scene at the last Arcadikon you attended, we both have to go!"

Gaz shrugged "I mean I'm not against going but what are we going to do about Dib?"

Zim laughed evilly "Ohhh I have something in mind for that uhh Dib-Shit!"

Gaz chuckled but stopped herself and retained her pokerface "You can't kill him"

"Why not?! It would solve everything!" He yelled

"He's my brother, torturing him is fine but he needs to live to suffer another day" she explained

Zim rubbed his chin "I suppose that IS more fun"

"Of course it is, now what are you going to do?" Gaz asked

Zim rubbed his claws together, his antennae perked up from under his wig, a sharp toothed smile crept across his face "Oh trust me Gaz human, Zim will take care of everything, You just make sure you're ready for me to pick you up" he laughed maniacally

Gaz rolled her eyes "Whatever, what time?"

"Hmmm later tonight, about 8 clock earth time" he answered

"Alright it's a date" she smirked

Zim squirmed in his chair "Date?!" The last time he had heard THOSE words he was in a horrible fake relationship meant to study human affection "This is No date! This is strictly business human!" He shouted

"Relax I was just joking" she laughed

Zim huffed "You better be!"


"How is anyone going to take you seriously if you're never on time Dib!?" The Professor scolded

Dib eyebrows furrowed and arms crossed, was over the verbal lashing and the day that he had. He did his best to hold his tongue and not react, fearing the consequences wouldn't be worth it. "And the way you defy the rules, the way you turn your back on your fellow man!" Membrane continued

"Listen! Everyone else was helping her! Why did I have to!?" Dib whined

The Professor rubbed his head and sighed "Dib… you just don't get it" his cellphone buzzed and he groaned "We'll talk about this later"

Dib took a deep breath, relieved that the berating was over for the time being. He jumped up when the door opened suddenly. "Oh hey Gaz! Sorry you had to be in detention"

She avoided his gaze, KNOWING he was about to ask some annoying questions "It was alright" she said sharply

"Was… anyone else in there with you? He asked

Gaz growled "DIB! I JUST got home, leave me alone!" she stomped upstairs to her room.

"Sheesh sorry for caring" he says

She locked her bedroom door and quickly began to go through her clothes. Normally she never had the problem of never knowing what to wear but seeing as she was going to a whole other planet for a week left her confused. "It would've been nice if he told me what the conditions on the planet were!" She complained aloud. She decided she would be prepared for anything and packed both warm and cold weather clothes. She tried some outfits on, not really liking the way they looked, she didn't want to look too fancy but she also didn't want to look so casual "Since when do I give a shit?! We're just going to be gaming… right?" She moaned and groaned and tried a new hairstyle "What the hell why not?" She put her hair into two buns and braided her bangs. "Meh I guess it looks okay and it gets my hair out of my face" she observed. She studied herself in the mirror, still unsatisfied "I haven't worn eyeliner in while" she thought to herself.

"Gaz? I know you told me to leave you alone but I ordered us a pizza!" Dib shouted distantly.

Her face brightened up "Who knows how long it will be until I have pizza again?" She wondered to herself. She finished up her makeup and hurried downstairs. She rushed to the kitchen where Dib was sitting in a chair, painting his nails. "Oh hey can you paint mine next?" She snickered

"Laugh all you want sis! But I've noticed all paranormal investigators have black nails!" Dib explained

"No I'm being serious I suck at painting my nails" Gaz said

Dib looked up at her and jumped back "Gaz! is THAT why you've been acting so weird?"

Gaz raised her brow "What are you talking about?"

"Look at you! You're wearing makeup and fixed your hair all cute! And asking me to paint your nails?!" he pointed out

"What? I can't look cute!?" She asked

"You're always cute Gaz but you never TRY to be! Spill it! What's up with you?" He asked

"You're being stupid! Are you tracking the pizza? When is it supposed to be here!?"

"Don't try changing the subject Gaz! So who is it?" He asked, getting in her face "I promise I won't tell Dad! I just wanna know who it is!"

"Back off Dib!" She warned

The doorbell rang and Dib sighed "Consider yourself saved by the bell but I'm not gonna drop this Gaz!" He declared heading towards the door "As your older brother it's my job to know who you're dating" he turns around and opens the door. He doesn't see anything but then looks down to see a very poorly disguised GIR dressed as a pizza delivery man "HOWDY!!!!"

"OH GREAT! Zim's stupid robot! Did you eat the pizza you little freak!?"

"Yes! Oops I mean no! No not at allll hahahaha!" GIR giggled madly

Dib picked up the robot and shook him "I'M FUCKING STARVING and Gaz will kill me if I don't give her pizza! Now what the fuck did you do with it!?"

GIR continued laughing "~It's in the bathrooooom!~" he sang. A static noise is heard "I mean garage!"

Dib threw the little robot on the ground harshly "It better be!"

He opened the garage and stepped inside only for the door to suddenly slam shut behind him, the lights of the garage shutting off "What the f- ahhhhh!!!" He felt his arms and legs get wrapped up on metal coils. The only thing visible were what seemed like thousands of red eyes "Zim! What are you up to!?" He screamed

Echoing laughter in the darkness is heard "MUAHAHA YES IT IS I!!!!" The lights come back on to reveal the menacing Irken devoid of his disguise "Foolish Dib-Loser! Honestly could it have been any easier to trap you? This is almost embarrassing!"

"This is an all new low for you Space roach! Using my hunger against me!" Dib struggled to get free.

"It is your own fault for being so PATHETIC!!!" Zim bellowed "Now prepare yourself Dib-Shit! You remember my old friend, the robot gopher?" He asked with an evil grin

Dib shuddered "…No you wouldn't!"

"Oh yes! Look around you fool!" Zim pressed a button, and dozens of robot gophers stared at Dib with their creepy red eyes.

"NYOOO!!!!" Dib screamed

"Muahahaha!!! Yes, suffer my wrath!!! And to increase your suffering…GIR!"

the tiny robot did front flips over to his master " Yes sir!" He said in a serious tone, red eyed and ready saluting him.

"Keep an eye on this insolent beast! And play… your favorite videos for him heheheh" Zim snickered

"YAAAAAAY!!!!" GIR cheered and shot a projection from his onto the wall.

Zim looked at Dib with dripping hatred "NOW Dib! Brace your enormous ears for AUTOTUNED CAT VIDEOS!!!!!"

Dib threw his head back and screamed "NOOOOO….wait… cat videos really?"

"AUTOTUNED CAT VIDEOS!!! Their robotic purrs and cries will surely cause you immense pain!!! Accompanied of course by the pain my gophers will cause" Zim corrected "Now if you excuse me, I believe your sister is expecting me" he laughed

"Gaz? Stay away from her you-" one of the gophers bit Dib's glasses off his face, chewed up the metal and spit it in his face "Nahhhh… nooo!" He screamed

Zim shut the door behind him and was met by an annoyed Gaz "Cat videos? THAT was your diabolical plan?"

"AUTOTUNED cat videos! Do those not cause your hearing agony? I know I can't stand it for long" he answered

Gaz laughed "Nah I actually think it's funny"

"Well you said I couldn't kill him!" Zim complained

"Well I got my stuff let's go" she said motioning to her suitcase

"After you purple-human!" He said sweetly.

Both of them stepped outside before Zim stopped her short of bumping into the cloaked Voot Cruiser. He pressed a button on his watch-like device and revealed the ship. Gaz sighed "Really?"

"What?" Zim snarled

"This ship is so fuckin small! You've never once thought of upgrading it?" She asked

Zim grabbed her suitcase and opened up the backdoor of the ship "Well I'm the only one that drives it so why would I?" He asked before loading up her stuff.

"To make it cooler, roomier!" She answered

Zim scoffed "Ha! That's nearly impossible with all the interruptions I go through on a daily basis! Now get in the Voot woman! We need to leave while GIR is distracted!"

Gaz growled and entered the ship and buckled herself up. Zim sat uncomfortably close to her in the limited space available. She nudged him with her elbow while he started the ship. He growled at her and she smirked at him in response. It was going to be an interesting trip indeed…
