YEE!! Yeah, that was fun and all, but now for some MADNESS! R&R!!!

(Oh, and forgive me if Red and/or Purple get WAY out of Char, okay? ;-;!!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



The meeting ended, and everyone knew all of the planets that they were eligible to be sent to for the time, "And now... to introduce... the NEW IRKEN TALLESTS!" Xajk announced over the restless crowd. "Please welcome... Tallest Purple and Tallest Red!!!" he said, signaling the two to come out onto the stage.

The two new Irken Tallests rode out onstage on a floating pedestal thing, dressed in their new uniforms. Purple smiled to Red, " Wow... I never thought THIS day would come! And we're still the same height! We'll be together constantly now forever!" he beamed, waving madly like an over- exited child. Red looked over to him, "Yes..." He sighed, then smiled to the crowd. "We are the new RULERS of the entire Irken race..." He said, staring dazedly out into the crowd. Red raised his claws to wave along with Purple, and the crowd cheered loudly at them in response. Meeki looked up to see Red standing as one of the new Tallests, and he gasped a bit, 'Red...? Him...? Wow... I never would've thought...' he mused silently, and smirked slightly to himself. Purple and Red waved a bit some more, approaching Xajk and the rest of the Irken race, before putting their claws to their sides. Meeki's eyes fell onto Xajk again, and he frowned. 'Thank IRK you're leaving... You'll be gone for good... I'll never have to see your anger-infusing face again! ...'

'You're taking to long to leave... I should help...!' Meeki's thoughts raced, and he stood up, leaving every bit of sanity in him behind...

As the pedestal supporting the new Tallests landed and they stepped off, a large glowing blade came up out of nowhere, and right before everyone's eyes, former tallest Xajk's head was sliced clear off his shoulders. The entire Irken race grew silent instantly, gaping in horror at what had just happened. Some blood splattered on to Meeki's face, and he grew a shade paler, coming back to his senses. Everyone stared as the blade returned to its owner. The blade was clutched tightly in Meeki's claws. He dropped the blade, and fell to his knees. Red twitched with disgust and surprise to Meeki, not even wanting to hear any excuses from the Irken. He turned to the audience, "Okay! Our FIRST act as Tallest... will be to EXILE this murderer of former Tallest XAJK!!!" he said, before anyone could even mention to kill Meeki on the spot. For reasons only he knew from the past, and his own hatred for Xajk, Red had not wanted Meeki to die before him. The crowd cheered aloud as Meeki was then dragged away by two very large Irken guards, back to the prison chambers, and the traditional ceremony for new Tallest's was of course, postponed until they had everything cleaned up and straightened out, and everyone was calmed down.

Tears brimmed Zim's crimson eyes as he was forced to stay back from the murdering Irken, Meeki. '...Why...?'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Zim's eyes grew wide with dispair. "Meeki, why did you do it?!" he begged through Meeki's sealed cell that night. Meeki sat in silence, his jet-black eyes glowing slightly in the dim light of the moons. Zim felt tears stain his face. He wanted to be in there with Meeki, he wanted to hold him in his arms one last time..... In the morning, he'd never see him again. "Zim... go away... I don't want you caught in here... I don't deserve your concern..." Meeki mumbled. "Meeki... I don't want you to go... I want... I want to hold you in my arms... one last time... please... take me in your place... I'll go... I want you to get your old position as an Irken soldier back... Meeki, I want you to at least have a chance to make it back to what you wanted to be in the first place... with your rank and pride intact" Zim began to cry openly now. Meeki looked up at Zim after a while. "Heh... my pride will never be torn from me... Zim... you deserve a chance to become an Invader... it's your dream... love shouldn't stand in the way of that. Just go without me... I know you can succeed... and when you return... hopefully our paths will cross once again and we can be together forever. But, anything that happens to me, just remember..." He reached through the bars and ran a claw softly down Zim's cheek, as Zim held Meeki's hand tightly, crying against it, "I will always love you..." Meeki finished, and brought his claw back, sighing. Zim stared deeply into Meeki's eyes with his bright Crimson orbs and sighed as well. "...It's embedded in my brain..." he said. Meeki smiled slightly.

About ten minutes later, Zim had gone and a few guards stepped in to Meeki's cell. "It's time to go... Come on" they lead him into the sorting hall. "?" Meeki wondered to himself, 'why am I in here?' Tallest Red and purple stepped forward to him. "You, have murdered former tallest Xajk... for this you must be banished to EXILE!!" Red started.

"Yes, but there IS an easier way to fix." Tallest Purple began to speak before Red throwing him a hateful glare. "HE will be BANISHED to EXILE!" Red finished his sentence before, "...but where to send you...?" Tallest Purple narrowed an eye to his fellow Tallest, but said nothing. The two Tallests turned to the big map of the universe and thought for a while. Meeki watched intently as the two conversed with one another. "All right! We have chosen... you, Meeki, will be sent to... here!" they announced. Before anything happened, Meeki noticed the slight frown on Red's face, then watched it form into a non-convincing smile. "Right... now... goodbye!" Tallest Purple shouted, grinning. A trapdoor under Meeki opened up and he fell into the special reserved ships area. Meeki was met with two more guards and placed into a random Voot Cruiser and its coordinates for 'the mystery planet', and he was sent on his way, never to return again.
