A/N: Woo... This is a chapter I've been planning for a while. This will be the last chapter of the story. I am pleased with all the reviews I've received. I thank you all. Oh, and Akari Takai, I'm sorry for not being able to talk to you. It's been hectic, and I am sorry.
Song Ordinary World is by Duran Durans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world, somehow I have to find. And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world, I will learn to survive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tak had confidence. Dib could never get rid of her. She was superior. But one thing worried her; she had no idea what was going to happen. Unless Dib talked directly to her, she couldn't get any information from him. And although Dib was a bit stupid, he knew that it's generally a bad idea to reveal your plan to kill your enemy in front of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zim knew that his time was coming, even without the Dib speaking. This Dib was merciless. The dreadful images played in his head. Zim felt himself... getting ready. He didn't know for what. His pulse raced, the green blood in his veins were gathering in his face and other places, he couldn't think straight, he couldn't think about what to do, or how to do it, or even why were these feelings clouding his impeccable judgment. Dib's lanky frame, newly cut hair, and even his bespectacled face were enticing. What could do this? Why did he even think of that stupid plan that had made him... FEEL. Why couldn't he been free of these emotions? Innocence was so taken for granted. There were hallucinations of placing his long tongue on Dib's chest, licking up his salty skin down until he reached the prize... (A/N: *gagging and coughing and gagging and coughing*)
All he could see the Dib, and he knew what this meant, and what the punishment was.
"I love you Dib, and damn the filthy fucking Irken Empire!"
But all he saw was Dib laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally. Zim revealed his true self. This was perfect. And she had this recorded now. She could now get the Tallests to kill him! Her joy spread out to Dib's body and caused him to involuntarily laugh. Her joy weakened her hold on Dib, who quickly grabbed the chance to regain himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"NO! ZIM! DON'T LOVE ME! SHE'LL KILL YOU!" Dib knew that this was time. He had to get rid of Tak from his body now. Dib conjured up all his willpower and thrust it at Tak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The filthy human was fighting back! The nerve of the moron! No will can defeat one of the Irkens! Their wills clashed with fury, neither gaining one side over the other, while Zim just watched Dib lose consciousness and fall down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zim saw Dib fall. And that's all it took. He dived down and caught Dib in his arms, a bit funny since Zim is much shorter than Dib. "You filthy Dib monster, if you only knew how much I wished I didn't."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dib heard Zim's voice... and he gained strength from it. Tak growled, and increased the strength of her attack. But she was weakening, being in this body was already tiring and she only had her burning cold spite to fuel her. This stupid little Earth child would not beat her. No how, no way. No fucking way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something in Zim's mind stirred. Before the Irken Empire killed him, he'd like one. Just one. A kiss. Between him and the Dib. One that would last forever. One that was shared between them with no hate. No masks. Only truth. He leaned over and placed his lips over Dib's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dib felt the honesty and truth of Zim's love suddenly. They would be together now. Nothing would stop them. Nothing would separate them. Not the Tallests, not the humans, not even the fact they were the same gender and of different species. The only thing that mattered now was that Zim loved him, and he loved him back. And by God, Dib would not let him die because of the simple truth.
The power he felt... it was stronger than any other. Nothing could stop it. And no one would ever hurt Zim or him again. Dib pushed all of the force of his will toward Tak, and forced her away out of his body.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dib regained consciousness, staring into the eyes of Zim. Tak was gone. But something still didn't feel right. He looked behind him and saw a ghostly visage of Tak, floating in midair. Zim looked up too, and his jaw dropped. "Tak, you're supposed to be dead!"
"I know I'm supposed to be dead, stupid, I AM." Tak snapped which sounded silly with her now ethereal British voice. "I won't be stopped because of a tiny inconvenience. The Irken armada will know of your betrayal. They WILL. Mark my words. I may not come back, but there is no hope for you!" Tak's body dissipated, when she spoke her final words, "No traitor of the Irken Empire lives for long...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zim and Dib watched Tak disappear. Her meddling had brought them together forever, and despite their differences, nothing would be able to pick them apart. The kiss they shared was the only true one so far, but it would not be the last.
The End.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Boy, that chapter sure was romancy. I had fun writing it. I made it long for you readers. I will post a thank you chapter and epilogue sometime this week. I hope you enjoyed this fic. Maybe I'll write a sequel... once an idea pops in my head. Thank you all! I can't believe I finished this one. *Starts crying* I finished a fic!
