Author's Note: Hi everyone, this is NoroLimAsfaloth, the other author of this story. Hear that? I co-wrote it. And edited it. Remember that, because there might be a few questions on that later...Anyway, so here's chapter two. It is the shortest of all of them (we've already written chapter 3, we, actually I, just need to edit it). Enjoy...

--------------------

Where is it? Tak thought, staring out the front of her ship, searching for Earth somewhere in the vast nothingness of space. Once the Tallest had supplied her with a top-class ship, and MiMi had been repaired, the two had set off on their mission. They had been traveling for several months now; and should have arrived at ZIM's location a day ago.

And suddenly, there it was: a fairly small planet, compared to what Tak had seen. It was a mix of greens and blues, unlike Irk. Tak smiled at the thought of destroying the planet's only Irken inhabitant, and began to guide her ship towards Earth.

She found the oddly shaped, large piece of land that she had once before tried to steal her enemy's mission on and, remembering the coordinates the Tallest had given her, Tak lowered her ship down to the ground and looked around for any familiar sightings. Everything seemed the same as she had seen it before. Same buildings, roads, oblivious life forms...

Tak turned to her robot. "MiMi, turn on the holographic image we made and guard the ship. I am going to go find a place to hide it," she said. MiMi nodded.

Tak opened the hatch, turned on her holographic disguise, and stepped out onto Earth. The only things she had changed on her disguise from her old disguise were her hair color, which was now a deep purple instead of a dark blue, and her height, which was now a few inches taller. She could have changed it completely, but the people on this planet were so inattentive, why did it matter? The Irken began to walk down the sidewalk, looking for somewhere that her ship would not be disturbed in. She did not have to look long.

After only about ten minutes, something caught Tak's eye from across the street. She quickly walked towards it, and threaded through a few buildings until she came to what she wanted.

Giving a slight grin, Tak looked up at what would soon host her ship. A huge, warehouse loomed in front of her. Its doors were open, and nothing was inside. "Perfect," Tak said to herself. Turning around, she headed back to the ship and MiMi.

On the way there, Tak thought of ZIM. How was she going to get rid of him? Shrugging, she decided to figure that out later. Would he recognize her? She shook her head. No, he was too stupid. She turned to new faces: Dib and his sister. They were the only ones she had not been able to hypnotize last time. His sister Tak hated—she had sprayed her with some strange liquid and Tak suspected she had had something to do with destroying her plan, but Dib? She had kind of liked him for the short time that she had been around. He had actually had a brain, unlike the other people on his pitiful planet. She hoped she could talk to him before she left again.

Before she could ponder anything else, her ship appeared in front of her as she turned a corner. She hurried to it, and climbed in the hatch. MiMi saluted; Tak started up the ship and easily piloted it over the city and into the warehouse she had found before. Lowering the ship to the floor, she turned it off and the two aliens descended from their vehicle. MiMi transformed into her new lavender cat disguise as she touched the ground. Tak narrowed her purple eyes and focused her thoughts on a certain Irken. "ZIM. Find him," she told MiMi, and they headed off.

"And now we have Moschelle Montopofelina and Dan Bakitus from..." the host from Mysterious Mysteries announced as Dib watched yet another tape of his favorite show. He stared at the TV, fascinated.

If you had watched Dib grow up throughout the years, you would not have noticed much change. Sure, maybe he had gotten taller and his ridiculous hair spike had grown longer, but he was still the same paranormal interested outcast as he had always been.

Dib looked up as he heard impatient banging on the door. He sighed and paused the tape.

Walking over, he opened it. Dib rolled his eyes as he saw who was at the door. "What is it, ZIM?" he asked, annoyed.

"Nice try, Dib!" The alien barged into the house, almost knocking his enemy over.

"I don't know what-"

"YES YOU DO!" ZIM pointed a finger in Dib's face accusingly. "You think I'm stupid don't you?"

"Well, yeah," Dib snorted.

Ignoring his comment, ZIM went on. "You know the Irken ship you created a model of?"

"Huh?"

ZIM interrupted him. "You tried to trick me with it!"

Dib shook his head. "What? I really don't know what you're talking about, Spaceboy. And how could I fool you with an unrealistic ship?"

ZIM shrugged. "Then how did it get there?!" He put his hands on his hips, trying to look intimidating.

"How would I know?" Dib said to the alien, "What's it anyway?"

"The Irken ship that just landed here," ZIM said impatiently.

"The Irken ship?" Dib echoed.

"Yes," ZIM said bluntly.

"Oh, well what do you want me to do about it?" Dib asked, quickly tiring of ZIM's ramblings.

"Nothing. ZIM needs no help! ZIM is very capable of doing...things," ZIM answered. Dib looked at him blankly, offering no response.

"Very well then, DIB. I must leave now." ZIM announced and left the house. Dib sighed, shut the door, and went back to watching Mysterious Mysteries.

--------------------

MiMi led the way to ZIM's "laboratory." They arrived quickly, and stood looking at the pitiful outwardly appearance of it. Tak smirked. It was almost as if ZIM wanted to be killed.

As she gazed at the deformed green house, she contemplated all possible ways to kill ZIM. It would not be hard; he was so pathetic anything would work. MiMi could probably do it herself, if Tak let her. But first, she had some spying to do.

Author's Note: It's me again... I have a quiz for everyone to answer in the reviews.

1) Who co-wrote this story?

2) Who edited this story?

There you go; I hope you liked the chapter.

Pirate Monkey: She went a little nuts when she found out that I did not put her name in bold when I said she was the co-writer. Anyway, we are unsatisfied with the title of this story and would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest a few title ideas in your reviews. Thank you for your service!
