Chapter Eight-
Rei yelped, and jumped in the air as Zim's cry cut through the air. Purple stopped screaming and looked at Zim, who glared back at them, defiantly.
"Why am I here?!" he snapped.
Purple scowled. "We where about-!"
"Why am I tied up!?!"
"BECAUSE-"
"WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER MEE?!?! GAAAH!!!"
Zim screamed as his doppleganger grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off the couch.
"We where about to ask YOU all those questions, Empire Scum!"
Zim looked as if he where about to yell something in response, but his eyes widened, and his jaw opened in shock as he looked at his doppleganger. A moment passed in which they both stared at each other's identical red eyes. Suddenly, Zim gritted his teeth in anger.
"What treachery is this!?!" he yelled angrily.
Zim pushed him back onto the couch.
"Why don't you enlighten us, CLONE!?!" he snapped back.
Zim spazzed a bit, as he yelled, "I am no clone!!! YOU ARE!!!! WHY!?!? There can only be ONE ZIM!!! Too much perfection would overwhelm the universe's masses!!"
Rei let out a paroxism of laughter at that. Zim glared at her.
"What!?"
Rei stopped laughing and stared at him.
"What is so funny!?!"
"Weeeell...." she said in a coy tone of voice. After a moment, she leaped behind Purple, screaming, "ZIM, IT'S TALKING TO MEE!!!"
Zim walked over to the captive, and shook him roughly.
"Enough, Clone! Answer me! What are you doing here!? What is the Empire doing!?!"
Zim wiggled unhappily in his bonds.
"Release me! What is the meaning of this?! Why am I being held captive!? Why was I cloned!?! WHO ARE YOU!?!?!"
Zim stared at Zim, expressionless, and Zim stared back, eyes wide with anger, yet also, interest. Zim glanced over at Purple and Rei, releasing his hold.
"He really has no idea what's going on!" he exclaimed in awe.
"Of COURSE I don't!!"
Rei walked up to him. "So... what now?"
"Now you will release me!! NOW!!!"
Purple looked at him, blankly. "First of all, what and who are you?"
Zim looked at him , about to answer, but it was then that he saw who he was talking to. His eyes widened in shock at the realization of who he had been yelling at.
"My Tallest! I- I- I... What are you doing here? Where is Tallest Red?" he paused lightly, and added, humbly, "I apologize for my behaviour, my Tallest. It was unbefitting to an Invader, and I should have done better. But I was in a defensive state of mind! I hope I am pardoned..."
Rei looked up at Purple, a question in her eyes. Zim looked at himself on the couch, and thought how sickeningly submissive he seemed. Purple stared at Zim.
"Don't. Call. Me. That." he said, his voice broken and wavering.
Zim looked up at Purple, a shocked look in his eyes. "Yes... Your Tallness."
"No! Call me Purple! PURPLE!!! Waaaait... why do you even THINK I am a... tall-thingy!? Is it not known that I declared my rebellion from the Empire long ago? Or are they keeping that from you too??"
Zim stared at Purple, slight panic coming into his eyes. "My.... erm.... Purple, what are you talking about!? You're delirious! Why, just last week I saw you and my Tallest Red!"
Purple stared at him. Rei stared at him. Zim looked at Purple.
"So. You where with Red... last week?" he asked. His eyes suddenly narrowed in suspicion and anger. "Explain this to me! Why where you with the enemy!?"
"Enemy!?" Zim asked in surprise. "Wait! You're... you're... I see now! I see perfectly! YOU'RE REBELS!!! And you have been cloned with the DNA of some of the most powerful Irkens ever! Me, ZIM, and Almighty Tallest Purple!!! REBEL SCUM, HOW DARE YOU!?!"
Purple looked at everyone and yelled, "No! Don't beleive him! I was not with the enemy! I would never betray the Resistance! Rei, tell them! Tell them!!! Rei?"
Rei lunged forward to Zim, and grabbed something from his pocket.
"Don't TOUCH ME!!!" Zim screeched, but Rei turned away, a small vial in her hand. She looked at it with interest, turning it over in her hands.
Zim glared at her back, and snapped, "What is that? Give that back! What did you take!?! Why...."
Zim trailed off, and stared at Rei's back. His left eye twitched, and he suddenly backed away in his bonds, screaming.
"AAAAAAAH!! IT'S HORRIBLE!!! IT'S... IT'S... IT'S NOT IRKEN!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"
Rei swung around and stared at him. "What? What is it?"
Purple looked at Zim, who shrugged in response. Suddenly, the sound of the oven door opening could be heard from the kitchen, and a very annoyed looking Rin walked into the room.
She looked over at the frantic Irken on the couch, and walked over to him. She then began poking him over and over again.
"Make it shut up!" she wailed. " It's loud."
Zim stopped abruptly, and looked at her. He immeadetly began screaming again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Rin scowled and looked at her companions. "Why is it screaming?" she asked angrily.
"I don't know." Rei responded. "I was looking at him, and saw this THING in his pocket, so I went to get it, and when I turned around, it started screaming."
Purple hissed lightly. The screaming was starting to get to his antenna. He strode over to the couch, and gave Zim a sharp twack on the head, which caused him to shut up and grimace painfully.
Zim looked at them all and asked, in a horrofied whisper, "What are you?"
Rin shrugged. "Irkens. Rebellious Irkens." she answered.
Zim shook his head. "Where... where are your.... PAKs??" he asked.
Zim looked at him. Rin looked up at Purple. Rei backed away, slowly.
"....PAKs??" Purple finally asked in a confused voice.
Zim closed his eyes, and turned away. Of course, you must understand that on Irk, seeing someone without a PAK is like you seeing someone with no head. Which is just plain disturbing.
Rei cleared her throat loudly. "Weeeeell... back to business! What is this?" she questioned, holding the vial in front of Zim's face.
He slowly opened his eyes, and stared at it. Oddly enough, he couldn't remember.
"Erm... I forget... soda, I think..."
Rin smiled and snatched the vial from Rei's hand.
"Yeees!! Soda!" she exclaimed, holding the vial.
Meanwhile, Zim stared at it, deep in remembarance. Was it soda? He remembered someone telling him... wait, what had happened before this? Zim pondered deeply.
'Well,' he thought to himself. 'I remember a light... a noise? Someone...'
Zim looked at his surroundings, and then his eyes fell on the still unconcious forms of Dib and Gaz on the opposite couch. Suddenly, it all came rushing back to him... the device, Skool, the vial... the vial!
He looked at Rin, and saw, to his horror, that she was holding the vial up to her lips.
She drank deeply.
Zim winced, and closed his eyes, waiting from the scream.
"....Mmmmm! That was... not bad... different!" Rin exclaimed happily.
Zim opened his eyes in shock. "Didn't it hurt you?" he asked her in surprised awe.
Rin stared back at him, oddly. "Noooo.... why would it hurt me?"
Zim shook his head. "Listen!" he snapped. "I think I know what is happening!"
Zim, who had been silent for quite a while now, scoffed.
"DUH! Of COURSE you know what's going on! TELL US!!!"
Zim stared at him, arrogantly.
"Very well."
He drew himself up proudly.
"I... Am from a parallel dimension!" he stated loudly. "I was planning on using a device I made, to send all my enemies to their DOOM! But, obviously, Dib's disproportioned head messed everything up! As usual! So, I got sucked into this too! And, obviously, in this dimension, Irkens do not use PAKs, and there are some that would stoop as low as to rebel against their Empire!" he finished, glaring daggers at everyone.
Silence.
Even more silence.
Rin's eyes where wide, and she said, in a hushed, awed voice, "That... makes perfect sense!!!"
Zim looked at everyone. "Yes it does. But it might not be true. I think we need to run a few tests first!" he grinned evilly at Zim, who gulped quietly.
Suddenly, Purple snickered. "Hey. If a quiz is quizzical, what is a test?"
Rei thought for a moment. Then she burst out laughing.
Rin thought about it, then frowned in disgust. "Ew. How pervertedly witty of you, Purple."
Zim shook his head.
Zim, however, looked around at all of them. "Huh? Wha? I don't get it! EXPLAIN TO ZIM!!!"
Rin looked as if she was about to answer, when another sound interrupted the atmosphere yet again. Everyone looked at the other couch, as Dib's frame began shifting around, and he sat up, weakly.
Dib looked around, and paused in horrror at the sight of 5 Irkens in the room.
He began breathing heavily in fear, and murmured hoarsely to himself.
"Oh... fuck...."
End Chapter

O_o
Now, before you say anything, yes, I know Dib's a nice little spunkster that would not usually cuss, but think about it: He just woke up, in an unfamiliar room, with 5 aliens. Yeup.
I hope this was not so very confusing. I mean, with two Dibs and two Gazzes and two Zims, things are bound to get a bit out of control. Ah well. I am trying. xD
SO. Questions? Comments? Please, no death threats. Review, review, review! ^^
