Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Invader Zim or any of the merchandise… other than the Invader Zim stuff I do own (DVD's, GIR stuff toy, comics, etc). If I did, you would be able to tell, trust me! And no, I'm not making any money off this so please don't sue, because all you would be able to get is a bottle of ALE8, this messed up computer, ten cents and some gum…

Battle for Irk

Chapter 1:

The Beginning of a Long, Long War.

By Ronin S. Oath

Invader Tenn had lost all hope of conquering Meekrob ever since she received the defective SIR units. Now she is being held prisoner on Meekrob.

She listened carefully to two Meekrob speaking. "And then she wakes up in the cell!" the Meekrob laugh as if they had heard an almost dangerous joke.

Tenn looks irritated, she listens to two other Meekrob who are actually worth listening to. "They don't suspect a thing. The Irkens will rue the day they messed with the Meekrob," said one Meekrob.

"Yes, it shall all be worth while, but I doubt we can do this alone….." said the other.

Tenn is shocked. Her head hangs in sorrow, knowing she can do nothing.

Skooge bursts through Zim's door, and he collapses on the floor, panting heavily.

"Well Skooge," Zim said slowly, "at first I thought you were just a worthless stink monkey! But apparently I was wrong… you are now worthy enough to join Zim." Zim smiles and closes his eyes, yet Skooge lies on the ground, not responding. Zim sighs and begins to walk out the door. "Well, I gotta get going now," said Zim.

"Where?" asked Skooge wearily.

"Skool, I have to go there to receive filthy Earth knowledge. Well, see ya." Zim walked out the door.

The Tallest are seen with a transmission. On the screen is an Invader covered in small, biting aliens.

"But Sirs, they have excruciatingly long and painful teeth!" screamed the Invader.

"To them biting is a sign of initiation." Replied Tallest Red.

"Cut the transmission," called Tallest Purple. "Does he know about the really dangerous venom?" Tallest Purple questioned once the transmission was cut.

"Good question," replied Tallest Red as he looked back to Tallest Purple.

Both broke out in a laughing fit.

Just then, the Tallest received another transmission. On the screen the Meekrob Emperor was displayed. "Well, well, well, if isn't the Irken Empire. I just thought that I would tell you we have a prisoner," the Meekrob Emperor moved to reveal a Tenn who had lost all hope, she sighed slightly as the Meekrob Emperor moved back in front of the screen. "We wanted to settle this peacefully, but apparently 'peace' isn't a word you Irken understand." The Emperor laughs manically as the transmission is cut.

The Tallest stare at the black screen for a moment as what the Meekrob Emperor said registers in their minds… Then they instantly start screaming and flailing about insanely.

Tallest Red slowly regains his sanity and calls out, "Invaders Heather, Jak, Jolene, Ronin, and Tee front and center…"

The five Invaders instantly appear in front of Tallest Red.

"Sir!" Invaders Jak and Ronin say at the same time.

"My Tallest?" questions Invaders Heather and Jolene.

"Um… Yea?" came Invader Tee's question at last.

Tallest Purple hovers over to Tallest Red. "Are you sure we can trust them?" he questions as he looks down upon the group of Invaders.

"These Invaders are the top Irken has to offer… And besides, all the other Invaders are on their missions for Impending Doom 2," replies Tallest Red.

"What did they do that was so great?" questions Tallest Purple.

"Invader Heather is one of the engineers who helped solve the power problem Zim caused on planet Devastis."

Invader Heather saluted.

"Invader Jak conquered Food Courtia during Operation Impending Doom 1."

Invader Jak saluted.

"Invader Jolene is part of the elite forces that helped enslave the inhabitants of planet Vort."

Invader Jolene saluted.

"Invader Ronin is the engineer who created the advanced SIR units for Operation Impending Doom 2."

Invader Ronin saluted.

"And Invader Tee…" Tallest Red paused, then leaned in close to Tallest Purple and whispered, "we just need to get rid of her." Tallest Red took a normal standing position.

Invader Tee blinked a few times as both of the Tallest stood looking down on her. "Hiiiiiiiii!"

"I see…" whispered Tallest Purple. "She's just like Zim… Only female…"

Invaders Heather, Jak, Jolene, and Ronin take a step away from Invader Tee.

"Exactly," replied Tallest Red.
