Red's eyes snapped open. Purple was still standing before him, and still wasn't facing him.
"Purple?"
Goodbye…
Purple's sad voice echoed through the room as he slowly turned around. Red saw a glimpse of Purple's black eyes, before he seemed to blow away in an unfelt wind, like was made of no more than grains of sand.
Red closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, he sighed.
"You were wrong. I will see you again…"
Red, Chasidy and Gir stood on a grass-covered hill, and looked over the city as the Earth's sun began to rise.
Red looked down at the Human girl.
"You realise that we may never see each other again." He said quietly.
"I know. But… you never really know what the future may have in store, do you? And who knows? Even Purple may… come back to this place one day."
As she spoke, her voice changed. It became softer, sweeter… barely a whisper.
Red looked back at the sunrise.
Chasidy looked up at her Irken friend. He seemed different…
She smiled.
"I'll be right here. And I'll be waiting for you… and Purple, to return."
Red closed his eyes.
"No you won't."
Before Chasidy could say another word, Red ran his long fingers through her brown hair, and the world faded away.
Red looked down at the Earth though the window of the Massive. It looked so peaceful, so content. He put his hand on the glass.
"No more. No more suffering, no more hurt. I owe him that much."
Red's eyes began to glow, and then, it began to rain. The rain glittered, and shined as the sun tried to break through it.
All over the world, people left their homes, and stood in the golden rain, arms spread and faces towards the sky, praising their gods. All people let the rain wet their faces, and wash the day's worries away.
But that is not all that was washed away.
Hatred, greed, envy, shame. The greatest sins of man and Irken alike were washed from the humans as the golden rain caressed their bodies.
And for those that knew Zim? Their memories of the Irken were washed away with their sins. To the humans, it was now like he never existed. Any documents that mentioned Zim or the Irken race vanished.
The golden rain filled rivers where they were dry, and created them where there were none. It filled lakes and ponds across the planet, and fed all the plants, filling them with a new energy; a new life.
The Earth was born again.
Red could not help but smile, as he looked down over the Earth as it glowed with new life. He turned, and looked at the Irken people behind him.
"We have been blind." He said quietly. "No more will the Irken Empire take worlds from others. We will give back the worlds we have taken, and help restore them. Then, we shall return to Irk."
There was a quiet murmur from the small group of Irkens before him.
"Forgive me, My Tallest, but, why?" One asked after a short while.
"Because in our quest to conquer the universe, we never saw the harm it did. We caused more anguish and suffering than we were ever to realise."
"So we are retreating? Pulling back in the middle, letting our guilt take us away from our right?" A stubborn one shouted.
The other Irken in the room expected Red to explode, as was his nature. But he just stood quietly, his face hidden by the shadow he cast from the light of the Earth behind him.
"There is to be no more hurting." He said finally. "No more suffering. This war we had sought to win was started by us. It is our right to end it, and nothing more."
Even the stubborn Irken was swayed. Perhaps… this was a change for the better.
The End.
