Ch 6 – Return to Irk (Tak's Decision)

"We're here!"

Zion threw his hands up into the air and walked along side his family, the Irken Empire crowded with beings near and far. Gaz wore the old disguise that Dib had lent to her, she walked beside Zim steadily, watching the other Irkens work and toil.

"Zim what are they all doing?" she asked

"I don't know...we usually don't work this hard..."

"It's Blue"

Zim and Gaz looked at their kids. Kirei put her hands on her hips and motioned around.

"He's taken over already and the whole planet is working to his every whim."

"But what is he trying to achieve?" Zim questioned

"He's going to take over Irk and with his super powerful army of doom...the whole universe will be his."

The two teens walked on. Zim stood in his place.

"Take over the universe? That can't happen...the entire place will be in shambles"

"That's why you and mom have to stop him before he goes too far."

Kirei led them to an abandon building and walked into a diminutive room where they decided to lay low. They sat around in a small circle and began discussing the plan.

"All you got to do is take down Tallest Blue" Zion said with a large grin.

"It's not that easy, his armies are continually growing stronger, and remember what happened back in our time..." Kirei pointed out, "...Blue's partner took out everyone."

Gaz raised an eyebrow in interest, "Partner? So this guy has a mate?"

Kirei nodded, "Yes, a very powerful one too, but we've never seen her face. She wears a long purple cape with a hood, and carries a large laser. She killed you, dad, Uncle Dib..."

"What about Tak? Did this mate kill her too?"

"No, actually Aunt Tak went missing shortly after Alex and Keiko were born. We still haven't found her."

As if on queue Zim's talkie chimed.

"Hello?"

"Zim? It's Dib, I've found Tak and we're here on Irk. Where can we meet?"

Zim continued talking to Dib while the rest resumed the story; Gaz was thoroughly interested in what was going on.

Shortly after, Dib and Tak arrived at their little hideout. Dib was also in an Irken disguised that he had fashioned for himself. Tak sat as far away from Zim as possible and glared at him angrily.

Zim sighed, "Tak can't we just get over what happened? I mean it was so long ago and the Tallests are dead now..."

"Shut up Zim! You're such an idiot!"

"DON'T CALL MY BOYFRIEND AN IDIOT YOU BITCH!"

"DON'T CALL ME A BITCH YOU BITCH!"

The couples began fighting; Zion took out his gun and fired some shots in the air, silencing them.

"Everybody chill, we're here to help one another not fight each other."

His sister agreed.

"Yeah so listen up, the plan is to sneak into the huge tower, and get a surprise attack on Blue! We'll have to take out the security and the SIR units too. Mom is an expert at technology and mechanics, so mom and I will take care of that. Everyone else will head on in and take out anything that gets in the way."

Everyone stared blankly.

"Ok now that that's settled lets all get some rest!" she smiled happily and pulled out some comforters.

Later on that night, everyone slumbered. Dib was still wide awake, hanging out by the window and staring into the sky.

"It's different than it is on your planet isn't it?"

He turned his head and saw Tak, she approached him slowly then took a seat beside him, staring up at the night sky.

"Yeah it's real different. At night our skies are black and dotted with stars and planets. The sky on Irk is blood red, and all I see is the Milky Way and the moon."

"I see"

Her voice trailed off slightly, Dib felt her fingers curl around his arm and take hold. He let her do so. They sat in silence, admiring the view.

"You know what Tak?"

"What?"

Dib smiled, "I feel really content with you. I always thought human and alien relationships were disturbing, just by watching Zim and Gaz. Then I heard that crack about me and you ending up together. I had a change of heart."

Tak looked at him.

"If you hadn't of heard that so called crack, would you have had a change of heart anyway?"

Dib thought for a moment, the orange moonlight shining against his jet black hair, giving him that mysterious glow that Tak seemed to find so fascinating.

"I always sort of, had a crush on you. Since the first day you showed up on Earth. The talks we had about Zim and the interests we shared. Even though they might have been fake, they seemed so real. Then when you left, I began to miss you. I always wondered if you were ok."

Tak listened; a lump got caught in her throat. She felt her body flushed over with heat and embarrassment. What were these feelings? It was all so new, so different...but so right.

"Dib, you really did worry about me didn't you?"

"I sure did, every day I asked myself 'Is Tak ok? I wonder if she's thinking of me.' And now, you're here..." he smiled brightly, "...and I'm glad"

She smiled back slightly, then turned away staring at the ground.

"Dib I don't think you should depend on what those kids said, it could be all lies."

"Why would our own children lie to us?"

"You don't know if they're our kids!"

"They are! Our son looks like me and our daughter she looks so much like her mother, like you Tak..."

She blushed and looked away again.

"You...you don't know what you're talking about! You're just living in a fantasy world!"

"Tak..."

She looked into his eyes, tears starting to appear in her own.

"You're a good person Dib, but WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER!"

She stood up quickly and ran out the door.

"TAK!"

Everyone woke up startled. Zim looked at Dib.

"What happened?"

Dib stared at the open doorway, and the fading image of Tak. He felt the pit of his stomach drop to the floor, his heart shattered. He bowed his head low as tears began to come into his eyes.
