Whoa! The few reviews I'm getting say this is good. So… I'm gonna keep going.

Note: The Bleach cast is WAY larger than the IZ cast. However, the Jhonen-verse cast? Not one bit. This is where the OOC comes in. I'll keep things as much in character as I can, but circumstances will not always allow it… so be kind. I'm always up for a good round of flaming, but personal attacks will not be tolerated. Criticism good, being a jerk bad.

Dib woke up the next morning, his entire body sore. He rubbed his eyes, and the back of his head. What a crazy dream… he thought to himself. It sure had been crazy, with the girl in his room, the rat-monster, the bit about Invaders…

His hand, which had been scratching the back of his neck, moved down his back and hit something. Dib's eyes snapped open.

The pak.

The pak was still on his body.

Which meant…

He ran downstairs, throwing his clothes on as he went. Just as he was tugging his trench coat on (which surprisingly, went UNDER the pak) he saw the kitchen wall.

The hole from last night was still there.

"… Imagine, a truck running through our wall like that and us sleeping through it." Membrane was examining the damage, while small robots began repairing around it.

Gaz made a non-committal sound as she ate her Frankenchokies.

"Dad! Last night! The monster, and the Invader, and-"

"Now, son, this is no time for your crazy parascience talk. A truck ran through our front wall last night!"

Dib's shoulders sagged. Leave it to his family to not remember anything.

He finally entered the classroom at brunch, around 10:30. "Dib!" barked Ms. Bitters, "you're late. AGAIN! What's your excuse this time?"

"Don't have one," he said dejectedly as he slid down into his seat. The teacher scowled, hissed, then went back behind her desk.

A shadow fell over Dib. "Late again, huh?" He turned around, and looked up into the face of a girl with two hot pink ponytails. Her angular face in his, she cocked her head to one side. "You're gonna get detention one of these days, you know."

"Nice to see you too, Devi," he grumbled, turning to face the other way. But instead of being able to sulk, he was startled as a rubber skeleton was shoved into his face. The hand holding it began squeezing the crap out of it, making an incessant squeaking without end.

"Tenna, one of these days you are going to find Spooky in a garbage can. Without his head."

Tenna turned to Devi, grinning. "Aw, you need to get out more. Hey, what did you bring for lunch?"

Devi just stared at her, unblinking.

"Oh, right. Hey, Dib!" Tenna turned again to face him. "Didja know we have a new student?" She pulled a short girl from somewhere else and plonked her in front of Dib. "Her name's Tak!"

Dib's jaw dropped. The invader from last night – Tak – was HERE. In school. She extended a hand to him. "Nice to meet you," she said, smiling a bit. He reached out to shake her hand, when he saw what she had written on it.

Say anything and you will face your doom.

She had included a little scary-happy face.

Sweating, Dib shook her hand. "Nice to meet you to, uh, Tak."

"Great!" shrieked Tenna. "Now that we all know each other, we can go get some noodles after school!"

Before anyone could respond, a large shadow came behind Dib. He turned around, and brightened a bit.

"Hey guys," he said, facing his friends (if you could call them that. Truth be told, they were particularly harsh on him in elementary Skool. But things had gotten better as everyone had learned self-control by high skool.) He turned back to Tak, gesturing at the three boys. "Umm…" he began, "Tak, I'd like you to meet Smacky, Melvin, and The Letter M."

She raised an eyebrow. "Those are your names?"

Smacky snorted. "Tsh… yeah. So?"

Their conversation was interrupted by a harsh cough from Ms. Bitters. Brunch was over.

After school, Dib and Tak walked towards his house. "Okay, I don't want to sound rude, but why are you here, Tak?"

"Because you took my power. I can't return to the Massive without it. So, because of that, I'm being forced to stay in a fake body. Not exactly pleasant for me, you know." She cast him a side-long glance. "I can't do my job at all, not while you have my powers."

"Well, that sucks."

"Which is why you are going to do my job for me." And without warning, she jammed on black, fingerless glove with a red Irken insignia on it, and rammed her hand into Dib's chest. With a brilliant flash, Dib's body and spirit separated. The normal Dib fell to the ground with a thud. The Invader Dib stared in awe at his body, and then realized he was now towering over Tak's 4'11" frame.

"Whoa! Wait, what did you do?" he exclaimed, glancing around somewhat frightened.

"You are going to be an Invader while I can't."

"I never agreed to that!"

"You agreed to take my download!"

"Only for last night, to save my family! Not to do YOUR job!"

"You mean you can just sit by and watch innocent ghosts get eaten alive?"

"Well…"

"Dib. If you are going to have my power, you WILL save every ghost and destroy every Slaughterer I tell you to. If not, then give it back to me."

"I WOULD, if I knew how!"

A shriek pierced the air. The ghost from the day before came running around the corner, a chain dangling from a grommet in her chest. She was pursued by a larger, more ferocious slaughterer than the one Dib had destroyed previously. He whipped out the energy weapon, and activated the spider-legs in his Pak. But before he could rise off the ground and swing into action, Tak grabbed his shoulder.

"Don't. Unless you are going to save EVERYONE, you can't save her."

"But she's in trouble!"

"Do you think that you can pick and choose who you save? Do you think you can only do this when it's convenient to you? Do you? Choose, Dib."

He paused, sucked in a breath, then batted Tak's hand off his shoulder. The spider-legs extended, and he leapt towards the Slaughterer. The execution was brief.

The trembling girl ghost he had just saved timidly stepped towards him. "Thank you, Mister," she mumbled.

"Hey. I told you to pass on, didn't I?" Dib smiled a bit, then took out the sealing gun. "Be happy, okay?" He then fired, and she disappeared in a mist of white light.

Tak smiled. "You do that very nicely."
