From the screensaver of Invader Sideos. I love pro plus! Yes indeedy I can say that with total confidence! I have 2 pro plus a day with about 4 coffees all super strong, my friends tell me to stop. They say it's affecting me but I just tell them that I will obliterate them to their cells if they tell me to stop. Right I'm off to capture someone to hang in my house for decoration purposes.
I dont own Zim. IfI did I'd force him to make me coffee! Irkin coffee!
------------------------------------
"Dib-beast, I need your help" Zim was standing at Dibs front door. Reluctantly with his disguise on. Dib was standing, arm's crossed, at the door with a strange mix of surprise, anger and glee written on his face.
"Zim, I would never willingly help you...EVER! So what makes you think I'd help you now? I mean you're a stupid jock and you almost killed me!"
Dib was coolly lording it over his enemy, glad that Zim had finally come down off his power trip.
"Please, Dib, there's something trying to take me over and make me..."(Zim shuddered,) human. That was what tried to kill you and what made me..." he stopped suddenly. He almost told Dib about Mary and he would never let Dib know about that. Even if it was life or death. But Dib was now interested.
"Made you what?" Zim hurriedly tried to cover himself.
"Err nothing, nothing" but Dib pushed further.
"Tell me or I wont even CONSIDER helping you" Zim looked at Dib hatefully. His mistake had left him vulnerable, but he had a chance to cure himself if he revealed what went on.
"If I tell you, promise not to tell anyone else and promise to let me use your labs." Dib looked thoughtful for a second. Zim looked desperate and despite him being his enemy he certainly didn't want that thing that almost killed him to return.
"Ok, I promise" Zim lowered his head and Dib almost missed what he said.
"Fall in love with Mary." Dib suddenly looked like he's stomach was imploding.
"Err...Ok…Yea...errm..." Zim looked very annoyed and began grinding his teeth together.
"Ok, Dib, laugh now, but only now!" Dib fell on the floor crying with mirth.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA...You...Her...HAHAHAHAH...The mighty Irkin invader has a soft spot...HAHAHAHAHAH!" Dib couldn't get up he was laughing so hard. "OH GOD OH GOD...HAHAHAHAHAHA! It's so funny!" After a few minuets he finally recovered "Ok, Zim, come on, you can use my labs...Mary...HAHA."
With that they both walk inside and down into Dibs fathers labs. Luckily, Professor Membrane was away on business and Dib already knew every pass code to the files, so they had total access to everything. The moment Zim was sure no one but Dib was around he tore off his disguise, looking at it cautiously. Dib turned round, noticing Zim's sudden reaction towards the inanimate objects.
"What's the matter?" Zim looked at Dib, still with fear on his face.
"Zimmy talks to me through those things" His eyes darting back and forth between the items. Dib looked stupefied.
"Zimmy?" Zim looked at Dib knowing that he wouldn't simply cast away what he had heard.
"The thing that's trying to control me. G.I.R knocked it out before, but I don't know how long for. We have to work quickly If we are to destroy it." But Dib was not satisfied.
"Wait. You haven't even told me what 'it' is. You can't cure madness, you know." Zim sighed and repeated everything that Zimmy had told him. Dib respectfully stood and listened. After Zim finished Dib sat down absorbing the information.
"What I think we need to do is reduce the amount of human DNA in you, and increase whatever it is your PAK is giving you to keep you and not Zimmy in control." Zim nodded in agreement.
"Then lets get started, I don't know how long I will stay in control." With that the two enemies put aside their quarrel's and began to work. All night they tested and experimented and examined. At times Zim would collapse clutching his head and at one point Dib had to hit him with a pole to bring him back. They carried on, but they knew that they were running out of time. Eventually Dib lifted a syringe above his head.
It was filled with a greenish liquid which glowed eerily.
"Ok Zim I've got it! This should remove the human DNA within you. You may lose the goatee, but I don't think...Zim? Zim?"
The lab and gone spookily quiet, Dib had been too wrapped up in his work to notice. Dib corked the syringe and placed it in his trench coat pocket. He then picked up the metal pole he had used before.
"Zim...Where are you? I've got the cure" Dibs voice hardened and he knew he had a fight on his hands. Then out of the shadows came that strange cold voice.
"Congratulations, Dib. Too bad Zim will never use it" Dib stood still. His battles with Zim had taught him never to go looking for the enemy when shadows were involved. It had also taught him not to panic, but that voice made his insides shrink with fear.
"So. Zimmy, I believe? Why don't we talk face to face? We can have a nice cosy chat about this mind control business." Dib tried to bait his enemy out. It would usually work on Zim but then again, this wasn't Zim.
"That is reluctantly out of the question. I tried to kill you on the field, Dib, but I suppose I will have to kill you in this lab instead. Zim tried to fight me and lost. You really think you, armed only with a metal pole can stop me, armed with an Irkin PAK?"
Dib knew the odds were against him, but he needed to get Zim back. He needed Zim to fight Zimmy, it was the only way he knew he would defeat him.
"Zim, if you can hear me fight back! Don't let him control you! That's your body not his!" He heard the fear beginning to creep into his voice. Then he heard something, something like a gasp or a shiver. But the important thing was that it gave away Zimmys location. Dib turned swiftly to his right.
"Come on coward. You wanna kill me? Bring it on!" Dib tensed himself and gripped the pole with two hands holding it like a bat. He shifted his feet to balance his weight and narrowed his eyes intently. Then Zimmy walked out of the shadows. Dib hid the shock on his face. Zimmy was wearing Zim's torn up jock-top and only one contact in his right eye. The effect was unnerving, but Dib knew that he had to fight it.
"What's wrong, had a fight with a cat?" Dib was disguising his fear with taunts but inside he knew he faced certain death.
"Time for you to Die, Dib! Once I kill you, no one else will know of this bodies true origin and the people here are too ignorant to ever try to find out. Mary and I will be able to truly fall in love. Zim will become a modal human. Surly you don't want to stop that, do you? This is your big chance to rid the world of Zim forever. Destroy the cure and I will let you live"
Dib had to admit it was a tempting deal. The moment he cured Zim, he would go back to fighting him again. Zim would continue to try to kill him and destroy the world. But on the other hand...
"No" Zimmy looked genuinely surprised.
"You fool, why?" Dib looked right into Zimmys eye, hoping to contact Zim as well.
"Because Me and Zim, whether he wants to admit it or not, have become close. We're not just rivals, were friends. It's only because of him that the earth as been saved several times. Sure he still wants to destroy it, but I'm always here to stop him, and if you take Zim then I won't have anyone any more. I'll go back to just looking at the stars and I can't have that." Dib smiled a Zim style evil grin. "And besides, I spent ages working on this serum. I'm not just gonna destroy it 'cause you want me too." Zimmy's face contorted with rage.
"Idiot! Then Die foolish being!" Zimmy launched himself forward, but this time Dib was ready and swung with perfect accuracy hitting Zimmy on the side of his face. Zimmy smashed into a table and fell behind it. Dib prepared himself again as Zimmy shot back up. Dib swung again, but Zimmy ducked and hit Dib hard in the stomach. He staggered back slightly, but kept a hard grip on his weapon. Zimmy darted forward, eager to take advantage of Dib, but Dib had fought him before and know his style of attack. He rolled out the way. As long as he could keep a distance between him and Zimmy he had a chance. Zimmy turned and smiled that strange evil smile before launching himself forward again. Dib swung and hit Zimmys side knocking him off balance. Dib took this chance to back off slightly, and prepare again for another attack. But Zimmy just groaned and gripped his head in both claws. Dibs eyes widened as Zim spoke out.
"Dib...Attack now... the serum...Inject into...spine."
"RAAAAAA" Zimmy had re-taken control, but Dib had already darted forward and smashed the pole onto Zimmy's back. He fell to the floor with a thud. Dib moved again to swing the pole down, but Zimmy rolled over quickly grabbing the pole. He had just enough time the grin psychotically at the look on Dib's shocked face before placing his feet onto Dib's stomach and throwing him forcefully into the wall. Dib hit the wall with a sickening crunch. Shaking slightly he tried to picked himself up but a sharp boot collided with his chest, causing him to collapse again. He tried again to get up but the boot again kicked into his ribcage. He lay still, waiting for the boot to kick him but nothing came. Instead he felt a clawed hand grab this hair and lift him painfully of the floor Zimmy yanked Dib off the ground, still smiling evilly before punching him hard in the face. Dib fell roughly onto the floor again, but once more Zimmy grabbed the scythe in his hair and pulled him off the ground.
"Why did you even try, Dib? You can't beat me. But I grow bored. It's time I finished you off." Slowly out of the PAK came a sharp spider leg. It hovered over Zimmys shoulder, pointing at Dib.
"Say goodbye." Dib's blackened eyes widened and he saw the leg shoot towards him...he closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable. But no pain came. Dibs eye opened slighty. The leg hovered just in front of his forehead. Zimmy looked shocked and confused.
"Why won't you work, stupid thing!" another leg shot out the PAK heading for Dibs heart, but once again stopped just before it connected. Now it was Dibs turn to grin as he realised what was going on.
"Don't you see, you idiot. You can control the body, but Zim still exists in the PAK". Zimmy, for the fist time ever, panicked. The legs suddenly wrapped themselves around Zimmys body with an extra two aiding. Zimmy staggered back, grimacing.
"No! I cannot be stopped like this. What about Mary, the leadership of the preps, the power you held Zim?" then Zim spoke out, overpowering Zimmy.
"Screw them."
Dib slowly took out the surprisingly still intact needle and kicked Zimmy to the floor.
"Cya, Zimmy. Have a nice time not existing." Dib rolled Zimmy over despite his screams and injected the serum into his back. Immediately, he stopped and began to spasm slightly, before finally slipping into unconsciousness. Dib fell back against the wall and did the same.
Dib and Gaz walked towards skool. As they walked Dib put a hand across his stomach scratching it gently and looked at it annoyed.
"Damm, these bandages are itchy." Underneath his t-shirt and trench coat Dib had the majority of his chest and stomach bandaged up. Gaz looked up from her fresh from the store, GS4.
"When do they come off?" This was not a kind concerned sister question, more of a morbid curiosity question.
"A month." Gaz grinned one of her rare grins of sick humour.
"You have a month of rib poking ahead of you." Dib looked worried and made a mental note. Don't piss Gaz off this month. Dib looked ahead and saw Zim leaning against the skool gate. He didn't smile or wave as Dib approached, but merely nodded his head acknowledging his arrival. You couldn't see them, but Zim too had several bandages across his chest and round his back. Zim had kept his height but had lost his goatee. He had also burned his jock-top and his old disguise, but his new one looked precisely the same.
"How long does your un-superior slow healing body have to have the bandages on for?" Dib looked annoyed again.
"A month." Zim laughed a typical Zim laugh.
"HA! I only need them on for 3 weeks. Thank the control brains for Irkin PAK's." He said this with much more feeling nowadays. Dib and Zim walked into the yard side by side as Gaz went off to the nearest seat to concentrate on hating everyone and playing her GS4. Dib and Zim had called a 'truce' while they healed. As they walked Dib turned to Zim.
"So I heard you quit the skool team. Giving up the jock lifestyle then?" Dib said with a sly grin.
"Yes, it was too much hassle anyway. I mean, if I carried on I would never have any time to destroy you," Zim said returning with a sly grin of his own. He was about to carry on, when a very angry Mary stormed over to him.
"What do you think your doing? You can't just give up being a prep! What about the power? What about the team?" she softened her voice slightly "What about me, Zimmy?"
Zim visibly flinched at this name. "Being a prep almost killed me, do you know that? You people are just a bunch of stupid idiots!" He added with a trade mark Zim grin of doom."And I couldn't care less about you, you backstabbing bitch." For a second Mary looked like she had been told Christmas had been cancelled, before her face twisted in rage and slapped Zim across his face.
"FINE! See if I care. I never really liked you anyway!" And just as she was stomping off she yelled at the top of her voice.
"AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE KISSER!" Zim froze, and beside him Dib was cracking up with laughter. Zim's face fell.
"Not a word Dib-stink. Not. A. Word."
---------------------------------
Yep that's it. I really love this ending, its great. A bit too much swearing but I don't care. There are some little things I want to point out
1: The Dib/Gretchen thing was meant to go further but I couldn't find a way to place her in the story more so...yea. I included it as a point of showing that Dib had grown up. (sorry Deyinel)
2: The reason why Zimmy doesn't have speech marks in the last chapter but does in this one is to show the difference between the power he gains over Zim.
3: Every character I use is included in the show. Yup there all their, if u look hard enough. Thanks to for the character archives it was a MASSIVE help.
4: I changed this story about 50 times from its original format. (Zim becomes human/hates it/base don't recognize him/turns to Dib for help) the whole idea of humanity effecting Zim is to show how humanity can be a mixed thing. Good for allowing feeling and the want to protect and help and bad for making us do terrible things in its name.
5: I was going to have the Zim/Zimmy convocation last longer and go into more detail about how PAK's work in stopping emotions in Irkins but I have decided to move it to the next story I'm going to write "I am the Enemy'...Can you guess what's its about? R&R people.
