Dib was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling,throwing a ball into the air and catching it in a rhythm.He had been thinking about what Zim said all day. What Sam had said was true: They had always wanted an adventure,and from what he heard before from Sam and saw for himself that day,Yin wanted one too.(They had left about an hour ago) When Kingdom Hearts had come out,they had talked about how unbelieveably cool it would be to do something like that. But now that the oppurtunity was here,no one knew what to think. Especially since it was Zim,Dibs enemy, proposing the journey. He heaved another heavy sigh and turned on his side,letting the ball thump off his other side and onto the floor.

Of course,there was what he had said,just before he left. 'I really need your help.' he could see the moment again and again in his mind. 'i really need your help' wow. Well,one thing was for sure,this was all Zims doing. No one could have gotten him to say that. Mabye that was it...Dib groaned and stood up. He needed to talk to someone about this. he picked up his phone and dialed Sams number.

Sam looked up from his video game when his phone started ringing. That was the third time in a while,and he was getting a little ticked. He picked up the reciever.

"Hello?" He said irritably.

"Dude,whats the matter?" Dib asked. Sam sighed.

"Nothing. What'cha need?"

"What else.what do you think of Zims offer?"

"Honestly,I think we should do it. I mean,I get what your saying. It could be a trap. But theres always the little chance hes not lying and we're missing out on something big here."

"Yeah,I guess you're right. Could you and Yin come over tomorrow? Mabye we can pay a little surprise visit to his house and see whats up."

"You seriously think he's going to let you in his house?"

"Under normal circumstances,no. But if he really needs help,he has to let us in sometime."

"ah,so is that how we're going to decide?"

"Any other ideas?"

"Mabye we should talk to Yin. She's part of this too."

"Sounds good. Does she have instant messenger?"

"Yup. We're all the same server. I'll call and tell her to get on."

"Ok. bye."

"Bye."

Cinderstar: I guess so.

Somewhere in space, a fleet of spaceships-each holding hundreds of Dark solgers- were hurtleing twords earth. The Darks had no intention of following the instructions they were given.They never did,it was their buisness. They just knew that this little planet was free for their taking,and did'nt even have decent protection. Overkill,who was actualy the leader,estimated that their arrival would take about three hours. (With all the money they made,they could afford to make their ships really fast and cool and shiny and stuff) Three hours...Earth time that meant about two AM...

Yin was having a nightmare,and a bad one at that.It made absolutely no sense,and was ridiculously gorey.So much so,that the part of her subconcious mind that watched her as she slept had to shake her awake to keep her from having a heart attack or something.She sat bolt up right in bed. Her eyes were wet,and her back was sticky with sweat.Her stupid sheets were tangled around her tightly,and she had to work out of them before she could get up and turn on the light.She flicked it on,and half expected to see dead bodies all over.Of course,there werent.She shook her head and sat on her bed,her head in her hands.

At that moment,her intuition was screaming at her. She had always had a particularly strong (and unnervingly accurate) intuition.She had learned to trust it.Right now,she was being told to call Sam NOW. She looked at the clock. Midnight. Yeah,he was probably still up. She picked up the phone with a shaking hand and called Sams house. He picked up on the third ring,righ tbefore the answering machine got it.

"Hello?" he said,somewhat sleepily.

"Sam?" Yins voice was coming out in a squeak. She was scared and she did'nt know why,but something very very bad was happening somewhere.

"Yin whats the matter?" all traces of fatigue gone.

"I dont know. I had a bad dream,then I had to call you,and Im really freaked out." she took a deep breath.

"You're not making any sense.Slow down."

"I dont know..." Then it hit her. "We have to go to Zims."

"What?Now?"

"Yes.Call Dib. Ill meet you at his house."

"No you wont." Sam said sternly. "You're not going out walking all alone at night.I'll come by and get you."

"Ok ok,just hurry!" She hung up the phone,got dressed and walked out to her living room.Her father was still out,and her mother was asleep.She left a note,just in case,and went outside to wait for Sam.She was relieved when the street lights finally went out one by one and a huge shadow flew up beside her.The shadow shifted back to its origional state (Sam) and as they hurried down the road to Dibs house,the street lights came back on.

"Its about time." Yin said.

"What is going on?" Sam asked,obviously stressed. "You're freaking me out here."

"I know,Im sorry. I just know that something very bad is going on and we dont have much time. I'm not sure,but I think it has something to do with Zim."

"So we're doing this on a hunch!"

"Do you trust me or not?"

"Of course I trust you."

"Then come on."

They got to Dibs house to see him standing on his lawn.

"Whats going on?" He asked,falling into step with them as they turned into Zims yard.

"I don't know." Sam replied. "Shes insane."

"His lights are on..." Yin noted distantly.

The three walked up to Zims door and rang the bell.They could hear a crash and Zim yelling something before he got to the door.He did'nt look too surprised to see them.

"Well," he said angrily,stepping aside. "Get in here. someone might see you."

Dib,Sam and Yin walked into his living room and sat down.

"Well,why are you here?"

"We'd like to take you up on your offer." Dib said.

Zim did'nt look too surprised at this either.

"You better be sure. I wont drive all the way back across the galaxy because someone chickened out."

"We've already discussed it."

Zim looked impressed,but only for a split second. Then he stood across from them for a minute.

"I already know all about Dib." He said. "What about you two? Stand up." Sam and Yin stood up.

"You,girl. Whats your name?"

"Yin." She was tempted to say sir,but did'nt.

"What can you do?"

"Huh?"

"There will probably be battle. What can you do?" Zim asked,a little more impatiently.

"Uh..Umm. Not much I guess." He looked her in the eyes for a little,then,in about a second and a half,he pulled out his tazer gun and fired at her head. She waved her hand in front of her,making a sort of light screen. (Like a lightning shield from Sonic) The shot bounced off and hit the wall,making a small crater. Zim smirked again.

"Liar." Then he turned to Sam. "What about you?"

"I'm sam." Said Sam. "I'm a shapeshifter."

"Oh really." Zim said,like he was bored. "Lets see."

A black ring formed around Sams middle,and it split over him,and what ever it went over was turned into what at first just seemed like fuzzy shadow. As he got longer,the form took more shape,and after a bit,instead of Sam there was a large black serpent style dragon.

"Ok ok." Zim said. Then he looked to Dib,who looked a little blown.

"I suppose you knew about this?" Zim asked as Sam switched back.

"I knew about Sam,but not Yin." Dib replied. Then he looked a little angry. "Dude,you could have blown her head off! What if you were wrong?"

"An Irken intuition never lies Dib." Yin looked up.

"Intuition?"

"Yes yes human,don't your ears work?"

"That's why we're here."

"I thought you were coming with me. Make up your puny minds!"

"No no no." Yin explained "I had a dream and when i woke up i felt like I had to get these two together and get over here. We were going to come by tomorrow,but I've got a bad feeling. I've always had a strong intuition too." Zim seemed to be listening a little more now.

"Whats it telling you?" he asked thoughtfully.

"Something very bad is going on right now,and we dont have much time to get ready."

"I feel it too." Zim said. "That's why I was up so late." Sam and Dib looked over at the clock. 1:30.

"So what do we do?" Dib asked. "We don't even know whats happening to be ready for."

"Well,lets get started on our ship." Zim said. "I guess thats all we know to do right now. Come on."

Zim lead them all down to his basement. Dib looked like he could hardly contain himself. This was what he had been searching for his whole life! Now it was all laid before him,this was his chance!

"Don't touch anything Dib." Zim warned. "I have all the important stuff alarmed.Just because Im working with you does'nt mean I wont beat the crap out of you." Yin and Sam sniggered. Dib shoved his hands in his pockets.

They were walking in a line down a narrow pathway through his scientific junk.Zim in the front,Dib in the back. They got to a little clearing.(With a shattered mobile over head.) Zim went over to the console.There was a huge screen,big enough for everyone to see.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked as Zim typed away.

"Im checking what I have in the inventor-"

There was a loud siren and the lights flashed red,Zims screen went blank,except for a message in bright green letters,written in irken.

"Whats going on!" Dib yelled over the noise. "I didn't do it!"

"Shut up stupid!" Zim called over his shoulder as he read the stats on the screen. "Something is entering the Earths atmosphere."

"What is it?" Yin asked fearfully.

"I'm trying to figure it out!" Zim said in annoyance as he shut off the alarm. "Would you please SHUT UP!" No one had much else to say,so Zim turned back to the screen. No one was sure,but the three on the couch thought they saw Zim's face pale ever so slightly.

"What?" Sam was almost afraid to ask.

"Darks..." Zim said mostly to himself. "Darks are entering the atmosphere."

"What are Darks?"

"Umm.They're like" He tried to figure out what the earth term was. "Pirates?"

"Space pirates?" Dib asked.

"They trick races into giving them money for jobs they dont do. They're very powerful,and theres a lot of them."

"Whats their planet called?" Dib wanted as much info as he could get.

"They don't have one." Zim was now going around and getting weapons and supplies. "They just go around and take over other planets and use them until they run out of resources." He looked up,no humor on his face. "They're worse than humans."

"Oh thats nice." Yin said sarcasticly.She looked over at the clock. 1:45. For some reason,a little knife dug its way into her chest as she registered the time. "Zim.."

"Yes yes I know. It must have been them we were feeling." He said without stopping. He tossed them all little bags.

"Go around and get what you want. I dont really care at this point what is taken,all I have down here is weapons so get what looks good to you."

"Thats a little unorthidox dont you think?" Sam said skepticly.

"We dont have any more time just do it!" Zim ordered. They all obeyed and stuffed their bags full of whatever junk they could get.

For the next few minutes,there was total and utter chaos as everyone ran around and gathered up what they wanted. Dib couldent get his bag to close when he was done,and had to put some of his stuff in his pockets.

"Now what?" Yin asked,shouldering her pack.

"We wait I guess." Zim said.

"How long?" Dib asked. When he said that,there was a loud rumbling sound that gradually got louder and louder.Soon,the room was shakeing slightly. They all ran upstairs.

"GIR!" Gir came out from his hiding under the couch. "Stay close Gir." he told him.

"Guys look!" Dib had gone to the window, and was now pointing outside. Everyone crowded around it to see what was going on.

There were lights over the city now,and the kids could just see the huge outline of the fleet of ships.

The Darks had arrived.

Im not going to write much Gir because it will get kind of dark.
