Gaz slowly opened her eyes and glared at both Irken leaders as two smaller Irkens bound her to a table. They had knocked her out and now they were attaching a suction cup with a wire to each temple. She shivered at their cold touch and wished that she could do something to them. Her amber eyes caught sight of one Irken carrying a Pak towards her. The table rose up till she was standing. Red smirked as he reached over and tapped her on the cheek. Gaz growled and turned her head so she could bite him.

"She bit me!" Red yelped as Purple smirked.

"Then don't touch her," Purple coldly advised.

Gaz turned her gaze to the Purple alien and noticed a change in him. A smirk spread across her lips. It seemed as if the two leaders were arguing. Red turned his angry eyes back to her. He raised his finger to the corner of her eye and brought the claw down. Gaz winced as she felt the nail dig into her skin. Red grinned at her and she lowered her head.

"Teach you to bit the Almighty hand," Red snorted.

"Bet that makes you feel good," Gaz coldly said. "Does it feel good to pick on female that can't fight back?"

"Pfff… duh!" Red responded.

"Then go ahead…do what you like to me," Gaz offered as she raised her head. Her amber eyes stared only at Red.

Red growled and motioned to the scientist. A wave of electricity was sent through her body. Gaz gasped and then closed her eyes as the volts burned through her body. Red motioned again and Gaz's head hung, as she took shallow breaths.

"Not so tough now," Red mocked as pulled her head up by the hair.

Purple grimaced as Gaz smiled at him. She smiled a dark twisted smile sent chills up his spine. Red frowned and roughly dropped her head. Gaz yelped a quick jolt of electricity was sent through her again.

"You know what…I think we will invade your planet," Red mused. Gaz chuckled.

"Go ahead…I care for none of them," Gaz coldly responded. Another shock was sent through her and this time she let loose a small scream.

"We'll take you apart and useyou to know your race's weakness," Red continued.

"Try fire…I like fire," Gaz added as Red scowled.

Another bout of electricity was sent through her and she threw her head back as she felt it travel through her body. Gaz wondered why the suit didn't protect her from this. She felt as if her insides were being fried. Gaz bit her lip and her teeth drew blood. A small trail of blood ran down her chin. The electricity was turned off and she hung limp.

"I won't let you die until Zim comes," Red assured as he floated around her.

"Zim's coming?" Gaz weakly questioned.

"He's coming for you," Red assured.

Gaz screamed as a quick jolt was sent through her body. It ended and Red expected her to be passed out. Laughter echoed through the dark room as her form slowly shook. Purple raised both antennae and Red raised one in confusion. Gaz's eyes were fully open and glaring at Red.

"What you do to me, I will repay with interest," Gaz darkly promised as she stopped laughing.

"You have no chance of escaping," Red assured.

"You better hope so," Gazcalmly said as she smiled at him.

"Attach the Pak," Red ordered.

"But…her body may reject it my Tallest," a scientist protested.

"You've seen her DNA, it's encoded with Omega DNA. Her body will accept the Pak," Red assured as he glared at the scientist.

"This is going to go wrong," Purple sighed as he looked over to the weakly grinning Gaz.

"No it won't…we'll use her to destroy Zim," Red explained as Gaz's grin slightly fell.

"Then let me program the Pak!" Purple quickly shouted.

"You can't even work the Massive," Red growled as Purple glared at him.

"That's because I wasn't trained to be a technician, but I was trained to be a scientist," Purple firmly said as he glared at Red.

"I thought the Pak is preprogrammed," Red mused.

"Usually, but hers is blank because she doesn't need the personality," Purple explained.

"Fine," Red agreed.

Purple floated over to Gaz and stared into her eyes. Gaz stared back wondering at what the alien was getting at.

"You pack a mean punch," Purple said to her as he floated around to her.

"I aim to cause pain," Gaz responded in slight confusion.

"You'll feel a slight pinch," Purple spoke to her.

"Ow!" Gaz growled.

The Pak latched onto her and her eyes widened as she felt it shoot into her back. Her eyes twitched as she felt it wrap around her spine. Gaz groaned as it traveled the length of her spine.

"What's taking so long?" Red questioned.

"The Pak has to search for a place to connect. She can already breathe, think, and move without it. So, it's going for her brain and attaching to her spine," Purple answered.

The lights on the Pak flashed purple signaling that it had successful attached to her. Purple picked up a plug and stuck it into the middle area of the Pak. He floated over to a computer and began to select different information to send it. Red watched with a suspicious eye as Purple began to grin. Purple clicked into one of the programs removed a stream of data. He exited the program and pressed enter. The data shot into the Pak and Gaz gasped.

"What did you do now?" Red questioned.

"Trust me," Purple drawled. "I would never betray you."

Gaz watched as memories flashed before her eyes. She could see the lab, her father, and Dib. Gaz watched as she went from a happy little girl and eventually to some dark person. A memory of Zim flashed before her and her eyes closed. She could see herself helping him get his Pak back. Gaz softly smiled as she watched their bonding and mayhem.

'I care,' Gaz thought as everything went black.

"Download complete. Memory suppression is final. Basic and Advance Invader Training is Downloaded," the computer spoke.

"Excellent," Red grinned.

'I hope I don't get killed,' Purple thought.

Red looked to the computer and watched as her rank appeared. He grinned and laughed as Purple nervously scratched his head.

Zim wandered through the streets looking at every single sign. Him and Gir still had found no way of entry. Gir stopped walking and pointed at something.

"Gir, we have no time for games!" Zim growled.

"But look," Gir said.

"I told you I want you to remain silent," Zim seriously said.

"LOOK!" Gir shouted.

"Fine, fine, I'll look if you promise to be quiet," Zim sighed.

Zim turned around and stared at the sign. It was written in big bold Irken symbols. Zim growled as he noticed the lights that were flashed onto it. Gir smiled and Zim smacked himself in the face.

"It says entrance," Gir said.

"So it does," Zim growled.

"I want a taco," Gir cheered as Zim patted him on the head.

"We'll get tacos once we retrieve Gaz," Zim mumbled as he pushed at the door.

He studied the metal and raised an antenna in thought. He walked over to a small control pad and sighed. His pack opened and inserted his ID card into the control pad. His face flashed on the screen and the doors opened. Gir watched the doors with an awed look. Zim pushed the robot along and they began their entrance into the hallway.

"This place is big," Gir commented.

"And quiet," Zim mumbled.

"Maybe there's a surprise party!" Gir excitedly shouted.

"Silence!" Zim demanded just as loud.

"I heard you a mile away," Kook announced as she stepped out of the shadows.

"Where's Gaz?" Zim questioned as he glared.

"Your human is…alive," Kook answered with a grin.

"She's not my human!" Zim shouted.

"Sure, sure, now just shut up and fight me!" Kook demanded.

"Restrain her Gir!" Zim ordered.

Gir looked up and smiled at Zim. Kook began to laugh. Zim smacked himself in the face and began to think.

"She has your tacos in her Pak!" Zim shouted. "Get the tacos and run back to the ship!"

"TA-COOOOS!" Gir shouted as he took off at Kook.

Zim held his fists up in the air as a sign of victory. He ran past Gir and Kook and down another hall. He hoped he wasn't to late to get back/rescue Gaz.

"GIVE ME THE TACOS!" Gir shouted as he sat on Kook's head.

"GET OFF ME!" Kook shouted with a growl.

Gir laughed as held onto her antennae and pulled. Kook ran around screaming as Gir's laughter echoed through the halls. Gir pulled on her antennae and steered her into a pillar. Kook fell to her side and Gir rolled off her. His blue eyes landed on the Pak and he grinned. He quickly pulled off the Pak and did a little break dance. Kook looked up just in time to see Gir take off running.

"GIVE ME THAT BACK!" Kook growled as she took off running.

"TACOS!" Gir shouted.

Gir ran out the door and looked behind him to see Kook slowing down. He had been running five minutes and the ship was just a bit further away. Her words had become slurred as she fell to her knees. Gir dove into the ship and noticed that the Pak was trying to attach to him.

"It likes me," Gir laughed.

The Pak gave up its struggles and slowly powered down. Gir turned his gaze and noticed Kook on the ground about thirty feet away. Her eyes were dull and she was unmoving. Gir opened the Pak and looked inside. He pushed a few things around and his smile turned to a frown.

"NO!" Gir sobbed. "The tacos are gone! Why the tacos?"

Gir stared at the Pak before he threw it in the air. He caught it and ate it.

"Taste like chicken," Gir mused.

Author's Note:

This is such a short chapter, but I have major plans for the next chapter.
I'm a little disturbed that Gir ate the Pak, but I couldn't think of a better demise for Kook.
I've finished the last chapter and I'm left in a major debate with myself and my brain.
Leader Rig: The author talks to her brain
Invader Stunk: You wouldn't know since you don't have one
Leader Rig: I did find a Bloody Gir!
Invader Stunk:Okay...but this story is going up to chapter 27
Leader Rig: How do you know?
Invader Stunk: The voices told me and Invader Maz gave me chocolate(grins happily)
Leader Rig: I want voices(pouts) and chocolate...(sighs and curls up in his little cage)
