Important Note: This, lovely and constant reader, is a story I volunteered to finish for The-Death-Bringer-of-Hell. She allowed me to and here I am. Credit for this chapter goes to her, because this is her work. I just fixed it up a little. Now, enjoy!

Persona Reversed

Chapter Six: The Vanishing

"Oh, well, that is easy. That is because I am an Elite Irken Invader; Right Hand Irken to the Almighty Tallest." Rina bowed again. Dib thought he was going to have a heart attack when the girl in front of him started to change her form. First, her black, pink-tipped hair fell out, like she was balding in extremely fast motion, revealing two Irken antennae. Then, her eyes went from normal and blue to big, glowing orbs of evil; one purple and one red. Circling her purple eye was a red circle. Same with the red one, except the circle was purple. Her normal pink and black human skirt changed into a reddish-pink skirt mimicking the bottom half of Zim's armor. Her neon-pink top did the same, except it was a light purple. A PAK like Zim's appeared on her back, only black with pink hearts instead of pink circles. Then her pale skin turned green, like Zim's. Then, to top everything off, the 5'2" girl grew.

Now, Dib had seen the Tallest of Irk, and knew about how tall they were. Rina now stood at most an inch shorter than them. Her head scraping the ceiling, she looked very scary indeed.

"Holy shit…" He said under his breath. "You really are Irken… But… How? I've known you since I was in pre-school. Your mom, who was my dad's assistant, brought you over every day to watch Gaz and me."

Rina nodded and said, "Wrong. I only altered your memory to make you think that. I'm very handy at these kinds of things. But you should not be worrying about that now. We must take care of Zim first." She concluded, with a sigh, as Zim was now awakening. Dib snapped back into reality and rushed over to Zim, who was having trouble sitting up.

Zim's eyes were glazing over as he scanned the room quickly. His eyes rested on Rina and he immediately saluted and jumped to his feet with respect. "My Lady, I mean no disrespect by being in this condition, but I am abnormally tired--" He started, but Rina interrupted.

"Zim… Please rest. There is something very important that needs to be said. Now listen, and that is an order"

Zim was about to comply, but collapsed from exhaustion. Dib caught him and put him gently on the couch. Rina then went on to explain Zim's condition to him.

"Zim, you have an Irken disease. It's very rare and only the Tallest know how to make it, as they are the creators of it. Zim, the Tallest have infected you with something that will eat you from the inside-out. I was sent here, not only to keep you from discovering the truth, but to destroy you. I have failed my mission to the Tallest, and I wish to never do that again. So that is why I am now helping you. And that is why you are feeling so tired, my sweet little Irken. Now, I beg you to please go back to sleep."

Zim, stunned as he was at this information, was still outraged. "YOU LIE!" He screamed. "THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ONE OF THEIR BEST INVADERS! MI'LADY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME LIES!" Zim, proud Irken Invader, Pilot of the Voot Runner, Master of G.I.R. Zim, the Shortest and most determined Irken Invader to ever live, was on the verge of tears.

How dare his Trainer lie to him? She had trained in the most deadly form of training there was to be trained in. She had always showered him with love. She had seen many wars, so she had taught him what to expect from unknown enemies. She had been like a Parental Unit to him. Rina had always spoken the truth. Why did she choose now to lie?

"Zim, I lie not. Contact the Tallest when you are feeling better and see for your self. They will be stunned to see you alive and breathing." Rina said, a little frustrated with the tiny Irken's innocence.

Zim screamed, "I WILL CALL THEM RIGHT NOW AND PROVE THAT YOU LIE!" Or, at least, that was what he had meant to scream… He more or less mumbled something incomprehensible before passing out and sprawling himself across the couch.

"What did you do to him? He was about to answer but then your antennae…" Dib started, as he stared at Rina, who was just relaxing her antennae back against her head.

"As I said before, you may recall, I am very handy at playing tricks on the mind. I just put Zim to sleep for a while. He needs his rest." Rina said, heading out of the room. "Would you like something to eat?" She added. Dib was about to say no when his stomach let out a massive growl. Rina giggled. "I shall take that as a yes." She stated as she walked into her kitchen and disappeared.

Dib sighed and sat back on the couch.

It was a while before Zim woke up, but when he did, he let everyone know it. "DAMN YOU, RINA! GET BACK IN HER SO THAT I MAY KICK YOUR SORRY HEAD!" he shrieked.

"Zim, I think the phrase is 'kick your sorry ass'. Heads don't have anything to do with it." Dib corrected gently as Rina trotted back into the room. Zim didn't care and was blinded by rage.

"Alright, Zim. To stop your senseless racquet, we will be taking a trip to: IRK, to see the truth." She said, pulling out a remote.

"What's that?" Dib asked.

"It is my remote. To call my Voot Runner." She said, and pressed a button. Zim, Dib, Akina, Rina, and little G.I.R. down the street glowed a brilliant blue and they were teleported onto Rina's Voot.

"Nice little set you have." Zim was trying to apologize for his earlier outbursts.

"Thank you, Zim." Rina pushed many buttons faster than Dib or Zim could make them out and the Voot started to hum. Akina shed her dog disguise and reveled herself as a S.I.R. She, also, started pressing buttons. "Hold on to your lunches everyone!" Rina cried, as the Voot started rising. Zim held Dib and Dib held Zim and Akina and G.I.R. held each other. That's when the five "friends" disappeared from the planet. For a time, anyway.
