A/n I'M SO SORRY! It's been so long since I've updated, but I had a bit of a writer's block. But anyway, now I'm back, and you guys get the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim or any of the characters. My friend Horacio keeps telling me that, but I won't listen. I'm such a bad person, and I also don't own Nny or Squee or Reverend Meat. I also don't own a dress.

Chapter 11: "My False Reality."

Wake up, stupid earth-stink...

Huh...Golden orbs opened, fogged up due to a major migraine. Gaz held her wavering head...she felt something wet on her skull...

Blood...

She saw a cloudy figure in front of her...green skin...

"Zim?"

"It's me, Tak."

Her eyes snapped open.

"TAK!" Gaz snatched up the weak alien girl and held her against the wall with inhuman force. Tak struggled in her steel-grip as Gaz gave her a red-eyed glare.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT! BECAUSE OF YOU, MY DAD IS DEAD, MY BROTHER'S IN THE HOSPITAL, AND—"

"You can't blame me for bringing forth the apocalypse, Gaz." Tak stared back with an equally devious glare.

"But it will make me feel a Hell lot better." She pulled back her bleeding fist.

Tak, unfortunately, slipped out of Gaz's grasp and she punched the wall, breaking off cement and bricks.

A little boy who had happen to walk by stared at the dark girl with huge wide eyes then made a little 'squee' noise as he ran off into the darkness.

Both girls stared at the spot where the 'squee' boy had been.

"So..." Tak looked at Gaz to see her eyes closed again. "My anger wore off. Now, I feel like helping you."

Tak narrowed her violet eyes.

"As much as I don't want to, I have to agree with you."

Gaz dusted off her pants and started to stalk off.

"Hey, wait!"

Gaz turned around to see Tak looking at her with confused eyes.

"Well," Gaz opened her eyes once again. "C'mon, we're gonna need some help."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nny, open up!" Yelled the disgruntled girl as she pounded on a shabby-looking door. Tak looked around uneasily at the sign that said, "Keep off loose soil." and the boarded up windows of the dead-looking shack.

"Gaz?" Tak turned suddenly to see a very skinny looking man with black spiky hair open the door. He wore long black boots, a long black trench, and a shirt that said, "Pull my finger and die." His yellow skin glowed as he smirked down upon the two girls.

"What brings you to my house?" He eyed the slightly uncomfortable alien girl. "Another girl bothering you again? Zita was quite the challenge; bit me and took a piece with her." He held up his hand to show the tip of his nail bitten off."

"Not this one, Nny. Tak, this is my friend Johnny, also called Nny." Gaz pointed to the sallow-skinned man behind her.

"Please to make your acquaintance Tak...HOLY FUCK! YOU'RE AN ALIEN!" Nny slammed the door in the girls' faces. Both girls exchanged glances before Gaz drew back her fist and slammed the door down.

"Gee Johnny, how could you tell?" Gaz said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at the man drawing intently on the wall.

"Be glad I don't have to feed the wall anymore, or else I'd just paint your blood all over it..." Said Johnny grudgingly as he wiped his brow with a soiled rag.

"You always make that threat, but you never do anything." The gothic girl observed the baby dolls nailed to the walls and the Burger Boy on the shelf.

"Well, I was arguing with Reverend Meat here about why potholes are round, but I guess I can spare a few minutes of my time. What do you want?" Johnny leaned against the wall, smearing a splattered blood stain.

"I need some of your torture devices again. Also, I need to ask you about..." Gaz looked down on the ground.

"I see."

"What's going on?" Tak yelled impatiently as she looked at the two.

"You heard a voice in your head?" Gaz's head snapped up. "What did the voice say?"

"It said, 'Activate Project Evangeline.' I've never heard of it before though."

"You claim that, but if it appeared in your head, then it had." Johnny had a rare concerned look on his face. He turned to one of his weathered drawers, and shuffled through the contents.

"Gaz, you remember the first time we met, right?"

Gaz shook involuntarily.

"How can I forget? You found me in that alley..." Her face grew cold.

"Yes, and I called the police. Ironic, at that time. I always escaped the police, but I never thought I'd be calling them for help. But that's besides the point..." His voice faded off, and he turned with an old, withered folder in his hand.

"Tell me Gaz, can you remember your 6th birthday?"

Blow...the candles...a wish...

Want...ice cream...present...

"Yes. Of course, I had gotten my first Game Slave..."

"Can you remember anything before that?"

Gaz's eyes turned wide. Cake and presents, but what came before? First laugh? First word? First time she doomed Dib?

"I can't. But of course I can't! It's just been a long while..."

Johnny sighed. He opened the folder, and pulled out a yellowed photograph and a needle.

"Gaz Membrane, aka Project Evangeline; activate full program recovery and operating system. Password..."

Gaz moaned and held her head, and then looked back at Johnny with a full, blank stare.

"My False Reality."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Legion tapped his yellowed fingers on the table that was currently located inside Dib's head.

Not for long...hehe...

"Oooooooohhhhhh..."

Legion narrowed his blood-shot eyes.

"Can't you stop moaning? I would put you under my control again, but I want to see you suffer." He spoke to Zim as he sat inside a cell in the asylum. Ironically, it was the same cell Dib sat in when he accidentally slipped into the different reality.

"Any discomfort I can find...I'll make sure it annoys you." Zim spat up purple liquid from his mouth as Legion frowned. He stepped up to the cell on looked down upon Zim in his pitiful, injured state.

"Shut up you slave. I can destroy you anytime you know."

"But you can't, because you won't."

"Sadly, I need you for the prophecy." Legion rolled his eyes and sat back down on his iron-wrought chair.

Zim narrowed his ruby eyes. "What is this damned prophecy you keep talking about?"

"It's an ancient prophecy that began the day Dib was created by his father. This realm manifested itself inside the young child's over active brain, and as he grew, our world grew. For reasons untold, the nightmarish creatures of this dimension ravaged the land, sometimes leaking through 'breaks' in the space between worlds to the normal world, causing what humans call 'the supernatural'."

"I'm bored already." Zim said as he sat cross-legged in his cell.

"Anyway, like I said, when Shadow Bitters and the other shadow creatures tried to escape from Dib's head, they obviously failed. Back then, I was just a slug-like creature, the opposite of Dib, a big dork. But I grew to realize that the human world was truly a horrific place, so I came up with plans to destroy it. That's where the prophecy comes in."

"Back up. What do you mean Dib was 'created'? He was born, wasn't he?" Zim asked impatiently as his pack began healing the bruises across his back.

"He was created. Dib was an experiment created by Professor Membrane, with fake memories. He was the beginning of Project Evangeline, a project that went beyond the Laws of Nature, which by the way, had another experiment in its midst. It wasn't until recently I discovered that both experiments were needed in a complicated ritual that involved both Para-science and True-science in some documents I found in this realm's forbidden libraries. This world and even this universe is part of something much bigger, and I'm going to find out by breaking the walls that separate each dimension."

"Not that what you're saying is a whole bunch of crap, but tell me, who is the other experiment?" Zim kneeled on his knees as he glared at the towering figure before him.

"Now, that should be quite obvious." Legion smirked, showing his fangs. "Why, it's none other than Gaz Membrane."

A/n I know, it's short, but I'm trying to type down each story burst that comes out of my brain before I forget it. Also, I'm a very busy girl! Anyway, I hope that this will keep you satisfied for now. Until then, see ya!
