Disclaimer I don't own Invader Zim in any capacity.
This story is going to be unlike any I have done thus far or I that's what I think, it's up to to you.
Greetings everybody it's good to see you all back here. Though I have to say in advance that I am sorry. For what you might ask, what awful and heinous thing have I done?
Nothing major except have you all read this story in particular as it revolves around Dib. I promise I don't hate Dib he is only really..REALLY annoying sometimes.
Like eighty percent of the time if we are to be accurate. Enough of all that we should focus on him and his current issue which is saying it lightly. Basically Tak nearly killed him is the summary of what happened.
She did that while her Zim Gir and Dib were on her Anti Terraformer. It is quite the miracle that Dib had survived what she had did to him on that machine.
Shot by one of her pak lasers and brought to a hospital. It is here where he was in critical condition about to die. Though that's got better but not by much.
He had about a two percent chance of living but due to modern medicine and Professor Membrane that increased to about twenty five percent. That's not much your thinking to yourself through the screen.
To that I say of course you think we'd know how to heal an alien laser shooting you in the chest. Any alien would love to know that we wouldn't be capable of that.
At best he would have to have his arm amputated to be able to live. The worst is obviously he would die due to the pain. His dad while not a fan of his obsession with aliens still couldn't live with himself if he were to die.
Honestly Dib didn't think the pain was that bad at first but BOY did that change fast. To best describe it imaging having your bones broken but also then being stabbed through the chest.
The blade might have also went through your whole chest and left you looking like a zombie. One that might or might not have a big head with glasses on.
Probably not the easiest thing to try and explain in a easy way without sounding cringe. That was the best I was able to do alright no need to be rude.
Anyways a lot of things were going through the mind of Dib and none of them were good. He is currently in his room with The Doctor, Professor Membrane and Gaz. Banks and Isaac were outside waiting for an update on his condition.
The hospital staff only allowed Dib's Family to be in there with him. Stupid yes but hey their the doctors here and not them. Although I wouldn't be shocked if Professor Membrane had a medical license.
For Dib he was currently unconscious but still able to breath albeit slowly. That isn't what he focused on though. He like always is thinking about what Zim is doing while he is here.
He had no idea what he was up to and that drove him crazy. More than usual but hey we don't need to mention that. No need to be rude here, let's try and be kind.
It was killing him on the inside not knowing what Zim was doing. While he was in the hospital struggling to stay alive he is afraid of what the irken is doing.
With all the time he has to try and conquer Earth without anybody in his way it drove him crazy. The only that Dib thought about and that thing was what Zim was plotting.
Soon he wouldn't have to worry or at least that is what he is hoping. It's bad enough he already gets nightmares about Zim completing his mission.
He also is thinking about what to do knowing what had happened to him. Will he be able to still fight Zim at full strength? Is he still going to be able to save humanity from an alien threat?
While he thought about that his dad Professor Membrane was speaking to The Doctor. He was confused and wanted an answer to what had happened to his son.
"I still don't get any of this. "What could have possibly made his shoulder area look like a glow stick was poured on a bruise the size of this building?
"Hours of guessing and I am still drawing a blank at what could have caused this. "I wish there was some easy way that could explain this to me.
Professor Membrane says dumbfounded at what he is looking at. "You there what could have caused this? "Don't ask me I might be a doctor but even I am unable to tell what this is.
"To be honest in the five years I have spent as a doctor I've never seen anything like this. "Your telling me you have no idea. "No but thanks to you and the tech you brought and the amount of medicine we used it's gotten better.
"For the time being that is. "Doubt that it will even work. "Your doubt is misplaced doctor for this will work of that I am certain. Professor Membrane says hopeful of what his tech will be able to do what it's needed to do.
"Seems weird though to expect some fancy tech will actually be enough to save his arm. "There is a chance that it will fail but hey I'll take your word for it.
"Believe me I'd use all the technology I have if it meant saving my kids. "Family is quite the motivator for people. "Or at least that is what I heard.
"Either way I wouldn't my kids to be in pain like this. "I wouldn't wish this on anybody's kids let alone my own. "Hence the reason I am doing whatever is possible to save my son.
"Yeah..I hate him and all but Dib is the only brother I have. "Doesn't mean he should think that I am being nice when I say that. "Indeed he is daughter and that is what makes it special.
"A shame I never could wrap my head around the whole alien obsession. "It's even gotten worse in some ways but also good in others. "Soon he will be back to the way he was before this.
"Ugh don't remind of that. "Relax daughter surely your excited that your brother will make it through whatever caused this. "I am but also not at the same time.
"I don't want him dead but at the same time he drives me up the wall twenty four seven. "Don't worry soon he be back to doing his research if you want to call it that.
"Your son will still have to get some rest at home even after he is fully healed though. "That means I finally get to weld his door shut while he rests up.
"I guess if that's how you want to do that. The Doctor says weirded out by what Gaz had said. He definitely doesn't get paid enough to deal with statements like that.
"Anyways the surgery didn't go as we had hoped. "With the wounds your son is dealing with he might be stuck here for no less that a year.
"That way we can try and find donors who will try and lend a hand or in this case organs. "What about the arm I have being delivered here?
"Don't worry it's on it's being checked by some of the other doctors. "Speaking of which don't you think it's a little weird to have a fourteen year old have a futuristic metal arm attached.
"No cause I have made sure to keep things like that ready for situations like this. "There are several tools like for situations like this. "I had spent years perfecting it for use.
"Though I hoped I would never have to use it though. The door opens and it was Isaac who had Banks not to far behind him. "Dib is he alive? Banks says without hesitation once he entered the room.
"Yes but he is still far from fixed. "Can you go any faster? "I wish that was possible. "He is in such bad shape that we don't know of if organ donations and his tech will work.
"What do you mean you don't know? "You can't stand there and say that. "He better not die, you had better find a way to fix him or bad things will end up happening.
"Relax man you know he's going to be fine. Isaac says trying to hopefully calm Banks down. "I know I need to relax but how can I? "Don't let this get to your head.
"It'll only make it worse the more you think about it. "Try and think about the positives. "He is alive and will be back to normal sooner than you think. "Your right.
"This shouldn't be difficult it shouldn't. "I know but things like this tend to be like that. "By how your acting you must care a lot about him. "What's that supposed to mean?
Banks says in an angry tone at The Doctor seemingly not amused at what he said at all. "Say that again. "What? "You think this a time for a joke?
"What no I was only saying that you care a lot about him. "No you said that to try and get a rise out me. "I am not a person that takes that lightly.
"This isn't the time for jokes. "You think making smart comments about this kid almost dying is funny to to you. Banks says irritated at The Doctor for what seems like no reason at all.
The Doctor looks absolutely confused at what he had said. "Look Banks we should go back to the hallway and think about this. Isaac goes and pulls Banks out of the room when he doesn't answer.
The door closes as nobody in the room knows what to say about that. "Alright he is slowly getting close to Dib's level of crazy. Gaz said in a annoyed manner while shaking her head.
"Huh wonder what's wrong up with Banks? "I don't believe I've seen him like this. "Or at least not to my knowledge. "I have and I hate it. "You tend to hate a lot of things daughter.
"Yeah it's part of who I am. "Dib doesn't make it any better. "Banks is slowly making it worse with outbursts like that. "Then again my limit for crazy was broken a long time ago.
"Look uh I am going to take these papers and observe them with some of the other doctors in the hopes of trying to get a better read on his condition. The Doctor says concerned for his safety after the rant Banks had.
"That sounds great we'll be waiting here for you to return. Professor Membrane says cheerfully as The Doctor leaves the room with the papers looking nervous as he goes to find his colleagues.
This leaves both Professor Membrane and Gaz to wait for him to return. They both choose to wait and relax while waiting for The Doctor to return soon.
Granite after how Banks acted at the comment he had made he probably left the hospital. Could you honestly blame him after the reaction that Banks had?
Believe me I wouldn't know what to do cause that was not at all how he thought Banks would react. Dib could've got an answer from him if you know he was conscious.
No he was still out of it and unable to speak. Though he would be curious of the reason Banks acted the way that he did. He acted like this when Tak had Mimi try and strangle him to death.
These were all questions that had to be answered but no we would have to wait. We will have to go through some more story for that. Dib on the other hand was about to have some interesting guests pay him a visit but for what?
We transition to Dib who's lying down not in his hospital bed but on the ground. Trust me I have been in a hospital bed it's not that comfortable. Meaning the ground might be better for him.
Upon further observation we see that it's a giant asteroid floating through space. There were other smaller asteroids around the area and the sky was a dark purple with stars cause space.
He wakes up to see that he where is and is in disbelief. "Huh where am I? "Dad? "Gaz? "ANYBODY!? Dib slowly stands up after shouting at space sky not knowing what to do.
"Is anybody there? "Doc am I ok or is these side effects from the medicine. Dib notices that he is able to stand again and makes a comment about it while still sounding confused.
"Huh I..am able to stand. "This can't be I thought I was hurt. "What happened to the hospital? "Am I dead or is this a dream? Dib says wondering to himself what could possibly be the reason he is here.
"Is this an asteroid? "Am I in space? Dib looked to see stars shining and smaller asteroids moving around the comforting background. Granite it's not as comforting for Dib seeing how is unable to tell how he got here.
His train of thought got interrupted by a bright blue light shining from behind him. Part of him was scared to try and see if this light would give him answers.
When he turned around he saw two strange looking creatures staring back at him. They both were floating in the air and stared back not saying a word.
One of them managed to say something and the one that did had a female voice. "Ah greetings Dib. "It is an honor for us to finally see you.
"Yes when we had found out what had happened to you we couldn't wait any longer to contact you. "Wh..who are you? "Where am I at and where is my family?
Dib asks slowly moving back in fear at what these things were. He didn't know if they were friendly or not. "Calm yourself Dib, we are not here to hurt you.
The female alien says trying to make Dib relax. "Tell me who you are and I'll consider it "Is that all you request. "Uh yeah? Dib says still scared at what exactly was going on here.
"Alright then. "I am Deila and the one to my right is Qaien. "We are both from the planet Meekrob. We hear the female alien say in hopes to calm Dib down.
"Meekrob? Dib remembered that planet and his memory of it wasn't a good one. He remembered back to when Zim made Dib live through his entire life where he had achieved all he had wanted to do.
Naturally when he heard her say that he instantly lost all his fear and confronted the two. "I am not falling for this trick again Zim. "Honestly didn't think you'd believe I'd fall for it again.
"This isn't what this is Dib. Deila says trying to calm Dib down and talk sense into him. "There is no Zim to be involved in us being here. "She's right we're here to talk to you.
"Don't try and lie, I already know this is some fake scenario you placed me in Zim. "You know I'd ask how you managed to sneak me out of the hospital but I know you wouldn't tell me.
"We aren't here to deceive you. "Please we're here to guide you. "To what my death? "No that is the opposite of what we are doing here. "Alright then prove it to me.
"On second don't do that cause I know you'll do anything to try and trick me. "If you are doubtful of our intentions then please give us a chance to show you. "Nothing you do will work.
"Could you at least give us a chance? "We wish to prove that we're friendly. "Alright fine but if you try anything suspicious then I am not falling for it. "We won't I promise.
"Thank you Dib thank you for allowing us this chance to show you that we are friendly. "Yeah don't expect me act friendly yet Zim. Dib says still not wanting to trust the two Meekrob.
Deila's body starts to shine a bright blue before a portal forms in front of her. Qaien proceeds to enter the portal leaving Deila and Dib on the asteroid. A screen then forms beside the portal and it showed the hospital room that Dib was in.
Dib was still unconscious while Gaz and Professor Membrane was there but were asleep. Banks and Isaac had went home due to them being asked to leave by hospital staff.
While he stared at the screen Dib looked confused at what he was seeing. His jaw dropped to the floor when he saw Qaien in the room floating next to his bed. "Wait how did he get there?
"Look closer. Deila says as Dib looks closer to see a bright blue beam enter his body. "WAIT..WHAT IS HE DOING!? "Relax Dib and take a look at your arm.
Dib reluctantly listens to the command and watches as the grotesque wound on his shoulder had disappeared. Qaien then flys back through the portal and returns to Dib And Deila.
The portal then closes as they both stare at Dib and await an answer. Dib though couldn't find a word to begin to describe what he had saw and was utterly dumbfounded.
"Did anybody see you? "No I did it without anybody seeing me. "That's good. "Hold on what did you do to me? "Me I healed you Dib. "Wha..what? "Yes I did that to hopefully prove that we're friendly and mean no harm.
"No that can't be what you did to me. "You shouldn't worry so much Dib. "Me and Qaien seek only to guide you. "What does that mean? "Guide me to what?
"Guide you on a quest to take down The Irken Armada once and for all. "For you Dib are the only one capable of doing such a thing. "No offense but I still am trying to get rid of Zim.
"How do you expect me to take on the rest of his irken colleagues? "Perhaps not before you couldn't but you are a different person then you once were.
"Two Earth years ago if we had told you this you would've probably been dead already. "No you are far smarter and more of a hero than you ever could ever be.
"I nearly died deactivating Tak's Anti Terraformer. "That was only against one irken. "Nevermind all the other times Zim managed to not only kill me but conquered Earth.
"Your doubts are the only thing holding you back from greatness Dib. "That and your tendency to be the aggressor when you don't need to be.
"Really? "Yes. "You said you two had information that you wanted to show me. "That we do. "Only issue is we didn't know how exactly you'd handle it.
Qaien says trying not to seem rude to Dib. "Believe me I'll be able to handle it. "You certain of that? "Yes whatever it is can't be weirder than anything else I've seen.
"Alright then allow us to explain. "The thing is Dib you are quite a special human being. "You are the only one capable of saving us from the tyranny of The Irken Armada.
"Huh? "You have reason to be confused and that's understandable. "You are the only one our people could find that was strong enough mentally to be able to stop them once and for all.
"Though you were not the only one. "Cause there used to be others capable of being the hero the universe needs. "Key word in the sentence being used to.
"How many were there? "Five. "You are the only one that remains that we know can stop them. "It is an upmost priority that you stay alive. "Wait when exactly did these others die.
"Two of them were killed by irken soldiers, two are in a maximum security prison and one of them is in hiding. "Such a shame that this happened.
"Can't you break them out and find the other one? "Believe me we could if it were possible. "They have made technology capable of hurting us leaving us to stand and watch.
"Seeing that the stuff they use on everybody else doesn't work on us. "Me and Deila have tried to find the other one but he must be a really good hider.
"Is there anything else that you can tell me? "Dib asks seeming intrigued by this conversation. "We have learned that Zim is trying to construct a mind control gauntlet to use on you.
"Wait a mind control gauntlet? "Yes he had hopes of constructing something else to use but it kept falling apart. "What was it? "Some sort of portal to send you to another dimension.
"Good thing is that he wasn't able to build that. "Inter dimensional travel requires a large amount of intellect and careful craftsmanship. "Do not worry though you shouldn't have to worry about that.
"I agree. Deila chimes into the conversation by agreeing with her fellow Meekrob. "Uh do I not worry about the gauntlet or the portals? "The portals as those are not possible to create.
"As for the gauntlet there is still time for you to stop him before he constructs it. "How? "The gauntlet is currently on Irk being worked on by Aeiob an irken lab worker.
"This is all great but how am I going to stop Zim and his leaders? "I struggle to stop him here despite finally having backup for once. "Have faith in your abilities Dib and we will win this battle.
"Until then we will guide you through this battle. "Though Dib when the you win you mustn't kill Zim or any of them. "What? "They have no issue about killing us slowly and gloat about it.
"Yes but if you were to say kill The Tallest and the rest of The Armada not only will you be as evil as them. "A much more evil threat will arise and try and conquer the universe.
"One that will do much worse than The Armada. "That's crazy. "It's supposed to be. "Another thing you should know is that Zim is a defective meaning not programeed into the control brains.
"At least we can say that is one positive to all this. "Defective? "Yes this is what irkens like him are called if they go against orders given to them.
"That or by having outsider information cloud what they were programmed to do. "His mission we learned was given to him by The Tallest in hopes of getting rid of him.
"He never acts like it. "On second that he acted like it once and used it to trick me. "Something that almost gave him exactly what he wanted and that was the detruction of the human race.
"Hm that is interesting. "Do you two mind telling me what exactly I need to do to save the universe? "The main thing is to never stop fighting. "Keep those friends of yours and your family by your side.
"Most of all never trust Zim or any other irken even if you are forced to fight alongside them. "Cause doing that will only bring deception and other issues that we don't need.
"Until then Dib we have to go. "We have a troublemaker on our planet. "One that's crossed the line against an irken hoping to conquer our home.
"Wait when am I going to see you two again? "Soon Dib until then me and Deila have to tend to our own business but we will cross paths again. "Remember to heed our advice and know that you can win this fight.
"I have one more question. "What is it? "How exactly am I going to stop The Irken Armada without killing any of them? "That we'll look into but once we find out we shall tell you.
Qaien starts to glow a bright blue before another portal forms. "Return to your body Dib and rest up. "We will see each other again that we promise you.
"Wait I am not in my body. "Yeah if we had tried to have this conversation a normal way we would've been discovered by humans that don't need to know about this quest.
"That is one of many issues that we want to try and avoid. "If you understand. "Don't worry I do. Dib says answering Qaien calmly which is unlike how he was earlier.
"Goodbye Dib see you in the future. "Goodbye and thank you for everything that you told me. "It was our honor. Qaien says as Dib walks through the portal and back to the hospital.
He opened his eyes once he made it back and looked at his shoulder. It was in fact healed and was no longer hurting as much as it did before. "They were friendly.
Dib refrained from shouting out with excitement cause he wanted to be respectful to his family. He instead chose to take the Deila and Qaien's advice and get some rest.
When he wakes up the next day he was going to have quite the story to share. Hopefully it goes how he wanted it will though knowing his luck it will most definitely not be how he wanted.
It was about eleven in the morning nearly noon when Dib wakes up to see that The Doctor was looking at him speechless. "This is unlike anything I have ever seen before.
"He seemingly healed overnight. "That is interesting how exactly did he heal that quickly? "I don't know? Professor Membrane was also awake and speaking to The Doctor.
He also was in disbelief at what he was seeing as he thought that these were wounds that couldn't heal as fast they did. "Good morning Dib we have great news to share with you.
The Doctor says as he noticed that Dib was awake and looking around the room. "You seemed to have had a miracle overnight. "We noticed that you somehow managed to fully heal while you were asleep.
"Don't worry I know. We hear Dib say through the mask he had on that made him able to breath. "This is a medical miracle. "Never would I have thought this would end up happening.
"That's the beauty of modern medication. "It truly is quite a blessing that we have such things. Professor Membrane says indirectly responding to The Doctor's excitement.
We see the door to the room open and it was both Banks and Isaac who looked as excited as The Doctor did. "Dib we heard the news that you'd be let out early.
"You had somehow healed overnight. Isaac says this like he can't believe that this is the case. Banks on the other hand stares at The Doctor and goes to apologize.
"Look uh I am sorry for how I acted yesterday. "It's that I uh I really didn't want to lose him. "We're friends and I need him as much as he needs me.
"Sorta figured that seeing how you acted like you wanted me dead. "Yeah it's uh really difficult for me to explain. "I'd tell you but you'd think we're crazy.
"Can't be any worse than how you acted yesterday. "Trust me it most definitely can. "Look basically I am trying to say that I am sorry for how I acted.
"Apology accepted. "Alright I will go ahead and get the release papers for you. "I will be going alongside you for this. "That won't be necessary Mr.Membrane.
"Besides it won't take that long. "No I have heard such things from doctors like you before and I refuse to let you go alone. "I don't see the reason that you want to go.
"Because I don't fully trust the system that hospitals have when a patient needs to be released. "What's wrong with the system we have?
"A lot. "There is to much to go over and we don't have the time or patience to go over it. "Alright I guess you can follow me there. "Great then let's going that way my son can leave this place and go back to how he used to be.
Professor Membrane leaves the room first and The Doctor soon follows him. "Guess our prayers were answered Dib. "Your soon going to be out of here.
Isaac says excited to see Dib finally be let out of the hospital. "Say if you don't mind me asking, do you know how you healed as quickly as you did?
"Yeah actually I do. "Though I doubt you'll believe me. "I promise you I'll believe whatever it is because I've learned that there is way more to this alien stuff than I first thought.
"Same here. "I thought Zim would be the craziest thing I learned about but I was wrong. "I guess it's cool. "My only issue is that it's more of an incentive for him to be a weirdo.
"Anyways I am for once actually curious about this. "Thanks? "Thank us later in the meantime say what you need to say. "Alright the thing is while we all were sleeping I had two guests.
"These guests brought me to some weird asteroid in the middle of space. "They then told me about how I need to ready myself and you all for a quest of some kind.
"Quest? "Yeah they were both creatures from the planet Meekrob. "They are well known as beings of pure energy. "Pure energy? "Yeah it's far more complicated than that.
"Both of them informed me of what Zim is plotting and that I am the only one they can trust to stop Zim and his leaders. Dib says getting as excited as he could while still hooked up.
"My God this is far more complex than I was hoping it be. "Agreed but this is still awesome. "Imagine how our doubters are going to feel when we show them we were right all along.
"Dib what did these figures what did they look like? "They were two bright blue creatures that floated in mid air. "Deila and Qaien were there names. "They healed me while I stood back in shock.
"How is that possible? "They had to find a way to talk to me where they couldn't be caught. "As they left they told me that they'd soon be back to lend us a hand.
"While they did what they had to do I had to get ready and have you all by my side while they were gone. "That's crazy. "It's Dib did you expect anything different.
"I don't always act crazy. "No but you do about ninety eight percent of the time. "It's extremely rare for you to act normal and have it be genuine.
"That's not funny Gaz. "You annoyed? "A little. "Good that was the point of me doing that. The door opens and we see that The Doctor and Professor Membrane had returned to the room with the release papers.
He then takes off the all the medical stuff that was hooked up to Dib. Including the IV which is absolutely a form of torture they don't tell you about.
"Dib if you could take this pen and write your name right there. The Doctor then hands Dib a pen that way he could as he was asked. Obviously what else would he do with the pen.
Draw a work of art on the clipboard..huh that doesn't sound that bad. He writes his name on the piece of paper and hands it back to The Doctor.
"There you are free to go and enjoy your life. "Do be careful not to get hurt like that again. "Believe me I won't. Dib says as he climbs off the bed and puts his trench coat back on.
He had to get a replacement for the old one because you know an alien laser sorta destroyed it. "You ready to go? "Yeah dad I've been ready for a long time.
They all proceed to leave the hospital and head back to Dib's House and celebrate him finally being released from the hospital. He had a long road to recovery but he is back.
You can't tell but my enthusiasm is through the roof and not fabricated at all. Dib though after this celebration would have to prepare for the battle that Deila and Qaien told him about.
It was a long night of partying and celebrating Dib returning from the hospital. They went all out and celebrated by doing all sorts of party things that we'd be here all day going over.
No before you ask it wasn't the snob type of party that leaves holes in the wall. It was a party that didn't get anybody arrested due to them being a fool or end up in the hospital with a broken neck.
When the party had ended and Banks and Isaac left and went home is where things got interesting. It was about one in the morning and Dib was currently asleep.
That was until he woke up to hear the window to his room open. He looked up and saw that the window was indeed open. Half asleep and confused he goes to close the window.
Once he had closed it he heard a voice say his name clear as day. "It's good to see that your awake Dib. This instantly woke him up and when he turned around to see who said it and it was a figure who stared back at him.
It was wearing some samurai type armor and upon further observation he saw that it was a vortian. "Wake your family and I'll kill you where you stand.
The Vortian said while holding a serrated laser katana in Dib's direction. "Who are you? Dib said whispering listening to the figures request. "Do not worry. "For I am here to relay a message from my grandmaster.
"That being what? "Our clan is no longer interested in aiding Tak or any irken in destroying this planet. "Yeah I sorta figured that when he ran away.
"Leiok did not run away. "Sometimes it is best to not be the a aggressor and regroup and recover. "Whatever you say. "I was told to also relay to you to no longer pursue us.
"To stay away from us and our business for the foreseeable future. "He expects me to agree to that after everything he's done to me. "I'd be grateful that he chose not to kill you at that hospital.
"That's cause Tak was giving him orders. "That was until we found out her promises were nothing but lies to get us to be pawns in her game.
"Really? "Yes. "As for your friends you are to relay this message to them as well. "One last thing and that is Zim is ours to kill not you. "I still need to expose him to everybody.
"That is no longer an option for you. "Says who? "You know the answer to that. "How about he says that to me himself? "He is busy getting ready to get rid of him.
"You seem certain that you can kill him? "That is because unlike you we have the skill needed to rid the universe of Zim and his madness. "You've had two Earth years to get rid of him and failed.
"When our grandmaster finally confronts him he is going to kill him. "This time without Tak barking orders at us to keep him alive. "Or in your case to prove your not crazy.
"Leiok wishes he could lend you a hand with that but it would let Zim know we're here. We hear The Vortian say to Dib in the most obvious show of a lack of respect you could imagine.
"You shouldn't have to worry though. "If you choose to stay out of it that is. "Unlikely. "Fine but don't say we didn't give you a chance. The Figure places down a tool that starts glowing purple.
"When our grandmaster is ready we hope you make the right choice and stay out of our business. "Farewell Dib until next time. "Oh and say hi to Qaien for us.
"Huh wait you know him? The Vortian walks through the purple light after Dib asked that question. Both The Vortian and the tool disappeared as Dib stood back not knowing what to do.
Dib was speechless not knowing what to say after what The Vortian had said. How did he know about Qaien and how did Leiok know that they had stopped Tak.
Many questions filled Dib's mind as he thought to himself what he was going to do. Sure he wanted Zim dead but he also wanted to prove to the world that he wasn't crazy.
Quite the dilemma that's in front of him. "What am I going to do? "How am I going to do all of this? "Zim, Leiok and his clan. "Not to mention all of what Qaien and Deila told me.
The door to his room opens and it's Gaz staring back wondering what he was doing. "Thought I heard you talking to yourself. "Let me guess you saw a crazy man in a chicken suit again.
"No it's..nevermind your not going to care anyways. "Tell me and I might. "Really? "Not making any promises. "Alright then. "Do you remember Leiok?
"The weird bent legged ninja. "Yes that guy. "He had one of his people sneak into my room and relay a message. "It was around the lines to no longer pursuit them and to stay out of thier way and allow them to kill Zim.
"Wasn't that what you wanted for Zim to be dead? "Sorta I wanted him alive to prove to everybody that I am not crazy. "Plus what Qaien and Deila said to me.
"My brain hurts thinking about it all. "That's called a migraine. "Not funny. "What exactly do I do? "Do what you usually do and that's do something stupid and force me to join in.
"It makes it easier with your friends. "Yeah but it seems like all of this is to much for me to handle. "You know you make it difficult for me to be nice when you act like this right?
"Sorry. "Quit the moping act and start being the Dib that people like them hate. "Persistent and obsessive. "Thanks Gaz. "What exactly you doing up this late?
"I wanted a cup of water. "That and your whispering woke me up. "Uh sorry. "I'll let it slide this one time but don't expect me to be nice if you do it again.
"Don't worry I'll try my best. "Guess that's the best I'll ever get out of you. "Yeah sorry about waking you up. "Goodnight. "Goodnight Gaz. The two siblings say to each other before Gaz leaves the room.
Once Gaz left the room Dib heads back to sleep and try to rest off everything that happened. Tonight he was going to try and relax and might due the same tomorrow to be sure.
In the meantime we have a lot to unpack but I shouldn't spoil anything cause that's not fun. Dib realizes all that's in front of him and while nervous he knows that he can do this.
He isn't going to give up in his quest to save both Earth and apparently the entire universe from The Irken Armada. Quite the large task in front of him and who knows if he finishes it.
Seeing how his luck is sometimes he might find a way to achieve this goal. It was only a matter of time before he could finally be the hero that he needs to be in order to save Earth.
We see A mysterious figure behind a table speaking to another figure that was in the same room as them. "I see you've let yourself in. The Mysterious Figure said to his guest annoyed.
The person that he was talking to had some blue cloth outfit on with black metal plate around the chest area. His head was a grey blob type head that moved around with little effort.
"Of course I did. "Seeing how Yebot failed to do the task he was given. "He had two invaders to fight. "More than you would've been able to handle.
"I'll have you know that I am far more capable than you think. "I would've been able to prove it by getting rid of Skoodge. "Yet here I am without anybody to go after.
"Let me guess your wanting to know what you can do. "Yeah. "Tell you what, how about in order to prove yourself to the rest of us. "You save Yebot from Irk and then and only then can we talk.
"What about the guy going after Grappa? "He is handling it. "He promised to get rid of him and I am holding him to his word. "If he fails then we have an unneeded setback on our hands.
"You should get going before you have a setback of your own. "Sure I get the hint. The blob headed creature leaves the room to start his newfound goal of saving Yebot.
The Mysterious Figure on the other hand hits the desk as hard as he could in frustration. "Fight back all that you want. "We will be the ones that win even if it makes me tear my antennas off with my own hands.
"We are undeniable and inevitable. "Eventually you all will fall before us in death. "I will be the one to lead the charge to our new era and that is the way of the future.
A figure is seen staring at a computer in inputting a command of sorts. Eventually we see that the figure is none other than Zim. With Skoodge standing beside him looking at what he was doing.
"There I've sent the message to all the other invaders. "Soon they will know that they need to be on the lookout for anybody trying to kill them. "You sure that their going to get it?
"One can only hope Skoodge. "Until then you have quite a day tomorrow. "You will begin your first day in your mission in deceiving Dib and his family into thinking your interested in joining them.
"It is quite the intriguing thing to see him be let out this early. "Seems a little weird to spy on him to this extent don't you think? "Trust me you don't know Dib enough to see how he is.
"Spying on Zim is one of the main traits that makes him easy to trick. "I don't doubt he does the same but sneaking a camera to spy on him seems a little much.
"I don't think it is. "Of course you'd say it isn't. Skoodge says slightly irritated at Zim's response. "You don't need to worry cause once you gain his trust then we can move onto the next phase in what I have in store for him.
"You sure he is going to buy it? "Of course he will. "The only thing you need to do is make sure that he doesn't find you out. "Do you think that you can do that?
"Believe me I know I'll be able to do that. "That is if he believes me. "He will of that I am certain. "You doubting it is only going to make him see though it.
"Of course it's me having a lot on my mind is all. Skoodge says with a laugh that was not at all genuine. "I am sure you'll be able to handle it. "Hopefully I will be.
"Computer. "Yes? "Did you get an update from Aeiob yet? "No he didn't send an update yet. "What if he hasn't received Yebot? "That is highly unlikely unless something happened with the pod.
"The pod malfunctioning would most definitely kill our test subject before he even gets there. "Keep trying to get some update from him. "Alright I'll keep trying.
"Great that will be all. Zim then turns his attention back to Skoodge and continues speaking with him. "Things seem to be going the right way for us don't you think?
"Yeah it is, honestly didn't think it would. "This is exactly how I hoped our alliance would be. "Effective and unstoppable. "Soon we will conquer destroy this loathsome planet.
"Then The Tallest will know they made the right decision giving me this mission. "Sounds great. "I know. "We should get going and go over what you need to do one more time.
"Do we have to cause we already have like eight times? "We will go over it as much as possible as long as it means we get our desired result. "There is no option for us to fail this mission.
"We fail then we are as good as dead. "How do you know that? "The Tallest do not accept failure meaning they'd most definitely kill us for not doing what they ask.
"If that's the case then we should..you know go over it. "Exactly good to see you see the severity of our situation. "Follow me and we shall get started.
Both irkens walk off to another part of the room and begin yet again to go over Skoodge's role of deceiving Dib and the rest of his friends and family that way Zim can go and make his move.
That move being to destroy this planet in the name of The Irken Armada. Thankfully to some people we have Dib who will stop at nothing to stop them from achieving that goal.
Will he manage to stop them or will history repeat from the movie. Instead Zim wins and isn't stopped before he does win. Only one way to get that answer also patience but you know I am trying to say.
Thanks to everybody who chose to stay around this story in particular. You know how it is sometimes with Dib and how he acts. Besides all that I feel a few extra layers had to be added here.
Our first seeds of The Final Battle are planted and it's only a matter of time before they are ready. Like I said patience is going to be quite the virtue in this storyline.
It will all be worth it as we move further along the path to that battle. Until then hopefully you choose to stick around. I have no choice cause you know I am the author and all.
Would seem a little weird for me to do that but hey hopefully I don't get to that point. Let's cross our fingers that I am able to stay calm cool and collected through this.
Anyways with all that information out of the way I want to say thank you all once again. Stay safe like always and God Bless You All see you all soon and goodbye.
