Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim. Another day, Jhonen Vasquez, another day...
Here is Chapter 2. Ta-da. This chapter explains why the story is called "The Betrayal". This story is truely my brother's idea for what would have been his imaginary episode of Invader Zim. With his help in a few spots, I took his story and put it in writing. The poppyseeds part from Chapter 1 was my idea, though.

Chapter 2
Zim and Dib were in Zim's lab, much to the annoyance of both of them. Dib hated how he couldn't have technology like Zim's; Zim hated Dib's just being there. The two were studying Kloof's DNA, or what skin cells came off when Dib was sent flying across the cafeteria.
Gaz was paying no attention to the boys as she took another sip of her soda and concentrated harder on her latest game, "Pig Cannon 13".
"Aha!" Zim shouts, thrusting his fist into the air and nearly socking Dib's already bruised and battered face in the process. "This Kloof thing-boy actually is Irken!"
"But he didn't react to the Poop Cola the same way you and Tak did!" Dib pointed out.
When Zim opened up his mouth to respond, Tak, Mimi and Tak's companion Kloof materialized suddenly in Zim's lab, which caused Gir to start a long, continuous scream while smiling (Gaz still really didn't give a damn). The three purposely had their disguises turned off. Kloof had a cyborg-like appearance that Zim had never seen on an Irken, and Dib had never seen at all. Kloof had shiny robotic metal arms and legs and his head was completely robotic above the mouth, which had nasty-looking scars around it. He also wore two electronic-looking swords on his back.
After being signaled by Tak, Mimi darted about and shot a sticky-looking electronic device onto Gir, who made an odd gurgling noise and fell down.
"Zim!" Kloof yelled. Zim hesitantly turned his head towards Kloof to see what he had to say. "You may be wondering about my robotic appearance. Well see, the same idiocy of yours that trapped Tak in the control room butchered me! I had just passed the invader exam at the top of my class and was in a teleporter at the time." Kloof paused. "So you may be wondering why I'm here…"
"To get revenge on me and take my mission?" Zim said, remembering Kloof was working for Tak.
"No, no…to thank you." Kloof said.
"That's right he- TO THANK YOU!" Tak shouted in disbelief, changing gears drastically from her triumphant smile.
On that note, Kloof spun around and grabbed his swords off his back. He held one to the neck of a very surprised Tak, to ensure she didn't fight back as he sliced Mimi to pieces with his other sword.
Kloof let out a small, satisfied sigh before explaining his actions. "After the Vortian scientists that rebuilt me were enslaved, when replacing parts of my brain, they decided not to replace the loyalty center that kept me loyal to the Tallest and the Irken Empire. What Irkens are doing is wrong, so I am now working for the Resisty." Kloof turned to Gaz and Dib. "And I need the help of you two in assassinating the Tallest." Dib agreed without missing a beat. "And I'll offer you an advanced modular alien gaming system in return…" Gaz agreed upon hearing that.
Kloof leads the two into Tak's new ship, where they proceed to take off. Tak would've stopped them, had she not been frozen in surprise.
With a scowl on her face, Tak halfheartedly began to fix Mimi. With a carried-out sigh, she reluctantly said, "Zim, much as I hate saying this, to defeat that traitor…" Tak almost spat. "We'll have to…" another pause for a swallow. "…work together."
"I realize this!" Zim confirmed as he pulled the gadget off Gir. "You know, I sort of remember that Dib had your old ship fixed up at his house…"
"My old ship!" Tak yelled. "With that I can kick his metal rear…"
