Invader Zim- The End?
Chapter 5Back at Zim's house everyone had made himself or herself comfortable for the time being. Tak stood in the middle of the room pacing. Dib was seated on the sofa, next to Kim, drinking hot cocoa. Gaz was beside Zim who was beside Gir. Only Zim was not drinking the delicious chocolaty drink.
Tak thought to herself for a moment and then turned back to them. "We have a problem…"
"Of course we do," stated Dib, "you're back. Are you plotting to take over the Earth again?"
"Or maybe you've come for my robot bee?" Gir held the robot bee close to him.
Tak raised an eyebrow. "I thought that was Zim's…"
Zim shrugged. "It makes him happy. Anyway, why are you here Tak?"
"Like I said… We have a problem."
"Well then what is it?"
"The Massive. I'm sure that you would have found out by now Zim."
He nodded sadly. Dib looked at him. "I don't get it. What happened to Zim's fleet?"
"It's been destroyed…"
"What?"
"DESTROYED! THE MASSIVE ARMADA WAS DESTROYED!" Zim flopped backwards and sunk into the sofa in grief. "I still can't believe it…"
Dib laughed in delight. "Haha! That means you have no power anymore! You have no reason to take the Earth over anymore! I win! I Win!"
"Not quite Dib. " Dib turned back to Tak who was crossing her arms and tapping her foot. He sat down as he had stood up and listened to her. "You see, whatever took out the Massive is strong enough to take out more than one planet in a day."
"You're kidding!"
"No, I'm quite serious."
Gaz spoke up. "OK, I want to know something."
"What?"
"Why would the people that destroyed Zim's fleet be any danger to Earth? We're a primitive planet compared to you guys."
"Although that may be true this villain… or should I say villains… is a threat to the entire cosmos."
"Villains… Cosmos? You don't mean?"
"I do."
"But that means…"
"They survived."
"That's not possible!"
"Ah, but they found a way because they are back and they are angrier than before."
"OK… Dib got to his feet. "WHO ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?"
Tak frowned at him. "I will explain it to you. I had forgotten that Earth did not know this tale. It was told to our little smeets right after birth near all the time."
Dib sat down.
"Ok, well, back when the tallest were much younger, yet remained tall and great, someone threatened the safety of our planet…"
"Die!" A burst of energy shot from the bowels of the black ship. It engulfed a building and tore it down through molecules. "Die! Die Irkens!"
"Stop, stop, stop…" The simulation halted and a tall, green man entered the room. It was Red, one of the mighty Tallest. The one in the simulation stood to his feet at attention and bowed.
"My Tallest!"
Red rolled his eyes. "I told you that I am not YOUR Tallest. Just call me Red ok?"
He nodded.
"Anyways. You have this all wrong. For one this you're aiming is far off. You should try to aim directly at the main buildings of a planet. You should only go after the others for fun afterwards. The main issue is the government so take them down first. Secondly, you yelled it all wrong as well. You don't yell' Die Irkens'. You yell 'Die Bludgeons'. They are from the planet Bludge and so they are Bludgeons. WE are Irkens you idiot." Red pointed to himself with a long, skinny finger."
"I am so very sorry my Tallest." The little alien bowed even lower.
"I am not YOUR Tallest! Your Tallest are back on your home planet."
"We don't have Tallest."
"You don't?" He shook his head. "Well then how do you have leaders?"
He stood back up. "We use a democratic system whereas the people have a say in who will lead us. The candidates each proclaim what they will do to benefit our cause and then a vote is made to see who will become our next leader. It is the one with the most votes that wins and so the second merely goes along with his or her life, as does the rest of the planet. Then the winner has to do what he promised he would or we can revolt."
"That's a stupid way to live."
"I know. That's why I came to you."
Red rubbed his bare, green head. "Well… I guess you can call me that then."
"Yes, my Tallest."
"STOP THAT! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME YOU PIECE OF GREEN CRUD! YOU'RE NOT STICKING ANYTHING IN ME! I SAID GET AWAY! YOU COME ANY CLOSER WITH THAT THING AND I'LL SHOVE IT THROGH YOUR EAR!" A blue, half naked figure ran out of a room to the right and smashed right in to the one that had only just been in the simulation. They looked near exactly alike except that one of them, the one that had only a pair of heavy, armored pants on, had a scar on his left eye. That eye had been pretty must useless since he injured it. He looked at the one he was lying on and then up at the Irken leader. For a moment he was speechless. He leapt off his brother and stood with his legs together and his hand on his forehead. "My Tallest!"
Red looked down at the two aliens. He noticed their similarities. Both had very short, dark blue hair and fairly muscular bodies for their age. They each had legs that bent back the opposite way at the knees and their fingers were long like claws. Red stared down at the twins and frowned. He looked at the one who was standing and then helped the other up. "You should watch where you're going Gagnor. You almost hit ME."
"I am sorry my Tallest."
"Gagnor! Come back!"
He leapt at the voice and then looked around. As he ducked behind the simulation chair a female Irken appeared in the doorway. She looked around and then bowed when she saw Red. "Excuse me but have you seen Gagnor? He was supposed to get a vaccination for pain. Battle cane be harsh you know."
"No…" red signaled the Irken girl to the simulation chair. "I haven't seen him anywhere." She took his sign and slunk over to the back of the chair. As she knelt down she saw Gagnor's derriere sticking out. She took her chance and pocked him in the waist with a small, purple device.
The blue body leapt up faster than anyone could have though possible. Gagnor whipped around the side of the chair and looked at a black mark on his waist. He frowned and shook his fist at the Irken. "One of these days Tenn. One of these days."
"Oh, be quiet. Everyone's getting one of these. Even Zim took one."
"Are you serious."
She nodded. She bowed to Red once more and then hurried out of the room. The three looked a little puzzled for a moment. Gagnex and Gagnor looked up at Red. The alien stood stalk still. "You had ZIM become an invader?"
"Well he's very good when it comes to destruction. He can always tell where the main government buildings are and he has that kind of personality that you just HAVE to obey so he's good with the workers. Purple and I think he'll be a good addiction to our effort of galaxy conquest."
The twins looked at each other and then shrugged. "Whatever you say," they said in unison. "But you may regret it." They stared at one another with frowns. Their eyebrows nearly touched their noses. "Don't do that!" They both spoke at the same time.
Red laughed.

Gagnor and Gagnex were on the planet's surface. They did not even need to slink. All they did was walk on by all the people and make their way to the heart of the capitol city. All was normal on Bludge. The rest of their kind walked up and down the large streets. Not a vehicle to be seen. (Bludgeons only walk so they have fairly small cities. They don't use vehicles. This makes them very strong.) As the two walked into the dead center of the city they looked around. No one suspected a thing.
They sat down on a fountain spewing green fluid into the base. Gagnex took a sip from the liquid and breathed out. "Now we wait for sunset."
Gagnor smiled. "And then…" he threw his hands into the air. "KABOOM!" People stared at him for a moment. He noticed and lost his balance on the side of the fountain. The blue alien slipped and fell, on his back, into the 'water'. Gagnex laughed.
Gagnor lifted himself out and spat a jet of the fluid at his twin. "Shut up."
The day seemed to pass so slowly. The twins would pass time by playing in the field close to the fountain but it bored them. Soon they met up with some other people and, being careful not to befriend them, played a game of Hirin Ball. Gagnex injured most of the others and so the children went to play somewhere else. "Cowards!" A woman paid them to help her carry her groceries to her house, which was not too far away. They found some spare change on the sidewalk and prank called a few people only to have one man be right next to the phone when he answered. They were chased away back to the fountain and there Gagnor had the man running away in pain. "Coward!" Gagnex discovered a few little females playing with dolls in the park where they had been playing. Gagnor pulled the heads off and then Gagnex tossed them into the mouth of the fountain. The girls cried until their dolls' heads flew out of the fountain and they were all soaked. They ran home screaming after that. Gagnor chased them to the end of the street. "Girly Cowards!"
Close to sunset the boys were high with excitement and bored to the bone. They both sighed with boredom. Gagnex looked up. "Only a little bit longer and then the fun will really start."
"Good. I'm so hungry that I could eat a… a… a sun! I'm so hungry that I could eat a sun!" He looked at his brother. "Say, how much money do we have?"
"With the money we won off those Hirin players… The money from the old hag… The money you stole from the insides of those dolls… Talk about an odd place to put money." His twin nodded in agreement. "Plus what we found… Enough to buy a quick dinner for the both of us."
Gagnor leapt to his feet. "Let's hurry. The Tallest will be mad if we're late." Together they ran down the street to a restaurant they had seen before. Gagnex bought some food and they ran back to the fountain to eat. As they chomped down they noticed that the sun was almost down. Gagnor stuffed his last bit of food into his mouth and looked at his brother. "Time to start." He climbed up and took a purple and pink device out of his pocket. He grimaced. "Why'd it have to be pink as well as purple?"
Gagnex climbed on top of his brother's shoulders and took the device from him. His slender claws pulled the device high over his head and then drove it down into the very base of the pipe.
The fluid that had been coming out stopped flowing and was blocked by the device.
Gagnex came back down and nodded to his brother. "All set." He pulled out a purple square from inside his pockets and flipped a switch on. A view of the Tallest overseeing a landscape of the planet Irk came up before them. "My Tallest. The device has been set and we are ready to evacuate."
Purple nodded. "Very good you two. Although you are not Irkens you have the fighting power and will of one. You have been or great help to us. Anyway." He pressed a button on the desk next to him. "We regret to inform you, however, that because you are not Irkens our machines will not be able to lock onto your signature and so we will not be able to take you back onto our ship."
The twins went wide-eyed and quiet.
"It was great having you two take down your own planet." Red stepped into the view. "But now, because you're Bludgeons as well, we must destroy you."
"But we thought…" Gagnex looked at his brother and then turned back to the Irkens. "We thought that we were welcome on Irk. No one will accept us anywhere else and we thought that we were good enough to…"
"To what? Live on Irk? No. You're Bludgeons and no one likes Bludgeons. That's why no other race would let you in. That's the reason Bludgeons are only located in one part of the cosmos on one planet. Because no one else will let them on their planet and because they're so primitive that they don't even have any vehicles."
Purple snorted. "The only reason we let you come was because we were short an invader for your planet!"
The twins started blurting out random words. "But you said that we could live with you on Irk with the rest of the Irkens!"
"Lies."
"You said that we could help you fight the war that was to come!"
"Lies."
"You said that we would get to pilot ships and kill people!"
"Lies."
"You said that we were great fighters and that we would be perfect for the cause!"
"Lies."
"You said that we would get to blow stuff up!"
"That was not a lie. You are going to blow something up. Yourselves and your home planet."
"But you said that we were always welcome on Irk and that we could live out our lives fighting for you and your cause!"
"Lies."
"You said that we could call you 'My Tallest'!"
"Lies. And so you can't."
Gagnex felt tears welling up within his eyes. "But… But…"
"You basterd!" Gagnor gripped his brother's arm as he cried. "You freaking basterd! You lied to me and my brother! You lied to both of us! How could you, you sick ingrates! How can Irkens be so cruel?"
Red shrugged. "That's how our smeets are brought up." He laughed.
Gagnor took hold of the device and pulled it off his brother's arm. Then he threw it to the ground and smashed it under his hulking foot. "They will pay… Come on… You've still got it right?"
Gagnex whipped away his tears. "Ya… Ya, I've still got it."
"Then let's use it!"

Red and Purple watched with dismay as Zim piloted their newest form of destruction right through the city. When they turned on the radio he did not hear them and instead merely continued in his maniacal laugher as he commanded the workers to pilot the robot. Red turned to Purple and sighed. "He has that personality that you HAVE to obey."
Purple nodded. "Yep…"
An Irken ship flew overheads and fired at the building they were in. It shook and the two were knocked to the ground. "What now?"
The ship stopped in front of the window and then blasted a hole directly through it. Two shadowed figures emerged from the ship and smiled with delight. Red and Purple rose to their feet and gasped at who they saw.
"If you don't know this by now then you need to be shot."
"I know, I know. It's the twins. Gagnor and Gagnex. I'm not a stupid little human. In case you haven't noticed I'm smarter then all the rest."
Zim leaned in close to Gaz. "That's because his head is so huge."
Gaz snickered, as did Kim.
"My head's not big!" He turned to Tak. "Get on with it."
"All right. All right. Now… Where was I? Oh ya! So, anyways…"
Gagnor pulled out a gun from within the bowels of the ship and aimed it for the Tallest. Gagnex stepped up in front of his brother and smiled. "So, you wished to destroy us as well as our planet did you?"
"Well, we may not have succeeded in destroying you but your planet is gone and the cosmos if finally free of the Bludgeon race."
"Think again chrome-dome." Gagnex pointed to the panel behind them. "Why don't you check and see?"
They did and found to their utter dismay that Bludge was not harmed. The Bludgeons were still walking around and they were still content and full of life.
"How is that possible? The detonator is not capable of turning off once it's on!"
"Oh ya. We forgot to mention during the transmission. When we called you neither of us had actually pressed the trigger button. The only reason we called you was to make sure that there were no more little tidbits that we could have forgotten. So technically, the bomb was never set." Gagnor reached behind his back as his brother spoke and then handed it to him. "This," he said indicating the device in his clawed hand, "is said bomb." He reached his arm back and prepared to throw it at the Tallest.
"Stop right there!"
They turned to the door to see an Irken girl with long purple eyes. She had a strand of metal on the side of her head and wore a usual Irken battle uniform except for the fact that it was a deep purple. In her hands she held two coils of metal that stretched to her back. Four canons came up from behind her. Two revealed from underneath her arms and the others came up above her head. She stood proud and… short, her fingers ready to press the red fire buttons.
"Tak," said Gagnor with a pleased smile. "So nice to see you again. But shouldn't you be out invading a planet of some sort?"
"Unfortunately no. The one driving that machine outside ruined my chance by sealing me in the training chamber. I just came up to ask the Tallest, one last time, not to send me to the cleaning planet when you two came to my mind. I decided that I had best move into action."
"One last time? You mean they refused you a few times? How could they do that to such a lovely face?"
Red and Purple backed away slowly until Gagnor raised his gun to them again. He spoke to Tak some more. "We were just about to destroy them. Would you care to join us? It would be good payback, don't you think?"
Tak shook her head. "I refuse to destroy my own leaders."
Gagnor frowned. "Come on Tak. You know…" He raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes a bit. "I have always liked you…"
"Stop staring at my Kisko and get ready to fight."
"I'd rather not fight you Tak. I would rather sweep you off your feet but… What must be done must be done." He aimed the gun at her as Gagnex readied the bomb for the Tallest.
There was a thundering crash and the twins were sent sprawling through the air. They fell out of the ship and landed on the ground hard on their chins. The twins looked at each other in pain for a moment and then looked up. There was an echoing scream before it was muffled out and greeted by the sound of the two being shmushed and flattened by the hulking, metal foot of the robot Zim was driving.
Red and Purple smiled. Purple looked at Tak who stood at attention. "You're still going to where you were assigned."
"But I…"
"Did nothing."
Tak swore as she was dragged out of the building and into a ship by two, hulking Irken guards.
"And that's what happened"
"So wait. If it was you and Zim that stopped the twins from killing Red and Purple then why were the both of you still punished?"
Tak shrugged.
Kim spoke up for once. "If you ask me the Tallest are pretty dumb."
"What did you say?"
Eventually the fight between the two was broken up by Gaz. Zim and Dib had done nothing after the alien boy yelled, 'alien-human-cat-fight!"
