Invader Zim- The End?

Chapter 13

The park was quiet and tranquil.

Zim sat on a bench underneath a tall maple tree. Kim was on the grass next to Dib and showing him the varying weapons that she would give him access to if they were forced into battle. He would have to learn an awful lot in a short while but she was convinced that he would be able to do it. Gaz had left a little while ago but she had not said what it was she was going to do. Her Game Slave 2 had made a bleeping sound and a message had flashed on the screen for a second so that no one but her could see what it said. Her eyes had widened and she had taken what money Dib and Zim had. Then she had left and had not returned since then. That had been an hour ago. Gir was sitting on top of Kim's head. She didn't seem to mind and instead merely allowed the robot to stay up there. The one thing she would not tolerate, however, was if he were to eat something. If he wanted to then she would make him get off and eat it on the grass. When he was done he was allowed to hop back on but only when he had made sure that he was clean of any crumbs.

The Irken of the group sighed and looked up at the sky. He did not look at the sun, however, for he remembered what had happened the last time he had done so and he did not feel like growing the skin back on his eyes yet again. Zim looked up at the clouds and examined the many shapes that could be seen. He had always wondered about that but he had never been able to find out how humans had their clouds form into such strange contours.

He took this as a perfect time to find out.

"How do you get them to do that?"

Dib and Kim turned to the Irken. He was looking at them with an inquisitive look on his face. His antennas were sticking up with questioning. Kim raised an eyebrow and Dib scratched his head. "How do we get what to do what?"

"That." Zim pointed to a cloud in the sky. "How do you get your clouds to do that?"

Dib and Kim followed his gaze and looked into the sky. Kim smiled. Dib said: "Well which one are you looking at?"

"That one."

"I mean what does it look like."

"Umm… It sort of resembles… those fluttering things that you have on this planet."

"Fluttering things?"

"You know. They have strange colored wings and there are many differing kinds of them. They come in orange and white the most around here and they… they… have something to do with butter…"

Kim spoke up. "You mean butterflies?"

"I guess so. It resembles a butterfly."

Kim and Dib looked into the sky. They saw the cloud that he was talking about. It did indeed look like a butterfly. Its wings were stretched out and it was moving along with the wind not too far ahead of a cloud that looked like a dragon. The dragon cloud sped up with a gust of wind and slit as it crossed over the butterfly cloud. The one that had resembled the beautiful insect was swallowed up and soon became a part of the dragon cloud.

"So?" Zim inquired. "How do you make them do that?"

"We don't."

"Heh?"

"Ya," Kim stated. "They do that on their own and then its imagination that makes them take a shape."

"You lie!"

"Why does that come as such a surprise to you?"

"Irkens don't have imagination."

"Then how do you come up with such amazing trinkets and such?"

"Technological genius."

"That can be considered imagination."

"Hmm…" Zim thought what they had said over as the two teenage humans went back to discussing the many powering portions of a Vorken power blaster, which happened to be Kim's favorite weapon.

A shadow crossed over Zim as he considered the prospect of Irkens, indeed, having an 'imagination' as Kim called it. He looked behind him, thinking that the clouds had blotted out the sun. Zim came face-to-face with Gaz. The sudden shock of seeing her surprised him and he was sent backwards. Zim fell on the grass and rubbed his cranium with abhor. He looked up at the smirking girl as she seated herself down. The three of them noticed that she had a plastic bag in her hand. Gir paid no attention to her though.

Gaz took the bag and placed it across her lap as she sat down on the bench. Then she pulled out a bright red box with the number three on it. She cut the tape that closed the top with her fingernails and ripped the peak of the package open. As she reached inside her smiled broadened and her eyes became more than just their usual narrow slits.

What she pulled out was a burgundy device. It was rectangular in shape and looked as though it was able to open up into another section. There was a small space on the right side that would have fitted the plug for a pair of headphones. There was a pair of joysticks on the lower half when she opened it up and four buttons of colors purple, red, black and white. The screen was black up until it flashed on when she pressed a black button in the bottom. The first half, which was facing Zim, Kim, Dib and Gir, had three figures on it. 'GS3'.

Dib fell backwards. "That's what you went to get? A GS3?"

Gaz nodded, too wrapped up in the game that she had just started to bother answering with a statement.

They remained as they were for quite some time. Zim sat on the bench next to Gaz with his eyes starring up at the clouds. He was constantly worried about the fact that someone in the park other than the people around him would see him. Tak had told him not to bring a disguise and so he had obliged but he had not liked it one bit. Although the wind waving against his antennas mixed with the warmth of the sun felt very good. Kim stayed on the ground with Dib, Gir still sitting on her head. She had moved on to telling Dib the many devices in her arsenal that would provide a significant amount of protection for him. Dib was listening intently and hanging on her every word. He was determined to learn it all and not miss a single bit.

After a while Zim spoke up. "Hey…" Everyone looked up at him, save for Gaz. "What does that cloud look like to you?"

They each looked up at the cloud. It was growing steadily. Dib rubbed his chin. Kim scratched her head. Gir focused his mind as best as he could but soon lost interest in the cloud.

Gaz paused her game, which was a surprise in itself, and looked up at the cloud. She frowned. "You all really are stupid. It's a ship…"

They each looked back.

The mass was indeed a ship but it didn't look too much like one. It looked like I had been beaten up. Only once the accumulation of metal broke through the clouds and started to head towards them did they realize that she was being serious about it being a ship.

Kim rose to her feet and Gir nearly fell off. Dib came up after her. Gaz tucked her game back into the package and stood up next to Zim.

They each looked up at the sky in wonder. They knew that Tak would be coming down soon but they had no idea that she would come down like that. She was in plain site of the entire city. Did she not care if the Earth found out that the Irken Empire existed? Tak was acting reckless in her driving as well. The ship looked like it was out of control. No… It was out of control!

Kim backed up a step. She looked at the ship in fret. "Run…"

Dib looked at her. "What?"

"RUN!"

Kim gripped Dib's arm and pulled him along with her. Gir fell off and she pulled him back with her other arm. The girl held the robot close as she ran. Zim followed her, as did Gaz. Zim looked back at the mass of metal coming down on them. It was coming fast and he knew that they would not be able to escape. Out of reaction, Zim activated his spider legs. They lifted him into the air and, as he went, he gripped Gaz around the waist and held her up so that she would be able to get away as well. Kim pressed the buttons on her belt as she ran and held Dib's arm as tightly as she could. Her jetpack repelled out from underneath her jacket and the three of them, Kim, Dib and Gir, were lifted into the air with the force of the first blast.

Zim bounded off of a tree close by. Gaz flung on of her arms around his neck and held on tightly while her other hand made certain that she didn't drop her newly acquired Game Slave 3. The Irken pushed forward with the four extra legs and pressed on behind the two humans and his automaton. He was tempted to seize hold on the end of the jetpack so that they would be able to move away more rapidly but he was aware that the force of him grabbing onto it would have the pack lose its strength. It would crash into the ground and then nothing would do to help them. Although he did much mind the idea of Dib being trodden by the oncoming ship.

The people in the park that were not part of their group caught site of the ship as it came towards them. They screamed and ran for their lives. Kim, feeling sorry for how slow they were, activated the gravitational pull on her jetpack and then hurled it at a truck that was parked at the end of the sidewalk. In the process she hurled what activators she had at the people. They locked onto their bodies and the people stopped with confusion. Then they were pulled towards the gravitational activation device quickly and hit the truck with resounding thuds. However, no matter how much their head ached, they were glad that they had not been killed by the oncoming accumulation of foreign metal.

Zim clutched Gaz close to him as a falling branch from the near by oak tree swept past them. It crashed to the ground and Zim nearly lost his balance. But he was able to avoid crashing to the ground with the branch. What he failed to realize, however, was that he had forgotten to release his tight grip around Gaz.

"Zim, if you want to keep all your limbs than you will stop squeezing the life out of me. Otherwise, I will plunge you into a nightmare world from which there is no wake."

Zim released his grip just enough for Gaz to be satisfied. Yet he held her tightly enough so that she did not fall to the ground.

The group of people narrowly evaded piece after piece of falling debris. Kim's Jetpack could not go any higher than it was already going for Gir added a lot most weight. Even though he was small he was still made of metal. The little robot, as we revert our attention to him, was having the time of his life. Each time a metal of metal from the collaboration crashed down closet to them or was narrowly evaded he would cheer for joy and point at it with a huge grin set upon his face. Kim was holding him close to where his legs met the rest of his body. Since his arms were free he had decided to use them as much as he could. He waved them in the air and pointed at various objects. Gir pointed to the people that were stuck to the truck and smiled up at Kim, who didn't really take much notice to him. "They're gonna gets run over!" That ridiculous yet, somehow, cute smile appeared on his face again and Kim, as hard as she tried to ignore him, couldn't help but smile.

"Look out!"

Kim looked down at Dib for the split second that she had left to be in the air. He was looking up at the sky close to them. Before she could follow his gaze she was struck in the back with an outsized section of metal. The force crushed the jetpack and Kim felt that she was losing altitude. Her head throbbed and, when she looked into her arms, she realized that she had dropped Gir.

---

The little robot fell into a tree and smashed against a branch.

He stuck his tongue out in distress and then let his eyes flash off for a moment.

When no one came to him when he was in need he lit his eye up and looked around again. There was no one there. He was along in a tree close to where the accumulation of metal was coming down.

"Hello…? I'm gonna be a space monkey!" Gir took out the rubber pig from inside his head compartment and squeezed it with delight. He remained totally oblivious to the impending doom up until he was crushed with a large section of the metal.

---

"Zim!" Kim called down to the alien. They were slowly getting closer and so he was able to hear her once more. The Irken looked up at her. He had only just noticed that they were slowly coming back down. He didn't say anything but she was aware that she had caught his attention. "I lost Gir! He fell back into the park!"

The Irken boy looked back at the ruble as more toppled onto it. The metal mass was almost down upon them. If Gir had fallen into the line of falling metal then Zim could do nothing for him at such a critical time. He would have to get the little robot once the area was safe and he was able to locate him.

They hurried ahead faster as the metal came down towards them. It loomed ominously over the park and Zim had much trouble avoiding the debris now. Kim did as well. Her pack had been able to keep her high enough in the air so that she was able to maneuver through the wreckage quickly but not efficiently. Every once and a while a chunk of metal would come down and strike her pack.

There was a loud creaking sound behind them. Dib and Kim turned their heads to see a large wave of metal pouring down towards them. Kim pushed the pack to go on further but she was depleting her energy to quickly. She panicked and she found that she was no longer able to keep proper control.

"Kim! Watch where you're going!"

Neither of them had the time that they needed to expect what was to happen next.

A large chunk of metal knocked onto Kimberly and her jetpack was sent sprawling off of her back and onto the ground. Kim and Dib fell. Another piece of metal came down close to their heads and Kim was knocked unconscious. Dib clutched her close to him and then touched the back of his head. He was bleeding pretty badly and the ground was coming up fast. He pulled her so that his back was facing the ground and so that Kim was on top of him. Then they struck the ground. Dib let out a scream of pain as the hard land came into contact with his back. He clenched his teeth tight and then pulled Kim down towards him again. Dib tried to stand but it was no use. He had hurt his back too much and he now had a headache from loosing all that blood.

Zim crossed over them like nothing had happened at all. He smiled as he did so.

"Zim," said Gaz, "go back and get my brother."

"We don't have the time to do that. They'll be fine." But hopefully not.

"I said…" Gaz reached up and gripped Zim's right antenna. She pulled on it hard and yanked it down so that it was just below her neck. Zim let out a cry of pain and growled at her. "Go back and get my brother!"

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Fine! Ow! Just let go! Ow!"

Gaz released his antenna and smirked.

Zim spun around completely and glared at the two humans on the ground. The mass had struck the earth now and it was rolling onto them. Zim snarled in distaste. "Oh! You stinking humans!" His spider legs went forwards as much as they could. He was now using their strength to support him and Gaz. Because the legs were so stretched out he and Gaz would have been able to touch the ground now if they had wished to.

He rushed forward. At how close to the ground he was it was a surprise that his legs were able to support him seeing as they were behind him most of the time. Then he had tow reach forward and he sprung on them so that he was right on top of Dib and Kim.

Dib looked up at him in shock. "You… You're…?"

"Do you want to die, Dib?" Gaz had reached down and gripped him by the arm. Zim took a hold of Kim and lifted her up.

Then he ran.

They hurried out of the throng of falling metal and attempted to make it to the street before it all over came them. Rushing out from under one piece to being under yet another one. It was complete madness. Zim narrowly evaded a blow to his own head and he still had to avoid having the humans being struck as well. If he were to be struck he would have to make sure that he threw them far enough to reach the street and he didn't think that that was possible.

"Zim!" Dib yelled. "Watch out!"

The Irken didn't even look back. All he did was spring his spider legs out and launch himself forwards. Gaz held onto Dib tightly and Dib held onto Kim's hand just in case Zim found it pleasing to drop her.

Zim's effort, however, was to no avail. Although they did make it too the street it wasn't exactly how Zim wanted it to happen. A large chunk of the mass came down and crushed his spider legs in the middle of the jump. The four were sent flying forwards. What was left of his spider legs were crushed under the metal as they rushed out of the throng.

Kim landed next to Dib. The shock brought her back into a conscious state. She sat up straight and stared at the mass, which had now kicked up dust. She blinked a few times and then looked into the wreckage of the ship. As she peered down she noticed Dib bleeding head. "Dib!" She looked into the pool of blood that was gathering. "Someone get me a cloth! And some rubbing alcohol!" It was lucky for her that there was a pharmaceutical store near by. A man in a white top and green pants ran inside, picked up what she had asked for and handed them to her. Quickly as she could Kim covered the wound with the rubbing alcohol. Dib clenched his teeth with irritation and then waited patiently as she bound his head up with the bandages.

When Zim landed he bounded off of the ground once and then just lay there with a headache. When he sat up he opened his eyes. Gaz was sitting next to him rubbing her own head. She had a cut, which leaked her crimson blood, located just above her left eyebrow. She looked at the blood for a moment after collecting it on her finger and then turned back to the landed ship. In the confusion of the people around them a man knocked Gaz to the left. She toppled onto Zim and shook her fist at him. Zim stuck out his snake-like tongue and only then noticed that Gaz was lying on top of him. She pushed off of the ground and sat back in her own position. The next person that even came close to knocking her over again ended up having his legs buckling for some 'unknown' reason.

People moved towards the crashed ship with interest. They didn't even think of it as being dangerous at all. They just thought that it looked neat.

Zim stood up and crossed to the ship's hull. He looked it over a few times and wriggled his antennas in abhor as he had noticed that people were starring at him.

"Look! An alien!"

"Yes, yes. I'm an alien. How fascinating…" He turned around to face the tanned man. "Shut up!"

There was a creaking sound behind him. Zim went stiff. He turned his head just enough so that he was able to see the hatch of the ship opening right behind him. The Irken dove out of the way and then walked next to Dib, Kim and Gaz who stood in front of the crowd. People had stopped taking an interest in Zim and were now more interested in what was to come out of the ship. Kim poised her fingers atop the activator to her hidden arsenal. Dib could not do too much in his state and so stood behind Kim. If he had to he would borrow her Vorken power blaster. Gaz pushed her foot out hard into the dirt and raised her arms as though she was going to be in a fistfight. But she was much more prepared. Zim stood next to her. He was no longer able to use his spider legs but he was still capable of fighting. He stood in the proud pose of an invader and clenched his fists so that they were ready to come into contact with a face.

The hatch opened fully and Tak emerged. She was not wearing her human disguise and so people noticed that she looked exactly like Zim, save for the fact that she had eyes like an amethyst crystal, her antenna were curled and she was a girl.

"Look! Another alien!"

Gaz spun around and punched the man in the stomach. He fell to the ground and coughed a few times. She smirked and turned back to the ship.

"Actually, I'm Irken…" Tak raised her hands into the air. "People of the Earth…"

Dib raised a brow.

"I bring you the great honor…"

Kim lowered her fingers.

"Of seeing with your very eyes…"

Gaz let her arms fall to the side.

"The rulers of the Irken Empire…"

Zim's eyes widened.

"The almighty Tallest!"

Red and Purple emerged from the darkness of the ship. They were each dressed in something other than their own attire. Battle suits covered their thin bodies. They were similar to Zim's but they held more weapon options, which only made sense.

They are not dead! Zim sank to his knees in the shock and happiness that overwhelmed him.

---

Brooke: Ok! Red and Purple are back! Whoo!

Zim: And people thought that they were dead… Of course not! They are the almighty Tallest! Fear them with every fiber of your being!

Brooke: R&R if you wanna peoples. No pressure.
