Invader Zim- The End?

Chapter 20

"I can't believe this! I'm going to kill him!"

"Now, Dib, calm down." Membrane inched forwards, trying to clam his son.

"Calm? How the hell can I be calm? My sister's gone! Zim's gone! Doesn't that tell you something? That no good, piece of alien scum! If I ever get my hands on him I'm going to rip out his squeedly spooch and make him eat it! I'll grind his antennae into tiny pieces and then I'll cast them into the ocean with him bringing up the rear!"

"Knock it off." Tak smacked Dib's head hard. He fell forwards and crashed into the back of the couch. The boy sat up slowly and rubbed the back of his head where she had hit him. It was very sore. Tak just stood there above him with her fist still up close to her chin. She glared down at him. "You have to get a grip Dib. You're acting like an immature smeet who doesn't know his place. There's nothing left for you to do now Dib. If they're gone then they're gone. My ship's still down at the park and unless you have another one lying around someplace then we have no way to find them." Tak leaned down and glared down at him. She practically pierced through his soul and it was unnerving for him to just look at the Irken female. "Do you have another ship, Dib?"

He felt his head sink down. He could still feel her eyes on him. Dib wanted to look her again but, for some reason that remained unknown to him, he wasn't able to. It wasn't that he was scared of Tak or anything. He just couldn't bring himself to actually look at her face. She just stared at him with her blank expression and her hard, amethyst eyes.

"Do you," she repeated, "have a ship, Dib?"

He shook his head lightly, still not looking at her.

"I do."

Everyone in the room, Irken and human glanced over to the shadows of the corner. There was one person standing there. Kim stepped out and smiled at them, her hands behind her back. She looked so innocent and yet everyone was aware of the arsenal that she had equipped to her belt. She smiled at them so wide that Dib wondered why it didn't crack her face off.

"You what?" came Tak's voice.

"I said that I have a ship. You can use it if you want to." Kim reached into her belt and pulled out something that jangled in her hands. She let it hang from her forefinger and then let the others look at it with awe. It was a set of keys to the ship that she had. They hung there as she smiled at all of her 'friends'. "Of course… It can only hold a maximum of three people…"

"Wake up."

Zim felt a poke to the side of his head. It would have been much easier to ignore if it hadn't continued several times after the first one. But, sadly, much to his discontent, the prodding of his cranium continued relentlessly and the Irken bit back from killing the person who owned the poking finger.

The time in the Voot Runner had passed by slowly. He had tried to keep himself occupied for a while but it proved more difficult than he had first thought. Up until now he had taken the hobby of fantasizing about the destruction of the human race. He went through plans and whatnot like how he was going to go about his next pan. Although most of his interest in his older pans had sunk far below the surface of his caring he continued for some reason. Seeing the Tallest alive again had sparked the dwindling fire that he been inside of him. Now he was becoming more and more interested in destruction again… Especially the destruction of the human race and one particular human-stink.

The finger came to him again and the Irken felt that fire spark once more. This time with what he did not know. Zim figured it to be anger. Although it was a very strange and… different… anger?

"I said wake up."

"I wasn't asleep."

Gaz frowned and pulled her GS3 up from the dashboard. "Where here," she said as she tucked it into a small compartment.

Zim eyed her. "How can we be here? We've only been gone a couple of hours. There's no way that we could have made it all the way to the Oalvix star system in such a small amount of time."

"I never said that we made it all the way to the star system… I did say that we were here." Gaz pointed out of the window in front of them.

Zim turned his head, following the path that the human's finger created. His eyes looked past his robot, which was still seated on the dashboard of the ship, and gazed out into the vast blank of space. What he saw made his jaw drop completely. Gaz eyed it, reached two fingers out, and closed it slowly.

The three of them looked at the small planet that was before them. It was blue with no signs of any fluid on the surface. The entire atmosphere was coated in dull green or blue so dark that it was almost black. Unlike most of the planets that Zim had seen the entire gravitational field of the place was void of any technology. Not even one of those primitive satellites that he had noticed around the Earth was there. Bludge had no moons and was far away from any sun. There were, however, two suns on either side of it. Bludge was known for not having any rotational patterns. The planet never spun and it never took to encircling a sun like so many do. It was a bare, dessert planet that had bitter, harsh winters on portions of the planet and hot, dry summers on others. If one part in Bludge were hot then it wouldn't ever be anything else. The problem with Bludge, however, was the fact that it was in grave danger.

"Pathetic…"

"What?"

"The Bludgeons are completely unaware of their impending doom."

"How so? The Armada's going to kill them off?"

"No." Zim sighed. He turned to the computer and said: "Bring up the Bludgeon home world holo vid." The computer whirred and brought up a video of the planet before them and the two suns, that were supposed to be, close by. Zim pointed to one of the suns and then the planet itself. "You see. Bludge doesn't have a rotation pattern. Meaning that it doesn't rotate around a sun. Now, this sun here," he pointed to the one of the right, "is very, very, very old. Once that sun explodes…"

"It will take Bludge with it."

"Do not interrupt Zim! And no. Once that sun is gone the gravitational pull of the other sun will come onto Bludge. You see, because the suns are so close together their gravitational pulls collide. Bludge in directly in the center. If one sun were to go out…"

"Bludge would be tossed so hard into the other that it would crash into the sun…"

"Bludge would be tossed so hard into the other that it would crash into the sun… hey… wait!"

"One problem," Gaz stated as she pointed out of the window again. "The two suns that are supposed to keep Bludge in check aren't here. Look…"

Zim looked back into space.

It was true. The two suns that were supposed to keep Bludge in place were gone. There was no sun to the right and there was no sun to the left. Bludge didn't have any suns around it at all. They were both gone. As Zim looked closer he realized that, even though they were at the planet that they had needed to go to, they were not in the Oalvix star system. The planets around them were of an entirely different system that was to be much closer to the Earth. "The planet," he said, not taking his eyes off of it, "has moved from where it's supposed to be. It's traveling through the stars like a ship…" His mind was brought back to his little battle with Dib four years in the past. He had piloted Mars while the Dib had piloted Mercury.

Gaz reached across him. "We're landing."

"Don't touch my ship!"

"Let go of my hand!"

"Don't touch that!"

"You're going to hit the…!"

Beep

Beep

Gaz glared at him. "Nice work…"

Zim didn't answer. All he could do was hurriedly press random actions in his Voot Runner to try and make it stopped as they crashed to the surface of the planet.

"That's your ship?"

"Yep."

"I thought that you said that it could only hold three people!"

"Well… it can only hold three people… in the cockpit."

"So you lied to My Tallest?"

"Looks that way."

"You lied to my dad?"

"Him especially."

"You lied to me."

"And me."

"Ah! But I'm telling you the truth right now. That has to count for something."

Tak and Dib exchanged glances. They nodded lightly and sort of shrugged a little bit as well. Then they turned back to the garage and gaped at the ship that Kim had kept a secret. Well, Dib gaped. Tak was shocked, I admit, but not so much as to gape. That was a Dib thing to do.

The ship that was set in the garage, hooked up to varying wires that stretched from with its programs, was a ship larger than what they had anticipated. It was huge in fact, the two were amazed that Kim had even been able to make it fit in the small space. It was sort of oval shaped with black thrusters on either side of it. The ship had several small windows lined along the sides of the ship and there were an assortment of useful landing tools positioned at the back. The whole of the ship was paint red but there were small black flames that stretched along the sides towards the thrusters.

Kim walked over to her ship and tapped the hull twice. A clinking sound could be heard from the inside of the ship. A capsule ejected from the side of the ship and stretched out to meet her. Dib and Tak watched as Kim pressed a code on a platform that rose up after that. She pressed one blue button afterwards and waited as the keypad sank back in and the opening of the capsule turned around from inside to greet them. Kim stepped to the side and motioned for the Irken and human boy to step inside first. They looked a little bit hesitant, even Tak. "Guests are always first," she said as she motioned again.

Tak stepped inside first, followed by Dib, followed by Kim. The alien hunter closed the door securely and locked it tight. The room that they occupied was bare and black. It was near impossible for them to see anything. At least it was for Dib. Tak had superior eyesight common with all Irkens whereas Kim had her goggles, which rotated around from behind her ear. To do this she had a chip that went through a small hole to the back of her brain. This allowed her to control the goggle device at will without touching it. (A very useful item when captured.)

Dib stumbled and knocked into a bunch of canisters. He fell over and landed hard on his chin. Growling at the darkness in the room for no reason at all he stood up and brushed off his coat, even though he couldn't see if it was dirty. Dib straightened his glasses and tried to navigate this way through the black, seeing as neither Tak nor Kim were coming to his aid as of yet. He stumbled once more and, this time, crashed into one of the two girls. He heard her growl yet he couldn't really tell who it was. He did, however, feel her grab his hand and pull him along, making sure that he avoided everything that was to come in front of them.

As they wondered through the dark hallways of the ship Dib felt a smile spread across his pale face. She was pulling on his hand and squeezing it pretty hard but her grip was comforting and gentle at the very same time. His mind fell to his little fiasco a while back. That kiss…

Kim…

A door in front of his eyes made him blink once or twice with the new light that swept over his body. The brightness coated the room and caused him to see a few black spots. Dib shook his head and then looked at his left hand to see Kim's smooth hand and perfect nails.

Kim was on the opposite side of the room. Her fingers pattered against buttons on a keyboard and tittered with speed. She glanced over and tapped on a screen and then glanced over to a few regulation data ports. He could see Kim's feet moving rapidly as she traveled from one side of the cockpit to the other and back again.

Dib felt all the blood drain from his face.

He looked down at his hand to see a set of three gloved finger wrapped around his own. They were slender like a girl's and when he looked up he found, not to his surprise, that they did belong to one. Tak's fingers were securely gripped around his and, even in the light of the cockpit, they did not release from said grip. The boy looked at her face. Tak seemed to be oblivious to the fact that her hand had taken a liking to Dib's. She was looking at a few monitors opposite him and was glancing over the main structure and operating system of the ship.

When she turned to him Tak noticed the loss of blood in his countenance. She rose and invisible eyebrow to this. "Are you all right?"

Dib felt lost for words. He continuously looked down at their interlocking hands. He continuously gave her a signal to look down. Dib didn't really want to say anything. He couldn't. All he could do was direct her with his eyes.

Tak looked down at their hands. She didn't even flinch as she saw her fingers entwined around his. The Irken female merely looked back at him and frowned. Dib expected the worst to happen. He expected to go on the rest of his life, void of any left arm. And that was if he was lucky and if Tak was in a good mood. So far he hadn't been all too lucky and Tak hadn't seemed all to pleased with the situation. Dib closed his right eye and waited for the first blow. The Irken holding his hand then said: "Grow up."

Tak leaned forwards and planted the last thing that he would have expected on his lips.

A kiss.

Brooke: I'm sure that this is what you all want to see but no. This is not how it happened. I only inserted this to get to you DATR fans. Gawd I'm evil. No? Anyways, here's what REALLY happened…

---

Dib felt all the blood drain from his face.

When she turned to him Tak noticed the loss of blood in his countenance. She rose and invisible eyebrow to this. "Are you all right?"

Tak's gaze fell upon their two hands. Dib saw her eyes open wide with surprise. He felt the hard yank as she ripped her arm from his and then the sharp blow as her foot was lifted into the air and planted in his gut. Dib cringed with the sudden pain and fell onto his knees, gasping for breath. Tak leaned against the wall and Dib noticed her heavy breathing. Even in his pain he couldn't help but watch as Tak's chest moved in and out with each gulp of air.

He watched the Irken fall onto the metallic platform of the ship and sigh deeply. She had her eyes closed for a moment to retain her thoughts and, more importantly, her sanity. Dib let out a breath and sat down, his legs up and his arms resting on his knees. He saw Tak open one eye towards him, the amethyst color glaring into his own gold-like color. She frowned at him and then rose to her feet. Dib flinched backwards as her fist came down to his face. He closed his eyes for a moment but then opened one when nothing occurred. Tak's fist had outstretched its fingers to create a helping hand that seemed oh so needed. Dib, thought hesitant, took hold of her hand and was pulled up with such force that he practically jumped. Tak pulled him close so that her mouth was by his left ear and said: "If that happens again you won't live to save the Earth. Got it?"

Dib nodded lightly, gulping, though unintentionally.

Tak broke off and wandered over to a seat in the front. She sat down and began to overlook the main complex of the ship. Dib saw her flip through holographic manuals before turning his attention back to Kim.

She had seated herself in the middle seat, leaving the one on the right open to him. Dib crossed over and seated himself. He jumped up with a sharp poke to his bottom. His stomach made contact with a lever and he gasped with surprise. Dib turned around. "Can't I get a break today?!"

"Kim!"

A tiny, gray creature leapt from where Dib had intended to sit and hopped onto Kim's shoulder. He followed its swift movement and, when it landed, caught a good sight of it. Truly, the thing reminded him of Zim's little helper, Gir. It had a head just like his, maybe smaller; save for the fact that curled, black metal protruded from the top and moved down, close to the neck, as though it were hair. The eyes were more curved towards the tips and instead of a blue rectangle on its belly it had an eyeball-like device that moved around in differing directions. When the mouth was normal there was no stitch-like effect and the blue orbs at the end of each arm, just before the hand, was a diamond. The left eye was see through, showing an orb that moved on tubes, which connected from deeper into the head. A type of green glass covered the other eye.

"It's that…?"

"Gir?" Kim asked. "No. This is I.D.U."

"What does that stand for?"

"Interrogation disassembling unit."

The robot looked over to Dib and then back to Kim. "What's a… 'Gir'?"

"Never mind." Kim prepared the ship. "Idu, can you please go back and check the status of the ship. Make sure that we won't fall apart in space. Keep this thing regular."

"Got it!" Idu hopped off of Kim's shoulder and hurried out the doorway. As Dib watched her ran down the hall he saw the lights turn on to her presence. She hurried down a shaft and, soon, disappeared from sight.

Kim focused herself on the controls. She turned to Dib a moment. "Fasten your seatbelt, Dib. I'm not sure how safe this thing is…"

"When you say you don't know how safe it is," Tak stated as she did up her belt, "what exactly do you mean?"

"Well… this thing was in pretty bad shape when I found it." Kim saw their stares. "But I did all the repairs and it'll fly fine… I think…"

"You think?"

"Hold on! This thing's fast!"

A burst of light erupted from out of nowhere and engulfed the ship. Dib glanced out the side, as did Tak, to see the wires that had once been attached fall from the ship's side and collide with the ground. The thrusters turned down to the ground and a set of wings ejected from the sides of the ship where the capsules were. It was assumed that the capsules turned on the side and released the wings. The entire ship shook as the speed limit required for take off was reached.

Then the ship burst through the roof of the garage. Pieces of broken metal and wood fell from around them.

A bleeping sound erupted from a device attached to the control panel. It was foreign to the rest of the ship. Kim pressed a red button and a holographic image was displayed on screen as they broke the atmosphere. It was a vision of a shorthaired, blonde woman wearing a white shirt. She looked to be in a kitchen. "Kim, I hope that wasn't the garage breaking I heard."

"Use the repair bots I made you mom! I told you that before!"

"What are you up to now?"

"I'm saving the earth."

"Again?"

"Yes."

Kim's mother grunted but then nodded her head lightly towards her daughter. "All right. Fine. But I want you back within two days. None of this month nonsense. It can't possibly take that long to save on planet. And uh…" She leaned over and glanced at Tak. Then she looked at Dib. "Be sure to introduce me to your new friends… Hmm… Is that one human? He had an awfully large cranium." She pointed to Dib who sank in his seat.

"Good bye, mother." Kim deactivated the device and turned to Dib, smiling. "Parents. Can't ever leave you alone…"

They passed the moon.

Brooke: Whoo! A new little robot to introduce to Gir. LOL. I made her up all on my own when I was little and all I did was alter her form a little bit to make her look more Irken made like Gir. OK, reviews… right! Zim! Who's first?

Zim: Do not command ZIM to read out reviews! Oh, and it's geminidragon76.

Brooke: Alone in the stars… an alien will bash his head up good and a Goth girl will play video games. And yeah, Gir sort of turned into a cupid I guess. I didn't mean to do that but I like how you interpreted it so good for you. Go you!

Jack: Next we've got a new person, buggy500.

Brooke: OK I"LL WRITE MORE! O-o-o-o-o-k-k-k-k-k!! You can read more! Go you for liking my story! You deserve to get a hug! … But not from me… that would be silly…
