Invader Zim- The End?

Chapter 31

"So let me get this straight," said Idu while crossing her arms and legs. "You don't remember a thing about who you are or where you came from?"

Gir shook his head.

"Who your master was?"

"No."

"How you got here?"

"Nope."

"Why you're here?"

"Nada."

"Where you are?"

"Zip."

"Why you're in the state you're in?"

"Zilch." He though for a moment. "However, I do have the sudden urge to dance like a monkey, make waffles, and play tea party with a pig. Whatever those are, I mean. Could I do that?"

"No." Idu frowned and then stood up. "Maybe there's a spot in your head where your memory disk will still fit. You're pretty beat up but I might be able to find a place where your disk will fit properly enough for you to remember."

Gir didn't say a word and, instead, waited quietly as Idu recovered the disk and examined his bent and beat up head. Then dents were large, though neither of them knew what from and they seemed to be all over the place. There wasn't a single spot that the disk could fit into. However, Idu decided that it would be best to take a chance and so she stuffed the disk into a noticeable spot and began to try and push it in far enough to become active. But quite a lot of metal was in her way.

Idu stepped back and thought. She mulled an idea over in her head for a moment and then looked down at Gir, a smile both evil and kind set on her robotic features. "Gir, do you trust me?"

"As much as I can trust a stranger."

"Good enough…"

Idu picked Gir up and threw him against a nearby rock. Gir hit it hard, fell to the ground, went unconscious. His one working eye became dull and colorless. With the new silence in the air Idu walked over to her 'patient', leaned down and began the arduous task of repairing his head.

It would be a long time before she would be able to report back to Kim. In the meantime, she always had some music. As she began to work Idu pulled a small panel out of the top of her head. She pressed an on button, selected the song she wanted and then put the panel back.

The music played quietly in her head. She'd still be able to hear approaching enemies and they wouldn't be able to hear the music.

Time passed slowly…

---

Sitting back and rubbing her metallic forehead, Idu sighed long and deep. She glanced over beside her at the unconscious robot. While looking at him she couldn't help but be proud with the job that she'd done. It was quite good, considering that she had access to no tools and was, basically, relying off of the land surrounding her for the moment.

Gir was pushed up against the side of a rock nearby. His head had most of the dents worked out of it from Idu's banging on the inside and outside of the skull frame. It had taken hours just to bump out the most noticeable and troublesome of the dents, and even then she'd created many more in the process. However, her new dents were definitely not as severe as the ones that the little SIR unit had had prior to the treatment. She fixed his broken eye with a spare bulb she kept for emergencies. For some strange reason she had a feeling that she would regret giving it to him, but did so nonetheless. After all, when would she need it? She only had one normal eye anyways.

As she leaned back on her own rock and stared up at the sky she couldn't help but think that she'd forgotten something important.

The penny dropped and she quickly remembered the report she should have made to Kim.

Checking her inner clock didn't make her feel all the better. When Idu read the time, in Earth hours, she squinted at nothing but the numbers flashing before her odd eye. It read that it was near midnight back on Earth, if celestial positioning was taken away and Bludge was given the same perceptions as Earth. For the meantime she did just that. Since Idu was meant to call around 3 hours ago she couldn't help but sulk. The good mood that she'd been put in from her pride at repairing Zim's pathetic excuse for a robot was quickly replaced with a fear of Kim's angry voice, screaming at her in Japanese about how worried she was about her small companion. Honestly, it made Idu feel good that Kim cared so much about her safety, especially since she wasn't really a living organism like her brother had once been, but she was discouraged when Kim expressed her love in the form of yelling and screaming.

Idu rapped her mind for a good excuse. When nothing came to her she decided that she'd just have to go with the 'fixing Gir' card and see where that got her.

Pulling out her mindset comlink she set up a connection with Kai's server and began to speak into it, attempting to get the robotic teenager's attention. She'd had to do just that on a number of occasions, since, most of the time, Kai was on the Universal equivalent to the Internet and was looking at varying pictures of alien women.

"Attention, Kai. This is Idu, reporting in from the surface of Bludge. Do you read? I need a connection to Kimberly, a.s.a.p."

There wasn't a response. Just static.

Idu blinked twice with her good eye. It was strange for Kai not to respond to his own name. Typically, the boy had a very strong ego. She usually relied on his family to fuel it, seeing as not many people, or aliens for that matter, were aware that he was a living person in the form of a ship. She tapped the link a few more times with her mind, reaching out to the boy. When he didn't answer for 5 minutes she pulled out the Manuel link.

It protruded from her left arm, folding back layers of metal in order to push it up. She tapped the screen a few times. There was just more static, like in the mindset comlink. The little robot frowned. "Kai! If you're there answer me. You know I don't enjoy being ignored!"

When his grinning face did not surface she rolled her eyes and recalled something from last week. Pulling in her pride she sighed.

"Okay, okay. I get the message. I'll say it." Idu paused a moment, biting her metal lip. Then she continued. "Kai, you are the most amazing ship to streak across the cosmos. Your hull is a bright, shiny, beautiful thing and your pushed up features compare to nothing that I have seen before. Truly, you are a pure work of art and there is no possible way for anyone to go against you in terms of looks, brains or anything of the like…"

Nothing.

This worried Idu. She'd repeated the phrase just as he'd requested a week prior but the boy still did not respond. It was troubling. Even after this amount of time, using the Manuel link would set her up with a connection to the main communication server, which was located on the right hand side of the pilot's chair. If Kai hadn't picked up in this amount of time then Kim should have. There was even an answering machine system hooked in so that messages played out and a person could answer.

Kim, unlike Kai, always answered her phone.

Something was definitely wrong.

She tapped the glass a few more times. "Kim? Kim. Are you there? Kimberly?" She became frantic now. "Kimico Kimberly Rashinda! Answer the phone!" Kimico was Kim's real first name, but she only used her middle name when in English speaking zones, like Canada or the US. Idu only ever used it when she was sincerely pissed off or if she was panicking.

It was a good time to panic, because when a face finally appeared on screen it wasn't Kim, Kai, Dib, or even Tak. She didn't know who it was but she had a good feeling of who it might be.

Although the screen was fuzzy she could make out that the imposter had blue skin and dark blue hair with no emotion set to his face. He looked like a robotic prototype from Earth's old ages, unable to express emotion or display any sort of facial reaction.

"Greetings. You are?"

"I am Idu. SIR unit of the captain of the ship you're currently occupying. What have to done with Kim?" Idu was furious.

"I'm afraid that Kim won't be answering you anymore. She's suffered a terrible accident here. The computers crashed and--"

"Impossible!" screamed Idu. The ship's mainframe is derived, no, created from the essence of a living creature. Kai Lee Rashinda. A boy from Earth. Unless the system was tampered with it would not have gone down. The mainframe is able to support itself because Kai does not require sleep. He, therefore, never tires or needs to land due to fuel exhaustion. It's impossible for the system to crash!"

She could see a faint smile stretch across the blue figures face. He, obviously, wasn't so immune to emotion as she'd previously thought. "Is that so? Well then. It appeared you've caught me, miss robot."

"Idu."

"Of course. Miss Idu." His smile dulled. "You see, the crew of the… 'Kai' is now in our possession. If you ever want to see your mistress… what was her name? Kimico Kimberly Rashinda? Then you will bring the Bromix to me in one week, Earth time. Fail and I can't be held responsible is the poor girl, say… falls into a vat of slow-eroding acidic compounds. My own design of course." He beamed with vanity.

Idu was screaming rather loudly now. It was amazing civilians in the nearest town could not hear her. "I swear it! If you god-forsaken, pimple popping, cockroach infested, acid-guzzling, spineless, slug-monkies lay even one claw on Kim I will personally see to it that you die a very harsh, painful death! I will not stop until you cry for mercy! And even then, after you've begged and gravelled, I'll drip a skillet through your gut, get it caught in your abdomen and then jerk it out! I promise it!"

The figure giggled, his grin turning into a malevolent smirk. "Will you now?"

Static filled the screen once more.

Idu's arm dropped and she starred at nothing in particular.

What could she do? She now had to find Zim and Dib's sister, finish the repair on Gir and rescue her mistress, Dib, Kai and Tak. All in one week? It was near impossible. She decided, however, that the best course of action would be to take Gir along with her as is and repair him on the way. If she could find Zim she could get his help in finding everyone else and since Gaz was most likely still with him she knew she'd have one less person to find after locating the Irken 'invader'.

But as she rose, one thing escaped Idu's mouth. "What's a Bromix?"
