I DON'T OWN INVADER ZIM OKAY? ONLY MYRA IS MINE!
Myra stared at what she had done. Red may have been a monster but she still had murdered him. " He murdered my mother." She said to herself. It still doesn't make it right. Red's death won't bring Mom back. Myra thought as she dropped the sword covered in Red's blood with a loud clang. She turned to see all of Irk bowing to her.
"What...what's going on?" Myra asked.
"ALL HAIL TALLEST MYRA!" Captain Devnny said.
"Tallest Myra..." Myra whispered as Dib and Purple ran to the rally.
"TALLEST MYRA?!" Purple asked astonished. He looked upon Myra in her Tallest attire drenched in blood. "The only way that could happen is if..."
"I killed Red." Myra said looking into Purple's eyes. Myra picked up Miyuki's sword and gave it to Purple. "Here. This should be yours. You should be the rightful Tallest. I mean you are taller than me." Myra laughed giving Purple the sword, winking her red bug eye with the set of lashes in the corner.
"You keep it. You are the rightful Tallest after Red." Purple said giving back the sword. "This was my mother's."
"WHAT?!" Dib yelled as he turned around from staring at the audience and the stage. It was as if he was in a history book during the dictator rallies he was taught about.
"I never told anyone this but Miyuki's DNA was used in creating me and Spork's was used in Red. The other set of our DNA came from Irken generals. Miyuki aka Mom taught me about peace and equality while Spork taught Red about greed and corruption. Mom must be spinning in her grave at what her empire has become. Mom knew that if Red and I were Tallest at the same time, it would end horribly. Well here's the proof." Purple said.
"We're so alike. Our mothers dead and fathers not there, gone..." Myra said blinking back tears in her eyes taking Purple's claws in hers.
"What about me? My mom's dead! My dad's not there!" Dib yelled sick of being ignored.
"Actually... you're an orphan now. Red had your father killed. The last thing I wanted to do was drop a bomb shell like that on you." Myra cried hugging Dib. "I appreciate all you have done." She looked at Purple and noticed all his injuries. "Saknade, Tsuura, I want you to treat Purple. He's badly injured."
"Yes my Tallest." Saknade and Tsuura, two of the royal healers said.
"Being Tallest might not be so bad after all." Myra laughed.
"I think you should address your subjects." Dib said overlooking the crowd.
"Uhh. Hello people of Irk. You must be very shocked; I mean a few minutes ago I killed Red. I promise to treat you like individuals and not as soulless machines. I accept the title of Tallest if you will accept me as your Tallest." Myra said. I certainly didn't inherit my father's speech making abilities. The crowd cheered and she accepted the title. " Fine. As my first act as Tallest, I name ex-Tallest Purple as my co-Tallest." The crowd cheered again. "And as Head of Interplanetary Relations, I name my good friend Dib Membrane."
"What?!" Dib asked.
"You heard me right Dib. You are my Head of Interplanetary Relations. I feel the positions I put you in are the best for your abilities." Myra said laying her claws on Dib's shoulders.
"All hail Tallest Myra!" Purple yelled wincing.
"You guys think I can do it?" Myra asked.
"Myra sweetheart you have got to listen to me- you are the best girl for the job." Purple said brushing some of Myra's hair out of her face. " You have everything Miyuki could have wanted in a successor. You'll improve this Empire I know it." Purple said wincing as Saknade and Tsuura started to tend to his wounds.
" Pur go with them. That's an order from your Tallest. They'll take good care of you." Myra said.
"Okay." Purple said following the two medics to the hospital nearby in Tallest Tower.
" I love you and Pur Dib. You guys risked it all for me, knowing you could get killed." Myra said looking at a far off star known to us as the Sun where Earth orbited around it. "You know I could never go back."
"To where?" Dib asked staring where Myra was.
"Earth. Too many memories. In just a few days I went from a nobody to a murdering Empress! I'm no longer human! I'm Irken!" Myra said as she stood on the balcony looking as the other Irkens went back to their jobs for the Empire. "I'm going to make this a better place."
"I know you will my Tallest." Dib said hugging Myra. " I'm going to check on Pur. Want to come?"
"Call me Myra." She said as she followed Dib. "I'm coming to check on him too!"
Once they found Purple they sat beside him in an awkward silence. "Pur as one of my first major acts as Tallest, I'm going to call off Operation Impending Doom II" Myra said.
"Spoke like a rational Tallest." Purple said in pain getting up. "Miyuki would be proud."
"You okay?" Dib asked.
"Fine. Need a few days to rest up according to Tsuura." Purple reassured Dib.
"I have a feeling we'll be just fine!" Myra said hugging Dib and Purple.
