Disclaimer: I do not own Invader zim, though I wish I did.

p.s. sequel to Could this day get any worse

Gaz and Dib had woken up about five minutes after the guy in the cloak had left. They were a little shooken up and dizzy, well actually that was how Dib was, Gaz was more on the pissed off side because she hadn't been able to fight some as well.

" It's just not fair". Gaz shouted at Zim. Zim glared down at her.

" Whats not fair? That I didn't let you get killed by a giant snake". Gaz took a step back at this, but then shook it off.

" I could've handeld it Zim, and you know it". She pushed him but he didn't budge. She pushed him again but he still didn't move. She was going to push him again, but before she could Zim wraped his arms around her. She resisted at first but then just put her head against his chest. " I hate you". She grumbeled.

Zim pulled her closer." And I love you".

Dib and I were watching all of this from across the school yard. Dib was shaking his fists at the air and cursing that one day he would get Zim on an operation table or somthing, I wasn't paying all that much attention. I kept on thinking about what the man in the cloak had said.

" Twenty-four hours". I mumbeld under my breath.

" Huh"? Dib asked as he pulled himself away from his ranting.

I shook my head out of these thoughts long enough to answer Dibs question. " Nothing, just thinking about what that guy said".

" You mean that guy in the cloak you told us about"?

I nodded my head. Dib grabbed his lower jaw and started to think, then a light bulb went on above his head and I thought it was idea. Turned out to just be Zim hitting the switch for the outside light.

" Hey". I said as him and Gaz got closer. Gaz looked at me and scoffed, then she turned on her heel and sat on bench. " What's her problem"? I asked while wondering why she was acting like such a bitch. " I thought we all got it that I was part of the group now".

She scoffed again at my words(whats with all the soffing). " I don't consider you part of " the group " as you so bluntly put it". She then steped within an inch of my face. " So don't you dare think youre one of us. We've been doing this kinda stuff for years, were experts".

I took a step back and laughed. " I guess that's why you got knocked out so easily, huh"? Gaz's face started to change a dark crimson, her hair started to stand up and get spiky. I started to move back from her, because I had seen somthing like this happen to my mom when dad told her she was looking a little bulgy. Dad still has to drink through a straw, but before I could see grabbed my collar and pulled pack her hand. " DIE"!!! she said in a very dark voice. She then brought her fist to my face sending me flying through the wall to the other side.

" Ouch". I said as I coughed up some blood(and I think a spleen). The next thing I knew I blacked out.

meanwile(yes first meanwile)

Up in space, a bright red space ship was hovering above earth. The space ship had a black insignia on the bottom hull, which looked like a black heart. Inside the ship there were five people in cloaks talking around a tabble.

" What happend out there Nymphus? You were supposed to take their hearts like we planned". Spoke a very authoritve voice. Nymphus steped forward and removed his hood. He had long black hair with purple highlights. He kept his hair in a combed back postion.

" I was going to take their hearts like you had planned my lord, but I thought it more interesting to let the prepare for the inevitable". Nymphus smiled as he said this. The cloaked figure closest to him slamed his fist on the table leaving a good sized dent.

" Damit, this isn't about what you think". The person removed his hood also as he said this to reveal that he was not human. His skin was entirely orange and coming out of his head were two giant curving horns. " You have been nothing but a pain sense we allowed you to accompany us". All of the other figures removed their hoods as the demon(what we shall call him now) said this.

" That is not what we all think Demitri". Said a woman with that looked to be completely made of water.

" I have to disagree with you Aquatica. Nymphus's actions could of jeopordized the missions plans". Said the one that had questioned Nymphus earlier. She appeared to be nothing but a shadow. " I am afraid that you must be punnished for your actions". The shadow lady raised her finger and a dark shot out like lightning and wrapped itself around Nymphus's neck where it made it's way into his mouth until he had completely devoured it. He mad no resistance as this happened. " There, now leave my presence". She waved them away. They all started to leave except for one who had not took of her hood off. The dark lady looked at her. " What is it Shade". She asked with agitation in her voice.

Shade finnaly removed her hood to reveal her features. She had medium long brown hair that was curly and pulled into a pony tail. She stood about 5'4 and looked about 14. She had a smile on her face as she answered the dark lady. " I was just wondering...". She was smiling and twiddling with a loose strand of hair. "... If I could go and take care of Nympoo's little missup earlier". She grinned a biger smile revealing a row of shiny whites.

The dark lady shook her head. " Yes yes, just leave". She said while waving her off.

Shade jumped when she heard this. " Yay. Thanx". She then skipped off towards the doors but stoped just in front of them. She turned her head back and smiled once more. " They're blood will taste delicious". She then skipped off again whisteling.

" Derek". said the voice of the one I knew.

" What". I replied.

" It's time to wake up".

" No"! I yelled

" You have to wake up Derek, you have to wake up, you..have..to..wake up".

I woke up with a jolt. Sweating all over. I hadn't had that dream in a long time I thought as I sat up. I looked around to notice that I was inside a house and lying on a couch. When all of a sudden I heard a high pitch screech came in. " Tacooooooos".


Authors notes: I finnaly posted ch. 5 and boy was it fun. I like the new villans and I wonder who the one screaming is?
