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

p.s. sequel to If all you had was...

Derek, Shade, and Gaz all cae out of the tube that came from the lab. They stopped and gasped(well more like jaw dropped) at what they saw. The entire upstairs was crashed, broken furniture and there was a burning smell. Gaz looked over and saw that it was the oven. They all heard a sound coming from the living room. Derek was the first to get there, jumping over broken pieces and junk. He saw that the living room was in no better shape than the kitchen. Gaz and Shade came up behind him and saw the destruction. Shade had a worried look on her face that Derek noticed, but pushed it aside when he heard a moan from amongst the rubble. They all looked over to the sound and saw a black stick sticking out of the junk. Zim's antenna.

Gaz raced over and dug the the rubble and pulled Zim out, clutching him. With Derek's help, Shade still looking worried, They dug him out and sat him up.

Zim was bleeding from a deep gash above his forehead. He was bruised and covered with splinters, he looked like he was in a daze.

" Zim, what happened". Gaz said with surprising coolness. " I need to know what happened Zim"! She screeched getting worried.

" I wouldn't expect much out of him, he got pretty messed up". said a voice that sounded so familar. The voice, that the first time he heard it sent tingles down his spine. Derek turned around to see the person that had caused this whole mess, possible the person responsible for him even recieving the Gorgon. He turned around to see Nymphus.

" You". Derek said, still not able to believe what he was seeing.

Nymphus strolled over to about five feet from Derek and stopped, looking him directly in the eye while still smiling. " Ah yes, I remember you. You were the one that I wasn't expecting that day". Nymphus stepped forward and Derek stepped back. " You caused me quite a bit of trouble, and yet I don't even know your name". Nymphus then slapped himself in the head. " Of course, I didn't entroduce myself, my name is Nymphus, and yours"? When Derek didn't answer he just shrugged, then he turned his face towards Shade who had been trembling this whole time. He walked over to her and his face darkened. " Shade, would you mind telling me why you don't have your make up on". Shade cringed at his words. " Well".

Shade looked down at the floor, pretending to be interested in something, and answered. " Well, you see it was raining and I got sick and they helped me and while they were treating me they-". Shade was slapped hard from Nymhus, causing blood to form on her mouth.

Derek saw this and was immediatley pissed. Then he saw Shade began to cry, and right then and there he decided somthing while reaching for the Gorgon. It's time to kick some ass.

" I don't need your excusses, I have told you a million times not to ever take your make up off, I mean look at you. Youre disgusting with your skin so unperfect and your hair with its-". Nymphus stopped when he saw a flash go off and turned around just in time to see Dereks fist connect with his face. He was knocked back through the kitchen wall and there was a crashing sound.

Derek looked at the hole and called back to Gaz without moving his gaze. " Gaz, I need you to get Zim out of here, I'll buy you some time, just hurry". He said

" But why-". Gaz was cut off.

" Just do it okay"! Dereks voice was full of anger. He heard Gaz pick up Zim and carry him out the door. Derek looked over at Shade who had stopped crying and was looking at the floor again. " You should get going too". He said to her, when she didn't move he said it again. " Shade, you need to get-".

" She won't be going anywhere". Derek turned to see Nymphus at the doorway of the kitchen. His entire right side of his face was crushed in, but he acted like he didn't notice. " She belongs to me and only listens to me".

" But how, what the hell are you"? Derek asked, still not able to grasp what he was looking at.

Nymphus laughed and brought a hand up to where the bruise was. He ran his hand over it, and when he lifted his hand, it was fixed, as if there never was a bruise. " I'm". His eyes turned completley black. " More than you can handle". And he shot forward, grasping Dereks throat and raising him off the floor. Derek struck out but it didn't do anything except make Nymphus's grip go tighter. Just when Derek thought he choke to death, Nymphus threw him at the wall, making him cought for oxygen. Nymphus then went over to where he was and pulled him by the hair to make him look at him. " Listen here boy, I am going to give you one last chance, not because I care, but because it'll seem more interesting how you fare in the long run". He then let go of Dereks hair and walked up to Shade, pulling out a small black device. He turned around again and smiled his evil smile. " I also decided to take the little Dib boy, if you want him back you'll have to come and get him". He then pressed a button on the machine and him and Shade disapeared in a flash, leaving Derek on the floor, thinking about what he had just been told.

A little while later, Gaz came in with a limping Zim hanging onto her shoulder. She looked at the wreckage and then at Derek. She came over to him and knelt down and examined him. " He got shade". She kept wiping away blood. " And Dib". She stopped wiping when he said this.

" Are you sure"? Zim asked from the couch.

" Yeah, I mean there really wasn't a reason for him to lie". Zim nodded and then reached inside a table top and pulled out a device. He pressed a button on it and laid it down. He then looked at Gaz.

" Gaz, why don't you go find Gir, I'm sure he's worried somewhere". Gaz gave Zim a confused look and then went off. He then looked back at Derek. " There's something we need to talk about".

Derek raised an eyebrow. " What"?

(Nymphus ship)

Dib was locked onto a table. He had awoken this way and started yelling for help. When no one came he just gave up and started to think about how he got here. He remembered he was in the back yard and then...

All of a sudden Dib heard a sound and he turned his head to see a man walk in. Nymphus. Nymphus walked over and stopped at the table. " Who are you? What do you want"? Dib asked, struggling to get free. Nymphus laughed and then went over to the table by Dib and picked up a drill like device. Dib's eyes widened as he saw it turned on. Nymphus turned his attention back to Dib.

" This is gonna hurt". And raised the drill above Dib. " A lot".

(Zim's house)

Derek stood wide eyed at what Zim had just said. " Are you sure"? He asked. Zim nodded.

" It's only a matter of time before it fully takes affect and you-". Zim stopped when he heard Gaz coming. " Later". He mouthed.

Gaz walked into the room with Gir on her shoulder. Gir jumped off her shoulder and ran over to Zim. " Master, master". Gir cried as he hugged Zim's leg. Zim patted Gir on the head and then picked him up and put him on his shoulder. They all sat in silence until a sound came from outside. " That must be our ride". Zim said, and got up and headed for the door. Gaz and me followed.

" Zim, what's going on-". She stopped at what she saw outside. There on the street was a space ship. A hatch opened up and a stair way led to the ground. A figure appeared at the stairs. She looked like Zim, except she had purple eyes and her anntena was curled. She walked up to Zim and looked him over. " This better be good Zim". She said.

He smiled. " It's nice to see you too, Tak".

A/N: That's all of them. As by now you've probbably expected that all the pairings will come into place. I know have ZAGR and DATR..
