Disclaimer: I don't own Invader Zim. . . except Mike

You will all realize that I changed the writing structure of this chapter from the crammed paragraphs to . . . well . . . this. Hope you like it.

anything in bold is slow motion so I can describe seconds of action better

Chapter 6: Saved by Roswell

Zim was down deep in his lab working on his newest invention. Gir was running around the table that Zim was working at squeaking like an idiot. Zim finished welding a device onto the new invention, and raised it over his head.

"SUCCESS!!" Zim yelled. "Thanks to my awesome brilliance, my waffle cannon is complete!"

"YAY!! WAFFLES!!" Gir screamed, just because Zim said waffle.

"Hmm, I still need ammo for my cannon," Zim said scratching his chin. "Gir! Make me waffles so I can crush that child who was hanging out with the Dib-human."

Gir screamed with excitement and went up to the house to make wake waffles with God knows what.

"That human will regret the day that he messed with Zim! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

On the side of the giant weenie stand a black figure scaled the wall.

He wore what looked like SWAT clothing and was covered in head to toe in body armor. On his back he carried a submachine gun similar to a UMP and an AA 12 gauge. On the front of his chest was an array of ammo clips for his weapons. His belt held various grenades and other gadgets, along with a pistol and a second rappel. A black compact gas mask with a black tinted visor hid the figure's face.

He got midway and locked his rappel into place. He pulled out a portable plasma cutter and begun cutting out a 5x5 square out of the wall.

"Thank you Tak for this wonderful slave. We are looking forward to your sugar cane plan." said Red, and then the transmission cut.

"NOOOOO!!" Dib yelled in despair, losing the only other person that knew his cause.

"Hmm, so much for that pathetic human." Tak said nonchalantly.

Dib started steaming. "He might have been sent to the Massive, but that doesn't consider him pathetic. He was the only human other than me and Gaz who resisted your hypno . . . uh. . . thingy. Also he tricked you and you never suspected a thing." Dib said as proudly as his present state would allow him.

"Well, I guess I'll have to commend him on that. At least he's a little less pathetic than you are." Tak added with a quick laugh.

Dib didn't say anything. She was right. In retrospect, Mike had gotten closer to defeating an Irken in one day than it took him five years.

"So what're you gonna do to me now?" Dib finally said nervously.

"Hmm, you know what? I haven't really given it much thought. I was actually planning on capturing you myself before I began my plan. But I guess that didn't happen now did it?" Tak said crossing her arms.

"Well, since I'm obviously not going anywhere soon, why don't you tell me what your plan is?" Dib said.

Tak thought for a second. "Hugh. Fine." Dib's leaned his head in as much as he could on the gurney listening intently.

"Do you remember when Zim left me in space?"

"Yeah." (please insert your own version of the flashback)

"Well, after that I floated in space for about six months. My distress beacon was picked up by a stray Spittle Runner and I was picked up. I was hoping to be sent to Irk but the drone found out I was working on planet Dirt for janitorial duty and sent me back there. I stayed there for four years cleaning, and then my court case with the control brains came for why I was missing for so long. I pleaded with them and the Tallest that it wasn't my fault but they wouldn't let my absence slide. They said if I could provide them with something of value they would let me go. Unfortunately the only thing I managed to get from Earth was all the information on it on Mimi's hard drive. The control brains analyzed the information and found nothing of value except one thing: sugar."

". . . sugar?" Dib said with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, sugar. The control brains analyzed its molecular structure to be extremely delicious, far greater than what we Irkens manufacture for our own snacks. Since this kind of sugar has never been documented, we assumed that it's only found on Earth."

"So that's why you're here? You're going to steal all of our sugar?" Dib asked.

"Yes. Since the Tallest didn't feel like expending any more invaders they sent me to Earth, once again. I'm to retrieve all of Earth's sugar cane, to be made into the universe's most delicious snacks for my Tallest. In return, the Tallest will finally give me invader status and I'll get to pick my very own planet in the upcoming Impending Doom III." Tak finally finished, taking in a breath.

"So you're not going to take over the world?" Dib asked, still confused by Tak's whole plan.

Tak sighed, "No, I'm not taking over Earth. I tried to last time to impress my Tallest and get back at Zim. Since I don't have to get back at Zim now, taking over Earth is just a waste of time."

"Oh! Well . . . I guess that's not so bad. Hey, do you think you could let me go now?" Dib said.

"No I'm not going to let you go! My plan may not be directly affecting you but I know you will try to stop me!" Tak assured Dib.

"Darn!" Dib said in defeat.

All of a sudden Tak's computer said, "There is a transmission from the Tallest."

"Put them on computer." Tak said.

The computer put the transmission on the humongous screen. I showed Tallest Red and Purple very angry about something.

"Tak! What is this thing you brought us!" Red yelled. He motioned to two guards to his left restraining a beat-looking Mike by the arms. The strange thing was that he just stood there, as if rigamortis had taken over his entire body. It didn't even seem he was blinking or breathing.

"But my Tallest that was the human that attacked me before." Tak said, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

"Yeah right! Ever since we brought him aboard he hasn't even flinched. The engineers have been hitting him with bats for the past few minutes, and it doesn't even look like he's in pain." Purple said pulling Mike in front of him, who except for his clothes didn't have a scratch.

The black figure had finished cutting through the wall. He tried to move it but it was too heavy. So, he just shrugged his shoulders and attached a few breaching charges to the wall. He scaled about 10 feet to the side and pulled out a detonator. He shielded his face with his left arm and pushed the button.

"My tallest I really don't know what's wrong with him!" Tak said.

"Well we better have some answers soon, or someone's going to get it!" Red stated.

"Get what?" Purple asked. Red just shrugged off the question.

Suddenly, a large explosion could be heard about ten level up in Tak's base, followed by a large chunk of wall flew across to the other wall. It slammed into it and plunged to the floor. Tak dodged the piece of her base as it hit the ground and flattened like a pancake.

Ten levels up, the black figure ran to a railing and jumped over it. He took out his second rappel and attached it to the railing in mid-air, and slid down it wildly with dangerous speed; meeting the floor where Tak, Mimi, and Dib where in moments.

"What am I?! An intruder magnet!" Tak yelled, infuriated by this fourth break-in today. "Mimi! Get him!" she said, pointing at the figure.

Mimi, who's been standing next to Tak this whole chapter, lunged at the figure with her right arm stretched out. The figure dodged the flying SIR unit easily, and took out his sub-machine gun. Before Mimi even hit the ground she was pelted with 9mm bullets. Mimi wasn't fazed by the bullets; they didn't even dent her body. After the figure emptied his clip into the robot he switched to his AA 12. He fired off one round. The slug left the gun, shotgun cartridge ejecting. The slug hit Mimi square in the right eye, the red glow changing to a dull grey with a few sparks. Mimi, still able to see through one eye, unleashed all of her weapons out of the top of her head. She charged them and prepared to fire. The figure switched the clip in his gun with red shells with a clip full of green ones. He recocked his weapon, ejecting the last red shell, and took aim at Mimi. He fired off another round. The green shell left the gun and the slug soared through the air. Out of the slug popped six little fins. On the side of the round it read 'Frag 12, HE, Armor Piercing'. The slug hit Mimi between the eyes, and pierced right through her armor. It exploded within her head and a small hole exploded in back. She fell to the ground, motionless. (note- in retrospect this whole paragraph describes about half a second of action, I'm just detailed like that : P)

"Mimi!" Tak yelled in fear, seeing her loyal SIR unit defeated. She was about to attack the figure, only to realize she didn't want to end up as her SIR unit. She looked at the figure, who had his gun pointed at her with one hand and his free hand wagging his finger in an 'I wouldn't do that if I were you' fashion.

The figure moved his head to look at Mike on the screen. "Mike!" The figure ordered. His real voice was obviously masked by the bass one that he presently spoke with. Mike, who had finally blinked out of his trance, looked at the figure. "Show them what you can do." The figure said again.

"My pleasure." Mike said menacingly. His arms started bulging and his skin tore, revealing two bulky mechanical appendages. He flung the two guards off of him and did a back flip into the middle of the bridge. His left forearm transformed into a grenade launcher with a six round drum; and his right into a four-barreled gattling gun, which started spinning once it finished transforming. Two pieces of metal jutted from both sides of Mike's jaw bone, coming together like an Optimus Prime style face plate. He lifted his weapons, aiming them at everyone in the room. The engineers, guards, even the Tallest took this as hint to leave as fast as they could screaming like little girls, which they did. Mike, now in the empty bridge looked back at the figure.

"Commence data drain." The figure said, still pointing the gun at Tak.

Mike's left hand switched back to a regular robotic arm and plunged it into one of the computers on the bridge. Surges of electricity went up his arm. In a few seconds he said. "Data drain complete. Sending information to base now."

All of a sudden, the door to the bridge opened, revealing heavily armored and armed soldiers. He fired his gattling gun at the soldiers, who ducked back into the doorway.

"Mike, activate self-destruct sequence." the figure ordered. On Mike's his forehead a counter appeared starting at thirty seconds. Without warning the soldiers poured out of the door. Mike shot at them, taking a few down. They fired back, hitting Mike countless times. Mike fell down onto his back, random parts of his robotic body exposed from the blasts. One of the soldiers looked at his forehead, which now read ten seconds. Realizing it was a bomb, the soldiers started running around in circles.

5 seconds

"Fire him out the airlock!" the first to notice said.

3 seconds

Mike's motionless body was sucked into a tube.

2 seconds

Mke was fired out into space. His body exploded much more violently and humongous that the Irken soldiers had expected, similar to that of a 50 megaton nuclear blast. The Tallest and engineers hustled back into the bridge, realizing the threat was over.

"Well that was sure . . . strange." Red said.

"This whole ordeal is making me hungry. Let's get something to eat. Have fun with ever you're doing Tak." Purple said. He nudged Red and pointed behind Tak, whispering something where his ear would be.

"You're right they are!" Red said in a half wisper.

"What?!" Tak asked.

"Well it seems that . . ." Red was cut off by an engineer.

"My Tallest. Incoming EMP wave!" the engineer said looking at the scanners on his computer. The bridge violently shook, and then the transmission cut.

"My tallest?" Tak said, in disbelief of what had just happened. "Wait a minute." Tak remembered what Red and Purple were talking about and she looked behind her. Her eyes widened to find Dib and the black figure gone. The restraints that held Dib in place were cut with what looked like a plasma cutter that lay on the ground next to the gurney. They must've escaped during the ordeal on the Massive.

All Tak could do now was scream that horrible, glass-shattering scream of hers in pure hate and anger.

And dat's chapter six.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna screw around with Tak and Zim the whole story.

I DO have a thought out storyline, just for those out there who think I'm gonna write stuff like this the whole time.

I'll probably update in a few weeks to let those awesome reviews pour in!

So in the mean time . . . R&R.
