(I don't own IZ
Wow this has gotten bigger than any other fic I have attempted and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon.
Yes I had to put my character out of commission for a while this is Dib's and Zim's story after all, plus she had to deliver that great line greatest strength greatest weakness,)
By the time Dib had dropped off the ruined Eagle, TunaGhost had already secured WolfWings in the med lab "How is she?" "She is a horrible patient I had to put a sleep spell on top of the painkiller spell, otherwise she would have been trying to help out, even with only one good arm, and she is in no condition to be moving around, werewolf healing or not, no one can take plowing into a mountain at the speed she was going and walk away unscathed, Is the Eagle salvageable?"
"No it's a complete mess, my Dad is already examining it and muttering about all the improvements he is going to make on the next generation. Let's go see Zim and find out how the battle is going"
They took a teleporter up to Earth Platform one and stepped into chaos "Zim what's going on" "They got one of their troop transports down"
"Damn! How? Where?" "They sent three down at once and with fighter ships protecting this time. We managed to get two of the transports but it cost us 26 Eagles to do so,. As for where, they landed in China. The Chinese military aren't doing to well, those Dhahmons move quickly and have already destroyed several villages and small cities. We tried offering help but they refused, they said that Earth can't afford one fighter taken from the defense starside to help dirtside."
"Damn it if they aren't right, I hope Dad comes up with something to stop them when they do reach ground."
"The good news is they've withdrawn again, but it wont be for long, they outnumber us 75 to 1 these odds aren't good, at this rate they will get several more troop carriers down and we will have lost half of Earth before the Tallest arrive" "We will have to find a way to do better won't we" Dib said glumly
Zim looked over at Dib it wouldn't do for the mission leader to be depressed, it would bring down the troops moral, then he spotted the perfect distraction
"Hey Dib you forgot something?" He tugged on one of his own antenna, Dibs hands shot up to his hair "I um needed to use them in the desert" "Admit it Dib stink you like them better than your pitiful human ears, It won't be long before you learn that the rest of Irken anatomy is better than that pitiful meat sack you laughingly call a body" "Oh yeah who can't stand the touch of water one of the universes more common elements? I like my human body just fine Zim; I will admit the antennas are cool though"
"They are called lekku; keep them on, they are important for when you meet the tallest" "How so?" "You will know when the time comes, or if you are truly curios search your
pak's memory base everything you need to know about being Irken is there. I know how greedy you are for information, I'm sure you don't need my prompting." Zim grinned evilly
Dib sighed he knew he was defeated in this case each time he shifted and the antenna, correction lekku disappeared he felt as though he wend blind and deaf at the same time, it was getting harder to get rid of them, so he was going to admit defeat and keep the lekku. He was not however going to go full Irken 24/7 anytime soon, it was to creepy, having a beating heart is normal for him, going without in Irken form he had a bad habit of looking for a pulse, and the whole water is acid thing was just wrong.
Not knowing enough of the China situation he let the acting officers handle the situation; he sat back and reviewed his pak's memory base and waited for the Dhahmons next move.
(Just a short chapter this time. I don't know if the word "lekku" is cannon or fanon but it's so prevalent among fics I had to use it. I had Tacos : D )
