Hello people! Haku1013 here! I've decided to start things off with a Songfic Oneshot of my own, with one of my personal favorite songs, Not One of Us, from The Lion King 2. I hope you like it.

Red fell to his knees the second he exited his ship. They had chosen to retreat to the closest planet not under Resisty control; Planet Dirt. The area was small, and large rocks and debris surrounded the area.

As he looked to the skies, Red saw the remaining ships of the Armada, most just piles of junk that might fall apart at any time, land near him. As the Irkens marched out, all valor and energy gone, Red saw Tak walking to him.

"Forgive me, my Tallest," she said as she helped Red up, "But I have failed you." Red looked down to her, sorrow plain on his face, "No Tak, I have failed you," he looked to the small number of Irkens that began to surround him, some climbing the rocks and ships to get a better view, "I have failed all of you," Red said quietly as his eyes fell to the ground, not being able to look into the eyes of his loyal comrades.

They had lost the battle with the Resisty. Even more, they had lost the Massive, lost most of the armada, lost Purple, but most importantly, they had lost Irk. Even now, Resisty forces were most likely landing on the planet, rampaging cities, destroying Hatcheries, and killing the civilians of Irk. How could this have happened?

The answer was simple really, for it was the same answer to every problem encountered by the Irken Empire. "That's not true my Tallest," explained Tak, "You did everything in your power."

Red gave a weak smile, "As did you."

"Hey look, its Zim," one Irken growled. Suddenly, the quiet crowd was full of quiet gasps, small insults. On cue, a rather short Irken slowly limped through the crows as it parted. "What's he doing here?" A few more asked, "Defective little runt," a few more muttered, while Skoodge and Tenn jumped off from their rock, "Why you little," Skoodge muttered as he grabbed Tenn arm and made her grab his collar, "Hold me back," he told Tenn, who nodded as Skoodge tried to run to Zim, "Let me at 'im! Let me at 'im" he shouted, but then fell face first as Tenn let him go, "Ok." Skoodge sighed as he picked himself up, "I think you're missing the point," he told Tenn, who just smiled.

In seconds, Zim was standing, or attempting to stand, in front of Red and Tak, the latter smiling. "Zim, you're alive," Tak gasped out as she ran to him, or attempted to really, as Red held her back. Understanding, Tak decided against the 'happy' reunion.

"Zim, what are you doing here?" Red asked. Zim looked up to his leader, his red eyes no longer having bright shine to them, but instead were dull and lifeless. "My tallest, please. I didn't know…" he paused as he thought of what to say, "I thought if we could make peace, then…" Zim couldn't finish.

"Then what, Zim? Then we could all live happily ever after? Then the Resisity would just forgive us for doing what we did best? No Zim, you didn't think. You never do, and that's why what I'm about to say will take a load off my shoulders." Red explained, as he stood straight, obviously about to declare something.

"When you returned Zim," He started, every Irken listening, "You begged for judgment," he said, wearing a face of anger and hatred, "And I pass it now!" Many Irkens began to cheer, most hoping for what would come. Zim and Tak, however, were both standing still, knowing what was about tocome.

Red waited for the noise to quiet down, and paused before speaking, "Zim, for your crimes, and betrayal to the empire, you shall receive the punishment used only for the worst of the worst," he looked to Tak, who looked to the ground, then to the crowd of Irkens, most of whom were smiling, "Exile!"

"No!" Tak yelled, tears in her eyes. Zim looked up, bewilderment on his face as the Irkens began to shout, Exile! Get out of here! Defective!

Zim turned Skoodge, who merely threw a stone at him, which knocked Zim to the ground. Zim looked at his friend, holding a hand on his face where the stone had him. As he picked himself up, other Irkens began to follow Skoodge's lead, throwing Stones, trash, anything to get him out of here.

A few more, however began to chant as they bang on pieces of metal and their ships.

Deception! Disgrace! Evil as plain as the scar on his face! Shouted a few, as they drew closer to Zim, all holding weapons. "No!" Tak shouted again, "Zim!" but still Red held her back.

Deception! And outrage! Disgrace! For shame! They chanted as Zim ran as fast as he could. He asked for trouble the moment he came! Skoodge said as he threw another stone at Zim.

Deception! An outrage! He can't change his stripes! Disgrace! For shame! You know these Defective types! Zim ducked as he barely dodged a punch as he continued to run through the crowd, maneuvering around the giant stones and Irkens throwing items at him. He asked for trouble the moment he came! Skoodge muttered under his breath. See Ya later Agitator! Tenn shouted as she waved at Zim.

Zim continued to run through the maze of ships until he tripped. Many Irkens took this opportunity to strike, battering him with anything they could throw at him. Deception! An outrage! Just leave us alone! Disgrace! For shame! They chanted as Zim recovered and began to run again.

Red looked toward the direction Zim ran through, no longer able to see him through the crowd. Born in Grief. Raised in hate. He said to himself. Hearing a soft sob, he looked down to see Tak on her knees, her hands covering her face as tears escaped her. Helpless to defy his fate, she said between to the tears. Seeing this, Red screamed as loud he could to the heavens, Let him run! Let him live! But do not forget what we cannot forgive!

Zim, finally reaching the end of the crowd, continued to run until he came to the top a nearby hill that over looked his people, still hearing them chant, And he is not one of us! He has never been one of us! He is not part of us! Not our kind! Zim closed his eyes he stood there, "Why me?" he asked himself. The answer he got was a burn on his cheek. Opening his eyes, he saw a group of Irkens shooting at him, a laser barely missing that caused the burn.

As Zim started to run again, he was shoved to the ground by a small being. Looking down, Zim was shocked to see GIR, holding tight to his master. Smiling, Zim picked up both himself and GIR and ran. Someone once lied to us! Now we're not so blind! For we knew he would do what he's done. And we know that he'll never be one of us! Zim heard the crowd chant as he ran still.

Pausing at a decaying forest, Zim once again looked back. Using his ocular implants zooming in to see Red, towering above everyone, glaring at him. He also saw Tak, staring at him, depression written on her face. Painfully turning, he walked into the forest with GIR, into the darkness.

Red, seeing Zim gone, bent down to Tak, forcing her to look at him, He is not one of us, he told her as tears still streaked down her face. Letting her go, Red stood up again, listening to the ending chant of his people.

Well, that's it. I wrote it a little different than the average Song-fic, instead incorporating the lyrics into the actual story, instead of around them. I real be doing this for all of the oneshots/chapters. I hope you liked it, and I hope you review. Tell me any requests in the next chapter(s) reviews, please.
