The Tallest Gene
Disclaimer: I don't own Invader Zim. I do own the funniness of this fic tho.
The makeshift command tent had dozens of machine stuffed into it, high power radio transmitters, banks of computers and, a single large segmented Plasma Screen had been dedicated to watching what Tango and Seirra Team could see. They saw GIR, which Dib explained to the military present was a dysfunctional SIR Unit
"Commander! Commander, do you read? Come in!" Said the radio operator desperately before looking up at Colonel Hank, "Sir, they aren't responding."
Dib sighed and shuddered at the images on the screen, of bodies partially cooked, blackened, with blood all over the place. A woman in combat fatigues had turned green and vomited onto the floor. No one bothered cleaning that up.
"Hellooooo?"
Gir's voice filtered through the static as the camera buckled and jiggled, putting a large Cyan eye into the screen as the robot picked the head set, up.
"Who is this? You aren't the Unit Commander!" Squawked the Operator on the headset, "Identify yourself at once!"
"Byeeeeee!"
The camera jiggled loudly as they saw the machine open it's maw and swallow the camera, killing the image on the screen.
Colonel Hank harrumphed and looked down at the elementary boy in front of him, "Now what?"
"Nothing."
Eyes blinked, heads turned as people turned and looked at the little boy as his glasses reflected light.
Hank blinked several times before narrowing his eyes and lips tightened on his cigar, "Why."
"Because there isn't anything to be done, sir," said Dib carefully, "Were those pulse plasma guns the best you had?"
"No," replied the Colonel calmly as he chewed on the end of his cancer-inducing deathstick, "We've got a particle beam platform on the moon. A lot of other projects, but otherwise just the city-killing laser."
"Is it operational?"
"Yes. Why? Can it take out this Zim?"
Dib shrugged, "The only way to find out is if we try."
"Boy, you are talking about using a multi-gigaton city killing laser on a single alien. Thats just overkill," replied the Colonel as he spat out the cigar stub and crushed the sparks out with his boot. But a smile grew on his face, "But then again, I like overkill."

High above in space, on the surface of the moon, a large moon base, previously hidden within one of the many craters that pockmarked it's face, whirled to life. The particle beam cannon was a marvel of engineering by human standards, holding a twenty two gigatons per shot of 'Fuck You' that could vaporize a city and leave a large greasy crater behind. The base of the cannon whined as it maneuvered the weapon towards it's target.
A set of computer-based sights settled down directly at a large bizarre looking house.

While Gir cleaned up himself from the short battle with human special forces, the Irken Invader was working on his backpack, modifying certain functions he deemed were no longer needed.
"Master, human authorties are evacuating the city," droned the Computer.
Zim looked up from his work, eyes narrowing, "I see. What about the Dib-Human?"
"He appears to be working with the military forces present in the area. Human transmissions are becoming increasingly heavily encrypted, not that it poses a challenge to me," droned the Computer with a hint of pride, "However, they mentioned some form of particle weapon stationed up on this planet's single moon."
"Very well," Zim went back to working on his Pak, "Beam all essentials to my cloaked station and allow them to remove this base with their pathetic weapon. If anything remains, auto-self destruct."
"Yes sir," groaned the Computer almost sadly.

The particle cannon whined into position, it's servos clicking at second intervals, holding the weapon into place. Data streams had confirmed that most of the population had been evacuated from the city. Data confirmed that multiple orbital satellites were in position to concentrate firepower. The cannon's batteries glowed with bubbling energy, raw and unrefined. It's fusion reactors fizzed with barely contained energies as power surged forth.
Data confirmed that all weapon systems were online and optimized for firing.
Data confirmed that the city was now a viable target.
The muzzle of the particle cannons glowed as glowing wisps of energy gathered into a single point, soon forming a tiny ball of blue-white sphere of destruction. The nearby satellites began bombarding the sphere with gamma radiation and exotic matter, enhancing it's already formidable firepower even further.
For a second, the sphere seemed to condense and grow invisible.
That moment passed as a great fount of incandescent white hot blue lightning was sent tumbling down to it's designated target.

Dr. Membrane said nothing, holding onto the helicopter's braces as he watched his son stare out into the window.
Dib watched with trepidation as the sky seemed to burn white as though the sun had decided to come say hello early. His eyes watered as the light increased a dozen times over. The clouds parted to allow a single point of light through, followed by an ever expanding steam of lightning and vaporized matter. His tearing eyes watched as the beam of heavenly might thunder down towards that freaky house. That house that contained Zim.
That alien monster called Zim.
But he doubted that Zim would die from just this.
He doubted it as the dot impacted the house point blank.
The city became a bright sun that was born on the surface of Earth itself.
Sorry for the delay. In return here is a new chapter! Part 2 coming along shortly!
