Zim was working on repairing Gir, finally managing to repair him back to his original self before the tallest had ruined his circuitry with garbage years ago. Dib had broken into the house thirty seconds ago, and was still sneaking around as though the invader hadn't noticed him. An alarm sounded, saying that Zim was receiving a call from the Tallest. Zim sighed. "Dib, could you get that?" He was occupied with Gir.
Dib froze. 'What the heck?' Zim was in the kitchen with his tool kit, still close enough to the living room to watch the television where the message would pop up. "Um… sure?"
"Just turn on the television." Zim explained. The large headed human did just that and backed up as two creatures that looked like Zim's alien form, only taller, stupider looking, and wearing strange outfits, were waiting.
"Um… who are you?" The one in the red asked as he glared at the human.
The purple one looked excited for a minute. "Did you kill Zim?"
"Sorry to burst your bubble, my tallest, but I'm still functioning, and once I'm done repairing Gir, he will be fully functional as well." Zim responded from the kitchen.
This made the purple one sigh and sulk while the red one took over again. "So who is this strange creature? Don't tell me you actually did take over and this is one of your servants."
"That is Dib Membrane, defender of the planet Earth. You would do well to show respect, oh my tallest, for he is fierce and dangerous when he wants to be." Dib looked at Zim with surprise as the alien kept tinkering away at an unconscious Gir. Zim had just praised him! Zim finally took his hands out of the robot's head and resealed him before putting him down. The robot shook his head before his blue eyes turned on once more. "How are you feeling now, Gir?"
"I feel great! I'm gonna go make tacos! You want some?" Zim smiled. Gir was able to talk normally again, even if he did seem childish still, and had a strange love for pigs and Mexican food.
"Sure, Gir. Just remember that I'll need my medicine if you make those."
"Okey-dokey!" Gir then turned to Dib. "Do you want some tacos, big-head?" He seemed to like that nickname for Dib still though.
"Um…sure?" Dib was uncertain of what to think as Zim stood up, dusted himself off, and walked into the living room with more confidence than he usually showed, and that was saying a lot. "Um… aren't you mad that I broke in this time?"
"Pfft, you didn't break anything but a window, and the computer repairs everything in the house each night. Nah, thanks for answering the phone though." The strange invader had grown as tall as the humans did during his time here on Earth, making him the real Tallest of his race, along with Tak, but they didn't know this as they were no longer able to compare to other Irkens. Zim then turned his attention to the tallest. "Well my tallest, what brings you to call upon me after so long of no communication? Surely I thought you had abandoned me already." Zim had a dangerous smile on his face that creeped out everyone but Gir. They had quit calling him or answering his calls after Zim had been there for two years.
"That's why we're calling you, Zim." The red one made sure that there was no way to be confused by the tone of his voice. "You are banished. That's why we sent you to this planet. You can't even conquer it anyway! Don't even bother to return here and you are no invader, just some foolish loser, got it?"
Zim rolled his eyes much to everyone's surprise. "Did it ever occur to you that I only tried to conquer it once? I'm a scientist, not an invader. So please, have some consideration in the fact that I've managed to survive and live among these creatures with only a few knowing what I truly am." That statement shocked his tallest more than it did Dib. At the second Impending Doom Invasion ceremony, Zim had pleaded that being an invader was in his blood, now here he was, eight years later, saying the opposite. "Also, you guys sent a smeet out into the universe to die/invade, congratulations."
"A… smeet?" The purple one was now paying attention again.
"That's not possible. Smeets are too young to know how to do anything." Red argued.
"I was a ten earth years old smeet and you sent me here." Zim still had his scary smile on his face. "I became head scientist of Irk when I was five, back then I went by the name Zimmerton. I'm about to undergo a ceremony that will establish me as an adult of the Earth Species, which apparently matures two years faster than Irkens do. While Irkens are known to live for approximately 200 years, and humans can only live half that long at the moment, I will point out that there are a lot of similarities between the two species." His voice calm, level, and intelligent sounding for once. He then lost the scary smile and looked like a young man contemplating something. "I do believe that means you Tallest just got outsmarted by a smeet." The tallest looked at Zim with shock while Dib couldn't help the smirk on his face. Zim grinned evilly again, "How embarrassing."
True, Dib hated Zim, but if what he just said was true, Zim had never really been his enemy, and these Irkens were even dumber than they thought. Also, Zim seemed to be up for praising him, which was new. 'Who the heck is this and where did he banish Zim?'
"Bu…bu…" The tallest were in shock. This couldn't be possible!
"OH, and one more thing, my Tallest." Zim glared dangerously at the screen. "Should I see any sign of Irkens in this galaxy, I will personally destroy them… if I should fail, then rest assured that the human known as Dib will not, after all… He's a genius smeet of his kind as well." With that, the screen turned off, leaving the two tallest shaking in fear of the invader that they used to think was an idiot!
"That… could have gone better." Purple pointed out.
"YOU THINK!"
