Three months, the time flew right by, Tak started to get big quick, Tak was bound to be at least 4 months to be as big as she had gotten. Zim was now use to there being three in the bed, the smeet moved alot, he didn't know how Tak could be in such deep sleep as she was.
Even though Tak was in a delicate condition, she refused to let out of the battle until the smeet was close to the due date. Irken pregnancies don't last as long as a humans, they last for 6 months as appose to 9, smeets are smaller then Human babies. They don't need that much time to develop, development takes 5 months, and they learn to talk and walk on their own, by the time they're born they already know the basics.
The battle on Meekrob had been quiet, the Resisty took their time to call in other races of the universe to join into battle. Many had already started showing up to the Resisty's bases, keeping invisible from the Irkens.
Back on Meekrob, Zim and the others were sent on Meekrob to scout the canyons. Zim picks up a rock and throws it into a cave. "I never said I wanted to join this war...it doesn't involve me" Zim muttered. Zak searches around their area with his sniper, "When does Tak get shipped back to Earth?"
Zim picks another rock up and throws it in the same cave, "2 months, I'm scared for her, she's already big and they can't send a ship faster to pick her up"
Zak shrugged, "That stuff happens durring times like this, shipment's slow for our snacks and weapons"
"We'll this is rediculous, my smeet's life is at steak and they're taking their sweet ass time"
Zim looks over the caves, two suns beem into his eyes, he sheilds them and see's Gir sitting at the edge. Gir jumps down and lands flat faced. Zim rolls his eyes, noticing a transport ship flying across the sky with a booming, ground shaking thunder of the jets.
"We're going home", Zak stated following it, he activates his spider-legs to increase his speed. Zim activates his and follows, Gir flies toward them and grabs on of Zim's spider-legs and hangs on for the ride.
When they arrived to the Dormitory Ship, they recieived their first paycheck and they had just gotten the delivery of new weapons. Zim took his chance to buy new stuff
Zim later walks into to his room with a box full of new guns, there he saw Tak laying on the bed, bounceing a rubber ball on her stomach. Zim smiles.
Later Tak asked him, "Have you thought of any names?"
"Umm..well none yet, I've been caught up in the war, and my other work", ZIM said, he pulls a big laser out of the box, "Coooolll...", Tak sighs, "yes, I can see you've been very busy", she said sarcastically.
"You don't know how much work it is to...uhh...look at my new weapons", he purposely falls backwards hitting the side of the bed, "see, I'm already getting tired"
"You poor thing...", Tak leans to Zim and kisses his forehead.
Zim pulls another big gun out, "OOOOoooo.."
Tak shakes her head and throws the ball to the wall, it bounces and hits the trigger on the big gun, fireing it, it shoots the wall in front. Both of them freeze, waiting for the wall to open a gaping hole, nothing happens, Tak looks at Zim and then the damaged wall. "umm...I'm not paying for this", ZIM said, he looks at Tak, who is giving him a death look, "ZIM, put the gun away"
"Aww....", he does so, Gir walks in the room with a box full of different weapons, Zim looks at the weapons then like a four year old on Christmas looks to Tak, who sighs, "go ahead". Zim jumps up with a few of his guns "Hey, GIR com'on, let go to the training room and play with our weapons", Zim and Gir both run off like giddy children "DON'T SHOOT ANYONE!!", Tak yelled, knowing they didn't hear her.
Zim and Gir walk into a simulation fire testing room, they find Zak and Kak shooting simulated rocks with their new weapons, "Hey, Zak", Zim pulls out his big gun and fires, shooting a boulder. It explodes, "Woah", Kal scurries to Zim, "What model is that?". he asks him, "Bolt 385 Plasma Rifle". Kal gawks at it, "It's beautiful...", he mutters feeling it's smooth, unscratched surface.
"Kal, you're not going to dump over Rei-onne for that ammature plasma rifle, I actually like her"
Zim glances at Kal, "Who's Rei-onne?", he asked, teasing him. Kal smiles, "I'd never hurt her for a plasma rifle, Dad", he chuckled, "She's my girlfriend, we've been together for 7 years now, I can't imagine another one any better".
"What's she like?", Zim asked.
Kal smiled while he day dreamed"She's crazy, she always has a smile on her face no matter what, she has an odd way of solving things, never does anything that makes sence, but she has the most soft, clear voice that I can never get out of my head"
Zim looks at Zak, "Uh oh! look Zakkie's gettin' old! he's future Grandpa!", Zim laughed, "Kal, I'm messin' with you, you may be young but, I was much, much younger when I fell in love with Tak"
"Dad told me she was a witch and everything she said was added with an insult", Kal stated, noticing Zim's huge smile, makeing these eyes that made his pupils fade for a second, "Yeah,", he chuckles, "She's ma belle, oeil pourpre, étoile, I course, I don't call her that", Zak rolls his eyes, and quickly, changes the subject, "So does that smeet of yours have a name in mind?". Zim snaps out of it, "Nope!", Zim clicks his gun and shoots at a rock.
Gir makes like a ninja and catches the plasma ball. Zim woots. "There he goes, he's got the plasma he's a crazy bastard!", Gir bounces it around like a professional basketball player would, then throws it up and catches it in his mouth and eats it. "He shoots, he scores! -14 points! Gir sucks!", Zim cheered waving his hands in the air. "What names are you thinking about though?"
"I was thinking of something more simple like mine and Tak's name....and no, I'm not gonna name it 'Zak', if it's a boy", ZIM said
"Oh, come'on, why not? it's like a mixture of your's and Tak's name"
"No, maybe, 'Sam', 'Tez' or something around that, a short name"
Zim shoots his bug gun off screen causeing an explosion
"Ahh...I can't wait to get this thing out on the field", he said admiring the puff of dust in front of him.
Years earlier, on Planet Devastis. Zim, now 50 years old, enlisted in the Irken Military Training with Skoodge. He shared an underground dorm on Devasits with a young Irken named Zak. Zak was a few inches taller then Zim, he had purple eyes and a scar on his anntenae from a smeet-hood accident.
Zim and Zak had just gotten back from a simulation training test, "So, if you had the choice to lose a limb, which would it be?", Zak asked Zim durring thier lunch break, "A limb?", Zim thought, "My right arm". Zak gives him a confused look, "Why?"
"I'm left-handed, I never use this arm for anything, so why even have it?"
"You're just a tad bit crazy"
"Hey, you asked", Zim chuckeled.
Tak, in her dormitory, gets dressed into her standered military uniform, today was her final test, the test that determined weather or not she's worthy to become an eleite soldier in hopes to be the ones selected to be one of the Invaders of the upcoming start of Galactic Conquest, Operation Impending Doom.
Zim looks at his watch, "Holy crap, I gotta go, my final test, don't want to be late", Zim gets up and begins to walk out, "You're not gonna eat anything?", Zak asked him, "I'll grab something from the snack machine", Zim answered as he walked off, Zak noticed the one he was headed to was the broken one, "That one doesn't work!", Zak shouted to him, but Zim didn't hear him and was already inserting his ID cord, Zak shrugged and turned away to get something to eat.
Zim struggled at the machine, "Come'on!", he thought to himself, "My test starts in a few minutes". He bangged on the machine. Nothing. He pounded harder on it. Still nothing. He pulls his lazers from his pak and shoots it. NOTHING!, "Damn! I cannot miss this test!", he thought again to himself. Zim walks behind him and activates a Battle Mech with big weaponary, walks it over to the snack machine and shoots it. The power goes out on one half of the planet. Zim gets out and grabs his snack, "Yum".
Tak, in her dorm looks at her door, which is sealed shut, "NO! NO!, SOMEBODY HELP ME! The door's stuck!" She yelled for anybody, "I'll miss my test!"
Zim got to a transport and left for his test, which was on the other side of the planet, uninterupted by the outtage.
Tak was eventually let out by some of the military officers a few hours later, "Oh, man, I missed my test!", she got her things and headed to the testing arena. "Please let me take the test, it wasn't my fault I was locked in my dorm!", she pleaded to the control brain. "The next test isn't until another 70 years", she stated.
"What!?! I've already finished my training, all I need to do is finish the final! Please!?!"
"You will be place on Janitorial Squad: JB325, you will have to wait when the next test is scheduled, I'm sorry".
Tak, years later is inside a ship she had built out of spare parts, looking at a screen which is showing a surveillance tape of that day". She glares at the screen, seeing the Irken responsible for the black out, and finds his current location. "I should've known it was someone so stupid!", she activates her ship, "Mimi! were ditching this floating garbage ball!". A Sir unit, salutes and flies inside the ship, "I'm going to give an old friend a visit".
