Mynx: Get over it.
Me: Okay...
Anywho, I'm really enjoying this. I'm even having thoughts abut some pairings to throw in. So...any suggestions? I have various plots for this, so it could go in lots of different directions right now. So sit tight and be prepared for whatever madness I can think of!

You'd think that there would be something better to use than a mop. Mynx thought with a sigh as she looked to the two advancing guards. They couldn't fail here. They'd come to far to just get beaten now. But really, they didn't stand a chance. One had a broken metal bar and the other had...a mop.
'Nice choice.' Zim muttered, looking around, still clueless as to what was going on.
'Improvisation isn't all too easy in empty room, you idiot.' Mynx hissed in return, sighing heavily. She spun round and dropped the mop, picking up the second bar from the floor. 'Happy?' She questioned.
Their bickering had cost them some valuable time. The guards were now closer to them and ready to knock them both out, by the looks of things. Mynx turned on her heel and hit first one, while Zim copied. This wasn't going to be easy. The guards were tained to fight intruders, which was what they were, techinically.
Not knowing what they were up against, Zim nd Mynx did all they could with their broken metal bars, but it took a while.
Surprised that they were actually putting up a fight, the guards assumed it would be over soon enough. They hadn't counted on the pair of them being as strong as they were. As Zim his one of them across the head, Mynx took down the other. Dropping the bar, Mynx picked up Nuk.
Zim sighed and looked around, quite surprised with himself. They had to get out of there as soon as they could- otherwise they would be in even worse trouble. Picking up Gir he turned to Mynx. 'Any ideas to get out of here?' He questioned.
'Well, we could go back the same way as we came- in our Voots.' She said sarcastically as Zim raised an invisible eyebrow.
'Well, I hope you know where yours is, because I don't.' He said, heading for the door.
Shrugging, Mynx followed him out, trying to work out what the Tallest had against them. She couldn't think of anything she had done to deserve this, but she had a feeling that the way they had spoken about Zim, he had done something to upset them- and quite possibly all of Irk. Not bothering to ask about it there and then, she hastily followed the other Irken, who was already half way up the corridor.
'Um...Zim?' She called out, catching up to him. 'Yes?' Zim replied, turning to face her.
'Where are you going?'
'To your Voot.'
'No you're not.'
'Yes I am.'
'No, you're not.'
'How not?'
'Because you're going in the wrong direction.'

After almost twenty minutes of bickering, Zim and Mynx managed to reach Mynx's Voot unseen...a mircale, you could call it. Walking towards it, she noticed Zimhad the same cocky smirk on him as usual.
Well, I'm glad one of us finds this funny...
She sighed and stopped as they reached it. After another argument, it was decided that Zim would take them home; mainly because Mynx wouldn't be able to stand his complaining if she hadn't let him.
Leaving the Massive, Mynx took a look at the two SIRs by her side. Picking up Nuk's lifeless body, she sighed. What was going on? Without Nuk and Gir, it was awfully quiet. Most of the time Gir would be doing his best to get Nuk to join in one of his "games" or to get him to watch the Scary Monkey Show with him. Which would usually end in Nuk almost killing the robot. Mynx smiled slightly at the thought.
After a few minutes of complete silence, Zim finally spoke up. 'What's going on? Why are the Tallest doing this? It must be a mistake.' He said indignantly, not really wanting to face facts. He knew what was going on, but he couldn't face it. He couldn't stand the fact that his whole mission had been a lie. And that the Tallest hated him. That they didn't even like him. He sighed again.
'Zim, how ignorant are you?' Mynx questioned, almost exploding. 'The Tallest hate us. They hate you. They hate me. I don't know why, but they do, okay? And there's nothing we can do!' She sighed and gazed ahead, knowing she had been harsh, but sometimes Zim confused her. A lot.
When a familiar planet came into view, Zim couldn't help but feel grateful to be seeing Earth again. He never wanted to see the Tallest again. Not after this.
On landing the Voot, Zim headed straight for his labs. Mynx carried both Gir and Nuk as she walked behind them.
What they saw horrified them both.

'That horriible Dib-worm!' Zim muttered for the billionth time, trying to fix his computers.
'Yes Zim, we get it.'
'How could that horrible human filth do this to Zim?' He questioned aloud, looking around at the mess infront of them.
Mynx sighed. Again.
'I must've told you about ten times, Zim. He followed me down here, and I was in such a hurry to get out of here, I forgot about him. So he was left here. And he destroyed your labs. Happy?'
'No! He's ruined everything! He's ruined my-'
He couldn't finish his sentence. He didn't have a mission any more. He had never had a mission.
Mynx remained silent. She had been sent here because they had nowhere else to send her. But why did they hate her? She had no idea. But she wanted to know.
The pair of them continued with what they were doing in silence- Zim repairing his labs, and Mynx using whatever was left of the labs to repair Gir and Nuk. Even when they were deactivated, it still took a while to fix them.
Many hours passed, and Zim soon had his compters back up and running. Now all that was left to d was find Dib- who, chances were, had pictures of everything before he had destroyed it. And there would be no way they could stay on Earth if anyone found out about them. And they couldll,n't go back to Irk if the Tallest were still out to get them.
'Finally!' Came Mynx's triumphant Cry as Gir jumped up, blinking rapidly, obviously wondering he wasn't still sleeping on the couch upstairs. With a shrill cry he ran out of the labs.
'Noooo! Scary Monkeeeeeey!'
Mynx shook her head and set to work reparing Nuk. Zim turned to Mynx. 'Couldn't you just have left Gir?' He questioned, a small smirk on his face.
Mynx smiled slightly to herself. No matter how hard Zim always tried, he could never hide that fact that somewhere there was a part of him that actually liked the little robot. She smiled again and turned back to the SIR, now knowing exactly how to repair him, and did it within a space of twenty minutes. As she set Nuk down, the robot gazed around, confused, wondering how he's gotten there. Smiling to herself, she turned to Zim.
'So, what now?' She asked.
'We find the Dib-worm.' Zim replied.
