Chapter 11 Arriving

Author's note: HI! I hated this chapter so much that I decided to change it! SO if you are confused why it is different, I changed it. (No irkens were harmed in the making of this fanfict!)

Dib woke up to a weird sound. It was almost like someone was talking, but in a foreign language. He picked up his head and saw Zim yelling at a screen. The screen showed a picture of the tallest. Zim was talking, well screaming, at them in irken. Or at least he guessed it was irken. Dib had only heard Zim talk in irken a few times. He only did it if he was really mad.

Gaz was standing next to Zim, trying to figure out what was going on. Gir was at the window saying something along the lines of "WOA BIG SHINY LIGHT!"

When Zim was done screaming at his leaders, he cut the transmission. Dib stood up and walked over to them.

"Hey Zim, you have to teach me irken sometime!" Dib said. "I want to be able to cuss people out without them knowing!"

Zim smiled at this. "Sure human…But you know that would make you seem more like a nerd!"

"Aw well, I already am a nerd." Dib smiled back.

Zim looked him over. "Are you okay Dib? You hit your head pretty hard."

"Yeah I'm fine." Dib said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Good you wouldn't want to damage your big head!" Zim joked.

"My heads not big you lizard!" Dib played along.

"Well if you two are done acting like children, we have more important manners to deal with!" Gaz said dryly.

"Why what's happening?" Dib asked.

"They're taking us to Irk." Zim said nervously.

"And that's a bad thing right?"

"Yeah…"

"So what are we up against?"

"Well, thousands of trained soldiers, SIR units, advanced irken engineering, ships, and two angry leaders." Zim sighed.

Gaz smiled. "Well if they are all trained like you, maybe we won't have to worry."

Zim glared at the girl menacingly.

Dib put his hand on Zim's shoulder, holding him back. "Gaz!" he snapped.

"What I'M not allowed to make a joke!" Gaz said nonchalantly.

Dib sighed, "We have to act like a team! We will get through this, but we have to stick together!"

Suddenly Gir jumped up from the window, "WOA WE'RE HERE!"

All of them turned and gasped at the sight of the huge planet.

The planet was bigger than Jupiter. It was surrounded by a ring of small asteroids, almost like Saturn, but not as thick. The planet was also covered in a dense fog.

"Behold! You are the first humans to ever lay sight on Military Planet Irk!" Zim said yelled dramatically. "Be not you impressed?"

Gaz shrugged, apparently not impressed.

Dib, however, was fascinated at the sight of Irk. He had never seen such a huge planet before in his life.

He looked over at Zim who was staring longingly at the planet.

"Zim…how long has it been since you've been on Irk?" Dib asked.

Zim chuckled. "Not for a long time…not since training."

Dib could have sworn that Zim shivered when he said the word training.

"Almost feels like forever ago…" Zim whispered, almost inaudibly.

Suddenly the ship lurched, almost knocking them over.

The lights flickered as another beam of light hit them.

"What was that?" Dib said.

Suddenly the lights went out and Gir's eyes went black.

Zim went to the controls.

"Our controls are offline. It must have been a Vortian energy beam."

"What does that mean?"

"They want to make sure that we won't cause any trouble so they shut down all electronics on our ship, including Gir." He said pointing to the disabled robot. "It means that all our weapons are down as well; or at least our electronic weapons."

The massive landed in the landing dock. Red and Purple floated out of their huge ship and immediately prepared for Zim's arrival. Or at least Red did. He did most of the organization of the soldiers.

"Hey Red…" Purple floated up to the other tallest who was standing behind all of the soldiers. "What if they have weapons on the ship?"

Red smiled. "Way ahead of you! The ships have already disarmed any electronics on board with the ray gun. Of course that also disables our weapons, but they won't be able to fight these many soldiers by themselves! I mean, these soldiers were trained for hand to hand fighting, it's what they live for!"

"Yeah, but Zim took out Tak without any weapons…"

"Yeah, but Tak was just a janitor…"

"But Zim is just a fast food worker." Purple interrupted.

Red sighed. "Yes, but Zim is also a dangerous defective. And that is why we have a backup plan. If these soldiers fail to do the job, then we go to Plan B."

Zim's ship was lowered down into the landing dock. Immediately soldiers surrounded the ship. They opened the door.

"Come out with your hands up and your PAK legs sheathed." A random soldier yelled.

At first, nothing happened.

"I said, COME OUT WITH…wait AGHH!" The soldier was hit by something.

The soldiers leaned over to see what had happened.

A figure stepped out of the ship. He was carrying what seemed to be a gun.

Three more figures appeared behind it, each holding their own gun. The guns appeared to be hooked up to a small, clear, backpack on each of their backs.

"ATTACK!" one of the figures screamed.

They shot out a weird liquid at the first few soldiers, causing them to fall to the ground in pain.

"RED! I thought you said they disarmed all mechanics!" Purple cried out.

"They DID! This must be some type of advanced Earth weapon!" Red yelled.

Suddenly an Elite was at their feet. "My tallest! We have to get you out of here! Follow me!"

The tallest followed the elite up to the main building in the city.

"Get more irkens down there!" Red cried out to a general who was running by. "We can't let Zim live!"

…..

Dib shot down the last few soldiers with the last of his water.

"DIB LOOK OUT!"

Dib was knocked to the ground by Zim.

"Zim what the heck?" Dib said standing up.

"Well, sorry! I just thought you wouldn't like being stabbed in the back of the head!" Zim said shooting the soldier that had almost killed Dib. Did he just…save my life?

Dib looked over at the alien. "You saved my life…"

"Yeah, I guess I did…Well, consider it repayment." Zim said trying to catch his breath. "Good shooting by the way! I didn't know you had a good aim! And who knew Earth could actually make a good weapon!"

Dib laughed, "Yeah, a water gun from the thrift shop is defiantly ADVANCED!"

Dib looked up and saw that the tallest were leaving.

"Zim, the tallest are escaping!"

Zim looked up.

"Why are they going there? That is just a business office building…"

"It could be a trap." Gaz offered.

"Yeah, maybe." Zim said scratching his head. "I think you guys should stay here and let me take a look at it."

"Wait…go…into a trap…by yourself?" Gaz confirmed.

"Well yeah…that's the plan!"

"You're more of an idiot than Dib! And that's saying something!" Gaz laughed.

The boys looked at her angrily.

"Come on! I mean are you serious?"

"Well what else are we supposed to do?" Zim asked frustrated.

"Okay, first of all, you need to bring Dib as back up. It's not the best back up but he'll do." Gaz said, taking charge. "And while you do that, I can see if I can hack the computer system that is shutting down our ship's controls."

Zim laughed at this. "Yeah good luck with that!"

Gaz glared at him. "I promise I can do it in under an hour!"

"Sure human! Whatever you say!"

Dib sighed. "Well we have to do this fast, or their will be a lot more soldiers down here!"

Dib and Zim ran toward the big building, while Gaz got to work.

(author's note: wow, I still don't like it, but it is better…um yeah it's a filler chapter…I promise the next one will be better!)
