Uwaaah! Nice to be back. Eh heh. Here's the long... and I mean LONG awaited chapter 10 of Invader Neko.

As usual I don't own Zim only Nko

On with teh story yo!

"What are you doing?!" asked Zim infuriated that the planet was not going to be destroyed by his own gloved hands.

Nko didn't even acknowledging that Zim had said something. "You know what really made me mad ZIM?" she said as magma slowly crept over the cracked pavement and front lawns of the Earth.

"It was you! You and, and…DIB!" The boy still lay unconscious on the pavement as the lava encircled him and closed in. Each of Nko's spider legs nimbly found places still safe to step on and moved her rapidly to where the boy lay, she grabbed him and launched herself onto a roof top.

"Oh SURE save the earth monkey!" Called Zim up irritably

"SILENCE!" Said Nko regaining composure "You! And this wretched Earth Monkey," she said holding up Dib by one arm "Just couldn't leave me alone. So, I started this little project so I could have some peace away from you two!"

Zim gave off a frightened squeal as the place where he was standing was engulfed by lava, he quickly jumped on to the roof adjacent of Nko's.

"So then why did you just save the Earth boy?"

Nko looked down at her hand still grasping on to Dibs arm. She quickly tossed him to the side like an old toy.

Dib hit the roof rather hard, he tried not to make any noise signifying that he was either awake or in pain from the toss, he had been feigning unconsciousness since Nko had lifted him up off the ground and wanted to remain unnoticed as he listened to their conversation.

"Because at least he has some decency." Nko was trying to hold back the urge to knock Zim into the magma below. She looked down to see how high it had crept up 'Just a few more feet and then I can start phase two' she thought.

She looked back at Zim, a smile spreading across his face in triumph as if heard a joke no one else understood.

Meanwhile

Nko's SIR, Kitty, was calmly sitting in the depths of the base in front of a huge computer screen displaying the progress of Earth's destruction, awaiting instructions.

The sounds of various pieces of machinery moving took Kitty's attention away from the screen. She looked at the corner of the base where the elevator sat, the doors slid open revealing a SIR unit clad in a green dog suit.

"HI!" Squealed GIR happily as he bounded up to Kitty immediately seizing the SIR unit's head. "Master said to play with your brain!" He said as if nothing was wrong with his master's command.

Kitty squirmed to get away, almost blasting off GIR's head in the process, she finally got out of his grip and backed away. GIR being persistent, and insane, saw this as a game.

Finally he cornered Kitty. His mouth spread into an opened mouth smile, his arms held open wide like he was going to give Kitty a hug, he grabbed the little SIR opened it's head, and commenced to pulling out the little bits of machinery that lay inside.

A communicator came out of Zim's pak "GIR!" he said the smile not leaving his face "As soon as your done 'playing' Get down here!"

Nko got a worried look on her face and likewise took her communicator out. "Kitty! Activate the bubble!" no response "KITTY!"

"Looks like your plan isn't going to work" Zim said as GIR landed on the roof.

Nko growled in discontent "It doesn't matter! I'll activate it myself!" she prepared to launch herself over a few houses to get to her destination faster when Zim's voice called out a command.

"GIR seize the human child!" Nko turned around as Gir dangled Dib, who's eyes where now completely open, over the rising magma below.

Nko looked at Dib then at her base, trying to decide which was more important.

Zim's smile spread wickedly as he started to laugh. "Filthy Defective! Even I didn't think you could sink this low! Feeling sympathy for this pathetic worm baby!"

"It's not sympathy! It's…" She was cut short by Zim.

"Caring? Friendship? Either way it just proves that you should be deactivated!"

"No!" Nko was losing her patients.

"Okay then, GIR drop the earth boy."

Nko quickly launched herself forward catching the boy in her arms as Gir let go and latching on to the nearest roof with one spider leg.

Zim laughed triumphantly. "Pathetic. GIR!" he said turning his attention to the little robot. "Lets get off of this filthy planet and leave these two to rot! NOW Gir!" He jumped on the robot's back and flew off toward his base.

Nko growled and turned her attention to Dib. "Do you want to save your planet Earth monkey?"

Dib looked up confused. "What?"

"Augh! You humans! … Do you want to save your planet or not?!" She glared.

"Of course I do! What do you think I-" He was cut off as Nko leaped through the air and nimbly made her way back to her base.

Nko landed on her roof and looked down at the lava rising below.

"There's no going through the front door at this point." She said kicking a hidden panel on her roof that flipped open.

"Hey why didn't I think of tha-"

"Quiet Earth monkey!" She said shoving him inside. "We have to get down in to my real base and recover my SIR unit… unlike most invaders I don't keep my plans inside my SIR, but I do have a way to stop my plan inside." She said pulling open an air vent.

"Wait… wouldn't that defeat your purpose… Zim could have just stolen your SIR's memory disk and figured out how to stop you."

"You seem to misunderstand. It's an unusual thing I do… Invaders keep plans in the SIR not how to stop them. Zim already knows my plan, so logically to him he has no reason to steal my SIR unit, therefore my plans for cancelling the planet's destruction is safe."

"But wai-" Neko didn't give him a chance to finish. She grabbed his arm and held him close as her spider legs formed a shield around them before jumping down the air vent.

"Here we are." She said setting Dib down and sifting through the remains of her deactivated SIR's 'brains'.

She held up a disk and placed it into the computer before scooping up all the other pieces and setting them in the nearby Voot runner.

"I assume you can read Irken by this point earth boy?" She asked.

"Oh yeah. After all this time with Zim I-"

"I get it Earth monkey." She said holding her hands up in a stop signal. "I don't need your life story. When the disk reads it will have a step by step guide… there's a pause and rewind… just follow it and your little planet will be saved." She hopped into the voot.

"Can't you do it? Where are you going?!" He looked a bit worried.

"Lets just say I have an epic space battle I have to get to." She said starting the voot up. Above them the ceiling opened up revealing the clear blue earth sky before the voot took off.

"Right…" Dib turned away and looked at the computer Screen. "So… what first?"

Bwahaha! n.n Another chapter finished. Did you miss me?
