10. Alternate Finale

This is the Alternate Ending. This is a little more reader friendly. As you can see it is longer. About a Page or two on mine. And you know the drill Lon's POV Song: This is Our land

DOTS: Burn The Massive!

I sighed sitting by a wall, Sumera was demanding. I almost like that she is back, but then she takes my armor. It was just so young! No I'm not kidding. I'm sitting out here in my old clothes That don't fit.

They were too small like I found them in a smeet facility. Speaking of smeets my little 'brother' as humans call it was born yesterday. He had mom's eyes, but Dad's gender, ego, and petty fears.

"Lon have you seen Marrow?" Mom asked. "Eh? No. You should really put him on a leash y'know" I

said. Mom rolled her eyes and left. "You know Marrow she won't bite she's your mother" I said closing

my eyes. I heard an explosion. "Didn't give him tacos did you?" I asked opening one eye. Marrow ran

out. "Irk you look horrible." I joked. Sumera finally came out. She had the insane idea MY armor be dyed purple while I liked it primrose. "You can't say Purple doesn't look good on me." She said.

I rolled my eyes and got up. "Mom! Marrow is in here!" I called. "Aw... But he's cute!" Sumera

whined. "So are blumbees and we eat them." I told her. Marrow ran out to follow mom.

"That reminds me! You BITCH!" She screamed slapping me. "You ran away!" I rubbed my face.

The next day was slightly better if you don't count Su's 'alertness' tests. Marrow ran in. "Hide me!"

He said getting against my leg. "Er... What's wrong?" I asked. "GIR told me about Kaia!" He said. I rubbed my temples. "So now mom's going to kill me!" He yelled. "Er. No. She says you are her greatest achievement" I told him. So what does that make us? I picked him up. He was precious only the size of my hand. Such a tiny thing. "And you are her last smeet!" I said. I pet his tiny head.

"You are the son of Zim! Get some backbone!" I told him setting him down. He puffed out his tiny chest and saluted. I rolled my eyes as he ran off.

"There you are Marrow!" Mom said running in to him. "don't act like Zim!" She joked making fun of his puffy chest. "why? What's wrong with Dad?" He asked cocking his head. "Too many things to say"

That was more than a little harsh to me. Why does she talk about dad like that? "We need to get Quinn

here today" Sumera said.

"Bring it on"

Marrow meets Mallow

I looked at mom as she left me. Irkens aren't supposed to care for smeets! Irkens are supposed to ship us off to some academy and leave us! I wouldn't ask it it would be rude... Hell I'm the son of a Defect!

"Heh, join the party" a voice said nonchalantly behind me "Eh?" He shook his head. "You have no idea on how bad your situation is do you?" He asked laughing "So mom's a defect?" I asked. "EVERYONE except for me and you are defects" He said laughing.

It did make sense why did they treat me like this? I'm not a tallest! Hell! I'm the Almighty Smallest!

"So they are all dangerous?" I asked. He shook his head. "Only Quinn" I cocked my head. "Do you even know Quinn? No You don't" Blackheart said quickly. "She's a hardcore die hard bitch with red

eyes." He told me. Okay so shes a bitch so dangerous. "Any more money in it?" I asked. "She's a shape

shifter" He added as an afterthought. "Now why am I not defective if both my parents are?" I asked.

He opened his eyes. "You're a brat." "I'm great like that though!" I replied. "Well because of that

response

I'm not sure." I cocked my head. What If I had reacted differently? "Then you sure as hell wouldn't of

been Zim's" He replied to my thought. "Maybe one of them isn't defective!" I blurted out. His antennae twitched. "Hah! So much emotion in them! The chances of..." He said thinking. "Wait a minute."

He made me follow him all the way to where dad was. "this is a fine invader skill observing." He told

me. "No twitching of antennae, his Pak seems more fit." I cocked my head at what he was getting at.

"Hah! That's why!" He said. "What?" "Your father finally got some sense to fix his Pak!" He replied. So Dad wasn't defective. "Which means?" "Call him Tallest Zim, I'm not sure how much he fixed." I

nodded. No more dad. "And If I call him dad?" I asked. "I'm not sure, he might slap you or discipline

you" Blackheart said thinking. "Hey! You'll be the first one in your family to not be a whore!" He

whispered loudly. "eh?" "Spend more time with Lon when I'm around. It's an inside joke." He replied. I nodded. A joke. Well at least I'll have two non-defectives in my family to help. "So Blackheart what is

cute?" I asked. "How did you know my-? Oh right Zim's smeet. What Lon would probably call me."

He mumbled something after that I'm not sure what. It sounded like hoe, but I don't know what gardening tools have to do with anything. "Is that why you don't spend time with her?" I asked. "And

the fact burning is an imminent price of friendship" He added. I have no idea what he said, but I nodded. "Are there any Irkens here that aren't related to me?" I asked. "Me... and... er... Wow he did

fumigate the massive" Blackheart said looking for someone. "Hmm... You know we should go back to

Irk sometime." He said. "Why?" "I don't know You'll find more people like you." I cocked my head. I've only been alive for 1 day what does he mean like me? "Non-defects" I nodded. Irk... Irk. Eh? I

don't know what Irk is? "Eh? You don't? Figures leave it to a female to screw up a Paks programming"

Blackheart commented. I stared. That seemed sexist. Females deserve treatment like males! Blackheart

burst out laughing. "That Evil witch! She messed with you on purpose!" he said laughing. Well my

name was Marrow and that's a females name. "So Irk anyway that's our home planet" He said motioning a circle. "Yes Irk a spherical area. New definition." I said nodding. I felt the ground shock

me. "Someone's trying to get on the Massive." Blackheart said bored. "Male or female?" He asked.

"Female." He chuckled. "Age wise?" He asked. "smeet." His antennae raised in alarm. "Another facility escapade." He said shaking his head. I shrugged and walked off.

1 hour later

Questions whirred through my mind am I a defect? I walked for what seemed like hours before I got to a dark area of the ship. I felt skin brush up against me. There was an interesting smell, like fruit.

"Ow!" I heard a beautifully light and airy voice cry. It sounded flawless like an angelic harp. Of course

I hadn't heard any of that before so I just went by instinct. "Who's there?" I demanded. "State your terms!" She cried back. I twitched my antennae to see if I heard that right. "Intruder! You don't give me

orders!" I yelled. "I won't tell you who I am you'll send me back!" She cried. "I can't do that!" I yelled.

"I'm just a smeet!" I called. "Really? You look like Tallest Tak!" She said observing me. My eyes

adjusted. "I'm a male!" I replied. The lights flickered on. This young smeet was no older than me. She

was half my height and had Magenta-Red eyes. Her antennae was long and curled, A work of art.

"You do look like tallest Tak! What are you doing on the massive?" She asked. "I'm her son." I told her.

She laughed. "She doesn't have a son! I've heard conspiracies about her having daughters, but no son!"

The blood rushed to my face. "So 'son' of the Tallests what's your name?" She asked. "Tell me first!" I

demanded. "Why?" "I'm taller than you." She observed me. "Okay, I'm Malorie so what is your name?" She demanded. "Marrow" She laughed. "Stop laughing!" I yelled. Lon passed by. "Hello who

are you?" She asked looking at Malorie. "Who are you?" She demanded. "You answer to the daughter of a Tallest first, because we can discharge you!" Lon said in a ridiculous voice.

"The Tallest don't have any children! Everyone on Irk knows that!" Lon got a surprised look on her face. "Mom!" She called. "Dad!" I followed. They both walked in rather quickly. "Yes?" Mom asked.

Dad payed more attention to the young female. "Who is she?" He asked. "This is Malorie, she escaped"

I said nervously. Mom bent down to look her in the eyes. "An escapade. Why did she come to the

Massive?" She asked. "Well MOM, she didn't want to be in the academy" I said glaring at her.

"My tallest these two are claiming to be your children." She told her bowing.

"Yes we have three children. Wait! You guys don't know about them on Irk?" Mom asked now confused. "No we believe it's all conspiracies. Irkens don't have reproductive organs!" Malorie said. I

looked at mom for her reply. "You know you're right we don't! Now you wait In the hall while we talk

okay?" She ordered pushing her out in to the hall.

"Mom? What's going on?" Lon asked. "Our ranks are in jeopardy that's what's going on" Mom hissed. "Why don't we exist on Irk?" I asked. "I'll give you a talk okay sit down" "Mom! I've heard it-"

"SIT DOWN!" She erupted. Dad backed off.

"Okay so here's how it goes, smeets are conceived by paks" She said. I cocked my head. "What?" That

didn't even sound ethically possible. "All our organs are in our paks, to prevent smeets WORKING Paks have hormone suppressors" She told us. "Okay so all of you are defects" I said finishing it before

I could barf. "Eh? That- That's right!" Lon said confused. Dad walked back in. "Yes Defects have emotion, for their Paks don't work properly and can't suppress them." I told them. "My Irk even I didn't

know that when I was a smeet" Mom said. "Well he's my third clone" Dad replied. Emotionless.

"Eh? You wouldn't know this Zim!" Mom said laughing. "I come from a long line of Pak builders" He assured mom. Well this is a nice discussion. "So all of you are defects? I can report you!" Malorie said

laughing. "I think the control brains know well enough on Zim." Mom whispered. "Clever." Was all

Dad could say. "Eh?" "Clever! I remember when I was like that." He said walking Malorie out. Torture

De ultimatum.

"So now that I've been filled with the information of a Tallest anything else I need to know?" Malorie asked walking in. "Yes, you aren't allowed to go back to Irk." She huffed. Now what word can

describe her? Cute. "Dad! What did you do to her? Send her through GIR's obstacle course?" I asked

looking at her spazzing out. "Worse... He told me the entire history of Irk! OVER 5,000,000 YEARS!"

She cried shaking. Maybe he set up a line with the control brains to do that. "You wuss!" Lon replied.

Dad was still smiling about his great torture. I would too, 5,000,000 years of knowledge. Moi Vei .

"If you want I can give you the other 5,000,000 years of when we were just a budding society" He said

smiling. She screamed and hid by the recharger. "Teach your son something!" She cried. "I can learn it

any time I want to! And I don't want to." I said slinking away. Dad shrugged and walked away.

"Your father is an arsehole" She said shaking. "Arse? Er.. Never mind. So what else did he tell you?" I

asked. "Why should I tell you? You're the SON of an arse!" She replied. Lon walked out.

"Finally! Alone!" She said in a fetal position. "I'm not a defect." I told her. "Arse. You're an Arse" She said laughing. She sat up and looked me in the eyes. "You know, you have a nice antennae" She

said. I looked around uncomfortable. "Thanks... Your are... Curly." I said searching. "Thanks. All that

learning did something to my Pak" She said fainting. "No." "Eh?" She asked. "I am not an idiot." I told

her smiling and shaking my head. "You have your own quarters. Even a half wit knows that a Pak even

when it's not charged will revive the Irken any time" She was looking for a dance. I was looking for her

to get the message no. "Wuss, take a chance!" She said punching me. "I'm only one day old, Go figure"

I replied slapping her. Pretty soon we were fighting. "Whoa!" Sumera said breaking it up. "What the

Hell is going on?" She asked. "He slapped me!" She said pointing. "She was faking a Pak attack!" I

hissed. "You! Don't hit girls." She said pointing at me. "You! Are much too young." She told Malorie.

"But nothing will happen!" She argued. "ANYTHING could happen. I happened." She said

sorrowful. " Sister! Sumera! Really nothing could happen she's too young and I have NO ROMANTIC

INTEREST IN HER!" I hissed. Malorie pawed me. "Get off me! Are all females whores?" I asked. I

got that word from Blackheart. "No! Well Malorie and Lon.." Sumera said thinking. "Aw... Come on"

Malorie said making the saddest face possible. "No! Irk, you're only one day old!" I yelled. "50,000

years ago they were married off as smeets" She said. "Sumera get some sense in to her!" I said. She

laughed and left. Traitor whore thing.

"Malorie I do like you, just not in the way you-" I was cut off.

Her lips touched mine.

I Reach out for you. And you Push me off. (Lon)Song:Wake me when you Need Me (Halo 3)

I looked back in. They were kissing. Okay Malorie was kissing him, but he was actually red like a human. His eyes relaxed a little and I walked out. "Leave it to a female to give a guy some feeling" I

thought laughing. "Shouldn't you be training not being a spy?" Sumera asked. "That's our little

sibling!" I yelled. "Peh, I just know you're up to something." She said shrugging. She wasn't going

insane she just didn't trust me. "I'm on a very fine line with you private." I said. She rolled her eyes.

"I'm so scared. My little sister!" Sumera mocked. "Years ago you tried to kill everyone I know and loved! I could have killed you there. I SHOULD have killed you there, but I spared your sorry ass" I

told her. I stomped off.

In the training room

I decided to use a punching bag. It was nice

30 seconds later

I heard the door open behind me. "Lon?" It was Dad. With Marrow and Malorie. "Yes dad?" I asked.

"ACK! What the Hell did you do to this poor bag! Send it through a processor?" He asked stepping

over the 'casualties' I smiled at his reactions. "Dad I'm going to die!" I said sobbing. "I know Lon, we

all know." He said sitting down next to me. "I'm only 70!" I told him. "I know, I've counted your age"

He said smiling. "I'm 600 years before my time." I told him. "I know. I'm sorry you had a horrible life"

He told me. "You know, your mother gave me a great idea." He said. I looked up. "tomorrow you'll be

78" He said smiling. "After she convinced me We pitched in to build this for you." He lead me to the

area near the side pod. "It's a new Voot." He said. I know where he was getting at. Only mom can make

him soft for this stuff. "Thanks dad." I smiled with tears in my eyes. "Lon life is short." He said

sighing.

"I know." I told him. "No. You and I share a birthday, I'm 240 tomorrow" He told me. "I have 500

years left, not even considering all the people who will try to kill me." He said. "You have a couple

hours." He told me. "When I was 70 I was put on trial" He told me. "I had to find some way to survive

and when my death seemed inevitable, I could actually value life much more" He told me. "I could

value GIR, acknowledge Dib, And realize about my life" He told me. "For 5 minutes, then I screwed

them up and was an ass again." He joked. I laughed. "But I can't screw up. I only have one chance and

if I screw that up I'll be dead and Irk will die" I told him. "Screwing up can save a life." He told me.

It was true when Blackheart hit my windshield 70 years ago we found out he had a monoxide leak.

"Sumera told me you said you screwed up by letting her live" He told me. "But You saved Tak's life"

I smiled. "So dad, what was the worst that happened to you?" I asked. "I was 148..."

Zim learns his Truth

"GIR! How many times have I told you to stay away from the amplifier!" I yelled. GIR didn't answer

me instead he walked off to make FILTHY Earth food. "I made Taquitos!" GIR said walking in with a

plate of the most disfigured things I had ever seen. "Yes so you did. GIR I'm going to the storage level

to find a replacement intelligence brain. I want you to make sure there are no fluctuations in this 'taco'

beam" I told him. He saluted. "And GIR, give me your filthy animal replicas" I ordered. He was not

going to screw this up AGAIN. GIR shot out a geyser of pigs and moose. "GIR anything else?" I

demanded. GIR teared up and gave me his taquitos. I disposed of them properly and left to the storage

level. "Hey you know what I haven't contacted my Tallest today." I told myself in realization. If I didn't

contact them today they might worry.

After installing the new brain I decided to contact my Tallests. They answered it after 5 minutes.

"Greetings My Tallest!" I said saluting. "Greetings Zim" He said dully. I saw Tallest Purple talking to

another Irken in the background. It was Tak! "My Tallest! She's the one that told me those Lies about

you!" I said panicking. Tallest Purple turned around. "Zim!" Tak hissed noticing me. "Tak!" I hissed

back. "Zim..." "Why are you talking to HER?" "Zim-" "She's the one who said those-" "ZIM!" He

yelled. "Yes my Tallest?" I asked. Tak glared at me. "What are you going to do?" Tallest Purple asked

turning around. "Telling Zim the truth" He replied. Purple thought this over. "Wait! No! Don't!" He

yelled. "Zim, Tak wasn't lying. Your mission is a lie! Just to get you out of our antennae." He yelled.

Tallest Purple stared. "A-A Lie?" I asked. "Yes Zim a lie." He repeated. I sank down in my chair.

"I was just your Plaything?" I asked pointing. "Was" Purple hissed at Red. "Yes, Zim you're a defect."

I laughed. "You are great jokers my Tallests" I said laughing. "We aren't Joking Zim." Tak stared in the

background. "So can I have his mission then?" "What Mission? Ugh, Fine!" Red replied turning

around. "You aren't allowed back to Irk. And Tak is the only Irken allowed to Earth" He hissed. I

grinned. Then I could say whatever I wanted. "Yes Sir, you're the best piece of Coupa ever." I said. He

glared at his poor choice at words. "Yes Red, thank you." Purple said upset. They couldn't survive

without me. And He knew it.

Lon finishes listening

"Ouch. So your mission was a lie." I told him. He shrugged. "Yes, Ironically here I am running the

place" He told me laughing. "So what did you do after that?" I asked. "Well, first I destroyed most the

things in my lab." I laughed. "So do you feel better?" He asked. "A little, but I still have to kill!" I told

him. "Some look to kill Lon, What are you looking for?" He asked. "I'm looking to get killed." I

admitted. I felt a presence around me. "It's funny I know the trick to life!" I told him. "But I can't seem

to act it out!" He smiled. "You have all your life. You lived long enough to die Lon." Marrow came up

to me. "So how are you and your girlfriend?" I asked. "She's not my Girlfriend!" He yelled. Dad got up

and left. "I saw you kissing her. And If she ambushed you, you took your sweet time pushing her off!"

I told him.

His face turned dark green. "I wanted to know why you are sad." I smiled at him. "Well, this is my

last day." I told him. "Last day for what? Where are you going?" He asked cocking his head. "If I'm

lucky straight to Hell." I told him. "Why?" "Quinn is looking to kill me." "And I'm giving in." I told

him. "She is going to look to me and yell save me. I'm going to say no." He stared confused.

"Some kill for pleasure."

"Some kill for duties"

"Some get killed just to see Hell"

"I get killed to save my Land."

"This is the last time you will see me alive."

"Take a mental picture."

"I'll get bombarded by knives."

"And be blown up by architecture"
"One day you will smile on what I did"

"On when I could band together"

"So when you are senile you can still remember"

"That This is Our Land"

I hugged Marrow with Tears in my eyes. Then the ship spazzed out. The lights were out and we were

on the ceiling. "What in the name of Irk?" Marrow cried. "Quinn's here." We all replied. All these

broken objects. "Quinn! Come out and fight!" I screamed. "Where's the fun in that?" Scratching

scurrying. Metal ripping screaming.

Sumera ran in with my armor on and she was on fire. "Everyone okay?" She asked. I nodded. A long

howl of pain was heard. "Her creations." I said mortified. Sumera tossed me the wrist plate. The metal

burst open to reveal the most horrid creature. It was light pink and fleshy with a beak. It had plates on it's back, and Red markings. Air was being sucked out of the ship. "Hell! Why is it always that wall?" I

asked. It charged and exploded. "Okay! Nice thing Quinn! Now show yourself!" I screamed. "Fine" I

turned around to see a pipe to my head.

I woke up to find us all on a wall. Except for Gaz. "Hello niece. Have a nice nap?" She asked. "No."

"Too bad are you ready to watch my pet get it's first snack?" She asked. She held up Malorie. Marrow

looked up. "Leave Malorie alone!" He yelled. He was being strained to hold himself up. "Is she your

girlfriend?" Quinn asked. "No! Just put her down!" He cried. "Why?" "You touch one of her antennae

and I'll bite both of your off." He threatened. "Are you ready to go to Hell little smeet?" She asked.

"Only if you are first" Quinn turned around and I used my Pak legs to free myself

I pushed her against a wall. "Clever clever bitch." She

said. I used my lasers to free the rest of my family. Where was Blackheart though? "You were an idiot

to mess with my family!" I yelled. I grabbed my wrist plate off the ground. "You can't even gauge your

enemies strength!" She said. My wrist plate caught fire. "I can gauge how you're going to burn though"

She pushed me off. "You want to kill me. That's cute!" She said. She soon got Sumera. "But you have

to kill her first."she said possessing her. Sumera's eyes glowed with the same Evil of Quinn's. She used

my armor to catch on fire. "This is nice." My neck was scorched with the searing heat of the fire. I saw

mom and dad look up. "Dad! Get them out of here!" I screamed throwing the wrist plate at them. "But

Lon!" Mom cried. "This is where I look Hell in the eye! This is where we atone for our sins!" I yelled.

Blackheart ran in with Gaz. "Look. Boy gets the girl just as he can watch her die!" She said laughing

and dropping me. She picked up Gaz. "Gaz!" Blackheart screamed. "Drop her! I'm the one you want!

Me!" I yelled. She smiled. Blackheart and I managed to make a run for it.

Once we were in the ships heart we could rest. "What are we going to do?" I asked. "Two choices die

a hero or become a villain!" He replied. "I'd like to LIVE A HERO!" I yelled. "There's a third option."

I turned to him. "But we'll both die if we do it." He told me.

"We have to Burn down the Massive" I gulped. The med bay was damaged, but the fumigation switch

still worked. "It's been an honor." I told him. "So we burn down the Massive?" I nodded. We snuck

around. "Blackheart there's only one other way, but it's only big enough for one of us without our

Paks" I told him motioning to the blocked passage. "I'll go. You run" I told him. "You have ten

minutes to become the most Bad ass person I've ever known" He told me I nodded and took off my

Pak. I crawled through the vent as it closed in.

3 minutes passed and I found the Med bay. "I was waiting for you." Quinn said smugly. I grinned.

"You won't be fumigating the Massive." She said grabbing me. I pushed her off. The switch didn't

work. "You moron I know this ship inside and out. I've been here the whole time." She planned this.

"Bitch! Kill you I can still!" I yelled. "Oh! You don't have a Pak do you? Happy me!" I ran past her and

to the control room. There were still many ports on which I could use. I entered in the Massive's

override code. It started the countdown. I sighed. "It's all over now."

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5..." It started. Then it stopped. I heard a humming sound as Quinn ran in and grabbed me by my throat. "You think it's over? Just like that? Well you're wrong" She said shaking me.

"You know? I'm glad I'm going to hell!" I told her. The humming was meant to drive me insane. It

calmed me and made me hostile. I started a long cackle. "Why are you laughing? Death isn't enjoyable!" She yelled.

"3,2,1"

She shook me shouting to stop laughing. "Save me!" She yelled. I leaned close to her. "No."

The humming was loud for one second and I felt my face get hot.

"SAVE ME! SAVE-"

Outside the Massive the humming is increasingly loud although nearly deafened by a long laugh.

Screams are heard from within as the ships watch as it imploded on itself. Tears are heard from within

the two ships. Although in the smaller ship Gaz and Blackheart watch smiling, Blackheart has a single

tear in his eye. "There goes the greatest hero ever." He says and hugs Gaz as he moves to the back of

the ship. Silence is followed after the implosion dust echoes the screams.

My POV

I remember years ago. I only knew her for one day, but I still have her impression on me.

Who am I? I am Marrow, 500 years ago to be in fact I still remember it. All the death. All the screams.

What has become of Irk? There isn't any Irk. It's all gone from the implosion. My wife and I are the

last survivors of a dying species.

But that was her fight, this is mine.

Yay! For the Crappy Alternate ending! No I'm not going to branch off with my SotH trilogy. It won't

exist although I did consider it. There will be a third installment I'm confirming it. Dots. Daughter of

the Survivors. It's following Tak's Smeethood. Why survivors? Figure it out.
