yeah i know i did a few mistakes with the last few chapters but i fixed them, well most of them, anyway here is another chapter for you guys hope you like it :D

Chapter 4: Retrieval

The sirens of the incoming police urged Zim to say something, Tak was still crying

"look you can cry about your imperfection later, right now, the police are coming and if they know Irkens were involved they wont be too happy"

Tak looked up at Zim, he still had his happy smile (A/N you those kind of smile you see in animes? when they close their eyes and stuff? yeah its that)

"why are you still smiling?"

"just another advantage of being imperfect"

Tak just put her head down "whats the point? the entire reason i came here is to kill you, and well... you give me reason not to, i dont give two shits what happens in this new war"

"there has to be a reason why your employer wants me to see him"

"how did you and know that we were coming?"

"I have intercepted one of your radio signals one time whilst looking for any alien contact, knowing it was a Irken signal, i was curious and listened. I told Seenums because i knew you guys were gonna talk to him because he was my most closest informant. so i told him you lead you here, i really want to know why me out of every other Irkens on earth is called for"

"well, if your really want to know, I couldn't tell you, for i don't know myself."

Tak stood up and re-holsters her weapon

"I will take you to my employer, but by the time we get outside the police will be there, and judging by what i have seen, they will ask us about it and eventually arrest us"

"we will go through the back entrance of the complex, follow me i know the way"

Zim then holstered his weapon, and with Tak, left the apartment. they went down the stairs, for if any police where there, they would stop them. Zim lead Tak through the kitchen and left the back entrance

"put you hood on, even if we are far from the complex the police questions every Irken on sight"

Tak complied and pulled up her hoodie as did Zim

"where are we going?"

"we are going to see Thomas, he has a few things of mine that i will need, then you will take me to your employer"

Tak looked at Zim's bracer, it was different than the standard issue in Irken military it had a screen, buttons, switches, and a hollow area on the bottom of it

"Zim, your bracer what is it?"

Zim looked at his bracer

"oh this? i customized it alot, it can tell me if i am getting radiation, if i am sick, if my stamina is low, how much blood Im losing, and it also is equipped with a laser blade that is thought activated, along with a mini flamethrower and a grenade launcher the size of a bullet...pretty neat eh?"

"your ready for war..."

"heh heh heh, these days you cant be too careful, especially here on earth"

After about an hour of walking, Zim and Tak reached a house at the other side of town, Zim knocked on the door. the dark skinned Englishmen opened the door with open arms

"ahh. has my star student come for more knowledge? *gives Zim a firm handshake* good to see you again mate, and i see you brought your guest as well, Tak is it?"

"Its good to see you Agian" said Tak

"Thomas, i had a few things here, i think its time i had them back" said Zim

"oh, right come in"

Thomas lets in Zim and Tak into his home, it was quite nice and old fashion

"I'll get your stuff Zim, its in the attic somewhere in the meantime go ahead and pour yourself a cup of tea"

"oh don't mind if i do!" said Tak

when Tak first came to earth, she lived at englend first, therefor taking in its english accent, and perhaps some of its cultures

"mmm, nice and warm!"

"why are you happy all of the sudden?"

"not sure really, maybe its the tea, i really love the tea"

Zim just stared at her, "your Bipolar"

"i beg your pardon? i am not!"

"see?"

"sigh* i guess your right, still its my personality i will do what i want with it!"

"that's the spirit!"

"what?"

"that's just it...you now have a spirit"

Tak just stayed silent, maybe Zim was right, Imperfection has their advantages but she didn't want to admit it like her stubborn self

Thomas called out from the attic

"Oi Zim! i knew you up 'ere"

"right on my way tom!, to Tak* I'll be right back"

Zim then walked toward the ladder to the attic, then he sees Thomas holding a box

"you know the words Zim.."

Zim nodded and put his left hand at the box and whispered words to remove the lock on the box

" Cursus crinem quibus infertur unlock creabit, non ornare metus penalem"

the box then glowed a bright red, and opened

"that was not Irkish, why would you trust this lock with human tongue?"

Zim put his hand on Thomas's shoulder "call it a symbol of my trust with you, you have teach me so much old friend, and i know i could trust you than any other human"

Thomas smiled "it was good to meet you friend, when will you leave earth?"

"heh heh, i assume Tak already told you?"

"some, but i expected as such"

"that's the wise man in your Tom"

Zim pulls out what appears to be a necklace, with a shard of a green crystal.

"you have been staring at that thing for years, and have yet to tell me what it is"

"its something personal Thomas, perhaps in time, you will find out what it is"

Zim put the necklace in his bag pack, then pulled out another item out of the box, it was a sword of some kind, its sheath was made of leather and green crystals covering parts of it like a pattern. as Zim unsheathed the blade it glowed bright green, Zim held it Firm with both hands staring at the blade and whispered the Irkish words: Rozur...

Thomas broke the silence "that blade's metal is not of this planet, nor of any planets of this galaxy, where in god's name did you find it?"

Zim stay silent for a moment, then he spoke "when the tallest was assassinated, a fade memory came back to every Irken, mine...was of a drifting space pod near the fiery hellhole of the planet 'Surukai', it was there where i found this sword, it was there where my last memory before my teenage self forgot about"

"do you plan on going back?" Said Thomas

"perhaps, when this war is over and when i have time to learn about my past, come, we have to leave soon the police wont be as active in the dark when all the Irkens are in curfew"

"wouldn't that cause the police be more active?"

"no, the Irkens will be in their homes during curfew so the police wont worry too much"

Zim and Tak leaves Thomas's house with their goodbyes and firm handshakes Thomas yells:

"will, we meet again Zim?"

"perhaps, I am quite certain our paths will cross again!"

Tak took Zim into her speeder, and flew away to a destination unknown to Zim

this is goodbye for seenums for now, i kinda had trouble on what to think for this chapter. i have to somehow bring a conversation between Zim and Tom. anyways thanks for reading and please reveiw!
