Holy crap! I love this one! Okay, I know I havent updated this for so long. You want to know why? Well, I couldn't think of what to happen next, and I had exams. I then thought of this perfect way. I know it doesn't really start off really good, and it kind of goes really fast, but I think it's really good. The next chapters a secret and it will be about what happens to Zim. And yes, I really do hate Tak. So, anyways lets get on with the show. ^_^
I do not own INVADER ZIM! Only Lei, Neak, Sali, and Tess.
Lei stood there in horror. She could tell by the expression on Dib's face that it looked like something had happened that wasn't supposed to. Yeah, Zim did kiss her, but nothing else happened.
Lei felt something touch her hand. She looked down to see Zim holding her hand. She let her head fall in frustration while pulling her hand out of his grasp.
Dib narrowed his eyes. "Do I want to know what happened?" He said with a snarky tone.
Lei took a breath and pulled her chin up from her chest. "Nothing happened." She said through clenched teeth.
"We kissed." Zim blurted out with pride, swinging his arm over my shoulders.
Lei squirmed out from under his arm and backed up against the wall, letting Zim and Dib glare at each other.
Dib turned his head to Lei with rage in his eyes. "You kissed him?" he was trying to hold in his anger.
"H-h-he kissed me. I-I-I didn't..." She couldn't finish her sentence before Dib had leapt on top of Zim.
Lei was right pushed up against the wall in horror. Dib had rolled up on top of Zim and pinned him down. Dib threw a punch at Zim's eye, Zim wincing when the fist made contact. Zim then pushed Dib off him and jumped farther from Dib, holding a hand over his bruised eye.
"You want to fight?" Zim said, pulling off his disguise. "Whoever wins, gets to live." Zim's spider legs popped out of his P.A.K.
Lei jumped between the two enemies. "No!" She yelled causing the two to turn their attention to her. "Please don't." Tears had begun to stream down her cheeks. "I won't let you fight or kill each other."
Zim's eyes softened and he began to walk up to Lei, but Dib jumped in front of him.
"Don't touch her." Dib said in a menacing voice. "She's my girlfriend."
Zim stood there glaring back at Dib, their faces inches from the other.
Lei walked between the two, again, and pushed them away from each other. "I won't let you do anything." She yelled once more, making the house shake. "You guys will make the neighbours call the cops if you make even more of a commotion!"
Next Door
Tak was glaring out a window when she heard a girl shout. She turned her head to the direction of the noise and looked out the window that faced Lei's window from across a little ally way.
She watched as Lei jumped between a boy with black hair and glasses and a green skinned boy. "I won't let you fight or kill eachother." She heard her say as Tak saw tears stream down Lei's face.
Tak turned back into her own house. "Neak, honey, come here." She yelled through the house.
Neak appeared around a corner. He had an unreadable look on his face. "What is it?" he walked over to Tak and stood beside her.
She pointed out the window to the scene. "I think we should attack now." She turned to her husband who was watching the scene play out.
His face was scrunched up as he thought. A sigh escaped his mouth and he turned to his wife. "We have only been here for a day. It would be way too early to attack now. You need to calm down." He grabbed her shoulders and starred into her eyes. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. He pulled away and she smiled.
She sighed. "Thanks." Her purple eyes shinned back at Neak's crimson orbs.
"Mommy! I'm bored." Tess whined as she ran to her parents. "I want to attack now."She said with excitement glowing in her large purple orbs.
Neak sighed again and ruffled his daughter's antennas causing her to scrunch her face. "You are so much like your mother. No patience at all." He chuckled.
Tak turned back to the scene in the neighbouring house. Dib and Zim had been pushed apart and Lei was standing in between them, telling them something that Tak couldn't exactly hear.
She turned back to her husband. "They are weak and would be caught off guard if we attacked now. It's the perfect—"
"No Tak. Not now. Stick to the plan."Neak said sternly.
Tak's eyes went cold. "Fine," she glared at Neak, "I will attack while you stick to your precious plan."
Neak opened his mouth to protest but was cut off by Tak waving him off. "I won't ruin your plan."
She walked off and out the door.
Neak wringed his hands worryingly. "She can't fight Zim alone." He thought out loud.
Tess looked up at him. "I want to fight too." She pulled on her father's uniform.
Neak looked down at his daughters pleading eyes. "First, you have to help me get the weapons ready, then we can fight." He said with a sigh.
The little smeet jumped with joy. "Yay!" She squealed and ran off to the base down below.
Neak took one last worrying look out the window to the neighbouring house, then followed his daughter to the base.
Tak was standing outside the door to Lei's. Adrenaline raced through her veins. She gathered herself and kicked the door down.
Dib and Zim stopped glaring at each other to look at the door. Zim's antenna flattened on his head in fear. "Tak?" He let out in almost a whisper.
Lei spun to the door as well. She was speechless and couldn't wrap her head around what was going on.
Tak's spider legs popped out of her P.A.K and she charged at Zim. Zim dodged Tak and ran out the door with Tak in hot pursuit.
"Who the hell is that?" Lei yelled at Dib.
"That's Tak. She came here before and tried to kill Zim or something, and I guess she's here for revenge." Dib said in shock.
Lei looked at Dib. "We need to help him."
"How? We are only human and this is between them, not us."
Lei grabbed Dib by the shirt and glared at him. "I am not letting that bitch kill Zim!" She said through clenched teeth.
Dib looked into her eyes. They were full of anger and fear. Fear for herself, or for Zim? A thought hit Dib. "You like him, don't you?" he whispered.
Lei dropped Dib. She didn't know who she liked anymore. She turned her back to him. "You wouldn't like me anymore if you knew what I was."
Dib got up and placed a hand on Lei's shoulder. "What do you mean?" He didn't like where this was going.
Lei shrugged off Dibs appendage. "If you don't want to help me save Zim, then don't." She said before bolting out the door.
Dib stood there not knowing what to make of this. He just stood there watching Lei run off into the distance. He didn't want to save Zim, but he knew Lei would get hurt if she tried to fight Tak. After a few moments of thinking, Dib ran off following Lei.
At the Crazy Taco...
Sali and Gir were sitting at a booth scarfing down tacos and drinking slush monkeys when a little buzz was heard. Gir's communicator popped out from his head. The screen was fuzzy for a moment till Zim's face formed on it.
"Gir! I need you to help me!" He said while running from Tak, who could be heard yelling in the distance. The screen went fuzzy again.
Gir's eyes went red. "I need to help master!" he said while jumping through a window.
Sali ran after Gir, her eyes turning red as well. "I will help you!" She yelled after the other S.I.R.
Gir screeched to a halt and turned to Sali, his eyes turning back to their blue cyan colour. "No, you will get hurt." He said.
Sali looked back him. "You will get hurt too if you don't have back up." As she said this, her communicator popped out. Lei was on the screen and it seemed she was running.
"Sali! I need you to come help me save Zim!" She said to the tiny robot. The screen went fuzzy and popped back into Sali's head.
"I need to help my master!" She yelled in a battle cry and ran off to find Lei.
Gir's eyes had a hint of worry in them, but went back to their red colour remembering about his own master. He ran down the street to find Zim.
Somewhere In An Ally Downtown...
Zim was propped up on his own metal spider legs glaring at Tak. "What the hell are you doing here?" He said without thinking.
Tak smirked at him. "Really Zim? Are you that stupid?" She charged at him attempting to stab him with her own spider legs.
Zim dodged each time, then ran up the side of a building finally getting on the roof.
Tak followed him. "Why don't you fight back?" She pouted as she advanced on him.
Zim watched where he was going, as well as watching where Tak was. He couldn't say anything due to the fact he was trying to think of a plan.
Tak pounced at Zim, causing him to jump to the side, almost falling off the side of the building.
Just as Zim balanced himself, someone had jumped on Tak's back. It was another Irken and she had yellow eyes and lightning bolt antenna.
"Lei!" Zim yelled out at the new fighter. He ran over to her to try and help, but was pushed to the side by one of Tak's flailing legs.
Lei pinned Tak down with her mechanical appendages. "What the hell are you doing here?" She said in a menacing voice.
Tak spit in her face, causing Lei to close her eyes. She then escaped her grasp and glared at Lei. "Getting revenge." She smirked then attacked Zim once more.
Lei whiped the spit out of her eyes and threw herself at the Irken. She managed to use one of her spider legs to scratch her face.
Tak screamed in pain as the metal leg ran across her face, breaking the skin. "You bitch!" She yelled at Lei. She jumped at Lei and pinned her down.
Lei squirmed in Tak's grasp. Drops of blood fell from Tak's face onto Lei's. A knife popped out of Tak's P.A.K and landed in Tak's hand. She smirked. "I will teach you not to mess with me." Tak whispered to Lei.
Tak took the tip of the blade and placed it over Lei's right eye. She then pressed the tip into Lei's skin, causing Lei to scream in pain. Blood started to build up in the spot where the knife dug in. Tak then glided the tip slowly from over her right eye to under her left eye, leaving a long deep cut.
Anger ran through Zim's veins as he watched. He got himself up and ran at Tak. "Get away from her you fucken bitch!" He yelled.
He jumped on top of Tak and grabbed her around the neck, causing her to drop the knife.
Lei picked up the knife and threw it over the ledge. She then whiped her face, smearing blood on her arm and across the left side of her face.
Just then, a male Irken reached the roof. He looked at Tak and Zim who were trying to stab each other with their mechanical appendages. "Tak!" He screamed.
Tak turned her head to her husband. Zim took this moment to thrust all his spider legs at Tak. They pierced right through the female Irkens body.
Neak watched as his wife's eyes went lifeless and her expression dulled. He ran to her body as it slid off the metal legs and began to fall to the ground below.
It seemed to happen all in slow motion to everyone on the roof. Her limp body fell from fifteen feet, and landed with a crack on the cement below.
Neak stopped himself before he fell off the roof. Anger boiled in his blood. He spun himself at Zim and pulled out a machete from his own P.A.K and drove it through Zim's chest.
Lei watched with wide eyes. It was her turn to get pissed off. She charged at Neak and managed to push him off the roof. She then picked up Zim's body and ran back to her base.
Thoughts ran through her head as she ran. She couldn't lose Zim, not again.
Zim's head moved to look at Lei. "I love you." He whispered.
Lei was trying not to cry as he said that. "You are going to be okay." She said as she arrived at her house. She kicked down the door and ran for her base.
Once she got down to her base, she laid Zim on a metal table in the middle of the room. She was getting random instruments and giving the computer orders.
Just as Lei hooked Zim up to some type of hose, Dib ran into the room with the two S..
Gir saw his master laying on the table. "Master!" He yelled as he ran to Zim's side. Sali ran to stand beside Gir.
"You're Irken?" Dib said in shock.
Lei nodded as she tried to hook some more wires up to the dying Irken. "I told you that you wouldn't like me if you found out what I was."
Dib walked up to her. "I still like you."
Lei sighed and gave the computer some more orders. Her mind was swimming and she couldn't keep her mind straight.
Dib began to help her. He grabbed some more wires and attached them to Zim.
Zim moaned in agony. His mind was going foggy and he couldn't think straight at all. He could hear Lei giving orders to the computer, Dib trying to help her, Gir crying at his side, and Sali trying to comfort Gir. The more he strained to hear, the more his body hurt.
His mind went blank and he saw a light. He tried to force himself not to go to it, but every time he went closer, the pain eased away just a bit more. He was then engulfed by the light.
_ Cliffhanger! Mwahahahaha! Does Zim die? Tak did and that was the most dramatic part of this I think. Yeah, so like I said, the next chapter is about Zimmeh boy and what happens to him. I can't wait to write that, but I think it might be a short chapter for it. Anyways, review and tell me what you think ^_^
