Tak was getting cold. Irkens had a resistance to extreme temperatures; it was part of every Elite's training. But nonetheless, her escape pod was losing power as time went on. It could only sustain her for so long. She either needed to get a transmission out to The Massive and request help or she would die in the vacuum of space.
"Master, when are we going to excape from this pod?" asked her SIR, Mimi. She had custom built it from scrap parts and upgraded its weapon systems; it was unique among the standard issues given out by the Tallest during the beinning of Impending Doom 2.
Tak thought about it. The part she needed wasn't in the pod; it was back inside the remaining outer shell of her ship (also custom built). That ship had (presumably) crash landed somewhere back on Earth. She had no way of transmitting anything, unless she disassembled Mimi, and thus far, Mimi was her only source of conversation.
She decided to ignore the SIR unit and delved back into her memories of Earth. Perhaps she had missed something... she would never admit it to anyone or to herself, but she sort of... missed her human friend.
DAY 2 ON EARTH FOR TAK
She had programmed her disguise after several humans she saw... the humans who looked the most attractive seemed to get wherever and whatever they wanted, so she tried to make it "attractive" by human standards. In truth, all she saw were ugly pink creatures walking around like pigs, but a couple were what could pass as attractive. At any rate, her disguise was a semi-solid hologram.
Her hypnotic head implant still operated, too, so she could trick that filthy rich human into flying her to that Skool, in the jet. She had locateed an Irken power source at the place, probably from a PAK; it was too small a signal to be a ship. sp that was probably where Zim was.
She wanted him to watch her as she took his mission and his planet from him. She wanted him to know what it was like to have his life ruined. She would get her chance at becoming an Elite soldier and if the need arose, an Invader. It wasn't about revenge; it was about gain.
This planet meant nothing to her, absolutely nothing. Wherever the humans went, they brought their filthy cities with them. They wouldn't see her evil plan as an attempt at world conquest; they'd see it as just another big corporate takeover. They were begging to be destroyed. It would be child's play! No challenge!
She boarded the jet that would take her to this "Skool", noting to herself as she did so to replace this infernal thing's fossil fuel with something less smelly.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
The building was low and flat and unimpressive. Once she got inside, she was reminded of the training academy on Devastis. It was smaller and far less advanced (or complicated) and the purpose of every room was different, but the layout was similar; rooms to every side of the long hallways with lockers to keep your things in.
It also smelled like wet dog.
She followed the power signature on a small, handheld device from her PAK, which her hologram disguised as an ordinary school bag. She had also filled it with meat, as Mimi had informed her today was a meaty holiday the humans called Valentines day.
She had been disappointed to find that touching the meat burned her skin. It was a good thing she wore standard issue gloves under the hologram. She had left her clothes pretty much the same as her uniform. It was inconspicuous enough.
When she was assigned to Zim's "classroom", however, she was almost disappointed to see that he was dumber than she expected. The only disguise he had were a wig and contact lenses! How could the humans not see?!
At any rate, she had a few things to say to the Irk who had trapped her in her room on Devastis 50 years before... hopefully, he would get the message.
"Hi. I'm Tak. I'm new here," she figured she may as well act like a normal human introducing themselves. She forced herself to smile and fake sincerity.
"My father's the head of the Deelishus weenie corporation. That was his jet. SO I BROUGHT VALENTINES MEATS FOR EVERYONE!" she informed. She reached back and tore out every single piece of meat in her PAK and the human children went insane, gobbling it up like little monkeys. She tried to hold her squeedily spooch in check.
"Except for him," she pointed to Zim's horrible disguise," for him, I have prepared a poem."
An ugly girl with long hair laughed and pointed at her. "Looks like Zim has a giiirlfriieeeend!" Could this get any more obnoxious?
"It's not nice, To embarass people... you should apologize and," she initiated her head implant, "eat your eraser!"
The girl's eyes went glassy. "Yes Tak. I'm sorry, Zim," and with that said, she took a bite out of her enormous eraser.
She cleared her throat and pretended to read off a piece of paper, when in fact, the words were in her head already. There were so many things she'd LIKE to say to this Irken boy, SO MANY things... but nto here. Unlike him, she knew what it meant to be an Invader. To blend in.
"For longer than I can remember, I've been looking for someone like you. Someone with a head like yours and a torso too. Birds SING, and you're gonna PAY, the END! YOU SHOULD BE COVERED IN BARBEQUE SAUCE!" she couldn't help screaming towards the end, she was so furious at him. She pulled one last meat product out of her PAK and pummeled him with it, burning his skin right through the Irken uniform he hadn't even tried to hide.
Her life's goal had been ruined on Devastis for THIS?? This pitiful escuse for an Invader? He was a defect! A nothing! Did he have no idea the Tallest had lied to be rid of him?
Judging by the fact that despite the pain, he could simply let the meat go, he didn't, so she supposed not.
This was going to be a long week.
The next day she arrived at the Skool (this time she'd walked, with Mimi) and saw a human girl who looked remarkably like her human disguise. Someone walking nearby didn't fail to notice this. She thought his name was Dim or Dib or something. She cared not. Instead, she tried to speed up and bypass both Dib and the human girl (whos hair was much longer).
Her arm was grabbed by the human Dib, however, and she was forced to turn around and come face to face with her "double". By human standards, she was quite pretty. Her hair was longer than her own disguise and her eyes were much larger and bright blue rather than purple, but aside from that, the disguise was an almost perfect match.
"I've never met this girl in my life, DIB, get lost," said the girl. Her voice, too, was deeper, more mature. She was obviously older than the skool children in Zim's class.
"No wait, are you guys twins or something? Tell me!" the scythe-headed kid commanded.
Tak thought about it. Twins? Humans had twins?
She turned to Mimi, but the SIR unit didn't say a word. Like any human cat animal, it couldn't, but she was willing to bet it was still gathering information. She would ask it later. For now, she supposed she just had to wing it.
She exchanged a look with the human, who looked skeptical. She let her disguise waver for a fraction of a second while the boy's head was turned and the girl was good at not showing surprise. The only thing that changed were her brilliant blue eyes got a bit wider. Dib turned, but by that time, Tak had already fixed her disguise.
"Of... course not... We're close cousins, is all. We try to avoid one another, actually," said the human dully, sounding bored. She pushed Dib's head away and followed Tak up into the Skool.
Once there, the girl grabbed Tak by the front of the shirt and dragged her into an unused classroom. Mimi growled.
"What are you?" she demanded. She didn't look angry, merely curious. Since the classroom was unused and therefor unlikely for anyone to see them, she let her disguise fall. Mimi appeared as a modified SIR unit and immediately pushed the girl away from her, raising a claw threateningly.
"It's fine, Mimi. She just has questions," said Tak. Her SIR unit backed down. Tak decided to use her inplant, but to no avail; the girl was too intelligent for mind control to work.
"Mimi, scan her," she commanded.
"Yes, my master! Bio scan complete! Intelligence, approximately 137, age 17 earth years, gender: female," her robot minion chimed out.
Tak's eyes narrowed suspiciously. What to do...
That was when the classroom door opened.
