It's All Over
I do not own Invader Zim or any characters associated.
We are getting close to the end here. Don't worry though, this is not the end of the series.
Narrative POV
Onboard The Massive
"What could this possibly be?" Said tallest Red as he looked upon the elite tattoo with the numbers 387 in the center. It was drawn in blood on the wall. "No. I thought for sure we killed him on Earth." Said tallest Red. Just then Red noticed an Invader walking down the hall.
"Good day my Tallest." Said Invader Zee. "What's this? It looks like The Massive is haunted. Last I heard Unit 387 was dead." Zee remembered when that guard caught Zim and she had to watch him slice his neck. Zim decided to take advantage of the dead Irken before him.
He used his blood and painted 387's symbol on the wall, then he dumped the body into space. Now Zee stood before the same symbol, acting as if she had just seen it. "Zee, I don't know what to do. I have this horrible feeling, like something will happen. But I just don't know."
Zee was so tempted to say: I know what's going to happen: we are going to expose the truth. But she knew that if she did then it would never happen. "I honestly thought we killed him on Earth. But then again, this could be anyone. I don't want to think that Zim is here causing trouble somewhere on the Massive."
"My tallest, I will do everything I possibly can to find whoever did this." Zee responded. "It's good to have someone I trust around, thank you Zee." Said tallest Red Zee wanted to burst out laughing but instead she just bowed and walked away.
"This is great, the only ones that need to stay undercover are Zim, Tak, and Tenn! The rest of us are still completely trusted by the tallest." Zee thought as she walked down the hall. "Zee, Zim's calling everyone back, seems important." Said Invader Grapa over the tiny speaker Zee was hiding.
Zee felt so alive working with Zim and the others. Despite how suicidal it was. She was also thankful to Zim for removing everyone's ES2 chips. Without it, Zee felt so many different emotions. And there was even something that she couldn't explain going on.
She barely knew Grapa but she just wanted to be close to him. Every time she heard his voice she shivered with excitement. Every time she saw him she blushed, but she was able to hide it well. She remembered how Tak kissed Zim a few days ago.
"Was this a way to express love?" She thought. She dreamed of one day kissing Grapa. But then she remembered that she needed to be 100% focused on this mission or they would fail, Zim discussed this when they first removed the ES2 chips from everyone.
Just then she walked up to a terminal and input a code that let her go through the sliding door into a completely abandoned part of the Massive. "Good you're here." Said Zim greeting Zee. "Everyone! I recently learned of a group that may be able help us.
They call themselves: The Resisty. Yes I know their name is terrible. Okay, all we need to do is bribe them and get them to cause some trouble. The rest of you will also have to cause distractions in some sort of disguise. Meanwhile, Tak and I will sneak into the tallest's personal quarters to access their private terminal and call all Irkens to a gathering where we will expose the data box. Any questions?"
"Yes. When will this happen?" asked Skoodge. "Hopefully tomorrow." Zim responded. "Alright then. I'm going to call Lard Narr A.K.A. the leader of the resisty." And with that said, Zim walked over to the monitor and called Vortian prisoner 777. "Oh, hey Zim!" Said the Vortian prisoner.
"777. You have always been a good friend, and if what I am planning succeeds then I will make sure you are freed." Zim responded. "Wow, what do you need then?" said 777 "All I need you to do is set up a link between here and the resisty. I would give you more details, but I can't risk it." Zim responded.
"Really, that's all? Well okay then. Here . . . they . . . are!" After that, 777 looked at the screen and smiled. As he smiled his face disappeared into static. "Hello. Am I speaking with Lard Narr?" Zim asked as a group of random aliens appeared on the screen.
"What do you want scum?" Lard Narr asked coldly. Zim explained everything that had happened and offered the return of all conquered planets. "Okay so if we help you, can we also get a peace treaty?" asked Lard Narr.
"We'll see." Zim responded. He was honest about returning their planets but he knew their can never be peace. And then he told them when to attack and he cut the transmission. "Okay everyone, listen up, rest up tonight because this might very well be your last.
But know this, whether we win or lose, we'll at least be known for trying. And if we happen to succeed, each and every one of you will be remembered as hero's. Dead or alive. Goodnight team." After Zim said that he left for his quarters.
He laid down on an old bed and retracted the metal plate that covered his face and looked at the up at the metal ceiling. Despite what he was preparing for he still felt so empty. But why, he thought. Just then he heard the metal door slide open. It was Tak.
"Zim. I know how important this mission is but, what if we die tomorrow?" said Tak. "We won't." Zim responded. "But Zim, you don't know that! Please. Let me stay here tonight with you." She was begging.
Zim sighed, "Okay. You know, the data box taught me a lot of uh, methods for um mating." Zim said awkwardly. "Zim, I would love to share that with you, but I'm also here because, I'm scared. I don't want to die Zim."
Suddenly Zim felt yet another emotion he couldn't recognize. He wanted to comfort Tak, make feel safe with him. Not only that, he wanted her safe. If he knew anyone was capable of keeping Tak safe he was.
Zim hugged Tak and began to speak:
I need you, right here,
By my side.
You're everything I'm not, in my life.
We're indestructible, we are untouchable.
Nothing can take us down tonight.
You are so beautiful,
It should be criminal, that you could be mine.
And we will make it out alive.
I promise you this love will never die.
No matter what,
I got your back.
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that.
I swear to god,
That in the bitter end,
We're gonna be the last ones standing.
So believe me,
When I say,
You're the one.
They'll never forgive us for the things we've done.
We will make it out alive.
I promise you this love will never die.
No matter what,
I got your back.
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that.
I swear to god,
That in the bitter end,
We're gonna be the last ones standing.
We'll never fall,
We'll never fade.
I promise you forever,
And my soul to take.
No matter what,
Until the bitter end,
We're gonna be the last ones standing.
And everybody said that we would never last,
And if they saw us now,
I bet they'd take it back.
It doesn't matter what we do,
Or what we say.
'Cause nothing matters anyway.
No matter what,
I got your back.
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that.
I swear to god,
That in the bitter end,
We're gonna be the last ones standing.
We'll never fall (we'll never fall)
We'll never fade (we'll never fade)
No matter what,
Until the bitter end,
We're gonna be the last ones standing.

And then Tak pushed Zim onto the bed and pulled him into a kiss.
The Next Morning
"Zim we all wish you the best of luck. We are on our way to attack the massive." Said Lard Narr. "Good. And we thank you all for helping us." And then Zim cut the transmission. Alright everyone, you know what to do. Everyone was wearing an elite outfit with a hood, except for Zim and Tak, who didn't need disguises.
And then everyone scattered. Zim and Tak then climbed into the air vent. Every once in a while Zim would glance at a map of the vents. Finally they reached the tallest's personal quarters. Zim kicked down the vent and helped Tak out.
He put a finger over his mouth signaling to be quiet. "Hey! You're not supposed to be up here!" shouted an elite. when Zim looked over he saw there were two of them. One of them started the alarm, while the other charged at Zim.
Without even trying, Zim sliced his neck. The other elite rushed over only to meet a similar fate. After about ten minutes of searching, Zim found the tallest's private terminal. He sent a broadcast into every Irkens PAK telling them to meet on conventia the next day.
And then Zim grabbed Tak's arm and ran out the door. They could hear a mechanical voice shouting: LOCKDOWN over and over again. They finally reached the airlock where everyone would meet on The Red Avenger.
But there was only a few seconds until it locked down. Tak ran to the terminal and typed in some codes. "Zim! I gave you a few more seconds. GO! She yelled. Zim's face twisted with pain. "Tak, I can't leave you!" Zim shouted back.
Tak smiled at Zim and shoved him through the door. He took one last look at her. She was smiling. Zim could see the elites behind her. He cried and rushed onto the ship as it left. He sat in the captains chair sobbing.
Everyone else survived. The next day, Zim exposed the information and the tallest disappeared. Zim cried every night. Even being crowned the new leader of the Irken race, he still felt empty. He thanked himself for spending that one night with Tak. He wished He could see her . . . just once more.
Well this is the end. But don't worry, I will make a sequel :) oh and the song is: No Matter What, by Papa Roach. REMEMBER I take no credit for the song.
