Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim, I just love the characers
Synopsis: Well, they finally did it, convinced Dib that there were no such things as aliens, using unconventional means. Now Dib doesn't know what's real, and what isn't anymore. Is he Zim? He must complete his mission!
A/N: this is my first ZADR and Yaoi, please R/R :D
Rated M for intense violence/slash and of course yaoi
Skoodge quivered as Dib paced in front of him. His own breathing was erratic, heart beating wildly at the implications of what Dib had just told him.
"I-I just couldn't think of anything else, and I was too afraid of what might happen when they get here. What if they kill him, I can't let that happen. Too dangerous, They have too much power." Dib muttered.
The human was right, Skoodge had been all too aware of that himself. Even at how he had been treated, as some kind of joke among his own kind. Skoodge had been the first to conquer his planet much to the surprise of the Tallest, and what did it get him? Blasted out of a cannon at the surface because he didn't fit the image that they wanted.
His mind began to function again, racing through scenarios, he knew other Irkens that felt the same way. Yes, this would change the course of their history if they could pull it off. Couldn't be any worse than what it was now he supposed. And Dib was right about the Tallest and how they hated Zim, treated him as entertainment in front of all Irken society, just to keep him out of the way.
Dib stopped in front of Skoodge and dropped to his knees so he could look Skoodge in the face. Dib's eyes looked at him imploringly.
"Tell me this is wrong and I'll call it off." His eyes were wide, frantic, scared as he offered the choice to Skoodge. No, he was right. The Tallest may very well kill Zim when they got here. He was there when they found out that he was still alive. They had hoped they were long rid of him since they hadn't received any transmissions over the last several years. So it was with shock when they found out he was still alive, and they were none too pleased. Especially when Dib had convinced them of Zim imminent take over of the planet and then the location of the Resisty to top it off. Their hands were tied by that alone.
"No, no your right. I think I can help, but it's going to be sticky and we have to be very careful. And what ever you do, don't say anything about this to Zim. "
Relief spread through Dib now that he had an ally.
"No, no, not yet." Dib began to explain everything in detail. Skoodge listened, interjecting here and there as they tweaked the plan. Where had Zim found this boy? Skoodge was impressed by how thorough Dib was with all the details, how much information the human knew.
"How did you know, about Zim that is?" Skoodge had to ask.
Dib stood and shrugged. "Wasn't hard when I had started hacking into systems and pulling up information. You should have heard how furious he was when he found out." Dib paused at that, his hand rubbing that spot on his head. "Well, this Zim anyways." He muttered, "But I don't think our Zim will react much differently."
When Dib talked like that it always freaked Skoodge out a little bit. It was weird hearing Dib talk like he was Zim and wondered what had happened to him. One Zim was hard enough to handle.
They heard the sound of Zim's ship coming in, and once he landed strode over to them.
"That Tak! Thinking she can stop us!" Zim grinned with glee.
"Tak?" Skoodge asked.
"Yes that she-Irk who tried taking my mission before." He spat out. "But she is now of no consequences as I have stranded her on the station."
"Zim, I've been hacking into government's computers, but it's been slow going as they have it so heavily encrypted, and using Plookesian besides, but I think I have found what they have been working on."
"Good My-Dib, lets see what else we can do before the Tallest get here, time grows short!" Zim marched off towards his central command room. Dib gave Skoodge one last look before he followed Zim.
Skoodge nodded at him and turned towards his ship. He had lots to do and a very small amount of time to do it in. He sat in his ship and began to contact those who were less likely to turn him in, who would be more inclined to this cause. He really didn't care to get shot out of a canon again, or fed to a Narothian beast.
As he contacted Irken after Irken, he was surprised at the support he was finding, and it worried him a little. Maybe something like this was long overdue. Skoodge shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he made the final contact. And when the image flashed on the screen he almost cringed.
"Commander Lard Nar." Skoodge addressed him.
Lard Nar's eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Are you the Irken this Earthian Dib told us about?"
"N-no, but I am working with Dib and I have some good news for you. But before we give the final go ahead Dib wanted me to get some reassurance that he gets his end of the bargain."
"And what of you Irken? Where does your allegiance lie?"
"I serve my new Tallest and his human." Skoodge replied.
"And what of my people?"
Skoodge transferred the data over to the leader of the Resisty, everything Dib had given him. His yellow eyes seemed to widen with the new information, his horns flexing slightly.
"It is as the human Dib has said. The Earth planet needs to surrender itself to Invader, I mean Tallest Zim, and once we have overthrown the old Tallest he shall reinstate all planetary rights back to their rightful owners. Bearing in mind the Irken Empire shall still have control, but will no longer meddle in planetary affairs." To a certain degree Skoodge didn't add. Commander Lard Nar could read the agreement himself and the contracts that would be made.
Skoodge tried not to fidget as Lard Nar looked over the documents. Time seemed to draw out as he waited, and waited and waited. Then a small smile seemed to form on the Vortian's face.
"Very well, tell this Dib that when he receives the confirmation of the Earthian planets surrender then all will be agreed upon. Commander Lard Nar out."
The screen went blank and Skoodge just stared at it wide eyed, his squeedly-spooch twisting. By the Tallest what were they doing? He sent out the message to go ahead and meet at the rendezvous point to his contacts.
There was just going to be one HUGE problem with this plan. Zim had no idea what they were planning and Dib had been right when he said Zim would probably kill him when he did find out. They not only had to get to the Talllest, but they also had to deal with the control brains. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Dib already had plans about that as well.
Skoodge made his way back down to the bowels of the base where he found Zim and Dib working on decoding information. Dib was concentrating intently on the monitor in front of him as he hacked into the system. It finally beeped at him and granted him access, satellite images pulled up displaying photos of the various governments and the extremely large and alien looking weapons they were building.
Zim snorted, "Pitiful, stupid humans. That is such old technology, even a smeet could build it."
"What are your plans?" Skoodge asked him.
"Now that we have my ship, it will be easy to infiltrate and destroy their little play things." Zim laughed. "Watch the stupid dirt-monkeys run around confused and helpless."
Then the warning system started beeping, and the computer voice droned up. Incoming message.
"Eh?" Zim questioned. "From who?"
"Hello Zim." Tallest Red stood before the screen, eyes narrowed slightly.
"My Tallest." Zim whispered.
Skoodge's eyes widened until he thought they were going to pop out. Did they some how find out about what they were planning all ready? He glanced over at Dib who took a step next to Zim, a protective move he probably wasn't even aware of. He wished he could reach over and pull him back a bit.
Then those red eyes caught site of Skoodge standing there. Skoodge thought his squeedly-spooch was going to burst. Reds eyes swiveled between the three of them, and seemed to narrow a little more on Zim.
"It seems we will be earlier than expected. Is everything ready?"
"Yes, of course my Tallest. I have crippled these worthless dirt dwellers and they will be ripe for conquest." Zim stood proud and tall before them.
And then Skoodge realized why Red had been scrutinizing them. Their height differences. Not long ago Zim used to be shorter than Skoodge, and now he stood just a few hand spans shorter than Dib, who was close in height to the Tallest himself. This was not good at all. Something had happened to him while living on this planet.
"You better not be lying this time Zim." Purples voice came from behind Red, a slush drink held in his hands as he slurped on it. "Not like the last time."
Zim's antennae seemed to wilt slightly, "No, no my Tallest, everything will be ready for you. Then you will see the greatness that is ZIM!"
"You better hope so for your sake Zim. The Armada will be there in two days."
The screen flickered out. They didn't know, they didn't know, was all Skoodge thought. He looked over at Dib who frowned back at him. He gave a small nod trying to let him know that they would be ready. One way or another they would have to be, if they wanted to live through this.
Another signal started coming in, an alert of sorts. This one was different and Dib went to the controls, his hands sliding over the controls and a screen popped up. Dib looked at it in disbelief then looked at Skoodge, his eyes wide with shock and a little fear.
"What is it Dib-thing? Hmmmm?" Zim asked.
Dib swallowed and then put a smile on his face. "You've won Zim, you did it! The humans have given the planet over to you."
Dib pulled it up on the screen, the message that was broadcasting on all the emergency frequencies. That the Earth was now Irken property and belonged to Invader Zim.
Skoodge's mouth almost fell open. He looked at Dib and wondered if his expression matched his. That was fast, way too fast. But, he guessed they had better move fast if the Armada was going to be here in two days. Skoodge worried that Zim might suspect something with the humans and their quick surrender, but his fears on that was quickly dispersed by Zim's reaction.
Zim just started laughing with glee, not even aware or suspecting what he and Dib had put into motion.
"FINALLY ZIM gets to show all of you what a GREAT invader he is! And ALL shall bow down to ZIM's greatness!"
Dib reached over and hugged the excited Irken, leaning forward and resting his head against Zims. Skoodge felt slightly embarrassed to watch the intimate moment as Zim let his antennae caress Dib's face and hair.
"I already knew you were." He heard Dib whisper to Zim.
The Tallest help them now, there was no going back.
