They took out Zim's other contact and they found the voice changer. They put his voice back to normal by resetting it. They took him into the minilab that the ship had, and began to make repairs to his PAK. The shorter one fixed Zim up while the taller one contacted the massive.
When the tallest appeared and they saw who it was they cried out for joy and wept. "We know its Zim. He had got shot down before we made it back to the ship. We had to carry him back," she tells them.
"We actually figured you would find out it was Zim, but we couldn't let Zim know that you know. He'll think something's up. Don't let him know you know. We just need you back home safely. He thinks you think he's dead, so you mustn't let him know you know, that it essential," Red explains.
"And because you got caught by the Resistance, you cannot travel to Earth," Purple snuffs.
"No! But we had the wrong coordinates!" the Irken female whines.
"No is no," Red puts it simply.
"But-"
"No 'butt's," Purple commands.
"Yes my Tallest," she salutes and ends the transmission. She leaves and goes into the operating room to tell her companion what the Tallest said.
Once Zim's PAK was fixed they fix his voice back and put in new contacts for him. Then they let him rest. They find snacks and once they've eaten to their desire, they fall asleep as well.
Zim wakes with a start and looks around dazed before he realizes what had happened. He looks around for his girls and is relieved to see them ok. He checks how long it would take to get to the Massive; two hours. He rests it out until he gets there.
When the ship came into port at the Massive, the Tallest welcomed 'Dax' with open arms and he was known as a hero. The girls hug him and tell him how grateful they are. "We must have a feast for you!" Purple splurges.
"A special feast that only has us the girls and you, Dax," Red adds.
Zim is the kind of Irken to never oppose a feast in his honor. So he agrees and he is brought to a special room just for him. He stays there awhile before the feast reflecting on everything that has happened because of the mission.
While Zim was in his room the Girls order some workers to get the coordinates from Zim's vootrunner and copy it so they could have a copy.
When Zim thinks more about how he acted while before the mission, the more he began to think its better for him to act like a real human being. Then it came to him and he clicked his communicator and went into one of the extras he put on it before. It's a sort of app that shows the human calendar. He opens it and he checks the date. It is exactly two weeks before skool would start.
He was then called into the feast and he put on his best pilot uniform and goes to the food room. He sits in the Hero's chair and watches with the Tallest as the Girls walk in, in their long dresses. The Taller one wears a purple dress that matches her eyes and PAK. The long sleeves come to her wrists and the dress down past her ankles. The shorter one wears a blue dress that is exactly like the other girl's. They both wear rings on their antenna, and a jewel on their head, as a sign of female royalty.
The Tallest stand and go to them Red goes to the Taller one and Purple waits behind Red.
"Den," Red addresses the short Irken girl. He hugs her and kisses her cheek. Purple hugs and kisses Den as well. And red moves to the Shorter Irken girl. "Tee," Red addresses her. They do her as they did Den and they go back to their seats.
The girls turn to Zim and squeal, "Dax," and run to him.
Zim looks over to see them glomp him and shower him with kisses. Zim smiles and hugs back. Once they settled down Zim stands and embrace each and kiss them on each cheek. He takes his seat again, and they take a seat on either side of him.
They were then severed a glorious fit for kings, they ate and talked the whole time.
"It's such a shame Zim was killed during Impending Doom 1," Den coos, her antenna drooping.
"Yes, I miss him so, I never thought I could live through another Sibling dying, like Zeema," Tee sniffles sadly.
"We never did find out who was the one controlling the ship that destroyed half of Irk," Red sneers, looking at Zim.
"Yes, if only Zim hadn't been on that side of Irk. If only he was with the Den and Tee at home, where he should have been," Zim looks guiltily at the Tallest, but plays along.
"Yes, all of the Invaders that didn't get to be in Impending Doom 1 should have left for home as soon as the assignments where given," Purple explains.
"Even me, though I should have gotten out of training that year," Den continues.
"Yaeh, she stayed to be with me, and get extra training," Tee smiles proudly.
"Thank Goodness Dax was at home," Red sighs.
"So girls, do you mind telling us what it was like in the prison?" Zim asks.
"Oh it was terrible! They didn't feed us very much," Den began.
"They broke our PAKs," Tee chimes in.
"We had no beds."
"They tortured us and shocked us," Tee went on.
"We will have to do something about this," Red looked aged.
"I'm not sure if they noticed that you two are Birth Irkens, or not," Purple sighs.
"Let's hope not," Zim drank some of his Malcha juice; a type of Irken wine. "So what happens now?"
"The girls will stay here, until further notice," Red says.
"I must be getting back to my station," Zim says referring to Earth, but making it seems like his Piloting job.
"You can leave tonight, after the feast if you want," Purple suggests.
"Of course," Zim smiles. "Now I have a question for Tee, that I've never known," Zim looks to his younger sister.
"Go on," Tee smirks.
"You have blue eyes, like a Pilot, but your PAK is red like an Invader, and your PAK DNA says you're an Invader. What's up with all of that?" Zim smiles.
Tee thinks hard for a minute before shrugging. "I have an answer for that," Red begins. "Zeema died right before Tee was born, and Zeema was a Pilot. Because of their parents being certain types of Irken they were meant to be certain types as well. Your Father," Red continues making it seem as though he is really talking to Dax and not Zim, "was an Invader Irken, and he had Red eyes. Your mother, on the other hand, was a Pilot Irken, with blue eyes."
Zim smiles and nods, taking in this new information. "Your father was a year older than your mother, so that means the children they had together would be Pilot Irken, then Invader Irken and then back to Pilot again and so on in that order," Red explained. "Of course to keep the whole natural born Irken secret we had double agents that put the babies in the tubes after they were born to the 'Tube born', so they could be assigned as well. Your parent units had a household of Pilots and Invaders, so it was complete coincidence that you were all put in the same household, while being naturally related. Is any of this getting through to you, Dax?" Red asks.
Zim nods. "Well, you were all supposed to be exactly one year apart, but when Zeema was born she was born only half a year born apart from when Zim was brought to the household, and because of this we were informed that she was a Birth Irken. Everything was fine until her early Birthing made her uncontrollably sick, and she died a day before Tee was born, so the info of her death got to the main brain the same time as Tee's Tube Birth and assignment. Because the brain knew the two were naturally related if figured that Tee was actually Zeema's only younger sister, meaning it forgot about Den and gave Tee an Invader PAK instead of her original Pilot PAK. She has the Invader assignment and DNA and some of the Pilot traits. The whole reason she is like this is because of the Main Brain messing up," Red finishes and Zim's whole mind was blown.
Zim slowly nods taking everything in, and then something clicks. "So Zim is a Birth Irken as well?" he asks.
Everyone looks at him confused. "We don't know," Purple says. "We wouldn't have known until he went through the change, but like Red said, everyone of you being in the same household and being Naturally related is a coincidence. They did have an Invader smeet after Dax and before Zeema, but that smeet might have ended up in any other Invader households there were," Purple explains.
Zim nods in understanding. "Well I really must be going back to my post. Den and Tee, I love you guys," he stands and so do they and they hug and kiss again. "My Tallest," He bows and salutes. He then leaves the room and goes to his vootrunner and starts off tword Earth.
Den and Tee, with fresh tears in their eyes, stand at attention to their Tallest.
"Listen," Den begins, "We have the coordinates," Tee holds up the disk with the coordinates on it, "can we please, go to Earth?" Den begs.
"Please? Last time we got the wrong coordinates, and we got these from Zim's ship!" Tee pleaded.
"I don't know, it's very dangerous," Red wiped the sweat from his head.
"Come one, please? The whole reason we went in the first place was to be with Zim, and now we can! Please, please, please?" Dean and Tee begged getting down on their knees.
"I don't know," Red hums.
"Oh come on Red, you know they are right," Purple explains.
"Very well," Red sighs, "but you must wait a week before going."
The girls nod and run to their room.
And Zim makes his journey back home….
