I'm back! And I just want to give a huge thank you to those who review, follow, and favorite this story that I didn't know would get this much praise! Your reviews, and favorites give me motivation to continue. My school's golf team is going to start soon, so forgive me if my updates are slow.
Previously: The Gems have made their first contact with Zim, who has returned to his underground base, foolishly leaving the insane robot Gir to let his intruders inside! But what of when Zim learns what these intruders are?
Zim paced around his base, thinking about his next EEVVIILL plan to eliminate the hyooman race. Zim sneered as he thought of the hundreds of ways he could prepare this pathetic planet for the coming Armada. Zim turned to his computer counsel and began to prepare for his next plan…
MEANWHILE
The Gems stared in wonder, and shock as the little green dog pulled a chain hanging from ceiling, and was flushed down the toilet.
"He's gotta teach me how to do that!" Amethyst said, staring at what she had once tried, and failed, to accomplish.
WITH ZIM AGAIN…
"Um. Master? Someone's entering the base." Zim's computer stated as he continued to type on the screen.
"Not now." Zim growled, a smile crawling across his mouth, he didn't even bother to notice the five intruders slipping down his secret entrance.
"Master?" The computer tried again, only to be ignored. Deciding to let Zim face them himself, the computer decided to just watch the upcoming fireworks…
While Zim continued to work on his next, EVILEST, most DIABOLICAL plan to eliminate the hyooman race, he didn't notice the three gems, half-gem, and hyooman, were just ending their journey into Zim's base on one of his moniters.
GEMS AGAIN…
Whatever this newcomer was, his species sure knew how to make an eerie setting, the reddish magenta, purple, and overall threatening atmosphere, sent chills up Connie's spine, she hadn't gone on many adventures with the Crystal Gems, but this wasn't Gem. Her thoughts were interrupted as the little green dog, unzipped the front of his torso, and underneath was a little grey and blue robot!
"I'm naked!" He yelled happily, had this been in a different place, Connie would have thought he was adorable, though she couldn't help thinking that –had this been a cartoon- hundreds of people would have thought he was adorable (Breaking the Forth Wall Like a Boss).
Gir led the five down the long corridors, pointing out all of "Mastah's" rooms, one of Amethyst and Steven's favorites; the simulation chamber.
"Hi Mastah!" Gir yelled excitedly, coming to a stop at one of the rooms.
"Mastah" looked exactly like Zim, and no doubt WAS Zim, but there were two notable differences.
1: Instead of normal human eyes, they were a deep magenta, and
2: In place of what possibly was a wig, two, thin, black antenna protruded from his head.
Zim stared in what was a combination of shock, fear, and anger, at his intruders. Then he sent a burning, teeth clenched glare at his, no doubt broken (seriously, the Tallest had no doubt made a mistake with this advanced Sir Unit, he would have to fix him sometime) minion.
"GIR!" Zim screamed, "YOU HAVE COMPRAMISED THE MISSION! WHY DID YOU NOT WARN ME OF THIS COMPUTER?!"
"I DID." A bored-sounding, monotonous voice answered from the base, "You just didn't listen to me."
Zim turned back at the hyoomans he thought had gone away, and noticed one defining trait, causing his eyes to widen.
Three of them had gems on at least one part of their bodies, and they were now beginning to glow.
In a poof, the three now wielded weapons, and were in a defensive stance.
The gems…
The glow…
The sudden appearance of weapons…
Zim's once shocked expression turned to curiosity, and then a wicked grin spread across his green face.
"Computer!" Zim called out, "Capture the Gems!"
