Chapter 2
Coming Back to reality.
Zim awoke feeling cold but then feeling warm then realizing Gaz was in bed with him. "Zim…you OK?" Zim looked down into Gaz's eyes, they were shinning bright to him in the darkness of the room. "Yes…lights." The lights then turned on, Zim sat up and rubbed his face. "Sleep well?" Gas asked and Zim nodded. "What happened?" Zim asked and Gas responded "Your injuries didn't have time to heal and you collasped after the announcement." Zim asked "What announcement…oh right." Zim face palmed himself and said "It's all my fault for coming there and informing them." Gaz hugged Zim "It's not your fault for doing it, it's the worlds fault for neglecting the possibility of invasion. We should have been prepared." Zim looked at Gaz and asked "Gaz I want to ask you, when you look at me do you see a handsome human, a disgusting alien, or a handsome alien?" Gaz giggled and said "All I see is Zim." she gave him a light kiss on the lips and quickly got dressed. Zim also followed and got dressed as well. As he opened the closet he saw his Irken uniform from Locker 26 now patched up. Zim was hesitant then remembered the Irken insignia necklace he still was wearing. He looked at what once was a symbol of honor, a symbol of power, a symbol of an invader, now a symbol of failure. Not his failure to conquer the planet, but a failure to protect it. He closed his eyes and clutched it in his hand. He put on his outfit and walked to an elevator at the end of the hall. Once a question raced through Zim's head: "Tallest Red dead?" Soon the doors opened and GIR flung on to Zim's leg. "MASTER BACK!" Zim almost fell down and chuckled "GIR, I know." GIR jumped off and said "Everybody waitin in the mess hall, come on!" Gir then jumped on the ceiling and hightailed it to the corner and turned into the mess hall. Gaz closed her eyes and shook her head. Zim blushed then went to the mess hall. Inside Dib and Tak sat across from each other and Raymond sitting next to Tak. Raymond looked at Zim, with the scar on his face and the cobra tattoo. "Zim, good to see your not dead." Raymond commented. Dib and Tak smiled lightly as He went to their table. Mimi then appeared and the mechanical clawed hand shot out inches from his face. "Mimi no need, he is our ally now." Mimi retracted her arm but she still glared at him with her red eyes. "Hey Zim." Dib said grabbing some water and drinking it. "You OK?" Zim moved his arms and legs "OK can be the word." Raymond then said "
Zim, I am so sorry, I didn't know Darien was willing to turn his back on the Resisty I-"
Zim raised a hand "Don't worry, I bet he did it for a good reason, I survived anyway." Raymond gritted his teeth and rasped "He was to freaking selfish to care for freeing the millions of nations under the Irken control." Then Dib rasped "I got a video feed from earth from the SEN, earth has gone to hell. These weird lizard creatures are on the planet killing off everyone, I had a dream…no a vision after I first discovered aliens and I knew I had to prevent this…I failed." Gaz walked up to him "You didn't, earth failed, they were too ignorant." Raymond asked "The lizards are Reptoids, pre-evolved dinosaurs. But why would they use them?" "Intimidation," everybody looked at Zim gazing out the window ",Dib did you see force fields in the city's with them?" Dib nodded ",intimidation. They are trying to scare earth into giving up." Dib then looked horrified "At least 3 quarters of the population will give up! At least 20 will be the SEN soldiers." Raymond asked "SEN?" Dib explained "Swollen Eyeball Network, they are my organization on earth." Raymond nodded in understanding. Gaz said "Calm down we can fix this, we have to have a plan right?" Tak nodded "Yes a plan, to stop the Armada." Zim shot Tak a glance "What made you so devoted to this operation, what happened to your loyalty to the Irken empire?" Tak said back to him "I think Black didn't die at the hands of an enemy, but an ally." Zim asked "You think there was treason?" Tak nodded "I think someone from inside the empire set it up. You know when Irkens love they are considered defective. Anybody could have put a bounty of his head just to fix it." Then a soldier came to Raymond and whispered to him. "Well this is a suprise, Darien is dead." Zim perked up "What?" Raymond repeated "Darien is dead, took a bullet through the neck. Poor bastard drowned on his own blood." Tak asked "Who was the sniper?" Raymond shook his head "Unidentified." Zim looked out the window, as the others finished up Gaz went to stand by him. "We will save earth Zim." but Zim seemed to ignore her as he looked at space but Gaz knew he was probably seeing more that it appeared to be.
