As an answer to Invaderfan. Yes I am excepting OC's so please leave a description of your character in the reviews.
Since Dib's claim had nothing to do with aliens or ghosts professor Membrane actually listened to him, and with much enthusiasm too "Oh son, I knew you would come around to REAL science! It could be a father son thing, we should go investigate this rare occurrence." He said dramatically and excitedly to Dib. Membrane was also experimenting with rodents when Dib came to tell him about it. Membrane got more excited about it as he prepared things to investigate the crash. "No doubt the media would be there as well, the whole world would watch as we made history side by side." Dib didn't say it but he was more concerned about what four excitable aliens and two robots could do if they got there hands on it.
Speaking of which everyone in the aliens household noticed the terrible shaking and noise just as much a Dib did but didn't get a chance to look outside "What on Irk was that?" Tenn asked startled by what happened. Just then a news report interrupted Tak's show.
"No! Now I'll never now what happens to those Martian tripods!" Tak yelled in a distressed voice but her panic at the movie being cut was replaced by fascination when she found out what it was about. At this moment Skoodge and Zim rose through a hidden door in the ground and they all saw the report.
"Just moments ago a large flaming object fell from the Sky and has been reported that it landed just out side the city." The reporter at he desk said as they should a blurry image of the thing as it fell. "Reporters and scientist are rushing to the scene as a meteor of this size has never been recorded before and its said that even professor Membrane himself is going to the scene. He's eager to investigate this phenomenon." Tak tapped her chin in thought and a wicked smile grew as an idea came. Plenty of good minerals can be found in meteors that can't be found on planets and this system has an amazing amount of asteroids and meteors having one just fall into there lap like this was a rare opportunity.
"We must get there before the humans do!" Zim exclaimed almost like he was reading her thoughts. "Computer!"
"Whaaat?" the computer moaned irritatingly
"Get the SIR's we have another mission!" Zim ordered.
The sun was starting to set by the time the Prof. and Dib got there and reporters were everywhere swarming the car. As they got out it was just a blinding barrage of flashes and people asking questions non-stop. "What do you hope to find?"
"Will this be another great scientific discovery?"
"Why is your sons head so big?"
"Will this be dangerous?"
"Membrane rocks!"
They were a good distance from the crash site but the pillars of smoke could be seen through the trees and fire was very clear in the air. Membrane held his hands out to silence the people "People, people please enough questions for now until we discover exactly what we're dealing with."
Just then a robotic voice broke out over them "Excuse me, there has been a mistake." The crowd broke as a large man that was clearly a robot shape like a person in a suit and sunglasses. His loud, stiff, clunky footsteps punished the ground under him as he walked and behind him were Zim and the others in human disguise only they were dressed like they where the CIA or the FBI. Inside the giant robot was Gir piloting it and doing a mediocre job at it considering he was destroying the ground with each step but no one noticed this.
Membrane turned to them and crossed his arms in thought as he looked at them "And who might you be?"
"I am government man come from the government the government has sent me." Gir slurred mixing his sentences into one confusing sentence. Zim cringed in irritation under his sunglasses. Gir stomped towards next to the two membranes and then held on to the false stomach and let out a false and very dramatic laugh "Ho-ho-ho, this is not a meteor, it is an it is an experimental government weather balloon." Mimi (also in a government suit) couldn't help notice how wonderfully he was doing so far.
Dib wasn't going to stand this "There is no way that is a weather balloon!" he said pointing to the smoke over the trees.
"Duh, it's experimental!" Tenn spoke up "We were working on making breakthroughs in weather balloon technology."
"What breakthroughs can you make on a Weather balloon? There are even some people from school in the crowd." He motioned to the students that also came to see. "A lot of them know you guys! You don't look any different than normal you just put on suits!" he turned to the students "Come on! You know them they aren't government agents! It Tak, Zim, Skoodge and Tenn and that thing," he pointed to the disguised Gir "Is clearly a robot!"
Skoodge snuck some money to a police officer behind him and whispered to him "He's lying," then he gave him a twenty "and he's also crazy." The police officer gladly accepted it then walked past him.
"This boy is crazy take him away before someone gets hurt." Several police officers tackled Dib.
"Perhaps I could assist you in retrieving this weather balloon."The Professor offered "I could help you improve the designs even."
"Your resistance will be noted!" Zim screamed unnecessarily before Tak pushed him away.
"That won't be necessary Prof. Membrane," Tak said in a calm and official manner "We can handle this." The fake government agents told the crowd to go home and they did as told, despite being very disappointed. The professor got the police to release Dib and glared at them as Tak waved happily to him as he left.
"Good-bye Dib! See you at school!"
"Hey wait she just said she knows me from school! Hey wait! Its proof this is fake!" he yelled to the people as they left but they ignored him. The Irkens left him wanting to tear his hair out in frustration as they went to the site.
When they were far enough away from them Gir jumped out of the robots mouth "Yay! I'm vomit!" he yelled in joy and Mimi laughed with amusement.
"Gir was impressive earlier." Skoodge commented as they continued
"It won't last." Tak answered quickly and honestly.
Tenn commented on how she saw him bribe the police behind his back. Skoodge was proud of it and Mimi said that she loved the suits "I feel totally like an MIB agent in this."
They finally made it to the large crater and it was unbelievably massive maybe a football stadium and a half or more. But the thing they came for, when the looked down, there was nothing, absolutely nothing. "Hey what is this where is the space rock!" Zim exclaimed saying what everyone was wondering… well except for Gir.
Then something dawned on Skoodge "Aw man!" he yelled out and everyone turned to him to see what was wrong "I lost monies for nothing!"
Tak slumped and let out a heavy sigh "And these suits weren't cheap to make either" Tak stood up and composed herself crossing her arms in irritation "… well this is another stunning failure. We've been here for three weeks and accomplished nothing…. Let's head home…" she turned around and headed back.
There were a few minutes of awkward silence before Tenn spoke up "You did good work on the suits though, Tak."
"…Thanks…" she droned.
A few days had passed since the event and they were back at school. Tak was wearing another of her custom clothing, her being the kind to not care too much for what humans had to offer at prices she couldn't pay. It had a striking resemblance to her invader uniform to the point you could barley tell. It was the same shirt with the tail- coat like design and was the same color of black and purple stripes. The difference was that it had half of the Irken symbol in a pink circle on her chest and the shoulder spikes were gone. Also the sleeves weren't the same color as the rest of the shirt and were pink and black striped. She wore black jeans and kept her favorite steel toed boots.
She kind of liked her old uniform but this humanized version she liked more and the best part was that it was practically the same thing. She was in her first class of the day and Kim and Tak were whispering a conversation to each other as the class went on. "So what happened with your brothers?"
"Eh, they were being stupid as always and got themselves hurt building something."
"Ouch,"
"Yeah," She snorted trying hold in a laugh "They looked like a building fall on them. I told them to be carful."
The two found some humor in this. Kim thought it was typical for men to not take a women's advice on things like that. "Oh, by the way," Kim started remembering something "afterwards you were acting weird."
"Afterwards? I never saw you after that."
"Yes you did, don't you remember? I also never expected you to be a brunette." Brunette? What's she talking about? Suddenly two pieces of writing chalk was thrown at their heads.
"No talking in my class or you'll get two weeks detention!" Mr. Stan snapped at them. They both sat up straight looking straight ahead.
"Yes sir!" they both said at the same time
Tak was mulling over that weird conversation for the rest of the day but couldn't figure it out. There can't be a human on this world that actually looks like her can there? And she never went to visit Kim again the rest of the day, even if she forgot about it somehow the information would have been stored in her PAK. She checked it out in private in the girl's bathroom and no memory existed. What was going on? First a huge meteor just vanishes with only a giant smoking crater to even prove it was even there and now Kim saying she saw someone that looks like her. The two couldn't possibly be connected but it was just weird. She couldn't believe she was actually thinking this but when it came to the illogical only two people were better at it than anyone else. Gir wasn't smart enough to give a straight answer and the only other option made sick "I need to find Zim."
It was passing period and nearly the middle of the day. Zim was heading to that old, cruel, but very wise Ms. Bitters when he ran into Tak, he noticed she looked different somehow. Her eyes bore one him in a way that wasn't the usual contempt but like she was looking through him with bored eyes like someone looking at an animal in a zoo. She folded her hands in front of her and gave an apologetic bow "Forgive me I was not aware of you being there." Her voice was more calm than normal too and she was speaking perfect English, no accent at all. Also, what was with the bowing? Don't get him wrong we was pleased she bowed to him but there was something really weird and off about it.
"Uumm, you're forgiven?" he wasn't sure what to say. She stayed in that same position for a while even though he forgave her she didn't stand back up straight. She just stayed unmoving even as everyone else walked around her some people looked at them as they walked by and other stopped to see what was happening. Zim stayed unmoving in curiosity and shock his eyes shifting from her to the people staring and back to her again. Then without a word she stood up straight with not a single bit of emotion on her face except for those bored eyes. Then she turned and walked away "Ooookay." Zim said slowly and turned the way he came and started to walk faster than normal.
Tak found Zim running down the hall the looking panicked. She took a deep breath while mentally preparing to hear any gloating that might come next "Hey Zim!" She called to him and he stopped as he passed her and turned around.
"Do you wish to bow to Zim again Tak-beast?" This angered Tak to no end
"Why would I bow to you? You egotistical moron! Forget this I'll figure it out without you!"
Tak stormed off leaving Zim very confused. Didn't she just bow to Zim earlier? She had no problem then and now she wants to kill him for mentioning it.
Mimi and Gir were goofing off in an empty hallway showing each other things they thought were cool. Mimi was showing Gir some magic tricks "Okay Gir this is a really easy one." She said "I'm going to take my own finger off and it will still be functional."
"Oooh." Gir said in awe of what would happen. She did the old finger trick and had the "finger" move in her hand. Gir screamed with glee and applauded her as she reattached her finger. Gir took this moment to show her a trick he swallowed his own arm entirely and Mimi looked with awe and a little concern. She heard a weird rumbling sound coming from Gir and he let out an impressive belch and his arm came flying out and reattached instantly.
Mimi laughed with joy and clapped her hands "That was awesome! That trick just blew me out of the water!" That's when they heard the sound of small bells behind Mimi. They turned around to see Tak standing still and quiet looking down at them.
"Oh hello mistress, did you want something?"
She knelt down to them and looked at them with dull eyes "I wish to give something." She answered coolly.
Mimi gave a questionable look "Really? I haven't known you to be the giving type of person."
Her face remained unchanged but asked simply "Whatever do you mean?"
"Well you don't usually give something unless there's a trick or some catch to it."
"There is no catch, just have it." This was so out of character for her mistress and she never wore tiny bells on her wrist before.
She gave Mimi a weird wad of dried glue with stick coming out of it and a coin in the center "Uh, thanks?"
She gave the slightest of smiles that you would have to pay good attention to ever notice "Now you can have fun wherever." Gir cheered happily and took it from Mimi. Tak silently got up and walked off without a word. This is disturbing; my mistress has gone off the deep end.
Tak wandered the hallways still fuming over what Zim said. How dare he? After all she was actually going to ask for his help. Tenn and Skoodge ran up behind her, her anger made oblivious to the fact they were coming "Hey Tak we need to talk." Skoodge told her
"What?"
"We've been hearing stories about you. Are you okay?" Tenn asked
"What are you talking about?"
"We heard that you bowed to Zim first of all,"
"What!" She'll kill Zim for this!
"And when you did you wouldn't get back up for about a two minutes."
"I don't care what Zim has said it isn't true! I'll kill him!"
"This was from everyone else; Zim didn't say a thing about it." This was weird, it was something else Tak didn't remember doing and only a few minutes has passed since then.
"Mimi told us that you came almost out of nowhere and gave them a weird clump of dried glue with junk stuck to it." Tak hadn't even seen them since she left with them for school. Was it the doppelganger?
"Which way was I going last?" they both shrugged. Then another idea came "Where is Mimi and Gir?" they led her down to them in the empty halls near the cafeteria.
Dib noticed on their way down that it looked like they were up to something and he secretly followed them. He was now hiding in a trashcan at the end of the hall. He listened as Tak asked Mimi a question that confused everyone "Mimi, I'm looking for myself." There were a few moments of silence from everyone.
"Wow mistress, that sounds so profound. Have you considered meditation?"
"No I mean I'm looking for someone that looks like me. Where did you see me go after I gave you whatever it was?"
"Don't you remember? You were heading towards the gym." Tak took off as fast as possible in the direction of the gym hoping that the imposter would be there by the time she made it. Dib was interested in this mystery as well but waited till the others decided to follow Tak and see what was happening.
When Tak made it into the Gym a tall brown haired girl stood in the center looking around with her back turned to Tak "Hey you!" Tak yelled and the girl turned to her. To Tak's surprise it did look almost exactly like Tak but she was different enough to tell it was someone else. It was at this moment the others came in.
"Holy duplicates! Twins!" Mimi exclaimed with shock clear in her voice. Tak walked up to the imposter that just stared at the with blank glazed over eyes and turned to face them.
"Who did you mix me up with her?" she demanded "Look at her," she gestured to the girl "Our color scheme is completely different for starters!" this Tak look-alike had the same kind of hair only it was brown and she had amber eyes. The outfit was similar to Tak's but instead of it looking almost like a tailcoat it was shaped more like a battle dress, although it was striped in a light brown and black. "The biggest give away of all is the color scheme! Purple," She motioned to herself and then to the brown look alike "Brown. Plus she wears two small bells wrapped around her wrist. Why would I do that and- are you sleeping with your eyes open?" she asked noticing that the girl that just stood there unblinkingly.
"No, I'm awake." She answered.
"What's your name anyways?" Tenn asked
"It is Prison Lord Jou"
"Prison Lord?" Skoodge exclaimed. Tak jumped back from her and took a fighting stance and aiming her PAK legs at her for good measure.
"She's Irken!" Tak seethed with new hostility. Everyone tensed up ready for a fight and the small shield formed around Mimi's mouth as she readied for a fight. Jou just stood there stone faced and put a single finger over her mouth.
"Shh, it's a secret though." To who? Mimi wondered. She jumped back surprisingly fast dodging a blast from Tak's PAK legs but her face remained unexpressive even in the face of danger.
Tak and the others deactivated their disguises certain they were safe to do this since no one else but them would be in there for a while. Her unexpressive, dull, glazed over eyes went to each of them "Then it is almost certain… that you would be Irkens." Did she just figure that out or is she messing with us? Skoodge wondered. She pulled out a small metal item about the size of a small twig from her pocket and tossed casually into the air. It glowed for a few seconds, almost like a flash from a camera and a long spear like the ones that the guards from Judgmentia had. Dib looked from behind the safety of the door and quickly pull out a camera and started to take pictures.
Jou swung the weapon like someone swinging a bat and a wide red beam came rushing at Tenn and Skoodge. They ran off to the side narrowly missing it and cut the doors neatly in half. Dib lay on the floor breathing heavily narrowly avoiding getting chopped in half. Tak lunged at Jou and without even looking Jou smacked her away with the weapon. Mimi ran at full speed at Jou and she twirled like she was dancing and moved out of the way "olé." She said raising her hands over her head as Mimi crashed into the wall and through it.
Tak was really getting irritated with her. Jou's face was so calm and expressionless you couldn't tell what she was going to do or even what she's thinking. It irritated her because she was acting weird and she had her face, every time she did something weird all she saw was herself doing it. It irritated her because She, Tenn, Skoodge and even Zim were all trained as Irken elites and Jou was kicking their butts and she wasn't even trying. "Die!" She fired rapidly from her spider legs at Jou. Jou spun her weapon in her hand and the started spinning herself on one foot. The result was her deflecting each shot as it happened and the shots wildly bouncing all over the place. Gir was running around screaming trying not to get shot and Tenn and Skoodge were trying to avoid the shots too. Tak tried a different tactic noticing that it wasn't working. The beams connected to each PAK in an ominous green glow than all at once she unleashed not just a tiny single shot but it was like a laser cannon being shot out of her PAK. There was no way to block this one! Jou didn't even make an attempt to get out of the way and it hit her and blew an amazing hole in the wall.
There was nothing left of her once that one blast hit. Tak grinned a toothy grin at the destruction of her enemy "Yes!" She raised a fist in the air "Take that Prison Lord Jou." Just then she heard the sound of small bells ringing behind her and a voice whispered to her.
"Are you wanting to give me back?" and then the harsh impact of metal hit the side of her head. Tak slid hard on the floor till she lay on the threshold of the exit.
The next thing she saw when she opened her eyes was "Dib? You're here too." She said with her thinking a little fuzzy and then it dawned on her. She quickly sat up "Dib you're here!" She shot up on her feet and pulled him up too "You may have fought and beaten us but the Prison Lord is far too dangerous!" She ran down the hallway, turning on her disguise and half dragging Dib by his hand "We need to leave!"
"Why does it seem like she's after all of you?"
"No time!" She insisted.
Jou didn't take notice of Tak retreating with Dib and was too preoccupied with the others. Tenn had Irken pistols in both hand trying to get at least one shot to land but Jou's weapon was just too hard to get by. She was deflecting each shot just by spinning the thing. Mimi tried to attack from behind but Jou flipped behind her and smacked her and the back of the head with the flat end of blade. Meanwhile in another part of the school Gaz and Zim were in class together Zim sitting in the front looking like he was paying attention but in reality was off daydreaming and Gaz sitting in the back playing her game while hiding it under the desk. They both were shaken out of there distractions from hearing rumbling sounds from below and what sounded like someone tearing apart a piece of the school.
It sounded like a war was going on but everyone other than the two ignored it. Gaz opened one eye looking at Zim questioningly and Zim looked back and shrugged. Suddenly a stray red shot from obvious alien weaponry burst through the floor and burned a hold through part of Zim's wig and a small portion of his desk bounced off one of the lights and hit Gaz's desk.
Gaz's face contorted in a look of horror and started to breathe heavily she held up her Game Slave, now melted into two pieces, and her hands clenched into fists as she held onto her destroyed and most treasured game. The room seemed to be filled with a terrible sense of grief and danger and the room seemed to get darker "Let it be known that from this day, until the end of the day, no one will hear your screams of mercy as I tear out your GAME KILLING HEART!" She yelled as her eye started to twitch.
The fight left from the now totaled gym and into the halls. Skoodge had blood gushing from his forehead and blinded him in one eye. Mimi had a broken eye and was severally dented but stood in front of Gir that was hiding in a corner. Tenn was bruised and bleeding too but stood ready to fight some more with Skoodge and Mimi. They wondered only for a second where Tak and Zim were but put most of their attention to the Prison lord. Speaking of the Lord The managed to get a few good hits in as well and had a swollen eye and a few cuts on her face but was fairly good condition considering there state of her enemy's bodies. The small armored shield that covered Mimi's mouth came down When Mimi got an idea "Gir, give the brown lady a hug! She wants one." Like a charm it worked Gir's panic gave way to joy as he squealed with happiness and ran to Jou with open arms. Jou's face remained nearly unreadable but the faintest look of curiosity could be seen on her face. She bent down to get eye level with the approaching robot.
"Someone needs a hug!" Jou opened her arms out actually welcoming it and gave the robot a hug. Then out of nowhere a hammer came flying and conked Jou on the head. She let go of Gir and fell backwards apparently unconscious. The other three turned to see Tak standing next to Dib smirking.
"Great shot Dib."
"Thank you." Out of the corner of his eye he saw a baseball bat come right for his head and he managed to duck in time before it hit. The bat left a massive dent in a locker and nearly knocked it off its hinges.
"An excellent shot Gaz-human." Zim said. Gaz just growled in response as she grabbed Dib by his collar and lifted him to eye level.
"You and your stupid friends ruined my game! You are going to give me money to buy a new one or I'll make you wish that I was never born." He looked straight into those angry eyes and saw only death and pain. Dib fished around in his pockets quickly and desperately hoping that he had the money at that very moment.
His heart sank "I don't have it." Gaz's hand clenched tighter one the bat and she gritted her teeth in anger "Wait-wait-wait! I can pay you back when we get home- I swear!" She let go of Dib offering a final warning.
"You better or you may not have an ass to sit on." Just then Jou sat back up they all stared at her and she stared back blinking as if trying to figure something out. Then she clutched her forehead her face showing slight signs of pain.
"That hurt!" What kind of a reaction time was that? Mimi wondered. Jou staggered up to her feet "You Empire loyalists will not take me in."
"Say what?" Skoodge blurted out
"Kyaa!" a scream was heard as a row of lockers exploded. Dust was kicked up in the air and blinded everyone for a few minutes as it cleared a girl stood beside Jou with a proud and confident grin. She had short green hair, and dressed in an orange jacket and black shirt and jean pants. She had red goggles on the top of her head. "Irken scum! Prepare to be defeated by the combined power of former prison lord Jou and Vixen!" when she talked they could clearly see one of her canine teeth was bigger and sharper looking than the others. The thoughts running through everyone's heads was the same thing: What the heck is going on?
"Isn't it kind of late for an introduction like that?" Dib asked.
"How rude! I got lost on my way here and you go and insult me!"
"What do you mean 'Former prison lord'?" Zim asked
The odd girl called Vixen pointed accusingly at them "Don't play dumb! An order was given out to kill some defective bloodlines and she turned out to be related to an Irken named Tak." Before anything else could be done the fire alarm went off and Vixen noticed the fear in Tak and the other Irkens faces then the sprinklers went off and the Irkens screamed in pain and even noticed that Jou was in pain too. She noticed that she was perfectly fine and so were the two humans. The Irkens saw she was perfectly fine.
"You're not Irken?" Skoodge exclaimed.
"Forget that!" Tak screamed through the pain "Turn on your disguises and run! This is unbearable and authorities will come" A grin formed on Vixens face and she walked over to the happily grinning a toothed grin showing off her almost normal teeth except for that one fang she had.
"I'll make a deal with you." She said "I can get you out of here quickly but I want something from all of you. You don't seem like you know a lot of what's happening, so what I want is who you are, what you're doing here and in return I'll get you out home free and even explain what we're doing here, deal?"
"Fine! Whatever! Just help!" Tak screamed It hurt too much to think.
"No way they're vulnerable we can prove that aliens exist! Would you turn in your own kind?" Dib yelled at Vixen.
"First off I'm not human and secondly who cares?" She pulled out a small marble sized item from her pocket "Leave no evidence!" she screamed as she threw it on the ground and a small explosion happened and they strange girl, Mimi, Gir and the Irkens disappeared.
Gaz walked off to an exist muttering "That was anti-climactic."
End! (Of this chapter at least) new characters. Jou and Vixen. What is there connection? If she isn't Irken why is she helping Jou? What race is she? When will Dib realize that it's not what he thinks? I won't tell you because that would spoil the next chapter. Also as stated Yes I will be excepting OC's. name other characters you would like to see on here.
