Zim POV

"So, once we have them cornered I knock out this so called Dib, and you take Gaz and the child out of there." Red said, pacing back and forth in front of me.

I nodded. "Understood."

There was a knock at the door and Red stopped pacing to face the door. He looked at me and jerked his head in the direction of the door.

I nodded again and ran to the door, opening it to come face to face with one of the guards holding a two prisoners… the beautiful Gaz… and the man named Dib.

They struggled against the hold of the guard but didn't have much success. When I opened the door they froze and looked at each other. "Quick Zim, let get out of here." Gaz said, trying to get out of the guards hold.

"My name is Jack.. and why would I want to do that? You are the prisoners." I told them.

"Who is it Jack?" Red asked from behind me.

I turned to face him, a small smile on my face. "It's your wife… and the man named Dib." I told him.

A smile spread through his face as he walked over to where I was standing, pushing me out of the way.

I tumbled over but regained my footing. I glared at him, he really shouldn't be pushing his servants around like that.

I shook it off and glared at him.

Red smiled down at Gaz and then turned to look at me. "You are useless to me now. Guards take him and the other male to the holding cells." Red said and then smiled down at Gaz. "I need to talk to my wife … alone." He said with a sinister smile.

My eyes widened. "Red-"

"It's Tallest Red to you Zim." He growled at me.

"My name is Jack!" I growled back at him.

He stepped towards me, his hand clenched into a fist as he held it up in the air.

He swung, but I trapped it in my hand just as it was a few inches away from my face. I glared at him. "I'm not going to let you push me around." I growled, I couldn't control myself, I punched his squidly-spooch and he fell to the ground.

Just as his knees hit the floor, guards surrounded me and I realized what sort of trouble I had just gotten myself into… oops.

Reds arms were grabbing at his squidly-spooch. "Execute him you fools!" He growled.

"No!" Gaz yelled.

I looked around me to see all the ray guns that were pointed at me. "Stop!" I exclaimed holding my hands up in the air.

They lowered their guns a little, but kept their guard up. "What do you think you're doing? Execute him already you idiots!" Red exclaimed.

"Don't let him push you around too! Fight back!" I yelled out to my fellow workers.

They looked at each other and then at Red. "What are you looking at? Do as you are told! Kill him! Kill him now!" Red exclaimed, fire in his eyes.

"No! His reign will end now if you agree with me, he doesn't care about us, his servants!" I yelled out, pumping my hand in the air.

One by one they dropped their guns to the ground. "His reign shall end!" one of them shouted. "He has been cruel to us for so long…" another one murmured.

"Stop it! Destroy him! Obey your leader!" Red exclaimed.

"Shut up!" one of the guards said.

Reds jaw slacked in shock. "How dare you-" he started but I interrupted him.

"I told you that I wasn't going to let you push me around… I will take your place in this kingdom… I shall be the new Irken leader." I told him as I stepped closer to him.

"Zim, come on, let's go! Leave him!" the man named Dib exclaimed as the guards let go of them.

"How many times do I have to tell you that my name is Jack! Not Zim!" I yelled at him then turned to look back at Red.

"Red… you do know how someone could be over ruled in the Irken system… right?" I asked him, a glare starting to settle.

"I'm not going to let you have my Pak! Never!" he yelled out, standing up and tackling me to the ground.

The guards knew exactly what was going on, they stepped back and watched what was going on.

I punched him and rolled us so that I was the one that had the upper hand. "If you kill the ruler by taking away their PAK, you will be the next one in line for the throne." I reminded him as I punched him one last time, knocking him out.

I got off of him and dusted myself off. I rolled him so that he was lying on his stomach and got a hold of his PAK. With a deep breath I yanked on it, ripping it away from its host.

It's tentacles shot out of the body, blood pouring out of the body and onto the floor, I stepped away from it.

The PAK had a mind of its own, the tentacles desperately trying to find its host to connect to it, the tentacles swung around like crazy causing me to drop it on the ground.

There was silence in the room.

"All hail the new Irken ruler! We shall no longer go by who is tallest… but by who is the most courageous." One of the guards said and bowed down to me, followed by all the other guards.
