Chapter 12
Beyond Imagination
X had a habit of pacing about the Hydra whenever he needed to think. He was still pondering how they would act next when a low raking sound came from the back of the ship.
"Phantom," he ordered. "Investigate that sound."
"YES SIR!" The small robot saluted and crawled off to do so. He poked around for a moment, before determining that the noise came from outside the ship…

Slowly Phantom crept along the hull of Hydra, magnetizing his feet to keep from drifting into space. That was the last thing they needed. The SIR unit paused upon sighting a pair of small craft strapped to the side of their ship by a pair of metal clamps. Phantom's eyes flashed red and he gave out a sound akin to a low chuckle. With lightning efficiency he ran his razor-like claws over the ships, rendering them useless.
(A/N: Please let this be the last time I include a character description… Anyhow, Phantom is all black with really long, lanky arms that have dagger claws on the end)
Silently, Phantom prowled until he came across a small airlock. It had been used recently; there was still a small amount of air around it. Phantom crawled in quickly.

X continued pacing softly. He was trying to think but a new noise was interrupting his thoughts. A chilling noise, magnified and bouncing off walls, echoing through the ship…
X tensed, uncertain of what it was, but it was getting closer. Immediately he prepared for battle.
A sudden pall seemed to fill the air as the noise suddenly grew quieter, but still closer. Suddenly it clicked. Laughter. Maniacal laughter. Then, eight figures appeared. X immediately recognized the first figure.
"Irken Zim, I presume?" He asked calmly.
"Irken Invader Zim." Zim hissed. "Gir! Attack!"
Gir charged forth, eyes blazing red, X reared up, extending one of his PAK legs…
He missed. Gir ran past him and slammed into the wall he fell backwards onto his head and began to wildly dance about.
"WHEE HEE HEE HOO! WHEE HEE HE HAAAH!" The insane robot cackled. X looked quizzical.
"HI THERE!" Gir screamed.
"Oookayyy…" Was all X managed to say.
Zim sighed, facepalming. Why do I bother…? He wondered silently.
"Shast…" And that was all his demonic creation needed.
"Death on the wind!" He hissed ominously, unsheathing his claws.
X leapt back to evade the follow-up slashing flurry.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed. A sort of off-white light began to glow from him, and a voice echoed from his PAK's computer
Hypermode enabled.
X moved like a whirlwind darting ducking and punching. In a matter of seconds, everyone in Zim's group was bound tightly to chairs, except for Gir, who was:
"Dancin' like a monkey!"
"Gir! Get me outta this!" Zim ordered.
"Okeedokee!" The little robot said, and tried to untie Zim. In a matter of seconds, he was also tied up.
"YAAAY!" Gir screamed happily.
"Gir we have been captured." Skoodge said to the little robot. "Do you know what that even means!"
"Uh-huh!"
Nny cocked an eyebrow, more surprised at being captured rather than alarmed.
"You don't really do you?" He asked.
"No." Gir admitted, before screaming something about piggies.
X sighed. "I had a headache. Now it's more like a migraine."
Phantom came in then dragging a certain large headed human.
"Intruder captured."
X was interested.
"Are you with Zim, big-headed creature?" He asked.
"NO!" He shouted, shuddering. "Oh and also… MY. HEAD. IS. NOT. BIG!"
"Yes it is." Nny sang out. "You could fit a moose in there. IS THERE A MOOSEY IN YOUR HEAD?"
"Uhh, no. Not that I know of."
"Not that you know of! Exactly! How did we all get tied up anyway?"
X smirked. "Hypermode. Allows me to undergo an incredible surge of power. The only trouble is that it uses up an energy reserve that takes a little while to charge."
"Cool." Said a certain scary-looking human who appeared out of seemingly nowhere.
"H-Howdidshegetin?" Tina stammered in surprise. "Or rather, I'm assuming that it's female."
"You don't wanna know." Gaz smirked.
"Are you really fighting against the empire?" Dib asked hopefully.
"Kinda." Shadow said. "Though all we're doing is drifting at the moment."
"Great!" Dib said enthusiastically. "I can help if you want! I know… stuff."
"What kind of 'stuff'?" Havel asked suspiciously.
"Well, I know Irkens burn on contact with a common substance on my planet called water, um, most of the food we have is really bad for them…"
X listened. Then he nodded. "You can tag along if you want but-"
He was interrupted by a voice coming from the screen.
"So you really are against the Irken Empire!" An almost British sounding voice resonated from the speakers…
