Chapter 6- Tak
Planet Swaxlip
conquered by Invader Sneakyonfoota
-Massive: Central Control Chaimber - Main chaimber.
Silence…
That was all I could hear…
Pure silence and static…
It was so…
So…
I don't know…
But it was all I could hear…
"My Tallest…" started the voice… that soft, sad, horrible voice…
"Look at the stars…" it laughed. "Look at the world you conquered."
"It's funny, I never noticed how beautiful the stars are…you think anyone noticed?" asked the voice.
"Stop talking!" shouted an angered voice… the voice of one of my leaders…
"Hmph." Said the voice this time with a suffering smile on it…
"Let me ask you one last thing… it won't hurt, I promise…" it said…
The massive was quiet… pure and silent…
The entire massive was now witnessing the event… the event when the Tallest, our leaders finally told the nuisance of our race, the biggest defective…the truth about himself…
But all was silent.
Silence…
His first reaction was exactly the way we wanted it to be… we laughed about it because we all saw the pathetic face the victim made… sadness and shock molded into one…his sputtering speech and unknown sentences…
And then the thing we never expected… anger and relief…
The look of happiness in the victim's eyes…and the weak wise tone of his voice…
The entire thing took about an hour of our time… an hour of arguing of the Tallest's time…
And now this…
The one thing this little bastard planted in my mind…
Something… a scene that has been playing over and over in my mind… the thing that took away all of our joys in seeing the defective crumble…and break…
The silence… the question… the silence and the still air…the one thing that made him strong… the one thing that didn't let us see him break… that one thing… that one question…can we be..?
"Let me ask you one last thing… it won't hurt I promise…"
Silence…
"What was Zim to you?"
You…
YOU!
You're a defect, a stupid moron that ruined the empire, that ruined MY LIFE! I HATE YOU! YOU ARE SCUM- NO EXCRIMENT TO ME! TO ALL THE IRKEN EMPIRE!
"And you are a machine."
What?
"Feelings pass right through you don't they? So cold and unforgiving in every choice you made... pure machine and soldier... maybe that's what let us trust you...maybe-"
That's not true... that is not- NO! I AM NOT A DEFECT! I AM NOT A DEFECT! Calm down Tak. Breathe, Breathe!
"I don't need it…"
We all need the tallest! They are our TALLEST! YOU FOOL!
"I need you to be strong."
I am strong.
"Strong enough to do the one thing you have never done in your life."
You are a bigger fool than I ever imagined! How dare you waste the Tallest's time like this!
"Can you be strong enough to be...?"
SHUT UP.
"Can you just be human?"
I froze as he asked that question… and the world became alive again… the silence gone… and the noise…the noise… sounding.
And I reacted… how dare he… how dare you Zim…
How dare you...HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU ASK THEM TO BE LIKE THOSE HORRIBLE-
Eventually my body shook with horrible rage; it was so noticeable that some of the other drones, and guards had to stand back.
And his voice continued… quiet and sincere.
"if not for your sake then for all of us...if you could just allow yourself to feel... something... then maybe you wouldn't be a machine any longer."
Everyone on the massive stayed quiet as the screen went blank... and my rage began to surge…
the memory of having to be punished for Zim's actions… to be punished when my mission failed… to be a drone on the massive because of Zim… to be mistreated and then for him to say such a thing, filled me with a rage, a horrible, monstrous rage… an emotion well known in irkens… but then my rage turned into a strange kind of frustration… one almost like pity but…stronger…this emotion I've felt before and it is not an emotion irkens have… remorse… no… what was it called… I don't remember… but I do remember the silence that took hold of the massive again…
No laughter… no celebration… just silence…
I am scared to admit that I too saw Zim on the screen when Lard Nar was speaking, what was that little runt doing there? I remember I dropped a plate of donuts when I saw him… no one played attention to me… he looked into my eyes and I swore I felt his presence…and when I found out only Almighty Purple saw him… I did not speak… something that was…off… I feel for my tallest because they are my tallest… but I… feel…
I feel…
I want…
I want to be incredible.
I want…
I feel…
What do defects have?
They have emotions…
She is a defect…it is a truth she hides because she knows it is true…
She is a defect.
She is Tak.
Gaz: "nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable." Words by the Bard…William Shakespeare.
Okay that is all.
Oh and one more thing.
Okay, this is something I need to say to my readers
THIS IS A FACT I DO NOT OWN INVADER ZIM, WATERSHIP DOWN QUOTES, WILLIAM SHAKESPERE, QUOTES OR PLAYS AND I DEFINATETLY DO NOT OWN ANY BRAND OR MOVIE NAMES ( For example... Doritos)!
COMPRENDE?
I am TIRED of having people complain to me about that, and this rant is mostly directed to my friends! STOP SENDING ME TEXTS ABOUT THIS!
I am only using quotations, certain paragraphs and certain themes that's it! For example the story itself was inspired by watership down's quote.
"All the world will be your enemy." I thought of Zim when I was reading this the story inspired me but I'm not using any of its contents, so quit sending me emails and messages on how I'm trying to pull stuff from brands and books and other stuff. please leave me be, the contents in this story are original, the plot is original the only things that I am giving credit to is name brands, a few paragraphs that are quoted and or written (ex: Zim reading Animal Farm, I will include actual words from the book as he is reading it or from a movie when he is watching it and so on, or if I make him attend a play or something).
Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the story and my little rant. Please read and review and if somebody can give me some positive criticism, advice or any ideas for the next chapters, please review and tell me what you think. Okay phew.
OH also I've been seeing a lot of old fics that are based on movies on invader Zim that are unfinished and abandoned. I've been thinking… why not?
I want to make a fanfic with invader Zim crossed over with the movie and book coralline, the movie Kick ass or something. Just tell me what you think please. Thank you and pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase review.
The next chapter will be coming soon, I promise.
Dib: you wrote a lot.
Yes. Yes. I know.
