Sorry every one! My friend posted this thing up for me and it wasn't finished. So I did a few changes and put in a few more details and such, just basically edited it.

So as a reminder

I do not own invader Zim or animal farm, or watership down or any other thing. The only things I own are just a few restaurant names and a character that is going to appear later. And if the restaurants exist, please tell me! I would love to know a place called Wok and Roll! A-hem.

Back to story


Almighty Tallest Purple: "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself." words written by George Orwell.


Chapter 8 the scientist.

"You know you can hear me you tyrants! We are tired of having to slave ourselves off for you! We are tired of being degraded, paying your taxes, losing our homes and our families because of all of you! I want freedom, I want justice, I want independence!"

The crowd of various aliens cheered at Lard Nar's little speech.

Up on the massive, there were others that were not enjoying it as much. In fact they hated it.

"That little son of a homba!" growled Red in pure rage, causing the navigators to stare at him a little.

"Sorry, please excuse my bad language- SOME ONE, get me some donuts!" cried out Red. this was a complicated situation, a tight spot.

Vort was going into a revolution, and planet Meekrob has officially declared war on the Irken Empire and established an alliance with the Resisty.

This was not good.

And worst of all, almighty tallest Purple was suffering from a few possible hallucinations or was just too stressed out to actually work.

"What else can go wrong?" groaned the crimson tallest rubbing his temples.

"MY TALLEST NO!" cried a navigator.

-KA- DooSH!-

"What was that?" asked the crimson tallest.

"An escape pod just exploded... and there were snacks in there." said a navigator a little depressed on the situation. Hey, snacks are snacks, and snacks taste good.

Red sighed in agony "oh sweet robot arm of dookie! What are we supposed to do with these people? The more wait the stronger they get. If they are not put under control soon, the others might get the same bright idea and soon every invaded planet will rise against the irken empire!" growled the cardinal tallest.

"No, I shouldn't think that way, no one will dare attack the massive!" said the crimson tallest, regaining confidence...for about a second.

"Oh good grief, SOMEBODY GET THE DONUTS!" he groaned.


-medical bay

almighty tallest Purple lay asleep in the bed he was placed in, not really paying attention to the world around him...all was dark and all was quiet for now...

"My tallest...look at the stars."

Huh?

"My tallest... look at the world you conquered... it's funny I never noticed how beautiful it looked... you think anyone noticed?" asked a voice.

Purple immediately shot up and looked around the room. It was a still room with a window showing the world outside. The world which the irkens betrayed and conquered.

Planet Vort...

Home of the Resisty and the universes most comfortable couch... well... the galaxy's at least...

Purple looked outside to the world that the irkens conquered... it was beautiful... the once bountiful planet glowed a nice bright blue.

One could see the continents it had and the lights of the vortian cities and such.

"My tallest?" asked the voice again. "Do you see it? Do you see the world?"

Purple then felt a surging pain. His ocular implants failed him, causing his vision to blur. "Ugh!" he hissed.

Purple closed his eyes and let his PAK run diagnostics...suddenly something flashed on...

Be Human

Purple gasped, his eyes widening in fear.

"My tallest are you alright?" asked a new voice... this one didn't sound distant. Who was it?

Purple whipped around to see a small medical drone standing nearby.

"You should be resting my tallest." said the small drone, voice stern yet full of worry.

"I'm fine, just a little hungry... I want some donuts." pouted the orchid tallest, his eyes full of sorrow at not having any nice donuts to munch on.

"Very well my tallest." said the little medical drone walking out of the medical bay.

Once gone, Purple took off his fake pout and sighed...he felt something warm in his chest again and this time... it seemed to be a little stronger.

although shocked and shaken, Purple then turned to the window again, this time he saw something in its view that was rather... odd...it was rather fuzzy... hard to see...

But he knew what it was.

it was Zim... laying asleep on a table... nearby he could see a few figures... some tall... some small... and Zim in the middle of it all.

In an instant Zim woke up and looked at his tallest and mouthed the two words that have haunted him.

BE HUMAN.

And once again the world that the irkens had conquered appeared... now brighter than ever.

"We must not fall into the Irken Empire; we must not allow them to continue in their ways! We must allow freedom! LONG LIVE THE RISISTY!" echoed Lard Nar's voice from a screen, the crowd that was present at the time cheering.

All soon faded to silence for Purple... just silence, dust and echoes.

"What on irk is going on?" groaned the violet tallest placing his face in his hands... frustrated...


"..." Zim looked around a little. He was still a little drowsy from his sleep... he swore he felt some thing... or someone staring at him as he slept...

Something that hated him...but at the same time... was amazed by him...

The one thing Zim knew for sure of course was... that it was familiar...

What time was it? And more importantly was he dreaming again?

"Look, look, it was just a mistake! Please just give me another chance ok? I swear nothing else has gotten into his programming. Nothing at all! Just the Rosetta Stone program! Just that! Please don't take my balls!" screamed Dib.

"and what about him crying himself to sleep huh? Only smeets do that! You did something to him!"

Where those two still arguing?

"what are smeets?"

"never mind you stoopid hyuuman, and don't change the subject!" growled Skoodge.

Zim rarely heard Skoodge growl, he was always such a passive and mellow irken, rarely displaying any form of major annoyance or anger... this must have been a bad situation...

"please! Just give me another chance!" cried Dib scrambling around the floor as Skoodge advanced.

Zim's antennae suddenly quirked when Skoodge growled, "fine, Just make sure that he's okay and that he starts talking normally again!"

Typical... Skoodge was more likely to give chances. probably because Skoodge actually hated work and didn't want to fix the problem on his own.

Zim smiled when he heard Dib squeal nervously, it was a funny little high pitched sound that would probably make any living creature snicker if it could.

"anyways do the words "Quando il gioco è finito, il re e pedone andare nella stessa scatola" mean anything to you?" asked Dib scrambling onto a desk and quickly typing away at a computer.

"not really, how'd you know it all?" asked Skoodge eyeing Dib suspiciously.

"I recorded it. See?" said Dib pointing to the third computer on his right, which played a video of Zim waking up.

"what the irk does it mean anyway?" huffed Skoodge a little annoyed at the human for not being a little more useful.

"uhhhhh..." Dib still a little shaken, typed away on his computer nervously.

"I- it means... when the game is over, both the king and the pawn go in the same box... what is that supposed to mean?" asked Dib turning to Skoodge.

the other irken stood still, his face scrunching a little as if in deep thought.

"I don't know what that's supposed to mean." said Skoodge a little disappointed.

"well, I don't know either, why Zim said it in the first place is what we need to find out." said Dib turning back to his computer, opening a few files and typing in information.

"ciao?" called out Zim.

"did you say something?" asked Dib turning away from a computer, Skoodge shook his head 'no'.

"then?" Dib was then interrupted by another noise.

"Skoodge? Dib? qualcuno può sentirmi?" said Zim a little louder now so the others could pay attention to him.

Dib and Skoodge were still staring at each other, blank expressions on their faces.

The two suddenly perked up and recognized the voice.

"ZIM!" they both shouted, turning their attention to the tired irken that was sitting up on the table.

"Zim you son of a embleer jalang!" shouted Skoodge at Zim, causing Dib to stare at him with much confusion.

"what?" asked Dib.

" Zim, aku akan membunuhmu sialan!" shouted Skoodge raising his fist in a fit of fury, completly ignoring the now annoyed and confused human.

' it must be the native irken language.' Thought Dib, 'good thing I'm recording this.'

"che cosa? Come ti permetti!"shouted Zim at Skoodge. As if he would understand.

Translation: :WHAT? How dare you!

(AN- guys, because I am having a little trouble with the language of irk, I'm using a little of lapine language, and some minor Japanese, and mostly Indonesian for the irken language. I call it lapindoneese! I know it's not very creative, but hey, might as well use the knowledge that I have acquired?)

"saya tidak tahu apa yang kita berteriak tentang!" shouted Skoodge severely confused.

Translation: I don't know what we're yelling about!

"ho detto 'Come ti permetti!' comunque, non voi urlare contro di me il braccio del robot è il mio braccio robot va bene?" cried Zim angrily not really realizing that he was talking in a different language that was not really understandable to most at the moment.

Translation: I said 'how dare you!' and don't YOU yell at me, my robot arm is your robot arm okay?

"SHUT UP!" Growled Dib, who was annoyed at the moment. "What the heck is going on?"

"shut up I'm scolding this moron!" hissed Skoodge pointing at the irken who was now standing on the table.

"Idiota? idiota? sei l'idiota! IDIOTA!" shouted Zim now angry at his good friend.

"again, I don't know what we're yelling about! Talk normally!" cried Skoodge waving his arms in frustration.

Zim growled angrily, he was starting to get annoyed with his old academy chum and friend. what was he talking about? Zim was talking normally. And worst of all why was the almighty Zim stuck in an inferior, filthy human lab? surely irken technology would have- oh wait that's right the house was going into lock down.

immediately Zim came to that realization and slapped his forehead.

"Cosa stai ... che? che cosa è questo? Perché sto parlando in questo modo? cosa è successo?" said Zim now a little freaked out on the situation.

Translation: what are you... wait, what the? what is this? why am I talking like this? what happened?

Zim was starting to panic a little. Something must have happened to his PAK, something was definitely off... some new program must have been installed or deleted or damaged.

Zim then closed his eyes and started going through his memory drive. Every little thing he went through.

His memory, his dreams, his heart. His entire programming which was seen as unique.

"Zim?" asked Dib.

"He's processing again. Wait..." said Skoodge.

Zim then started to look a little sick...

"no ... NO ... il sogno ... si ... Miyuki ... mia bella ... ho amata ... Ho amato il sogno" he mumbled, he looked rather heartbroken and then a little relieved. he felt sad because he left the dream... the beautiful dream and Miyuki...the beauty... he loved it... he loved the dream. Even if he did not know how to love in the first place... that is the beauty of being a defect... you can love something... even if it isn't real. Every little thing can eventually love in its own way...

Zim loved the dream...

Zim then began to think... he wasn't paying attention to Skoodge... he was paying attention to Spork and Miyuki who were clear in Zim's mind.

He was looking into himself and eventually he found his former tallest.

"Zim-roo... what's wrong?" asked Spork, his emerald eyes twinkling a little in the light.

" I don't know..." said Zim a little frustrated...

"Zim... this world...I promise you... it is wonderful...you just need to overcome its insanity... you know what to do about the people...we all deserve to be free... you are unique." said Miyuki.

"I know what I have to do..." said Zim looking down.

Without noticing Zim then started to talk out loud, this time in plain English, the program must have been reset.

"I do... but the dream itself..." he sighed "was the most wonderful thing Zim has ever experienced... it disappoints Zim to have to leave it."

Then Zim's thoughts were interrupted by an annoying voice.

"finally you can talk English" said the annoying voice.

Zim looked up and then frowned a little, he really hated that voice.

"silence Dib." He growled.

"are you okay Zim?" asked Skoodge.

"a little out of place, but Zim is functioning at least, perché?" asked Zim rubbing his eyes a little, and frowning over the fact that Italian was now in his vocabulary.

What was Italian anyway? must be some stupid human language.

"good, because this is going to hurt like a mother." Said Skoodge raising his fist and smacking Zim square in the head right between his antennae.

and it hurt.

"you stoopid moron! You know how much you scared the living hraka out of me, Gir and Minimoose?" Skoodge shouted standing on his spider legs so he could look into Zim's stunned and watery eyes.

-Upstairs

"puuu pchuuu! Hehehehehehee! I like explody!" cried Gir happily as he and Gaz were playing a violet shooter game.

Apparently for the past few hours all Gir cared about was beating a very powerful foe...

"GRRRRR! NO Fair! someone is shouting! ugh! You are SO not getting me this time." Growled Gaz

-EXPLOOY-

"..."

Gir and Gaz just stared at Minimoose who was sitting on the couch with a controller in his stubby little paws.

"NYA!" he cried happily.

"I DEMAND A REMACH!" cried Gir throwing his remote at the little moose.

"HEY! Don't throw that it's expensive!" cried Gaz

-Back in le lab

"huh? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? HUH? ANSWER ME!"screamed Skoodge at the top of his lungs, grabbing Zim by the shoulders and shaking Zim to the point where his ocular implants almost popped out of his head.

"Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-I-I-I-I-I-I-M-MMM-M-M-M I-I-I-IZ S-S-S-S-S-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-R-R-R-R-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!" Said Zim as best as he could through his clattering teeth, and with a great amount of difficulty. It was hard for him to apologize sometimes.

"SORRY? You almost achieved suicide you stoopid OROKANA!" shouted Skoodge.

"Zim already knows, that he has much to live for now, what Zim did was no excuse, it is dishonorable, Zim is SORRY! NOW STOP INSULTING ZIM!" growled Zim rather annoyed.

"what were you thinking?" asked Skoodge.

"...when it was over, all Zim could think about was how much of a failure Zim was...how Zim was so blind to the oblivious, I knew that it was true but Zim denied it... so if everyone hates me... then no one will miss Zim if he dies yes? Zim has no true purpose..." said Zim rather quietly.

"no one hates you! We are both defectives! defectives that have been banished!" cried Skoodge.

"they hate you because you are short and ugly just as Zim is Skoodge. Your faulty PAK had nothing to do with it, at least you don't act like a defective, and when you do it is not as noticeable as my actions." Said Zim.

" it doesn't matter I still am! And no one hates you!" said Skoodge.

"oh really? Dib hates me, my own race hates me, my leaders hate me, the other hyuumans hate me, THE ENTIRE WORLD IS MY ENEMY SKOODGE!" Said Zim now angry. " and deep down I know that even my SIR unit hates me! MY OWN SIR UNIT!"

"Gir does not hate you!" said Skoodge a little stern one of his antennas twitching in anger and annoyance as he got of his spider legs and landed softly on the tile floor.

"doesn't he?" said Zim "he tried to kill me when he was in his serious mode, and even told me that I was stoopid and that he did not like me... he hates me... You all HATE me!"cried Zim in a fit of fury.

Dib, who was just standing there, suddenly felt a tight ball in his stomach. There was trouble.

"Then why the hell did we all try to help you then you FOOL! You are better than that Zim! You dumb moron!" cried Skoodge.

"Well too bad Skoodge, Zim is a defect! Besides I already know what to do, so stay out of Zim's way!" growled the smaller irken

Dib then felt the feeling intensify.

"Uh guys?" he said trying to interrupt the dueling irkens.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" shouted Skoodge

"Uhm guys?" said Dib trying to interrupt again.

"Oh SHUT UP hyuuman this is between me and suicidal Tim here!" hissed Skoodge pointing up at Zim who was standing on the table.

"WHO IS THIS TIM YOU SPEAK OF? WHO IS HE! ZIM DEMANDS TO KNOW!" shouted Zim.

"SHUT UP YOU OROKANA!" shouted Skoodge.

"ZIM IS NOT STOOPID!" cried Zim at the top of his lungs.

(AN- I would just like everyone to know that I, as author, have decided to give Zim a few simple organs... irkens in this story have two lungs (peparu) , a heart (goocoro), reddish pinkish blood (blood or darah, jv said that's how irken blood looks like, look it up and also, humans have Red blood due to oxygen, so on earth, Zim has reddish pink blood.) the squeedly spooch (I think it replaces the stomach and the intestinal systems) and such, I will not name anymore because A. I am uncomfortable naming certain organs or B. I just don't have the creativity to make up organ names right now.)

"What?" asked Dib tilting his head. this situation was confusing.

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" shouted Skoodge, pointing at Dib who was surprised and confused still, and turned back to Zim " YOU ARE STOOPID ZIM! STOOPID, STOOPID STOOOOOOOOPID!"

"I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?" shouted Zim.

"That… that was horrible!" said Dib.

"That was…anyways. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" shouted Skoodge.

"ZIM MAY BE AN IDIOT, SKOODGE, BUT ZIM IS NOT ONE THING AND THAT IS AN IDIOT!" shouted Zim rather proudly...

"..."

"..."

no one spoke for about two seconds. Dib on the other hand was trying really hard not to burst into laughter, which probably wouldn't be the best action to take given the circumstances.

Zim's face suddenly went blank.

"wait." he said lifting his finger and letting an antenna fall in question.

"YOU ARE STOOPID! THIS IS LIKE TALKING TO SMEET!" Hissed Skoodge pulling his antennae.

"ZIM IS NO SMEET!" shouted Zim.

"SILENCE!"

The entire room froze as the trio glanced up to the lab's main entrance.

There standing with all her fury, was Gaz.

Her eye twitching, threatening to take life if possible.

"Your screaming is disturbing the peace, your voices enrage me and I have had enough of it, so I suggest that you boys kiss and make up before I make you all wish that you were NEVER BORN! Now fix the problem and STAY SILENT!" she hissed, slamming the door.

"Your sister unit is scary…" said Skoodge.

"You think?" said Dib, his gut finally relaxing.

"Zim?" asked Skoodge.

Zim once again was deep within his thoughts… the world hated him… but… he had to change it… he had to free them…

Miyuki…the dream…

"What is it about the dream you adore so much?" asked Miyuki.

" I don't know…When it was over, all Zim could think about was how this entire situation has given me sight, what we are, just its structure, and a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, it was a mystery, and Zim had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me, and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, and just interacting with them. That's what I love the most - connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered. That's all that truly mattered." Said Zim out loud.

"What?" asked Dib.

"It's nothing. Thank you for tending to me Dib…Skoodge…" said Zim jumping off the table and walking out.

Skoodge and Dib looked at the irken as he ascended the stairs.

"What happened to him?" asked Skoodge.

"Don't look at me I didn't do anything." Said Dib inching away from Skoodge.


Zim looked into the living room, Gir looked happy sitting there on the couch, playing with Gaz and Minimoose.

"Gir? can you come here?" asked Zim.

"aw man!" said the little SIR unit putting the controller down.

" hurry back Gir, I don't want to lose to Minimoose again!" said Gaz.

"nya!" squeaked Minimoose.

"you're on!" said Gaz returning to the game.

Gir then stood in front of his master.

"yes master?" he asked, his eyes wide.

"gir... you like it here don't you? you like it yes?" asked Zim.

"yes!" chirped the little robot.

" Gir... do you hate me?" asked Zim, remembering the moment when he dreamed that Gir ran him over.

"..." the SIR unit did not respond.

" Gir answer me! do you hate me?" asked Zim again.

"I like tacos!" chirped the unit.

"do you hate me!" said Zim a little louder, capturing the attention of Gaz and Minimoose.

Gir looked at his master... he was silent...

Zim then sighed. " I guess that means yes huh? deep inside you hate me don't you?" said Zim turning away and heading towards the door.

"master?" asked the SIR unit tearing up.

"MASTER!" he called again, trying to follow.

"I am not your master remember? deep inside, you can remember what you almost did." said Zim opening the door.

"Pamit, Gir, it was a pleasure working with you sort of... but I guess you can't really say the same about me." said Zim walking out of the house and closing the door before Gir could follow. He had to do it... he had to say good-bye. he was not wanted here... not by anyone.

"MASTER!" shouted Gir, prying the door open, but Zim was gone, gir could not find him... and the SIR cried...

"what happened?" asked Dib who burst in from the labs. Skoodge right behind him.

"Gir, where's Zim?" asked Skoodge.

Gir didn't hear him, Gir was looking around, standing outside calling for his master at the top of his "lungs" so to speak.

he called and called.

"MASTER!"

perhaps Gir was advanced in his own way... the little robot had feelings... he was practically a metal human with a good dose of insanity and infancy...

Zim smiled at this thought...and then decided to get his personal belongings and just leave the people that hated him... he had to get rid of the people that would most likely not understand him... and were probably not even willing to try.

and so the SIR unit cried.

and the world soon became dark, and it started to rain... heavily.


phew, this chapter did not come out the way I wanted to either, but bear with me, I have tests and projects coming in constantly and I can't really keep up with this story, soon Zim will get into what I originally wanted him to get into... the gift he has and him joining the meekrobian war.

stuff like that, but also understand that I am trying to make a new Zim fan fiction that will cross over with coraline.

But I need some help on it.

I don't know if I should make Zim, Tak or Dib the main character.

but that will come soon. Skoodge's entry will be in here soon, then I'll try my best to put the next chapter together. but it will take a while.

if you have anything to say please review this story, I need some constructive criticism and I need to know if this story is understandable or if it needs to be edited.

well that's all folks, I'm going back to doing my homework.

REVIEW!

Zim: you suck.

you know what why don't you come down here Zim and let me stick a pole up your but turn you into a lollipop?

Skoodge: Lick. (:
