Zim really is trying to play with my brain right now.


Up in space, Lard Nar walked away from the bridge as calmly as possible away from everyone. The turn of events that happened just became an over abundance of nerves wrapped up in smelly gift wrap, that when you opened it up, you still ended up with slime in your face. Sizz-Lor has already proven that it in a short amount of time how difficult it is becoming for him to hide anything. At least the other Irkens were a little more capable of not questioning his every move and speech pattern.

Nodding to a few dumb dumb Irkens on the way to his private chambers, he went in and started jumping up and down in a fit of anger. Grabbing the nearest thing to him, he bit down on it to growl as he jumped.

Stopping in mid anger, he focused suddenly outside into space, he had to formulate something more in his brain. Something that Zim won't detour him again. He found out quick enough, mostly through a transmission he received when he halted his own soldiers from firing on a purple headed girl, that when he focused on the house he came from, he dimly remembered it was the same house he went to a long time ago to kill an Elder. A little purple headed thing came in to try to stop him, but failed. He wondered with him protecting that girl, is there something more to that picture? Silently berating himself for not listening more to him as he talked. And boy can Zim talk a lot when he wanted to. He most likely mentioned this girl.

"What would happen if I killed you like I did your mama?" He said to himself as he smiled, which was quickly wiped off his face when he had a second thought. "Great idea, but now I have to figure out how to contact my armada without that idiot knowing."

Angry with everything again, he now started to hit his head against his bed, and growling each time face met mattress.

Sizz-Lor smiled to himself on the bridge, grunted nothing coherent, and felt it was time to re-frustrate that idiot once again. He actually allowed him a bit of time to himself, but knowing it was time to plant something in his quarters, he went to go and meet up with him. Not bothering to bang on the door, he barged in to see the idiot stumble in mid rant and fall almost on his rear before catching him.

"You don't just barge into someone's quarters without permission!" Lard Nar barked as he got up.

"Hmmph" Chomping on his cigar looking thing in his mouth, he sneered at him. "Oh do forgive the intrusion, next time I'll announce my presence to you via a cavalcade of horns and soldiers for your mightiness."

Half lidded and mouth dropped open at that sarcasm, he really didn't know how to respond to that, except. "Uh yeah I guess that would be nice if that is what Irkens really do even though I never seen Zim's presence marked in that way."

Making a notable sound as he chomped down, Sizz-Lor sneered. "Hmph, you are naive. You are needed back on the bridge."

"Alright fine." Head in the air, the diminutive traitor walked past him.

Idiot. Sizz-Lor thought, as he planted a camera in the room. He may be large, but he scoffed at anyone who thought he was slow.


Tenn herself viewed the Earth troops as they suddenly seemed to go silent. So much activity and then the motion of the engines of their vehicles seemed to rumble into that of one of those large rat creatures she encountered once before. Looking at their planes flying off in the direction they came, she just stared at it in question. Things suddenly seemed to go quiet. Their own soldiers ducked into their strange vehicles and backed away from them. She watched all around seeing the equally confused looks of her troops.

They can't be giving up, can they? She thought.

In different locations on Earth, the same thing was happening that was happening in front of Tenn. They wondered if they actually won, but had to hail Zim for his opinion on what to do.

"You are to hold your locations and not back down." Came Zim's order. "This is obviously a trick."

Respecting their Tallest's command, they held themselves down, and waited.


In front of the Membrane house, a couple of figures looked up at the barricaded structure. Steel doors and lasers on the outside on the lawn. Looking at one another, they activated the one thing they knew that can get past something almost very primitive. Once inside, they will lay in wait for the one they spotted with the newest Tallest. According to some reports, he had a bit of a rival between the Membranes and him, but became friends with one.

"Lard Nar is a moron." One gravelly toned bumpy looking shadow said as he hunched over.

"He thinks he is smart, we show him good and the inhabi... A what that word? The things that live here, something." The leaner one spoke as he giggled with unspoken thoughts.

"We wait. Seeing old broadcasts this girl is something evil."

Snorting as he laughed, he hugged his companion until he got punched. "I like em feisty."

"We play with her later. Right now we wait."


"Zim! Dib told me that everything is ready. Dad is speaking to the military and they will go as soon as you say the word. Or at least talk to them yourself." Gaz spoke as he re-entered the lab. Taking a piece of whatever he had on his jacket, and tossing it aside. "Perhaps it is best you speak to them over the monitor."

Holding her hand, he kissed her cheek. "I will."

"What was that on your jacket?"

Brushing a bit more of it off him, he spoke matter of factly. "Squid. Had a bit of fun down there with Red and Purple."

Running her hands along his chest, she looked into his eyes and pouted. "Oh and I wasn't allowed to have any fun?"

"We will have plenty of fun on Irk very soon. I promise. In fact, time to get dressed, my love. As I already hear, Lard Nar is already very stressed." Soft chuckling started until he threw his head back and laughed maniacally with his claws in the air. Relaxing a bit, he stared at the monitor. "Yeessssssssssss."
