Thumping the side of his head against the wall, he didn't understand why he couldn't raise them for hours. Where were Blug, Icer and Pressner? Blug and Icer were a bit incompetent, but Pressner had a bit more reliability even if he didn't act like he wanted to be hampered down by responsibility. He was the only one that truly relished meeting up with that girl.

"Where are you idiots?" He groused as he tipped over his chair in a fit of frustration. He had to stay behind the scenes, but this is starting to feel like he had to be up front in the action again. Hearing a beep signaling a communication within the ship, he answered it. "What?!"

"Hmph, not in a good mood, sugar pie?" Sizz-Lor's sarcastic voice was heard. Lard Nar swore he felt like grease was oozing out of his pores and seeping through the system from all his years working on Foodcourtia. "Well you better lighten up since we have guests here. High esteemed guests."

Knowing that it had to be Zim, he had to wonder why he pluralized the word 'guests.' He assumed naturally that the big guy was just a huge moron himself. Straightening himself out, he marched out of his quarters and on towards the bridge, nodding to his insubordinates along the way. Entering the bridge, he guessed it was Zim, and another Irken with him with their back to him.

"Greetings, Almighty Tallest, you are back so soon." Lard Nar said with hidden mock enthusiasm.

"Greetings back to you." Zim smiled back with the same level of enthusiasm. "I came back here to introduce you to someone. Someone who will be back in power very soon. Actually, silly me." Clutching his stomach in laughter before reigning it in. "She has always been in power, but was forced to leave for an extended period of time."

Placing his hand gently on the turned back of the other Irken, they slowly turned to him as Zim introduced him. "Lard Nar, I am very pleased for you to be introduced to a true Elder by the name of Dai."

Being face to face with the one he knew he killed a long time ago, Lard Nar took every power inside of him to keep himself up and try to talk evenly as he made a slight bow to her. "Oh. Um pleasure to meet you, Dai."

Smiling at him serenely, she just nodded her head to him. "Pleasure to meet you as well. Zim has told me so much about you and how you have become invaluable to him. How are you enjoying it here on the Irken side?"

"Oh I'm liking it pretty well. Too much dirty things happening within the Resisty." He replied staring into her purple gaze.

"That is fantastic to hear." Beaming, she looked over at Sizz-Lor. "My daughter would be interested in meeting this one personally one day. Lots of fascinating things I have heard about him. I'm glad you are here with us. It has been a short time back, but I see so many great things so far with you."

Watching this torture in front of him, he just wanted to beat something up, but he had to pretend to be cordial until his plans helped him destroy Irk.

"Well I have other places to bring our Elder, Lard Nar and Sizz-Lor, so I thank you for your courtesies." Zim said as he walked to Dai's side.

"Well I hope the little lady comes back and visits soon. Also I have heard rumors about your daughter and I'm curious about her." Sizz-Lor mentioned.

Laughing, she agreed to that, and added. "Seriously my daughter has quite a reputation outside Earth so far. I knew my children would achieve something great one day."

"Gaz is one of a kind." Taking her arm he blinked them out of there placing them immediately in her bedroom watching her promptly removing the holo of her mom.

Growling, she balled her fists to the side of her body and stomped paced around her room. "I wanted to kill him, Zim. I wanted to make him disappear where I made those freaks disappear to. No that is too nice for him."

He knew it was best to allow her to let this out right now instead of stopping her, so he allowed her to vent. If he was in that position, he would be feeling the same way. He was curious where she made those three felons vanish to, but just left it alone. It was for the best anyhow. Although in the middle of her ranting, she took off her coat, leaving her with only a bra on underneath, so he tried to just focus his attention to her face. Wait! That is good, this is a distraction for you from asking that really big curious question though. He didn't know she owned anything light blue. Growling inside his head, he had to remain serious for her.

Gaz was still ranting when she finally saw the look in Zim's eyes and where he was really looking. "Uh Zim? You enjoy what you are looking at?"

"Yes." He replied in a hypnotized state before focusing slowly up to her slightly serious face. "Sorry, but what do you expect? I am listening to you both ways."

Opening her mouth to say something almost snarky, she held back, and smiled at him instead. He really can be very adorable when he wanted to be. "So what is next on our agenda?"

"First we can take more clothes off." Zim answered with some hope, but that was quickly dashed with a simple quirk of her eyebrow. "You can't blame me. You know how fantastic I am, that's why you fell for me."

Smiling at him, she waved her hand as a hint for him to go on and answer her question. He really was pretty cute.

"I would love to take you to Irk with me as yourself. I'm still perfecting something so there will be a side by side of you and your mother so it will strike the largest fear in Lard Nar. Right now..."

"Sir, private video from Sizz-Lor. Everything checks out." Once again the Computer sounded better then yesterday.

"Please play it for us." Zim instructed.

A video screen popped up showing Lard Nar walking calmly into his quarters, but the second he closed the door he started to jump up and down in frustration. Screaming obscenities. Running over to his computer he seemed to try to privately communicate with someone. "Damn it answer! Ugh failures! You didn't grab the girl if she is still around walking free." Slamming his head down on his desk. "I killed her. I saw her. She was dying. She couldn't of survived. I should of stayed and watched her stop breathing and killed that girl." Standing up, he slammed his body to the ground just groaning into the ground. Next image was Sizz-Lor

"He has been like this since you left. I will keep you updated on more. I hear the girl can fight for herself, but keep her safe." The video cut out.

Zim and Gaz just stared at the wall in silence. Normally Zim can feel her emotions as clear as day, but right now it was deadly silence. Her expression and body stance was void of much. Zim wanted to touch her, but was so unsure. So many years. So many things he has ever seen. Nothing much frightened him, except for this.

"Zim."

"Yes?"

"The sooner we put an end to this... The better." Gaz stated with utmost seriousness.
