Attempting to write longer chapters. Trying to incorporate Dib in here a lot more. Along with Tak.

Once again, thank you for the reviews. Much appreciated. :)

After entering the void they noticed more then a few corpses in various states lying in every which state. It surprisingly didn't smell like rotting flesh, but was disgusting all the same. Dib almost gagged a half dozen times and Tak who was used to misery even started to feel grossed out.

"They are all the same species... Aren't they?" Dib unsurely questioned.

Getting closer to them to examine them, Tak unfortunately had to check their teeth as well, when the last one she checked literally lost its own jaw while she was holding it, she angrily looked ahead as she replied. "Yes they are and they aren't natural deaths."

Walking to her side, he already had his gun pulled out ready to shoot. "Who would do this?"

"I have no clue, Dib. This race has kept itself mostly clouded in mystery." Tak noticed another red swirl happening from the far left of them. Doing readings in their current location, she made a jerking motion for him to follow her there. "Nothing here right now except for dead bodies. Let's move on."

Taking a step forward Dib threw up a little in his mouth when he realized he stepped on a rotting hand. "Here is hoping for no more dead bodies." Tak didn't reply, but in her head she couldn't help but echo that sentiment.

"Are you enjoying your confines?"

Opening her eyes, Gaz didn't bother to focus on him. Why bother? He is an arrogant bastard really. "It gives me time to think about ripping your head off. So yes, I am enjoying my confines."

Mirthful laughter followed that remark. "Oh you are delicious."

"I am? I didn't realize you are a cannibal. Huh... Is it still consider cannibalism when we are two different species? They never taught us this at all."

"If you want, I can eat you. It looked like Zim was having a nice go at wanting to eat you." Pressner spoke seductively.

Finally looking into his smug assine face, Gaz gave him a tiny smile. "Zim can eat me anytime. You on the other hand. Can't."

"Why give yourself to a fool?"

Watching him step forward, she wondered what he was going to do next. "Never underestimate him. Ever."

"Some of my own species started to become fools. You, dear, are no fool, so why give yourself to him? I admit what I watched was rather hot, but you have lowered yourself."

"Once again. Don't underestimate him. So many have and look where he is now. He has me because I want him as much." What she wouldn't do just to punch a hole through his throat right now.

"Now what about, Bret?"

"Feeling inferior?"

Gentle laugh. "No. Curious."

Facing him fully she honestly answered him. "Honestly, I liked his personality. It wasn't this thing you are. He was much cooler." Pausing to give him a cold once over. "But however I felt for him, it wasn't as strong as how I felt for, Zim."

Smiling at her honesty, he heated up his hand, and very quickly held the flamed bars. Watching her eyes widen up in obvious fear, he made sure to shock her so she'd land on the floor, then he wrapped flames around her body holding her down. Gritted teeth and closed lid eyes offered him a view of someone fighting against him. Scanning her entire body he did see her body betraying her fight with her mind. Smiling wickedly, he quickly stopped his torment as he closed his eyes and tilted his head back enjoying the rhythms her body was giving. He enjoyed himself until he heard her laughter.

"You are nothing but a coward. Cowards are the ones that force others to do things against their will. You think I will give myself to you? I'd rather die." Gaz quietly breathed out.

Shrugging he wasn't going to raise himself to the bait. She'll bend. "After a while you will think differently."

Turning her head to stare deadly straight at him, she smiled. "Then I'll scream out Zim's name in pleasure."

Happily finding something to put in front of his nose, Tak and himself couldn't breath now. It wasn't for lack of air. It was for the strong heinous stench in the air. "There are no bodies on the ground." He noted aloud, but with a simple tap on his shoulder, Tak made him look up. Eyes wide, he was looking around even quicker then before. "I want out of here now. What the hell is going on here?"

Scanning, Tak started issuing nothing but curses when something fell down on her. If she can throw up from her own eye balls she would of. "I hate water, you know, but I'd rather take a bath in lots of water then have THAT on me ever again." Finding another swirl, she grabbed Dib's hand and ran for it. The sooner out of the hanging body room the better in her opinion.

Landing in yet, what they assume another room, or another space in time... Well really, Dib and Tak were already tired and frankly pissed, before they paused in that feeling to notice this room washed in light and a lot of pictures. Standing back to back now they scanned the room with their eyes.

"He really has a thing for your sister." Tak pointed out as she recognized her in younger pictures. Tilting her head a little she found one of her on their families upper patio area lounging with a flame resting comfortably in her hand. "Do you know much of your own sister's powers?"

The wall he was viewing was her as she was getting older and obviously around Zim more. She was obviously more happy here. Some had her with flames growing from her own hand sometimes with Zim looking on. "I don't know the true extent of her own powers. The flames I know of. How much she can do with them? I have no clue. I do know she can be very strong physically for someone so petite, but there are many without powers who can do that and know how to reissue their own body mass to lend them strength."

Continuing to scan the pictures, she seen one of Zim on top of Gaz with his hands on her chest. "Does it feel good to touch a woman's breasts?" Tak wondered.

"Huh?" Turning his head to regard her with a raised eyebrow, he thought it was weird of her asking him this question right now. Slight curiosity almost made him walk over there to see what she was looking at, but just in case it was of Gaz, he didn't wish to see that. "Why would you ask that question?"

Shrugging, she replied. "Just wondered." Taking the picture in her hand, she ripped it apart to spare Dib and even Gaz any sort of embarrassment. "I guess I will ask this of, Gaz."

"If this species is so advanced, what is with all these photo's? I mean some are polaroids and some are from regular old film." Stopping in his tracks, he gulped and stared down at the ground. "Tak if you see anything that might be too revealing of my sister, could you please..."

"I ripped one apart of Zim on top of her in the school yard with his hands on her chest." She interrupted. Seeing nothing more incriminating to her on her side, she wandered to Dib's side and immediately took down the one that caused him some anguish.

"Yeah I remember that day in the school yard. I didn't automatically jump down his throat because even I was too dumbfounded and stunned that happened. Really that was my fault in a way, but he did linger a long time on her. Please rip that picture up."

"You won't ask her about it?"

Shaking his head, he grabbed her scanner away from her to do some readings. He honestly couldn't take the wall any longer. He honestly didn't know everything about their friendship since some was hidden away because of him. Feeling guilty that in some way he somehow pushed her away, even though sometime before him going to college she told him, he actually didn't. He just became obsessed in finding the truth. He was passionate in what he loved the most. She told him that he actually did more for her then she ever admitted before. He knew she was growing up, but at that moment it was when he saw her truly slowly becoming even more mature then before.

Pressner gone again. Or so it seemed. Gaz was left alone in her thoughts. When she couldn't think anymore regarding a solution to her problem she thought of something else. Something at least nice. She actually thought of the times she allowed Dib to pick the movie so he can spend some time with her. She grumbled at him about stuff, but she was just hiding the fact it was nice to see him happy spending time with her. Also she kinda liked it herself. Even she had to begrudgingly admit to that.

She remembered one time, she was 15 and she agreed to meet up with Zim at the park. Just to have a little fun, she decided to steal some alcohol from her dad's private stash. It was 9 pm and it was a really nice night out. Zim went to her look out simply to get away from his base. He was already waiting up there sitting against the tree fiddling with something in his hand. He was always fiddling with something. Observing him for a minute, she made sure she looked decent. She checked her dark blue skirt and her black bell sleeved blouse that tied up in the front just showing the barest hint of her toned stomach. She was feeling bold tonight, but not too bold hence the alcohol excuse. Just in case of people thinking she was dressed as a little lolita she did have a light coat on. Smiling, she wandered up to him.

"Am I late?" She asked. When he looked up at her, she can tell his eyes were just examining what he was seeing in front of him. She knew he really wouldn't know what to do, but she actually delighted when she teased him in a flirting fashion. She loved his reactions far better then a human boys.

"Uh no." Zim replied and quickly went to his device. She suspected he wanted to avoid being uncomfortable, but she did notice him slowing his pace down and observing her as she slowly took her coat off to sit beside him. Clearing his throat, he went back to work.

Stretching her legs out in front of her, Gaz didn't bother what he was working on. There were a lot of times now she actually didn't mind guessing. Sometimes she kinda brushed it off knowing he will bask her in the glory that is Zim. Although it was cute of him making noticeable glances her way. Normally she always wore some sort of boot, but this time she decided on something incredibly different for her. Black ballerina type shoes with spikes at the end. Her goal was to see if he noticed the maximum amount of skin. He had his experiments and she had her own.

"Oh I brought something with me if you want to try something completely different since you said you wanted to try different refreshments the other day." Producing the alcohol she opened up the bottle to let him take a sniff.

"What the heck is that Earth filth?" Zim screamed out snatching the bottle away from her and sniffing it again.

"Rum. It is a little more sweeter so I thought you would like it better. I can't buy something else that would be more of a desert drink since I'm underage, so I thought this was the next best thing." Grabbing the bottle back from him, she took a swig of it, and choked a little. "Yes, that is a normal." Taking another swig, she didn't cough, but enjoyed the taste the second time around. Moaning she handed the bottle to him.

Zim was staring down at the buttons of her shirt as he took the bottle and mindlessly took a swig himself making himself choke. Holding the bottle up to examine the liquid in the moonlight, he smiled and took another drink. "Smooth."

As time wore on, Zim's device was forgotten and both of them were laughing and joking about random things. Gaz kept noticing how he seemed more inebriated then her. Or was that the opposite way around? Laughing at a shooting star in the sky, Zim laid on the ground with his head next to her stomach as he pointed at the tail of it. Gaz just loved looking at him like this. He looked like he was trying to be coy in how he was looking at her, but she wasn't stupid, so as a further experiment she pretended to have an itch on her knee then move her hand up slowly.

Rolling over to his side, he stopped her hand from moving any further up, reaching quickly to her other side he took another drink and laid the bottle back down. As he moved his hand towards him he stopped at the knot of her shirt and started fiddling with it. As he looked up to her face he noticed the vein in her neck was pulsing a lot more quicker. Looking down, he kissed her stomach. Hearing her hitched breath he continued exploring her stomach with his mouth. He wasn't taught anything of what he was doing, this was something that felt natural to him as he untied that knot.

Gaz wanted to see what would happen, but she had no clue he would be doing this. First feeling the knot come undone and now a couple of bottom buttons, she took a swig and giggled with delight as she felt him continue his explorations then gasped really strongly the second she felt his clawed hands. His now naked clawed hands moving up her skirt. Looking down to him, then back to the sky, then him, then the sky, she clutched at her coat. She guessed he really did know what he was doing. Especially when she felt nothing but air hit her body more. The world was spinning and his explorations were driving her crazy.

All this time she pretended nothing ever happened. She always feigned stupidity. Now she had a deep feeling, Zim did as well just to keep her from being embarrassed. She knew she was still a virgin, they both did stop before it went even further. She allowed him to touch her because she desired it. She wanted him even as she tried to deny it because of her brother. Now there was no more denial and she wanted to be with him for the long haul. He was the one she wanted to feel. Not this buggering bastard. Attempting to stand up, she tried yet another angle at this. She hoped she can find that weakness soon.

As for the picture that Tak found it was of that day. A day that even Tak did a merciful thing in ripping up as her and Dib ventured forth.

Kicking Purple very hard in the side causing him to fly hard against the wall nearest to him. Zim didn't give him time to recover his breath before he grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and brought him face to face with him. "Tell me something pertinent or die."

Trying to move away from him, but every physical blow he tried to issue caused, Purple shocking pain. Stopping his struggles, he looked at Zim's cold hard look, and shivered. "Ab..about what?"

"Lard Nar. Also perhaps since two of my members have gone into the vipers nest searching for Gaz, maybe once she comes back she will deal with you instead. Oh no perhaps me. You have to forgive me here. I'm creepy. Or I'm crazy." Tossing him hard against the ground, Zim glared down at him. "You tell me, Purple. You were so good at telling me what you thought I was. Oh wait!" Getting close to him again, he whispered, "I'm defective."

"Calm down Zim. Calm down."

"Why? I want Gaz back. It is simple. While Lard Nar may not know where that bastard has taken her, he might know a way of getting in contact with him. But yes perhaps I am a bit insane right now, but that is understandable. As far as I know from my last report from Mimi is that they went into that bastards void. I can't communicate with them right now, but I hope I have not only lost her but her own brother and Tak." Taking a deep breath he stomped the ground.

"Now I am looking at any variable at the present moment before I kick Lard Nar's sorry ass into the afterworld." Zim promised.
