Walking along in silence, they had no further sightings of the horrible threesome. Strange how there is a whole planet with two citizens trying to destroy them while one that was employed helped. They wondered if it was just a ploy. Do any other really exist here or are they elsewhere spreading their misery? Both questions did drift through Zim and Dib's head as they trudged along not even tired, just more annoyed to the point that Zim kept making up songs to pass the time. Something that even Dib had no idea that he could sing.

I've been on so many worlds and I've destroyed some things.

They say I've killed my former Tallests, but even I know that is a mistake.

Always blame the smallest.

Who will one day become the greatest.

Ohhhh wasn't what I did with Operation Impending Doom I an amazing piece of woooorrrrrkkkkkkkk.

It isn't my fault that they were all once so blind of me

But that is ok since I have proven them allllll sooooo wrong!

I was sent to a planet no one ever heard of, and met a large headed boyyyyyyyyyy!

And a girl who soon will become my wifeeeeeee!

We fought and fought with me under the impression that I was there to take over a planet!

Who knew the bastards sent me there to DIEEEEEEEEEEE!

Exiled and abused.

Small and still so supreme.

At least I never got killed by a snack machine!

I grew to become Tallest and Invaded a planet.

Sure I killed some of their own, but they returned the favor in killing some of my own!

All this so I can call that girl my very own!

Well given the fact that the song was, well to put it mildly, a tad over the top, Dib cleared his voice. "Had no clue you could sing."

Chin up in the air, Zim was proud. "I told you I am superior."

Chuckling. "Keep dreaming, space boy." Frowning, Dib said, "I miss my family."

"I miss my, Gaz even if I can feel her up there." Zim mentioned.

"I know, Tak is mad at me for just taking off, but something was off."

"She'll get over it once she sees you again." Stopping himself, Zim just went to sit on the ground feeling something washing over him. Hearing Dib's questioning voice, Zim held up a finger stopping him. He felt Gaz bringing him in and what he loved was that it looked like their own bedroom as he watched her enter.

"Zim, is this really working?" Gaz wondered as she reached out to touch him.

Touching her hand, Zim loved that smile she gave him. "Seems to be, my demoness."

"We need to establish the same connection like last time to get you guys back here." Sniffling, she added, "What has happened since you been down there?"

Touching her face, Zim stared into those eyes. "Well they are annoying. Showed both your brother and I, alternate realities. After Psyllic brought me out in the middle of nowhere and I touched the ground, he freaked out, and I haven't seen him since."

"Pity I can't freak him out. He came to visit me to talk about an alternate reality. He wanted to show me, but I naturally shot him down." Sighing, she added, "Tenn being pregnant should be a happy thing, but seeing who is the father... Nope. Bastard now knows when he cornered her and touched her. She is back on the Massive because he was blocking her way out of there."

Letting out a huff of air, Zim cursed. "Not like it truly is gonna stop them, but still assign guards for her. I know the Armada is up there because of you." Smiling at her, he hoped she can feel all his touches right now. "I know you are a great leader, my Gaz."

"Gir keeps crying out because he wants his daddy back."

"Well I guess we already have a smeet." Pressing his forehead against hers, he added, "Though I want a non-malfunctioning smeet that doesn't have a weird addiction to Suck Monkeys."

"But they may love Bloaties. What will happen then?" She teased.

"I'll still love them."

Closing her eyes to take him in as much as possible, she whispered out, "Somehow you will have to lock horns with Psyllic and get Dib to join. I know I was able to send that strong bit of energy up, and if Dib has doubts about it, he should know now that he can achieve it too."

"How is it possible you both have so much power? Did your father do something to you both?" Seeing her eyes look away, he touched her hair. "You really never talk about that past at all. Why?"

"I just remember we were all happy and then she left one day. Dib and I had no clue what happened. Dad shut down and as you saw, was hardly there. Sure we say she died to make it easier to deal with in our own way, but in truth..." Head bowing down, she bit her lip. "I don't know, Zim. Dib won't either."

Kissing her cheeks as much as possible, he held her till they both felt something happening. "Unsure which end that is happening from, but Gaz please take care of yourself."

"Of course. Watch out for, Dib. I love you."

Zim hated that they were being pulled apart by something. "I love you too, little Gaz."

Opening his eyes up, Zim stood up to observe all around him again. "That was coming from her end."

"What?" Alarmed, Dib stared into those ruby depths. "Zim, what?!"

"We were being pulled apart while communicating. Gaz and I." Grabbing his shoulder, Zim whispered what they both were talking about except for the part about their mother. Pulling away, Zim looked at, Dib.

"I can certainly try that, but can we maim him in the meantime?" Dib inquired as he started heading off.

Maim? Gaz rubbed off on her brother, Zim thought as he fell in step beside him.


"Where the hell have you been and why the hell have you been ignoring my summons?" Psyllic was irate at Pressner. He trusted him since he proved so loyal in his services and then it was like he became, ELIAS of all things.

Almost rolling his eyes and giving him an unfriendly gesture, Pressner told him plainly, "Elias kidnapped Tenn, dumped her in the Void with me, and I got angry at her hatred so I placed in the middle of a town without her disguise, I went to give her an option, and she chose to be mobbed instead. She called Tak, and she retrieved her, then I spent that time searching them out so I needed that quiet time."

Elias kidnapped Tenn to give her to him... Interesting, Psyllic thought.

"You should of still said something for me to understand. Did you at least locate them?" Psyllic wondered.

"Where they are hidden is carefully concealed so I decided to move to Tak's old base." Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Tenn placed a communication to the Massive and spoke to Gaz. While I confronted her I found out something interesting."

"And that being?"

"She's pregnant with my child."

That is a nice development, Psyllic thought.

"Did she tell you?"

Staring at the liquor ahead of him, Pressner was tempted. "I touched her stomach and I felt it. Felt the same signature my own kind would give off."

"Get her back then." Moves closer to his face. "The more power the better."

Tenn won't like this at all. "I will."

"I know you will." Chuckling softly, Psyllic wandered away.

Pressner grinded his jaw. She won't be too happy about that.


As the serpent continued its still unknown wave of destruction there was an awakening happening. One that was long overdue. The being was unhappy at what was going on. This being needed to make itself known. Eyes closing, they wanted to see who needed the most help at the moment, and finding that person, they headed on their way.
