The serpent continued its trek along each galaxy tearing down each planet that was taken over by the Irkens. Sure you can say they deserved it, but what about the races that once ruled there? What about them? Shouldn't they at least have a say in these things? As far as Psyllic was concerned if you were weak enough to be taken over by a race than in the end you deserve to be turned asunder.

Were the Earthlings weaklings in essence when they were invaded? Psyllic had to place some thought into that one. The only reason why they lasted as long as they did was mostly because of Dib and Gaz. Dib did have a lot of knowledge he gathered about Zim over the years so that helped, and he knew that he was the go to person for advice. Gaz helped with a lot of the training and such. The siblings were pretty powerful together and the true reason for that Invasion was simply because Zim wanted Gaz.

Guess flowers wouldn't do for a girl like her. He had to invade a planet.

Feeling a presence behind him, Psyllic turned his head to look back at a pissed off looking Pressner. "What happened now?"

"I know you didn't send Elias to demand me to do my job."

"Elaborate on what happened please."

Pressner explained to him what happened and how it could almost endanger her. "Look, I enjoy doing my job, but not at the expense of harming my unborn child."

Psyllic softened at that. "It has been an eternity since I born my first child so I understand the hesitance there. You are correct that I didn't send my son there. Elias often acts on his own to a point that even one day I won't be surprised when I end up killing him."

Almost laughing at that last part he had to wonder. "Exactly which number child was he for you?"

"My last one. He's half Plegerin. Truly I believe he really isn't my son." Turning back to re-focus on the images in front of him he sighed. "Arranged marriages are the worst and are tiring so after so many wives that are forced on you, who cares? I'm sure it wasn't a easy time for them either."

"I didn't expect to be discussing all this when I stormed in." Right then he looked as that serpent crushed another planet. "How long till it reaches Irk?"


Miyuki examined her son throughly after he stepped into the chamber. He was still so young, but still so mature. Far more mature for his age than any other. The responsibilities he had been dealing with and still do showed in those eyes of his. Her son was more human than Irken in appearance, but she knew of the fights that he and Zim shared over the years so she knew Dib was strong.

Dib felt her in the room, but refused to say a word believing she should say something first herself. Yes his ever curious mind wanted to ask a million questions, but he didn't want to start off doing it since it was still so strange to know what half of him was. He felt some guilt there, but at the same time he didn't. Zim did deserve a lot of ass kickings in the past for being a jerk. That made him give off a lopsided little smile.

"Your father nor I ever smiled like that."

Dib knew she would speak finally and he was screaming in his head, HALLELUJAH! Sometimes it really is hard for him to keep quiet for a long period of time since he doesn't have that same skill set like Gaz or Tak does. He knew Zim didn't have that skill set since he always loved the sound of his own voice. Oh thank god his voice changed when he got taller because before it made him feel like his eardrum would explode when Zim ranted and screamed.

"I wouldn't know since he always kept his mouth covered up with that heavy lab coat of his." Dib said back to her.

"True." Miyuki approached so can look at him in a more close up way. "My son is incredibly handsome."

Dib felt his cheek being touched in such a motherly way. It was all too familiar. It was so long ago he last felt it. "Thank you, but I assume your powers are not fully there yet."

"You assume correctly, my son." Miyuki couldn't get over at what she was seeing. "I'm so sorry I missed so much in your lives."

Dib had a feeling that if Gaz was there she wouldn't be as quiet as him right now, but then again he wasn't that quiet either. "What I hate is this... Dad making me out as if I'm insane because of what I believed all along when he knew in fact it was true because look who our mother is."

She understood the resentment there, she did. "I reprimanded him on his behavior about all of that when he reached the plain. I told him it wasn't a good thing to tear you apart like that."

Dib closed his eyes in thought. "After this is over will we see you again or is this the only time we do?"

"It is the Control Brains say in the matter."

While her voice sounded like it had regret behind it it didn't help, Dib's mood as his eyes shot open. "This is such bullshit mother! We deserve answers in our lives. All of us! Each and every day has been filled with questions since you left."

Miyuki felt his frustration and his power starting to emanate from him making her step away more.

"Gaz cried and cried and dad pretty much left us after you did leaving me mostly being the one to raise her. Me!"

She saw his eyes start blazing red making her wonder what he would do right now.

"After she cried and did her thing did you know how she changed into this mean spiteful child? She hated everyone, including me, but I loved her regardless. Why? Because I'm her brother and we are family and I swore to protect her."

Miyuki wanted to say something when his hands started charging. Her son doesn't know what he is truly capable of.

"Thing is when she finally spoke to me, I mean really speak without threats or growling at me, I found out what was laying in that brain of hers. She never hated me, and thanked me for being there for her when so many would of bailed on her." A tear dropped from his emblazoned eyes. "We both feel like you and dad bailed on us both. We both felt more unwanted than anything in this world. Sorry, this Universe."

Mustering as much power as she could, Miyuki showed herself as best as possible, but in her true form. "There is no amount of begging for forgiveness that I could do for the both of you because I feel the pains inside of you."

Dib took her in. It was strange to see her not as a human, but as an Irken. She was mostly see through, and she looked regal to him. Who did Gaz really take after when no one else in the family looked like her. "No, but if you were able to stick around in some way after all this is over with we would appreciate it."

"I will talk to the Control Brains again, Dib. I swear it." Miyuki promised.

"So who does Gaz look like really since no one else in the family looks like her?"

"Simple. Me in my holographic simulation. Powers and all help."

She told him so easily that it almost sounded cocky too making him almost laugh, but he just accepted the explanation. He still had plenty of questions left in his skull.


Zim and Gaz were listening to Skoodge go on about the report that Pressner took Tenn. Gaz had to fight to maintain her stoic expression on her face as he continued to pace and stomp around as he swore vengence on Pressner's soul if anything were to happen to her. Even Zim was looking at him with patience as he allowed him to carry on.

"When do you think we should stop him?" Gaz wondered curiously.

"Well his brain hasn't exploded yet so not now." Zim answered casually.

Gaz watched at how Gir surprised Skoodge when he jumped off from where he was to land on his shoulders making him curse at the insane robot now. "It really is hard not to laugh at that."

Zim's eyes crinkled a bit at trying to maintain himself. "Zim is starting to fail right now."

Gaz was too as she put her head down allowing her hair to cover her smiling face right then, but it didn't cover her shoulders as it visibly showed she was laughing silently. "Well I'm screwed."

Placing his hand over hers, Zim loved when she also placed her other hand on top of his. "Let Skoodge believe what he believes since this all part of the plan."

Gaz just nodded her agreement there as they fought to maintain themselves.
