Dib's face contorted as they continued to send their energy through the rod. "Can't we just go to Plegerin and just kill that bastard instead of do all this?"

No one answered his question, but Pressner. "Easier said than done. This creature was created by not only one, but many making it pointless to do so since they gave this creature life. A life that won't be easily swayed even after we destroy that entire planet. Trust me on this."

"How? How do you know this?" Tak questioned as she kept the sleeping Jack in her arms.

"I killed a Plegerin soldier to obtain this information. She was quite willing believing in something that I wanted from her." Snorting he spared Tak a brief glance. "As if I wanted to do that with her."

Tak wished to say something biting but kept herself silent instead when she heard from Skoodge as he gave a report. "Zim? Did you hear that?"

Cursing in Irken, Zim gritted his teeth. "Protect your son and don't engage in that battle, Tak, that is an order." To Skoodge he issued a separate order.

Zim felt his own planet from under his feet. Felt what was happening right now and began to feel like a failure and hated it. He was Zim after all. He got what he wanted and he desired more with his own relationship. He wanted more with his own kind. Glancing over to Tak briefly he needed her in this battle suddenly.

"Pressner. Send Jack to the void with Tenn! I need Tak's expertise now." Zim demanded.

Pressner looked to Jack sending him away and telepathically telling Tenn to take care of the smeet so his mother can join the fight. "Good luck." He told her.

Tak hated having her smeet being sent away but she needed to protect him. Protect their own kind. Studying her own mate, Tak will inform him later of her being pregnant again. "I love you Dib."

"Love you too Tak. Please be careful!" Dib managed a small smile.

After battle and when they win she wondered if she can get him to blaze his eyes like that while making love. Alright she knew Dib didn't venture into these thoughts when things like this was occurring so that meant it was obviously her and probably Gaz knowing how much she craved violence. She dared not think of what Zim may be thinking.

Walking towards the exit, Tak looked behind her before she joined the fray outside.


Now that Tenn had Jack to take care of she wondered if there was any way of figuring out how to look in on her planet from here. She wished she would of thought to ask so glancing at Novem and Jack interacting together she wondered if she could do something more as she touched her son's back while concentrating on Irk.

"Look." Jack told her.

Opening her eyes up, Tenn's mouth dropped open at not only seeing the serpent being torn apart bit by bit, but how the Armada and every Irken soldier was fighting the Plegerin soldiers. Those beings have powers and while some fought, others just snapped their fingers to destroy some of her own kind. Standing up she went to get closer to the image while remembering something Pressner told her.

"I need to send a message to Pressner." She spoke out loud turning to regard her son again. "I can't keep using you to bridge over to him when I'm afraid of harming you."

"The newborns come back." Jack stood up before pointed to Novem. "Weak for now."

Her antenna quirked up more. "Can you help me then, Jack?"

Putting his hand out to her, Tenn got the hint as she let him rest his small claw in hers. Seeing how he looked to Novem, she touched his arm.

"Concentrate." Jack bade.

He sounded like his dad right now, Tenn smiled at the thought as she concentrated on Pressner since he'll know where they are all hidden. She feels his surprise from her calling before worry sets in knowing she had to settle his nerves down.

"I'm ok right now. Pressner I see what is going on Irk. They are making short work against my kind." She couldn't help but let him feel her own worry.

Pressner inwardly flinched. "The serpent is almost gone but there is still so much to do. Zim senses the discord from his soldiers and I fear it is wearing him down too quickly. Miyuki is trying her best to maintain her worry along with Dib. As for Gaz she is thinking of flaying Psyllic piece by piece."

"Some things don't change with her and I have to wish I can do that too." Taking a deep breath she informed him why she called giving him her idea.

Thinking about it would help the Irkens but it would mean putting assassins in their midst after he gave them their memories back briefly till he made them go back to their normal lives hoping that it didn't do anything far more damaging in the future. "I'll do it, Tenn, and then I'll send them back to their lives again."

"Thank you." She can feel his distress at the possibility of sending all those grown adults back into a realm to kill others and praying they won't regain their memories again once he brought them back. He wasn't afraid of loosing his status, he was actually afraid of them gaining their heritage back fully and to become his own fully hated kind. "I love you."

"I love you too, Tenn. I must cut this off so I can do that. Wish me luck." Pressner cut her off almost trying not to falter. Tenn felt his inner thoughts fully and he was more exposed then ever. He had to inform Zim of incoming help. Warn him that more red toothed bastards will be on the way. He long ago got rid of any traces of his heritage so they can live their normal lives but now he had to put it back just to let the Plegerins know that they mean business.


Tak was doing a great job at avoiding all of them from trying to kill her as she issued out her orders hating some of her own kind for becoming too cowardly in the face of battle. This is one of the things they were bred for and they were trying to run away. It sickened her as she openly sneered at them while still attacking the enemy against powers a lot of them don't have. This is probably why they were becoming foolish.

They weren't trained for this.

Zim might get a clue from today that new protocols needed to be set in place to tackle things like this in the future or they will be doomed. They are trying to fight for their existence and yet they wanted to kiss their own asses good bye.

"We are fighting for Irk! Don't you bastards care enough about yourselves to fight for the planet you love? The planet you are proud of?" Tak cried out as one of her pak legs stabbed one of the soldiers in the face. Oh good the Plegerins have a weakness and that is their ugly faces.

Watching the Plegerin shudder on the ground before expiring, Tak grinned. "Stab them in the face!"

"We are still outnumbered!" Came one of her own behind her.

Tak spared him the briefest of glances as she openly glared at him. "Then I guess your cowardice will be paid in your own blood if you wish to give up so easily."

Turning her head back, Tak spotted more Plegerins arriving making her annoyed to no end till others came to join the fray. Others with red teeth and a nasty attitude as they started fighting. Tak blinked as she searched her memory hearing that Pressner was the last of his kind. Soon Zim's voice filled her in on the arrivals making her both relieved and worried. Does this mean that the assassin's race was somehow replenished? Does this mean after the Plegerins they have to fight these guys?

Aggravated she decided to fight her frustrations out on the enemy. At least that made excellent exercise, she thought.


I didn't know how to address everyone right now except for one privately reminding me of something. Thanks Ngrey for that. I need to start typing again so I won't post for a bit. Thanks for the reviews folks.
