Battles are never pretty. Oh there are enough stories written about them, some with pretty sonnets that try to hide the hidden horror of it, but who are they fooling? It doesn't matter if you have no powers or do have powers, because the results are still the same. There is still death and destruction. There is both good and bad, but there is always an argument onto which side is which.
When the Irkens invaded Earth, it truly wasn't that pretty. You did know who the bad guys were automatically. They were the ones who invaded that planet in the first place. When, Zim first came down it was under the guise of a fake mission, when in truth, it was his banishment. The hopes for him to die. But since this is Zim, he never will lay down and just quit. He is in fact, indestructible. Zim turned out to be stronger than the rest of his kind. He was always unique. Something he knew himself early on, even if he didn't know the true parameters of it.
When he finally came to be a Tallest, and was initially denied by, Gaz. Zim decided to bring forth his invasion. It was anything to obtain what he wanted, which was ultimately her. He didn't care after some time on that planet to actually rule it. All he wanted was one thing. Of course having many of his own rest admiring him in his battle skills, helped. Yes, he killed some humans, just like they killed his own soldiers. Yes, he enslaved some of the humans. Humans he ended up returning. They were for show anyhow. When he finally got, Gaz, he was thrilled. Sure she faked her own death. She wasn't ready. When she became ready, Zim had himself a fiercely loyal wife.
Of course in the deal, he obtained, Dib as a brother-in-law, by Earth terms. As, Zim fought now against a hated half-brother, while the rest of his group took up arms, Zim found himself reflecting while deflecting blows. Zim watched how the former Tallest, Miyuki, calmly fought. She was still very graceful in her movements; Movements Gaz adopted into her own genes, but Gaz was far more deadlier. Mother and daughter were highly calculating. In truth, if they weren't fighting right now, Zim would take his wife into their bedroom for further consummating. He will admit that he is highly addicted to her.
Zim, knew, Dib's skills in fighting. Knew his techniques of hand to hand. The only thing that became different now is his newly found powers. If Dib knew he had those powers so long ago, their school room fights would blow up that entire useless school. Actually that wouldn't be so bad. For years they have fought against the other. For years, Zim hated him, just like Dib hated him. For years, they would end up fighting together if need be. Gaz told him in private recently that they mostly seemed like frenemies. Zim couldn't deny it. He did have some respect for her brother. He had to think that without, Dib, he'd probably not be on his toes as much. He'd probably give up if not for, Dib. Without him, he wouldn't of met his, little Gaz.
As Zim spared a look over to, Dib, he saw someone who mastered what he was capable of. It truly was a sight too. Dib was very smart and also very calculating. He was aware of what was happening to him.
Pressner will be what he called a huge surprise. Zim knew he was doing it for, Tenn and their smeet. Pressner was showing those assassin skills with so much grace and fluidity, that he understood too well why became number one in his field. Pressner showed a hatred towards beings that kill off innocent children. It was something never known until now. He showed himself to be a protector of innocents. To know the number of how many of those he hidden away got even, Dib to scratch his head. Zim saw utter hatred in, Pressner's eyes as he continued to fight. There was no joy written there, especially when Zim caught him looking towards the place where, Tenn was kept. Zim knew that just like, Gaz and Tak, Tenn would hate to be looked at like a damsel in distress.
As for the Armada, that was currently surrounding the atmosphere, Zim knew it was the best time to begin the sweep along the furthest sections away from the battle. So as he delivered a strong punch to, Psyllic's head, Zim sent a private signal to Tak and Skoodge to start. By, Psyllic's expression, Zim grinned toothily at him.
"Gotcha." Zim spoke evilly loving the ire that rose further from his opponent.
Psyllic felt the power from beneath his feet. Knew that the power generated from that ship was a combination of their own technology, Pressner, and lastly Zim. He refused to believe that he was related to him. Hated him even more now than before. He felt it ironic that he could hate, Zim, but not the Membrane's. He certainly couldn't stand their own mother. A mother that wasn't as deadly as her own daughter by the damage, Gaz was doing. Gaz even had a smirk playing on her face as each of his own were cut down. Still he couldn't hate her.
Seeing a distraction when, Dib shot forward, Psyllic powered up a whip from thin air to ensnare, Dib. He would of succeeded if, Zim didn't prevent the attack.
"Uh uh." Zim waggled his clawed digit in front of him. "I still need, Dib to spar with in the future." A little louder, he yelled out. "Isn't that correct, Dib-stink?"
Surprising someone with a hatchet forming from his hand, Dib cut the current enemy that stood in his way, right at the neck before he can form his reply. "Correct, space boy!"
Zim winked at the moron in front of him. "We know one another so well."
Psyllic would of thought to get him all cocky to throw him off, but Zim excelled in cocky 24 hours a day resorting in someone seemingly aware of everything around him. He knew he had a weakness and with an evil smile, Psyllic stomped down on the ground hard.
"Must be River dance time." Gaz quipped as she effortlessly did a backflip over someone's shoulders, stabbing them from up top through their head.
Dib felt something beneath him. Quickly he focused his attention towards his sister hoping she was feeling it too. There was far too many surrounding them, and though he wasn't tired, he had a feeling another emotional trauma would be too much. Especially when he watched at how Gaz's eyes widened to see a pair of decomposed hand reach out to her from below. Dib watched at how she was fighting against the pull. Gaz was strong, this Dib knew all too well, but that plaintive look she shot towards him made him act.
"Zim!" Dib called out frantically. He went to help her as she was swallowed into the surface. Gaz was fighting, but he saw her weakening from what was happening. No! He can't lose his sister in this.
Zim narrowed his eyes towards, Psyllic. He had a choice right now as he took a step back. Zim caught, Pressner's expression, and saw him about to act.
"Death is my specialty." Pressner took a run quickly before diving into the soil of the planet.
Zim watched at how, Psyllic blinked. Taking the opportunity, Zim stabbed him hard with his pak legs making sure to severe most of his nerves and muscles. His teeth were gritted more harder than before.
"She dies, and you'll see several lifetimes of you dying before being reborn again. Over and over and over." Zim promised.
Miyuki went to calmly access the scene as she felt the vibrations under her. Producing a long staff, she cut into the ground to make it more like lucite. From her advantage, she watched at Pressner engaged the being that was holding, Gaz down. Watched at how they both fought it before, Pressner grabbed, Gaz, and pulled her back up to the surface.
"Damn bitch." Gaz muttered out as she issued a very silent thank you to him.
"Matronly. Old ruler of this establishment." Pressner informed her. "Let's kill off this race, shall we?"
Gaz didn't need him to ask her twice as they went about their business. "Zim, you think it is about time to abandon ship? You know, since more Armada ships have joined in on the sweep."
Zim loved hearing her voice in his head again. "We will, my demoness. Right now I'm carving out this cake." To accentuate his point, Zim ripped through, Psyllic's limb.
Gaz felt the joy from him as he did that to that smurf. Can he be anymore sexier? "Will you cut off a piece for me then?" She purred out.
Zim smirked at her tone while he lowered himself a bit more to, Psyllic. "My wife. You know, the one who wants to be with me only. Wants me to give her a present."
Psyllic's mind wandered. He felt his planet dying beneath him. How was he so easily defeated. "There will be more that will defy you, Irkens. This I promise you."
Grinning wide, Zim ripped into his leg as he enjoyed him crying out. "Good. I welcome it." Zim was never one to back down from a challenge.
Feeling his claw slam into his head, Psyllic began to yell out. It felt like his insides were being scrambled. Felt how much stronger that, Zim became. It sickened him.
Miyuki examined the scene noticing that, Pressner disappeared. "Where's, Pressner?" She yelled out.
Dib regarded her as, Gaz and himself stood side by side. They had to eliminate or at least subdue them for the sweep to finally kill off this race fully. This still left the planet to be dealt with to kill off any possibility. Dib saw that one thing was missing in this battle: Elias.
