A/N: Here it is the final chapter. Not long, not very exciting but just a way to wrap this up.

Chapter 24: Ascension

Things had progressed relatively quickly in the past two week's. Earth was firmly under the heel of the great Irken Empire. The reconstruction process was also going well as the old human cities were torn down to pave the way for the new factory cities and compounds. The majority of the human race had also become relatively docile with only scattered pockets of resistance left There was only one last things left for a certain irken to do.

Zim found himself most annoyed at Tak's slowness. "Are you ready yet? You've been in there for 40 minutes, the coronation starts in 10 minutes".

"Oh do shut up Zim, I will take as much time as I need, I am after all Queen and must look the part"

Why do I love a female who is this much of an annoyance? Zim asked himself as he waited for Tak.

"By the way Zim what will the Tallest say our name is? After all we must have a last name".

"I've thoughtof that, in the past when irkens still took mates they lived in clan's. I've decided on a suitable clan name for when the Tallest announce us".

"Well how do I look?"

Zim was visually taken back, there was Tak in a dark purple silk dress with gold embroidery. "You look amazing my love now we must get into position".

10 minutes later the throne chamber of the newly build royal palace

"Citizens of the great Irken Empire it is my ………………………………………….. hon…………………duty to announce the new ruler of Earth who will govern it on behalf of the great Irken Empire" Red announced as the doors swung open and out walked Zim and Tak. As they walked to the twin thrones Zim noticed as the irkens in the room bowed before his presence, this I can get use too. As they approached the thrones Zim could see how annoyed Red and Purple where. As they got to the thrones Zim and Tak sad down as two servers prepared to crown them.

"Humans I give you your new master's King and Queen………………………." Red stopped for a minute looking at what Zim had wrote down. "I present King and Queen ZATR" as Red finished the server placed the crowns on Zim and Tak. Red the turned to Zim and in a quiet voice said "This planet is important don't screw up" before exiting with Purple.

Tak holding Taz in one arm held Zim's hand and said "What now my love?"

"Well our subjects are waiting" Zim said as he got up to make a speech.

--

It had already been 30 minutes and still no word from Skoodge. "Server any communication from General Skoodge?"

"Negative my lord, there is still fighting going on"

This human group must be really dug in of there still fighting Zim thought.

"My lord a transmission is coming in from General Skoodge"

"Open channel" Zim said turning to the main screen as Skoodge appeared on it.

"My lord the battle is won. This was no meagre cell this was their global operations and HQ and primary base. Most of the human fighters have been killed and the rest are captured but we suffered heavy losses and I've sent for another battalion to help secure the area".

"That's good old friend, have the surviving humans executed publicly at noon, I expect a full report of the battle in 8 hours" Zim said getting up but as he was about to leave Skoodge interrupted him.

"My Lord I'm not finished"

"What else?" Zim said.

"The fighters also had their families with them, we have uncovered and entire hidden city and all of them share the same view as the ones we killed, do we kill them too?"

Zim thought for a long time and what to do and turning to Skoodge said "Have their families sent to the mines of Mars"

"It will be done my lord" Skoodge said saluting before terminating the transmission.

Having dismissed hi guards Zim walked back up to his room and saw Tak and Taz sleeping. Zim went to the bed and lay beside his mate and son.

"Zim is everything fine?"

"There is nothing to worry about my love, I have taken care of everything, now go to sleep" Zim said before closing his eyes.

I have ideas for what do to next from a story about just how Dib got to all those differnt places as he seemed to just pop in everywhere with no explination to the adventures of Taz and his romance to...well ill keep that my secret for now. So stay tuned.
