No this is not a version of the series ender that Jhonen wanted to do. This is my idea for what brought about the creation of everyone's favorite bigheaded paranormal investigator. Most of the story was written a LONG time ago so its not the greatest but anyway please enjoy and don't flame!
INVADER DIB!
Dib blinked a few times. The room slowly began to come into focus. He was one a corm table in a purple room. There were no windows and he saw only one door. Slowly Dib slid off the table and inched toward the door. His head felt heavy and seemed to long for a bed. Dib's eyes felt heavy and his limbs were tired. It was probably late at night. He didn't know where he was but he knew he didn't want to be there. The walls were made of shiny purple steel. It could be one of Zim's labs. The alien might have captured him, and that's why he had no recollection of how he got there. The last thing he remembered was laying in bed and being angry about his latest camera. Dib had to get out of wherever he was.
There a was noise outside the door, Dib froze. It was voices. More than one? The door slid open. Two thin aliens stepped in. thy both had gray skin, huge heads and big eyes and were wearing black outfits. Dib stumbled back into the table. His head banged into the metal with a loud, CLINK, and CLUNK as he fell.
What happened next Dib never would have guessed in a thousand years to be their reaction. The beings raced over and asked, "Dib are you all right? Do you require medical attention?" he just looked at it, "What?"
"He's hurt! It may be a concussion some one get ice!" the first alien screamed out the door. Dib's eyes twitched, he inched back, "Why did you aliens kidnap me?"
"Kidnap?" the alien asked cocking it's head to the side, "Dear child this is merely your four year check-up. We need to see your progress and make sure that your health has faired well over the years." It said all this as though Dib should know it already.
"Why me? Why did you abduct me? Is it cause I'm a genius? Or something else? Not it's my genius, isn't it?" The aliens looked at each other and one mumbled something behind its hand, "…doesn't remember…" and the other nodded.
"Dib," one began slowly, "What do you think you are?"
"A human…" he said slowly. Before he finished the creature was already shaking its large head.
"Dib you are no human. You never were." It stared at him for a moment allowing this to sink in, "You're a hybrid. Well not even that you're a D.I.B: Destroyer Incognito Boy. You're a creation of my people and the one known as Membrane."
"But…but… So I'm not a…? and Dad's not…? And, and Gaz…?" Dib stuttered unable to finish a thought before moving on to the next. The alien didn't need the last word or two of the sentence to answer his questions, "No, you're not a human. Yes, your dad is still your dad. It was his DNA that we used to create you. And your sister Gaz is in fact your sister. We feared that despite your obvious superiority to this species that you may still be unable to...be successful in your…mission. Utilizing some more Membrane DNA we created the one we have affectionately dubbed Gaz: well her name doesn't stand for anything, it's just cool sounding." The other alien nodded, "Yeah, cool," it agreed.
"I…why did you create us? What's our purpose…to protect the earth? It's that right?" he asked hopefully. The alien cocked a thin brow.
"Uh, no. You're here for a much higher calling then to preserve the life of these primitive monkeys…"
"If they're so primitive why did you use human DNA to make me…?" he asked staring at his pale hands. Being an alien was beginning to make things make a lot more sense. He had always been an outsider, he had always been smarter than his fellow man to an obnoxious level, it all made sense except… why did he feel the need to protect them? It had to be part of his mission.
"Our species is a weak one in certain aspects. We are easily wiped out by illness, even the healthy ones only have a forty-year life expectancy. Humans can defeat even the harshest of illnesses and they have the capability to live for over a hundred years! Some like Membrane are even close to being our intellectual equals. Not quite but close. Also we had to have you blend in and creating a synthetic disguise that would grow with you would have been difficult. So this was logical."
"Oh. How come Dad never told us?" he paused a moment, "And is Gaz here too?" he asked not sure if he wanted her there or not. It would be cool to rub in her face that his obsession with aliens had not been all for not. It was like their heritage. Dib was becoming more comfortable with this possibility.
"He never told you because he does not recall our intervention. He was looking to create some children for himself. I can only guess he viewed raising a child like a long-term psychological experiment. But we were able to persuade him into letting us do the work in making you. We sort of…fixed his brain to think it had done it himself. He believes that you two were created by him single handedly. And yes your sister is here. She's in another room being tested on right now. Incredible that strength…it does not seem to come from either of our species. I suppose we can thank the scientists for that bonus!" it chuckled. Dib laughed weakly he didn't always like having such a strong sister. Especially when she was beating him within an inch of his life.
"So…" he said slowly everything beginning to come in to focus, "I was designed to be super intelligent and come up with great plans and Gaz was to be like the muscle?"
"More or less." The dark eyed alien nodded, "Except, we have a problem Dib." Its voice became grave and its eyes narrowed. Did stared for a moment before a single word escaped his lip as it was conceived in his mind.
"Zim."
"That's right. The Irkens though stupid and useless in most practical ways are trying to take over the universe every planet simultaneously. We, being more intelligent than that put probes on only the most useful planets to be conquered. If Zim succeeded your entire life's work will be all for not. We cannot let that happen. You know what you must do." Behind his glasses Dib's eyes narrowed. He opened his mouth to speak but the words rang through the room without him uttering a word.
"We have to destroy Zim." Gaz said. Dib whipped his head around and stared wide eyed at his sister. She wasn't wearing her trademark outfit. She was suited up in knee light shiny leather boots, purple tights, and a black dress with a thick silver belt that resembled Batman's utility belt. Only not tacky and ugly. On the buckle there was a skull, it was familiar. Dib recognized it as the one Gaz always wore around her neck. She had no sleeves but rather purple gloves that nearly reached her shoulders.
"Gaz?" Dib asked his eyes wide. She nodded toward him and saluted the alien, "Sir." She said. The alien smiled kindly, "Gaz we've been through this there is no need for such formalities. You are like a daughter to us."
"Yeah one that you've abandoned on earth for a decade!" she growled, "I've been waiting for your return and final word to act but…but YOU NEVER CAME BACK FOR US!" she jammed a gloved finger in the creature's face.
"It wasn't time yet. It still isn't but you two have work to do." It placed its hand over hers and lowered it. Dib's eyes were wide which matched his mouth that could have been used to catch flies.
"You…you knew?" Dib asked horrified.
"Duh." Gaz said, "You're the obsessed one I'm surprised it took YOU so long to find out."
"But…but you always called me crazy!" he shouted.
"Just cause your right doesn't make you any less insane." She muttered crossing her thin arms over her chest. The monster cleared its throat.
"Erm moving on. Dib you've got to fulfill your destiny. You were created to be able to take on an entire planet. Think of this Irken as practice." It grinned darkly, "because once you finish with earth your going to have a high place in our army. You will be virtually leading our people to bring about the destruction of the Irkens."
"W-when I'm done with earth?" Dib repeated starting to really get a grasp of everything. He was Destroyer Incognito Boy. He was a menace, an instrument of destruction and chaos. Everything he had worked for since infancy was a lie. He in his existence was a lie. Dib blinked slowly and muttered, "Well this blows."
