One Month Later
The Resisty had successfully navigated through the Irkens territory and was just about to enter the Earth's atmosphere. Zim was practically at the edge of his chair ready to jump out the moment they got to the Earth's surface. But there was no way he was going to mess up the mission because of his excitement, so he stayed. This will, after all, be the start of the turning point in the ongoing war of the universe.
On Earth
G.I.R. giggled at the T.V. screen in front of him.Whatever he found so amusing about that monkey show, Dib will never understand. Why he let G.I.R. have control of the remote is an even better question. For the last month Dib could usually be found on the couch watching re-runs of 'LegendCrushers' and 'Mysterious Mysteries' , unable to find anything better to do with his free time. The front door opened and slammed closed signaling Gaz's arrival from school. She came to Dib's side of the couch with a sneer.
"Why don't you get out and get a job?" She yelled into his ear, pushed G.I.R. off the couch and stole the remote quickly scrolling through the thousands of channels, but not seeming to even remotely like one.
"Hi Gazzy!" G.I.R. screamed into the floor where his face was still implanted. Dib raised an eyebrow at Gaz. The roughness was a usual thing, but the acknowledgement of Dib's existence was new.
"Bad day?" Dib asked, mentally slapping himself for saying anything. As if Gaz would ever want to talk about her day to him, or anyone for that matter.
"Would you just shut the hell up? Your voice is so annoying! Leave me alone!" She shouted at him unusually loud, even for her. 'Geez, what crawled up her a-OH! It's that time of month isn't it? Maybe I should get out of the house. It's obviously not safe here.'
"Come on, G.I.R." Dib said getting up, and headed towards the stairs deciding to give Gaz her space. Just as Dib had reached his bedroom door a soft thud was heard from inside his room.
Getting to Earth had been a piece of cake! The Resisty had just strolled right through the atmosphere completely unnoticed. The next step had been just as easy. Simply looking up on what the humans called 'the internet' to find the location of Membrane's son, known as Dib.
Now came the hard part. Zim had no way of knowing how to approach the actual capture of Dib Membrane. He knew the Professor had left Earth on the Massive one Earth month ago, but that was about it. There was no way of knowing whether he left his son heavily guarded or not and if he and the rest of the crew could escape with Dib without causing much of a commotion, preferably no commotion at all. As Zim was thinking about this the ship lazily came to a stop next to Membrane's home.
"Orders, Sir?" At Lard Nar's voice Zim snapped out of his thoughts only to be met with the expecting looks from his crew.
"Um, Spleenk, Shloonktapooxis, and Ixane." Each of the members called look in attention to Zim. "I trust you three with the task of capturing Dib Membrane in the quickest and quietest way possible."
"Yes, Sir." All three said in unison. After getting a few weapons and cuffs they left from the entrance of the ship to a window of the house. Ixane checked the room through the window first. Once she gave the all clear they moved in. Ixane sliding in smoothly and Shloonktapooxis floating through the window hardly made any noise at all. But, due to Spleenk's clumsiness he, anything but gracefully, fell into the room landing flat on his face with a thud.
Spleek quickly got up, hoping he hadn't compromised the mission. Three pairs of eyes simultaneously went to the room's door at the sound of the knob turning, causing the three aliens to freeze in panic.
Dib was met with three very unique looking creatures he immediately recognized as aliens. Though not any he's ever seen before. The one closest to the window was very tall, had four arms, but only two fingers on each hand and was wearing a strange green outfit. Another looked oddly like a floating cone with a face. The last was completely concealed in a purple cloak, yet you could still see her piercing blue eyes.
Dib could only stand there stupidly in surprise at them, while the aliens seemed to do the exact same thing right back at him. It had stayed like that for several moments before the silence was finally broken.
"I like you!" G.I.R. had apparently decided to introduce himself by latching onto the tall one's leg.
"G.I.R.!" Dib snapped before he could stop himself. The robot let go and waddled back to his master, only to latch onto Dib's leg.
The aliens all looked at each other before the cloaked one asked, "Is he the one?" to the other two. It was just then that they realized that they don't even know what Dib Membrane looks like.
'What do they want?' Dib wondered. "GAZ!" He called, backing up a bit.
"I thought I told you to LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"But Gaz, there are aliens in-!"
"Dib, if you don't shut up now a broken nose will be the HIGHLIGHT of your day!" All three aliens' eyes widened when Gaz said his name, but it was unnoticed by Dib who was now looking in the direction of his sister. Ixane took the opportunity, moved forward, and raised her gun with the back facing Dib's head.
'Oh, right, PMSing.' Dib remembered. And then everything went black.
The three Resisty members cuffed his arms behind his back and lugged Dib's unconscious body to the ship along with G.I.R. who had refused to let go of his master's leg. Once on board they were crowded by the rest of the crew who were hoping to get a glimpse of the human.
"Hey! Get out of the way!" They quickly moved out of their captain's way at his command. Zim looked down curiously at the human, being he had never seen one in person before. Zim sneered at how weak it looked. 'No wonder the humans need to protect themselves with technology. It probably wouldn't even stand a chance fighting in basic hand-to-hand combat. And what's with the size of that head! Do all humans have heads that big?' That's was when Zim noticed the small robot on the humans leg staring up at him.
"Is that a S.I.R?" Zim asked no one in particular.
"Hi there Mr. Asparagus!" Zim's antenna twitched in annoyance at the robot's voice. 'They're giving S.I.R. Units to humans now?' Zim pondered.
"Ixane, lock them both in room 46B. The rest of you start the ship and get us out of here." Zim ordered, deciding not to dwell on the strange S.I.R. Unit. A wide smirk crossed Zim's face as he thought of the wonderful victory that will eventually come.
Dib's eyes snapped open to see periwinkle. Lots and lots of periwinkle. 'This is not my room.' Was Dib's immediate thought. He cried out when he quickly sat up and a stinging pain was registered in the back of Dib's head. His hands flew up to cradle his head, but quickly removed them from touching the huge, sensitive bruise that had formed there. 'What the hell!'
"Big Head! Your ghost has come back to its body!" Dib winced when he turned his head to see G.I.R. sitting on the floor across the room with a stupid smile on his face and nothing else. The room was completely empty besides G.I.R., himself, and the bed he was on that might as well have been the floor. Slowly Dib turned his head back to the wall in front of him. 'Okay, so, I'm in a small, ugly colored room that has NO windows or doors, I have a horrible pain in the back of my head, and G.I.R.'s here. Yup, it's a nightmare. Now how do I wake up?' Just as Dib had thought of trying to pinch himself despite the already obviously real pain he was feeling the middle of the wall in front of him appeared to split apart to reveal an Irken.
Dib sucked in a gasp at the sudden appearance, but quickly recovered to look the Irken up and down. He was different from the others Dib's seen; probably because they all looked the same to him and it didn't help that they all wear the same outfit. Instead of dull red, pink or blue, this one had lively magenta eyes that were staring at straight at Dib. He took two steps into the room making loud clacks on the metal floor which made Dib look down and see the Irken had metal on the bottom of his boots.
"Good to see you're finally awake, Dib." And then Dib instantly hated this Irken. He hated his attitude, his voice, and he especially hated the way he so causally addressed him by his name.
"What do you want?" Dib barked angrily at Zim. Zim's eyes narrowed at the furious human not liking the tone it was giving him.
"Isn't it obvious?" Zim asked. "This is a simple kidnapping. We kidnap you, threaten your life for our demands, which will be met, to your father, and get what we all want. But I see no reason to tell you exactly what it is we want as I expect this all to be over quite soon." Zim finished with an evil smirk.
"This is treason to the Irken Empire! When the Tallest and my father find out they'll-!"
"They won't do anything as long as we have you." Zim interrupted. 'Zim knew it! These humans are just as bad as the Irkens, not caring about anyone but themselves.' Zim started walking back out of the room when Dib called him back.
"Well if all you needed was me why did you bring him?" Dib said pointing at G.I.R. who was looking between them.
"He wouldn't let go of your leg." Zim said simply before going completely out of the room, the wall closing behind him.
"AWWW! Is you making new friends?" G.I.R. asked Dib. Dib glared at the wall were the Irken had been standing.
"No, G.I.R., he's like all the other Irkens who just take whatever the hell they want." Dib replied, minding his bruise as he lay back down. "Why the hell did this have to happen to me?" Dib asked himself before closing his eyes.
