Topic: Invasion (Dangerwolf1 & JimothyKudos )

[JimothyKudos]

"There are more humans hiding? Hiding. Not fighting. Where?" Dib knew most of his own contacts from the Swollen Eyeball Network had been compromised. Hell, he was even sure some of them had been killed or went down by their own hands while trying to take out as many Irkens as they can. Agent Darkbootie had been one of them. "There's more Irkens than there are humans. It's still not a high probability that we would win. We can't heal fast at all, we're very easy to kill."

He didn't know what to think other than believing this to be some sort of act. Dib was sure he might be the only human left in this city that hadn't been captured. Zim mentioned a 'friend' and even that was hard to believe. Studying how Irkens acted, it wasn't as if they seemed to have any kind of friendships with one another either. They were here only to destroy and enslave, working together as one. Dib rose an eyebrow when Zim mentioned him helping others that treated him badly. "Oh. That was you that I fought? Yeah, I protected them. Because they're human, not nasty little genocidal bugs like your kind."

The risk. Should he take it? He still wouldn't believe this wasn't a trap. He might as well walk directly to the massive ship and surrender himself. That's how it would feel like if he took this risk with Zim. Dib chewed on his bottom lip, trying to think. What else could he do? He shook his head. "We're not going directly to that ship. You're going to take me to the other humans hiding if you know where they are and if you pull any funny business, you're going to let me end you by taking your Pak."

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim nodded his head ”Your planet is different from others Zim has seen most just look out for themselves and don’t care about others enough to throw their life’s on the line. After the confrontation with you Zim found some younger humans but before Zim could even touch them an older female ran up between Zim begging to spare them and take her instead…Zim couldn’t do anything and in his shocked state saw another Irken rushing forward Zim didn’t even think before firing a shot into the Irken’s head and quickly led the human and her offspring away to hide…Zim can show you where some other humans are hiding plus that might help ease your tension with Zim” he said and shook his head as the human talked about the Massive ”no Zim is not going to take you there that would not end well plus the humans are not kept on the Massive anyway”

[JimothyKudos]

Dib scoffed at Zim saying most other planets only cared for themselves. He doubted that. "There has to be billions of planets with life on it. I doubt all of them are selfish and even if they were, why's it bad to want to survive being killed or avoid being enslaved? It's like you're blaming them for wanting to live, wanting to stay free. Not only the families but people who don't throw their lives on the line for everyone else."

Finally, he was able to settle down at least a little. Zim had many chances to attack him but hadn't taken it. "Are you going to agree to me ending you by taking your Pak if I think you're pulling any funny business or not?" He grabbed his water blaster from where it was and opened the window in the kitchen to hold it out to fill it. The best water to hurt the Irkens was rain water and anything else from the outside. His sink water was only a bit of a nuisance more than an actual threat.

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim gave a shrug not really having an answer to Dib’s question about other planets. ”No not blaming them but Zim has heard of and seen some terrible things in his life but that doesn’t really matter what matters is this planet right now. “ he tilted his head with an antenna up in question ”so you want Zim to agree to letting you kill him a slow and painful death if you think Zim is trying to do something bad…sounds stupid to Zim what if you think Zim is planning something bad when he really is not. You’ve got a weapon Zim made it himself it sends out an electric charge that will scramble an Irken’s pak it’ll take about 9 minutes for the Pak to reboot and the Irken to wake and another 20 minutes or so to be able to move after wards…but if the only way your going to take the risk is for Zim to agree to this then so be it”

[JimothyKudos]

Dib nodded to confirm he wanted to be the one that ended Zim's life if he tried anything. "I'll be keeping my eye on you the whole time. I think I know what's suspicious or not." He looked down at the weapon when Zim was describing what it does. "So all I have to do is hit an Irken with it anywhere? Or do I have to hit the Pak specifically? Why do you have a weapon like this?"

[Dangerwolf1]

"As annoying as that is I guess it's whatever. Something or someone is going to end Zim's life anyway he's been to lucky to escape death so many times. Guess Zim would rather die at the hands of someone that is not Irken...Or Skoodge. Skoodge could kill Zim too" He said and gave a shrug. He glanced at the weapon and gave a nod "Yup just shoot as long as it hits the irken it'll have the same effect no mater where it hits...Zim told you the others try to kill him so Zim must protect himself." He antennas twitched and he jerked his head to the side to stare out into the rain. Narrowing his eyes he could see red lights in the distance. There was a slight shaking of the ground to indicate something large approaching. "...It's a doom bot..."
"Attention all remaining humans of the area this is a last warning to show yourself. We will begin flattening the area in one hour. This is your only warning." A loud megaphone voice boomed in the area.
There was a ringing noise from Zim's pak and a communication device pulled out as Zim turned and moved so the wall was his back ground.
"Zim where the Hell are you?! You little defective your in big trouble"
"Tak always a pleasure, not what does Tak mean Zim's in trouble?"
"Do not play dumb...No wait you can't your already dumb" The female snarled out.
Zim rolled his eyes "The only ones dumb around here are you all. Being controlled listening to orders without a second thought."
"We are soldiers Zim! Orders are normal. You are a traitor a dirty defective traitor. That deserves to perish" There was an explosion and laughter as Tak thought she attacked a building with Zim in it.
Zim's lips slowly pulled back as a mad laughter escaped him
"Huh? Wait how are you..." There was a much louder explosion before the connection was just static.
"Don't under estimate Zim. Good bye Tak" He chuckled out and glanced back out the window as he watching the now burning doom bot fall over and listened to shouts of irkens though it was raining they were running to the scene.
Zim brought a bracelet to his mouth "Gir did you survive that"
"Weee That was fun!"
"Return to Zim Gir"
"Yes Master!"

[JimothyKudos]

Dib rolled his eyes and pulled his water blaster back in when it was filled completely. He closed the top and placed it back on his belt. "Your so-called friend would really be okay with killing you? I wouldn't be surprised." He placed the new weapon into his belt as well and looked to the window, having noticed the red lights. He ran over to shut the drapes so no one could look in and find them. He hardly ever used lights in the house for the very reason of not being caught. He listened to the announcement and frowned, hoping there weren't any more humans in this area but an hour... He would need to start packing what he needed if that were the case.

He looked to Zim as a ringing sounded out after and watched him take a call, staying where he was and staying as quiet as possible as he listened in. Dib glanced back as he heard explosions nearby. Dib scowled when Zim went back to the window and he moved toward him to pull him away. "Don't get us caught. What's that?" He looked down at his bracelet and heard another voice coming through. "No, no, no. Tell that thing to meet us somewhere else. It sounds way too loud and I don't want it leading them right to my place." He let go of Zim and looked around. "I need to pack and then we can move on."

[Dangerwolf1]

"No he wouldn't be ok with it but if he had to to survive then Zim would want him to" He said and shook his head as the human pulled him away from the window "Zim is not going to get us caught. The doom bot blew up because of a trap Zim set by using his SIR unit to bounce around Zim's pak signal with the call...Leave? But there are humans here...We can't leave yet. Gir is loud when excited but knows when it's best to be quiet. Your worrying a bit to much." He said but brought the braclet back to his mouth "Gir change of plans hide yourself out of sight and stay there till Zim calls for Gir"
"Are we playing a game Master?!"
"Huh? Uh sure its called stay and be quiet...If Gir wins he gets a muffin"
"Yay! Muffin" The call ended again with Zim rubbing at a antenna with a wince
"Gir can be loud at times...So pack up and Zim will show you where the other humans are...Also what's your name?"

[JimothyKudos]

"And how tall is your friend because I've noticed also that you all respect the tallest ones over the shorter ones. I've even seen the bigger ones bully the smaller ones before. It's baffling how any of them can keep any respect toward the bigger ones at all. How hasn't there been a rebellion of unhappy Irkens yet not only the smallest ones but the so-called 'defective' ones too?" He tilted his head, listening to Zim talk about his SIR unit, those he knew as the robots most of the Irkens had. They were annoying to avoid since they had functions that could scan through walls and such. "There are still humans in this city? They're not all caught?"

Dib cringed as the robot on the other end of the call shouted again and he couldn't help but doubt it knew how to be quiet. "Whatever but I'm not supplying the food-" He paused and narrowed his eyes at Zim. "Food for a robot? I didn't know they could eat. Why? It's not like they need it, do they?" Dib picked up the throw blanket from the floor  and went to head to his bedroom to grab a few duffel bags to pack stuff he needed in. He looked to Zim as he asked for his name. "Dib Membrane," he answered before slipping into the bedroom and leaving the door open. He needed to listen in case Zim tried anything.

He took out two sizable duffel bags and got to work on packing his clothes and anything he was sure he would need in one. Dib would make sure the second one was for food that wouldn't go bad from his kitchen.

[Dangerwolf1]

"Hmm very slightly taller then Zim...Yes bullying is common most of the smallers you see were food drones and servants on the Massive so be out doing things is most likely exciting to them though scary as well...Yet no irken would admit to being scared its a emotion Irkens shouldn't have. rebellion? That is not possible. Zim is lucky his pak keeps him from being deactivated but the others would immediately be forced to the control brains to be deactivated. No defective irken survives for long. Irken loyalty is force upon us as soon as were brought to life" He explained before nodding his head "Under ground, Zim made a tunnel for them to hide" He explained his loyalty to the mission had lasted maybe a couple days before his first meeting with Dib after that any chance he got to 'scout' alone without Skoodge he would lead humans he found away and to the tunnels he made for them under ground. "Don't have to Zim has muffins for Gir...No Gir doesn't need to eat but for some reason Gir likes to eat" He said giving a shrug. He watched Dib go before leaning back against the wall once Dib was gone Zim winced raising his top part of his uniform to see a wound bleeding and dark in color he quickly opened his pak and placed gauze over the wound that seemed to not be healing and pulled his uniform back down before Dib could come back to the room. He urged his pak to administer more pain meds which numbed the pain away like it was nothing. He heard the rain slow "Hurry up Zim thinks it's about to stop raining"

[JimothyKudos]

"Food drones? Servants? And they were forced to be doing dangerous things even though they don't have the experience?" Dib grimaced. He hated Irkens, but he kind of felt bad for the ones who weren't used to being the more aggressive invader ones. He felt even more bad to learn that they would be deactivated quickly if they were defective or show signs of rebellion. He shook his head. He didn't want to feel bad for the invasion scourge. Not now anyway. He had to worry about the rest of the humans.

Ah, they were underground. He rose an eyebrow at Zim mentioning he was the one who had made the tunnel... so that meant any humans he finds, they would likely be glad to see Zim. If the Irken was telling the truth, that is. He found the Gir situation weird, a robot that liked to eat. To him, that felt like a waste of food but he kept the comment to himself. As long as he didn't have to give his own rations to Gir, he wouldn't complain. He nodded to Zim before he had disappeared into his room.

It couldn't have even been ten minutes before he heard Zim telling him to hurry up. "Packing takes time! Don't rush me unless you want to help me pack. Come get the second bag and go fill it with un-perishable foods from the kitchen. We can get it done a little faster than just me doing it."

[Dangerwolf1]

He nodded his head "Zim is elite class invader so made to be an invader yet doesn't want to be. It's rare to find defectives among elite class and bad for the empire as Elites are exactly that some of the most powerful and knowledgeable irkens. So of course deactivation normally comes to elites at the very first slight sign of defectiveness...Zim was lucky that Skoodge helped him hide his emotions and even covered for Zim at times...Skoodge is defective Zim is sure of it but not enough to be noticed and it's not Skoodge's loyalty that is defective like Zim's is." He had explained before Dib left to pack.
"Non perishable food?...Dib did learn that Irkens eat for fun and mainly sweet items at that" He said walking into the room to snatch the other bag to cary back to the kitchen and try and figure out the food that should be taken a long with them.

[JimothyKudos]

It was good to get more information about Irkens. Dib was sure to memorize everything that had been said to him. If this whole thing with Zim wasn't a charade and he truly was helping, Skoodge being a defect as well, he wondered if they'd be able to work together but at the same time, Skoodge had loyalty toward the Irken Empire.

Dib narrowed his eyes at Zim as he came in the room and commented that Irkens ate food for fun. "None of it is for you. It's for me. Humans need to eat. It gives us not only energy but it keeps us alive. Water is also really important for us to drink. I don't need to bring any of the sodas but pack away the water bottles, as many that can fit. If we need to loot an empty store later, we'll do so." After Zim left the room, he continued to pack things from his room, stuffing one pillow into the bag and a sleeping bag from his closet. Just in case, he even stuffed an extra blanket in his bag as well.

[Dangerwolf1]

"...No Zim was not commenting about food for him but more so that Zim has little experience with food including what is perishable and what is not...but Zim will try to figure it out if it helps us get moving" He went through cabinets and reading can and items as he packed them. Packing up water bottles and other things till the bag was bulging full and weighed nearly 100 pounds to which Zim had no problem carrying like the bag was a feather. In the fridge Zim saw something of sweet scent and tossed one of the small pieces of chocolate into his mouth eyes widening at the taste as his long tongue licked his lips wanting more of it but moved away instead as there was more important things to do. "Food is packed" He said and put the bag down in the living room.

[JimothyKudos]

"Right. Well, there's expiration dates on most of them. Just choose ones that seem like they'll expire at a really later date. I guess you can pack the snacks and candy too," Dib called out from his bedroom. He double-checked his bedroom and frowned. He really didn't want to leave it all behind to be destroyed but he couldn't do anything about it. He sighed and carried his bag to the bathroom where he packed away several toothbrushes and the toothpastes as well as soap and his shampoo. He didn't know when he'd be able to shower again but he'd like to have it around to take care of his hygiene when he can.

When he was sure he had everything he needed, he went to the kitchen to see what Zim was doing. "How's everything going here?"
