A/N ok…here it is. The last chapter. It's not that long. (gulp)
Chapter 13…doo…I mean, uh, not…doom?
Zim slowly began to open his eyes. He felt very numb, and he found it hard to see. There was a bright light shining above him.
"So this is what its like to be dead?...sucks so far." He thought to himself. Just then the bright glow that shone down on him, like a heavenly force of nature, was slowly eclipsed by a large square shaped thing reminiscent of a head. It had large black things piercing through the top of it. As soon as Zim was ready to question what the hell it was, a pair of very large red eyes opened up and stared at him.
"So, you're finally awake…" The figure said.
"I suppose I am…are you the devil?" Zim asked, not showing much interest.
"Huh?! No! dude I'm a doctor. You're in the medical bay on the Massive." The man said to him. Zim sat up. He was in a stretcher, sitting in the middle of a doctor's office. The doctor himself had unusually thick antennas, and large red eyes.
"Huh? So…I'm not…Dead?" Zim asked, looking at his hands as though they should be transparent or something.
"No man. You're free to go, as soon as possible." The doctor said.
"But…the poison…it-"
"Oh, Shit yeah. Man, that poison was pretty nasty. Thank Irk for our medical genius…We saved your life." The doctor said, cutting Zim off.
"Well thank you…But I have some questions." Zim told him.
"I'm listening…"
"How long was I out?" Zim asked first.
"About three days."
"Three Days! Seriously!...Well, where's everyone else?!" He asked second.
"They all went to celebrate. You had a lot of visitors. One was a human, some weird kid from Earth who wanted me to tell you he was staying here with the Irkens, or something like that." He stopped to take a sip from his mug.
"Anyway, they all came and went …cept for that weird purpled eyed girl, with the CORD in her head. She wouldn't leave your side for a minute."
"Really?...do you know where she is now." Zim inquired.
"Ummm…By Your Side." The doctor answered him with a hint of are you stupid in his voice. Zim looked down to his right, and there was Tak. She was sleeping in a chair, with her head on Zims stretcher.
"That's some Girlfriend you got there man. I didn't see her sleep once until I came in this morning." The doctor enlightened him. Zim didn't respond, but he thought about what he said.
Tak began to stir. Her eyes began to blink open. The doctor noticed this, and took that as his cue to leave the room. She looked at the bed and immediately noticed Zim was sitting up. She sprang to her feet.
"Zim! Oh My God! You're Awake!" She yelled. Then she immediately hugged him, holding on tight as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Hey, it's alright…" He tried to calm her down.
"NO! its Not Alright. Know one knew if you were ever gonna wake up. I don't know what I would have done if you--" Zim held her close and stopped her.
"Tak, it's okay now. I'm fine. I woke up, and the doctor said I was cured, everything will be okay." She backed away slightly and loosened her grip, but was still weeping a little bit. Zim wiped the tears from her face. She looked up at him and smiled. Zim did the same…and they kissed.
"ehr hrm!…hope I'm not interrupting anything." Tenn got their attention. They both looked up to see her standing in the back of the room, by the door, next to the doctor, who was scribbling something down on his notepad.
Immediately Zim and Tak stood next to each other at attention position, with a salute.
"No Ma'am!" They said in unison.
"Whatever, At ease then soldiers." She said without showing much enthusiasm. They both put there hands down and relaxed.
"Well, we did It. We Won." She said smiling at them. "And you two are the ones who saved my life, so of course I am indebted to you both." She paused and turned her back to them.
"So, I'm going to leave the future of our people to the two of you. Should we keep invading, or should we try to pick up the broken pieces of what our ancestors left us with, in hopes of gaining a peaceful relationship with the other alien races." She said
Tak and Zim looked at each other, and they knew right there what to say. Tak spoke first.
"I think, we should try to make peace with everyone. But it's not up to me." She stopped. Zim continued.
"You should hold a vote amongst the people to see what they want." He suggested. Tenn thought about this.
"Not a bad idea…" She said, and then her eyes got big as though she had a stroke of genius. "You know what?...I'm going to be crowned the new tallest soon. I want to make you two my royal advisors, as well as the heads of the military. So what do you say?" She asked. Zim thought about this for a second. "A position of royalty."
He wanted to say yes, but then remembered something important.
"I'm sorry, but I promised an old friend that we could go back to Earth. I'm gonna have to fulfill that promise." He said. Tenn nodded her head.
"I understand…" then turned her head to face Tak. "…Well, what about you?"
"I'm afraid that I must leave too. You might have noticed this already, but I'm going to go wherever Zim goes." She said a little red in the face. Zim blushed slightly at this as well. Tenn just sat there. Zim tried to explain.
"We mean no disrespect we just-"
"no, I understand. I was just thinking about how cool it would have been to have you guys as my advisors." She said with a sigh.
"Oh well, if your minds are made up, than that's that. Good luck you two, and you're welcome to the palace, and those positions, any time." They all saluted, said there goodbyes to everyone, and were off on there merry way.
1 year later…
Zim was working on a pak for his newborn daughter, who was running in circles around the floor of the lab. Once he finished it. He picked her up onto the table, and let the pak attach itself to her. She giggled.
"Daddy, it tickles" She said.
"I know Dez. Now you make sure that you don't ever take it off, understand?" He asked her. Dez shook her head wildly up and down as a sign of "Yes."
"Good girl. Now let's go upstairs, your mom probably wants to see it." He told her.
"Okay!" She responded with excitement and hopped down from the table, walking in front of her dad with a big grin. Her toung was sticking out, much like Gir used to do. Upon coming out of a trash can into a familiar house, she ran directly for Tak, who was sitting at the table talking to Mimi.
"Mommy lookit, daddy made Me a back-pak!" She said.
"He Did! Let me see…" She said to her. Dez jumped a 180, and showed her mom the new pak.
"Wow, that looks really cool." Tak said.
"I know…it's is awesome." Dez replied, than sped off into the living room. Zim walked up next to Tak.
"She's the cutest smeet ever." He said to her.
"I know, I just can't believe how smart she is already at her age." Tak responded.
"Well, she has purple eyes like you, isn't that the symbol for brilliance." He said.
"Maybe, but you cant tell me you don't want to raise her and take care of her like a parent should. Soon she'll be able to fend for herself, and she won't need us at all." Tak said. Zim thought about it for a second.
"The humans say this thing about there kids. They grow up so fast or something like that." He said.
"Well, it's true." She responded, sounding a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, just because she's smart, doesn't mean she wont need us anymore." He reassured her. Their eyes caught each other and they both leaned in and kissed. The doorbell rang a while later.
"Who could that be?" Tak asked herself walking to the door. She hit a button, and a hologram came over her body, making her look like a human. She opened the door, but know one was there. It was just a huge metal box with letters in Irken writing that said For Zim on it.
"Hey Zim, you got a package." She yelled to him.
"okay…I'm coming." He called back. He went outside, and hauled the package in. When he opened it, he found a note, which he read aloud…
Dear General Zim-orin
We the soldiers of your battalion would like to thank you for your bravery and
leadership. It took a really long time to put all the pieces back together again, but we
think you will be happy with our results. We left the honor of the last piece for you…
… --Your Army
P.S. Dib says Hi. He's been doing great here.
Zim opened the box. His eyes lit up, as he reached in, and pulled out the fully repaired body of a SIR unit, and a memory core…
Zims family watched as he put the memory core in the robots head. Almost immediately after he did, the blue eyes flickered on.
"Gir…is that you…" Zim asked cautiously. His response was…
"HI MASTAH! Can I Get Some A Dem Taquitos!"
"Gir! It really is you! Welcome Back!" Zim shouted, and everyone came together, and gave him a group hug.
"Awww! I Missed You Toooo!" said Gir in his normal Gir voice….
…The End
A/N WOOT! Happy Ending!...not like that…Whatever, so that's the end. I hope it was a joy to read, because it sure was a joy to write. R&R…c yall.
