I DUN OWN IZ:D

Southampton, England - 1912

He was excited to be here.

Not only for traveling all the way to England, but because he was finally allowed to go to a real Swollen eyeball organization-like meeting. Travelling to England was just a bonus.

Of course, it would have been nice if he didn't have to go alone. His father was working in the lab as usual, trying to help mankind with their toasting troubles. But since his father was a hard worker, he couldn't really blame him for not coming.

As for his sister Gaz, she was glad just to get him out of the house.. In fact, he was pretty glad to leave her.

But he couldn't think of this as a vacation... The Swollen eyeball organization was counting on him the get these 'top secret' video tapes to Agent Abdominal Snowbeast in New York City as soon as possible. But it was hard not to think of it as a vacation, since Dib was going to travel to New York City on one of the most luxurious ships built... The Titanic.

Dib finally got a good look at it as the Titanic's passengers waited anxiously to go aboard... It wasn't time to go on the ship yet, but by just gazing upon its magnificence was worth the wait.

Not only was he going to finally show the Swollen Eyeball Organization that he should finally be taken seriously, rather than some stupid kid always calling them to tell them that aliens are trying to destroy the planet, he was going on the trip of a life time... Little did he know that trip of a life time would soon end in despair.

"you maay enter..."

The small green alien opened the door to the abandond shack. it was dark, and had the smell of burnt bacon.

"Gir," Zim said. "You stay out here... For this disgusting, hhhorible animal to give us what we want, We can't afford to scare him!!!"

A long pause.

"...I FOUND SUM GUM!" Gir exclaimed, putting a black, sticky object into his mouth.

Zim twitched. Without another word, he stepped into the shack and closed the door.

It was completely black. Zim coughed at the sickening smell of burnt bacon. He took another step forward, when suddenly a dim light clcked on in front of him. There sat a fat, greasy man, swallowing burnt bacon, licking the grease from his fingers.

Zim held his mouth, stopping himself from throwing up. He took two steps backwards.

"Ehem... I am here FOR... The brain."

The man laughed out loud, causing little bacon bits to fly from its mouth. Zim held his mouth again. But not to stop him from throwing up, from from yelling at that horrible man.

After the man stopped laughing, he began munchingon more bacon.

"I figured." Said the man, with his mouth full. "With my history with you Irkens, I'd figure you'd want the Tallest Black's magnificent brain back. But you... How could the Tallest trust a puny irken like youself, to retrieve something so powerful... And dangerous?"

"They don't know you're here. After killing the Black Tallest, you managed to escape to an unknown part of the universe. The almight Tallest searched for you for years, but could never find you. You tried to use the brain here, on this horrible planet... The perfect, hidden place to find the secrets of the universe, and possibly destroy it. But you didn't. Why...?!"

The man's face became serious. "Hidden in the mind of the Black Tallest... There are things that were not meant to be seen. I realized that there are horrible things-"

"Yes, yes. Horrible things to use to destroy the universe. Now, where is it??" Zim asked impatiently.

Another long pause.

The man chuckled. "I don't have it."

Zim's mouth dropped. "What?!"

"Another came before you. I gave him the brain, and he's gone."

Zim grabbed the man by his greasy shirt.

"Where is he?!"

The man swatted Zim away. "He mentioned something about traveling on water... He must be goin to travel on the unsinkable... The Titanic."

Zim was silent. His heart was beating fast.

"Eh... Water?"

"Yes. His hover ship or whatever was damaged... So he must be goin on the Titanic. If you want the brain, you'll probably find him there."

Zim sighed.

"So... When does this ship leave?"

Hope you liked the first chapter...! I tried my best to keep the characters 'in' character, so... Yeah. Meh.
