This was just not Zim's day.

Tak was sick, he got bullied at skool, it was poring rain outside, and GIR had destroyed the lab AGAIN in an attempt to bake cookies. So Zim had to re-build the whole lab by himself, MiniMoose and GIR just watching.

And now, to top it all off, he was being held by the antenna by some weirdo who seemed to be speaking a foreign language.

"PUT ME DOWN! TAKE YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF ZIIIIIIIIIIM!" He kicked wildly, managing to deliver a blow to the person's stomach. The guy winced, and Zim thought this could mean he was going to let go of him.

Nope.

The weirdo shook him violently, yelling off a string of angry words in the same foreign language.

The second weirdo, who had been sitting in a corner, got up and sighed. "My apologies, Zim. My brother is a bit… violent." Then he said something in the foreign language, and the first man dropped him reluctantly.

"Who are you and what do you want?" the alien demanded.

"I am Lord Sesshomaru, and this is my brother, InuYasha. We received a message from a friend of yours, an alien named Kay-"

"Kay?" A voice said from another room. A raven-haired boy ran out. "What about her?"

"May I ask who you are?"

"Dib Membrane." The boy stood proudly. "But anyway, what did you say about Kay?"

"Kay gave us this message, see?" InuYasha told them, now speaking English. "She said to find you two and tell you that some people named 'the Resisty' or some stupid name like that had kidnapped her and three others."

"No!" Dib looked horrified.

"Two of them were friends of ours- a human girl named Alyse and a Kitsune named Kaida." Sesshomaru continued.

"A Kitsune?" The boy's eyes went wide. "A real Kitsune? Wow! I can't believe it!"

"Dib-stink, now is not the time for your mindless obsessions." Zim grumbled.

"Sorry… But man!" Dib looked very happy.

"Dib!" Sesshomaru raised his voice a bit. "Our friends are in danger! The other girl that was captured is Kay's cousin, Terra."

"Kay has a cousin?" Dib looked at Zim.

"Red's child." He waved him off. "She's a good Invader, one of the best."

"Are ya' gonna help us or what?" InuYasha seemed more ticked off than usual.

"Of course!" Dib told him. "We have to save Kay!"

"… And Alyse…" Sesshomaru added.

"Oh, of course, her too."

InuYasha was getting even more annoyed. "What about Kaida?"

"And my niece?" Zim was also pretty annoyed. "She matters more than a… Kid… shoe!"

"… It's KIT- SUNE." The half demon corrected.

"YOU'RE LYING!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"OH YEAH?" He drew the Tetsaiga.

"YEAH!" Zim's PAK lasers extended towards him.

Sesshomaru sighed and tuned out the argument that had arisen, focusing instead on a plan to save the girls.

"Kay?"

"Yes dear?"

"Are you sure Sesshy is comin'?

"Yes." Kay smiled at the sleepy kitsune.

"Wait… you called him to rescue us? Crap." Alyse was chained up to the wall, the cuffs glowing oddly. "I don't want him to see me like his! He'll think I'm weak!"

"No he won't…"

"Yes he will!"

"It's your own fault you are chained up anyway." Kay chided her. "You should not have tried to freeze that guard."

"Hmph." She looked away.

Kay sighed and patted the Kitsune's head, and stared over at her already sound asleep cousin. "We will be out soon. I promise."
