"Hi, my name is Celine "Cel" Nicholson I am an average human female and this is how I once lived a boring average life, well I didn't realize it was boring until later when I went through the greatest adventure of my life and gained the greatest loves of my life. But I'm getting ahead of myself, you want to know what it was that change me so much, well let's get started"

---

Earth, an average planet of land and sea with over 7.594 billion people living on it, and one of these people are about to have her life changed forever, a young girl of about 17 stands at 5'6" tall and has short red hair with bright green eyes, she has a moderate c-cup bust and lightly tanned skin, her outfit is a casual and comfortable pair of jeans and a tee-shirt with a sweater that was a simple red turtle neck, but it was cut in such a way as to show off hints of her figure while still being loose and comfortable with the full-length sleeves and a large loose neck that mostly formed a fluffy collar but it was loose enough that it could be pulled down to expose one or both of her shoulders should she choose to. the outfit was finished off with a pair of black running shoes, this girl's name is Celine "Cel" Nicholson.

Cel was having an average day, getting up, going to school, talking with some friends, and making notes to some ideas that came to her mind, be they for stories or her future, she liked to plan most things but that doesn't mean she wasn't a spur of the moment girl either, doing things from reading a book in a tree, to playing a game while on a treadmill, multitasking was basically who she was, planning for the future while living in the now, and right now she was home and watching some old reruns on her laptop while finishing her homework, the reruns were of the old show Invader Zim along with the movie Invader Zim Enter the Florpus.

As Cel finished her homework she looked to her laptop with a thoughtful look, looking at Zim and the actions of the Tallest's Red and Purple.

"it's not right" She began to say out loud "I know Zim isn't the smartest when it comes to everyday stuff or invading, but he is smart in his way and has a lot of determination. Red and Purple are jerks, they eat and rarely do anything as well as kicking Zim while he's down without him knowing it, Zim could be amazing if he just had the right mindset or person to help him, like Gaz and Tak, they all could be so much more" she said with a slightly angry and sad expression before pausing the video and getting up.

As she made her way downstairs to get something to eat, she couldn't help thinking "I wish there was a way to help Zim achieve the greatness he deserves" and she soon made it to the kitchen.

But as she opened the fridge the very air around her shimmered like a heat mirage before a flash of light that blinded her and then just as fast as it happened it was gone, along with Cel, leaving not a trace of her or what happened other than an open fridge. Days later people would investigate where she was only to find an open fridge with spoiled food inside, her homework, and a still turned-on laptop on her bed, the police would investigate the security cameras in the street and her laptop camera but only see her leaving her room and the flash of light from the kitchen, even scientists would come by and investigate what happened only finding strange readings that have never been recorded before. Many theories and stories would be made on what happened but no one could answer the question everyone would ask "what happened to Cel and where is she?".

---

That flash of light changed everything for Cel because just after the flash she found herself weightless and when she was able to see again, she saw she was floating in a tunnel of flashing rainbow colours spiralling past her, she soon felt a slight stinging pain all over her body, and then a sudden yanking on her body which pulled her through the tunnel and then into another flash of light before she hit a hard surface.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE TALLESTS WAS THAT!?" a female voice shouted as it seemed wherever Cel landed rocked side to side for a moment before it levelled out.

"LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!" a different, squeaky, voice shouted out in joy at the just-passed rocking.

"NO, we will NOT be doing that AGAIN, what even was that…?" the first voice seemed to stop its question, most likely seeing Cel at that moment, but Cel couldn't dwell on any of this as her head was in extreme pain as images, symbols and wearied noises flashed through her head so fast she couldn't keep track but at the same time found herself understanding it seconds after they had passed.

Soon all the images and such stopped leaving Cel with a headache but relieved to no longer have them going through her head, she soon opened her eyes only to be looking into a pair of glowing light blue ones of a small, very familiar, robot with a big smile on its face.

"Hello, weird thing! I'm GIR, want to be friends?" the now recognized GIR said to Cel, who once seeing said little SIR Unit looked around herself to see she was kneeling in a small high-tech ship with a seat and controls, and standing just behind GIR was a tall light green-skinned female humanoid-like alien who was only slightly shorter than herself at 5'4", with three fingers, a pair of antennae that curl at the ends atop their hairless head, and solid ruby-coloured eyes. she was moderately busty with a mid c cup bust and had full hips, she was dressed in a red tunic-like garment with three black stripes and a triangular pink collar and sleeves, as well as black boots, leggings, and gloves with a rounded light grey metal backpack with three pink spots upon their back staring down at her.

It took Cel only a moment to realize who this alien was, despite the slight differences, given the little robots name was GIR and how he acted as he poked her left cheek lightly with his tongue hanging out of the corner of his mouth, this was Zim, the Irken (debatably) Invader, only she looked more female-like, just like Tak.

"And just who or what are you and how did you get onto my ship?" questioned Zim as she looked down at Cel.

Cel took a moment to gather all that was happening before slowly rising to her feet, still with her slight headache and the new knowledge inside of her head she concluded that she must have somehow teleported onto Zim's ship when that light happened.

"Um my name is Celine Nicholson, but you can call me Cel, and I am what's called a human, a Homosapien, as for how I got here I only know I was in my home about to get a snack when there was a bright light, a strange tunnel and then I appeared here with the worst headache I have ever had with all kinds of images and such flowing through my mind" Cel answered Zim as her headache finally subsided.

Zim looked at her a little doubtful before saying "ship is this "human" telling the truth?"

[scans show that the human is speaking the truth, also monitors show moments before their arrival there was a time-space anomaly whose energy signature is now confirmed to cover the human's body, also there appears to be visible Irken technology on and within their biostructure] the ship's computer replied.

Though one part stuck out to Cel, "wait did it say Irken technology on and within their biostructure?" she asked before finally looking at her own body, what she saw took her by surprise, as she looked down at herself and noticed that her entire right arm and her left forearm appeared to be replaced or at least enhanced with metal and tech now appearing to be robotic and with her hands still retaining their normal shape and number of fingers but her fingers now tapered down into sharp vicious-looking retractable claws at their tips. looking at her shoulders she finds that they have tech embedded into them. felling down her back she feels what appears to be a series of interlocking plates that run down the length of her spine with a total of four ports on either side of her spine that feel like they may be for thrusters. After finishing her self-inspection, she finds that along her ribs and abdomen are strips of tech and metal armour, and both of her lower legs from just below the knee down have also been replaced or enhanced much like her arms and hands have been with no significant changes to their form or feel besides now being at the very least covered and enhanced with tech, and like her fingers, her toes now tapered into sharp looking retractable talons. and as she contemplates these changes, she feels a shift in her mind which now had parts of tech merged with it with said tech functioning like a computer as a diagnostic display comes up in her vision showing the changes made to her body and its status. she confirmed that the ports in her back are indeed four thrusters and that she also had hidden thrusters in her shoulders and her feet and lower calves. and glancing into a nearby reflective surface she notices that her eyes had a slight glow to them along with a circuit board pattern in her irises and an iris shutter pattern in her pupils. now due to the Irken tech that fused with her body, it was capable of producing nanites that could alter her clothes allowing her to use her thrusters and other abilities without fear of destroying her outfit as the nanites would allow her clothes to adapt and change as needed.

Taking in Cel's surprise at her appearance Zim asked: "I take it your species do not normally have such technological limbs and attachments?"

"No, we don't, the closes thing we have is a low tech overly complicated robot limb that you would most likely say is idiotic and I didn't have such limbs or attachments before appearing here" Cel replied as she stopped inspecting her new additions.

"If that is true then I can only guess that during your teleportation onto my ship your body was somehow infused with my kind technology" Zim surmised as GIR sat upon the top of her piolets seat looking at them with his dopy smile.

"That does make sense in a way" Cel replied agreeing with Zim.

"Well now that we have that out of the way, let me introduce myself, I am the great"

"Irken Invader Zim from the planet Irk homeworld of the Irken race, sent out by the Tallest's to invade and conquer a planet for Operation Impending Doom II, along with your SIR Unit named GIR" Cel finished and indicating towards GIR.

this took Zim by slight surprise and took a few moments to reply "yes…correct…how do you know all that, was it from fusing with my Irken tech?" Zim questioned in reply.

"While the tech has given me a great deal of new knowledge, no, I already knew of you, GIR, and your mission before being brought here. To fully explain I need to ask you something, have you ever heard of the multiverse theory?" Cel asked

"Is it when those things have more than one person?!" GIR asked while now looking at them from upside-down.

"That is multiform GIR now be quiet! Yes, I and many others have heard of this "multiverse" where there are many alternate realities and universes along with our own. Are you implying that you are from another universe?" Zim replied with an intrigued look.

"Yes, I am" Cel replied with a nod before continuing "you see in my world yours is viewed as a fictional show, with you being the main character and so-called "villain", though there does seem to be a few differences."

"Really? Go on" Zim encouraged Cel to continue explaining which she does.

"Well for starters you are a calm female, the Zim from the show was a loud obnoxious male, you are also much taller being almost the same height as me, and your ship is larger as there wasn't an area behind your pilot seat like where we are now, GIR seems the same though, I also know that the planet you are going to come upon is this universe's version of the earth with most of mankind being total idiots" Cel finished leaving Zim impressed.

"This is all very fascinating, but if I am the villain as you say how come you have not attempted to stop me in my mission?" Zim questioned feeling as though she was missing something important.

"Well like I said the Zim I have known was loud and obnoxious while you are calm and seem more intelligent, so I wish to see how much different you are compared to him, also this earth is so stupid it makes me feel insulted to be considered the same species as their humans, so I want to help you take it over and make it far better" Cel explained taking Zim by slight surprise.

"You wish to help me? In taking over another version of your world? What could you offer in such a task?" Zim questioned slightly interested in the prospect of someone helping her, seeing as her SIR Unit GIR seemed to be quite stupid.

Cel took only a moment to think before responding "well besides my slight foreknowledge in events to some I have great creativity in thinking of things others wouldn't normally, I now have vast alien knowledge inside my head from your tech combining with me so I can help with tech, weapons as well as construction, my knowledge of earth can help with your mission, and finally if the tech I am now infused with has increased my knowledge so vastly then I can only imagine what it has done to my physical strengths, I could help take on foes that may get in our way" Cel explained listing most of the things that can help a lot, Zim took a few moments to think on her explanation before replying.

"You bring up many good points, you would be a better partner than a foe, very well, we will from here on out be partners in the conquering of this "earth" you mentioned" she replied and extended her hand which Cel took in a firm handshake.

"YAAAAY! We have a new friend!" GIR screamed out jumping up and down in joy before grasping onto Cel's waist in a hug, who patted his head in return before looking at Zim.

"We may need to repair him a bit so he isn't so stupid, agreed?" she said to Zim who nodded while saying.

"Agreed, perhaps you can get started on that while we continue our course" Zim then climbed back into the pilot chair and started the ship's engines proceeding to continue their journey.

"Alright then, GIR, hold still while I take a look at you, I'll give you a present afterwards," Cel said to the little bot who nodded eagerly for a gift and stood still as Cel opened his head and linked a wire that extended from her right arm into his main cortex with a holo-screen appeared in front of her and began her work, all of which she knew how to do thanks to her new knowledge.

"By the way, how long has it been since you left the armada?" Cel asked as she removed some programs from GIR's CPU that were corrupted or wrong, as well as pulling out the junk the Tallest's had thrown in his head.

"We have been travelling for 6 months now, why do you ask?" Zim replied from the controls.

"Because it took you that long to reach earth, so we should be coming up on it anytime now" Cel replied, and not moments later did the console light up with the computer saying [Proximity warning! Planet ahead.] with Zim's control panel showing an image of the planet with the word Earth next to it.

"Well look at that, now there is no doubt you do know the future" Zim stated. looking back to Cel with a slight smile.

"While I do know of events to come it is only to a certain degree and as stated before things are slightly different so we can't rely on that too much" Cel replied and Zim nodded in understanding as she guided the ship into the orbit of the planet.

"Well then we should get started on checking the planet out and plan before setting down" Zim stated as she got up and walked next to Cel as she pulled out the final piece of trash from GIR, Zim took a second holo-screen for her to work with as while asking.

"So how far are you with his coding?" Zim asked while writing up some programs on her screen.

"I am halfway done but with the trash and this nightmare of programming I'm surprised I got this far, he had so many glitches it's a wonder he was even able to activate. I am going to leave a bit of his childlike programming though" Cel replied as she wrote the main director programs and saved parts of said personality coding.

"I see, why would you want to keep such a personality?"

"Well by toning it down a lot and removing the stupid parts and glitches, he can be like a little brother that has both knowledge and a want to learn while also keeping the innocent nature to him, though he can still battle and take down any of our foes that may come along" Cel explained as she finished the main protocols and the personality coding.

"I see, so a personal preference then, I can't argue with that so long as he isn't as mind-numbingly stupid as before" Zim replied in slight agreement as she finished the functions and defensive programs then turned off her holo-screen with Cel doing the same and retracting the cable back into her arm.

After closing GIR's head they stepped back as his blue eyes flickered for a few moments, going black, then coming back on and looking up at them.

"GIR, how do you feel?" Cel asked the little bot as he looked at them before replying.

"My head feels light and clear like I had a ship parked on me and now it's gone" GIR replied with a smile which the two females mimicked,

"That is good to hear, how are your operating systems and scanners?" Zim questioned.

Coding passed along GIR's eyes for a moment as he replied "other than a few physical repairs needed my programming and scanners are at 95% efficiency, my weapons are at 89% but with self-repairs, they will all be at 100% within 12 hours" GIR replied.

"Excellent, now one last thing, what is our mission GIR?" Zim asked.

"To blend in with the indigenous life, analyse their weaknesses, and prepare the planet for the coming badness," GIR replied making Zim and Cel smile proudly.

"well-done Cel, it would have taken me a long time to fix GIR alone but with your assistance, it was done in no time" Zim stated to Cel who smiled in return.

"it's alright we are partners now so we got to help each other out, now let's get onto the plan for the planet" Cel replied as she and Zim sat down in the pilot seat with GIR sat on her lap.

"Indeed, let us start with accessing this world's information network," Zim said typing into the console and hacking into Earth's satellites, downloading loads of knowledge in moments.

[local earth knowledge fully downloaded] the computer informed the trio "very good, now let us find a location to set up" Zim stated, taking them down to the planet, they flew along for a few moments before coming across a site Cel knew of.

"There, that is the place you settled down in originally," she said pointing to the open space between two large houses in a cul-de-sac area "not only are the people stupid here but it's out of the way while being close to the city without seeming odd" she went on to explain piquing Zim's interest.

"Yes, it will work just fine" Zim replied then landed the ship in said location.

The three got out of the ship and began preparations "now we must seek disguises so that the more intelligent humans you mentioned do not uncover us" Zim said as she activates the disguise program, the Voot Cruiser reconfigures itself so that it's set up to create the disguises, two poles emerge from the ship which creates a hologram in between them that displays an image of Zim, the computer sorts through possible disguises, starting with an adult woman in an apron "too old" Zim refused, moving to the next which was an overweight woman "too fat" Zim denied again with the next one being of her just with contacts and a long-haired wig "are you mocking me now?" Zim questioned the machine with rising irritation.

"Let me have a look Zim" Cel spoke up as she moved next to Zim and started messing with the hologram, moving one image to the side but saving some parts that caught the eye, she soon combined the parts she had saved into a new image and showed it to Zim.

"Oooh, I like that very much, thank you Cel," she said as she stepped up ready for the alterations, Zim selects the disguise then two pods from the Voot Runner close on Zim making an egg shape when interlocked, light pours out of the crevice where the two pods meet.

"Guh! Why does it sting? EEP! Where do you think you are touching?!" Zim shouts while in the egg before the light dies down and the pods separate with some smoke, out of the smoke came a human girl the same height as Zim with dark hair and normal blue eyes, her skin was lightly tanned she had an average figure and moderate bust, her outfit was a short-sleeved tee-shirt dress the same colour as Zim's uniform that was just tight enough to give a hint of her figure and bust and fell to just above her knees, finished off with calf stockings and a pair of black low-heeled boots. around her neck, was a wide herringbone necklace and matching bracelet on her right wrist made of a platinum-coloured metal, this was Zim in her new disguise.

"Ooh you look amazing master" GIR spoke up in approval.

"Agreed it is far better than the contacts and wig your male alternate version had used," Cel said agreeing.

"Thank you, now for yours" Zim replied "I will not need one as I already am human and my metal parts can be explained as advance prosthetics" Cel explained getting a nod from the two.

"Alright then, that just leaves GIR," Zim said looking at the little bot.

"Originally, he got a green dog suit with a few patches of black as a disguise, we can keep it and say he is a rare breed or was made in a lab, any of them can work" Cel stated and Zim nodded along,

"It may be simpler to do so" she agreed and had GIR come up to the machine, selecting the disguise and then moving back, the pods shut on him and light pours out of the crevice where the two panels meet, the pods open to reveal the disguised GIR.

"Alright, now all we need is a home," Zim said pulling out a capsule from her PAK, she unfolds the capsule into an electronic pad complete with pen, Zim doodles a house on it but then sweeps it away and tries for a different image, she did this 3 times and was getting frustrated.

Cel, seeing Zim getting angry, gently took the pad from her "how about I try?" she asked gently to which Zim nodded but kept close to give ideas.

"We need something simple but efficient, with lots of room for the cruiser" Zim spoke up as Cel draws.

"But it's also got to fit in with the area, so a small yard at the from" Cel added in as she kept at it

"add-in windows of course" Zim mentioned,

"Got to have the right colours as well…and done, what do you think?" Cel finished and showed the image to Zim and GIR, they both nodded agreeing with the design, Zim then takes it and closes the electronic pad into a capsule with a drill on one end "remember to turn on the stealth mode" Cel reminded Zim who nodes and twists the middle until a blue light came on, she then sticks the capsule into the ground just in front of the ship and it starts drilling down into the earth.

"quickly let's get back, we don't want to get caught in its construction" Zim stated and the 3 of them ran to the front of the left house, after a moment the capsule bores deeper and deeper into the ground before it stops, It unfolds into a fan shape and shoots mechanical tentacles in all directions, The tentacles reach the surface and lift the Voot Runner into the air, A platform forms under the Voot Runner as dirt falls to the ground, A metal hub pops out of the ground and two poles shoot out on either side of the hub, the hub opens up and light pours out, a compact pink couch pops out of the hub and flies into the air, The couch unfolds and hits the ground, Four poles stand from the ground, The poles shoot tentacles that interlock to form a box, The tentacles that lifted the Voot Runner in the air form a wireframe of the interior of the house, Which appeared to be reasonably normal thanks to Cel's intervention tough things did look to be a bit more high tech than was average home, The four poles shoot out beams of light that fill in the gaps between the poles, The beams of light then become solid walls becoming the exterior of the house which appeared to be a fairly normal-looking two-story square frame house, Two panels come out of the top of the house which closes over the Voot Runner and interlocks to form the roof, A large hub forms in the middle of the roof, Out of this hub, a mechanical arm forms, the arm becomes a satellite dish, the colour of the exterior walls was a simple and clean light blue with white trim. Underground two tentacles tapped into the water and power of the neighbouring houses with no one being the wiser, Below Zim's house, a lab full of Irken computers and technology forms, back at the surface, lights on Zim's house flicker on as wooden fences sprout around the house, 4 lawn gnomes popped up in the lawn arrayed around the house in a loose semicircle, with a flagstone path stretching from the gate to the doorsteps.

"Good, now let's head inside and inspect the place" Zim stated as she led them through the yard and up to the door "it's really neat," GIR said clapping his hands a bit in joy.

"It came out nice and with no noise, either" Cel said up looking at the house with the two, once Zim opened the door two bots appeared, one a female with a mother appearance and the other a male with a father appearance "welcome home kids," the bots said as the 3 entered and closed the door behind them.

"Well, that went off without a hitch," Zim said as she pressed her throat deactivating her holo-disguise and GIR pressed the clip of his collar making his own disguise retract into his back, the three then took a moment to look at the inside of their new base, the interior of the house was modern if a bit more high tech than most houses would be With a fairly open design and no division between the living and dining rooms with a fairly large kitchen o the left side of the first floor the wall of which combined with the stairs on the right made a short hall that leads to the downstairs bathroom and laundry room The stairs lead to the second floor which held the bedrooms and upstairs bathroom the walls were a pleasant cream white with a few selves and art pieces here and there for decoration the Living room/dining room was the largest room on the ground floor it was furnished with nice modern furniture and had a large leather couch facing a massive flat-screen tv there was also a pair of black leather reclining chairs that flanked the couch the dining table was a standard rectangle with four chairs around it the living room was carpeted with a soft blue-grey carpet which gave way to white tile for the kitchen.

"it's all so nice," GIR said as he climbed up on the sofa and gave a bit of a bounce at its softness.

"Yes, you did a fine job Cel well done" Zim stated getting a smile and nod in thanks from Cel before walking towards a corner table "now for the next step, come let us go to the observation room" Zim replied as the table lifted and opened an elevator tube which she and Cel step into and were lowered down, leaving GIR to turn on the TV and watch some shows.

Zim and Cel were lowered down through the levels of the base towards their destination "The Tallest intrusted me, and you as well my partner, with conquering this planet in the name of the great Irken empire, so that I may redeem myself for the failure of Operation Impending Doom I. This planet won't know what hit it after we've learned all its weaknesses" Zim explained gaining Cel's attention with the redeeming part.

"You acknowledge that you caused the failure of the first galactic invasion plan?" Cel asked.

"yes indeed, you see when I took control of the Frontline BattleMech I did not do a full check of the systems before activating it, it is supposed to show you the planet around you but instead it showed an alien world and as it has slight transwarp teleportation I believed we had been sent to a planet and so I placed the controls on autofire, but I did not know the controls where faulty so once I did so I could not undo it, and by the time we realized we were still on Irk-"

"You couldn't deactivate it until all the ammo had been depleted" Cel finished Zim's explanation realizing what had happened.

"Yes indeed, I take it the opposite happened with my male counterpart, he didn't acknowledge that they were still on Irk and went on to destroy it?" Zim replied and asked Cel.

"You got it all in one, he was then re-encoded as a Fast-Food Drone and banished to the Irken snacking planet of Foodcourtia under the command of Frylord Sizz-Lorr, being put through hell with cleaning the toilets and the customers tormenting him, did that happen to you?" Cel explained then asked.

"I was, but it seems he had it worst as I was made to mainly man the counter, clean floors, and make the meals, I had never been so low before. At least Sizz-Lorr was understanding if to a degree, he even let me go to the new Impending Doom II on the condition that the Tallest's allow me to be an invader again, which I am grateful they did so" Zim explained.

"That was nice of him, to your male self he was cruel and that Zim ran off without asking when The Great Foodening began" Cel mentioned making Zim shudder

"I'm glad mine wasn't and I had heard of The Great Foodening, I was almost hesitant to leave him to that but he said he would be fine, my male self was a great insult to invaders, but I guess I'm not that far off," Zim said looking down until Cel raised her chin to look at her.

"Now none of that Zim, you made a mistake, yes, but unlike him, you accepted it and have learned from it, and let me tell you something else be you female, male or otherwise I would have still done as I have to help you because I always thought you could be great, you just needed the right helping hand" Cel stated with firm confidence which made a slight blush appearing on Zim's cheeks

"You mean that?" she asked "without a doubt" Cel replied firmly with a grin which was mirrored by Zim as they came to the observation room, it was a large egg-shaped chamber that has several large screens dotted around the room each showing a place or displaying data about earth. the room was dimly lit giving a grey oppressive atmosphere with Irken devices and cabling covering the walls.

Stepping off the planform the two walked over to two monitors and sat down pulling up information and images and the city they now resided in "Now, to find the best possible way of "learning" about this sad little planet. The more we know, the sooner we can conquer this spinning ball of dirt" Zim said as she pulled up an image of a building with "Skool" written on it.

Cel then began to explain the school and related information "this is a school, a place for the young to learn about the world and be educated for their futures, though this earth's schooling system is rather stupid along with most of its people. I can count technically 4 people to keep an eye out not counting the ones in charge of the school." She then moved the picture away and brought out two male pics before she continuing continued.

The first picture was of a young man of 17 though he was fairly short for his age standing at 5'4", he was also slim and lanky giving him a scrawny appearance and making his head appear to be larger than normal though it was not, he had a normal skin tone and sharp brown eyes are hind a pair of large rimless glasses, his hair was black and relatively short being combed back except for a single lock that inexplicably stood straight up for about an inch before turning a sharp angle and curving over the rest of his head in a manner that resembled a scythe or sickle blade, his outfit was pretty simple a blue tee-shirt with a deadpan face emoji printed on the front, a pair of black pants tucked into black calf-height boots, finished with a long black trench coat.

The second picture was of a tall broadly built man with normal skin tone his eyes hidden behind a pair of lab goggles. his hair was much like his son's black and short with an inexplicable lock of hair that stood up an inch or two before curving back over his head though his more resembled a lightning bolt than a scythe blade, his arms had been replaced with, by Irken standards, crude robotic replacements but they were nonetheless powerful having been built and upgraded by the professor himself, the rest of his features including the lower half of his face are covered by a long white high collared lab coat that fell to his knees with his arms from hand to biceps being covered by black rubber gloves, the rest or his lower body is covered by a pair of what appeared to be protective rubber boots.

"The first is Dib Membrane, a boy with black hair, glasses, and a big head, he isn't stupid like the others and saw through male Zim's "disguise" straight away while everyone else didn't, Self-proclaimed "defender of Earth" who is part of a group called "The Swollen Eyeball Network" an organization of devoted conspiracy theorists and paranormal investigators obsessed with the paranormal, including aliens, Bigfoot, and ghosts. Though he isn't that confident as he seems to fail every time he tries to prove something and is seen as crazy for such beliefs, even his father doesn't believe him, said father being Professor Membrane in the second picture, while his parenting skills seem to be missing in action, he does love his kids, he is very intelligent if eccentric, a scientist who is considered the best in the world, though he did lose his arms to a shark and has powerful robotic replacements which he can take down an army of robots with, he has resources we could use if we can get to them, while I don't believe Dib, or his father, will see through your disguise it will be best to be careful around him." she explained getting a node from Zim as she brought up the next pic of a young woman.

she was a young girl of 16 with dark maroon hair and golden eyes. she was very curvy for a girl her age with a very large bust and wide curvy hips. she was also very fit and lithe. her outfit was very simple, a tight black tee-shirt with a skull print on the chest that exposes her midriff and a pair of very tight Hip hugger jeans that are coloured purple with black boots.

"Next is Gazlene "Gaz" Membrane, younger sister to Dib, she is what's called a Goth, a dark and mostly reclusive individual, though she does show to care on the SUPER rare occasion, though those seem to mostly be for her benefit, now she is intelligent, she can even work Irken tech like a pro due to her gaming skills, but mostly cares about her things, such as games and pizza. She hates a lot of things especially that which takes away or bothers what she likes, she is strong in her own right and vindictive to those that cross her, basically stay out of her way or on her good side" Cel explained making Zim slightly impressed before moving on.

"Finally, we have the classroom teacher, Ms Bitters" Cel brought up her image "A tall, slender old woman of unknown age or origin, she's a grumpy hag who is devoid of any positive emotion and full of demonic hatred for the sun, children, and life in general. If she is smart enough to know what you are is unknown or she just doesn't care. Just behave with her as she can be cruel with punishments", she stated, getting a nod from Zim "and that's it, brush up on human behaviour, keep your head down, act "normal" and nothing bad will happen, though be ready for Dib as he may try looking into you and start all kinds of crazy" Cel finished explaining as she began hacking into the school system to place Zim into the class as a new student.

"Very good, we shall infiltrate and begin learning all we can" Zim stated, looking at the information Cel gave her

"Not we, you Zim" Cel spoke up getting a confused look from Zim before explaining "it would be best for you to go to school while I stay at base to create tools and collect supplies while also planning for the future, you can learn about the earth and humans while I get things ready for the both of us when you return, twice as efficient wouldn't you say?" Zim took a moment to think before nodding in agreement

"Yes, it both logical and wise, very well then. Is everything ready for tomorrow?" Zim asked getting up from her seat "yep I just finished putting your human form into the system and downloaded the right info for you to learn into your PAK data-pad, I suggest learning it before retiring for the night" Cel replied closing down her screen and getting up next to Zim, both making their way to and back up the elevator

"excellent" Zim stated with a grin as they head up.

They soon came back to the main house floor where GIR was still watching TV, once seeing them he asked "so how is it going?" as the two walked over to him Zim replied

"We have our plan GIR, I will begin infiltration and learning of the local educational facility while Cel stays here to plan and create new tools for our future endeavours, while you continue your main programming of collecting more information of the local area and earth itself"

"Understood master" GIR replied in understanding.

"Well with that all sorted I shall retire for the night and see you both in the morning, goodnight Zim, GIR" Cel said as she went to the stairs and up to her room.

Once inside her room, she looked around at how it was laid out, Cel's room had a fairly typical setup with a full-sized bed in the centre of the relatively large room on the left-hand side of the room was a dresser next to the wall beside the door to her closet. on the other side of her dresser was the door that leads to her private bathroom which was on the small side holding a toilet a sink and a shower stall all made of standard materials. with a tile floor and walls and a standard mirror/medicine cabinet over her sink. on the right-hand wall was a desk with a disguised Irken computer terminal. her room did have a window allowing her to gaze out at the street and neighbouring houses if she wished to. Once she had finished having a look around, she collected some nightwear, took a shower, and laid down in her bed and with a "lights off" command turning her room lights off she soon fell into blissful sleep, with only the thoughts of what adventures were to come of her new life.

The next morning came with Zim, GIR, and Cel in the living room ready for their respective roles, Zim and GIR were in their disguises ready to head out "we shall be departing now, make sure to keep the coms at the ready encase of an emergency, understood?" Zim said to both her companions who both nodded

"Yes, you will go to school to learn more, GIR will check out the areas around the base and said school, while I begin planning some schemes, we can employ in taking over the earth, by the way, did you read the info last night as I suggested?" Cel asked Zim.

"I did and found it both stupid but informative" Zim replied

"Good, also here, you have to swallow this" Cel said as she presented a pill to Zim "I had the computer do scans of your organs and mine along with the planet's food and climates, it found that many things on earth would cause you harm, so I had it create this pill for you to take so they don't affect you" she explained as Zim took the pill

"I see, much appreciated" Zim thanked and swallowing said pill before turning and opening the front door

"Now let us be off GIR, I shall contact either of you for backup should I need it, good luck in your respective duties," Zim said as she nodded to them both and left with GIR not far behind and Cel waving them off before closing the door and heading down to the underground lab.

"The first thing I should do is check the house defensives and make sure there are no blind spots," Cel said out loud to herself as she came down to a large circular room containing the house's brain "computer bring up the security cameras and data codes" Cel commanded [understood, displaying now] the computer replied and brought up several holo-screens next to her as she opened a control panel and started typing.

Looking from the panel and the screens she made some observations "there is a blind spot in areas 2, 3, 5, 9, 15 and 28, add an extra two cameras to each of those. Seems scanners 7 through 13 are glitching get repair systems on those started. And we seem to not be drawing the correct amount of power and info we should form the main powerlines and satellite links we have, bring those up on screens 2 and 5" she stated and the computer complied with each command and brought up said mentioned screens "mmm…seems the main conduits aren't connecting properly with the mainline, I will have to fix that manually, as for the satellites it seems some viruses and outdated codes are causing the links to be corrupted, start anti-virus protocols as well as new codes to place inside the satellites so this doesn't happen again as well as installing our undetectable virus and bug software to infiltrate them and so forth, understood?" [understood, beginning procedures now. Would you like to be taken down to the conduits now?] the computer asked getting a nod from Cel "if you would please" and a circler pad formed under her and then lowered her down.

Cel soon came down into a cavern with purple wire tubes coming from the ceiling and grey metal tubes lay on the ground and in the walls, she walked forward for a few feet before seeing sparks coming from a few purple tubes not connecting with the grey ones fully "here they are" she spoke out loud and made her way to the first one "computer cut power to conduits 6 through 12 until I say otherwise" she ordered which the computer complied [understood] and the tubes gave a hum and soon stopped sparking, allowing Cel to get to work by cutting the grey tubes open and placing the inner wire tentacles of the purple tubes onto the inner wires of the grey mainline tubes, this took about 2 hours to finish then a few moments to align the power settings and levels before giving the command "computer reactivate the conduits" and the tubes all hummed to life as she kept her eye on the levels on her holo-screen "levels are good, power flowing smoothly, any anomalies detected computer?" she asked [all systems are at full capacity and energy levels are optimal, no errors found and storage back up batteries will be fully charged within 24 hours] the computer replied getting a nod from Cel.

"Good, what of my previous orders?" Cel asked referring to the house's security [all orders have been carried out, all the cameras have been deployed, the scanners repairs shall be completed in 2 hours, and the satellites have been cleared of 89% viruses and infiltration programs are at 77%, duration to completion will be 3 hours 45 minutes] the computer replied earning a nod from Cel "alright then with that I will head up to the lab to work on some more projects, take me up please" she ordered and the computer complied sending her up to the lab.

Cel stayed in the lab for most of the day making plans and possibly projects that they could use in the future, especially when Zim learns the truth about why the Tallest's sent her here, which she was able to confirm from watching Zim's PAK recordings, they acted just as they did from the show, meaning they only sent her out here because they didn't trust her and thought she was a stupid defect, this both boiled her blood and saddened her to when she will have to tell and show Zim the truth because she would be damned if she allowed those bastards to get away with their actions on Zim and let her live in exile for eternity, all because of one mistake.

So Cel prepared, she had worker drones built and sent to all the other planets and their Moons, including earth, forged security clearance to planets to gain more supplies without said planets or others like the Tallest's finding out, as well as planting a spy bug into said leader's systems so she can gain more knowledge and info on what they are doing without being known.

Making designs and blueprints for both machine and organic usage, as well as hacking into accounts and banks for money and leverage for the future.

There was just one thought on Cel's mind as she did all this "just you wait and see Universe, I will help show you all that we are not to be messed with, that Zim, I, and anyone else that joins us shall be a force to be reckoned with" as she thought this her eyes glowed with determination.

She stored all these plans and designs onto a private, super heavily encrypted server that no one can get into other than her, just so said plans can't be found out too soon.

Hours later it was mid-afternoon when Cel got an emergency call "Cel, GIR, I need assistance, QUICKLY!" Zim's panic voice called out making Cel put down her tools and shout "computer open emergency tunnel and two decoy drones!" [acknowledged] the computer replied as a hatch opened above her and she activated her thrusters as two small orb-like drones popped up next to her and followed her rocketing up and out of the secret lab to the surface.

Cel shot through the air with the drones hot on her heels as she located Zim and GIR with her scanners "GIR come in" Cel contacted said bot "yes I am here" he replied "I am going to assume you are near Zim now and are about to retrieve her to safety, once you have her, I want you to take rout 5 which I am sending you now while I and the drones with me set up decoy trails, understood?" "affirmative!" GIR replied to Cel's plan before cutting out, Cel and the drones then saw him and Zim upon his back rocketing down a street and came to a crossroad, as they came to it GIR sharp turned right while Cel went to the left with drones A and B straight on before splitting up and going to different routes, all of them leaving behind a smoke trail each.

Cel cut off her trail two streets away after a few turns and went into stealth mode flying back above the crossroad to see the outcome, just as she did so a scythe-like black-haired boy wearing a pair of round glasses and a trademark black trench coat came to the crossroad and looked at the multiple trails in confusion before screaming out "I'll find you Zim and I will find out all you have to hide no matter what! You can't hide forever! And if you can, then I'll wait forever! I've been preparing all my life!" with a pair of metal handcuffs in his hand, which Cel disintegrated with a small laser blast from her right pointer finger, making the now believed Dib to look in shock before saying "Okay... I'm going to go home now and prepare some more! But I'll be back, and from here to the ends of the Earth, Zim—" Dib continues to talk as Cel recalls the drones and heads back to base just as all the smoke trails fade away.

Cel and the drones soon came back to base, the drones going back underground while Cel walked through the front door, she came upon Zim and GIR who were taking off their disguises "well that was an interesting day, I see what you meant when you said most of the humans are stupid, and well done with the decoy plan" Zim said as her disguise faded out "they're not the best representation of humankind but they aren't far off in some regards, and thanks, so what happened?" Cel replied as she stood next to the two.

"Everything went well, the human Dib was as you said, very paranoid even though I had convinced him and the others I am human, he wanted to force knowledge out of me, constantly questioning me until he pulled out those cuffs and said he would get the info one way or another, that is when I made my escape through the city, I was able to push him over a fence with a bad dog and gained enough time to call you and GIR, the rest you know" Zim explained as they made their way to the secret elevator and down to the lower levels.

"I see, well after confusing him I disintegrated the cuffs so there isn't any worry of those for the moment, how about you GIR, what did you find on your trek around the city?" Cel asked looking to the bot "I walked around and learned a bit about the people's behaviour, I was able to get into a library and learn some more stuff, humans are prone to being stupid and blowing things out of proportion as shown with their wars and such, despite the rare smart humans we don't have much to fear from the human race" GIR stated, giving his report.

"I see, well done GIR, we may be able to use this to our advantage," Zim said as they came to the main communications room "now let us report in with the Tallest and give our status so far," she said as they came up to the giant screen

"let's leave out the part about my foreknowledge though, while I understand they are your leaders they may not be too believing about someone knowing the future, they may even see me as a threat and try to eliminate me out of caution" Cel explained getting a node of understanding from both Zim and GIR

"Very well. Computer contact the Tallest" Zim ordered and the screen came online with a loading symbol.

In deep space shmillions of light-years away from Earth, the Irken Armada was travelling through space on their path of conquest.

Within the Massive, the Almighty Tallest's ship was said Tallest's on two reclining chairs with Red sipping on a soda, around them where Irken officers working in their respective areas, then an Irken spoke up saying "Incoming transmissions from... Earth." While the large view screen displays the word "Earth" for them to see.

"What is... Earth?" Purple asked looking to Red who was just as confused by the unknown name, then the large view screen displays Zim with GIR on her left and Cel, with her technological enhancements on display, on her right.

"Invader Zim reporting, sirs. The mission goes well." Zim spoke shocking all present making the Tallest's freeze with Red dropping his soda with the straw remaining in his mouth and Purple stare with his mouth agape "But surely you expected that from me." Zim finished off snapping the two out of their shock as Red spits the straw from his mouth finally realizing, he wasn't imagining it at all.

"Zim... You're alive!?" Red said in an almost whisper-like shock

"Yes. So very alive. I have made it to my assigned planet and set up our base of operations, I have even made a great ally who is not only intelligent in the habits of the planet's people and Irken technology but also in strength, allow me to introduce Celine "Cel" Nicholson" Zim said gesturing to Cel who stepped forward nodding to the Tallest's and saying

"a pleasure to meet you at last Tallest's Red and Purple" Cel stated, but the Tallest's saw the intense inferno within her eyes that sent horrified chills through them both, she stepped back and Zim continued.

"Don't be surprised if we take care of the humans before the armada even gets here! Well, we've much work to do, so: Invader Zim, Cel, and GIR signing off!" and with that the transmission fades, leaving Red and Purple to glance at each other in disbelief and slight horror.

---

"Well, I think that went well," Zim said with a slight smile "now how was the day's work Cel?"

"It all went fairly well, I had to fix our defences slightly along with the connections to the global satellites, there was also the power connections underground but all the tasks were sorted out and completed without much difficulty before receiving your call" Cel informed as Zim turned and began making her way to the lab section of the base.

"Very good, I will be heading to the lab to conduct some experiments and tests, will you join me?" Zim asked as GIR followed her

"In a moment I have some calls to make for extra resources we may need" Cel replied getting a nod in return

"Very well I shall see you in the lab then," Zim said as she exited the room with GIR.

Cel waited a moment before turning back to the communications screen, she opened a port on her right arm and a metal tentacle came out and linked to the main relay "computer I want you to secretly access the Massive's systems and upload the virus I am sending to you now, then bring up the Tallest's conversation on screen without them knowing or seeing what I am doing" [understood, accessing … task completed, displaying now] the computer replied and did so "good, also record all that we see and download them into my files under heavy encryption" Cel stated. getting a beeping of acknowledgement.

With the Tallest's, Purple was hovering back and forth with a bag of doughnuts in his hand and stuffing one after another into his mouth as he talked in panic "how is she alive!? [munch]"

"I don't know" Red replied while sitting in his chair with her hands clasped in front of him,

"You said you had a plan! [munch-munch]"

"I know"

"You said we would never see her again!"

"I know!" Red kept replying and getting more frustrated with Purple

"That we would never see her again [munch-munch-munch], that she would be gone forever [munch-munch-munch-munch], that she would even die!"

"I KNOW!" Red shouted getting up sharply making Purple wobble back slightly before righting himself and still stuffing his face with snacks.

"I don't understand it myself!" Red stated as he passed back and forth "in all the years we have been Tallest's I have never known such a defect like Zim to survive so many events that would have broken or killed her, it would be commendable if she wasn't such a failure, rejects like her should be eliminated upon creation, the only thing stopping such a thing are the Control Brains saying that it would be a waste of resources and even then, they will still send them out as cannon fodder!" Red ranted with Purple nodding along while still eating.

"But what are we supposed to do?" Purple asked bringing them back to the main question, Red took a moment to think before gaining a smirk and replying

"nothing" this made Purple choke for a moment before screaming

"Nothing?! We are going to let Zim continue as she is?!" "Exactly. Think about it for a moment. Zim is on this "earth" far away from us and our mission, a place where she can't cause us problems, not only that but it may be entertaining to see her struggle with taking over this world she is on, and who knows, she may still die on the planet, we gain info on a new world, she's out of our way and we gain some entertainment from her suffering, I see this as a win, maybe not the win we wanted but still a good win, see what I mean?" Red explained as he sat back down with a pleased smile on his face which was soon mirrored by Purple

"I see, that is very funny!" he replied as he also sat down while laughing which Red soon joined in on and toasted their drinks.

Little did they know Cel was watching, recording, and steaming at them, making plans for what to do to them when the time came and it would come, that was a fact you could bet the universe on.
