Dib Membrane

A direct hit! Dib’s anger aided him quite well. However Dib’s victory celebration would have to wait. Zim has fired a few of his deadly lasers at him. Dib quickly dived towards some nearby debris from the Tallest’s attack earlier. It was just enough for him to successfully dodge the lasers, but Dib wasn’t ready for what would happen next. Dib turned too late at the sound of Gir’s voice causing him to be smacked with the sandwich. The sandwich caused him to fly back straight into the kitchen. He sat there for a bit before shaking his head and getting back up. He looked at the Tallest who were just eating.
“Uh... I’m just gonna borrow this...”
Dib grabbed a stack of bologna and ran out of the kitchen. Dib then proceeded to try to act cooler than he was.
“Hey Zim! Bon appétit!”
Dib proceeded to throw the stack of bologna at both the new and old Zim.

stupid laser aliens let me rest REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Necessity4Fun · Oct 1, 2019

Lots of pleading and begging. This is the worst timeline.

"You suck at being bad"

"W-what", Thae'il could only respond with the utmost confusion, unsure of what the skeleton was trying to get at, "Look, man, I'm a weapon. All I do is get sent to new worlds to bring forth havoc and chaos but there is no good or bad to it, there is no 'trying to be anything'. All there is is acting in the ways I was trained to accomplish my mission, no real alignments, no real judgements. Whether I'm succeeding or failing is subjective and utterly pointless to gauge. It doesn't matter. I must keep going, keep fulfilling that purpose, until I'm finally obsolete, thrown away and/or broken.", all around his tone was monotone and matter the fact-ish, as if this was the truest of the truths in the universe, "So like, I get that you're trying to discuss morality and whatnot, but there is nothing to discuss on the subject. That's just how it is."

"I can't change it and you can't change it either. It's simply reality. And this is just a major waste of time."

One would think, Thae is inside a cage, being kind of lectured by this random dude that doesn't seem to get the fact that he really doesn't care, there's no way that things can get worse, right?

WRONG!
Entropy, remember? Things constantly tend to chaos and the star animal was definitely not safe from it...

The joy over being freed from the bone prison had been short-lived, as he got dragged in the air by some kind of telekinetic power as if he couldn't just walk by himself! Honestly, what was this?! A leash? Was he really being leashed by a pile of bones right now??! A growl echoed from deep within his throat. Can't he just go back to the cage at this point? Like, please. At least in-between the carbon bars, he'd be left to his devices...
But no, his luck would just keep getting worse. Unable to reach the ground, Thae'il would be unable to pick up 'The Claw', the war-scythe being left behind in the alien vessel as the skeleton-man had decided to teleport them away back to the Observatory.

Yep, you heard it right, teleport, as in, hurray more spatial displacements to have under his belt. Because why not?

Needless to say, the fox-male wasn't very happy with that, the jarring change of scenery hitting him like a train, eyes widened in utter terror over the almost imperceptible cut in-between both departure and arrival. Well, maybe he couldn't actually see the jump-cut, but he definitely knew it had been there and that was enough to terrify him for life!

"Ah!", he let out as soon as the location had switched, "Not agaaaaaain! Look, trapping me is fine, being on this weird-ass leash? Less fine, but manageable, but please, please, by the Emperor's mantle and every single particle that composes the universe, please, I beg it do not teleport me again."

"Also, we really, really need to go back and get my weapon. Like, really you're putting my whole life into risk, as in, if it goes missing I'm going to be suffering the consequences for the rest of my life if we don't get it back. You'd be condemning me to fate worse than death itself. And it's all going to be your fault."

Though yes, the tone was still a threatening one, there was a hint of exasperation together with it. A mix of urgency and worry that seemed to confirm that the words he spoke were in fact, the truth and he didn't have any second intentions hidden. Honestly, he just wanted to stop leaking energy like crazy and risking losing the blade that unbeknownst to the monster, was actually part of him.

A Star Animal's weapon was the solidified shape of their animal shells, the same thing in a different physical state, so to speak. It was just as capable of being a battery-saver mode as it was of being a power-equalizer of sorts, the thing that granted Thae'il full-control over the energy outputs of the light-speed dashes. Without it, taking off would not only cause a huge crater every new occurrence, but he'd burn through the entire power reserve in a matter of minutes every.single.damn.time.

A painful existence of constantly blacking out for hours on end at the aftermath of using his abilities.
Hopefully, the skeleton dude would hear his pleas, because the other option sucked more than a black hole.

Other than this extremely dire situation, it seemed as if the group had run into a new Zim. This one managing to be even more grinding and irritating than the first, for some reason. Great. Now he was suddenly getting literally dragged into a fight that he couldn't even assist with due to one: being on a weird leash, and two: being nowhere near his weapon... At least the bone-guy was nice enough to move him around to dodge the lasers for him instead of forcing Thae to try and dislocate himself by releasing all his energy at once. Still, this was not ideal:

"Dude! Like, please, I really need my weapon back! ...Preferable without any more teleports, but this is an emergency so as much as I hate them, just please please get me back on that ship... Look, I'll even sit this stupid fight out if it means I can get it, just please...! Please send me back!"

Odessa & Batman

Odessa was momentarially stunned by the alien boy's tendrils, clutching her side she twirled in his direction, rage and fury burning through her viens. Snarling, she jumps on Zim, slamming him down with her whole body and attempts to rip each and every tendril off of his stupid fucking back. She also prepares the dodge the tendrils this time.

Meanwhile with the Batman.

As Odessa charges at Zim. Batman aims a high kick in Zim's general direction. If he makes contact, he will flip off him and send smoke pellets into his eyes, blinding him as he does so.

Tanya

Tanya stood back and laughed. This wall all suddenly hilarious to her. The fake Zim and Zim were arguing. Everyone was trying to kill the fake Zim. It was something out of a kids cartoon and it was all lighthearted. Life on the frontlines is less...Funny and Tanya was grateful for the comedic relief.
Looking over the situation Tanya's comrades look like they have things covered. Firing an artillery spell at the green puke would probably result in friendly fire and pissing off certain members twice would not go down well.
"hey Dr what was that question you asked me earlier?"

Sans

The hot dog kid’s pleas weren’t convincing at first. Sans didn’t know if he would shred anyone or something like that, buthe didn’t really have any choices then.

Before Sans did anything, the small white dog from earlier came back, Thae’s weapon on it’s mouth and dropped it where Thae was, before standing there, tail wagging. He looked like he needed a pat.

Sans then blue souled Thae to cover after he picked up his weapon and blue souled Zim 2 to the Observatory floor multiple times.

Agent 3|Ink Trap

thatguyinthestore said:
Zim arched an eyebrow as Agent 3 threw a splat bomb in his direction, the small Irken still idly hanging from his mock-spider legs as he did so. He observed the strange triangular object for a moment, and once nothing happened, he looked back up towards Agent 3 and laugh.

"HAH! The foolish squid girl thought she could trip Zim in her triangle trap of schmoopiness! But it turns out that it was YOU who was fooled, because--"

"You have no idea how those things work, do you?" She challenged as the bomb exploded shortly, cutting him off from saying what he was going to say.

thatguyinthestore said:
Before Zim could even attempt to finish his words towards her, however, the bomb exploded under him, causing a mess of green ink to cover him and his spider legs almost fully. Zim screamed out as this trap attack transpired, his eyes shut and his arms in front of him as he tried to swat away whatever imaginary force struck him. This allowed Odessa to run up towards Zim and choke him. He attempted to scream out, though no words came as he struggled to breathe in her grasp. She managed to grab hold of one of his legs and bend it slightly, though before she could outright tear it apart, another one of the metallic tendrils flew upwards and struck her right in the side! Said hit would send her falling off of Zim, the Irken breathing heavily as he regained said opportunity to use his alien lungs.

Agent 3 laughed as he was indulged in the ink trap - unable to move very well. "Now that's more like it!" She cheered to herself, looking to the then-smashed-away Odessa who almost removed the second leg. "Alright, that second leg is looking loose... Let's do some damage..." She said to herself, pulling out 'another' Splat Bomb, though now that she knew Zim knew how these worked, he would be prepared for it this time. Agent 3 opted to retract the Splat Bomb and instead try and shoot Zim in the eyes with ink, attempting to blind him and if successful, she would try and thicken the ink trap he is in with a Splat Bomb once again. 'Wear him down, remove the legs...' She thought to herself. 'Slowly but surely, just take them down...'

Whatever that robot the other Zim is in,it's.....really tough,to say the least. I can't get a good shot at him ever since the lasers are being fired everywhere,destroying whatever opportunities I could have to let my cannons set up and gun him down. If there was a stream of puddle or that the floor itself was a little filled with water,I could easily "skate" around the other Zim and return fire easily.

The problem is......I'm on dry land,which means I'm running,not drifting on the surface. I cannot keep my cannon steady if I was running and shooting simultaneously,since my aim would be very shaky and could hit anyone unintentionally. The torpedoes aren't an option either,the others nearby could get caught in the explosion,even if I had told them to get clear before throwing. The most I could do right now is just keep running around,dodging the shots fired as I try to find a perfect spot for me to stand still and return fire.....

“Hawawawa!?”

Until now that is. My left leg got in the way of the other,causing me to tilt forward as I fell onto the ground. Lift my head off the floor,I opened my eyes just in time to the dreaded lasers coming closer towards me....
For now none.

"Participating Irken Armada members and all Irken Armada temporary allies! Switch to ranged!"

The strange Irken dodgerolled Zim Beta's barrage. As long as he wasn't too close, it would work.

"Hmmm... I need alternatives..."

The strange Irken swerves and retreats, returning with a blaster of some type after a short amount of time.

"I am curious as to what will happen if I do THIS."

The blaster shoots out some type of adhesive sticky gunk, mostly aimed for Beta Zim's big spider legs as well as the mouths of his functional cannons! They were really sticky... so if they missed the spot and hit the wrong part of his body... well... it'll take a while.

He only really needed two shots on the legs, and everything else would sort itself out...

"Oh, hello all," the tall Irken notices that he was beside Mami, Praetorian and the Medic. "I humbly apologise regarding my trigger happy brethren. I would say he's usually not like this, but I think you all figured that he is."

As he shoots and aims at opponents, he converses with Mami.

"So uh... heeeey human... you uh... good with guns?"

Her eyes widen as wide as they ever had. Soon, she had instantly vanished from Praetorian's behind, only to appear in front of Inazuma, now with riggings fully equipped and her back facing the attack that was about to hit the other shipgirl.

Praetorian had no hope of pulling them away as Laffey's light smile gazes into Inazuma's face.

"..."

Not a scream, not a whimper, just a smile, that faded back into a monotonous mouth and a brief wink. Softer than Laffey's usual softness.

Zim's laser barrage smacked Laffey's riggings.

Laffey's riggings were burning with flames as she fell to the ground, back up the sky and chest down to the ground. Her main body was soon engulfed with fire. Her fingers twitched as they were coated in the orange blaze, but...

Ruby Rose
(Half-Life 3 Confirmed)

As Ruby continued to cry over the fallen warrior, she felt the embrace of a tail hugging her over the shoulder, courtesy of Dr. Kuroki. Though tears continued to come out out of her eyes, she stopped sobbing over the woman's body, as she turned her head towards the kitsune. When the hug stopped, she laid the body down before she turned fully towards the woman. She did not care about the fact that Thae's weapon was a scythe; her painful memories of losing a caring mother, and now a death she had just witnessed, was more important here.

"I...I don't know what to say, but...thank you. I just..."

Ruby shook her head slightly, then as she was about to continue, Alexis offered her words towards not only her, but whose who may still be grieving her. She listened carefully, proceeding to wipe her tears off. However, while she listened, two words in particular popped out to her: "keep going". This was the thinking that had kept her going, that she also came dangerously close to the verge of giving up. She would have rather focused on the now; that is, her teammates back at Remnant and the rag-tag group here on the Observatory.

Anyways--

RUMBLE.

...I'm sorry, wh--ahem. Anyways! As soon as the rumbling was over, there was no more time for Ruby to mourn and weep. Instead, there were much more important matters to take: Bowser. The Huntress-in-Hiatus stumbled, struggling to grab Crescent Rose, but as soon as the rumbling stopped, she was able to steady herself into a defensive position. Looking up too the Koopa in the clown car, she immediately shouted,

"Stand down! We don't want to hurt anyone, especially not now!"

Yet, her words fell on deaf ears.

As soon as Bowser smashed his hand through the glass dome to destroy part of the Observatory, her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. It was at this moment she knew nothing else could be done--because she wasn't able to get there on time, despite her Semblance sending her there the fastest she could manage. Then, as Bowser flew off, she pointed her HCSS at Bowser at his son, right as she fired off her first shot, the Observatory shook, this time in a much harsher fashion, throwing her off-balance. Before long, she was panicking, falling off the platform as the Huntress-in-Distress flapped her arms. However, she eventually regained some of her composure, and was barely able to return herself where she was using her Semblance, lest she falls through the abyss of space.

Then, Ruby landed, but now there was a whole new problem to deal with: the unstable observatory. It was undeniable what damage was done to the Observatory, but whatever stole the show went off like a flashbang, blinding her and the rest of the group. Unfortunately, she was unable to block the excessive light in time, but she had another trick up her sleeve: Aura. Thanks to the passive invisible shield...thing, her eyes were not damaged by the sudden burst of light.

And then, it was quiet.

Too quiet.

- - - - -

Is...is it over? I don't know. I really want it to be true, and I really, really can barely stand what's going on. Bowser took off with the Observatory in ruins, and with his son back in his hands, we're left to survive on what's left of this once-beautiful place. I guess if I have to end my journal here, it might be here, out in space, where I had come into just to be able to see the stars. And now that destiny has ordee--...ordened--... Uhh, now that destiny says that we, who have attended the Star Festival to explore in peace will stay here on this Observatory to rest in peace, I hope the best for those back at Remnant.

Yang. Uncle Qrow. Dad. Weiss. Blake. Jaune. The headmaster, Ozpin. Penny, too... What will they think when they find out I'm not coming back? All I want for them is that they don't feel the same way Taiyang, Yang, and I did when Summer left, and all I want is for them to keep moving forward. Why? Because despite all that's happened, they shouldn't be dwelling on the then, and just learn and move on to become better Huntsmen and...people. It just hurts whenever people aren't in a good mood.

But, all we can do now is to wait...hold on. But shouldn't there be another way? Is not all hope lost? Perhaps like all the other times, we can rebound from all that has happened, and we can still chase Bowser for not just us, but also the Mushroom Kingdom? Ruby, I know what you're thinking. You still want to get back to Bowser and take him alive, and hopefully all the poor souls will be saved from all the bad that is happening right now. That's the spirit! Who cares what happens, we gotta get to it, now! ...But the question is, are we really going to do it?

Wait...what are those big ships doing up there?

- - - - -

As soon as the ships started to attack the Observatory, Ruby was once again in high-alert mode, whipping out Crescent Rose once again. However, this time the ships were simply too much for her to even attempt to attack, as she was left to fend for herself and the others. As she checked her surroundings, she saw that Eric was barely standing, struggling to get by and avoid any debris and projectile in his vicinity.

"Eric!"

Ruby quickly rushed over to him and, together with Alexis, helped him up and carried him somewhere relatively safe.

"It's all going to be okay, just trust me!"

As she was helping Alexis carry Eric, she was instructed by what appeared to be someone new (Ryoji) to simply leave him down on the floor of the besieged Observatory. Obliging, she only nodded, laying the Typhlosion down, as she then left charging towards the ships and then jumping, transforming into the ever-so-familiar swarm of roses. Eventually, once she arrived, she transformed back into her regular form and boarded the ship, together with Dib and the group. Wanting to appear a little friendlier, she holstered Crescent Rose and stood by, following the group wherever they went. Then, she watched the group try to get the Irkens to stop, albeit with a certain significant difficulty.

When all seemed to finally be over, Ruby was relieved. She watched as a exchange between two particularly important Irkens and Rosalina occurred over snacks. Then, she, along with the group whom had boarded the ship, returned to the Observatory safe and sound. There, she now stood proud, though she was still awkward about it; she never got to really talk out things with the Irkens, and all she was getting, essentially, was participation points. But that's alright, because things are sure to start going back to how they were.

Right?

As the Huntress-in-okay-you-can-stop-looking-now was about to say something for Jason Todd, the other Little Red Riding Hood, an impact forced her to the line of duty for the umpteenth time. Suddenly, good feelings were already fading away, and she was back on the wild rollercoaster ride nobody asked for.

"Please, no more..."

Ruby ran to the location of the impact, and found Zim and an unfamiliar-looking robot. But there was a catch; there were now two Zims. As if things can't get any weirder, indeed. Worse yet, the newer Zim started attacking, and soon, her fears were proven! How fucking surprising was that? Sorry, pardon my language. Anyway, she did not jump right into the action, but instead stood back and watched. That newer Zim certainly looked powerful, alright--but the spider legs were one of the weak spots she could point out.

Then, she had a plan: Aim for the spider legs. However, in order to properly tell the group about this, she'll need to test her theory. So, she transformed Crescent Rose into its scythe form, then launched herself towards one of them by scattering into the red petals. Then she spun around that spider leg by the HCSS, and pulled the trigger at the right time, potentially slicing off not one--but two spider legs, the second being the one at the other side, if the new Zim didn't act in a timely manner.

Eric

I... I think my mind is slowly starting to catch up to what's happening. There was a fleet that invaded... I told Julia not to threaten them, and then she started reasoning with them, and... they stopped. But now, this... Zim- not ours, but some other that looks and sounds and acts literally just like him, except more murderous, apparently- appeared and started shooting lasers at everyone. It doesn't look like anyone needs help... this entire thing looks like a cakewalk in comparison to Bowser. But still, I might as well get used to not being able to recover between battles; Arceus knows the circumstances of our next fight with Zant.

"Ughn…"

I feebly grunt as I crawl out of Alexis' tails and drop to the ground with a painful thud. Weakness, strength, exhaustion, adrenaline, my body just can't seem to decide what it feels. I push myself off the ground and stand up, a blade of flame burning brightly in my paw, but just then, when I finally find my footing, the image of the battle blurs and my arm begins to shake. Doubt seeps into me all at once. I'm in no condition to fight at the frontlines, and aiming from here would be impossible. If I even try to take the shot, then... then maybe I'll just hit the others accidentally.

I lower my paw.

Maybe I'm just...

The sword fades away into pathetic wisps of smoke.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this...

Just like always...

...

"GRAHHHH!"

Sudden rage seizes me, drowning out all ill effects of the stress placed on me. The sword reappears in my paw, the flame burning even hotter, and without hesitation, without thinking at all, I throw it. It spins in the air like a boomerang and makes a direct line for one of the enemy Zim's remaining spider legs, and would likely cut through like a hot knife through butter if my aim is true.

Something catches my attention. Inazuma and Laffey are next to each other, but the latter is motionless... burning alive. I dash over and slide to a stop next to the two, kneeling down next to the pink-jacketed girl's body. I place my paws on her and generate more fire, the two blazes intertwining with each other before I will both of them to be extinguished.

Please... don't be too late. Please, please, please...

Eric's attempts seemed to work, but it seemed that Laffey was no... longer there. Not a corpse, not so much a speck of her beyond two of those bunny ears that were constantly attached to her...

... and also, two strange glowing cubes?

One of them latched onto Inazuma's chest and sunk into it. Her gears and metal parts would shift as she would unlock the fabled Kai Ni form that she never had! She also felt some of Laffey's memories flow through her, except seeing the ships she faced as the versions of her world and not Laffey's world, most notably Laffey's fall at the hands of Hiei and the tough fight she put up before. This composed of Laffey's life in what Inazuma might recognise as good old World War II - a different perspective, one might say.

Inazuma had acquired the title and skill of Solomon Wargod. (When firing main gun, 5% chance to increase own Firepower, Reload, and Evasion by 40% for 8 seconds.)

The other latched onto Eric's chest, but due to being completely biological in nature, it could not sink into him. Rather, it formed an armour around his chest with a 'core' of some kind in the centre featuring this cube behind a transparent yet durable hemisphere. This armour had a jetpack of some kind in which Eric could use his natural fire to propel and fly or speed up, as well as cannons on the back that can be folded to rest on the shoulders, capable of shooting bullets and torpedoes alike. Despite the extra bulk, Eric felt... lighter, and faster, too! Some of Laffey's memories flowed through Eric's mind. The time she spent with a certain friend among others, he might have even seen some type of family that wanted to spend time with her, and the last memory Eric could catch was this particular spearwielding friend cheering Laffey on as she readies to recieve some type of upgrade? It faded to black as the one whose perspective Eric was seeing into closed her eyes... The setting of these memories seemed to line up with a more modern era

Eric had acquired the skill that Laffey needed to improve herself to obtain, Ahnilliation Mode. (Every 20 seconds, 70% chance to increase own Reload stat by 200% for 10 seconds and release a powerful barrage, while firing a machine-gun burst of fast torpedoes.)

"Just get us those snacks, Zim! All of them!" Purple shouted as he swung his arm around in front of him to further emphasize his cheery demeanor, and more importantly, the snacks that they oh-so craved. The Tallests would essentially tune out the conversations around them, from Ben's grunting to Benedict's grand re-entrance. No, instead, their attention was refocused towards Julia herself. As she called out to the pair, the deal was finally sealed, so to speak. "All we have to do is stop our ship and our fleet for endless snacks? Now that's a HOT STEAL!!" He shouted in glee. Vilgax and Thae's threats would have been drowned out by the Tallests both seamlessly pumping their fists into the air, and with unparalleled glee, exclaiming,

"STOP THE SHIP!"

thatguyinthestore said:
"Uhhh... the kitchen's... that way..." She said as she tried to make sense of whatever was going on right now, though she went right back to repairing the Observatory using her wand.

"Thanks!" Red said, as he and Purple happily marched off towards the Kitchen with smiles stretched across their faces and their eyes closed. Once they made their way towards the dome-shaped room, they entered it and closed the door behind them, leaving the rest of you out in the open with a gigantic ship staring you directly in the eye. It was then that another compartment opened up on its side, where those from the group who had entered the ship themselves began to exit one by one. All of you stepped onto the Observatory grounds with a pep in your step and a spring in your walk, as you had essentially just saved the day.

Karako beamed in joy as he stepped off the ship, seeing that they were successful!! Yep!! Everything was perfectly fine now!! It was all good and dandy. It's uphill from here, all the way, because nothing could possibly go wrong-

thatguyinthestore said:
"HI FLOOR! MAKE ME A SAMMICH!"

Zim, meanwhile, stumbled to his feet, breathing heavily. His hands quickly moved behind him to grip his back, pushing it outwards until a popping sound could be heard. "GAH!! My swoodily-spooch!" He hissed in pain as... whatever that was popped back into place. With that taken care of, the other Zim quickly glanced upwards to all of you, a look of slight confusion overtaking his usual erratic facial features. However, the cast of strange individuals isn't what piqued Zim's attention, but rather...

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"...oh for fuck's sake..."

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"EH!?"

"Can you both shut the fuck up?"

With that, the two Zims went silent for a moment... before immediately speaking to one another again. However, instead of just grunting essentially, they actually began to converse.

"How did I get here, me?"

"I don't know, but I do look pretty handsome! Much better than the Dib stink!"

"Haha! Yes! The Dib thing is quite smelly!"

The two Zims began to laugh with one another at the expense of Dib, their mutual hatred of the large headed boy being a great bonding experience. And also, well, being the exact same... person(?) Anyways, eventually, the laughing subsided, and the newer Zim began to look around at the rest of them. "Ah! And excellent work capturing these FILTHY humans for our Tallest! They are certainly proud of our efforts!" He exclaimed in glee.

"Captured?" Jason spoke up before the original Zim could take credit for such a feat. "Tch... please. He's working with us. Both of you idiots couldn't capture a firefly, let alone any of us." He turned to face all of you for a moment, before looking back towards Zim. "And that includes the incompetent ones."

"Nonsense!" The newer Zim exclaimed, waving off Jason's words like they were water rolling off a duck's back. "Zim seeks help from no one!" He exclaimed with a proud grin, triumphantly placing his hands on his hips.

"Actually, as much as it physically pains ever fiber of my AMAZING body, it is true, me..." The original Zim replied as he slumped over in defeat, frowning in what looked like defeat. "ZIm is aiding the humans in their schmoopy little quest to regain their lost star shaped stink coins!" The words were like knives to the new Zim, the poor alien falling to his knees and screaming as he heard them.

"You lie!!! YOU ALL LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Zim's outburst continued on for a long few moments, the Irken invader's hands spazzing out in several directions as he screamed in everyone's direction. "Zim would never ally himself with such filthy fools that smell like the dirty laundry of the universe's biggest schmippy hamper!" His eyes quickly peered over as his thin tongue hung out of his mouth like a loose nail. Said eyes soon met Dib, and his screaming only grew louder and more erratic.

"YOU HAVE EVEN ALLIED YOURSELF WITH THE DIB!? WHAT KIND OF WORM BABY FAKER ARE YOU!?!!?!? ONLY THE BIGGEST OF THE STINKS WOULD WORK WITH DIB!!! AND YOU ARE CLEARLY THE BIGGEST OF THEM!!!" He shouted as spit literally flew from his mouth, his short yet lanky arms moving and spinning in all sorts of different directions. Eventually, he pointed an accusing finger towards Zim and the rest of the group, his arm still shaking as he did so. "This is all clearly a test for Zim! To prove that he will even fight himself!! That explains the strange troll creatures and the fat penguin who smells of jelly!" He shouted further, and before anyone could even react to Zim's outlandishness, several thin, metal legs extended from his pak and lifted him up into the air. They were quite similar to spider legs in appearance, actually. Two of the legs rose up in the air and took aim towards all of you, appearing as if lasers were about to fire out of them.

"ZIM WILL ERADICATE ALL OF YOU FAKE PIG BOTTLE BABIES!!"
With that, Zim quickly began firing a flurry of lasers upon the entire group, which would certainly sting pretty bad to anyone who was struck in their direct vicinity!

Oh look it all went wrong!!

"HONK!?"

Karako turned around as a SECOND Zim began firing at the group. Where had those tallest gone!? Karako would have gone to the kitchen to get them, but he needed to find Dib and Marvus!! Make sure they were alright!!

"HONK!!"

Karako looked behind him, and found Dib. With the other Zim that is.

Sayo-Nara said:
“IF ONE OF YOU DOESN’T LEAVE RIGHT NOW THEN SO HELP ME!”
Dib was too angry to even think of a way to finish his sentence, so he just death stared them. Of course the two Zims began throwing insults at Dib just causing him to get angrier. However, the new Zim quickly turned against the old Zim once her realized that he was working with everyone else. This caused new Zim to go on a rampage which caused Dib to scream.
“AHHHHHHHHHH!”
Using all of the anger he had in him Dib walked over to old Zim and grabbed him by the throat. Not enough to choke him of course because Dib wasn’t even strong enough to do that.
“IF YOU DO NOT FIX THIS RIGHT NOW THEN... THEN! I DON’T KNOW WHAT IM GOING TO DO, BUT IT WON’T BE GOOD!”

ManyFaces said:
"Clearly I am the ALPHA ZIIIIM... And that schmoopey imposter is the Beta Zim, because he's all crazy and in the way of The Tallest conquest for snax!" He said proudly.
If this Zim didn't accept his superiority he would have to be destroyed. Why did the enemy have to be so handsome? WHY!

Sayo-Nara said:
“My fault...? MY FAULT!?”
Dib had reached his breaking point. The fact that there were two Zims was too much for him. He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. He then proceeded to tackle the old Zim to the ground anyway.
“I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ZIM! I AM AT MY LIMIT! MY ABSOLUTE LIMIT!”
Dib continued to pin Zim to the ground.
“Don’t worry Zim! I’m not going to use any beans or any other processed meats to take you down!”
Dib proceeded to grab.... nothin. He just looked at Zim sadly.
“Seriously. This has been a pretty rough ride dude. Lay off calling me smelly I can’t take this much more.”

ManyFaces said:
"NOW GET YOUR FILTHY MEAT BODY OFF OF ME SO THAT I CAN PUT THAT FAKEY FAKE ZIM IN HIS PLACE! YOU HEAR THAT FAKER, REAL ZIIIIM IS COMING FOR YOU WITH HIS SUPERIOR ZIM SKILLS!" Zim called out the other Zim confident he could take him without losing a single drop of sweat even if the others weren't wearing him down.

Sayo-Nara said:
Even though Dib said the word together, Zim would still be the only one going over to the other Zim. As Dib held Zim in the air, he used all of his anger and strength and hurled him towards the other Zim.
“HAVE A NICE FLIGHT ZIM!”

Sayo-Nara said:
“Hey Zim! Bon appétit!”
Dib proceeded to throw the stack of bologna at both the new and old Zim.

Karako rushed over, obviously worried, and gave Dib a nice lil 'pap pap', shooshing him. But they didn't have time for that really!! They had a bigger problem!! The other Zim. Karako prayed Marvus was alright...

"Honk!!!"

Karako remembered that the OTHER Zim had been badly affected by food and whatnot. So.. in Karako's hand, was some sort of card.. it looked a bit like a game chip.

Karako held it, and it seemingly disappeared, but a few more cans of faygo appeared on his sash. He took one, and shook it up. A lot. Before chucking it at the new Zim, in hopes it would explode or something.

"HONK!!!"

Vilgax, conqueror of ten worlds
Status: impossible!
Condition: aggravated beyond belief, and laser burns on arms.

Vilgax grunted in pain as he failed to grab the other Zim's legs. He didn't expect this pathetic speck to put up a fight. Even with the combined attacks of the entire group, he still remains, attacking erratically. He will not allow himself to be made a fool of a third time in a row. For he is Vilgax, conqueror of ten worlds. And he will exercise his right to end Zim's life! So what is one supposed to do? For his case, after everyone manages to get their attacks in, he proceeds to blow out a literal torent of wind at the second Zim. If successful, Zim will end up getting thrown into the air. There won't be any escape for him this time. As for anyone who is in the way, oh well.

The Tallests, who were enjoying all the snacks that The Observatory's kitchen had to offer, watched on in confusion as Dib suddenly flew into the room beside them. There was a Dib-shaped imprint in the wall where he flew in, and they only watched in silence as he grabbed a stack of bologna and ran out of the room. Once he exited the room, Red turned to face Purple.

"You know, that child's head is abnormally large..." Red commented before looking back, only to find Dib running back towards the fight.

"I was just about to say that..." Purple replied with a nod and a small smile on the corner of his lips.

Meanwhile, back outside, Zim would stare at Dib as he suddenly spoke up. "Huh?" He asked, tilting his head to the right a bit, clearly not knowing what Dib's words meant. However, that didn't really matter too much, especially not in Zim's case, as before the Irken invader could even react, he was suddenly struck with flying slices of bologna! It was a direct hit as well, the slices of cooked meat landing on his face with pinpoint accuracy. Zim screamed out in pain as smoke began to arise from his skin, and soon it began to subsequently bubble up a bit, which certainly did not bode well for his health.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! GUUUUUUHAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Zim shouted, writhing and wriggling around in pain as his skin began to burn worse than any fire could ever cause him. The Irken invader quickly clawed at his face, attempting to remove the source of the burning sensation from himself entirely. After a bit of fumbling, he finally managed to do so, wincing and breathing heavily as the pain began to subside. "These smoked meats will be the last you ever throw, Dib!" He shouted before his attention refocused onto Ben in his Irken form. "Take this, you fake Irken fiend!" He shouted, before tossing the bologna in his direction! Assuming that he had the same weaknesses as any other Irken did while in this form, Ben would be in for quite the surprise if he didn't move out of the way in time.

Due to Zim being distracted with the meat throwing, he was left vulnerable to Odessa's attack. His entire body hit the ground and he grunted as it did so. He coughed a bit as he slowly attempted to crawl back up to his feet, though as he did so, he felt the blonde try and rip off each tendril using her clearly superior strength. He screamed as she did so, trying to fight her off as she ripped out each spider-like claw one by one. She managed to rip off three, however, when Batman attempted to kick Zim, he ended up striking him just fine, causing him to reel back. However, when he threw the smoke bombs, it disoriented not only him, but Odessa as well. Due to Zim's alien anatomy, he wasn't disoriented as long as she was, and he managed to crawl out of her grasp.

Just as he struggled to his feet, Zim suddenly felt himself being lifted up into the air. "EH? What is this sorcery!?" Zim shouted, and mere moments later, he was slammed down into the ground multiple times. "GAH! GAH! GAH! GAH! GAH! GAH! GAH!" He shouted as he was repeatedly slammed down by Sans' blue soul multiple times. Each time he was slammed down into the ground, his face would become more and more bruised by the attacks. This, combined with suddenly being covered in more of Agent 3's ink, caused Zim to recoil backward in pain with a hiss. However, when Irken Ben shot at him with his blaster, Zim happened to fall over onto his back at that exact moment, causing his shots to miss him entirely.

By the time he stood back up, now using only the remaining three spider legs to hold himself up into the air, he looked towards the group angrily. "YOOOOOUUUUUU WILL NOT DEFEAT ZIIIIIIIIIM!!!" He shouted angrily, his pointy tongue sticking out of his mouth as he spoke. Before he could attack again, however, Ruby quickly used her superior speed and agility to her advantage. Zim didn't even have time to notice her coming towards him before she sprung out of her rose form, using Crescent Rose to cut off his two remaining legs. Zim now only stood on one leg, bouncing up and down on it as he tried to make his way forward. Eric's sword being thrown did the trick, slicing through his remaining spider leg like it was nothing. With all his extra appendages destroyed, Zim fell down to the ground and landed right on his keister with an "OOF!"

However, just as soon as he landed upon the ground, Vilgax's wind torrent shot him right back up into the air. Zim screamed even more as this happened. And then, with no way to dodge, Karako's mini-bomb proceeded to quite literally shoot him back down towards the ground! He landed with a loud THUD!, though yet even after all of this, Zim managed to stumble back onto his feet. He looked up, breathing heavily. Despite the beating he had taken, he just didn't appear to go down!

"Jesus... how much of a beating can this little shit take!?" Jason shouted from behind his cover of rubble, guns gripped tightly in his hands. He knew that he could probably just shoot him and get it over with... but he knew that with how uncoordinated some of these people were, he would probably just get shot or stabbed or something. So, instead, he remained behind some rubble that was caused by the Tallests' assault earlier.

"Just hold him off for a little longer until I finish fixing the Observatory!" Rosalina shouted from up above as she put the finishing touches on their floating space station's repairs. "Once they're finished, he and the rest of the armada will be teleported back to their own universe!"

Meanwhile, back with Zim, he turned to GIR, who was just sitting there playing with some nearby rubble in the ground. Zim, having been fed up with these filthy humans and their disgusting attacks, turned to face his robot servant as he sat upon the ground.

"GIR!!! Avenge your master and his fallen PAK-legs!" Zim commanded angrily as he pointed towards the group dramatically.

"YES SIR!!!" Gir shouted in response, the blue spots across his body turning a light, glowing shade of red once more as he saluted Zim. The top of his head opened up again, and this time he pulled out a small, wooden sword and a miniature donkey. GIR quickly hopped onto the donkey and gripped the sword tightly in his hand, before charging forward with a newfound sense of aspiration and vigor. However, before he even made it halfway there, some of the wind from Vilgax's torrent struck him, which caused him and his donkey to fall over onto their sides. The sword flew up into the air and spun around for a moment before its handle landed on the side of his head and bounced off. With that, the wood began to push GIR away, him and his donkey flying off into space without much conflict.

"You're terrible, GIR!!!" Zim called out as he watched GIR idly sit by and float off.

"UGH!"

The taller Irken was slapped with Bologna in the left cheek, burning him. He could still run... so that was what he did - run away as fast as he could, hiding behind the others as he did, a beeping noise emerging from him, but fading away as he ventured further.

"I WILL RETURN, MY BRETHREN, I WILL RETURN."

Soon, a new warrior appears out of nowhere, emblazoned with Ben's Omnitrix emblem and hopping down from the sky like a luchador making a grand entrance. He rubbed his left cheek for a bit, before crossing his arms. Where the hell are these guys coming from?

"Hey, it's me, the new guy. Don't know what to call myself, but I'd appreciate all and any feedback on a good name, but that's not important right now..."

The lanky creature looks to the thing that Rosalina was preparing and licks his lips.

"But I do know what's important. Oh yes I do."

He swerves away from battle, expecting Vilgax and the others to cover him, before he arrived towards Rosalina's still-being-repaired Observatory.

"Hello Miss, I see you've got something on the menu for me... but on an actual note, I've got an even better idea than what you've got in mind."

The one-eyed creature nods as he converses with Rosalina.

"The gang... sorta needs the majority. Only one guy's really doing any damage here... wait, is your portal generator thingymajig an area-of-effect thing? If so, I can concentrate it on just one guy... probably... I think..."

Dib Membrane

Dib was glad Karako was alright, but they had to keep fighting. The bologna made its mark and caused Zim to writhe in pain a bit. Everyone else’s attacks worked too. He also watched as Gir flew away into the vacuum of space. He wouldn’t have been surprised if he heard a faint “Wheeeee”. Dib pointed at Zim.

“GIVE IT UP ZIM! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO!”

Dib proceeded to grab a few pebbles of the ground caused by the earlier attack from the Tallest and threw them at Zim hoping one will hit him in his big stupid eye.
