In a dark laboratory, where the Tallest duo opens the door where they see Kuro sleeping in the water-filled pod, completely naked.

Purple peaks at the pod and snarls as he looks at his partner in crime.

"Man... they're even uglier when naked." Purple told him.

"For once, I actually agree," Red agreed as he points at Kuro's body, where she is rather skinny to the point you can see her ribs. "I mean, look at her! I can see her ribs!"

"Ribs...?" Purple asked, where Red looks at him and his eyes widen, "Oh! I remember now!"

"You just forgot..." Red sighed, "We're literally made a deal with Ate! You know, to enslave the humans while she tried to gain the human's trust!"

"I know, I know!" Purple replied, "But it's hard to focus when there's so many unique foods. I mean, humans may be stupid, but at least their foods and culture keep us entertained. Also, why didn't we enslave them by now?"

"... Zim..." Red answered him.

"Oh yeah!" Purple replied, "I honestly forgot about him. What a defect! Acting as if he can go against an empire!"

"I know, right!" Red agreed with him, "Just because he has buddies and the power of the Shadow whatever, doesn't mean he can take down an entire empire!"

"Actually... he can..."

"Ahhh!" The Tallest duo both screamed as they look behind them and see Kuro waking up.

"BECAUSE of his Shadow dragon powers, he is capable of destroying an empire..." Kuro corrected them, "If he had both arms, of course."

Kuro gets out of her pod as a bunch of glowing purple, black cloths floats towards her and covers her body in the form of a dress. She notices the two are still shaking, where she sighs and rolls her eyes.

"You two are pathetic," Kuro told them, "The fact you feared Zim, a defect of your own race, makes me think you two didn't just shut him down."

"T-That's what we're trying to get the Control brains to do!" Purple objected.

"Yeah!" Red agreed, "but they wouldn't do it!"

"Have you ever thought it might be going against you?" Kuro asked them.

"Okay, that's bullshit!" Red denied it, "The only reason they couldn't is because Zim has so many bad data that it would corrupt the system!"

"Exactly!" Purple agreed.

"... Have those cases happened before...?" Kuro asked them.

The two look at each other and then, look away as they stretch their heads with their two fingers.

"Well... there's Raz..." Purple said, "And there were those infamous rebels as well, with the exception of Lunt who isn't defective, but for some reason, she rebelled against us anyways,"

"Really now?" Kuro asked as she raises her eyebrows and a head tilt.

"Yeah! Of course, we executed her," Purple said, "When I said 'we', I mean forcing Zim to execute her to prove his loyalty!"

Kuro raises her eyebrows, eyes widen and ask, "Is that... normal in your culture?"

"Yep," Red replied, "When we have suspected traitors, like Zim after Tallest Miyuki's death, we forced them to kill a captured rebel to see if they're loyal or not."

"That... is very messed up," Kuro admitted, "Even by my standards."

"At least it's entertaining," Purple admitted, "Especially if that said rebel is a... ahem... 'friend' to the suspect was it? Yeah! That's it! Or we just feed to any beasts if they don't have anybody who cares about them, which the latter part is more common then the former,"

"I heard..."

"Ahhh!" Both the Tallest screamed as they turn around and see Ate... who is giving them an icy glare as she presses her lips together and dilating her nostrils.

"O-Oh... hey there, Ate!" Purple greeted her nervously.

"... You forced your suspect to kill their loved ones...?" Ate asked in a hostile tone.

"Y-Yeah... what about it?"

"... Even I wouldn't do such a disgraceful thing!" Ate yelled at them in rage, which shocks all of them, "I have done many horrible things! But those things are the ones I will regret the most! Do you have any regrets of that barbaric acts!?"

"Of course not!" Red replied, "I mean. Why should we care about a bunch of traitors? Besides, have you forgotten our deal?"

"... No... I haven't..." Ate replied, "You would give me your technology as well as assist in my revenge while I help with the human's trust and the enslavement..."

"Exactly!" Red pointed. "If you dare betray us, we would easily take down your earth-pigs of soldiers. Though, not against you considering your a goddess and all, but your plan would collapse!"

"..."

Ate grits her teeth and leaves the lab by stomping her feet, where she left the trio in confusion. Ate, while walking back to her throne room, looks down on the ground with a sunken look to her eyes.

She stops for a bit and shakes her head.

(Flashback)

"You monster!" A woman, who happened to be Mana, called her out in anger.

(Flashback ends)

"Ugh! I really need to stop remembering that..." Ate thought, "Even though it has hunted me for years..."

"Imperative Pureness!" An employee rushes to her, catching her off-guard.

"H-Huh? Ye-Yes?" Ate asked.

"T-There was an assault on one of our disguised bases!" The guard told her.

"Wha-What?!" Ate shouted in shock, "It's EKO, isn't it?"

"Exactly, ma'am!" She replied, "There were two hundred deaths and sixty-seven were injured who managed to survive the attack."

"What happened?!"

"They say... Renegade Zim has a new sword as well as a bombing implanted at the core."

"Wait... a sword?" Ate said, "Don't tell me... it's... that?!"

A/N - What is that sword could mean? Find out in the next part.

Yep! The sequel has appeared, and many new questions, things and answers shall appeared! I hope you guys look forward to it and if you do, leave a comment and have a good day, my guild. Aqua out!
