Mikala, Tori, Zim And Gir stands in silence as Gir looks around and tilts his head as he bluntly asks, "What's going on?"

"... Zim... I need you to implant bombs in one of SEG's bases that are located at the eastern side of Imperium city," Mikala told him.

"Got it," Zim replied, "That's all?"

"No. If any soldiers get in the way," Mikala replied as her eyes sunken and gaze to Zim, "Don't hesitate to kill them, got it?"

"Yes," Zim replied as he gives a sharp nod and looks at Tori, "Now... about Computer and Minimoose...?"

Tori nods and shouts, "Cube! Activate!"

Suddenly, a blue flash into the room, where Zim covers his eyes while Tori puts on her goggles and Mikala puts on her sunglasses. Zim slowly opens his eyes and his bugs out.

There's a transparent male irken who is completely blue and looks like that stereotypical butler where he is a bit tall but nowhere as tall as Zim as he only reaches up to his chest. He gazes upon Zim and his eyes are wide open.

"Z-Zim... is... is that you...?" The irken-looked AI asked with a gaping jaw.

"... C... Computer!" Zim cried as he rushes in to hug him.

"Computer!" Gir cried as well as he rushes in as well.

Sadly for both of them, they end up hugging the air and collapse through him. He sighs and rolls his eyes, he says "You do realise I'm transparent, right?"

"Don't push it, Computer..." Zim warned him, he stands up and looks at him. "Still... I... thought you were broken along with my lab and Minimoose..."

"Same goes for me," Computer replied, "Also, I had been renamed Cube, just to let you know."

"... Right..."

"I will not deny... I thought I was going to die back there," Computer, renamed as Cube, admitted. "Never mind that, though... what happened...?"

"It's a very long story..." Zim told him and asks, "Wait, didn't Tori told you?"

"Only the basics," Cube replied, "I want to hear it from you."

"Very well..."

Zim starts explaining everything to Cube while he's carefully listening to everything he needs to say.

(Meanwhile)

Rosa walks around the HQ with Drei and Harumi, who's holding both of their hands with a sparkling smile on her face.

"Ahem... where are we going?" Rosa asked her.

"Hehe, to the cafeteria, silly!" Harumi told her.

"Cafe... te... ria..." Drei muttered as she tilts her head and raises her brow.

"Yep!" Harumi told her where she looks front and sees Ronin with Valarie. "Ah! Hey, sensei and Valarie-san!"

The couple stop and they wave their hand with a smile. Valarie looks up to see Drei... and Rosa, where her entire face turns deathly pale.

"..." Valarie stares at Rosa with bug-out eyes and a gaping jaw.

"Ahem... is... something the matter...?" Rosa asked her, "Do we... know each other?"

"..."

"Valarie...?" Drei called out with blinking eyes and narrowed brows.

"... Where... I..." Valarie finally spoke, but continues to stare with trembling features and darting glances... but she grits her teeth and clenches her jaw, "Tori... where's Tori...?"

"... Lab..." Drei answered and before she could answer more...

Valarie quickly rubs off with stomping steps, where Ronin shouts, "Valarie!" As he chases after the clinic doctor. The three girls look at each other and Rosa scratches the base of her neck.

"Ahem... What was that about?" Rosa asked Harumi, who shrugs.

"I don't know," Harumi replied, "Let's just keep going and get something to eat."

"..." Drei nods and says, "... Yes..."

"Great! Let's go!" Harumi cheered as the trio continues walking.

(Back in the Lab)

"And that's how it all starts," Zim explained.

"Man... that... even my head starts hurt from that!" Cube complained, "And I'm a AI!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Zim shrugged as he turns to Tori, "Now... about Minimoose?"

"Well... Minimoose isn't 'mini' anymore," Tori warned him, "But, I'll get him."

Tori opens the door where Valarie grabs her by the collar, catching everyone off-guard as Valarie stares at her with an intense glare, bulging eyes and clenched jaw.

"Victoria Blackhood!" Valarie snapped.

"... V... let me guess... you saw her, didn't you?" Tori guessed.

"You need to stop fucking with life!" Valarie told her off, "Do you have any idea of the consequences?! First Leo! Now that girl!? What the hell Tori?!"

"... This... since you quit being our doctor, I have to find a suitable replacement," Tori told her honestly and coldly, "Even if you didn't quit, I'll still do it as a means to, at least, temporarily stop Ate."

"What the... no... you don't mean..." Valarie gasped, "Tori... you fucking idiot!"

Valarie readies her fist and was about to punch her... until she realises she couldn't move her hand. She looks behind her and sees.

"M-Mikala!" Valarie gasped. "H-How-"

Mikala stayed silent as she tosses Valarie over her shoulder, forcing Valarie to let go of Tori and her back got hit on the ground.

"Gah!" Valarie shouted.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Ronin shouted at Mikala as he takes out his katana and points it at her.

"Valarie started it," Mikala told him, "She was about to punch my daughter, so it's only natural I fight back."

"... Zim... is that...?"

"Yes." Zim answered honestly.

"..." Ronin stayed silent as he puts away his katana and carries Valarie over his shoulder, "I... we'll be going now... bye..."

"N... no..." Valarie gasped, "I... stop... messing... with life!"

Ronin carries the psychic-powered doctor out of the room. The whole group stares and looks at each other. Mikala asks, "You okay, Tori?"

"Yeah, mum... I'm fine," Tori answered her, and turns to Zim, "So, let's get you to see Minimoose."

Zim crosses his arms and scoffs, "About time!"

"Yay! We get to see Minimoose again!" Gir cheered.

Zim rolls his eyes and smiles a tiny bit at Gir as Tori waves his hand a bit. Zim nods and the trio goes out of the room while Mikala stays behind in the room.

Mikala picks up her iPhone and pressing on the screen before putting it on her ear as her phone starts ringing. She walks towards the window, opens it and lights up her cigarette as she starts smoking and her phone clicks.

"... Aezira... I finished it." Mikala told her.

"Good, now remember the plan?" Aezira asked through the phone.

"Naturally," Mikala replied, "Oh! The password is..."

(Meanwhile)

The trio walks through the hallway and Tori walks to one door.

"Here he is," Tori said as she opens the door... and there's no one, "What-What the fuck?!"
"Where's Minimoose?!" Zim yelled.

"That's what I'm asking myself!" Tori shouted back, "Cube!"

"Yes, ma'am?" Cube asked.

"Where's Minimoose?!" Tori shouted at the roof.

"He's in the cafeteria." Cube told them.

"... Shit!" Tori muffled, "Thanks. Come on everyone!"

"..." Cube starts sobbing, "Nobody... ever said thank you... before..."

The trio run to the cafeteria and Gir kicks down the door, much to Tori's and Zim's dismay.

"Gir!" Tori shouted angrily, "Do you have any idea how tedious it is to fix that damn door!?"

"... Nope!" Gir replied as he starts running around, "Woop! Woop! Woop! Woop! Look Moosie!"

Zim and Tori look up and sees Minimoose, who is much bigger as he's now an average height of a moose, has mechanical wings and a derpy, cute face, but has a shape of a moose's head. Harumi is stroking Mini's fur along with Rosa.

"Your fur is quite soft but striking," Rosa told Minimoose.

"I know, right!" Harumi agreed.

Zim walks up to Minimoose and stares at him, where Mini notices him and walks up to him, much to Harumi's dismay.

"H-Hey! I was... huh? Zim?" Harumi blurted out.

Zim uses his mechanical arm and strokes Mini's face, who purrs softly and rubs against his face. Zim softly smiles and closes his eyes where he embraces Mini, wrapping his arms around his long neck.

"It's you... it's really... you..." Zim muttered as his eyes start getting teary and shakes his head, "I'm... I'm so glad..."

"Zim... Gir...?"

Zim stops embracing Mini and turns to Dib, who just walks up to the group. The two glare at each other and Zim crosses his arm.

"Wha-What the hell do you want...?" Zim asked in a hostile manner.

"Your... Your eyes... you're crying," Dib pointed. "Is that... normal in defects?"

"... Huh?"

Zim touches his cheek, realising both of his cheeks are wet. His eyes widen and his mouth opens a bit, where even Tori shakes her head where she is completely baffled.

"You... You're right Dib," Tori agreed, "This is the first time I have seen him cry in years,"
"In years...?" Dib asked.

"Yes, the last time he cried was thirteen years ago," Tori told him, "It was when I repaired Gir."

"Zim?" Dib asked, "What... what exactly are you?"

"I-Zim's an irken, duh!" Zim shouted at him, "A pure-blooded irken!"

"Then why are you capable of defying your Tallests' orders?" Dib asked, "How are you able to create genuine emotions? Since when did you ever care about humanity?! It's pretty clear something is happening to you."

"...I... I... that's the question I been asking myself for months now..." Zim replied. "Something... is going on with me... I don't know why I just... a gut instinct as you humans call it."

"In that case, Tori can you scan him?" Dib asked her.

"I already checked his PAK a month ago, after that mess," Tori replied, "When I took off the hood, there was nothing unusual. Everything I check is perfectly normal."

"Mmm... I see..." Dib replied.

Rosa looks at Dib's hair and walks up to Dib, who notices her and raises an eyebrow.
"Ahem... who is she?"

"That's Rosa," Tori introduces her, "She's going to be our cleric since Valarie... well... isn't working for us and all."

Rosa suddenly plucks out a strand of hair from Dib, making him twitch and glares at her.
"What the hell was that-?"

"Your hair... how old are you?" Rosa asked while holding a white string of hair.

"..." Dib stayed speechless and looks away.

"M-Dib... your hair..." Zim said.

"... I think you should go to the infirmary and get that shit sort it out," Tori told him, "That shit is clearly not normal for your age,"

Dib bites his lips and replies, "I... I'm fine... there's nothing... nothing wrong with me, I swear!"

"No, that's a sign you're developing Marie Antoinette syndrome," Tori told him off.

"I... what's that?" Gir asked innocently.

"... It's a alleged condition where the hair suddenly becomes white," Tori explained, "As a result from extreme level of stress, in other words, he need to relief some stress before doing anything."

"No! I said I'm fine!" Dib denied it in a annoyed tone, "I-I am perfectly fine! There's nothing wrong with me!"

"..." Tori stays quiet as she walks up to Dib.
"Wha-What are you-"

Tori quickly takes out a syringe and puts it on his neck, causing his eyes to go dull and he collapses to the floor. Rosa, Harumi and Gir gasps with wide eyes while Zim shakes his head, Mini is in it's own world and Tori puts away her syringe.

"That should give him some shut eye..." Tori muttered as she takes up her phone and calls up, "Hey Leo!"

"Yo! What's up, Tori?" Leo replied through her phone.

"I need your help with picking up Dib," Tori explained, "He collapsed and need to be in the infirmary, also can you look after him for a bit."

"Oh shit! On my way!" Leo replied as he calls off.

Tori sighs as she puts away her phone and turns to Zim.

"Alright Zim, you need to be ready at night."Tori reminded.

"I know, I know." Zim replied.

"Yay! Night party!" Gir cheered.

"Ahem... what ready?" Rosa asked them.

"Yeah! What are you guys talking about?" Harumi asked.

"Nothing important," Tori replied, "Now let's go Zim."

"... Yeah," Zim agreed as the siblings leaves along with Gir and Mini.

Rosa, Drei And Harumi look at each other and Harumi asks, "What are those guys up to?"

"I... don't... know..." Drei replied.
