(During night)
Zim sleeping on a couch... well... not exactly sleeping. Just dreaming with his eyes closed as irkens don't necessarily need sleeping. However, he feels a strange tingly feeling on his right hand, which he just ignored.
(Dream)
Zim slowly opens his eyes... where he sees a mysterious figure with a long coat on her. He slowly stands up as he gets a better look of the figure. The figure is an female irken wearing blue robes who is pretty tall; almost as tall as Zim.
She slowly turns around, revealing her pink eyes and pale green skin.
"Who... who are you?" Zim muttered in shock.
"... Kron..." The irken replied. "The very first Tallest's advisor... and there's someone behind you. Another me..."
Zim's antenna raises up and turns around where he sees a horrific, zombified female irken suddenly jump on him. That irken has blue, glowing eyes, pitch-black mouth and melting green skin as she gives a ear-piercing scream.
"YoU kIlLeDmE!" The monster screamed. "YoU kIlLeD mE! YoU kIlLeD mE! YoU kIlLeD mE!"
(Dream ends)
Zim suddenly wakes up in sweats as he starts breathing heavily and takes a deep sigh as he stretches the back of his head.
"... Activate Cube..." Zim said quietly; not wanting to wake up the others.
Cube appears before Zim and asks, "What is it master? Do you have any idea what time it is!?"
"Yes, I am aware!" Zim snapped back. "Just... want to ask a quick question."
"And that is?"
"... Who's Kron, exactly?" Zim asked him.
"... So that's it?" Cube asked him.
"Yes."
"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt." Cube replied back, "Advisor Kron is Tallest Xan's advisor. She is an ancient irken like him and was well known for her negotiating skills and wisdom, however after Xan's sudden death, she suddenly disappeared."
"Why did she disappear?" Zim asked.
"Nobody knows," Cube replied. "There are multiple theories, but no concrete evidence."
"What are those theories?"
"Some say she ran away when the new tallest created an Empire, some say she was assassinated," Cube explained. "And some say... which honestly the most outlandish one of them all."
"And that is?"
"Reincarnation," Cube replied. "She uses some kind of ancient magic to be able to reincarnate into different bodies to watch the Empire from afar, but of course. That's honestly stupid. There's no data on reincarnation and no proof of it."
"... I see," Zim replied. "Thank you."
"... Are you sick or something?" Cube asked harshly.
"... Fine, fuck off, then!" Zim told him off.
"There's the Zim I knew." Cube said before disappears.
Zim takes another deep breath as he shakes his head and looks at his right hand, where it's still recovering from the sudden injection caused by his new sword.
"Odd... it's slower than usual..." Zim thought as he tilts his head, "Whatever. I have more important things to worry like that weird...!!!"
(???)
A female irken wearing torn up, brown cloth lying on the ground with her blue PAK removed from her back. She weakly lifts her arm and quietly begs, "... Please... please..."
(??? Ends)
Zim gasps again and start breathing heavily as he shakes his head and thought, "What the hell was that?! Why the hell did that happen?! What the hell is going on here?! I have so much questions right now!"
Zim falls back on his bed and groans, "I'm definitely ain't relaxing tonight..."
(The morning)
Tori enters the room with a bucket of neutralised water where it wouldn't burn Zim like it normally does. She throws it at Zim, quickly waking him up in shock.
"Gah!!! What the Irk?!" Zim screamed in shock.
"We're heading out now," Tori told him, "Get ready and don't forget your disguise. We can't afford to fuck it up!"
"Ugh... fine!" Zim groaned as he starts mumbling to himself.
Tori closes the door as she looks at him with a frown and looks away with guilt in her eyes. She walks through the hallway while keeping all of her thoughts to herself.
How long can she keep those secrets? How long till those secrets get revealed? How will they react? Knowing them, she can already imagine they would not take the truth very well and possibly go the extra mile to getting themselves killed. In this case, she thinks it's better off they don't know than knowing the truth and it's better to know a sweet lie than the harsh and painful truth.
Tori arrives at her mother's office, where she takes a quick peak at the room as she sees her intensively watching the news about Ate. She can never forget that day... and there's no way her mother could forget that day either.
(15 years ago)
Mikala, with long hair with bright and lively eyes, cooking dinner while Tori, as a teenager, waited for the meal. Suddenly, they heard a doorbell and Mikala shouted, "Can you get for that, sweetie?"
"Sure, mum!" Tori replied.
She stood up from her table and walks to the door. She looked through the door hole first, where she sees no one, so she took a quick peak by opening the door a bit. She looked down and saw a brown cardboard box... with red liquid at the end. She smelt it and turned green due to the horrible, metallic smell to it.
She completely opened the door and peaked at the box, where she noticed a strand of blonde hair. Her face turned pale as she completely opened the box... seeing the head of her father.
"... Ah... AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Tori shrieked bloody murder as she fell down at the door.
"What's going on?!" Mikala screamed back.
Mikala rushed to the scene and her face turns pale as her eyes turns dull once she saw Askari's head.
(Flashback ends)
Tori shivers at the horrible memory. That event changed her mum completely from the serious, but caring and cheery woman... to the pessimistic, destructive and almost suicidal woman she is today. That event completely changes her view of her mother as she learnt about her father being one of the six mirages and her mother being an ex mercenary... well, now she's a renegade who wants nothing but Ate's head.
She takes a deep breath as she knocks the door, where Mikala said, "Come in!"
"..." Tori stayed quiet for a moment before she finally says, "... Mum... how long... how long do we have to keep secrets?"
"... For as long as we needed to," Mikala told her. "If it's revealed, there's nothing we could do."
"... What about Zim...?" Tori asked her.
Her mother suddenly switches off her TV and stands up, making Tori jump a bit as she starts explaining her that made the lead scientist's face turned pale and muttered, "... What."
(Meanwhile)
Lily grabs a orange wig and puts it on her head after she ties her hair into a small bun. She puts on a brown contact lense on her blue eye. Min-Jung enters her room, where she already dyed her hair black and wears yellow contact lenses while also wearing a red jacket.
"Ready?" Min-Jung asked her.
"... Yes." Lily replied.
She grabs her luggages and the two went out as they readied their stuff.
Later, they arrive at the cafeteria, where everyone except Dib and Valarie is here. Mikala stands in front of the crowd, where there are a few scientists with Tori in front as the lead scientist, a couple of soldiers and more. Lily sees Zim and Gir, both wearing their human disguises... the same disguises as she first met them in. Before this whole mess happened in the first place.
She stands next to Zim and Gir, along with Min-Jung. Mikala coughs a bit on her hand, which her eyes widen, but quickly tighten her fist and wipes something from her mouth.
"Everyone! We're going to Aromore city in England!" Mikala announced to everyone. "Thanks to the news and the help of the hacking squad, we need to arrive there before Ate does to prepare our ambush on her. Once we finally get rid of her, we can finally rest!"
"Yay!" Everyone cheered.
Lily gulps a bit where Min-Jung whispers, "Isn't that...?"
"Yeah... that's... where I was raised in..." Lily whispered back. "That place was my home... I... Keef and Skroodge is there too..."
"Oh shit!" Min-Jung groaned as her ears goes down.
"Yeah... this will be bad if Keef finds out..." Lily admitted to her.
"WAIT!"
Everyone turns around, where they see Dib, with his new weapon on his back, rushing in and struggling to get away from Valarie's psychic grip.
"C-Come back here!" Valarie shouted at him.
"No! Mikala!" Dib screamed.
"Oh fuck..." Zim groaned in agony.
"I-I'm coming!" Dib told them. "I need to fucking kill her! I-I need to!"
"Dib! You're not mentally-!" Valarie tried to stop him.
"Sure." Mikala replied.
"M-Mikala, are you sure that's a-"
"You're coming too, Valarie," Mikala told her, "You have no choice in this!"
Valarie stays quiet while Dib takes a deep breath as he replies, "Thank you... I wouldn't be a burden. I promise!"
"Good, you better be!" Mikala replied. "Now! Let's kill that witch!"
"YAY!!!" Everyone except Rosa, Tori and Lily cheered loudly.
Tori stares at her mother and glances at Zim with a concerning look to her eyes. Rosa refuses to look at Tori in the eyes, and Lily stares at Dib with an awful gut feeling to all this, especially bringing Dib to all this.
