I hope you guys are enjoying this because I am! Invader Zim belonged to Jhonen Vasquez and Richard Steven, but all of the OCs involved belongs to me.

Lily runs through the rainy night as she went upstairs and sees Min-Jung talking with Aezira.

"... What are they talking about?" Lily thought as she hides behind a tree to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"... You must be fucking insane!" Min-Jung accused her, "I mean, sure there's plenty of crazy shit going on at the moment, but this... I... I don't know what to say!"

"Oh really?" Aezira asked, "Of all the madness that has happened, this is considered the hardest to comprehend?"

"... Well... actually... thinking back on how much he looks like him... I guess I shouldn't be surprised..." Min-Jung replied, "But... I never thought they're the same person, especially since he's supposed to be dead..."

"Yea, well the world is going mad by this point," Aezira pointed out, "Well, you are gonna tell Lily about this, right?"

"But would she believe me?"

"... Trust me, honey, after all this time, I think she would believe you after all the insanity she endured," Aezira pointed out.

"... Good point."

"Well, I have to go now, ta-ta!" Aezira waves her hand farewell as she gathers up a bunch of bats and flies away as they carry her.

"..."

"... Min-Jung...?" Lily called out, catching the werewolf's attention.

"Lil'!" Min-Jung shouted as she runs up to her and embraces her, "Holy shit! Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?! Did Ate or Kronin did anything to you!?"

"Wha-Yes, I'm fine, just calm down!" Lily told her off.

"Oh... Sorry," Min-Jung apologised as she lets her go, "I guess I'm getting scared and stressed out during all this madness, huh?"

"I suppose,"

"Anyways, I got a shit ton of things to tell you," Min-Jung told her, "Especially during my spy days."

"Okay," Lily replied as she sits down on a bench, along with Min-Jung, "Let's hear it,"

"Okay, first... I found some weird project called project Separation," Min-Jung told her.

"What's that?"

"Well... it's said that the project involves breaking a soul into two pieces to avoid killing the host," Min-Jung explained, "Where one piece stays in the body while the other leave and either taken to another host or destroyed,"

"What's the purpose of that?" Lily asked.

"... Honestly, have no idea," Min-Jung admitted, "All I know it's bad news... as well as I found something else."

"Okay..."

Min-Jung takes out her phone and shows a hologram of a blueprint, showing the details of a girl with long hair.

"Who's that?"

"Doesn't say the name, instead it's said she's a Cyber Vessel EX," Min-Jung told her.

"A... Cyber Vessel EX?"

"Yep, it's basically a more advanced version of an Alter unit with the dragon blood and a god's soul." Min-Jung explained.

"If they're so advanced, why didn't they mass-produced it?"

"Simple; the materials are really hard to find, especially the dragon blood and it will take about years to finish it due to how rare the materials are," Min-Jung answered, "Same goes for another thing called Host ZX, except its only purpose is to host a god's soul, that's it."

"...And let me guess, Ate is using a Host ZX as her body," Lily said.

"Yep, though I don't think we need to worry about that Vessel EX," Min-Jung said.

"Why?"

"Simple, it's said that she died during the Kasai war when the bombing on the labs happened," Min-Jung told her.

"...Wait... the bombing..." Lily muttered.

"I'm sorry, but what did you say?"

"...I said the bombing... I... my memories are a little fuzzy, so I don't know if I was founded during the Kasai war or before..." Lily repeated herself, which makes Min-Jung's eyes widen in shock.

"... Well, who knows, most likely before the war since you're the same age as us and the war started about, like seven years ago, so I'm sure it's nothing... anyways, there's also something else... there's... something Aezira told me that took me off guard and... quite unsettling honestly..." Min-Jung admitted, trying to change the topic.

"... I... and that is..."

"...It's Professor Kronin..."

(Meanwhile with Dib)
(Dream)

Dib looks at his hands, which is stained with blood and a corpse in front of him, who is a man wearing a white male kimono and long black hair... and next to him is Ronin... with blood coming out of his eye...

(Dream ended)

"Gah!" Dib gasped as he looks around in panic, "...That dream again... why do I keep dreaming of that event... I can't remember anything about it, heck, I don't even know if it was real or not...?"

Dib notices... he's in Kronin's lab and the 'red paint', which is actually blood. He looks at his arm... which is now replaced by a robotic arm.

"Whoa... I... have a new arm..." Dib thought until he heard some humming, "Shit! Kronin is here! No... I... I can't just run away since he's a serial killer! He... he has to be punished! Especially all the pain he caused behind SEG's back..."

Dib slowly gets up from the table and slowly walks behind Kronin, who is working on a computer. He takes his deadly weapon from a table behind him and as he carefully sneaks behind Kronin...

(Meanwhile with Lily and Min-Jung)

"He's... a homunculus...?" Lily asked in shock, which Min-Jung nods.

"Yep, those type of zombies that was revived by magic." Min-Jung said, "Except you know... they don't look dead except their red eyes, dangerously pale skin and platinum blonde hair,"

"Yeah... I always found the fact he hides his eyes from others with a mask is odd, but now... it makes so much sense..." Lily said, which makes her eyes widen in shock, "Wait... no... it's..."

"Yep... it's exactly who you're thinking of," Min-Jung said, "It's him alright... he's back..."

(Meanwhile with Dib)

Dib gives a little zap on his shoulder, causing Kronin to look behind him, and then Dib punches his face so hard that he flies to a bunch of boxes and his mask broke.

"... Now... to arrest him..." Dib muttered as he walks towards Kronin and grabs him by the collar... but immediately drops him the moment he sees his face, "... T...that... that can't be... y... you..."

Dib starts to tear and shaking as Kronin looks at him with the same expression with his dull red eyes and facial features being very similar to Dib's.

"... Dib... is that... you?"

"... I can't believe it..." Dib said, "... Dad... yo...you're alive..."

A/N - Professor Kronin is actually the revived version of Professor Membrane! Before you said anything, it was foreshadowed when he first appeared as I describe his hair being "similar to Dib's" so that's a bit of a giveaway and a hint to his true identity.

Now, I'm not sure when the book will end, but I think a few more chapters, possibly around Chapter 10 will be the ending... again, not sure, but... well... I'll explain more details later when I finished this book.

I hope you guys enjoyed this part and if you did, leave a comment and see you next Thursday, my ninja clan. Kuno out!
