Operation: Incentive - Invader Zim fanfic (ZADF)

Confrontations.

Dib walked along the street, determined to get to Zim's house. Every inch of his skin was covered: He donned a face covering lab coat like his fathers, pulled on some black gloves and had Zita's stolen sunglasses on his nose. Nobody could recognize him like this.

He took a sharp right. Ignoring Zim's robot garden gnones and not bothering to knock, he opened the door to see the invader in his disguise, sitting on his couch with his little robot assistant, watching some kind of show.

"Zim!" He exclaimed.

Zim turned towards him.

"I've been expecting you!" He cried. "Mind closing the door though first?"

"But of course!" Dib replied, and did as requested.

"Thanks." said Zim. "Where was I? Oh yes... I've been expecting you, Dib!"

Dib wailed.

"What have you done to me, Zim? What is this?"

Zim didn't reply to the accusation, but instead walked to his little nightstand. He pressed a button, and slowly the desk raised upwards, revealing an elevator hatch below. He beckoned for Dib to follow him.

Dib obliged, and walked over.

The elevator started going down.

The pair remained in silence, as the elevator reached the desired floor (Dib assumed, he'd only been in here a couple of times). Zim went forward and Dib still followed obediently. They seemed to be in some kind of surveillance room. There were screens everywhere, two desks and a... a spaceship? It seemed an odd place to keep it, but Dib didn't see the importance of asking about it. Instead, he repeated his previous words.

"Zim, what did you do to me?"

Zim turned.

"As much as I detest you, Dib-Stink, I thought you might have realized by now." he said, smirking a little. "Take off the glasses."

"Why? What did you-"

"TAKE THEM OFF!" Zim wailed.

Dib obliged, and revealed his eyes. One looked normal, except maybe tinted a little azure, but the other looked like Zim's natural eyes, only blue.
Zim nodded in appreciation.

"Blue eyes are rare in an Irken. Naturally you get the red eyes like mine, and you get purple like Tak's, but orange, yellow and blue are all quite rare."

Dib was shocked - he simply didn't know what to say.

"Let me explain my GENUIS plan," declared Zim. "I asked you what your incentive was to fight me, correct?"

He continued once Dib nodded.

"You said, and I quote, 'Isn't protecting my species incentive enough?'. Protecting your species? Well that's simple enough to change. I used my own blood to mix a concoction of my own invention, an 'Irken - inator', of sorts, if you will. Injecting you with it was easy enough. You fell asleep at a desk. Rookie mistake." He shook his head. "You'll still protect your species, Dib. But that species is no longer the Urth people."

Dib stared at Zim, and found the courage to talk.

"You're a monster, Zim."
