My Only The Only One

Chapter 1

Revenge. That was the only thing on one 'Invader' Zim's mind as he was led up to a massive podium, positioned in the gaze of one of the most powerful beings in existence. The Control Brain. One of many who over saw the irkens' mission for conquest of the known universe. No one knew where they came from, and if the Brains had their way, which they usually did, no one ever would. The only important thing was that they were all knowing and that the most powerful race in the universe followed their every command.

Soon after the conquest of Earth one of the seventeen located on Judgmentia had insisted he be moved there, to start the expansion to that side of the universe. As soon as he was locked tightly in one of the many eco domes bubbling up from the planet's surface to protect the irkens living there from the rain, Zim was put on trial.

Treason, murder, illegal hacking, these were just a few of the charges against him, all of which could result in his death.

"Irken Food-Service Drone Zim." The Brain addressed the small irken. "How do you respond to the charges brought up against you?"

Zim stared at the floor. This was all Dib's fault! If he hadn't gotten in the way none of this would have happened!

"Zim, how do you respond?" The Brain asked again.

"I'm innocent!" Zim instantly shouted. The race, it seemed, in unison, rolled their eyes. "It was all the human DIB's fault! I would have had this planet ages ago if it wasn't for him! I wouldn't have had to resort to the hacking! I could have made up for the other stuff!"

"You destroyed half our finest soldiers!" Red shouted, glaring at the smaller irken from another pedestal. "Nothing you could EVER do will make up for that!"

"Not to mention the deaths of two former Tallest!" Purple shouted in agreence.

"That wasn't my fault either!" Zim quickly said. "That was all that stupid La-!" But he was quickly cut off by the brain.

"Enough." He said, calmly but loudly. "I've heard enough. Judging will now begin." And with that a long tendril of a cord came down from the top of the dome, attaching itself to the bound and kneeling irken's pak, scanning through its memory.

Zim's breathing picked up. He knew what it would find there, he knew, he'd be absorbed, or worse, ERASED! He had to escape!

He looked around, quickly spotted two perfect scapegoats. "OVER THERE!" He shouted, motioning with a nod of the head two domes over. "Two humans! And unscheduled mating! They're sucking face!"

The crowd as a whole turned, including the Tallest, giving him the perfect opportunity to stand and turn, ripping the cord from his pak as he ran, arms bound behind his back slowing him down. However the head start he'd gotten from his diversion made it possible to leave the crowd.

The Tallest quickly turned and Red scowled. "Call the Elite!" He yelled, turning to one of his guards. "Don't let him leave the atmosphere!"

Zim ran out of the dome, heading straight for another. A parking dome wasn't too far away. Transporters led from there to the Earth's moon, which had been converted to a parking satellite.

"Hold it Defect!" A gruff voice called, making Zim pause and turn momentarily. He hurriedly continued running however at the sight of five irken Elites on his tail, concentrated plasma batons in hand.

He made it inside, knocking over two transporter maids in an effort to deter the trained soldiers, but they hopped over the make-shift speed bumps without missing a beat. Zim, however, was not one to lose hope. He'd gone through the same, rigorous training as the Elite, something the Tallest and everyone else quickly forgot in their joking and teasing of the ex-invader.
