More and more blasts are happening in the battle as Artemis is continuously throwing light arrows at them while Zim is shielding with dark magic, which is slowly cracking due to the amount of power.

"Shit... if we don't do something fast... we're dead!" Zim thought as he looks at his left arm and gulps, "Oh boy... here I go..." "Hey, Artemisia! I have an idea!"

"Huh?" Artemisia blurted out, "Knowing you, it would be a bad idea."

"Just listen to me or we'll die!" Zim told her off as his shield is slowly, but surely cracking away.

"...Fine, what is it?" Artemisia asked.

"Just create a portal below me and distract her for Zim, got it!?" Zim told her.

"...Fine," Artemisia agreed, "If this plan fails, it's gonna be your fault, understood?"

"Yes, I am fully aware of that!" Zim replied, "Now do it!"

Artemisia nods and hits her blade to the ground, creating a portal underneath the irken and he jumps in while the knight rolls over before the attacks hits the ground and destroying that spot.

Artemis continues shooting many powerful arrows at her and completely distracted. The portal opens up as he jumps out and tackles her from behind.

"A-Ahh!" Artemis screamed in shock as she and Zim smash to the ground.

She tries to get up, but Zim suddenly grabs her with his right hand by the neck and put his left palm on her face.

"Le-Let go of me at once!!!" Artemis screamed at him, "Humanity must be destroyed! They caused nothing, but despair to the world!"

"Shut up!" Zim told her off, "... Lily... I know we have our differences in the past... but... despite how shitty the Earth is, there are good humans... you said despair, right? Well... you're the biggest idiot I have met!"

"... Wha-I... I do not understand..."
"See?! If you saw the evil side of mankind, then you must have seen the good in them!" Zim shouted at her, then calms down, "... I looked down on humanity as stupid and useless beings that should be enslaved... but now... after being saved and raised by a human mother as well as traveling many places... I learnt... humanity isn't as stupid as I thought..."

"Y-you're lying!" Artemis shouted at him.
"Shut up!" Zim shouted at her again, "Have you forgotten about your loved ones? Have you forgotten who you really are?! You're not a weapon of destruction... you're Lily Abernathy... a human girl... even if you're actually not... I know, deep down... you are..."

Suddenly, his left hand starts to glow, which Artemis grabs his hand and tries to pull away, but Zim is too strong for her to handle physically.

"... Curse breaker 999... wake up, Lily!" Zim shouted at her, "It's time to shape your own fate, Abernathy!"

The powerful burst of dark magic happens, causing Artemis to scream in agony while Zim's left hand is cracking... along with his entire arm as he grits his teeth and endure the pain he's suffering.

Suddenly, his arm completely shattered into pieces and Artemis' eyes turns from bleak yellow to bright blue as Artemis is gone... and Lily is back...

"...Huh...?" Lily muttered as she looks and sees Zim... with his left arm completely gone, "... Z-Zim!?"

"... F... finally... I... you're... back..." Zim muttered weakly with a faint smile, "I... I'm glad..."

Zim fell unconscious and fell to her lap, much to Lily's shock.

"... Z... Zim!" Lily cried as... for the second time in her entire time, she starts tearing up, "Z-Zim! W-wake up! P-please!"
