The silhouette opened its eyes. They glowed a soft purple, squinting with anger.
"You!" she pointed an accusatory finger at Dib, and then moved the finger to point at Zim, now so angry that her arm shook, "...and You! Zim!"
Zim returned the pointed finger "Who are you!?"
The stranger stepped out from the shadows. It was Tak. She was slightly taller now, her appearance more worn and rugged. There was a scar over her right eye, which was now discolored, more grey than purple. Her left antenna was broken, half of it missing and a lot more black had been worked into her new outfit.
Dib's eyes widened. "Tak!?"
"Wait! Who?" Zim questioned, now distracted.
"You have to be kidding me!" Tak yelled in exasperation. "You don't remember me??"
"Yyyeeeeeeee- no, I don't." Replied Zim, not gathering the danger of the situation.
Tak leaped forward like a sleek pouncing puma, tightening her thin, feminine, but extremely strong hands around Zim's fragile Irken neck. Zim tried to yell, but it came out as a gurgling squeak. From literally nowhere G.I.R. ran in with his cute little green dog suit. He gave Tak a big tackle-hug. "HELLO angry lady! Are we playing tackle!? I MISSEDED YOU!"
"Get off of me!!" Tak took a break from murdering Zim to remove the pesky, broken S.I.R. Unit from her back. Zim slipped away, coughing and gagging as whatever alien form of lungs he had tried to suck in precious air.
"Where's your kitty cat?" G.I.R. asked at a frequency that could cause a dog to get a migraine. He prodded Tak in the face and stuck his tongue out to emphasize his question.
Tak grabbed G.I.R.'s wrist so tightly that the metal limb underneath the soft velvety costume creaked and crumpled like a can of Poop Cola. She narrowed her eyes intensely and gritted her teeth tightly, through which she said. "You broke her!" Each word came out as a verbal punch, forceful and angry. She pulled G.I.R.'s arm toward her, snapping the hand from the wrist and tearing the fabric. As G.I.R. began to shriek at the top of his lungs, Tak looked coldly over at Zim, who was sitting up from his back, leaning on his elbows, and still catching his breath. She approached him and dropped G.I.R.'s tiny crushed hand into his lap. "This is only the beginning." She turned and left, silhouetted once again by the moonlight coming through the designated garage door.
