Invader Zim AU: Arc 2

Speacial thanks to @l-ii-zz for being the inspiration behind this AU.

ARC 2

Things go well for Zim and the Membrane family, until the Massive arrives on Earth and Captures Membrane, Dib and Zim, leaving only Gaz and GIR behind. With no time to lose, Gaz takes control of Tak’s old ship, since Zim’s Voot Cruiser was destroyed by the Tallests, and flies out to space to head to the Massive.

Speaking of Tak, she and GIR find her and her SIR unit injured and decided to take care of their wounds. When Tak woke up, she prepared herself to fight after seeing Gaz, only to be in shock when she saw that Gaz was an actual Irken the whole time, even more so when she caught up with what happened on Earth the last time she was there before being defeated by Zim. After processing everything, the two girls agree on a truce in order to save Zim and Gaz’s family from the Tallest.

Meanwhile, in the Massive, Dib and Membrane ae forced to be examined and be experimented on, while Zim learns and comes to terms with the fact that GIR was intentionally made out of garbage, all while the three of them get constantly mocked by the Tallest.

While Gaz and Tak reach for the Massive, they begin to bond, with the latter questioning both herself and her kind’s purpose. They eventually arrive and sneak onboard the Massive. While searching for Zim and the others, they make shocking discoveries about Irk’s past, which involve both Membrane back when he was Zim’s size and the reason as to why Zim was defective in the first place. This is what turns their truce into an official partnership, as they rush to stop the Tallest from executing Zim, Dib and Membrane. When they reach the main hall, Gaz and Tak rescue Zim and the others on time, but are personally chased by Red and Purple.

When the group reach a dead end, the Tallest were about to end it all, until Gaz and Tak expose them with their discoveries of Red and Purple’s past. Red tried to convince the group that it was all a lie, but Purple had a crisis about what to believe, ticking Red off, as he argues with him, until Membrane and Zim take away Purple’s will to do anything at the moment. This enrages Red, as he and a few guards fight the group, who were successful on killing the guards, but at the cost of Zim being unconscious.

When Membrane personally deals with Red, he was about to be critically injured, until Dib pushes his father to the side by jumping in the way and taking the hit instead. Seeing this, Membrane is enraged and tries to kill Red. While he deeply injures Red, the Tallest was able to injure him back, along with damaging his PAK. This sends Gaz into a rage, mercilessly hurting and killing Red. She then tried to go after Purple, who was scared upon seeing her, but was stopped by Tak, who helps her realize her actions. After calming down, Gaz picks up both her brother and father and rushes to a medical bay nearby.

Tak, able to wake up Zim, reunites him with GIR, gets him up to speed on everything that happened after he passed out, and explains her current situation, along with telling him that Gaz needs him. Although he was suspicious of Tak, Zim trusts her and advises her to keep an eye on Purple, to which she immediately agrees on, while having her SIR unit show the entire Irken race the truth she and Gaz uncovered.

When Zim finds Gaz, he is shocked to see both Dib and Membrane in such massively injured states and helps her getting them in a more stable condition. After that, Gaz explains her current situation and dilemma about herself and breaks down when she reveals her struggles and self-doubt. Zim, in his own way, of course, snaps Gaz out of her breakdown and comforts her, when went with success. Then Dib wakes up and was able to give his sister the reassurance she needed.

After he and Membrane were able to recover enough strength in order to walk properly, they, Zim and Gaz were surprised to see Purple being so remorseful about his actions, currently and previously, especially towards Membrane, who was there ever since Red and Purple were smeets. After exchanging some words with each other, everyone, including Gaz, forgives Purple, who promises to bring Irk into a better era. They then announced the changes being made to Irk, along with beginning an initiative to reconcile with the planets and galaxies they conquered and restore them to their former glory.

After things get resolved, Zim finishes reconciling with Tak and offers her a chance to stay on Earth. Tak thanks him for the offers, but says that she’ll stay on Irk to help Purple with the changes that are to come, to which Zim understands. He and the Membrane family prepare to leave and return to Earth, but not before Gaz and Tak exchange goodbyes.

Invader Zim AU: Arc 1

Speacial thanks to @l-ii-zz for being the inspiration behind this AU.

ARC 1

A year after Enter the Florpus, Dib gets bored one day and decides to search for something he had in the basement, which leads him to accidentally finding a secret passageway. He shows it to his father, Professor Membrane and his sister, Gaz, who regain memories about their past life as Irkens, along with the ability to recognize everything that’s alien, Irken included. Their past, clashing with their recent memories, made them realize the consequences of their actions towards Dib, even more so when they enter the passageway, uncovering the truth about themselves and especially about Dib’s birth and life as an Irken. When the two come clean about everything, Dib, shocked by this revelation, along with pent up rage from what his dad did to him finally being let out, emotionally spirals, and despite Membrane and Gaz’s best to calm him down and try to explain, they were futile, for things escalate and everything takes a dark turn, where Dib’s real form, his Irken form, reveals itself, as he goes on a crazed, bloody, city-wide massacre, in search of his family, so that he can kill them.

Speaking of his family, Membrane and Gaz get Zim, who felt worthless and hopeless after finding out the truth regarding his “mission”, involved and escape Dib’s wrath. When finding a safe place to rest, the fugitives explain their current situations to each other and team up to stop Dib before he emotionally spirals further. When they return to town, they are horrified to see it turned into a warzone; dead bodies everywhere, mutilated and destroyed in every way possible, blood everywhere, destroyed property, fires ablaze all across the streets and destroyed police cars all across the road.

When they are found by Dib, they end up being chased at every nook and cranny, as he destroys everything in his way while chasing down his prey, in every scary way imaginable, even killing a few survivors along the way, in ways that were able to scare them, even Gaz. After being chased around, they fight Dib, who was able to overpower Zim and the Membranes whenever he got the advantage, even damaging GIR to the point where he was deactivated by force. He was eventually defeated, but at the cost of him passing out due to his PAK malfunctioning thanks to his emotional spiral. This victory also came at the cost of Gaz’s PAK being completely destroyed and the death of Minimoose, who was crushed by Dib’s bare hands.

During the passing month, Zim and the Membrane family recover and fix their wounds, along with Membrane having to build a new PAK for Gaz, while they work on Dib’s PAK, thinking about their actions towards him during a few breaks. Dib eventually wakes up with a repaired and upgraded PAK, yet succumbs into a deep depression, and to make it worse, while he may have forgiven Zim and his sister, he was still mad towards his father.

2 weeks passed by and little has changed. Dib spent most of his time in his room lying on the floor, while his PAK acted like a hostile guard dog, only going to other rooms to either eat or check on the others, except for his father of course. Speaking of which, Membrane spent his time in his lab, feeling guilty for the events that had happened. Gaz and Zim are at a loss on what to do, until the former reminded herself of a plan she spent the other day and night making, one she decided to set in motion. Zim, interested on this plan, decides to participate.

He enters Dib’s room to try to talk to him. This goes according to plan, as Dib talks to him about his identity crisis and how ironic it was for him to try to expose Zim for being an alien when he himself was one all this time. Zim in return explains his current situation, about his mission and lack of purpose. The 2 boys come to realize that they could be friends and learn from each other. After talking to Dib, Zim talks to Membrane, telling him to stop sulking over what happened and giving him advice as to how to make amends with “what he calls his son-unit”, along with sharing his talk with Dib.

On Gaz’s side of things, she gets to talk to her brother, who talks about his insecurities about his worth as both a human and an Irken. Gaz suspects that it’s because their father considered her his favorite, to which Dib confirms, yet adds details that leave his sister heartbroken and shocked. However, Gaz was able to comfort Dib as he began to breakdown. She then goes to her father and confronts him about his current state and advises him to approach how he comforts Dib, along with sharing her talk with her brother. This gets Membrane thinking hard on what to do for the rest of the day.

At night, Dib stayed awake thinking about the previous events, along with his conversations with Dib and his sister. Next morning after breakfast, Membrane and Dib finally get to talk to each other face-to-face. When the latter starts the conversation by asking why the truth about their lives was hidden, the former tells the truth about it, by giving his son answers about his past and to how he, Gaz and Dib came to be.

Dib explains why he is the way he is, but was having reminders about his bad luck, along with memories of it coming from his father and of him being in a lab. Beginning to break down, Dib assumes that his father intentionally gave him his bad luck for the sake of relief. Membrane, shocked at this assumption, denies this and tries to calm his son down, but to no avail, as he continues to break down, looking back at his entire life, connecting it to recent events and what his father just denied, and was about to spiral out of control, until Membrane hugs him, reassuring him. Dib, still breaking down, continues to deny the truth, but it was until Gaz came, hugging him and reassuring him that overwhelms him emotionally, as he lets out all the tears and emotional baggage within him for a minute and a half.

After that, the family talks things over, giving Dib the closure he longed for after so long. Zim, watching from a room outside the one the Membrane family were in, was finally understanding of human emotions and decides to make his own mission: to study everything Earth has to offer, live among it’s creatures and help Dib learn more about Irkens and himself.

Unpopular opinion time: irken membrane > clone dib

While Dib as a clone makes more sense,it adds very little to the story as the only thing you can do with it is make a small amount of Dib angst. Membrane being an irken who came to earth has way more potential plot-wise, and can shift focus to other characters as well.
