(Continued from Part 1, Return of The Florpus)
With everyone on edge in this decayed world, stalked by Sinister and her beasts, our hero's will go though many challenges, learn and gain new skills, before they can return home to Earth.
Hannah woke up after a few hours had gone by. She looked over at Zim, who was still asleep under the blanket she made. She smiled happily, before leaning back up against the wall. She then put her hands together, brought them up to her chest, and closed her eyes. She remained silent in that position for a few minutes, that is, until she was interrupted by the sounds of Zim waking up.
Hannah smiled lightly as Zim sat up, noticing the blanket on him. "Hi Zim, did you sleep well?" Hannah asked softly. "Depends, did you do anything to me while I was asleep?" Zim asked. "Besides putting that blanket on you, no." Hannah answered. Zim huffed and sat up against the wall next to Hannah. "Why didn't you exact revenge when you had the perfect opportunity?" The Irken asked, looking away from Hannah. "Revenge...?" Hannah tilted her head to the side in confusion.
"You know, I killed one of your friends so that they wouldn't die a painful death. Shouldn't you be wanting to rip my face off right now?"
"Why in the world would you think I'd do that?" Hannah replied, a little surprise was mixed with her confusion. Zim made a frustrated groan as he curled up his legs. "I hate having to explain everything to someone that would never listen." Zim said sadly as he lowered his head.
"I-I'm listening. If you wanna talk about it, I'll be right here through the whole thing." Hannah replied reassuringly as she inches closer to the discouraged Irken. Zim refused to respond or even look at Hannah at first, but couldn't hold it. He just began talking, about his life back on his home planet. How he unintentionally killed two previous leaders. How he destroyed about half the planet, having no idea what he was doing at the time, and how he recently killed one of Hannah's friends, and left the other one to die a brutal death.
Zim then began saying what he had been told, how he was lied to, and how the people he looked up to, just abandoned him. He talked about how he was called a defect, and how he was often treated like he was a rabid dog that would mutilate anyone that got too close. Hannah listened and believed everything, knowing that he was honest with his words.
However, she suddenly noticed something that was off. An aura of darkness came from Zim's body, before it slowly ascended into the ceiling. Hannah began sensing Sinister's presence, and it was very strong. Zim sensed it too, but didn't react.

"Whatever you're gonna do to me, just do it. You'll be doing me a huge favour." Zim sadly told Sinister. Sinister's presence soon left the area, and the black aura disappeared.
Hannah sighed deeply in understanding, and prepared herself for her next words. "Zim, I got a question. I'm sorry if it might hurt your feelings even more, but I want you to be honest with me." Zim slightly turned his head to Hannah.
"Has anyone forgiven you for your actions before, that you know of?"
Hannah didn't get a response of any kind at first.
