The Irken And The Earthling's War And Love
Chapter 1
~Last Words~
Rated: Teen.
Rated For: Language, violence, and blood.
I do not own Invader Zim and never will. It belongs to it's creators. I have mearly made this fanfiction out of love for the series.
By the way, this is a ZaDr story, which means it's a Zim X Dib pairing. Just a warning to people who aren't into it. That's all. Now, on with the story! ^^
He opened his eyes slowly, and scanned the dark hues untill his eyes focused. He slowly sat up in his bed, and looked out the window to his right. The sky was pitch black, aside from the bright lights of the moon and stars which dotted the sky endlessly. With a sigh, he turned his head towards the alarm clock on the night stand. It was 2:33 in the morning, and he was exhausted. He couldn't sleep though, and he really didn't understand why.
"Gahh....Zim...." He complained to the darkness in his room. "Zim just won't give up and return to his own planet, will he? What is an Irken's planet like, anyways? Better yet, why do I care?" Dib sighed. "Nobody believes me no matter what weird things he does....then again, almost everyone on this planet is retarded..." He shook his head lightly. "Well, I better try to sleep. Maybe tommorrow I'll feel a bit better." He said quietly.
Dib laid back down as he covered himself with the blanket. He curled up in a ball as he stared aross the room at the other wall. He closed his eyes, and tried to relax himself, but he felt...anxious. 'What's going to happen tommorrow..? There's always something new.' He thought. 'But...it feels different than normal. Why?' He then slowly drifted off into sleep...
~Skool, Morning~
Dib slowly walked into the room to see all seats filled aside from the few stragglers, including Zim. He walked over to his seat, dropped his backpack on top of the desk, then sat down. He straightned his coat a little as the little alien walked into the room. Dib glared at Zim as he made his way to his desk to sit down.
"So Zim, what are you going to do today? Shoot me with lasers, maybe sick your dog on me?" Dib sarcastically cracked at the now seated alien.
Zim looked over at Dib innocently. "Oh, would I ever do that to you?" He asked in an innocent tone.
"Com'on Dib, don't you think you take this stuff over board?" One of the girls in the class asked.
"Yeah Dib, Zim never does anything. Why are you always so mean to him?" One of the boys inquired.
"Yeah, why are you so into aliens?" Another boy asked.
"Why are you so weird?!" A girl asked.
Soon the entire room was bombarding him with questions. The teacher glared at the clock as she impatiently tapped her fingers on her desk. Dib sighed as he looked down at the desk. Zim smirked like he had done something miraculous by riling up the whole room.
The school bell rang, and the teacher cleared her throat loudly to catch the attention of the students. "Alright, all of you shut up already. We all know Dib has something wrong with his brain, there's no need to bother him about it." She said.
Dib shot her a quick glare as Zim stifled a laugh.
"Now, take out your text books." She barked at the class.
Dib unzipped his bag and reached his hand inside. He felt around for the hard texture of the book, but all he felt was notebook covers, pens, pencils, and erasers. He then pulled his hand out and looked around inside, attempting to find the book, but to no avail.
Everyone already had their textbooks on their desks and opened. Dib looked up nervously at the teacher as he zipped the bag shut. "Umm....I can't find my book." He said quietly, causing the whole room to look at him.
"What?" The teacher asked. She glared him down, making him shrink back into his seat more. "If that's the case, then share with someone." She said, apparently not thrilled.
Dib looked around the classroom as everyone stared at him nervously, like they were afraid of him looking on with them. "Uhh...will somebody let me read on with them?" He asked as a droplet of sweat slid down the right side of his face. Nobody made a sound.
"Dib, find someone!" The teacher yelled at the small boy, her face growing red with anger.
"Please..?" Dib squeaked out to the room. Still nobody responded, but Zim smiled a huge smile at the boy's dismay.
"That's it!" The teacher slammed her hand down on her own textbook. "Dib! Read on with Zim! Stop wasting my time!!" She yelled at him.
Dib turned around to stare at her in shock. "ZIM?! Why him?!!" He yelled at her.
"BEACAUSE I SAID SO!!!" She screamed, making every human in the room shrink back in their seats.
Dib sprung to his feet, snagged his bag, and bolted to the alien's seat. There were no extra seats in the room, and the desks around the green Irken's desk were filled with humans, so Dib stood there looking around, trying to figure out what the hell he could do. He sighed as he relised he could do nothing but stand, so he dropped his pack on the floor an turned towards the alien's desk.
"Class, turn to page 121. Quickly!" The woman bitched.
Zim opened the book and reached the correct page. He then looked up at Dib. The human was giving Zim a very sour look by just standing in his presence. Zim just smiled at the boy, causing him to turn his look even more sour than it was.
"Dib, read the first four paragraphs to the class." The teacher commanded, trying to pester the annoyed kid more than he already was.
With a sigh, Dib looked down at the page. Zim's claw was stretched across the page. Across the part of the page Dib needed to read. Dib growled a low, deadly growl at the alien as he looked up at the human with a devious smirk.
"Dib! Read the page already!!" The woman yelled at the boy.
"Zim won't let me read the page!" Dib whined in retaliation.
"Well, that's not my problem! You should have brought your own book, if you had, you wouldn't have this problem now, would you?" The teacher said.
"Yeah..." Dib muttered. He then looked down at the alien. "Zim let me read the page." He said.
"Oh, but I didn't hear that...polite word...did I?" He questioned slowly as his smirk widened.
Dib shot a full-on glare at the Irken. "P-L-E-A-S-E..." He said loudly, slowly, each letter rang out dramatically long.
Zim turned his grin into a kind smile. "No." He said simply. Then, to annoy the human further, he added "Thank you for asking, but my hand is comfortable right where it is."
Dib was about to smash the alien's claw with his fist at this point. "Com'on Zim!!" He yelled as he wrapped his human fingers around the Irken's clawed fingers, trying to pry the claws off of the book's page.
"I said NO, human filth!!!" The Irken yelled back, using his strength to not let his claw be taken away from the book.
"Zim!!!" Dib yelled, as he clutched the alien's claw with his whole hand, trying to pry the entire claw off all together now.
"Dib, that's enough!!" The teacher yelled, changing her mind about the whole entire situation. She then pulled out a pink slip of paper as she started to write a detention for Dib, and Dib alone.
Dib was tired of dealing with everyone's BS, though. He started to dig his nails into the alien's claw, which in turn made Zim very upset. He then took the claw he didn't want to take off the book, and suddenly smacked Dib across the face with the back of his claw. This made Dib immediatly release Zim's claw on contact, and his head twirled to the right with the force. He slowly turned his head towards Zim, to reveal four long scratches on his left cheek, which were starting to quickly bleed. The class went dead silent as the warm blood started to slide down his face, intertwining and creating a huge streak of blood just flowing down his face. Zim just stared up at the boy, a bit afraid as he didn't actually mean to do this at all. He was just upset, and wasn't being careful.
Dib knelt to the floor and grabbed the strap of his pack, then swung it over one shoulder. He then stood, and slowly, made his way to the teacher's desk. He just silently stood there, awaiting a pass to go to the nurse. The teacher was smart enough to know that's what he wanted, so she grabbed the nurse's pass, an handed that, along with the detention, to the child. Dib then walked out of the room, and towards the nurse's office.
Zim looked down at his claw that he struck the Earthling with. There was blood covering the tips of each claw. It happened so fast that it had the Irken in a bit of shock. He may be enemies with Dib, but he doesn't like to cover his hands in blood....especially in real blood. The teacher started to read herself as the Irken stared at the blood on his claw.
~Skool, Nurse's Office~
Dib arrived and walked over to the counter. The blood was still dripping all over the place, and it wouldn't let up much. She looked up at him, and her face turned a tad worried. "Umm...what happened to you?" She asked him.
Dib just shook his head. "Nevermind...um, could you please take care of it?" He asked.
She nodded and pulled a first aid kit out from a shelf below. "Hey Audrey! We have a bleeder!! Get the stiches out!" The nurse called.
Dib sighed. This day just sucked. "Can I...please go home after this..?" He asked quietly.
"Sure. We'll call your father, alright?" The nurse asked. Dib nodded sadly in response.
~Dib's Home, Afternoon~
Dib sat glumly on the couch as he flipped through the channel's on the television rapidly, not giving a channel more than four seconds before changing it to the next station. The four deep scratches on his face were stiched, and they hurt somewhat. With a sigh, Dib punched in the channel number for the news, then tossed the remote on the otherside of the couch.
Dib yawned as he leaned back against the couch. The news was talking about some dog almost getting run over by a car. He didn't really pay much attention as he felt his eyes growing heavy. Well, he didn't pay much attention until he heard this.
"The dog seemed to be running from something. A witness saw a strange, what he described to be an "alien", attcking this dog before it ran into the street." Dib's jaw dropped as he continued to listen to the news reporter. "The witness describes this "alien" life-form to "have light blue scaley skin, black eyes with white pupils, around the size of an adult human, and to look somewhat human in basic shape, such as having legs, arms, a head, and other things like a human has, for the most part. We don't know what this witness saw for sure, but if this thing turns up again, we will provide as much information as we can."
By the end of that sentence, Dib had already disappeared...
~Zim's Home~
Zim arrived at his home. "Finally! I'm finally home. GIR!" He called to the front door as he reached it.
The door swung open as the two robots who were supposed to represent Zim's "parents" came forth welcoming him home. Then GIR in his little doggie suit ran out of the door, and clung to Zim. Zim let him cling to him, but with a sour look on his face. "...Hello GIR." He said. He blinked. "Now GET OFF OF ME!!" He yelled.
GIR let go and stood staring up at his master blankly. He then looked past Zim, into the front yard. "Hello spikey-haired Earthling." He said happily.
"What?" Zim asked as he turned around. His eyes landed on the one human that annoyed him the most on this planet; Dib. Dib was glaring at the alien with crossed arms, the reflection of the sunlight on his glasses only enhanced the glare to be more menacing.
"Zim! I know what you did! Showing yourself in public, you're really getting over confident in yourself, aren't you?" He called to the Irken.
Zim tilted his head to the side, genuinely confused by this. "What are you talking about, Dib?" He asked.
"Stop playing innocent with me, alien!" Dib shot back. "You better know your limits, I won't let you hurt anyone!" He yelled as his left hand slid to his wounded cheek.
Zim cocked an eyebrow. "Um....what ARE you talking about, human?" He asked again.
Dib gritted his cheek. "From now on, I'll be doing some night patrols! You'll see!! You can't get away from this forever!!!" He yelled. He then took off down the street, heading towards his own home.
Zim turned back to his companion GIR, seeing him just sitting on the floor of the living room smiling up at him. "GIR, do you know what he was talking about?" Zim asked, so confused by his encounter with Dib that he can't even remember that GIR knows almost nothing about anything.
GIR scratched his head. "I don't..." He said in a drawn out way. "Want me to look?" GIR asked.
Zim blinked in surprise. "You actually want to look into this..? Actually want to find information about this??" He asked the small robot.
GIR blinked. "I want to run around outside!" He yelled cheerfully.
Zim sighed as he face-palmed. "Fine, GIR. Go run around somewhere..." He said. "But keep the dog suit on and don't attack anything, got it? Not now...I need to look into what that human was talking about." He said.
"YAY!!!" GIR yelled happily as he threw his hands up in the air. He then took off to run around outside for a while. Zim mearly shook his head and walked in the house, shutting the front door behind himself.
He headed towards the trash barrel at the other end of his house. 'Dib...what was he talking about? I never wish to reveal my identity to the public eye of human filth.' He thought.
Zim arrived in the kitchen, and walked straight over to the trash can. He stomped on the pedal that made the lid pop up. He then jumped up onto the lip of the can, and hopped onto the platform inside, and waited patiently as the platform lowered slowly and the trash can's lid shut.
The platform slowly lowered down the long tube to the floor far, far below. Zim hopped off the platform and walked over to the computer he had down there. He switched through a few screens on it, then came across a newer addition to his computer. It was an area scan initiation, and this worked by GIR. "If GIR is on a walk, I can use this, and he will automatically record everything he sees onto this computer, and I can watch it in case he sees something suspicious that could give me clues." He said to himself. He pressed the button to initiate this command and kicked back in his chair as a screen popped up showing what GIR was seeing.
~Meanwhile, Dib's Home~
Dib was up in his room preparing for the night's patrol. He sat cross-legged on his bed with a laptop sitting in front of him. He was looking on the Internet about anything weird he could find on this thing that was reported on the news, but there were no reports listed on it. There wasn't even a report about it on the news's main website, which he found strange. On top of that, he had the news channel on, and it's been on for hours, but nothing more had come up about the report.
'This is really weird....maybe it was a dream, maybe I dremt that I saw that report on the television.' Dib thought to himself. 'Or maybe...maybe the report was casted only once. Perhaps it was, I mean, first of all, no kids were home at the time because of school. Also, most adults would be working at that time, aisde from people with night jobs, who would be sleeping.' Dib's eyes widened as he realised he was onto something. 'If I'm right, then either they think the witness is crazy, or they're trying to cover this up. Maybe the witness forced them to put the report up, and they agreed to show it only once, when nobody was home.'
Dib nodded at the thought. 'I bet they're covering it up. But then again, everyone thinks I'm crazy, so maybe they honestly don't believe the witness. In fact, the witness could be going to great lengths to get them to report it.' He thought. He then looked over at the television in his room. He hopped off the bed and walked over to the old VHS player he still had. He grabbed a blank tape, popped it in, and grabbed the remote. He then clicked through a couple of menu options, and set the thing to record some of the news casts tommorrow, around the times when nobody is home, in case something more on the situation is reported.
He glared at the screen as he shut it off. 'Zim...I will stop you. I bet you've either run through the city in your true form and that witness was very color blind, or you've unleashed something into the city.' He thought to himself. The only thing that confused him at this point, were the alien's eyes. 'Thing is....Zim doesn't have pupils in his eyes. They're just...red.' He then expanded his thoughts even more. 'Then again...he's extremely short, and the witness saw something very tall. If it's tall....then what IS it..?' He shook his head as he went back over to his bed. 'I'll worry about this tonight, for now, I need to prepare for the night.' He thought as he climbed back up on his bed. He then went back to typing on the laptop, trying to find more information, if he could.
~Dusk, Zim's Home~
Zim had his head proped on his hand as his elbow stuck to the chair's arm like glue. His eyes were half lidded as he watched the screen before him. It was moving up and down rapidly, just showing streets, sidewalks, trees, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Three hours..." Zim said aloud in the darkness of the underground base. "It's been three hours, and GIR has found absolutely, positively, NOTHING useful." He grounded out. He gritted his teeth as a growl erupted from his throat. "THIS IS REDUICULOUS!!! Why can't that HUMAN FILTH just explain himself to me?!!" He yelled as he sprung out of his seat.
Zim stomped around the room, angry, wanting to kick Dib's ass, and tempted to plan something to annihilate the black-haired boy. He saw a random box sitting on the floor, and figured immediately that GIR must have left that there. He stormed over to it and kicked it with such force, it slammed into the keyboard of one of the computers in the room, and the screen started flashing white.
"What did I do?!" He yelled out of anger as a weird sound, like a key continuously being pressed rapidly, went off. He ran over to the computer and shoved the box onto the floor. He then stared up at the computer's screen as the flashing stopped. The screen turned black, and then green words started to flow continuously across the screen. He tilted his head to the side and then tried pushing different buttons, like escape, delete, control, alter and delete, but nothing worked.
"Evil computer! Work already!!" He yelled at the screen. He turned his head towards the screen with GIR's line of vision on it, to see he was mearly running around a tree right now. He sighed from annoyance, shook his head, and focused his attention on the computer he's screwed up, to try to fix it.
~Meanwhile, Dib's Home~
Dib was almost completely ready for the patrol as he slipped his other boot on. He looked over to his left to see he had a small arsenal of weapons laid out on the bed he sat on, consisting of a combat knife, a laser gun, and a small handgun. He slipped the combat knife in his coat's left sleeve, in a small inner sheath made for quick access. He designed it so he can remove it when he didn't want it as part of his coat. He equipted the laser gun in a holster on his belt on the left side, and the handgun went in a holster on the right side. He had a couple of small bullet cases on the bed as well, to his right, and he grabbed them and stuffed then into his back pockets of his jeans. Wearing his normal clothes, of course, he was prepared to go out into the night to patrol. He figured he'd be out untill about 11 or midnight, so he was prepared to be pretty tired in school the following morning, but he didn't care. Earth's safety was his number one priority at this point.
Dib got up and walked over to the window. He unlocked it, so he could get in and out of it without anyone knowing. He started to open the window slightly, but froze at the loud voice of his father from downstairs.
"Daughter!! Where do you think your going, young lady?! I'm not finished speaking to you!" Dib heard his father, Professor Membrane, yell at his sister.
"To my room, Dad!" She yelled back. Dib slowly closed his window back down completely.
"Daughter! You got an F! Why?! What on Earth have you been doing that's so important that you get an F?! And in science, of all subjects!!" Dib heard his father yell.
"Look, I just did, alright?! It's not that big of a deal!" Gaz retaliated.
"Yes it is, daughter!" Dib's father yelled back.
"Why?! Are you going to feed me more of that "it's for your future" trash?! Just drop it already!!" Gaz screamed.
Dib slowly made his way to his room's door, and slowly opened it, soundlessly, so he could listen in. It wasn't often that his father and his sister fought.
"Daughter, your future is important, but if you want another reason, it's because your much smarter than this! I kno-"
"Whatever!! This is stupid! I'm leaving!!!" Gaz yelled. Dib then heard her fast foot steps, then a loud bang.
"Gaz!! Wait a minute!! Don't leave the house, that's dangerous!" Dib's father yelled. The house then became unsettlingly quiet.
Dib shook his head as he silently shut his door, then locked it. He ran to his window and opened it wide. He was worried about his sister, and his father was right, especially with aliens around, everything was dangerous these days. He hopped out the window onto the roof that was just below it, he shut the window most of the way, then reached his left hand into his front jeans pocket and pulled out a small, hard, wooden square block, and stuffed it in the window cill. He then shut the window on it. This left the window open wide enough for Dib to open it from the outside, but not to be noticable for other's to try to break into his room.
He then spun around, ran foward, jumped towards a huge flagpole that was on the lawn, and gripped his hand around it enough for him to swing around it and land on the ground. It was a bit of a rough landing that made him drop to one knee and one foot, but he stood up after a few seconds of pain, and bolted towards the very front of the house. He had enough time to look down both sides of his street, and see Gaz take off down one of the streets, turning to the right and out of his sight. He charged down that street, and headed left in search of his angry sister.
~Meanwhile, Zim's Home~
Zim was sitting in the chair again, panting slightly. He had just fixed the computer finally, and was now watching GIR's vision again. He was hoping the small robot would bring in SOMETHING he could use, but he was a bit doubtful at this point. All he could do was wait and see.
~Back To Dib, 10 Minutes Later~
Dib was breathing hard as he continued to run after Gaz. He was glad he knew the city as well as he did, something he could...KIND OF thank Zim for, since Zim kept him on his feet all the time. He turned another corner around a random building, then slid to a stop, almost falling on the pavement of the sidewalk, but catching himself as his hand thrusted down, and he dropped to one knee. He looked up at what made him slide to a stop.
Gaz, his sister, was lying down in the middle of the street a tad bit ahead of him. She had a huge bruise on her head and she was a bit scratched up here and there. "GAZ!!!" Dib yelled as he ran over to her. He dropped to his knees beside her, lifted her head into his own arms, and propped her up against him. She was staring up at him with zoned-out eyes. "Gaz! What happened to you?!" Dib asked loudly.
Her eyes turned from completely not there, to half zoned-out and half annoyed. "...Your bleeding on me." She said quietly.
Dib looked down and saw that the hand he used to catch his fall was scraped and thus getting her hair a little bloody, but he shook his head. "Who cares? Gaz, tell me what happened to you!" He said, concerned about her no matter how badly she treated him.
Gaz sighed as her eyes dropped to her own hands, which she twitched a bit now and then. "....I don't know what it was, but it attacked me. About 5 minutes ago, it attacked me." She started saying. "It had blue skin, not green like your friend." She mentioned.
Dib growled with anger. "Zim isn't my friend!!" He yelled.
"Relax..." Gaz took a deep breath to finish what she had to say. "Dib...I know it's some sort of alien, but it spoke to me. It said that humans and Irkens must all die, then it attacked me." She said. "Something....something else told me this as I was attacked. It said th-that if humans and Irkens work together...humans have the knowl..age to defeat them, and I-Irkens have the technology to...ah..." Gaz choked the end out as she shook in pain.
"GAZ!!" Dib screamed.
Gaz slowly shook her head. "The knowl.....he......t......sa....." Her voice mumbled.
"Gaz...I can't hear what your saying..." Dib said quietly to the girl.
Gaz grabbed Dib's shirt's collar and pulled on it hard, lowering his head towards her. She lifted her head so his ear matched the level of her mouth. "....The Heart...." She whispered. She then started coughing and Dib jerked his head away from her to look down at her.
"Gaz..." He whispered as he watched her frantically cough.
Suddenly, a flash of light shot out of the darkness and struck her in the head. Gaz went limp and Dib jerked his head up to see the strange being that's been the talk of the day, today. He softly put his sister into an as-comfortable-as-possible position on the street, then he slipped his coat off quickly and tossed it over her to keep her as warm as he could for right now. He then quickly got up on his feet as the alien approched the two siblings.
"YOU!!! You hurt Gaz, didn't you?!" He yelled at the being.
The alien blinked at him, then cracked a wide, twisted grin as it beared it's large, plentiful fangs. "Humans....sensitive, slow responsive creatures. They disgust me. You humans match with Irkens all too well, those creatures that aren't as sensitive, but respond too fast. I hate you ALL!!!" It screamed as it charged foward.
Dib pulled his laser gun out and started shooting it, causing the alien to freeze in its tracks as it laughed at him. "HUMAN!!! Your weapons may hurt but they'll NEVER be as effective as an Irken's weapon is!!" The alien yelled at the human boy.
Dib growled, unsure of how to handle this situation. This...thing, just attacked his sister, and now it's threatening the two, bashing his weapons....COMPARING humans to IRKENS. He snagged the handgun quickly and started firing it away. He was happy that it was a semi-auto as four bullets plunged their way into the alien's skin.
The alien's eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Humans...they never know when to quit. Just~like~Irkens." He emphisised the last three words as he noticed the human's annoyance at the word Irken.
"WE'RE NOTHING LIKE IRKENS!!!" Dib screamed as he shot both laser gun and handgun at the beast as it charged once again. This time it didn't stop, and it slashed up Dib's shoulder with a swift swing of it's left claw, causing Dib to scream out in pain. This was worse than the wound he endured from Zim's claw. Much worse.
The alien then jumped off to the side, making some good distance away from the boy. It smirked up at him as it wiped a bit of blood off its face from the wound of a bullet. The alien's blood was black, and it was pouring out of most of the wounds it had, but not much blood came from the ones that bled, anyways. "Humans and Irkens could make such powerful allies...if only they could get past their pride to work together, but you can't can you?" It cackled evily. "That's because your all so weak~" It's voice rang out easilly.
Dib furrowed his eyebrows more in anger. He dropped the laser gun and let it connect with the hard ground. As it connected, he felt a single raindrop hit him. Then the rain started to pour down heavilly. This alien seemed absolutely unaffected by the water as it came down, so it obviously wasn't an Irken at this point, considering Zim's skin burns at even a molecule of water touching it. Dib lowered his head as a smirk washed over his face. He wasn't happy....he was so annoyed that all he wanted to do was laugh. He felt his body wrack with a huge urge to laugh, but refused to let the sounds out.
The alien smiled at the boy. It then rush foward to slash his chest this time, but as it came towards Dib, he quickly ducked down to his coat and pulled out his combat knife, then slashed the alien as it approched him, catching it off guard and causing it to speed over the boy and his sister and end up behind Dib. Dib grinned as he stood and spun around, pleased that he was so smart for a human being. He held up the knife. "Oh, so what was that about weapons?" He asked as his grin turned into a cocky smirk.
The alien glared at him. "If I was armed with some of MY weapons, you'd be dead already, kid." It said. "For now, I will retreat. When I return, you better watch your back child, because I will be the last thing you EVER see." It said darkly. Then, a huge rush of wind blew, and Dib dropped to his knees as he held onto his sister, and when he looked back up, the alien was gone.
"...." He didn't know what to say about the entire situation. He decided to think about it later. His head dropped to his sister, and he quickly stuffed the guns in their holsters. He then slipped his coat on, and slipped the knife in it's inner sheath. He then slowly, carefully, picked his sister up, and started to quickly move towards his house. He needed to get his father to bring her to a hospital; and fast.
~Meanwhile, Back At Zim's Home~
Zim watched the screen as the night drew closer. It was pouring ouside, but the dog suit that GIR was wearing was special and would provide the protection the robot needed to stop him from getting wet. Aside from that, Zim figured that GIR was so...so much on a lower level than himself, that it probably would not affect him anyways. At least not affect GIR like it affects himself.
Zim continued to watch, hoping to see SOMETHING useful. SOMETHING that he could get a good grasp on. Finally, the endless hours of wanting to see something had finally paid off. GIR's vision picked up on that something that he wanted.
GIR started to speak after being silent aside from making silly sounds from having fun. "WOAH!! It's getting windy!!" He exclaimed as the line of vision started to drift slightly to the right. Then, from the left of the screen to the right, a tall floating figure with blue skin, black eyes with white pupils, a somewhat similar shape to Irkens or humans aside from some differences in things such as foot shape, and with extremely large claws and fangs that were beared, went by. Zim leaned forward as he heard GIR curiously say, "What was that?"
Zim thought about what he just saw. He then opened up a window with all of the footage taken from GIR's vision and fast-fowarded it towards the part he just witnessed. He muted the window with GIR's current vision and minimized it as he enlarged the one with the playback. He re-watched the unknown alien float by. He then noticed something strange and re-wound it. He paused it as it was almost in the center of the screen and zoomed it in on its claw. He was lucky, since the right side of the alien faced him, it happened to have its other claw raise above its body so he could see it. As he zoomed into its claw, he finally realised what he was seeing; it was blood.
~Dib's Home, 10 Minutes Later~
Dib arrived at the door, then kicked on it. His father opened it and looked down to see any parent's worse nightmare; his bleeding son holding his unconsious daughter. "Dib?! What happened?!!" He asked, completely perplexed at everything, his whole mind turning to mush in the matter of a few seconds.
"Dad, call an ambulance! Gaz got attacked!!" He yelled. Even though Dib was concerned over his sister, he had the time to thank whoever is listening out there for helping him hide his weapons from his father's eyes right now. That would only make him worry a whole lot more had he been able to see the weapons, especially the black blood-covered combat knife.
"Alright, lay her down on the couch now!" Professor Membrane said as he bolted over to the phone. Dib quickly made his way to the couch and laid his sister down. He then walked back over to the door and leaned against the door frame, watching the street for the ambulance to arrive. He wanted to assure his sister would be safe. He didn't want anything to happen to one of the few people who even bothered with him at all.
As Dib stood there, the words his sister said hit him. '....The Heart....huh? Knowledge.....how is the heart...knowledge?' He questioned in his mind. He then heard the sirens off in the distance as his father returned to his side. Dib looked up at his father. He then turned his sights back to the street as the white and red vehical arrived. Professor Membrane went to his daughter's side, carefully picked her up, and started to head out the door, only stopping for a couple of seconds to turn to his son and say "Your coming too, son."
"I know, dad." Dib said. He then followed the professor outside, and towards the ambulance, hoping the best for his sister.
