It all started when me, my brother, and some of my friends from my college campus were flown to this wooded area one dark summers night.
"Why are we even here? Melissa asked.
"Because it's cool. Do we need a reason?" I said smiling around. The area looked like an abandoned city that became overgrown with plants after some apocalyptic type event took place to scare out and/or kill any humans, aliens, or penguins that used to live there.
"I say you need a reason. You drag me out here in the middle of the night just to have me fly you to this plant-stink place?" Zim stood looking around skeptically at the state of the area. He was really tall for some reason, just taller than me and I'm 5 feet and 5 inches, making him around 5'9". He was wearing black jeans with a chain hanging from the pocket; his black jacket which looked exactly like one I bought from the guys section at Target, hung loosely over a deep pink shirt with a bright red Irken symbol on it. He bent down and picked up some dirt between his fingers, rubbed it a bit then sprinkled it back onto the ground. "No humans have lived here in several of your planet's decades. For what purpose are we here?"
I just shrugged and started walking off towards a really tall building, around 10 stories tall.
"Kam! Hang on a second!" my friend Natalie came chasing after me. "We don't know how safe this place is. We should wait for the guys to catch up."
I just raised my eyebrow. "We have my brother here, and he has a sound effects app on his iPod. Why should we wait?"
She didn't have a response to that, probably because she didn't know why a sound effects app was meaningful. But I knew better. How could you go out to a creepy abandoned building without having the cliché horror film sounds? That would just be stupid.
I started walking up the pathway to the tall building and went inside. Zim and my brother were the only ones that followed me. The girls stayed behind.
"What are we looking for anyway?" Zim asked.
I looked around the entrance hallway that looked like a hotel and ignored his question. It was a secret, so secretive that even I didn't know!
My brother William and Zim exchanged a confused look and shrugged at each other. Then Will ran up ahead and went all super-ninja on the walls. He crawled across the ceiling really fast and went around the corner. He came back towards us with a huge smile on his face a few seconds later.
"GIANT DOUGNUTS!" he yelled.
Zim and I both exchanged super-happy-excited smiles then ran off after my brother. We rounded the corner but there were no doughnuts; it was just another hallway.
"Earth-fool! Speak the location of these doughnuts or be destroyed!" Zim pulled a laser out of his PAK and pointed it at my brother. I jumped up, grabbed the laser and bit the front of it. It was made of metal so my bite didn't do anything other than confuse the heck out of Zim and my brother. They stared at me as I let go and landed back on the ground.
"No fighting." I told them. Zim retracted his laser.
We walked to this opening that looked like the center of the Macy's in downtown Chicago that's 7 floors high and you can see all the way up because of a hole in the floor. I ran over to what was once an escalator but since it was broken it was just stairs, and started going up. Zim and Will followed.
We got to the top floor and looked around. Over in the corner stood some weird man in black, he was wearing a mask and superhero spandex but he didn't look like a good guy, he looked like Kyd Wyydx from Teen Titans. He was holding the giant doughnut over the edge of the building.
"Hey." I spoke out; "Let's not do anything hasty…" that doughnut could feed our bellies for days before it went stale. It would be a shame to waste it. The super-hero-villain looked at me then looked at the doughnut. He turned and moved the doughnut so it was back over the roof of the building and set it down. The bottom of the doughnut was on the ground but the rest of it was just fine to eat so I was happy.
Oh and also the heroillain guy ran and punched Zim in the face. Zim fell to the ground. The guy then turned and kicked me in the stomach. My brother ran and bodyslammed him. I coughed and watched the two of them grappling over the doughnut.
"GO, WILL! GO! FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOUGHNUT!" I cheered my brother on like a high school cheerleader in a skirt that's too short for her long legs.
At first it looked like my brother had the upper hand/claw but then the heroillain swept his foot and knocked my brother's legs out from under him. I yelled out and everything felt like it went into slow motion as I watched my brother slip and fall into the hole in the roof. The same hole that led all the way to the ground floor.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I RAN TO THE OPENING YELLING! "WILLIAM!" I heard a sound effect from a sad trombone, but that trombone was silenced before it ever finished it's wale. No more trombone… no more William.
I nearly dove down the hole after him but Zim grabbed my hand. The tears were so bad out of my eyes that I could barely see, but Zim lead me safely down the escala-stairs and we ran to where my brother was. He was lying on his back looking up. His eyes were closed but there was no blood. I ran to him and lifted his head in my hands. His neck was broken. I knew you shouldn't pick up a person with a broken neck but he was still breathing so I yelled for Zim to get the Voot Cruiser.
"We'll go to Japan!" I yelled when Zim protested that Will couldn't be saved. "Their technology is better! They can turn him into a cyborg and save him!" So we packed up my brother grabbed my other friends and we all climbed into the Voot cruiser and headed for Japan.
