Chapter 2: And So The Game Continues...Ugh This is Getting Boring...
The bell rang and the school day was finally done! Zim hated Hi-Skool, it was just as annoying as middle school when he first landed here. Today he had a lesson on spiders in science, that pretty much was the only interesting thing about that whole day. He skimmed through his sketchbook and looked at the sketched he made on a new type of weapon, he didn't have a name for it just yet but surely his intelligent mind could figure something out.
"What are those Zim? New plans for World Domination?" Dib yelled from the light post on the street corner.
"Well if you MUST know Dib-thing, they're just notes for so called Gym Class!"
"You Can't Take notes in gym!"
"SILENCE! Don't you question ZIM!" The Irken Exclaimed while pointing a finger at Dib and having one eye twitch and the other bulgy.
"JUST YOU WAIT ZIM I-"
"Let me guess you'll expose me to the rest of this filthy rotten pig planet and take me to this so called 'autopsy' were you'll study me and prove that there's life on other planets...am I right?"
Dib's posture relaxed a little.
"Hey How did you know I was going to say that?"
"I've heard that line a thousand times worm monkey, try thinking up a new one...it's getting old!"
"OH YEA!" Dib ran to push the Irken over and snatched Zim's notebook and saw the spider robot sketches that Zim drew.
"WHy are you using the spider again?"
"AGAIN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN? TELL ZIM!"
"You already used the whole spider scheme two months ago..."
"Y-Yea well...these are even better plans!" Zim exclaimed snatching his notebook back from Dib's filthy human grubby hands.
"I do have to admit they're improved but still...you gotta admit reusing a plan that didn't work in the first place is pretty lame. I expect that from the mole rat people living underneath the school but not from you Zim..."
Zim did have to admit, that was a pretty lame idea. Even though there were improvements on these blue prints it wasn't a lot. The fight pretty much died down...the excitement and adrenaline rush was pretty much gone now. Zim only pouted and waited at the corner to cross the street. He flinched when the worm baby stood next to him.
"What did I do?"
"I thought you were going to push me into that sea of killing fast machine monsters."
"You mean cars? Nah...I did that already that joke was only funny the first couple of times...are you going to push me?"
"Not even my worst enemy deserves to get hit by those things...ugh"
"wow that's how much you hate them..."
Zim only nodded and walked home, surprisingly Dib was walking with him. Not being sneaky or holding a camera or anything. He actually looked just as bored as Zim did at the moment. Zim couldn't help but stare.
"What?"
"Dib-thing, why aren't you hiding and trying to take 'pictures'?"
"Well one Gaz broke my camera because I took pictures of her room...and two, I actually go home this way too."
Dib and Zim were pretty much bored as hell...the game got old. THey needed something to make things interesting again. What it was they didn't know.
"Hey Zim...why are you still trying to take over the human race anyhow?"
"Well first off as an Irken invader I'm supposed to take over a planet just for my kind. It's tradition. But now I just want it for myself, I will not share with the my leaders. Also I believe the universe would be a better place without these filth monkeys. Just look at this world! There's the substance 'water' on other worlds too but because of the pollutants and minerals and other toxic nonsense that's been put in there it's acid to my skin and my insides! The Air here is terrible! I had to put in a special filter when I created my base! I can only eat a limited amount on food that this planet supplies only because of how much terrible things you put inside them! To be rid of this planet would be a paradise for us all! Why on Irk YOU would want to protect this planet IS beyond me!"
After having Zim explain why he hated the humans so much Dib couldn't help but keep silent throughout the walk home. 'I can't give up on the human race! I just can't! I'll expose Zim for who he really is and then everyone will call me a hero! Yeah Then everyone will notice me and treat me like a king! They'll see they'll all see the day where I'm right! Whose the weird one now?' He sat in his room alone. Gaz is only home on mondays, the rest of the week she stays with her boyfriend doing god knows what. At least he has a three day weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday course his father isn't home, he's never home. As for his mother...his father never told him what happened to her. Dib was pretty much used to this by now, he went down to his lab and started to re read his journal entries from when Zim first came to earth. He could see the hate he had, the rush the drive to protect the human race. Now, he could feel something else about this rivalry.
Zim's walk home was in fact quite interesting. He couldn't help but ponder on the conversation he had with the earth worm baby. He couldn't help but wonder himself why the other boy would protect the humans. The earth is a rotten smelly stink hole full of stinky stink. There was something though, something that helped the Dib worm. Something that gave him his fuel. Zim tried to find at least some positivity in this retched planet but failed. What exactly was the firewood that fed the fire? Zim just couldn't
figure it out...it absolutely baffled him.
'Why is that earth meat baby called Dib so determined to protect such a horrible planet such as this? This must be brought into some further investigation...then when I find out the reason why he loves this planet so much I could use it against him and finally defeat him! Yes I am brilliant! Now to put my wonderful and well thought out plan into motion!'
The alien then looked up at his green house and saw the lights on. Zim opened the door to find a screaming Gir running around with a toy pig. Boy did that Robot love his toy piggies.
"GIR!" Zim commanded as the door closed behind him and he took off his wig and contacts to reveal beautiful dark maroon eyes.
"YES SIR!" The Glitched Sir unit said with a stern voice and red eyes.
"What did I tell you about screaming in the house?"
Gir's eyes went from Red to blue as he became the silly robot Zim had become accustomed to.
"Th-that..."
"THAT?"
"The...neighbors will come in wondering what the noise is..."
"AND?"
"Discover our secret base?"
"That's right Gir so remember NO SCREAMING!" he sounded like a mother scolding her child.
"Do I get to keep my piggy if they do?"
"No..." Zim's Antennae went down and he had an annoyed face. The little robot started to scream loudly and right when Zim thought Gir's head would explode...
"IMA GO MAKE WAFFLES!" then Gir ran to the kitchen. Zim sighed and flushed himself down to the lab.
"COMPUTER! Have the stealth unit prepared for tomorrow, I have a new plan for DIB."
Zim then started to press the keys on his keypad for his main computer to document the day. He documents every day he has spent on this stupid pitiful planet. His calls to his tallest became less and less, soon Zim had realized that he was now taller than them so then he didn't call them anymore. Ziim now knew his power and he had a plan for his planet, but that one would take some time. Zim started to build some cameras of his own. They were each hand made (He liked working with his hands when it came to missions he felt as if it would get the job done right). He then placed the cameras in a bag for tomorrow. The plan would have to start bright and early.
"Computer put Gir on for me!" The screen then started to show a happy little robot mixing the waffle batter.
"GIR! Come down to the base immediately I have a new mission!"
"OH GOODEY!" The Robot shrieked in delight as he ran down immediately still holding the Waffle batter.
'well...he can surely make some good waffles...' Zim thought to himself as he smiled a bit thinking about dinner.
"What's the new plan Master?" Gir said excitedly as he ran into the lab with Waffle batter in his hands.
"Tomorrow we're going to find out the REAL meaning of Dib's purpose in life."
"What's that mean?"
"That me-"
"What's that mean?"
"THAT me-"
"What's that mean?"
"THAT MEANS We're going to figure out why Dib wants to protect this putrid pig planet so much, there has to be something more to the 'Earth' than meets the eye. We have to understand his goal, by understanding his goal we will finally be able to defeat him."
"Awwwwww man... that sucks..."
"What do you mean it sucks Gir, it is a Brilliant plan!"
"But if we finally defeat the big headed kid then we wouldn't have anyone to play with."
Zim just stayed quiet and told Gir to go back upstairs.
'The android had a point but tomorrow this plan will go into action! '
"WAFFLES ARE DONE!" The cute Sir unit screamed from up stairs.
'But for now it is time for the WAFFLES!'
