Chapter 4-"Kai gets Kidnapped"
After school.
The last bell rang. Kids escaped from windows and out the school gates as quick as they came. Kai followed Dib causally down the hall.
"I bet Zim thinks he knows my plan." Dib began to babble to himself. "He thinks I have no plan up my sleeve. But this time, I got a little surprise that he wont see coming. Because I got a secret weapon this time…"Dib went on.
Kai sighed in annoyance, trying to ignore him.
Then, a young girl stepped quietly from around a corner. It was Gaz.
"Dib. There you are!" Gaz sighed in annoyance. "You were supposed to meet me outside my class room. You weren't thinking about leaving without me, were you?"
"There's no time now Gaz." Dib interrupted her. "I'm in the middle of a plan."
Gaz's hands balled into fists. "Stupid Brother…there are no words to describe the hate I feel for you right now."
"Gaz, you met Kai." Dib interrupted once more, grabbing Kai by the arm and yanking her closer to him so that Gaz could see. "You know…" He glanced around, then lowered his voice. "The Alien from last night? Remember?"
Kai shoved Dib sideways into a locker.
"For the last time! Don't touch me!" Kai spat angrily, brushing off her sleeve.
Gaz laughed slightly, seeing her brother diving face first into a metal locker.
Dib got up and, straightened his glasses, but continued.
"She's in disguise. Can you tell?" Dib asked, griping one of Kai's cheeks and pulling it.
"Quit it!" Kai slapped him upside the head.
"Ouch."
Gaz laughed again.
Dib rubbed his ear. "She's pretending to be our long lost distant cousin, but in reality, she's my prisoner, and has to whatever I tell her to do. And she's staying with us for a while, so if dad asks just tell him what I just told you, and I'm sure he'll buy it for now."
Dib reminded, then he added. "But we can't trust her. As you can see, she's very violent. It'd probably be best if you stayed away…"
"My brother is such a moron." Gaz groaned. Dib looked up. Kai and Gaz were a little ways ahead, talking to one another.
"Yeah. Tell me about it." Kai agreed. "I can't see how you deal with it."
"A few blows to the head keeps him quiet." Gaz pointed out.
"Thanks for the tip."
"Hey!" Dib interrupted. "Who's said you could talk to my sister?"
Gaz sent him a mean glare. Smack! Then in a flash, Dib was on the floor.
"You've bothered us enough, Dib." Gaz told him. "Now leave us alone."
"B-but Gaz?" Dib stuttered.
"I said shut up!" She kicked him in the side.
"Oh, I see." Kai agreed, grinning, kicking him a little harder than Gaz.
"Oooaf!"
Dib got up, holding his sides. "Gaz…if she says anything weird…or asks you for a brain sample, so no!"
They weren't listening.
Then suddenly Dib got sight of Zim walking casually across the school campus.
Dib remembered. "Zim!" Then his sly grin returned, and his thoughts returned back to his babbling. "Soon…it'll be the end of your schemes. Because tonight is the night I've been waiting for my whole life. Yeah. You'll never even think that I could use your own kind against you. Soon, I'll know all Zim's secrets….and then he can't stop me…"
"Alright." Dib began, catching up with Kai. "Here's the plan. The second it gets dark, that's when we'll make our move…" Clink. Came a sound as a round cylinder collar slung snuggly around his neck. "What?" He looked up to see Miss Bitters glaring down at him with a sour frown.
"Planning on going somewhere?" Miss Bitters hissed. "Without serving your detention, did you?"
"What's this?" Dib asked grabbing at the metal collar around his neck. There was a chain attached to it, and Miss Bitters held the other end.
"A Detention Collar. So you won't run away." Miss Bitters informed. "Too many kids ditching detention.
"What? That's ridiculous! Dib struggled to pull it off. "I can't do detention tonight! There's no time! The fate of the world depends on it."
"Yeah, that's what they all say…" Miss bitters began to pull on the chain, leading him away.
"Wait? Kai has detention too!"
Dib turned to Kai, placing a hand on her shoulder, but instead, finding a straw dummy with long black hair and a crude hand-drawn face in permanent marker.
"What the…? A dummy?" She, nor his sister were anywhere to be found. "No, Dammit! She's escaped!"
Miss Bitters growled. "She'll get what's coming to her in the end. They all do in the end. Now come on. You have eight hours to serve."
She began to drag Dib away, back into the school halls.
"Noooooooo!" Dib screamed. "I can't go to detention. I have an Alien to watch! I can't let her go undetected!"
"Move along." Miss Bitters groaned, ignoring him.
"Kai! Dammit!" Dib shouted. "I know you can here me! Don't you dare try our plan with out me! You here?" Then he was gone.
After a moment or two, Kai and Gaz hopped out from a near by bush, under the front school steps.
"Stupid Brother." Gaz frowned.
"Sorry, but I don't have time to sit around doing detention." Kai told herself. "I got some work to do. Come on Gaz. I'll walk you home."
Gaz pulled out a video game and played as she walked.
Kai had time to herself to think things over.
"First, I'll head back to Dib's room, grab Myu, then head out to search for Zim's secret base…
Wait…Dib said he was the only one who knew where it was…
I don't need Dib's help.
After all, I used Myu to find Dib's house.
It should be no problem finding Zim's base…
Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes nearby.
"Pssst!"
Kai glance around. "Hm?"
"Psssssst?"
It was coming from the bushes. Kai stopped in curiosity to staring into a dark gap between the branches. Gaz went ahead.
Suddenly, a dark figure leapt out at her, screeching wildly. Knocking Kai backwards into the road.
"Ah!" Kai groaned in half annoyance and surprise. It was a strange little green dog, screeching and screaming gibberish, while hopping all over her. "Get the hell off me!" Just then, another green figure stepped out from the bushes. It was Zim.
"Good job Gir!" Zim shouted. "Now hurry. Take her back to the base. She's our prisoner now."
Gir continued to hop all over her.
Kai grinded her teeth in annoyance.
"Seriously?" she thought in sarcastic disbelief. She simply flung Gir aside.
He went rolling into a tipped garbage can on the sidewalk, laughing hysterically.
"No! Gir! Don't Let the human-girl escape!" Zim ordered. "Get her!"
Gir came out of the garbage can with a banana pealing over is head.
"Yes master." He flung his whole self at Kai. Then stop in front of her, and began to dance. "Du du du de du de dudu!" Gir began to sing.
Kai smirked.
"Giiiiiirrr!" Zim yelled. "No! Not now! Stop! She's going to get away."
This is embarrassing. Kai frowned.
"So you're Zim, huh?" Kai asked casually, not even attempting to run away. What for? She ignored the dancing dog.
Zim gasped. "How do you know me? You know nothing of me. Nothiiing!" He shouted hysterically. "You're coming with me smelly girl-human!"
"Or else what?"
"Or else…huh…uh…" Zim stopped to think for a moment. "Or else this planet and all it's putrid human inhabitance will be destroyed and BURNED! Burned by meeee!" Then he burst out into evil laughter. "Muhahahahaha! You will come with Zim! Gir attack!"
"Gir began to hug Kai's leg tightly, and sob. "Please come with us pretty lady! Your our prisoner. We can make waffles and have tea-parties, and it'd be so fun. Pleeeeease come!" Gir begged and screeched, followed by loud whinny sobs.
"Ok, sure." Kai told them.
"What?" Zim asked surprised.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" Gir cheered loudly.
"That's it. No fight. No arguing?" Zim asked curiously in disbelief. "Hm. That was easy. Come. Follow me, girl-human. You are now my prisoner. You must Obey!"
"He's even stupider than I thought." Kai thought. "I'll just let him lead the way, and the second I'm there. That ship is mine. Then I'll be out of here in no time."
~Back at School~
Dib was on his knees over a toilet bowl. The entire stall walls were smeared with a dark brown and colorful matter. He didn't want to think about it too much. But what ever it was, it was everywhere, and it smelled terrible.
He wore a shower cap, latex-gloves and a face mask over his mouth. The foul odor filled his nose and made his eyes water.
"I can't believe this!" He groaned angrily, scrubbing out the toilet with a sponge. "I wonder what she's up to right now! She better not spoil the plan!"
The collar zapped him slightly.
"Ouch! That hurt." Dib rubbed his neck.
Flashback
"And remember, if you stop working. You get shocked. So hurry up and get to work." He remembered Miss Bitters scratchy voice before she left.
End of Flashback
Attached to the end of the long chain, was a heavy lead ball, which only allowed him a few feet to move.
Dib stood up, tossing the sponge back into the filthy toilet angrily. "This stinks!"
The collar shocked him again.
"Ouch! I hate this collar!" He reached up, trying desperately to tear it from his neck, but it only shocked him harder. "Ouch, Dammit!"
He turned to move to the next stall, but slipped in something green and slimy. He laid there for a moment, staring miserably up at the ceiling. The collar shocked him once more.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, he heard something whisper in his ear. He turned around on his side to see who it was.
A giant slimy green growth seemed to peer up at him from a grimy corner. Dib stared down at it curiously. Suddenly it twitched. Then a scratchy tinny voice came whispering up from the slimy growth.
"I'm alive?" It asked. "I can't believe it. It's finally happened. I'm alive." It cried happily. Then suddenly it began to slide towards him. "Oh thank you for not cleaning me, if you had, I would have…"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! Holly shit! It's alive!" Dib screamed, grabbing up a bottle of bleach and spraying it at least a hundred times over until it stopped moving. He panted for a moment. "Wow….That was a close one."
Suddenly, a last remaining growth leapt forward towards Dib's shoulder.
"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!" Dib screamed, struggling backwards. Then there was a slight sizzling sound, then a click. Dib stopped screaming and glanced down.
The collar had fallen off.
He noticed a bit of the green sludge had crept its way onto the metal and actually melted its way through.
"Huh…that was weird…wait." He rubbed his neck. "I'm free…" He muttered, then a big grin spread across his face. "Yah! I'm free!" He cried happily.
He glance up, noticing the window on the opposite wall. It was already sunset.
"I got to find Kai. She better not have started without me, Dammit."
Zim lead them to a small crummy neighborhood. With tall buildings and lots of eerie back roads. The streets and sidewalks were deserted. The air was clammy and smelled of rust and garbage.
Kai followed Zim, while Gir trailed behind, humming mindlessly, and mumbled something about Tacos.
Nobody said anything until they came up the next block, where Zim finally stopped at a very strange looking green house. It was fenced in, with odd looking gnome figures poking out of the grass.
"Gir, take our prisoner inside." Zim ordered. "I have a few questions to ask her."
"Yes Master." Gir obeyed, taking Kai by the hand, pulling her down with him, and half dragged, half pulled her up the walk way and up the front steps.
They opened the door and went inside.
"Piece of cake." Kai muttered. Then suddenly, there was a swishing noise, followed by a loud Thonk, then sheer pain to the back of her head.
"O-ouch…" Kai stuttered, then she was on the floor and everything went black.
Kai woke up in a daze. She appeared to be strapped down onto a metal table. She sighed, rolling her head back.
"Great." She muttered. "Not again." Suddenly a beaming light shown overhead. "What the hell?" She squinted through the light. She could see a shadowy figure come into view.
"Wake up human." Zim's voice echoed. Then she could see his face. He was no longer wearing his lame disguise. His crimson eyes beamed down at her.
"Wear am I…?"
"Silence!" Zim interrupted. "You will speak when spoken too. Now tell me, human. So your another one of Dib's friends?"
"No, I'm not…"
"Silence!"
"We're…"
"Silence!" He interrupted again. "You're on Dib's side. He thinks you can help him defeat me?" He laughed hysterically. "Never! It'll be Zim who will destroy this planet! And you and the other puny worm-babies have nothing that can stop my rein of destruction!" He cracked out another evil laughter.
Kai rolled her eyes.
Then Zim stopped laughing and stared into her eyes.
"Who are you?" He asked suddenly, suspiciously. "What do you know? Dib said you knew…what do you know?"
Kai stared at him curiously, but grinned.
"I know you're an idiot."
"Lies!" Zim yelled. "You know nothing!"
"I know that your…Irken." Kai began.
Zim stopped and listened.
"I know that you're an invader…" She paused, then grinned. "Well…you're not really an invader. The Tallest just sent you here so they could get rid of you. And now, I think I can see why…"
"More Liiiiiiies! Zim screeched louder. "I am Invader Zim! The Tallest chose the special mission for me!"
"Yeah, they also gave you a defective robot that they pulled out of the garbage." Kai added. "I know, because I was there."
Zim was too busy shouting "Lies!" before he heard her last few words, which caused him to stop and stare at her curiously.
"What was that you said?" Zim suddenly asked.
Kai thought for a moment. Should she blow her cover? What if she told him about the Tallest's secret? She decided to take a chance.
"I'm not human, you moron." Kai told him. "I'm Irken. Just like you."
"Hmm?" Zim stopped for a moment. "No! Your lying! This is another trick. You will not fool me!"
"What?" Kai paused. "No. I really am Irken."
"Liar!"
"Yes I am!"
"No you're not."
"Yes I really am, Dammit." Kai sighed with annoyance. "Watch, unstrap me and I'll show you."
Zim pondered this for a moment. "You take Zim for a fool?"
"Yes." Kai said truthfully. "Now untie me! I'm Irken. I can prove it. I was there at the great assigning. Everyone was there. The Tallest were there."
Zim thought it over for a moment. "No. You're lying."
Kai cursed. "You're Soooo stupid! Let me go! I'm Irken you dam idiot!"

Dib burst through his front door, panting hard. Gaz was sitting on the couch in front of the TV with her eyes glued to a video game screen.
"Gaz!" Dib ran up to her. "Where's Kai?"
Gaz grunted. "She went to Zim's house or something…"
"Zim's house…?" Dib gasped. He grabbed onto Gaz's shoulders. "Gaz? Try to remember. When did Kai leave?"
"A few hours ago…" She grumbled, kicking him to the floor and turning away. Now go away, your ruining my concentration."
Dib was up in a flash. "Dammit! She actually left without me!
