Chapter Four

Dib had seemed to forgotten he was in a small space with his archenemy on a rather serious mission and was staring out the window transfixed.

"Oh wow!" he exclaimed, wonder in his voice. "So this is what space is like! I've seen pictures and stuff, but this is so cool! The earth looks so beautiful!" "More like a wet spinning ball of mud and filth." Growled Zim, who was in a bad mood. Dib ignored him.

The Yorkan ship loomed ahead, a large blue hunk of metal with blinking lights and a large communication transmitter on the top. "Listen up, Dib stink. I'm going to jam the nearby security cameras. Once we get beside, I'm going to make a hole in the side and dock there. You will follow me, do what I say, say what I say, and just…just don't do anything stupid." Zim commanded. Dib snorted. "You're one to talk."

"SILENCE FOOL!" shrieked Zim. "I am ZIM! I'm most certainly NOT stupid. Now get over here and get ready to go inside." Zim punched a code into the computer and sent out the signal. "The camera's will be on a 20 second loop until my say so. These idiot Yorkans won't know what hit them." Sneered Zim.

Zim pulled up alongside the humongous ship and typed in the command for the drill at the ships nose. Once through, Zim jumped out, eyes darting back and forth. "Right," whispered Dib, climbing down beside him. "Which way would they be?" "Ah, they would be this way…" Zim hesitated. "Or they could be that way…"

Dib slapped his forehead. "You mean you don't even know they're general location?!" "SILENCE!" shrieked Zim. "I'm thinking."

Footsteps echoed down the hall where they were standing. "No time for thinking Zim, in here!" Dib whispered, pointing to an air vent on the ceiling. Zim scowled. "How cliché." He muttered.

Zim put a hologram of the wall in front of the drill and shoved Dib out of the way. "Me first, for I am your supreme evil overlord, scum." Dib rolled his eyes and helped Zim up and then climbed after him by climbing onto the purple Irken ship.

They crouched inside the vent and held their breath as a group of five Yorkans walked past, guns at the ready and murmuring to each other. The duo stayed where they were for an extra minute.

"Woo." Said Zim, sounding smug. "That was smooth." Dib rolled his eyes. "It was MY idea to get in here. Now what?" "First you can scoot over and let me in front Dib." Said Zim, squeezing past Dib and purposely knocking his glasses to the ground.

Dib scowled and picked them up and then looked puzzled. Zim had called him by his name and not by some insult. He shrugged and crawled after the small green alien. Zim kept on peeking through holes, muttering, "There's got to be a map somewhere."

Dib looked at Zim. "You know, I never knew you were so attached to that robot." "Hmm?" Zim looked back. "I'm not "attached" to that stupid little SIR unit. I'm only saving him because if I don't he'll spill out all my secrets and then I'LL be here and destroyed. And as much as I know you'd love that, without me you can't save your sister. So ha."

Dib scowled. They continued to crawl through the dusty vent. Dib's knees were starting to hurt. He suddenly bumped into Zim as the alien stopped abruptly. "Aha! I'm a genius!" Zim said gleefully. He pointed to a map on the side of the wall down below, with a ship of the ship. "Perfect. The prisoner rooms should be two more right turns and a left."

Dib nodded and the pair set off again. Two rights and a left later, Zim peered into the Prisoner Ward. "I can't see if they're in here. Move aside worm, I'll remove the vent." Zim carefully removed it and then jumped down, looked back and forth. No guards here. The room was empty. Dib hang on for a second before letting go, crashing down beside Zim.

"Up fool!" hissed Zim. "Do you want to bring the enemy running?" Dib rubbed his arm and resisted the urge to punch Zim. It felt strange, working as a team. They stole into the next room of cells. Empty like the first. And so was the next one.

Dib was starting to feel discouraged. He hoped Gaz was ok. Sure, they didn't get along, but she was family. The only one who was ever there. Dib was aware of the unexpected loneness without her criticizing his "obsession" with Zim.

"Hurry up Human." Hissed Zim. "I found them, they're in this room." Zim pointed to two cells. One held a small robot with teal eyes that was happily singing the "Doom" song. The other to the right held a girl with purple hair and a skull necklace. She looked unfazed.

"Gaz!" Dib gasped and was about to run over to her cell, but Zim held him back. "Fool! There's an alarm. I need to shut it off or we're ALL in trouble." Dib scowled. The security pad to disable the alarm was half way up the wall, too high for either of them to reach. Zim used his spider legs to scuttle up the wall.

INVALID PASSWORD. The words flashed again and again as Zim tried random combinations. Dib rolled his eyes. "You have no idea what you're doing. Push over." Dib started climbing up onto Zim to get at the pad. "Hey!" Zim protested, outraged, but Dib had already hacked into the mini computer and had typed in the correct password.

Zim's mouth opened and closed, like a breached fish. Dib smirked. "It was a simple hack. Amazing how similar their technology is to Earths." Zim recovered and retracted his spider legs, knocking Dib aside. He marched over to GIR's cell. He knocked on the blue glass like material that closed of the cell. "GIR! Stop singing that infernal song and get over here!"

"Doom doom doom doom dooooooom!" sang GIR as he walked over to Zim. Dib ran over to Gaz's cage and started banging on hers. "Gaz! I'm…WE'RE here to save you." Gaz raised one eyebrow. "What took you so long? Those blue things didn't even pick up my game." Dib smiled. Good old Gaz.

"Zim, how do we get them out?" Zim walked over to the controls and inspected them. "Bit primitive, this won't take long." "Doom doom doom doom doomy doom doom!" sang GIR, squishing the stuffed pig.

Zim pressed a few buttons and the blue glass faded away like it had never been there. Dib grabbed Gaz's arm. He was about to hug her, but he decided he'd rather live. GIR finished the Doom song and skipped over to Zim. "Do you have my waffles? I'm hungry."

"Not now GIR. First we get out of here." Zim said. He sounded irritable but in actuality, he was relieved. "Now, GIR, did you tell the Yorkans anything?" GIR held up a finger and thought. "I told them I was hungry and wanted my waffles. I don't think they like waffles." GIR sounded extremely sad.

Gaz scowled and folded her arms. "Are we busting out of this freak show or what?" "Yes." said Zim. "Follow Zim, inferior beings of filth!" As Zim led the way out of the room, GIR skipped over to the controls. "Ooooh, shiny button-cakes!" He started pressing them at random. Unfortunately he pressed the transmission button and a Yorkan appeared on the screen. "Wait, you're not Agent Dax!" it said. "YAY!" screamed GIR.

Alarms blared and Zim smacked his forehead. Of course, GIR had once again ruined everything. "MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT!" he yelled, breaking into a run.

Yes. Long chapter is long. But the next chapters a chase scene! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Of course GIR completely screwed them up. Thats what he's there for! And to be cute and funny and annoy Zim -hugs GIR-
