This chapter takes place same time as last chapter by the way.
The damn things wouldn't die. I swung the bat again and watching the head go flying off the little robot in sparks. To my dismay another rushed over with the head and placed it back on. "stop. We are at peace."
"damn right you are- hey!" one of them took my bat and stood out of reach. Screw it. I turned on my heels and ran back home. Dib was in trouble, major trouble, whatever happened to him... something heavy dropped onto my shoulders and pulled me back. A woman angrily honked at me and I flipped her off. The heavy object fell off.
"stop. We are at peace" I started running again until my lungs felt like they were gonna burst. I could see home. Oh god it never looked so good. I couldn't hear those things anymore but that didn't mean shit. I threw open the door, thanking the stars I forgot to lock it and slammed it shut. I picked up my other baseball bat and watched the door in heavy breath. Where is he? By now he'd be stopping whatever was happening outside. What was even outside?
"You all might be wondering what is happening out here around you. I can assure you, though confused, you are safe." I turned around expecting to see my brother standing there. However what I saw was worse. He was on the TV I forgot to turn off. I walked over to the couch and dropped the bat forgetting even about the door.
"Dib?" My stupid brother was standing on city hall's balcony. Crowds and crowds of people were gathered around either fidgeting talking confused, babbling about the world ending, or just silently staring. My brother stood with a plastered smile. The one he uses when he knows he won at something but has so many things going on in his head he can't stop to appreciate it. He was wearing a ridiculous suit under a trench coat with some weird blue insignia on it. Next to him was Zim. He was wearing a similar jacket that was blue with a black insignia. He wasn't wearing a disguise. What the hell was going on.
"Safety is our main concern here. We have taken note of human behavior for some time now and have seen an unsightly pattern. Destruction, war, famine, all of it turning human against human. You must be sick of it. And that is why we are here. Zim?" Dib stepped back and the alien smiled.
"Yes humans we are tired of fighting just like you all must be. And those of you who aren't tired soon would have been. This epidemic of fatigue has now however come to a close... with your compliance all of the trouble of this destruction will disappear."
By now I was sitting on the couch. My legs unable to hold myself up. It didn't even matter to me when the door opened. My eyes were glued to the screen. I was seeing it all but not believing any of it. He wouldn't help Zim. no. no way ever in life would Dib ever help Zim. He was crazy but he wasn't that crazy. Wasn't he?
