**Next chappy! Yay! We get a little bit of action finally!**
**Kree**
Zim remembered this situation before. He was waiting for Kree to come, so he could escape. Now, this time, it was Gaz he was waiting for, but would the same results come just as disastrous?
It didn't matter anyway. He had no choice. This was the only way out. The only way to fix everything. To get Gaz's brother back, his enemy, and Kree's future friend. To get Kree back. To get everything back to normal again. Everything and everyone depended on him.
So the wooden door creaked a little as Gaz opened it on midnight. The exact way the night began when Kree… died. Gaz stepped in. She was wearing all black; a black sweater, black pants, and shoes. Her orchid violet hair was tied up into a ponytail. She took a deep breath, opened Zim's door and let him out.
It was the first time Zim stepped out of his prison, without a fear in the world.
It was the first time Gaz felt that there was nothing wrong with her life.
She took Zim's hand and led him out the door. They took a private elevator to get down to the basement. Gaz pressed the basement key and the elevator started going down… and down… twenty-seven floors. Suddenly, a weird feeling in his stomach tightened. He grew more and more nervous with every floor they passed.
The elevator stopped, and the two stepped out. He looked at Gaz, wondering what she was thinking in her head, or what she might be plotting. What if she was actually going to kill him tonight? What if everything was just a fraud, some trick? Could her passion for him from the other night be just a shield from her real hatred?
He stopped after one step. Maybe he should just stop here. Give up. Don't take this risk, said one voice in his mind. Gaz sensed his hesitation, and took his hand and smiled at him. She kissed him gently. "It's okay, Zim." Gaz whispered.
Zim relaxed and started walking again. All his present fears disappeared. Somehow, Gaz had the power to do that. Every time, Zim had felt the most uncomfortable and in pain, just her being there, just seeing her … every bit of fear was just gone.
But he couldn't just think about his own happiness and comfort. There was work to be done. And he was the only one who could finish the job.
They neared Kree's computer systems. They were all off, and looked as if they were dead. Not one beeped, blinked, or made such as any clue to life. Gaz pressed a button to turn the power on, but she didn't know what to do next. A password window came onto the screen and Gaz froze. Sure, she had been down here a lot, but she didn't know Kree's password.
Zim tried to remember the exact hand movements Kree had made. He remembered looking at her worn hands, but how they were soft and warm to the touch. He remembered gazing at her movements on the computer and how they almost looked like a concert pianist playing and-
Then it hit him. He knew the hand movements, so he could figure out the password. Zim took a deep breath, and began to type: The form was in the piano piece, the Fur Elise by Beethoven. It was and eight button password, and Zim got it all right. The system started working and a tremendous amount of beeping and blinking begun.
"Okay …." Gaz started. "How do get the Time Machine working now?"
Zim glanced to his right where the Time Machine stood. It was still there from a few nights ago. He could just imagine Kree standing there, furrowed in her work, trying to get this moving. He remembered and smiled, and he smiled too, his vision becoming blurry.
But this was no time to get emotional. He had already become weaker as it was, and he couldn't waste time on his petty emotions. He could save Kree, if this worked.
Zim knew that /he/ was the one who had to get the Time Machine working. Kree had instructed all the directions to him, but could he remember them all? What if something went wrong? What if he killed himself and Gaz?
"Push that first. Then, whomever's point in their past, which in our case, is Dib, we type in "D-I- B M-E-M-B-R-A-N-E." He remembered Kree's voice saying that first. And she pointed to a button … which button?
It had to be the subject button, so he pressed that. It was a large rectangular yellow button on the upper left corner. He typed in, "Dib Membrane". Gaz watched with anticipation, her heart beating faster and faster as each second ticked by.
"Okay, then you push the "Time Button"." Her voice said next in his head. So Zim pushed the Time button, which was on the upper right corner. It was a square red button that was moderately large. Then, he started searching for the point in time he wanted. Since, he remembered it from last time, he found it rather quickly and got ready to set it.
He knew next, that he had to put on the helmet. He found the helmet, laying on the floor, when he threw it to the ground as Kree … was shot.
But what was next? His mind completely blanked out. After that moment, she spoke quickly because she was fighting against the guards. She had called out something, but what? And was that even the complete directions?
He replayed the scene that had happened a few nights ago. He had the helmet on, she was about to give directions, but then Gaz and the guards came. Kree yelled …. Kree yelled …
"I want you to hurry up and find the "ACTIVATE" button. It will take you to the past. When you are there, you can't come back. You must do, what you came there to do, understand?"
He remembered the nightmare now.
He carefully placed his finger on the "ACTIVATE" button, which was a small green circular one in the middle. He pushed it.
All of a sudden, a "doorway" right beside the Time Machine, the gray mist that was in before turned into a circular silver movement, like a whirlpool. "I guess I have to go through there." Zim shrugged.
"Yeah, it does seem logical." Gaz replied.
You don't need logic to figure that out. You don't need logic to escape either. Just like it had happened when Kree was there, the guards burst in, with the first in command, head honcho, leader of the world. A flashback over took Zim's mind as the guards shot Kree and she fell to the ground. He was about to take off his helmet and surrender.
Gaz grabbed him and pulled him close so they were face to face. "Zim, just go. Okay? I remember what you did when Kree was fighting. Please, Zim. If you can fix everything in the past, everything in the future would have never of happened. Just go, Zim."
"I can't leave you, Gaz." Zim stuttered. "Not after I left Kree."
"Go for me, Zim. I'll see you later." Gaz kissed him and took out her gun.
Zim sighed. He took one glance at Gaz's face, trying to remember it well. He wanted to leave quickly, so he wouldn't see Gaz falling to the ground. He took one step into the Time Machine's doorway … and another … and another ….
Zim found himself in a park. He glanced around, seeing adults on benches with trees in every glance he took. He was standing on emerald green grass and there were white flowers the decorated the carpet of green. Then, he saw the children …. Then … he saw Dib …
**Right now, Zim has no ABSOLUTE clue what he is going to do … maybe the time I spend writing this next chapter, he'll devise a plan***
**Plz review!**
