Chapter 11
Old machines with Dark Truths
Zim's eyes shot open when he felt a bigger raindrop on his head. It sizzled on his head like bacon until Zim wiped it off. Zim groaned and then a huge flash of light startled Zim and then he heard the thunder. Now he was in trouble the rain began slow but gradually picked up. Before long he was yelling as white vapors came from his skin like a hot spring. Then Zim ran into a huge building, opened its doors and quickly shut them. He panted for some time before turning around to see what took his breath away. "A Control Brain." He said in awe for it was not as big as the others, it was about as big as him a matter of fact. Zim wiped some dust off its face and Zim muttered "Power…" Zim then tugged on some cables and plugged them in. Then all the eyes on it came on and the control brain spoke "AAAAaaaa its you Zim." Zim gulped "I don't recall meeting you but-" the control brain interrupted "Maybe YOU don't recall but I remember very well." Zim cocked his head "Pardon me?" The control brain snickered "Oh yes I remember you very much. I remember being a judge in your accident." Zim perked his face up "You know about that?" the control brain replied "Yes Zim, I am the trail brain. I was supposed to finish you off in court but you escaped along with the evidence. Soon I found some shocking discovery if only I could remember it." Zim asked "how could you forget such a shocking secret?" The control brain snapped "RED! That's why. I remember the secret was about him and he jammed up the data and called me corrupt, malfunctioning. That was his excuse. The secret also related to you Zim but I don't know why." Zim his chin and asked "You tried cracking it?" The control brain hummed in thought and replied "Yes, it is a new Irken code that only the Tallest know about. It is quite frustrating." Then the control brain made a beep and asked "Why do you not have a PAK?" Zim looked away and the trial brain deduced "You learned where Irken life comes from haven't you?" Zim nodded and said "Yes I know my history with the humans." The Trial brain sighed and said "I see you know the huge secret. To be honest I thought it was unethical what the Control brain did to the humans. Forced them to evolve, it just wasn't right." Zim suddenly looked up and asked "You got a chip for the data?" The trial brain said nothing as a small chip popped out of an opening under it's head. "Thanks, I think I may get Purple to decode it." Then the Trial Brain replied "I may be able to assist you, can you plug in that cord coming from the wall?" Zim looked to see a pink cord protruding from the wall snaking it's way around a crate. Zim nodded and plugged it in. At first there was silence and then there was a loud whirring noise then small hisses. "I now have connected into Locker 26's main network, soon if I can get passed the firewalls I may be able to take over security." A robotic arm came down and held a small ring. "Put this around your antenna and we will be able to communicate." Zim nodded knowing his mission was to get Purple the data and decode it. "I'll help you get back your job Trial brain." Zim said as he went outside leaving the Trail brain in silence.
As the Massive touched the ground Irken patrol troops gathered as the hangar of the ship opened and out walked Red and Purple. They smiled and waved to the many cheering troops waving their rifles above their heads. "Hello our faithful guards of Locker 26, who were brave enough to stay here and keep watch for Zim and the Resisty." Purple said with a smile of gratitude. "We present you with our full gratitude that you served in our army for us." They all cheered and hugged each other and Red said "We hope we can capture Zim and Tak and put them in ice forever." They clapped and cheered. Then an Irken not in a military suit burst from the crowd and fired. Purple pulled a reflective purple pistol. He fired and shot him in the chest. Red dashed off the ramp and to the Resisty soldier. "You thought you could kill us huh?" Purple went to Red "Stop it Red." But Red didn't stop he took him and pressed him to a wall. He then snatched a knife from the soldiers sheath. "Look everyone I am about to make an example of our enemies!" He then pressed the knife to the Resisty soldier's neck. "Red!" Red ignored
Purples commands and beard harder on the knife. "RED!" Purple screeched and Red finally stopped and removed the knife from the soldiers breath, there was a light in Red and Purple's eyes that seemed to shimmer like fire to each other as if communicating. Then Purple turned around and walked away. The crowd of soldiers grew silent in anticipation watching them. Then Red pulled back his arm and swung the knife into the soldiers head. Purple turned and shouted "NO!" He ran to the soldier and rubbed a hand against his face. "You fool," Red spat ",you care for his corpse as if he were one of us. But he isn't! We are the elites, we hold the glory!" As Red continued his speech the crowd became more lively. Purple looked at him while he continued his speech. "we shall not fall, we shall not grow tired, we will be VICTOURIOUS!" the crowd exploded into cheers and uproar. Red raised his fist and the crowd followed in suit. Then Purple looked off the horizon where more dark looking clouds seemed to be forming for a huge storm. Purple squinted his till he saw, till he saw… "what is that?" he asked aloud and Red began squinting too.
Then Red figured it out "Mini-bomber!" he cried and he took a missile launcher. "What the hell are you doing?" Purple cried. "Shooting it down!" he yelled as he went inside a storage building. "Red no!" Purple yelled but was cut off when a few bombs dropped. Red climbed out onto the roof and aimed at it. He then fired and the missile hit the mini-bomber's side. Red Raised a fist in the air in victory. But it was short when the mini-bomber began to fly out of control into the storage building Red was on. "RED!" Purple yelled to the building as it was consumed in flame. He began to run to it but the Mini-bomber fell from the roof in front of Purple showing it's dead pilot disemboweled. Purple only stood knowing that Red had been killed.
