Dib squinted at the three fingures as they came into the door. A gasp nearly escaped Dib as they came in. Never had he imagined that the hybrids would be more horrific moving and conscious than they were in the tubes. As they came into the room they did not come in as people but as animals. They did not speak but seemed to snap and growl at each other. There eyes held no emotion other than bloodlust.

As Dib watched them nothing could better explain them than a pack of raptors. A pack of angry, bloodthirsty, semi-intelligent hybrids. Dib watched as the horned hybrid made a sharp lunge at the irken hybrid. The irken pinned her anntene and gave an unearthly hiss. The strange white one seemed to be looking at Zim with an intense hunger. The men and Professor Membrane watched all of this with a sick sense of pride written on their faces.

SNAP!

The largest man had snapped his fingers and at the sound all three of the hybrids stopped their squabbling and turned to him motionless. The large man had again turned to Dib. He had a aire of arrogance as though he should be praised for being able to control the unearthly beasts. "Look before you boy. This is a new time, a new beginning. These creatures are the future." The hybrids watched the mans every move waiting for a command. "They are stronger, faster, more brutal!"

"And retarded dont forget that one." Dibs smart remark earned him a very swift kick in the stomache.

The man leaned down and looked at Dib. "There is a reason we stunted the intelligence of the hybrids. These hybrids are animals. They are slaves, with no free will of their own. They are mine. MINE! If I choose to have them killed or have them kill is my choice. THE HYBRIDS BELONG TO ME!" The man leaned up and turned to the three hybrids. His voice again had gone quiet. "Let me give you a demonstration."

Professor Membrane had lifted Dibs chair upright in order for him to get a better view. The man stepped forward and looked at the hybrids. He then looked at one of the other smaller men in the room. Dib noticed an immediate panic taking over the small man. The largest man slowly looked at the hybrids again. For a short time there was silence and then all hell seemed to break loose. The small man suddenly burst into a run for the door but was quickly stopped. Dib closed his eyes afraid of what was to come. All Dib heard was a metallic sound like a weapon being unsheathed and a loud sharp scream that was quickly cut off. Dib slowly opened his eyes. The man was in the air four feet off the ground. Four metal spikes had gone through his body and were holding him in the air. Blood pooled under the man who was now clearly dead. Dib follwed the long spikes back to thier owner and saw that these weapons were coming out of the irken hybrids PAK. Dib could see all of the hybrids looking at the dead man in the air. Dib could feel the first real wave of fear wash over him.

"Drop him." At that command the man was dropped onto the floor with a wet thud. The long metal spikes slowly retreated into the PAK of the irken hybrid, blood stains and all.

Again the man turned to Dib. "Do you see now?"

All Dib could now "see" was the fact that these people were out of touch with reality and had created monsters. "No."

The large man stepped over the corpse lying in the floor as well as Zim and stood in front od Dib. "Let me spell it out for you. These creatures are mine. The most powerful beings on the planet and I control them. With them I will wipe out most of the human race and rule what is left. During all of this the perfect hybrids will begin to dominate the earth starting a new dawn for mankind."

"This is crazy! You cant do this! your mad!" Dibs fear was beginning to take control now. This was unlike anything Zim had ever thrown at him. This was serious.

The man could see Dibs fear and seemed to soak it in, loving it. "But I can boy. I can. Together with Professor Membrane I will rule and create something better for us all. "

Dib whipped his head around to try to find his father. Professor Membrane was no where to be found. "Where-"

"The professor strolled out as you were cowering in fear of my wonderful creations." The large man and some of the other men in the room began a type of manic laughter that made Dib angry and afraid at the same time. "And the best part is...your going to die!" The laughter continued.

Dib became very still in his chair. For the fist time in a while scared and unsure of what to do. Here was earths savior, being put to death by his own race. He looked down at Zim and for the first time felt a sense of pity for the irken. It was true he hated Zim and they were enemies, but not even Zim deserved any of this.

The large man had finally stopped laughing and looked at Dib, then at Zim. "You know what? I want everyone here to see your death. So I am going to wait to kill you. While Im at it we will take care of the irken too, he has served his purpose and is no longer useful to us." The men turned to the others. "Take them back to the cell and we can have fun later."

Dibs chair was picked up by two men from behind and he was taken through the white hallway. Dib was slammed into to wall hard, breaking his chair but nearly giving him a cuncussion. Dib wiggled out of his ropes and tried to stand, but as soon as he was up he was again knocked over by the weight of Zim slamming into him.

Dib rushed at the laughing men but was only met by a slammed door. Dib paced and fumed in his cell, the quiet ticking sound his only compainion. After he had quieted some he could have sworn the ticking was louder last time.
