Planet Human Sacrifice
Chapter 13- Gir; the Dog Tamer
Dib ran up to Zim's door and scratched at it. He was really starting to hate that he couldn't open doors on his own. Rin opened the door and went down to Zim's base. Zim was still in the unconscious condition in the containment unit from yesterday.
Vivian: Wow he's still in there? You really put a beating on him Dib!
Rin: But that means Zim's innocent. Is there any other evil-doer on Earth that isn't human?
Dib nodded his head no.
Rin: But that's impossible. No human could have done it., unless it was done on accident somehow. Come on, we need to find out who did this.
Rin, Dib, Vivian, and Var went searching the town for traces of the person who was behind all this.
*4 hours later*
Vivian: *pants* Rin, can we stop now? All this barking is driving me insane.
Rin: I guess so. Besides, I think Dib is getting dehydrated.
Dib sat on the ground with his tongue out. He was whimpering from exhaustion. Rin picked him up.
Rin: Not only that, but Gaz took her anger out on Dib because she couldn't play her video games with no thumbs. Poor Dib, we need to give him a break. Where's Var?
Vivian: I don't know, she'll show up eventually. Let's just get back to your house before my feet fall off. It's getting dark.
Rin: Fine. I could try to do some research in my base tomorrow.
Rin carried Dib back to her house with Vivian. She placed Dib on the floor and went to get him some water.
Vivian: I thought you couldn't touch water.
Rin: Not anymore. I took a paste bath this morning. Water no longer affects me.
Rin placed the water dish in front of Dib and he licked the bowl clean
Rin: Good boy Dib!
Dib growled at her.
Rin: Oh calm down you little mutt. This is fun!
Dib angrily laid down on the couch. Var came through the door.
Rin: Var there you are. Where were you?
Var: They had a sale at the pet store, so I decided to get a little something for our little puppy!
Var reviled a green bone-shaped chew toy from behind her back. Dib perked up and ran towards Var. He stood in front of her with his tail wagging, begging for the toy.
Var: You want it boy? Go get it!
Var threw the toy across the room and Dib happily ran after it. He grabbed with it with his teeth and paws and started flipping himself all over the place trying to play with it.
Rin: Ok, now that is just way too cute! But I think this dog thing is starting to go to his head.
Vivian: So what? You know you love him like this.
Rin: But do you know how awkward it's gonna be when I get him back to normal?
Vivian: Well awkward for you. You took affection lessons from a dog!
Vivian laughed hysterically and Rin facepalmed herself.
Rin: Anyways, I'm going to do more research tomorrow. I'm going to go to sleep if I can. These dogs are gonna keep me up all night. You spending the night?
Vivian: Nah, I gotta get back to Irk. Where's Dib gonna sleep?
Rin: He can sleep wherever he wants. C'mon Dib, it's time to go to sleep.
Dib whimpered because he had to stop playing with his bone. He hopped on the far end of the couch and curled himself up into a ball to go to sleep.
Vivian: You're loving this too much and I know it Rin.
Rin: Vivian, go home.
Vivian: Wanna spend some alone time I see. Well uh, have fun I guess with all this and see ya later.
Vivian used one of Rin's escape pods to get back to Irk. Rin looked at Dib sleeping and petted him.
Rin: Y'know you are pretty cute like this.
Dib snarled at her.
Rin: Don't try that tough act on me Cujo. You know I'll get you back to normal.
Dib whimpered. Rin giggled.
Rin: Good night Dib.
Rin was still asleep early the next morning. She eventually woke up to a loud barking in her 'ear'.
Rin: Dib!? What are you doing!? You're gonna permanently damage my antenna through my disguise!
Dib was standing on Rin's chest trying to wake her up.
Rin: Alright, alright I'm up. Now what?
Dib continued barking and ran towards the front door. Rin opened the door to a bunch of dogs surrounding a gray figure.
Rin: What is that thing? It seems to be attracting all the dogs in the neighborhood.
Var: PUPPIES!
Rin: C'mon guys. I think it's finally time to see who's behind all this.
Rin, Dib, and Var ran towards the huge crowd of dogs. They saw a small gray robot with bright red eyes.
Rin: Is that…. Gir!?
Gir stepped forward to face Rin. All the surrounding dogs had beating red eyes to match his.
Gir: Hello irken girl.
Rin: Gir, what happened to you? What happened to all the humans?
Gir: my master has still not awakened from the beatings of your furry mutt there.
Dib growled at him.
Gir: So I decided to take matters into my own hands by making every human obey my command!
Rin: But why dogs?
Gir: Dogs are easier to control than humans. I found a taco- looking device made by my master. I put it in my head to store for later and it made me smarter and stronger! I will command my minions to gather materials I will need to create my Doomsday device to blow up my hideous planet.
Rin: Oh come on. These dogs look completely harmless. I could easily stop them.
Zim walked down the street and saw the mob of dogs surrounding the S.I.R unit. He was all black and blue from Dib.
Zim: Is that Gir?
Zim hid behind the tree in front of Rin's house to get a better view.
Gir: Oh you could? Well I'm gonna have to see for myself!
Gir released the pack of dogs after Rin, Dib, and Var.
Rin: *gasp*
Rin picked up Dib and she and Var ran back to Rin's house. Zim followed behind to avoid being attacked. Dogs surrounded the house, barking and scratching at the windows.
Rin: Zim! What are you doing here!? I thought Dib knocked you out cold.
Zim: It takes a lot more than a few cheap punches to make Zim unconscious. Dib's punches made me go to sleep. My computer let me out of the unit. And as for the black and blue; I'm trying new things to help with my disguise.
Dib rolled his eyes. Zim was such a bad liar.
Zim: Anyhow, what is going on!?
Rin: How should I know? It's your S.I.R unit! He said he installed some taco- shaped chip in his brain and he was somehow able to turn all the humans into dogs.
Zim: Taco- shaped chip? My intelligence chip! I've been trying to improve it ever since he last time he went on a rampage. Maybe making it shaped like a taco wasn't such a good idea. AAAHHHH! YOU LET ONE OF THOSE HAIRY BEASTS IN HERE!?
Rin: Zim, it's only- OW!
Dib bit Rin's leg to prevent her from reviling his identity.
Zim: AHH IT BIT YOU! THIS STRANGLY FIMILIAR LOOKING DOG IS SPREADING rabies!
Rin: This mutt is no treat. It's mind isn't being controlled by Gir like the others. Anyways, how do we turn off the chip?
Zim: It can't be turned off. We need to somehow get it out of his head. Hmm…..
Zim glanced at Var.
Zim: I got it. If I can make an identical intelligence chip for you S.I.R unit, then she could easily get the chip out of Gir's head.
Rin: And that would turn all the humans back to normal?
Zim: It should, but I need to use you base. I'm not risking getting mobbed by all those dogs…again.
Dib shivered. He knew exactly what Zim was talking about.
Rin: *sigh* Fine, but I hope you know this is the only time we'll be working together.
Zim: Agreed.
Zim, Dib and Rin looked over at Var. She was drooling and her eyes looked blood shot.
Rin: Uh Var, you ok?
Var: I like em bad….
Rin and Zim looked at each other and looked back at Var. Dib slowly backed away.
Rin: Ok, you need to start working ASAP!
