Chapter 14- FrankenDib
"Dib isn't thinking normally. Cause is because his father, Professer Membrane, has revealed a secret to him," Computer said, interested for once.
"What is the secret? Tell me," Zim pushed.
"Secret is that Dib is built from other humans parts, a creation of Membrane, drawn to life by science and not by birth," Computer said, marveled. I gasped and brought my hand up to my mouth. He thought he wasn't human anymore. That I didn't have a reason to live anymore, being Irken. His whole life dedicated to revealing monsters, and he turns out to be a monster himself, and his best friend one too.
"Poor Dib," I whispered. He wanted to kill us, and the suddenly realisation must have made him go insane before he could think. He was only in eighth grade, he had a life that wanted to be his friend, and he was willing to throw it away because I was different.
"This odd feeling, what is it? It makes Zim's Squeedily Spooch feel heavy!" Zim asked, shocked. I gave him a half-hearted smile.
"That's called feeling terrible, because of someone else's pain or sorrow. As if Dib's life wasn't hard enough already!" I felt pricks of tears, threatening to flood over my eyes. Just then, Dib's eyes fluttered open. He looked around, confused. Than his eyes landed on me and he scowled.
"Rosella, the traiter," He acused and I felt the threats of the tears become harder to resist.
"Dib, you don't understand, you've got it all wrong," I began. "I just found out that my mom was an Irken, fallen in love with my father, the Prince of Polksland. I was born, half human half Irken, and was abandond on earth, out of fright. The Irken army was after my father, because he was human, and my mom hid me, no Irken ever knowing about me. She died of a broken heart later, leaving me an orphan."
Dib looked skeptical. "How do you know all of this suddenly?" I closed my eyes at the terrible truth.
"Because I have a step-sister. She was adopted because she had no parents, she was born in a tube like Zim, she was an experiment. It's Tak," I said quietly. I watched Dib's eyes grow wider and wider and wider. I looked up at Dib, with eyes that begged I'm-telling-the-truth-please-believe-me. It must have worked because Dib's face showed realazation in every corner.
"You're telling the truth," He said. It wasn't a question. I nodded.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was scared you would react just like you did, and hate me because of what I was," I confessed.
"And you did react like that," Zim said acusingly. Dib looked horrible.
"I'm sorry, Rose. It's just- today has been the worst day of my life. Today, my dad, er, creator I should say, told me that I didn't have a mom, I was an experiment too. An experiment gone wrong, he said. He doesn't even care about me. No one in the whole world cares about me," He said, looking like he was going to cry. I WAS crying.
"I do," I said. "And deep down in Gaz's cold heart, I know she does, even a little. I'm guessing she was an experiment too, but that just makes you two closer. And even though Zim won't admit it, deep down I know that besides me, he's the closest thing to a friend that he has. Same with you, too."
Dib closed his eyes and looked thoughtful. "I-I guess your right. I guess I'll still fight for earth, just for you, Rose. But after that, if Tak doesn't love me back, I'm going to ask her to kill me. Earth doesn't need me, anymore. I have no more reason to defend it. I'm not Dib the human, I'm FrankenDib," He said. I frowned, even if the name he gave himself was funny.
"No, Dib. Don't kill yourself. You can't be a little emo kid, I won't allow it," I said, crossing my arms. "I'm not letting you out of the tube until you you say you won't kill yourself or anyone else that really matters to you."
Dib frowned too. "Fine, I won't. Now let me out," I frowned deeper.
"Pinkie swear it," I comanded. He sighed.
"Pinkie swear," He said, holding up his pinkie.
"And... say that you are a big-head-boy filled with dooky!" Zim comanded.
"Okay, okay, that's going a little far," I smiled and skipped over to the airlock, letting him out. Gravity made him fall to the ground, and he walked out. I gave him a big hug.
"Your like the brother I never had, I won't just let you go," I promised and smiled at him. Dib shrugged and walked down to Zim, with me following behind.
"On the plus side, I figured out what was making Gaz so girlie, but I don't think we can fix it." My face fell.
"Oh, no. What?" I asked.
"It's her neckless! Didn't you notice that she always wears it and never take it off? The neckless has a power like no other, making it so that she is always in a gloomy, Gaz-like state. She got the neckless from a vending machine in Bloaty's that one night, and she hadn't taken it off since. But Dad, er, Membrane had created Gaz to be girlie, so he thought she was a failed experiment too, but really it was the neckless," Dib rambled on. I smiled. Dib was back.
"But why is the neck-chokeing thing gone now?" Zim asked.
"I haven't quite figured that out yet," Dib confessed. Suddenly, I remebered back to when Tak paid me a visit, and I realised I wasn't the only person she visited.
"I know why!" I yelled. They both looked at me.
"What?" They asked in unision.
"Tak! It's the doomsday device! The thing that makes all the powder go off! Remember back to when she was explaining everything to Mimi? It's the device she was going to snatch! I saw her when she attacked Zim's house! She was wearing it!" I said excitedly, realising that Gaz having a doomsday device neckless wasn't too ironic.
"Wait, she attacked his house?" Dib asked. I then procided to explain yesterday's events to him. He seemed to have been seeing the light for the first time. "Wow, that's amazing, this plan is just so well thought out..."
"DIB! Stop marveling over her plan that we're trying to stop!" I said. He shook his head as if waking up.
"Sorry, you're right, sorry. Now, we need to think about how to get the neckless back..." Dib said. I closed my eyes and thought. But suddenly, my ears were blasted with a huge BOOM! I opened my eyes and saw nothing but rubble.
Through my coughs, I yelled out my friend's names. "Zim! *Cough cough* Dib! *Cough* Zi-*Cough attack*" But nobody answered. I realized there must have been a bomb gone off, but who would've planeted a bomb? Dib in his murdurous rage? No, he would have mentioned it.
A shadow passed over me. I moved my head to look at the cause of the shadow. I felt weak, and I felt even weaker as I blacked out.
Tak was back; Again.
