Oh god, I am freaking out.
First I quit my job and now a huge math test is coming up. If I fail, I will have to take a 'special' class next year for 'special' people.
And I really HATE math.
(Freaks out some more)
Then I uploaded what I thought was a new chapter for a YuGiOh story. But it was an older chapter and now my readers are VERY confused.
So enjoy the chapter.
(But the good news is that I am taking an advanced class for English. Hurray for strong points)
DISCLAIMER: I own none of the original!
There was a moment of peace in the main Resisty ship. Narr began to sober up a bit, as the medication wore off. And as reality began to set in, his face began to redden as he recalled his actions.
"Did I really say all those things?" Narr asked, sitting up.
Gaz looked up at him and smirked. She sat back in the bedside chair, as if she owned it. "Well, don't feel so bad. You were so relaxed." Narr glared at her.
"Why are you still here?" He asked sharply. "You should have gone with your brother."
She shrugged. "Because, I was bored. I rather listen to the ramblings of a high alien then meet another one of Zim's disturbed friends."
Narr frowned at that and pointed at her like an upset parent. But before he could say a word, a slight rumbling shook the room. At first, everyone was more startled then scared. It was a little like a thunderstorm.
"What was that?" Gaz asked, who was quickly answered by another rumble. This time, it was more violent then the last. The crewmembers ran up and down the hall screaming orders for a counter attack.
Narr barred his teeth, as he forced himself out of the bed. Even with the advanced medication. Vortains, although strong, are known for being slow healers. Gaz stood up as well, in enough time for a crewmember to barge into the room.
"The Irkens!" He cried out, looked completely terrified. "They tracked us down somehow!"
Gaz clenched her fists. "But that's impossible! Ryuji had his fleet, there was a counter attack!"
Narr pushed past her to get out the door. "Obviously, they were over powered."

Zim shot up from his seat, panicking. "The ship is under attack!" He yelled.
Skooge struggled to sit up. "Oh, really? I honestly didn't know with all the commotion and the tremors." He said sarcastically.
"Good, well now you know."
Dib rather not correct Zim by telling him hat Skooge knew exactly was going on, and he was just being sarcastic. But a thought occurred to him. "I have to get Gaz! Zim, you help Skooge." He said, running out the door.
Zim wanted to tell him to not order him around. But the boy was already out the room, leaving himself with Skooge.
He looks bitterly at Skooge. "The Dib means well." There was another explosion. This time, it shook the ship so hard that some of the medical machines in the room knocked over. Screams began to follow. "But…"
Skooge only smiled. "He is barely a smeet." He said. Zim quickly helped Skooge unhook himself from the machines. As former invaders, they knew how an outdated large ship would stand up to the power of the Irken Army. There wasn't going to be any chance for the Resisty to defend themselves. They had everything from a good leader and a good reason to fight back. They just didn't have the resources to win. It takes weapons, not heart to win a war; or at least that's how it's been for the Irkens.
Skooge had his PAK severely damaged, and repairs weren't quite finished. Energy ran out quickly like an ice cube on a hotplate. In order to solve this, Zim did something no Irken has done for hundreds if not thousands of years.
They linked PAK's.

"Gaz! Oh thank god you are okay!" Dib yelled, pushing past the crowd.
Gaz looked up at Dib. "Where the hell is Zim, we have to get out of here." She snapped.
"He is helping Skooge."
"Wait, helping who?"
"Never mind!" Dib blurted out, tugging his hair anxiously. "And go where? We are sitting ducks and the ships are probably needed for the counter attack!"
Just then Rex bumbled down the hall. He kept knocking down an alien or too, even though he was trying his very hardest not to be in the way. "Humans! Humans, why you not go with the other humans?"
"The other humans were on the second ship Rex." Dib reminded.
Rex thought for a moment, trying to remember what ship he was on again. "Oh, you right. So you go by pod."
"By what?"
"Escape pod!" Rex shouted. "They is tiny ships, able to go far, far, far away!"
"That's great news Rex! But wait…" Dib suddenly remembered the transporting pads. "What about the teleport?"
Rex scowled. "Irkens broke the link. Pad is useless now. You can only use Pods now. Little Gir friend was last on pad. Mr. Googlebutt wanted to see him."
Dib wasn't sure what was worse, Gir being in the hands of a mentally unstable scientist or the fact that the teleportation were down. Before he could ask which way the pods were, Rex was already running off. He was most probably going to help defend the ship.
"Gaz, I got to get you to an escape pod." Dib pulled Gaz down the hall, trying to blaring alarms.
"You don't know which way to go!" Gaz snapped.
He looked around him. He noticed the larger and stronger aliens were running one way while the others was hurrying another way.
"This way!" He followed the weaker pack and sure enough, they led him straight towards a large room filled with airlock doors. It was just like the movies expect more real.
Dib helps Gaz into a pod that already held five others. It was a little crowded, but this was no time to be picky. Thankfully, Gaz didn't complain.
"Gaz, I am going back for Zim so I'll be right behind you." He quickly said. "You'll be safe here."
Gaz turned to her brother, with a shocked expression. "What the hell are you talking about? Get in here!"
"Don't worry."
She attempted to force him in by pulling on his arm. "There won't be any pods left by the time you find him!"
Dib's expression softens and he places his hand on her arm. "You might be right…"
Gaz looks relieved and she loosens her grip, taking this as a sign of him caving in. But at the last second, he tears from her grip and slams the airlock. Gaz screams at him, but he couldn't hear her.
"But I have to try. I'm sorry."
He presses the eject button and he watched the escape pod disappear from view.
