"I… I need to think." I murmured and walked away before he could say anything to me.
I can't do that… Zim swore that he would wait for me… I have to do the same for him. I pondered all of this throughout the whole night as I tried to sleep in my tent, but I simply couldn't go to sleep.
That's when I heard a gun being fired. "Get away!" I heard Dib yell.
I sat up in my sleeping bag, maybe I'm just dreaming.
I got up and stepped out of the tent, stretching my cramped muscles. But as I stretched, I froze. I heard faint stomping. I spun around to see the Irken army coming closer at an incredible speed.
Another gunshot rung in my ears. "Are you deaf? I said get away!" Dib yelled out.
"Nice shot… my turn." I heard Purples sinister laugh.
Without thinking I ran in the direction of Dib's tent, ripping it open it in time to see that Purple was aiming an Irken gun at Dib.
My heart sped up, I acted on instinct, I was so stupid, why couldn't I just tackle Purple? I just had to jump in front of Dib didn't I?
Purple pulled the trigger as I jumped in front of the green laser that shot out of the gun and hit me.
My jaw slacked as I looked down to see a gaping hole in my chest. I looked back up to see Purples smirk stretch to a full out smile. "I told you Gaz. I told you that I would return." He said as I fell back next to Dib. I couldn't move, I was paralyzed, I was slowly dying.
"Gaz!" Dib yelled out and crouched down next to me, picking me up in his arms, my blood splattering on the floor and onto him. "What the hell did you do?" he yelled at Purple disbelief in his eyes. "You said that you weren't going to do any harm to her if I did this!" I heard Dib yell, I couldn't believe my ears.
"I thought you knew me better than this Dib. Do you really think that I would let you control me like a puppet? Huh?" Purple yelled as my vision started to fade.
"Look, you said that the human race would be safe if I let you escape." Dib said, clutching me to him tightly.
Purple chuckled a dark chuckle. "You puny human. You are so gullible." He said, lifting the Irken gun again, aiming it at me. "Now to finish you off." Purple said and fired at me again several times, overkill, I screamed in agony, and my eyes slowly slid closed.
"You're going to pay for this Purple." Dib growled tears running down his cheek as he stared up at Purple, pure hatred written all over his features. I fought back the darkness that was coming, I had to tell Dib that he had to be strong.
"Dib…" I managed to say, but he didn't hear me.
"I'm afraid that I have already won this war Dib." Purple said.
And with a great pain in my heart, I saw Purple smile a sinister smile and hold up the gun again… this time, he aimed for Dib. "Good bye filthy human." He said and shot at Dib.
Dib couldn't defend himself as he fell back with the impact of the ray. His hold on me disappearing completely and I rolled out of his arms to the ground face down.
I heard gargling sounds and the silence. I heard footsteps coming in my direction and dirt was kicked in my face.
"I knew you were still alive, you just had to see what I was going to do with your brother. This is what you get for destroying the massive and rising up against me. If you have a next life, know your place, you are worthless." He said as he shot me with one final ray and then everything went black.
"Gaz! You aren't supposed to be here! Why did you run in there! Dib was going to die anyways!"
I blinked and looked around; I wasn't in Dibs tent anymore. I looked around to see that everything was foggy beyond belief, a light fire on the ground. I jumped away and bumped into someone.
I looked up to see who it was. "Z-Zim?" I whispered, shocked.
