Episode 37: Zim's & Zena's Decision

Tenn: I Sure hope Zim can handle this kind of training....I heard Irkens died in this process.

Don: What kind of training is this?

Dib: A harsh one...

Linux: Oh well, if Zim dies that means less work for me.

Melissa: Be Strong Zim-Kun...

Farggo: So let's find out What Gir is capable of huh?

Cten: Yeah whatever.

Trek: the only thing he's capable of is being dumb.

Gir: Just like mashed Potato's!

Terra: It's been a long time, Zana.

Sprint: Can I kill her now? Now?!

Tak: Not yet Sprint!

Nemo: Poor Zena, but I guess its for her own good.

Training Room

Red and the others got into a room with a big one way window on the wall (They can see Zim, but Zim can't see all of them) Red sat down and pushed the 'inter-com' button. "Alright Zim, we only have so much time, so you'll be learning all 500 Levels of A.I.S Training in one day...hopefully in a few hours...Everything you feel in this room is not an illusion its real, and it can kill you. Any Injuries you get will hurt you, this isn't a game......So are you ready for your first level?" Red explained. Zim quickly jumped up from the floor. "Bring it on!" He said in a cocky tone. Red started the insinuation. All of a sudden in the room Zim was in went pitch dark. "Whoa....Okay I can't see." He said to himself. From Behind him a beam of light shot up from the floor to the roof, and smoke started to come out from the dark where the light was coming from. It was making a loud shaking noise, as if an earthquake were happening. Zim slowly turned around to face whatever was coming up from the ground. He tried to keep his balance as the ground shook under-neth his feet. Then an evil laugh was heard. It was so loud it made Zim jump as he got a 'starting to panic' look on his face. Then all of a sudden everything stopped and the light shinned on a stuffed bunny. Zim was so hyped up when the Stuff bunny was shown he jumped back and screamed....but then noticing what it was he got a 'What is that?....' look on his face. "It's.....It's a Bunny.....a stuffed....bunny...RED SENSAI!" Zim started as he turned around back to the window. "I'M NOT THAT LAME! COME ON! I AM ZIM SURELY I CAN HANDLE A STUPID LITTLE BUNNY!" Zim complained as he swung is arms in the air.

But while Zim was yelling away. Something was slowly stalking him from behind. It stayed in the shadows, but when it opened its eyes (Two eyes on each side of its head) you can see its red demonic glow. It seemed like it was ready to pounce on Zim's back. It started to show its teeth and growl, like a Cougar or a Jaguar. Zim finally stopped yelling and got a blank look on his face. "There's.....something behind me...isn't there?" He asked as he slowly turned around with a 'half-panicked' look upon his face. He made eye contact with the animal and it immediately roared at him like a wild lion would. Zim Immediately activated his spider, robotic legs from out of his Pak and started to run away from the animal. The animal chased after him and it was gaining on him fast. "Agh!" Zim thought to himself. "I got to get behind this thing!" Zim couldn't see since the room was dark, the only thing Zim saw wear red eyes coming towards him. He soon jumped into the air and retracted his spider-robot legs back into his Pak and used his Irken Ability to fly over the monster in the opposite direction the Animal was going. He was going in the direction of the beam of light. When he got somewhat close to the beam Zim stayed in mid-air as he franticly looked around for the beast. "Where did it go?" He asked himself. But out of no wear it managed to get behind him again and pounced on his back, while he was in Mid-air thus forcing him into the ground. The animal instead of clawing him to death jumped off of him and stepped back to see if Zim was even alive after falling from that great of a height surely he's be dead on impacted.

After a few moments Zim flew out of the ground and stayed into the air. They made eye contacted again and the animal jumped at Zim once more, only Zim barley dodged the attack and went flying off in the opposite direction once again, which was going toward the beam again. "How do I stop this thing?!" He thought then, in his mind, heard Red answer back. "Fighting this monster isn't that hard, it you'd stop flying around like a scared house fly and pay attention, you'll figure it out." Zim then looked back to see the Animal following right behind him on the ground. Zim looked in front of him but he still couldn't see anything. "How am I suppose to pay Attention to anything if I can't see a dang thing?" He asked himself, as he did another monster jumped at him scratching his face deep enough for the blood to rush out. The Powerful swipe of the monster's claw caused Zim to fly backwards into a wall, he hit it so hard some blood shot out from his mouth. He slowly slid down the wall leaving a small trail of blood on the wall and laid on the floor. He appeared to be knocked out...or worse and the monsters with they're red eyes cornered him. Meanwhile As the others watched in the room Melissa got a panicked look on her face as she thought. "Zim-kun...wake up...wake up!" Dib kept watching as he said to Linux. "Dude they're kicking Zim's butt out there." Linux kept watching as well as he answered. "Well yeah, if he's not nocturnal how can he fight if he can't see?" Don bit the side of her figure as Tenn had a serious yet worried look on her face as they all watched. As the Monsters started to close in on him. He slowly opened his eyes half way and looked to the right of him, passed one of the monsters and he saw the beam of light still coming up from the ground.

"If I get to close to that beam they attack me.....They don't want me over there..." He thought to himself. Then quickly tried to think of a way to get to that beam as fast as he could. But just as he was thinking of a plan both monsters jumped at him as if to attack their pray. Back in the room Melissa covered her eyes, Tenn turned her head away and Linux covered his ears in a panic. After a moment everything was quiet...........

Dib Opened one of his eyes and his face went from a worried one to an 'Alright' one as he opened both of his eyes and hit Linux. "He's Alright!" Linux let go of his ears as Melissa un-covered her eyes, and Tenn turned her head back to face the window. And they saw how Zim was flying as fast as he could towards the light. He landed right in the middle of the beam; the monsters ran up to the light as well. Zim saw the monsters coming and took cover to get ready for them. But instead as soon as the monsters touched the light, they let out a cry and backed off. Zim, after realizing nothing had happened, watched as the monsters paced a circle around the light. As if to wait for Zim to walk out of the light, if only for a second. Zim kept his eye on the monsters. "Well, that explains why they didn't want me near the light." He paused his thinking for a moment then continued. "I got to find away to kill these things." He finished his thought. Then he got an idea. One of his Spider-robotic legs came out from his Pak with a laser on it that was pacifically designed for cutting iron and steel. Zim figured if it could cut iron and steel surely it could kill an animal. He made the laser size as big as he could and said to himself. "I only got one shot at this." He aimed and shot one of the animals between the eyes. The animal screamed in terror as you could hear it running around and then THUD hear it fall to the ground. Zim quickly turned around and shot at the one. Shooting it in the side of the arm. It yelped and started to run around the light faster and faster until it was just a blur. Zim was starting to get dizzy so he closed his eyes. Just then the Animal growled again and Zim's eyes shot wide open as the animal jumped one last time at him, not caring about the light at all. Zim put his arms up to protect himself and closed his eyes in terror....But then once again nothing happened. Zim slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the animal. It got stabbed in the chest by Zim's Spider-Robotic leg. Zim Move the leg and threw the monster off of it. Then he fell to the ground on his knees as the lights turned back on.

With the lights the monsters evaporated into nothing as Zim sat there out of breathe and shaking out of fear you could see the scratch Zim got across his face bleeding, as the blood was down his face and on to the floor. His Robotic Leg was bent out of shape from holding so much weight from the monster; it was so bent out of shape Zim couldn't pull it back into his pak so it just rested on the floor. Red pushed the inter-com button and said. "Congratulations, you made it pasted Level one." Purple shook his head as his closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "I'm actually surprised. I really thought he was going to die." Linux looked at Purple and then Red. "You mean this was.....ONLY LEVEL ONE?! WHAT THE PENGUIN IN LEVEL 2 LIKE?!" Red started turing dials as he said. "Who said Zim was taking Level 2?" Dib looked at Red with a confused look on his face. "Isn't that the next level?" Red nodded. "Of course, but since we're pressed for time, he's going to every fifth level...which means in stead of doing level 2 next he's going to level 5." Dib stood there for a second then said. "Wwhhaaattt?!" Don pushed Dib out of the way. "You want Zim to die?!" She asked out of anger. Red shook his head. "This that a trick question?" Gaz face palmed as she explained. "It's like a video Game. Some levels in certain cases really are just a waste of time. The first level determines how well you'll do in the game. Red is like the Game Cheat, He decides what levels you go to next. Its like a Cheat code mixed in with a Role Playing game." Don just looked at her, not understanding....But she figured at least if someone understands whats going on then everything should be somewhat okay.

Zim however was still sitting on the floor trying to compose himself but thoughts were filling up his mind that freaked him out even more. "Th-this is the stuff Zena and the others went through?....I'm going to die in this training room." Red looked through the window to see Zim still sitting on the floor. "Zim, are you ready for the next Level?" He asked. Zim snapped out of his thinking and slowly, still shaking looked up at the window and slowly nodded. Then got up. Red Smiled and turned the knob. "Alirght then, begin Level 5."

Farggo's Lab

In Farggo's Lab. Cten was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and her head resting on her hand. While Trek was sitting on the table kicking her legs back and forth. Gir however was tied down to a chair with his toung sticking out. "I LIKE THIS GAME!" He shouted. Cten looked at Farggo as he was passing back and forth with a clip board in his hand. "Farggo, what are you looking at?" Farggo, without looking up at Cten answered. "I'm looking at Gir's blue prints and background information, it appears as though he was a....well a normal SirBot at one point, but then was shut-down, disconnected, and was placed in the broken room." He explained. Interested Cten sat up as she asked. "How come?" Farggo shook his head. "I'm not sure, it doesn't say. these are the only files that I have of Gir....it says the shut-down was ordered by Tallest Miyuki but it doesn't say why." Trek chuckled. "You mean to tell me that this idiot over here has some kind of dark background?" Farggo nodded as he answered. "Yes...I believe so....the question is...what was Tallest Miyuki trying to get rid of in Gir....and why?" Cten thought for a moment then asked. "Well wait, if Gir was shut-down, why was he given to Zim?" Farggo looked up at Cten and shrugged. "Who knows?" He answered. Trek jumped off the table and looked up at Farggo. "So we better get started on finding out what it was then." Farggo nodded as he hooked up sensors to Gir. "I FEEL TINGLY!" Gir Shouted, Ignoring Gir, Farggo turned to Trek. "Trek, you said you thought you may have noticed something during that fight with the AIRbots.....Correct?" He asked.

Trek nodded. "Yeah, as I was running up to the fight, Gir was full of blood. But by the time I got there, Jay-Jay left and Gir wasn't bloody anymore." Farggo thought about this. "I see...." Then he turned to Gir hopefully to get some answers. "Gir, do you remember anything of that fight?" Gir thought about it then answered. "No....BUT I REMEMBER A KITTY! It went like this. MOOOO!" Farggo hit his head. "Agh, if he can't remember what happened I'll have to run all thes-" "Wait!" Gir interrupted. "I remember something else......I remember...Seeing red stuff...and it was on my hand....and then......I saw the kitty......then poof! Everything went to rainbow! And then I saw Trek." He explained then went back to singing a song. Cten stood up. "You think that red stuff he's talking about....was blood? She asked. Farggo looked at Cten with an obvious looked. "Well it wasn't pudding." He answered then thought about it for a moment." Whatever happens to Gir, Only happens when he see's blood." He explained. "But" Cten started "How would anything be triggered? He must not have whatever it was anymore, if the Tallest gave him to Zim." Farggo shook his head. "Not exactly, sometimes when something, or someone has a memory or some ability and then end up in a coma, or in Gir's case shut-down for a very long period of time. The Memory or ability buries itself keep with in the persons mind, or main database. Once the person is awaked however it'll seem like the ability or memory has disappeared, as if they've been cured of it. But...for some reason certain Smells, sounds, touches, and even certain things you see can bring the memory or ability right back, but it only last for so long, until whatever triggered it goes away.

In this case, for some reason when Gir see's blood it triggers whatever ability he has. The tallest gave him to Zim, thinking because he was shut-down for so long. The problem would've been gone by now." Farggo explained then he grabbed a scalpel from off the desk, rolled up his sleeve and cut the side of his arm. Just enough for blood his green blood to come through the cut. Trek looked at Farggo then at Gir. "Gir! Look at the blood! Look at it!" Trek ordered. Gir looked at the blood but nothing happened. Cten put her hands on her hips. "Well I guess you're big speech was for nothing." Farggo shook his head again. "Not quite, Trek you said Gir was a human at that time right?" He asked. Trek nodded. "Yeah... why?" "Because, I'm going to turn Gir into a human and then run the experiment again, if my hypothesis is correct, the blood will unlock Gir's ability that way." Trek put her hands on her sides just like Cten as she said. "Well he can't become a Human if we don't have Zena's Transformer." Farggo smiled as he pulled out a transformer of his own. "Not to worry, we can use mine." Trek just pointed with a 'WTF' look on her face. She thought only Zena had one? Farggo's however was more high-tech, he pushed a green button and a holographic light came out of it. As it scanned Gir he became human. Farggo then stood back along with Cten and Trek jumped into Cten's arms. "One more time." Farggo cut his arm again and this time when Gir saw the blood...."Blood?" Gir said to himself. Then he closed his eyes and they shot back open blood red.

He had a Chaotic smile on his face as his own blood started to bleed through his own skin without any cuts to him at all, and he drooled blood as well. His nails all of a sudden threw longer and he ripped off the ties on his arms and then ripped off his Jacket, reveling only the white t-shirt under it which was drenched in blood as well. Like someone stabbed him ten times. Cten was terrified so she hid behind Farggo and held Trek tight. Farggo rolled down his sleeve as he watched Gir turn demonic. Gir Ripped through the ties of the chair and ran on all fours at Farggo like a wild animal. Cten closed her eyes as she hides her head in Farggo's back. "FARGGO!" She screamed in terror. Farggo quickly pulled out a taser gun and turn to higher then 10,000 volts and shot it at Gir. Gir got hit and was shocked until he passed out on the floor. Cten was trebling and could look up from Farggo's back to see what happened. Soon all of the blood went back into Gir's body, until he looked like the only thing that happened was Gir got tasted and passed out on the floor. Farggo eyed Gir then said to Cten. "It's alright Princess....Gir is out cold." Cten slowly looked up from Farggo's back then hit him in the back of the head. "DONT' YOU EVER PUT ME IN DANGER LIKE THAT AGAIN!" She cried as Farggo rubbed his head with nervous look on his face. "Heh, sorry you highness." Cten gave him that evil glare as Trek jumped to the floor and next to Gir. "How come you get the awesome ability?" She whispered to him. Farggo put his right hand on his left arm, where the cuts were, His hand glowed purple as his healing ability started to heal his wounds. While he was doing this Farggo looked at Cten and Trek. "We'll have to report this to the Tallest...or Tallest Red anyway..."

Dizukou Clan Hideout

Meanwhile on Planet Disturbia on the outskirts of the planet was a little house. It seemed haunted and old. With ripped up grey sheets for window curtains that flapped in the wind, and a broken door just barely hanging on the to door hinge swung back and forth as the wind pushed it. The location of this little house was in the middle of a desert. It looked alot like the deserts of Nevada. Just mountains, and hills filled with desert sand, deformed castises and little four eyed, two tailed, 8 legged creators that walked around during the night. This house however was a deceiving you from what it really was. For inside this house was a door on the floor, when you'd open the door it would take you down a dark tunnel, and you'd soon find yourself in a abanded laboratory. It was hugh, over 36 levels and enough place for two full airplanes to be parked in. This place was giant, but also looked at though it was abanded. There where only dim orange and red lights on. And maybe a few broken red alarm lights that just flickered on and off every four seconds. On the 16th level however it seemed it was turned into a jail house. One computer stood in the room, and there were touchier weapons all over the ground, as if someone threw them there. At the end of the room as one long jail cell. The bars were stained with blood and scratch marks. The cell was not only long, but it was steep as well.

It went strait down to 9 feet. All the way down chains were seen bottled to the wall. Some with blood on them, as if someone was in them before. In between the cell walls where spiders and scorpions crawled in and out of the walls and on the ground as well. On the ground there was mold between the ground and the starting of the walls and mutant rats ever now and then ran across the ground into their nesting hole in the wall. This cell was dark and cold. And sitting there, in the darkest corner of the cell. Her arms and legs chained to the wall was Zena. She looked all beat up as if a monster attacked her and she wasn't able to defend herself. There were deep cuts on her face and her head. Along with that her Irken uniform was ripped in certain places. Like in the legs and arms. Zena slowly opened her eyes. The only light color in the cell where her light green eyes. With her eyes half way opened and could barely move, she looked around the cell and asked herself. "Wh-where am I?.....what happened?" Just then a eerie, psychic laugh echoed through the cell; Zena's eyes opened wider as she looked around to see where the laugh came from but then a chuckle was heard followed by a voice. "Well look who decided to wake up finally, Jake must've hit you little too hard to knock you out for that long." The voice said. It was a snaky sounding voice. You could tell it was a girl speaking but her voice.....it had such a strong feeling of an evil serpent it was as if you could imagine an evil, demonic serpent talking. Zena didn't recognize the voice at first....but she did recognize the name the girl said.

"Jake?...Jak hit me?" She asked herself. Just then Terra, Sprint, Jak, Nemo, and Tak jumped into the cell and appeared in front of Zena. Zena looked at them and noticed them right away. "T-...Terra....What...Agh...What are you doing?" Zena asked. Before Terra could answer Tak laughed as she said. "Hhaha, I love this new look on you Zena...this fix you really well." Zena didn't say anything back she just looked at all of them. "What do you want with me?" Zena asked with a hint of trebling in her voice. Terra chuckled again. "Isn't it obvious Zena? We want to you join our side, we knew you wouldn't come quietly so we hand to take.....extreme measures." Terra explained. Zena got a serious look on her face. "What do you mean? Join your side?" She asked. Terra answered. "Join our side to take over the universe...along with the Irken Empire." Zena got a confused look on her face as she heard this, because the A.I.S was sworn to protect the Irken Empire, along with the tallest...not to do the opposite. "What? You can't do that, we were sworn to the empire and the tallest you can't betray them and even if you did Red Sensei and Tallest Purple will not let you get away with it....they'll kill you." Zena threatened but Terra just chuckled again. "You're right Red and Purple wont let us get away with it.....that's why we came up with a plan....With just me, Sprint, and Jak....Tallest Purple would be hard to defect....but not as hard as Tallest Red would be. Since he's one of us me, Sprint, and Jak wouldn't be able to defeat him.....unless we have you."

With that Zena gasped as her eyes shot open, Terra continued. "With you on our side we'll be able to kill Red....because as we've all seen....He can't read a teleporter's mind. He won't be able to keep up with you, and while you're distracting him...me and the others will finish him off. Then once we take the throne we'll enslave the empire and take over the world ourselves." Zena Couldn't believe what she was hearing....destroy the empire....kill the Tallest? None of this made since to her at all. "So all you need me for is to kill Red sensei?" Zena asked Tak answered the question. "Of course not....we'll need you to protect us from anyone who want to stop us." Nemo started where Tak left off as he said. "But for that you'll need to reach your full poetical, which my love....we all know you have." Sprint took it from there. "See little Zena, you're too nice IT'S SICK!....So we've decided to change that! By fixing that PAK of yours." She explained Zena got confused and asked. "You cannot mess with my PAK or I will die. Then you won't have me for your plans." Sprint shook her head. "Oh yes we can! We can change you without you dying....hhaha unless of course you WANT to die!" "Wha? What do you mean?" Zena asked. Terra got down on one knee and rested her arm on her knee as she answered. "we can do this two ways Zena, you can either join us and go through the process without dying.....or not go along with us...and You'll die....then we'll bring you back to life with your new PAK....you wont remember a thing, you'll be just as blood thirsty as Sprint.....maybe even a bit more." Tak smiled.

"So it's your choice Zena! You can either join us, or die become a mindless psycho like Sprint." at that comment Sprint looked at Tak. "I am....NOT A MINDLESS PSYCHO AHHH!" She shouted as she went to kill Tak but Jak stopped Sprint by holding her back. "Agh, Sprint calm down!" he said as Terra rolled her eyes. "So what will it be Zana?" Zena looked Terra right in the eyes; this is how sure she was of her answer. "Kill me..." Tak got a surprised look on her face as Sprint said. "WHAT?! YOU'D DIE FOR THOSE IDIOTS?!" Zena replied. "I will die before I betray the empire, if you want me on your side you will have to kill me.....and don't think I will die without a fight." She finished and Terra just stared at her for a second then said. "Fine...you want to fight for them all? Go ahead...I'll make sure your tourchered before you DIE!" Terra shouted that last word as she sucker punched Zena in the side of the face. The impacted was so swift and hard that it made Jak, Nemo, and Tak jump. Zena's head stayed turned from everyone, they all seen the bloody mark Terra's punch left on Zena's face. The punch was too hard almost breaking Zena's jaw and it broke Zena's skin causing it to bleed. Nemo saw this and got angered. "TERRA YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T PUT A HAND ON HER FACE!" Terra got up and turned to Nemo. "Awe, I'm sorry did I hurt your little girlfriend? I do what I want. Your just lucky I didn't kill here right here and that I'm still keeping the end of my deal for you." Terra said. Nemo just gave her an evil glare, but Terra just smiled.

"Now you be a good little boy and shut-up." She said as she jumped out of the cell with Tak behind her. Sprint looked at Zena, who still didn't turn her head to face them all. "Oh By the way! Don't' try to teleport yourself out of here, because those bars will shock your brains out! And then I get to stab you and tear you apart!...hhaha and we don't' want that right?!" Sprint teased as she too jumped out of the cell leaving just Jak and Nemo. Nemo got down on his knees and tried to get Zena to turn her head so he could see if she was okay. Jak however just watched him until Terra called out to Jak. "Oh Jak while your down there! Go ahead and show Zena what kind of fire she's gotten herself into." With that Sprint laughed. "YEY BURNING IS FUN!" hearing this Nemo got up and looked to Jak with a serious look on his face. "Don't....Touch her face..." he said as he jumped out leaving Jak and Zena. Zena finally turned her head to look at Jak. Jak didn't say anything at first he just walked over to her and got down to her level, then un-did her chains. Zena didn't look at what he was doing she just asked. "What are you doing?" Jak quietly answered. "Making this a fair fight...." Once Zena was unchained he whispered to her. "Forgive me....Zena" with that his hand became a blaze as he grabbed her arm and threw her across the cell. Her arm was immediately burned and she hit the wall very hard. "AHH!" She screamed as she bounced off the wall and hit her face but she was more in pain because of her arm. "AHH MY ARM!" She screamed in terror as she stayed there on the ground. But then she got up, still holding her arm. And with a determined look on her face as she looked at Jak, who had both of his hands on fire she thought to herself. "If I'm going to die....I'm gonna die with honor." With that she took off her bow and let it fall to the ground as she got into a fighting stance.

"This is it....no holding back......"
