Zim POV

I was sitting on my chair, the smeet in my arms when someone pounding at the door.

Confusion shot through me as I looked up to see the door being swung open, and on the other side was a panting Dib.

"Dib? What are you doing here?" I asked him, clutching the smeet to me.

"The guards let me out… Zim… Red is here, and he isn't here to make peace." He said, slamming the door shut behind him and leaning against it, barricading the door with his body.

I stood up. "Dib, tell me that this is some cruel joke."

"Does it look like I'm joking to you?" he growled, a fierce glare in his eyes.

"How do you know this anyways?" I asked him, looking down at the smeet in my arms.

"Because, he's out there with an army, terrorizing this planet… he's looking for Gaz." Dib hissed. "I think it'll be best if he doesn't find out about the baby." He said pointing to the smeet in my arms.

"Dib, it's a smeet, not one of your filthy human babies." I growled at him, but then sighed. "I think it's best if Gaz doesn't know that she survived either." I murmured looking down at the smeet… that's when it hit me. "Dib, I need you to do exactly as I tell you."

"And what would that be?" he asked.

"I need you to run away with the… baby." I told him, my squidly-spooch sinking.

"What? Why?" he asked me.

"It's the only thing I could think of right now that'll save her from the clutches of Red." I told him, walking up to him, and handing him the little female.

He grabbed her in his arms and the little… baby… let out a small giggle. "Are you sure Zim?" he asked me.

"Positive, now go before I change my mind." I said, looking away.

There was a pause coming from Dib. "Thank you Zim… for all the things that you've done… bye." He whispered and yanked open the door and ran out of the room.

I sat back down, forcing myself not to go running after them… I needed to be here for Gaz.

I shot up from my seat. Gaz is alone with the doctors and Red was here, I have to be with her.

When I ran out of the room, I heard loud foot steps behind me. "There he is! Get him!"

I turned in time to see a bunch of Irkens running in my direction.

I bolted in the other direction of Gaz's surgery room. Sticking my tongue out at them, taunting them so that they would all follow me instead of going in Gaz's direction.

Thankfully for Gaz, it worked… but just as I was about to run out of the medical unit, they tackled me to the ground. "Zim, Tallest Red has wanted to see you." One of them said, pinning my arms behind my back and cuffing them.

I struggled against their hold and my PAK legs shot out but the managed to hold them down too… I was trapped.

They pulled me up and forced me to walk ahead, poking me with the guns that they held in their hands. I held back a growl and just kept walking.

Looking up, shock filled me as I saw the war that was going on. Jet inhabitants… vs. the almighty Irkens… but it looked like the Irkens were losing; they had fewer men than I thought they would.

The next thing I knew I was blindfolded and someone picked me up, I couldn't feel the ground underneath my feet.

"I can walk!" I exclaimed but then I heard… and then felt a gunshot… my arm was shot and it was darn close to going through my PAK.

My PAK shut down my body because of the surprise… I couldn't feel, hear, sense, see, or do anything.

(A/N: sorry for not updating in a while, but I'm back… I could see the end is close… not sure how close though! )
