Chapter 9: A Dark Moon Rising
Zim walked used the elevator and went up to the Director's office where he was battling for his life against the seagulls. They had torn his clothes, office supplies, and paperwork. He was covered in white poop and was hiding under his desk.
He threw the last key at Zim and said, "Here take it, take everything, but most importantly TAKE THE SEAGULLS!!!!!" Then he gave a yell like a girl and Zim laughed her Invader Zim laugh. She took the last key and opened the door. The seagulls let the director go and followed her (they like Zim better anyway) down the hall towards Invader Zim. She carefully put the key in it's lock and the manacle fell off of Invader Zim's neck. Zim pulled Invader Zim's hand toward the elevator and said, "Let's go! We don't have much time!"
"What's the rush? Didn't you win the last key?"
"Yes, but the humans here are unstable. They could change their minds any minute and the sun is setting. That means my family will be having dinner soon. If they find out I'm gone........" Zim let that hang and Invader Zim could see through her eyes the fear that went through her mind. The fact that her parents would think maybe, maybe she ran away. They would look in her room for clues where she might run to and they would find her diary.........along with her Invader Zim tapes, pictures of Jhonen, and her Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics. He could see the fear that when the DID find her secret stash they would burn. Seeing her most favorite possessions turn to rubble and ash. And Invader Zim could see two things: The fire of fear, a fire that she might get caught and a fire of spirit that she couldn't let everyone down, not even if her life depended on it.
"Let's take the crusier." Invader Zim said finally, "When the show was canceled they stuffed everything under my and Jhonen's name in the lab, except the crusier, and my lab is in this!" he held out the pen and paper he used in "The Nightmare Begins" tape. He put it back in his backpack thingy, whatever it's called, and they both hurried down towards the stairs.
"They'll probably follow us through the elevator." Zim said. They ran out back and hopped in the Voot-cruiser." Suddenly something popped into Zim's mind.
"WAIT! What about the All Mighty Tallest or Dib or G.I.R. or Gaz or..."
"Calm down they are in the lab munching on my supplies. Nickelodian knew that my lab was voice-activated and that's why you found me stuck in a cage." Invader Zim interrupted. The crusier began to warm up and lift. They flew all the way back to Sacramento and landed in Zim's backyard. Together they found a way to hook the lab to Zim's room and to the ground. When Invader Zim pushed the drill into the ground it caused an earthquake. (if you'd seen the "Nightmare Begins you know what I mean) They went over the steel fence and went through the house with Zim's house key. They quickly closed and locked the door and went up to Zim's room. Zim had finally redecorated her room and Invader Zim seemed to like her style. The thing he liked the most was the picture of him and G.I.R. all around the room. They went over to the lab and opened the door. Everyone found a way to snuck out and lived around the same city as Zim and Invader Zim. Except the AMT went back to Irk and of course G.I.R. stayed with Invader Zim. Zim ate dinner and the sun settled. The moon rose high into the sky but there was something wrong. It was a cloudy so there were no stars. The moon was a new moon. A dark moon. When ever something terrible happened is when a new moon came out. It was the moon of tragedy, humiliation, guilt, and shame and Zim feared this moon.
Invader Zim seemed to notice the Dark side of the moon was full and even though G.I.R. didn't understand he had the same feeling and said, "What's going on? Why is the moon gone? Who are those people? Why do they look so mean?" Zim's room's only window face out side to her driveway. She looked down and saw the cops.
"It's the human law enforcement." Invader Zim noticed and Zim nodded in agreement. She quickly turn her lights off and told them to get down, "I don't want them to see you. Don't worry about me. No matter what, until I tell you to stay here and stay quiet." G.I.R. began to cry. Not his noisy cry but more like a quiet sobbing cry. Zim went down stairs where she was question for Invader Zim's whereabouts. Invader Zim and G.I.R. could here the screaming and shouting and finally it was all quiet. Not the quiet of relief to know that it was all over but the quiet that said it had only started. Even G.I.R. stopped sobbing and held his breath in the silence. The door slammed and G.I.R. and Zim looked at the window. They shoved Zim in the car and drove off. Her trial would be tomorrow.
