Braids
Chapter 15
Escaping
The next morning, Dib and Esther were feeling a little better. They gained most of their strength back, but were not looking forward to more experimenting. "Yesterday, me, Gaz, and Zim decided we're gonna brake out. You with us?" asked Teq.
"You bet!" exclaimed Esther, "Anything to get out of here!"
Dib nodded, "Definitely... but how?"
Suddenly the door flew open. They pulled out Dib and then Gaz. They both struggled to not be taken away. "Wait! Why Gaz?!" Zim exclaimed.
"We must test this female. She is different from the braid one," answered the soldier.
"Different?! How!?"
"This one," he said signaling to Esther, "Is pregnant."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock, they looked at Dib, who had given up resistance to the soldiers, and his mouth hung open in complete shock. They dragged him and Gaz away. Teq and Zim glanced at Esther, who nearly fainted, but they caught her. "Oh my God..." she said softly, as Teq and Zim helped her sit down. "I'm gonna be a mommy...."
"And Dib's gonna be a dad," Teq added. The door opened again, and a Razerken man wearing a business suit walked in, "Dad?!" exclaimed Teq.
"Hello Junior," greeted his dad. He looked at Esther and Zim, then back at Teq, "You three look exhausted."
"Duh," Teq looked angrily at his father, "What are you doing here anyhow?"
"I've come to help you escape."
"What?" Teq said, not believing his ears, "Why?"
"You think I would leave you here?"
"Well... you have to help Esther, Zim, and the others escape too."
"Of course."
"Neat-o!" exclaimed Esther.
"We'll go to planet Sidini, there you become citizens as soon as possible. When you are citizens, they cannot get you," Teq's dad explained.
"How will we pass the guards?" asked Zim.
"I'll tell them I want to perform a few tests myself, and I need to take you to my ship."
"Dib, we have to get Dib!" Esther said, rising to her feet.
"Yes, of course," he opened the door, and led them out. He turned to a guard and spoke Kenzian, the guard nodded and allowed them to pass. Teq's dad led them to his ship, "You three wait here, while I go get the others."
Minutes later Dib and Gaz rushed into the ship, followed by Teq's father. Razerken soldiers came out and began shooting at them. Teq ran to a cabinet and pulled out a gun, Zim grabbed one from his utility pack. Teq and Zim were about to rush out of the ship and charge at the Razerkens, but Teq's father stopped them; he snatched the gun from Teq's hand, "Son, you fly them to safety. I'll hold the soldiers off." Teq obeyed his father and ran to the pilot's chair, his dad charged at the Razerkens.
Teq pushed a few buttons and the ship began to lift from the ground. Zim, Gaz, Dib, and Esther looked out the window, watching the battle below... Teq's father was not winning, and just before the battle scene was out of view, the four of them witnessed Teq's father fall to the ground... dead. "How's my dad?" Teq asked steering the vessel through space. No one answered, "Dude, how's my dad?!"
"Teq... your dad..." Esther tried to deliver the news, but couldn't.
"... He didn't make it, huh?"
"... yeah."
Teq sighed, "Shit. I knew I should've went with him."
