Chp 11: So close to the doomed end
"Oh… oh no…" Zer looked at the ID pack, then turned away. Gir sat on the floor silently weeping, and Sir pulled out his dog costume and decided to put it on. Zer was completely burned out of ideas. Every time he tried to set something write, something else would happen. All this was just more proof of it.
"Gir, Sir. C'mon. We are leaving."
"Going back home?" said Sir.
"Yes. Home, Sir. Home." He motioned for them to come. Gir sat there. Zer picked him up off the floor and went over below the hole. He looked up at the hole. He carried Gir back through the gate, and Sir followed. He walked over to the old Vootrunner. Zer set Gir on top of it, and wiped some dust and grime on the edges on the latch door. He felt around the edge, looking for something to open it. There was normally an emergency lock under the rim of the door. He found a small bump. He pushed it down, and then pulled up the door with all his might. Sure enough, it opened. The door scraped up on the top of the ceiling, and Zer stepped in. he didn't know if it was still functioning. Sir hopped in with him, and Gir looked in. He stopped his tears.
"MY OLD ICE SUCKY!" He jumped in, and grabbed a little piece of cardboard, with a little bit of color left in it.
"This was my ice sucky! It was all yummy." Zer looked at the controls, exact to his Vootrunner. He pulled a lever, and the engine revved. It still worked.
"Hold on to something" he said. Gir clutched the cardboard, and sir grabbed his foot and shoved it in him mouth. Zer pulled on another lever, and the Vootrunner rammed out of the building. Debris flew everywhere as the Voot zoomed out of the building, taking down much of a wall. The noise caught the attention of several guards, standing but half a mile away.
The Voot wasn't fully functioning. It kept stopping, and then almost hitting the ground before kicking in again. Levers kept braking and buttons kept sticking. In a final attempt to get it up high enough, Zer pulled on a turbo boost button. The back engines kicked in, and the Voot was off. But as soon as Zer went to lift it, the steering lever broke off, and they went down.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *Pant* AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Zer screamed. Gir and Sir laughed their heads off. They went straight into the courtyard of a huge building. None of the were hurt. Zer opened the hatch to the guards from his house, all surrounding them. Before he could even make an attempt at escape, 1 rather puny guard, making it rather degrading when he couldn't get up, pinned him down.
"GIR! SIR!" The defective Sir's stood there watching. They hopped out at Zer's call. Sir ran over to aid his master. While they were distracted by Zer and Sir, Gir ran. Nobody chase after him. Sir, in his suit, ran up to the guard pinning Zer and bit his hand. He didn't move. Another guard came and plucked Sir off him. He handed him to a guard with a rope, who tethered him and tied him up inside a truck. Zer was handcuffed, and put into a separate truck. They drove off, and all the other guards followed. Left there were Dib, and Saje, whom stood there laughing.
