Zim Fic 103a/b: Lord of the Worm-Babies
A/N: Time for some more character craziness.
Scene 3
Fade In
The various children are in groups, mostly the individual classes, talking excitedly amongst themselves
Dib and Zim stand outside the group that is their class
Dib: This is stupid. They're all talking about how FUN this will be. About tree houses and swinging vines.
Zim: What do YOU know earth-stink? This WILL be fun. I will subjugate the entire population of filthy children ... WORM-BABIES ... and order them to build me a fortress on this island. muttering Yes ... I could have GIR move the Base ... change operations to here ...
Dib: I can hear you.
Zim: Eh ... eh ... quiet! You heard NOTHING!
Dib: You're gonna get your dumb robot to move your base here.
Zim: Eh? Pushes Dib down on the sand and runs away Ayeyeyeyeyeyeye!
Dib is lying down in the sand. He puts a hand down to push himself up
Dib: Ow!
He picks up a beautiful giant conch shell
Dib: Pretty ... say! I have an idea!
Dib puts his lips to the shell and tries to blow on it like a trumpet. He stops and spits out a bunch of sand. He tries again, blowing with all his might, turning red in the face. There is no sound.
Dib: Stupid ...
Hops up onto a fallen tree-trunk and blows into the conch. A great sound comes from the conch, like a summons for all the children. They all flock to Dib, mesmerized by the sound of the conch.
Dib: Holds the conch high over his head EVERYONE! We have to all work together for our own good! This won't go well unless we can all work and contribute equally! I suggest we form a democratic system where we all vote for a leader, and a group of representatives from each class, and a ...
Zim: Zim leaps up onto the tree log, grabs the conch, and pushes Dib off BOW TO ME!!
Children: Sooooo pretty ... must obey ... Zim.
Dib: From behind the tree stump How do they know your name?! Most of them have never seen you before!
Several children in the back, out of Dib's view aren't bowing, nor do they know Zim
The tall boy with the laptop Dib met earlier scoffs at the bowing children
Gyok: Weak minded fools ... yet, the power of the conch ... has some sort of power emanating from it ... if I could get a hold of it to study ... The lizard on his shoulder crawls around to his other shoulder and flicked its tongue Yes, I will control the conch, but I can wait ...
Zim: You will build me a fortress on this HORRIBLE beach, of leafs and twigs and rocks and ... other ... stuff. GO! Begin building!
Dib: Gets up and faces Zim You ... jerk. Hurries over to the children that seemed unaffected by the hypnotic conch You! You all! You weren't bowing!
Galadriel: Hey, you're the guy from before. Why did you give that dumb green kid the conch?
Dib: He kinda ...
Galadriel: ... took it from you.
Dib: Well, I'm Dib. My dad's Professor Membrane if you watch his show ...
Gyok: Dib, eh? Membrane, eh? He has some interesting theories on hypnosis. Maybe we can compare notes? My name's Gyok.
Dib: Actually, I'm not into HIS kinda science. I'm interested in PARANORMAL studies, y'know, aliens and bigfoot and stuff.
Gyok: Then you know ...
Dib: Yeah, Zim's an alien.
Gyok: Actually, I was going to say that Mia's into paranormal stuff too.
Dib turns to the girl he thought was gothic before ^^ - she had short brown hair, and an outfit similar to his, black trench coat and pants, and she was wearing a shirt that read 'I have problems'
Dib: Mia?
Mia: Yeah?
Dib: I'm Dib.
Mia: Okay.
There is a lengthy, if not uncomfortable pause
Dib: Do you have ...
Mia: Psh. It's just a shirt.
Dib looked around the group. Also there was the girl with blue hair with her nose in a book. She was still reading
The girl lowered the book from her face. She actually had golden-coppery colored hair, and VERY blue eyes
Dib: Hiya, I'm Dib, who are - wow! How'd you do that?
Katrina: I'm Katrina ... do what?
Dib: Your hair was blue, and now it's all yellow - orangy.
Katrina: Smiles Oh, that. It's my eyes reflecting off the pages while I'm reading. I have a big book because they glow when I read, and the light makes my hair look a different color.
Dib: That's ... different.
Katrina: Quietly I think it's neat.
Dib: Soooo, everyone here was able to resist Zim and the conch?
Gyok: Not so much resist ...
Galadriel: ... more, 'wasn't affected'.
Dib: Mia, Katrina, Galadriel, and Gyok, and then myself. That's five -
Mia: You can count!
Dib: Y-yeah -
Mia: Just letting you know.
Dib: Okay, we're five -
Mia: In case you didn't know.
Dib caught Mia's eye and they both blushed and laughed awkwardly. No one notices
Dib: Anyway, we HAVE to stop Zim! We maybe few, and they maybe many -
Galadriel: Which tends to happen when we are few ...
Dib: Can I finish a sentence?
Mia & Galadriel: Sigh Fine.
Dib: But we have to find away to get the conch out of his slimy alien hands ...
Gyok: Is he really slimy?
Dib: ... AND get the kids to understand that this is for real.
Galadriel: Sounds good, let's go.
Dib: Everyone with us?
Mia & Gyok: Yeah.
Dib: What about you Katrina?
Katrina: Just so you know, I am against violence.
Dib: Will you help us?
Katrina: Can I bring my book?
Dib: Sigh Sure.
Katrina: Smile ^.^ Okay.
Dib, Galadriel, Gyok, Mia, and Katrina set off towards the area Zim led the other children, where he's having them build his fortress

End of Scene 3
A/N: Here's a medium chapter to offset the short and long chapter I all ready have, so it's about equivalent to 2 scenes I would have written normally ... sorry, thinking quantity-over-quality. The rest of the scenes will be long. I may also, as far as length go, make this something like an 'hour-long' or 'two-part' episode. I dunno, I'm obsessed with this idea I have of making it like the TV series. This obsession cannot be healthy.
Obviously, not ALL of the submitted characters I got were in the first group, maybe they had their reasons to go with the enormous group of kids, I'm not saying everyone that's not with Dib's lil' group now is weak- minded. And it's safe to say that everyone who's submitted will probably wind up in Dib's group. For those of you who have read the Lord of the Flies, you may notice some of the hints to that that I've cleverly (or accidentally) placed in the story so far.
Still taking characters, but getting close to a point-of-no-return, and I'll probably stop accepting them after the next chapter.
