Zim Fic 103a/b Lord of the Worm-Babies
Intermission
A/N: At this point, the length of this fan fic episode exceeds that of all the rest of the series so far. It will be as though it were an 'hour' episode, broken into 2 'half-hour' parts. (All this half-episode/ full episode is based on the amount that is in a couple of the scripts that I've read. I feel silly, basing everything on episode length ... ah well.
I had this neat idea for a writing project some time ago, the beginning of the summer, in fact. Since Invader Zim had been cancelled, I thought it would be a neat idea to try and 'continue' the series on my own, from my own imagination, using the aired episodes as a guideline, and taking the series from there. A pretty tall order, and quite taxing on the imagination, I can tell you.
One of my primary goals is to continue the series' randomness without straying too far from what we've all seen. (i.e. all this romance and angst BULL). Don't get me wrong, some of the romance/angst fics are okay, and some are quite well written, and I've read a number of them, but they just don't fit in the series.
If there's anyone out there who'd like to help write the 'series' with Lord Tim and I, feel free to e-mail me some example, I'm really a stickler for making the episodes believable as far as making them like the TV series, and I hope to turn them into a comic eventually, so writing them in script- form is a must.
Scene 6
Fade in
The sun is beginning to set, beautiful and slow, into the ocean. It's just pretty, all the sun on the sparkly water ... it's just pretty ^^
Silhouette of the six of them performing Kendo moves in time with each other, an achievement that's taken all the afternoon. One by one, each collapses, heaving, their upper arms in pain - yes, pain ... those overhead swings are killer
Finally, Galadriel is the only one standing, and though she realizes this, she continues, showing off just how much she can do. After a bit, while the others squirm and twitch on the ground, she enters a strange sword-ballet, slashing and dodging, and parrying an invisible opponent. It looks just neat
Galadriel: Coming to a stop to look at the rest, sprawled painfully on the sand What's wrong with you all?
Dib: So ... much ... PAIN ... upper arms ... falling off ...
Mia: My arms hurt in a way I never knew was possible...
Gyok: Why did I agree to this?
Frazier: The moose ... it calls to me ... it calls me to the light ...
Jessie: You guys got off lucky, I've been doing this all day...
Galadriel finishes her practice and does a mock
Galadriel: Jessie! You ASKED me to teach you!
Jessie: That was before I realized it was going to be hard ... and hurt.
Galadriel: Weaklings! The lot of you! I could easily ...
A lone figure stumbles down the beach towards them, indistinguishable because the sun is behind him
Shadowed Figure: That devil soup-woman ...
Lucy and Katrina return - from the other direction. They see the shadowed form stumbling towards them - they drop what they were carrying and run towards him
Lucy and Katrina: Nabeshin!
Nabeshin comes into view, barely visible in the glare of the setting sun, and then collapses
Lucy and Katrina: NABESHIN!!!
Lucy and Katrina reach Nabeshin after he collapses
Lucy: Katrina! Quick! Run and get my first aid kit! He's wounded!
Katrina runs to the cave and back with the first-aid kit
Lucy: We need to move him into the cave! Everyone! Help me move him into the cave!
Dib, an Mia, and the others helped, moved Nabeshin onto a bed near the mouth of the cave
Katrina: What's wrong with him.
Lucy: He fainted ... it looks like from dehydration and heat stroke. I need lots of cold water.
Someone went outside to get the water she asked for
Nabeshin: Uh ... on the hill ... monster ... it was ... horrible ... the soooooooup ...
Lucy: Shhh. Quiet Nabeshin, you need to rest.
Katrina: Did you hear that? He said it was a monster!
Gyok: On top of the hill? But, monster SOUP?
Mia: A monster CAN of soup?
Gyok: Oh, yeah, there's the hill in the middle of the island.
Dib: Whatever it is, it's probably Zim's doing ... let's go beat him up or something.
Galadriel: Oooo ... Dib's getting vicious...
Mia: Defensively I think it's cute when he gets vicious!
Galadriel: I didn't say it wasn't...
Dib: What are you two TALKING about?
Galadriel: Kendo practice.
Mia: You, I mean ... you destroying Zim...
Galadriel: ... with wooden swords.
Dib: Now THERE's an idea! We can sneak over to that ... place and beat him with wooden swords!
Lucy: Looks angrily over her shoulder Well, I'M not going. You're more worried about getting revenge than making Nabeshin's okay!
Dib: Looks down, ashamed ... briefly Okay ... so who WILL help me?
Frazier returns with the cool water for Nabeshin. Gyok, Galadriel, Jessie, and Mia raise their hands. Frazier gives Lucy the water and raises his hand awkwardly
Dib: OH! Oh ... well someone's going to have to stay here with Lucy, Katrina and Nabeshin.
Katrina: We'll be fine, Evil look in her eye hey, can someone pass me my poetry book?
Dib: Grabs book and is startled at how heavy it is JEEZ! This book's really heavy!
Dib hands the book to Katrina, who holds it easily
Katrina: Holding the book easily under one arm, flashes a V-sign with her fingers That's 'cause it's so full of mercy!
The others look at her strangely, shrug and nobody bothers asking
Dib: All right, well, let's go then. Grabs a wooden sword, groans, and drops it again Well, maybe after I get a chance to rest my arms. His arms flop around like noodles
Galadriel: Heh. Weakling.
Neither Frazier, Gyok, Jessie, or Mia can hold a sword either
Galadriel: Well, maybe we should wait ... a little while.
Lucy: And EVERYONE drink PLENTY of WATER!
Dib: But, it's night outside!
Lucy: I SAID DRINK WATER!! Or end up like Nabeshin!
Nabeshin: Smiles weakly from the floor and jerks a thumb at himself I'm ... Nabeshin.
Lucy: Shhhh. I said QUIET Nabeshin! You need REST!
Dib and the others except Katrina and Frazier and Nabeshin, of course, slink out of the cave, to their fire in front of the cave, on the beach
Dib: It's obvious that Zim is behind this. We need to go, and go soon. We need to stop him before he gets anyone hurt ... for Nabeshin's, and EVERYONE's sake.
There was a murmur of agreement that passed through all of them
Galadriel: We'll have to wait some time, for all of you who are having trouble lifting anything with your WEAK muscles, but we can at least start over towards their side of the island.
Again, unanimous agreement from the small band
Dib: Remember, Zim's the only one we're after. Everyone watch out though, if anyone else sees us, they might warn Zim.
Mia: We should go now, if we want to get there before it gets pitch-black.
Dib: Good idea.
Gyok: I'll go grab the swords. Runs to the cave, and back, with an armful of their carved wooden swords
Dib: Here, everyone take one. Looks up at the sky Today, Zim, you get your comeuppance.
Everyone 'sheaths' their sword, and they rise, and vanish into the vegetation of the jungle. Frazier emerges from the cave, bearing his own wooden sword
Frazier: Hullo? Where'd they go? Looks down Awww ... they left without me. Surge of confidence Well, I'll just have to go on my own and find them, I will!
Frazier disappears into the foliage as well, red hair and all
Camera follows Frazier, as he tramps through the foliage, holding his sword at his side, in 'ninja-run' fashion (you'd understand if you've ever played Bushido Blade ^^)
Frazier is very obviously (but obliviously) going in the wrong direction. After some time, he arrives on the top of a hill, one in the very center of the hill. He looks around
Frazier: Looking around Well, at least from here I can see where I'm going...
Spooky Voice: Yooooooouuuuuu! I'm gonna get yoooooouuuuu!
Frazier: Wha!! A spooky voice! Ahhhhh!!
Spooky Voice: AHHHHHHHH!!!
Frazier and Spooky Voice: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Frazier and Spooky Voice: ...
Frazier and Spooky Voice: Hey ... are you ...
Frazier and Spooky Voice: No ... you talk first.
Frazier: I'm from down there. Are you a monster?
Spooky Voice: A MONSTER! AHH! Where?
Frazier: Could you step out from behind the big tree that looks like a monster please?
The owner of the spooky voice steps out from behind a big tree that looks like a monster. It is a very gaunt-looking man, dressed in tattered pilot's garb
Pilot: Hiya there. I had to eject from my plane when I saw you kids on the island and accidentally hit the button to dump my jet's fuel.
Frazier: We were sent here for Outdoor Skool, 'Social Survival Testing'. My name's Frazier.
Pilot: Hi Frazier ... I'm uhhh ... Pilot-guy.
Frazier: (^^) Hiya Pilot-guy. Heyyy ... I just thought of something. If you're the one who was up on this hill, then there's no monster! Turns and starts running down the hill
Pilot-guy: Wait! There is a monster! A massive drop of saliva falls on the pilot's shoulder
The pilot turns around and says 'oh dookie' - then there's screaming
Angle shows Frazier running towards camera ... lightning in the background, drowning out pilot-guy's screams
The sky (at night) has clouded over, and there is thunder and lightning
Fade out
End of Scene 6
A/N: For those of you who have read the Lord of the Flies, don't spoil it for anyone if you recognize this!
I ended it on a cliffhanger on purpose ... the original Lord of the Flies ended a chapter on something like this as well ... I think ... I haven't actually read it in a while ...
Be sure to read and review Lord Timothy's newest Zim fic, Episode 104 The Sum of All Numbers!!
