Zim Fic 103a/b Lord of the Worm-Babies

A/N: This chapter is one of my shorter chapters in a while. Now, the story PEAKS!! Read and be AMAZED! Amazed like you have never been AMAZED! ... before. Just read.

Scene 7

Fade in

It's nighttime, and the sky has clouded over, and there is thunder and lightning

Angle shows Frazier running towards camera ... there is lightning in the background, illuminating his running figure

Scene cuts to Dib, Mia, Gyok, Galadriel and Jessie, running stealthily through the jungle (A/N: as you would see in any samurai anime - all hunched over, running, bouncing off things, leaping over other things)

Camera angle changes to above them, showing them running through the trees - Frazier is also running, almost parallel to them now

Lightning flashes overhead, and thunder booms

The group falls in behind Dib, who slows, and stops, holding up a hand

Camera cuts to a view over the heads of the group, looking at Dib

Dib: Squeezy fist This is it! We make our stand against Zim, and take control of the other kids, for the benefit of all!

A small cheer goes up over the group, quietly, so as not to alert anyone zealous enough to patrol for the likes of Zim

The group, now behind Frazier in the parallel paths, reforms, and starts forward again

The camera cuts to Frazier, who pauses for a moment, and makes a squeezy fist

Frazier: Squeezy fist This is it! All I have to do is intercept the guys before they get here, and tell them about Pilot Guy! I can tell them that there's no beast. Closed happy eyes and 'squee' of joy

Frazier opens his eyes, and looks around for a second, disoriented, and then continues down the path, he is now behind Dib's group on the parallel paths

Dib's group reaches the large clearing that they left the other day, now dotted with a number of crude little straw and leaf and mud huts. There was also an enormous one in the middle, that looked to be half-constructed, and there were a number of fires everywhere, and kids cooking various jungle critters over them

The Dib-Group sneaked stealthily-like from behind hut-to-hut, eventually to the largest one, which they assumed to be Zim's

Climbing up the lashed-pole sides, they peaked through the straw matting, and looked for Zim

View shows inside of shelter. Zim is conversing with ... another Irken?

Jazz: Zim, you're doomed. The filth-children will revolt and overthrow you.

Zim: Turns away, pouting They will NOT. You always get like this when my plans are working ... and then you have to be RIGHT! Turning back to her with squeezy fist But this time! This time I will rule the island, and then the WORLD!

Jazz: She puts her disguise back on, and turns to leave Just keep up that delusion, laser-brain, and soon enough you'll wide up face down in ... WATER!

Zim: Shudders We shall SEE Jazz! We shall SEE!!

Jazz waves a hand in dismissal and walks out, simply

Dib motions to the others, and they split up, each heading to the fires, kicking dirt and stuff on them. Dib drops down into the room by himself

Dib: SO Zim, I see you've survived as well. Draws wooden sword

Zim: HUH? Oh, it's the Dib. Stares at wooden sword What's THIS? You threaten me with your filthy earthan WOOD?

Dib opens a small canteen and pours water over the sword, letting it drip off and watched Zim's nervous expression

Dib: This is SPECIAL wood Zim. This wood'll make you HURT!

A/N: DON'T YOU BE THINKING THAT!!!

Zim looks increasingly nervous, not at all like him

Dib: Notices Zim backing away Your Irken friend Jazz put the fear of ... fear of ... STUFF into you? You don't get spooked this easily.

Zim: She's no stinking FRIEND of mine ... she's a gene-sister of mine ... but you needn't bother with that. The island may not have sealed your Doom, but I will!

Zim extends his spider-legs and looms over Dib, who is undaunted

Dib: HA-HA! Leaps forward with blinding speed that he did not possess until today, breaking each of Zim's spider legs at the joints, and appearing behind him, in stance

Zim: Gets up off his face, painfully RRRRRRR!! Filthy ... STINKING ... HU~MAN!!! Monkey-BEAST! WORM ... CHILD!!

Dib: Standing tall Big words for such a little, little alien. You know, I can see why your race favors taller over shorter. The taller ones must be SMARTER than you!

Zim: How DARE you speak of the Almighty Tallest! Zim fetches up a bambooish pole and wields it like a spear I will put you in your PLACE dirt-PIG!! I will take your giant PIG-LIKE head and put it on top of this pole for EVERYone to see! And then they will see me as their true LORD and PIG-MASTER!!!

Dib: Bring it on Zim, bring it on.

Zim and Dib clash several times, Zim at an advantage, briefly, using his rage to gain the upper hand, but he simply can't compare in physical combat without his extended legs

Zim: AYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE!!! Charges, using his energy to whip his body around to drive hard at Dib

Dib: Easily deflecting the blow and landing one on Zim's arm Is that ALL your precious Irken military training has to offer? You're PATHETIC!!

Zim and Dib clash again, and again, Dib gaining the upper hand easily after each parry and attack

Zim: I ... CANNOT ... LOSE! Swings spear down at Dib using the last of his waning strength

Dib blocks the attack, and then strikes the weapon again, and again before Zim recovers, shattering the weak wooden shaft (A/N: there you go, thinking it again)

Zim: Backing up, panting You ... despicable ... HUMAN ... you cannot win.

Slowly, Zim notices that, around him, there are the other members of the Dib-Group, Mia, Gyok, Galadriel, and Jessie, each bearing a sword, surrounding him

Zim: This ... is ... not good.

Fade out

End of Scene 7

A/N: Goodness Gracious! Holy Cosmos! Another cliffhanger! We should have brought our ray guns!

Well, here we are! Everything is poised, ready for the last three characters to be introduced, and the story ... ENDED! Everything from here on in is planned in detail, it's just a matter of writing it. ^^ There will be 3 more chapters, sorry for the unequal time that all the characters get, but they all worked into the story really well, which is a lot better than I originally thought. Readers of Lord of the Flies will have picked up even MORE references to the book, I hope, especially through Zim's dialogue.

I think I may have started an interesting fad in Invader Zim fan fiction. I've noticed lately, that after my couple of stories either based on, or making fun of movies, books and such (also, the works of Lord Timothy) including: Noir (detective movies in general), The Odyssey, The Lord of the Flies, and The Sum of All Fears. There are also great deals of fics that haven't been written yet, just named as being pending by either Lord Tim or me. I'll have to look into it further, but if it IS me who started this new trend, that'll mean I'm a TRENDSETTER! WOOOOO!
