Zim Fic 103a/b Lord of the Worm-Babies
A/N:
Scene 8
Fade in
Inside Zim's grand mud-palace built and half-finished by his mindless slaves, Zim stands defeated from single combat with Dib. He is in the middle of a tightening circle of Dib, Mia, Gyok, Galadriel, and Jessie
Dib: Tightening grip on sword This is IT Zim. We're going to ... hurt you into submission ... and then tie you and send you off to a government-lab- place.
Zim: Looks more than a little distressed. For the first time since he first began his mission, he felt truly threatened You just TALK earth- stink. You and your little ... group ... can't do anything to me! I am ZIM!! OBEY MY FIST! Zim shakes his squeezy fist at Dib
Dib: Pokes Zim in the organs with the tip of his sword That's not going to work on ANYONE here, Zim. We're all too smart for you.
Zim: Holds conch up Well, I always have this...
Gyok: He controls the other kids with the conch! Stop him!
Dib: Huh?
Mia and Galadriel realize what Gyok means, and lunge for Zim, Mia, for the conch, Galadriel, for Zim's head
Zim gets off a blast with the conch before Mia can knock it from his hands, and Galadriel floors him with a blow to the back of his head ... (A/N: Witty exit remarks replace by massive head trauma and hemorrhaging ^^)
Almost immediately, the hut is surrounded by Zim's mindless brain-slaves
Brain-Slaves: You call us master ... we obey. Give us a command! We obey.
The brain-slaves are oblivious to the fact that Zim is unconscious
Dib: We've done all we can here... we should go back now.
Galadriel: What about Zim? We can't just leave him here to continue controlling these kids!
Gyok: We can make it so he can't control them ... take the conch! Let me study it!
Mia: How do we know YOU wouldn't use its power?
Gyok: C'mon! Just LOOK at me.
Dib, Mia, Galadriel, and Jessie stare at him intently
Jessie: After a lengthy pause What is it about staring at you is supposed to convince us to believe you?
Galadriel: Yeah, I saw you using that flashy-thing to brainwash your lizard or something.
Gyok: Think about what you're saying! We are so few! We HAVE to trust each other!
Dib: You guys both make good arguments...
Mia: If WE can control all the kids, at least we can make them do all the things they're too stupid to do on their own.
Jessie: But the allure of power is too great! We should HIDE the conch!
Galadriel: Yes. It's too dangerous. We can't leave it with Zim, and we can't take it ourselves.
Dib: I think I see a way out of this dilemma ... Dib raises his wooden sword and brings it down on the conch, chattering it
Gyok and Mia gape, Jessie and Galadriel smile
Gyok: Sighs I'll never know what was causing those kids to follow Zim's command. I could have found a way to COUNTERACT its effect.
Mia: What a waste.
Two figures push through the crowd, and rush to Zim, who is still lying on the ground, unconscious
Margaret: Zim! Zim are you all right?
Janella: Glaring at Dib What have you done to our Zim?
Dib: Startled You aren't under his control ... and you're on HIS side?
Each member individually expressed shock
Mia: Eh?
Gyok: Wha-?
Galadriel: Huh?
Jessie: Ew.
Margaret: Shaking Zim, notices the huge bruise on his head Waaah! Looking straight at Dib You HIT him! You SAVAGES! What do you think you're doing, running around with your sticks and hitting people in the middle of the night?!
Dib: Anger flaring Zim's not a PEOPLE - person ... he's an ALIEN!! He wants to CONQUER earth!
Margaret and Janella focus on the Dib-group, and temporarily forget Zim in their anger
Janella: So? He's not harming anyone here. At least when everyone was under his control they weren't PICKING on anyone. You REJECTS banded together when you weren't being picked on, and in turn, became the BULLIES!
Dib: Eyes widen I-I- uhhhh ... but ...
The Dib-group looks down in shame
Zim regains consciousness, looks up, and sees everyone there. Blinking stupidly for a few seconds, he realizes the conch was shattered, uses an alien device from his I.D. Pak to scan the shards, and the device spits out a second conch, identical to the first
Zim: Leaping to his feet, holding the conch high over his head GO MY MINIONS! Attack! Destroy the Dib!! Render them to filthy bits; the Dib and all his little ... worm-friends.
There is a great pause as silence washes over the group, and Zim's voice echoes
Suddenly the conch-slaves surge forward, and the Dib-group, along with Margaret and Janella, are trapped against the far wall of the giant hut
Zim: Standing at the front of the mob of seething children Soooo ... DIB! The tables have ... TURNED!
The roof breaks overhead and Jazz falls through, in the middle of the Dib- group. They surround her, and Dib steps forward with sword and squeezy fist
Dib: Defiantly Sooooo ... ZIM! The tables have turned ... AGAIN! We have your SISTER! Let us go and maybe we won't turn her in!
Zim: Considers for a second You know, I don't think I care much for my gene-sister Jazz ... and certainly not if it gives me an excuse to destroy you AND her.
Jazz: Outraged ZIM! When I get free, it'll be your DOOM! DOOM, you hear me ... DO~OM!!
Margaret: But Zim! We were on YOUR side!
Janella: We defended you when they were going to DESTROY you!
Zim: Well, that all ... well ... and nice, but you see, I have a problem repaying kindness ... I don't like to. Grins evilly I have plenty of minions, and I CAN control them.
Zim raise hand to give the signal, but before he does, Jazz lets out a scream of feral rage and charges passed the Dib-group and tackles Zim
Jazz: Get out! Get out while you CAN! Starts punching Zim
The Dib-Group face the wall start climbing, finding weak places in the straw covering and climbing out
Zim: Cringing and screaming HELP me you fools! Get her off me!
The mass of conch-slaves moves forward and seizes Jazz. Jazz puts up a valiant struggle, knocking children into the walls. She extends her spider- legs and knocks out a number of kids, but they eventually overwhelm her, piling on her like so many hideous ... sausage-links
The camera angle changes to outside, the Dib-group scrambles out of the holes in the walls and roof, and leap to the ground. As they flee the uber- hut, they hear Jazz's screams behind them. Lightning flashes and thunder booms, and it starts poring. A couple of huts collapse under the simple rain, some from just the thunder
The Dib-group disappear into the forest
