Shadowed
Ch.4-Send away
Zim looked out of the half broken window and watched as Gaz disappeared, leaving him
alone.
Zim got up and went outside to follow her, not even caring to put on his disguise.
Gaz continued home, unaware of Zim behind her.
Then, Gaz fell over and Zim thought it was from the heat.
It was quite hot out today.
He ran over and picked her up, bringing her back to his lab.
She felt awfully cold for fainting, and her heart kept stopping every now and then.
But then it it hit him, his laboratory was annihilated, there was nothing down there unless
he were to hotwire the computyer system to run a scan on Gaz.
It probibly wouldn't work, but he had to try.
Zim laid Gaz upon the seat of the voot runner and crawed behind the computer.
He picked up a few wires and began to work, "Okay, red wire," he said to himself, ", to
blue wire."
The lights in the lab began to flicker.
"Alright then, green wire to yellow wire." the upstairs' electronic equipment turned on.
"Yellow wire to, eh, to blue wire."
"System, engaging, on." the computer said.
"Exellent," Zim crawled out, "Computer, run a scan on Gaz. I want every last detail."
"Processing...Processing....scan complete. Subject: Gaz, infected with virus."
"Virus?! Computer, are there any cures for this 'virus?'"
"Searching...searching...no found cure."
"NO FOUND CURE?!!!!"
"Overload, overload...alert.....system will now shut down."
The lights dimmed.
"Computer?" Zim glanced over at Gaz, "The equipment room! I should have something
there! It's certainly well hidden, hard to find. I'll just get what I need, cure Gaz, then try to
fix Gir if it's possible."
Zim scurried to the equipment room and opened the vault.
It was trashed.
"WHAT! But how could they have found this? Only irkens know where it is! Luck. Pure
luck, and that human will pay, not only will his sister die, but I will make sure to send
him to hell."
Zim looked around and spoted a broken heart monitor.
With a couple of hits it should work just fine.
He snatched it and ran back to Gaz, and hooked her to the monitor.
Her heart was really weak.
Zim figured that it was from the toxins in the house, since dangerous chemicals were
unleashed that Zim was already used to.
He watched her carefully, the monitor redaing that her heartbeat went flat every so often.
But the half damaged monitor was only acting up and Zim had to hit it until it worked
again.
"Gaz, don't die on me. I still need you." He touched the side of her face, " I love you."
The monitor went flat again.
Zim hit repeatively until he checked Gaz's pulse.
Her heart had stopped beating.
"Gaz?" Zim said softly, "I-I'm sorry."
There was a crash from upstairs, "Oh, wonderful. I hope that's the humans here to take
me away and hopefully they'll kill me."
The teleporter flashed and the shadow moved closer.
Sweat rolled down his forehead and he turned away from Gaz to see Uko standing next to
him.
"YOU!" Zim yelled.
"What did you do, Zim? Try to experiment on Gaz?" Uko accused.
"You horrid human! This is all the fault of you and that stink thing DIB!" Zim stood up.
"What'd I do?" Uko asked.
"You recked my labs, destroyed the only property I have, and you killed Gaz!" Zim
yelled.
"I killed Gaz?"
"You ruined my base which contains the only items that may have been able to save her
you little wench!" Zim knocked her into the wall.
Uko pushed him to the floor, " I didn't touch your precious lab!"
"Then how'd you know how to find me?"
"I, the machine was sticking up so I stepped in."
"Uh-huh, yeah,. But that doesn't fix what has happened to Gaz."
"I can help."
"How? She's long gone." Zim sighed.
"Zim, I can help! Will you listen! I CAN HELP! Trust me."
"No! You haven't any idea, human, how medical science works!"
Uko growled, "Will you get this through your thick, arrogant infiltrated skull! What other
choice do you have?"
Zim glared at her, "Fine."
"Stand back." Uko told him.
"Why?" Zim inquired.
"Just do it!" Uko yelled.
Zim backed away from Gaz's side and curiously watched Uko .
She began to glow and the next thing Zim remembered was waking up to see Gaz watching him in the living room of her house.
"Gaz?" Zim said scratchfully.
"Yeah..you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine. just fine." He reached up to touch her face but Gaz stood up and got his disguise out.
"I found this in your lab. Thought you'd need it." She said.
"Thank you ." Zim stood up, " I guess I should go now." He went over to the door.
"Zim? I was thinking and maybe we could go out sometime." Gaz suggested.
"Gaz, I don't-" he stopped, "Okay. I shall see you tomorrow then?"
Gaz nodded.
Zim opened the door and left.
Gaz stared at the door and sighed.
Maybe she'd feel better about Zim in the morning.
