Shadowed
Chapter 5-Break In
Zim tossed open the door to his base and slammed it shut.
He dragged himself down to his lab and continued through the rubble, still searching for
something to fix GIR with.
He picked up a screwdriver and tightened the loose bolts in Gir's head. He failed again.
Through his rage, he flinged the little robot into the wall and stared at it.
Gir's eyes glared bright red and he hopped up and looked around as his eyes turned blue again, "OOOOH! Look it all the toys! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Gir jumped into the garbage, grabbed two parts of Zim's computer, and started pretending as though they were dolls, smashing them together, "EEEEEE HEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEE!
"Gir?" Zim asked.
"LOOKY!!!" Gir squeaked.
"GIR!" Zim yelled.
"Wha-?" Gir said in confusion.
"Can't you see what has happened?" Zim questioned.
"Santa came!" Gir answered.
"NO! That retched human and his stink friend destroyed MY base!" Zim screamed.
"So? He left presents!" Gir continued to smash the pieces together.
Zim grabbed the pieces," No Gir, not presents. This, Gir, is a piece of the base that the human tore off. " Zim said calmly.
"Yeah, so?"Gir said.
Zim growled," We must find and destroy them! Understand?" "I do." Gir squeaked.
"You don't really, do you?" Zim asked.
"Yes.wait a minute.no." Gir said in confusion.
Zim shook his head, "Gir, stay here. Why don't you clean up this.horrible filth place while I'm gone."
"Okie-dokie!" Gir ran off.
Zim threw on his disguise and headed towards Dib's house.
He peered into the window and looked about the lit up living room.
Dib and Uko were sitting on the couch, talking about.something.
Zim couldn't hear, but saw Uko giggling.
He pulled out one of the one usable laser guns he had found and aimed into the window.
Then he glanced over to the floor.
There, lying on the floor drawing and coloring pictures, was Gaz.
"Dammit. I can't annihilate this house with her in it!" Zim said to himself. He watched inside, almost stalkingly, then saw Dib say something to Gaz and saw him and Uko get up and walk towards the door.
Zim ducked in the bushes.
Dib and Uko walked through the doorway talking about useless information Zim didn't care to listen to. He got up and before he went to follow them, he went over to the house door and knocked.
He missed her a little and he was a bit hungry, considering he had no food to eat at his base.
Gaz got up and opened the door. "Hello, Gaz." Zim said. "Zi-what are you doing here and what happened to your disguise?" "I, um-it got all scratched."
"Dib'll be back in a few minutes, you know." Gaz reminded. "I-I know, I just.where is the human going?"
"To walk Uko home. Why? Are you going to hunt him down or something?" Gaz asked jokingly.
"No! Of course not..I , um, can I come in?" Zim nervously asked her. "Is that a gun behind your back?" she questioned him.
He tossed the gun into the bushes, "N-No! So can I come in?"
"I, I suppose so." Gaz opened the door a little more, allowing Zim to enter.
Gaz went into the kitchen and opened the fridge, "Are you hungry?" she asked, as if she knew what Zim was thinking.
"Um, yes." Zim replied, not wanting to make it seem like he was helpless.
Gaz pulled out two sodas and some leftover pizza and waltzed into the living room, "I thought so." She handed him a soda and sat next to him on the couch, "So why are you here?"
"I was, uh, just in the neighborhood, and I, um, thought I'd drop by and, uh, see how you were doing." He tried to convince.
"Right after Dib had just left? C'mon, Zim, I'm not THAT stupid."
"Well, I-" Zim started, "No, I just, I kinda wanted to see you again. Besides, the Dib worm ruined all of the food I could actually consume."
"So you were hungry. I sort of figured that." Gaz laughed a little.
"I, uh-" Zim looked a bit embarrassed.
"It's okay, Zim. Don't worry about it." She shifted the pizza box towards him, "Here, it isn't very nutritious, but it's food."
Zim looked over to the pizza, then to Gaz, and carefully picked up a slice and took a bite.
It wasn't to bad, Zim sort of liked it.
"Well, is it anything like your 'irken food?'" she asked.
Zim nodded, "It's.okay."
Gaz slightly smiled, "Good."
The doorknob started to move and Gaz turned her attention to the hatchway.
She grabbed Zim's arm and started to pull him up the stairs.
She pushed him into her room, "Get out of here!"
Zim nodded.
Gaz ran down the steps and back into the living room.
"Where'd you go?" Dib asked her, coming out of the kitchen with a handful of crackers.
"Upstairs." She replied.
"Who were you talking to?" he questioned her.
"No one, I just thought I heard something." She continued to draw and color as before.
Dib shook his head, "Whatever."
~***~
Zim climbed down the side of the house, grabbed his gun from the bushes, and ran in the direction he saw Uko and Dib going, 'I'm never gonna find her. There's over a thousand houses on this street.' He thought.
Something on the ground caught his eye.
It was cookie crumbs, and cookies were Uko's favorite, considering on what she had told the Dib creature.
"This just might work." Zim said to himself, following the particles.
When Zim finally ran out of crumbs and out of air, he came to the culdisack where his house lied.
Two houses down from his house was where the cookies ended, and at a sky blue house with two gray, pointy-like roofs and enormous windows tinted so darkly, you couldn't see inside.
Zim grinned and went home to prepare.
Midnight.
Zim had been watching over the house as some sort of determined demon-type figure, ste on destruction of the beings inside.
He quickly left the house after Gir fell asleep and snuck over.
He kicked open the door.
Uko was reading a comic book and looked up at the door, "Zim?"
He didn't respond, he only pulled out a laser gun and pointed it at her.
She hopped up and tried to run away.
Zim shot at her, barely missing.
The laser had paralyzed her right arm.
Zim jumped over to the couch and Uko ran up the stairs and locked herself in her room.
Zim intendively shot open every door her came to.
Uko leaned against her door, panting, until she saw a baseball bat.
He shot at her door, causing Uko to scream.
Zim knocked the entry open and Uko skidded over and grabbed the bat, holding it up as a weapon.
Zim laughed at her, "Oh, really, Uko, think. Do you actually believe that human play thing can hurt m-"
She swung the bat, hitting his jaw hard enough to make it bleed.
Zim narrowed his eyes, "Okay, stink thing, that's it! No one hits Zim and gets away with it!"
Zim walked closer to her and pulled the bat from her hand, throwing it into the side of her room.
He pounced on her, sending her flying to the floor.
Pinning her down, he said "Today, you die, you lying, putrid bitch!"
Uko tried to escape, but to no avail, she kicked him hard in the, ahem.
Zim released her and fell to his knees.
Uko got up and grabbed the gun from him, holding it to his head, "Do you surrender?"
Zim raised his hands up in abdication.
Uko smiled and put the gun to her side.
Zim kicked her legs, pulled her down and retrieved the gun.
"And NO ONE makes Zim surrender!" Zim held the gun to her head.
"Please don't kill me, Zim! I didn't do anything to you!" she begged.
He spit in her face, "You lie! YOU LIE! You wrecked my base, ruined my ship, and nearly diffused my robot slave, horrible wench!"
"I DID NOT!" she screeched.
"LIAR! Admit it or I'll kill you!" Zim threatened.
"Okay! Okay. Dib was mad because you were with Gaz, so I thought of a revenge plan to get back at you. I told him we should destroy your so called 'base' but I was only kidding. He wasn't, so I thought it'd be fun, wrecking your house and all. Then things got a little out of control and we started tipping things over, snapping pictures, and hitting things with bats and stuff, okay! I didn't mean for that bad of damage to happen and I'm sorry, Zim! S-O-R-R-Y! Sorry, alright?"
Zim put on a sympathetic look, "Aw, it's okay, Uko."
"You said if I told you the truth, you'd let me go, right?" she asked with tear filled eyes.
"I did say that, didn't I?" Zim reminded himself, lowering the gun.
Uko sighed in relief.
Zim pointed the gun back to her forehead, "I'm gonna kill you anyway!"
Uko frowned and slapped the gun from his hand, then ran for the door.
Zim grabbed the bat and swung it into her head.
She fell to the floor and tried to get up, but Zim had grabbed her.
He walked with her over his head, and tossed her out of the window.
