Chapter 5
Okay, here goes nuttin'! .
The beings moved quickly, they wanted to get done with the primary experiments before their subjects woke up. It would be less stressful for them and the subjects that way. The beings had been searching for a human, and what they found alongside the human astounded them. It looked like a short version of the irkans that took over their home planet. If it truly was an irkan, they would have their revenge.
Dib slowly gained consciousness. He realized he couldn't move, due to the metal clasps around his wrists and ankles. When he opened his eyes, he knew he was missing his glasses because everything around him was blurry. He could barely make out the tall blue creatures moving about around him. Dib groaned and shook his head trying to think clearly. The blue creatures saw this and moved towards him. He could see them better now. They had large green eyes like emeralds, which stared at him in awe and curiosity. Dib had a feeling these were the types of peaceful learner aliens he had hoped for before Zim came.
"He-hello.?", Dib said cautiously, "If you can understand me, can I have my glasses back?"
The aliens looked at each other and nodded. One branched off from the group and came back with Dib's glasses. He placed them on Dib's face.
"Thank you." Dib said with more confidence. He looked at the aliens, and saw they all wore the same dark green robes with only slightly different white border patterns. Their skin was a gray-blue color, and smooth in appearance. He looked around at his surroundings. He was in a large plain white room filled with the tall aliens and silver lab equipment. Dib spoke up to break the awkward silence that surrounded him. "Umm, ya, I hate not being able to see clearly.oh, cutting to the chase, can I ask why I'm here?"
One of the blue creatures moved gracefully forward, he had on a purple robe with an elaborate white border pattern. "We are altorons. We seek knowledge. We apologize for the restraints but we didn't know how calm you would be when you regained consienseness."
Dib gave a relieved half smile. "It's all right, I promise that I won't do anything crazy if you get the restraints off. You can zap me with that tazer if I do." Dib said both hopefully and cautiously while glancing at a guard with the tazer.
The altorons knew they had the upper hand, and so unstraped him from the table. Dib sat up and rubbed his head, he had had quite a fall; it was then that Dib noticed Zim on the table next to him. He was still out and had many guards posted around him.
"What do you know of this creature?" The lead altoron asked indicating Zim.
"That's Zim, he is an irkan trying to conquer Earth."
At the word 'irkan' the altorons started to mumble amongst themselves. Dib put a questioning look upon his face.
As if to answer him, the lead altoron said, "We know of the irkan race, they are the people who destroyed our planet and almost put us into extinction. We shall destroy this one to install revenge when he awakes."
It was as if all Dib's prayers had been answered. He could finally learn about some peaceful aliens AND was going to get rid of Zim, all at the same time!
Zim all of a sudden opened his eyes and started screaming, "Ahhhhhhh!!!" He struggled against his restraints in vain.
"What IS this? Let me go! What are you plotting?!" Zim blurted.
The altorons angrily turned towards Zim and their leader started to speak.
"You and your people have taken away our home and families. We here are the only altorons left thanks to the irkan race!"
"Altorons?" Zim questioned, "I thought we destroyed all of you."
"You obviously didn't." snapped back the leader, "Luckily my ship escaped before the cannon-sweep was complete. Since then, we have been searching for a new planet to call our home."
"Have you found one?" Dib asked.
"Yes," answered the leader. " Thanks to this magic that I hold around my neck." Everyone's eyes then went to the fuchsia glowing sphere that dangled on a thin gold chain around the leader's neck. "This sphere holds the knowledge needed for the survival of my people. It holds a magic that tells how the altoron planet is doing. When the irkans destroyed our planet, the sphere's light went out. We have since then, been wondering through the galaxy, and when we passed this planet called earth, the sphere lit up once again. It tells me that earth will be quite compatible once we change the plant life from those that supply oxygen to those that supply carbon dioxide."
"Wait! You can't do that!" Dib yelled, "That would kill all the humans!"
"I'm sorry human, but do not blame us, blame the irkan empire for destroying our planet in the first place."
"Wait a sec." Dib broke in, "You are breathing the same air I am know, which has very little carbon dioxide, why do you need so much carbon dioxide on earth?"
"To reproduce." The leader answered bluntly, "If we don't have enough it just won't work."
"I won't let you do this!" Dib said standing up, "I'm sorry if the irkans did destroy your planet but this planet is rightfully for the human race!"
The altoron leader sighed, "I knew you wouldn't understand. Restrain him."
Four guards tackled Dib and handcuffed his hands behind his back.
"Do the same to the irkan." said the leader with hatred in his voice. "We shall figure out what to do with them later, for now put them both in the holding cell."
The guards handcuffed Zim and led both out of the white room and into a dark metallic hallway. At the end of the hallway they pushed them into a small cell.
Dib whipped around to face Zim after the guards had released their hold.
"It's always YOUR fault isn't it?" Dib said approaching zim, "If my hands weren't behind my back I would strangle you!"
"As long as the humans are destroyed, I will have my victory." Zim responded calmly.
"They are going to KILL you!"
"I know, but as long as your people and especially YOU are killed it will be worth it."
"You know what? This is stupid. Lets find a way out of here instead of bickering like 2 year-olds."
Zim thought about that for a moment, he would like to have the credit for the destruction of the earth himself, so. "For once I must agree will you human," His eyes squinted together in focus, "Lets get out of here."
Okay, there is chapter 5 for ya. I really don't know what else to say except: monkeys make good Prozac! Oh yeah! Anyway, please R&R!
