Chapter 8-Yay! I am motivated enough to type today, thanks to the wonderful
reviews I got! They make me so happy!
`````````` Zim stared up at the wall, trying to weaken the restraints around his wrists, but he had no luck. The altorons had been trying electric shock and pressure points to weaken him, and now they were really getting tired of his silence.
"Talk, you irkan scum! You're only hurting yourself by doing this." A guard said in a harsh, raspy voice. Zim just turned and glared at the altoron with pure hatred gleaming through his squinted red eyes. He may have looked tough, but inside he was getting more and more afraid and squirmy at the thoughts of what they might do to him.
One of his fears was confirmed. One guard came into view holding a thin, wicked looking knife. The guard who had spoken earlier took it and put it right above one of Zim's fingers.
"Okay irkan, either you tell us what you know, or we cut off one finger for every moment of silence."
Zim's eyes widened in horror and he bit his lip in deep thought. 'This can't be happening!' He thought. He knew he had to prove he was true irkan invader material, so he kept quiet. The blade came closer, and closer. The guard started to cut at Zim's flesh.
Thump! A noise was made in the shadows. The guard holding the knife looked up to see what had made the noise only to have his searching eyes meet a fist. This guard's thump then matched the first.
"That's the last one," Dib said while rubbing his hand. He turned to face Zim. "Miss me?"
Zim grumbled under his breath then finally looked up, "Fine, fine, whatever. Now are you going to get me out of this or are you just going to stand there gloating like the incompetent worm-baby you are?"
The smile faded off Dib's face. "Okay, okay.but the only reason I'm helping you is because your robot came through and gave me my backpack."
As if on cue the insane robot toddled in while shocking himself with a guard's tazer he found, laughing all the while.
Dib fiddled with the control panel in the room until one of the buttons he pushed undid the restraints Zim had on. This success, of course, was only after Dib "accidentally" shocked, poured trash on, and vibrated Zim to make Zim more and more angry. Dib was trying to stifle his laughter when Zim got off the table smelly and smoking, rage plastered on his face.
"You miserable creature! If you hadn't have just saved me I would strangle you right now!"
"You're welcome." Dib calmly responded. "Now, we have to find a way off this ship and back to earth. We have to find the altorons who are trying to put their own plant life on earth and destroy man-kind!"
"You say that like it's a bad thing. Why do you think I would EVER care about saving EARTH?"
"Because" Dib said slyly, "YOU want to destroy it, right?"
"Grrrrr.Fine! But I'm only helping you because I have a score to settle with these disgusting altorons." Zim said while kicking one unconcience guard in the gut. "Gir! Stop your foolishness and lets get to the altoron control room. We have some NEW stink beasts to destroy!"
"Yay!!!! Doom!!!!" Gir yelled, flinging the tazer in the air and hitting Dib in the head.
"Hey! Your stupid robot is.REALLY stupid Zim!"
"You're the one who got hit." Zim responded, walking out the door and heading down the dark hallway.
"So.what exactly is your plan when we get to the control room?" dib asked while following Zim down the hall.
"I will tell you my brilliant plan, yes, just to show you my amazing brilliance as ZIM!"
Dib rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah.just go on."
"You and Gir will distract the altorons while I make my way over to the control panel and set all altoron spacecraft on self destruct, including the spacecraft carrying those pesky weeds of theirs."
"Why do Gir and I have to distract them?"
"Because, Gir is naturally distracting, as I should know, and you have your backpack to defend yourself. Mine is still disabled thanks to you!"
"Whatever, lets just hurry because I don't want those ships to get to close to earth when they blow up."
Zim smiled at the thought, and decided to take his time.
Dib looked back at Zim and mumbled, "I hate you."
```````` Whoo-hoo! That's Chapter 8 for yous guys. Review if you like and want more!
