Chapter 12: I am motivated enough to type today! Only one more chapter to
go after this one. Sort of a bittersweet thing, actually.-X-KAT
```````` Zim could hear the tall altoron running behind him, cursing in his native tongue as he ran. Zim glanced at Gir who was gleefully running beside him, and he got an idea. A wonderfully AMAZING idea.from ZIM!
"Gir!" Zim yelled, "I need you to take me to Dib as fast as you can, NOW!"
"O-key Do-key!" It squealed, while pushing himself under Zim and blasting off with his back jets.directly toward the angry killer Pazlude.
'This irkan is crazy' Pazlude thought to himself, steadying the gun and taking aim. But the robot was faster then he expected and flew right past him before he could get a good shot.
"Pathetically slow creature, how could this species be so tall and so dumb at the same time?" Zim said out loud to himself before Gir took him quickly around the corner. The last thing Zim saw was Pazlude throwing his gun to the ground and yelling loudly.
"Alright Gir, find the Dib human." Zim said, now much more confident then before. ````````````` Dib had stopped running once he noticed that Pazlude wasn't chasing him, but he still kept a very weary eye on his surroundings.
"I hope Zim didn't get himself killed." Dib muttered, then added after he realized what he had said; "Because I need that robot of his to get out of here."
He moved on, glancing nervously from side to side. Then he heard something. This was not good, what could it be?! He started to get frantic once he heard it coming closer.
"Aghh! Where to hide?! Where to hide!!"
Dib simply chose to get into a hunched position on the floor. The noise was loud now. He looked at the hallway where he was sure it would come from at any moment. He closed his eyes, awaiting his doom. WOOSH! He felt something grab his trenchcoat and a weightlessness under his feet. He opened his eyes. He was flying through the air! Then he looked up at the thing holding him.
"Zim!?" Dib blurted in an utter stupor.
"Of course, stinking human. We have to get off this filthy ship, don't we?"
"Well duh." Dib said, still hanging from Gir who was apparently heading for a wall. "But how?"
"You still have that inferior shield thingy on your backpack, don't you?"
"Yes." Dib said He had nearly forgotten all about his high tech backpack. Now he was getting worried about the quickly approaching wall.
"Well, turn it on, NOW!" Zim commanded.
See that this was no time to argue, Dib complied right before Gir hit the wall. They went through the strange metal of the wall, with a transparent blue shield around all of them. They were in space.
"Oh my God!" Dib yelled, unable to say anything more.
"The almighty Zim always has a plan, and a truly brilliant one at that. Gir will soon take us to earth and I can complete my mission off overtaking it."
"One problem." Dib said, "You would have no reason to take it over if the altorons have already killed everything on it and taken it over themselves. We need to deal with the small ships that are taking the plants to earth right now while cloaked. What do we do?"
"Simple, stupid earth larvae. All you have to do is blast them with your backpack's laser. Dib, I would have thought you could at least have figured THAT out!"
"Hmph." Dib responded while activating his heat detecting eyepiece and laser gun from his pack.
"Lucky my shield is one way, only blocking the outside environment, not the out side environment from us, or my laser beam would ricochet back and kill me."
Zim smiled at the thought. Dib saw him.
"I saw that! It's not funny, because without me, the shield would give out and you would die to!" Dib yelled, then went to his work of locating the ships and blowing them up. He blasted a few that were near him, then told Gir to start going around the earth to get all of them. One by one, all the ships with their plants of doom were destroyed. But somehow, Dib felt this was all too easy. They approached the last ship, Dib readied his aim. Then the unthinkable happened; the ship's tractor beam started pulling them in, and Dib's laser ran out of energy(again). Dib then knew that his feeling had been right.- It had been too easy, but that was about to change.
