Chapter 5

A New Alie?



Zim's jaw dropped and his eyes widened to two times there size upon seeing Rogue climb out of the pit with her OWN pair of spider legs, hot with anger, and a deathly glare in her eyes. She stood up, stubbling a bit as she re-folded her spider legs. With her black headband gone, her two, long, curly tipped antennas stood straight up out of her hair, which was now messy.

Zim was at a lost of words, he opened his mouth and tryed to speak, but the only words that came out were, "You...your a....IRKIN?!" he studdered. Rogue clenched both of her fist, her body trembling with anger. "You little...." She said unable to finish her sentance. More and more, rage began to build up inside of her. She gave a death glare at Zim that made the old saying, 'If looks can kill.', sound weak.

"THAT'S IT!" Rogue shouted, voice echoing throughout the room. "I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT OF YOU WHEN I'M THROUGH!!!" Zim didn't have enough time to react to what happened next. In a flash, and a burst of rage, Rogue bolted towards Zim drving him into the wall, causing a dent! Zim nearly passed out from the blow as she now had him firmly pinned against the metal wall. Zim tryed to free himself with his own spider legs. "Oh no you don't!" Rogue said only pushing him harder against the wall.

The Irkin soilder had never in his life felt so much pain being brought on his body. He closed his eyes, trying to stand the pain without screaming at what pain he was going through. He managed to open one eye, only to see Rogue's outstreched arm laser, and her powering up.

"Any last words?" She said with a cruel smirk on her face. Zim didn't know what to do, he was out of opitions, and in so much pain, didn't know how much longer he could hold out, and if he didn't think of something in the next five seconds, it was going to be game over.

'This is NOT good!; Zim thought struggling to get free again. 'It's...no use. I can't...break...free.' Zim shut his eyes tight once again, thinking that the last thing he would hear was the blast from Rogue's laser, and her creepy laugh. But, suddenly, he heard a sound her never thought he would be glad to hear.

"GIMME A PIGGYBACK RIDE!!!" Gir ran up and jumped on Rogue's back, causing her to let go of her target. Zim fell to his knees, cluching his chest and breathing hard. He picked himself off the floor with his spider legs. Meanwhile, Gir had Rogue to busy to notice that Zim was recovering. He was hanging off her back, still screaming, "PIGGYBACK! PIGGYBACK!"

"GET OFF OF ME YOU LITTLE RUNT!" Rogue yelled, trying to throw him off. When she finally prided the SIR off her back, she chucked his against the wall, making the little robot's eyes go black. Rogue looked back to where Zim was, but, her was gone. She looked around the darkened room, trying to re-locate her lost target.

'Now, where is he...?' She thought to herself, her eyes scaning the room. Unknown to Rogue, Zim was hanging between the cords on the ceiling, safely hidden in the shadows, or, so he thought. 'I can't believe she's Irkin...' He thought to himself, swallowing hard. 'But why would my kind want to seek and destroy me...?' Suddenly, Zim stared to break out in a sweat, with so many things going through his mind. A bead of sweat dripped off of his forehead and made it's way down to the floor, making a very light, very suddle sound.

Rogue's antennas went up at the sound. She looked up to the ceiling, exsactly were Zim was hiding. "THERE YOU ARE!" She said unfolding her spider legs and launching herself upward, straight at Zim His eyes went wide. 'How could she have heard that?!' He thought, dodging to the right.

The chase suddenly resumed on the celiling. Zim frantically jumped from wire to wire as Rogue followed close behind, both using their spider legs. Rogue's aim seemed to be just as good in the air as it was on the ground. Zim could feel the heat from the blasts zipping by him, just missing his head. 'This is maddness!' Zim thought. 'I can't keep this up! I have to stop her somehow!'

He jumped on a group of wires, he then noticed one of the wires were cut, possibly got hit by one of Rogue's lasers. With no time to lose, he grabbed the live wire and held his position. Rogue noticed, thinking he was finally ready to give up. A smile smeared acrossed her face as she got closer to Zim, who was still holding his ground and this time, he wasn't afraid.

Rogue suddenly made her move, leaping toward Zim, laser ready. In full determination, Zim swerved to the side, just missing Rogue's ruthless but failed attack. Then, cluching the live wire tight, he slamed it directly on Rogue's laser, immedanlly short circuiting it and shocking her.

Rogue was surprised at her target's sudden show of courage. Zim hoped that the shock would at lest knock her out, but it merely stund her for a second.

Suddenly, Rogue's spider legs begain to short out. Losing her balance, she fell to the ground. She struggled to stand, but she only got as far as her knees. Sparks flew out of her laser gem. She cluched it, hung her head and grid her teeth, showing she was in some pain. Her injured arm then begain to go crazy, fingers twiching and trembling. More sparks flew, then all at once, Rogue's whole body flashed white.

Zim shelded his eyes, thinking she was preparing for some new attack. But after the light, nothing happened. Zim opened his eyes to see Rogue still kneeing, but she did not look like what she did before. Her human disguise was finally gone, revealing what she truely looks like.

She was definitly Irkin, her skin was a darker green then Zim's, and she had a normal Irkin uniform on. But a couple things were different. Without her human hair, Zim noticed she had sightly longer antennas. But even more unusual, she appeared to have what looked like cyborg arms. They were white with a violet colored gem on each on top of her wirsts. Still holding on to her injurey, she looked up at Zim with her sharp eyes, which were now a deep purple color.

Zim's eyes went wider. 'Now I've got her.' He thought slowly lowering himself down to the ground, right infront of Rogue. She looked up at him, or rather, glared at him. Zim folded his spider legs back into his pack. Rogue took a deep breath, writhing a bit with her arm being so messed up.

"You've won, go ahead, finsh me." She said hanging her head in a warrior's defeat. "Not so fast." Zim said calmly. Rogue looked up. "I want some answers." He said. "Who are you really, and why are you after me?"

Rogue's face went blank for a split second, "I'm a ......new soilder from the ..Irkin millitary. The Tallest have sent me to check your progress."

Zim lifted a non-exsistant eyebrow. "My progress?" He said in disbelief. "Yeah, you haven't reported to the Tallest in so long, they wanted me to test your loyalty to them, and , they wanted me to, help you." Rogue explained. Zim thought a moment, looking Rogue over. "Do you have any proof of this?" He asked. Rogue's antennas twitched a bit. "How DARE you!" She said. "I was sent by the Almighty Tallest themselfs, and you don't believe me?!" She scoweled at the Irkin infront of her.

Zim looked at her again before giving her an answer. "I guess your right." Zim said, still unsure. He looked her over one more time. 'Well,now that I know what she is capable of, I can watch my back, just in case.' He thought to himself. He then said to her,"But I'm still going to keep an eye on you."

He turned, motioning Rogue to follow him upstairs. Zim grabbed the still blacked out Gir before stepping into a hidden elevator behind the wall, since Rogue broke the other one. He noticed that Rogue was still cluching her arm. "Are you going to need help repairing your arm?" He asked glancing at her. Rogue scoweled. "I'll FIX IT myself." She said extremely cold. Zim sighed and looked away from her.

Rogue looked at Zim from the corner of her eye. A very dark, creepy smirk grew across her face.
