Chapter 9
Searching For The Answers
The very next morning, Zim was all set for skool. He walked into the livingroom were Gir was sitting on the floor, watching T.V.. Rogue slowly walked in the room, passing Zim, and not saying anything. She was thinking about what happened last night. She was confused, yet disappointed at the whole matter. For the first time in her life, she did not know what to do. She had never incountered something like this before. And since last night, the same question went through her mind over and over, 'Why couldn't I do it?'
Zim watched Rogue as she headed towards the door. He raised his unexisting eyebrow. He noticed that shes been acting strange sinice early that morning. She hasn't scowled at him, or make any smart remarks, or anything. He then thought that maybe she was still a bit stuned from her first incounter with water yesterday. He remembered his first time with water. It seems so harmless at first, but then it hits you, your whole body feels like its on fire. You become paralyzed with pain. He thought that had to be the reason. If only he knew.
Rogue walked up to the front door, and rested her forehead on it. She let out a big sigh. "I wish I didn't have to go to that "skool" thing today." She said outloud, not caring that Zim heared her. Zim looked at her and thought for a moment. "Well, you know," He said. "If you don't want to go, you don't have to."
"Huh?" Rogue said turning her head to look at him. Zim started heading towards the door. "I'll just tell the teacher human that your sick." He said opening the door.
"Sick??" Rogue said raising her fake human eyebrow.
"Sick is what human children say to skool humans if they don't want to go to skool." Zim explained. "I call in "sick" whenever I have too much work to do here."
"Um......oh." Rogue said, not quite sure want to say. "Um...alright, sure." Zim started heading out the door. He then stopped, turned and looked at Rogue. "Since your staying at the base today..." He said. "You can help Gir watch it, and make sure no one gets in." Rogue looked at Zim for a moment. "....O-Okay." She said nodding her head "yes". Zim then walked out and shut the door.
For the next few moments, Rogue just stood there, staring that the door. Slowly, the same strange new feeling was coming over her again. She hung her head and stared down at the floor. "I'm so confused." She said outloud with a depressing sigh.
"Really? Thats happens to me alllllll the time!"
Rogue's head shot up. She forgot that Gir was in the room. "Oh, great, I have to spent the day with that crazy tin runt." She said under her breath. She turned around to see Gir looking at her with his huge, round, metal eyes. She scowled at him. All of the sudden, Gir jumped up and started running circles around Rogue all frantic like.
"What are you doing?!" Rogue shouted, trying to get away from the robot. Gir then made a sudden skriching stop right in front of Rogue and started jumping up and down, waving his little robot arms in the air. "I'M A JELLYBEAN!!!" The little robot shouted. "A LITTLE JUMPING JELLYBEAN!!!"
Rogue just looked at Gir with a confused/shocked look on her face. She then turned and headed towards the kitchen. "What a worthless little SIR." She mummbled under her breath.
"NOOOOOO!!! DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEE!!!" Gir screamed. He ran up to Rogue and tackled her, knocking her down. He then cluched on to her left leg.
"Let go you piece of junk!!" Rogue shouted, trying to shake Gir loose. But the little robot just wouldn't let go.
"GET OFF!!!"
Rogue swung her leg hard, throwing Gir into the wall. She got up and gave him the evil eye. "For crying outloud!" She shouted at GIr. "What on Irk is your malfunction!?" Gir just sat there, back againest the wall, with his head down.
"Well, come on! Say something!" She snapped.
But then, Rogue lifted a eyebrow when she heared a unusal noise coming from the little robot. Gir slowly raised his head, revealing that he was crying. He wiped away the tears flowing from his round blue eyes, and looked at Rogue with a really sad look. Rogue's eyes suddenly widened. She as seen that look before. The look on the little robot's face, sparked up a memory she had somehow forgotten a long time ago.
[Flashback]
(Note: Flashback from Rogue's POV.)
~"It was my first mission. By orders of my Masters, I was to destory a planet that they said was becoming a great threat. Since birth, I've been trained to handle mission like this. I was even once told that I was developed for it. I was deeply honored when my Masters wanted to come with me to see how well I would do on it. Because of this, I was determined to do a perfect job
When we arrived at the target planet, my body began to tremble with excitment. I was ready to do want I've been trained to do all my life. I activated my air bubble, and exited from my cruser into space above the planet. My Masters stayed inside their ship to watch me. As I entered the planet's atmosphere, I activated my jet pack to hover in the air. My plan was to get close enough, and fire my powerful pulse cannon. That way, it would destroy the planet in one shot.
The moment came. I was at the perfect position to fire. I looked down to discover that the planet's people were all running around in a panic. They somehow all knew what was coming to them. A smile came across my face. I felt this sense of power, knowing that I alone was about to seal the fate of all those little, tiny, patheic creathuers in that planet. And to top it off, my Masters were going to witness it.
I focused my sights on a spot, and prepared my pulse cannon. I placed my wrists together. My cyborg arms and hands conneted together, forming the pulse cannon. This was it, my first moment of glory was at hand!
I aimed my cannon at the prechoosen spot. Then my well developed Irkin eyes saw that two of the paniced inhabitants were standing right in my cannon's firing spot. I sqinted my eyes to see that it was a mother and her young child. The mother was paralyzed with fear, so was the child. As I looked down at them, I could see that the child was cluching it's mother tight.
I began to warm up my pulse cannon. It's loud humming was heared by the inhabitants as they paniced even more. But tha mother and chlid just stood there, looking up, knowing what was coming. The child looked strait at me, and thats when I saw it.
The look on it's face was one I never have seen before. It's eyes appeared to be leaking a clear fulid. I have seen fear, but this...this was new.
But I didn't have time to think more about it. My cannon fired. In a instant, the planet was gone. Nothing was left but space dust.
I returned to my cruser, and waited for my Masters to contact me. While I waited, a frozen image of the chlid's face was trapped in my mind. For some reason, I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
The moniter in my cruser suddenly turned on. When I saw my Masters on the screen, I kneeled on one knee and bowed in great repect. I was always told to bow on one knee in front of them, weather in person or on a moniter.
"Good job, Rogue. Get used to it."
Thats all they said. Thats all that I expected. Thats just how they are.
Later that day, on the way back home, I thought of the chlid onces more. I never seen that look on someone's face before. I know what fear looks like, and I know what anger looks like, but what emotion was that child portraying? I then thought why even think about it. Thinking about stupid things like that makes people weak.
And since then, I placed the frozen image in the back of my mind, and have not thought about it since." [End of Flashback]
~ Rogue stood there reflecting on that long forgotten moment in her past. Ever since then, she hasn't had any problem doing her job, untill now. She looked at Gir, who was still "leaking" a little bit.
'I wonder...' She thought. 'What was that child feeling?' She wondered, if the SIR, was portraying that same feeling. There was only one way to find out.
"Hey, uh..."Gir"?" Rogue said to the robot. Gir's eyes perked up, still some tears in them. "Heeeey! You got my name right!" He said cheering up a bit.
"I need to asked you something." ('I can't believed I'm asking a SIR something!')
"YEEEES?"
Rogue cleared her throut. "That...that emotion you were just displaying. What is it called?"
As usual, Gir had to think for a sec. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhh......what?"
Rogue slapped her forehead and growled, trying to kept her cool. She took a deep breath and asked again. "Let me put it this way. Why do your eyes leak like that?"
"OHHHHH....." Gir said, finaly getting it. "I wasn't happy."
"Wasn't "happy"?" Rogue said a little confused. She thought for a moment. "Is "happy" like being proud?"
"Ummmmm..........I guess so."
"Okay..good." Rogue said. "Now we're getting somewhere. Alright, then what is NOT being "happy" called?"
Gir cocked his head to the side and looked at Rogue with a little surperised look. "You don't know?" He said in a cute tone. "It's called "saaaad".
"Saaaad"? Rogue said scrarching her head, still not quite getting it.
"Uh huh!" Gir said nodding his head. "I was sad, but now I'm happy! I was sad, but now I'm happy!" He continued to say that as he skipped off into the livingroom to watch T.V., leaving a very confused Rogue in the kitchen.
She tryed to put together what Gir said. "Happy? Sad?.....I don't get it. Jeez, that was a waste of time."
She walked into the livingroom to see Gir bobbing his little head to the tune of The Scary Monkey Show. She rested her back the wall and put her hands in her pockets. 'Want a situation I'm in!' She thought to herself. 'I'm have so many questions in my head, I'm surperised its hasn't explosed! And to top it off, I STILL don't know whats wrong with me. I'm experiancing a feeling I never even felt before. And its only around Zim! I wish I just knew why I have to get rid of him. Maybe if I knew why, this weird feeling will get OUT of me. But how?'
Rogue looked at Gir, now rolling around on the floor in crazy laugher. She scowled. 'That stupid SIR. It's computer brain chip must be smaller then a unevoled amoeba.' Suddenly, a idea shot into her head. "What a minutie. Computer? Thats it!" She ran towards the underground lab. As for Gir, he was still rolling around.
~ Rogue ran out of the elevater as soon as it opened to the lab. She headed towards Zim's main computer. She stopped infront of it and took a look at it. "I know what to do to see why "Zim" as to be rid of." She said "I'll just use his computer, and through it, hack into the data base back home!" Rogue forgot that with her cyborg arms, she can hack into almost any computer system. "The data base should tell me everything about my target!"
She searched around the computer untill she found a loose piece of covering. She removed it, and found all the main wires and circuits. "Alright." She said. She then pushed some buttons on her arm, and in a flash, removed her human disgusie. With her disguise gone, she could use her cyborg parts to the fullest. She kneeled down, and typed in a code on her arm and said, "Actavate hacking program." A small computer voice came out of her arm saying, "Hacking Program Actavted."
Rogue then streched out her right arm towards the wires of the computer. Small little circuits shot out of the palm of her cyborg hand, and attached themself to the wires and circuits. Then with her left arm, pushed buttons on her right arm as she began to hacking program.
~ A good ten minutes passed. Rogue was almost to the data base through Zim's computer. "Come on, almost there.........Got it!" Zim's computer screen flashed up Irkin letters that spelled, "I.S.D.B.", whlch stands for Irken Soldier Data Base. "Now all I have to do is find Zim's data file." Rogue said pushing more buttons. Suddenly, she heard someone coming up behind her, making a metal sound.
She very quickly turned around to see, of course, Gir looking at her all cute like. Rogue swollowed hard, thinking she just got busted, but Gir just stood there and said, "HIIIIYYYAAA!" Rogue took a huge sigh of relief. 'I should have guessed that he would be too dumb to know what I'm doing.' She thought to herself. After a moment or two, Gir reached into his head and took out a rubber piggy and happy started playing it. Rogue want back to her hacking.
~ About five minutes later, Rogue finaly found what she was looking for. "Bingo!" She said. On the computer screen, a file popped up with Zim's name in Irken writing. "Now, lets see what we have here." She opened the file and saw all the stats on her target, his birth, his weight, his height, and ect.. She scrolled down when something caught her eye. "Whats this?" She said as she started skiming it.
"......Operation Impending Doom 1 failed because of Zim?!........Banished?......and thats it. There hasn't been any new data added for a long time!" Rogue thought for a few moments. "What he did wrong, he all ready been punished for it. Where was he banished to?" She looked at the file again and came acrossed the name Food Courtia. "That place? Then whats he doing here?" Rogue took a sigh. "Even hacking into the data system didn't help me."
Suddenly, Gir came up for behind and stuck his rubber piggy in Rogue's face. She slapped the toy away from her and gave Gir a dirty look. But then her eyes went wide. She suddenly realized something. If Zim was banished AFTER Operation Impending Doom 1 was a bust, then why did he have a SIR? Only Irkins that have been asigned to work on Operation Impending Doom 2 was given a SIR! She looked through at the file again. "There should be something in here that says that!" She said, but nothing came up.
Now there were more questions then answers. Why is Zim on Earth? Why does he have a SIR? (Not a good one, but its still a SIR) What did he do to be ordered to get bumped off?
Rogue sat on the floor, more confused then ever. She rubbed her eyes, which were starting to get tired from looking at the computer screen. "I just don't know." She said. "Maybe I'm way over my head. But......why do I what to know so bad?" She sat there, all quiet. She then turned to see thet Gir was no longer in the lab. He went back up to the house.
....................
"WELCOME HOME, MASTER!!!"
Rogue's head shot up to what Gir shouted. "Zim is back already?!" She said in shock. She looked down at her arm, it was still all hooked up! "I gotta shut down my hacking program and get out of here before he comes down here!" She franticly started to shut down the program. If Zim saw her now, she'll get caught! "Come on, come on!" She said panicing a bit. But the program was taking too long. She heard the elevater coming down. She could feel sweat coming down her face. Her whole body tighten up. The elevater doors opened.
