Gazlicious(?), loved your review, and I would've updated sooner but every
time I started typing my mom kicked me off. Oh, and the stories almost
over. This is the 2nd to last chapter, I will write the original ending, it
just may take awhile, (I've already failed the first semester of 9th grade
and I can't fail the 2nd, I procrastinate to much, damn my laziness!) Well
enough of my sad life, here's the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim
After Meth left, Gaz and Tia carefully straightened Dib up and, after testing to see if he could walk on his own, put his arms over their shoulders and walked slowly down the hall. All of the Irkens were still lying, haphazardly, where she'd last put them, and a few new scratches covered their faces and clothes. Tia kicked each of them as she passed them, grinning as they moaned and groaned.
When they got to the stairs they peaked downward and saw Zim sitting on the stairs, they shuffled backwards a bit, but when they heard Zim jump up, they scooted closer to watch again. Gaz quieted Dib as he began mumbling something. Zim was now talking to someone, a tense anger was heard clearly but the words couldn't be distinguished. After a few exchanged words with someone out of view, Zim threw something toward the ground and a second later 4 small Irkens tackled Zim, and although surprised, Gaz had to repress a giggle. They watched as another Irken came into view, it was one of the tallest. He held a gun toward Zim's head and was speaking in a low voice, he motioned with his hands and the small Irkens began dragging Zim out of view.
Gaz and Tia waited as the muffled voices and noises got quieter and quieter until they disappeared all together. When all was silent, they made their way slowly down the stairs. Suddenly a loud scream of, 'what!' echoed through the halls, making Gaz, Tia and Dib all jump.
"What was that?" Tia asked in a hushed whisper a second later.
"I think it was Zim." Gaz replied uncertainly. At Zim's name Dib growled, and tried to pull away from Tia and Gaz but only managed to fall the rest of the way down the stairs. Gaz and Tia ran the rest of the way down but when they got there Dib had sat up and was muttering something about killing Zim and slicing him to study his insides.
"Is he alright?" Tia asked as they helped him up.
"Yep, I think he's getting better." Gaz replied, as they straightened.
"Better?" Tia questioned under her breath.
"C'mon, let's go to the Voot Runner port, I'll leave you and Dib there to claim a runner and then I'll come back here to get revenge, 'kay?" Gaz said as they quietly snuck down the hall.
"What? Come back by yourself? But the ship is crawling with Irkens, what if you get caught?" Tia asked, frowning at the idea.
"I'll be fine, believe me. Besides I can't bring Dib or leave him alone. I'll be perfectly fine." Gaz said in a reassuring tone.
"But if Meth's there already can I go back with you?" Tia pleaded. Gaz didn't answer but instead put a finger to her lips as they walked by Zim's door. Suddenly both of them were required to stop as Dib froze in his tracks between them; he was studying the carvings on Zim's door. A look of sudden comprehension came over his face before it became a set glare. Abruptly, he jerked away from them and stepped, clumsily, toward the door.
"Dib! No!" Gaz hissed reaching for his arm, but he had already opened the door and was stumbling in. As Gaz jumped forward to pull Dib out, all of the Irkens looked at them and Gaz waved weakly. Red and Purple had brought out all of Zim's inner computers and now the room looked more like a science laboratory then anything. Red and Purple were standing near the computers, 4 small Irkens stood nearby. Her gaze fell over Zim, sitting pitiably in a cage. She did a double take, but Tia came forward, snapping her out of her shock, and they both managed to pull the struggling Dib backward.
"Wait, need to kill Zim." Dib yanked his arms away from them, and lurched toward Zim's cage before they could react. The Irkens were all still staring at them, dumbfounded.
"Tia, go to the docking port, wait for Meth there." Gaz muttered out of the corner of her mouth. Tia looked at her, and shook her head violently. Gaz gave her a startled look, which slowly transformed into one of approval.
"Get them you morons!" Gaz and Tia jumped as the Tallest Red finally shouted. The 4 small Irkens from before surged toward them. Dib was still by the cage, laughing hysterically, and Zim growling, his eye twitching. The Irkens, although quick, were taken down within a matter of seconds, each with a punch to the stomach or kick to the head. A growl was heard as Red walked quickly toward them, gun in hand.
"Stupid fools." He commented, spitting at the fallen Irkens.
"It's not their fault they're trained badly." Gaz said, grinning devilishly. Red snapped his glare back to her.
"Shut up, stupid human." Red prepared to pull the trigger and Gaz stared at him defiantly. His finger twitched threateningly, and suddenly he was rushed from behind. Gaz fell to the side, pulling Tia with her as a 'zzzzz' echoed through the large room. Gaz jumped up and looked toward Red to find that Dib had him in a headlock. They were busy grappling with each other and neither noticed Purple sneaking up on Dib from behind. Gaz ran toward them and jumped over Dib and Red to tackle Purple to the ground, she jumped up quickly as she realized she was touching him. Before he could get up, she kicked his temple and grabbed a laser from his hand. She looked back toward Dib and Red only to see that it was now just Dib, lying on the ground looking dazed.
"That bastard took off. Coward." Dib stood up, and Tia and Gaz stared at him warily, "What?" he snapped.
"Nothing, just . . . You okay?" Gaz asked, leaning forward to study him. He took a step away from her and nodded.
"I'm fine." He replied hesitantly.
"Do you remember much?" Gaz questioned.
"What is your problem?" Dib asked, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing, just forget it." Gaz said, nodding approvingly.
"Gaz?" Tia sidled up to her, "Red did something over there before he left." Tia pointed toward one of the computers. Dib and Gaz went over to it and saw a screen with red numbers blinking ominously.
"Please don't tell me that that's what I think it is." Gaz said, watching the numbers change.
"It's a failsafe." Zim's voice floated from the cage and they all turned to look at him, "A bomb."
::sniff:: the stories almost over.
