The Spawn

By Unknowner

Chapter 7

Author's Note: I own very little in this chapter… only Gidj and Zed. Thanks to all those that reviewed chapters five and six: G.I.R.L., Lina, Red Moon Kree, Shibby, Mecha Tails, B, True Locket, Noname, Zek, Purple's Right Hand Girl, and Kim the Kenlei. You all get kewpie dolls!

"Knock, knock." Dib walked into Zim's base without warning, catching him and Gaz on the couch. Gaz sprang up like a cornered lynx.

"DIB! What the heck are you doing here?"

"Relax, Gaz. I'm not going to try and expose Zim this time… or anything else."

"…What?"

"I know about everything. Look, Zim. If your people are going to be sending some kind of biomechanical destruction-machine to earth, we need to take it out. Fast." Dib seemed determined, in an odd sort of way that Zim had rarely seen. And for once, he wasn't snapping spy pictures. But… waitaminit….

"Hey… how did you know about the Slaughter-Drone? If you've been tapping my communication lines again, SO HELP ME-"

"Relax, Zim. I just have hidden cameras set up around here."

"WHAT?" Zim turned a peculiar shade of orange.

"Well, it was so easy to do…"

"HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT??!?!?!"

"…you know those rubber squeak moosies Gir likes?"

"Oh no."

"Yeeeeeeeah."

"Then…" Zim suddenly became pale, looking over at Gaz.

"Look, I don't care if you two like each other now. I mean, it's pretty gross, but if you aren't gonna try to conquer the earth, I'm okay with it… for now…" Dib shot a suspicious look over at Gaz before continuing.

"Now, what the heck is a Slaughter-Drone, anyway?"

"Doom in a titanium-alloy shell."

"Uh… could you be a little more specific?"

"It's a five-foot tall, two-ton irkinid death machine, dedicated to OBLITERATING anything it touches, with a beam that slows down bodily functions so that it can capture a comatose being and revive it later… after it has harvested all genetic information."

"…ouch."

Zim smiled. Sure, the Dib-human was annoying… but now he was an ally. And he needed all the allies he could get.
