Authors Note: Sorry bout the lateness, I just started high school and the
workload is awful! Pity me! Wait, I NEED NO PITY! Hmm, if I had a laptop
::hint hint Mom:: I could work on my story during all my free periods that
I seem to have so many of lol. Ah well, their might be a bit of a longer
wait. And my fan art thing SHOULD be up by now, so go check it out if you
suffer from boredom! And, I don't own Zim, its all Jhonen's, he's crazy and
I love him! (Not as much as Zim though..) Oops, I started ranting again.
BACK TO THE STORY NOW!
Dib's eyes widened in shock as Ari's ragged breathing grew steadier, the sword point quivering under his jugular vein. One quick slash and it would be all over for Dib.
"Ari? Ari, look! I caught Zi-"he said excitedly, not realizing the look on Ari's shadowed face. He tried to maneuver his neck away from the blade while talking, but Ari shoved it back into place, its cold metal tip a hair away from his neck now.
"What did you do to him!" her voice deadly quiet, suppressing the rage that burned within her.
"What do you mean? I caught him! Earth is safe-" he continued on, oblivious to the danger his neck was in all the while.
"What's that on his wrists." she nodded towards the blinking lights on the Sleep Cuffs.
Dib slowly turned his head to glance at Zim. "They're Alien Sleep cuffs, but that's not important-"
"Shut your filthy mouth Dib." she spat, the sword blade rose right between his eyes. "Now take those things off of him."
"Wha?" What do you mean.. Take them off? But, he'll.." he trailed off when he stared deep into her eyes as she now stepped into the small patch of light. Her eyes shone furiously with an odd expression on her face, like hatred and determination mixed with something else.
"You want me to let him go!?" it took him a while, but the message her eyes showed could be none other. More silence from Ari. "Why? Why would you want me to do that? You know he'll just go on and destroy all of mankind!"
"Heh, mankind?" her voice filled with spite and hatred. "What has your precious mankind ever done for you Dib? Why do you try so hard to save this planet and protect us all, yet only in return we taunt you, deny you your rights, and call you insane. This world isn't worth saving Dib, give it up."
"What ARE you talking about Ari? This is the fate of the world in our hands! Your asking me to doom the entire human race by letting him go! Why would I do that Ari!?" he said, confusion omnipotent in his voice.
"Why. That's all humans and mankind ever ask isn't it? Why can't you just be happy knowing your alive? That your purpose in life is to survive and survive alone? We humans are so damn full of ourselves we're bound to end up killing us all off eventually, why prolong the suffering of millions? As we speak, hundreds of people are dying, why aren't you saving them Dib, really Zim's doing us all a favor.. Just let him go Zim go Dib, I don't have the time, or the patience," she added with a snarl, " to explain it all to you."
"And if I refuse?" His dark brown eyes shone fiercely, the sword gleamed as the sun shifted and a cloud moved from its path.
The two slits on Ari's face that were eyes narrowed more as she said simply, "Then I cut your throat. Understand?"
-----------------------------------Back at the Park------------------------- --------------------------
Gir looked around, dragging three squirrels by their bushy tails, looking desperately for Ari and Zim.
"Awww, kang'roo an' master wen away on da' honeymoon.. . .I'S GONNA BE DA BABY! EEEEHEHEHE!" He screamed as his jets from his oddly shaped legs turned on. Luckily, no one was around to notice the small green dog propelling himself out of the park.
A few minutes of him flying around in a giant circle went by until his jets went out. He glanced anxiously around, temporarily wishing he hadn't dumped it on the ground to make a swimming hole for the worms earlier that day. But his problem was soon solved as he spied a half full cup of Cookie-dough bubblegum Brainfreezy lying in the trash nearby.
Gir stuck out his tongue cutely as he had trouble shoving the slow moving syrupy "liquid" into his legs. It merged with his remaining fuel, creating a horrible dark brownish-black blob type substance. He giggled insanely as he poked it once and flipped the metallic lids back over the bottoms of his feet. He paused for a moment as he prepared for takeoff as his jets warmed up. Suddenly, the small green dog flew up into the air before promptly exploding.
Peoples heads appeared from windows and doorways as they stared into the sky, as a tiny green something plummeted down back towards the ground at an odd angle.
"Ooooooooo! Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Said the crowds they watched the clueless Gir explode repetitively in the air, his metal body limp from the explosions in his legs.
Soon, he was out of sight, the last explosion sent him hurtling down the street, barely 8 inches from the ground as he glided helplessly through the air. "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he faintly screamed into the distance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
"No! I'll never let him go Ari, and soon, he won't even care, can't you see his I.D. Pak is damaged? Those weren't the old types of Cuffs, they've been improved, now they can be programmed to whatever setting I like Ari, and its all controlled by me."
Ari's eyes widened as Dib slyly smiled and stepped backwards as he withdrew from his pocket a small black controller. He twisted a knob to the right on it, Zim's eyes fluttered.
"Whoops, wrong setting, I almost turned them off!" he said maliciously, an evil grin slowly spreading over his face. "But I wouldn't have wanted to do that now would I?" he said maliciously, taking pleasure in Ari's anger. He turned the knob in the opposite direction and Zim's I.D. Pak shuddered. He kept turning until a small explosion issued from Zim, part of his Pak seemed to have burst open, exposing Zim's green flesh with a mass of burnt smelling wires. Dib turned his head away to glance at what caused the noise, big mistake.
It happened too fast to be seen by human eyes, or at least someone with glasses, soon Dib was pinned to the ground, the controller lay discarded in a dark corner of the alley. She pinned Dib down to the dirty ground, one hand around his neck while the other pressed the swords blade across his neck under her hand. Dib choked, his only air supply being cut off by the unusually firm grip from Ari.
"I warned you Dib! I gave you a fair chance! I never wanted to do this, but I guess I have to, and once your out of the way, NOTHING will stop Zim from reigning supreme over us all!" Her voice slowly rising from a whisper to a roar.
"Your insane!" he gasped with what should have been his last breath.
She leaned close to his ear, and with a clear whisper she said, "I'm not insane, I'm just misunderstood." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
The green dog costume ripped and flew off of him a few minutes into his flight, exposing the now black, white, and blue robot. Gir hit with a thud, his airborne time had finally ended as he crashed into he side of a building. His antennae snapped with a sickening crunch on impact and his left eye was totally static, not to mention both the bottoms of his feet where malfunctioning. He watched his foot sadly as it smoldered, a light blue tear leaking from the androids eye.
"My leggy is broked.. They's gonna throw me out!" he thought to himself. His irken technology came in handy though and his damage repair system was still online. He glanced at his blackened feet to see that they were slowly becoming a glossy metallic white again. His left camera that substituted as an eye recorded everything he saw onto his memory, a backup eye for him.
He slowly struggled out of the bush and realized he was missing a hand. Ignoring this he attempted to skip happily down the dark path that wound behind the buildings.
He paused as he heard a faint peeping noise. He followed it down another path between more houses and found a big row of bushes. Sticking his tongue out happily he squeezed into one of them to find a nest of baby birds. Gir placed the wildly squeaking next of birds on top of his head until the mother bird came into view. She hissed or..something and proceeded to attack the little android. He screamed and dropped the nest, the angry mother pecking his damaged eye. Gir wedged himself through a fence on the other side of the bushes and popped out, escaping the mad bird.
A low humming noise sounded as he tried to locate himself. His front pocket on his chest flew open to reveal a scale, with the words "Power Low" in Irken on the side the arrow was on. His legs gave out a few steps more as the robot collapsed onto the cold ground, his face peering around the corner, he had been unable to make it around, And only if he had, how it would have mattered.
His eyes grew black, except for the static one, it stared blankly around the corner as the video camera rolled on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Ari could see Dib getting ready to kick her but it was too late, his legs met full force with her stomach, she flew off of him and into the wall behind her. Her body temporarily going limp as she slid down to the ground. Dib look a bit surprised, he was breathing hard and nervous looking.
Ari's eyes ripped open, her dark blue eyes shone from the darkness eerily. She slowly got up, but when she reached for her sword, she paused.
"No, I think I'll make this a fair fight after all." she said quietly to herself, although it was made clear that Dib heard as he cocked an eyebrow. She picked up her sword and threw it to Dib, who gasped and fumbled with the handle. She reached down to her shoe and grabbed a dagger. Its slightly curved edge making a sinister sight.
There was an odd silence as Dib looked wildly around for an escape from her, she was obviously insane! What kind of a weirdo carries TWO weapons around with them, nonetheless one?
"Sorry Ari, but I don't hit girls."
"Neither do I, but this is can be an exception."
Metal on metal clanged as Ari charged, her dagger met by her sword, knowing she was on the lesser end of winning but she had the skills to make up for it. She whirled around Dib, coming up from behind him in the shadows, another clang of metal, clash clang clang rang out from the alley.
Dib stopped and threw down the sword, Ari stopped, her lunge interrupted. She smiled in response.
"No weapons? Fine by me, but I had hoped you weren't that type.."
Ari was thrown backwards as she was met with a sharp blow to the face. "That would be a bruise" she though subconsciously as she returned the favor to Dib, a smash of glass was heard as his glasses shattered outwards, one of the shards hit Ari under her left eye, others inflicting smaller wounds as they went.
Dib held up a hand to his eye to check if it was bleeding. Ari pushed him back a step before giving him a nice uppercut. Soon Ari and Dib were an entangled mass of arms and legs. Hatred kept Ari going, as she fought for the destruction of the human race, and Dib fought to save it.
Punches and kicks flew as the two tried as best as they could. Ari had pinned Dib down once again and smiled. Dib glanced anxiously around, spying a large stray shard of glass, he grabbed it and dragged it across Ari's collarbone.
She took off her hands from his shoulders to check her freely bleeding collarbone. Dib broke free and scrambled up, his eyes glancing to Zim and the controller across the alley. He made a dash for it, but Ari leapt for his legs. He fell as Ari clutched onto his boots. Leather boot collided with Ari's nose as Dib lashed out with his foot.
This just kept Ari going more, she struggled to her feet and ran to the small controller. Dib reached it first though. He grabbed it, but before anything could be done, Ari had her arm around his neck, slowly she tightened as she hissed "Give it to me Dib."
"Ga-ack! No, never!" he struggled to say it as her elbow flexed, cutting off more of his air supply. His hands twitched convulsively.
"You wouldn't- wouldn't kill your own flesh and blood would you?" he said, his air supply running out rapidly.
Ari's grip loosened slightly. "What the hell do you mean that by!?" She said, confusion slipping into her voice.
Dibs eyes widened, Ari had never seen Dib so surprised before. "How could you not know this entire time? My dad, he got married last week, and now your.. your my step-sister."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Sorry, its so predictable, and lame and all that crap but eh, if anyone knows html for bolding and italicizing and stuff, PLEASE tell me! I think all the bolded stuff is capitalized.eh, crap.
Dib's eyes widened in shock as Ari's ragged breathing grew steadier, the sword point quivering under his jugular vein. One quick slash and it would be all over for Dib.
