CAUGHT AND CHANGED

Zim gulped as Dib raised the laser gun. It had been a while since the human had actually cornered him. Dib grinned and pulled the trigger. Zim ducked and lunged at him, knocking them both to the ground. Dib hit his head on the concrete ground and Zim whacked his skull on the alley wall. The Irken got up and bolted, Dib in tow. Dib raised the gun again and shoved a small chip in the barrel. He stopped and aimed quickly as Zim glanced back at him. He felt the gun dig into his arm as he fired.

The alien fell to the ground as the chip hit him in the back of the neck. The changes happened almost immediately. The Irken shrunk till he was the size of a dog. Pointed ears replaced antennae and grew furry. Zim yelped as a green tail appeared. He looked at his hands and screamed. They were paws. His eyes grew wide as the changes stopped. Suddenly, hands wrapped around his middle. He struggled to swipe at the human with his spider legs and found that he couldn't. Dib pulled out a chain and tied it around his neck. Zim yelped as the human's fingers dug into his skin. His yelp came out as a pained mew. Zim froze and gulped. Dib laughed and set the alien down. He pulled out a small mirror and held it in front of Zim. The Irken's jaw dropped open and he howled.
