TRANSFORMATION: COMPLETED OR NOT?

Zim glared in hatred. He was so close! He hissed quietly. "Who-who are you?" Margo stared at him, cautious and curious. Dib flicked his gaze to her. "Me? I'm Dib. And I suggest you put the Irken down." Margo stared at him, confused. "Irken? What's an Irken?" To her surprise, Dib started laughing. "Don't ell me you never told her your name, Zim!" Zim sat up. "Of course I did. You just wouldn't know it, human." Margo glanced at both of them. "Will somebody PLEASE tell me what's going on?"

Dib smiled. "Gladly." He walked over and picked up the green cat from her. He set Zim on the floor and nudged him. Zim turned and bit his leg. Margo stared, still confused. Dib touched the markings on the cat's back and it glowed slightly. "As I thought. You'd better hurry, Zim. The transformation is almost complete." Zim bolted to his computer and typed in a code. He was punched onto the floor and Dib smashed the keyboard. "I told you, Zim. This is the end for you." He watched in amusement as the Irken turned and a crack emitted. Zim's lower jaw quivered and he turned away.

Margo shoved Dib aside and picked the cat up. A piece of bone was protruding from his back. She gently tried to place the bone back and stopped as Zim yelped. Dib growled and pushed her. Zim landed on the floor, unable to run. Margo hit her head on the computer and yelled. Dib raised his foot above Zim and brought it down. Margo flinched as a crunch and a scream echoed throughout the lab. Blood flowed steadily onto the floor as Dib lifted his foot.

Zim whimpered as his spine crumbled. Dib pulled out a carrier and kicked the Irken inside. Zim was in no mood to fight. His spine was broken, Margo couldn't help, and he was in Dib's clutches once again. He sighed in defeat and kept quiet as Dib walked back to his house. The second the carrier was placed on his desk, Dib reached inside and pulled the alien out. He placed a chain around his neck and pushed the alien onto the floor. Zim lowered his head and kept quiet even when Dib stepped on his tail. "Not so fast, Dib!" Zim looked up. Margo had climbed through the window.

Dib reacted quickly and pulled out a dagger. He placed it against Zim's throat and shoved the Irken against the wall. "Nobody move, or I'll slit his throat." Zim gulped and edged slowly away. Dib glanced at him. "Where do you think you're going?" Zim grinned meekly. "Uh, nowhere." He sat down, blade still at his throat. Dib stared at him hard and pulled out a remote. He pressed a button and all went black in the room.

Whew! This story's coming along great! I'm getting lots of reviews ( thanks to everybody who reviewed), and I'm getting lots of ideas. *clears throat* Well, on with the next chapter! P.S. Sorry the chapter was so short!
