Chapter two:Darkness of Doom

"What is he doing here?" Gaz hissed,pausing her game.Dib and Zim looked at each other.

"You know what you told me about telling Zim that it was his freedom?",Dib said to his sister,"it freaked him out"

Gaz glanced at Zim,who looked back.

"What?"the Invader snapped back"haven't you ever been freaked out by something that isn't designed to scare people?"

"Ironic Purpose?"Dib said"Yeah I have.your robot,Zim.He's cute.But frankly terrifying"

"Try to last a day with him,Dib-stink.It will forever be in your thoughts"

Gaz sighed with annoyance.She unpaused her game and sank into the sofa.

"He can stay",she said,not taking her eyes off the game"but if he annoys me,I'm going to hurt both of you"

"FOOLISH GIRL!YOU CAN'T HURT THE SUPERIOR ZIM!I AM--!"

"You know what I told you about getting killed?"Dib said to the Irken.Zim raised an eyebrow.

"During Gaz's senior prep,a boy called Fredi Gallonsoe teased her for not having any eyes.He poured gallons of glue on her,and called her names.Two days later,they found him in histerical panic.He complained about suspending upside down with paint all over him and his game slave away from his hands.When he came out,he was torn.The place got surrounded.When dad and everyone else found Gaz,she was playing the Game Slave for the first time in her hands--and she was great with it.That's where she discovered her gift.Her talent turned it into an obsession,and her obsession turned her into a detonator of a bomb that goes off everyday.So,take my human word for it Zim.Don't even TRY to anger her"

Zim scowled.He sat on the sofa as well,crossing his arms.

Dib woke up,feeling dazed.He saw a fog blocking his view.It was his glasses.Grunting,he sat up and wiped them with his shirt.He placed them on again,then turned to glance at his digital clock,then gasped.Seven o'clock!He's been asleep for three hours striaght!

Dib got off his bed and looked out his window.The peolpe outside in funy costumes have increased.He busted out of his room,sliding down the railings of the stairs and was about to proceed to the kitchen,when he stopped.The sofa infront of the TV was seated with two occupants.Dib saw,a familiar green head with antennaes and another head that was vivid purple.Gaz and Zim turned hearing that he had arrived.

"Oh.You're awake"Gaz said monotonously.Zim merely glanced at Dib,as he changed his sitting position.

"Dad called and said he's coming home late.I told him Zim was staying and said he could"

"Uh..yeah"Dib said,unsure of what to say"do we have anything to eat?"

Suddenly,Dib stumbled in total darkness.Every light in the house instantly died out,as he heard movements.

"Who tripped on the power line?!"Dib heard his sister scream,"Was it you Dib?!"

"No"Dib voiced in the dark.

"Zim!"

"I'm right beside you,filthy human"

"Then who the heck cut our power?!"

Dib cautiously stood up and dusted himself.He felt a nearby wall and leaned on it.Though he couldn't see anything,he began instructing Zim and Gaz.

"Both of you,stay where you are!I'm going to come over there"

Dib started to feel around.He couldn't retrace his steps,but he had a pretty good idea where the sofa was.As his feeling arms felt something,at the same time came along a spasm of vicious pain in his fingers.

"AGH!Who bit me?!"

"I did" Zim said nastily "You poked my eye!"

"I can't see,stupid!"Dib said to the Irken,"It's too dark!".

Dim heard Zim growl."Me neither,Dib monkey!Now flash me some light!"

Dib reached into his pocket and got a purple flashlight and pointed the beam at Zim.He froze.

"Zim?"he whispered weakly,"what's that hanging around your neck?"

Zim blinked.He looked down and saw a long cord of barb wire that circled his neck.And on the wire's pointed edges were reddish stains.

"He wasn't wearing that when he came in" Gaz said,who was only illuminated slightly by the light.Zim held on the wire cautiously and lifted it from his head.But the wire was so small,it touched the sides of his face.

"I'm going to get pliers" Dib said frightendly."Gaz,you stay here.Me and Zim will go to the garage"

"Did YOU put this on me?"Zim asked suspiciously.Dib looked at him.

"No"he replied "It was dark,remember?"

The two boys with the beam infront of them proceeded to a door where it led to a small shed of tools.Dib began to point the light on each tool,looking for the one he needed.He stopped at an empty slot in which a wrench should be.

"Hey!" Dib said suddenly,"where's the wrench?"

Zim merely made a noise of impatience.

"Forget the wrench!" he said "this thing is making me itch!"

Dib continued his search.He stopped at a blue pair of pliers.He unhooked it from the slot and snapped the barb wire from Zim's neck.

"Now that that's fixed" Dib said promptly,"let's go see if the phone is--"

CRASH!

Both human and Irken screamed.They looked at each other then rushed back to the dim living room,where Gaz lay unconciously.Blood slowly dripped from her head,and a silver wrench with blood lay beside her.

"Hey,isn't that--"

"The wrench" Dib whispered"somebody was here"
