The Nightmare Begins...Again
disclaimer: ZIM and Sesshoumaru will be mine, you sad little human worm-babies!
When the enemies got to Dib's house, ZIM sat on the couch and took off his left boot to examine the damage. It was covered in purple blood and the bone was sticking out in two places. As you can imagine it looked pretty gross, and now that he saw it, ZIM's leg began to hurt...A LOT. He cringed and turned to look at Dib who said,
"It doesn't look like just TAK could have done that to you." He was going around the house, checking to see if Professor Membrane was around.
"You're right, it wasn't just her." ZIM was now inspecting his PAK, trying to ignore the leg. "There was another...but I don't know what it was." Dib, satisfied that the Prof. wasn't home, found the actual crutches and gave them to ZIM. He took the wooden supports and used the make-shift ones to form a splint. There were gross sounds involved in resetting the bone, so I won't describe them. After that was taken care of, the two headed to the lab.
"What do you mean you don't know what it was?"
'This lab's not as advanced as mine, but it will have to do.' ZIM propped himself on a chair, grabbed a wire cutter, and began work on his PAK. "This other person was there," he said, directing most of his attention to the egg thingy. "She had cat ears and claws and markings on her face." He paused to grab another gizmo and continued. "She also had this weird thing around her neck, like a collar, but it had little flashing lights on it." Suddenly, something on the ground started wirring, then GIR's head hopped out of the bag. The only problem was when he talked, he sounded way more glitchy than normal.
"H-h-h-h-hiiiiii, M-m-m-mast-t-t-ter!" Even glitchy, he still sounded cute and innocent. ZIM looked at the little dysfunctional Standart issue Information Retrieval unit as it's antennea flew off it's head. The small projectile stopped only when it hit the tiny IRKEN's nasty-looking leg.
"Aaaaaaaaarrrrgggg...GIR! Shut down!"
"O-o-o-o-o-okeeeedokey!" With that, the bright blue orbs changed a dark grey as ZIM refrained from killing Dib, him being the closest thing at the moment.
"Eeeeerrrgg...," Zim said, clutching his leg. "I'll have to fix that." Dib stared at the green, pain filled alien next to him. He kind of admired ZIM for not taking his pain and anger out on him, since he was standing so close the him. Dib looked at ZIM's leg and saw dark purple blood dripping from it. ZIM was in the process of fixing his "splint" when he stopped moving completly.
"What's wrong?" Dib asked. When ZIM didn't answer, Dib looked at his face and saw a look of concentration, then worry. He looked at his head and saw the two black antennea were twitching slightly and were steadily twitching faster. Then Dib started to hear a faint noise comming from outside. It was his dad's car. 'Crud.' Dib ran out of the lab, thinking of a way to stall his father. After Dib left, ZIM began working feverishly on repairing his PAK. He got it done before he felt the vibrations of footsteps approching and attached it to his back. Then he picked up the bag with the reminants of GIR and used the spider legs to hide in the shadows of the lab.
"I won't be home tonight, son," ZIM heard the Professor say. ZIM's heart-like organ slowed as he listened Dib and Membrane talk. When he noticed the sound of a car leaving, ZIM went back to the workbench and repaired GIR. When he finally finished, Dib came in the lab, holding a hot dog.
"HOT DOG!" GIR immediatly ran for the dog of hot and gobbled it down. "Yummy! I want more!"
"Um, okay." Dib looked at the hyperactive robot. 'How can a robot eat food?' "Uh, just follow me."
"Just don't bring it in here, that smell is disgusting." ZIM was making an actual splint/cast thing for his leg now as GIR ran after Dib, squeeling happily. After a while, ZIM's started hearing a very soft noise, like a purr. He looked around and saw the door was closed and neither his robot nor enemy were around. Actually, he could hear Dib yelling along with small explosions every now and then. 'I must be hearing things.' The new splint he made would enablel the small IRKEN to move around freely and even put his full weight on the broken leg. As ZIM was puttting this new splint on, Gaz came in holding GIR.
"If you want to keep your robot intact, ZIM," she said sleepily, " I suggest you keep him quiet." She dropped GIR on the floor and slammed the door.
"Where is the Dib human?" ZIM asked. He looked at GIR, who had ketchup all over his face.
"I dunno. I think he's fixin' the doohicky or the jigger-ma-bob or the other, uh, thing." Just then, they heard Dib scream.
"Ha! Stupid human, he must have electrocuted himself." ZIM made a mental note to pick on Dib for it later. Then ZIM noticed something. He couldn't hear any grumbling from the little worm-monkey. But he did hear that purring noise again, and it was getting louder.
"Hey, wazzat? Is it the kitty lady 'gin?" GIR looked at his master with bright blue orbs. 'Oh, no. If GIR can hear the noise too...it can't be.'
"GIR! Come with me, I guess we should check on the human."
"Yes, my lord!" The rubber piggie lover turned red and saluted. GIR, being the brave little robot that he is, hid behind ZIM as they headed to the kitchen. They found Dib laying against the wall, unconcious, a little mechanical collar around his neck. ZIM managed to pull off the collar and he put it inside GIR's head, for safe-keeping. The purring ZIM had been hearing was very loud now and right behind him there was a soft thump. ZIM turned around and saw the thing described earlier, her eyes were crimson red and a look of malice was on her face. She was slowly walking towards the small invader, but something was weird. Her moves seemed hesitant. When she got close enough, the cat lunged at ZIM. He grabbed GIR and Dib and used the mech legs to jump out of the way. Dib regained consiousness in midjump.
"Is that who you were talking about, ZIM?" Dib asked. The look on his face was answer enough. ZIM set Dib down and he ran upstairs to get his sister. The cat-girl and IRKEN soldier stood still for a minute in a stare-off that seemed to last forever. Then they heard footsteps coming downstares. Dib stood in the kitchen doorway holding something. He flipped a switch on it and immediatly ZIM's head began to pound. Next to him, GIR was freaking out and the cat-girl was on her knees and covering her ears. After a while she passed out, GIR was on the ground completly grey, and ZIM was starting to pass out also. Luckily, Dib flipped the switch again before that happened and the pounding in ZIM's head stopped. GIR was now standing up shakily with a few electrical sparks going off every now and then. Dib went to the cat and was trying to take the collar thing off, but she regained consiousness and he backed off.
"Oh...my head." The girl looked up and saw the robot, IRKEN, and big-headed kid. Her eyes were no longer a menicing crimson, but a forest green with traces of tan. "Where am I," she asked, there was some fear in her voice.
"You're in my kichen," Dib said. "You know, where you throttled me?" She looked at him in confusion as GIR ran up to her and hugged her.
"Kitty!"
"Hi, GIR!" She hugged him back and smiled.
"How do you know him?" ZIM asked.
"I met kitty lady when you was at skool and we watched the Scary Monkey show!" GIR looked up at the one he hugged with a sad face. "Why did you attack master and let the robot kitty hurt me?"
"What?" She looked at ZIM. "What's he taking about? I've never even seen you before, how could I have...Wait a minute. Actually, you do look sort of familiar. You aren't TAK, are you." The last sentence was not a question. She looked at ZIM sternly, as if considering something. Her hand went up to the collar. Realization dawned on her and she stared growling.
"Kitty?" the little robot asked innocently. The cat stopped growling and smiled softly at GIR.
"My name is Ziggy, remember?"
"Oh, yeah! I forgot." Ziggy sat GIR down and started walking toward the door.
"Wait, get back here!"
"Yes, where are you going, human?" Ziggy turned around and faced the small boys.
"Do not confuse me with those detestable creatures. I am only half human, and I'm going to pay someone a visit." She flicked at the collar before heading out the door, a low growl in her throut.
"I'm-a gonna miss you, kitty!" GIR started waving both arms frantically.
AN: Thanks Invader Johnny! sorry there wasn't much ZIM yelling and Dib ranting. I'll keep that in mind for future chapters!
ZIM: ALL SHALL COWER AT MY INGENIOUS SPLINT, uh, THING!
Ziggy: I feel sad, I called myself a thing and I'm being controlled by a small green person who wants to kill the one I lurve.
Sess: I thought you loved me.
Zig: Yes. I love and obsess over you, but I lurve ZIM.
ZIM: looks at big Fluff You're so...TALL!
Sesshomaru: Oh, no, not another one.
Dib: No one is caring about me right now and Ziggy called my race detestable. R&R and I may get noticed.
GIR:(munching on tacos and drinking salty lemonade) I love the little tacos, I love them good.
