The Finally
This is the last chapter as far as I'm concerned so don't ask for more! Sigh it's been a long and weird journey to his point sitting in my room for hours thinking. Doodling character pictures trying to figure out every detail like what they're eyes would look like or how they would hold themselves. And I'll never forget the time I had to have hand to hand combat with a super ape to get my computer back from those evil moon men…yes it's been quite a journey. And if even one of you complain about it taking a few extra days for me to post this you will pay dearly. Well before my head hits the keyboard from exhaustion I just wanted to thank you all for your reviews and warn you about the flesh-eating virus that's spread through contact with swetjiklcujhhjdirjvfjdlsZZZ
P.S. Dib still has a lisp becuz of that beating he received in the last chapter so what may appear to be typos are cleverly used misspelled words to get across the inability to speak that Dib has. LET'S BEGIN!
Dib narrowed his eye as he raised the device high above his head. One eyelid worked just fine the other usually green was purple and swollen shut. His fingers twitched over the smooth metal as he mentally prepared. NOW! Did spun and dropped his arm so the device face the target, "Dib!" a high pitched but dark voice screamed, he froze, "Cut the dramatics! You're just blow-drying a sidewalk!" Dib's shoulders dropped. Gaz always had to ruin his fun. But the former little girl robot thing was wrong, Dib wasn't "just blow-drying a side walk" he was blow-drying a street! Dib made a face and clicked on the device. It hummed loudly as hot air poured from it. He glanced around at the peculiar sight. And what a sight it was to behold. Even odder from an outside perspective. Anyone walking on the street would see a bruised green boy using a blow dryer on the street. They would also see a robot on its knees using a smaller portable hair dryer and a small girl staring directly into the sun. Finally they would see a grotesquely large headed boy glaring at all of them. Of course no one did walk by. Not a soul. Even the houses near by seemed deserted these odd children were all alone. The large headed one shook with rage and finally shouted, "HOW LONG ARE YOU HUMANS GOING TO TAKE?" The green boy glared right back,
"Bell if boo helped a libble we could go fasser!" His swollen lip had gone down but he still couldn't handle most "y"s and "t"s. The big headed one just made a sound of disgust as though it were out of the question that he should dirty his hands. Dib focused his attention back on drying. One thing that would keep his spirits up was to know that Zim would soon be back in his body and feeling the pain left over from Gaz's assault. Dib took a few steps back he examined the area. They had dried about five feet by three feet. To do the spell he needed more. Dib looked back over at his idle enemies. Zim was just standing there with his arms crossed impatiently watching the two work and his sidekick the used-to-be robot was just sitting there slurping on a suck monkey. Dib couldn't help but smile just a little it was such a rare thing to see his sister grinning so pleasantly. Even though a robot occupied her personality it was so odd to see her so utterly content. The girl that sat on the sidewalk didn't think she was smarter then everybody else and wasn't addicted to video games. She wasn't angry at the world and she wasn't violent. He walked over to the girl. It slurped on the beverage. It seemed so happy…so affected by the world. He found himself envying it.
"Hey," he reached out to tap its shoulder when the girl spun around and grabbed his hand and threw him. Dib groaned with pain. Even with out Gaz's soul her body still had the need to abuse him! Without thinking he jumped up and screamed, "INSOLENT FOOL! YOU'LL FEEL MY WRATH! Oh how you will feel it!" then he proceeded to go into an insane laughing fit. This was too wrong! He dropped to the sidewalk, "It doesn't make sense!" he said out loud, "I don't cackle and rant! Well I rant but its different. And Gaz doesn't have that sort of insane energy! That's you! And as far as I've seen you're not violent! It just doesn't make sense!" he shook his head. And rested it in his hands. Zim stormed over to them to demand that Dib get back to work. He opened his mouth but was cut off by Gir, "I KNOW!" the former little robot and now little girl squealed. The giddy being laughed happily.
"Wha do you know?" Dib asked
"I know why we acting funny! Master screams so master's body screams! Scary girl hurts so I's hurtful!" they just stared at the robot finally Dib spoke, "Ib makes perfecd sense…Da (The) body grows used boo ba (to the) repepipive (repetitive) activities it usually performs and even with a differend soul da body still does dese dasks!" he paused, "How'd you figure bat (that) out?" the bright eyed robo-girl looked him in the eye and shouted, "WAFFLES!" Dib raised an invisible eyebrow, "Okay… le's geb back to work. Zim! Boo help too!" he thrust a hair drier at the pale skinned Irken. Zim growled but began to do his part and dry.
Nothing interesting happens over the next ten minutes so I'm not going to waste my energy typing about how the three (simi) competent being got down on their hands and knees and worked together. I wont go into the tedious details of the clouds departing and the sun began beating down on their backs. How after only a few minutes Zim began having to use his entire arm to wipe the sweat from Dib's over sized head. About seven minutes in to the work Dib noticed that the swelling on the Irken lips went down. Even though the cuts were still open and the bruises still clear it was obvious that Irkens heal at an extraordinary rate. It was an important piece of information for anyone who planned on waging war on a species. (Here is where things get interesting.) Glaring down at the tool Zim decided that he was above such work, "Pathetic humans are meant for this type of labor! Not the Irkens' finest Invader!"
"Your right Zim." Dib said who had over heard Zim ranting out loud (as Dib's body does). Dib narrowed his Irken eyes at Zim; "Your planet's finest would be too good for this, but your not! So stop complaining and work!" Zim threw aside the dryer, "Miserable human!" he spat angrily.
"Evil space monster!" Dib retorted. In union both foes eyes narrowed. They lunged at each other. The two tackled each other to the ground and began to roll around. They were evenly matched; they were both idiots fighting like children on a playground. Of course Dib being a child had an excuse for such behavior, Zim had none. They swung their weak limbs at each other and attempted to pin the other to the ground. Neither noticed Gaz who held the book in one silver hand and a piece of chalk in the other. As soon as they rolled off an area and shoved each other forward Gaz would trail with the chalk drawing the stars, circles, and loopy letters from an ancient langue. She stepped back and examined her work. She erased a tail sticking out from the circle. It was perfect or at least good enough for the spell. Looking around Gaz spotted Dib and Zim rolling around near the center of the chalk drawing. She then walked over to Gir and dragged him in to the circular pattern. The skirmish between human and alien ended. Zim had won. He smiled smugly at his helpless opponent.
"Do you now see who is the superior, human?" Zim asked enjoying a victory. He didn't often win and he was enjoying himself thoroughly. Dib glared up at him and opened his mouth to tell Zim that he had only won in a human body when he heard a dark high-pitched voice mumbling. He turned his head. Gaz stood on the boarder of a circle Dib had had no idea was created around him. She stood there with her hand raised to the sky. As she spoke the sky darkened, this was it!
"Dark lord the were quick, dark lord thy did the trick! But your trick was not what I wanted to pick! I Implore! Take back the gift! Fix it, fix it! And make sure you mix not the souls! This time aim well when thy HIT!" Gaz finished loudly. This spell had to work or else she would just kill Dib and everyone else who messed up her life. They waited as before. the calm was frightening. In his head Dib counted down, "four, three, two…" he braced himself for what was coming, "ONE!" his mind screamed.
The winds started blowing. They thrashed to would be spell casters around with greater intensity then before. Zim had his eye squeezed shut and his teeth gritted. The wind picked him up and threw him several feet. After less then a full second of stillness Zim was picked up and tossed face first into the street. With no weight other then his own to hold him down Dib was also tossed around violently. The flesh on his arms, chest, back, and face tore as he tumbled over the concrete. Fighting the intense winds Dib managed to push his arms up to cover his face. This was different! The winds from the first spell had been bad but this was horrible. Through the gloves he could feel warm sticky blood from his cheeks nose where he had bashed into the cement flowing freely. Gaz's soft human body was in no better condition. She was so small and light that the winds carried her like a plastic bag. She would raise several feet into the air and fall down ripping open her soft flesh. The rough ground tore through their faces like tissue paper. Blood poured out of every bit of exposed flesh and some still covered by untorn clothing. Gir's body despite being metal was not immune to the damage. As the tiny robot fell straight down on it's face one of his glass eyes shattered and the back of his head crumbled on contact. The door on his chest had long since fallen off. Then it happened, just as before they were lifted by a much less violent wind up into the darkness of the blackened sky. Dib's eyes were closed he knew the lightening was coming and didn't need to see it. Just as he predicted the white lightening shot down entering through the mouth and eyes of the powerless bodies. Their mouths snapped shut. Dib could feel the power bouncing around inside his body. It was invading every cell from the top of his scalp to the tips of his toenails. Something odd happened. Instead of seeing the darkness behind his eyelids Dib saw memories. It was like watching a movie on rewind! He saw everything that happened over the course of the day. Everything up to the point were he was suspended in the air just like this! The memories were coming with his soul. They were being emptied out of the body. Then his eyes and mouth snapped open. The blue essence of an earth boy lingered in the Irken eyes a moment then shot up in to the sky just as the purple, aqua, and red did. Two did not spiral in the clouds this time, they knew where to go. The light fell like a tidal wave diving into each body deliberately and forcefully. The purple light bore into Gaz's eye and mouth, the aqua dropped into Gir's broken face. But unlike the two others the red and blue circled each other looping around as though fighting. The lights bashed against each other as though determined to knock the other down. Then they in union both fell back, the red in to the Irken and the blue into the human. Everything stopped and they dropped to the ground. None moved. They were not paralyzed but merely unconscious. The clouds disappeared, faded away leaving only the setting sun in the sky.
A hand twitched. The bloody fingers flexed slowly. A soft groan escaped their lips. So carefully and slowly they raised themselves enough to lean on their battered elbows. Eyes still closed they lifted their over sized head. Taking a shaky breath Dib opened his eyes. Parts of his vision were clear others were blurry. He moaned unhappily because he knew why, "Great, my glasses are broken!" then it hit him like a shoelace to the face. "Glasses!" he exclaimed joyously. Dib sprang into a sitting position ignoring the pain. He looked down at his wonderful human body. His shirt, jacket and pants were tore and he was bleeding profusely but nothing could diminish his joy he was himself again! Looking around he spied Gaz laying on the sidewalk where she had landed. She was laying on her stomach with her face turned away from him. He took a chance and crawled over to his sleeping sis. She wasn't moving except for the rising and falling of her abdomen as she breathed. The clothes Gir had chosen had been shredded as bad as Dib's though nowhere near to the extent of their torn flesh. (A/N: This morning I was running and fell on concrete. So I know their pain! My poor hands and knee!) An entire sleeve was missing and part of the back. Her exposed legs had been scrapped badly from the street. Even the flesh covered by clothing was damaged. He touched her shoulder lightly. She moaned and instinctively said, "Go away Dib!" then she sat up and looked at her bloody pale human hands! She a human again! She looked up at Dib with her huge chestnut eyes. He smiled an apology sort of grin at his sister. Slowly she raised a shaky hand. He just sat there watching her hand as it trembled moving closer to him. He should have dodged, ran, or at least moved! Gaz's fingers wrapped around his neck and squeezed. Dib squeaked before all air movement was put on halt by his closed airway. Using his neck she hoisted herself into a sitting position and whispered in his ear, "Once I stop bleeding and the street stops spinning I'm going to make you suffer for this." With that she dragged her self to her feet and staggered into the house not even bothering to shut the door. On the other side of the street Zim lay under the robot that had fallen on top of him. He groaned and pushed the robot off. Gir had also awakened. He looked down at his robot body and hugged himself, "I was a real little boy! I can only see half of the world now!" Dib cocked an eyebrow at the robot's odd statements. Gir jumped to his feet not seeming to notice the extent of the damage until one of his legs fell off. And still he only had a vague feeling that something may be wrong.
Crawling in the most menacing way he could pull off Zim dragged himself over to Dib, "Earth monkey…you're doomed. I can't even think of a good enough threat to tell you how doomed you are!"Zim shook his hand dramatically and watched it as he spoke, "ZIM SHALL DESTROY ALL THAT IS GOOD IN YOUR LIFE!" Zim glanced around. He was alone with the exception of his robot. He looked around and saw Dib's front door shut.
"Oh, eh. LATER I'll destroy you later! Or…something! Eh, whatever. GIR! Let's go home!" Zim staggered into the sunset carrying a robot leg and chest door as a blissful aqua eyed Gir crawled along side him.
THE END…
