Zim collided with the far wall, a big hole in his chest and a glazed look in his eyes. The small Irken hit the floor, and let out one last strangled gasp, before collapsing in a lifeless heap.
Red and Purple stared at Zim's body, which was now sitting in a puddle of Irken blood, with wide eyes.
Purple shifted his gaze to Red.
"He… saved me…" He whispered.
"By Irk… He did…" Red muttered in response.
We were wrong about him… very wrong… Purple thought.
Sleet growled. "Meddlesome fool. Oh well. It was only a momentary delay of your departure from this world old friend."
Sleet pressed the button again. Just as the beam of blue light was leaving the cannon, both Purple and Red disappeared, and the beam struck the ground, leaving a big hole in the floor.
"What the…?" Sleet spun around, looking for them.
Before Sleet knew what was happening, Red and Purple had swooped down from the ceiling, knocked the cannon's remote out of his hand and pinned him to the floor.
Sleet looked up at Purple with the greatest look of detest.
"I don't know what the head of Alcotech. did to you, but it won't stop me from obtaining the revenge I so rightly deserve!" He hissed.
Purple looked at Sleet strangely. "What?"
Sleet didn't answer. He kicked Purple in the stomach and scrambled after the remote to his cannon.
Red dove forward to stop him, but Sleet reached the remote before he could, and pressed the button.
The cannon spun around, and fired straight at Red.
The beam hit him square in the back, just below his pak, and Red tumbled to the ground.
Purple screamed, and ran to his friend.
"Red… Red... Please don't die…" He cried, his tears falling on Red's face.
"P… Pur…" Red breathed, before collapsing on the floor.
Sleet smiled.
"No… Red don't leave me…" Purple whispered through tears.
Sleet started laughing at Purple's tears. "Don't worry old friend. You'll join him soon enough."
Purple's eyes glinted, and he spun around to face the laughing Irken behind him.
Sleet's laughter died in his throat when he saw the look on Purple's face. Purple's eyes were darkening as the tears fell from them.
One last tear fell, and landed on Red's face.
The air crackled, and Sleet stepped back, covering his face with his arm in defence.
When he looked back at Purple, he gasped.
Purple's eyes had darkened to jet-black, and the rage that was shining through them was almost enough to kill Sleet right there.
Almost.
"You've taken everything from me." Purple hissed. "No way to bring it back… But I can…"
Sleet swallowed.
"…Take it from you."
A/N: Sorry it's short, but that's just how it turned out. Are we liking the story?
