Thanks for the reviews. I seem to be getting addicted to is nice. Anyway I'm happy on how this is turning out, here is chapter 3!
Zel's POV:
I ran to the base and locked the door behind me. I always had to lock the door…I hated it! Mostly because one time I wasn't paying attention and accidentally closed the door on one of my antennae, and that hurt. Even thinking about it causes some numbness.
I looked at the couch, there was Gir, watching TV. I smiled as I took out the waffle mix out of the store bag. "Hey, Gir, look what I got!" I said waving it in front of his face.
"AH! GIMMIE! I want waffle!" he yelled.
"No, Gir. I'll only give it to you if you do my chores."
"OK!" he yelled as he ran off. Dad then came out of the underground lab.
"Tomorrow is Monday." he said with a smile. This made me nervous; He only smiles when he's thinking of something evil.
"And…so what? It's Monday."
"What do the FILTHY humans do on Monday?"
"Um….Sleep until Tuesday?"
"The Human larva go to school."
"Yeah…so- no. NO!" I yelled in shock. He was going to force me to go to that horrible earth school. I had heard terrible stories about it. I've heard that school bores their captives until they are within an inch of death and then eat their brains! And if they escape they are given so much paperwork that they have to work for months to finish it all! And the worst part is….you learn! "I'm not going! You can't make me!"
Zim just smiled "WAH HA HA!"
Next morning:
Despite me trying to get out of going to school, here I was in my disguise. I walked to the kitchen to make a sandwich for breakfast, but Gir showed up and stuffed a waffle in my mouth. I spat it out and stared coughing. "GIR! I could have choked! "
"You need some waffles!"
"I've had enough of your waffles. Since I bought you the waffle mix you've made waffles 69 times! I'm sick of waffles!" I yelled. Gir looked at me and frowned. He looked like he was about to cry. I started thinking of how I shouldn't have yelled at him. I grabbed another piece of a waffle and started eating it. "See, Gir. Yummy! Now go make more waffles." I said. Gir giggled then ran off to make more waffles for me and Zim who was already at the table.
"Hey, Dad." I said sitting next to him.
"Ahem." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"All mighty and best Invader ever, Zim."
"Hi, Zel. Ready for our mission? You do remember why we are on this STINKING PLANET OF FILTH!"
"Yeah, yeah. Blend in with the hideous life forms, find the planet's weaknesses, then blow the planet up, or something."
"Exactly, now off to the learning center of human filth!" he yelled. I sat there confused. I had no clue what he was talking about. "Skool, Zel, Skool."
"Oh, I knew that, I was just …testing your brain meats!"
Skool:
School was a new thing for me. On Irk I only went to Military school. I always hated it, but I didn't complain. I passed the written exam at top of my class, but I failed my training mission. I almost passed; all I needed to do is shoot and 'kill' a robotic dummy. I couldn't. Even tough I told myself that it was just a dummy; I couldn't find the strength to shoot it. After that all the other students made fun of me, teased me, and called me names. I didn't care. I say honoring life is not a weakness and disregarding it is not strength.
"Yet another student has joined the class. Another child growing up to be NOTHING!" yelled the teacher, she scared me. Everyone seemed to call her Ms .Bitters. "Now YOU!" she yelled pointing at me, I jumped out of fright. "Introduce yourself to the class."
"H-hi….c-class." I said nervously. I was thankful to see that no one seemed interested, everyone just looked bored. Some students were asleep, others were doodling on notebooks and desks, and a few were staring at the clock, probably trying to manipulate time. I looked to the right corner, I saw Dib. Even though he was my friend he didn't seem to be paying attention at all, he was staring out the window.
"Anything else you wish to say, before you go to your desks and NEVER talk again?" asked Ms. Bitters.
"I'm Zel. Oh yeah, and Zim over there is my da-Ow." I stopped because Zim threw an eraser at my head. "He's my Da-da-Deadly Stranger! That's it! I've never seen him before in my life! Goodbye!" I yelled running to an empty seat next to Dib.
"Smooth, Zel. Real Smooth." said Dib.
"Shut up." I said.
Agent Dark Bootie's POV:
I grew interested and decided to check out the two unknown organisms. I took Agent Nessie and we headed to the Skool where Dib reported that the "aliens" went to learn about us. We quicklyhid in some bushes outside where we couldn't be spotted. We crawled along until we got to the right class. He and I looked in through the window; we saw normal activity, kids sleeping while the teacher blabbers away.
"Why are we here? Mothman is insane!" cried Agent Nessie.
"Yes, he is, but I believe that he might be telling the truth this time." I said.
"What makes this time different?"
"I found evidence."
"What evidence?"
"Never mind. It would take to long to explain." I said peering through the window. Dib was the first thing I saw, he was talking to some green girl. She looked odd; I wondered if this was Zel. I looked further in and saw Zim. He was also green-skinned. I looked toward Nessie. He had his handgun out.
"Don't." I said. "It's not time." We waited until school ended and followed the 2 green kids home careful not to get spotted. We waited about an hour outside the house so they couldn't suspect anything. Then we ran toward the hideous looking home.
"Hey, What are you two doing here!"
I jumped and looked back. "Dib!"
"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing here?" he asked. I looked toward the green house. Dib's eyes lit up with joy.
"You believe- You think they're…" started Dib. He looked so happy. I told him he could come along if he didn't get in the way. We headed toward the door.
Inside, Zel's POV:
Gir and I were watching the scary monkey show like we always did at this time. I took off the lenses and the rest of disguise, I didn't need it, and I was safe inside here. Zim came up out of the underground lab.
"Hi master!" yelled Gir. Zim looked back in silence.
"We need to fix his intelligence chip." he said grabbing Gir by the wrist.
Suddenly the front door broke open. It startled everyone as it brought up a ton of dust. When the dust started to settle I started to see the figure of three humans.
"Surrender alien scum." yelled Dib. Even tough I couldn't see him clearly I immediately recognized his voice.
"Hey, Dib." I said calmly but then my tone of voice changed. Next to Dib I saw two other men I had never seen before, and they were holding some type of earth weapon. My fears grew worse as I realized that none of us had our disguises on.
"So Dib, you brought along your little friends." said Zim.
"Dad, don't edge them on." I said pulling him back. I finally realized what those earth weapons were. They were called guns; I had seen them on TV before, in movies. I had also seen what kind of damage they can wield.
"Hah. I would've thought an advanced race had put up more of a fight, but I guess you proved me wrong. Time to finish you two." one of the men said.
"Threats. That's good. Now let's go capture Zim!" yelled Dib. But the two men ignored him. "Hello, I said 'Let's-"
"I heard you. And what we're saying is not a threat. It's what we're going to do. For the sake of the earth, these two creatures must be eliminated." said one man as they both aimed their guns.
"Wait! You can't do this." Dib yelled. They both fired. I closed my eyes, waiting for the taste of death, but nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Zim lying on the floor in a pool of blood in front of me.
