Chapter 9 Dib to the Rescue

Me: This one was easy to think up

Lard Nar: Will SOMEONE make her stop singing

Me: laughs she's not going to stop

Lard Nar pouts

Me: Read and Review!

I sat there looking at Lavender and Gir. I tried to turn Lavender back on, but when it didn't work I took a look at her. I opened her head and noticed something. "They took it out.' Purple looked at me, "Took what out?" I sighed, "Her main part without it, she'll never work. They probably took Gir's too." Zim noticed I had the computer out, "Ali, why do you have that thing out?" I looked at him, "I called Dib for help." Zim wasn't happy to hear this at all, "We don't need that stinking...pig...face...human meat thing for help." I thought to myself, There he goes. Zim kept going, "Why would we need that spooty evolutionary blunders help when we've got the greatest military technology in the galaxy!" Purple and I looked at each other then back at Zim. Zim still didn't shut up, "We don't NEED any help. We are the IRKEN ELITE!" I cut him off before he said anything else, "Zim..." He stopped, "Eh?' I crossed my arms and stared at him, "You're an idiot." Zim laughed, "You're just jealous. Look at you teem with jealousy." Man he's annoying, "Look, we need help...well, you do at least. But for the most part we need help."

Lard Nar caught my attention while he stood outside of the cell. He just laughed, "Don't even think about escaping." I rolled my eyes, "I can think about what ever I want. If I want to think about escaping, I will. If I want to think about beating you to a bloody pulp..." Purple's jaw dropped, he never heard me talk like that to anyone before. I glared at Lard Nar and finished my sentence, "I will." Lard Nar growled and walked away and I leaned against the wall with my arms crossed staring at the floor.

Purple went to my side and looked at me, "You okay Ali?" I looked up at him and tried to fake a smile, "I'm fine. Just a little stressed out that's all." Purple sat next to me bringing us to eye level and hugged me tightly. Whenever Purple hugged me it always gave me a sense of security. I laid my head on his shoulder and Zim leaned against the wall in the back of the cell. "I hope Dib gets here soon." Purple looked at me as I lifted my head up, "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get here soon." A Vortian walked by and muttered, "Love birds." I glared at him as he passed, then I heard a sound like someone dropping to the floor and footsteps running down the hall. "What was that?" I asked as I got up and went up to the cell bars to try and see who it was and I got a big smile when I saw who was coming.

"Dib! I'm so glad you're here!" We hugged through the bars. Dib looked at me smiling, "Hey Ali I...oh...hello Zim." Zim looked so angry his head might explode, "ALI! WHAT IS THAT SMELLY PIG DOG DOING HERE?" Dib and I spoke at the same time, "Rescuing." Zim crossed his arms, "That's STUPID!" He just pouted in the corner. Purple went to my side and looked down at Dib while Dib looked up at him. "So you're a human, huh? You're the one Zim has been having such a hard time with? Kinda puny aren't you?" Dib held a ring of keys in his hand, "Watch it space bo...space man. I've got the keys...so watch the smart mouth. I COULD just leave you here." Purple laughed, "Ali wouldn't let that happen." Zim just complained, "Stupid...human...MEAT...thing, taking glory." I rolled my eyes as Zim complained and Dib looked for the right key.

I grabbed Gir and Lavender as Dib unlocked the cell door. When the door opened, Zim took the opportunity and lunged at Dib pinning him down, "HA HA! I'VE GOT YOU NOW YOU…SAUSAGE!" Dib raised an eyebrow, "What is it with you and meat?" Purple sighed, "Knock it off, Zim." Zim looked at him, "But, he's the enemy." Purple looked down at Zim, "Tell me, do you know where the Vortians were nice enough to PARK your Voot?" Zim looked down, "um..." Purple smirked, "Thought so, until then, dib is our only hope of getting off this ship." Zim just complained some more and let Dib get back up. Dib smirked, "Wow, Zim. Even your leader thinks I'm more useful than you." Dib just laughed. Zim stood next to me and muttered under his breath, "His laugh stings like a thousand...stingy things...against my mind." I just giggled.

We ran down the hall while Dib explained that he used Tak's ship to get to us. I was just glad all this was almost over. I saw a hole in the wall of the ship and looked at Dib, "Could you have made the hole any bigger?" Dib blushed, "I couldn't find the way in." I sighed, "Ok, one more question. Will we all even fit in the Voot cruiser?" Dib thought for a minute, "It'll be a bit cramped but we should all fit." I shrugged, "Ok I guess." Turns out it was more cramped than we thought, considering Purples size. But it had to do, so we flew off. I saw a Vortian ship follow us. "Dib, you might want to speed it up." Dib turned to me, "What?" I looked at him, "There's a Vortian ship following us." Dib grabbed the controls, "Right." Then Dib looked at the computer, "Low power? Oh, come on!" I looked at him, "That's not good." The Vortian ship fired and we took the hit. We were sent spiraling to the Vortian planet. Dib tried to keep it steady, "Hold on, it's going to be rough." We crashed and I got stuck under the Voot cruiser as it flipped upside down. Purple looked under the Voot cruiser for me, "Ali, are you okay?" I lifted my head and looked at him, "I'm fine, but I'm stuck." Purple sighed, "Ok, wait a minute, we'll get you out." I coughed, "Ok." Purple was able to lift the Voot cruiser just enough for Zim and Dib to pull me out.

"My head hurts." Dib looked at me, "Looks like you bumped your head and gave yourself a cut." I looked at him, "Is it bleeding?" Dib shrugged, "Doesn't look like it." I sighed, "Ok, now what?" Zim turned to Dib, "What happened Dib?" Dib shrugged, "I don't know Zim. The ship ran out of power for some reason." We looked at Purple when he started screaming, he was grabbing his head and he looked like he was in pain. I ran to him, "Purple, are you okay?" The color in hiss eyes went dull and had absolutely no sign of feeling in them. I looked at him, "Purple?' He grabbed my arms and his grip was so tight that it hurt. "Purple, what are you doing? You're hurting, what's wrong with you?" He didn't say anything; Zim and Dib were hit in the back with something making them fall to their knees unable to move. Something wasn't right.

Me: It's getting good now.

Lard Nar: I got them now.

Me: Ok small fry.

Lard Nar: Don't call me that!

Me: Whatever, please review!
