Chapter 10 What's Going On?
Me: Yay, chapter 10.
Lard Nar: Did they really think they'd get away that easily?
Me: Obviously.
Lard Nar: I was being sarcastic.
Me: So was I. Please read review!
I winced as Purple's grip grew tighter, "Purple please. What's wrong with you?" I heard someone say, "So, how does it feel to have your best friend turn on you, Ali?" I looked up to see Lard Nar looking pretty pleased with himself. I glared angrily at him, "What did you do?" Lard Nar smirked and held up a chip, "A little invention of mine. I can control the mind of anybody and anything." I stared at him, "So you decided to start by using one on Purple." Lard Nar walked up to me, "You're smarter than you look Ali. And seeing how well my invention is working on him, I guess it's safe to use them on everyone else." I saw that two Vortians had Zim and Dib, "Leave them out of this." Lard Nar laughed, "Oh, but I would just love to see how they would react to the chip. It's pain less really." I struggled to try and make Purple let go, but his grip just got tighter, "Leave Zim and Dib alone." Lard Nar didn't listen, I started to cry, "Please, I'll do anything."
Lard Nar looked at me, "Anything?" I looked down, "Yeah, anything. Just leave them alone." He smirked and shook his head, "You can let go of her now." Purple let go of my arms, I looked at him and back at Lard Nar as he walked over to me, "To tell the truth, Ali. There's really nothing you can do. You're of no use to me, I know for a fact that you never graduated from the academy." I glared at him, "That doesn't matter, I don't care what happens to me as long as Purple is back where he belongs." I heard Zim yell, "Ali!" I looked at Lard Nar right in the eye, "I'll take whatever you throw at me." Lard Nar looked at me, "Even if I have you fight the ones you care about most?" I was a little afraid of the answer I was gonna get when I asked, "What are you saying?" Lard Nar laughed, "Let me put it this way, I'll have you fight Zim, Dib, and Purple. If you beat them, you're all free to go. But if you lose all four of you belong to me." My eyes went wide, "That's totally unfair." Lard Nar shrugged, "We could skip the whole thing and you belong to me right away." I sighed, "I can't fight Purple, he's my best friend. He's been like an older brother to me." Lard Nar rolled his eyes, "Then I'll just have him watch as you fight Zim and Dib." I looked down, "If it's the only way, then fine." Zim and were shocked as they both yelled, "What?" Zim yelled, "Ali. Are you listening to what you're saying?" Dib tried to reason, "I can't just force my self to fight you." Lard Nar cut in, "You won't have to." Zim and Dib looked at him confused. Lard Nar held up the chip again, "A couple of these will take care of that."
We were all put in a room and Lard Nar got rid of his control over Purple. "I'll let you have one more conversation while I get two chips ready." He closed the door and left. I just sat in the corner while Dib explained to Purple what just happened, and Zim came over to me, "Ali, do you have any idea what you just did?" I sighed, "Yeah, I'll have to beat you and Dib in a fight."
Zim rolled his eyes, "We're going to be forced to fight you Ali. Don't you realize you might not be able to beat us?" I started to cry, "There's no other choice, Zim. I have to do this if we're going to get out of here." Zim sighed, "The point is, I don't want to hurt you, Ali. Neither does Dib, and fighting both of us could get you killed." I looked up at him, my eyes filled with tears, "I don't want to hurt you guys either. But what other choice do I have? I have to do this, Zim." Purple and Dib came over. Purple sat next to me and held me close, "Dib told me what happened." I sighed, "You had no control over yourself. Now I have to win a fight against Zim and Dib to get out of here." Dib looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder, "I just can't believe you would do this, Ali." He turned to Purple, "And you're gonna have to watch." Purple sighed, "Ali, I have to agree with them on this one. It was a dumb decision." Zim crossed his arms, "You've done it again, Ali. You said something that's going to get you hurt in the end." Dib looked at him, "She's done something like this before?" Zim leaned against the wall, "Back at the academy, Lex always made fun of her. Then one day she said something to him without thinking that made him mad. So, some others along with him cornered her in a hallway and you can guess what happened." I looked at him, "I remember you being a part of that group, Zim." He smirked, "Maybe I was but that was then. We need to think about right now." Dib sighed, "There's really nothing we can do." Purple looked down, "I guess you'll have to fight. I wish there was something else we could do. I don't want to see you get hurt, Ali." I cried, "Why did all this have to happen? I wish this was just a bad dream and that any second I'll wake up." Zim shook his head, "Well it's not a dream Ali. It's really happening and you made the choice that might mark the end of all of us." He got sarcastic, "Congratulations Ali. I hope you're happy with the choice you made." Dib turned to Zim, "C'mon, Zim. I know you're mad but don't take it out on her. It's not her fault, none of us knew this would happen." Zim just pouted and leaned against the wall.
Then, Lard Nar came back, "Hope you're all ready. I'm going to enjoy this." I was brought to a room and one wall was just made of glass, the room looked like a penalty chamber. I was guessing Purple would be watching on the other side of the glass wall. Zim and Dib had been brought to another room. I was scared but I didn't show it. I stood in the middle of the room saying to myself, "I'm not scared, this is me without fear. Oh man, I'm doomed." After a few minutes, Zim and Dib were brought in. Now they were under Lard Nar's control, but it was different from when Lard Nar was controlling Purple. Rather than their eyes being bank of all feeling, they were filled with anger and hatred. The way they looked at me just tore me up inside. I looked at Purple standing at the other side of the glass wall. He didn't want to see me get hurt, I didn't want to do this either. I also saw Lard Nar standing there with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. I turned back to Zim and Dib as I heard Lard Nar say, "Have fun." This was it I had to fight.
Purple: She won't survive against those two.
Lard Nar: That's the plan.
Me: Ali's a tough girl.
Lard Nar: But is she tough enough?
Purple: She doesn't give up, not very easily.
Me: Next chapter will be up soon, please review..
