(I finally collected my thoughts and decided to finish this chapter! Thank you JMU Band Camp! OMG, I'm so pissed….I went to JMU for 3 days and practiced my hands off and walked all over the friggin campus all for not! Our concert was canceled due to weather difficulties, damn thunderstorms. If they were smart they would have just held it indoors like last year…Rawr, now I'll have to go there, but it's all good. Anyway, another short chapter, sorry about that. Still it's something….some more action stuff and more Evil Dib spotlight. Zim haters might hate one part in this chapter but too bad for you! And I might go back later and redo the last two chapters. After I read them a few times, I found a lot of bad stuff and mistakes and other things that didn't quite add up. Yes, I meant to say martyr…sorry about my horrific spelling….Andalitebandit-6, when you're scared to death of thunderstorms, you become unaware of anything that's going on outside yourself…at least that's how I am, I'm like a phobic….but like I said, I'll probably go back and fix everything. And the whole rain thing will be explained in this chapter! And yeah…..I used your idea and I'll go back and fix that to….Moonlight the Hedgehog thank you! I'm glad you like it! Mystery Reviewer, burning Sims is quite fun neh? Any who, on with the story!)
I'm going to go back before the rain and catch up with Evil Dib, since I seemed to have neglected him in the last chapter….Lets see….If I remember correctly, he was riding his motorcycle. Ok, let's go from there, shall we?
Evil Dib was riding along when the rain started to fall. He pulled over to the side and put on sun glasses, a bandanna that was tied just above his nose so that it hung the length of his face, (put on upside down so the point covers his chin. Random fact: Bikers sometimes do this when it's really cold or raining and they don't want to bother with a full faced helmet.) and full fingered gloves. He continued to ride until he found a suitable building to take shelter out of the rain.
He sat down against a wall near his bike. The rain wasn't as painful against his skin as it was against his memories. He touched the cybernetic part of his face. His features changed from sadness to anger. He slammed his robotic fist against the wall, making an indent and cracking it.
"It's all his fault…If only he hadn't retaliated…" he muttered. Evil Dib had been in this world nearly a year now, and these Alters still weren't dead. And they were the reason… "Bastards, all of them…."
His mind wandered to when he first came to this world. H didn't look like he did now, not really anyway. He did however have his robotic arm, that he stole form another Alter Universe Dib, just before Evil Dib killed him. The arm was made of strong alloys not known to him. Irken technology he assumed. Still, it hadn't broken or malfunctioned yet, so it was built to last. Strong Irken technology…come to think of it, he had killed that worlds Zim also, for the life of him he didn't know why he did that, kill both Dib and Zim. Once he had killed the Tallest in his world, he realized it was a mistake. He now needed to keep the Tallest from this world and a handful of Irkens for his plans. His experiments had been going well until a fatal strand of DNA kept popping up in the test subjects. That's why there was so many failed experiments…but getting back to the point…
Before he came to this world, his face looked like it should, cybernetic free. He hunted down this world's Zim and Dib. He was able to capture Zim for a time, until this world's Dib came to rescue him. He blew up the lab that Zim was in, as well as part of his face. He was lucky to get back to his own world alive, so his father could save him…He was given cybernetic parts to directly attach to his brain, but before that could happen, what was left of that side of his face had to heal. That was a painful experience, but not as painful as loosing Zim.
He looked outside and the rain was beginning to stop. He remembered that it was raining on that day to, they day he became part cyborg, part human with a bloodlust to match. He had learned quickly that the rain from this world was toxic to humans, due to its increased erosion and decomposing state. But strangely enough, it didn't harm the demons or Irkens who he transported here. He decided to use Zim's paste substance against the rain and it worked. This just happened to be a one up on the Dib from this world, for he hadn't discovered it yet.
Evil Dib looked outside once more and the rain had stopped. HE put all of his gear back on and started on back to his base. There was much to be done and time was running out…
When he walked into the main hallway from the garage he was swarmed by scientists worried about his health.
"Get away from me! You are doing me more harm to my health than the rain!" said Evil Dib angrily. But they didn't even hear him, and they continued to swarm him. Evil Dib could see 732 pushing his way through the crowd. 732 forced his way through the scientist, occasionally throwing a few that wouldn't move for him. When he got to Evil Dib, 732 picked him up and placed him on his back, then sheltered Evil Dib with his wings and pushed back through the mob.
732 took Evil Dib to a fairly secluded part of the labs, then set him down and handed him Dib's jacket.
"It's all I was able to get. These new Alters posed a greater nuisance than expected…" said 732.
"I see…" said Evil Dib, "Should have expected that, them being younger than the originals from this world…." He looked at the jacket. It was worn and dirty, but the leather was soft. "Take this to G-lab, have them find out as much as they can."
732 nodded and took back the jacket, then headed for G-lab. Evil Dib stood there for a while, then headed off to his own business.
After the Chlorophorm fiasco, and Zim and Dib swore they didn't remember anything, they all prepared to head to Evil Dib's base.
"Alright, we're going to go through some iffy territory, so when we say be quiet, for the love of Pete, be quiet!" said Alter Dib, making sure they understood very, very clearly.
"Yay! Weer all gonna die!" chirped one of the girs, bouncing around happily.
Alter Dib sighed and closed his eyes, "We're all doomed…"
325 rested a clawed hand on Alter Dib's shoulder, "We should leave."
"Ok people, let's go!" said Kumi, virtually shoving every one out the door, "You heard the man, move it!" She was finally able to get everyone out the door, then shut the door behind her. They headed out, the Alters leading the group. Both girs were occupied with their respected Zim's antenna.
Walk, walk, walk…seemed like they were walking forever before someone said anything.
"Ok, we're about to go through Tigre territory, if you see anything, shut up and walk softly." said Alter Dib, right before they passed a very large stone with rather large claw marks in it. They passed many destroyed buildings with large claw marks, blood, and occasional dead body parts of something lying around.
And here's were the fun begins. (so says the evil plotting author) When Dib looked over to his left, he saw giant sleeping lion/tiger/panther cat-things. And when he looked to his right, the same giant sleeping lion/tiger/panther cat-things.
And wouldn't ya know, the girs had to go and say something…
"Hi Deemins!" they seemed to shout out in unison. This woke up the sleeping Tigres.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" And for the hills they ran, lucky for them, only one decided to follow them…too bad it happened to be the Pride leader….One giant beast of a cat, the leader was all muscle, especially when it was running after them, and gaining fast.
"How the hell are we supposed to fight that?" cried Dib.
"Just have to wear it out until it gives up and goes back to its pride!" replied Alter Zim.
"And how long does that take?" questioned Zim, thinking when would be a good time to activate his spider legs.
"Uh…we aren't too sure…he usually destroys the drone before that happens…" said Alter Dib.
"That's just perfect! Peachy keen!" said Dib sarcastically.
"Well, I'm not going to run until it kills us all!" shouted Zim, "I'll stop it myself!"
"Zim, don't do it! You'll be ripped apart, if you're lucky!" shouted Alter Zim. Too late, Zim had already gotten out his spider legs and turned around to face the beast.
Zim charged at the beast, "He doesn't look so tough!" famous last words….The beast gave one major swipe of its giant, clawed paw (more of a backhand swipe) and hurled Zim hard into a nearby building. You could head the cement cracking right before Zim fell to the ground.
This was all to slow for Dib, he saw the entire thing in slow motion, from the time Zim hit the building to the time he hit the ground. When Zim hit the ground he bounced slightly, in a way that Dib could see Zim's faded eyes. Dull, faded eyes. Never a good sign with an Irken, or any creature for that mater.
"ZIM!" Dib ran over to Zim's side. Zim wasn't moving, but Dib could see Zim's back moving up and down. (Zim was on his stomach) "Well, at least he's still alive…" he said, even though inside he was really very happy that Zim wasn't dead.
"Get him out of here!" shouted Alter Zim, "We don't need you both down!"
"Ok!" said Dib, picking up Zim with one of Zim's arms around his shoulder and Dib's other arm around Zim's waist. 'He's gonna kill me later for this…' thought Dib.
Surprisingly, Zim was very heavy for his size. Dib never thought some one so spindly and thin could be this heavy…must be dead weight…or Zim's fat head…Dib was able to get Zim into an ally way so they could be fairly safe from the battle at hand.
Outside the ally way, Zim's gir was doing a really good job of keeping the Tigre distracted…popping in and out of its mane in different places and confusing the Tigre real good, long enough for Alter Dib and Alter Zim to tackle it. They had studied the Tigre to know that if they just tire it out, it will go back to its pride. How do they do that? Set both girs loose on the Tigre and wait for it to give up and go home. Of course, just one gir would be enough to tire out a normal in just a few minuets, so it wouldn't take long for two to string out a giant hell cat.
Pretty soon, the Tigre gave up and went back to its pride. The Alters had gone to the top of one of the buildings right next to the ally Zim and Dib were in. They were watching the site of the two girs until they finished, then returned to the Alters. The Alters promptly disengaged them, so they could watch over Zim and Dib without getting noticed. It was good timing because Zim was starting to wake up.
(Another chapter over…and the next one will be posted soon….hopefully. But I hoped you liked it, again I'm sorry it took so long to update. Damn monkey was at my thoughts again….But thanks to all my band friends at JMU I got passed it! In other news, I'M GETTING AN NEW CAR! AND MY DRIVERS LICENCE!)
