Everyone was shocked the 325 could be downed so quickly, even with a tranquilizer gun. Kumi looked up at 732. "You won't get away with this…" she hissed.

"Oh, but I already have…" said 732 right after he shot Kumi in the neck. She fell limp almost immediately on top of the building.

"Monster!" shouted Alter Dib.

"Yes, but I'm not the one you should fear!" said 732, throwing down two flash explosives. And, of course, everyone had to be stupid and get blinded. But when all is said and done, they were defeated, and now lost the two strongest people of their team…When the flash had dissipated and they could see again, this was quite evident.

"Damn, he took Kumi and 325…" said Alter Zim, rubbing his very sore eyes.

"Now what do we do?" asked Alter Dib.

"You were spying on us!" shouted Dib, clearly offended.

"That doesn't matter right now, earth monkey…" said Zim.

"But they were spying on us! They saw everything!" said Dib again. Zim didn't seem to care much.

"So what if they saw us? It doesn't change anything…" said Zim coolly.

Dib's jaw dropped and his eye twitched compulsively. "Spying! Invasion of privacy!"

"You care too much about what other stink pigs think…" said Zim. He looked at the top of the building where the Alters were. "Come down here, we need to their base and do it quick."

A roar-like scream echoed throughout the labs of Evil Dib's base. It came again, more pained than ever. You could also hear yelling and screaming, but it was muffled and nothing could be made out.

After rounding a few corners and going through a locked door, you could see Kumi and 325 chained to the wall. Evil gir was stabbing, shocking, burning, etc. Kumi, in order to get her to talk about her friends. 325 was still out cold and his head hung down.

"I know their planning something. Just tell me and I will spare your life!" shouted Evil Dib, pacing around the room. 732 sat happily on a specially designed perch in the room. A purr-like growl could be faintly heard as he watched his prey got tortured.

Kumi growled a deep throaty growl that didn't seem to be possible for her. (Kind of like a lion growl coming from a house cat….)

"You bastard, I'll never tell you anything." she coughed.

"You feel that they are part of your pack? Heh, your kind defends their pack until the very end…It's sickening…" spat Evil Dib. He motioned for Evil gir to zap her again. "Still won't talk, eh?" He shook his head disappointedly. He walked over to Kumi and looked at her. "For a demon, you're quite beautiful…" Evil Dib placed a hand on her chin and lifted it up. She promptly bit him and refused to let go, only another zap from Evil gir got her to let go. "Bitch!" he shouted and backhanded her with his robotic hand. This left a very large blue-black bruise on her cheek. However, his right hand was bleeding heavily and was just shredded. "take good care of our guests, gir." growled Evil Dib. "732, make sure he doesn't kill them before I can…" 732 purred in response and kept an eye out from his perch.

Evil Dib left the lab and went into the next nearest one. The blood threw the entire lab into a frenzy. His hand was quickly stitched up, disinfected, and bandaged. He was then sent off to his room for recovery. Once he got to his room, he sat on his bed and balled his hand into a fist until it started bleeding through the bandages.

"I will kill them all, but not until I get at least one of those Zims…" muttered Evil Dib. Once he got one of them in his clutches, his plans will finally take shape. "It won't be long…not long at all…"

"Anyone got any ideas?" asked Alter Dib.

"Can't we just go in there, all guns blazing?" asked Zim.

"That would be a really good plan B…" said Alter Zim.

While the three of them were talking it over, Dib was hard at work. He was feverishly typing on his lap top. (He apparently takes it everywhere he goes…) He was trying to hack into the base's main frame. He had gotten past most of the fire walls and almost to the plans for the base. A few more minuets and was through. "Got it!" he said, everyone rushed over to him.

"Not bad, you were able to get through to the main frame." Commented Alter Dib.

"Yeah, and it seems there are a few passages of entry…" said Dib, bringing them up. "The main door, then a few side ones that are less heavily guarded…But either way, we'd still have to get to the labs…"

"Why the labs? Why not the dungeon or something?" asked Alter Zim.

"Because I couldn't locate one…" said Dib, starting to type again. "It appears the structure goes about 20 storied underground…and the labs are on the second lowest level all the way up to the third highest. So we would have to go through and sweep every lab level to find them…whatever be decide to do, it won't be easy…"

Zim had been standing slightly behind Dib, a little to his right. He was watching over hi shoulder, then something caught his eye. He laid a clawed hand on Dib's shoulder and pointed to something on the screen. "What's that?" he asked. Dib clicked on it and pulled up the file. He started reading over it and his eyes widened.

"I think you guys should come take a look at this…" said Dib. The Alters crowded behind him and read over his shoulder.

Alter Zim gasped, "The Tallest are still alive?"

"Yes, but I don't think you should be getting all giddy yet. They're under the experimental file." said Dib, "Who knows what their doing to your leaders…" He clicked on another file that said classified. More firewalls…Fun…Dib mowed down the first three firewall, but had some difficulty with the last six. He finally broke though the last one. The file said 'DNA Experiments – Irken Development'. When he clicked on it, he got an error.

"What the hell?" said Alter Dib, reading the Proxy Error.

"Shit!" shouted Dib as his computer started to spark and sizzle. He threw it off his lap and it nearly exploded when it hit the ground. 'Computer virus…"

"Now what do we do?" asked Zim.

We go in: said Alter Dib, "This won't be easy…And…We may not live to see the end of this…"

"At least we'll die in glory." smirked Zim.

'I'm not planning on dieing…' thought Dib. 'You're all crazy.' He got up and brushed the dust off his behind. "Let's get going then."

(Sorry for another cliff hanger and a short chapter. The creative juices just aren't flowing like they should…Plus I have to keep my other two stories in check. The Monster you all keep hearing about, but never see, and School Days. Sadly, I think this one is starting to come to a close….I'm just not too sure when yet. But once I get this one done, I can work more on my other two. And suggestions are greatly welcomed. Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this chapter.)
