The shadow stepped foward revealing.. DIB? Yes, Dib, the weird paranormal investigator... ya.. okay, the story.. rite. ZIM snarled and lashed out only to be held back by Danny. The hybrid gave him a stern look which ZIM quickly calmed down afterward. He crossed his arms over his chest and sat down in a huff. However, Dib was astonished. "How did you do that? I barely can get him to shut up!" Dib ran up to ZIM and Danny only to stop. He looked over at Jimmy. "Oh, to answer your question, I want some questions answered and some samples to experiment with." He grinned evilly toward Danny's direction.
Danny smirked a little. He watched as Dib walked slowly as if testing to see if Danny would attack him. When he didn't see any movement from the ghost, he lunged at Danny and clung to him like a sticky note on wood or glass.. or something. Danny groaned and rolled his eyes, and turned intangible. Dib screamed as he fell to the ground, and looked around to see ZIM laughing at him uncontrollably, Timmy was laughing behind his hand, and Jimmy was just plain out laughing. Danny rematerialized in the same spot his was, and stared down at Dib.
"Do you honestly think that you, of all people, can touch me when I've dealt with ghost hunters and a ghost who is a hunter?" The ghost asked, uncrossing his arms, leaning over a little and staring at the paranormal investigator. Dib shrugged and looked at ZIM. "Worth a shot. But hey, can I take ZIM back with me? I'm sure he won't be of any help, so I'll just--" ZIM interrupted him by pushing him against the wall.
"Pathetic Earth-worm, do you not have a life of your own?" ZIM screamed in his face. Dib put on a thoughtful expression before frowning, then saying, "No, not really." ZIM snarled, and out of his pak came a gun or something, but it wasn't looking too good for Dib. Said big-headed boy's eyes widened. Suddenly, a hand appeared on ZIM's boot covered ankle and he disappeared. Dib fell to the floor in a heap, and just sat there. He rubbed his nose, and sneezed. Then looked around. "Hey! Where'd ZIM go!"
Let's just say the Irken Invader wasn't happy. He was intangible and invisible, and when he finally reappeared, he wasn't in the lab anymore. He looked up toward Danny and snarled again. "Why'd you do that, dead-human? I was just about to vaporize the Dib-monster!" Danny sighed and glanced back down at the little alien, which was surprisingly really light. "ZIM, don't you think you're being a little to hard on the kid?" ZIM snorted.
"Yeah, right. If there was ever a day when the Dib-monster ever left me alone, it'd be if he was in his death bed! I was just helping him get there!" Danny rolled his eyes. He set the Irken down, and when ZIM turned toward him, Danny had already changed back to a human. It was then he realized they were outside. ZIM quickly tried to cover up. "Oh no! I'm not wearing my disguise!" Danny sighed and smiled. The little alien was an amusing one, at that. He watched as ZIM ran behind his legs and pull his disguise out of his pak and quickly put it on. When he shifted his wig so it'd look balanced, he proudly walked around Danny and stood in front of him.
"Okay, Danny-human, why did you bring me here!" ZIM half screamed, gesturing wildly around him. Danny looked around, and he gasped when his eyes landed on a certain short bald guy with white hair, a lab coat, and goggles or something. ZIM turned around slightly to see what was the halfa's problem was, and glared. The guy walked foward and held out a gun, and whispered softly, "Let's see how far Jimmy gets without two of his helpers!" His whisper turned into a loud annoying laugh, which made ZIM raise a non-visable eyebrow, and Danny to drop his guard a little to stare half-lidded at the crazy man.
Then the odd man seemed to come back down to reality, and glared at the two. "I am Professor Calamitus! I will be.. uhm.." He paused to think of the word he was thinking of. Danny thought a minute. "Uh.. killing?" Calamitus shook his head. "No, not so drastic.." ZIM shoved a fist into the air.
"Torturing?" Calamitus once again shook his head. He then stomped his foot. "Oh, poodle nuts! I was hoping those classes would help!" He glanced at Danny. "You! Think of a.. um.." Danny rolled his eyes.
"Okay, look, this is just getting annoying. So either capture us or something--" Calamitus snapped his fingers. "That's it! That's what I was going to do! Capture you both so Jimmy will have to uhm..." ZIM snarled. "Oh, for the love of-- just capture us already!" It seemed pretty clear that ZIM was just pissed off to no end, and Danny just crossed his arms. Calamitus grabbed his gun he had earlier, and shot a dart at each of the two boys. He started to laugh when Danny fell down in a heap, but stopped suddenly when ZIM just stood there with the dart between some mechanical legs coming out of his pak.
"Look, ugly humaniod, either just take us to your lab or let us go! You are more annoying than the Dib!" ZIM yelled, walking toward the short bald man and poking his clawed hand at the guys chest. Professor Calamitus thought a minute, before walking over to Danny with ZIM walking behind him. The scientist pressed a button on his watch and they disappeared into thin air.
MEANWHILE BACK AT JIMMY'S LAB...
Timmy screamed his head off, and finally Gir shut up. The little robot had been singing the doom song for them and it was getting really, really annoying. Jimmy looked up from his crouching position on the floor, and lifted his hands from his ears. He side-glanced at Dib to see him about ready to strangle Gir. The android just giggled and then all of a sudden, looked around, and started to run in circles, screaming, "Master!" Timmy realized that he was looking for ZIM, and he glanced around to see that Danny and ZIM were nowhere to be seen. He walked over to Jimmy.
"Hey, Jimmy, where'd Danny and ZIM go?" Timmy gestured to the lab, and Jimmy looked around too. Then he looked at Dib who seemed to be chasing Gir around in circles. "How does ZIM put up with this robot?" Dib screamed, while trying to grab ahold of Gir's head. The robot seemed to be enjoying himself. Jimmy put on a thoughtful expression. "I don't know, last time I saw them, ZIM looked as if he were about to vaporize Dib, and Danny took ZIM out of the lab before he could hurt Dib." Dib stopped chasing Gir, and walked to Jimmy and Timmy. Gir seemed to realize he wasn't being chased anymore, and he stopped and sat on the floor sucking on his metal leg.
"Yeah, and why does ZIM listen that ghost? ZIM doesn't listen to anybody except his leaders!" Dib said, gesturing to where Danny had flown through the wall. Timmy thought a minute. "I don't know, probably because Danny is tall? ZIM said his leaders were tall, so maybe in ZIM's mind, Danny has some sort of authority over him." Dib's eyes widened. "Hey, yeah! Man, I wish I was tall!" Suddenly, Timmy's watch glowed for a second before fading back to a normal green/pink color. You could hear Wanda whispering to Cosmo, "No, Cosmo, ours is the one with the silly pink hat!"
Timmy glanced around, and covered up his watch with his hand before smiling. Dib continued, "I mean, ZIM probably doesn't listen to me because I'm his size." Jimmy thought for a minute before saying, "Yeah, I guess that makes sense. That's probably why he didn't want to say anything about his race." The boy genius looked at Timmy's watch for a second, before saying, "Hey, Timmy? Why are your fairy programs being so quiet?" Timmy glanced toward Dib, before looking back to Jimmy saying, "Uh.. I don't know." Dib suddenly gasped, and snatched Timmy's watch off his wrist.
"Hey! That's mine!" Dib pushed the 10-yr old back, looking over the watch. "Did you say.. fairies?" Dib asked, glancing at Jimmy. Jimmy nodded. Dib started shaking the watch so much, Wanda was getting sick, and you could hear Cosmo screaming in joy. Wanda had to poof out of her form and glanced around at everyone. Cosmo frowned before poofing to his fairy form and shaking his arms. "Let's go again! Let's go again!" Wanda glanced nervously at Dib before the kid suddenly pointed and gasped.
"Fairies! Those are fairies!" Dib lowered his finger, and started to breathe deeply. Timmy shook his head. Jimmy slowly nodded. "Those are his fairy programs, Dib." Dib suddenly became half-lidded. "You mean they're just holograms?" He asked in a monotone voice. Timmy thought a minute. "Uh.. Um.. Y.. yeah! Yeah! They're holograms!" He then whispered to Wanda, "I wish yall were holograms." Wanda waved her wand and became transparent looking, but she still retained her form along with Cosmo.
Dib sighed, and looked back to Gir. He smiled mischeviously. "Hey, Gir?" The robot flew in front of him, and stood with his tongue sticking out of his mouth. Dib raised an eyebrow, then continued. "Gir, do you have a file on ZIM? Like his personal secrets?" Gir nodded enthusiastically. Dib waited, then asked impatiently, "Well? Can I see it?" Gir suddenly became crimson. "Input correct password." Dib thought a minute before answering out weakly, "Uhm.. I am ZIM?" A cannon suddenly came out of Gir's head. "Incorrect password! You must be terminated!" Dib screamed and ran. Gir retracted his cannon, and sat down before pulling a pig out of his head and squeaking it.
Jimmy and Timmy stared and both raised an eyebrow before saying simutainiously, "Ookay..." Then beeping was heard signaling that a transmition was coming. Professor Calamitus came on the screen before chuckling. "Hello, Jimmy Neutron. I am here to say I've.. um.. I've um..." ZIM's voice came through. "Captured! The word is captured!" The scientist winced from the loud voice, and he continued. "Yes, captured your um.." ZIM suddenly appeared on the screen. "Oh, my Irk.. Okay, this human captured us.." ZIM trailed off, and Danny appeared on the screen finishing the Irken's sentence. "..So you would have to come to rescue us. But, he forgot one little detail." Danny whispered in a quiet voice so only they'd hear. His eyes were suddenly green. He smirked into the transmition and it suddenly ended. Everything was silent. Then Dib said quietly, "Ookay..."
AT PROFESSOR'S CALAMITUS'S LAB...
Danny groaned as he was being ushered into a glass tube along with ZIM. The Irken Invader was looking very angry at the moment being locked up. Professor Calamitus locked up the tube before saying, "I hope you enjoyed your uhm.." ZIM snarled for the hundreth time that day before running close to the edge of the glass tube, close to Calamitus's face, and said in a dangerous whisper, "Either shut up, and leave me alone, or learn to speak like a normal human worm-baby!" The Irken curled his claws at his side making ZIM appear like a very dangerous caged up animal that you do not want to mess with.
Calamitus's eyes widened, and he gulped, suddenly wondering the species of this hostage. He slowly walked away, never breaking eye contact with ZIM. When he finally left, Danny sat down, and put a hand on ZIM's shoulder which caused him to jump. The alien jerked around and sat down quickly. ZIM's eye started to twitch, and he rubbed it with his arm. He growled when his antennae started to twitch also. Danny eyed his suspicious behavior before realizing that his disguise was giving him a hard time. He sighed, and said, "Look, ZIM, since your disguise is bothering you, why don't you take it off?" ZIM glared, and slowly took off his wig and contacts and putting them into his pak.
"There, see? Isn't that better?" ZIM snarled quietly before muttering a "Yes." Danny smiled at ZIM before looking around. He rested his cheek in his hand before sighing and glancing at ZIM to see him in the same position. "So," Danny said, breaking the silence. "How do you suppose we get out of here?" ZIM thought a minute before saying, "I say we stay here." Danny's eyes widened. "Stay? What do you mean by stay?" ZIM growled slightly before answering. "Well, it seems as if this ugly human is getting on my nerves, and before too long, he's going to try my patience and I'm going to kill him." Danny stayed silent, then spoke up. "Don't you think killing him is a little too harsh? I mean, he said something about classes." ZIM's antennae raised high above his head.
"What, so you're saying that we should help this human with his speaking abilities? That'll take too long! That's just stupid! We could easily get out of here too, need I remind you." ZIM said, gesturing to himself and Danny. The halfa frowned before sighing. Then he smiled. "So, you're saying you'd rather go back and stop this guy from destroying Jimmy's town, or stay here, learn of his plans, and stop whatever machine Jimmy said he's rebuliding?" ZIM's eyes widened in realization. The Irken then raised a clawed hand to his chin in a thoughtful expression, before his antennae bowed in submission. ZIM smirked.
"Alright, we'll stay and stop this guys plans. But, do you think he'll mind if I take his machine of doom with me back to my dimension?" Danny stared half-lidded at ZIM, then shook his head. The alien glared and sighed. "Fine, have it your way, Danny-human. But, first, I have to contact Gir." Danny frowned. "Contact Gir? For what?" ZIM smiled evilly. "To make him annoy the Dib. This outta be fun, too." Danny smiled. Might as well have some fun while they were there.
