"Because the night lay dying
we announce Doomsday
There will be no mercy."
The Master (Rammstein)
Mayhem
"Talking"
'Thinking'
StressedGaz smirked as she flipped the switch. Her closet filled with light and she let her eyes wander the outfits. It was Sunday night and she had some mayhem to cause. Sunday night was her day of doom. She'd go out into the night and pick some pitiful fool and taunt him like she did Iggins. A soft laughter left her and she reached out to the nearest item. She grabbed a long black hoodie that she was fond of. It came down to her knees and had a single silver strip running down each side. On the front of it was a skull with irregular teeth and a pink bow on top of its head.
Gaz quickly pulled out a skirt. The hoodie was long enough to where it covered the skirt. She fastened the buckle on the skirt and made sure that it wouldn't fall down. Gaz then pulled on dark violet tights and quickly laced her boots. She stood in front of the mirror and nodded her approval. It looked like she was wearing a hoodie and no pants, just tights. She reached up and pulled the skull necklace from under the thick material. Gaz pulled open her door and walked down the short hallway and to the kitchen. Dib was sitting at the table munching on toast. She raised an eyebrow and he shrugged.
"Mayhem Sunday?" Dib questioned after he swallowed.
"Yeah," Gaz replied as she opened the freezer and pulled out her ice cream.
"Who's the poor soul this time?" Dib questioned.
"I haven't picked anyone out since the last guy," Gaz admitted as she bit into the fudge chucks.
"Who was your last victim?" Dib questioned.
"Zita," Gaz answered with a smile.
"What did you do to her?" Dib warily questioned. He remembered the girl as the one who had him committed to the crazy house.
"Let's just say she'll be in the crazy house for a while," Gaz darkly replied.
"Gaz, are you going out?" Membrane questioned as his monitor floated into view.
"Yeah," Gaz answered in a voice that challenged him to deny her.
"Just remember what I told you," Membrane reminded as she rolled her eyes.
"I know, I promise I won't use any more explosions," Gaz sighed.
"Thank you, the city is still cleaning itself from the last time you blew up the cesspool," Membrane commented.
"That was really gross," Dib commented.
"I thought it was cool," Gaz mumbled as she tossed her spoon in the sink and ice cream back into the freezer.
"Yes I know, but the city didn't appreciate it," Membrane sighed as he floated away.
"Why did you blow up that?" Dib questioned.
"You remember Jessica?" Gaz questioned.
"Yeah she went missing for three days," Dib mused as realization dawned on him.
"I put her in a cage just inches from the cesspool, I couldn't get her out so I dropped dynamite into it," Gaz answered.
"How was that supposed to help?" Dib asked.
"The explosion sent her cage flying out of the cesspool, so it did work," Gaz defended as she walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Dib questioned.
"Out," Gaz snapped as she left the house.
Dib finished his toast and walked out of the house. He figured that he still needed to work on the ship. The ship's personality was much more subdued then before. Dib walked to the garage and the doors opened. The ship's power went on and Dib grinned. He loved being able to say he had his own alien ship, even it other's didn't believe him. The window opened and he jumped inside. Dib quickly activated the ship and he swore it yawned at him.
"What do you want now?" The ship questioned.
"Why are you always so cranky?" Dib questioned as it snorted.
"You'd be cranky too if you had someone inside you," ship responded.
"I need you to download information on the Irkens," Dib stated.
"Please specify," the ship sang.
"Start with their biology," Dib replied.
"I can easily tell you about that," the ship sighed as a small disk popped out of it.
"What about Irken reproduction?" Dib questioned.
"What about it?" The ship questioned back.
"I need information," Dib growled.
"They don't reproduce," the ship replied.
"Can they?" Dib questioned.
"I refuse to discuss this," the ship huffed as another disk popped out.
"Thanks a lot!" Dib called out as he jumped out of the ship.
"You owe me! I demand an air freshener!"
Zim laughed as he finished his control panel. He tapped his fingers together as he thought about all the things that would get done. Laughter escaped him as he threw back his head and clutched his stomach. Gir watched him and then went back to playing his rubber piggy. Zim's antennae lifted a bit off his head as heard the doorbell ring. He looked to Gir to answer the door, but the little robot had left somewhere. Zim popped in his contacts and took the elevator to the ground level. Before he answered the door, he put his wig on. He threw open the door and blinked when he saw Gaz standing there.
"Are you ready for stage one of Mayhem?" Gaz questioned.
"Yeah, but what is your plan?" Zim inquired as she walked inside and shut the door.
"Dib told me that you tried to bring the Tallest here by controlling their ship from your base…can you still do that?" Gaz questioned.
"Yeah, but what does this have to do anything?" Zim questioned as Gaz growled.
"Just get me to the controls and then watch," Gaz ordered.
"Fine, but I don't see how this will help my revenge," Zim declared.
"What do your Tallest love?" Gaz questioned as they took the elevator down.
"Love?" Zim questioned and Gaz nodded. "Irkens love nothing."
"Then what do they like?" Gaz rephrased.
"Snacks," Zim quickly answered.
"Do you have an outline of their ship?" Gaz questioned.
"Of course, I store all important information away until further use," Zim scoffed as they arrived in a dark room. He quickly removed his disguise.
Gaz raised an eyebrow at the mini-ship in the middle of the room. It looked like one of those kid rides at the park. Zim quickly began to type. Gaz watched as different symbols appeared on the screen. She wondered if this was his language. A design of a ship appeared on the monitor and she smirked. Different areas of the ship were labeled with different symbols.
"This is the Massive," Zim informed as he checked the information over.
"What are those symbols?" Gaz questioned.
"It's Irken," Zim simply answered as he continued to check over the data.
"Where do the Tallest store the snacks?" Gaz questioned as she studied the outline.
Zim searched over the area and held his chin in thought. His hand shot out and he pointed to an area.
"There!" Zim growled.
"Then let's begin," Gaz whispered as she jumped into the mini-ship.
"How are you going to pilot it if you can't read Irken?" Zim questioned with knowing smirk.
"Give me a basic overview," Gaz growled his antenna twitched in annoyance.
"First tell me what your plan is!" Zim ordered. Gaz growled and raised a threatening fist to his face. His eyes narrowed as he smirked.
"The first step in revenge is to take away the things the person most treasures," Gaz explained and Zim blinked. Gaz sighed and rolled her eyes. "Everyone cares for something, you use that against them."
"The snacks," Zim knowingly mumbled.
"I'll pilot the Massive into a planet and take off the area that contains their snacks," Gaz explained.
"That's it?" Zim questioned.
"Then I'll ram them into a few other things until they find us out," Gaz responded.
"That's ingenious! My intelligence knows no bounds!" Zim shouted as he began to laugh.
Gaz reached over and tugged one of his antennae. He winced and quickly pulled away. He rubbed the abused appendage and growled at her.
"I need a basic overview of Irken language," Gaz reminded as he frowned.
He began pointing out basic symbols and simple words. As Zim explained this, Gaz watched as his antennae moved. She flexed the hand that originally had pulled one of those antennae. Gaz's hand flexed as she tried to pay attention to his instructions. The way they felt left her hand with a weird after feeling. It was like one of those moments where you get something on your hand and wonder what it is. She wasn't disgusted, just curious about it. It felt extremely fragile in her opinion. They were smooth, but had a very fine layer of fur. It wasn't visible to here eyes, but it was rough and very fine. She blinked when she noticed that Zim was extremely close to her face.
"What?" Gaz snapped deciding that anger was best.
"I thought that you had died of boredom," Zim stated as he pulled away. His left antenna twitched as he walked over to the control panel.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Gaz questioned. She didn't want any blame placed on her.
"Of course," Zim waved off as he a screen of the Massive appeared before Gaz. It showed the surrounding areas.
"Once I start, I will not take mercy upon their doomed souls," Gaz darkly warned. Zim gazed at her and shivered at her tone.
"Begin the doom!" Zim shouted.
"DOOM!" Gir shouted as he ran across the room. A rubber pig smacked Zim in the face.
Gaz sinisterly smirked as she watched him pull the pig away from his face. She tightly gripped the steering wheel and tensed with anticipation. If Dib could be here then he would be proud of her. She was bent on attacking the Irkens and actually showing that she believed in aliens. Gaz didn't care, she just wanted to cause destruction and play with the most advanced technology on earth. Dib would be mad if he knew she was helping Zim, but that also didn't matter to her. She would help whom she chose, but this wasn't helping him, this was just tuning into her desire for mayhem.
"Let the chaos begin," Gaz whispered.
Crunch, crunch, crunch…
Sip, smack, crunch…
"Stop eating so loud!" Red snapped as he glared at Purple.
"Wha?" Purple questioned through a mouthful of chips.
Red grimaced and tried to float a few feet away from Purple. Spit and chips flew at him and landed on his face. Red sighed and his arms hung limp as a defeated expression crossed his face. He raised his arm to his face and wiped away the mess. Purple raised his right antenna and Red sighed when he noticed the confusion and slight offense.
"Sure…go ahead and act all bossy," Purple huffed as he stuffed more chips in his mouth.
"I am the boss," Red dryly said.
"You're only half the boss," Purple pointed out with a smug grin.
"Stop talking with your mouth full! I don't want to see that!" Red growled.
"You like seafood…well look!" Purple shouted as he opened his mouth.
"Damn it!" Red growled as he floated away. Purple floated closer and stuffed more chips in his mouth. He furiously chewed and opened his mouth with a loud 'blah.'
"Look it!" Purple shouted as he held his mouth open.
The technicians on the Massive let their eyes stray and grimaced. Purple was inches from Red's face with his mouth open. Chewed up food and saliva were almost falling out of his mouth. Red held Purpled back by his face. Purple struggled to get closer Red. Red smirked and moved his hand to Purple's hover belt. He messed with a few controls and watched as Purple went flying up towards the ceiling. Red winced when Purple collided and began to laugh. A glob of food fell from the ceiling and smacked him in the eye. The technicians turned around looking slightly sick.
"You jerk!" Purple called as he fixed his hover belt.
"This is disgusting," Red growled as he wiped the food from his eye.
"Least you didn't fly into the ceiling," Purple called out as he floated back down to the floor.
"If I get an infection in my eye you're going to get it," Red threatened as Purple blinked.
"Blah, blah, blah…stop whining," Purple mocked as he reached for the fallen chips.
"Fine…I'll spit food in your eye and see how you like it," Red growled as Purple rolled his eyes.
"Want some chips?" Purple offered as he held out the bag.
"Do you have any nachos?" Red questioned.
"I did…but then they ended up in your eye," Purple answered as Red frowned.
"But I thought those were chips..." Red calmly assumed.
"Nope…I mixed your nachos with my chips!" Purple happily said as he smiled.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Red growled as his antennae flattened to his head.
"I wanted nachos," Purple simply answered as he stuck a chip in his mouth.
"Don't go eating mine! Go float over to the snack area and get your own!" Red growled as he pointed to a door.
"That was too far away…besides…yours were closer," Purple replied with a shrug.
"Your lazy," Red sighed as he gave Purple a dry look.
"And your uptight," Purple stated with a raised antenna.
"At least I can work the controls," Red declared with a smug look.
"Yeah…I can too! All I have to do is push a few buttons!" Purple sulked with a glare.
"The last time you worked the controls you launched Invader Gizmo into the space," Red recalled with a grin.
"Yeah…well he was a bad Invader anyways!" Purple stated.
"He held top rank in all his divisions," Red mumbled.
"I'm bored," Purple suddenly said.
"Let's call Zim and give him a pummeling," Red suggested.
"Can't…we cut off all transmissions," Purple reminded.
"Do you think he's dead yet?" Red questioned.
"With our luck…probably not," Purple muttered with a scowl.
The Massive suddenly stopped. The technicians floated in the air as they lost all gravity. Red looked around in confusion as Purple screamed.
"What are you screaming about…we float anyways," Red stated.
"Oh yeah," Purple drawled.
"What's going on?" Red demanded.
"Systems are out of control!" A technician quickly answered.
"If that wasn't oblivious," Purple mumbled as he caught a floating chip.
"I want reports now!" Red shouted.
The Massive quickly lurched forward and the two Tallest were smashed against the window. Purple groaned and Red growled as he tried to push away from the window. Red and Purple slammed into the wall across the room and the Massive plunged into chaos.
Author's Note:
I always wondered what would happen if Gaz helped Zim with plans...I think things would actually go right.
