Defects and traitors pt 2
Written in spray-paint on the front of your new car by Invader Sideos. Grrr warning! Warning! I don't know what this chapter is going to include! Grrr it's so annoying not knowing what you're going to write. Thanks to Sneere for the plot help. This is most likely going to take several days to write. I mean the whole chapter, the story will prob take a few weeks I dunno. My bro is being a Nazi and making me turn out all the lights and turn off all the music so he can sleep in his sick bed of sleep. I will fight back by drawing on his face once he sleeps. I refuse to succumb to my tiredness, but I know I will sometime tonight. Update, I finally slept at 3:30 am
I don't own Zim but I do own Sideos isn't that cool!
---------------------------------------------
"The bodies of the guards were found strewn along the hallways. The scene was described as 'demonistic' by the Imperial police force." Gir sat on the couch, quite still, watching the news. The TV flashed images of the blood covered halls and of the Irkin police examining the scenes. The one eyed news reader continued in his authoritative voice "The escaped mental patient, Sideos, has been described as extremely dangerous and should not be approached by anyone. If you do spot him," and a picture of Sideos appeared on the screen, "please contact the authorities immediately. Do not, I repeat DO NOT attempt to-"
"-This is boring" Gir switched the channel over to the scary monkey show, his face instantly lighted up with joy "YAY! Scary monkey!" Suddenly the door of the house swung open and a tired looking Zim walked in. The moment the door shut he threw his hair piece and contacts off and hopped onto the couch, collapsing on it and closing his eyes.
"Phew, another horrible earth day over, Gir." He opened an eye to look at his robotic assistant. "Anything on the news that I should know about?" Gir just grabbed his toes and let his eyes zoom on the monkey. Zim looked annoyed. "GIR! I said, anything on the news?" Gir looked to his master.
"Err...something about a taco baby...or was it a tomato monkey?" he laughed "I don't know!" Zim sighed and closed his eye. Whatever it was, he could wait. All he wanted to do right now was go and relax in the safety of his labs, maybe torture some poor soul for a bit. He was about to do just that, when suddenly the very house itself seemed to explode with alarms.
"WARNING! WARNING! OH MY MOTHERS HARDDRIVE! WARNING!" Zim fell off the couch in surprise. Red flashing lights popped up everywhere, even from Gir's head. He could hear the computer laughing as he picked himself off the floor rubbing his lower back.
"WHAT NOW!" He yelled at the top of his voice. "And get rid of the Alarms!" the lights went and Gir looked sad for a second as the one from his head went to, but he soon went back to the monkey. The computer was still chuckling at Zim as it told him the news.
"Irkin craft heading towards earth, one life form detected on board." Zim put one had to his chin and his non existent brow furrowed as he gave his order.
"Bring it on-screen."
"The MONKEY!" Gir screamed as the picture changed from the scary monkey show to a static screen which cleared to show a small voot runner rushing towards them. Zim kicked Gir out the way of the screen and looked at the ship.
"How long till it gets here?"
"Err about 15 minutes." Zim jumped up in shock. That was really, really soon!
"Where is it going to land?" The computer did a quick calculation and drew up a short map with a flashing X. Zim knew exactly where the X was over. His eyes narrowed in anger and his voice dripped with malice. "Dibs house."
Dib was running round his room in a mixture of panic and excitement. His computer had just informed him that something resembling a ship was heading for earth, more precisely into his back yard. He ran to his stairs and slid down them, landing with a big grin on his face. The sound of Gaz playing her gameslave caused him to turn his head.
"GAZ, GAZ! You won't believe this! An alien craft is heading for OUR back yard!" She didn't look up, but her voice showed that she was clearly annoyed.
"Go away, Dib. Last level, must complete." Dib knew better then to pester his sister on the last level of a game and so he ran outside and onto the roof looking up into the night sky. For a moment everything was still and quite. The night air stood still and the moment seemed to last much longer then usual. Dib thought about what was coming towards him. A new ally perhaps? Someone to help him fight Zim? And if it wasn't, then he could capture and expose it to show he wasn't crazy. Whatever happens, he thought to himself, this has to be a good thing. How he would come to regret those words.
A small red dot appeared in the sky, and Dib almost jumped off the roof in excitement. The dot grew larger, and was soon seen to be on fire. Dib suddenly realised that it wasn't slowing down. The ship hit the backyard with a massive bang that shook the house. The impact caused Dib to fall down and almost fall off the roof. Every car alarm in the street was set of at once, and Dib could see the many lights of the neighbours switching on. The ones opposite him looked out the window directly at Dib, scowling.
He smiled sheepishly and shouted "SORRY!" They grunted and went back in. He was quite used to the neighbours blaming him for every loud explosion or blackout that they suffered. Dib looked over the edge of the roof excitedly, but his grin and attitude plummeted as he saw the side insignia, a large Irkin face that he had seen inside Zim's base once or twice. An Irkin ship had just crashed into his back garden; did this mean that the armada that Zim constantly spoke of was here? Was he getting re-enforcements? Dib took no chances and rushed down, taking out his water pistol that he kept in his trench coat pocket. The ship was small and, Dib theorised, possibly only held one Irkin. Smoke was billowing out from around it and the cockpit was filled with it, so he couldn't see inside. Slowly he edged forward holding the water pistol out in front of him with two hands.
Suddenly the windshield shot off. Dib ducked just in time to stop it from hitting him in the face. It crashed into the side of the house shattering. The black smoke crawled out and momentarily swamped Dib. He quickly wafted it away, wanting to have a clear shot at the Irkin inside. Dib jumped as he heard something suddenly grip the front of the ship. It was an unusual claw, quite different from Zim's, they looked thin and sharp, almost like short razor blades. Dib could hear the Invader inside trying to crawl out and he raised his gun to eye level. He watched with a bold, determined look on his face as an impossibly thin Irkin face came into view, its eyes were shut tight and it coughed loudly in the smoke. Its head was bleeding slightly, but it didn't look too injured. However, despite the weak look of the Irkin, Dib still jumped and took a step back as it opened its eyes suddenly. The dark purple orbs looked directly at him with something Dib couldn't describe, hunger? He suddenly felt like something was very, very odd, the way the eyes danced with a strange joy, the way that its grin showed darkly stained zipper teeth. Dib knew that look from somewhere else, he had seen it in only one other being, Zim. But this was something different, it was more...unnerving. He swore it licked its lips as it spoke.
"I hit the right planet then." It then collapse forward onto the front of the ship unconscious. Dib stood a moment, not wanting to approach the spooky eyed Irkin, but after he was sure it wasn't going to wake up he lowered his gun and approached. The ship was incredibly wrecked; clearly it wasn't designed to enter atmospheres at such speeds. Whatever this Irkin was sent here for, he got here very quickly. Taking a good look at the strange Invader he saw that, clothing wise, he wasn't much different from Zim. The gloves seemed to be the only stand-outish thing on him. However, he was much taller then Zim, and much thinner too. In fact, Dib wondered exactly how such a thin being could actually have the energy to crawl out of a crashed ship. Dib stood back and thought. Should I help it? It's Irkin so it's most probably on Zim's side. But if I do help it I might convince it to leave. Dib looked back to the Irkin and suddenly a very good idea entered his mind accompanied by a very sly grin.
Dib walked around his unconscious prisoner. He had strapped him to an old experiment table making sure to put those dangerous looking hands out of the way of the rest of his body. He had been wondering why he was taking so long to recover. Every time he had seen Zim unconscious he had recovered in a matter of minutes, this guy was still out after an hour and a half. He was about to walk out of the room when he suddenly heard a loud groan. He spun round and saw the Irkin's head shake slowly. Dib stood looking at him from above his head; he didn't want to look into those eyes again.
"Hay space boy you have a nice nap?" Dib enjoyed having power over an enemy for once, but he faltered when he heard that cold, yet sinister voice.
"Yes...it was most enjoyable, human. We Irkins don't get to sleep much. In fact we don't sleep at all." Dib saw him open his eyes and try to move, but thankfully those straps held him in place. Dib felt better knowing that his prisoner couldn't get him.
"What's your name, Irkin? Who sent you here? Don't mess with me, I know all your weaknesses." Dib wanted to establish that he was in command here, but the way this Irkin talked made him want to run out the room and grab a baseball bat.
"My weaknesses? I take it you are the Dib-boy then, right? Let me free and I will tell you all about myself." Dib was shocked. Zim must have told this invader all about him. He wouldn't be surprised if Zim wasn't coming to rescue him right now. A slight fear was creeping into his mind but he pushed it down and tried to re-gain control of the situation.
"No way, if you don't tell me who you are I will put you into horrible pain" He heard the Irkin sigh sarcastically.
"Fine then little Dib-thing, I am Invader Sideos and I'm here on very...pacific business." Dib slowly walked over to the side of the table and levelled it upright so that it seemed that Sideos was standing up. He turned to face him, but Sideos was still looking straight forward at the wall. Dib took a deep breath readying himself to face the creepy Invader.
"Ok, how do you know my name? Did Zim send for you? Are you joining him on his mission?" Sideos smiled but still didn't look at Dib.
"Oh no, I'm not here to join Zim." Now his eyes shot to Dib, locking him in place. Dib was almost terrified at the joy that appeared in them as he spoke. "I'm here to kill him." Dib couldn't move. All he could do was look at those dark eyes. He could tell straight away that Sideos was clearly insane, but if he was here to kill Zim then he could be a potential ally. He shook himself clear of the stair and walked quickly behind the righted table. Glad to be away from those weird eyes.
"So if your here to kill Zim, why didn't you land near his house? And you still haven't explained how you know my name." he could almost see the mad Irkin smile from behind him.
"Oh I know a lot about you Dibly; you see the Irkin that hired me for the job warned me about you. Spoke very clearly about you and you're knowledge of our race. It seems Zim had collected a lot of information on you and spoke quite a lot of you." Dib felt a strange sense of pride, Zim had reported on me personally? Sideos interrupted his thoughts "The landing was a mistake, I haven't piloted anything for quite some time." Dib felt brave enough to walk back round, but he still didn't look into those eyes.
"So, you're here to kill Zim and take his mission right?" Sideos answered like a nanny teaching a small child a mistake.
"No no no, I'm here to kill Zim and leave, the Tallest have no interest in earth, you're all completely safe, safe as a new born smeet on Irk."
Dib didn't like the way this was looking but if he assisted this 'Invader Sideos' then he could be rid of Zim and possibly the entire Irkin race forever. Dib screwed up his courage and once again looked into Sideos's eyes.
"If I help you, you promise to get rid of Zim and leave straight away?" Sideos leaned his head as forward as he could casting an incredibly unnerving shadow across his face.
"Sure Dibby-Wibby, whatever you want." Dib took a step back, his hand hovering over the strap release button, he saw Sideos clench his blade like fingers, and for a moment wondered if this was a good idea.
"You're insane, you know."
"I've heard so are you." Dib decided to always keep his water pistol on him from now on and closing his eyes and pressing the button. Sideos dropped to the floor without a sound and darted forward slamming a hand to the wall on the left side of Dibs head, He toward over him boring down on him with those dark unblinking eyes. Dib was now trapped and at the total mercy of Sideos's wrath. For a moment Dib truly believed that Sideos was going to kill him and then, slowly, Sideos held out his hand. That insane grin grew wider.
"Lets shake on it, shall we? I kill Zim and leave you alone." Dib trembled and slowly held out his own, Sideos reached forward and grasped it tightly.
"Done." he whispered chillingly, his eyes widening slightly as he spoke.
"Done." Dib whispered back, wishing he could melt into the wall. Sideos let go and stood right back again looking cheerful, and for a moment lost that sinister look to his eye.
"Okay! I'm going to see if you have anything to eat, I'm hungry." He licked his lips and bit his lip slightly as he strode out the room. Dib stood in shock for a moment, there was no doubt in his mind that Sideos was clearly out of his own. They had sent one madman to kill another. Dib felt something run down the side of his palm and turning to look he saw that three long, but not deep, cuts had appeared and were bleeding slightly. He assured himself that sometimes in order to save something; he had to make a few sacrifices, namely trusting a madman.
