(OK, sorry for the lack of update, I've just had a busy month. You guys probably know exactly what it's like. Man, I'm virtually starved for reviews, to be perfectly honest! Sorry for the long speech, it's just that I've missed writing so MUCH! Oh so very much...)
Chapter 4
Dib sat in Ms. Bitters's class, looking ahead, and occasionally glancing at his mortal enemy. Zim.
"He's green," Dib pointed out. "And he doesn't have ears or a nose." It was pointless, but he just felt like telling them again.
"You heard him on the first day of school!" Melvin said. "It's a skin condition!"
"We have no time for this, children," Ms. Bitters said. She hissed at the class, then slithered toward her desk. "There is a new extra-curricular activity that the principal has recommended. All of the popular people are going to it. It's called the Warriors of Dark Evil Bad Scary Not-good Doomy Badness."
"Doesn't that sound…evil?" Dib asked.
"School programs are always evil, Dib," Ms. Bitters said. "Who wants to join?"
"Would joining this program, perhaps, allow me to become lord of humans?" Zim asked.
"You could become the club leader, Zim," Ms. Bitters suggested. "Everyone interested in joining report to the school gymnasium after school. Understood? Good. Now, scurry along, you pathetic children, to devour your daily mass of nutrient-food."
The lunch bell rang, and the pathetic children scurried off to devour their daily mass of nutrient-food.
"I just don't get it, Gaz!" Dib said, talking to his sister.
"What is there to get? It's evil, therefore it's cool."
"No it's not! It has to be stopped….whatever it is."
"Go away, Dib."
Dib sighed. Sole defender of Earth was a tough job. Well, there was someone else, but she wasn't there right now.
Raven woke up in a cold sweat. She hadn't even noticed that she had slept in. Oh well.
She climbed out of bed, putting on her robe. It had been a nightmare of spooky doom. A horrible, doomed nightmare of spooky doom. It had gone like this:
It had started with herself and Dib at the movies, watching "Signs", laughing hysterically at the ridiculous idea that aliens who were killed by water would try to invade a planet 70 of it. When suddenly a dark laughter had filled the theater. Four eyes had appeared on the screen, and suddenly everyone started to get sucked into them, like some horrifying vortex of impending doom. Dib shouted something incoherent, then flew backwards. Raven tried to use her telekinesis to bring him back to her, to her arms, yet it wouldn't work! She screamed, and a cruel voice murmured:
"The Spawn has been discovered. At last I may be unleashed."
Raven, after fully dressing herself, walked out of her room, glancing around. All of the other Titans were at school in their secret identities or something. She didn't have one, never had. It made her feel even more alone, and she finally decided on seeing Dib. She stared at the time: 3:05. She'd be late…
Dib, wearing his nifty trench coat and boats, walked out of the evil skool he was forced to go to. He took a big whiff of fresh air, and exhaled. It was the perfect day suddenly. Nothing could go wrong. Yet somehow…
He had the urge to walk in the school, and he followed it.
Why not go to the meeting? It could help you spy on Zim… he thought to himself. And soon HE will be the one who's doomed!
As he walked down the stairs, he heard a familiar chant.
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos….
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos….
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos….
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos….
It wasn't Raven…was it? He walked down toward the gym, and saw Zim sitting in a circle. He looked about as dumbfounded as a flying monkey from Uranus on pot.
"We, the Mortals, whom Trigon created with his bare hands, summon thee!" Melvin shouted. "What does thoust need?" he asked, not actually knowing his olde English.
"I need the Spawn," a freaky-bad voice said.
"Okey Dokey…so when do we get to the part where we rule the world?" Zim asked casually.
"Soon…" Melvin says. "Once we get the one with the mark upon the head…"
It all came to Dib suddenly. It was Raven! The chant—the crystal on her forehead! Everything!
He had to warn her!
Little did he know that he was most utterly and completely wrong.
(Author's Note: Yeah, I know that this chapter wasn't as funny as most of them, but I had to fit in a lot of exposition and stuff. I hope you liked it, and I'm sorry that GIR wasn't in it. But, to make up for it:)
GIR: MUFFFIIIIIIINSSSS!
