Amber eyes opened slowly with a little groan. The human had a massive headache and really just wanted to sleep, but for some reason his body wouldn't let him. Without sitting up, Dib looked around the room. The room that had quickly become his. The door was left wide open, without any laser barrier to keep him in.
Slowly, Dib pushed himself up, holding his wounded shoulder with a hiss. He rotated it, the bloodstained shirt moving stiffly with the muscle. His hand moved up his neck a little bit and instead of hitting flesh, he hit metal. Confused, he put his hand to his neck and felt around it to find a metal collar.
He pushed himself to his feet and continued to feel the collar, looking for some sort of clasp to get it off. After a moment, he found it was no use; the collar folded together much like a puzzle piece. There was no set clasp.
"So, you've finally decided to join us in the land of the living." He jumped and turned to see Sizz-lorr standing behind him, a small remote in his hand.
Dib spun around and cocked his fists, glaring hatefully at the frycook.
Sizz-lorr cocked an eye. "Please, I'm not going to fight you. I have much better ways than that." The fry lord pressed a button on the remote.
Before the human could register the small action, a wave of electricity came from the collar and cut into his neck. His eyes widened before he let out a cry and collapsed to the ground. His eyes shut tightly as his head bowed, his neck feeling like millions of little needles were digging into his skin.
Eventually, the needles stopped, and Sizz-lorr knelt down and cupped the human's chin, forcing him to look up. "You had this coming, Dib. Ever since you snuck into my ship and came here. You sold yourself to slavery, and for what?"
The human pulled his head away from the hand, a look of disgust set in his demeanor. "Keep your hand off me!"
"I can do what I please. I own you."
The human snarled at the idea, but didn't retort.
The irken sighed and stood up, nudging Dib with his foot. "Because of your failure to follow orders, and the fact that you attacked me, you'll be staying in here."
The human's head shot up, eyes wide. "WHAT?"
Sizz-lorr walked toward the door as if he didn't speak. "And I will be the one feeding you, so there won't be another mishap." He stood in the doorway and looked back at the human.
Dib shot to his feet, glaring darkly. "You can't do this!"
"Yes, I can. You're my slave, remember?" with that being said, he walked out, the door shutting behind him.
"NO!" the paranormalist rammed his body into the door harshly. He continued to ram himself into the door as if he could break through the metal. He rammed into it on last time before stopping, leaning up against the door. Rage began to flow through him as he glared, then looked around to room for something to possibly destroy.
Hours later, all of the irkens busied themselves with that day's tasks, only glancing at the door ever so often to hear the human's cursing and the sound of metal crashing.
Finally, having enough time to sneak away from Sizz-lorr for a moment, Zim broke into the room. "Dib?"
The boy sat in the middle of the room, cut up hands holding his head. Large pieces of metal were tossed about, wires pulled from the walls, zapping every so often. The few pieces of furniture that sat in the room were overturned and torn apart. Dib didn't look up at the irken as he walked in, the door closing behind him.
Zim looked around a little, taking in the scene. "I didn't really think a human could possibly tear through walls like this."
"I had help." The human took his hands away from his face and looked at them blankly. "You'd be amazed at what little things could be used as a crowbar."
Zim swallowed and eyed the paranormalist's hands. "You're bleeding."
"Really? I hadn't noticed." Dib let his hands fall to his lap and looked away.
The invader stepped closer. "You…confuse me."
Dib snorted, but otherwise didn't respond.
The irken moved closer but froze when a familiar voice bellowed his name. Crimson eyes widened and clanked around the room, looking for a place to hide. As the footsteps got closer, Zim dove behind what used to be some form of a couch and curled into a ball, holding his breath.
Sizz-lorr opened the door to the room and looked around with a snort. "You really did a number on this place."
Dib just glared and repositioned himself as if he would jump at the fry lord. Before he could spring up, Sizz-lorr brought out the remote and showed it to the human.
Dib growled and settled back down as Sizz-lorr smirked.
The fry cook walked up and patted Dib on the head. "That's a good boy."
"Fuck you."
The larger irken looked down with a sneer. "That's no way to talk to me." He glanced around quickly. "You've seen the punishment." He paused. "Speaking of which, have you seen Zim?"
"I've been locked in this room all day. I haven't had the opportunity to step out, much less see anyone."
Sizz-lorr snorted. "Hmm, that's true." He turned around and headed to the door. "but tell me if he somehow gets in here." The door opened then shut quickly behind Sizz-lorr.
A moment after, Zim popped up from his hiding spot and blinked at Dib, slightly confused. "You--"
"Did you actually expect me to tell him you were here?"
The alien moved from his spot and crawled over to Dib, eyes narrowed in thought. He cocked an eye as he looked lower, taking note of the collar "We're in similar situations, aren't we?"
Dib shook his head. "You've got it worse. I'm just stuck in this room until he figures out what to do with me."
Zim snorted then sat back, looking toward the door with wary eyes.
The human let out a small sigh before nudging his head toward the door. "you should probably go. God knows what he'll do to you when he finds you."
Zim's jaw set,but he nodded and stood up. Opening the door, he looked back at Dib and blinked before walking into the hall with a glare the door sliding shut and locking behind him.
"SIZZ-LORR!"
The fry lord turned to see Zim storming down the hall, a hateful gleam in his crimson eyes. "well, you finally decided to come out of hiding!"
The smaller irken snarl, spider legs extending, one of the metallic legs slashing toward Sizz-lorr's midsection, which the frycook narrowly avoided. "How dare you!"
Sizz-lorr looked up and blinked, confused at Zim's newfound bravery.
Zim's glare deepened as he pulled the larger irken closer, shaking him a little. "That human does not belong to you! He's MINE to torment and mine ONLY!"
Sizz-lorr blinked again, then smirked as he pulled the remote out. "it was Dib's decision to come here, not mine. He's getting what's coming to him." He played with the remote in his hand. "why so possessive, Zim?" he grabbed a hold of one of the metal appendages. "you really should learn how to share!" with that, he moved, flunging the invader into a nearby wall and snapping off a piece of the spider leg.
Zim fell to the floor with a grunt, the legs retracting onto his PAK before he jumped at Sizz-lorr again, this time for the remote.
The fry cook anticipated this and sidestepped, holding the little machine away from Zim. Nearly smashing into the wall, Zim growled and jumped at Sizz-lorr, grabbing his hand and trying to pry the remote free.
Sizz-lorr snarled and grabbed Zim by the neck, pinning him to the wall with his free hand. The other irken let out a yelp as his body hit the hard surface.
The frylord squeezed with a sneer. "What is it? Is this kid really worth it? Does this creature mean that much to you that you are willing to risk your own ass to save his?"
Zim didn't respond. His mouth opened in an attempt to breath.
The larger irken growled. And tossed Zim to the ground. "hmph, fine." He walked down the hall causually and walked into the room with Dib.
Zim pushed himself up, rubbing his abused throat. His antennae perked in alarm at the sound of Dib's scream.
Shooting to his feet, he ran down the hall and skid to a stop before the door. His eyes widened at the scen that greeted him. Sizz-lorr stood over Dib, spider legs extended and swiping at the boy, cutting through clothes and skin.
Seeing Zim out of the counter of his eye, he stopped, leaving Dib alone for the moment. "keeping him here is just dead weight, Zim. He's either here with a purpose or not at all." He leaned down and grabbed the human by the hair lifting him off the ground. Dib swallowed in response and shut his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks. Sizz-lorr looked over at Zim with a blank demeanor. "if the boy means so much to you, attack me. Show me that you're willing to take the consequences to have him live. If you don't, Dib dies, it's that simple." With that being said, the four metal claws continued to cut at the boy mercilessly, causing the paranormalist to cry out.
Zim stood there, frozen as he weighed his options. If he attacked the frylord, a punishment would follow. But if he let Dib die-- He bit his lip as Sizz-lorr let go of the human and pressed a button on the collar's remote, electrocuting him.
There really was no consequence if the human died. Zim would have another person's blood on his hands, but what was one more. He did destroy half his home planet.
Plus, if he ever got back to Earth, Dib wouldn't be there to stop him from destroying the planet.
The human screamed and writhed as the spider legs came back, the electricity still flowing. Honey eyes overflowing with fearful tears.
Zim looked into those eyes, hands balling into fists. He made his decision.
Within seconds, the smaller irken plowed into the frylord with all his strength.
Tapan: I feel like being cruel again and leaving with another cliffhanger. You all know you love me! Ok, I'm done now, I'll see ya all later!
