Author's Note: Hi, long time no see. I have been really lazy and now I am finally back to continue this story. CHAPTER THREE! READ!

Chapter 3: A Failed Escape

The food arrived five minutes later, setting softly on the table. Gavno smiled as he grabbed his meal and started to eat. Reni didn't notice, for her mind was focused on the black eyed half irken who called himself Dak. Reni turned her head, looking at him leaning against the wall behind the counter.

Reni noticed the odd way he was leaning. His back was not touching the wall, only his head and PAK. For any normal irken, that would be quite uncomfortable, but something about him didn't seem normal, beside his eyes and the fact that he was half irken.

"Hay Reni, why aren't you eating?" asked Gavno's voice from out of nowhere.

Reni looked over at him. "Oh, it's nothing…" she looked at the food. "This looks great," she exclaimed sarcastically. She was trying to change the subject, as well as delay ingesting this food. She hated slarbs. Reni looked at Gavno eating. "Is yours good?"

Gavno blinked then smiled, nodding at Reni's question. "Yeah, this Goo-Slarb is…" he was soon interrupted by a scream. Gavno and Reni looked over at Dak who was now standing on the counter.

"I can't take this anymore!" he yelled. Dak pulled off the uniform, reveling his normal dress underneath. This consisted of a long-sleeved shirt with the end of the sleeves ripped up, it have a color scheme of dark purple and light. He wore matching pants. He still had his cape on.

Reni and Gavno watched as he jumped off the counter and headed for the door. He was soon stopped by some fellow employees as well as his manager. "Dak, this is the third time this month, you're not getting out of the restaurant."

"Yes I am," Dak corrected him.

"What makes you say that?"

"Because you're not going to stop me," Dak smiled, going for the first living travel size being he saw, this unfortunately being Gavno. Dak grabbed him, the sheep surprise throwing everyone off guard. He placed the young irken in front of him as a shielf while a lazer appeared from under his cape, obviously coming from his PAK.

"WHAT!" yelled his manager. "I thought the weapons in your PAK had all been decommissioned.

Dak closed his eyes. "Yeah…" he started. His eyes shot open, displaying a sense of harshness not shown before. "Right," he shot the laser. The manager and the other employees dodged out the way.

Dak took this opportunity and dashed out the door, taking Gavno with him.

"GAVNO!" shouted Reni through the dust cloud that the laser had made.

"Reni," came Gavno's distant voice. "Hel-" it stopped suddenly.

"NO!" cried Reni, running to the door that she could now see.

She could see only crowds of aliens after exiting the restaurant. "Damn," she exclaimed. Not hesitating, four mechanical legs emerged from her PAK. These lifted her up, making her rise above the crowd. From here, she spotted Dak, running nimbly through the crowd with Gavno over his shoulder.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" she warned before plowing through the crowd. Reni knocked countless aliens over and received some rather rude remarks. She didn't pay attention; she was quickly closing in on Dak.

Gavno was happy to see her. "Reni!" he yelled. This caused Dak to notice his pursuer.

"You will never catch meeaaHHH!" he said soon falling down a cliff, Gavno in hand.

"GAV!" Reni yelled. She turned and went quickly down some nearby stairs with her spider legs.

Three stories down, Reni's legs went back into her PAK and she used her normal ones to run over to the scene of the crash. A crowd of irkens and other aliens was slowly starting to form to see this bizarre sight. On the ground was an injured cape less Dak. What his cape had been hiding were a pair of bat-like wings. Apparently, Dak had tried to stop his fall by using them, but had failed.

Reni would have been as surprised as the rest of the crowd if she wasn't busy noticing the absence of Gavno. She walked over to the half-irken and picked him off the ground. "WHERE IS HE!" she yelled in his face.

Before he could respond, there was a familiar voice as Gavno came running out from behind a trash bin. "Reni," he said. Unlike Dak, Gavno didn't seem to have a scratch on him, even though Dak had used him to block the full impact of the fall.

Dropping Dak, Reni went over to Gavno, kneeling to him. She grabbed his shoulders. "Are you ok?"

Gavno smiled. "Of course I am, and you know that,"

Reni sighed, but before she could counter him a pain erupted in her left shoulder. She grabbed it as blood started to flow through the wound. She turned and looked at Dak, whose laser was smoking, and who had a smirk on his face.

Reni narrowed her eyes and in a movment almost too fast for the mind to comprehend, she was standing above Dak. Her left arm by her side and her other arm extended out, her right hand holding the handle of a long ax. This ax had just chopped through the laser. She moved the ax so the tip of it was pointing at Dak. "Be glad I didn't kill you," she said in a low voice to the astonished Dak,

Dak was then grappled by two slave drivers and escorted away by five more. This caused the crowd to thin and ultimately caused it to vanish. Once gone, Reni collapsed to a knee, dropping her ax and holding her injury.

"Reni, let me see it," said Gavno, coming up to her. She removed her hand. It was a deep cut and it was still bleeding. Gavno placed his hands on it. Reni winced as the area glowed yellow. A few moments later, Gavno removed his hands and the wound was healed.

Reni moved her arm a little, there was no more pain. She looked at Gavno. "Thanks again," she said, implying that he had down this before. Gavno nodded and smiled.

Reni grabbed her ax, twisting the handle, causing the ax to compact back into a travel size. She placed it on her belt and looked at Gavno. "Lets head back to the ship,"

"But I'm still hungry,"

Reni sighed. "We'll pick up something to-go on the way," she exclaimed. Gavno nodded in agreement and they were off.

Well that is the end of chapter 3. I hoped you liked it. Please review. Known Invader Zim characters will be in the next chapter, the tallest actually. I will try to get that up as soon as possible.
