Invader Zim- The End?
Chapter 6
Zim stepped up the stairs and thought to himself as he went. Tak, Kim, Gaz and Dib were all still downstairs discussing the fights between the Tallest and the Bludgeon twins. He no longer had to hear any of it. He already knew the entire story.
It doesn't make any sense to me. I just can't put my finger around it. They couldn't have survived the stomping I gave them and yet they did. They couldn't have survived the second attack to them afterwards yet they did. How are those two living through everything we throw at them? It's unnatural!
He rubbed his chin.
Perhaps it has something to do with their genetic makeup. Bludgeons are usually considered a primitive species compared to all of us because they don't have any vehicles. But they choose not to have them. It makes no sense but what if the fact that they are stronger has something to do with all of this? It would explain why they can keep coming back to get the Tallest. Perhaps there is a secret factor hidden within the Bludgeons' genetic code that I could crack.
No one has ever really tried to do it before so I could be right. But what if I'm not? What will I do then? The Tallest aren't around so I have no one to guide me. I guess Tak would be the closest thing that we have to a leader right now…
He smirked and then looked back down the stairs. He had sat down.
Gir was hopping up the stairs singing the doom song merrily.
"Gir, shouldn't you be keeping an eye on the ones downstairs? They are infiltrating our base after all. And you know how much I hate the Dib."
"Why?" Gir hugged himself. "He seems nice."
Zim rolled his eyes and then took his lenses off, revealing his blank red corneas. He sighed and then leaned back on the stairs. Gir came up and sat next to him. Zim turned to the little robot. "Hey Gir."
"Yeeeesssss?"
"What would you do if you didn't have a master?"
Gir didn't speak. He merely stared off into space. Or in this case he just stared at the wall.
"Gir?"
"I don't know…"
Zim thought back. It was the very same 'I don't know' tone that Gir had given him when they first met. "Would you be sad? If you didn't have a master I mean. Would you be sad if you didn't have one?"
Gir held his little robotic legs and rocked back and forth. "I guess…" He turned to Zim. "Why?"
"N… Nothing. Forget I said anything."
Zim caught an argument between Tak and Dib downstairs.
"Oh, so aliens are all ugly are they?"
"I didn't say that…" Dib sounded a little freaked out.
"It's obvious Dib."
"How so?"
"Don't think I couldn't read your mind when I was first on Earth. That's what this thing is for!" There was a clinking of metal. "I know that you liked me Dib!"
"W… What?"
"And then when you found out that I was an alien I could see that your mind waves spiked and all of a sudden feelings were whipped away by hatred. You all hate the Irken race don't you? Eh? Am I right? You think we're ugly."
"All I said was that Irkens have weird shaped heads."
"There you go again!"
"But I… I…"
"Rahhh!!!!!" There was a thud downstairs and a cry of help from Dib. Then Kim's voice came into the sounds, screaming something inaudible. There was a blast of blue light downstairs and a wail of pain. Dib's staggering body came into view for a split second before Tak's glove pulled him back into the battle.
Zim cringed. There was no way Dib would make it out of that battle. Irken women were considered to be very aggressive and he had just ticked one off.
He sighed and then stood up.
Gir did the same thing but he did not sigh. "You going back down?"
"No Gir. I need your help with something actually. Come on." Zim led Gir up the stairs to the very top of the house. The attic. He climbed through the attic door and then Gir came up with him. Zim took a glance at his ship, figured it to be in good enough flying condition and then clambered inside.
Zim took hold of a throttle, pulled it down and placed his finger on a glowing, blue pad. He dragged his finger along so that his arm was now outstretched and then pressed three buttons in simultaneous order.
The ship lifted off of the ground and the roof of the house opened to let Zim and Gir through.
Tak, Dib, Gaz and Kim all rushed up the stairs at the sound of the ship taking off. They emerged just in time to watch the ship blast off into the atmosphere. They covered eyes and pupils as the grit and dust that was kicked up from the floor of the attic. Then Zim was gone into space.
The remaining Irken dusted off her outfit and then rubbed her chin. "Hey… I just realized something…"
Dib didn't move as he said, "what?"
"Zim grew…"
The three humans raised an eyebrow but Tak did not falter from her thinking pose.
(Zim and Gir)
"Where are we going?"
"Quiet Gir… I need to think…"
"Okie dokie!" The little robot tried to preoccupy himself with a stuffed, squeaky moose that popped out of his head. He squished it in his hand and then smiled a goofy little grin with his pink, metal tongue sticking out from his bottom lip. (If he has one Oo)
Zim thought as he flew the ship through the sky.
It could be possible that Bludgeons have the ability to do it but would it be probable? Heh Heh Heh… That doesn't even really make sense…
Still… I can't shake the feeling. I feel as though the answer is staring me right in the face but I can't use it. I just hope I'm wrong otherwise we'll never be able to beat these guys…
Now… if I were to capture a Bludgeon then I could test my theory. But where would I get a Bludgeon this far out into space. It would take me a while to make it to their planet and ever so I don't think an Irken would be welcome. Especially because I am an invader.
There has to be one other place that I could find a Bludgeon but… I can't think of one! Zim slapped his head and only then noticed that he still had his wig on. He took it off and handed it to Gir who put it on and then danced around. For a while he acted like the human known as 'the king of rock an roll'.
Zim smirked. That had been one of his failed plans. To make people think that he was the king of rock and roll by dressing up as him. That had failed miserably and his identity as an alien had almost been revealed. His hatred for Dib had multiplied by ten that day.
It's impossible. Bludgeons are only located in their designated spot far out in the farthest points in the cosmos. There's no way that I would be able to make it out that far. Hey wait a second… Where did they get that in the first place? Zim thought back to Gagnor and Gagnex's black ship and the one he had knocked them out of when they had first attacked the Tallest. He rubbed his chin. "Computer! Check for any way a Bludgeons could require an Irken vessel."
There was a ringing as the ship databank gathered the data and then a ding as it finished. "Bludgeons can only gain ships if they were to crash onto the planet's surface."
"What is the possibility of that?"
"Near impossible."
"Show me any news from the Bludgeons home world regarding a piece of foreign technology crashing."
The computer searched the banks and then a holographic image popped up.
"Tell us boys, how did you come across such a marvelous discovery?" A Bludgeon reporter stood on the screen in a field next to two younger Bludgeons.
The younger ones looked near exactly alike except that one of them had an eye patch on and looked pretty beat up and bruised. They had similar, short blue hair and the same faces. It was the twins.
"Well…" Gagnex spoke up. "It sort of just crashed into us. The pilot inside was dead though when we came across it."
"Do you know what type of species it is? The pilot I mean."
"No…"
"I do!" Gagnor raised his hand. "The side of the ship said that it was of Irken making and so that creepy little green guy inside of it must have been an Irken pilot! That would only be logical."
"Could we see the ship then boys?"
They nodded in unison and then stepped back to a mass covered in a white sheet. The twins yanked it off and revealed an Irken vessel. It was rather beat up and looked like it had come straight down seeing as there was a crater in the image shot not too far away. The window for seeing outside had caved in but the thrusters looked like they could withstand. It was an older Irken vessel version. A fighter ship or a carrier perhaps. Either way it was a beautiful piece of machinery.
Zim smiled. "They sure don't make them like they used to…"
A very large, fat Bludgeon stepped up behind the boys and placed a clawed hand on either one of their shoulders. Gagnor cringed with pain. "Watch it bub! That thing hit me you know!"
Well I guess that explains his eye thing…
The fat Bludgeon had one a black suit with a blue bowtie and had the largest smile planted on his face. "I, mayor Hip, am proud to say that these two fine orphan boys have decided to donate this magnificent artifact to the government for study." Gagnor and Gagnex's eyes widened in surprise and then their eyebrows narrowed with hatred and contempt. Perhaps even a hint of loath. "Hopefully with this we will learn more about the Irkens. What a marvelous race with such a marvelous machine!"
"You're a liar!"
The camera turned and caught sight of a younger looking Bludgeon girl walking up to them. She had very long hair down to her backwards knees and a silent looking face. Her eyes were diminutive and she looked drained yet conscious at the very same time. Her clothing consisted of a pair of blue pants and a black shirt with a Bludgeon skull picture on the front in gray. Her hair, like everyone's, was blue as was her skin.
"He's a fraud! My brothers said that they didn't want to sell their ship but then he threatened them! Don't listen to him! Mr. Hip is a bad, bad man!"
The camera turned back to the Bludgeon who had his hands up like he had just been caught doing something very naughty. "This child must be mistaken. These two have no other siblings…"
"Yes we do!" The twins proclaimed in unison. "That's our sister, Gna!" The Bludgeon girl ran up and stood in front of Gagnor. He wrapped his arms around her as if he wished to protect her from the rest of the world and not let a soul touch her. "And she's right. We didn't say that you could have our ship!"
The mayor seemed to be getting agitated and so he raised his voice at the children. "Now see here. This machine landed on government property and I will be taking it with me!"
"This is our property! None of you should even be here!"
"You can't own property! You're all orphans!"
"Don't say that! We're not orphans!" Gna started to cry. "We're not orphans! Tell him brothers!"
The twins nodded in agreement with their sister. "That's right," said Gagnex. "We're not orphans! Our parents are still alive! You'll see! You'll see that they haven't left us to rot! They're still out there somewhere and one day they'll come back for us! They'll come back and we'll be one big happy family again!"
"That will never happen you foolish children!" The mayor was screaming now. He had obviously lost his temper but the cameraman and reporter were merely watching the scene. There was a glimpse of other cameramen and reporters in the area but they did the same thing. "Your parents were fools who believed that they could make it to other planets from foolish theories and look where it got them! Lost in space! Probably dead!"
"Don't say that!"
"They're dead you fools and so you're orphans! That means that no one but the government owns this property! I am taking this ship and you are all going to an orphanage! Whether you're separated or not I do not care!" Hip snapped his fingers and from off screen marched in six hulky bodyguards. Two of them took hold of the children whereas the others left to the ship and began to task of lifting it from its spot and carrying it all the way back to the governing building in the center of town.
"No! Stop! Let go of me!" Gna was lifted up into the air by one of the hulky bodyguards and then was thrown over his shoulder as he grabbed for Gagnex.
The other minder went for Gagnor who was thrashing about. Gagnor whipped out of his grasp and made a dash only to be grabbed by what hair he had and pulled back with such force that his very eye patch was ripped from his head.
A gasp and silence fell over the crowd as Gagnor's eye socket was revealed to them all. Gna stopped thrashing and stared at her brother in horror. The cameras fixed in on the boy. Gagnex looked at his twin and let his mouth hang open. He did not even care to escape when the Bludgeon guard let go of his arm. "Oh… Brother…"
Gagnor's eye was completely gone. Where once there had been a colored pupil there was nothing but a hole. It was bloody and bruised all around the rim. A silent trickle of black Bludgeon blood dripped from the socket. Gagnor took his index claw and whipped it up. He stared at the black on his blue skin for a moment and then realized something. The guardian had let go of him.
He made a dash for the second Bludgeon defender who was holding his sister and brother. The boy rammed his body into the other's stomach and then caught his sister as she fell into his arms. He signaled to Gagnex who followed him down to the ship.
The cameras watched the whole thing but no one made any move to stop the orphans.
Gagnor threw Gna into the air, whipped around and drove his foot into the mouth of one guard and then bounded off. He struck a second defender in the soft spot and then leapt up into the air where he caught his sibling once more. The Bludgeon boy landed on the ground with a thud and then bounded off the soil once more. This time with Gagnex at his side.
They slid through the air and then landed on top of the ship. The two remaining bodyguards dropped it with the added wait and were swiftly knocked out. Gagnex hopped though the broken glass window and looked around the interior of the ship.
Zim smiled. No way they can crack the codes of an Irken ship. Only someone of our planet or someone of great intellect would be able to do it.
The ship began to levitate as Gagnor and Gna piled inside to sit next to their brother.
Now I know where the brain in the duo comes from.
The twins then flew off in the ship.
Zim stopped the transmission.
He looked out the window at the cold blackness that was space. It seemed welcoming in a heartless, deep manner. He almost felt drawn to it.
The scanner next to him bleeped with light. As he looked down he noticed something large close to his ship out of the corner of his eye. The veil of black space had once hid it but the lack of stars in the area had specified the existence. He turned his head to see a moderately outsized black ship suspended behind the moon, close to the Earth. The ship had a long deck with one, single, thin window that stretched from one side all the way over to the other. The thrusters were very narrow but were of a great manufacture so they could move through space with amazing speed and still remain silent. The hull of the ship was completely smooth after the deck save for the two, downwards wings that protruded from the side.
Zim raised an eyebrow. That's one of Gagnor and Gagnex's fleet ships… He smiled. Time to see what's going on in those little Bludgeon heads of theirs…
He pulled on the throttle and let the ship rear around and head straight for the ship.
(Me)
Ok… So what did you guys think of the past I gave to the twins? Was it an ok start? For those you that may not know, the twins dislike their own race. This is merely one of the reasons.
In truth Bludgeons are a truly nasty species with a harboring hatred of anyone that would appose them. This species is relatively aggressive and will fight whenever they are provoked, usually without a true need to do so. You know how I said that they were strong? Well they're not just strong, strong. They're like super hero strong. Like superman. Compared to other species, although they are looked down on, if they had ships to leave their planet that would most likely conquer the cosmos. That is the reason they were locked away in one galaxy on one planet. Because of their aggression and need to kill. That is the reason that no one else will accept them. That is how Red and Purple came to gain the twins' trust. By convincing them that they were different when really they were only using them to take over said planet and wipe out the Bludgeon race once and for all.
However, even if the bomb were to go off the Bludgeons would remain alive. Does anyone know what they can do? No… Never mind. I've said too much already…
