p.s. sequel to The Destruction and the Rebirth
(Zims house, some two hours ago)
" Alright Zim,". Derek said, sitting on a pile of broken floor boards. " What's so important that you gotta tell me"?
Zim shiffted in his seat, trying to get a itch or something, then staired at Derek. " Do you ever wonder why the Gorgon was experimental, Derek"? He asked in his usual all knowing tone(well I think he's got an all knowing tone at least).
Derek scratched the back of his head and stared blankly at Zim. " What's a Gorgon"? He asked as a fly went buzzing bye.
Zim fell backwards on the couch, then quickly picked himself back up and pointed a finger, er.. claw, I don't know, hand sharpy-pointey-thingy, at Derek. " You're a freaking idiot. How could you not remember the name of somthing that's been stuck in your arm three times already"?
Derek seemed to get a light bulb shine above his head. ( granted it was one of those old fifty-styles ones, but a lightbulb non the less). He then reached into his pocket and produced the Gorgon. " Oh you mean the light saber thing( I no own Star Wars)". He then started twirling the blade around. " I always thought you got this from a bad fanfiction idea". Anyone thinking this is getting too out there yet?
Zim slapped himself in the face(self-abusive) and growled angirly at Derek. " No I did not get it from a damn fanfiction, it was made on my home planet Irk, and if you'll let me tell you what the thing is I-".
" Wait, what do'ya mean home planet"? Derek cut in.
" I'm an alien that was sent here to destroy Earth, you know I had to come from somewhere". Zim said, matter a factly.
There was a long silence and then Derek jumped up and pointed a finger at Zim. " Oh my god, your an alien"!
" Well duh Eienstien,". Zim felt like he was talking to the most idiotic person in the galaxy. " I mean, I know my human outfit is amazing and all(praise the zipper), but you could not have noticed the obvious sighns".
" Like what"? Derek asked, sitting down again.
Zims eye began to twitch. " I'M GREEN YOU F#&!# IDIOT"! Zim yelled. Zim then took a couple of breaths and began to talk calmly, yet with a hint of irritation. " Just what were you thinking when you first saw me"?
Derek shrugged. " I don't know. Guy who paints himself for attention". He was then hit by a piece of wood. " Hey"! He said, rubbing his noggin.
" Fell from the roof". Zim said as he dusted off some splinters. He then leaned forward. " Now, seriously, you need to know what's going on".Derek, with a huge bump on his head, nodded. Zim then cleared his throat and began.
" Hundreds of Earth years ago, my planet was on the verge of loosing a great war to another galaxy destroying planet. We were woried that we might loose the battle, so our leaders, The Tallest, decided to create a Irken super weapon. The super weapon was to be used to enhance the wielders abilities ten-fold, but, like all great ideas, somthing fucked up. The one in charge of the building of the weapon was Tallest Krok. He had been there the first time the weapon was tested. They had selected an Irken soldier and had ordered him to insert the weapon into his body at any point. The soldier and a few others were in a sealed room, while Tallest Krok and the other Tallest watched from a two way mirror. The Irken had inserted the weapon into his body and he had been lightly covered with a thin crystal like substance. The Tallest were sure they had found they're super weapon. But then, it happened. All of a sudden, the soldier began to shake wildly. The other Irkens in the room ran to him and tried to sedate him, but he swated the away like flies. Then a blinding light filled the room and then nothing. When the Tallest opened they're eyes, they saw that all the Irkens in the room had been mummifed, almost stone like. The Tallest discharged the creation of the weapon, they dubbed it a hazard to they're mighty army. Tallest Krok was the one who made sure all of them were distroyed. When it came down to giving the weapon a name, he called Gorgon". Zim stopped and let Derek take all of this in. When he had first heard the story of the might weapon, he had been stuned too.
Derek shook his head and then looked at Zim with confusement. " Wait, I thought you said that they destroyed all of the weapons, so how did this one get away"? He asked indicating to the handle of the weapon.
" Many said that one had been kept, in case that one day we may find a way to fix the problems". Zim stopped and sighed. " I had found it while on my way to the assighnment of planets. It was just lying there on the ground. I didn't think much of it at first, I just figured I could trade it for some snacks. So I picked it up and went on to the assinghning".
" One more thing," Derek began. " You said that the soldier that tested this was turned to stone and the others around him, so why didn't I get turned to stone like them Zim". He seemed to have a hate in his eyes.
Zim took in a deep breath. " Because Derek," He said now looking at Derek directly. " He was Irken, and your human. At least for now". He whisspered the last part, but Derek heard it loud and clear.
" What do you mean, for now"? Derek asked, raising an eyebrow.
" I did some tests on you blood from before the Gorgon was inserted and after it was inserted. It showed that the blood from the Irken soldier that used it was still in the inner corners of it, was taking over your own blood cells". He then sat back. " In other words, the next time you use the Gorgon, you will become an Irken".
(Present)
There was a blinding light that filled the entire lower section of the stairs. Zim covered his eyes and then looked. He awwed at what he saw.
Dereks entire lower body had been covered in the crystal like substance that had previosly covered his arm. The crystals had ad his feet go into a sort of bird like form, where he had a split in the front and a straight one to the back. It traveled up to his abdomen and stopped. On his back, or near his ass, a tail had been formed. It was thin and had to be at least four feet long. It was lined with spikes that looked like they could puncture metal. But All of this was not what had mad Zim stare in amazement at Derek. No, Zim had been expecting a different form when Derek had told him to stick the Gorgon in his stomach. What he hadn't been expecting was for Derek to be...red.
All Irkens have been green, but Derek was red. A dark red actually. He had been given some of the Irken features but also retained some of his human ones. For instance, Irkens had only three finger like claws, but Derek had kep another finger to show like he had fused his ring finger and his middle finger together. Another thing was his eyes. Irkens somethimes had slightly lighter eyes, but once again most had either red or purple. Derek, had blue. He had not kept his human pupils, but insteat took on the Irken eye. It was like an insect eye, only bigger. He had kept his hair and had sprouted a pair of antennae that sliced back. His teeth were now in a more zipper line patter and bigger.
Derek looked himself over and laughed. That surprised Zim, seeing as how Derek had taken on a completly different appearance. Derek then stopped and looked over at Zim. " So, you ready to go kick Nympus's ass or what"? His voice had gotten a little lighter than usual.
Zim smirked and nodded. Then noticed that they were at the begining of the stairs and it would take forever to reach the top now.
Derek noticed this, then walked over to Zim and grabbed his collar. " See'ya at the top buddy".
" What the hel-AHHHHHHHHHH"! Zim was launched upward at an amazing speed and was soon unseen to Derek. Derek then got into a running position and prepared to run like hell.
(Gaz, Tak, and knocked out Dib)
Tak had returned shortly after Zim had told her to head back, and saw Dib laying unconcious on the floor with Gaz nex to him, wetting his forehead with a cloth. She quickly rushed over and looked him over. She quickly got a med kit from her pack and started fixing Dib up.
Now, Tak sat next to Dib, checking on him every few seconds, while Gaz searched for his glasses that had been knocked off when you went electrical a while ago. Tak was checking Dibs pulse when he started stir. He then sat up with a struggle and rubbed his head.
" Huh, where am I-"? He started but was quickly cut off as Tak GLOMPED the hell out of him.
" Oh Dib I thought you were dead, I'm so happy your okay, don't ever do anything that stupid again you got it you dumbass". She said all this as she hugged onto Dibs chest.
Dib Smiled and lefted Taks face to where he was looking down at her face. " Don't worry,". He said. " I won't ever anything like that again, okay"?
Tak nodded and Dib smiled. He then leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Tak was taken by surprise at this, but eventually subsidded and kissed Dib back. Dib moved his hand to Taks breast and then.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"! Zim comes crashing through the stairs and lands in a heap of dust about two feet away from Dib and Tak. ( Ha, you though you were gonna get some lemony DATR there didn't yah. Yeah, your all sick little perverts on the inside. No offense, I'm probbably the biggest perv of them all).
Dib and Tak seperated and went over to Zim. Gaz came over and knelt beside him. She started shaking him and slapping him. " Zim, Zim, wake up you green idiot".
Soon Zim woke and actually stood up, doing a dynamic pose. " Ha, puny stairs well not stop the great Zim, for Zim cannot be stopped by anything, bwahawuha"!
" Really Zim," Said a voice from behind the four. They turned and saw Nymphus standing there with Shade knocked out in one of his arms. " Because the last I remember, you were nearly beaten to death by me last time we met". He dropped Shade onto the ground and smilled evily at them. " You've all done well, making it this far. But this is where you die". He then started to walk forward, then stopped. The stairs suddenly started to shake and a light a coming from below the the lower section. Soon a blazing streak of fire could be seen coming along the spiral stairs. Then it came to the where they all were and a huge gust of wind blew. Nymphus was then knocked back into the wall, cracking into it. In his previous spot stood Derek, with two flamming streaks coming from behind him.
" Yipee-kai-yay mother Fucker".
A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys, I had testing and the freaking ear infection came back so it's been pretty hectic for me. For Jasmine, if she reads this part, please do an art of a scene from this fanfic. I have had to work up the courage to ask that so please consider. And for GunGreg, please hurry with HTTR, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for that. Peace.
