p.s. sequel to Speed Demon
Zim threw a piece of floor Debriee at Derek. Derek spun around angirly and pointed a finger at Zim. " What the hell was that for"?! He yelled as he rubed the back of his head. Zim wiped the dust fro his hands and then walked up to Derek.
" Oh I don't know, how about the fact that you threw me two-thousand feet up and sent me crashing through the stairs"! Zim said as he angirly shook his fist at Derek.
Derek rubbed the back of his head and laughed shakily(is that even a word?). " Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that".
Zim growled at him. " What do you mean you forgot? It happened like two minutes ago"!
Derek raised his shoulders up and down. He then turned back to the rubble that Nymphus had created when he hit the wall. As he looked over his "handy work", Derek noticed a white lump on the floor. Shade. His eyes widened as he raced forward to pick her up. He was quickly knocked back and sent flying into Zim. They both rolled and quickly picked themselves up to see what had happened.
Nymphus was standing where Derek was a few seconds ago, his foot on Shade's unconcious body. His cloak had been ripped when Derek hit him and sent him smashing into the wall. His neck was twissted, as though it were broke. He put both of his hands on either side of his neck and quickly snapped it back into place. " Not bad Derek. You actually managed to cause me pain twice. Not many people get to brag after they're first attempt". He then stepped off Shade and moved forward. " I promise you there will not be a third time".
Derek was growling(and not like Zim's growling earlier. This growling was of pure hatred and anger) and clenching his fists. He then looked at Nymphus and pointed a finger. " Everytime we meet, it seems that you cause nothing but pain." He bent forward a little. " But this time, the only one dealing with pain will be you". He then shot off towards Nymphus at lighting speed. He threw a punch at him. Nymphus caught it and smiled.
" Your faster, I'll admit that".
Derek threw another punch but Nymphus caught it with his free hand. Derek then went to knee Nymphus in the gut, but was stopped by Nymphus's...hand?! Derek eyes widened in confusion as a fourth hand shot out and nailed him in the face. He was sent backwards and was about to fall off the edge before Tak get him with her spider legs. She placed him back on the steps and stepped beside Zim who was in front of her. " Ready Zim"? She asked as she readied her metal appendages.
Zim did the same. " Ready". They both charged at Nymphus and sliced at him with their claws. Nymphus grabbed one of Tak's and pulled her forward where one of his other three arms punched her in the gut. Zim sliced off one of his Nymphus's arms, causing him to release Tak. He jumped back and looked at the stump he had now. He ran his hand over the cut off area, and a second later an arm poped out(like when piccolo got his arm blew off and it regrew with all that slime stuff on it). He wriggled the fingers and glared at the Two Irkens.
" I can see this is going to be more difficult than I thought. No matter, you have but seen only half of my true power". He quickly tore off his robe. Revealing his body. It had no features on it what so ever. It looked as though it were constantly shifting. He then closed his eyes and started to breathe slowly. Then his eyes shot open and he screamed like a wild animal. The scream sounded like a mix between a wolf and a car horn(no seriously, that's what I think it would sound like). He then bent over and clutched his stomach. His spine then started to crack and he soon started to rip at the sides of his stomach. Soon he started to grow, ripping and tearing his skin in the process. He arms started stretching out and reached to be four feet long. His hight reach ten feet and stopped. He started breathing slowly and loudly. " Behold"! His voice was rigid. " My true power"! He then appeared behind Tak and Zim and swiped them with one arm. They were sent off the stairs and hit the other side.
Derek shot forward and sidekicked Nymphus in the side. His foot hit, but it caused little damage, and Nymphus grabbed and swung him into the wall. He pulled him out from it and slammed him into the floor. He grabbed Derek by the hair and made him look over at Shade's motionless body. " Do you see her Derek"? He asked in his evil voice. " Take a good look, because this will be the last time you ever see her again". He then slammed Dereks face into the ground again. He raised it once more, but was stopped as Dib through a knife into the back of his spine. Nymphus dropped Derek and turned to Dib. Dib shot two more knifes, this time with electricity, at Nymphus. Nymphus swiped them away and was suddenly behind Dib. Dib spin kicked at Nymphus but was stopped by Nymphus's hand.
" Gaz now"! Dib screamed. Suddenly a rain of gunfire hit Nymphus and he dropped Dib who rolled over out of the way.
Gaz kept fireing at Nymphus until she ran out of bullets. She dropped the gun and pulled out a hand grenade from her pocket. She pulled the cord and tossed it at Nymphus. He turned just as the grenade exploded in his face. Gaz was knocked down from the blast. The smoke cleared away and showed a dismanteled Nymphus on the floor.
" Alright Gaz". Screamed a dusty Dib from the side. " You nailed his ass".
Gaz, though, wasn't too sure. She drew a pistol and carefully walked over to Nymphus's corpse. She kicked and sighed when nothing happened. " Yeah, I guess I did". She lowered her gun and started to turn back to check on Dib, when she heard a russtling sound from behind. She spun and aimed her gun but it was too late. Nymphus had reformed his body and clapsed Gaz's gun in his hand, preventing her from fireing. He then lifted her up in the air and brought her close to him.
" You have a lot of evil in you child". He said as he edged his face closer to her. She wiggled, trying to get out of his grasp. He smiled and brought a hand back to strike at her. He stopped and jerked, releasing Gaz in the process, and looked behind him. Zim had grabbed onto Nymphus's spine and began twisting it, causing Nymphus's face to contort in pain.
" If you ever touch her again, I will kill you". Zim said as he twisted Nymphus's spine again. He then yanked back and threw Nymphus off the stairs. Nymphus grabbed onto the edge at the last second and jumped onto the other side. He soared through the air and landed with a crash. He turned back and glared at Zim. He was then sent into the wall by Tak's spider legs.
Zim Bent down to Gaz and checked to see if she was okay. Gaz looked away, not wanting to seem vulnerable. ZIm noticed this and turned her face towards him. " Did he hurt you"? He asked. She shook her head and he relaxed. He then looked at her again. " Gaz, look, I don't think your vulnerable okay"? She looked back at Zim. " In fact, I think your one of the most freaking scariest earth girls I ever met. It's just..". He stopped as he tried to find the words. " You know how GIR is a little over protective about his tacos"? Gaz then widened her eyes.
" Oh my god, GIR"! She said as she looked around. " We forgot about him Zim. We never even looked for him when we crashed". She started to get a little teary and put her head onto Zim's chest. " I should of checked for him, I should of made sure he-". She was cut off as Zim put a finger, or claw, I don't know!, to her mouth.
" It's okay Gaz, theres nothing we could've done". He hugged her towards him and she hugged him back. He then tilted her face up towards his, they looked each oter in the eyes and started edging closer together. Soon they were less than an inch away when.
" TACOOOOOOS ARE GOOOOOD"! GIR came running up the steps in his green doggy suit and jumped onto Zim's head. " How'ya doing masta'. I missed u' a whole lot". He then began kissing Zim's head.
Gaz reached up and pulled GIR into a loving hug and bagan smothering him with kisses. " GIR'ly I was worried sick about you". She continued kissing him as Zim cursed under his breath.
" Yay! Boobies"! GIR screamed.
" GIR! What have I told you about such awfull language". Zim said wagging the finger of shame.
GIR acted as though he was thinking and then said. " Not in front of the pretty lady"? He asked, indicating Gaz.
" Yes, I mean no, I mean, oh f# I don't know"! Zim then turned and noticed Tak and Dib were busy fighting Nymphus. " Gaz I gotta go help them. You check on Derek and Shade". He then prepared to Jump, but was held back as Gaz grabbed his sleeve.
" I can help Zim, I'm not some helpless-". She was stopped as Zim picked her up and kissed her on the mouth while GIR was crushed in the middle.
" Yay! Bow-chicca-bow-wow"! He screamed.
Zim released Gaz and smiled at her. " I already told you that your not helpless. I just need someone to make sure Derek didn't get his dumbass killed".
" I heard that". Derek said, still on the ground.
Gaz smiled up at Zim and hugged him one last time. " Just don't get yourself killed okay"?
Zim clenched his fist and his teeth sparkled. " Foolish earth girl, no puny four armed, ten feet tall, regenerating mad man could stop the great and powerfull Zim"! He quickly kissed her and jumped off to the other side of the stairs. Gaz ran over and checked up on Derek and Shade.
