p.s. sequel to ZAGR(sweet)
Derek picked himself up and scratched his head. Gaz was by him in a second and checking his arms for bruises. " Go check on her". He said, indecating Shade. Gaz nodded and went over to her. Derek stood and popped his shoulder blade. He winced as he reopened a healed up wound from the first time he met Nymphus. Derek scowled as he recalled how when he fist heard the monsters voice and how it made his spine tingle. Then he smiled as he recalled how he first met Shade and how he had kicked him through the wall. He laughed after he remembered when he had heard the voice of his guide. All these things were brought by Nymphus, and they had defined him as the person he was now. He had a lot to thank for because of him, but he also had a lot to hate him for too. He had hurt Shade, turned him into an alien, okay that last one was okay but still. Derek clenched his fists and looked over to where the fighting was going on. " This ends now". He whisspered. He suddenly jumped off the ledge and soared towards Nymphus.
Zim was busy fighting off one of Nymphus's many arms when Derek came crashing into the monster. Zim jumped back and waited for the dust to clear. When it did, it revealed Derek had both his arms captured by two of Nymphus's. Zim dashed forward and aimed his spider legs at Nymphus's stomach. Nymphus caught the legs with one arm and used the other to swiped both Derek and Zim away.
Dib suddenly was in front of Nymphus and was glowing a dull white with blue sparks traveling over his body. He produced a dagger and it suddenly became engulfed in lighting. Dib shot forward at lighting speed and stabbed Nymphus in the right arm(the lower right one). Sparks explodded from Nymphus's arm as the dagger emmited more electricity. Dib began making more electricity and his eyes turned blue. Suddenly the light from him got bigger and bigger until it was blinding. Then, an explossion. It sent Derek and Zim across to the other side and they landed a few feet away from Gaz and Shade. Tak, who had been knocked down the stairs, watched as the explossion settled. There where Dib and Nymphus where was a crater. It was like a giant hole in the wall.
Tak looked around and finnaly saw him. Dib was on the ground, his trench coat burnt away leaving only his ripped black shirt and pants(yeah, somehow his thin layered pants surrvived a huge explossion. Thank you Stan Lee). Tak ran over to him and flipped him over so he was facing her. She checked his pulse and could tell he was alive. She sighed and looked at the surroundings. There was black stains everywhere that she guessed must've been Nymphus's blood. She smiled and spat at one of the blood stains. " It's what you get you bastard". She felt russtling and turned to see Dib staring back at her. She wrapped her arms around him and started crying. She felt his hand fall onto her back and trying to confort her. She lifted her head so that she was but a few inces away from his face. " Dib, I-". She was cut off as Dib put his finger on her lips.
" Tak,". Dib began. " From the moment I met you that day you came to kill Zim and to this moment right here, I've always loved you". Tak was about to say something, but was cut off again by Dib. " When I first saw you, you were in your human disquise and I had thought it was love at first sight, I was as happy as could be. You hated Zim as much as I did and kinda got turned on when you threw meat at him and burned his skin. I was sad when I found out that you were an alien, an Irken no less, and was just here to kill Zim and turn the planet into a snack holder. I figured that there was no way either of us could be together because of our different races. When you came back again to give Zim that warning device, I knew it was my only chance. I raced up to you that day hopping for the slightest hope that you would return my feelings. But, I was too stupid and didn't say anything to you and you left with me staying behind with my feelings. And now, your back again and I'll probably only have this one chance to tell you how much I love you".
Tak was now watery eyed from all the things Dib had said. It was true she had know for a long time he had had feelings for her and that when she first came to earth she only saw him as another earthling. But during her stay in the pod, hurteling through space, she had thought mostly of him. Now, being here with him right now, she knew she loved him. " I love you too Dib". She said and kissed him passionately.
Dib released from the kiss and looked up at Tak once more. " Then Tak I have one more thing to say". Tak nodded and waited for him. " Tak, will you marry me". He asked waiting for an answer. She made no sound for a while, just looked at him and he thought she was going to say no. Then she lowered her head and kissed him. When they parted she looked at him again and smiled. " Yes Dib," She said. " I will marry you".
" Awww, don't ya' just love these touchy moments". Came a voice above the two newly weds. They both looked up and say Gaz and Zim on the staircase above them(remember the explossion). They were both smiling and nodding. " Looks like my brother has finnaly become a man". Said Gaz as she looked down at her brother. " They're smeets are gonna be but ugly". Zim said to Gaz.
Tak jumped up as if to grab Zim and her eyes began to fire up. " Damn you you rejected piece of shit. I'll rip out your entrails if you talk about my smeets again". Dib held her back as she tried once more to kill Zim. " Now Tak, there's no reason to kill anyone on our wedding night". Tak stopped and nodded.
" Yeah Tak, there will be plenty of time after you two make some Spurgelax". Zim said again. Gaz gave a confused look and then Zim whisspered something into her and ear and she suddenly got a sly grin on her face.
" What's Spurgelax"? Dib asked. Zim was about to say something when an orange faced Tak cut him off with a raygun shot. Gaz and Zim quickly scurried off laughing. Tak growled and still had the slightest hint of orange on her face. " Tak, what's Spurgelax"? Dib asked again. " Well, you see...it's when an alien girl and an alien guy wish to...umm...". Dib put a hand on her cheek to stop from completely embaressing herself. " It's okay Tak, I get it". He said and she sighed. He then sat up quickly and brought his arm around her waist and whisspered into her ear. " And I can't wait". Tak then passed out from lack of blood. Dib's a playa'.;)
Zim and Gaz had calmed themselves down and had reached the spot where Shade and Derek was. Gaz was the first to spot the two. Derek was craddeling Shade next to him, rocking back and forth. Gaz and Zim sat down and looked over the two. " Is she okay"? Gaz asked.
Derek nodded and continued rocking. Then Shade began to stir and Derek loosened his hold on her. She cracked open an eye and looked up at Derek. She screamed and swiped out her hand, scratching Derek across the face. Derek released her from pure shock and she crawled over to Gaz who held her. Derek, who was still shocked sat where he was. " Shade it's fine, it's fine! That's Derek okay"? Gaz said as she tried to comfort her.
Shade shook her head furiously and buried her face further into the fabric of Gaz's shirt. " NO"! She screamed. " Derek can't be that monster". Derek shivered as he heard her call him a monster. He then stood and turned to Zim. " Make sure she's taken care of Zim". Derek said and began to walk up the stairs. Zim ran up and grabbed his shoulder. " Wait what're you going to do"? Zim asked. "Just going for a walk". Derek said, and then continued.
Zim came back over to Shade and Gaz and bent down. " Shade, that was Derek, you have to believe us". Shade slowly moved from Gaz and saw that Zim was telling the truth. She immediatlely felt horrible for what she had said to him. She looked and saw the he was already halfway up the stairs. She jumped up and ran towards him. He stopped when he heard her behind him and she stopped a few feet away. They stared at each other for a few moments and then Derek began to speak. " Shade, I know that the way I look is...disturbing". He looked down at the ground, not wanting to see her eyes. " But just so you know, I'm still-". He was cut off as Shade put her hand over his mouth which wasn't easy considering the hieght difference, so she had to stand on the tips of her toes. She then removed her hand and looked at him. " Derek, I'm sorry". She said this and then rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his body. Derek then wrapped his arms around her and held her closer. After a while Shade looked up at him and then reached out a hand towards his face. She touched the scar she had given him and got a little teary, she then moved her hand up towards his antenna's. She rubbed her hand over his left one and sent a shiver through him. She smiled as she saw the effect she gave him. " So, you like having your ears rubbed huh"? She asked. Before he could answer she rubbed his other antenna and he was sent another shiver. Shade began smiling as she enjoyed this. His ears felt like a furry velvet. While she continued rubbing, she noticed something that caught her interest. " Derek". She asked. He simply hmm'ed. " Is that a tail"? Dereks eyes shot open as he realized his tail had been...wagging. She smiled and looked up at him again. " Derek". She said as she moved closer, more like he was leftting her up. " Yeah"? He asked as they were mere inches away. " Your my hero". She said as she kissed him. " I know". He thought.
