Chapter 15

revelations

Kim and Zim stepped off the teleport pad just as the giant covered gift was beamed aboard the massive. "When do we get to open the present?!" Purple shrieked. Red just glared at Zim suspiciously. Kim smiled brightly and dropped a curtsy to them both who only stared curiously at her. "Soon my tallest. But first your new torture substance must be shipped aboard." They both grinned at that and made 'gimme' gestures at the vials she began to pull out of her pockets.

"You really are a smart one Kim especially for someone whose scans came up that way not too many months ago. Maybe this planet has aided in your mental development in some strange way. But I digress you get one reward for this amazing little 'acid' and another if you can locate the traitor aboard our ship and identify him." Kim smiled all the more brightly and looked around the room, antennae twitching while every strand of her so called hair stood on end.

Purple's interest was instantly piqued. "What exactly happens when your hair does that?" he questioned softly. Kim looked at him and decided to answer truthfully. "Every little strand is a micro antennae. When I am actively using them my hearing is easily double yours maybe even triple. I could detect even the slightest abnormality in a body or vital sign." She then pointed to a single tall Irken that was at the control panels. "He's hiding something."

Red went over and searched the Irken thoroughly and found a vial of the precious water hidden in the soldier's uniform. "Who gave you this?" He asked with eyes narrowed. The Irken wouldn't answer so Red splashed the liquid in his face as Purple said Kim had done. He then smiled sadistically at Kim. "There a numberless Irken somewhere aboard our ship. Find him and destroy him Kim. If you do this I'll personally see to it you become a tallest understand?" She nodded and began her search of the massive.

Once they were sure she was long gone Zim was restrained and they looked at him menacingly. "Tell me Zim how long do you think it'll take her to realize it's a trap?" Purple purred against Red's antennae. Red grinned wickedly. "I don't know considering that her brother and her are pointing lasers at your heads." Zim smiled evilly. "What?" Purple screamed and spun around with Red. Nobody was there. They blinked and started laughing nervously until they heard two thuds, turning to see Zim standing over two fallen soldiers that were vastly superior to him.

"But how?" came Purple's quiet slack jawed question. "Hit a guy in his spooch hard enough and down he goes." Zim grinned like the cheshire cat. "Time to bring the pain." He then ran over to the giant 'gift' and yanked the sheet off revealing a giant sculpted doom machine. "Ready my tallests?" Zim had a look of pure malice on his face as he slammed a fist down on the large red button at the base of the statue. The mock hatch popped open to reveal a hidden teleport pad and immediately it activated popping water gun armed vortians aboard the vessel. "Run my tallests." Zim cackled darkly.

They ran. There was nothing else they could do but run. Purple went wailing the entire way into an air duct until Red slammed his hand over his co-ruler's mouth to quiet him. "Hush. We've got to pull ourselves together Pur. Listen to me. Zim just betrayed us outright. Now we need to find Ita, request back up, and kill Zim and Kim. You got all that?" Purple nodded at Red and Red dropped his hand before he kissed Purple hard enough to bruise his lips. "Remember, no matter what we have each other." Screams carried up to the air duct they were in and the smell of smoke wafted in as well. "Come on Pur, let's get out of here. If all else fails we can get away in the escape pods and blow the massive to flaming smithereens." they began to crawl along until they found the cell block and crawled out of the duct.

They were greeted by the sound of a laser powering up behind them. "Don't even move." All that anger and hatred, every bit of ice and venom she'd shown Zim on her first day on earth was now directed at Red and Purple. "How did you do it?" Red queried quietly noticing the ground littered with Irken bodies just outside the room Tak was in. "Easy. I was listening to them shuffle, breathe, play with their lasers, shift around. All the discipline in the world couldn't have saved them from me. Tell me. Am I useless still?"

Red's antennae twitched towards the door but Kim ignored it and powered the laser up further so that it would easily take out whatever was at the door since they were facing it. "You would've made a great Irken Kim." he sighed softly. Before he came up with an idea. "Before you kill us...could I get a kiss perhaps?" Kim only scowled. "Not on your life purebred scum." He smiled and turned around slowly leaving Purple to gape as she shot him in the leg. It was only a warning shot and it only grazed him but he kept smiling and stepped closer until the laser was against his chest. His face was only inches from hers and she pressed the laser into his chest harder. "You'd really deny us a last request?" Kim's scowl deepened. "Yeah, I would." Red leaned closer. "You'll make an excellent tallest." He breathed it against her antennae and the brush of his breath had her faltering.

It would be so easy. So very easy to run back to them. To run crying to them. To worship them and love them. To crawl back on hands and knees and beg forgiveness. To save them. Then it struck her. Her breath faltered and she plunged ahead, pressing her lips to Red's. A look of shock came over his face and then he pulled her into a deeper kiss, sliding his tongue along hers. She moaned slightly and he ran his fingers through her micro antennae eliciting a gasp from her. She broke the kiss panting and licked her lips. She glanced at Purple who was gaping and back at Red. "Alright. I'll help you. Even in spite of the fact that your people were trying to kill me on my way down here. Let's get you off this ship until it's safe." She moved off with Red in tow who in turn dragged Purple by the wrist.

Kim rounded a corner and several vortians began firing randomly at her. She choked on a scream as one of the needles hit her in the shoulder. She went back around the corner and looked back at the two tallest, mouthing the word 'run' to them. They followed her instructions and ran the opposite way. She followed quickly behind them and set her laser to fire in a cone just as the vortians rounded the corner. All that was left after she fired was ashes. Without a word she pulled the nearest tallest into a fierce kiss. Red's eyes went wide at the feel of her lips on his before he relaxed into it. Maybe he wouldn't have to turn Purple into a woman after all.

She broke the kiss panting yet again. "Let's go." And she moved off yet again, laser at the ready. Just then Lie stepped in her path. Her eyes narrowed. "What are you doing here soldier?" He grinned sheepishly and saluted to her. "The escape pods are fully functional and one has been prepared for the tallests immediate escape." She saluted back and gave him a congratulations. "My tallest we must hurry." with that she had Lie lead the way. Neither tallest recognized him from earlier they just assumed the burns on his face were from the battle going on now. How disappointed they would soon be.
