A/N: Ok, ready for the EPIC CHAPTER? HUH? ARE YA? Well, I'm just tellin' you now, it's a really, REALLY surprise twist. And it's so epic, I'm not gonna update for a WEEK so you can absorb all the info (technically, I'm going on vacation). So, you're just gonna have to wait a week for the next chapter.
Thanks again, Invader KT and GazmRules for reviewing!
Disclaimer: *sniff sniff* no, I don't own Zim. *sob* Oh, yeah, I don't own Sharpie either. (Who owns Sharpie?)
Chapter 7 – DOOM
"It's – big" whimpered Mib.
"Yeah" said Dib, his voice trembling slightly. "Real big."
Even Gaz looked slightly frightened. Zim was grim, (hehe, a rhyme) and GIR was, well, you know… :P. They were getting closer to the Massive's landing dock as quietly and slowly as they dared. When they landed safely inside, Zim said, "I'm going in alone. You can't follow because you would be recognized as non-Irkens."
"We're not waiting here when you're off doing God-knows-what!" Dib hissed, sounding like Ms. Bitters.
"Wait" said Mib, and the others could almost see a light bulb forming above her head. "I've got a plan."
5:58 a.m. –
"MOVE IT, MOVE IT! OUT OF MY WAY! IMPORTANT INVADER COMING THROUGH!"
You had to hand it to Zim; he could part a crowd like nobody's business. Striding through the corridors of the Massive, he shouted at people in his way. His faithful robot, GIR, walked behind the 'captured' Earth 'prisoners'. Mib, Dib, and Gaz tried to look scared as the Irkens stared in wonder at them as they marched by. After countless twists and turns (I used that already, didn't I? See chapter 1), they arrived at some sort of control room.
Zim pointed an accusing finger at the only Irken in the room, a janitor. "You get out!" he yelled at the unfortunate janitor. "The Tallest have ordered me to clear this room for these prisoners!" The janitor scampered out.
"Now," said Zim, "look around for the disc of doom. It's in this room somewhere." They promptly began tearing the room apart searching for the disc. Literally. GIR latched himself to the wall and was tearing chunks of metal out of it. After what seemed hours of searching, Zim cried out, "Here it is, I found it!"
He was holding what looked like a regular CD, except that it had 'Disc of Doom' written on it in black Sharpie.
Mib grinned hugely and pumped her arm into the air. "Yes! The Earth is saved!"
Zim glared at her. "Yeah, woo-hoo. Let's go." Suddenly, two voices from the back of the room rang out, "Not so fast!"
It was the Tallest.
"Well done Zim!" said Almighty Tallest Red in a mocking tone. "You almost destroyed the disc and saved the Earth. Almost. But, being the disgrace to Irken-kind that you are, you failed once again."
"You never learn Zim, do you?" continued Almighty Tallest Purple. "You are a failure Zim, a FAILURE!"
With a strangled scream, Zim launched himself at the Tallest, but Mib caught him and held him back.
"There's no time!" she yelled, and pointed behind the Tallest. There, an army was coming up with weapons pointed directly at the five rebels.
"Come on!" screamed Mib, her face flushed. "We've got to get out of here!"
"This way!" yelled Zim, dashing out of a side door as the army advanced. They then entered a room with a narrow catwalk stretching across a pit of fire. They had entered some sort of engine room.
"Toss it in!" yelled Dib at Zim. He was prohibited in doing so however, because six soldiers suddenly rushed at him. Zim tossed the disc to Mib who dropped it over the catwalk into the fire. Mib turned around, grinning, but suddenly an invader shoved her.
Her eyes wide and with a tiny 'Oh!' of surprise, Mib toppled backward into the inferno.
A/N: DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! Oh my God! How absolutely epic! I'm so cruel to you devoted readers! If you thought last chapter was a cliffhanger… this one blows it away. TOLD YOU IT WAS EPIC! I TOLD YA SO!
See you in a week!
