Chapter 5

"So that is what cock-blocker means, I'm not going to use falsehood but it was kind of stupid." Zim said as they were working on the ship.

The process was going very well with a few minor Gir related hiccups for example he ate several nuts and bolts also to what Gir thought to be a taco. Surprisingly to Zim Gir did eventually help them out along with the project. Currently Zim is working on the engines for he know how to use F.T.L (faster than light) technology Dib is working on the interior work making room for 6 occupants Gir is helping him and Zita is on the weaponry supply. Placing Dib's guns in the supply closet he had 2 Smith and Wesson 50. Caliber magnums, an AR15, an m1014 shotgun, a pair of Usp45's and finally several flash bangs. A bit of an unnerving feeling filled Zita when Johnny came by to place his knifes and other bladed weapons in the supply room knowing in her heart how many times they were probably used. Since the use of the antigravity lift that Dib's dad invented a while ago came in handy when it was time to load up the missiles and such. Gaz herself did eventually did come by now and again to help to everyone's surprise underneath her evil there was a genius there. Once she began to help the process doubled in time.

Weeks into the process, Dib noticed that the ship began to get really large but it never came anywhere near the ceiling. For a while Dib decided not to notice until the ship was clearly as big as the house and the garage was only about half that size. Looking down from the top of the ship Dib knew that something strange was going on.

"Zim what the hell is going on, this ship is a hell of a lot bigger then my house and we are in my garage." Looking very of proud of himself Zim came back out of the engine area to point at the device that Zim took from his base.

"See that Dib human we are currently in a manufactured dimension created by the space distortion device. No limitations for space here we have limitless space for us to complete this ship." Gaz who was currently helping Zita finish up on the weapon systems peered over to see the device.

"Hey Dib shut the fuck up your wife and I are working here to help us survive this mission. I know now that I am interrupting nerd time but if you can notice Zita and I need silence while we are loading this last missile."

"Excuse me Gaz I think that I will use my coupon and continue my conversation with Zim here."

"Fuck…" For the first time in her life she was defeated by her brother and she won't let him get away with it for very long.

Ultimately after about a month of hard work it was done. It was as big as a two person home more than enough space for the six of them. Its cockpit was made from Tak's ship the rest was used from material from Dib's fathers' lab. Nobody's surprise the illusive Dr. Membrane was elsewhere during this whole month process.

Giving the ship a final look through with his scanners Zim was very satisfied with the work that was done. All that was left to do was to name it.

"Be proud of yourselves humans you done a very acceptable job with the ship here." Everyone stood around the ship looking at it in awe.

"What should we name it?" Zita said while thinking of a good name for it.

"How about Crimson Doom?" she finally said but Gaz gave her a disapproving face.

"That kind of sucks how about Dante's Lament?" Gaz said grinning for Dante's Inferno is her favorite poem.

"Don't worry honey Crimson Doom was pretty good how about The Loch Ness Big Foot from Outer Space…" silence fell on the room as Dib said that until Gaz came up behind him and biped him in the back of the head.

"Idiot what the fuck is wrong with you by the time the enemy reads it we already went past." Sulking Dib kind of said something under his breath like "I thought I was cool."

Squealing from the top of the ship Gir jumped down with a hammer in his mouth.

"Put that down Gir that's not for you." Dib said as he went to grab it only to have Gir jump away.

Reaching to the top of the ship again Gir turned around and made a triumphant stance.

"I have a good name for the ship and if it's good let me eat this burrito." A little annoyed Dib decided to humor him.

"Ok Gir, fine."

"Swear Dib cross you organs and hope to be disintegrated."

"Ok Gir I swear."

"The Crimson Lament…" after Gir said the name of the ship Gaz and Zita and Zim said in unison.

"That's a badass name Gir." Knowing not to argue especially with his sister Dib accepted the name and it was pretty badass.

"Very well Gir that is the name of this ship and as a man of my word enjoy that hammer I guess." Squealing Gir took the hammer and chomped down with a single bite.

Turning back to his comrades Dib hung his head.

"Man that was my favorite hammer too." Zim and Gaz both snickered but said nothing.

"Now that is done humans I guess you want to have a farewell celebration? By all means enjoy yourselves me on the other hand won't be there." They gave Zim a very strange look.

"Why not Zim we should have a good time while it lasts we may never again see this place again."

"It's not that Zita human I don't do well at parties…"

Gaz grabbed him by his collar.

"You're going and you are going to have a good time is that understood."

"Yes creepy human Gaz…"

Several hours later the group found themselves in a bar getting ready to celebrate. Johnny and Devi called ahead to rent out the bar for the six of them. Of course when they all got there the bouncer there went to I.D them only to find out that Zita, Gaz and Dib weren't 21 and therefore no good times.

"Hey guys you need to be 21 to come in here." The bouncer himself was a very herculean individual in so many words not a guy to fuck with.

Dib and Zita looked like two puppy dogs but it didn't faze the bouncer.

Remedying to the problem Zim took out what he called a mind-erasing device that looked like a metal pipe and hit him in the head with it. Gaz began to do something that she rarely did she laughed. Completely to the amazement both of Zita and Dib, Gaz was laughing something that she almost never done. Beginning to regain consciousness the bouncer got back up and looked at them with a confused face.

"Enjoy your time here Mister and Misses Membrane, oh and it is an honor to have you here Baron Von Zim and Baroness Gaz." Taking Zim's arm as a true actress would they walk into the bar to where Johnny and Devi were both hysterical at this sight.

Currently Dib and Zita were speechless apparently the pipe was a mind eraser device and it planted a new one.

None of that was strange to Dib having the bouncer to refer to Zita as Miss Membrane which is will become true. That not being the strange part the strangeness was the title that the bouncer gave Zim and Gaz and how they were walking hand in hand. Unable to get the thought out of his mind what was going on between Gaz and Zim. Everything about their behavior kind of bothered Dib they spent a lot of time with each other in his room and her room, she normally only allows Zita and Devi in her room no males. Whatever the reason Dib really didn't want to know he just hopes that Gaz isn't doing anything strange with him. So as they made their way to where Devi and Johnny were sitting.

"That was the funniest shit I ever seen Zim my man very good times." Devi said as she ordered another drink. Johnny and Devi arrived at the bar an hour before the others got there so they already have a couple under their belt as it were.

Flirtatious as she was Devi was beginning to hit on every one even Zita and Gaz which was kind of creepy to Dib and Zita, Gaz on the other hand just sat there at the table pulled out her Game Slave and began to portray herself very well. Having a great time himself Johnny who doesn't drink much just kept giggling like an idiot at his wife.

"You wanna go for some girl on girl action before we leave Zita…hic."

"No thanks honey, excuse sir can I have a Bloody Mary?" as the bartender passed Zita the cold perspiring glass she took a long sip.

Unbeknownst to the bartender and the confused bouncer that they were sitting near an alien and two former psychopaths.

"Would you like a drink Zim you are just sitting there." Johnny asked him as he passed him a drink Zim put up a hand refusing the drink.

"No thanks Johnny human I don't think that would be a good idea alcohol to my species is very fatal."

"Sorry dude how about you Gaz how about a little drink." Turning his attention to Gaz Johnny held his drink out to her.

"Just as Zim here said here Johnny alcohol is also fatal to my species as well."

"It's not fatal to us Gaz what are you talking about." Of course not really knowing Gaz very well anyone else that knows her would just shut up right there.

"Ok, well I would like to keep my scenes intact and to be aware all the time." To keep from an argument to braking out Dib decided to get down to business on the trip tomorrow.

"Now guys we need to talk about tomorrow and what is going to go down. Zim what is going to happen where are we going to go." Finally a conversation that Zim is involved in and that he is interested in.

Conservation is something that Zim has a problem with but he gets along with Gaz very well to Zim she is an entity that is the closest to what he is. With all that is strange about Gaz to Zim she is more Irkin and more interesting to talk to than anyone with him now. But with all that Zim and Dib been through Zim now considers Dib as a counterpart that a friend. Now Zim is going to begin his plan in its fullest to layout his cards.

"First we are going to travel 599,584,916 meters a second which will be about 2 times the speed of light once we breach Earth's atmosphere. Secondly we are going to hit a supply station to fuel up."

"Not to interrupt you Zim but how can we run out of fuel we are using an Ion Capacitor with a recharging device we don't need to refuel." Placing his hand in the air to silence him Zim began again.

"Just not to offend you Dib human but your equipment and technology is very primitive to what is out there. Back to what I was saying after we get a better capacitor I guess we will use stealth and take command of the massive. After that I have no idea what to do for there are only six of us." Zim looked kind of troubled for the plan sounded hopeless.

"I guess this may be a suicide trip huh Zim." Devi said.

"Well if I'm going to die I am glad to die trying to save this planet and with my beautiful wife." Zita kissed Dib but was a bit scared of what is probably going to happen.

"I'll tell you motherfuckers one thing I'm not going to go quiet I plan on taking those Almighty Tallest retards with me and I bet Gaz agrees with me." Looking up at Johnny, Gaz said on simple phrase.

"Fucken-A"

Clanging their glasses together they proceeded to continue with their party and prepare for the trip tomorrow.
