Chapter 1 Death?
Dib woke up to the sound of a huge explosion followed by many fire engine sirens. The first thing that came to his mind was Oh no...Dad must have had an accident at the Lab. Dib put on his glasses and checked his clock. 10:30 pm. He got dressed and ran outside. There was smoke rising above the city, but not toward Dad's lab. The smoke was coming from Zim's house.
Dib ran down the street feeling the warm summer air on his face. This might be my chance to expose him. Dib thought evilly.
When Dib finally made it to Zim's house, the fire was out. All that was left of Zim's house was a giant hole.
Dib stood flabbergasted. His jaw hung open. The base was completely gone.
The blast had destroyed the two houses on the sides. The fire had burned down any evidence of Zim being an alien.
Ambulances came rushing to the scene to help the people nearby.
After about an hour, everything was quiet again. Four people had died. Zim was never found though.
Does that mean he's…dead? That means the Earth is safe…I won.
For some reason, Dib was not excited with this information. He was actually…sad.
Dib turned to leave, but something caught his eye. It was in a tree a few houses down. The moon's reflection shone off the metallic surface. Dib ran over to the tree and found Gir, or what was left of him. All that was left was Gir's head.
Dib picked up the damaged head and started for home.
It was about midnight when he finally made it home. Gaz was asleep in her room.
Dib sat on his bed and put the robot head on the ground. He was exhausted, but could not get himself to fall asleep. His mind was too awake. Zim is dead…Why am I so upset…I should be dancing and celebrating.
Suddenly the door bell rang, scarring Dib and making him jump. Who could that be?
"WHO THE HECK IS THAT?" Gaz screamed. She had been sleeping the entire time.
Dib ran downstairs to answer the door.
He opened the door slowly.
"Z..Zim?"
Zim was covered in burns. His disguise had been burnt off and his clothes were ripped around his shoulder.
His leg was bent in an awkward position. He looked terrible.
"What do you want," Dib said coldly.
"Well, filthy…I mean Dib. I need your assistance." Zim rasped.
"What? A superior irken invader needs help from a lowly human like me?" He said sarcastically. "Come on Zim, this must be one of your feeble attempts to conquer Earth."
"Dib…" Zim rasped. "Please…just…help…me."
"WHY should I help YOU? What have you done for ME?" Dib screamed.
Zim started to sway. His eyes rolled into his head and he fell forward unconscious.
