Chapter 4 Attack
~ON THE MASSIVE
"Purple, come look at this." Red said. Red was hunched over a computer screen.
"What is it, I was eating food." Purple said with food in his mouth and a chip bag in his hand.
"Zim's not dead." Red whispered.
Purple spit out the food, "How is that possible, we blew him up!"
"He must have escaped." Red moaned.
A figure stepped out of the shadows. "Maybe I can be of assistance my tallest."
Red and Purple jumped back.
"MAN THAT'S SKETCHY!" Purple screamed.
"Oh it's just one of the janitorial drones." Red sighed. "What do you want Tak?"
Tak stepped forward. "I have been trained. I could kill him...if you just give me the chance to…"
"Whoa, were did you get trained?" Purple interrupted.
"I was almost done with training, before Zim..." Tak said.
"Whatever." Purple said putting more of the chips into his mouth.
"PLEASE, I COULD KILL HIM. I NEED TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU. Oh, I can also get snacks for you on the way there…" Tak said.
"Say no more the mission's yours." Purple said.
Dib walked home from the mall. It was night; about 10 o'clock. He had bought Zim a new disguise.
He had bought a red hoodie so that Zim could put the hood up and hide his antennae and some sun glasses to disguise his magenta eyes. It wasn't much, but it was the best he could do.
Dib walked passed Zim's old base, well crater. Much to Dib's surprise, Zim stood in the middle of the wreckage. Wow he is a fast healer if his leg is already healed. Dib thought.
He did look a lot better than he did last night. His antennae were perked up over his head, his eyes weren't dull, and all the cuts and burns were almost gone.
"Zim, what are you doing here?"
Zim's antennae flicked and he turned around. "I…wanted to see if anything survived, but nothing did…"
"Aren't you worried about someone seeing you?" Dib asked climbing into the hole.
Zim shrugged.
"Well at least wear this." Dib said, handing Zim the hoodie and glasses.
Zim took the outfit and put it on. "You didn't have to do this you know…"
"I know, but I guess that's what friends do." Dib said.
Zim was still a little hesitant about them being friends, but held his tongue. He needed Dib.
Suddenly Zim's PAK started to blink.
"Zim…" Dib asked, "What's wrong with your PAK."
The flashing stopped.
"Umm, nothing." Zim said and climbed out of the hole.
Zim knew exactly what it was. A tracker. I am being tracked.
Suddenly, a rock hit Dib right on the head.
"WHAT THE HECK…" Dib screamed.
Zim walked over and picked up the rock. He stared at it for a few seconds then walked down the sidewalk.
"Zim, where are you going?"
"To get a ship and a SIR. Stay here, it'll get messy."
Dib picked up the rock that Zim had left. It had strange writing. Irken writing. Dib couldn't make out what it said.
Zim walked into the park.
He took of his makeshift disguise.
This is where the note said to meet. Zim thought.
"TAK COME OUT AND FACE ME YOU COWARD." Zim screamed.
A figure came out of the shadows. "Oh same old Zim, always eager for a challenge."
"What do you want Meekrob scum." Zim hissed back.
"Oh language, language, tsk tsk. I thought you were a little more civilized. Oh and look how you've grown; almost as tall as the tallest."
"Cut the crap and tell me why you're here."
"Oh don't you already know Zim." The figure said, stepping closer and closer, "I'm going to…KILL YOU."
Tak raced forward with her spider legs; lashing out at Zim. Zim dodged in the nick of time and retracted his spider legs too.
Zim rushed forward and hit one of Tak's spider legs, crushing it and breaking it off.
Tak cursed and looked at her spider leg surprised.
Zim lurched forward and pinned down Tak.
"It's no use Tak, I'm faster, stronger, and taller than you." Zim hissed.
"Yes," Tak smiled, "But you are completely alone. MIMI ATTACK."
Zim was knocked off his feet by the evil little robot.
He tried to defend himself from the two attackers, but it was no use. He could only do so much. He was still weak from the explosion.
Tak jumped onto his back and pinned him face down in the dirt.
"Now you dysfunctional trash, PREPARE TO DIE." Tak yelled.
She retracted her spider legs and put them on his PAK. She slowly ripped his PAK off.
Zim screamed as pain shot through his body.
As soon as she ripped his PAK off; she threw it to the side.
Zim saw his life clock appear in the corner of his eye.
Then Tak took her spider leg and cut a deep gash, which looked like an X, where the PAK had once been.
Zim screamed in pain. The blood from the cut dripped down his back.
"Goodbye Zim." Tak brought her spider leg up and was about to strike his head when something hit her in the head.
She was knocked off Zim from the impact.
"What the…AHHHHH" Tak cried as she rolled around on the ground.
Dib stepped out of the shadows with a bucket full of water balloons. He threw another one at Tak.
"Mimi, kill the boy." Tak said in pain.
Mimi tackled Dib, but Gaz stepped out behind a tree and pried the robot off of him.
Gaz pinned the robot down, while Dib grabbed his bucket and threw many water balloons at Tak.
Zim reached over and grabbed his PAK. He fastened it into place and tried to sit up, but he was in too much pain.
He lay on the ground, his vision blurred and the world was plunged into darkness as he passed out.
