Chapter 10 Fight for your life!
Author's note: I am glad that you guys like the story so far! I hope you keep reading and reviewing! Thanks everyone! Again, I'm sorry for the short chapters…but they're easier for me to make…
Gaz was scanning the controls, trying to figure out how to control the ship. It is more advanced than Tak's old ship! Gaz thought to herself.
She looked over at her brother, who had tears in his eyes.
"Well, crying about it does not help us you wimp! Come over and help me!"
Dib swiped away his tears and walked over to the controls.
They stared out the window. There were six of them in total. Six huge attack ships. About two times bigger than the one they were in. They retracted their laser cannons all at once. The lasers all turned the color blue as they started to charge.
"GAZ GET US OUT OF HERE!" Dib screamed at his sister.
"I'm trying, I'm trying!" Gaz said randomly pressing buttons.
Suddenly the sky (umm space) shone bright blue as the lazers were fired.
…
THUMP
Dib blinked his eyes. His vision was filled with little spots from the bright light of the lazer. He looked around in a daze. It almost felt like he was dreaming.
Am…am I dead? He thought to himself. He struggled to sit up, but it felt like his body was a hundred times heavier. He could only manage to lift his head.
He looked over at the driver's seat. It almost looked like Zim was working the ship.
"Z…zim?" Dib asked. His voice sounded weird. Almost slower. His vision blurred.
….
Zim rushed into the room.
"FIRK, FIRK, FIRK, FIRK!" Zim cussed as he frantically turned on the shield. The laser hit the shield causing the ship to lurch and Gir, Dib, and Gaz to fly back. Dib hit his head on the back of the ship. Hard.
Zim steered the ship quickly away from the other ships and fired up his own lasers. His defective mind was racing a thousand thoughts a second.
The ships are bigger, which means they will have a harder time maneuvering, but an easier time shooting.
Zim pressed multiple buttons. He flailed his hands over the keyboard. He turned the ship around and shot back at the ships. It did not do much damage. He swung the ship back around, preparing for another attack.
You know what…If I wasn't fighting for my life, this would be very fun…he thought merrily as he shot the ships.
"MWAHAHAHA" he laughed evily. Fighting…it was what he was born for…what he was raised for…what he was trained for!
Zim smiled as he maneuvered expertly around the slow ships.
Firk, I just wish I knew these controls better…
Zim was still having a hard time using some of the simple commands. He had tried to use other weapons, but they were a lot different than those of his Voot.
Oh well, I will have to manage…
One of the ships fired their lasers. The blast hit one side of Zim's shield spinning the ship around.
"Firk!" He screamed; his smile fading. They were spinning out of control. Zim grabbed the emergency break and pulled back. The ship stopped spinning, but as soon as it did, another ship fired their laser. The ship's shield flashed and died from the impact, leaving Zim defenseless.
"GAH!" Zim screamed and banged on the controls. "I can't do it!"
One of the ships shot out a beam of energy. The lights flickered as the energy ran through the ship. A paralyzer beam…my controls are down!
The ship had indeed caused the controls to go offline. They were completely defenseless.
The entourage of ships circled his ship.
Suddenly the monitor above Zim's controls lit up.
"Hello Zim…" The tallest sneered through the screen.
"WHAT THE FIRK!" Zim said through gritted teeth. "GET OFF MY SCEEN!"
"Oh PLEASE Zim did you actually think you could beat REAL soldiers!" Red laughed.
"You're just a pathetic little defective!" Purple said, shoving food into his mouth.
"Soldiers! Take him away!" Red yelled through his communicator.
The ship lurched as a tractor beam towed it away.
"Where are you taking us?" Zim asked nervously.
"Why, where else Zim?" Red smiled. "To our home planet."
