Chapter 4 Infiltration and Betrayal
AN: Thank you to all who have reviewed my story. I hope you enjoy this chapter of Dib's Strange Hope. PLease review, please! Did you guys know this is my first fan fic!
Zim was deep in his base eating that fun dip stuff (In the episode Tak, the Hideous New Girl if you need a reference) when the computer alerted him to intruders in the base.
"Is it Dib and that Amy, computer?"
"Yes, what course of action do you wish to take?"
"Just make sure all the traps that I showed to Amy are ready." Without another word, Zim went back to eating his fun dip.
Dib and Amy were walking quitley through the halls of Zim's base when Amy suddenly pulled him to one side.
"What was that for?"
"Deadly trap. The trigger is right...here." Amy pointed to one of the floor tiles.
"How did you know?"
"Remember when I said I had errands to run?"
"Yeah."
"I snuck in here and found the traps."
"Oh. Thanks Amy!"
"Don't mention it." Amy smiled at Dib and he blushed. They continued walking in silence until Dib stepped on a tile that sank into the floor. A cler dome crashed down over Dib and Amy.
"Amy, we're trapped! How are we going to get out of here?"
"Dib, there's no 'we' in this situation. I'm... I'm sorry. Zim will be here soon to get his part of the bargain. Please remember I love you." Tears were welling up in Amy's eyes as she slid through the dome. Zim came walking up.
"You have held up your end of the bargain." Amy wouldn't look Zim in the eye. All she could do was stare at Dib. More the look of hatred in his eyes.
"I should have known I couldn't trust a ghost!"
"Dib, you don't understand. I just want to be able to..."
"SILENCE! Computer, contain Dib in something moveable and get him to the torture chamber!" Zim walked off while the computer put Dib in a floating bubble thing. Dib floated behind Zim but was turned around so he could look at Amy.
"Why Amy, why?"
"Dib, you won't understand."
"I thought you loved me Amy."
"Dib, I do love you. I can't explain right now. Just bear with me. You are going to die today. I'm not tricking Zim or anything but I have no doubt that you will understand when this is all over." Dib refused to look at Amy's tear streaked face any longer. They made it to the torture chamber where Zim had the computer transfer Dib to a weird machine. Zim started messing with some knobs and levers on a control panel.
"Now, Dib, I would tell you that you won't fell a thing, but then I'd be a liar." Zim smirked as he said this, obviously getting enjoyment out of this.
