The Sickness

Part Seventeen

Meanwhile, the Tallests sat in a large room aboard the Massive. Computers and monitors lined the walls of the enormous room. Many other Irkens were positioned at the councils near the screens around them. The seats the Tallests sat were possisioned in the middle of the metalic room. Upon the screens were different views of the stars around them. The only sound around them were the bleeps and humming of the different monitors as the Tallests continued to munch on their snacks. Soon, Red sighed.

"I can't believe it took us this long to figure out what to do." He state, a bit amused by this.

"Yeah, it took us about two years to actually come up with it." Purple agreed.

"I don't know why we've never thought of this before." Red replied. "It would've saved us the trouble of having to deal with him all this time."

"Well, at least now we'll finally get rid of him." Purple smirked.

"At least Zim won't be such a problem anymore. And the best part," Red grinned evilly. "Is that when he does go, we'll finally have everyone see what a horrible invader he was." After saying this, Red laughed. "Like he ever was one in the first place."

"We totally should've thought of doing this before." Purple smiled, laughing as well. "Then we wouldn't have had to deal with him for this long."

"Yeah, but it was kinda funny." Red replied.

"Yeah, is was pretty funny." Purple agreed.

"And all that matters now is that we've got him on the ship and are taking him back to Irk for his final moments of being alive." Red replied. "And once we get there, we'll make sure that he learns once and for all to mind his place."

"Yeah, once a defect, always a defect." Purple agreed.

The two Irkens began to laugh, enjoying their plan of what they were thinking of doing to Zim. But soon quieted down.

"I'm sorta gonna miss the jokes and and stuff we did since he's probably going to die in a day or two." Purple sighed.

"Yeah, but at least he'll be dead and gone forever and we won't have to hear his stupid annoying voice again." Red grinned.

"Yeah, that's true." Purple replied. Placing a large pin-wheel cookie in his mouth. "He's such a loser!" He shouted, his mouth still full.

"He sure is." Red agreed. The duo started laughing at this but soon stopped when they heard the high-pitched siren beginning to sound throughout the room.

"What's going on?" Purple yelled over the siren.

"It's the perimeter alarm!" Red shouted over the din. "We've got intruders on board!" He shouted jumping from his seat.
"You!" Red shouted, pointing to a few of the other smaller Irkens. "Go find out who there intruders are." He ordered.

"And make sure they are alive when you bring them here." Purple added.

As the other Irkens did as they were told, running out of the large metallic room, Purple and Red began to leave the room.

"What about you, my Tallests?" Asked one of the guards.

Red turned around.

"We've got something to check up on." He replied, and continued out the door with Purple following behind.

At that moment, Dib, Gaz, and Gir who had just come aboard the Massive froze at the sound of the alarm.

"Crap!" Dib hissed, angrily. "They found us!"

"No dip, Sherlock!" Gas snapped. "So, now what?"

Dib looked around.

"You and Gir keep them distracted, I'll go look for Zim." Dib replied and took off down one of the hallways.

"That's you're plan?" Gaz asked, aggravated.

Dib stopped and shot her a look that made Gaz stare in shock.

"Okay, fine!" Gaz said finally. "But hurry up!" She called after him as he vanished from sight.
"C'mon, Gir." Gaz said turning to the little S.I.R. unit, only to find he was gone."Aww, crap!" She huffed.

Just then, one of the once empty hallways nearby was filled with the sound of hurrying footsteps as about twenty Irken guards came her way. Seeing this, Gaz took off running leading them down the hallway to her left. 'Dib better know what he's doing.' She thought as she continued to lead them away. At this time, Dib continued to run down the deserted corridore, making sure not bring any attention to himself. As he sprinted down the hallway, small flashes of the dream he had recently had, came rushing back. The gruesome image continued to reply over and over in his mind. Of him finding Zim in that bleak cold cell. Lifeless. Dead and alone.

"No!" Dib snapped at himself. "Don't think like that!" He told himself. "He's going to be fine. You'll find him and everything will be okay."

As he continued down the dimly lit hallway, he kept that thought on his mind. That he would find Zim and he would still be okay. He just hoped he would get him the cure in time.
