Thanks for the reviews!
As Gaz remained trapped, Tak and Zim continued their ruthless attack on each other. Tak started to close in on Zim, her laser fire getting closer to him. He activated his spider legs to escape, but she managed to shoot two of the legs apart with her Splodium gun. A shocked Zim dropped to the ground, while Tak pointed her laser directly at him, now closer than ever before. Skoodge rolled the capture bubble towards the two in an attempt to help Zim, but she merely pushed him away, sending him rolling down the amusement park. She never even took her eyes off of Zim, who was beginning to get worried.
"Face it, Zim. Even though you're really stupid, even you had to know that one day it was going to come down to this!" Tak shouted.
"HEY!...YOU SHUT YOUR NOISE TUBE, YOU FILTHY, PLANET- HUGGING, DIB- LOVER!" Zim shouted the most insulting insults he could ever think of off the top of his head.
Tak looked at him, confused and angry, while Zim used the opportunity to kick the Splodium gun out of her hands, sending it sliding across the ground. The gun suddenly and without warning exploded, sending up a huge cloud of black smoke. He then kicked Tak in the stomach, sending her flying backward.
Tak immediately got up from the ground, unfazed, even though Zim had practically knocked the wind out of her. "Fine, Zim! Have it your way! I was just going to make your demise quick, but you left me no choice but to resort to hand to hand COMBAT!" The Irken girl screamed as she punched Zim in the face, sending him flying backwards with a grunt.
Back at the fried chicken stand, Dib and Gaz were making zero to no progress with each other.
"Dib, I know you're crazy, but are you downright INSANE?!" She shouted as she pounded her fists against the bubble.
"I could ask you the same thing! Oh, Gaz, please tell me this is a joke. If you're trying different ways to to torture me, it worked! Congratulations! Seriously, pretending to have a crush on Zim was a really, really good joke! I know you don't like anybody!" Dib announced as his mind slipped into denial.
"As much as I love to think up new ways to torture you, I never thought about pretending to have a... crush on Zim to do it. I never planned on liking him. It just happened." She admitted.
"You mean you actually like him?! And he... likes you?!...Oh God! I'm gonna be sick! That's even worse!" Dib said as he tried not to barf.
"Shut up, Dib!" She yelled, her face turning red.
"He's an evil alien, Gaz! How could you like an evil alien?!" Dib argued.
"Then how can you like Tak?!" She quickly threw that one in his face.
"...I DON'T LIKE TAK!" Dib shouted in denial.
"You're a horrible liar. I know you liked her. It never bothered me that you liked her. You even liked her after she tried to destroy Earth, isn't that right?"
"Ugh! No! I liked her before I knew she was an alien!" Dib said defensively.
"Oh really? So you didn't used to sit on the roof every night and look for her?!"
"That's not why-"
"After she was gone, you really kept your eyes glued to the sky."
"No! That was for research!" Dib shouted.
Gaz scoffed. "Who was the one who brought your dinner and paranormal magazines up there every single night?"
Dib got real quiet. "You."
"And who kept Dad off your back while you were up there?" Gaz asked as she was making a point.
"You. But I-"
"And why are you working with her now?!"
"She's actually changed! She doesn't want to destroy Earth anymore! Unlike Zim! Why do you even like him? You could do so much better, just so you know!" Dib told his sister, who growled.
"Zim IS better." Gaz said defensively.
"Seriously. What did he EVER do for you?" Dib asked, almost pleading to make a point.
Gaz had to think for a moment. Zim was nice to her, he respects her and is the only one who could make her laugh. He made both of their nightmares disappear today. He actually pays attention to her and was protective of her well being. But there was one other thing that he actually did for her today. Something that even Dib couldn't possibly deny. She just had to bring herself to say it.
"Zim...protected me when your crazy girlfriend started firing lasers!" Gaz grunted.
Dib looked stunned. He had to think about it. He remembered. That's why Zim pushed her to the ground. It's not that he didn't care about her, or he would have just left her there. He literally helped her dodge a shot. That's why he ran off with her in his arms. He was trying to protect her as well as himself from Tak. His Zim-hating brain didn't want to acknowledge something as seemingly absurd as that. But, as he knows better than anyone, sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
Dib sighed deeply. "Look, I guess you might be right about that part. I did see it." He reluctantly admitted. He was initially shocked that his Zim even had the capability to care about someone else's life, especially his enemy's sister.
"I know I'm right...so get me out of here now!" She commanded.
"Yeah...Not gonna happen. Sorry, Gaz! But he's trying to take over the world! As Earth's sole defender I have to stop him for good!" Dib shouted. "I'll let you out when this is over...maybe." he whispered the 'maybe' part to himself.
"CURSE YOU DIB! CUUUUUURRRRSSSE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
Meanwhile, Zim and Tak continued their fight, each of them attacking the other mercilessly with their military fighting skills. They were throwing hard punches and swift kicks at the other. By now, both were beaten up, bloody messes. Tak had just managed to place Zim in a choke hold, slamming his head off of a wooden bench. Dazed, Zim struggled and fought fiercely to try to escape her deadly grip. He soon did, and he ended up throwing Tak over his shoulders and body slamming her. He successfully pinned her down and sat on her back, and she struggled to escape.
"HA! I laugh at your pathetic attempts to try to kill ME! The MIGHTY ZIM! If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'M GREAT AT DESTROYING!" He shouted proudly as tools emerged from his Pak. He was now pulling on her Pak, revealing several thick cables that connected into her back. "And now, it is I who shall remove your Pak! In about ten minutes from now it is you who will finally be destroyed! FOREVER! VICTORY FOR ZIM!" The instruments began to buzz and whir, ready to cut away the cables that connected her Pak to her back. Zim smiled a wicked grin, while Tak began to panic. If he cuts the cables, she would have a very slim chance of trying to reconnect her Pak within ten minutes. Her chances of survival was looking very grim.
"I would ask you if you had any last words...BUT I DON'T CARE!" Zim said as he began to laugh evilly. "MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Tak quietly grew panicked as she felt the first small saw blade started cutting into one of the cables, sparking. For the first time she felt fear setting in, and she felt shaky, but she tried to hide it. This was the first time she was ever in any real danger. But Zim noticed, not that he cared. She was trying to destroy him, after all. She now had a deeper understanding as to why Zim was exiled to Earth. Not because he is a moron, but because he is a dangerous lunatic.
Tak's heart started pounding, and her moment of fear caused an immense adrenaline rush. In a panic to survive, she somehow gathered the strength to escape, and over throw him. Zim was taken by surprise as she quickly grabbed him, and spun him around. Tak forcefully slammed Zim on his back to the ground, finally dislodging his Pak.
"OOF!" Zim grunted as he landed with a sick thud.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He loudly yelled in a panic. His voice echoed throughout the park, and Gaz had heard it. She knew that it wasn't good. She needed to help him. She tried to roll the bubble in the direction, but she wasn't making much progress.
Zim's Pak slid over to the Irken girl's boots, and she immediately grabbed it.
"Excellent! Well, I guess I got what I came for. The Tallest will be pleased." She bragged.
"The Tallest don't like you!" Zim quickly shouted. "Otherwise, they would have made you an Invader in the first place!"
Tak began to chuckle at him. "And what would you know? You're just a defect! An exile! You're going to be erased permanently!"
"I am NOT! And I suppose you weren't exiled to planet Dirt to sweep up filth!" Zim yelled as swiftly kicked her legs, knocking the girl to the ground and causing her to nearly release his Pak. He tried to kick her once again, but this time he ended up sending a bunch of dirt and gravel flying in the opposite direction.
Tak scoffed as she looked at him. She placed her boot on top of his chest, and began to crush him. Zim groaned in pain.
Tak smiled. "Look at you. You can't do anything right! You can't even kick me anymore! You're weak! And you're only going to get weaker as you deteriorate and DIE!"
"I'm sorry, Gaz! I'm so, so, very sorry!" Dib pleaded.
Even though he was allowing Tak to remove Zim's Pak and ultimately kill him, he reasoned with himself that it was for the greater good. Then why did he feel so...guilty? And even horrible? Unfortunately, having the worst luck, his sister would naturally develop feelings for Zim. He felt bad about destroying his sister's only friend. He was strangely the only one who could bring a rare smile to her face. And it was nice to see his sister smile. Maybe he didn't have to let Zim die. Maybe he could just throw him in prison, forever. He thought back to what Tak said about Zim being exiled by his own people. Something about it bothered him. Dib was waging war with himself mentally on whether or not he wanted to save Zim. He noticed a new look on his sister's face, one he rarely ever seen. It was a look of pure concern, with a hint sadness. That's it. He officially made his mind up. Dib is a good guy, and he would do whatever it takes to save Earth, but he's not a monster. He decided to try to spare Zim's life for his sister's sake... After all, he did protect her. Maybe he's changed too. Dib figured he could always just lock Zim up later if he got out of hand. He hurriedly ran toward the direction Zim and Tak were in.
"Where are you going?!" Gaz demanded to know.
Dib sighed. "Ugh...To talk to Tak. She's not going to be happy. " He finally told her.
Gaz looked at him skeptically. As she struggled to move the bubble, a few rocks randomly flying through the air suddenly bounced off of it. "What the-?!"
Suddenly and without warning, the seemingly indestructible Vortian capture bubble shattered into a million pieces. She couldn't believe it. Of all the attempts she and Skoodge tried to break it, she owed her freedom to a few pieces of flying rock (and unknowingly Zim, who could destroy almost anything without even trying). "You're kidding me..." She grumbled to herself. Gaz creepily took a step forward out of the shattered mess, her dark aura now bursting into flames around her. Her fury was directed immediately at a horrified Dib.
Dib nearly peed his pants. "Uh, Gaz! Uh, you have to understand that I was just-"
"DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! I just wanted to have a normal day, hang out with Zim, play some video games, go on a few rides, eat some good food, and not let your weirdness mess up my day...Well, you MESSED UP my day, Dib! YOU MESSED IT UP BAD! And for that, YOU WILL PAY!" Gaz threatened as a dark magenta aura began to glow around her, and she started to levitate about a foot off of the ground, ready to doom Dib.
From a distance, Zim could see a flash of her dark magenta energy light up a darkened sky. He could feel himself getting weaker. He could hear was Dib screaming in fear for his life as unholy terror rained down upon his doomed head. It sounded like horrible sounds from a hell dimension. He smiled. Gaz. She must be free. He thought to himself. If he was going to be doomed, then Dib should be doomed as well. And Gaz should be free. He couldn't help but notice that Tak looked deeply worried for the large headed boy. She began to feel somewhat...dreadful. None the less, she had a job to complete, and she now had to do it quickly.
Several small lasers emerged from her Pak, all pointed directly at Zim. "Say goodbye!"
She looked down at her foe curiously, who should have been shaking in fear for his life, but was instead smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" She angrily questioned him.
Seemingly out of no where, Gaz suddenly appeared right behind Tak. She quickly jumped into action by pulling out the can of soda Skoodge had given to her, shaking it up, and spraying the Irken girl with it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Tak screeched as she felt her skin begin to burn like fire from Poop cola, accidentally dropping Zim's Pak.
Gaz then proceeded to rip out the cables the small lasers were attached to, and threw them on the ground, where they squirmed. She quickly kicked the Pak over to a weakened Zim, who was laying helplessly on the ground. But before the Pak made it anywhere near the dying Irken, Tak's boot intercepted it. Tak chuckled at them both, her skin still smoking from the surprise soda attack. "Did you really think it was going to be that easy?"
Gaz growled at her, and clenched her fists, ready to challenge the girl.
Tak sighed. "I take it you're not going to back down."
"I don't back down from a fight." Gaz said evilly, her aura glowing.
"I respect your loyalty, but I do question your sanity. I don't understand what it is you see in him. Why you would risk your life for him. He's an idiot." Tak told her.
"Yeah, but he's MY idiot!" Gaz growled, her dark aura flared.
"I'm giving you a chance to turn back. I don't want to fight you." She tried to reason with the goth girl, but Gaz would have none of it.
"Not happening. I'm giving you five seconds to drop that Pak, or you will suffer my wrath!" Gaz threatened, giving Tak a final ultimatum.
"I refuse. In the end, this is ultimately for the greater good. No more Zim means no more problems. That goes for your fellow humans as well." She coldly replied.
"You're forgetting something... I DON'T CARE!" Gaz fiercely yelled.
"Fine! So be it! You'll be sorry!" Tak yelled back.
"You're making a grave mistake...and now, you're gonna suffer horribly." Gaz said in a low, threatening tone of voice.
Zim could only watch anxiously in a somewhat confused state of mind, as Tak attempted to fight Gaz via hand to hand combat. His only response:
"Prepare for some FLOOOG, Kat!"
Although Tak is a skilled soldier, she really didn't want to fight Gaz, especially since she promised Dib that she would not harm her. She didn't want to lose his trust, but now she had no choice but to defend herself against one of the most fearsome humans on the wretched planet. She quickly tried to throw Gaz out of the way, but the small human girl seen this coming, and punched her straight in the face. Tak fell to the ground and immediately got back on her feet, not letting go of the Pak. She was hoping that time would be on her side, and Zim would be dead soon enough.
Tak tucked the Pak under her right arm, activated her spider legs, and prepared to attack Gaz. Tak quickly started throwing punches, which Gaz managed to dodge with lightning speed. Gaz swiftly kicked the Irken, and made a grab for Zim's Pak. But before she could, Tak shoved her to the ground. She quickly removed the Pak from under her arm and wrapped it up in a cable which emerged from her Pak. Gaz grunted as she got back up off the ground, and ran directly toward Tak, who was charging at her. The two girls began executing a series of mixed martial arts moves on each other, with Gaz quickly gaining the upper hand over the would be Invader. But Tak had her tricks, and she soon had another cable shoot out from her Pak, wrapping around Gaz and lifting her to eye level with her.
"NO! ZAG!" A confused, and worried Zim slurred. His time was soon running out, and he was helpless as Gaz was now in danger. It was all he could think about: Gaz's safety over his own.
Gaz couldn't look more worried for poor Zim. She turned to give his enemy the worst and most horrifying death stare she had ever gotten. It even made Tak cringe.
"I thought this was supposed to be hand to hand combat!" Gaz yelled in her face.
Tak had a glint of purple energy flicker in her eyes, and her holo disguise began to glitch, revealing her Irken form. "It doesn't matter." She said as she smiled evilly and stared at her human opponent. "In a moment, you'll have no recollection of today whatsoever!"
"You already tried that. It didn't work." Gaz pointed out.
"I've got an upgrade!" She said as she pointed to the wire psionic implant in her head, which sparked deep purple energy. "I'm truly sorry about this, Gaz. Although you are a worthy opponent, you weren't to be involved in this. But look on the bright side; at least you'll live the rest of your life without Zim there to ruin things for you. Trust me, you won't miss a thing. I'm actually doing you a favor." She explained, trying to offer a tad bit of sympathy. Dark purple energy began to emerge from her eye sockets, preparing to give Gaz a good dose of amnesia.
"Close... Eyessss!" A dying Zim managed to blurt out. Green ooze was now leaking from his eyes, and he was deteriorating. Reality was setting in for Zim, and even he knew he was about to die. He lost hope that he would get a lucky break like the last time he lost his Pak. He at least wanted to look at his scary human friend for one last time before he died.
Gaz actually worried it would be the last time she would ever see Zim again. He really did grow on her. Seeing him in that condition again was honestly heartbreaking. He was the only friend she ever had. The only one who could truly understand her in a world full of people that didn't. As she looked at her dying friend, something in Gaz Membrane snapped. Gaz's fury finally exploded into a very dark rage. Tak's dark purple energy was directed toward Gaz's eyes. Gaz's spooky magenta aura grew, fighting back the purple hypnosis energy, even reflecting it back to her. Her aura grew larger, and even managed to make Tak's psionic implant spark and malfunction.
"NOT POSSIBLE!" Tak said in disbelief.
With Tak briefly caught off guard, Gaz took the opportunity to head-butt her.
"OOF!" Tak grunted, accidentally releasing the girl, whose aura continued to grow. As Tak struggled with a massive headache, oddly enough, a portal ripped open near the Irken girl, confusing her further.
With Gaz released, she quickly made a grab for Zim's Pak, and by doing so she ripped the cable holding on to it right out of Tak's Pak. She ran over to Zim, with literally seconds to spare, and placed it on his back for him.
In just a few seconds, Zim was completely rejuvenated again as red energy flowed through his Pak and through his body. His eyes light up and flash, and his normal demeanor soon returned.
"I AM ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!"
Gaz sighed in relief. It was good to hear that again. Both Zim and Gaz's eyes locked with the other's again, only to be interrupted by horrible screaming. Both Zim and Gaz turned their heads in the direction where they could hear multiple whispers and doomed screams echo in the portal. One of the voices was really annoying.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MIMI! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Tak desperately called for help as she was literally hanging onto a broken merry go round, all while a giant, swirling portal of darkness was trying to swallow her.
"WHOA!" Zim said in complete astonishment. Gaz started to walk toward the Tak and the portal, when Zim grabbed her hand, deciding to join her. Well, that was cut short when Gir began to run to Zim and scream happily.
"Gir! Where were you?!" Zim demanded to know.
"Eatin' popcorn and watchin' the big TV!" He shrieked as he hugged Zim. Zim didn't question it though. This was Gir logic we're talking about.
"Oh! You made a friend! And I was makin' a friend too!" Gir said as he looked at his master and Gaz.
"What do you mean, Gir?" Zim asked curiously.
Soon enough, he knew, as Mimi suddenly appeared. The blue robot cat remembered the scary Gaz human, and shoved her out of the way, attacking Gir and Zim.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Cool it, Mimi cat!" He yelled as he grabbed Gir and backed away from the cat.
Ironically, the robot threw Gaz over in the direction of Tak. Gaz creepily walked over to the Irken girl, fighting against the portal's vacuum effects by holding onto various rides that Tak destroyed. They were beginning to fall down and cave in.
Gaz smiled evilly as she held onto the merry go round, staring at Tak. "Oh, don't worry. At least you won't be alone. I'm actually doing you a favor." Gaz retorted. "I HOPE YOU LIKE NIGHTMARE WORLDS!" She yelled as she crushed the Irken girl's fingers with her fist, causing Tak to release her grip and plunge into darkness.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Tak's voice echoed and faded as the portal closed.
Gaz, who was now satisfied by what she had done, started to turn around and make her way back to Zim, who had a robot cat attached to his face and Gir clinging to his leg, eating some more popcorn. Without warning, some of the rides Tak destroyed came crashing down-hard; and unfortunately, a roller coaster crashed on our favorite goth girl of doom.
Zim heard the sounds of destruction, but had no idea what happened. He couldn't see. He assumed Gaz was still dooming Tak or something. He was running around struggling to get the cat off of his face, to no avail. He suddenly formed a last second idea to get it off, but it would be painful. He felt around on the ground for the can of Poop soda Gaz dropped. Luckily, there was some left in the can, and he quickly threw the soda, splashing it directly on the robot and ultimately, in his own face.
With that, the robot cat sparked, and looked shocked and dazed, and finally ran off scared.
"No! MIMI! Yous my friend!" Gir yelled as he ran off after her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Zim screamed in agony as the Earth soda burned his face. But that was only a temporary sting compared to what he was about to learn.
"WHEW! Well, Gaz human, at least we we able to make it out alive-" Zim turned to look around. Gaz wasn't by his side.
"Gaz?" No response. "Dibsister?!" Still no response. "GAZ HUMAN?!" "ANSWER ZIM! WHERE ARE YOU?! GAZ?!"
He looked around frantically, and became distraught. He looked down on the ground near the broken roller coaster, the one they were on earlier, where a familiar skull pendant layed. He picked it up and held it. He became silent as he realized what had happened. A wave of horrible sadness suddenly washed over him. She must have been crushed. He clutched the skull pendant and held it near his heart.
He then quickly began to overturn the debris and rubble with all his might, desperately searching for his human friend.
"Please be okay, Gaz human!" He yelled as he overturned some parts of the damaged roller coaster.
No sign of the girl. He was really panicking now.
"Gaz human! Please be alive! I can't- I refuse to just stand here and let you die!" He found himself fighting back tears that welled up in his eyes. He started angrily shaking his fists as he looked up to the sky.
" The Universe WON'T take you away from ME! I'll find a way! I, THE ALMIGHTY ZIM, SHALL FIND A WAY TO BRING YOU BACK-
Gaz suddenly appeared, and walked behind Zim. She smiled sweetly at him. She overheard what he was saying, and it was really touching. Zim suddenly felt a hand flick him on the back of his head. He felt startled. "Could it be?" He asked himself.
"Are you always this dramatic?" A familiar, sarcastic voice asked.
Zim stopped himself and slowly turned his head in shock at the source of the mean spirited voice. "GAZ HUMAN! ...WOW! WHY AM I SO AMAZING?! You are ALIVE!" He felt relieved.
"I guess... So are you." She said with a smile.
Zim smiled and suddenly wrapped his arms around her and brought her in close for a hug, spinning her around. "I, THE ALMIGHTY ZIM, AM NEVER LETTING YOU GO!" He yelled as loud as he possibly could to the sky as every emotion overwhelmed him by the mere sight of her. He then put her down, staring at her in awe.
He then did the unthinkable ...on an impulse, he grabbed her shoulders, closed his eyes, and pulled her in close for a passionate kiss. Gaz's eyes popped open in surprise. Even she wasn't expecting that. Her face grew warm, her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt light headed and tingly, almost like a rush. Every thought in Gaz's mind wanted to shove him away, kick him, punch him in the face, yell at him and threaten to remove all of his limbs... but there was a small, odd, nagging feeling...that told her not to. He started off by invading her planet, which she didn't mind, but now he was invading her personal space...which surprisingly... she actually didn't mind either. So she closed her eyes and hesitantly started kissing him back. That odd feeling she felt as he pressed his warm lips against hers...was happiness.
And Zim was feeling it too. Kissing Gaz human was one of the most pleasant experiences he's ever had on Earth. Or anywhere for that matter. His heart was pounding, his face felt warm, and he felt kind of dizzy, like a rush, especially when she started to kiss him back. He felt her soft purple hair brush against his face. His hands were still holding her shoulders. Before, he thought about just parting ways with the human girl, telling her that he does not have any feelings of affection for a human such as herself, that they are nothing more than temporary allies. But he would be lying not only to her, but himself as well. She was the only one who could understand him. The mere thought of losing her, never seeing her again, well, Zim felt nothing but overwhelming despair. So when he saw she was actually alive, he felt overwhelmed with excitement. He wanted to kiss her. He's wanted to for quite awhile. He knew he just had to kiss her, so he finally did. Yep, Invader Zim now felt like a happy guy!
Zim parted his lips from Gaz human's. They stared at each other awkwardly, still in shock over what they had done. Zim even felt shaky and his eyes were darting all around. He didn't know what to say or do. So, naturally, he said something stupid.
"...Well, that was an INCREDIBLE honor I decided to bestow upon you!" He proudly told her, his arms now folded.
"Honor?' You should feel...'honored' that I even let you! I don't let ANYONE in my space!" She angrily shouted at him, and he started to look a bit frightened, he even flinched. Gaz calmed down and continued to speak. "...but I guess I can make an exception...for you."
Zim smiled at her, and she couldn't help but to smile back at him. "I suppose the ALMIGHTY ZIM can make a rare exception for you as well, Gaz-human."
She smiled at him.
"You know, I almost thought you had been crushed to death!" Zim told her, changing the subject.
"That roller coaster fell around me. I was never crushed." She told him.
"I told you those roller coasters were dangerous!" Zim reminded her.
Gaz, about to retort, then noticed her skull necklace being held tightly in Zim's hand. "Hey, my necklace!" She shouted in surprise.
"Oh, yeah... I found it and I certainly wasn't about to leave it behind. Here ya go!" He handed it to her. She put the necklace back on.
"That's more like it." She said. "Thanks... for saving it." She told him.
"It was worthy of being saved." Zim told her.
Gaz stepped forward and hugged him. And Zim hugged her back, holding her. He even rested his head on top of hers, and gently kissed her head. He then realized something.
"Hey, not to ruin the moment, I could have sworn I heard Dib monkey's screeching in that dark portal thingy where Tak was swallowed..." Zim said.
"Oh. Yeah. That. When I tell people I'm going to plunge them in a nightmare world, I'm not kidding." Gaz told him in a serious tone, which made him smile and hug her even tighter. He then stopped when he realized something else; Tak was doomed, and it wasn't by his own hands.
"No fair! I was supposed to get to doom Tak! " Zim angrily told her.
"Eh... At least you beat her up pretty bad. Maybe another time. If she ever survives nightmare world." Gaz told him. It was her way of reassuring him.
"And Dib monkey! He doesn't get to escape my doom!" Zim added on.
"Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to get Dib out in a few hours. My Dad's home this weekend. He's going to wonder where he's at eventually." She answered.
"Aw! So we can't we leave him in there for at least a week!" Zim said in disappointment.
"Don't worry. A few hours in there is equal to about a few days, or so I'm told." Gaz assured him, which made him smile.
"Well, when we do get him out, I fully intend on placing all of his organs on the outside!" Zim shouted.
"Ooooh...That sounds like fun. I want to watch." Gaz said with a smile.
"Oh! It shall be so much fun! SO MUCH!" Zim said happily.
Gaz suddenly turned her head in the other direction, where she noticed something sticking out of a pile of rubble. She started to walk over to it.
"Gaz? Where are you going?" Zim asked.
"I'll be right back." She shouted. By dumb luck, it turned out to be exactly what she was looking for earlier. She tried to hide one of the items behind her back as she walked over to Zim, who was curious.
"Is that what you wanted? That ugly, stuffed doll thing?" Zim asked as he stared at it.
"It's not a doll. It's the Vampire Piggy Hunter. I wanted to get it earlier but I didn't get a chance. That and there was something else..." She told him.
"OOOOH! What is it? Is it dangerous?" Zim asked with excitement.
"It will be after I reprogram it." She answered. She pulled out an over-sized stuffed robot death monkey that Zim had always wanted.
"...You're giving me a ROBOT DEATH MONKEY OF MY VERY OWN?!" Zim screamed excitedly as he immediately grabbed it, inspecting it.
"I watched you keep staring at it while we were playing games. I was going to get it for you earlier for bringing me here." She told him.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH GAZ HUMAN! YOU ROCK!" Zim said happily as he quickly hugged her. This really was the girl for him.
"Sooo...Did you want to go home? I'm assuming you don't want to stay here in the ruins?" Zim asked.
"Nah...I have a few hours to spare. I want to take my good old time before I go home, and before I have to get stupid Dib out."
"Understood." Zim answered. "That and I guess we should find Skoodge sooner or later. He's a moron sometimes, but he's a loyal friend...that and he makes really good waffles. They're UNBELIEVABLE!"
"Alright. Let's go." Gaz said, smiling.
Zim clasped her hand, and the two walked off together through the destroyed amusement park, happy they had each other.
Whew! This chapter took awhile to complete! I hope I did okay! I wanted to do Zim versus Tak for awhile, but I really wanted to see Gaz versus Tak too! Both girls are pretty tough, so I thought it would be a good fight. To be clear with the part about Dib, he did change his mind about letting Tak kill Zim and was actually going to stop her, all for the sake of his sister's happiness. And Gaz knew the whole time that Dib secretly liked Tak, and she wasn't against it, so I'm glad that was revealed. And Zim and Gaz finally got to kiss! YAY! I always thought that's how it would happen if it ever did in the show. Those two are made for each other! Also, when Gaz thanked Zim for saving her skull necklace, it was her way of thanking him for saving her life. The story's not over yet, I still want to do a final chapter to complete it! I can't let Dib stuck in Nightmare world forever!
