Chapter 5

The Raid

Before they left Zim turned to the Vortians and asked "Why do you sit here? You have the power, if you can override the prison do the same to the Massive! Fight back." One came to him and said "We can't, the Massive has a very large fire wall, even we can't override it." Zim looked at them with a sparkly look in his eye "Don't say you can't until you tested that theory." The Vortian was about to speak but he stopped as he truly understand the look in his eyes. "Zim! Hurry up!" Zim looked to Dib then back to the Vortians and left.

The decent took some time so the group sat own to prep themselves. Gaz said "So we get in there, rescue 777 and Skald then what?" Zim replied "We interrogate them, 777 knows who made him build that sniper and he's gonna tell us." Raymond said "We can also used Skald, he was my personal mechanic once." Dib looked at GIR nervously and Mimi "What about them?" Tak and Zim looked at their SIRs. "Maybe we should leave GIR by the lift." Tak replied "Mimi should stay and make sure he doesn't blow our cover. GIR and Mimi looked at each other, GIR smiled, Mimi narrowed her eyes and looked away. "So when we are in there where should we go to leave? Tak promised not to blow their cover." Raymond snapped his fingers "We set a fire, everyone will be to occupied to notice." Gaz asked "Not to dampen the spirits though but what about security cameras? Laser beams? Turrets?" Raymond replied "I think the base is full Irken made technology, usually they are not operational, so I think there are more guards then technology." Gaz smiled "We can take them!" Then the lift stopped and the doors opened, into a blue tunnel. AS they continue further the tunnel became darker and more filthy. Soon they were encased in black until they saw a grate above their heads. As they opened it they were in another tunnel, only this was a tunnel under the flooring. Zim was about to open up the ceiling when the shadow of an Irken guard. "OK," Raymond whispered ",we need to get out of this tunnel into the base so lets start on how."

Outside two Irken guards stood at the main gate to the prison lift. Then a ship landed and two Irkens came out. As they came to the gate the guard said "Halt! What are your names?" The Irken that looked the strongest looked up, his face had recent scars that weren't even fully healed. He looked at the guard and growled. The smaller one said "Now ,now, lets not get into a fight…at least not yet." The other guard asked seriously "Who are you?" The Irken chuckled "Well if you must know my big bulk beast friend is Byron, my name is Tyler. You can refer to me as," Tyler took out a knife and swiped it quickly slitting their throats. ",X"

"EVERYONE THREAT AT MAN PRISON LIFT." At the sound of an alarm Zim almost fired but Raymond stopped him as the guards ran off. "Someone is attacking the prison." Dib said as he climbed on to the floor of the prison. "Good its a wonderful diversion." Gaz tapped her chin "Who would attack the jail?" Zim snapped his "Someone who wants to kill 777 and Skald!" Dib claimed "We have to find them!" As they all ran off Zim turned to Mimi and GIR "Stay put!" and left.

On the top side X and Byron were killing as many guards that came up. X used dual wield pistols and Byron kept on crippling limbs. "Quick, shutdown the lift!" one guard yelled in the lift control room as he pressed a button and the lift door began to descend. The guard in the control room screamed as Byron picked him up and threw him in the path of the lift door. Fortunately the lift door wasn't that strong and cause a mild pain for him. Unfortunately X ran and rolled under the door, kicked one guard holding an Irken rifle sending him spinning holding the trigger killing off the other guards. He then reloaded and pressed the open button and the lift door rose. As Byron entered X heard a gag and say the guard. "Don't…don't kill….me…" X smiled "OK friend. But I don't know what Byron would do." Byron took out a Vortian battle axe and chopped the guards head off.

As Gaz, Raymond, Zim, Dib, and Tak were checking each cell Zim turned and saw a huge door. It read :CLASSIFED AUTHORITY EYES ONLY. But Zim knew he needed to get inside, as he touched the door a flash of memories. He then saw the door open and a low fog came out beckoning for him to come in.

Zim blinked as Dib grabbed his shoulder "We need to get moving Zim." He watched as Dib walked forward and he looked back to the door and saw there was a strange look to the door where it was missing a piece to it, it was a lock. "Zim come on!" Dib yelled and Zim ran with them.

Up ahead Raymond stopped at one cell. "Here they are!" He pressed a few buttons and inside were 777 and Skald. "Ray!" Skald yelled in happiness as he hugged him. Zim entered the doorway and 777's eyes widened "I see you got my gift." He stated eyeing the shotgun. Zim smiled "Yeah, I had the best maker of it." As they walked to the place they came in there standing was Tyler X and Byron. Byron had someone still alive with the axe stabbed right through him. "Look Byron, our client's targets. Shall we advanced?" Byron shook his axe sending the man flying into the air but then back down on the axe splitting him in half. "I couldn't agree more!" X took out a grenade and threw it at the group. "RUN!" Raymond yelled as it exploded. When Dib, Raymond, and Zim got up Tak ,Gaz, 777, and Skald were gone with X while Byron was still present. As Dib got he aimed his desert eagle but Byron grabbed hit him with the axe's side sending him flying into a pillar unconscious. Raymond unslung the Vulture but Byron smacked it away. Zim shot with his shotgun and caused him to fall back. Raymond unsheathed a knife and brought it to Byron's throat but Byron kicked him off of him. As he got up Zim swung the butt of his shotgun at Byron's head. He didn't even seem effected by it. Byron picked up Zim and reached for his axe which Raymond was holding. "AAAAAAAAA!" Raymond yelled as he sank the Axe deep into Byron's arm. He dropped Zim in anger and pain as he tried to pull it out like a splinter. Once it was removed Raymond started shooting him in the shoulder. Byron growled as he picked up Raymond and flung him through two doors which led into the mess hall. As He entered Zim shot his back. Byron then picked Zim up and threw him right into Raymond's chest. As he walked into the mess hall with his axe dragging on the ground Zim aimed he shotgun again. Byron growled and grabbed Zim by the neck nearly suffocating him. He then threw him into a wall. Zim could only look up as Byron raised his axe over Raymond who was unconscious ready to kill. BOOM! Zim turned from Byron to see Dib awake again, his nose was bleeding but he was holding his desert eagle. He fired it some more and it had effected him more than Raymond or Zim could. The water from the bullets was flowing into his blood stream, Dib knew it wasn't gonna kill him, but he could temporarily defeat him. With one last shot a mag fell from the desert eagle and Dib searched his coat for another. Byron yelled something loud and scary as he swung his axe at Dib making him fall on his butt. Before Byron could swing down on Dib Zim sucker punched him in the face. Byron spun confused as Zim kicked him in the chest and he fell down. As he got up Zim got a metal tray and banged it on his head. As Byron was slowly moving on the floor Zim took what appeared to be a soup for the guards and poured it all over Byron. As Byron yelled in pain Zim took his shotgun and again hit him in the head with it's butt. Now Byron was unconscious. As Zim got to his feet he helped Dib reload. "Wait a minute. Raymond."

Zim said as they went to Raymond's aid.
