Chapter 7
777's Final Testament and gift
As Zim carried 777 who was now coughing blood Zim could think of what happens when an Irken died, unlike an earth funeral, there were no flowers, no tears, no readings from a holy book, no heaven or hell or afterlife. They just believe someone died and took acknowledgment of it. Zim always thought differently. As he carried 777 close to the kitchen 777 told him to stop. Zim stopped almost tripping. "Zim…you…need to lave…me." Zim shook his head "No, I need you. We need answers." 777 wheezed "you need answers…fine. He took his knife and stabbed his stomach. "777 what?" before Zim could finish he took out a large shiny, pink stained meal disk. Zim took the disc just as 777 fell dead in his arms. Zim laid 777 on the cold metal floor and said "Thank you for your gift."
GIR and Mimi stood loyally at the grate with Raymond as Dib walked out to find Zim holding 777. "Zim?" Zim looked up gripping 777's hand. "He's dead." Dib gasped seeing his wound and the pink blood on Zim. "He gave me this." He held up the disc. Dib took it and examined carefully. "Anything else on him?" Zim checked then took out an Vortian delivery pad. "This?" Dib took it. "Come on Zim, we don't have much time." Zim looked up and nodded where he left with the others to the ship.
Onboard The Resisty's flagship, Raymond now with a leg stabilizer, decoded the delivery pad. "This is amazing," he said ",every single Irken weapon, made and upgraded is here!" Skald commented "They won't catch you on suprise!" While they decoded it, Zim visited Tak who was in a regeneration pod. He watched silently as she sleeped. Not every Irken had the luxury to sleep in one to recover from all wounds. "She getting better?" Zim looked to se Gaz standing in the doorway." Zim nodded "Just fine, but the baby?" Gaz patted her stomach "The baby, hasn't even developed yet, and nothing bad has happened. It seems like all my injuries had vanished after this." Zim looked at Gaz, she had the green look in her eye. "Gaz, would you believe if the enemy race of the Irken's, the Meekrob, gave you powers?" Gaz looked at Zim bewildered "What? Nonsense!" Zim said "Two facts. 1: you managed to survive birth control pills, two you have strange powers." Gaz gasped about how straight forward he was. Gaz looked around and opened her hand and there was the green flame, it reminded him when Gaz sided with him, against Dib and Tak. "You mean…this isn't magic?" Zim shook his head "Magic is just a made up word for glorified science. Magicians were people who used loopholes in science and called it magic. Even Medians who can read minds, tell the future, they are just smarter and can extend their mind further then others." Gaz looked at the flame. "imagine it as science." Zim told her. She looked at him and back to the flame then it sparked to life, no longer a flame but a green electricity bolt, jumping off of everything. "Concentrate it!" Gaz grunted as the bolt came to her and stopped in the palm of her hand. Amazed by how it looked so deadly she was holding it, she gazed blankly into it as if seeing some kind of core. "Hey!" Gaz stopped it, and ran to the bridge with Zim.
Raymond stood in front of a huge screen. "Alright people, Skald has decoded 777's delivery pad. According to this, he had made delivery's to Conventia to an unknown buyer. According to which, the buyer, bought the sniper, plasma shields, mercury armor, auto turrets, and AI frames. And Get this, there was a secret delivery to the same unknown buyer however It was sent without any details of the packet inside. However Skald has at least uncovered what it looks like." Soon a black box appeared with weird markings on it. Dib shouted "That box! I know where it came from!" all turned to him. "It came from the Swollen Eyeball Network on earth. They worked n technology like this." Zim turned to Dib "Wait, so 777 didn't make this?" Raymond added "He fixed it, he knew why it wasn't working and corrected it instantly. He then sent it to the deliverer and was sent to the unknown buyer." Dib asked "What does it do?" Skald spoke up "We were hoping you knew more since it came from your Network. We wish we could find out more but we can't go to the SEBN to find out more." Zim looked at Raymond "Why not?" Raymond sighed "The Network HQ is under the shielded area, used as an example for the rest of earth of it's future destruction if it does not surrender." Gaz muttered "Damn." There was a long silence then Zim said "Let's do it," Raymond stood up straight ", I say we go dig using a drill under the shield and find the Network, and learn more information about the device." Raymond replied "Zim…we can't-" Zim pointed to him "No! We are going to attempt it. Besides Purple won't expect it, if he catches us, he will have to enter the shielded area, drawing the Reptoids attention from us. You know Raymond, they are attracted by the faintest noise, smell, and blood. We have a choice of being stealthy or allowing the Armada to fight our battles." Everyone stood silent "Zim," Dib began ",this is crazy. Just plain out crazy." Zim pointed at Dib "You dread the word Dib! Never say crazy, you guessed all the if questions correct and no one believed you. you have a chance to come out on this is a hero. What do you say?" Dib stood silent and nodded "Yes, for earth." Everyone else stood up and clapped as Raymond spoke "We leave tomorrow!"
