Chapter 7 - The Most Worthless Things are the Most Powerful

I already knew something bad was coming. I would bet 1,000 monies (which I don't have) that he knew about the tree lights...I couldn't walk home alone. Wait a minute, he's already seen me! What am I worrying about? I'm way better than him! Heh...hehe. Thank god! The bell rang.

I left the skool grounds and started to walk home. I got home safely. This was probably the last I would see of Dib, since it's Xmas vacation now.

In Dib's house...

"Finally! I've finally found out a WAY! HA! Aliens DO have weaknesses!"

"Don't tell me you're gonna kill the new kid. She's better than Zim."

"Gaz! She's the same as Zim! The same type of person...alien...species...thingy."

"Yeah, but she's not as stupid."

"Which is exactly the reason I need to get her to let me experiment on her!"

"Wait...you're not gonna kill her...but get her to let you experiment on her? Dib Membrane, you've officially gone even more crazy than how you already were. I will destroy you. Crazy people don't deserve to live."

"But she has a weakness!"

"Why don't we have a bet. If I win, then..." She thought for a bit. "...then you give me ALL of the money in your piggy bank."

"WHAT?! THAT'S NEAR $100!"

"Afraid you're gonna lose?"

"Of course not...and if I win?"

"Then...you get my allowance for a month. No, for 2 months."

"Hmm...deal." They shook hands.

Dib went to his dad. "Dad, do we have any-"

"Shh, son. I'm paying my bills."

"You have bills?"

"Of course son. Every grown-up does."

"Anyway, do we have any left over colored Xmas lights?"

"Yes son, they're in the trash."

"The trash?!"

"Haha, just kidding. It's in the box of useless stuff."

Dib pulled a box out from under the couch. "Hey, what's my wallet doing here? Ugh." He dug in the box even deeper. "Ah, here it is." He grabbed a few colored Xmas lights and pushed the box back under the couch. He laughed. Maniacally.

"SON! Shh!"

"Dad, I'm gonna go catch an alien. I'll be back before dinner."

"Ok, have fun." Dib left. "Aliens...my poor insane son."

He walked down the street in the darkness, and his Xmas tree lights were turned off. He had a special control that turned the lights on and off. "You think I can't get you, huh? Well guess what?! Everyone has a weakness!"

He went to my house. He crept through the window. Rox and I were sleeping. He crawled past Rox and he went into my room. He pushed me and said, "Hey Zo-e." He turned on the lights. "Merry Christmas." I stayed there, staring at the lights.

"Screw you, human..." I fell on my knees and blacked out.

I woke up in Professor Membrane's lab. Dib was holding...my blood? I knew it. That's all that humans want, power that isn't rightfully theirs. Stupid worm babies. I stayed perfectly still and closed my eyes. Dib came up to me. Oh no...Professor was with him!

"I guess I owe you an apology son. You were right about the aliens."

"Thanks dad. Apology accepted."

"Record the stats for me, son."

"Sure." He had a notebook and pencil in his hand.

"Sex is female. Highly unstable...has a round thing on it's back..." He opened my eyes. "Eye lens are light blue." My eyes shined in his and he rubbed them. "Very bright lens. From my hypothesis, it seems very intelligent, and powerful. I'll be back, I need to take more tests with her blood." He took some of my blood and went into a testing room. I was so mad at Dib that I actually got out of the bed and tried to kill him. I literally tried to kill him.

"You...you human! Trying to kill me?!"

"AA! SUBJECT AWAKE! I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL, SUBJECT AWAKE!"

"Don't even try it!" I pinned him to the wall. "I'm...gonna...kill you..." I lifted my hand while Dib tried to block it. "God damn Control Brain...why must you give me the sense of mercy..." I couldn't kill him. I just couldn't. It was programmed into my personality to give mercy.

"You're the luckiest human in the world..." I dropped him. Professor came through the door.

"It's awake! Tranquilize it son! What are you waiting for?!" Dib grabbed a tranquilizer from a closet. "Shoot her!" Dib aimed for me. What did you think I was gonna do? Just stand there and do nothing like in the movies? If you think that, you're out of your mind. I used my bat wings and spider legs from my PAK to dodge it.

"Such technology!"

I grabbed the communicator and called Zim and Rox. "ZIM! ROX! Come! NOW!"

"What's wrong?" They said, while I dodge all the shots.

"Dib, knocked me out, now, I'm in, the lab! GET TO DIB'S GODDAMN LAB!"

"Stupid human monkey! I'll be there!" said Zim.

"I'm coming right now!" said Rox. I put away my communicator and just stalled them until Rox and Zim came.

"That's it! This isn't working! Get the big guns!"

"Dad! I don't wanna hurt her!"

"It's the only way, son!" Dib grabbed a key that was hidden in a plant and opened a safe. There was a huge tranquilizer that exploded with every shot! If Zim and Rox didn't come RIGHT NOW, then I'm dead-

Zim blasted the door open with some of the Irken artillery that only the military had. Rox came behind him.

"Where'd you get the gun?"

"Anything to see a worthless worm baby die." Zim said while cocking the gun. He aimed for Dib and the Professor.

"This is Zim?" said the Professor.

"Yeah, and he's about to shoot us, so I think we should get out of the way." They both grabbed tranquilizers and aimed towards me. They dodged Zim's shots (which took up like half a room, by the way) and tryed to shoot me! How sick is that! Well, I was sick of it. I thought I would never do this.

"ROX! Get me my gun!"

"Yes Zo-e!" She went behind my back and pressed a sequence on the buttons on my PAK. Out came a gun. This is my special weapon that I made myself. It shoots any person you aim for and it'll follow them until it hits something.

"Take this, you son of a Meekrob!" I fired at them. I walked towards where they landed. "Stupid worthless human. You'd be smart to not mess with us." My eyes sparkled and Zim, Rox, and me got out as fast as we could.
