"What if I win?"
"Then I will leave willingly. Simple as that."
Gaz glared at Zim furiously, angry that he dared to touch her like that. She felt her cheeks turn from pink to red during the pause in the conversation.
A look of realization came upon his face and he backed away quickly.
'It's about time that little idiot noticed,' she thought to herself.
"Fine," she said out loud, although reluctant to agree. "As long as you leave me alone. If you come back, you die immediately."
Zim nodded and walked to the other side of the clearing. He stood in some kind of battle stance, and Gaz just stood with her arms crossed, still angry about how close he had gotten.
'This is gonna be easy,' she thought as she stared at him in his stance. Suddenly, she jumped into action, uncrossing her arms and running towards him. She kicked at him, but Zim, being about as fast as she was, pushed her foot away with one hand.
She balanced herself before she could fall and put her hands together. She drew them apart, forming a glowing ball of dark energy, then pushed it towards him. He dodged it and shot back with a thin ray of his own green energy.
Gaz just barely dodged it, but noticed a small bit of her hair was singed. It grew back before their eyes and Gaz ran towards Zim, punching him in the face. It was a solid hit, and his head snapped to the side. He immediately recovered and threw a punch of his own, which she dodged.
He grabbed her arm and threw her to the side. Gravity dragged her through the grass, making a long ditch in the ground and kicking up a cloud of dirt. She jumped out from behind the cloud, making a trail of dust behind her. She rose about 20 feet in the air and came at Zim with a flying kick.
He grabbed her ankle and spun her around, then let go. This time, she landed on her feet and slid about a yard back,then ran at him again. She punched at him several times in a row, but he moved his head and she narrowly missed each time.
She stopped for a second and her fist started glowing with dark energy. This time she punched him and landed a solid hit, and he flew backwards and hit a tree. He straightened himself up, and Gaz noticed there was a large dent in the tree where his back had hit.
He held out his hand like he was holding something, then a small ball of green light formed. He thrust his hand forward repeatedly, throwing several balls of energy in Gaz's direction at once.
She ducked and they missed, then stood back up and ran at him again. He ran at her at the same time, and they met in the middle. Their hands met above their heads and they pushed against each other, both trying to push the other over.
Their eyes met and they glared at each other. "You can not win, little, Gaz, I will best you yet." Zim proclaimed confidently.
"Psh, yeah right. Geez, now I know why you're called 'Irken,'"
He stared at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
'This guy is dumber than I thought,' she thought to herself.
"On Earth we call annoying people irksome."
"I am not this 'Irksome' of which you speak, I am ZIM!"
Gaz raised an eyebrow and Zim looked at her sheepishly.
"Okay, maybe I haven't changed THAT much."
"Yeah, sure," Gaz pushed him while he was distracted and he fell to the ground. She held her foot on his stomach, or whatever was in that area for his species, and looked at him.
"You haven't won yet, little Gaz-beast," Zim stuck out his hand and hit her with a huge beam of green light. She fell, and now she was the one laying on her back. She got up before he could trap her and they both stood in an instinctive battle stance.
Gaz grinned despite herself. It wasn't going to be as easy and fast as she thought it was.
But, damn, was it gonna be fun!
Annoying author's note, ha-ha on you: Hey hey hey! I was thinking of either putting the next chapter in Gir's point of view (then going back to Zim's to keep the pattern going) or doing another flashback. Waddaya think? Also, I decided who's gonna win! Sorry this one was short.
