Whatever: I FEEL LIKE A HORRIBLE PERSON! I sorry... And I swear I intend to finish this! I never abandoned this I just got...lazy...

Zim noticed the explosion a split second before Gaz did and put himself between her and the large rock she was about to be blown back into. He winced and squinted his eyes shut when her head hit his squeedley-spooch. He subconsciously realized that if she had hit the rock at that force, she probably would've fell into an immediate coma.

Or worse.

But he couldn't think about that now. Even though Gaz had hit him instead of the wall, she had still hit him pretty hard, and would be be out for a moment or two. Zim forced his eyes open to see if he could find out what was going on. He half wished he hadn't.

Uniformed people of all races, shapes, and sizes were standing and sitting on hover crafts just outside the forest. Zim grimaced. He leaned Gaz against the rock and crouched in front of her instinctively.

A small blue-ish person with horns stood on the one closest to them, snarling. Zim looked at him expectantly, wondering if he was about to go into some lame speech. It would probably be one of those things that sounds way better in your head than out loud.

It was.

"Several generations of The Resisty have been fighting for control!" He paused 'dramatically.'

"Control from who, you may ask? From those who try to conquer the universe! We-"

"Yes, yes, that is fantastic. Look, I was just leaving, so..." Zim started, then trailed off at a slightly disturbing look from the blue-ish person.

"We are here to destroy this tyrant!" he continued.

"That'd be a little hard, considering she's-"

"And since you are clearly in cahoots with her,"

"What the hell does 'cahoots' even mean? How do you know if I don't-"

"We shall destroy you as well!"

"Once again, that'll be a little hard since-"

"See, we got these new missiles with bombs built in! They're pretty neat!"

He pointed to a missile launcher. Zim looked at it.

"Ooh, that is neat..." he said. "And shiny..."

The blue person nodded. He looked back at his crew.

"Okay, fire in...um...I don't have a watch so...now would be...good..."

One of the people pushed a button and the missile launcher started to glow.

"Shit," Zim muttered. He pulled the still unconscious Gaz out of the way just as the missile skimmed past. He lifted her into his arms and quickly took cover in a partially hidden hole in the rock that he had just noticed.

As he sat in the dark, looking down at her face, which was, for once, not set in a scowl, he realized that although they may be immortal, as far as they could tell, those weapons wouldn't exactly be convenient. He saw a mental image flash through his head, of them laying in pools of blood on the forest floor, nobody coming to help them.

He shuddered. For the first time, he didn't feel like his invincibility was a gift.

Now, it felt more like a curse.

That probably wasn't worth waiting for... I'm such a fail as a person! TT - TT
