This chapter is entirely done from Gir, Ris, and Minimoose's point of view. I had a major writer's block when I was writing this.
Ok, I know that there were some spelling mistakes in some of the last few chapters, and I'm sorry about that, and I just want to tell you that I can't spell to save my life. So if the spell-check on my computer doesn't pick it up, it will be misspelled. Oh, and I looked up the dieing vs. dyeing. And to me, it doesn't make any since. Die = the end of life, and Dye = to color something, so Dieing should = loosing life, and Dyeing should = coloring something. However, both meanings are spelled dyeing. So, yes, I made a mistake. And I'm sorry. But now you know my reasoning. And dieing doesn't come up wrong on my computer's spell-check. I will be more careful from now on.
IZ Quote of the Day: "Have my plans always been this lame?" ~Dib (Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy)
One more thing, the following part is very similar to the beginning of the episode Attack of the Saucer Morons. And when I talk in Gir's POV, the bad grammar and spelling is intentional.
I sat in the backseat of Master's ship. We were flying over a road at night. There was only one other car on this road: a human law enforcement officer's. I watched as the headlights got closer and closer. They pulled into the other lane in an attempt to avoid us, and so did we. They pulled back into the first lane, and so did we. When we came close enough to collide with it, we flew over his car. The human was so surprised, that he lost control of his car and went flying off the road and into a 'Delicious Weenies' stand.
"Human law enforcement vehicle. Markings: blue and red lighty-flashy things on top. Defensive capability: minimum." My Master began, talking into a recorder.
The car exploded and weenies flew everywhere. I should get some of those for Gir and Minimoose, I thought.
"Explodes on impact with giant weenier," Master continued. "Evaluation: Pathetic. Pathetic Earth vehicle!"
The ship began beeping. "Warning? Nothing threatens an Irken Spittle Runner. Computer, run an analysis on the threat."
I looked out the front window of the ship. Something was coming into view. Something small. Something... living? Humans don't have the technology to make a living weapon. Then what could it be? The thing crashed into the ship, causing it to crash into the park. I jumped out of the ship and shot a beacon at the thing. Then I got Master out of the wreck of the ship.
"Was that a bee?" She asked.
"Affirmative." I answered. The beacon I had shot onto it was sending me all sorts of information about it. We watched the bee fly up into a tree and into its nest.
"Blow it up." Master ordered.
"Yes, sir." I said. We both watched as the beacon on the bee exploded and destroyed the nest and all bees in it.
"Ok," Master said, turning to look back at her ship. "The Spittle's to damaged to fly. We'll need to get a recovery vehicle from the base." She looked around. "Well, this is a fairly deserted and well hidden area. Ris," She looked at me "Go back to the base and return with a tow vehicle. And put on your cloaking device. I'll stay with the ship."
I saluted and turned my cloaking device on low. Master could still see me, but no human could. Master pulled her holographic projector out of her PAK and fastened it to her neck. She took on the appearance of a human female. I saluted again and left for the base. As soon as I got there, I brought out the tow vehicle and disguised it as a golf cart. I had seen some humans riding one a few days ago.
When I returned to the crash site, I noticed that Master was talking to an old human male. The Spittle was undisguised and uncloaked, must be too damaged for that. I watched as the man accused Master of something and jestured to the ship. She seemed to deny it. He jestured some more. She sighed and grabbed his arm and wrestled him to the ground. Then, Master pulled something out of her PAK that looked like a small bowl. With the push of a button, the bowl expanded to the size of a large hat. She thrust it onto the man's head and pushed a button. His eyes glazed over and then closed and he collapsed. Master picked up the bowl and pushed a button to make it smaller again, and put it back in her PAK. I brought the golf cart up to her.
"Good job, Ris." She said. She pushed a button on the recovery vehicle and it ate the Spittle Runner. She sat down on the golf cart and I joined her. We rode back to the base. I absently wondered how long it would be until the man woke up again and how much memory Master had taken from him.
We reached the base soon afterward. Master took off her disguise and I turned off my cloaking device. Master went down to the repair bay to fix the Spittle Runner. I looked around the upper house of the base. It wasn't very good. When we had arrived, Master and I had only been able to see the outside of humans' houses, and therefor, the outside was perfect, but the inside, to put it plainly, wasn't. It looked similar to Zim's house. A couch in front of a TV, plain white walls, and a small table with a lamp on it in the living room. A table with chairs and some basic cooking appliances in the kitchen. Master always said she would have to fix the interior someday. She just never got around to it.
I heard my name called. I have a chip in my AI brain that allows me to always locate Master and always know when she calls. So I could tell she was in the house of Zim's base. I knew a shortcut there and got to her in a few seconds. The human Dib was in the house. He had a bunch of cameras and recording devices in his hands. I could also locate many that were hidden in his clothes. One of his jacket's buttons was a camera, and there was a wire under his shirt with a microphone in it. Stuff like that. I noticed all this in a fraction of a second.
Dib's face turned really pale when I entered the room.
"Demon Robot!" Dib-human yelled as he stepped away from me.
Master looked puzzled. "I sent Ris after you weeks ago, Dib. You still remember that?"
"How could I forget! That thing almost ripped my arm off!" He shouted.
"I would like to see that." Master said. "Ris, do it again."
I jumped onto the human boy and crushed all of his recoding devices and cameras. Then I grabbed his arm. He screamed. Suddenly, Zim burst into the room. He was smoking. Master looked worried.
"Ris, quickly dispose of the human." she said. I grabbed Dib and chucked him out the window. I heard the robot lawn gnomes drag him off the property. I followed Zim and Master down to the underground base. The room was filled with water. My senses went into overdrive. Water was an unbearable acid to the Irkens. I have to protect Master. And Zim. I dived into the water and searched for the leak. There it was: A hose was poring the corrosive liquid into the base. I clogged it with something, but knew that it would only be a matter of time before the pressure built up and the hose exploded. I used x-ray enhancement to track the hose to its source. The neighbor's house. Dib-human was sitting next to it.
I ran back up to the house and outside, then up to Dib. His back was to me. He didn't see me coming. I picked him up, and smiled as I heard his heard his startled cry, and then threw him across the lawn. Then I cut the hose. Water began rushing out the cut end of it. I turned the metal handle near the house and the water stopped coming out. I turned on my cloaking device (after I realized that I never turned it on) and looked for Dib. He had ran off while I was distracted. I would have chased him, but I had to make sure Master was alright.
Zim was in the medical bay and Master had on a force shield and was draining the water. She saw me and told me I did a good job.
SIR units are meant to be water-proof, but I went to the repair bay anyway after the water was drained. Better make sure everything was running correctly. Master came in to check me and Gir (who had been caught in the water and short-circuited). She was muttering something about water and how the engineers on Vort should be making better shields against it instead of more weapons. Then she began drying out Gir.
I must obey the Taco Man. He was on TV and he said to go to Crazy Taco and get tacos. But Orange-Girl says I gotta stay in this room cuz I got hurt. But its boring here and I don't feel hurt. And I don't wanna stay here. Ris is here with me. She says she'll go get the tacos for me. But I wanna get them myself. Maybe I can go back and play in the water some more. But Ris says I can't. Awww. Water, fish, tuna, sammich, food, taco, pig! I pulled a rubber piggy out of my head. Yey! I gots my Piggy! Piggy wanna fly! So I make it fly. I want Ris to play with my. I'll give her one of my piggies. She likes to play with piggies. We's a-gonna play with the piggies! But I'm still hungry. I wanna cupcake. And I ate the one that was in my head. I miss the cupcake. Now I sad.
Orange girl and Masta come into the room. Orange-girl tells Ris something, and Ris says we can go get tacos now. But I no want tacos anymore. I wants to go dancing. Ris comes with me to the dancey-place with all the nice peoples. Ris says that the peoples can't see her cuz she has a cloaking thingie on. That's so sad. The peoples would really like Ris. Oh well. Dancing is fun.
We get a ride to the Mall when we're done. All the nice peoples giggle at me and wave goodbye. Bye-bye! I needs more piggies. Ris is still with me. She says she has to follow me around and make sure I don't destroy anything. I gets some more piggies at the farm store. I like it there. The man always likes to see me. He says he can pay his bills again. Yea! Bills! Now I gotta go get Suck Monkeys. The man there gives me chocolate bubblegum. Its mah favorite.
Masta's callin me again. He says I gotta go save him. I used mah rocket-thingies in mah feet to get to him. Masta has a giant pig monster after him. I wanna play with the pig! Ris looks all worried. I don't know why. Its a piggy! Ima gonna jump on the piggy! WHEEEE! Its runnin around like a donkey and its fun! Awwww, Orange girl fell asleep. Ris is trying to wake her up. And Masta's screaming at me real loud. He says to make the piggy eat this pill thing. I think it likes me! Now the piggy's falling asleep. And getting smaller. Awww, its cute. A little baby piggy. Orange girl waked up. She says that if Zim tells anyone she got beat by piggy, she'll be mean to him. I don't want her being mean.
Oh, I gots a cupcake. I likes cupcakes. Orange-girl says I was good. Yea! I likes to be good. I gonna go watch TV now. Ooooh, the Scary Monkey Show is on.
There was a lot of excitement today, with the Spittle crash, then the flooding, then the mutant Pig beast escape. I'm gonna go sit down on the couch and watch TV with Gir. It's the Scary Monkey Show. When it ends, I float around the house. Nothing much is happening. I go down to the underground base. Kae is in the battle simulator. Zim is experimenting with ways to block out water, since the Paste thing is really uncomfortable and the force shield is very noticeable. No one notices me. Kae comes out of the battle simulator. I go in.
The room is completely white and circular, like the inside of a ball, but with a flat floor. Then it changes its appearance. Suddenly, I'm in a calm meadow. A holographic Zim is a few feet away. Suddenly, a Tranta Beast comes into the meadow and looks like it is about to attack Zim. I know that I have access to the most advanced doomsday technology invented, but I have trouble activating it. I try to actiate my weapons. Nothing happens. I squeak out to Zim. He starts running toward me. The hologram is very life-like. I can see the Zim's muscles working as he runs. I try again to bring out my weapons. Nothing. The beast gets closer. I can't do anything. It's about to eat Zim! I automatically jump in the way. The simulation ends. I've lost, again. This isn't the first time I've been in the simulator. And it won't be the last.
As I walk out of the Battle Simulator, I think. How many times have I lost in that thing? Either my life, or someone I care about's? Why can't I work right? I had never battled a Tranta Beast before. That must have been what Kae had been fighting, since I didn't change the simulation. If Zim really is in trouble, will I be able to save him? The thought scared me, since I knew the answer to that was 'probably not.'
Gir had finished witching TV and was baking cupcakes. I joined him. Besides, if I didn't, he would probably put rat poison in them and convince some poor person outside to eat them.
I just wanted to show you what is going through the heads of the sidekicks in this story. Sorry if it's not very good. Anyway, the main points are that Ris is well-trained and obeys, Gir is still insane, and Minimoose is worried that he won't be able to protect Zim.
The next chapter will be a very mushy one. Hope you like romance.
