Hey! I'm back with more story-ness! XD I haven't been feeling well as of late. Long story and its way too complicated. Ya... Anyways, here you go my children! Sorry for the extra long absence!

The hallway was diverted into different paths with multiple routes and passages. Doors and chambers lay about at the end of each one, and some others seemed to keep on going for an eternity.

Zim wandered his eyes onto Zora, who was gripping on him hard, trying to stay away from the other halls.

Dib and Gir were both amused and filled with awe. Never had Dib ever seen such a place as big and as dark as this. The halls were a very dark, almost black crimson, with black candles lit about. The black wax sticks had blue flames on them, which made it even more enchanting.

Gaz, on the other hand, was trying her hardest not to upchuck her lunch, feeling the stench of rotting corpses finally setting down through her sinuses.

"Disgusting... I can believe that we are now indeed in the underworld." She turned her face away from the oozing and molding walls, which was very similar to the flesh door from earlier.

Ryuu spoke of nothing, seeing as he was now their hostage instead of the other way around.

It was only until fifteen minutes later of wandering through endless halls, that Zim noticed that Tak was no loner among them.

"Wait, where is Tak? Was she not with us a moment ago?", his face burned with anger. That little sneak got away! Again!

Dib shook his head, not caring at the moment. "Well, where ever she is, she can take care of herself. She's pretty tough."

Zora turned her head towards the male humans' direction, "Do you like Tak, Dib?"

Dibs' face turned beet red, flushing up to the point that blood could squirt out of his ears and nose.

"W-WHAT? ME? LIKE TAK? HA! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!"

Zora giggled softly, her grip on Zim still steady and firm. The ex-invader kept her close to him, not wanting to let her go for even a second out of his sight.

"Well, where ever she is, there's no doubt we'll run into her later.", muttered Gaz.

Suddenly, she felt someone hit her side. "Oi! Watch it, or I'll send you into a never ending vortex of peripheral doom and horrifying despair!"

Ryuu flushed slightly, averting his eyes away from his female counterpart.

'Strange... What is this feeling? I certainly can't have feelings for this... this HUMAN?'

Gaz tilted her head slightly, and quickly looked away, flushing as well.

'Dammit. This guy gets on my nerves way too much! Guess Dib has better luck since his girlfriend isn't around...'. She growled lowly at the thought.

This is going to be a long trip down the hallway to hell, it seems.
