Another day, well... it's just another day. Lol. Hey, I got a new chapter here for you guys! I hope I can get some reviews again. It would be nice. Lol. Not trying to be picky.. ^_^ Anyways, I give to you... chapter 32 of 'A Wicked Invasion'! I won nothing except the characters that are magical and live in hell. ;)
Five days later
Zora remains in her bed in her old room in the underworld. Her friends made arrangements to be 'away' and stay in the underworld with her until she was well again.
"Hey, Gaz?"
"Yeah, whats up?" Gaz was busy chewing on some gum while playing the new installment of Game Slave: Outbreak, which luckily she received in the mail that very day after the whole portrait mess started.
"Have you seen Zim or Dib anywhere lately? I haven't seen them since this morning."
Gaz scoffed, chewing away on her sticky sweet goodness. "I dunno. I heard from that idiot brother of mine that they were both going to explore some of the underworld caverns. Hey, I have a question for you now."
Zora looked at her friend with a questioning look. "What would that be?"
"Did your dad, Walter, or your mom know where this 'Lucia' went? I mean, he is a threat, right?"
Zora placed her chin on her hand's palm, pondering. She sighed in defeat.
"Nope. From what Walter told my mom and from what she told me, was they searched everywhere. They sent guards all over the place to search for him, but never found a trace. It's like as if he turned into smoke!"
"Hmm." Gaz wasn't convinced. She knew better. 'Maybe so, but I have a hunch they're hiding the info from Zora. I wouldn't blame them though. She went through a lot.'
The silence was soon broken as they heard a loud knocking on the door. Gaz waved over to Gir, signaling him to go open the door, being as it was that she was too busy playing her Game Slave.
Gir was more than happy to comply, scampering off the grab the big fancy knob. He jumped and took a hold, twisting for it to open, and it did.
"Hello, Zora. Gaz." Edmond entered the room, looking down at his feet, noticing Gir for the first time.
"and.. who's this?"
Zora giggled, forgetting that Edmond wasn't familiar with Gir yet, even after five days of resting in Hell.
"Edmond, this is Gir. He is Zims' pet robot. He's just wearing the green dog suit as a disguise."
Edmond continued to stare at the small, green dog, who was busy chasing his tail, only to stop and attempt to take a leak on his shoes.
"Agh! Not there!" Edmond jumped away from Gir and quickly picked him up. Gir smiled and asked for a cookie, which left Edmond more dumbfounded than angry.
"Now that's not nice." Gaz stated without looking, "He knows you're the only toilet in the room for him to use, so don't blame him."
Edmond scowled at her, seeing that her attitude towards him hasn't changed one bit over the last couple of days.
During the last few days, Gaz and Edmond were on thin terms with each other. One would try to sprinkle devil snappers on the others pizza, and in exchange, the victimized would pour a cup of Tabasco into the accused ones' flask of their preferred drink.
Yep, it was mayhem. It wasn't that long ago that Gaz wrote 'GLOMP THIS' with a target sign on the back of Edmond's shirt early that morning with an Expo marker. The best part: it was a permanent one.
Edmond still didn't took notice of it, or at least it seemed so.
It proved so that he didn't when he turned around to close the door behind him, ending up with Gir jumping him with a loud squeal.
"HUG THE EMO BOY! I LOVE YOU EDUARDO!", Gir screeched, giggling madly as Edmond struggled to get him off.
"What the hell? I'm not emo! And my name's not Eduardo! It's Edmond!" Finally after ten minutes of wrestling poor Gir (more like with his shirt), he yanked him off his shirt and handed him over to Zora.
Gaz was in stitches, unable to hold in her laughter. Edmond simply threw a death glare over at the purple haired goth. Gaz took note of this, and stopped in her moment of joy.
"What? It was funny... Eduardo."
Edmond's scowl grew bigger by the second. Then, the real fight began.
"Bitch.", he spat.
"Asswipe.", she replied coldly.
"Harlot."
"Fagot."
"Skank."
"Prick."
Edmond struggled to find another name to use, until she threw another name at him. A very unnecessaryone.
"You're a scrawny lemon sprinkle that drinks from an overaged bottle and carry a little diary like a seven year old school girl."
A long, dreadful silence filled the room. No one spoke... until Edmond lunged towards her.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY THIS TIME GAZ!"
Gaz rolled on the floor, avoiding him. She shot up from the ground, continuing her taunts.
"What's the matter? Did I get poor little Ed angry? That's right, I'll call you Ed from now on."
The pale blonde boy gritted his teeth as he grabbed a vase and threw it at her, missing only by a few inches.
"What's wrong, Gazzy? Are you afraid? Are you chicken?", he mocked her, seeing if he can rile her up.
It worked. Again.
"Chicken? I'll show you chicken! PREPARE TO FRY!"
Gaz grabbed a glass ornamental sphere and threw it towards Edmond. He dodged it before it could shatter into his face.
Zora grabbed a pillow and hid behind it, with Gir next to her. Gir, on the other hand, was too busy humming while playing with his feet.
"Dammit, woman! You could have killed me!" He screamed.
"That was the whole point, you moron!" She yelled back, fuming just as much.
Edmond's hand felt around from behind him, hoping to grab something. He suddenly felt a bunch of beads or something of the sort and grabbed a handful. Turns out they were Skittles.
"TASTE THE RAINBOW!" He threw them, all the pieces flying in different directions towards the young female goth.
Gaz grabbed a photo frame and used it as a shield. The person in the portrait screamed and ran away, as the small pellets smashed into the glass, breaking it.
While guarding herself, she groped around with her hand and found something similar to what Edmond threw at her. They were M&M's.
Then, as he had his guard down for the moment, she took advantage and attacked.
"I'M NOT AFRAID!" All the small colored covered chocolates went flying at high speed.
Bulls eye. One piece hit in in the eye, blinding him.
She took the chance and tackled him, delivering blows of pain at his chest and stomach region.
Edmond grabbed her fists in attempts to restrain her from making further damage (although he hardly had a scratch on him).
He suddenly pushed her off of him, as he got up and regained composure.
Gaz rose as well, huffing and puffing. "Well? Is that all you got, princess?", she spat, venom clear in her voice.
Edmond smirked, grabbing his notebook out of his pocket. That's when Zora's eyes widened with shock.
"No, Edmond! Don't! She know she doesn't mean it!"
Gaz looked over at Zora with a bewildered and confused glance. Zora quickly explained to Gaz.
"His death book! He can kill anyone in an instant by either reciting spells or writing them in his book!"
Gaz's face dropped. "Oh, shit."
Just as the book began to glow, Edmond chuckled.
"Now are you going to continue? Play time's over, Gazzy."
But before anything was recited, a hand grabbed him firmly on the shoulder. Hard.
His head spun about, only to pale more as he saw that it was Dante.
'Double shit.', he thought.
"Well, I'd hate to break this up, seeing that it was the most entertaining fight I've seen all week. But, I can't let you kill anyone right now, Edmond. Why don't you save your power for when we find Lucia, hmm?"
Growling in defeat, Edmond closed and pocketed his book away into his pocket.
Dante looked up at Gaz. "I'm surprised. For a human, I must say, you have guts to brawl with a demon. Especially a high ranked one such as Edmond."
Gaz shuffled her feet, her fists lowered. "Hmph. If you're so mighty, then teach him some manners, why don't ya? He's going to need them if he's going to wear a dress and a tiara."
Dante chuckled, while Edmond fumed even more. Dante then whispered something into the young demon's ear. Edmond gave him a shocked look of disbelief.
"That's not fair! You're supposed to back me up!"
Dante smirked. "Hey, I'm not supposed to be nice or be on anyone's side in particular, especially in this case scenario. Let's face it, she has you beat."
As Dante turned around to leave, he added, "I'm the king of Hell. And from what I saw, Gaz here is more stronger and bold. You need more training."
Edmond flushed furiously, before admitting defeat. "Yes, sir."
With that, Dante left, a smirk left on his face. As soon as he was out of earshot, he laughed and said to himself, "Damn kids. Such rebels nowadays."
Back in the bedroom, Edmond sat down in the wicker chair next to Zora's bed. He never felt so humiliated. Gaz simply sat on the bed and sighed.
"Well, back to the drawing board. Where the hell are the two idiots, anyways?"
Edmond scoffed. "Don't you mean three?"
Gaz turned around to face him. "You're here with us, your majesty, so I don't see your point there."
Zora couldn't help but giggle.
"Not me, you wretch. I'm talking about Ryuu. Apparently, he left with your brother and that no good alien."
Gaz threw herself back on the bed, exhausted.
"In that case, your guess is as good as mine."
