And back to earth. Again
Zim: AAAAAH! I managed to get away! Tak is killing Dib instead of me! Lord Dread Raven owns nothing!
Chapter 7
Experiment Success
Zim ran to his lab, supported by Skoodge. Gir was still running around the woods screaming, and Minimoose guarded the front door of the base.
"C-Computer!" Zim gasped. "Bring up secret experiment 54A5T!"
"…You had a 'secret' experiment?" Skoodge asked, raising an antenna.
Zim ignored him as the bizarre creature slid from the floor. It was sealed in a glass tube, filled with liquid that obscured its form. All that could be identified were a pair of glowing red eyes.
"I made it myself!" Cackled Zim. "A genetically engineered bio-hybrid soldier. He will obey all of my commands, as well as be able to improvise and learn on his own."
"Ehh… What if he acts like Gir in duty mode?"
"He won't." Zim said confidently. "I'm so awesome that I was able to give him loyalty to me rather than the mission itself, which was the main problem with Gir. I AM ZIM! COME AND FACE MY SUPER SOLDIER TAK!"
An explosion sounded from upstairs. Zim jumped. Tak had come as he was ranting. A tendril of smoke slipped down the elevator shaft giving her an eerie silhouette as she entered.
"Your antennae are going around your throat Zim!" She snarled.
"No. I don't think so." Zim hissed ominously. Or so he thought. Actually, he simply sounded hoarse.
The glass shattered, and the creature slithered out. All of those present shivered at the sight of it. A tall sinewy creature, he was lean and creepy. Two long slit-like eyes glowed flame red and seemed to possess an uncanny intelligence. Slowly it uncurled its spear-like tail and opened huge bat-wings. It flexed itself and leapt from its containment chamber.
"I!" it hissed in a serpent-like voice "Am!" He (Because I'm sick of sayin' 'it'. It, it, it, blah, blah, blah.) "SHAST!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. He snapped his angular head downwards, leering at Tak.
"Shall I dessstroy the intruder, massster?"
"YES!" Cackled Zim "Eliminate her! Make her rue the day she tried to break my spine- AH! MY SPINE!" He gasped as Gir fell on his back.
Tak drew out her spider legs. This 'Shast' was created by Zim, so how dangerous could it…?
With lightning speed, Shast leapt forth and whipped his pointed tail through the air. Tak ducked and rolled, barley avoiding the deadly spike. She gasped as it sliced the wall slightly, as though it was paper.
She attacked sharply, attempting to pin his arm to the wall. Instead, she was merely flipped to the earth like a rag doll. Shast cackled. It sounded like nails in a blender.
"You wench… I am death. You are a fool to face me. Or crazy. Or both, it isss a common mix."
"Death? Oh please." Tak snorted, rolling sideways to evade Shast's clawed limbs. "If Zim could make something like that, he'd have destroyed the earth years ago!"
"Ah, but it took yearsss to be created." Shast replied, pinning Tak to the wall. "In that sense, I could be used to destroy the earth, if Zim wished it."
Dib chose that moment to tumble down the elevator shaft, his head getting stuck in the doorway, facing everything that was happening. It was notable that he was missing a few teeth and his glasses were broken.
"W- OH MY GOD!" He screamed upon seeing Shast. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?"
Shast ignored him. Slowly his tail rose into the air.
"Any lassst wordsss?" He hissed.
Tak opened her mouth, presumably to make either a brave comment or perhaps an expletive, when a light flashed.
"INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM THE MASSIVE." The computer reported.
"Wait a moment!" Zim called grinning evilly.
Tak gritted her teeth as the message began…
Ha! Cliff hanger! Hate me yet? Review! Also 54A5T is actually Shast's name! Type 54 into a calculator & hold it upside-down. It should look like 'Sh'.
Review! Or Shast will kill you! Violently!
