HI! (Giggles insanely) Welcome to Invader X! It seems that not many people are reading this… However, I press on for those who are! (Heroic pose moment) Anyway, we're still on earth…
Tak: Hurry up and write so that Shast can put me down or kill me! Either one! I HAVE BEEN PINNED TO THIS WALL FOR THE WHOLE TIME YOU HAVE NOT BEEN WRITING!
Me: uhh… I own naught but Shast and the Hunters.
Chapter 8
A Call from the Tallest
"My Tallest!" Crowed Zim. "You called in time to witness the execution of that mission thief, Tak!"
Red raised an antenna. Then gave a scream of disgust at the sight of Shast. He quickly began coughing to cover up his embarrassment.
"Listen Zim. We need every single Irken we can get a hold of alive, so tell that thing to release Tak."
Zim sulked, but snapped his fingers, and Shast released Tak. She glowered at him a moment before turning her attention to the callscreen.
"This is going to go out to any Irken with a danger level of five or higher, and you two are the only ones out of six who we can contact at the moment."
"Wasn't there seven?" Purple asked, confused.
"X was you idiot."
"Oh yeah- Hey!"
Red facepalmed and sighed.
"At any rate here is your mission…" Red began.
…..
Slowly Nny trudged through the streets, his mind churning. Why had he let her go?
"Simple" a voice hissed in his ear. "You are becoming a slave to your emotions."
"Shut up Meat!" Nny snarled at the Bub's Burger Boy figure. "I don't need emotion to get through life."
"Don't you now?" Reverend Meat snorted. "Then why do you still fail to rid yourself of them?"
"It's like a disease." Nny grumbled. "You think it's gone and then, WHAM! It's back and stronger than before."
"Or Mr. Samsa." Meat added.
Nny nodded, and then paused. Something was behind him. Slowly he turned. There, on the ground, one eye hideously swollen was the horrible, the terrifying… Madness the Chihuahua.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Nny and Reverend Meat screamed in terror before fleeing into the nearest house.
The nearest, most bizarre house, one could ever imagine. Even with a mind like Nny's…
…
"Hmm." Zim mused. "So my Tallest, you want the awesome powers of Zim to track down this 'X' traitor?"
"Yep" Purple nodded. "Tak must stay alive. That way, there's less chance of you survive- I mean, of any of the Hunters escaping."
Zim was oblivious to the slip but Tak caught it and winked to show she understood. She shivered as Shast hissed softly.
"Don't think it will be ssso easssy." He whispered, as Zim saluted his Tallest and began babbling how awesome he was. "I will be watching you, little one." The 'little one' statement made sense, as Shast was about seven feet high.
Zim was about to sign off, when a figure fell down the elevator shaft, knocking Dib free.
"HOW DO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE KNOW MY ELEVATOR IS IN THE GOD DAMNED TOILET!" Zim shrieked.
"That was an elevator?" Nny asked, surprised. "I was running from the- AAAAH! HE FOLLOWED ME THE LITTLE FREAK!" Nny howled and backed away as... Reverend Meat fell on his back.
"Umm… I'm not here," He said nervously. "I'm just… an illusion. Yeah. Uh… AAAGH!" He broke off as Madness tumbled down the shaft.
"MADNESS!" Everyone screamed, even the Tallest.
Nny hurled a pair of daggers at the Chihuahua, who merely walked forward and avoided them without even trying.
"Awww…. He's cute!" squealed Gir. "The puppy is playing with the scary man!"
"GIR!" Shouted Zim. "Eat the puppy! The puppy is a taco! Don't be fooled!"
"TACO! I'ma gonna EAT YOU! EAAAAT!" Gir charged forth and ate madness with a single gulp.
"Whew!" Zim gasped, wiping a hand across his brow. "Good work Gir."
Nny did a double take.
"I didn't see that." He whispered in shock.
"No… Uh, no you saw nothing!" Zim called out. "Nothing here is- Urk!" He was cut off as Nny grabbed him and lifted him up.
"Gir! Defensive mode!" Zim shrieked
"Yes sir!" Gir cried eyes turning red. Nny snorted.
"I've already knocked out one little robot what could anoth- Oh. Crap." Nny dropped Zim as Gir's weapons slipped out of his head.
"How does even half of that stuff fit?" Tak asked, but was ignored. "Hey wait; you're that scary guy who knocked me out!"
Nny nodded. "Ain't I awesome like that?" He said proudly. "Yes I am the one who squeezed everything you know about Irkens! I am the one who can slit anyone's throat! I SUCK!" He screamed suddenly, causing everyone to jump. "I KILL PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE THEY ANNOY ME! I TRIED TO KILL THE ONE GIRL WHO LIKED ME TO 'IMMORTALIZE THE MOMENT!' THREE HUMANS HAVE ESCAPED MY HOUSE ALIVE, ONE OF WHICH I RELEASED! WHY ME? BECAUSE I'M A GOD DAMNED WASTE LOCK! Wait… pretend I didn't say that last bit."
There was a long silence. Then;
"Uh… Wow. You've been holding that in a long time, huh Johnny?" Reverend Meat noted dryly.
"SHUT UP!" Nny shrieked.
"Incidentally, why is therea hovering Bub's Burger Boy in here?" Skoodge asked.
"This is too weird." Red whispered. "Let's cut the transmission." And the screen flickered out.
"Let's go get some doughnuts!" Purple cried out.
"We're out of doughnuts." Red reminded him.
"!"
Purple shrieked, lasting a full hour.
Red facepalmed.
"I hate you." He muttered
And that is as far as I go. How weird was that chapter anyway? Review… Or I steal all of YOUR doughnuts.
Purple: YOU stole my doughnuts? THROW HIM INTO THE COLD VACUME OF SPACE!
Me: SHUT UP! OR I'll eat your soul! Then you won't be able to eat again!
