HI! I'm being tortured by demons!...
What, you don't wanna know about that? Jerks.
CHAPTER NINE HAS COME! THANK YOU FOR THOSE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!
They are my source of energy… Apart from souls… And memories.
I, Lord Dread Raven, Do solemnly swear that I do not own Invader Zim, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, or any related trademarks blah, blah, blah…
Chapter 9
Memories
The Hydra! A fast moving stealth ship. And that was putting it simply. The Hydra was capable of hiding among the dark matter of space. It could move at Mach 8: Eight times the speed of sound.
But at the moment its inhabitants were highly irritable.
"SHUT UP!" Shadow hissed.
"Wha-?" Replied Tina in surprise.
"Sorry," The Sklalian apologized. "I'm going so stir-crazy I'm starting to talk to myself."
Silence again. A comet streaked by.
"AAARHG! NOW I'M DOING IT!" Tina shrieked, causing everyone to jump.
X sighed.
Why oh why…?
"Must you?" he asked, irritated.
"S-sorry."
Silence again.
"Are we doing anything in particular?" Havel asked.
X was about to speak, when a light flashed.
Incoming Transmission. The computer intoned.
"Bring it up." X said.
The screen flickered and a familiar face came on. A familiar Vortian face.
"Hello scum." LARD NAR said.
"Shut up." X growled. "I don't need this crap. I've already gotten on the bad side of the Tallest."
"Fool." Lard Nar grinned. "I won't fall for such an obvious ploy."
"Go to Hell." X said simply.
"No. My work is against Hell not for it."
X's eye glowed. Lard Nar suddenly staggered.
"AH! What the-? I hear voices… GAH!" His voice slowly faded and he shuddered. "What was that?" He whispered.
"My powers. One of them." X said coolly. Think of it as me showing you my memories."
"M-memories?"
"A memory is like mixing a flame with time itself." X explained. "It… flows through one's mind, growing dim at times, but never fading completely. Some learn to show a memory without ever speaking of it or showing a movie, but showing the actual memory itself."
(A/N: Has your head exploded yet?)
"And why should I believe this?" Lard Nar growled.
"I merely ask you to ponder." X said, and disconnected the call.
"But the question is," X noted to his crew. "What is a true memory anyway?"
"Please don't make me think about that." Shadow groaned. "Because Phantom's head just 'sploded."
Short but sweet. Hope your head didn't explode, 'cause I need the reviews.
