Alright, alright, I know. You do/do not want anyone/everyone to be exploded. You shall find out! BEGIN THE CHAPTER! I own NOTHING!

Chapter 14

Crashed

Zim blinked slowly. He wondered if he had woken up or was dead. He decided by the blazing pain he felt that he was indeed alive. Very alive. Slowly he sat upright, cracking his spine back into place. He could tell that it had broken, but managed to heal itself before he woke.

The Hydra had crashed down on some planet. He couldn't tell which planet exactly, but he realized that he could likely use the small communicator in his PAK to locate Gir, and use Gir to call the tallest.

"Gir," He ordered "Get over here!"

Gir exploded out of the remains of what looked like X's chair.

"HI!" He screamed. Zim winced.

"Gir, I need you to-" He was cut off mid-sentence by a shock of black energy. In a moment the coils of blackness had him by the legs, upside-down. Shadow had awakened as well.

"Now, now." He whispered condescendingly. "No need for any of that nonsense. I've had enough from that little mouth of yours you psychotic little creep."

Zim shivered. Shadow had an aura of menace about him that seemed to send a chill through the air.

"Now, under any other circumstance, I would kill you, here and now. But I'm curious about you. It isn't just anyone who can force X out of their heads. You must have one Hell of a brain."

In spite of his situation, Zim couldn't help but smirk slightly. He wasn't used to being called intelligent. Mainly because he unintentionally became the enemy of most of the known universe. Still he had to get out of this ASAP.

An idea formed in his head.

It might just work He thought.

"Gir! He is a piggy! GET THE PIGGY!" Zim screamed.

Gir shot forward and tackled Shadow, knocking him to the ground.

"Get off me!" Shadow hissed.

"Awww… Somebody needs a huuug!" Gir squealed, embracing Shadow.

"AAAAH!"

Zim leapt free of the shadowy coils wrapped around his throat and pinned Shadow down, PAK leg extended. It poised to strike shadow, just under the neck. Only one thing was stopping it from attacking. And that would be a sudden force, ripping Zim off his feet.

Shadow sighed with a hint of relief. Tina had awoken and had managed to pull Zim away. She pinned him down and bashed his head against the ground. Zim responded by viciously kicking her in the Spooch. Tina swiftly leapt back and tensed to strike. Zim stood and charged. Tina dealt Zim three blows. One to the head, another to the ribs, and a very, very painful kick directly between the legs.

"Owww…" Zim gasped. "You…little…pain…in…the…ass!" He let out a low groan as he fell to his knees, eyes wide with pain.

"There. Now we're even for destroying our ship." Tina said calmly.

"WOW!" Dib was conscious. "You have no idea how much I would have liked to do that!"

"I can take a guess." Said a low voice. Everyone (Except for the unconscious ones) jumped. Nny had an eerie voice. He stood slowly and grinned. "He is obnoxious isn't he?"

"That's a lot of cruel punishment for obnoxiousness!" Shadow noted wincing.

"Really?" Nny asked, surprised. "I've killed for less. But then again, I am criminally insane."

"What?"

"Nevermind."

Dib frowned. This guy was pretty darn creepy. Especially since he wouldn't say much about himself.

Zim was still doubled over.

"So… much…pain!" He gasped. "Oh…Gir… give…me… the… painkiller!"

Gir pulled a small hammer out of his head and handed it to Zim, who promptly knocked himself out with it.

This was mainly a chapter to give me time for more ideas. Yes everyone is alive, just unconscious. REVIEW! And I will… Give you… I dunno… Gir voice changers? Sure, why not?
