A/N: I hope you like it. It took me a long time to write. I'm surprised I remembered to give this chapter a name. Please review! :)
Chapter 3: No where to run, no where to hide
"Gaz I cant believe you did that!" Dib yelled as they walked home. "Why didn't you get detention for it?"
She would have gotten detention if all the teachers weren't so afraid of her. All she had to do was tell the principle she would destroy him if he gave her detention.
"Your voice fills me with a terrible rage." She said. Dib stared back a her and sighed. He was lucky his nose wasn't broken.
"Why where you talking to Zim?" He asked
"Dib you want to start this again!" She said glaring at him.
"But Gaz you know he an..." Dib start to say
"Yeah, Zim's an alien, but so what? He's too dumb to take over the Earth!" She said. She didnt like talking bad about Zim. It made her as bad as the people who make fun of her.
"You don't know that." Dib whispered
"Yes I do! Know shut up before I destroy you!" she yelled
"Why are you so mad?" Dib asked. He was afraid he would get punched again. "What did I do to you?"
"You! Do things!" She yelled.
"Alright. Alright! I'll stop talking about it. So what restrant do you want to go to tonight?" Dib asked, trying to stop the fighting.
"Bloaty's. We're going to Bloaty's Pizza Hog." She said, as always
After their trip to Bloatys Dib left Gaz alone in her room. She told him she didn't want to talk to him any more then she had to and that his head was big. Dib went into his room to look at the video cameras he had planted in Zims house. He knew Zim was up to something. He caught Zim right when he was walking out his door. Dib was getting no where with spying on Zim. He was done with that. He was going to go investigate himself.
The green glow of Zim's house could be seen from half way up the road. When Dib got there he realized the inside of the house was dark, like there was no lights on at all. Dib stared into the window trying to get a better look.
All of the sudden the shadow of a figure zipped past the window. Dib jerked his head away from it. He had to get inside. Now. Something wasn't right.
He tried the door and found it open. He stepped in slowly. He reached into his back pack and pulled out a flash light, that he always kept with him.
They will pay. All of them. The humans, the irkens, the tallest, Dib, his brat of a sister, and Zim. I cant wait to see the look on Zim's face when I'm in control of the irkens! That weapon is the key to who rules. I hope Zim finds it. It would be much easier to kill him and take it. Poor stupid Dib. You just gave him a chance to destroy your pathetic human race. Your asking for me to destroy you right now.
Suddenly Dib turned around. He shone his flash light straight ahead of him and moved it slowly from side to side. Someone was there. Watching him. He wanted to dive for the light switch, but he knew it wouldn't work.
I hope your happy Dib. You will bring the down fall of the humans on this very night. Poor Dib. He knows I'm here but cant see me. He knows I move but he cant hear me. Yes, he knows Im here. But how could he have known I'm on the ceiling. Watching him.
Zim pulled his jacket further around his body. The chill of the wind would have easily gotten past his thin irken uniform. He turned a corner and started heading down the street. He walked in the shadows of the buildings. He couldn't risk being seen. No normally human would be walking around at this time of night and in the winter. Another problem was he left his disguise at home. He glanced around the street, making sure no one was watching him. He was so lost in thought he almost missed the house. He needed to get into the basement. After all Dibs father is the one who created the top secret weapon and his lab was in the basement. He went to the closest window and tried to pry it open. Lucky for him someone was stupid enough to leave it open.
Gaz lay in her bed, trying to forget every thing that had happened that day. Well almost everything. Zim kept wandering into her mind and she couldn't sleep. Suddenly Gaz sat up. She heard footsteps.
Tak hung from the ceiling, her six metal legs holding her in place. Her purple eye shone brightly in the darkness that had consumed the house. She didn't dare move. She held her breath. She wasn't scared of Dib. More than any thing she wanted to kill him right there. She shook here head. Not yet.
Dib walked around the base. shining his flash light around the room. There was a giant screen on the wall and test tubes filled with random items. Wires hung from the walls and draped onto the floor. Dib guess they were power cords. They had been torn to pieces and the ends were shredded. The cables and wires had been tossed onto the floor in a tangled heap. That explained the power being out. He moved closer to get a better look. He picked up a wire that was laying on the floor. It looked like something with claws had cut it.
Zim walked through the house, trying to be as quiet as possible. Even with his effort to be quiet his boots made a loud clicking noise when he walked.
"Oh forget it." He whispered. He didn't think it mattered how loud he was. It was late, everyone was a sleep. He headed towards the basement. When he got to the lab he began to look for the weapon, but there was nothing. Nothing at all. His anger boiled. If it wasn't in the lab where was it?
Gaz grabbed the closest thing to her bed, a lamp that was sitting on her night stand. She thought she would need a weapon if someone decided to come in her room. She waited a few seconds. No one came into her room. She listened to the persons footsteps. They were heading to the basement. To her fathers lab. She jumped out of bed. She had to stop them. She ran down the stairs and almost fell. She stopped when she reached the kitchen.
This can wait a second, she thought as she grabbed a can of soda.
She slowly walked down the stairs to the basement. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she saw Zim standing in the middle of the room looking angry.
"What are you doing here?" Gaz asked
Zim jumped and turned around. He was surprised when he saw Gaz standing there holding a lamp, a can of soda, and wearing black pajama pants with pigs on them.
"Ummm... I was just...LEAVING" Zim yelled, as he ran towards the stairs. He pushed past Gaz before she could stop him. She chased after him. He quickly ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. He ran over to the window that he had come it through.
She is going to kill me! Zim thought as he ran down the street.
Why did Zim cut the power in his own house? Wait... what if it wasn't Zim. Dib's eyes widened. He felt someone push him to the ground. The flash light fell to the floor. There was a smash of glass and the light went out, plunging the room into total darkness. Dib felt helpless. There was nothing he could do. A evil laugh rang throughout the room. A girls laugh.
Who is she and what is she going to do? Dib thought.
He backed up and hit what he hoped was the wall.
"No where to run, no where to hide. You cant see me but I can see you." Said the voice.
Dib knew the voice, but he couldn't remember who it belonged to. Suddenly he heard footsteps. They where getting closer and closer.
