Thanks Guest review, whoever you are along with Everclear. Invader Johnny, you always rule. Ngrey, I do have my favorite characters and Dib happens to be one of them. He is in charge of this group because of his knowledge, and he is not only trying to keep his remaining family in tact, but others as well. If I was in his position, I'd act the same way. I'm glad you liked that part with Dib.
Warning: A bit of torture here in this chapter.
Zim enjoyed watching the pig smelly being dragged in and strapped up in front of him. He ordered him to be fumigated off so he wouldn't be that bothered by the smell of him, but it still offered a stench. A rather unpleasant one. Even when Dib was wet, he didn't actually have this stench. Gaz certainly had a very pleasant scent on her always. He glanced over at the wet matted down green hair that seemed more blonde then green. Really, he didn't care since he was just passing the time before he went near him so he pulled off his gloves to make a show of his clawed hand. Smirking at the sharp nails once he heard the uttered plea for mercy. There was no need for Zim to look at him as he went on, the stupid boy was an open book.
Zim started humming something. Something he once heard on Earth. A tune he couldn't quite place, but it always would get shoved into his thought process. Zim could of swore he heard the monkey hum along with him. The monkey wasn't given permission to join him, he thought ruefully as he tapped his fingers along the metal tray table next to him. Zim's humming increased and he swore now he heard words coming out of that ugly face in front of him. Zim refused to tense up as he kept going, but how dare he join him without asking for permission prompting Zim to run his claws heavily into the tray.
Iggin's sweated and whimpered at watching those nails go into that thing. He was going in deep, curling metal shards along the way. He's going to die!
Zim calmed down at his tortured whines. Leaning back in his seat, Zim stretched out his legs, and rested his hands along his stomach area while he stared and smirked at him. The pig smells so much worse when he sweats more.
"I won't tell you where they are. I won't betray my queen." Iggins sputtered out.
Zim continued to stare, he refused to respond until necessary. Let the pig bury himself.
Iggins almost lost his stomach again. He wished he stopped staring at him. Those bug eyes of his. That smile of his. Those nails! He looked satanic. "What happened to, Zita?"
Zim didn't respond even as Nick entered into the room carrying a drink in his hand. Zim pointed over at Iggins showing Nick that is who receives it.
Sneering at the straw coming at his face, Iggins panicked. "I'm not drinking that! It could be poison."
"Its not. I just had some and it tastes so good." Nick offered. "Best I have ever had."
"No! I doubt your even human anymore! Go away freak!" Iggins cried out as he struggled.
Shuddering, Nick kept his smile up. "Oh, Master hates being refused." Grabbing the back of Iggins head, he forced the straw into his mouth. "You drink or else." Lets out a shuddering laugh.
Zim enjoyed this show as he watched that pudgy kid finally drink the liquid in. His smirk grew.
"Ohhhhh, you a good boy. Okay, Master, he drank it all." Nick left without so much as a good bye or thanks from Zim.
Coughing what went down his throat wrong, Iggins really couldn't place the taste at all as she looked up at Zim with tears rolling down his eyes. "What was that?"
Zim went to re-examine his nails again.
Trying to kick and failing, he hit his head hard against the table he was strapped against crying out. "What was that?"
Oh the suffering. How he loved to watch the suffering, Zim thought to himself.
"I just wanted to see her face one last time. She is so beautiful and deadly at the same time. A gamers wet dream." Iggins moaned out.
Zim lost count on how many guys had a thing for her. He started to count it off just to keep himself occupied before physically torturing the poor slob. Ha! Poor slob.
"Yeah she scared me, but after that I couldn't help but want her when I couldn't help but think of how well she coincided with things." He went on.
Zim hoped she didn't share a room with others. Though that was doubtful.
"Yeah, I touched her rear. She looked really good in that skirt that day. Yeah she beat me up, but it was worth it."
Zim's eyes flared. "You wanted to know what happened to, Zita. I'll tell you. She's inside your stomach as you speak."
Stomach gurgling, he felt sick as he was about to hurl, but yelled when Zim quickly got off his seat to slam his table down flat making him vomit in the worse possible way. Straps around his legs, arms, waist and even neck Iggins started to struggle to breath.
"So that is how you get your thrills then. You have to sneak up to an unsuspecting female to touch her! You make me sick." Hearing him gagging, Zim laughed. "Oh you don't like this, do you?" Putting the table upright again, Zim punched his stomach prompting him to breath. "Well! I didn't think that was gonna help. Oh well, I have much more planned with you now."
"Did I really digest a human?" Iggins voice was so hoarse that he felt like his vocal cords were actually bleeding.
"Ewww, as if. I like to torture and experiment as the next Irken, but to do that is positively disgusting. I do have my limits." Zim nonchalantly replied.
"Zim! Tallest Red and Purple are requesting your presence on the bridge on an important matter." The Computer announced.
"Fine. I'll be there. Keep a watch on this ugly thing."
Quickly arriving on the bridge, Zim saw Tak surrounded by guards. Zim almost had to laugh at her worse case of luck. Tak of course sneered at him knowing the thoughts that were going through his mind.
"We caught her trying to blow past the Armada as if she thought she can get away with it." Red informed him. "She thinks she's so clever."
"Still more clever then him." Tak pointed out as she indicated Zim.
"Well you aren't so clever. Only guilty parties do that thing, Tak." Purple stated. "Time to hook her pak up to read her memories."
"That is an excellent decision, Purple. What say you, Zim?"
Hands behind his back, Zim acknowledged. "I agree."
"What if she has something on you a long time ago, Zim?" Red wondered.
Laughing, Zim looked him directly in the eyes. "I know you can both agree how young, small and foolish I once was. I have matured since then."
With one glance over at one another, Purple practically screamed out, "Hook her up! Do it here."
Tak shrunk at the thought of everyone seeing a certain memory. She won't deny she warned Dib, but she mated outside her own species when it wasn't sanctioned for her station. Feeling the guards strap her in to a chair, and being hooked in, Tak watched as her memories filtered through.
For Zim it was embarrassing once they reached the part of him first meeting her and what happened there. Cringeworthy was the exact word even though he covered it up with his Zimness as he boldly watched everything including something that made far too many in the room go.
"... Ewwwwwwwwwwww..."
Tak looked down. She knew she shouldn't of done it, but she did because she did like him. She heard either Red or Purple throw up. She was breathing harder trying to maintain her last bit of remaining pride even as things progressed. There was the meeting with all of them, her on Earth, her being chased, and rescued by Dib. He saw through her too easily. The final nail was her speaking of the plan. This is when she decided to hold her head up high to focus ahead. They will not defeat her.
"KILL HER!" Purple bellowed.
Placing a hand on his friends shoulder, Red looked at her in the same way he use to look at Zim. "You mated outside your own species. You aren't sanctioned for that given your class, Tak. To make things worse, you warn that human of Zim's own plan. Betraying your own kind and your Tallest is the worst offense. Exiling you would be too kind. Death is better."
"Even that is too kind." Zim chimed in softly.
"Meaning?"
"We can't abide by her betraying us, true. Killing her would be far too simple. Torturing her on the other hand... A much better solution." Zim explained. "There are those humans down there. Humans that were trained by the Membrane's personally. They hate us to the point they still try to attack us. We simply put her in the same cell as them."
Purple laughed at that thought. "So evil, but she is one of us and far more stronger then them."
"Still. Just imagine it, Red and Purple."
"Get her to the cell with the humans." Red ordered. "This'll teach you to mess with the Empire."
Tak had no response as she was hauled away. Zim enjoyed the scene happen as he fought off his laughter.
"I would like to try to leave this place soon though." Red grumbled. "Please get that human of yours Zim so we can get out of here."
"Trying, but she has been injured to the point she can't walk according to that idiot I have right now. He was a part of their group." Zim informed them. "Trust me that I want to leave here as well."
"At least one thing, we caught a donut maker who makes the best treats." Purple gushed. "Those creatures are disgusting, but they make a good snack."
"My Tallests! There is something quite disturbing happening on Earth right now." Alerted a helmsman.
"Put it on screen." Red ordered in a bored voice while adding to Zim and Purple in a low voice, "What could be more disturbing then Tak mating with that large headed boy?"
The image showed bodies of dead Irkens in a pattern shape in the towns quad center. There was no human to be seen until something dark walked slowly up to the shape along with other humans carrying canisters with them before walking around the bodies dumping liquid on them. Once the liquid was poured, those humans walked away, but the one in all black was still there before someone walked forward with a torch.
"Uhhh what are they planning on doing?" Purple nervously asked.
Red and Zim remained quiet as they studied it. Zim had a vague recollection what the symbol was, but he'd have to look it up again.
The hooded figure accepted the torch as the other one who gave it to them left. There was some waving of it in front of it until the figure dropped it down to the closest body instantly placing it on fire. After that all the bodies lit up one after another until it reached the middle as the figure in the hood was well back watching the entire scene. The quad area was lit up now. The hooded figure finally placed their hood down revealing themselves as they looked at the flames in nothing but pride.
"Heading down there right now!" Zim announced running out of there.
"She's scary."
"Scary indeed, Pur." Red ran his claws against his antenna's. "She can't be human."
Well, well, Tak tsk tsk.
Also wait for it.
