In response to the reviews from yesterday; Yes, no one messes with the Irkens. Also yes I did include Gir in there briefly. I thought that chapter needed some cuteness.
For the longest time they just walked along in silence, it was nothing new to either of them since during the point of the Irkens invading Earth they had to spend so long in silence sneaking around. Gaz having the most experience there, but Dib still being new to it really in spite of how many times he spied on Zim in his much younger days, he realized he still had that excitability about him to let out a sound. That was a fallacy on his part. Squeezing Gaz's hand to get some of her attention, she let out a slight sound to show she was paying attention to him.
"Do you feel him?" Dib wondered.
"Scum bucket? Right now, no." She answered in a slight stressed tone.
"Sorry, I meant, Zim." That earned him a slight smile on her part as she moved her free hand to the left part of her neck to pretend she was itching herself, but he saw the bite mark still there.
"Do you feel her or at least Jack?" Gaz inquired.
"I feel the sense of sorrow. Separation from them both. I just don't feel them, feel them." He elaborated his last statement. "I wish I did."
Eyes downturned for a second, she glanced up at him. "I feel, Zim. I feel his stress. His anger. His loneliness. His desperation. I can't read his every thought, but it is just the emotions I feel."
"Must be nice, right?"
Smiling again, Gaz's eyes warmed in thought. "It is."
"I want that. I would like that with her." Peering at something far off he saw something like an outline making him for some reason just put his free hand flat palm up to face the ground as they strolled along. It was strange to feel something. "Gaz, are you transferring energy to me?"
"No. You feeling something?" Looking at him and then his hand, she went to make the same move. She started to breath a little harder. "Those are buildings up ahead."
As two pairs of eyes became one set, they saw the very clear outlines of buildings along with the largest one that appeared to be more palace like. This made their pace quicken towards that palace. They were determined and weren't too surprised at the sudden appearance of a figure in front of them. He wasn't nearly as tall as Dib, but the way he held himself spoke volumes as he considered them both in front of him, although he mostly studied Dib. Dib and Gaz became ready making him smile little by little showing his full set of teeth.
"Who are you? You aren't the same as the other." Dib pointed out.
Gaz spoke for him. "That's Pressner." The male nodded at her for guessing correctly.
Narrowing his eyes at him, Dib wanted to attack him first, but knew that would be foolhardy since he had no clue really about this bastard. "I'm certain you know I will do anything to get Jack and my future mate back." He proclaimed quietly.
Pressner raised his eyebrow up at that. The siblings might prove different for him. "Dirt specks." He muttered out taking a step forward. Materializing next to him was Psyllic as he eyed Gaz. Let him deal with the girl while he dealt with the boy.
Dib and Gaz eyed their opponents and as quickly the smurf appeared, he left making Gaz rely on her other senses even if that proved too late when she was grabbed from behind before being tossed away from her brother. Rolling away, Gaz soon righted herself to feel the ground to see her quandary. At least Pressner seemed to have the balls to be open, this one prided himself in disappearing.
Dib hardly had time to react to Gaz being attacked when he soon was facing off with Pressner as he first made out he was gonna hit him high when he hit him really low connecting to his knees flipping him over him. Crouched low, Dib kicked up as he was in mid-flip connecting than to his face, before turning back to face him. Dib tried to keep his face neutral to hide any weakness on his part.
Pressner landed finding blood coming out of his mouth. Wiping it, he glanced at Dib in some appreciation. Never had anyone landed a blow on him. When did he become weak? "I enjoy watching her feed him every day." He taunted. "Such tiny little bumps she has."
Dib's eyes narrowed. He knew he was just trying to piss him off. Throw him off. Even if he did watch Tak, he knew she was being forced. Though, they still met face to face as they started exchanging blows with one another.
Gaz had her own separate issue dealing with the smurf who came in and out of his visibility. "You are so stupid and weak if this is how you handle shit." She stated seeing a flickering in front of her before she did a high kick right into his stomach. "Coward. Weak." Kicking him in what she hoped was his groin, she let out a bolt of energy to connect to his body making him show up. "Asshole."
Angry and unfortunately something else, Psyllic knocked her on the ground pinning her to the ground after slapping her very hard in the face. "I never hit a woman, but those comments are uncalled for."
"Fuck off. You kidnapped my nephew and took his mate and you think we are going to sit around thinking we are fine with this?" Gaz growled out. "What an idiot."
Pressner was impressed at this child's skill even if it wasn't completely perfected. He looked weak, but he was strong. Smart in his movements, but Pressner knew that Psyllic set a time limit here so with a quick swipe out with a small blade he kept hidden, he swiped it against Dib's arm cutting it, but not deeply. Of course Dib hardly reacted so Pressner did something underhanded, he kicked him in the stomach before kicking him in the groin. Dib reacted then even though he fought it. Smirking, Pressner straddled him keeping him secure underneath as he did something he never did before in his entire life; He leaned forward at the sliced arm to begin licking and sucking some of his blood out.
Struggling and trying to twist away, Dib spat openly at him. "What the hell?! Get the fuck off of me you sick freak!" He screamed out.
Gaz's eyes widened at what was happening with her brother. What the hell? She thought before looking at the smurf on top of her. She thought to sound pathetic. She summoned a tear up. "Please at least give me your name so I can stop calling you smurf. I'm begging you."
Those eyes were golden with that mistiness in those eyes. "Psyllic."
"Th-thank you." She whimpered for a few more minutes before her face turned cold and she forced her arms to move as one wiggled away from him to connect to his head and the other to slam into the cold hard ground as she summoned all her strength and his own.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Psyllic cried out as his eyes turned a clear white.
In the outer atmosphere, the entire Armada was watching the scene unfold before the planet literally showed up in front of them. Zim's eyes widened before he flashed on his, little Gaz seeing her weakening and seeing the one holding her down screaming at her before aiming his fist at her. Zim had no clue if they could penetrate their atmosphere right now, but he instantly went to the control panel to line up a shot near that scene shocking the hell out of that blue creep and Pressner as they separated from Dib and Gaz. For extra measure, Zim fired another shot at the ground making them leave them be.
Zim watched as Dib recovered first to crawl over to Gaz to help her up. "Gaz? Please talk to me." Dib quietly requested.
"I'm fine, Dib." She answered weakly. "Zim I know you can see us now. His name is Psyllic."
Zim watched as she passed out and the screen went blank, but the planet stayed in focus at least. "Find anyone with that name and send a decoy ship to see if we can penetrate to the surface." He ordered.
As for Dib, he lifted his sister up in his arms knowing she needed her rest, but knowing they needed to keep going. "You are amazing, Gaz." He murmured. "Get as much rest as possible."
In the living area, Psyllic was angry. "Why were you sucking that, Dib's blood?"
"I'm a homicidal maniac. Do I need exact reasons?" Pressner replied easily without giving his true reason. "Now they know they can see your planet and shoot at it. Can they land on it?"
"No. That much I know. Shooting and landing are two different things. We always love loopholes around here. Thing is she knows my name and gave it."
"What does it matter if she knows?" Pressner never really did get why he didn't want to share that.
"It starts to unlock secrets. That is all I will say." Sitting down, he wanted to drink. He wanted to go out there and punish that girl for doing that. "I guess torture that damn Irken upstairs."
Smiling, he nodded. "I intend to." First he wanted to change after washing up, but he intended on staying around her as much as possible right now.
