A/N: What's this!? An update in less than a week for me!? INSANE! Well I was bored and reading over this chapter so there you have it. Boredom gives you happiness LOL. Thank you to all of you who supported me and helped me feel better about my friend last week, that means a lot to me and I feel like it brings me closer to my readers/reviewers/Pmer's. I really appreciated that. OH and I started actually posting stuff on my Deviant art account. Search invadercari, I'll post the link on my profile later and please comment! I know I suck at drawing but I'm at least trying LOL.
Also I made two references in this. One is a Fantastic Four quote "I just decided...You ain't no lady." It's from the old cartoons when Sue was 'evil'. And One from Rise Of the Guardians. "Uhh You take the ones on the left I'll take the ones on the right?" Both of these I do NOT own NOR DO I OWN INVADER ZIM! But I thought you guys might like to see some references =3
ALERT ALERT: MUST READ: So let me explain what's going on right now. This is a dream/slight flash back. That's why this chapter is rather choppy and some things don't flow well. It's him remembering only parts of what happened, pretty much the most traumatic parts. So Also I want to make this clear, I SUCK AT WRITING ROMANCE, it just gets weird for me BUT Vex and Axel WERE AN INTIMATE COUPLE, which means they participate in...certain activities more often. So nothing major, but if it's a rather strange romance scene just know that's because I freaking suck at writing romance confidently LOL. And I hurry through them so I don't get stuck writing about an intimate couple for an hour XD.
Review Responses! To Book Casanova! I really liked the interaction between Vex and Jeb too, it shows just how tense they are around each other and how easily they can be set off by each other...and yes, for some reason it was undeniably attractive. Just imagine the muscles tensing and the angry expressions LOL. Actually people think Jeb isn't muscular but if he and Vex full on fought to the death, Jeb would actually nearly kill Vex but would end up losing one way or the other. Jeb isn't some weak background character, he's a kick ass scientist that is very passionate about his opinions lOL. Cari did make quite the low blow on Vex...but whatever it takes right? I wanted to hug Vex after imagining the guilty expression though XD. I still loved that translation by the way. It makes me laugh even now LOl. I hope you enjoy my friend!~
PSYCHOCHICKENNNNNN Of amazingness LOL: Phil still owes me money! Imma gonna get some mofia on his ass if he don't pay up XD. And yeah, it's pretty obvious who Oni is hiding but I have to keep the suspense hanging on until just the right moment. So I can't reveal it yet =(. Vex would gladly get into a fist fight with Jeb...show him how he really feels but Jeb would rather not fight, especially if his daughter was in the room. He's supposed to be a mature adult not a kid with a grudge. I call Moons other arm! mINE MINE MINE! lOL. And thank you for your support with my friend. I really appreciated that you made sure i was doing ok. Like you said Nan-Kuru-Nai-Sah.
PUDDINGNINJA! YO BACKKKKKK: Anyways you reviewed for chapter one but it'll still come up here =3. Zimmeh is alive! Don't you just wanna hug him till he pops? LOL. Cari shan't lose hope yet! NOt while I'm writing! LOL. I can't wait to hear your input for the other chapters my dearest friend. And I'll send my chapter for The Survivors to you probably tomorrow or this weekend. Sorry it's taken so long. I'm SUPER busy LOl.
Last three reviews responded to at the bottom. Again remember the ALERT Don't be like DID...DID SHE JUSST...0.0 , no it's not like that. I wouldn't be comfortable going that far XD.
Enjoy~ Deathwish1234 back to kicking her daily asses LOL.
"Oy, where're ya goin'?" I asked groggily as I felt my warm mass pulling away from me leaving me cold and alone.
"Just to get some water, don't worry," She whispered back and ran her hand over my cheek. I smiled tiredly while opening an eye and looking up at her. She looked tired as well.
"Mmmhmm, hurry back," I said softly making her smirk at me and laugh. She nodded at me quickly before walking out of the room. I heard her messing around in the kitchen for a minute before she came back in with a glass of water that she set down on the bedside table.
I stretched in the warm bed I was laying on while smiling at her. She smiled right back at me and crawled onto the bed to sit on me and straddle my hips, "What're you smiling about?" She asked and narrowed her eyes at me.
My smile grew as I rolled my eyes and answered her, "Well, I'm smilin' at the fact that I have a gorgeous mate an' a baby on the way, also 'cause yer fun ta smile at."
"Well our baby has yet to stop kicking me since I woke up an hour ago, mind telling it off?"
"Hmm, I would but I'm too much of a softy ta yell at my unborn child," I answered and let my hands wander onto her round stomach, "But yer right, our kid is quite the kicker," I commented while feeling little taps on my hand.
"And I'm about to kick it back," She growled making me smirk and give her a funny look, "Well if it won't stop kicking me then that's what he or she is gonna get!"
"You mad?" She glared at me for teasing her and flicked my forehead.
"No, I'm pissed. Is that a better way to put it?"
"Sure, but now our kid's gonna be talkin' like that," I pointed out while sneaking my arms around her waist and pulling her closer to me.
"You cuss more than me!"
"I'm not the one carryin' the child," I teased again while she glared at me. I loved annoying her. She was always pretty when she was irritated, also funny, can't leave that factor out.
"Oh I bet you just think that's funny don't you?"
"Hell yes I do, yer hilarious when yer mad."
"I'll give you something to laugh about Mr.!" She grumbled and crossed her arms over her chest as I smiled at her and pulled her down so she was lying on top of me. She glared down at me for a second before her expression softened and she sighed, "I despise you but I also love you very much."
"Well can't say I ain't happy ta hear that," I said and winked at her, "I love you too by the way."
"Just shut up and kiss me you idiot," I quirked an eye brow at her for a second before shrugging and pushing myself up on my elbows to kiss her. I pulled away a few moments later and laid back down, "Really is that all you got?"
"Yer pregnant," I reminded her with a serious look on my face.
"So?"
"We also have a guest in the house; I don't think we wanna scar her fer life."
"Oniumare wouldn't care, she knows how we act," She argued and put her hands on either side of my face.
"Doesn't mean she wants ta hear how we act," I pointed out while raising an eye brow at her. She just rolled her eyes and leaned down to kiss me herself.
"She won't hear anything because we wouldn't go that far."
I thought about it for a moment and weighed my options before sighing and looking up into Axel's pretty orange eyes, "I hate it when ya do this ta me."
"No you don't, you've never complained before."
"I didn't mean that, I just mean always winning in arguments with me, it ain't fair," I pretended to pout while running my hands down her back gently.
"Life ain't fair honey," She growled back while I started to sit up. She was still on my lap making it a tad bit more difficult to move but I eventually did so and wrapped my arms tightly around her. She gave me a questioning look as I leaned forwards and gave her a passionate kiss.
Realizing she once again won an argument, Axel started kissing me back and wrapping her arms around my neck while opening her mouth and pushing her tongue into mine. I gladly participated in wrestling her tongue and coming out on top as I usually do.
I broke away from her to start planting hot, open mouthed kisses on her neck and under her jaw line. However I stopped upon hearing something outside, "What was that?" Axel asked obviously hearing it too.
"I don't know…maybe jus the wind er somethin'," I shrugged while glancing out the window to make sure no one was here.
"Do you think it might've been, Oniumare?"
"Why would she be outside? But I guess it could be, don't worry 'bout it," I answered and continued to ravish her neck making her sigh happily and lean more against me.
She pulled away from me for a second before kissing me again. She soon enough started pushing me back into the bed while I slid my hand under her big T shirt seeing as that's pretty much all she was wearing. I let my hand trail up her bare leg and stop on her hip.
I started letting my hand wander farther down south when there was a loud pounding on the front door. It startled me and scared Axel making both of us jump and break away from each other. Axel gave me a concerned look as I got mad for being interrupted.
"Who would be here at this time of night?" Axel asked in a worried voice. The pounding only got louder as we sat there pondering it.
"I have no Idea, but there 'bout to be in a whole heap a pain fer disturbing us," I growled back and quickly kissed Axel before sliding out from under her and getting up to get some pants on. Axel got up out of bed and copied my move of getting some pants on, "Axel ya better stay here, just in case."
"What, but what if it's someone with bad intentions? I don't want you out there handling them by yourself!" She argued with wide, worried eyes.
"I ain't alone, I got my gun," I said with a wide smirk. Axel still looked unsure and walked over to me. She had to look up seeing as I was taller than her but she just shook her head back and forth and hugged me quickly before leaning up and kissing me quickly, "Yer temptin' me ta jus say screw it an' stay in bed with ya."
"Funny, we'll finish up AFTER you go scare whoever is at our door away," She smirked and backed away from me as I nodded at her and stormed out of the room. Whoever was at my door was about to taste bullets because I HATED being disturbed while I was having my private time with my wife.
I rounded the corner towards the door to see Oniumare nervously looking out the window, "Who is it?" I asked gruffly.
She jumped upon hearing me and looked back outside, "It's a bunch of cops. They look pretty mad…be careful."
My curiosity perked, why would the cops be here? And at this time of night? That's insane. I kept pondering these thoughts as I swung the door open and glared at the men in front of me, "Can I help ya?" I asked with little hospitality. I was still pissed about being disrupted from my alone time.
The only female of the group walked up to me and stood glaring at me for a moment before speaking, "We have a warrant for, Axel's arrest," My heart stopped, "We've heard she lives here?"
Holy shit why would Axel be in trouble? She hasn't done anything bad, I'm the one who's done a bunch of bad things in my years of living, "There's no, Axel here. Jus me an' my girlfriend, Oniumare." I was pretty smart. If I could hide Axel then I would, Oni wouldn't mind helping out either.
"Is your name, Vex?" The female asked again. Her light purple eyes glared into my sharp green eyes threateningly.
"It is," I answered and used my height to try and intimidate her, "What's it to ya?"
"Then, Axel is here. She has a mate named, Vex."
"There's plenty of, Vex's on Irk. Sorry darlin' there ain't no, Axel here," I said in a calm but icy voice.
"We have a warrant to search your house Mr. Vex…don't make us use it." I glared at her as my muscles tensed up. If I could somehow tell Oniumare to get Axel and go things would be ok but I couldn't just yell it out so there wasn't too much I really could do.
"Then don't," I growled and glared deeply into her eyes, "I suggest ya leave my property before I decide ta get aggressive. This is private property, which means NO trespassers."
"Alright, use the search warrant," The female said while turning back to her group of bastards, "Mr. Vex please step out of the house."
"No."
"No?" The cop asked as she spun back around with raised eye brows. Her face was calm, cool and collected but under that mask of emotions I knew what she was thinking about and I didn't like it one bit.
"Ya heard me, now leave my property."
"No," She shot back making her partners look kind of flustered. Quite a few of them shifted their weight from foot to foot and looked at each other nervously.
"I am warnin' ya miss, ya disturbed me at the wrong time an' if ya don't leave I'll-."
"You'll what?" She interrupted and poked a rather sharp finger into my chest, "I am the sheriff of this town, when I say move…you move." I glared at her again but still refused to move. I don't bend to other's will easily…unless it's Axel.
"Vex, what's going on? Who's at the door?" I stiffened up, of all times Axel just had to get curious now!
"Nothin', Oniumare…jus get back into OUR ROOM an' stay there!" I called back over my shoulder hoping Axel would understand.
"Vex what're you talking about," Dammit, dammit, dammit, "Who is at the door?" Axel came up behind me and peered over my shoulder to see the police. Immediately she stiffened up and her eyes narrowed in fear.
"Can we help you officers?" She asked in a nervous voice while staying behind me.
"Yeah, I have a warrant here to arrest, Axel but Mr. Vex here says there is no, Axel in the house hold."
"That's true, it's only me and my girlfriend, ONIUMARE," I growled back while nudging Axel farther behind me.
The cop sighed and pinched the skin between her eyes before her antenna flattened aggressively and she turned back to her men, "Just storm them; grab, Axel and restrain, Vex."
The police nodded as I backed away from them and turned around to push Axel out of the way, "Go hide in the closet," I said urgently while she looked at me in fear. She hurried off seconds later and I turned around just in time to be hit in the face with a baton.
"Son that was the worst mistake of yer life," I growled angrily after that and grabbed him by the neck, "Oniumare, I need yer help!" I called back as Oniumare ran over and glared at the police. Now they knew the difference between Oni and Axel but if I could take them out then I wouldn't have to worry about them.
"What're you waiting for, I order you to storm them!" The sheriff snapped at her men who then came rushing forwards and shoved me backwards into the house.
I grunted when I was slammed into a wall but quickly recovered by punching the sucker right in his jaw then kneeing him in the stomach so he'd fall to the ground. Of course as soon as that was over there were three more cops to replace him.
I was punched many times in various places as I unarmed anyone who came within reach of me and continued to slam people into walls and furniture to knock them out. I looked over to make sure Oniumare was holding her own and she was but she was struggling slightly.
"Get away from me!" I heard Axel shout. My heart stopped again and I kicked the man trying to pin into some of the other police while running towards our room.
"AXEL!" I shouted in fear. She was shouting angrily while someone was ripping her out of the closet. It was that female chick. Now usually I don't hit girls but I just decided…this ain't no lady, "LEAVE HER ALONE!" I snarled while shooting forwards and slamming my body weight into the girl. She shouted in surprise as I pinned her to a wall and turned back to Axel, "Run!"
She nodded while running out of the room and through the house, "Vex, I need help!" I heard Oniumare cry out. So I abandoned the female I was still pinning and rushed through door way to see tons and I mean TONS of cops flooding the house. Some were grabbing Axel and shoving her against a wall to handcuff her while others were picking on Oniumare and shoving her around teasingly.
I was about to shout at them when a baton came in contact with my lower back…HARD. I shouted in agony and fell to my knees while putting a hand on my spine. As soon as I was down on the ground though it was an all-out pig pile.
I struggled under about five men before shoving them off and racing forwards to punch the man handcuffing my wife, "Don't touch her!" I grabbed Axel protectively and reached for my gun. I really shouldn't kill a cop but if they threatened my wife…I'd threaten their life.
"Vex help, Oniumare, I'll be ok I promise," Axel said through raggedy breaths.
"But-."
"Vex just do it! I love you ok, just…go," Axel snapped back and quickly kissed me before shoving me away from herself with her shoulder seeing as she was handcuffed. She hurried into the kitchen as soon as she pushed me away leaving me to help Oniumare.
I ran over and kneed a few men in the spine to temporarily paralyze them, and then I punched a few others until I got to Oniumare and we were pressed back to back against a whole freaking hoard of police. How I hated my life right now.
"Uhh…you take the ones on the left I'll take the ones on the right?" Oni mumbled as the police surrounded us.
"Seems legit," I muttered back while glaring down a few people in front of me. There were probably only ten to fifteen cops left but if they hit me just right I could go down within seconds, "I'll watch yer back if ya watch mine."
"Deal, go," Oni said while focusing hard on an object behind one of the cops. Hell half of them were now pointing weapons at us, "By the way I'd duck right about…now!" I ducked immediately upon hearing her shout that. By now I knew better than to question her word for as soon as I ducked my living room couch came barreling forward shrouded by her magicy stuff and nailed nearly half the guards.
I relaxed slightly and let my guard down which was the biggest mistake of my life, because soon enough I was being tackled to the ground by the sheriff and elbowed right above the PAK. I shouted in agony and tried to shove her off as she ordered her men to grab Oniumare.
Oni shouted in fear as a few of the cops surrounded her and grabbed her hands while knocking her to the ground, "Yer a bitch!" I spat at the woman whom was still proceeding to pin me and put pressure on my back.
"I've been called worse," She answered while wrapping an arm around my neck and lifting up while pushing down on my back. I screamed in pain again and choked as she continued to try strangling me, "You!" She shouted while pointing to a light blue eyed fellow, "Handcuff, Vex. I'll handle, Axel."
"If ya even lay as much as one finger on 'er, I'll kick yer ass so hard you'll never be able ta sit down again." I snapped through raggedy, pained breaths.
"And I'll be anxiously awaiting your arrival," She spat and got off of me while the blue eyed Irken got back on me and pulled my hands behind my back. My back was throbbing making my head throb. I could still see Oniumare struggling until someone hit her with the butt of their gun, she stopped moving then.
"Oni!" I cried in worry as I started struggling again.
"A little help over here guys!" The man on top of me shouted. Soon enough, Oniumare wasn't their main target anymore…it was me. I was being hit left and right with either the back of their guns or by their fists.
I heard a shout of protest and immediately I knew it was Axel, "So that's why your dumbass of a mate is so pissed right now," I heard the sheriff growl while shoving Axel up against a wall, "Well guess what, I could care less if you're pregnant, you're still under arrest."
"On what accounts!" Axel snapped back.
"For joining a rebellious gang 100 years ago," She growled back. I froze, a hundred years ago I was Princess Cari's backup guard, Axel wasn't involved in any gangs then, she was my girlfriend! She'd never do that to Tallest Blue!
"Vex I'm sorry!" Axel cried out as they started dragging her out of the house.
"Let her go! Please, she's pregnant with my child; please…please don't take her away from me!" I shouted in agony as I watched the love of my life getting dragged away from me.
"Aww… would you like to go with her for assisting a wanted criminal?"
"Sure," I growled threateningly even though inside I was begging her to take me with her so I could at least be with Axel still.
"Oh how sweet and actual loyal man….Too bad I could care less huh? Take her away boys!" The sheriff shouted while slowly walking over to me. I glared hatefully at her as she knelt down and grabbed my chin to look her in the eyes, "Next time, I suggest you don't lie to a cop."
I then spat in her face to show her I didn't care about a damn thing she said. She growled threateningly and wiped away my bloody spit before standing back up and lifting her gun up above her head. My eyes widened at her as she brought the butt of the gun down hard on the back of my neck and upper spine.
Pain shot through my body as darkness shrouded my vision, "Vex!...VEX!"
"Axel…" I whimpered while feeling someone grab my shoulder.
"VEX! Get up man!" I shouted as I sprang awake and fell off of whatever I was sleeping on. Tears were streaming down my face, I was sweating and I was panting heavily while holding a hand over my heart. I stared at the ground with wide eyes for a minute before looking up and seeing Cari kneeling down by me with a concerned look, "You were dreaming, Vex…it was just a dream."
"But…Axel…she and I…I mean," I spluttered as my body started trembling, "They took 'er away from me…"
"Vex it was dream, that's all. It's ok now," Cari said softly while wrapping an arm around my trembling form and hugging me tightly. I leaned into her while still staring at nothing with wide, shocked eyes. I hadn't had a dream like that since Axel was first taken from me. But it's been nearly three years since then, why was I dreaming about it now.
I shoved my hand into my pocket and pulled out a picture of Axel as my hand trembled while holding it. She looked so happy…
Cari's hand covered the picture I was holding making me snap my head over to look at her, "We'll find her, Vex. I promise." I could tell she was shocked at how I was acting. I'd never cried in front of anyone before nor did I tremble about something. Hell the last time I cried around anyone was when I woke up and Axel was gone, I was beaten nearly to death and Oniumare was in a lot of pain too. It was out of character for me so I couldn't blame the kid for being surprised at my behavior.
I still stayed silent as I leaned my head into Cari's shoulder and closed my eyes to calm down, "Ya need ta stop growin' up," I said after a while of just silence and taking in shaky breaths.
"What…why?"
"Because yer gettin' too good at understandin' my pain. I'm supposed ta be the unreadable book, but yer startin' ta be able ta read the first sentence!" I shot back with a small sigh.
"Well it's only fair, you can read pretty much everything about me even when I try to rip the pages out. I think a few sentences for a whole book is a fair trade, don't you?"
"No," I grumbled making her laugh and hug me tighter.
"Just know if you need to talk to someone about it, I'm always here. Like you are for me when I think about, Zim." I sighed again, this was very true but I didn't want everyone knowing how I felt about everything. I wasn't some teenage school boy with raging hormones; I was supposed to be a grown man who can handle a little pain! I don't share feelings, I act on them…that's who I am…that's who I'll always be.
"Go back to sleep, Vex. I'll talk to you about earlier, later but for now, just get some more rest. I'll wake you up if you're having another bad dream." Cari said and pulled a blanket down from the couch I was on before. I hadn't even realized I fell asleep on her couch. That must've been right after arguing with Jeb…
She pulled the blanket down on top of me a gave me one more hug before letting me go and walking back over to her desk. I just stared at her for a moment until she quirked an eye brow at me, walked over to her bed, grabbed a pillow then proceeded to throw it at my face, "Get some sleep cowboy, I'm working!"
I just shook the rest of the shock out of my head and got back up onto the couch to sleep again. Not that I was going to be able to but I thought I might as well humor her by trying.
A/N: REmember Cari and Vex=uncle/father like bond with daughter/niece NOTHING ELSE. Vex REALLY trusts Cari so he isn't shy about anything with her. And he loves his Cari hugs LOL C8. So what did you peeps think TELL MEEEE...TELLL MEEEEE THROUGH REVIEWSSSSSS.
