Hearing them bang against the door uselessly, Gaz still had no clue how she managed to slip past them to get into the lab. Activating the steel bars in the doors to close up, she ran downstairs to make contact with Zim. Her body was throbbing from the repeated blows they did on her. She barely remembered her purple flame, but she was in such a rush to get someplace, she didn't know what else she done upstairs. Did she blow up the side of her house? She has done that before while she was a kid. She hoped she did some great damage to them at least.
Ignoring the taste of blood in her mouth, she went to queue up the computer, when a sledgehammer slammed into it. Jumping back in shock she looked immediately to her right to see a figure materializing in front of her as they examined the tool with a certain amount of pride. Silently moving her hands into a slot in the table in front of her, she grabbed on to something.
"I love primitive weapons. There is so much raw power behind them that when you use them the amount of damage inflicted just drenches you in someone's life blood. It is quite tantalizing." Scanning Gaz's face the figure smiled a blood tooth grin. Its teeth were actually red. "I see those idiots up there did a number on you. Quite a pity."
Gaz watched as the figure just gracefully walked in front of her. There was grace and fluidity in this creatures movements along with an eloquent sounding voice. Quickly eyeing the sledgehammer then him, she remarked. "Less damage then that could inflict on someone."
His laugh was smooth sounding. "Yes, you are actually correct there." Leaning against another table with the tool on the ground for him to lean on as if it was a cane, he smiled at her. "My methods on how I got where I am have been quite... Disgusting. Sort of speak. Why I do it? I guess when you are really spoiled rich and don't have much else to do, you become curious about things." Eyeing her, he added. "You are a rich little thing."
"I'm thinking you became a murderer because you were that bored and wanted to see the insides of people one day. Am I correct in assuming this?" He nods. "Yes, well I've never been that bored to ever want to do that."
"Oh don't flatter yourself honey. I've seen old stock footage of you, and you were quite the violent thing. I liked it." He purred.
She hated phony sounding people as it was, and this alien was phony sounding. "Why are you here?"
"Well we don't like working for anyone honestly. This is something I can agree on with those idiots up there." Listening to the continued banging he laughed again. "They can get through your gates out there, but can't figure out they can do the same thing here. As I said, idiots. Anyhow, my price for getting you is far more higher then theirs because I believe he knew somehow they would screw up. But I need to bring you in alive." Staring at the bruises and dried blood on her, he made a face. "Well you may be dented up a bit, but you are still alive."
Aching and angry, Gaz crooked her finger at him. "Come and get me."
Smiling, he flung the sledgehammer so easily that you could of sworn he didn't move. Gaz ducked and moved to the left more while keeping an eye on him, as he came flying closer to her. Seeing that coming, she took the dremel tool out and hit it directly into its shoulder making it yell. Wishing to keep a step ahead of it, she moved once again. Never keep your eyes off your target. Keep one step ahead. Fighting to remain level headed, she grabbed another tool. Something even smaller and waited for his next move. She was in no way going to waste her energy on this bozo. Let him waste it. She is going to lay waste to him.
Appearing at the threshold to the living room, Zim looked around at the shamble of a living room, and quickly to two of the most ugliest aliens ever. He recognized the leaner one to be a Terrian and the bumpy one was a Helger. Seeing how they were going at the lab door he safely assumed she was down there.
"Who are you two uglies?" Zim inquired in a low deadly tone.
The Helger was the one who turned around first and pointed out. "It's the Tallest, Icer." Stopping his banging, he turned to also face Zim. "Well my name is Blug and this here is, Icer."
Watching how both of them were trying to flank him by the way they spread out, Zim just remained patient. "I know what species you are, but why are you here?"
"Oh, we are here for your girl." Blug mentioned matter-of-factly. "Icer had a bit of fun with her. Well him mostly, I just had a little."
Zim already took a couple of steps inside the room as he studied them. "She can beat the snot out of you, by the way."
Icer snickered. "She is a feisty thing. I like them that way."
Watching as they took a few steps forward, Zim extended his spider legs out of his pak to immediately stab Icer in the foot, and slice the other leg across Blug's face. Enjoying the little cries. Zim made a primal noise before all three of them pounced.
The eloquent one quickly went at her again, where she bent down on her knees, and stabbed him in the upper thigh, before rolling away, and facing him again a little further away. The alien didn't scream in pain, but his face showed his discomfort. Gaz knew what was around her without physically looking. He smiled at her, as if in admiration, and removed himself from her eyesight. Refusing to panic, Gaz concentrated on any little sound that may help alert her to where he is. Closing her eyes briefly, she felt a presence behind her making her quickly spin around and hit him squarely on the chin. Jumping back, she watched as he disappeared again as he fixed her with a venomous stare. Glad she was the one getting her hits in now, but this one was like a cat stalking its prey, where the ones upstairs were just brutes who just continued hitting regardless if they were getting their target or not.
Taking a step back a little late though when she felt something, he instantly appeared in front of her grabbing her and putting her down.
Zim was doing his own private stalking, as he first decided to hang from the ceiling, making them shout expletives at him, and jumping up to try to grab anything they could. It reminded him of cartoon monkeys, how they jumped and grabbed. Extending one leg out along the ceiling he saw how they were transfixed with it when very quickly he extended two of his spider legs and stabbed them, one in each shoulder blade, before jumping to the ground landing a kick in the Terrian's gut landing him against the other. Spider legs extending out again, he had them follow him to the kitchen.
"That's it, I'm gonna kill that Tallest." Blug growled tossing Icer aside.
"We won't get our money." Icer complained as he tried to crawl himself up over an overturned chair, while stemming blue blood from his shoulder.
"Then we will kill him if he doesn't give it." Picking Icer up not so gently, they made their way to the kitchen.
On her back with him securing her on the floor with his legs and hands, she tried to struggle, but started to breath pretty hard. Eyeing her, he smiled. "Oh I know you are not stupid enough to think you are fooling me with that. Nice try though." Breathing softened out and now even, they looked upon one another just to see what will happen next. "I was excited to meet you. Really I was. The old Tallest actually showed that footage of you beating up Zim. Well really your brother as a robot. You took no prisoners. For a girl to do that to their own flesh and blood shows how ruthless you are."
Gaz kept her face neutral to let him speak. When she sees Zim, he will be interested in knowing about all this. And she knew she was getting out of here. As much as she didn't like people who sounded like this sucker, at least he wasn't feeling her up like those other wacko's upstairs. "You seem to be a fan, and as for that work, that was a long time ago. I've grown up since then."
"True, but as I can see in here already." He places his face closer to hers. "It never truly dies."
Is he trying to be seductive? She thought as she gagged deep down.
"You are one smart cookie." He added leaning closer to her ear.
Snapping her right foot loose, she kicked him in the groin, making him jerk up and giving her time to snake her foot around his left leg and moving him onto his back slamming him really hard at least knocking his breath out. Wrapping her legs around his in a vice like grip, she kept an eye out for the dremel again, and started punching him.
"No one is taking me against my will." She hissed out with each punch. When he moved one hand to swipe at her, she grabbed the dremel, and pummeled it into his arm this time making him yell.
I guess not so eloquent this time, She thought in complete calm. Her calmness wasn't due to the fact of enjoying this physical violence. Her calmness was simply for her own survival.
Upstairs in the kitchen, Zim had his twofer going with these uglies, as he used anything in his arsenal. Knowing that this was still her house, he really wasn't trying to destroy it. Caring for her really made him soft in a way, but not enjoying that these two's touched his, Gaz, put him a little in touch with his old sociopathic self as he went at them. The one called, Blug did land some good punches on him, while the other one became his personal punching bag, as he either punched him or flung him against his companion.
Icer found a frying pan and knocked one of his pak's legs from underneath him. It didn't make him quite stumble, but it did make him hop around a little more until he felt this space was too confining and launched Icer into the living room, followed by Blug. Zim tired, but refusing to give up, he approached them to see a case of dejavue as they flanked him again.
They were only transfixed on one another not noticing a very large purple flame arise from behind them. Zim spotted the flame, but refused to acknowledge it, as Gaz slowly lifted her arms up, that old anger he remembered when they were kids marked in her eyes, as she closed them so no one will notice her amber hues. The flame grew and licked at Blug and Icer who suddenly turned and almost charged at her until they were held back by Zim's pak legs holding their feet into the ground. He wasn't gonna stop her.
"Lard Nar released you and sent you, didn't he?" Zim questioned loudly over the din. "She will stop, if you answer this question."
Gaz, within her flames, was able to see within their own memories of all they have done. She shouldn't be allowed to stop. Or at least she should send them some place where no one will ever see them again. Gaz's flames wrapped around their legs securing them to where they were, allowing Zim to release his legs from their hold.
"Where are the rest of the prisoners? Answer these questions and it will stop."
The pain was intense to his legs. Blug lost his gravelly tone when he squeaked out. "Yes, he released us and I don't know where the rest are besides us three."
Nodding his head, Zim addressed Gaz. "Alright, my love, you have my permission to do what you wish."
"Wait! You said she would stop." Icer whined.
"Oh I did, but I never promised how." Zim said as he looked at an obviously tired Gaz.
Flames increased engulfing their entire bodies, they soon were gone, as was the flame. Relaxing her body, she at least tried to will her body to return to normal without cuts and bruises on it. Looking at Zim, she smiled and didn't get to say one word when he wrapped his arms around her.
"I knew you can wipe the floor with them." He whispered into her hair as he kissed her.
Smiling at his confidence, she wrapped her arms around him. "The third one is downstairs. He materializes but he does get hurt easily."
Separating from her, he walked down to see her handy work, and the figure that was tied down heavily and damaged. "He sent Pressner after you. We can't bring him back to base for questioning. You need to send him to where ever you sent those morons." Zim stated seriously.
Bringing her flame up again, she managed the same thing again, and looked at him questioningly.
"He was never sent to a prison planet because they couldn't hold him. He's a hired gun." Zim replied.
Fight scenes aren't normally me but somehow it went in this direction and took some time in writing it out.
