I do not own Invader Zim or Superjail okay? I know it's been awhile since I updated this one and I have been working on other projects but hey I am working a little at a time to get these updated. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
Zim looked up and around. His voot cruiser had gone, and he didn't know if he could get it to come back. Looking around he saw a bunch of fierce looking men in orange jumpsuits looking at him with some sort of enraged curiosity. Zim looked up at them with a feeble smile. You are a mighty Irken Invader! Why are you scared of these humans? He thought as he looked around. He was familiar with a few prisons in space, mainly what became of Vort, Moo-Ping 10 and Foodcourtia could be one during a Foodening. He had also watched plenty of crime dramas with GIR on the television in his base and saw what humans considered a prison. This did not seem like a typical Earth prison. If anything it reminded him of some of the ones that dictators in Earth's history had. Zim had studied them well for class projects and actually gotten an A for what he had learned about various prisons used by despots in the 20th century. Only Dib and Miss Bitters had seemed concerned he enjoyed the topic too much. However from a preliminary glance he had gotten flying over and falling into Superjail, it reminded him of those prisons mixed with something out of a Roald Dahl book. Why did I have to read about that damned Chocolate factory at what was supposed to be a level of a human teenager? It seemed much too easy for them... He moved to the corner of the rec yard, hoping not to be noticed, and thinking him looking like he did in a place like this, without his disguise, no one would.
"Hey you!" A dark well built inmate said pointing to Zim.
"Who me?" Zim asked pointing to himself.
"Yeah you! You a plant by the warden?" The inmate said as he picked Zim up and held him to his face.
"No, I am not a plant, even though my skin is green. Zim sees how you could be fooled. Humans who end up in prison are often very stupid." Zim said as he tried to kick the man who pulled back and punched him in the eye.
"Well you seem to be nuts." He said as he dropped Zim, causing another inmate to come up and kick him in the stomach.
"We ain't stupid. But you seem to be." This second inmate said as he kicked Zim in the guts again.
"Stop kicking Zim! I am a mighty Irken Invader and have sent fiercer fools to their doom!" Zim said as he tried to pull his laser pistol out of his PAK to get away.
"Stop kicking Zim!" One of the other prisoners mocked as he moved closer to him. "God you must have some serious mental issues. Don't know what you did to get put here but you aren't one for the loony bin if you were."
"Zim is not insane!" He said turning on his back and firing his laser in between two of the inmates, causing one who was talking with Ash to disintegrate in front of him. Ash, seeing someone he had related to turn to his namesake, panicked thinking somehow he had done that. Looking over at the source, he saw an injured Zim getting ganged up on by the other inmates. Running over he picked up Zim and held him close. "Who are you monster?" Zim yelled, recoiling in horror at the burn victim arsonist.
"I'm Ash, well at least that's what they call me here and I'm going to get you out of this. A riot is going to break down any second." Ash explained as he headed towards the door to get him to the doctor. Now he did not trust that man much himself. He reminded him of a bizarre Nazi scientist from a cartoonish movie but he did not want someone as small as Zim to get hurt in a place like this. He did have some resemblance of a personal code.
"How can you tell?" Zim said, having been in some prison riots on intergalactic prisons. Ash motioned as one of the inmates who was assaulting Zim got punched in the back of the head and that inmate's attention was turned to his assailant and the fight spread from there. Running into a corner, he sat Zim on his lap like Santa would to a child at Christmas and looked at him. "So, Zim is it? What are you in for?"
"I fell in. My robot flew my Voot cruiser back to my base-WAIT! Why am I telling you anything?" Zim said, realizing what he was doing.
"Fine. If that is the way you want it, I can put you back in that riot. Alice and Jailbot will be here any minute and you don't want to be in their way."
"Those flying white robots?" Zim asked as Ash nodded. "One of those things brought my archnemsis here. Dib is Zim's to destroy, not inmates in his uncle's prison!"
"Wait! You said The Warden is Dib's uncle?" Ash asked as Zim nodded.
"Indeed, at least from what my computer could tell from the impressive data it could collect. Now if you will excuse me, I must get Dib from his uncle's clutches and continue our fight. OW!" Zim yelled as he tried to get off Ash and try to find Dib.
"Not until you get to the doctor." Ash said as he carried Zim to the Superjail Infirmary. "He may know how to help whatever you have."
So this human is like all the others and just thinks I have a medical condition and I am in denial about my sanity. Whatever. I can use this. Zim thought as he looked up at Ash and nodded. He then knocked on the door to the infirmary and it opened. "Vat is it dis time?" The doctor said as he looked at Ash "I vill be very busy here with that riot. But oh vell, more to experiment vith." He sighed.
"Well I am here to bring you this little guy." Ash motioned to Zim.
"Dat is no guy. Dat is an Irken!" The doctor yelled. "Do you not know an alien vhen you see vone?" Zim gulped.
"I just assumed he was the byproduct of some of the madness here." Ash sighed.
"Vell I could see how you vould vink that..." The doctor sighed.
"Zim is no alien!" He sprung up only for the doctor to catch him and throw him in a cage.
"Ves you are. And I have some vings I vish to find out about you." The Doctor said as he pulled out a drill "Moo-Ping 10 doesn't share the information they used to."
"You know about Moo-Ping 10?" Zim gulped.
"Yes, they provide a lot of genetic samples. I tried to get to Vort but your people don't like to share. I vas about to get some from those goats before your people took them over." The Doctor sighed as Zim cowered in the corner. This human knew too much. He doubted Dib knew some of this even.
Meanwhile, Dib sat beside his uncle and his assistant bored. If he had wanted egotistical ramblings, he could have just stayed at his Dad's labs and heard his father talk. As he watched the bulky prisoners attempt to do a delicate Russian Christmas ballet, only to fumble almost comically, an alarm was heard and Jailbot flew over with a sign that flashed 'RIOT IN REC YARD 4'. "Oh dear. Alice, can you take care of that?" The Warden sighed.
"I'm on it sir." Alice saluted as she ran into the hall and the rec yard to quell the riot.
"Well, Jared, Dib follow me, we'll see what happened this time." The Warden sighed as casually as if he found out they were out of his favorite soda at the store. "You 5 guys just stand there and wait for us to come back. And don't think of trying anything. Johanssen there is a snitch."
"Umm... Mr. Davis..." Dib said, not sure if he could call this man his uncle.
"I keep telling you Dibby-poo, call me your Uncle Warden!" The Warden said as he hugged Dib close.
"Okay, Uncle Warden," Dib said, the words feeling gross coming off his tongue. "Why did you tell them who the snitch was? I mean in every prison movie I had seen, once the snitch was found they were-"
"Iced?" The Warden said. "Yes that was a risk I do run by telling them that, but it is also to see how effective my training is. Sometimes you just have to take chances like that. The Warden and Jared looked from behind a glass barrier over rec yard 4 as between Alice, Jailbot and a few creations that had the Warden's face on it, the riot was quelled, the fighters sedated and injured sent to the infirmary. Alice then picked up a guy who had a slight laser burn on his side, in addition to some shanking wounds and broken limbs and headed to where the Warden was standing. "Ah, Alice! Fine quick work as usual."
"This guy says he knows how the riot broke out." Alice grunted.
"I do. Some green kid fell in from the sky, one of the other guys accused him of being a plant by you Warden sir and they started beating him up and he snuck away while a fight broke out. That's all I know sir." The prisoner said. "He fired a laser towards Ash and Jimmy and Jimmy was disintegrated too. I think he claimed he was an Irken invader or something like that. Kid sounded like he was a few fries short of a happy meal and belonged in the nuthouse rather than here." The prisoner saw Dib and the Warden, "You make a bastard Warden?"
"No, he is family though. My nephew." The Warden began. "Well, sounds like a typical riot to me Alice-" The Warden began as Dib cut him off.
"ZIM!" Dib yelled turning to the inmate. "What else happened? Where is he now? Alice did you see anyone green?"
"No, I saw a few guys on fire and with missing limbs, nothing abnormal." Alice began as Dib turned back to the injured inmate.
"Okay you, you you..." Dib said as he grabbed the him by his torn orange jumpsuit.
"Uhhhhhh Johnny..."
"Reminds me of some insane murderer guy we had here once but got out somehow. Liked being called Nny and was rather artsy with that Happy Noodle Boy comic...think he got parole because of his artistic potential..." The Warden said as Dib cut him off. "That's not Nny though..."
"Ash took him to the infirmary. That caring bastard thought like we did that he was just a nutcase with a skin condition and thought the doctor could help him. That's all I know kid!"
Dib threw the inmate down and turned to his uncle. "Uncle Warden, where's the infirmary, I have got to handle this Zim that seems to be responsible for the riot that just happened here. I was fighting with him before you brought me here."
"Oh now Dibby-poo I cannot allow that right now. This is the exact thing your father warned me about and why he thought being here would be good for you. Besides, from the sound of it, the poor being got injured in the riot. Maybe if you behave I will let you visit your friend when he's stable and the doctor says it's okay." The Warden said as Dib sighed. "But don't fret. I think you showed good potential of being a warden here yourself the way you handled that guy."
God no! Dib thought as an image of him laughing manically over Superjail dressed in the same outfit, only with his hair pointing out beside the top hat But I have got to play along. Maybe they will find out Zim is an alien...
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? And yes I made a quick reference to Johnny the Homicidal Maniac here. And what is with The Doctor knowing of aliens and the Irken Empire? Well you'll have to read on to find out. With that, remember to read (well you just did) and review. Ciao for now,
