Hide n Seek

- Escape

Zim watched the sun rise up, tapping his feet in excitement and impatience. Zim sat up off his couch, passing by the disformed remains of the robot that failed him, exiting out the door.

Zims PAK legs exposed itself, piercing the concrete ground, flying towards the massive woods that Zim had last seen Dib. Zim sped through the woods, scouring everywhere for him, but he couldn't see any sign of him. Zim eventually reached the end of the woods seeing the long, busy highway. Zim looked around, using his PAK legs to get further, much faster. Zim looked everywhere he guessed Dib would go. But still no sign of the black- haired boy.

After hours and hours of searching and still nothing. Zim finally levelled down back to earth, hiding his PAK legs inside his PAK. His eyes distorting into rage, his mouth gaping wide open, showing his sharp, massive teeth. Twisting around and throwing a fist at a nearby tree in frustration. The sun quickly settled down, boiling up Zims rage even more. He still has yet to find Dib and he was growing impatient. Zim quickly moved to his computer, shouting at it to work.

"Computer!"
The cracked and glitched screen in front of him chimed on, the light beaming in different colours in front of Zim.

"Yes, Zim?"
The computer asked, now void of any previous personality.

"Show me a map of this world."
Zim demanded as the computer followed, projecting a hologram showing all the continents in the world.

"Zoom in closer up to 100 km."
The computer followed, zooming closer towards Zims location and stopping once there was 100km surrounding Zims location. Zim looked and speculating. Using his PAK legs to levitate himself and enable the touch screen, putting in a cross in the places he inspected. Zim looked around the map looking at the options and went back outside, determined to find him now. But those searches went on longer than he hoped. Days went on and Zim kept looking. Zim searched as high as he could, looking down at the small land.

Eventually those days turned into months, which turned into years. Red exes almost covering his entire map. Zim was exhausted and only began to know frustration and anger. Where could that puny little human have gone to. He was definitely still stuck on this miserable planet. But where. Zim felt hopeless, his fuel for vengeance and demand for violence was reaching its boiling point. Zim couldn't handle staying in that home, that constantly reminded him of it.

"You were never a real invader."
The words dug deep into Zims artificial heart. His eyes were wide with disbelief.

"M-my tallest!"-

"We aren't your tallest!"
They quickly shut him down, watching as he cowered to their voices. His antennas quivering behind him.

"P-please, Zim didn't mean for it to happen! It's not Zims fault!"
Zim pleaded, looking with his most genuine eyes to his tallests.

"It doesn't matter, because of your technology our weaponry is severely damaged. All you do is mess up."
The purple tallest glared down at Zim, only disgust and anger expressed on his face.

"Zim swears Zim wasn't the one to cause it! A stink of human hacked my system!"
Zim tried to get them to understand but they just turned their heads, their minds already made up.

"It's too late Zim, we are deleting you from our planet. You will no longer be able to come back. So enjoy Earth."
The tallests quickly ended the call, leaving Zim in the darkness, his head tilted downwards in shock. His robot assistant, Gir watched everything, feeling confused and worried.

"M-master?"
Gir asked, stepping closer to the cold alien. Reaching out his hand towards his shoulder.

"Fuck off!"
Zim shouted, slapping Girs hand away, making him whimper in fear. Zims face was mutilated into anger and loss of emotions. His claws cracked out, prepared to attack anything near him. His teeth colliding with each other, making a terribly loud screeching noise that even unsettled Gir who didn't attain any ears. Zims PAK suddenly opened his spiked legs protruding out and all facing towards Gir. Gir stood there shocked and scared. Never had seen his master like this before.

In one swift motion all PAK legs at once fell down onto Gir, with one piercing him another retracting back up before going back down again, ripping him to shreds before he could even make his last noise. Letting all the pieces tumble to the ground, the last remains that was able to withstand Zims attack. Zims chest puffed out, his breathing becoming unnatural as he looked down at the scraps of metal lying motionless.

Zim was still furious, his eyes moving to the next target, anything close to him. Zim looked up and saw the couch immediately aiming his spikes for it and crushing it into fluff and wood. Zim then moved to his fake parents, wrapping the PAK legs arounds their throats and ripping their heads off from their body. Once the heads were completely separated from the bodies he pierced their stomachs with his spikes watching all the cords and mechanics spill out.

After a few incisions, both the parents fell back, the light from their eyes fading into black and their body unresponsive. Zim finally retracted his PAK legs, feeling calmer now, as he looked around to see the damage he had caused. This still wasn't enough. He wanted revenge now. Zim excelled in joy watching his nemesis and ultimate destroyer of all his purpose quiver in fear as everyone- his own people, turned against. Left him isolated and alone. Zim made sure he would never enjoy life again, he wanted him to suffer just like him.

Zim left his home, seeing the sunny day, feeling the sun burn him through his long clothes. Everything was so frustrating. Zim could feel his PAK slowly break, he hadn't been taking much care of it. Especially with the computer broken and cracked too far to help. But Zim ignored it, forcing it out and hovering himself above the ground, Zim creaked towards Dibs old home. One he had visited many times in suspicious he retreated back home. But each time he looked inside all he saw was an empty room with an equally empty sister wondering the hallways.

Everytime he saw her she never looked like she had any sign of life. Like she was a spirit stuck between being dead and alive. Zim looked inside once again seeing a larger figure sitting inside Dibs room this time. He was slouched on the bed, facing away from Zim. He seemed to be looking down. Zim leaned further inside the room, looking over the mans shoulder to find him holding a photo. A photo with Dib in it as well as his sister.

Zim looked at the mans face, even with most of it covered he could tell he wasn't too happy. He was quiet, just brushing the photo with his thumb as he let out soft breaths, mixed with a couple sniffles. Zim decided to back away, moving away from the grieving man and out the window, quickly disappearing quickly somewhere away from all this. Zim went towards places he didn't recognise, just somewhere he wouldn't know anything. He ran and ran, destroying things he passed. Crushing cars that were too close to him or street lamps that towered over Zim, frustrating him more.

Zim used his PAK legs to crawl up a building reaching the top and just ran towards the end of this city, or town. Just this place, just away from this place was his goal. Zim sped away, reaching another line of trees, hiding the path through it. Zim ran right inside, going through it, passing probably millions of trees and bushes for miles. He didn't stop until he was out and somewhere else.

He ran and ran or pushed himself further using his PAK legs. Eventually seeing a clearing up ahead of him, showing a smaller town, with tinier buildings and tinier people.
