To Which Our Future Holds (A ZaDr Story)

Chapter 6

Zim sat in his voot cruiser and watched as birds flew around in the trees above him, they had gotten used to his presence long ago and would often dance above him in sweet patterns singing songs to one another in a strange kind of harmony that Zim had only ever seen on Earth of all places. "Why can't the stupid Earth rotate faster" Zim demanded to no one in particular,"Even if Gir was annoying, it was still nice to have someone to talk to" Zim thought as he remembered back to when he had his little robotic companion. "I get so lonely during the day..." Zim confessed out loud to the sounds of the birds within the forest. "I wish I could talk to the Dib" Zim muttered "But last time we spoke he made it clear that he never wanted to see me again" Zim looked down at the palm of his black leather glove, moving his claws around as if meticulously inspecting them "All this time Zim had hoped that the Dib was lying, but when I saw him with his mate, and the little Ash smeet. Zim just had to accept that it was true..."
Snapping out of his dreary mood like the flip of a switch Zim looked out the window "Eh, Zims Going for A walk." Standing up on the seat Zim yelled  "Ship! Go into stealth mode, And don't let any Earth beast see you."
"Yes Master" the Ship responded its voice still monotone and Strained "I'll be back" Zim muttered under his breath taking out his human disguise.

Zim's disguise consisted of a sleek glossy black wig that had been nicely brushed back aside from a single tuft that stuck up at the front with a white stripe across its center, and two large contact lenses that where supposed to make his eyes blue but due to the need of them to be translucent enough to see through, his magenta eyes caused the irises to come across as a rich violet color instead. With a satisfied nod Zim steped out of his voot cruiser onto the forest floor, the sounds and smells of the world now muffled due to the wig. He walked forward with light steps that seemed to dissappear before they where even there, silently striding out into the world in search of anything that could cure his boredom.

Zim eventually found himself at an odd park that seemed to be thrown in the middle of two buildings. A street stretched out in front of it, and another, less maintained, wooded area hid behind it. Zim sat in an old swing that creaked as it moved, despite moving no more to his weight then it did to the wind. "Why does this stupid thing not move for the Zim." He growled. Maintaing his pride Zim scoffed "Eh, it's not like Zim wanted it to move anyways" jumping off of the swing Zim folded his arms "This stupid Earth planet is boring." Glancing around Zim grinned and flexed his claws "Then how about I find something fun to do."

Zim stood tall and mighty casting a long dark shadow over his newly conquered city "You shall all bow down to your ruler Zim!" He called over his subjects as they scattered beneath him "Fear me or suffer greatly!" Zim laughed maniacally as the various beetles he managed to find skittered away, completely unbothered with the fearsome giant towering over them. "They Tremble!" Zim laughed into the sky before glancing down to find his tiny leaf huts completely abandoned. Zims mood seemed to drop "Why does my army leave me" Zim whimpered, heartbroken at the loss.
"Hey kid!" Zim turned his head to face the unfamiliar voice.
"Eh? Me?" Zim questioned looking over to a tall man in a old worn jacket and dark dirty jeans, and though Zim's anteni where hidden the wind allowed him to catch that his scent was not all that pleasant. "What do you want with Zim you smelly Earth beast?" Zim questioned, not too keen with making acquaintance. "What'cha doin out here all by yer'self kid?" The stranger asked snapping Zim into a sudden and chilling awareness that did not sit with him too well. "That's None Of  Your Concern Vile Earth Worm!" Zim spat.
"Oh but I think it is" the stranger chuckled, grinning under his breath. "Because if someone was to find ya out here by yer'self you'd be in allota trouble Kid" Zim felt himself freze in place as the stranger crept closer, casting a shadow that slid over Zim, just as his own had slid over the tiny beetles mere seconds ago.
"So why don-cha come with me Kid?" He spoke stretching a hand over to Zim's now trembling figure.

Zim felt his whole body tremble as the man stood above him his mind begging him to run, to move, to do something, but he couldn't. Zims eyes seemed to flicker, the man's shiluete became replaced with one of his leaders his voice doing the same "Come Here Zim" he seemed to call, his Voice echoeing that of his leaders commands, something in his mind told him to stand tall and listen but the other half begged him to Run, "Run Run Run run Run Run!" His thoughts began to scream in his mind, "That's Not your tallest! Run!" but he didn't move, he couldn't. Not as the man steped forward, not as he reached out a hand, not as he grinned with a sinister look in his eyes, Zim couldn't Run.
