Accidental Portal Travel

Chapter Two

A banging on the front door interrupts the cartoons on the TV. Inside a robot dressed in a green dog costume was sitting on the couch watching the cartoons as he messily ate his tacos. The little robot walks towards the door, putting the top of his costume on his head. Opening the door he reveals a boy around the age of 15 with black scythe-like hair hanging in his face from the rain, as his clothes are soaked, dripping water off of him.

"Hey, Mary!" The robot's sharp loud voice cuts through the thunderstorm outside. The boy winces as he looks behind the robot for a certain green alien. 

"Hey Gir, where's Zim?" The scythe-haired boy asks. Lightning fills the air while up in the sky the moon glows red, lighting the sky in a red glow. 

"Master's sad right now. He's in his lab!" The robot exclaims as he lets the boy in from the rain. Saddens fills the little robot for a second till he goes back to his tacos, squealing in joy. The boy walks in determined to see the green-skinned alien. He presses a button on the wall opening a passage through the floor the little green alien had made two years ago when he got his growth spurt, making him too big for the old one. Going down into the lab he sees the green being looking at his computer screen of the sky outside. His face was full of confusion,  not knowing why the sky has suddenly turned red.

"Zim!" The boy yells out to the alien as he walks closer to the being, making the green-skinned alien look at him in surprise as he turns his chair around towards the boy. "I know you have something to do with this!" The boy declares as he walks toward the extraterrestrial. "Tell me what you are planning Zim!"

"The almighty Zim isn't planning anything filthy monkey." Zim exclaims as he looks at the boy in confusion. 

"I know you have something to do with the moon glowing red and the lightning storm outside." The boy points his finger at the alien, excusing Zim of being responsible for the weirdness outside. 

"Zim doesn't have time for you right now, Dib stink." The Irken waves the boy off as he looks back at his computer screen trying to get back to figuring out what caused this weird anomaly. Dib looks at Zim in anger before leaping towards Zim while shouting out. 

"I don't know what you're planning Zim but, I'll stop you!" Zim pushes the boy off him and stands up, wiping the dirt off his uniform as he looks in annoyance at the scythe-haired boy. 

"Zim isn't planning anything you Earthworm. Zim is trying to figure out what is going on." Zim tries to explain to Dib, the boy not believing the little alien. 

"Ya right Zim. I bet this is another way to take over the Earth isn't it?" Dib excuses Zim. The alien-looking at the boy in irritation. 

"Zim has told the filth Dib stink before, I'm not taking over the Earth anymore!" Zim proclaims as he looks at Dib in hatred that he doesn't believe him. 

Six months ago Zim had declared to Dib he wouldn't be taking over Earth anymore and instead be living among the human race. Not giving Dib a reason why the change has happened. Ever since Dib has been trying to prove Zim was lying and was just trying to get his guard down. 

"Sure, like I believe that Zim. Now tell me what you're doing! Why is the moon glowing red and the lightning strikes?!" Dib questions as he gets ready to fight the green being. 

A bright light appears in the middle of the lab, it grows bigger as a yellow and pink swirl around the bright light. the light opens up, revealing a night starry sky, or even a galaxy. The two beings look in surprise as they watch the portal open up. Dib looks at Zim in triumph. 

"I knew you were lying Zim! Are you bringing your Irken any here? To take over the Earth!? Or are you sending the Earth into another galaxy like last time? Huh!?" Dib demands the Irken invader to tell him what the portal was for. The alien wondered too, what the portal was doing in his laboratory. 

"I don't know what that portal is for, Dib Stink." The invader says calmly, but his voice is laced with worry that the portal has something to do with the Irken Armada. "It doesn't look Irken technology or any other species I know of." The green being walks over to his computer to see if he can run a test on the portal. The little robot in his dog onesie comes out of the elevator to see what all the noise was. He looks in awe at the large portal in the room. Dib noticed the alien was not in the spot he last saw him standing, looking around the room he see Zim at the computer.  Thinking that Zim was controlling the portal with his computer Dib rushes towards the Irken, tackling the alien down on the ground. 

"Oh no, you don't Zim!" Dib wrestles with the alien on the floor. Zim trying to get the human off of him. The both of them do not notice the portal flashing to a room with two blue glowing lights on the ground, rocky concrete walls, and a timer above four floating figures in the room. 

"Wow wee." The robot looks in amazement as he watches three of the figures float around fighting, not seeming to see them on the other side of the portal as another figure hangs on to what looks like a rod with a button on it. The portal flashes back to the night sky as the robot whines, upset to not see the room anymore before the portal flashes again as ten seconds go by, showing the room once again, making the robot squeal in joy. The portal now shows that the three figures are now up against the wall and the figure that was once hanging onto the rod is now floating up away from it. The two wrestling on the floor gets closer to the portal, not knowing what was happening in it. 

A bright light appears from the portal blinding the three. The portal flashes, again and again, showing the room and the night sky. The room now looks destroyed. The human and the alien get up near the portal watching the portal flash back and forth. 

"This is your doing and I know it, Zim. Just tell the truth! I will shut this down." Dib declares as he pushes the Irken into the portal by accident, falling forwards with the alien in another tackle. 

"Wait for me!" Gir wails as he runs and jumps into the portal behind the boys.
