Invader Zim - Lost Chronicles of Doom! - Continuous Novel

Chapter Thirty - He Lives

Whoo back to updating!!! WOOOO!!! COME ON, PIG-SMELLIES, WOO WITH ZIMANDGIR!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

Upbeat music rattled his antennae, but part of Zim loved this very place: The Building. He didn't know what the heck was up with the name of that place, but his alien mind guessed that the humans were being dumb... again. And Tak; haha! So foolish, she is, to believe that when she was "dead" wasn't just a simulation. What a fool indeed.

"YO!" a man shouted to him from a motorcycle. The automobile stopped in front of him. "You watch ESPN?"

Digging his hands into his pockets casually--Zim had gotten new clothes and a new hairstyle before coming to an overcrowded party--he shrugged. "I guess so Ear--." The Irken forgot if he was to blend in he needed to stop calling people lots of names. No Earthling, dirt-pig, filthy... not even dookie-face! The whole thing was a misery, to act like everyone on that dirty planet was equal to him. The very thought of it made his squeedlyspooch tremble. Zim reminded himself once he got the answers he needed, he could return to Irk as a war prince. The Gargantis Array was so close he could smell it. But not really, if he could smell it, that'd be creepy....

"The Browns were good tonight, huh?" tha man asked. He was clearly insane; even Zim knew the team was horrible at doing their job. "Heh, yeah." And with that, he walked inside, a dignified, determined look spread out across his face.

"AAAAH!!!" they both screeched, twirling around and around in circles. The ruthless ship just kept shooting, on and on and on and on...! Tak would be grateful when it ended, when it all ended. "Ship! Get it together!!" Dib yelled, gripping onto her skeleton. So I'm a ship... and outer space... she thought. Then it hit her. She was her own ship! A separate piece of her incredible ship! But how? She never programmed it to take souls and keep them captive. A blue and gray object blurred past the ship-Irken's vision, a green and pink thing on top. Relief and pity and... hatred coursed through her as she recognized the object, angry that Zim betrayed her, but yet relieved that he had come back alive. Or... maybe she and Dib were dead...

Without thinking, she fired a laser at the gray object and it crashed into something huge, its gravity pulling the broken pieces of metal pulled together by gum. Zim's head stuck up from the rubble of the cyborg, his antennae high in the air. "Zim! Look out!" she tried to warn him. Too late, another laser fired from her guns, the red beam shooting as fast as the blink of a smeet's eye after ocular implant surgery. "Oof!" he grunted as it hit him straight on, red static whipping around him madly. Then it started to get weird...

"...is the dove never to reach the sea?" a young human voice said softly. "Um," Dib uttered. He pressed a button that made Tak zoom away, but the voice followed them everywhere. Soon there were multiple voices: "C'mon, Ilis!" "Dib Membrane, you insane kid!" "GUESS WHO, FOOLS?!" Tak felt Dib stir on the last voice. Her world turned into a monstrosity, the very depths of space swirling around her. The very last voice she heard was begging her to stay with someone.... She knew who that was.

The music inside was louder than he had expected, the vibrations nearly giving him a headache. "X's and O's, they haunt me," the stereo blared. For a radio station thing, they seem to know a lot about Zim... he thoughs suspiciously. It'd be better if he just stayed away. But he needed those jump codes. "In time... I'll get those codes in time."
