Invader Zim - Lost Chronicles of Doom! - Continuous Novel

Chapter Thirty-Five - Foodcourtia

Nope, not the special chapter. Sowwie. No I'm not that sorry, sorry. Oh well. Enough said. (Btw I really don't feel creative today so just deal with the crappy chapter. JUST DEAL WITH IT.)

Though he'd only been in them for around an hour, the handcuffs seemed to bear into his green flesh. Zim glanced around at his surroundings: the walls were moldy and metallic, the cage was rusty, and pretty much everything was out-of-date and unkempt. He was thoroughly infuriated that he was gagged, tied up, caged, and de-weaponed, as if he was some sort of... CRIMINAL or something! What did Zim do wrong? Destroy the first ever Impending Doom? Cause two blackouts? Kill two Tallests? Heh, heh... Good times.

As he watched Sizz-Lor steer his ship with Lian by his side, he suddenly wished he would've joined Sam. That would've been better than having two broken ribs and a shattered arm bone from his monstrous fall.

"Count yourself lucky that you survived, Shim," Lian snapped, turning around to face the Invader's cage.

"How did you read my mind?" Zim wished he could ask, but the gag in his mouth made it sound something like, "Hrrr dookie meaend?" Lian laughed at the sour expression on Zim's face.

"We have mind readers set up, idiot. We aren't complete imbeciles like you are." Then the scientist, just to tease him, threw Zim a large slab of medium-rare steak covered in barbecue sauce. The meat landed on his chest and he screeched with pain. Sizz-Lor and Lian began to laugh and they both pulled a huge lever (made by the dumbest engineer ever) to land the ship.

"All right, Zim, time to take a visit to..." Sizz-Lor said, reaching in Zim's cage and ripping off the gag, "FOODCOURTIA!!!"

"AAAAAH!!! Waitaminute, you came back in a longer period of time than last time," Zim said, obviously trying to stall. Sizz-Lor merely rolled his eyes and dragged the cage onto a floating platform, steering it toward the door-hatch-thingy-ma-bobber. The hatch opened, and to Zim's horror, Foodcourtia was even bigger, more gross, and more ghetto than ever before. "No... Oh my Tallest, no..." he muttered as he wished he could shrink into nothingness. A large crowd had gathered, all carrying water balloons and such. Their sneers made him shiver.

"People and shoppers of Foodcourtia!" Lian announced, getting on top of Zim's cage. The floating platform sank an inch under his weight. "I am proud to announce that the hated Invader Shim has been captured once again!" The crowd murmured to each other in confusion. "Erm... Invader Shim? The one you hate? Shim!" the scientist tried.

"Zim!" Sizz-Lor said for Lian. "He's captured, and he'll never get out again, rest assured."

"Yes!" Lian cackled. "Now who wantz tah throw some food at Shim?" The crowd went wild, dozens of weird aliens jumping and cheering and straight up stabbing people in the chest with chaotic excitement. "Let it goooo, let it gooo!" he yelled, jumping up and down with glee now that his enemy was going to feel the much-needed pain.

"CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOORE!!!!!" a pale blue skinned Vortian with small yellow eyes yelled. Eventually the entire crowd was screaming, "I DON'T CAAARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAYYYY!!!" at the top of their lungs. Sizz-Lor and Lian exchanged unamused looks and began to desperately attempt to calm down the raging Frozen fangirls.

"SHATTUP!!" Lian screeched.

"Everyone calm down!" Sizz-Lor said.

It was no use, though. The crowd was mad with their love for that Earthling movie and they started to shake Zim's cage, rocking the platform dangerously. The Irken scooted back to the safe side of the cage, his eyes wide with either fear or just plain confusion. Now Sizz-Lor had no other option but to get on the cage, for the mob was closing in on all sides. The floating platform completely lost it and started making wheezing noises to stay in the air. "DO SOMESHING!!!" Lian yelled, leaping onto the Frylord's Pak. "DO SOMESHING OR I WILL RIP THIS OFF!!!" His fingers gripped the life-sustaining package and began to slowly tug.

"Argh! Fine!" Sizz-Lor snapped, chucking Lian off of him. The Scientist landed right on the edge of the cage and he struggled to pull himself up. Ignoring Lian's curses and calls for help, Sizz-Lor grabbed a laser and pointed it at the mob.

"FOR THE FREEDOM OF VORT!" the same Vortian who started the song craze yelled. It leaped onto the back of the floating platform, did a simple hack, and the platform sped off at around five hundred miles per hour. All three of the Irkens screamed and Sizz-Lor was knocked off his feet.

Lian strained his muscles and stood up on the cage top successfully. "AHA! IN YOUR PUNY FAISH, VORTIAN FILTH!" Then Sizz-Lor came rolling toward him, taken aback by the speed of the platform, and he knocked Lian onto the ground where both of them were attacked by angry and insane fangirl aliens.

That left Zim at the mercy of this strange, dangerous Vortian...
