Invader Zim 》Not Just a Defect 《

Ch.9

Zim groaned as he woke up in a dark room.

Looking around, he saw that he was in a small prison cell.

Zim looked at his PAK, which was luckily still on his back.

He sighed when he saw that he still had it.

He then started feeling angry at Dib.

He was going to hand him over to the Swollen Eyeball Network! He thought they were FRIENDS!

Zim scoffed.

Who was he kidding? This was DIB he was talking about.

No matter what, Dib was still Dib.

He was insane and crazy.

Zim sigh as he rested his back against the wall, sliding down until he was sitting, his head resting on his knees.

He didn't want to show the Tallests that he was weak by showing emotions, but it couldn't be helped anymore.

Zim felt the tears brimming his eyes as he sat there in the dark cell, all alone.

With Dib

Dib was walking home.

It had started raining sometime after Zim was kidnapped, and Dib couldn't even care less.

The streets were all wet and flooding.

Dib stopped and looked up.

He had made it home.

He walked up to the front door and entered his house, closing the door behind him.

Dib's father was standing in the living room, his arms crossed and his foot tapping against the floor in anger as he glared down at his son.

"Son, where have you been? You've been gone for FIVE hours! It's nearly midnight Dib" said Professor Membrane angrily.

"I'm sorry dad. I promise it won't happen again" said Dib sadly, looking down at the floor.

He walked past his father and up the stairs to his room.

Gaz just stood in the shadows, watching as he closed the door to his room.

She had witnessed everything that had happened.

She actually felt bad for Zim.

She silently opened the door to her brother's room and entered.

She watched as Dib sat on his bed, his back turned to his sister as he looked down at the pile of papers and blueprints he and Zim had been working so hard on.

She heard him sniffle and watched as he tried to wipe some stray tears away from behind his glasses.

"Hey" said Gaz, walking over to her brother.

Startled, Dib jumped a little and turned to see his sister.

"Oh, hey Gaz" said Dib sadly, turning back to the papers.

"What's wrong? Did you find Zim?" asked Gaz curiously.

"No....he-he was....h-he..." started Dib, but couldn't finish for he had started crying harder.

Gaz just stood there, staring at her brother as he let his emotions out.

It was kind of pathetic, but whatever it was is really bothering him.

"Z-Zim was taken by the I-Irken Invaders Gaz! I-I was helpless to stop them! A-And Tak i-is the new General a-and I don't know what to do! I-I shouldn't have said anything about Zim, b-but I saw the opportunity to s-stop the Tallests. I-I only meant for the Swollen Eyeballs to take him i-in and re-retrieve the information from his PAK, b-but that's all! I-I didn't mean for this to h-happen. I-I'M SO S-SORRY!!!!!" sobbed Dib miserably.
