Invader Zim 》Not Just a Defect 《

Ch.27

With Tak

The female Irken stood over the sleeping Vortian, glaring down at him.

He ruined her chances at finally finding peace.

He destroyed the thing she was working so hard on.

HE'S the reason why she has been having dark thoughts lately.

She can't focus.

She must get rid of the distraction, and if that means killing someone, then so be it.

Tak looked down at the knife she found in the kitchen for when Gir would cook something and clutched it tightly in her hand.

She turned her purple eyes back down at the sleeping Vortian before her and raised the knife above her head, preparing to drive it down into his pathetic beating heart.

With Lard Nar

Lard Nar was sleeping peacefully, but something kept bugging him in the back of his head, as if something was telling him, screaming at him to wake up.

As if it were warning him that something bad is about to happen.

Lard Nar tried to ignore it, but it was too much.

It was literally screaming "WAKE UP!" at him.

Lard Nar scrunched his eyes tightly, stuffing his face into the pillow to try and ignore it, but it kept going.

The Vortian turned his head slightly after hearing a creak on one of the floor boards.

Curious to see if Zim had come back, the Vortian opened one of his eyes to see if it was the male Irken, but gasped when he saw the female Irken standing over him with a knife held over her head, about to strike him with it.

Lard Nar quickly jumped to the side and landed on the floor next to the sofa just in time, for Tak had driven the knife down quickly in an attempt to kill him with it.

Frustrated he had dodged her attempt in killing him, Tak looked over at him and growled.

"What are you thinking!? Why did you just try to kill me!?" demanded Lard Nar, glaring at Tak.

"YOU ruined my life. YOUR kind cloned me a new body after I died, bringing me back to life in this MISERABLE pathetic universe. YOU broke my holopad on PURPOSE! Do you know how LONG I've been working on that drawing! That was the only thing keeping me CALM by drowning myself in Earth music and adapting to a new hobby. I was SO close to completing it so I could show Tallest Purple that I can change, but NO! You TOOK my ONLY chance away, so now I'm gonna take away YOUR LIFE!" screamed Tak angrily, activating the lasers in her PAK and pointing them at the Vortian.

Lard Nar didn't have enough time to think when the lasers went off, shooting at him.

The Vortian quickly jumped off to the side, trying to dodge all of the lasers, but got hit with the last one. He grunted as he landed on his side, clutching his side just below the ribs. He removed his hand momentarily to see the damage and saw that the skin around the wound was burned and sizzling, stinging. It was also bleeding slightly, his blood being a dark neon green.

He gasped after seeing the state his wound was in and immediately covered it with his hand again, making sure to put as much pressure on it as possible to stop or slow down the bleeding.

Lard Nar may be a trained Vortian and the leader of the Resisty, but even he has to admit that he's scared of getting into a fight with an Invader, especially an angry Invader.

He's a lone Vortian with no one to help him.

He has no weapons and can only play defense by dodging any attack the female Irken throws at him.
