Invader Zim 》Not Just a Defect 《

Ch.44

On the Massive 

The Heroes of Irk were standing nearby, watching as Purple spoke to the two Tallests. 

Zim turned to the Vortian beside him, curious to see how he survived being swallowed alive.

“So, how did you survive that giant worm? You know, after being swallowed alive?” asked Zim, looking at the Vortian.  

Lard Nar glanced over at Zim, but just shrugged. 

“Honestly, the same way Miyuki and Spork survived, but without being trapped in an infinite cocoon cryopod that kept them alive” said Lard Nar, recalling the shock he felt when discovering the two Tallests were still alive. 

Flashback 

Lard Nar started banging on the cocoon Miyuki was trapped in, trying to open and release the blue clad Tallest. He stopped when he heard the giant worm roar in pain before feeling it fall from high up place. Lard Nar felt the giant worm crashing to the ground before it went limb. 

He looked up and saw that the glowing white symbols were flickering slightly, but they refused to disappear. 

He didn’t even notice the long slimy tentacles slither towards him from behind. 

Lard Nar gasped and looked down, seeing the tentacles wrap around his legs. 

The Vortian was shocked and confused, but started panicking when the tentacles pulled him down and started dragging him towards the empty cocoon beside Spork’s. 

He tried to kick the tentacles off him, but more wrapped around his torso and arms, causing the Vortian to start panicking more. 

He looked at the symbol that had started glowing above the cocoon and saw it shifting through different silhouettes of different Earth animals before stopping at what appeared to be a mountain goat. 

Does this thing inject its prisoners with different animal DNA from EARTH!? Is this what that thing is doing to Tallest Miyuki and Spork!? 

Lard Nar started struggling more, not wanting to be this space worm’s third prisoner. 

The tentacles pulled him into the cocoon, keeping their hold on him. 

Lard Nar was barely able to do anything as the tentacles kept him trapped in the cocoon, a tentacles with a long sharp barb coming down, preparing to inject the DNA into his system. 

The Vortian then remembered that he had his jetpack on his back. It’s about the same size as an Irken PAK, only it was more squared. 

Lard Nar activated his jetpack, trying to use the momentum to break free from the tentacles. 

Eventually, the Vortian managed to break free right before the barbed tentacles could stab into his arm. Unfortunately, the momentum from the jetpack sent him crashing into Miyuki’s cocoon. 

Luckily, he managed to lower his head so his horns were able to ram into the cocoon instead of his face. 

Laying on the ground in pain, he quickly got up and saw that the tentacles were slithering their way towards him again, wanting to trap him in the cocoon and inject him with the DNA. 

He didn’t even notice the cocoon behind him cracking before breaking apart completely. 

The Vortian started backing away, reaching for the laser gun that was strapped to his belt, but jumped in shock when the tentacles were shot at by someone behind him.
