Chapter 17 {UNDER REFERB}

  "We can't afford any mistakes." You nodded as Tix worked his magic on the computer. You looked up to find Zim walking down a long hallway determined to get what he was promised. "There he is!" You cried out a little too loudly by accident. Almost immediately after the guards came in with laser guns blazing. You grabbed the nearest metal circle thing that could possibly reflect but unfortunately you weren't quick enough to defend your comrade as he was shot directly in the ribs. "TIX!" You screeched before you lifted him up while grabbing your weapon for defense. "I can't do this I can't do this." You said cowering behind your shield tearing up.

  With all the courage you mustered you aimed and fired at the guard. However luck was on your side and it worked almost like a in Star Trek where it stunned them instead. Being defense proved to be quite challenging but sooner or later you got cover putting Tix against the wall. "Oh my god I'm-," you choked on your own words looking at his wound. This was all your fault. You couldn't do this, it was impossible-"Y/N..?" Tix said grabbing your hand weakly snapping you out of your regret. "I..I- I don't know if I'm going to make it..." His breathing became labored and you began freaking out. "Tix please I can't do this alone I'm going to die alone," you sobbed out loud holding his hand tighter. "You can...you have shown great strength for a human girl. You're stronger than you know." You could feel your heart drop as you saw his smile that seemed in vain.

"B-but what about going home..?" You croaked out silently looking down sadly. "There's nothing for me on Vort. Everyone I love is gone....To be honest Y/N...I'm glad I'm here. You made for very good company. Please don't ever change..." And his breathing stopped. Things were silent for a moment as you stared at his corpse and tried to process what your comrade had said. "Well...here I am I guess." You said getting up holding up your weapon nervously. This was a loss that would haunt you for the rest of your life you thought to yourself shaking intensely.

"What would Dib do?"
"What would Dib Do?"
......
"What would I do?"

  Then without thinking, your legs began to run to where Zim and Gir was from where you found them on the monitor. "ZIM!" You yelled out seeing him in your sights. He turned around and immediately looked disgusted. "Y/N?! What is your dirty human filth doing here?!" He yelled clenching his fists. "If you are here to stop my most evil and diabolical plan then it is too late. I REIGN SUPREME!" Your worried expression didn't shift as you continued to walk closer to him. "Zim, I'm not here to stop you. I'm here to save you! This place is a death trap. Please I'm begging you-,we have to go back." Zim's expression shifted from anger to amusement in a matter of seconds.

  "You, Saving Me? HA! I don't need saving from a puny human-," but before he could finish he heard a laser gun firing up behind him presumably aiming at him. "Oh." Before anything else happened you charged in front of him bringing the shield up defending the two of you while you fired back. "Zim we have to free the prisoners, the control room is back there and if we were to blow this place up we could give the prisoners a way to go to the escape pods. "Why would I do anything you say?" He spat making you grow more frustrated and anxious. "Because I'm the girl with a phaser gun and a plan." You said not so confidently but enough to get the message across. Zim growled making his way back to the control room with you.

  "O-okay, which one deactivate the doors?" You asked looking at him as he angrily typed in stuff in the computer. "There. They can escape themselves. Gir and I are leaving." Before you could argue you felt a sharp pain in your back and the sensation of electricity overrun your body. You let out a loud scream before passing out onto the floor back first. One of the guards had knocked you out with a electric staff device he was now armed with, which was new to say the least. Quick on his feet, Zim grabbed your phaser gun and fired back before pressing the self destruct button. "Come on Gir. We're going." Before Zim could go anywhere else, Gir started to scream loudly. "WHAT!?" He screamed back looking at Gir with impatience and anger. Gir began clutching your leg and screamed more until Zim snapped. "ENOOOUGH!" He looked down at your unconscious body and paused a bit. You did save him after all. This was weird though as no one had ever done that, only try to destroy him.

  Zim sighed, "Stupid Humans, getting involved in foreign affairs." He muttered carrying you back the Voot Cruiser before the place was blown to bits. As he started up the ship and escaped, quickly enough the structure blew up behind him, leaving no more lives to be enslaved. The prisoners had luckily all escaped and stared at the ship far away drifting off back to earth. They figured that was the one that had saved them, to which they rejoiced going back home after so long.

  You woke up feeling groggy, but the feeling soon passed as you jumped realizing you were in your own bed. Immediately you rushed to the window to see the sky filled with stars as if nothing ever happened. You checked the clock to see it was 7:00 pm and not late as you thought it was. Was it all a dream? You couldn't tell. That was until you found a small box on your desk with a strange symbol on the front. You opened it cautiously finding a necklace and a note. It was Tix's...the note simply read in scribbly letters, "Don't touch my stuff." You could tell it was from Zim.

A buzz came from your phone as you averted your attention from the box. Before anything you stored Tix's necklace somewhere safe before going to your phone to see what was up. It was a message from Dib that read:

"I'll be back tomorrow! Anything happen while I was gone?"

You could tell him about everything that happened with Tix, saving Zim and thousands of prisoners, but maybe Dib didn't have to know everything. You responded to his text smiling afterwards going off to hang out with your parents.

"Nope! Nothing all that much. See you tomorrow Dib."
