Invader Zim: ROTF Part 2 (Old)

Isn't he dead?

Zac looked away as he shook his head.

"Dude, you're getting ahead of yourself. I'm not gonna hurt you, I was just asking why you were reading it."

Zim brought his crucifix down and sighed. "I found it in your Pak, which was buried in your ashes. I got curious, and the girls didn't know our native language, so I ended up translating it for them."

Zac nodded as if he understood Zim's reason.

"You know, I was expecting someone a lot more reckless than you to make a contract with her." Zac replied. Zim looked at him in confusion from that statement.

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Zim asked.

"Dude, you don't know what crap you got yourself into..." Zac pinched the part of his face where someone's nose would be, but Irkens don't have visible noses...

"I don't recall ever signing my life away on something. You're out of your mind!" Zim replied, sounding annoyed.

"You did it unintentionally. That's why, dummy." Zac answered, sounding just as irritated.

"No. You lie! YOU LIIIIEEEEEE!!!" Zim waves his arms in front of Zac as if he had claws.

"Do you remember what you did four months ago, Zim?" Zac asked.

"Yeah. So?"

"When you were calling upon the powers of that pet miniature moose you got, you clearly said that you were calling upon the forces of darkness to help you succeed in your plan by taking the Earth to another part of the universe. In other words, you were calling upon Sinister. She sensed the large amount of dark and negative energy in you already, so she knew that you were desperate for a special someone to notice you..."

"So, she's doing all this to us, 'cause my plan kinda failed?"

"No, if you were to succeed, and you somehow survived, the same thing would've happened."

Zim was silent for a moment, taking it all in.

"Yeah, you're right, I'm pretty screwed!" Zim said, sounding calm, but the look on his face said otherwise.

"Well, I can't do much about it, but I'll try to help you and your friends as best to my ability." Zac replied.

"Wait, t-they're still alive?!"

"Yea, trying to survive this death trap of a planet just like you." Zac replied.

"Um, y-yeah. Of course I knew that!" Zim replied after being left dumbfounded for a second.

"The quicker we act, the better. I gotta meet the others in their dreams too, before you can meet in person. Y'know?"

"But, I dunno where they are. They could be ANYWHERE!" Zim said with a bit of worry in his voice.

"Your magic charm thing is attracted to different types of energy, wether it's good or bad, you could tell where exactly it is." Zac replied. "I'll make you all sense where my presence is, allowing everyone to meet in that spot."

"Sounds good!" Zim replied in understanding. "Let's get to the bottom of this!"

Zac nodded and made a small grin, almost like a smirk. "Alright, I'll tell the others now. Good luck, Zim." With that Zac vanished into thin air, leaving Zim's dream.

"Now, I just need to wake myself up!" Zim told himself. He began thinking of something that he could use to bring himself out of the dream world, and got an idea.

"Since this is a dream, I can summon or do whatever I want!" He exclaimed. With that, he made a tall clown in white clothes with orange hair appear in front of him. The clown smiled creepily as he towered over Zim, before offering him a big red balloon.

"Want to float?" The clown asked in a freakish voice.

"GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I HATE CLOWNS!!!"

Zim woke up with a little yelp. He sat up, and sighed in relief that he was now awake. He looked over to see Hannah, who was still asleep. He got a little closer to her just to see if she might be dreaming because of Zac. She looked peaceful, so maybe he didn't get to her yet.

Just before Zim was about to move back, Hannah woke up with a shriek, and sweating. She sensed a presence behind her. Not knowing that it was Zim, she spun around, and slapped Zim right across the face out of fear. She wasn't sure who she hit until she heard Zim groaning in pain, making her realize what she just did.

"O-Oh gosh! Are you ok!? I didn't know it was you! I'm so sorry!" Hannah panicked for her friend. Zim turned to her, completely ignoring the slap mark on his face.

"You're awake too! Did Zac appear in your dream?" Zim asked, sounding as if he was trying his best not to lash out at Hannah for slapping him.

"Y-Yeah! He did! Did he visit you too?" Hannah asked, sounding surprised.

"Yeah! He told me that I made a contract of some kind, it's really weird..." Zim replied before explaining what Zac told him.

"Sinister killed him, that's how he died?" Hannah asked sadly. "We gotta find out what the heck's actually going on here, or you'll be in serious trouble!" She added nervously when referring to the contract.

"Before leaving, Zac told me that he would make our magic sense where he is. He's gonna try and reunite us!" Zim replied, giving Hannah a glimmer of hope. "My old friends may be gone, but I'm glad your's aren't." She replied with a smile.

Zim's charm began glowing brightly from inside his Pak, and Hannah felt Zac's presence too. "Let's go, Zim! Just hope that the others are alive!" Hannah exclaimed as she ran out of their hideout. Zim followed close behind, but not before transforming once again.

"I can feel it, he's this way!" Hannah said as she began sprinting to her left.

"We're gonna be back together! All because of Zac! Geez, we really gotta like, make him a cake or something. Oh wait, he's a ghost." She added with a laugh.
