The two groups slowly began walking towards each other, some were in awe, while others looked like they were about to cry. The joyous silence was broken when Gir began sprinting towards Zim.
"MAAAASTEERR!!!"
Gir screamed happily with tears in his eyes as he tackled Zim to the ground, hugging him as hard as he could.
"I missed you so much!! I was so worried about you, master!!" Gir began bawling as he hugged Zim even tighter.
"C-Can't... breathe...."
Gir immediately loosened his grip, giving Zim the chance to gasp for air.
As soon as Zim sat up, Heart rushed in and hugged him, much more gently then when Gir did it.
"I'm so glad, that you're alive..." She sniffled happily.
Zim seemed to be okay with being hugged. He even smiled.
"You must be Zim. Heart was telling me a lot about you." Ace said once she sat on front of Zim, startling him for a second, but seemed alright when she introduced herself. Dib had pretty much the same reaction when he and Hannah met for the first time.
"Hey, aren't you gonna see Dib?" Gir asked his master, who was holding onto his arm the whole time.
Zim glanced at Dib, who glanced back at him for a split second.
"Ah, he's fine. Enemies aren't supposed to be—"
Dib rushed over and threw his arms around Zim, leaving him in a bit of shock.
"—friendly...?"
"I hate you so much."
Dib choked out within his crying. Zim looked like he was about to push Dib away, but ended up hugging him back instead.
"You're so stupid, y'know that?" Zim muttered as he smiled.
Hannah walked up to Zac and bent down to his level.
"Thank you."
Zac nodded back with a smile.
"You all seemed to get here right on time, I kept myself busy, as you can see." Zac added, pointing out all the carnage scattered around the group.
"Uh, yeah. You were busy alright..." Heart shuddered as she took a closer look at a beast's chewed up heart.
"Not gonna lie, that tasted horrible." Zac added as he walked up to Heart.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Dib asked as Zim was taking a closer look at the beast blood that was splattered everywhere. He then took a vile tube from his Pak and scooped some blood into it.
"I better grab a sample or two for testing later. You never know when something like this may happen again." He replied as he closed the vile before putting it away.
Everyone was taken off guard when a sudden breath echoed throughout the air, making everyone uneasy. Because they all knew who was making it.
Zac suddenly began shaking, he was clearly terrified of what was coming. Before anyone could ask him what was wrong, he vanished.
A couple seconds after Zac disappeared, the dead forest, along with all the beast carnage, was consumed by a dark aura. Before everyone knew it, they were all inside some sort of dark labyrinth. Cracks were in the floor, and thorns were invasively growing on the walls.
"Well, that escalated quickly..." Dib said nervously.
"Oooh, she's probably veeeeery mad~!" Gir added anxiously, referring to Sinister.
"You're damn right!" A dark feminine voice hissed.
