I changed the cover!! And Dab reference is on the end of the chapter.
Chapter 8 : HE IS YOUR SON
RECAP
" So you really are the son of that alien freak. Both of you has the same amount of pride that no one could have. " the human said. I was confused. And that was a mistake, I have let my guard down. That I didn't saw the human about to kick my weapon the ground and kick it to the corner of the room behind him. I can't reach it but I know I am not strong enough to beat this guy yet. My training isn't done yet. I gritted my teeth as I panicked to think the best way to escape or just to turn the situation around again. I can't let him win!! Never!!
- DABOURUS POV -
I smirked making my opponent knitted their brows. Wondering, what can I do without a weapon. " You foolish human!! You're in my base!! So you won't expect the element of the unexpected!! " I pridefully shout and press the big red button making the human trap in a big metal cage.
I always wanted to ask mom why he install a button and a metal cage like that. But it does become useful!! The human even shock, he didn't expect that and grab on the metal bars while shouting " This cage won't keep me inside for too long!! When I get out of here, you'lo be forced to stand on the corner. " " You're not my Dad to tell me what to do!! " I said in anger.
" And you're the one in the cage. Not me. " I said mockingly. And fold my arms on my chest. Who this man think he is ? My Dad?! Pft- Nah.
" Do you really think I didn't come here prepared?! I know this base so well that I can draw the whole structure in a minute. You have underestimated me the son of Zim. " He said maliciously, while glaring at me with this wide evil smirk that villain usually have. So I stare at him in wide eyes. And throw an orange at him. " The name's Dab. "
" ... "
He stare at me in silent. Maybe orange is human weakness. So I throw another orange at him. " stop it. " he said . But I still throw orange at him to see how much orange should I throw at a human until they collapse. He does look annoyed the more orange I throw, the more angry he get.
He then searching something in his black coat and take out a gun like thing. And melt the metal and get out from the cage.
Uh- Oh...
So I quickly run away, completely forgot the function of my PAK legs. But I felt that my foot isn't in the ground anymore. The human got me-
- ZIM POV -
I don't know why but Dab always requesting something now. He is never like this. Zim little smeet always obedient and understanding little Irken. It must be the human tv show that ruin my son good character.
Zim already buy four big jars of honey for Dabourus and went straight back to the base. Zim opened the door. And my eyes turned into blood red after seeing the sight in front of me.
THE DIB IS IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AND GRAB DAB BY THE BACK OF HIS UNIFORM
Zim quickly rushed to them and snatch Dab from Dib and quickly put Dab behind me. My PAK metal legs then appeared as I slowly raise from the grown and glaring at the Dib-stink. " Leave Zim alone!! You smelly human!! " Zim shouted while maintaining my defense posture.
" I know you up to no good Zim!! You alien freak!! " Dib said and glare at Zim. Zim push Dab behind.
" Dab go to your chamber. "
" but mom- "
" go to your chamber Dab!! "
When I hear the sounds of small feet rushing back to another room.Zim finally can felt relief. This is our fight not Dab's. He doesn't deserve this. " He won't be safe after I defeat you Zim!! " Dib said and tackle me to the ground making my metal PAK aren't effective. I quickly punch his chin. Making Dib groan and fall back. Before he can stand up I quickly sit on his chest and hold him to the ground while my other arm keep punching his face. Not long after I got kick by the dib on the chest. " Tell me what's your evil plan Zim!! " the nerd said with blue and purple bruise on his face. " I don't have any plan Dib!! I retired!! " I shouted. ' Leave Zim alone!! Zim don't want to see you!! Zim don't want Dab to realize who you are!!! ' I thought in my mind hoping that this creature will leave soon.
" Like hell, I would believe you!! What's more important for you than world conquest?!! " Dib shouted with hate lingering in his tone. He glared at Zim. Zim is hurt inside. Zim doesn't want any of this. ' you always like this!! Never hearing Zim explanation and keep assuming the worst!! This is why Zim don't want Dabourus to know you!! ' Zim thought. I wish I could tell you and you won't kill me nor Dab.
' But that's only a dream, right? '
I take a deep breath, and finally say, " The most important thing to Zim? Is taking care of my smeet. World conquest, Earth And you? " I stare at him, and he is waiting for the rest of the words that I still have to say. " They doesn't matter to Zim anymore... Zim never thought of that anymore. Because Zim, has see those things as ashes. And those ashes already disappeared to who knows where few years ago. " Zim said.
" I- " " Zim isn't finish talking yet!! " I shouted in anger. " You trespass Zim base, destroying my property, and threatening me and kidnap Dabourus . And we both know you're the villain here. Not me DIB!! Face it Dib!! You're just thirst of attention!!! Can you just leave Zim and Dab alone?! " Zim shouted and throw a couch at him but he is lucky and dodge it.
" I won't leave you nor that thing alone, while you are still leeching on my planet earth!! " he shouted.
" how could you call Dab as a thing ?! " Zim shouted at him. " Why else? Who knows who gene that disgusting thing got. He may look like you but I know that's not how baby exist!! "
" HE IS YOUR SON!! "
Oh no...my eyes widened. Anger took the best of me and I spill out what I feared him to know. What if he is after Dab now? " He's- " I cut his sentences by press the hidden button that send Dib flying outside. " Computer!! External lock down " I shouted in panic!! All the window, and door then is locked and shut by a metal wall.
[ EXTERNAL LOCK DOWN IS COMPLETED ]
- DABOURUS POV -
Mom probably gonna kill that human . Aww, but I want to throw more oranges at him. Maybe I should just peak a tiny bit of what happen when I almost near the location I heard what mom said that make me shock .
" HE IS YOUR SON!! "
I quickly run back to my chamber and think about what I have heard. That is my Dad? But mom said Dad already dead since the day before I even born. Why did mom hide this fact from me? But mom will never harm me. Mom said he is a bad guy. It's must be true. My Dad is a bad guy, he is a weak human, he won't last long compare to our mortal age.
I should ask mom. Later that night, I was at the dining room eating spaghetti with Gir and mom. " Mom what does my Dad like to do before he died? " Mom look at me suspiciously. " why did you ask? " " I am curious "
" Your Dad is a nerd. Mr. I am always right even if I am wrong guy. Annoying, talk very loud. And I hate him. " Zim said and eat his meal casually. " Why we live in Earth mom? Is my Dad a human ? " I asked while staring at my mom curiously. Mom only stare at me with his half lid eyes. And said " You're too curious Dab. I will tell you when you grow up. " " but mooooom !! "
