(Alright, Metro. Sorry for the wait on this. But here be my beginning to that RP you wanted to start with me. =3 Tell me if anything about it confuses you. And feel free to make suggestions also if you have any. ^^)
Summary: It has been 8 years since Zim first landed on Earth. The Irken Empire has taken over, and now only a small underground group of individuals have managed to escape their grasps to form what is now known as the Irken Empire’s only resistance. Having joined forces with the Resisty, Dib and a select few must now fight to take back what’s rightfully theirs. But like most things in life, it comes with a price. Will Dib be willing to pay the ultimate price just to save all those people who ever called him crazy and insane?
Chapter 1: Escape
Location: Earth-The Crazy House for Boys.
Time: 11:45 p.m.
Everything was dark save for the tiny bit of light coming through the small, barred window of the cell door belonging to a certain 19 year old teenager named Dib Membrane. The hallway lighting outside of his cell was dim, letting in very little light to see by, not that it made that much of a difference with those two Irken guards blocking most, if not all, of the light that tried to peak through the thick bars into the padded cell. Dib couldn’t say that it bothered him too much seeing as how his glasses had been taken away long ago. But what did bother him was his inability to move now thanks to the straight jacket he was confined to wear. While most people would come to the conclusion that he was crazy just from taking one look at him, that assumption couldn’t be farther from the truth.
In reality, Dib was a prisoner of war, confined by his own planet’s resources. He had been one of the last of Earth’s inhabitants to fall victim to the Irken Empire’s wrath. After all his years of trying to prevent the Irkens from taking control of his planet, he had failed due to a lack of resources and firepower. Of course that was to be expected considering his position in the human race. To everybody around him, he had always been the crazy kid nobody wanted to hang out with or even acknowledge. At least, that’s what he used to be right up until around the time of the Irken invasion.
Shortly after the Irken’s had moved in to take possession of Earth and all its inhabitants, every person who had ever called Dib insane soon came to realize that the very same one they had picked on and put down his entire life was now their last hope for freedom. Well, almost every person with the exception of a choice few who had been more prepared than the rest, his sister being one of them. Gaz had never been one to care much about the well being of anyone around her nor what happened to all of humanity in general. Always more focused on playing her video games than anything else, she preferred solitude to the distractions of life caused by all of those idiots surrounding her. Unlike her brother, she could care less about what the Irken’s did to their planet, though she never imagined Zim would actually be able to pull it off in the end. Hardly impressed with his accomplishment nonetheless, she had at first prepared herself a secret hideaway deep within the depths of her father’s lab at home that even he didn’t know about. Not one to run away and hide, she had really only done it for her own benefits.
The last thing she wanted to have to deal with was a bunch of idiotic aliens trying to abduct her while all she wanted was to be left alone to play her video games. If they wanted to destroy all humans or whatever they had planned to do upon arriving, that was just fine with her. She would stay out of their way just so long as they stayed out of hers. She had no intentions of trying to stop them whatsoever. And yet, Dib knew she would come for him, even as he sat within that cold and dark cell. Not out of love or compassion but for vengeance. Shortly after the Irkens’ arrival, they had swarmed their house and found Gaz’s secret hiding place. Thinking he was tough, one of the Irken guards in charge of imprisoning any and all humans he came across, went to grab Gaz by the arm while at the same time throwing her Game Slave II to the ground and smashing it under his boot just to laugh in her face.
That was a mistake he would soon regret. Underestimating his captive‘s strength, he never saw what was coming next. Body shaking with rage, Gaz clenched her hands into tight fists, ready to release her full wrath upon the bastard who had just destroyed the only possession she had ever truly cared for and every Irken like him. There would be absolutely no mercy towards him or any Irken who even dared to cross paths with her from that point on. Dib could still remember that day perfectly in his head.
He had only been 16 at the time and hadn’t known they had swarmed the house as he had been busy in the garage trying to fix Tak’s ship enough to make it into space so they could possibly escape and regroup. It hadn’t been until he had heard a multitude of inhuman screams from inside their house that he made a dash for the door to see exactly what was going on. The next sight to meet his eyes would forever effect the way he saw his sister. Bodies strewn across the ground, Gaz had been completely covered from head to toe in Irken blood. She had killed them. All of them and with her bare hands no less. It had been 3 years since that day and still Gaz held a grudge towards nearly every Irken in the Irken Empire. She had sworn on her life not to stop until every Irken had suffered the consequences of that one guard’s actions on that day.
Perhaps that was why she had been voted leader of Earth's resistance over he himself. Dib couldn't deny that her plans were flawless. If anything went wrong at all, it was often the consequence of somebody straying from the original plan. That was what had landed him here, in what was currently being used as the Irken Empire's most high security prison center, not that the guards saw any reason for him even being there. After his first week there, they had deemed him more insane than dangerous. But their leaders, the Tallest, had given them direct orders to keep the human under 24 hour surveilance, refusing to believe that somebody who had managed to evade capture for nearly 3 years now could honestly be as crazy as he seemed. A wise decision on the Irken Empire's part. Unfortunate for Earth's resistance however. But still, Dib never lost hope.
They had an ace in the hole, and he knew his escape from this place wouldn't be impossible. All that Earth's resistance needed was time. Time to map out the entire prison and come up with a plan. Already they had been at it for about 6 months now, not that Dib minded. When necessary, he could be patient, just so long as he knew SOMETHING was being done during that time. After all, it wasn't like he really had much else better to do.
Pressing his back firmly against the wall, he struggled for a moment to push himself up onto his feet. It was about time again for him to put on his usual daily act in order to keep up the farse the best he could that he was insane. Taking a few steps back, he then ran at the door to the cell, ramming his entire body and all his weight against it. "LET ME OUT OF HERE, YOU BASTARDS!" he screamed, stumbling back a few steps before charging the door again and again. Anything he could do to get the guards to let their guards down even a little would be worth the effort in the end.
"Quiet, you!" one of the two guards sneered, slamming his fist against the door to try and make Dib shut up.
In comparison to the majority of Irkens Dib had seen in his life, these two guards were rather large, clad in bulky armor and packing some of the more advanced weaponry the Irken Empire had to offer. Not even Zim had had access to such advanced technology. A small frown coming to his face, Dib scowled down at what he could see of the floor for a moment. Even just thinking about the Irken made his blood boil as he straightened himself out once more to continue slamming against the door, yelling profanities of all sorts at the two guards outside.
As usual, they merely ignored him, fairly used to this by now. They had received orders from another high up source not to lay a finger on the human, which left them feeling fairly confused. In most cases, it wasn't unheard of to beat the crazy out of other prisoners. But Dib was the exception. They had been told time and again the horrors they would face were they to even so much as touch the human in a threatening manner. So they merely left him be, every once in a while yelling back at him but otherwise making no other moves to silence him whatsoever.
Growing tired from the effort of throwing himself against the door over and over again, his usual strength not there due to a lack in nutrients, Dib stopped only after he heard the familiar rhythm of two pairs of footsteps making their way down the hall. Pressing his ear up against the padded door, he tried to hone in on them even more, scrambling back only after he was certain of who was coming. The majority of his other senses had been heightened due to a lack of sight and he had learned to tell the difference between the footsteps of the guards coming to swap positions and those footsteps that did not belong to the guards. Finding the spot where the light peeked into the room, he then repositioned himself just a little to the left of that spot, the only blind spot he knew of in the cell. His "visitor" and he would have at least SOME privacy there as he settled himself down to sit with his legs crossed as he waited.
Meanwhile, outside the cell, the two guards straightened up just as the owners of those footsteps reached the cell they were guarding. They saluted, wiggling their antennae and stepping aside to allow them access.
Zim nodded at the guards, wiggling his own antennae in salute before escorting another rather malnourished human into the cell with him. "Hello, filthy human." he addressed Dib in his usual high and mighty heir, glancing behind himself momentarily before releasing the cuffs shackled around the other human's wrists. Dib glared at the blurry green figure, waiting for him to leave already so he could get the news he had been waiting to receive all day. For the past four months, he had been permitted to see at least one other prisoner while confined there for an hour each day. It was about the only thing that kept him from screaming continually throughout the day and served as a staple for maintaining the other guards' sanity. Waiting patiently for Zim to finish releasing the other's arms, he noted what seemed to be a change in the Irken's usual hand movements and smirked. Looked like he was getting more than just his usual visit today.Watching closely as the older male moved in to take a seat behind him, squeezing up close in order to remain hidden in that blind spot, Zim then turned to head out of the room, saluting the guards one last time before leaving.
"So, what news have you got for me today, Mr. Dwicky?" Dib smirked, glancing back at the other dark-haired male in the cell with him before feeling the other slip a small piece of paper into his hands for later.
(Well, there's my beginning. Sorry it took me so long to get to you. But let me catch you up with what's basically going on in this scene. As mentioned before, Dib has been captured and Zim is secretly working for the resistance. The Empire doesn't realize this yet and so treat him as a successful invader. Because he conquered Earth, he has access to everything on that planet, including the prisons. Because he holds such a high rank in Irken society now, he's also able to make arrangements for Dib to see Dwicky each day while in the prison and Mr. Dwicky is already a part of the resistance. The only real difference between Dib and Dwicky is the fact that Dwicky voluntarily went undercover as a prisoner at the prison for the sake of leaking information to Dib about the resistance's plans to free him, which Zim in turn leaks to Dwicky each day. (Dwicky's in a less protected area of the prison) I wanted this scene to run along the assumption that the resistance (both Earth's and the Resisty's resistance) have finally charted out a plan to break Dib out of there and are planning on breaking him out that day. Dwicky's just there to warn him of that fact so he'll be ready when it happens. Also, for the record, Zim and Dib act pretty much like they still hate each other at this point in the story, even when though they're on the same side now. But at the same time, I thought it would be interesting if it were complicated by the fact that they HAVE already had sex once before and Zim just acts possessively of "his human" despite still acting like he hates him. So in short, a lot of the time, their arguments with each other end in sex. And as for where Dwicky plays into all of this, I thought Dib could have an attraction to him because he's actually nice to him and Zim could become jealous after Dib and Dwicky start spending TOO much time together. (They already flirt a little at this point from all the times Dwicky has come to visit Dib while in prison. Zim doesn't realize this yet though.) So the relationships between them kind of start out subtle and eventually grow to this point where Dib doesn't know WHO he wants to be with more. (Despite acting like he hates Zim, he's dealing with trying to figure out some of the other feelings he's developed for the Irken) I really hope this all makes sense to you. Sorry I kind of suck at explaining my ideas though. ^^
