Time for Payback

From where we were last of. Dib's words did come true. As the next day rolled on, he entered his classroom. Everyone was there, including Zim sat at his single table. But he was looking rather edgy and suspicious.

"What's the matter, Zim? Did all that torture get to you too much?"

"Of course not! But beware, Dib. Soon you will feel my revenge!" Zim shrieked to the top of his voice as he stood on his table. The whole class stared at him. Even Ms.Bitters did and she did a loud growl and a faint hiss.

"Uhh... I am normal! Yep... I love everything that all we Human worm-babies do!" Zim announced in an innocent tone to everyone in the classroom whom seemed satisfied to Zim's words.

"Sit down, Zim. You too, Dib" both did as Ms.Bitters told them. Throughout the morning. Zim was still acting strange. Or unusual as Dib would put it. As their first break rolled on. Dib watched Zim wander from the crowded parts of the playground. Zim sat at a bench by the very corner of the grounds which was deserted. Dib walked upto him.

"All right, Zim. What are you planning to do? You've been edgy ever since, possibly this morning"

"It is none of your business, Dib. However, I would like to say well done on capturing me and doing your tickly-torture-thingie" Zim then got to his feet and looked at Dib who wasn't sure what to think. He stared ahead looking rather blank.

As Zim walked upto Dib, he pushed the top button on his PAK and pulled something out from it. He then stood by Dib's left side.

Dib then felt a sharp pain stab him in his left arm. "Ow! What the-?" he stared wide-eyed as he saw Zim pull a needle away from where he was shot with pain. "What have you put in me, Zim?!"

"Oh, just general anaesthetic. The same you Humans use to put others to sleep" Dib gawped at Zim as he now began to feel strange yet weak.

"N-no! Z... Zim... you j-jerk..." Dib collapsed flat on his back unconscious.

"Sleep, Dib. You're in for a surprise when you awake" Zim scooped Dib up as his PAK ejected four spider-like mechanical legs which he used to speed him on back to his base. When he finally arrived to the foot of his door, the spider legs retracted back into his PAK.

Zim, whom was still carrying the unconscious Dib, went down to the depths of his lab. There he laid Dib on a metal table and took his black jacket, blue t-shirt and boots off. He then strapped Dib's wrists and ankles down with lockable archs on the table.

"Computer! Scan the Dib. How is the anaesthetic in his body?"

"Scanning" the Computer blared for a couple of seconds. "He should wake up any moment. Or you could bring him round with a reviver which releases a strong smell to bring an unconscious person round"

"Computer, give me one, then" Zim demanded. A robotic hand lowered a small pink tube infront of Zim. Zim took it and broke the revivers lid and wafted the small tube under Dib's nose. After some continuous waves. Dib groaned a little as the revivers sweet, strong smell slowly brought him back to the conscious world.

"Uhh... Where am I?" Dib moaned wearly.

"Hello, Dib. Nice to have you conscious once again" Zim sniggered as he put the reviver away.

"What? Zim?! What happened to me?" Dib tried to move, but he couldn't. He looked to his sides to see his wrists were bound down and that we was topless. He then looked down to see his feet were bare and they were also locked in the metal archs.

"I merely put you to sleep and brought you here so you can receive my revenge" Zim's spider-mechanic legs sprouted out once more. He slowly approached upto Dib and sat himself by Dib's side.

"What're you going to do to me?" Dib asked rather nervously.

"Hm? Oh! Well, I'll be doing this!" Zim immediately began to scitter his fingers along Dib's sides.

"Wait! Hahahahahaa! Quit it, Z-Z-Zim! I mean ihihihihit!" Dib burst out in laughter.

"No. I don't think I will, yet. Your torture shall last longer" Zim smirked as he scittered his fingers up and down Dib's sides and along his stomach.

"C-c-cut it ouhohohout, Zim! Pluhehehehease! Hahahahaa!"

"Plea all you want, Dib. I'll take as long as I wish" Zim cackled as he now trailed his fingers above the sides of his hips.

"Bwaahahahahaa! No! Noohohohoo! Puhleeeeeease! Z-Zim! Stohohohopit!" Dib pleaded as he laughed harder.

"Your pleas will not make this end any quicker at all, Dib-beast"

After several minutes went by with Zim tickling Dib's torso he finally stopped, much to Dib's relief.

"Oh! Ohh! Damn it, Zim! You're d...done for when I-I g..get out of here!" Dib panted breathlessly. Zim just laughed to Dib's threats.

"Say all you want, Dib. Nothing scares me" just then Zim pressed a button under the table. Two robotic hands lowered from the ceiling and laid out stretched by Dib's sides.

"What're you doing, Zim?" but Zim just grinned at Dib. He then pushed the button on his PAK and brought out a small remote. Zim then stood by near Dib's bare feet. He then placed the remote by them and wriggled his fingers. Dib stared at Zim, his eyes wide open.

"No! Zim, please! Not my feet! I can't believe I'm going to say this... but I beg you. Please don't!"

"Hmm... nah. I'm going to continue" Zim then wriggled his fingers up and down Dib's soles.

"Noo! Ahhahahahaa! Noooo! Stahahahapit! Pluhehehease, not my feheheheet!" Zim just beamed. He then pressed a button on the remote infront of him. The robotic hands wriggled their fingers back and forth along Dib's sides. This made Dib laugh even louder.

"Bwahahahahaa! Ahhahahahaa! Nohohohooo! No, please stop, Zim! I'm beheheheging you!"

"I know you are, Dib. But your begging is music to me and I must continue to jig along with it" Zim cackled as he now stroked his fingers around Dib's heels then up and down his soles as the robotic hands continued to tickle Dib at his ribs. This continued for half an-hour and Dib was now exhausted.

"Please... Z-Zim. I c... can't take no more..." Dib puffed as he tried to catch his breath back. Zim didn't pay any attention. Everything began to go hazy for Dib. "I... can't... b-breathe. I think... I'm gonna-" but then Dib's eyes fell heavy and he blacked out. Zim finally looked up at Dib to see he was unconscious.

"Well, that's my revenge done with" Zim switched the robotic arms off making them retreat back up in the ceiling. He then unlocked the archs that bound Dib's wrists and ankles and put his t-shirt, jacket, trousers and boots back on.

Zim's PAK sprouted his spider mechanic legs out as he picked Dib up and carried him to his home. When Zim arrived to Dib's home he sneaked inside making sure no one could see nor hear him as he took Dib upto his bedroom. He laid Dib onto his bed and immediately left leaving no sign of his prescence at all.
