IZ - My old toy

In the lab Zim was typing stopless in the main computer, his large pink eyes glued on the screen.
He was so absorbed in his new project that didn't realize the room's air-conditioned was colder than usual.
"What are you doing?" Zephyr whispered near on his antenna, resulting in a quick yell from the Irken and a jump, scared.
Taking a deep breath Zim glared to the vampire. "What do you think I'm doing, smelly? A brilliant plan to take over THIS USELESS FFFFFILTHY PLANET and finally manage the glory and fame on Irk and respect from my beloved Tallest, declaring that I am the ALMIGHTY ZIM!" and made an exaggerated pose. "... as always ..."
One Zephyr's eye twitched...
Noticing it since the "smelly" word, the irken turned away quickly and continued typing, waiting nervously for the vampire's punishment.
But just what he heard was a boredom "Hmm...".
That caught Zim's attention. Usually Zephyr beats him until he drops.
The serenity of the boy gave a shiver down his spine.

"Hey, this is not that big-headed that you always are talking about alone?" Zephyr asked suddenly, pointing to the screen, a huge image of a big-head human's anatomy.
"YOU'RE LYING!!... and yes ...it's him ..."
"Didn't you say that the plan was to destroy the world?"
"Yes, but to destroy the planet I have to destroy this little worm-baby ..."
"... why?"
The sudden interest of the vampire got him. Zim, surprised, kept looking at the screen, not wanting to face those evil eyes adressed to him.
"Why? Haha, why?! He is my enemy, the only remaining obstacle to end the miserable life of humanity!"
"... But he's just a silly little boy ..."
"Yes ..." Zim clenched his teeth in rage "But he's the only one that threatens me to expose my secret identity" A little sigh came out from his mouth as he continued "So I have to stop him ... kill him if possible ..."
Then Zephyr laughed. That caught Zim by surprise.
"Why are you laughing?!" He turned his head angrily.
Then Zephyr came close, putting his hands on Zim's shoulders, dead's cheek touching alien's.
Then a cruel whisper fills the air.

"And what if I say I have killed him already?"

Zim stopped.
His eyes widened.
His mouth trembled.
Unintentionally his voice was hoarse and weak.
"... what?"
"What if I say I have killed him already?" he repeated patiently, with a smile on his face.

He was lying.

"Liar ..." murmured
"Hah, don't you believe me? So tell me ..." something from his pants' pocket has been taken by the vampire.
"Recognize this?"
Zim looked down.
In the Zephyr's pale hand there was an object.

Glasses.

He trembled slightly.
"I know ..." continued Zephyr "...That he never removes these, even to sleep ..."

He was lying.

Lying.

He had to be ...

But he was right ... Dib never removes... or better, "removed" his glasses.

The truth fell on his head like a bucket of cold water.
Zim made mention of moving away from the vampire, but he was quick, holding his shoulders tightly.

"WHAT ON IRK?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT? I WOULD KILL HIM!! IT HAD TO BE ME! ME!!"


Zim shouted like he had never shouted before.
To scare away the tears.

"Why?"
The mischievousness, the cruelty on that word made Zim stop frozen.
And before he could realize...

A horrible sound echoed in the empty lab.
Sound of flesh and metal being torn apart.
Being crossed.

Zim looked down at the hand of Zephyr.
Bloody.
Leaving from his own chest.

There was silence for a few seconds, broken only by the noise of short-circuit of the alien's PAK. It was giving small bumps on the arm of the vampire, but he didn't seem to care.

Zim threw up blood, coughing madly. Gasping, trying to get air.

Then Zephyr murmurs finally.


"Because I've got tired of playing with you."


His eyes were pure hate.

"You always go after this brat, always... you never fight me back more 'cause of my insults as before. So little by little my interest on you got over." he smiled, ironically like a pure child.

Zim was having a little quiet seizure. Blood soaking totally his shirt and his mouth, falling lightly to the ground.

He moved his lips trying to speak but it had no more air in his body.

"The old toy no longer interests me. I've grown up, Zimmeh."


Zim's eyes lost their glow.


"I don't need you anymore"


And with that he brutally pulled his own arm back from inside of Zim's body.


The toy fell on the floor, motionless.

Zephyr looked at the corpse for a few minutes.
Hours.

And, without mercy, without tears to share in the pool of blood, he walked away from the end of a macabre show.

He had grown up.
He didn't need more of childish and tattered dolls to bright his days.

It was what he expected for.

"Where are my glasses?" Dib asked himself when he woke up on his bed the next morning, after a good night's sleep.
