When Dib looked out the door, he saw that the entire Resisty ship had just crash-landed next to Bitters' lair. The bit sticking through what had previously been the door turned out to be the main airlock. Said airlock creaked open, both halves of the entrance badly dented. And standing on the platform was—

"I don't believe it," Gaz deadpanned. "It's Zim."

"Prepare for some DOOM!" crowed Zim, leaping from the airlock like some sort of old-time action hero. "The wrath of the RESISTY is upon you all!"

Skoodge stumbled after, a giant, wicked-looking gun clutched in his hands. Tak and Lard Nar followed close behind with guns of their own. Gaz sighed sadly and watched their would-be rescuers become ensnared in traps similar to the one holding her.

"What a pathetic little display," cackled Bitters, stretching her long limbs. "I'm almost disappointed in you. I thought you'd have more fight in you."

"Don't be so sure we're down for the count," snickered Zim before Tak clamped a hand over his mouth.

"What are you talking about—" Bitters paled. "Oh."

Gir snuck up behind Gaz and unlocked her shackles before diving for Bitters.

"I WANNA MAKE WAFFLES!" he screeched, attaching himself to Bitters' head.

It screamed and flailed around wildly as Gir's cuteness worked like acid on its eyes. Gir, oblivious to the commotion, giggled and squealed something about bugs.

Gaz quickly took out the guards before releasing her comrades. Zim picked up his gun and aimed for Bitters, but it was moving around too much to get a good shot in. Skoodge attempted to pry Gir off of Bitters' face while Taxidermied and Scolex went off to deal with the reinforcements that were by now streaming into the room.

"FINISH HIM!" thundered Gir in a shockingly creepy voice, finally letting go of Bitters' head.

DIV and Rei fired cannons at the same time Zim, Tak, Tenn, and 777 fired their guns. A burst of plasma-intensified light blinded them for a second, and then a blast of pure energy engulfed the classroom.

a/n: is this the end? Huh? Huh? I don't think so. Bitters wouldn't die THAT easy.

But I needed something to post before I went to anime detour. So there you are. Cliffhangers! Woot.
