Tam raised an antenna and looked at Zim. ''And at first you wouldn't even help.'' She chuckled.

His antennae fell. "Well... err... that's... SILENCE!" he screamed.

''Fine.'' Tam chuckled.
''But now we gotta save Zo-e.'' She landed the ship onto the Resisty's ship.

''Keep your eyes open.''

In the ship...

Zo-e's hands were finally untied and she was playing rock paper scissors with the guard. "I win! Yay!" she said to the guard.

Her antennae suddenly raised. "I hear noises," she whispered.

"If they come, I won't fight, I promise," the guard whispered back.

"You're a good friend."

"Thank you."

Tam walked carefully through the ship and looked around, followed by Zim and Dib, who were just..... glaring at eachother.
''She's gotta be around here somewhere.'' She whispered.
She walked through a door and saw Zo-e sitting in the chair, untied this time. ''ZO-E!'' Then she saw the guard and backed away.

Zo-e's antennae shot up and she took off her blindfold. "They're here," she whispered to the guard.

"I'm afraid you still can't escape," he said. "There's cameras everywhere and they won't let you out alive. Lard Nar still has to threaten the Tallests. I'm sorry."

Her antennae dropped and she looked at the door. "Ugh."

Tam looked at Zo-e and the guard confused.
''Soo... uh... Imma just... take her with me and leave this ship unharmed? ^^;;'' She asked nervously.

"I'm afraid not. Lard Nar has the whole place rigged, nobody's getting out. He still has to make the threats and everything. I suggest you leave. Quickly. Before you're all stuck in here too."

''I ain't leavin without Zo-e.'' Tam said stubbornly, crossing her arms.

''Umm...'' Dib tapped her on the shoulder. ''I think we might wanna leave.''

Tam turned around and saw they were surrounded by guards, guns aimed at them.
''......too late.'' Dib said, slowly raising his arms at the guns.
''No s***.'' Tam replied.

"I fucking told you!" Zo-e screamed. "s***!"

Lard Nar walked in. "Well, if it isn't a poor attempt at a rescue," he said.

"f*** you!" Zo-e yelled.

"Gosh, okay!"

''Okay, I did what you asked for!'' Tam yelled. ''I came here, now gimme Zo-e!''

"That's cute, what you did there." Lard Nar said. "SHLOONKTAPOOXIS!"

"On it!"

The lights turned off for a split second, and afterwards, Tam was tied up. Zim and Dib however, disappeared mysteriously.

Tam blinked. ''What the- Oh for crying out loud!'' She struggled, trying to break free. But of course... it didn't work. Who'd have guessed?
''Should've known... you bastard.''

"Ha." he said. "Hahahaha."

"YOU SON OF A WHORE! I HOPE YOU BURN AND DIE IN HELL!"

He backed away from Zo-e. "Now, all we need to do is call the Tallests."

(controltheTallestsplzI'msolazyandtired)

''Geez, Zo-e.'' Tam snickered, but her eyes widened as soon as she saw the Tallests appear on the screen.

All of the Tallests eyes widened when they saw Zo-e and Tam tied up, and Lard Nar next to them, smiling evilly.

"Hello friends!" said Lard Nar.

"HII!" said Purple, waving crazily.

"Oh god are you the Resisty again? Just let them go so this can be over," said Red, annoyed.

(nowcontrollardnaryesI'mthatlazyplz)

''I'm afraid it's not that easy.'' Lard Nar said, an evil smile creeping across it's face.

''Can't you just skip the useless evilness and get to the point?'' Tam said, sounding uninterested.

Lard Nar's eye twitched. ''SHUT UP YOU!!'' He yelled at Tam. She snickered.
''Anyway...'' He turned back to the screen.

"Let them go, and stop wasting everybody's time," Eria said.

(lazyquickreply)

''That's right.'' Tam said.
''I SAID SHUT UP YOU!''
''Whoa, temper temper.'' Tam grinned.

"Fucking s***!"

"Aww, see, now you got her all angry and stuff!" Purple said.

''Listen!'' Lard Nar turned to the screen. ''If you want Tam and Zo-e back unharmed,'' He put emphasis on the last word, ''you have to stop with the slavery on all of your conquered planets. If you deny...... they will both be killed.'' He said.

Red stood up. "You're fucking kidding me, right?"

"Red!"

"No, no it's fine Eria. So what YOU'RE telling me, is that you will actually have the balls to kill my daughter and her friend, in a poor attempt to try and ruin the Irken tradition? I'd like to see you fucking try. Go ahead. Kill them. In front of me, right now."

Zo-e's eyes widened. "W-what?! Father!"

''What. The. Hell. Red!!'' Tam yelled at the screen. ''Your own daughter?!'' She looked at Zo-e.

Lard Nar smirked. ''So, basically, you wouldn't even care if I killed them both right in front of you?''

"You can't. And you know it. To do that in front of us would be the end of you."

"RED!" Eria shouted.

"What I want you to do, is make us sit here, grab a knife, and slice their antennae off. Can you do that?"

"Oh my gosh!" Zo-e screamed. "What the hell is going on in your head?!"

''Oh I can do that.'' Lard Narr said calmly. ''The question is whether you're sick enough to sit there and watch it.'' He looked at Red.
