Prison Escape Short Story

Uh okay so this is based on the scene in A Fresh Start, a sequel to The Final Truth, which are both fan stories I wrote a while ago.

This takes place after Zim breaks Bug out of prison.

Enjoy?

Loud alarms blared through the dark hallways of Judgementia. Such a sound was scary, especially after the planet was plunged into darkness for so long. But this was no time to contemplate the current state the planet was in. A prisoner was on the loose.

The yellow-eyed guard rushed down the hall, his tasing weapon in hand. Luckily, the goggles he wore helped him see where he was going, otherwise he’d get lost immediately. “Oh, I’m so dead,” he kept murmuring to himself as he tried to find the cell in particular. The cell of prisoner 284.

The guard suddenly froze in his tracks. Up ahead of him, there was a abundance of smoke blocking his view of what was going on. But it was obvious that those were the unconscious, most likely dead, bodies of his friends lying on the ground. He hastily ran over to one of them, flipping her body over to see what happened down here. There were laser marks that seemed to have penetrated through her armor and straight to her. The guard gasped in horror as he stood up. The smoke seemed to be clearing a little, and he could see the scene set before him.

There it was, prisoner 284’s cell. Only, it didn’t look like a cell anymore. Not like it really was in the first place. More of a dark, confined room with no way light could get through. But now, there was a huge hole in the wall that led immediately into it, as well as a similar hole in the wall a few rows down. And that hole led straight out of the building.

The Irken guard approached the cell, terrified yet relieved that it was empty. He’d heard that prisoner 284 was dangerous. After all, she had been the cause of the blackout. He walked into it, seeing a pile of ash on the floor where she should have been chained up. Certainly that wasn’t enough ash to have been her own incinerated body? Of course not. There had been witnesses of her escape. But... most of those witnesses were most likely dead.

He suddenly heard more footsteps behind him as more of his fellow guards came to investigate. He froze in place, suddenly worried that they’d blame HIM for all of this. It HAD been his turn to guard the cell, but he had been late due to a sudden repair he had to make to his ship. But he was suddenly grateful that he’d arrived late, as he had avoided the fate that others had to face.

But he didn’t matter right now. A voice from behind him shook him from his thoughts right away.

”Prisoner 284 is gone. Send out a fleet to search the surrounding area for any foreign vehicles. The Tallest specifically ordered for her execution, and we cannot let her get away with the ability to return and potentially cause harm to our leaders!”

That was the guard’s commander. He turned around and saw the small group that consisted of the commander and two other guards. A stern look was strewn across their faces, more serious than concerned, but still terrifying to the lower ranked Irken. He stood tall and saluted.

”Move aside, Pip.” The guard felt a shove on his shoulder. “Let the professionals handle this.”
