INVADER ZIM
"BATTLE FOR MEEKROB"
PART
2 OF 2
Ext. Resisty camp
The mechs march towards some encampments holding Dib.
DIB
Maybe we could just talk this over…? I’m not even sure what’s going on!
The mechs reach the main tent. The mech holding Dib peaks inside and opens up. Inside is a little counsel of some of the Resisty aliens.
RESISTY ALIEN 1
We caught a scout for ya!
LARD NAR
Bring him here!
The mech hurls Dib inside. He crashes into the blobish resisty member and gets vomit all over him.
DIB
Eeeewwww….
The mechs leave.
LARD NAR
I’ve never seen your species. State your business.
DIB
Um, my name is Dib. I come from the planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy. This army… it’s against the Irkens, isn’t it?
RESISTY MEMBER
That is correct.
DIB
Oh man! This is fantastic! Anything I can do to help, I’m here!
LARD NAR
Earth you say, eh? (to Spleenk) Add ‘Planet Earth: home of the large headed people’ to the list. (to Dib) Glad to have another aligned to our cause! I am Captain Lard Nar, and this is the Resisty! We are sworn to fight the Irken machine to the DEATH!
DIB
Now this, THIS is my lucky day! Oh, that Zim’s gonna weep when he sees I’ve got a whole army backing me! So… what’s up?
SMIKKA SMIKKA SMOODOO
We are preparing for war. You came just in time. The Irken Armada regrouping nearby. They plan to swarm us!
DIB
Check! Now… what are you guys gonna do about it?
The aliens glance at each other.
LARD NAR
We’ve got ourselves a good opening punch to get them on the ground with us.
DIB
Gotcha. And then?
RESISTY ALIEN
And… then…?
DIB
Yeah, once you’ve got them out of the skies, how do you plan to deal with their ground troops?
SPLEENK
Ooh, I know! Let’s burn their flags and boycott their snack foods!
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS (with a mouthful of Irken chips)
Aw, maaan!
DIB
Wait a minute! So you guys are going up against what is quite possibly the largest fighting force in the Universe… without a plan!?!
SPLEENK
I just gave you a plan.
DIB
That’s not a plan! YOU’RE ALL CRAZY! Okay… maybe we can still try and salvage this whole idea, but it’ll take some quick thinking!
Dib and the Resisty form a huddle.
Ext. Meekrob forest
Zim is still at the cliff edge with all his weaponry. He has his binocular helmet on and is aiming his death wave cannon at the Resisty headquarters tent.
ZIM
Unbelievable! Look at them, GIR! Walking around like they own the place! Hundreds of alien species toil for the Irken race for their entire lives, and yet that isn’t good enough for these rebels! They should be happy the Irken Empire even keeps them alive! What do they want, a steady pay? It’s always more, more, more! Are they ever satisfied? (aiming) Almost… almost…
Zim is locked on target.
ZIM
There!
CANNON COMPUTER
Fully charged and awaiting command!
ZIM
Time to say goodbye to your little futile attempt at Resistying!
GIR
It’s my turn!
GIR starts pulling on Zim.
ZIM
What are you doing, GIR!?!
GIR
You’ve had enough time, now I wanna play!
ZIM
No, GIR! No!
While trying to pull Zim away, GIR steps all over the place, pushing down various levers and pressing various buttons with his feet. The cannon nozzle drops down so that it points at the ground under them. The blast goes off and the ground bellow is destroyed, sending them tumbling down the cliff face. Zim screams and GIR cheers gleefully. They eventually hit the bottom, but by that time, all of Zim’s weapons are destroyed.
GIR
I won! I get the secret prize inside!
ZIM (holding back immense rage)
Now GIR… why did you have to do that?
SKOODGE (from a distance)
Hey Zim! It’s me!
ZIM
Skooooodge?
Skoodge runs up to Zim. He looks very badly beaten.
SKOODGE
Boy, am I glad to see you! I thought I’d never escape those horrible Meekrobs! They were right on my tail, ya see, and then-
ZIM (interrupting)
Skoodge…
SKOODGE (ignoring Zim)
-I did the most amazing thing ever in my-
ZIM
Skoodge!
SKOODGE (still going)
-entire
career as an Invader! Though I was surrounded, I managed to-
ZIM
SKOOODGE!
Skoodge
shuts up.
ZIM
Nobody
cares! No one wants to hear about your little Skoodge adventures!
GIR
I
wanna hear the story…
ZIM
Hehe,
no GIR. You don’t.
GIR
Oh.
ZIM
Well,
it was nice seeing you, Skoodge, but I have a mission to complete!
SKOODGE
Hey!
I can help with that!
ZIM
NOOOO!
This is a secret no-Skoodges mission for Zims alone!
SKOODGE
Oh,
okay. I’ll see ya around!
Zim
marches off with GIR following. Skoodge lingers and checks out some of the
weapon wreckage. He picks up a bashed up drill arm claw thing.
SKOODGE
Hmmmmm…
Maybe I could… maybe… MAYBE! YEAH, I GUESS I COULD DO THAT!
Ext.
Space
The Irken Fleet has gathered near planet Meekrob.
Int. The Massive
PURPLE
Okay, so what exactly are we waiting for again?
RED
The fleet isn’t all here yet. They’re coming from every corner of the Empire; we can’t expect this to be quick.
PURPLE
Why does the fleet have to be so spread out? I’m getting tired of this!
RED
Would you quit your whining? Once the Armada is all here, the Resisty won’t stand a chance!
PURPLE
They don’t stand a chance against any of our Armada! Which is why we should just attack now! (to an officer) Put their camp on the main view screen!
The officer does this, and the Tallest see the scarce army in the camp as well as the hidden army in the forest.
RED
Wow! That’s pathetic! Look at their horribly obvious hiding places!
PURPLE
Come on! Let’s just squash ‘em now! Forget the rest of the fleet!
RED
Can you believe how worried we were earlier? It’s laughable! I mean, we, the Almighty Tallest, rulers of the most powerful race in the UNIVERSE, scared of some insubstantial uprising!
PURPLE
Yeah,
who woulda thunk it. (to officers) Now, let’s get a round of snacks up here!
Ext. Resisty encampment
Most of the mech army is gone, hiding in the forest. Various aliens carry around large pieces of glass.
LARD NAR
Okay, is everything in place? Good, good! Let’s just hope everything works as well as planned, this is kind of a big risk.
SHMIKKA SHMIKKA SMOODOO (running out of a tent)
Sir! They’ve begun their approach!
LARD NAR
So it begins.
SPLEENK
It’s about time, this was getting kinda boring…
Int. Meekrob Forest
Many of the mechs wait in the cover of the woods. Suddenly, Tak’s ship rockets out of the forest.
Int. Tak’s ship- cockpit
Dib and Shloonktapooxis sit in the cockpit.
DIB
Here we go!
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS (disappointed)
I wanna be in a death robot…
Ext. Meekrob- space
Tak’s ship flies into space, away from the oncoming Irken Armada.
Int. Random Irken Vessel
The Tallest appear on a large view screen giving a message that all the Irken ships are receiving simultaneously.
RED
There she is, folks! Planet Meekrob!
PURPLE
Yeah! Now blow ‘er up!
The deck crews get into a working frenzy, pressing buttons left and right.
RED
Concentrate all fire on the Resisty Headquarters!
Ext. Space, above Meekrob
The Armada hovers above the planet just out of reach of its atmosphere. A glow comes from the fleet as they all charge their weapons at the same time. A huge mass of lasers shoots down onto the planet, focusing on one point: the Resisty. As soon as contact is made, the beams are suddenly reflected back into space, destroying many ships.
Ext. Resisty encampment
Aliens pry open huge containment cube packages labeled ‘FROM: Planet of the Broken Glass.’ They take out the large mirror shards and hold them over their heads. All of the tents and structures have mirrors carelessly lain over the tops.
LARD NAR
More mirrors! More glass! Bring it here!
Lard Nar motions to an empty spot on a roof. Some aliens put a slab of glass over it. A laser hits one of the aliens, as he no longer has glass to cover himself.
Int. Forest
Valvus stands at his death weapons, scratching his head and trying to figure them out. A laser is reflected into the forest and hits Valvus.
Int. The Massive
Red and Purple watch the view screen, which shows their ships getting hit by the reflected lasers. Red is speechless. Purple is angry.
OFFICER
My Tallest! Request permission to cease-fire!
PURPLE
Hold up a second.
OFFICER
Sir! We’re loosing ships fast!
PURPLE
Give it a minute!
OFFICER
SIR! We’re shooting OURSELVES!
PURPLE
FINE! Stop with the shooting!
OFFICER (into intercom thingy)
CEASE-FIRE!
PURPLE
Happy now?
RED
Those Meekrob… they must’ve formed some kind of super energy field! This wasn’t supposed to happen! Bad things don’t happen to the Irkens! The Tallest’s plans DON’T FAIL!!!
PURPLE
Get a hold on yourself, man! This is just a snag! We’ll get ‘em on the ground!
Ext. Meekrob- space
Huge spacecraft carrying ground troops approach Meekrob.
Ext. Resisty Camp
Lard Nar looks out from under his mirror slab.
LARD NAR
Success! We’ve matched their strength with wits!
RESISTY ALIEN
Duuuh… I’ll say!
RESISTY
ALIEN 2
They’ll
be on the ground soon!
LARD
NAR
To
the forest! Now our fate is in the hands of that bigheaded child.
Ext.
SPACE
Tak’s
ship flies in space, veering left and right at random times. Dib follows
Shloonktapooxis’ directions
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
Turn
left here! Now right! Right! Wait, that was supposed to be a left! Turn around!
No, wait, it was a right!
DIB
(getting impatient)
Arg!
SLOW DOWN! Do you even know what you’re talking about!?!
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
…no.
DIB
Well,
we’re lost! Thanks to you…
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
Welcome!
DIB
Is
there some kinda map in here?
ONBOARD
COMPUTER
Accessing
galactic map! (holographic map appears) State desired destination.
DIB
Perfect!

Perfect not found…
DIB
(to Shloonktapooxis)
Er,
what was it?
ONBOARD

Planet Wutwassit…
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
Oh
yeah! Outpost IGBN!
ONBOARD
COMPUTER
Nearest
IGBN Outpost located in the Plarg Sector.
DIB
Uh,
great! I guess… Computer! Take us there!
ONBOARD
COMPUTER
Right.
Ext.
Meekrob Forest
An
Irken convoy ship lowers to the ground. Ground troops exit parked ships.
Frontline BattleMechs, Maim Bots, and Plasma-armed Battle Tanks patrol the area.
The hatch to a Plasma-armed Tank opens and Sgt. Hobo 678 sticks his head out. He
now has even more mechanical parts.
678
Okay,
soldiers! You know the drill! Form a parameter around the resistance forces and
then move in! We’ll crush those phlegm-toting Gasqueegasplorches!
The
tanks and mechs go off to encircle the encampment. Zim hops onto one of the
Plasma-armed tanks. He knocks on the hatch until an Irken officer pops out.
ZIM
Hey!
Gimme this tank! I’m an Invader!
Before
he can respond, Zim pulls him out of the tank and tosses him at a tree. He hits
his head and gets knocked out. Zim hops into the tank, followed by GIR.
Int.
Plasma-armed Battle Tank
ZIM
(to the officers in the tank)
It’s
your lucky day, ‘cause this tank is now under the command of Invader ZIM!
The
officers shrug.
OFFICER
(whispering)
Hey…
Isn’t that guy a defective?
ZIM
(having overheard)
TREASON!
That guy’s with the Resisty! GIR! Eat him slowly starting with his smallest
toe.
GIR
It’s
my lucky day!
The
officer runs around the inside of the tank, screaming, as GIR chases him.
ZIM
Now
we march!
The
rest of the officers give each other glances.
ZIM
I
said MARCH!
Ext.
Meekrob forest
The
tank lurches forward into the forest. The officer regains consciousness and
begins chasing after his tank.
Int.
IGBN Outpost hanger
Tak’s
ship is parked in the hanger. Sorbic, a worker for the news outpost, walks up to
Dib and Shloonktapooxis.
SORBIC
Welcome
to Outpost #8731, home of one of the many signals broadcasted by InterGalactic
Breaking News- where the Universe gets its news!
DIB
Hi
there. We’ve got something that needs to be aired-
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
And
it’s AWESOME!
DIB
Yeah…
It’s a huge story, something the UNIVERSE needs to know!
SORBIC
Thanks
for choosing IGBN! Please fill out a form and I’ll transfer it to the outpost
manager. He’ll review the content and deem whether or not it is worthy for
airtime and then it’ll appear on the broadcasting waves sometime within the
next month.
DIB
You
don’t understand! This is very important! People need to see this right now!
SORBIC
Look
kid, I can’t do that! It’s against our policy. Here’s one of our forms (Sorbic
hands Dib the form). Be sure and put me down under the ‘employee help’ box.
My name’s Sorbic, employee code 375.
DIB
Uh,
listen…. Sorbic… Many lives are at stake! This footage could help bring down
the Irken Empire if aired-
SORBIC
No
can do, kid. I could get demoted if I- Did you say ‘bring down the Irken
Empire’!?!
Dib
nods.
SORBIC
Is
your tape ready? I’ve been hoping for a way to help crush those horrible
insectoids since they conquered my planet and sent my people to work at this
stupid news station! Come with me!
Int.
IGBN Outpost- Broadcast room
Sorbic
leads Dib and Shloonktapooxis into a dark room full of view screens displaying
breaking news messages.
SORBIC
What’ve
you got for me?
DIB
A
tape that shows the leader of a resistance force declaring war on the Irkens.
SORBIC
Sounds
great! Now… where’s the tape?
Dib
glances around and then gives a worried look. Shloonktapooxis starts to cough.
Suddenly, he hurls up a camcorder.
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
There
ya go.
Dib
laughs sheepishly as he wipes the camcorder with his shirtsleeve. Sorbic sighs
and takes the camcorder. He removes the tape and sticks it into a slot on the
wall.
SORBIC
This
here is the master control feed. Everyone within range of our signal will be
seeing this, and a chain reaction starts when the signal reaches more news
outposts. The whole galaxy’ll be watching this within a few minutes, I’d
say!
DIB
Haha!
Beat that, Zim!
Sorbic
pulls the master control feed lever.
Int.
Hobo 678’s Plasma-armed Battle Tank
Hobo
678 talks to the Tallest through a view screen.
678
My
men are in position!
RED
Good,
sergeant! Make your moooooo-
The
transmission switches to the tape of Lard Nar.
LARD
NAR
Enemies
of the Irken Empire! Now is your chance to strike for revenge!
678
Huh!?!
What do those squad-doogies think they’re doing!?!
Int.
The Massive
The
Tallest also watch Lard Nar. The resisty army is visible behind him.
LARD
NAR
I
have amassed an army on the Ploof system planet of Meekrob where we are striking
our death blows to the Irken Armada as you watch this recording!
PURPLE
Death
blows? I don’t see any deathblows! I’m fine!
RED
Cut
the transmission! (the feed stops) What was that supposed to be?
PURPLE
Yeah!
That little Vortian guy already talked to us earlier!
RED
I’ve
got a bad feeling about that feed…
Int.
Hobo 678’s Plasma-armed Battle Tank
678 continues to watch the transmission.
LARD
NAR
…And
together we can bring an end to the tyranny of the Irken Empire this day! Uh,
there’ll be free snack foooo-
An
earthquake rocks 678’s tank, cutting off the transmission.
678
What
was that!?!
OFFICER
Major
activity in the forest, sir! Explosions maaaan!
OFFICER
2
Sergeant!
Plasma-armed Battle Tank #8 isn’t responding to any command signals!
678
Get
its commander on the main view screen!
Zim’s
face appears on the view screen.
ZIM
My
former trainer! Watch me use my skills as a soldier to conquer the resistance
forces myself! Here I go!
678
What
are you doing here, Zim? I had hoped never to see your hideous face again!
ZIM
Jokes
aside, I am here on a mission from the Almighty Tallest themselves. Now, if
you’ll excuse me, I have some filthy alien beast-nuggets to squash!
The
transmission ends.
678
Grrr!
Change of plans, since Zim’s screwed everything up! We’re gonna rush ‘em
with everything we’ve got!
Int.
Forest
Zim’s
tank randomly fires at everything in sight. The Resisty mechs scatter to avoid
the gunfire.
Int.
Zim’s tank
GIR
sits at the gun controls, laughing insanely.
OFFICER
(to Zim)
Uh,
sir, maybe if you let one of us man the guns we’d actually hit something.
GIR
I’m
hitting ALL SORTS of things!
ZIM
Stop
with the talking! Just destroy! DESTROY!
Int.
Forest
Complete
chaos starts as the Irken forces move in. The Resisty mechs hold their ground
for a while, combating the Irken death machines. Meekrob in the form of mallets
bash of the Irkens.
Int.
Meekrob Temple- Prison cell
The
cell shakes.
ZEE
Something’s
going on out there!
GOOCH
ARRRRRGGG!
I wanna blow something up so BAAAAD! We gotta get outta this place!
FLOBEE
Hmmm…
IDEA! It’s crazy enough to work!
Flobee
runs into the energy field again. Suddenly, a drill pops through the floor.
Skoodge crawls through the hole made by the drill.
SKOODGE
Hey,
guys! I’m rescuin’ ya!
ALL
SKOODGE!!!
LARB
Outstanding
job!
SNEAKYONFOOTA
I
knew ya could do it!
TIM
Invader
Skoodge ROCKS!
The
invaders enter the hole.
SKOODGE
Wow,
thanks everyone! Ya know, I almost didn’t make it here. I went in the wrong
direction a couple of times, and then I ran into some sort of underground
hostile civilization that wanted to sacrifice my organs in some sort of
ritualistic-
TENN
No
one really cares, Skoodge! Just get in the hole!
Tenn
kicks Skoodge into the hole and then follows into it.
Int.
Meekrob Forest
The
Irkens surround the Resisty and swarm them.
RESISTY
ALIEN 1 (in a mech)
There’s
too many of them! We’re falling apart here!
LARD
NAR (in a mech)
Where
is that human!?!
RESISTY
ALIEN 2 (in a mech)
We
can’t hold out much longer!
Lard
Nar sighs.
LARD
NAR
Retreat!
Through their ranks!
All
of the Meekrob swarm a few tanks on one side, causing them to short out. The
Resisty crawl over the tanks and escape into the plains.
Int.
678’s tank
678
Victory!
They won’t last much longer!
An
Irken soldier appears on 678’s transmission screen. He is transmitting from
the now empty Resisty encampment.
SOLDIER
Sir!
We’ve stormed their makeshift village and found nothing of much concern.
However, there is
one thing of interest.
The
soldier holds up a mirror shard.
678
Hmmm…
Int.

OFFICER
Transmission
from the planet.
Hobo
678 appears on the screen.
678
Sirs!
The battle goes well!
Red
and Purple let out a long sigh.
RED
That’s
a relief.
678
After
raiding their village, we found that they used the powerful mirrors of the
Planet of Broken Glass to shield themselves. They’ve been driven out of the
forest and are now on the run-
PURPLE
Wait
a second… Did you say mirrors? Didn’t we recently place a huge order of
mirrors from that place?
RED
Our new reflective palace on Irk! They’re using OUR mirrors!
PURPLE
They
duped us! You’re not supposed to mess with the Almighty Tallest like that! Am
I right?
678
They’ll
soon get what’s coming to them! We’re planning an advance on them to-
RED
No
need! They don’t have their mirrors-
PURPLE
OUR
mirrors!
RED
They
don’t have… our mirrors to protect them now! We’re going to give them an organic
sweeping that makes Blorch’s look like a… not… so… severe… sweeping!
Ext.
Meekrob plains
The
Resisty forces watch outside of their mechs as Irken ships enter the atmosphere.
The sky is full with a good portion of the Irken Armada.
SPLEENK
This
doesn’t look so good.
SMIKKA
SMIKKA SMOODOO
At
least we shook them up a bit!
LARD
NAR
So
long, my fellow freedom fighters! This might be our end, but now the Universe
has heard our battle cry! Surely others will take up our cause! Someday the
Irken Machine will fall!
RESISTY
ALIEN
Resisty ROCKS!
The
Irken ships begin to glow as they prepare to fire. The Resisty nervously awaits
their demise. The ships fire, but before their blasts can get anywhere, a metal
bubble closes over the ships and saves the Resisty. The buble swings around and
opens, sending the Irken ships hurtling into space.
Int.
The Massive
PURPLE
What
just happened!?! Huh!?! Huh!?! I need to know!
RED
That
can’t be… Planet Jackers? That’s it! That fake treaty we made with them is
off!
A
transmission from Dib appears on the main view screen. He is now on board a
battle ship with various alien representatives behind him.
DIB
Well
now, so you’re the Irken leaders?
PURPLE
Hey!
Aren’t you one of those monkey creatures from that planet Zim’s on?
DIB
That’s
right. The Resisty has backup! Now we’re more than a match for your army!
SORBIC
Aag-Nak
of the Planet Jackers, Emperor Bub Woobies of the Nhar-Gh’ok, Fleg Astergon of
the Smerks, just to name a few of the important figures who have pledged armies
to the cause of destroying the Irken race!
BUB
WOOBIES
That’s
right, Irken scum! We’re here to stop you from spreading your filth any
further!

Int.
Resisty Backup Ship
AAG-NAK
Enough
talk! Let’s do this! Attack!
The
space battle starts. It doesn’t last long and the new armies quickly overpower
the Irkens. The Abductor Ship nudges the Massive like a bumper car.
Int.
The Massive
RED
I
never thought I’d say this, but… retreat!
PURPLE
This
is all your fault!
Purple
points at a random officer. Guards rush in and drag him away.
Ext.

The
Irken Armada flies off into space.
Ext.
Meekrob Plains
The
Resisty watches as the Irken Army boards its ships and begins to rise back into
space.
LARD
NAR
We did it!
Dib’s
new ship lands. Dib exits, followed by the aliens onboard. Shloonktapooxis
immediately gets into an empty mech.
LARD
NAR
We
won, thanks to you, Dib! Now the Resisty is stronger than ever before!
DIB
I
do what I can.
SMIKKA
SMIKKA SMOODOO
It
won’t be long until they are completely destroyed!
MEEKROB
For
your efforts in aiding the Resisty and for saving our planet, you shall
henceforth be known as Ambassador Dib of planet Meekrob!
DIB
Wow!
Thanks! It was nothing, really! Hey look, there’s one more tank down there!
Dib
points to the edge of the forest, where Zim’s Plasma-armed battle Tank crawls
out.
Int.
Zim’s tank
The
officers head for the hatch. An alarm blares.
ZIM
Hey!
Where are you guys going?
OFFICER
Dontcha
hear that alarm? It’s a full retreat!
OFFICER
2
See
ya. Well, hopefully not.
Their
bubble helmets activate and neat little jetpacks extend from their PAKs. They
rocket out of the tank.
ZIM
Fine!
Leave! Zim needs no assistance! I can easily win this war myself!
GIR
Hey
master! Isn’t that your best friend on the TV?
GIR
points to the monitor, which shows Dib standing on the cliff.
ZIM
Heeey!
It can’t be! DIB!?! What’s he doing here!?! I bet this is all his fault!
Zim
pops out of his tank hatch and yells to Dib.
ZIM
Hey, DIB! Hey! Hey! Hey! Come down here and FIGHT ME!
LARD
NAR
Come
on, men! Let’s destroy that Irken!
DIB
No!
Wait! …This one’s mine!
Dib
climbs into a mech.
DIB
My own mech! This is the coolest thing since… that last mech I had!
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS (in his own mech)
I know, isn’t it awesome?
Dib leaps over to where Zim is.
DIB
Okay, Zim. Time to put an end to this!
A fight sequence ensues. Zim and Dib exchange blows at each other. Zim trips Dib’s mech and pins it down. He aims a cannon at Dib.
Int. Zim’s tank
GIR
YeeeHAAAW! Make me a Dib pie!
Ext. Meekrob Plains
LARD NAR
Should we… help him?
RESISTY ALIEN
Yes! …after a little while…
Zim pops out of the tank hatch.
ZIM
Ha, Dib! Now I get to spill your organs all over your favorite clothes with stains that won’t easily rinse out!
DIB
Nooooo!! Wait, my shirt’s the least of my worries.
ZIM
We’ll see about that!
Zim reaches down for the lever. Suddenly, an explosion rips through the tank. At the edge of the forest, a charred Valvus crawls out with his weaponry.
VALVUS
Gotcha!
DIB
Phew…
GIR runs out of the wreckage covered in flames.
GIR
It BURNS! IT BURNS! THANK YOOOOOU!
The Resisty rush over and grab Zim and GIR. They shove them into Valvus’ cannon.
DIB
Ha! You didn’t win Zim! Now your entire race is on the run!
ZIM
This isn’t over, Dib! You can’t stop the mighty Irken race! (to Valvus) Why
are you so intent on stopping the awesome power that is ZIM anyway?
VALVUS
Once, there was an Irken named Zim who clogged a Smeet-chute by shoving another Smeet into it.
ZIM
Yeah, so?
VALVUS
I… was that Smeet.
ZIM
Yeah, so?
VALVUS
Uh, explosions? Immense pain? Suffering?
ZIM
Yeah, so?
Valvus growls in frustration.
DIB
Say goodbye, Zim!
ZIM
Huh? What was that?
Dib presses a button and Zim is launched into space along with GIR.
GIR (excited)
I think we’re gonna die!
Int. Dib’s kitchen
Dib talks to Prof. Membrane
DIB
-And so then their alien race was severely weakened! And victory is close! Maybe now people will believe me!
MEMBRANE
Haha! Son, what have I told you about your hallucinations?
DIB
No, dad! This really happened! I’ve got proof! Meet Shloonktapooxis!
Shloonktapooxis enters from the bathroom.
SHLOONKTAPOOXIS
Hey, man! How’s it goin’?
MEMBRANE
GAZ! Get out while you still can! Your brother’s INSANITY is contagious now!
Prof. Membrane runs away, screaming. Dib sighs.
Ext. Surface of an asteroid
Zim and GIR stand on the surface, severly beaten up.
GIR
Now we’re on planet Po-tay-toe.
ZIM
They thought they could stop me, but they’ve failed! Oh, how they’ve failed! I’ll be back! Yes, YES! I’ll be back and I’ll be more amazing than EVER BEFORE!
Zim
cackles evilly. Suddenly, a comet collides with the asteroid. Roll credits.
