In a solar system where there is no sun, on a planet so dark no human eyes could adjust, there lives a species so heartless, so cold humans could ever fathom. In slaved by the Irken race their only purpose is to torture victims or punish rebellious Irkens.

Our story begins on this planet with an Irken ship floating just beyond the monsters reach.

"Invader Zim. For killing our Tallest Miyuki and Spork, and creating a horrible monster, you are subject to three Irken days (90 hours) with the," with a pause the ship master shudders. "Halloweenies. If. In three days you are still alive we will retrieve you and you will be sent to continue your invader training. Good luck." The door opens and the air seems to suck the light from the ship.

Zim shivers as he is pushed out of the ship.

A scream is heard before the ship vanishes from the dark sky.

-3 days later-

Zim appears in a teleporter shivering and pale. His clothes are torn and his skin is slick with an oily shine. He rocks back and forth murmuring about Halloweenies and being good.

"You're one tough snack cake, (or you're crazy,) Zim. I wish you the best of luck in your training," the ship master says before Zim is teleported to the medical bay.
