A lone Irken stood on a large stage. She wore a blue Irken tunic sporting the Irken Invader insignia, dark blue leggings, lavender gloves, and matching boots. Beside her stood a tiny SIR unit with violet, triangle-shaped eyes and a matching, larger triangle on its forehead. Around its waist was a strip of purple interrupted only by a single gray square in the middle. Behind them were five blank monitors.
"Welcome, mighty fanfiction readers!" the Irken upon the stage said. "I am Invader Ixin, and this is the Irken Empire Dare Show of Doom! Here, my SIR unit, CoCo, and I have invited the cast of Invader Zim to partake in the latest season of IEDSoD! And now, wiggle your antennae in salute, because here, on these very monitors, are the contestants!"
One of the monitors behind Ixin and CoCo turned on, revealing Zim sitting in his base.
"Invader Zim!"
"What?! Ixin?! What are you doing here? I thought you left Earth to-"
"Dib Membrane!"
A second monitor lit up, revealing a confused Dib.
"Hello? I'm here for the Swollen Eyeball meeting!"
"Oh, no, you're not, Dib. You, you pathetic, human pig-smelly, are on Irken television!"
"I am?! Grr, I know that's you, Ixin! And to whoever's watching this: let it be known that I will find you, and stop your alien invasion!"
"Shut up, Dib!" Zim and Ixin said at the same time.
"Next up, your favorite psycho SIR unit, GIR!" CoCo yelled monotonously. GIR appeared on a screen above Dib's, attempting to build a castle out of tacos.
"Ooh! Am I on TV?!" GIR shrieked.
"And we have Gaz, as well!" CoCo stated, gesturing to a monitor below Zim's.
"What do you idiots want?" Gaz asked without looking up from her Game Slave 2.
"And last, but certainly not least, your all-knowing, all-powerful, attractive leaders- well, one of them, anyway- the Almighty Tallest!"
The final monitor, which was twice the size of the other four, turned on to reveal Tallest Red and Purple, who were eating donuts.
"Hey, what's that camera doing here?" Purple asked.
"You're on IEDSoD, my wonderful Tallest Purple," Ixin explained, swooning slightly.
"Ixin, what we're doing is none of the public's business! Turn that thing off!" Red commanded.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, my Tallest," Ixin replied, a bit tense. She turned her back on him. "Anyway, as expected, CoCo and I are going to need you to submit some truths and dares in the form of reviews to this chapter. However, we only use reviews that were posted on the preceding chapter. For example, if I posted some truths and dares in the form of a reply to this chapter, my truths and dares would only be posted in Chapter Two, and nothing but. Anyway, the Irken Empire Dare Show of Doom will be coming back with your truths and dares after the break!"
