On the planet Foodcourtia , an Irken warship hovered next to a giant restaurant. Two green skinned, bug eyed and very tall aliens were addressing a large army of green skinned bug eyed and extremely short aliens.
"Greetings Irken Invaders! Welcome back from Operation Impending Doom II! We, the Almighty Tallest, wish to congratulate you on our success as we conclude this Operation and begin Operation Impending Doom III." Tallest Spork proclaimed.
"Good thing Zim didn't show up this time." muttered Tallest Red.
"Don't I know it. Wait, don't press that!" Tallest Purple exclaimed as he noticed an Invader reaching for a button labeled, "Call Zim"
"Give me that!" Tallest Red snatched the forbidden button from the Invader. "Don't you know what happened LAST time Zim showed up for Operation Impending Doom I? What is your name?"
"Invader Skooge, my Tallest" squeaked the Invader.
"Throw him in the airlock!" Tallest Red declared. "Now remember, under NO circumstances are you ever to press this butto…oops" Tallest Red realized too late that he had pressed the "Call Zim" button. Immediately, a view screen popped up.
"Oh, great going. I told you I should be in charge of the forbidden buttons." exclaimed Tallest Purple. On the view screen, the Tallest stared at the insides of a frozen house. Everything was covered in ice, from the couch, to the robot parents, to a very small, green skinned, bug eyed alien with his finger on a big red (but now blue) button. Suddenly, a red light appeared. The inside of the house began to defrost.
"Gudwhaha." exclaimed Zim, who was the bug eyed alien hovering over the blue, (but now red) button.
"Wha, how did I escape my frozen imprisonment? What IDOIT pushed the defrost button!" cried Zim. He turned around to see the faces of,
"Gaaa! The Almighty Tallest! I didn't…I mean, I thou…" Zim explained.
"…I hardly think WE'RE the idiots here Zim. How on Irken did you manage to freeze your base?" asked Tallest Red.
"I….I…I don't know. But that doesn't matter at the moment! I am ready to continue with Operation Impending Doom II!" Zim proclaimed.
"Zim, you see, the thing is…" Tallest Purple tried to explain but Zim would here none of it.
"I must thank you for reviving me. Now, I will contact you as soon as I begin my Invasion of the Planet Earth! Farewell, my Tallest" Zim said as he turned off the view screen.
"Now, to find out how long I've been frozen!" cried Zim.
Dib
FunnyFarm Home for the Crazed. Not the place you want to be visiting your son. But that's exactly what world famous scientist Professor Membrane and his daughter Gaz were doing as they stepped into a padded pink rubber room. On the middle of the floor sat a small boy in a dark trench coat.
"Dib" Professor Membrane said. Dib turned around. His glasses were cracked and his hair was a mess.
"I suppose you STILL don't believe me?" Dib said accusingly.
"Dib, it's not like I don't believe you about your 'alien'. It's just that we've locked you in this room until you change your mind." Professor Membrane stated.
"Plus we think you're crazy." said Gaz, not even bothering to look up from her Game Slave.
"I'm telling you, Zim is an ALIEN! WHY DON'T YOU BELEVE ME?" Dib exclaimed, his mouth foaming.
"Whoa, hold on there, son. If your school friend Zim is an alien, how come we haven't seen any flying saucers. Or robots. Or anything weird like that?"
"Zim's dog is a robot. His house has wires that probe the neighborhood. And I've been on Zim's ship! AND YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE ME!"
"I see. Well I guess... oops, my 5 minutes with you is over. Now back to reality." Professor Membrane said as he slowly backed towards the door, being careful not to break eye contact with Dib.
"Gaz, why don't you stay with Dib. Do kid stuff, you know, play with a ball."
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Gaz said, her eyes glued to her game. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared over the city.
"Wait, what was that?" Dib said. "It looked like an alien defrost sequence. And that can only mean...ZIM'S BACK!"
Zim
In between two large buildings, a small, odd, green and purple house began to reactivate. Gnomes that were knocked over and broken began to repair themselves. Inside, two robot parents began cleaning up the room. A mighty roar came from the basement.
"WHAT? I can't have been frozen for 10 Earth years!" Zim exclaimed.
"Actually, 12 Earth years." said Zim's computer, " I counted every second I didn't have to do any hard work. It was paradise."
"SILENCE! Computer, give me the details. I want to know EXACTLY why I froze my base." Zim commanded.
"Sigh, vacation's over, I guess. It may take awhile. I'm out of shape."
"Fine. GIR, we're going for a walk. I want to see how Earth looks after all this time! GIR? Where is that robot?"
Zim looked around. "Hmmm, normally, GIR would say something stupid right about now. What happened?"
"Oh, he's been adopted." explained the robot parents as they stared breaking things they were picking up, "Some cute little girl wanted a mutated piggy so we gave her ours."
"YOU WHAT? You...gave...my SIR unit...away. FINALLY! I've been trying to get rid of that defaulted robot for years." Zim pranced around the room, the traditional Irken happy dance.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, no wait, that's my favorite part of this job" laughed the computer, "but GIR has the access codes to your command base. If someone was to use those codes..."
"He wouldn't give those codes away. He's too smart for... curses. Alright, computer, lock on to GIR's signal. I'll go look for him."
GIR
"Hello, little piggy" A pudgy little girl screamed at a green dog. The dog was tied to a pink plastic chair next to a table set for tea.
"PIGGY! PIGGY, PIGGY PIGGY!" the green dog screamed back at her. His chair hopped around and around as he screamed, "PIGGY!"
"That's right, you're my little piggy. AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE YOU FROM ME!" she screamed in a demonic voice. Zim looked through the window.
"This might be harder than I thought."
Tak
"Oh great. We might as well cancel Operation Impending Doom III now." the Tallest were arguing with each other. The Irken invasion fleet was enjoying a ginormous Flaxor Pizza Beast in Foodcourtia.
" Maybe if we just ignore Zim, he'll go away." Tallest Red argued.
" That almost NEVER works. Zim will keep calling us with his plans to conquer Earth. We might as well just..."
"Excuse me, my Tallest." said a voice from the Invader crowd. The hungry Invaders parted. In the middle stood a female Invader. She looked angry and calculating. Her Sir unit MiMi stood by her side.
"Ah, Invader Tak. Can't you see we're busy trying to get rid of Zim?" Tallest Purple stated.
"I know my Tallest. I want Zim gone as well. Ever since he made me miss Operation Impending Doom I, I will not rest until Zim is destroyed!" Tak declared.
"That's creepy. And a little psychotic. I like that about you! But the thing is, your plan dosn't work with our 'Let's ignore Zim' plans. If Zim found out we're actually on Operation Impending Doom III, he'd ruin everything! So, thanks, and enjoy the Pizza Beast!"
"But, very well my Tallest. Mark my words, Zim will PAY!" Tak cried. She left the restaurant defeated. MiMi hung her robotic head in shame.
"I want Zim too." a voice from behind gave Tak a shock. As she turned around, Tak smelt deep fat grease. "Who are you?" she asked.
"I AM SIZZ-LORR! Zim used to work for me in Foodcourtia as punishment for destroying Operation Impending Doom I. I want him back!" Sizz Lorr explained. Tak smiled.
"MWHAHAHAHAHA! ZIM IS DOOMED!"
