Location: Planet Irk

Government Headquarters ( Property of the Tallest)

Inside the room there were about a dozen irken loyalists, who were also the creme de la creme of society, known as 'intellectuals'. Their purpose was to manage the database that stored crucial information on Irk, as well as the execution of The Almighty Tallests orders. Usually in the oval room was someone from the outside of the elite circle and Tallest, often some outstanding politician or military officer, it could also be a member of special group made out of different regenerates, who owned it thanks to theirs extraordinary ambition and ruthlessness when it comes to achieving their goal (to put it simply, they were criminals). At the moment, all the "intellectuals" were sitting in a circular room. The Tallest were looking at the screen with indifference and contempt simultaneously. In the middle of the broadcasting room was Zim with his hands handcuffed at his back. Two, taller by a head, guards were standing behind him.

"Why I'm not surprised to see you here today, Zim?" Asked Red with muffled but clear voice.

" I'm sure you're surprised, my Tallest, by the the fact that Zim is the only invader that has managed to bring here the most dangerous, unstoppable,nasty, dirty, scoundrel..."

" Enough! " - Red couldn't hold back any longer -" Or you dare deny that you nearly destroyed the planet because of your own stupidity? Haven't you run away from planet Foodcourtia, despite the fact that you were banished there as a punishment? And You did it twice! Don't try to deceive us, as you did for over three years, because of you we almost won the " the most stupid population of the universe" award. And as a final straw, you crashed in the middle of Off-Planetary research centre, half an hour ago ?!" The entire room fell dead silent.

" I " Said Zim " I... Zim, who doesn't stop at nothing... just needs more time, who else has done so much good in the name of the Tallest..."

" So you decided dig your own grave even deeper? " He was interrupted by Purple

" What? Zim does not understand."

" You are a threat to the entire irken race. You're never fully aware of your own actions, you ... What I mean is that there should be a list of unreformable destructive morons, created just so you could be on it! "

" But, but, but... My Tallest!" Zim began to panic " I can still fix it! And I can partially compensate for the losses that I inflicted - I brought the earthling! He's in the lab right now! I purposely brought him there, only... Zim has mistaken gas for a brake pedal and... You have to believe me! It was this disgusting, ugly, stinky piece of meat, that has caused that misunderstanding! He had destroyed all of my plans! And I, Zim, using my genius and persuasion skills, had never raised a suspicion in any human, except for him! I tell him : " Dib, don't touch me, I am a human like everybody else and I love, I love the earth! " And he sais: "No you fucking scum... I'll kill you, I'll kill just because, you're green and your dog is also green!"

You can do everything you want to him : Remove his intestines, put it into his head and make him dance! Or check his survival abilities - first break his one leg, then the other one and third, and ..."

" Zim!" Both the Tallest yelled, having in mind that not many people in the room had strong nerves, one of the 'intellectuals' became twice as pale as the rest.

" You're insane! " Red summarized. " You brought him here? " He pointed at the screen that showed a Dib (ish) image, who was in a semi- conscious state inside of the capsule filled with RA-2. " This is the beast that sabotage you for three years?! "

" I realize that he doesn't look very threatening... " He was interrupted by everyone's laughter, even the guard behind him couldn't hold it in.

" Listen Zim" Began Red. " If he truly is the one that destroyed all your 'brilliant' plans, and he is the reason we had to listen to your lame excuses, then I suppose you wouldn't have anything against, him becoming a experimentation material and that his insides will be given to the academic circles?"

" No. " Zim replied with humility.

" Very well. Now, what to do with you? Don't think of us as heartless, we just don't care." Red smiled slightly." Five years of social work "

" Five years?!" Surprised Zim yelled. " But, what about my mission? Now when Dib is out of the picture, I only have to come back to earth..."

" I don't wanna hear another word about that damn planet, Zim! " Purple exclaimed " Now it is out of your reach!"

" I agree." Said Red. " Oh and by the way your robot has been subjected to demolition. It was broken."

" GIR?" Not knowing what else to add Zim fell silent. Lanky rulers began discussing something between themselves, from time to time gazing to Zim. One of the 'intellectuals' noted that decision has been made and began to type changes in Zims data base, with his trembling fingers.

"Shit what they ordered him to write?" thought Zim

" Someone will arrive to pick you up. I can assure you... merely five years of torture is not a long time. You'll be a free man after that."

" Five years." Zim kept saying to himself. " Five years of life, wasted"

Fifteen minutes later, something strange started, all the loose-lying objects began to tremble slightly. The screen that were displaying all current informations every second, hung up, as if to emphasize the current situation the walls began to shake and all the "intellectuals" lifted into the air. At this point, the lights in the room has gone crazy, infecting mechanicals windows. The gigantic machine began to emit shrill roar, coming more or less from anti-gravity turbines and countless pipes. To ship has fully landed, windows still shone for next three minutes. The vessel has finally emerged, black as night, car-like looking reflectors in front. Its entire length of hovering up and down ship consisted of oval, constantly moving parts with protruding wires. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of large number of natives who gradually began to focus around the pitch black monster. No one dared to approach too close. Colossal turbines, excreted thick clouds of smoke, which lifted up in the air and covering the entire city.

" It's your ride, Zim." Said Red, not without sarcasm.

" Eeee... right n-n-now... This is some kind of a hellish hole! You'll hide me, right?" Zim fell to his knees from terror and the guard had to support him.

" Yes, this is it, whatever was its name?" Both rulers literally were howling from laughter, but the sound were silenced by hisses and clanging made by the colossus.

" Finally every thing is how its supposed to be." Said Purple. After a few clicks made by "intellectuals" the screen displayed "Zim: Status invaders withdrawn" involuntary Zim looked at the monitor and what he saw has a bigger impact on him than the colossus.

" Nooo! My Tallest! Anything that this!" Zim had to be pulled up again, being now in the possession of the Tallest, he was kicking and screaming still hoping to change the verdict. Zim like an ordinary criminal, has been run by the crowd in the direction of a huge machine, he was, after all guilty of all damage done Irk. No wonder that the sight of the ghost ship has raised such confusion, it showed off only to transport different kinds of criminals to the worst of irken prisons located in the scariest areas. The appearance itself did not amazed, because in recent years it have been seen few times, arriving every five years to drop off someone, but not in every case.

Zim was right when he called the ship "a hellish hole" because of the screams of hundred thousands of prisoners that were coming from its compartments.

Zim was pressed in to one of those "round" part of the wagon, where the only source of light was a small barred oval window near the ceiling. But the worst was yet to come. Inside of Zims head, lights lit up, it was a reaction caused by a helmet that was forced on his head, which purpose was deafening and blinding the victim and in case of escape from the hellish giant, it would blew his head off in a matter of minutes.

Zim was too intoxicated with fear, to be able to realize what, when and why they put it on him, he just sat rigidly in his place.

What the devil? What have they done to me? I have a vice clamp on my head... My eyes... Have I got mute? It seems that I can't hear myself, I can't... These maniacs had placed a torture device on my head! I can't see... I can't hear...I can't help it. Panic. My blood pressure rises, my heart will break. Trembling... My whole body is shaking... My hands are free, I would rather have broken finger than to wear this fucking helmet on my head. Help! I can't hear anything... I can only scream as much as possible and this is the only thing I want! Louder! Louder!

The hellish ship disappeared from the Tallest sight, leaving only the hollow scream "scum"

" I wish that the death penalty wasn't abolished two thousand years ago" Said Purple " And I would like the criminals to be tortured, so they wouldn't disturb citizens."

" We live in different times now. If the fruits are rotten you don't cut the whole tree down, besides the waste can always be utilized. Or would you prefer to see the alleys of cut-off heads everywhere you go?" Asked Red

" I guess you're right." The walls shook with laughter of the crew and heads of irken empire.
