Scene 14: [Planet Irk. The battlefield outside the capitol city. The two
armies have begun their fight. Lasers are flying, cannon fire is
everywhere, and the noise level is enormous. The Tallest are watching
everything from a levitating box high above, and out of the way of the
projectile weapons. Red is calm, but Purple is a nervous wreck.]
Purple: Shouldn't we be helping them??
Red: [shakes his head] Not unless we have to. I mean, what good would it do if we got killed?
Purple: [nods grimly] You have a point…
[Down on the field, a team of Irken soldiers are aiming a laser cannon at a mass of Zhengian Troopers. But blaster fire from nearby strikes the ground near them and they scatter, leaving the cannon pointing directly upwards. Another round of blaster fire strikes the ignition button. The cannon whirrs and fires, straight up in the air!! The camera follows the blast to its unintended target: the Tallests' box.]
Red: Hey…what's that…?
[Before he can say anymore, the blast hits!]
Red & Purple: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[The box crashes to the ground. Neither of them is hurt and they stand up angrily.]
Red: All right! Who's the wise guy who did that??
[A familiar laughter is heard from above them. They look up, shocked, and see Khain floating down towards them, wearing a jet pack of his own. He stops and hovers at eye-level with them.]
Khain: [smirks evilly] Welcome to my arena, ladies.
Purple: [gulps] Shoot…
Red: [cocks his really big gun, eyes narrowed] I intend to.
[Cut to the power core of the Zhengian mothership. FIR still has her guns pointed at Zim, Dib, Gaz & GIR.]
GIR: [cocks his head] Who're you?
FIR: [crisply, business-like] FIR, a fully automated protocol droid programmed and designed strictly for the purpose of serving my Master, Lord Khain.
GIR: You're pretty.
FIR: Uh- [this has caught her completely off guard.]
GIR: I like you! [Runs up to FIR and hugs her. Her weapons are sucked back inside her. She stands, blinking at him.]
FIR: What are you doing? I've been issued a command to destroy you.
GIR: So? I like you anyway!
FIR: [smiles] Oh…no one's ever 'liked' me before…
[Zim, Dib & Gaz look at each other in confusion.]
Zim: Hey! Robot girl! Do you know how to destroy the power core??
FIR: [looks over at him] Huh? Oh yeah! There's a self-destruct button for emergency use on the other side.
Dib: How convenient…
Gaz: [from the other side of the core] Found it.
[The others rush to look at the big red button that reads, "DO NOT PUSH IF YOU'RE AN IRKEN".]
Zim: Curses!! They must have some sort of security device that can scan for Irken DNA!
Dib: Then how're we gonna activate it??
Gaz: Like this. [slams a hand down on it. An alarm starts blaring and the Bith crystals start blinking dangerously (boy that sounds weird)]
Dib: How're we gonna get out of here?!?!
FIR: The escape pods are the only way out. And they're hanger is nearly on the other side of the ship.
Zim: [pushes her forward hastily] Lead the way!! [Camera cuts to a view from the doorway to the power core pit and all the characters run past it, first FIR, followed by Zim, GIR, Dib & Gaz. "It's the End of the World" starts playing.]
Purple: Shouldn't we be helping them??
