Scene 4
Fade In
Title: 2 Weeks Later
Zim is walking down the sidewalk, humming the Invader Zim theme song and stomping to the beat. GIR in doggy guise is walking along beside him
GIR starts running in circles around Zim, squeaking
GIR: The squirrels are after me! They want my taquitos!
Tak runs across the street, in no disguise at all. Zim does not see her
GIR: WAIT!
Zim freezes and turns in place
Zim: What IS it GIR?
GIR: It's our friend!
Zim: EH?
GIR: Y'know ... the juice ... poopy ... sucky guy...
Zim: Erm ... could you describe him?
GIR: Staring directly behind Zim Well, he's a ... a little taller than you, 'cause he got them lil' sandals ... an he's got a basket-hat ... I bet he puts fruits in it...
GIR starts shaking violently
GIR: AN HE GOT A BIG SHINY SWORD! An he gonna cut you up!
Zim: A fruits basket? Big shiny sword? Wait! I think I know ... that Filthy- Juice person...
A voice from behind him startles Zim
FJST: Sucker.
Zim whirls at the voice. Filthy Juice-Sucker Tim stands there
Zim: Huh? Ya!
FJST has not been paying attention. He looks up
FJST: Yeah?
Zim: TIM! You a ... you're here for a ... revenge, right?
FJST: Yeah, pretty much.
They stare at each other
Another voice behind him causes him to whirl around again
Tak: Why is he still conscious?!
Zim: Wha- Whirls, falls down TAK! Pointing an accusing finger How did you SURVIVE?!
Tak: What? No hello? Just questions?!
Zim: Oh, eh, sorry. Hello.
Tak: RRRRRRR-AGGGH!!
Tak kicks Zim hard across the face. He flies some and skids across the ground. His hair is mussed and one of his contacts is lost
Zim: Uh ... OW. You will...
Tak: I was LEFT, FLOATING in the emptiness of SPACE for MONTHS!
Tak walks up to Zim, and kicks him hard again
Tak: There was NOTHING but my computer counting down the time I had before I expired from the cold!
Tak: No thanks to your STUPID robot's MEDDLING, Mimi was nothing more than a hyperactive TRASHCAN! It ruined the controls to my ship!
Tak puts one huge, heavy boot on Zim's head, smooshing it against the pavement
GIR: Nooooo! Master! Why they hurt you?
FJST draws his sword and cuts GIR in two
GIR: Aw ... I'm ... Falls in half - starts crying
Zim: GIR! Nooooo!
Tak: Now NO ONE can help you, ZIM!
Zim grabs a hold of her foot, and, throwing her to the ground, uses her momentum to lurch to his feet to try and escape
FJST: I don't think so, Zim.
Zim: Wha- Zim loses his balance whilst running
FJST: There's no escape for you!
FJST draws his sword from its sheath at INCREDIBLE speed, connecting it with Zim's stomach area. His momentum carries him past Zim, who blinks and stares forward stupidly
Zim: Wark! Falls to his knees Organs ... feel all woozily...
FJST: Sheathing his sword It's all right; I used the flat of the blade.
Zim gasps, clutching at his Squeedilyspooch, and then collapses, unconscious
As Zim passes out, the screen fades out

Fade In, as Zim begins to regain consciousness
Scene has changed to the interior of FJST's ship. Zim is bound, hand and foot, suspended by snake-like conduits a meter in the air
Zim wrestles with his restraints, but can do nothing hanging, bound as he is. He struggles more, but to no avail
FJST: Don't even bother, COWARD!
Zim: Angrily ZIM IS NO EARTH MEAT-BEAST!
FJST slaps a hand to his forehead
Zim: Awkwardly Oh ... coward ...oh, well ... I KNEW THAT!
FJST: Sighing How could you have ever destroyed my master?
Zim's eyes squeeze shut as he thinks hard about it
Zim: I know the answer to this one! I squooshed him during Operation Impending Doom One!
FJST: I KNOW that, I was being rhetorical! I didn't expect you to ANSWER that!
Zim: Confused Didn't want ... answer? But ... WHY?
FJST: I was trying to understand HOW it could have been YOU!
Zim: But ... you ... RRRRRRAAAWWWR! Your talk-y stupid-y like Dib!
FJST glares at Zim, unflinching
FJST: ... talk-y ... stupid-y?
Zim glares back
Zim: You heard me...
Cut to camera over FJST's eyes
FJST: RRRR...
Cut to camera over Zim's eyes
Zim: RRRR...
Cut to camera over FJST's eyes
FJST: RRRR ... EAGH! You have NO power over me! I DEFEATED YOU!
Zim: Not breaking gaze You defeated NOTHING, Juice-Sucker. I'm still here, and here I will stay!
FJST: Evil grin You're right about that.
Zim: RREEEEERRRR ... You know what I meant!
FJST grimaces, and waves a claw. The restraints holding Zim tighten, and stretch Zim
FJST: Well, enjoy your pain, I'm off for some more ... juice.
FJST hurls a half-full box of juice at Zim, and it splashes over him, causing his skin to sizzle
FJST exits
Zim, of course, remains, sizzling mildly, and cursing FJST under his breath, his teeth on edge from the pain of his restraints and the uncomfortable burning sensations caused by the juice
Scene cuts from Zim to FJST, who walks down the hall, looking irritated
An electronic voice notifies him of Tak's arrival
Electronic Voice: Sir, Tak has arrived.
FJST's mood lightens a great deal. He smiles and changes direction, heading towards his ship's dock
Tak emerges from the landing craft and smiles upon seeing FJST. Her antennae twitch happily
FJST: SO, what was it you needed on earth?
Tak: Oh, just some stuff. Some things I left behind on my last visit here.
FJST: Like what?
Tak sidles past FJST, and the camera slides along with her
Tak: Secretively Oh, you'll find out.
FJST follows behind Tak curiously, and they disappear down a corridor

Fade In
Tak and FJST are standing before Zim, who has fallen unconscious again, from suspension and juice-splashy torture. A line above his is steadily dripping juice on his head, causing him to twitch, and his head to steam
Tak and Filthy Juice-Sucker Tim exchange words in raised voices
Tak: ...but after all this time, it's too quick an end then he deserves!
FJST: The Tallest said so themselves, he does not die easily. He has been lucky in the past, he will be lucky again if given half a chance.
Tak: But it will mean NOTHING if he doesn't suffer...
FJST: He HAS suffered. I tightened the restraints enough he won't be able to use his limbs for a while, and we magnetically sealed his Pak, so he'll suffocate if given long enough. He won't even regain consciousness.
Tak: But don't you care about MY feelings? He caused me unspeakable SUFFERING!
FJST: Raised eyebrow Don't be selfish. He has caused problems for the ENTIRE Irken Empire. He should be destroyed swiftly, decisively. He does not deserve existence.
Tak, fuming, turns to leave
FJST: Tak...
Tak: How can you treat me so kindly through everything, and then neglect this one thing, the most important for me? He caused me suffering, and I want to see him suffer in turn.
Tak turns the dial to increase juice flow onto Zim's head. Zim twitches a little
Tak tosses her head and storms out
Zim: Urrrrrrgggugle...
FJST sighs, and stares at the unconscious Zim. He makes a rude gesture, turns, and walks out after Tak
Zim wearily raises his head, watching FJST's back as he leaves, and smiles a weak, but victorious smile
