Invader Zim Movie 3: Doom Doom Revolutionary Invader Zim

Written by Lord Timothy Also by Dither
Scene 3
Fades In

The screen displays the text message "3 Days Later", and 4 completely mismatched roses spin in the corners of the screen

Fades in on Zim sitting in front of his TV with his face stuck to the literally stuck to the screen

There is a rush of air as Zim slowly falls backwards and a loud "pop" sound as his face comes off the TV, and he falls backwards with a thud

Game: Congratulations! You have beaten DOOM DOOM REVOLUTION!

Zim: Have I now?

Game: YES! Here's ... a COOKIE!

CD slot shoots a cookie out that falls and lands betweens Zim's eyes, which are dull red. Rose petals burst forth from somewhere and gently cascade over Zim

Zim: Eh? Where's my power to bring the revolution?

Zim: Sits up crazed WHERE'S MY POWER TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD?

Game: Now that you've beaten the game, you are ready to battle in THE DUELISTS'ARENA!

Zim: REVO-LUTION! REBO-WUTION! WEBO-WUSHUN!! Pauses in rant Duelist? Arena?

Game: Pay a visit to your local ENDS OF THE WORLD outlet, and visit the DUELIST ARENA, where the finest DOOM DOOM REVOLUTIONISTS meet!

Zim blinks, his eyes crack a little

Game: Play head-to-head with your friends and compete for the power to REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD!

Zim: Frustrated So THAT is what the MEAT-child spoke of. FINE! Squeeze-y fist I guess I must GO to this 'Battle Arena' that the game speaks of to obtain my AMAZING POWER.

Zim wheels around, looking around. His eyes are still quite dull, and cracked from blinking for the first time in 3 days

Zim: GIR!! Come to your AMAZING MASTER!

There's a rumbling. GIR bursts through the floor tiling, rebounds off the ceiling and wall before landing at Zim's feet. A rain of tacquitos follows him, showering the both of them, and hitting Zim in the eyes repeatedly

Zim: GIR! I have defeated the GAME. You will accompany me to the Ends of the World so I can gain the power to Striking a dramatic pose REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD!! There is an explosion and rose petals fall from the ceiling, mixed with more tacquitos

A couple of arm-things extend from the ceiling of the Base and clap

Zim is hit in the eyes with more tacquitos, and rubs his eyes furiously

GIR: But I wanna beat the game too!

Zim: There's no TIME GIR! REVOLUTION AWAITS! Another tacquito falls on Zim's head

GIR: My tacquitos want to play too!

Zim: RR~! Grabs GIR - cuts to dramatic view of Zim holding him over his head

Zim throws GIR through a window, throws on his disguise, grabs GIR's dog- suit, and marches out the door

It is early evening. There is a whoosh-y sound, and the camera pans around the neighborhood, we see a brief montage of Zim-and-GIR-walking clips, and then suddenly we are at Dib's house

Camera pushes through the front door and into the living room. Mysterious Mysteries goes to a commercial break. Gaz wanders in

There is a slow pan up Gaz. Dark, evil-looking roses spin in the four corners of the screen. She notices them, and throws something directly at the screen. It goes black as though hit by something, and goes back to normal

Dib: HEY Gaz ... what do you suppose ZIM is up to?

Gaz: Why would I know anything about your stupid friend?

Dib: He's missed three days of Skool AND HE'S NOT MY FRIEND! He must be PLOTTING something. Maybe I should go check it out. I'll catch him RED- HANDED!

Gaz: Yeah. Whatever. I'll stay here and ... uh ... guard the house.

Dib: Getting up and dashing to the door That's the spirit Gaz! I'll try to be back before midnight. Opens the door and dashes out

Gaz: Man, I thought he'd NEVER leave. Sits down on couch

Front door bursts open again and Dib sticks his head through

Dib: Mysterious Mysteries is a rerun, so you don't have to tap-

Gaz hurls something that hits the door closed. Dib's head gets smacked in the door, and he falls backwards outside. The door bangs open, and then shut behind him

Gaz: Inhaling deeply and then exhaling Ah~! Blissful solitude.

The TV is suddenly VERY loud

TV: ATTENTION GAMERS! THE REVOLUTION IS HERE!

Gaz looks at the T.V. Her eyes get very wide. She gets up from the couch, and walks stiffly down to Professor Membrane's lab

Professor Membrane is tinkering with a ... something. There are lots of blue sparks, and he suddenly spins around and proudly displays the toaster, which now has huge conduits snaking around it, and looks almost Irken

Membrane: I have done it ... AGAIN! The world can have toast once MORE! It is truly GREAT to be ME!

There is a pan up the length of Membrane, a long, slow pan. He is tall. Steel roses rotate very precisely in the corners. There are yellow and pink bubbles in the background, making him out to be a bishonen. He suddenly snaps out of the trance (with a whip crack) when Gaz walks up

Membrane: OH! Hi daughter! Would you like some Dramatically SPACE TOAST?

Gaz: Dad, Dib went over to Zim's house.

Membrane: Did he say when he would get back?

Gaz: Midnight.

Membrane: Midnight, eh? A perfect time to RAISE THE DEAD. Well, he knows the consequences if he tries it again.

Gaz: That's not important right now ... I need to buy a game.

Membrane: What kind of game, daughter?

Gaz: Doom Doom Revolution.

Membrane: Ah. PERFECT! An excellent example of a game that increases brain activity, hand-eye coordination, and dries out those pesky tear ducts. Here's some money. Hands Gaz a wad of cash Run along now, and be back before too late.

Gaz turns and walks up the stairs and out the front door. Camera does cool pan up the stairs, and through some dark shadows and bright lights, and ends up at Zim standing just outside a giant building.

There is a pan across the building. The front of a great big red car is sticking out, high over the doors, and a large neon man is sitting on the hood. The words "Ends of the World" are splashed across the front. All the while, 4 little red cars are spinning in each corner

Camera cuts back to Zim again. He walks in the front doors, which slide open and shut with uber-space age automatic neatness

The inside is BIG. And PRETTY. And full of NEAT VIDEO GAMES. Kids and teenagers and even adults are playing games on consoles all over the place. There is LOTS of NOISE

Zim: So this is the ENDS OF THE WORLD? Where is this supposed Duelists' Arena?

GIR: (BLARP) Why don't you ask the UR~! Store Employee-sticky-meat guy?

GIR is looking around. His eyes are swiveling so fast, a little smoke issues from inside his mask. Suddenly he screams and runs off to play a game. He runs between the legs of numerous people, knocking them over

Zim: GIR! GET BACK HERE!

GIR has completely vanished in the sea of people

Zim: Though I'd rather not seek help from these FILTHY Earthanoids, this place is GIGANTIC! Its interior is comparable to the assembly halls of Conventia!!

Zim grabs a nearby employee wearing a white suede jacket with coat tails. The man has a purple mullet. He also has a pot-belly. And is very short. And pasty-white skin. Hee hee

Zim: You!

Employee: Me?

Zim: You have won ... SOMETHING MAGICAL!

Employee: I have?

Zim: You have WON the opportunity to tell the mighty ZIM where he might be able to compete in this "DOO-A-LIST AIR-E-UHH".

Employee: Ah, well that's easy! Just head straight ... Looks around vaguely, and then suddenly points THAT way.

Zim: Is that ALL?!

Employee: No, no. Spraying Zim with spittle LISTEN! This is IMPORTANT! Continue until you reach the the huge fountains ... of WATER.

Zim: Shuddering And then?

Employee: Do you have your Doom Rose Seal?

Zim holds up his clawed hands to show the ring

Employee: Good, because you'll need it to get into the arena, and you'll also need to have beaten the GAME.

Zim: Yes, yes. I defeated that miserable GAME. It took me nearly FOUR PERILOUS DAYS, but I defeated it.

Employee: Four days? Laughs You may be in trouble then. Most of the contestants beat it BEFORE IT CAME OUT! There is a dramatic pause

Zim is staring at the Employee

Employee: Anyway, there'll be some STAIRS that spiral up and around. There's a gondola in the middle, but its OUT OF ORDER right now, so you'll have to take the STAIRS. At the TOP of those STAIRS, of course, is the arena.

Zim: Patting the Employee on the arm I commend your efforts, I go now to claim the POWER to ... Music gets ready to swell for another "Revolutionize the World" but stops

Employee: But you can't go there yet.

Zim: WHAT?! Tackles the Employee Are you THREATENING ME?!

Employee: No, you just can't-

Zim: WELL ARE YOU?!

Employee: I said I wasn't-

Zim: HOW DARE YOU THREAT-Y MEAT!

Employee: You have to have a challenge before you can duel.

Zim: Eh? Oh. BUT WHO WOULD CHALLENGE ZIM'S MIGHTY FISTS OF ... FISTS OF ... THING ... that ... bad ... FISTS OF THING THAT BAD!

Employee: Directly opposite of the arena STAIRS is the elevator for the Duelists' Lounge. There you can socialize and challenge your fellow Duelists for the power to REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD.

Zim looks around puzzled because there was no flair of music or burst of rose petals. Then he notices the slow rain of rose petals that has been falling constantly the entire time

Employee: Nobody is allowed into the actual ARENA until a challenge is made. The current champion must accept all challenges.

Zim: You seem to know a lot about this "Duelist Arena".

Employee: Looking mysterious You would be surprised how much I know about ... things, Zim. I KNOW things.

The employee stalks off mysteriously. Zim PONDERS IN THOUGHT

Zim: Wait a minute, I'd didn't tell you my- Looking up to find that the Employee had disappeared name?

GIR wanders back, chewing on a game controller cable

Zim: Oh well. Come on GIR. I have discovered the location of The Arena.

GIR slurps the cable up like spaghetti. Zim shudders

GIR: O~KAY!

Zim and GIR walk along, passing the fountains, and stare at the long spiraling STAIRS that disappear into the sky ... ceiling ... thing

Fade out
