Midnight Assassin

Part 1: Intro

"…and the filthy moose-beast got away due to that big-headed child, Dib… but not to worry my Tallest! I will get it back and remove the Dib-human's puny brain, FOR I AM ZIIIIM!" The short, red-eyed Irken on the screen began to laugh maniacally.

The two tall Irkens in red and purple stared silently at the screen.

"Look, Zim! STOP CALLING US! WE DON'T LIKE YOU! WE FIND YOU A COMPLETE MORON!" The Tallest Red interrupted.

"Yeah! Stop calling us!" Tallest Purple sprayed the screen with donut crumbs.

A long uncomfortable silence broke out…

And then Zim spoke again, "Can I get super weapons to catch the moose-pig?"

Red smacked his head, "NO! GOODBYE ZIM! We have another call…"

Purple cut the call and the screen went static, "I think it's time we just BLOW ZIM UP!"

Red sighed, "No… The lucky moron will just stumble his way out to safety…" He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, "I think it's time we send a professional…"

"A professional, Red?"

"Yes, to deal with our little nuisance… Send in shorty whatshisface!"

Purple hummed happily and floated out the door. There was a loud crash and a short Irken was viciously thrown in at Red's feet.

"Yes my Tallest?" The Irken muttered to the floor.

Red picked him up by the collar and looked at the Irken in the eye, "What's your name, shorty?"

"Zak, my lord"

"I have a special mission for you, Zak. I want you to go to the last level of the ship and find chamber 666. It should be the only chamber on that level. There will be an Irken in there by the name of Midnight… You will know it's her if her eyes are pitch black. Even if you find that she is dead, bring her corpse to me so I know that you didn't lie."

"But my Tallest! The lower levels are only full of dangerous convicts!"

"I KNOW THAT, FOOL! Midnight voluntarily isolated herself down there FIFTY YEARS AGO! I need her NOW! GO!"

"Please my Tallest, reconsider! Or please send someone else!"

WHAT IS THIS?! ARE YOU IRKEN OR NOT!?" Red viciously hurled the short Irken out the doors.

Purple popped in, happily munching on nachos, "What's up, Red?" He sprayed Red with nacho crumbs.

Red wiped off the crumbs disgustedly, "Oh, I just sent shorty to chamber 666 to get Midnight…"

Purple gasped, but then went straight on, snarfing his beloved nachos.

Red stared at Purple for a couple of seconds before joining in the fray, "HEY! GIMME SOME!"

Purple smacked Red in the face, "Get your own!"
