Operation: Karaoke
Act IV - Tak, The Hideous Prima Donna

Last Time...

The smoke from the Tallest's performance was cleared away by some Author Magic (tm). A mysterious figure shoved Dib from behind, and Mrs. Bitters brought down the house with her version of Gollum's song. Unfortunately, this left almost everyone unconscious. But hey, on the bright side, now GiR can play DDR all he wants!

*heavenly music plays, and bright white light surrounds our... heroes, who are just starting to come out of their comas*

Dib: *wakes up... slowly...* Am I dead? Is this heave-

Zim: *attempting to shut out memories of Mrs. Bitters' performance* Shut up, earthling.

Dib: Crap. Guess not.

Megumi: Sorry 'bout the confusion, Dib. I was just checking out this karaoke machine's 'angel chorus' feature. And GiR was messing around with the lights.

*lights dim and GiR is revealed near one of the walls, having great fun with the light controls*

Dib: *bangs head against floor*

Zim: Is the madness over with, then? Is she gone?

Dib: Mrs. Bitters, yes. Megumi, no, damnit.

Megumi: Watch your language, Dib. *chucks microphone at Dib's head*

Dib: *ducks*

Microphone: *whacks Zim*

Zim: Ow!

Voice From The Fog: I'll take that! *grabs microphone*

Zim: No! It's my turn to use the karaoke contraption!

Megumi: Hate to break it to you, Zim, but you're not gonna get your shot until the last chapter. Gotta keep readers hooked, you know.

Zim: Then why did you let Dib go first?

Megumi: *glomps Dib* 'Cause he's my favorite!

Dib: *choking* ...air...

Zim: Now then, who took the microphone. Speak, puny earthling, and you may be spared some of my wrath!

Tak: *twirling microphone in hands* No.

Dib: *double take* Tak? What are you doing here?

Narrator: Yes indeed, faithful readers. The mysterious Voice From The Fog was indeed Tak, the hideous new girl! What evil deeds have formed in her brain since we saw her las-

Dib: Hey, wait a sec. Didn't we get rid of you back at at the movie fic?

Zim: Yeah. I thought you went and got yourself a job with some big telemarketing corporation!

Narrator: Oh yeah. *leaves*

Tak: *impatient* Uh, hello? Can we get back to me, please?

Zim: Oh yes. What are you doing here, fiend. I thought we were rid of you!

Tak: Two reasons, actually. First, I manned to obtain a copy of Megumi's new fic, in which I play a prominent part. I got here as fast as I could so I'd be able to win the contest and get out of it.

Zim: That won't happen, fool. The mighty ZIM will be the only winner this day!

Tak: Be silent when you speak to me! *glare* I've also come with a message for you, Zim! *strikes dramatic pose*

*silence*

*crickets*

*tumbleweeds*

Zim: Well? What is it!?

Tak: Oi! DJ, you moron! Play the song!

Fillmore: I ain't gettin' paid enough for this.

*disco tune begins to play*

Gaz: *raises eyebrows* 'I Will Survive'? Pathetic.

Dib/Zim: *confusion*

Tak: *flashes dazzling smile at crowd, then glares at Zim* Oh at first I was annoyed,
I was really fried!
I was stuck on Planet Dirt with no way to hitch a ride.
But then I spent so many years just thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong.
And I learned how to carry on!

GiR: *brake dances* Break it down now!

Tak: So now I'm back from outer space.
I came to Earth to show you that you're really a disgrace!
You know the Tallest think your puny
And quite frankly I agree.
And I know that when I beat you they'll restore my rank to me!

Go on now go!
Pack up and leave!
I want you off this planet when I do my mighty deed!
You wrecked my chance at glory,
And I know vengeance shall be sweet!
I'll bet you thought that when you wrecked me,
I'd come and grovel at your feet!

Oh no, not I!
I have survived!
And as long as I know you're still here I'll hold on to my drive!
I've had all this time to plan,
Soon you'll fall by my hand.
I have survived,
I have survived!
Hey hey!

Red: You go girl! Whoo hoo!

Purple: Tell 'im, girlfriend!

Tak: *beams* Well I didn't have much choice,
I had to masquerade.
The daughter of a CEO I was forced to portray.
I won over your classmates with my gifts of yummy meat.
Give it up, Zim, you clod, just admit defeat!

'Cause now you see somebody new!
I'm not that blinded little Irken still ticked off at you.
No, now I've calmed my squeedilly spooch and I'm stewing in my wrath.
I'll give you one last chance, then I'll chop your head off with a axe!

Zim: Ulp.

Tak: Go on now go!
Pack up and leave!
I want you off this planet when I make Irken history!
You wrecked my chance at glory,
But I swear vengeance shall be mine!
Did you think I'd crumbled?
Did you think I'd laid down and died?

Go on now go!
Walk out that door!
Just get on your spaceship now, 'cause you aint welcome anymore!
You wrecked my chance at glory,
And I know vengeance shall be mine.
Did you think I'd crumbled?
Did you think I'd laid down and died?

Everyone But Zim and Gaz: *cheers*

Tak: Thank you, thank you. I'm here 'till Thursday. Try the veal!

Everyone: *goes and tries veal*

Dib: Mmm. Tasty.

Gaz: *eye roll*

Tak: What? You think you could do better, you goth freak?

Gaz: Ouch, that really hurt. Did you think that one up all by yourself, or did your SiR help you?

Tak: *growl* You wanna say that to my face?

Gaz: No. I think I'd rather upstage you. *puts down GameSlave*

Everyone: *gasp*

Gaz: Shut up. Gimme that microphone. *grabs*

Tak: No.

Dib: *wince*

Zim: What is it, Dib-human?

*crash*

*bang*

*slam*

*boom*

Tak: Ouch! Not the cybernetic implant!

*crunch*

Zim: Oh.

Tak: *unconscious*

Gaz: She's a disgrace to all purple-haired girls with three letter names.

Purple: But she sang pretty...

Red: And the disco ball-

Gaz: Quiet. It's my turn, and I'm gonna sing...

A/N: Hehehehe... You'll see. Cookies to The Spooky Chihuahua, Shadow Dib, InvaderFrost and Maran Zelde for their expert detective work. Good work in finding the not-so-elusive disclaimer!

BTW, didn't have time to cleverly hide the disclaimer in this chapter, so here it is. I Will Survive belongs to Gloria Gaynor. Not me. Not Tak. Not Scary Monkey.

A quick note to all you artists out there: I would love a pic of the Tallest doing their song a couple of chapters ago. Heck, I'd worship the ground you walk on if you give me any sort of fan art at all!
