A/N: My apologies to all of my loyal readers. My last post (Gaz's Chapter, for all of you not-so-loyal readers out there), well, my last post really, really sucked, and I suspect that's putting in mildly. My profound thanks go out to one of my readers, who had the presence of mind to review and get me to kick my rear in gear, reread the last chapter, and realize just how awful it really was. So, for you, here it is. The new, rewritten (and hopefully greatly improved) Act Five. Enjoy!

Operation: Karaoke
Act V: Gaz Is Missundaztood

Last time on Operation: Karaoke, the mysterious 'Voice From The Fog' was revealed to be none other then Tak, the hideous Invader with a grudge. With the help of some fancy lighting effects (as well as a smidgen of mind-control), she won the hearts of everyone in the hall...

CRASH

BANG

BOOM

Tak: Owww... *is unconscious*

Gaz: *wipes hands*

Well, almost everyone.

Red: She beat up Tak!

*pause*

Purple: Well, that was kinda mean.

Red: Yup. *pause* She'd make a great Invader, if she wasn't a... What are they called again?

Purple: *shrug*

Red: Zim! What are those creatures that inhabit your exil- I mean, planet, called?

Zim: The stinkbeasts?

Red: Right. She could be an Invader if she wasn't a stinkbeast.

Purple: And if she wasn't so... Short.

Red: She is short, isn't she?

Purple: Yup.

Red: Not as short as Zim, though!

Both: *evil tyrant laughter*

Gaz: Whatever. *walks over to stage*

Dib: Wait- wait- wait- wait- wait just one minute. Gaz, you're gonna sing?

Megumi: Kinda screws with your perception of reality, the laws of physics, and Sunday Matinee, doesn't it?

Dib: Sunday Matinee?

Megumi: Long story. Don't ask. Now, where did I put that camera...

Dib: You're gonna tape this?

Megumi: You never know when stuff like this might come in handy. And besides, why not? I already taped your song.

Dib: You did what?

Megumi: *whistles*

Dib: *bangs head against wall* Crap. Crap. Crap.

Zim: Well, stinkbeast? Are you going to karaoke or not?

Gaz: Shut up, Zim. *rolls eyes* Moron...

Zim: What did you just say?! The mighty ZIM takes offense to that remar-

Gaz: Ugh. *chucks heavy object at Zim*

Zim: Ow...

Gaz: *grabs microphone* Okay, you dimwits, listen up, 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. Megumi- *glare* What are you doing with that camera?

Megumi: Absolutely nothing. *puts camera away*

Gaz: That's what I thought. And, for the record, if you ever try to get me to do one of these lame fics again, I'll hunt you down and strangle you in your sleep, got it?

Megumi: *gulp*

Gaz: Good. Now, seeing as I'm wasting valuable GameSlave time, let's get this over with. *nods to Fillmore*

Fillmore: *plays music*

GiR: Wheee! I love this song! *runs on stage and breakdances*

Gaz: Get offa the stage you little- Oh, forget it.

I might be the way everybody likes to say.
I know what you're thinking about me.
There might be a day you might have a certain way,
But you don't have my luxuries.
And its me, I know I know my name
Cuz I say it proud!
Everything I want I always do
Playin' on my GameSlave
Always forget to save
But all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm
layin' down for you?

Megumi: Hn. Pink. Nice choice.

Purple: This presentation is definitely missing something.

Red: What? *sarcastically* Lemme guess, smoke machines?

Purple: *gasp* How'd you know? *narrows eye* You've been messing around with those prototype cybernetic implants haven't you?

Red: ...

Purple: Haven't you?!?!?!

Red: *sigh* You are such an idiot.

Gaz: There's a game I was playing, I was up all night.
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its allright.
When I'm happy, I am sad, but everything is good.
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood.

There might be a day everything, it goes my way
Can't you think I know I'm super fly.
I might see the world in a world inside of you,
Then I just might say goodbye.
And its my name I know, I say it loud cuz I'm really proud
Of all the things I used to do.
Cuz there ain't no game guide.
Lookin' for a free ride.
And all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm layin' down for you?

There's a game I was playing I was up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its allright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood.

GiR: Whoo oo oo oo oo oo! Break it down now! Yeah! *breakdances*

Gaz: There's a game I was playing, I was up all night.
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its allright.
When I'm happy, I am sad, but everything is good.
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lookin' for the right track
Always on the wrong track
But all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm layin' down for you?

There's a game I was playing, I was up all night.
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its allright.
When I'm happy, I am sad, but everything is good.
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood.

Said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
I said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
I said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

*music ends*

GiR: Whoooo hoooooooooooo! *breakdances very, very fast* *spontaneously combusts*

BOOM!!!

*silence*

Zim: *emerges from the ashes of what was once the stage* Why was I not informed that GiR had the capacity to detonate on the same frequency as a small atomic bomb?

Red: Don't look at me. I didn't design him.

Megumi: He can't-

Purple: Technically, no one designed him. We just sort of threw him togethe-

Red: *elbows purple*

Megumi: Actually, GiR can't-

Zim: What did you say, my Tallest?

Red: Nothing, Zim.

Zim: Really, I would have thought that you'd tell me something about my SiR's destructive capabilities-

Megumi: *yells* That's just it! GiR can't blow up to that large of a scale. Trust me, I know.

Dib: Soo... What does that mean exactly?

Megumi: It means that-

Unknown Voice: Hiya, 'Gumi!

Megumi: *drops head into hands* It means that one of my muses is on the loose, and we're in a world of hurt.

*dum dum dum*

Dib: Dumb dumb dumb is right.

Megumi: Silence! You're ruining the cliffhanger!

Dib: Sorry, sorry. Eep, I'm sooo scared.

Tune in next week to witness Zim have an emotional breakdown, to see Megumi's muses wreak havoc among the cast, and hear GiR sing 'Whistle While You Work'! The insanity never ends on 'Operation: Karaoke'!
