Zim smirked as he finished detailing the finishing touches on his plan for how to do away with Ked. Yes, it was sure to work perfectly. Such a simple plan, yet so elegant and surely highly effective. Zim allowed himself a low chuckle, which grew quickly into maniacal laughter. Beside him, Gir (who had woken up a few minutes ago) joined in, cackling insanely for no reason in particular. Finally, Zim suddenly cut in with a loud "BE QUIET!", silencing the small robot.
Zim turned back to the screen, ignoring Gir who was now beating his toy moose against the floor. "Computer! Conduct a scan of the entire city for any and all Irken life forms other than myself!"
There was a click and a faint hum as the computer obeyed. After a few seconds, the computer beeped and clicked again. "Scan complete. One match found. Irken is located in city park, in a cave on the north side."
Zim grinned. "Excellent. Upload the exact location into the Voot Cruiser's navigation system."
There was a click and a whirr before the computer announced the completion of this task. Zim grinned evilly. As he got in to the Voot Cruiser, he spoke softly: "This is your end, Ked."
-----
Ked stood in the cave by his ship, pacing back and forth. He was trying to figure out the ultimate plan to destroy Zim once and for all. An all-out assault certainly wouldn't work. As incompetent as Zim was (Ked had no knowledge of Zim's recent training by Zak and so still believed Zim was incompetent), he still had a proper base, while Ked did not. Attacking him in skool, while he was away from the defenses, would also fail, as both Irkens were held back by the presence of humans. Perhaps he could use that large-headed human – Dib, was it? – to get Zim somehow — Dib didn't seem like the type that would heed his warning.
Ked was jolted out of his thoughts when a plasma blast caused the roof to cave in. Ked jumped out of the way and looked up to see Zim's Voot Cruiser hovering there. Zim's voice blared over the speakers. "You want a fight, Ked? Come and get it!" Ked instantly jumped into his own ship and lifted off. Zim responded by pulling up and heading away. Ked followed, firing his lasers, which Zim dodged with ease, all the while heading up.
"What's wrong, Zim?" Ked shouted. "You running away again? Too cowardly to face me head to head?"
Normally, this would have made Zim furious, but he had expected this from Ked and so was able to suppress it. "No, I'm just taking this fight where no humans can see."
The two Irkens quickly made it into space, at which point Zim wheeled around and fired two plasma blasts at Ked, who responded by blasting the energy balls with his ship's lasers. Zim spiraled up and around and fired again, but Ked dodged the blasts and responded with his lasers. Zim pulled to the left and moved up again, seemingly to get a better angle, and fired his own lasers, followed by a plasma blast. Ked responded by pulling his ship into a barrel roll and moving up, around, and behind Zim, who pulled his Cruiser into a tight spiral around Ked's ship. The two ships spiraled around each other, firing their lasers repeatedly. Finally, Zim suddenly halted. Ked quickly pulled his ship up to face Zim's.
"What's wrong Zim? Giving up already?" Ked sneered.
The look in Zim's eyes was maniacal, and his grin matched. "No, Ked. On the contrary…" Zim's finger hovered over a button on the dashboard. "I have you just where I want you." Zim's finger came down on the button, and a swirling vortex opened up behind Ked. Ked was too shocked to react to Zim's next move – a laser blast struck his ship and knocked him back into the vortex. "So long, Ked…" Zim said darkly, before turning around and heading back for Earth.
-----
Ked screamed as his ship was pulled through the wormhole. He had fallen in backwards, and there was no way to turn around in a wormhole, which meant he had no way to see where he was going. After a minute, there was a bright flash, and Ked felt his ship crash into something. He climbed out of the wrecked ship and looked around. He was in a bright white room, with seemingly no entrance or exit. He turned to look at his ship. It was heavily damaged, but nothing he couldn't fix. "Zim…" he muttered. "You thought you could get rid of me here…you can't. I will fix my ship, and escape from here, and, and…heh, eh, what's that?" A shadow had fallen over him. A strange snorting sound rang out, causing Ked to stiffen. He turned around slowly and came face to face with the biggest moose ever. Ked's screams of anguish echoed across the entire moose-room as Zim, heading back to Earth in his Cruiser (back in our universe) grinned.

Later, on the Massive, the Tallest once again looked down on Zak. "Perfect Invader Zak," said Red, "your training and tests are complete, and the project was a complete success. And so, you have just been officially added to the Invader Database."
Purple nodded. "Your Customized Information Retrieval Unit, or CIR, has also just been completed. As requested, it will be called 'Xad'. It will be waiting for you in your ship."
Zak nodded, and was about to request the details for his first mission when he was cut off by the buzzer that indicated a call from Zim. The Tallest groaned (despite Zim's success at passing Zak's training, and his subsequent reinstatement as an Invader and pardon, they still hated him) and put the call up on the view screen.
"Ah, my Tallest. And Perfect Invader Zak, what a surprise. My tallest, I just want to report that I have rid this universe of Ked. He came after me so I sent him to The ROOM with the MOOSE!" Zim struck a dramatic pose. "Anyway, the mission is back on track and I should have the humans underneath my iron fist very shortly. Well, I have to get started so, Invader Zim, signing off!"
