"It is FINISHED!" Zim proclaimed triumphantly, holding up a tool in a victorious pose. He seemed oblivious to the mess he had made of his lab in the process of finishing his project.

"YAAAAYYYY!" Gir yelled excitedly, dancing around the machine Zim had just finished.

"This, Gir, is a device that will help me with my experimentation on the filthy humans. It is a brain transferring device that can switch the brains of whatever is inside of it. I have-," Zim was interrupted by his assistant.

"But I thought you could already do that like with Squid Man?" Gir pointed out.

"Yes, yes," Zim waved a hand, "but that takes several hours. THIS is instant! It is genius! IT'SGENIUS!" he finished loudly as he put a hand against the machine's side.

The exterior of the machine was purple and blue with a red coloured control panel towards the front. It was a tall device, large enough to fit two full grown humans if necessary. Zim, of course, had other plans for it at the moment.

"And my first victim," Zim narrowed his eyes and gave a quiet little evil chuckle, "will be …YOU, DIB-STINK!" he pointed dramatically at the boy who was tied up nearby with simple ropes and his mouth taped shut.

"You should feel honored, dirty Earth monkey, that you will get to be the first test subject to ZIM'S mighty creation. I think I'll switch your brain with, oh I don't know, that chicken," Zim pointed to a confused looking chicken that was in an alien stasis tube with green fluid.

Dib looked horrified.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Zim laughed manically at Dib's expression, loving every second of it. He continued laughing for a long time until Dib just looked bored.

"Foolish, Hu-man! Did you really think you could defeat ME! No one can defeat me, for I am ZIM!" the alien proclaimed loudly, "Do you finally SEE the superiority that separates me from your… inferiority?" he finished, unable to find another word to describe what he wanted to say.

"MmmMmmphmmf!" was Dib's response from behind the tape.

"What?" Zim asked, blinking at him.

"IMM! Mmmphffffmmnumphf!" Dib replied putting more effort into it but still unintelligible.

"What was that?" Zim asked.

"Iimm oueurphf," Dib said more quietly, glaring at his enemy who was standing in front of him, looking at him curiously with his large red eyes.

"You seem more…. Stupid than before, Dib-worm," Zim noted, "Perhaps it is my GREATNESS that has broken your mind!"

"MMMMM!" Dib protested.

"Oh, wait a minute," Zim said, coming up with an idea. He ripped the tape off of the human's mouth with no compassion whatsoever.

"OOOOW! That really hurt!" Dib exclaimed.

"O-Of course!" Zim said uncertainly at first but finished confidently, "I meant it to!"

"You'll never get away with this Zim! You can't just go around turning people into chickens!" Dib told him.

"Oh, I will get away with it. I am getting away with it right now. Soon you will be nothing more than a chicken. And who will stop me then, Dib, WHO?" Zim asked, spitting out Dib's name venomously as he always did.

"Well, nobody, I guess- Wait, NO! Someone will surely stop you! Someone like…. ME!" Dib grinned maliciously at the alien as he narrowed his eyes. Zim had a split second to look shocked and confused before Dib shed his bindings and tackled him to the floor.
