Zim had arrived on his street and was now walking up to his 'house' before opening the door.
"Welcome home, son!" greeted the Robo-Parents as Zim walked in and rid himself of his wig and contacts, revealing his antenna and ruby eyes.
"GIR!" Zim yelled the moment he saw the couch. Littered all over it were various take-out containers and pizza boxes, with Gir sitting on top of it all watching the TV. Gir looked at Zim before waving.
"HI MASTER!" Gir yelled.
"Why is the couch covered in so much filth?" Zim asked as he looked at the couch in disgust.
"I'm watchin the Angry Monkey Show Marathon!" Gir yelled in glee. "10 hours of nothing but the Angry Monkey!"
"Mmmhmm, yes. And that explains why the couch is in this state HOW?!" Zim asked in anger.
"Well I needed snacks while I was watching. Duh!" Gir answered as if Zim was stupid. Zim's eye twitched before he walked deeper into the house.
"I'm going down to the base Gir! Clean up that couch and don't disturb me!" Zim ordered before his toilet moved to the side, allowing his larger build to lower down to his base. Gir only smiled before scooping up leftover food off the couch and shoveling it into his mouth.
-Zim-
Zim had spent the last few hours in his lab, working on various ideas to destroy mankind, as well as working on a few experiments.
"Hmm, maybe I should invent a laser that'll increase Dib's alrighty GIGANTIC HEAD!" Zim yelled dramatically to himself as he tinkered with equipment.
"Master! Incoming Message!" came his computer's voice.
"A message? From the Tallests?" Zim asked.
"No. It appears to be anonymous." answered the computer.
"Anonymous? No one but the Tallests should know how to contact my base!" Zim said as he dropped what he was doing and walked towards the keyboard.
"What about Dib?" the computer asked. "Or his sister Gaz?"
"Squeek!"
"Mini-Moose has a point. There's also Tak."
"SILENCE!" Zim yelled. "Computer! Open the message so that my mighty EYES can read it!"
"Very well." the computer said in a bored tone before opening the message before Zim.
"Hmm?" Zim hummed in confusion before reading the message out loud. "To the one known as Zim, I hope you look to the sky. And curse Derrick's name since it's his fault you die?"
"WARNING! COMPUTER VIRUUUUSSS DETETETETECTED!" buzzed the computer as the screen turned to blurred static. Zim's head whipped around frantically as his base seemed to go completely bonkers around him. Zim immediately began to type away on the keyboard in an attempt to stop whatever was causing all this. "WARNINNNNNG! teST SUBject NNNNNUMbbbbbbbbbbber 48 conTAINMENT FiElD DOWn!"
"WHAT?!" Zim yelled in panic before a horrible screeching could be heard. "AAAAHHH! GIR! GET DOWN HERE! I COMMAND YOU!" Zim yelled into a microphone that sprang from his Pak. Zim immediately felt something fall on his head after the microphone went back in.
"Hi Master!" Gir yelled before looking around. "Are we throwing a party?"
"No Gir! The base has been infected by some computer virus!" Zim yelled before tendrils of wires began to flail about and strike at Zim. "I need you to defend me from the base and any experiments that come in here while I get this place under control!"
"Yes sir!" Gir saluted with red eyes before they turned cyan again and he began to play with the wires. "WEEEEE! LOOK AT ME!" he cried out as Zim began to type away on the keyboard.
"ACCESS DENIED!" cried out the computer, it's robotic voice much lower and garbled. "ADMIT DEFEAT AND DIE!" Zim glared at the computer before he suddenly fell face first on the keyboard. He looked up to see that a few wires had wrapped around his ankles before lifting him in the air. He screamed as the wires began to thrash around, slamming his body into the walls, screens, and equipment before dangling his body upside-down like a dead animal. Zim struggled to stay awake before he felt something horrible to him. His Pak, which was vital for any Irken to survive, had been ripped from his back.
"AAAAHHHHHH! RETURN MY PAK!" he cried out as he struggled to get free. "GIR! GET MY PAK NOW!"
"Okie Do-" Gir yelled before something came out of the floor and swallowed Gir whole. Zim watched as a horrible mutated monster of his creation called an Orcrat , a rat mixed with an orca whale, rise out of the floor and screech a terrible sound.
'This can't be happening!' Zim thought as everything just seemed to get worse with every passing moment. His base had a virus, his SIR unit was eaten, his Pak had been torn away from his body, and he was completely helpless to stop any of it. His eyes didn't leave the monster as it quickly eyed him before slowly advancing toward him. "NO! STAY BACK! I AM YOUR CREATOR! YOU MUST OBEY ME!" Zim cried. The Orcrat paid him no heed as it lunged for him, it's jaw wide open ready to rip him apart. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Zim yelled in fear. "AAAHHHHHH! AAAAAHHHHHHH! AAHHHHhhhhh?" Zim's voice lowered as he realized that the mutant was snapping it's jaws at him, but unable to reach him. Zim blinked as he saw a mass of wires wrap around the Orcrat's tail. "Eh?" Zim said before the wires holding him and his Pak in the air slowly lowered them to the floor, then wrapped around the creature to keep it in place.
"Sir! Are you alright?" the computer asked, it's tone back to normal.
"Well, I'm not being ripped to shreds." Zim snapped as he did a quick check on his Pak before reattaching it to his back. "Anyway, put this creature back in it's containment unit!"
"Sir, the containment unit that held this creature has been destroyed." stated the computer. Zim was ready to pull his antenna out before his eyes widened.
"GIR! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Zim yelled.
"Master! Where is you?" Gir asked stupidly from the creature's stomach. "It's dark in here!"
"Gir! Listen to me! I need you to release all the contents inside your body!" Zim ordered.
"Okaaaay!" Gir yelled.
"Pardon me for asking, but what's that going to solve?" asked the computer. Zim didn't respond as the flailing creature cried out in pain, it's belly slowly beginning to bloat out. "Oh..." said the computer while Zim's grin fell to a look of realization as the creature got huge. "...never mind."
-Outside-
It was early in the night outside, nothing much happening. Suddenly, a muffled boom was heard as the cars on the street jumped a few feet, causing their alarms to go off.
-In the base-
Zim was coughing and hacking as he began to dig his way out of a mixture of mutant guts, stuffed pig toys, and various other bits of garbage.
"Well THAT went well." the computer said sarcastically.
"SILENCE!" Zim yelled before turning to the computer. "I'm just glad you managed to get that virus problem handled before you killed me!"
"Actually, I'm afraid that I didn't stop the virus."
"Huh?"
"It appears that an outside source beamed some software directly into my mainframe. This software seems to have eradicated the virus that had infected me moments ago." the computer explained. Zim stared at the computer with a blank look on his face, his mind trying to process what just happened.
"Hmm. First a computer virus comes inside an anonymous message. Then new software is beamed into your mainframe just before I am destroyed." Zim thought out loud. "Wait. That message!"
"I'm already in the process of deleting it." said the computer.
"No! Read it out loud again!" Zim ordered.
"Master, the last time I opened that message-"
"DO IT!" Zim commanded.
"Hmph. Fine. But don't blame me if I try and kill you again." huffed the computer before displaying the message.
"Zim blah, blah, blah, sky. Yada, yada, there! That part about Derrick being the reason I'm to die!" Zim said as he pointed at the screen.
"Who's Derrick?" asked the computer while Zim glared at the screen.
"That is something...I intend to find out!"
