Chapter 3-The Preposterous Plot

Suddenly, there was another blinding flash of light. Everyone around the time machine flew off in different directions. Then the machine stopped shaking and wobbling, and switched into shut-down mode. Zim peeked out.

"This lab looks different," said Zim. "I must be back in my own reality, but I got to be sure."

He took the elevator to house level to take a look. The design was different and the monkey has a happy face. Gir see's him.

"Master! Where were you?!" shouted Gir happily.

"Hold on, Gir," said Zim.

He opened the door to take a look outside. Everything seems quiet.

"Yep," sighed Zim. "I'm back in my own reality. Its good to be home. But I still need to save Skoodge, oh well, I 'll do that later. First I'll take a stroll in the streets."

He puts on his disguise(Gir as well). He puts a leach on Gir and takes a little walk. Seconds later back in the lab, four confused beings: Miz, Evil Skoodge, Rig, and Bluester from an alternate universe, checks the lab. They were knocked out after being flown off from the time machine several minutes ago.

"Look," said Miz. "This lab is completely different. This must be Zim's lab."

The four went up to house level to take a look.

"The designs are different," said Miz as he looked around. He then looks outside.

"Everything seems quiet," he said as he closes the door.

"Hmm, looks like we've entered an alternate universe," said Rig. "A universe where everything is backwards."

"Backwards eh?" said Miz. "Well this is the best place to conquer earth! But who can do it?

He looks at Skoodge.

"Ah ha!" he shouted.

A large gun comes out of his PAK and aims it at Skoodge. Skoodge begins to grow. His uniform tears apart and crashes through the front house.

"Excellent!" said Miz. "I'll use a monster to destroy the city!"

He aims at Skoodge again. Skoodge grows and grows until he was the size of a monster. He smashes his way from the neighborhood and into the big city. On the streets, Zim and Gir hears the ground shaking.

"What is that noise?" said Zim in shock.

He looks up and see's Skoodge, who is now a gigantic Irken monster destroying everything in his path.

"That monster looks familiar," he said. "Its SKOODGE!!!!! Those evil guys have followed me back into my own reality somehow! First, I must stop Skoodge! Gir, take me back to the base!"

He gets on Gir and they took off. Back at the base, Miz hears a beeping noise. He reaches for his PAK and takes out his detector.

"Irken vessel detected 5 miles away," said a computerize voice in the detector.

"Hmm, lets find out," said Miz. "Rig! Activate your rocket boosters! Bluester! Come on!

He and Bluester boards on Rig and they took off. Seconds later, Zim and Gir arrives at their base. Zim gets off and inspects the house's damage.

"My base is a complete mess!" screamed Zim. "Skoodge must have done this. I got to stop him! MINIMOOSE!!

MiniMoose arrives.

"squeak," said MiniMoose

"You and Gir must protect the base from any enemy activity."

"Yes sir!" said Gir in duty mode.

"squeak" said MiniMoose.

Zim goes in the house. The roof opens up and his Voot Curiser comes and flies away. Zim flies back to the city coming face-to-face with Skoodge.

"Alright Skoodge! Prepare for your destruction!

Zim fires energy balls at Skoodge(not to destroy him, but to make him lose his balance). Skoodge tumbles by the blast but was able to stand. Skoodge them gives a fist to Zim's ship. The Voot Cruiser rolls around uncontrolably but Zim manages to stablelize it. Zim flies his Voot high above a tall building.

This makes Skoodge roar madly and climbs on the building in a King Kong style and reaches for the top. Back in the neighborhood, Miz, Rig, and Bluester arrives at Dib's house which was where the unknown vessel is located.

"Its somewhere in that garage," said Miz.

He and his sidekicks enter the garage and finds something coverd in a sheet. Miz uncovers it and reveals Tak's ship.

"Hmm... this ship needs renovations," he said to himself. "Rig, your're going to help me ronovate this ship. Bluester!"

Bluester looks at Miz. The enlargement gun that Miz used earlier comes out of his PAK and aims at Bluester. Bluester grew to the size of a giant monster. He is much bigger than Skoodge.

"Now go and destroy everything!" shouted Miz.

Bluester obeys and heads off for destruction. Miz turns back to the ship. Suddenly, the ship comes to life.

"AHH! INTRUDERS!! said Tak's ship.

It takes out its claws and hits Miz and Rig.

"This ship is alive! said Miz in shock.

"You aliens might have been clever for robbing me, but now you will pay!!!" said the ship.

It begins firing at Miz and Rig. They hid behind a stack of boxes.

"I must disable that malfuctioning ship," Miz said to himself. "Thats it!"

He reaches for his PAK and takes out his weapon, the disabler. He comes out and comes face-to-face with Tak's ship.

"Hey!" shouted Miz.

The ship looks at him. Miz aims at it and shoots electromagnetic bolts from the disabler at the ship. The ship begins to get weaker and weaker until it can no longer move. Then it shuts down.

"Yes!" shouted Miz. "Now we can renovate the ship!"

Back in the city, Zim was still fighting against the monsterous Skoodge who is now on top of the tall building. Zim aims at the building's mid-section and shoots energy balls at it. This causes the mid-section to slice apart. Skoodge falls to the ground. Zim comes close to the beaten up Irken monster.

"He unconscious!" said Zim. "Now I have to shrink and dehypnotize him."

Two guns comes out of the Voot Cruiser. The one on the left is the shrinking gun. The one on the right is the dehypnotizer. Zim aims at Skoodge and shoots orange and blue lasers at him. Skoodge begins to shrink and shrink until he was back to normal. He begins to stir.

"Huh?, where am I?" he said weakily.

He looks at Zim.

"Zim, is that you? What happened?" said Skoodge.

He stands up and looks down.

"Ah! Where's my uniform?!" said Skoodge blushing.

"Relax," said Zim. "You were transformed into a monster by Miz. Lets go back to the base to get you a new uniform."

Skoodge gets inside Zim's Voot Curiser. As they were flying, the ship got knocked by something and begins to spin uncontrolably. Zim stablelizes the ship and turns to see bluester who is now a giantic monster.

"Great, Now I have to face against another monster! I think Miz is trying to challenge me!" said Zim.

Zim shoots energy balls and electric missles at Bluester. It works, but Bluester tries to hit the Voot Cruiser, but Zim evades the monster's giantic hand. They continued to fight on. Back in Dib's garage, Miz and Rig have already completed the renovations on Tak's ship. Its dark red color was replace by purple and Tak's Irken symbol was replaced by Miz's. It was just like the original symbol, but the attenneas are raged and there is a mark on the forehead representing Miz's scar.

Miz and Rig gets inside their new ship and blasts off. Back in the city, Zim and Skoodge were still fighting against Bluester. He became weak after a series of balls and missles. Zim fires the last shot and Bluester faints and falls to the ground.

"Finally!" shouted Zim. "Lets go back to the base."

The Voot Curiser speeds off heading into the sunset.
