Zim didn't come to school that day. This made Dib get a little worried. Zim couldn't be up to something already, could he? But he took his mind off of it and started working on his daily work. It seemed as though Zim was just skipping school today, until English class when Mr. Coffins announced that they were going to watch a video on the most boring english textbooks of all time when the TV made a couple beeping sounds. This was followed by everybody's cell phones going off, even Dib's and Mr. Coffins'. Then, a symbol that Dib knew all too well appeared on the screens of the cell phones and the TV-Zim's infamous symbol.
Suddenly, the cell phones and TVs of the school started attacking the students and teachers, while the students and teachers started running for their lives. Dib reached for his watch to try and contact Gaz but it tried to attack him so he ran to look for her. He found his little sister just after she destroyed her own cell phone in the hall outside her locker. Gaz said to Dib,
"Five bucks says this has something to do with Zim." Dib nodded and ran off. Surprisingly, Gaz ran after him. When they got to the parking lot outside, they were surprised to see that most of the cars were attacking the students as well, including Dib's car as soon as it saw them (now that Dib thought about it afterwards, most of the cars students used nowadays were electric). So, Dib and Gaz started running for their lives.
Of course, anybody with brains would know that a car could easily out-pace a human being. This is what happened. As soon as the car as right behind Dib and Gaz, the car gave an extra boost of speed so that it would be ahead of the teens. As soon as it was, it opened its doors, waiting for Dib and Gaz to crash inside. Which they did. They didn't see that the car was right in front of them until they crashed into the car and seat belts tied them to their respective seats (Dib in the drivers, Gaz in the shotgun). As soon as they were tied, the car zoomed away towards who-knows-where.
"Hey! We're stuck! Get us out of here!" Gaz cried. Dib was in too much of a shock to say anything. As he looked around him, he saw that the whole world was being terrorized by their own electronics, from GameSlaves to cellphones to even toasters. Dib's car just kept speeding faster and faster until it reached some sort of radio station far away from Hi-Skool. The car didn't stop at the parking lot of the radio station. It kept climbing up the stairs of the radio station, all the way to the top. There, at the top, waited Zim without his disguise. Both human teens were in shock. Zim has grown a lot, and not just in height. He didn't wear his dress anymore, but more of a pink muscle shirt with a pink jacket that had two tail-ends in the back. The rest of his outfit (gloves, pants, boots) was black. Zim evilly laughed as Dib's car set down the teens in a cage.
"What do you think, Dib-stink? Using your most valuable resources against you sure does take its toll, doesn't it?" Dib didn't listen, but instead tried to get out of the cage. Unfortunately, Zim was smarter, so he only smirked when Dib touched the bar. Dib noticed Zim's smirk and didn't understand what it was about until the bar he touched nearly electrocuted him in greeting. Finally, Dib decided now was the time to say something.
"You won't get away with this...this...whatever this is Zim!" he cried. Zim covered his mouth with his claws, obviously trying not to laugh. Gaz did a face-palm from behind him. Realizing that was not the smartest thing to say, Dib covered up his stupidity by asking, "What is this, anyway?" Zim shrugged and replied, "Like I'll tell you." This certainly surprised Dib. "Wh-why?"
"Because, once I would tell you, you'd somehow miraculously find a way to stop me. That's how it always worked in the old days."
"What if I annoyed the hell out of you? Then would you tell me?"
"No...I'd more likely destroy you."
"Why haven't you done so already?"
"I was afraid you'd never ask!" Zim smirked and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the cage seperated into two, also seperating Dib and Gaz. Instinctively, Dib reached for his little sister, but Gaz seemed to hesitate. Then, Zim took what appeared to be a ray filled with blue energy. He aimed the ray at Dib and pressed the trigger.
