Zim sat alone in the prison cell, this time his hands tied behind his back. He couldn't believe he had sacrificed himself to save the Dib-filth! No, he didn't do it for him, he did it for her. Gaz was safe now. That was the main thing.

He knew what was coming next. He was going to be taken to the Tallest and put on trial and re-classified as a defect. He could be deleted and disposed of. That was that. He accepted it, no he wasn't happy with it but... he was happy with the amount he'd done before hand. He wouldn't be forgotten, he was ZIM!

(The Show Must Go On - Queen)

Zim:

Back in this cell, there's no point no more,

Abandoned defect, I think I know the score,

All in all, do I really care anymore?

Another failure, another painful end,

At least she's safe now, with Tak and Dib-worm,

I was right, now she's safe I don't care what happens to me.

The Tallest will pay! I guarantee that, yeah!

Inside my heart is breaking, I don't even have one but the point, it still stands!

He was hoisted from his cell and dragged along the passageways by two large armed Irkens with their weapons aimed at his PAK. He smirked to himself as he was lead into the Trial room.

Whatever happens, I'll leave it too the Trial,

Another loss and, another failed mission,

Oh my Irk! Is there any point in this stupid trial now?

I guess I'm learning, things aren't what they seem.

I'll soon be gone and, my PAK destroyed.

Up there the Tallest await me.

But down here I am longing to get outta here.

I'm no invader! I'm just a defect, right?

I know that I'm not normal, I may not be how they, want me to be.

Wait! No...

I've made my mark on this world and on Earth,

I've made some enemies and found a life to care for,

I will die I know, and it's coming now, right?

I've had an adventure, now here comes the trial, I'm never giving in!

That's just me...

I've topped the bill, I'm had my fun, I've done the right thing for once in my life...

I AM ZIM!

The Tallest rose from the elevator and grinned smugly down at Zim.

"Ready Zim?" Red asked.

"The trial is just another formality of course. Once a defect always a defect." Purple added.

"Any last words, Zim?"

Zim looked up from his restraints and smirked, "My Tallest... I quit."
