Wendy and Tak were locked in a duel with Wendy grabbing her ax back from a cultist that held her weapon after kicking her in the guts. She managed to give Tak a punch making her startled over, the female Irken wiped a bright pink blood from her lips and grunted.

"Oh you're good, you were trained to survive." She commanded Jeff to jump at Wendy's face, which made her struggle.

"But…I was trained to win!" She bolted at the Corduroy girl as she finally tossed the mind controlled gnome away and when she saw Tak' spider legs coming to impale her she dodged, jumped and ducked though a scratch was made on her wrist making her grunt in pain.

Wendy, holding her injury, gritted her teeth at Tak "I'll show you how good I am once I've torn your smug superior face off!" She snarled as she and the purple eyed Irken continued their intense fight.

Their fight brought them walking away from the room into an almost dark hallway being so engrossed in fighting, yet Wendy was beginning to slowly lose as her Lumberjack skills were not a match to the training of an Invader who would use any dirty trick to win. Including throwing dirt at Wendy's face and then with one sharp spiked extra limb pinned her from her right shoulder to the wall making her cry in pain.

"Well, that was quite a warm up!" Tak dragged her up a bit while she herself came closer a bit high enough for eyes to meet. Even in her vulnerable state the human refused to show fear gritting her teeth staring in defiance even biting her own tongue from giving her the satisfaction of letting out a painful cry while with her other hand that holding her ax she tried to throw it at her with a swing which the purple Irken quickly swat her weapon away with another robotic limb and in retaliation impaled her hand on the palm making her cry once more.

"Had you been born an Irken, I am sure you would have made an excellent elite."

Wendy growled back "Well…flattered but not wanted, you hideous cockroach!"

Tak smirked as she then causally dodge a spit coming at her face from the redhead human and continued to speak "But unfortunately…you were born weak, and you'll die weak!" she commanded a spider leg to come down toward the Corduroy's face coming to impale her head but before it could end the lumberjill's life something hit something tossed hit Tak's face causing her to reel back and losing her grip on the injured human. It was a stone hit her at her head giving a wound that was pink in Irken blood.

Tak, holding her head with a growl, looked back and saw the assailant to be none other than the bane of her life, the ever obnoxious Zim.

"Hey Tak! If you are so much of an 'Invader' not an over glorified janitor, fight with a fellow Invader instead of a weakling pitiful orangutan whose sole purpose is to laze around and date genetically defunct matches like a sloth with no sense for choosing a proper mate to pass her slothful genes!"

If Wendy wasn't busy nursing her shoulder and hand she would have given some strong words to Zim.

The purple Invader hissed "With your PAK's capabilities deactivated, you're- " Jeff got projectile at her which she hastily moved away and began hissing at him "Miserable wretch!" while Jeff upon hitting the ground hissed like a rodent and moved on all 4 running away.

"An Invader uses anything in access as a weapon, Tak. Or were you sleeping over the class when dreaming about becoming an Invader?!" Zim taunted her.

She growled at him " Fine, then I will enjoy breaking your limbs by myself, Defective Drone!" She then grabbed the caught off guard Corduroy and launched her at Zim who ducked away while Wendy rolled over the ground as she groaned.

Tak jumped with all four spider legs with their end sharp tails coming to eviscerate Zim who darted away while ordering Wendy "Wen-gutan! Go back lick your wounds with the rest of your pitiful species! TAK IS MINE!" He then pulled the lever of a contraption resulting in a gate door coming down and separating Zim and Tak from Wendy.

The redhead teen got up and muttered "Bloody Irkens…" seeing that she was no use she decided to go back joining others.

Jessica hiding behind the table half-topside table half-shrieked with the most Karen voice her vocal cords could produce "IF I LOSE EVEN A HAIR HERE I WILL CANCEL YOUR ENTIRE SOCIAL MEDIA DIB!"

"Good God, was I such a Karen before!?" Pacifica next to Jessica blanked at her, who looked very offended.

Fidds, after some tampering, finally with a few kicks cut off the power and the braces that held Mabel trapped on the chair opened so she immediately jumped out in relief and as gratitude hugged him "Oh thank you! I thought I was gonna be roasted human beef!"

Mind controlled Lee and Nate showed up which Fiddelford reacted by pushing Mabel away from harm's reach as they had tools to use as melee weapons from a toolbox, next McGucket dodged one of their attacks, grabbed the cable that had electricity on and put it between himself and the coming attacks from Nate and Lee's blunt weapons resulting in them spasming and then falling back from the shock of the conducted electricity.

Mabel squinted a bit and said rather carefully as she noticed the mad inventor looked at their still spazzing bodies with cold satisfaction "…Are you still mad about 'Mcsuck it' graffiti last summer they made on your- "

"Yeah." McGucket rather flatly answered with no shame.

Manly Dan and his boys turned out to be too stubborn to snap back so they were knocked unconscious by the Multi-Bear and carried to where the rest were, not before the Corduroys kicked Robbie repeatedly while he was in a fetus position like a homeless man victimized by thugs in a dark alley of course. "Ow…I've been brutalized!" The Valentino boy mumbled with a hoarse voice.

"Whiner." Gaz snarked at him while dragging his still unmoving body being in too much pain to either object or move.

Dipper, seeing Wendy limping and her injury, quickly came and helped her to move from shoulder "Wendy! You alright? You're injured!" but then a mind controlled Manotaur came to roadkill them with his horns only to be then stopped by Gir who flew over with his activated jets hitting the beastman so hard that the hybrid reeled back with an animalistic growl.

"I'M A COWBOY NOW!" Gir chirped happily as he then began riding the now thrashing mythological creature by his horns.

"Oh this? This is just a scratch! Nothing serious." The Corduroy girl jested to the Pines boy despite her condition.

"What happened to the 'Don't be Itchy Man?' Are you really gonna shrug off your bleeding??" Dipper responded which made her snort.

When they reached each other, Dipper gently put her down and went to help her bandage her injuries and fortunately there were duct tapes here to get.

Fiddleford after helping Mabel went for the contained Minimoose who was clearly uncomfortably with so many wires and tubes attached to it; however, there were a few cultists guarding it which fortunate for him were throttled away when Gir riding the feral

Half-breed rushed toward them and ran others away. Still, when Fidds tried reaching Minimoose he was suddenly shocked back making him yelp. "AH! Sonova raccoon!" He held his shocked hand. "I need time to figure it out!" He shouted out to others.

Tambry, still brainwashed, was struggling as she was now held by the freakishly strong Gaz and Smacky while near was Dipper bandaging Wendy.

"Guh! Anyone have any ideas how to wake up the feral beauty!?" The Purple Membrane sarcastically asked. That was when Gir still riding on the hybrid crashed land it to a wall knocking the mythological humanoid unconscious from the collision so powerful that dust came and the wall broke.

The crazy robot came down and with a hand held up like an excitable child as she came "Oh oh! Let me awaken the sleepy beauty!"

The deranged SIR unit with no warning kissed Tambry on the mouth causing Robbie, Dipper and Wendy eyes' to bulge out and Gaz to look like she was having PTSD at seeing that while Mabe's jaw fell so did the other Skoolmates. That caused Tambry to wake up and when she did her eyes widen in horror and in reaction tossed out Gir who had a face that said 'Mission Accomplished!'.

"AH- BLAH!- AH! WHYYYY!?!?!" Tambry cried out in dismay as she kept spitting and gagging like she just kissed by a trashcan which was technically true.

"Babe are you okay?" Robbie in concern asked her as she came near her with a hand on her shoulder.

"I was kissed by an insane trashcan! What do YOU think!?" Tambry snapped back at her boyfriend and slapped his hand away.

"Hehehe!" Gir giggled.

"Ugh, not again!" Gaz gaggled in disgust recalling when Gir forced her to dance while undoing Tak's plan first time around.

"Love is the antidote to all pain!" Gir made smooching face at the direction of the Skoolmates who were quick in apprehension to reject his 'Smooching' therapy.

"No no no no!" Poochy reeled back.

"No thanks!" Zita was a bit loud in politely rejecting his offer.

"I'm healthy enough!" Smacky with hands flaining said.

"No thank you!" Letter M rejected

"I don't kiss robots!" Letty almost shrieked.

Carl nearly dropped his hat when he jumped back.

Penny's face looked like she was offered a pizza made of bugs.

Peyoopi suspiciously didn't seem to mind the offer.

"Kiss me you little psycho and I will sue you for the assault!" Jessica threatened.

Gir then glanced back to Wendy seeing that she was injured, he thought she needed her help the most "Wanna have kiss Gwen!?! " He began moving toward Wendy who immediately reeled back and stood up.

"Oh nonono! I'm good I'm good no need for that!" Wendy was a bit too soon in rejecting Gir's offer losing her cool facade due to being perturbed by this. It would have been amusing for Tambry seeing her normally cool-headed friend half-stammering a bit in apprehension if she still didn't taste rusted iron, expired taco and gasoline.

"Aw! But I wanna know what peppermint skin tastes like!" the said insane trashcan giggled.

"WHY ARE YOU SO WEIRD!?" Tambry and Robbie shrieked at the crazy robot at the same time who kept giggling.

"Wait…WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN!?' Dib shouted out in scandalization and looked at Gaz so as the other Skoolmates.

"Let's not talk about it." The purple Membrane told him to not question.

"But- !"

"LET'S NOT FUDGING TALK ABOUT IT!" she snarled with gritted teeths which shut him up good and stopped any other Skoolmates from trying to question it.

Tak was currently shooting Zim who ducked and covered her with a blaster, damn that Defect for his agility!

"A Defective Drone is no match for me! I was tested in the most grueling ways in Devastis while you were busy cashier-working on Foodcourtia!" She kept shooting at him. She made sure the heat of her blaster adjusted to give him a nasty burn not kill him, she wanted him to suffer before ending him. Of course she hacked the nanites in his blood, but they were only spread in his Squeedily Spooch and parts of the PAK not his brain where his consciousness commanded and made choices, though yes she could simply make him unable to move yet when she took control to her internal curse she most have damaged the nanites a bit for hacking them rather bluntly as some commands like electrifying him or turn on every pain nerves were out of access or else she would have Zim paralyzed.

"Ha! says the Over Glorified Janitor!" He sneered back.

"Give up Defect! Your pet's energy source is mine very soon. You're only deceiving yourself thinking you can stop my inevitable triumph and your allies will soon be overwhelmed."

—--

More of the minions got snapped back to reality.

Jeff upon seeing Dib screeched like a scared cat, "YOU! THE CRAZED BOY THAT NEARLY VIVISECTED ME!!!"

Which caused the Skoolmates to give Dib a questioning look as he looked sheepish.

Dipper managed to snap back Tad Strange from his mind control due to having an obsessive love for bread "MINE!" He held the said bread rather possessively after Dipper grabbed a sandwich which one of the Skoolmates had around his nose.

"Aw my lunch…." Penny whined seeing her lunch now in the hands of a full adult who was acting like a Gollum around her sandwich.

"I'm starting to have second thoughts about Tad being the only normal inhabitant of Gravity Falls…" Wendy commented drily.

Fidds had no success in getting Minimoose out as there was electricity coursing through the robot and the device attached to it was written in Irken and while he was a brilliant engineer he was no linguistic much less alien language and Zim was not there to help.

"Ah shucks!" Fiddleford cursed in frustration.

"Hurry up, McGucket! We are being surrounded!" Dipper called out as more minions and cultists were surrounding the group soon they would overwhelm them.

"I'm trying!"

Crackle

Suddenly, crackling purple electricity began to show around Minimoose as it gave a whined "Nyah!"

"That's not good…" Fiddleford noted knowing this could not be good.

The crackling became more and more as lines of bright purple around Minimoose lit up and was becoming lighter and lighter until its eyes glowed as well.

"NYAAAAAAAH!" The robot shrilled until it was enveloped into purple light.

CRACKLE

A brilliant explosive purple energy exploded hurling back the old Inventor due to its shockwave and everyone as well while shielding their eyes.

"We're too late…!" Dib in defeat said as the purple energy released wave after wave while turning his head away due to its blinding light with a hand near his face.

Zim and tak felt the surge of the energy waving while Tak laughed triumphant while she felt incredible energy coursing through her implant, her eyes radianting in purple. She never felt so alive.

"YES! I HAVE WON!" She roared triumphantly. Wasting no time, she sent a whole psychic shockwave to take control of every living being in the underground. This time she can mind control everyone completely not merely change their perception or trick their minds while at the same time hurling back Zim sending him rolling over.

"Ow! My Squeedily Spooch!" The Defective Drone wailed as he was hit hard to the wall and dropped his eye lenses and wig in the process.

But something went wrong, as the psychic command instead of enslaving every mind it reached, it did the opposite and instead freed every minion she already had, breaking the spell casted on them. And her newfound power, just as fast as it came, dimmed.

"What!? No! No!" Tak wailed in dismay as the glow of her eyes dimmed "How could this be!? I was winning!"

"No Tak…" Zim rose up with a maniacal glee that instead of looking comedic was intimidating, no longer having his disguise his magenta eyes glinted in the shadow casted on the upper half of his body. "You played yourself!" To her shock, not only Zim but also got up with his activated spider legs. He began monologuing as Tak was left dumbfounded.

"I knew your obsessive hatred for me would blindside you into tunnel vision! I know you would utilize your abilities to their fullest extent just to end me, thus I knew you couldn't be tempted by not witnessing my demise personally by yourself."

As Zim taunted he slowly menacingly walked toward the startled Tak with his extra limbs like the coming of a spider that waited for its prey and now had its prey in its webs.

"You thought I wouldn't be able to detect YOU'RE last night surveillance balefully watching my magnificent singing?" he made tsk noises "Did you think I would give in to my fate as being enslaved and imprisoned by these animals? I have been tirelessly working to get rid of the damnable nanobots they dared to sully in my body with limited resources, did you forget? I was top of the class in xenotechnology. It takes more than mere small robots to lock up Zim forever! But I needed you to give you a false sense of security when you captured me, you could have killed me when you had the chance but no you were too obsessed with me to kill me swiftly." Tak brought her blaster up to shoot him but then one of Zim's spider limbs causally swat her blaster away then he bolted toward her with his sharped end of his extra limbs which she responded by jumping up and hanging on the roof with her extra limbs like a spider. "Did you really think I wouldn't make countermeasures in my creations after last time stealing my creation for your own agenda? I've put a scrap code in Minimoose just in case."

Tak opened her mouth to send another curse but then stopped herself and inhaled "Well played….I'm so glad that— " using the few drops of the power she surged which she contained to use it to mind control Zim, though the said reserved power were merely drops it was enough to mind control one sentient being completely "-- YOU'RE SEEING THINGS MY WAY!" she used her implant on him yet to her shock it had no effect, scratch that it was as if Zim didn't even exist as if he hid his own mind signature. Sure she faced beings that resisted her mind altering implant but never one she couldn't even reach much less detect.

"Why isn't…!"

"You talked about your implant, remember?" Zim pointed an index at his own head "You were particularly very very proud of that little trinket. Did you honestly think that I Zim wouldn't take some precautions for it?"

Tak stupefied sputtered in pure incomprehension "Y-you…actually were listening!? B-but you never listen to anyone…acknowledged…cranium as thick as…" then she snarled back like a cornered injured animal and jumped down to take Zim who was quick to move away "NO! It isn't fair! You never listened to anyone! You never had so much foresight! Anyone but your own delusions of grandeur!"

CLANK!

One of Zim's robot legs landed hard on the ground near her, making her drop on her back.

Zim's face turned dark devoid of any boast or mirth and for the first time ever Tak shuddered from the normally incompetent and delusional Invader who looked as if he became an entirely different person. Not a buffoon that causes accidents by tripping, but for a fracture of a moment a snarling beast that no longer played around.

"I MADE MY MISTAKES! One of them was not making sure you were done by MYSELF!" Zim snarled, his alien tongue hissed like a snake.

Tak gritted her teeths and snarled back.

"I will not lose! Not when I'm this close! Especially not by a defective drone!"

"What makes you think that you have a say in this matter? Little Janitor." Zim sneered reminding her of her assignment on Planet Dirt, goading her into attacking which he succeeded as she shrieked in rage and attacked.

One word to describe what was happening here was pandemonium, absolute pandemonium.

All of the Minions now snapping back to reality and turned their revenge against the cultists: from Jeff and a group of Gnomes biting down a cultists while the said cultists tried to get them off as if he was trying to get rid of a feral cat, a few running surprisingly fast thanks to having a pissed off Manotaur rushing toward them and Unicorns just in the fit of panic both because of the situation and thanks to Gir running around like headless chickens.

That said, it didn't mean they were winning as there were an equal number of cultists to ex-mind controlled minions.

Dib saw Dipper with Gretchen, Mabel and Fiddleford surrounded by a group of cultists, clearly the cultists had a beef with the Pines and McGucket mostly for being the ones responsible for near complete dissolution of the Society Of Blind Eye.

Fidds was holding a wrench and waved it around wildly to get the cultists away from reaching them, while within his other hand was the liberated Minimoose under his armpit who looked dizzy considering just moments ago it was used as a literal battery.

Dipper lost his Magnet Gun so he was using a piece of metal lying around as an attack stick ready to use.

Mabel held her signature grappling hook pointing it left and right "Get back poopfaces! I have a grappling hook and I'm not afraid to use it!"

Some cultists mockingly laughed at her response.

Gretchen was the only one defenseless hiding behind the three.

Dib wasn't gonna allow his only best friend ever and the only person who not only believed in him but didn't mocked him over it to be in danger, also because as much he found Mabel a bit much at first she did warmed up to him, Fidds as far as he seen can be considered as an engineer rivaling his father which was nice for once not being looked down upon by someone of high scientific position in 'Real-Science' and yes there is also Gretchen who was one of the very few Skoolmates who didn't keep harassing him.

So with a roar with his bag he jumped before Gaz could stop him with a hand extended "LEAVE MY BEST FRIEND ALONE YOU HOODED WEIRDOS!" He could practically hear his sister Gaz sighing somewhere far away.

Gaz's extended hand fisted as she grunted in annoyance "That idiot is gonna get himself killed one day I swear to Bloaty…" then began following him.

With a deep breath, Dib swung his backpack around, using its weight to his advantage. He charged at the nearest cultist, swinging the bag like a hefty weapon. The cultist barely had time to react before the pack collided with them, causing them to stumble backward.

"Take that, betrayers of humanity!" Dib yelled, feeling a rush of confidence as he shifted his focus to another cultist, launching his bag again. He managed to send a second cultist sprawling into the nearest wall, the sound of their body hitting the brick echoed throughout the underground.

Dib threw punches with wild fervor, each strike fueled by the desperation to protect his best friend. He dodged a wild swing from a cultist, retaliating with another uncontrolled swing of his backpack that caught a cultist in the face. The enemy stumbled, disoriented, while Gaz called out tactical advice from the sidelines.

"Dib! Behind you!" Gaz shouted, delivering a spinning kick to another cultist before turning to deal with yet another wave. Dib followed her cue, swinging his bag to fend off would-be attackers. He swung the backpack like a crazy weapon, occasionally grabbing random items from it—like a science textbook and a jar of pickles—and using them to smack away cultists with bewildering effectiveness. The Pines, Fidds and Gretchen were also bewildered at them as well.

"Siblings get things done..." It was all the old inventor could say.

In the midst of the chaos, Dib spotted Gretchen struggling against two cultists holding her. With renewed determination, he charged forward, swinging the bag wildly as he neared them. The bag caught one cultist squarely in the ribs, making him double over, leaving him momentarily incapacitated.

But just as he seemed to be gaining the upper hand, one cultist lunged toward Gretchen, still trying to break free. Dib's instincts kicked in, and without thinking, he leaped forward, tackling the cultist. In the fray, his backpack swung open, spilling out a multitude of odd items—a half-eaten sandwich, an old action figure, and a mysterious potion he'd been working on for one of his experiments.

Grabbing a nearby sharp object that had slipped from the cultist, he awkwardly used it to cut through the ropes binding Gretchen, only to accidentally slice through the cultist's robe, exposing a hideous tattoo that writhed beneath the skin. The cultist shrieked in sheer horror, stumbling back in a mix of fright and confusion, colliding with their fellows, and causing a ripple of chaos among their ranks.

Realizing the tide was turning, the remaining cultists began to retreat in fright, while Gaz side-kicked the last one, sending them sprawling into her brother's open backpack, the items scattering everywhere, leaving behind disarray in the alley.

When the dust settled, Gretchen was free, and Dib stood there, panting heavily, his backpack completely disheveled, but his spirit unbroken. With an attempt to keep the light-heartedness alive, he grinned awkwardly at the awed group, "Well… I would say I'm traumatized, but I've had worse life-dangering encounters."

Slap!

Gretchen slapped Dib across his face so hard that his face moved his left and then suddenly Gretchen grabbed his collar and kissed him on the lips so hard that it was audible while Dib's eyes were so widened in shock that it was like they were gonna pop out of his skull any second.

Mabel meanwhile saw that held a fist and shot it up "YES! LOVE FINDS A WAY!"

"Bleh!" Gaz gagged, she did not need to see her brother having some action as she muttered under her breath, "They're both hopeless."

The Skoolmates who were from the other side seeing that had a varied reaction of Gaz's bleaching, neutrality and envy.

"I'm gonna die a virgin." Carl, depressed, said seeing Dib the pariah of Skool having a girl advancing at him when he is not.

Chunk along with the bullies who bully Dib were gaping, unable to believe Dib of all people would get a girlfriend without even trying.

"Uhm, good for them?" Zita unsurely commented.

"Hehe, Nice man." Wendy gave a thumbs up though winced in pain since that came from the shoulder that got injured by Tak.

Pacifica muttered to herself with jealousy but for different reasons "Why couldn't it be me and Dipper…"

The underground tunnels were dark and damp, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and the echoes of distant drips. Zim and Tak faced each other, the tension crackling like static between them. Zim's eyes glinted with determination, his fists clenched at his sides, ready to defend his honor against the relentless engineering of Tak.

"Prepare to meet your end, Zim!" Tak snarled, her slender figure illuminated by the faint flicker of her wrist communicator. Energy pulsed around her as she monitored the structural integrity of the cavern, mentally calculating the perfect moment to unleash her fury.

"End? Not likely! I'm ZIM!" he retorted, a manic grin spreading across his green face. Without warning, Tak launched herself at him with blurring speed, her agility creating a wave of air that whipped past his face.

Their battle erupted in a fierce exchange of blows. Tak expertly dodged Zim's attacks, her movements sharp and calculated. She countered with a series of swift kicks, aiming to disarm him. Zim barely managed to evade, the power of his own determination fueling him.

"Is that all you've got?" Zim taunted, dodging another kick and retaliating with a blast from his wrist blaster. The energy bolt struck the ground near Tak, sending up a cloud of dirt and rocks. She staggered back but quickly regained her composure, her eyes narrowing in focus.

"You underestimate me, Zim! This time, I will not fail!" Tak growled, and with a determined sweep of her arm, she activated a small mining drone hidden within her gear. It whirred to life and began to drill into the ground, destabilizing the very earth they fought upon.

"Stop that!" Zim shouted, scrambling to keep his balance as the ground beneath them shook. Rocks began to fall, dust swirling chaotically around them. With a final, overwhelming push, Tak redirected the energy of the drill, causing a massive surge that sent Zim crashing into the loose earth.

The ground crumbled and collapsed, burying Zim beneath a pile of rubble. Tak stood over the crushed remains of the tunnel, breathing heavily, a victorious smirk crossing her features. "Finally, you're gone, Zim. You're nothing but a pathetic memory," she declared, convinced of her triumph.

For a moment, silence enveloped the underground chamber, interrupted only by the sounds of distant echoes. But then, a rumble emerged from the rubble. Dust settled, and slowly, a shadow began to rise from the debris.

With a triumphant shout, Zim emerged, disheveled but very much alive. The remnants of the collapsed tunnel fell away, revealing him standing defiantly amid the chaos. His Pak blared to life, its mechanisms engaging with a whirring sound that echoed throughout the chamber.

"YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THE GREAT ZIM THAT EASILY!" he bellowed, his voice booming with energy and confidence, accompanied by the unmistakable sounds of his Pak charging up.

Tak's eyes widened in disbelief. "HOW!?!? HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!?!" she screamed, her bravado faltering for an instant.

"I…AM…ZIIIIIIIM!" he declared once more, raising his blasters and unleashing a series of blaster shots directly at her. The beams of energy raced through the air, illuminating the dark tunnel with flashes of light.

In a split-second reaction, Tak activated her emergency shield, a translucent barrier forming just in time to absorb the brunt of the energy blasts. The impact knocked her backward, sending her crashing against the tunnel wall.

The energy surge that shot from Zim into Tak was loud and the impact was so much that the wall around her dented and cracked. Unfortunately, Tak literally punched through two rooms one passing the ongoing Chaos of the other group with the said group exclaimed as all they saw was a blurry translucent barrier and an almost blinding beam of energy that drilled through walls, next it was the other was the now empty one where Dib nearly got his brain drained.

The shockwave, putting holes through structural integrity of the walls hence rocks and stones began falling from above as there was going to be a collapse.

"It's gonna go down!" Mabel noted while the cultists seeing this began scrambling and running back.

"Then let's go! I'm not dying to be buried under the freaking museum!" Pacifica shouted.

Everyone began running and those who needed help like Wendy were helped to get up and so as Keef who was still unconscious was dragged by Gaz. The Supernatural creatures were the fastest so they were way ahead of the humans.

While Dipper and Dib helped Wendy up to walk away during their scrambling, they saw a fractured hole from the other side of a stony wall where they saw a beaten up Tak who held her hands on her head still sitting on the ground not caring.

"COME ON! GET OUT! THIS PLACE GONNA CRUMBLE!" Dib called Tak to get up and run but she either did not hear him or did not care too busy having a breakdown.

The Purple Irken heed no mind stucking in her own world mumbling like a broken man "No…I planned everything! Zim never showed any amount of foresight! He's a defective drone, not even a real Invader, it's not fair! He destroyed all my efforts effortlessly in minutes! 'm a failure…a disgraceful failure to the Irken Empire, I should have stayed on Dirt cleaning dirt!"

"HEY NOT THE TIME TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN!" Dib called her up hoping by getting a raise from her she would get up which did not work receiving no reaction.

A boulder came down and sealed the hole leaving Irken to her fate.

"She's lost, we have to go!" Wendy grunted.

"Wait! What about Zim!?" The Membrane boy remembered that the delusional Invader was nowhere to see.

"And Gir! I can't see him!" Mabel cried out, unable to sew any sign of them.

"I can't see the mini-moose thing!" Fiddelford noted that it too disappeared.

"If they have any survival instinct unlike her, he would get out too, now go!" The redhead reasoned and told the boys to continue moving.

Unluckily, as the rocks were falling down one of them came to crush them while Mabel and others exclaimed both at the coming rocks and something big coming fast in a jump.

SNARL

A very familiar snarl came as a giant blue monster came smacking the coming rocks away and landing on its feet like a cat. The Snarl Beast has come.

"OH NO NOT AGAIN!" The big headed boy shrieked in fear of seeing the alien cat beast again while Wendy and Dipper along with Gaz were tense for round 2.

Until it was revealed that two very familiar old men were on the back of the beast..

"Hey kids! Need a hand?" Stan greeted back with a wave of his hand.

"Grunkle Stan! You're a monster rider!" Mabel happily chirped.

"What the heck is THAT!?" Jessica screeched back a feeling of apprehension shared by the other Skool kids.

"You better believe it kid!" Stan replied to his niece in pride.

Outside of the Museum, people were visiting the museum looking at the artifacts and stuff collected in this place to be seen not aware of the madness happening underground, that said their ignorance would be soon over as then a whole pack of supernatural creatures and a few cultists came out running while the unaware cried out in shock. Well, not everyone as some were used to the bizarreness of this town including the son of Fiddelford who upon seeing this simply sighed.

"I knew this day was getting too normal." Tate McGucket shook his head, though something did come that surprised him that being a furry monstrosity crashing through the much smaller entrance that was ridden by the Stans, a few kids he did not recognize and someone who he very much recognized.

Tate spit out his coffee and double takes "DAD!? What's going on here!?"

"It's a long story!" Fiddleford told his son while the beast rode away.

"It's always a long story with you!" Tate flailed his hands in exasperation while his father and others went away.

Outside of the Museum, the paranormal creatures ran away to the forest while the cultists were cornered by the local police.

"Move red ropes and you get tased!" Sheriff Blubs with his taser threatens them as armed as his partner Deputy Durland. There were more than them as there were more police forces with their weapons pointed at them. There weren't that many but after Weirdmageddon more police forces were hired.

The Cultists where detained and among them was now a looned and brain-drained Blind Ivan.

"I wanna be a professional sculpting cloud!" He proudly declared with a too cheerful tone while he was cuffed by Durland.

"These people have lost it." Durland shook his head.

On the other side of the Museum the group that rode on the beast avoiding rhe police as they ran toward the woods hiding there.

The group was no longer on the back of the beast as they were checking everyone with Stanley checking Wendy's injuries.

"I get that the government is following us poindexter, but I doubt Durland and Blubs would snitch at us. Was it necessary to anonymously contact them and avoid them?" Stan questioned while Wendy hissed in pain when he put disinfection on her injury.

Stanford with an expectant look said "It's Blubs and Durland, do you think they would be able to keep secrets?" He asked rhetorically.

"Good point." the conman Pines noded.

"Ow!" the rehead teen whined in pain.

"Oh stop moving! You're a Corduroy for Franklin's weirdly woman looking face sake." he held her steady to stop her from squirming.

"Speaking off…" Ford faked a cough and turned to the Skool kids "Now children, I trust that none of you would ever mention this? Considering the government is involved and well ... .I doubt they discriminate about sending children to a black site."He wasn't one to use terror tactics; however, he rather not have Government goons sniffing on him and his family.

The Skoolmates immediately reeled back and nodded in agreement with him.

"Good, with that out of the way- "

"Help."

He looked back and saw Dib frozen and petrified while Snarl Beast now in its cat form was nuzzling his head around his legs and purring like a…well a cat.

"Aww, he likes you!" The Pines girl gushed.

"Help me!" He half-whispered asked for help fearing if he moved wrongly the Snarl Beast would jump at his face and tear his skin off.

"I would have called that cute if I didn't see what that thing just was before." Zita sympathetically commented and shuddered at the memory of the monstrosity.

"Help me sis!"

Gaz was amused and gave a surrender gesture with her hands "You sure? You seem to be handling the beast well enough, after all you're the Paranormal Investigator."

"Traitor!" He gritted his teeth as he hissed.

Ford reassured him as he added in "We managed to snap the creature back from mind control. I realized that the creature was only acting out of despair and confusion with its mind clouded and its perception twisted and being feline with a likely keen sense of smell I brought one of your smelly coats for it to sniff."

"I smell?" Dib dubiously said while he sniffed his armpit.

"Apparently that overgrown feline has a fondness for you." Ley supported his twin's claim.

That was when Mabel noticed that there were scratch marks around right arm as if a rabid cat attacked him. "Did Snarl did- "

"You can thank that damn Demon Cat Robot thing for my new paint job!" he growled, mentioning Mimi and then held his injured arm.

Dib was still apprehensive about Snarl Beast who seemed taking a liking toward him, yet he was now less tense. Although, he still struggled to not make sudden moves around it. Mabel's look was encouraging him so he very hesitantly gently fearing that his hand would bite off if he did it suddenly he nuzzled its head which the blue cat responded by closing its eyes and purring with its head moving on the palm of his hand. The Pines girl gushed with her hands on her face while Dib was puzzled and raised his eyebrows.

Wendy now bandaged then pinched Dipper's shoulder after reaching to him

"Nice monster riding by the way, were you aiming to impress?" she teased reminding him of when he rode on the Multi-Head Bear.

Dipper looked confused until Wendy pointed him in a direction and when he glanced over and saw the look Pacifica and Skoolmate girls were giving him except for Gretchen with flustered eyes which made him sighed in defeat.

He sighed "I'm digging my grave, aren't I?"

Which made Wendy laugh.

As if it wasn't embarrassing enough, Multi-Bear showed up from a bush startling Melvin, Carl and Sara "I'm glad to have aided you in courting." the multi-headed creature said in support of who he considers as a friend until his many heads went back to the bush and disappeared.

Dipper groaned and Wendy's laughter went even higher and Mabel bursted so did Stanley with even Stanforr gave a few chuckles.

Robbie meanwhile was twitching his eyes in incomprehension of seeing Dipper being wanted by so many girls.

Tambry frowned at her boyfriend and smacked his shoulder in outrage "Are you SERIOUSLY being jealous of a 13 year old!?"

"No no I- !" Before the edgelord could finish his stammering defense, Tambry cut him off.

"Good God Wendy was right! You are insecure! I just came back from being brainwashed by a cult and then kissed by a psychotic robot and THAT'S WHAT YOU CARE!?" She shook her head and made her displeasure very clear "That's it! We are on a break!" she fummed and walked away.

"Babe come on!" Robbie began following her.

"Don't babe me you lousy big-nosed loof!"

"MY NOSE IS NOT BIG!" he vocalized in protest.

They continued arguing as they walked away while others stared at them.

"Can't believe I ever dated that guy." Wendy grumbled with a head down.

"I can't believe I ever felt threatened by him." Dipper fluttered his eyes, him being as unimpressed as her.

Gaz snorted " Oh please, emos like him are all bark no bite."

"At least he knows a thing about being called about the size of a body part…" Dib whispered with himself deadpan.

The big headed boy clapped his hands and then pointed them at Gretchen's direction seeing she was going with others "So ... you kissed me."

Gretchen's face blushed furiously as she recalled that she indeed kissed him and she herself could not believe that she actually did that.

"I- I- I WILLSEEYOU LATERIMSORRYIAHVETOGO!" She stuttered and ran away fast.

Lee snorted and gave a gentle hit at Dib's shoulder "Girls am I right? Can't live with them, can't comprehend them either."

All males nodded in agreement of that sentiment while all females frowned at that.

"We are literally here hearing you!" Pacifica exasperatedly threw her hands.

Poochy then pondered something "Wait…where is the bread freak- ?" before he could finish he got his answer.

"BREEEEEEEEEAD!" That was the howl of a bread obsessed man with crazed eyes from seeing his precious sandwich fall on the dirt. He looked back and howled once more "I HAVE TO SAVE ALL BREADS! BREAD FOR THE BREAD GOD! FLOUR FOR THE BREAD THRONE!" He then rushed like a crazed man who just ran from the mental asylum to where he would find bread.

Everyone stared in a pregnant pause at Tad as he ran and kept howling about bread.

"...That man is a mystery to me." Ford admitted.

"And they call me insane!" The Membrane boy whined.

"I wonder if his brain got damaged by all the mind-altering or he was always like that…." McGucket morbidly wondered as he scratched his long beard.

Jessica groaned with a hand on her face "This is soooo stupid! I'm out before all this stupidity can infect me as well!" She walked away and the Skoolmates began agreeing with her and following her.

"Yeah..." Blobby sighed.

"Yep."

Chunk lowered his head down in tiredness.

"Worst adventure in the history of worst adventures." Alex conceded

"I have been traumatized." Letter M deadpan stated.

Flan looked down.

Soon one by one the Skoolmates went away tired of all the insanities that happened today.

Gaz huffed a snark "Whiners."

"So…it was fun and all but I think we should go." Nate pointed in one direction and went.

"See ya later Doctor Funtime!" Lee said his goodbye fondly to Dipper as he followed Nate.

Pacifca rubbed her eyes as she recalled something "Ugh, I have to explain to my parents why I disappeared without any warning.." She grunted goodbye and went not looking forward to coming back home.

"Why so?" Dib asked.

"Well I am the daughter of the richest family in this damn weird town despite being downgraded from billionaires to millionaires, I'm guessing that's where that purple-eyed mantis got the money for her equipment and getting so many goons to join the cult of mind-lobotomy." she answered and then huffed with a dignifying stand "Later laborers." and then began moving.

That left the Membrane and Fallers with the addition of the Snarl Beast alone in awkward pause until Stanley broke the ice by clapping his hands.

"So…who's up for Pancakes?"

"Only if it's with syrup, Old Man." Gaz reluctantly agreed with that notion.

The Shack….

With that, the rest now tired went back to the Shack for pancakes, except for Fiddleford who returned to his Mansion likely to explain things to his son. But when they opened the door the lights inside were off and someone was already waiting for them.

There was a small monster with spider legs with sharp teeths grinning maniacally and insectoid magenta eyes ginting in the dark, a little robot with blank cyan eyes that told of insanity and ... .a floating Minimoose.

Ignoring the latter, the rest were an surprisingly intimidating sight to see in the dark of the Shack with no lights on

Dib jumped back in surprise and yelped.

"SONAVA CURSING CURSED WORDS!" Stan exclaimed in startelement.

Zim's robot legs moved disturbingly like a walking spider taking three steps "Did you REALLY think you could hold Zim here in this miserable wooden shack!? ZIM IS UNCONTAINABLE!" He snarled and activated his blasters coming from his Pak.

In response Wendy got tensed ready for round two despite her injuries, Dipper got between Zim and Mabel and Dib was gonna do that to his sister until Gaz moved him away not appreciating his protective gesture. Stanford immediately began hitting the screen of his wearable computer on his forearm; nevertheless, he looked confused as he saw it did not do anything on the Irken.

The Invader began circling around Ford and laughed mockingly "HAHAHAHA! FOOLISH HUMAN! Did you think your precious nano-machines could contain Zim forever!? I threw formulas when I was a mere smeet while you during your ugly baby phase were drinking milk and yet to learn bipedal locomotion!" The green alien then circled back to where he was and retracted his blasters back to his Pak and though he suppressed his shiver immediately when the Snarl Beast hissed at him "Don't worry, your pitiful 'cease fire' is on, but know this, you and your wretched family unit WILL rue the day you imprisoned Zima nd enslaved him as a cleaning drone! Especially you decrepit fossilized gorilla!" He pointed accusingly at Stanley who locked his arms in response.

Before Ley could snark, Ford held a hand on his shoulder telling him silently to leave this to him.

Dib was gonna retort back but Gaz's look told her that the elder scientist was speaking with a nod of her head to Ford's direction.

Stanford inhaled and what he said caught Zim flatfooted "Why?"

"Why what?" Zim confused, demands.

"Why do you try pleasing masters who would never truly value you for who you are? Why serve an empire that only sees you at best as a mere tool to be used and squandered away?" Dib told Stanford what he knew of the Irken Empire and learned other stuff from observing Zim and deciphering whatever babbles Gir said in his insane mumblings or Minimoose' very limited vocabulary. That and also his experience from his 'Muse' and seeing tyrannical empires during his 30 years of Dimension hopping he knew a thing or two about being snared by those who only pretend to care when they would happy sacrifice you when needed or show their true ugly face the moment you disagree with them.

Zim's confusion turned into outrage as he realized Ford was pitying him from his expression and he growled "What would you know!? How dare you try pitying Zim! What would a backwater ape know anything at all!?!" As he growled his face got closer to Ford by ordering his spider legs to bend forward and to his frustration while others tensed, despiste being only centimeters away from Stanford's face he didn't even flinch at having a snarling Irken with his sharp teeths near his face.

"There was a visionary young man jaded by his own society that he foolishly made a deal with the devil. There was a curious young man frustrated by the people around who in a moment of weakness was tricked by the devil. There was a scared little girl afraid of the future who in her most vulnerable moment got preyed back the devil," Dipper looked haunted, Wendy fisted a hand knowing full well who the 'Devil' was in rage and painedrage for the devil daring to hurt two people she valued greatly and pained for feeling how useless she was to prevent the suffering of the Mystery Twins at the hands of him while Mabel looked down in shame and guilt while Stanley looked at his brother softly while the Membranes were silent "The last two were taken advantage, but the young visionary? Blinded by pride and disillusionment, he was flattered up by the demon with his poisoned honey words and until he knew it, it was too late as he pushed his family and friends away, nearly dooming everyone while hurting others being too stuck in his own world to see it," Ford's face turned regretful as he continued, by then the Pines and the Membranes had a very good idea on who was this 'Visionary Young Man' which he spoke with such reproached while the Invader was once again caught off guard by the sheer sincerity of the now Old Visionary Man and extended a hand "You are right that I don't know fully what you been through, but I know what is like being an outcast and used. You have to be on the edge forever, you can stop hurting yourself by just saying 'No' to all of it."

Everyone was silent and the Membranes did not know whether they were speechless by his speech or that Zim was speechless too.

Zim stared, stupefied for what felt like a moment of eternity until he then reverted back and giggled in mockery and put distance away from Stanford "How pathetic! These dookies must be so stupid to accidently put- " his next words stopped at his throat as if he was reeling back from memories he was recalling. " -to put…-to put…."

Tallest Miyuki screams as the blob monster created by him devours her.

Tallest Spork sharing the same fate by the same abomination that he made

Tallest Red and Purple screaming in torture hell inside the Florpus Hole, because of him.

Sizz-lorr, Tak, Red, Purple, Miyuki, Control Brains, Spork, Dib, Gaz, Miss Bitters, the Skool children, his own kind. All of them; in demonic forms jeering, mocking and sneering at him. Calling him a joke, a fraud, a loser, a freak, a defective, a disgraceful Invader that should have been deactivated long ago.

'You're not even a real Invader you know.'

'The Tallest lied to you!'

'You're too stupid to ever succeed!'

'Irken Zim's ID Pak is corrupted.'

'What a freak!'

'Weirdo!'

'Failure!'

'Defective Drone!'

'He is a Defective."

Everyone noticed his state, even Gaz was slightly unnerved by Zim, no longr boisterous and seemingly in a trance.

"Uhm, Zim?" Dib called him but he did not answer and was frankly a bit freaked out by it.

"Zim?" Ford brought a hand to put on his shoulder.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Zim slapped away Ford's hand and snarled like a wounded cornered animal reeled back as if the touch was acidic.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN DECEIVE ZIM TO CONTAIN HIM?! WRONG! NOTHING CAN! NOOOTHIIIIIIIING!" He then activated his mini-jet and flew past the window, except it wasn't as cool of a moment as he thought it would be since shards of the broken glass stabbed into his body making him cry and land down on the earth.

"Ow!- aie!- oh! Why does it hurt!?" the Invader cried in pain as he painfully got up and winced and "Owed" when he began putting of the pierced shards of the glass of his body leaving glass pieces now pinkish with a few wounds over his body revealing the pink color of his blood

He then declared as he began running away hastily "I'M OKAY!"

Gir and Minimoose began following their master as everyone befuddled stared not before giving respective goodbye.

"BYE!" The SIR unit chirpy said.

"Nyah." Minimoose said in his own one track vocabulary.

Afterward, Mabel was the first one to break the incredulous silence.

"What the sally was that….?" she glanced to the direction of were they ran into and then looked back where they were.

Even Gaz was surprised by what she saw.

"Just Zim being Zim." Dib sighed and slouched.

The darkness soon was cleared over by a blinding light.

"Ugh, what's this…" the unconsciousness began dissipating and her eyes tried adjusting to the light while her head was dizzy.

"Where the- where am I !?" she looked back and forth and left and right realizing she is in a room with one lightbulb with an one sided glass window which are used for interrogations on this planet as she gathered and she herself was held captive on an upward table with attached metallic cuffs from the said table helding her limbs.

Was she captured by this mudball's authorities? Is this an interrogation or experimentation or torture or all combinded? Neither possibility she did not like.

"Human Torture Chamber!" She then struggled to get out to no avail as the locks were tight.

"Those locks are made of titanium." The unknown voice said to cause her to snap her head to rhe right and there he saw a figure in the dark whose sound she found oddly familiar. "Goodness no, Torture is frowned upon on Earth. There is nothing practical or scientific about extracting information from sentient beings using torture, at one point the interrogated sapient would admit to anything, though considering the militaristic culture your species conduct I am curious to know if you were ever had any countermeasures or training in dealing with such possibility as when you were scanned there were no hidden poisened capsules- "

"Where. Is. This?" Tak gritted her teeth, not appreciating in being talked about like a scientific curiosity and talking about the impracticality of torture did not lesser her concern and she tried activating her weapons yet for some reason she could not.

"Oh I'm sorry, I ramble a lot involving new hypotheses." The figure chuckled with himself when circling, still his face was obscured by the shadows not yet walking into the light thought she could see the figure was tall and wide wearing a strange form of clothing that reached covering the figure's chin which reminded her of what Irken Officers on the Massive wore though in different color. Also, the figure held something in his hands and when he slowly put it on a desk the light revealed it to be her SIR unit Mimi badly damaged and in a deactivated state.

"Mimi! What have you done to my SIR unit, you dirty animals??" She hissed back at the figure.

The figure held his hands up in surrender "I assure you, it was found it in such sad condition. Took a lot of beating. As much as I would love to tear it open, scramble all its parts and study the engineering of such magnificent pieces of robotics I thought it would be best giving it back to its owner."

Looking closer Tak could tell there were blast marks and claw signs on Mimi which suggested that the Snarl Beast turned back and one of the Stan humans who held a blaster may have shot it as well.

Still, she did not let her guard down as she then glared at the figure "Who are you? I will not reveal the Irken Empires' secret, I will die before betraying my people." She announced in defiance, making herself ready for whatever nasty interrogation techniques that were being stored for her.

The figure snorted in amusement "Goodness no, I would rather be kept away from politics, I already have a headache with Human politics. I would rather not get involved in Intergalactic politics which I have little context to. No, I have come for something else if you don't mind." The figure came to light finally revealing: It was a tall male human, likely middle aged, wearing a white lab coat that hid his mouth and chin with black gloves that reached all over his arms and hands and pants with silver and black boots. The most striking characteristic was the ridiculous black hair styled like a lightning bolt that reminded her of Dib and a pair of silver and gray goggles hiding his eyes.

"I believe…you met my children?" Professor Membrane asked.

Note: before anyone asks, yes that scene of Zim mentally breaking Tak I was inspired by Eggman vs Starline from Sonic The Hedgehog comics.
