THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS OF DOOM PT. II

Scene: Zim's Secret Underground Base

Giz: Defenses?! Lawn gnomes and THAT (points at GIR) are defenses?
GIR: (holding a rubber pig dressed as Senator Padmé from Episode II) Senator Pigmé, you must escape!

Giz walks over to a panel and opens it to reveal the Plixor Energy source. She takes it and stuff it into a pocket of her flight suit. Both Giz and Dib walk away as the camera pans over to GIR.

GIR: (holding a moose clothed like Count Dooku) *sobbing* Noooo, Count Moosu has betrayed the republic!

Scene: Night. Outside Zim's House on the front yard

Dib: Boy, is Zim going to be surprised we infiltrated his base.
Zim: Stupid Dib Meat, it was all part of my plan. *laughs*

Zim has blocked Dib and Giz's exit with a giant robot mechanism armed beyond imagination. In the pilot seat sits a very smug Zim.

Zim: I've spent many months working on my DoomBot and I must say it so good I've even impressed myself.
Dib: What tha?
Giz: *sighs* Not this again.
Zim: Tremble little humans and behold the power that is...... that is.... GIR!

GIR is standing next to the DoomBot playing with his pig and moose.

GIR: Count Moosu, stop being so mean!
Zim: GIR!!!!
GIR: Hmmm? Oh... (duty mode) Yes, sir!

GIR hops into a second seat beneath Zim and flips some switches awaking the giant monstrosity that is the DoomBot. The DoomBot takes a step forward asserting its authority as the definitive butt kicker of all time though it has yet to prove it.

Zim: Tremble little huma- oh forget it I'm just going to destroy you.

From behind the DoomBot appears Gaz playing her Game Slave. How long she's been back there is unknown. She walks off to one side remaining out of Zim's line of site yet in plain view. She seems oblivious to what is going on.

Zim: Hmmm... a taste of my antimatter cannon should be sweet.

Zim flips a switch. A large cannon shaped gun extends from the DoomBot and powers up. The ground begins shaking, Dib looks fearful, Giz is indifferent, GIR screams WOOHOO. And..... ....then the gun falls off its mount and rolls down the street.

Zim: Eh? *taps buttons* Very clever Dib stink, I didn't suspect you knew how to create ah... ah..
Gaz: (not looking up from her Game Slave) Antimatter feedback loop.
Zim: Antimatter feedback loop. No matter.. my plasma repeater should settle this.

Zim punches more buttons and a large chaingun with tubes coming out the back is extended. The barrel begins to spin furiously but before anything comes out Zim's computer screen flashes in large red letters "ABORTED".

Zim: Ack! The repeater appears to be jammed with some sticky colored ...uh...uhm...
Gaz: (blows a bubble, pops it, and continues chewing) Bubblegum
Zim: Bubblegum!!! Oh, you wretched Earth worm.

Dib glances at Giz.

Dib: When did you do this?
Giz: (shrugs) Wasn't me, but it is my style.
Zim: GIR, open the refractor lens. We shall use their own moon to bake their brains.
GIR: Yeah! Brains!

A large circular mirror emerges form the back of the robot. It catches the moon rays and focuses them into a single crystal. The crystal emits a beam into a pipe which then extends from beneath the mirror into a gun barrel. In the middle of the gun barrel is a larger circular section, the collection chamber. The harnessed moonlight begin to grow brighter here and pulses in a circular motion around the collection chamber.

Zim: Truly, today will be a great victory for Irk.

Sparks begin to fly out from the collection chamber.

Zim: Its a shame you won't be around to witness the enslavement of your race.

Sparks and now pieces of the collection chamber begin to fly forth. Something is wrong here.

Zim: And now I bring to an end the- HUH?!

Small explosions rock the DoomBot. Even Zim can't ignore these.

Zim: GIR what is? GIR?!!

GIR has wandered over to Gaz holding his pig and moose.

GIR: See, its Senator Pigmé?
Gaz: Go away.

Zim climbs down to the seat GIR vacated. He madly taps away on the control panel.

Zim: The reaction is out of control. A mirror in the collection chamber is missing. But how?

Gaz is still playing her game slave but manages to free one hand long enough to pull the missing mirror from behind her. GIR takes it and stares at his reflection.

GIR: Oooooo... Who are you?
Zim: I must use the escape pod before this entire area is destroyed.

Zim hops back up to his cockpit which seals off and ejects from the DoomBot. Smoke plumes emerge as rockets fire. The ejection pod rises. However, the jets abruptly alter thrust out to the sides causing the escape pod to spin and fall. Upon hitting the ground the escape pod quickly rolls out of sight.

Zim: Aaahhhhh ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhh... not the ice cream truck... *boom* aahhhhhhh

Explosions continue to rattle the DoomBot until.... ....it tips over. No explosion, no nothing except for one its mechanical legs twitching briefly. Gaz finally beats the game she has been playing for hours.

Game Slave Speaker: You have defeated me valiant warrior. Thank you for playing.

Gaz suddenly appears at peace with the world. Her inner rage has disappeared and for no apparent reason a soft heavenly spotlight envelopes her body.

Gaz: (whispers) Owned.

The light disappears. Rage returning Gaz pulls the cartridge from her Game Slave and hurls it to the ground. In mid flight the cartridge moves in slowmo (like the Matrix) and then hits the ground shattering at twice normal speed (again, like the Matrix). Gaz snaps her right hand out. A new game cartridge flies from out of her shirt sleeve. With precision she slaps it into the Game Slave. A few beeps are heard followed by:

Game Slave Speaker: Welcome, level 1 begins now.

Giz and Dib walk over to Gaz. GIR wanders by carrying the mirror he got from Gaz.

GIR: (to his reflection) I want you to meet Count Moosu. (wanders off camera)
Dib: (to Gaz) Uhm... well, thank-
Gaz: Don't bother me. I need 2 months to finish this game.

Gaz walks away.

Giz: (to Dib) I was like that. I quit playing games so I could defend the Earth from Zim.
Dib: What about me? Is there another me in your universe?
Giz: You mean my brother Dab? Yeah, but he plays games all day. He found my Game Slave after I quit playing.

Scene: Night. Dib's backyard.

Giz is typing at a computer console onboard her Advanced Fighter.

Computer Voice: Plixor Energy Array charge and ready.
Dib: Well, I wish you luck in your fight against Zim. And if there is one thing you can take with you its the knowledge that I will continue to fight Zim an-
Giz: Why do you have such a big head?
Dib: Eh?
Giz: My brother Dab doesn't have a big head.
Dib: I don't-
Giz: Get back. I'm leaving.

Dib scrambles back as the hatch closes on the Advanced Fighter. Engines flare and the fighter lifts off and screams off into the night sky.

Dib: Wow.... all that.... for velcro.

Scene: In space over Earth.

Giz: Computer, initiate Plixor energy hole sequence.
Computer: Plixor Array energized!

An energy hole emerges. Giz rockets into it. As she emerges out the other end she finds herself still in orbit around the Earth but its now HER Earth. The remains of the Earth Defense Force are fighting the Irken Armada. They are losing.

Giz: Dad?
Commander Membrane: Giz? But- how?!
Giz: Without a leader they will crumble. I'm going to ram Zim's ship.
Commander Membrane: I ... not twice in the same... *sob*

Giz pushes the engines of the Advanced Fighter to the max. Warning bleeps emit from every panel in the ship. She opens fire blasting away any ship that gets in the way. Giz rams her ship into the Muscle but fails to stop it. She glances off the side ripping a nice gash in it and disabling her ship.

Zim: Poor little Giz. So much to give yet... YOU FAIL MISERABLY! AH HAHAHAHAHHA *BLAM* WHAT THE?

Backlit by the sun a new armada of Earth ships emerges. In command is the same Cafeteria Lady we saw way back serving Zim in Skool. Her counterpart in Giz's universe is still wearing the same outfit (white shirt, apron, etc.) except that it is clean and has rank insignia on it. In her hands she holds a golden soup ladle which she gently pats in other palm like a ridding crop.

Commander Cafeteria Lady: Mister Tiberius, you may open fire.

A volley of laser blasts come from the entire fleet. The Muscle suffers heavy damage and begins to list to one side.

Zim: Order the fleet to fall back! Do it! We must heal our wounds while we learn more of this new Commander.

The Irken fleet retreats rapidly as the new Earth armada and the remains of the old merge into one. A rescue craft is seen grabbing Giz's disabled fighter and returning it to the Earth Command ship.

Commander Membrane: (to video image of Commander Cafeteria Lady) We are greatly in your debt. You saved us and the Earth. Thank you.
Commander Cafeteria Lady: Don't thank me, thank a world that rewards a minimum wage worker with immense wealth.

Commander Cafeteria Lady suddenly pulls a small cart out with a large steaming pot atop it. She dips her golden ladle into it.

Commander Cafeteria Lady: Who wants soup?!
Voices off camera: Me! Me sir! Me ma'am! (hands from off camera extend in holding empty bowls)

By now Giz has reached the bridge of the Earth Command ship. Commander Membrane hugs Giz who grumpily hugs him back. She doesn't like public displays of affection. The two separate and walk towards a large view port overlooking the Earth.

Commander Membrane: Earth is safe once more. It's a shame your brother Dab isn't more constructive.
Giz: What if we tied in his game to a robot fleet? Then when he plays the game he would be fighting our war for us without knowing it.
Commander Membrane: Didn't we try that already with that Ender Game? *shrugs* Oh well.

Camera pulls back on the Earth fleet. A Count Moosu doll floats into frame for no apparent reason. Fade to black.
