INVADER ZIM: The Impersonation
Opening scene
(a close-up of a closed eye)
Unknown female: (voice-over) What's keeping you alive. . .?
(on-screen, Tak is on the ground, clothes torn, bleeding and bruised. She's knocked out, and the remains of her ship is burning in the background. Here and there are pieces of her android, Mimi. A somewhat translucent figure is hovering over her)
Unknown: (voice-over) Tak. . .
(Scene becomes a little more clear as the same figure (although it's difficult to make out who it is, due to screen cut-off and angle) carries an unconscious Tak into a lit room, the background revealing a dark field, where her burning ship is a light glow)
Unknown: (voice-over) You are just barely. . .
(a couple races to their front door, where the figure is, and hurriedly take Tak from its arms)
Woman: She needs medical attention!
Man: . . .is that thing even human. . .?
(scene suddenly switches back to eye, which suddenly opens, revealing a vivid purple)
Unknown: (voice-over) ALIVE.
(fades to black)
(The movie title slowly fades in as Tak's theme (from her first appearance in the Hideous New Girl) plays) (As soon as it becomes clear, the Invader Zim theme music starts) (it continues as an image of Zim suddenly appears, frozen at first) (He's in the middle of screaming in his kitchen, and then, with the music still playing in the background, he becomes animated)
Zim: GIR! Get your giant rubber peanut out of the toilet this INSTANT! IT IS SO DEMANDED BY ZIM!
(Gir is sleeping on the floor, snoring obnoxiously) (he slowly opens his eyes, then sleepily walks to the kitchen toilet, and pulls the rubber peanut out it)
Gir: (gnaws on peanut groggily) I love my nuts. . . (falls over, snoring once more)
Zim: (scowls) (rolls his eyes) (walks into living room, where he puts on his wig and contacts, then steps outside)
(There's somewhat of an arial view, showing Zim walking down the street, the closer scenery being a hill with a figure sitting on it) (the hill and figure come into focus, revealing Tak, watching Zim with a deep glare) (she stands up, her hands balled up in fists)
Tak: (to self) The time will come Zim. . . Soon. . . I will take back what is mine. . .
(she turns, and with a flash, she's gone)
(Zim looks to the hill in slight interest, but upon realizing nothing's there, he just shrugs and continues to walk)
Scene cuts to Dib's house
(Dib wakes up, actually looking cheerful, then looks out his window) (It is so bright and cheery out, he actually appears to have hope for mankind) (He sits at the edge of his bed and stretches his arms with an enormous smile)
Dib: (to self) I feel good about today. . .something about it. . . seems. . .almost. . .not horrible!
Gaz: (walking past his room) Quit talking to yourself. It's weird. . . Oh yeah (with a smirk) Dad bought a new cereal just for you. . .
Dib: (with hope) ChocoChunkySuperKaLuckyPuffs?
Gaz: Crazy-O's.
Dib: (jaw drops in disbelief)
Gaz: Heh. It's supposed to reduce crazy cells or whatever. . . (throws cereal box at his head) Oh yeah. You're late for skool.
Dib: (in mid-chew of his cereal) eh? Wait. . . Aren't you late too?
Gaz: No.
Dib: But you go to the same skool as me-
Gaz: I said 'no', Dib! Geez! You just don't get it, do you! (stomps away)
Dib: (raises eyebrow) (chews) (looks to clock) Crud, I really am late! (jumps out window all cool and dramatic-like) (lands in bushes)
Gaz: (from second-story window) You're stupid!
Dib: (spits out leaves) (scowls) (regains composure, stands up and starts to walk down street)
(on his way to Skool, he keeps looking back anxiously, almost paranoid-like)
Dib: (to self) Is someone following me. . .? (looks back once more) (a flash of purple and blue zoom by in the background)
(He shrugs and turns around, and is suddenly face-to-face with Tak, in her human disguise) (he jumps, then blinks in disbelief)
Dib: (slowly) Tak. . .?
Tak: (smirks) Yes Dib. A smart little one, aren't you?
Dib: What are you doing back here? I mean, I thought Zim defeat-
Tak: (suddenly with a spazilicious face) Don't say that! Such an incompetent idiot as Zim could never defeat me. . . the very thought is sickening. . .
Dib: um.
Tak: (snapping) What?
Dib: Never mind. . . you. ..you aren't planning to. . .you know. . . take over Earth again, are you?
Tak: That's none of your business.
Dib: (narrows his eyes) Why are you even talking to me?
Tak: (suddenly sweetly) Well Dib, it always helps to have some sort of alliance when you're on an enemy planet.
Dib: That's just it. Technically, we're enemies, why would I be your-
Tak: (hissing, irritated) Okay, listen. I'm not planning to conquer Earth this time. I'm just here to. . . Get under Zim's skin a little. No harm in that, right? To you anyway?
Dib: That's it?
Tak: (nods) (angle shows her back, where her fingers are crossed)
Dib: Well. .. (mulling things over) Okay. I'll be your ally. (grins)
Tak: (somewhat menacing grin) Excellent. . . just. . . excellent. . .(she offers him her hand)
Dib: (shakes it, then genuinely smiles)
(the two walk down the street to Skool)
Scene cuts to Skool, Ms. Bitters classroom, before class has begun. (Tak and Dib have not yet arrived. Zim is amongst the only few sitting in his desk) (He is scribbling on an electronic notepad) (angle shows he's constructed a somewhat crude drawing of the giant rubber peanut as seen earlier, then an equals sign, followed by a picture of Earth with a stick figure Zim standing on top of it, holding an Irken flag)
Zim: (to self) Yes. . .it's all becoming so clear now. . .
(At this point, Tak and Dib enter the classroom, at first, going unnoticed by Zim) (Tak freezes, then just stares at Zim, who doesn't look up from his notepad)
Tak: (growling) Zim.
(no response)
Tak: (with emphasis) Zim.
(no response) (Zim types something into the notepad, then shakes his head)
Tak: (raising eyebrow) (just plain annoyed) Geez Zim! I'm talking to you!
(still no response)
Tak: (advancing a step, hands in fists) Zim-
Ms. Bitters: Everyone sit down! (bell rings) (surveys classroom with an eyeball bulging out) (notes Tak) (miserably) Oh. It's you again.
Tak: Yes. . .um. . .there was a reason for my absence. You see-
Ms. Bitters: That's fascinating. Sit behind Zim.
Tak: (twitching) But. . .aren't I supposed to sit behind Dib?
Ms. Bitters: (stares for a long, disturbing moment) (In the background, uncomfortable squeaks and squeals can be heard)
(Tak's eyes dart back and forth as she awaits an answer)
Tak: (somewhat awkwardly) Um. . .okay then. . .I'll just sit. . .behind Zim. . . (walks cautiously over to the desk behind Zim's, where Zita is the occupant) (to Zita) Move.
Zita: (sticks out tongue) Make me!
Ms. Bitters: (presses button on wall) (Zita falls to underground classroom, screaming at the top of her lungs) (the other classmates just shake their heads solemnly)
(Tak takes her seat)
Tak: (leaning in to Zim) (whispering) Expect hell from me, Zim.. .
(yet again, no response) (he's still working from his notepad) (Tak's eyes bulge out in a frustrated, fed-up expression)
(As Ms. Bitters begins some kinda lecture, Tak takes a random piece of paper, scribbles on it, then throws it at Zim's head) (it bounces off and lands on his desk) (He finally looks up, and unfolds the paper, where it contains the message , "Turn around idiot!") (He obeys)
Zim: Zita, what is the meaning- (blinks) (realizes its Tak) TAK! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!
Tak: (smirks evilly) I've been here this whole time Zim. . . and I will remain here until you are brought to ruins! I have been plotting against you from the start, and this shall continue until your existance is as completely hopeless as it can possibly be! Until it reaches the point where you can scarcely even leave your pathetic excuse for a base, in both fear of the remains of your pitiful life, and that I, the future ruler of this nasty planet, will just kill you off! Yet, I know by that point, you would be longing for death anyway, so instead of being so kind as allowing you that option, I would put you to the most torturous labor you will ever endure for the remainder of your days! And then you will truly comprehend that you should have never messed with me.
Zim: (blinks) (shakes head) What was that?
Tak: (screams in frustration)
Ms. Bitters: Would you like to add to my lesson, Tak?
Tak: (deadpan) No ma'am.
(Zim just kinda shrugs once he realizes Tak is no longer going to speak to him and turns around) (from the other side of the room, Dib eyes them suspiciously)
Scene cuts to after Skool, the students are all leaving, it's rather cloudy out
(Tak is walking down the street toward the Deelishous Weenie stand alone) (she appears to be in deep thought, when Zim runs up behind her)
Zim: Tak!
Tak: (turns, raises eyebrow) What do you want?
Zim: (slowing down his pace as he walks casually beside her) I was just wondering. . . why are you here?
Tak: (freezes) (stupefied). . . You really didn't hear a word I was saying before, did you?
Zim: (confused) Heh?
(Tak sighs disgustedly, and quickens her pace a few steps in front of Zim, but he just speeds up himself until he's beside her again)
Zim: So why are you here?
Tak: (expressionless) Why do you care?
Zim: I do not! It is merely curiosity!
Tak: Stay curious. I don't feel like telling you again.
Zim: Again? When did you tell me before?
(long, awkward pause as Tak just stares at Zim) (her eye twitches and she begins to walk again) (Zim stays in place, watching after her and shakes his fist)
Zim: Fine! I bet you're after my mission again, am I correct Tak-beast! Well, then walk away! I will only defeat you again if you are to try anything!
(Tak whips around sharply, her eyes flashing in fury, she's holding up her fists)
Tak: (much rage) YOU DID NOT DEFEAT-
(lightning suddenly flashes, thunder rumbles) (it begins to downpour, and Tak lowers her fists in bewilderment) (after a moment, she begins to smoke, and her holographic cover begins to flicker) (she shrieks and falls to her knees)
Tak: WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME? (her eyes are wide in horror)
(Zim stares with a smirk as he watches her for a moment, but then as he sees her huddle over in pain, his expression softens just slightly and he takes a step toward her)
Zim: Hold on. I can help-
Tak: I don't need your- (winces sharply) . . .bloody help. . .
Zim: (defiant) You deny me while you are burning? You're a fool!
Tak: (still smokin') I am. . .not. . .
Zim: (takes another step, reaching out hand slightly)
(Dib suddenly rushes past him (knocking him over on the way) to get to Tak) (he takes off his jacket and places it over her)
Dib: (helping her up) C'mon. You can come to my house.
Tak: (wincing again) Thank you. . .Dib.
(they walk off) (Zim watches after them in disbelief) (he lowers his hand slowly) (a car rushes by through a puddle, and soaks him) (he scowls and walks home)
Scene cuts to Zim's base, where it's still raining, and it's later in the evening; (the camera zooms in, so the viewer is peering outside Zim's window, where one can make out Zim pacing back and forth in the background, although it's a little blurred) (For a slight second, the translucent figure briefly seen in the scene can be seen at the side of the screen, looking into the base, but once again, the angling prevents much of the figure from being closely seen) (in a split second, the figure dissapears, and then Zim's living room comes into focus)
Zim: (agitated) (to self) That horrible female! What kind of an Irken would accept the help of a mere human as opposed to. . . ZIM!
(Gir stares at him blankly for a short moment, then shrugs)
Gir: I dunno.
Zim: Well, the very thought of it is. . . icky. . . (he pauses, then flops on the couch) When I see that Tak again. . . argh, I swear I will discover her motive for coming to Earth! And destroy her! (losing heat) Unless she's like. . . here to join a circus. . . or something equally. . .not threatening. . .
(Gir begins to giggle insanely) (he stands up and crashes into the wall, which knocks him out)
Zim: (sitting up) (in slight shock) You're right Gir! Perhaps we underestimate the power OF THE CIRCUS! . . . (raising fist in determination) She must be stopped at all costs then!. . . GIR! FETCH ME MY DISGUISE!
(the doorbell suddenly rings) (Zim scowls, but walks over to the door anyway) (once it's opened, he sees Tak in her Irken form, staring expressionlessly at him) (her eyes lack the usual shine seen in an Irken's eyes)
Zim: (triumphant) Ha! I am glad you are here Tak, although you are a fool to approach my mighty base at a time like this, because I was just planning to make my way over to your base to exterminate you-
(Tak doesn't make any acknowledgment to Zim's statement) (she suddenly staggers forward, grabbing onto Zim's shirt for support)
(His eyes bug out in intense confusion, as he attempts to push her off of him)
Zim: (flustered) Tak! What in Irk's name are you-
(suddenly, Tak lifts her head, and brings her lips to Zim's) (he freezes) (freaked out) (severly) (a moment passes, and then she pulls away)
Tak: (softly, in a voice that's vaguely different then her usual one) I just wanted to do that. . . (smiles impassively) (touches Zim's arm lightly) I'll see you tomorrow. . .
(she leaves the base, closing the door behind her)
Zim: (speechless)
(sound of rain, but besides that, it's dead quiet for a long moment)
Zim: (touches lips slowly) She. . . (snapping back into reality) SHE TRIED TO EAT ME! (runs from room in spazilicious terror)
Gir: (is still knocked out)
To be continued. . .
I hope I confused everyone. I truly, truly do.
Heh heh, jk. Twill all become clear soon, my dearies!
Review and I will swear my eternal alligiance to you.
