,

MAIM-BOTS,

DEATH-WAVE CANNONS...

A SACK OF TAQUITOS?

JUST A FEW SUPPLIES I NEED TO COMPLETE MY MISSION.

YOU GET MY TAQUITOS YET?

YOUR EXILE...EHH... MISSION IS TO OBSERVE THE PLANET, ZIM,

NOT ANNIHILATE IT.

YES, BUT I'M QUITE GOOD AT ANNIHILATING.

TAQUITOS! AND A CLOWN WITH NO HEAD!

LOOK, WE'D LOVE TO GRANT YOUR REQUEST,

BUT WE THINK YOU'RE INSANE--UNTRAINED!

UNTRAINED? INVADER ZIM?

YOU'RE TRAINED AS AN INVADER, ZIM.

BATTLE-TANKS ARE FOR HARDENED SOLDIERS.

[GRUNTS]

HEY, HOW 'BOUT WE SEND ZIM TO HOBO-13?

IT'S THE...UM...

"FINEST MILITARY TRAINING PLANET EVER!"

ZIM, ON HOBO-13 YOU'LL BE TORN LIMB FROM LIMB--

EVALUATED! EVALUATED AS A SOLDIER.

IF YOU PASS, WE'LL SEND YOU A BIG BAG OF BATTLE-TANKS!

BUT NOT THAT CLOWN THING.

HEADLESS CLOWN!

HEADLESS CLOWN!

VERY WELL, MY TALLEST!

TO ATTAIN MY TANKS,

I WILL ALLOW THE EVALUATION

OF MY INCREDIBLE BRAINMEATS. ZIM OUT!

HOW 'BOUT CLOWN TAQUITOS?

HEY, HEY, GIR...GIR,

CHECK IT OUT...

[HUMMING THE INVADER ZIM THEME SONG]

WITH MY MIGHTY FISTS OF HORROR AND UNSTOPPABLE CRUELTY!

I AM THE TOOL OF DESTRUCTION, VENGEANCE AND FURY!

I ONLY ASKED FOR YOUR NAME. NEXT!

I AM THROBULATOR!

I AM A CREATURE OF PURE HEADACHE!

AARGH! MY HEAD!

YOUR NAMES! THAT'S ALL I WANT! GAH!

INVADER SKOODGE, SIR!

SKOODGE?

I THOUGHT THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST KILLED YOU!

YEAH, BUT I'M OK NOW.

THEY SAY THEY'LL PROMOTE ME IF I PASS THE EVALUATION!

HA! FOOLISH, GULLIBLE SKOODGE.

YOUR FIRST TASK, YOU SCUM- PUDDLING SKWAGDOOGIES,

IS TO CHOOSE A LEADER.

ANYONE WHO DISOBEYS THE LEADER WILL BE ELIMINATED.

THINK CAREFULLY.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT--

I CHOOSE ME!

ZIM SHALL LEAD!

OBJECT AND TASTE MY REVOLTING VENGEANCE OF POWER!

JUST REMEMBER, WITH LEADERSHIP COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEAM AND YOU SURVIVE WITH HONOR!

YES, YES, GET ON WITH IT.

MY BATTLE TANKS AWAIT.

PREPARE YOURSELVES, SLIME LICKING SCHMORK-KRABS,

TO FACE A SERIES OF TRIALS!

THE FINISH LINE IS THE DREADED FORTRESS OF...PAIN!

ANY MISTAKES AND YOU WILL BE BEAMED AWAY

TO A LOSER'S HOLDING PEN.

AH-AH-AAAH!

THE HOLDING PEN OF PAIN!

THE HOLDING PEN IS PAINFUL? YES.

DOES IT HAVE TO BE?

NOT REALLY. NOW MOVE IT OUT!

[SINGING]

HEY, NO SINGING!

GET IN STEP, SHAPE UP!

AS YOU CAN SEE, BRAVE INVADER ZIM HAS BEGUN

HIS JOURNEY TO THE FORTRESS OF PAIN.

ANYONE WANNA BET HE GETS BLOWN UP?

A THOUSAND MONIES SOMETHING EATS HIM!

OK. ANYONE FOR CHOPPED IN HALF?

OOOOH! ME! I BET 2,000 MONIES.

YOU REALIZE THAT IF NOBODY BETS FOR ZIM,

WE COULD BE OUT A LOT OF MONIES.

ANY BETS FOR ZIM SUCCEEDING?

COME ON!

YOU! TABLE-HEADED SERVICE DRONE BOB!

YOU WILL BET 500,000 MONIES ON ZIM.

BUT I ONLY MAKE 5 MONIES EVERY 2 YEARS.

500,000 FOR ZIM!

[CHEERING]

FIRST, YOU MUST USE YOUR WITS TO CROSS THE MOLTEN PIT

OF HIDEOUS SCREAMING PAIN!

YOUR POWER-SUITS WILL PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION

BUT NOTHING WILL DEFEND YOU FROM A STUPID MISTAKE.

CHILD'S PLAY!

WE SHALL STAND ON EACH OTHER'S SHOULDERS

AND FALL FORWARD, FORMING A BRIDGE TO SAFETY.

WHY DON'T WE JUST CUT DOWN THAT TREE AND WALK ACROSS?

IT'S SAFER AND...YOU KNOW--

[CHATTERING]

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE, SOLDIER?

[SCREAMS]

[SQUEAK]

[SCREAMS]

OW!

[GRUNTING]

CAN'T...HOLD...ON!

ARRRRGH! MY HEAD!

YOU'RE A HORRIBLE LEADER!

VICTORY!

OHH.

THAT SHOULD'NA HAPPENED.

S THE STINKING CANYON

OF THE FEROCIOUS MEAT-THIRSTY HOGULUS!

OF PAIN?

[GRUNTING]

IT'S SIMPLE.

NAVIGATE FROM THIS END TO THE FAR END.

ALIVE!

GOOD LUCK.

I HAVE A PLAN,

BUT I WILL NEED A VOLUNTEER TO DISTRACT THE HOG-BEAST.

YES, SIR! I AM YOUR LOYAL...

[SCREAMING]

LET'S GO.

ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE!

WHAT ABOUT YOUR SOLDIER SKOODGE?

IT'S WHAT SKOODGE WOULD'VE WANTED.

I MEAN, OH, NO!

SKOODGE IS IN TROUBLE!

[GRUNTING]

HMM!

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

I'M PROGRAMMING MY SUIT TO STEAL ENERGY

FROM THE REST OF THE TEAM. HERE I GO.

AAAH!

ARMS...

AND LEGS...

USELESS!

WITH ENOUGH POWER, I CAN LIFT THE BOULDER

AND THROW IT AT THE MONSTER.

NO ONE WILL SAY ZIM NEVER TRIED!

[SCREAMING IN BACKGROUND]

UH...TAKES A LITTLE WHILE, DOESN'T IT?

OK, I TRIED.

THE FORTRESS OF PAIN AWAITS!

[HUMMING]

IF ZIM FINISHES,

I GET 6 MILLION MONIES...

OH, BOBBY, IT APPEARS I NEED A REFILL.

AH! GET IT YOURSELF!

CURSE YOU, ZIM!

AAAH!

I AM INVINCIBLE!

ALL I HAD TO DO WAS REPROGRAM THE LASER TURRETS

TO LOCK IN ON, UH...

WHAT'S HER NAME? THAT ONE PERSON.

BUT SHE WAS A FINE SOLDIER

AND BETTER LUCK TO HER IN THE FUTURE.

AAH!

BEHOLD, THE FORTRESS OF PAIN!

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN?

THROBULATOR!

YES. SOLDIER,

I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL MISSION FOR YOU.

[GRUNTING]

THROBULATOR...

FEEL NOTHING ANYMORE.

GOOD WORK, TEAM!

TEAM?

OH, WELL.

WELL, I MADE IT TO THE FORTRESS.

VICTORY IS MINE!

OH, NO, ZIM. NO VICTORY FOR YOU!

BECAUSE OF YOUR INCOMPETENCE YOUR ENTIRE SQUAD WAS ELIMINATED.

YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO HOBO-13.

BUT I SURVIVED EVERY TRIAL!

I'M THE ULTIMATE SOLDIER!

I MUST GET MY EQUIPMENT OR I...WON'T GET IT!

THEN DEFEAT ME, ZIM!

LET THIS BE YOUR FINAL CHALLENGE!

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO TWISTING YOU

INTO A TWISTED, HORRIBLE KNOT...

MADE FROM YOU.

HEY, THAT'S NEAT.

THIS CIRCLE IS SURROUNDED BY A TRANSPORTATION FIELD.

FIRST PERSON TO BE PUSHED THROUGH THAT FIELD

GETS TRANSPORTED TO...

THE HOLDING PEN OF PAIN?

NO, IT'S FULL.

NOW THE LOSER GETS SENT TO...

THE OUTHOUSE OF MADNESS!

HUH?

[SCREAMS]

I HAVE YOU NOW!

UH...NOW?

UH...NOW?

YOU ARE THE WORST STUDENT I'VE EVER HAD!

PERHAPS YOU HAVE TRAINED ME TOO WELL.

NO, REALLY. YOU'RE THE WORST.

YOUR CHEATING ARM TRICK WON'T HELP YOU NOW, ZIM.

NO TEAMMATES LEFT TO STEAL POWER FROM!

HAH! WAIT!

AAAAAAH!

ZIM! I ESCAPED FROM THE CANYON!

I MADE IT! I'M ALIVE--OOOOF!

WHERE AM I? WHAT AM I SEEING?

OH, MY...OH, NO!

UHHH! AAAAH!

OW! OW! OW! OW!

AH! AH! AH! AH!

PUT ME DOWN! AAAAAH!

UM...THIS COMPLETES MY EVALUATION.

THE TALLEST CAN DENY MY REQUESTS NO LONGER!

I AM ZIM! BRING ME THE TANKS!

YOU CAN SERVE YOURSELVES FROM NOW ON!

HA HA HA HA HA!

IT SURE WAS NICE OF THE TALLEST

TO GIVE ME MY OWN SHIP.

AND THEY TELL ME IF I PROVE MYSELF AS A FLEET COMMANDER,

THEY'LL GIVE ME MY TANKS AND MY OWN BATTLE CRUISER.

HEY, WHY ARE THESE CONTROLS LOCKED ANYWAY?
