//------------------------------// // Episode 7, Zim's Maniacal Spying Mission // Story: Equestria Girls: The Invasion of Invader Zim! // by Stalin with Da Spoon //------------------------------// Zim's Great Evil Plan! In the depths of Zim's base, the little green Irken himself could be seen pacing around in circles inside of a large research laboratory, while Skoodge was busy studying the energy samples of the Rainboom's through an advanced electroscope, and GIR was riding around on mini moose. Skoodge had honestly never seen energy this chaotic and unstable. Not even the hyper-fusion reactor of the Massive was this unstable. His education in Irken fusion engineering taught him that anything this unstable should not even be possible, and yet, these seven human girls possessed this energy within their very bodies. However, something was off... It appeared that the energy was growing weaker, and Skoodge had formulated a theory that the longer this energy was away from the source, AKA, the humans, it would grow weaker and weaker, until it basically ceased. This posed several questions, one of which being how these humans could even produce such power. Were they some kind of living generators? Or maybe they possess some strange device that generates this power for them... Regardless, he would need to test his theory, as he turned to Zim. "Hey Zim-" "WHAT IS IT? I am busy formulating my glorious evil plan!" Skoodge recoiled a bit from Zim's sharp yell, but he knew his comrade well enough to know it wasn't aggressive, so he just continued speaking. "Uhhh, I managed to finish those readings, and it appears that when the energy has been separated from the source, or whatever is allowing those girls to generate this power, the energy gets weaker till it just stops existing." "I see... So extracting it in large amounts would not only be difficult, but maintaining the power it provides would be impossible, FLORP NOODLES!" Zim silently cursed as he kicked at a metal wall, then clutched his foot in pain. "YOW! Ugh, it does not matter, my ingenious plan shall not be hindered, for I have a new idea!" Zim then quickly walked over to a large computer as he sat down and began typing away, while Skoodge stood right next to him. "What's your new idea, Zim?" "I am glad you asked, Skoodge, for I shall explain my genius plan!" He then pulled up several images of the teenage girls, including energy readings and mappings, as he zoomed in on an image of Sunset Shimmer. "Whatever is allowing these humans to produce this energy MUST be an external source, and I shall figure out what it is! But if we are to discover the source, we must first learn more of these human teenagers..." "As such, we must conduct operations of espionage and strategic observation! Computer!" As Zim shouted, the mechanical voice of the base's computer sounded out. "Reporting." "Deploy the T.S.O.D!" "Understood, deploying Totally Stealthy Observation Drone." The house lightly rumbled, as within the house's drone storage, one of the bays opened up, to reveal a spider like drone, with four sets of optical sensors, eight legs, and a pair of insect fly like wings, with thrusters mounted to it's wings, and legs, being around the size of a fly, as the platform with the drone on it extended out, and rose up through the base, into the launch bay. Now, seeing as it was basically the middle of the day, opening the house's roof to launch the drone would not only be suspicious, but also unnecessary, as the drone was tiny enough for a small porthole window to materialize in the wall, large enough for the tiny drone to slip out of before the window vanished. Zim and Skoodge sat at the controls of the drone, as it rapidly flew over the city of Canterlot, scanning for any of the seven girls, before detecting them, as it rapidly zoomed in on a local Cafe, and it rapidly descended down. "There they are... Now, let us gather some intelligence on our foes, Skoodge!" Inside the Cafe, Sunset was currently sitting at a table, as she chatted with her friends as she sipped from a milkshake slowly. "I can't wait for the upcoming concert were gonna perform in, it's gonna be so fun!" Pinkie said, visibly excited and jumping in her chair, as Rainbow chuckled. "Yeah, and this year, we don't have to worry about magic eating brainwashing sirens or anything like that, just us, the crowd and some sick music!" Rainbow yelled out with cheer, as she played an air guitar. "Ah reckon it'll be nice, just hopin' that Zim feller doesn't cause any mischief, specially with his so called brother, Skoodge. Those two look like trouble waitin' to happen." Twilight nodded in confirmation. "Agreed, if Dib really is correct, having two aliens, three if you count Tak, in Canterlot city, isn't very good... And from how Dib described them, I doubt they would be open to learning the magic of friendship, considering their inter-planetary conquerors..." Fluttershy visibly saddened at this. "Awwwww... But they have such a cute dog... I'm sure they aren't all that bad... I mean, you were pretty bad back then, Sunset, and look at you now!" Sunset nervously chuckled, smiling as Rarity patted her on the back. "Indeed darling, your better than some alien ruffian from another world! Together, we can show those little green men that we won't be pushed around." "Yeah, couldn't have said it better myself! Well, actually, I could have, but eh." Cue everyone laughing at Rainbow's comment. Meanwhile, Zim was practically fuming. "FOOLISH HUMANS! They believe they can defeat us? We shall show these pitiful humans the true might of the Irken empire and it's greatest invaders!" Cue Skoodge getting a boost of confidence, as he pumped his fist into the air. "Yeah, we ain't gonna be pushed around! Let's show these humans we mean business!" "Indeed! Now be quiet, they are still talking!" As Zim and Skoodge watched from the drone, the girls continued to converse. "Here's hoping they don't find out about the loose magic of Canterlot City, or the mirror, that would be really bad..." All the girls grimaced, while Zim and Skoodge had confused looks on their face. "Yeah, or worse, find out about our geode's, that'd be really bad!" "Indeed darling, just imaging what those aliens could do with that power is horrifying." "If they got into the mirror, then we'd have a big problem." "Yeah, so let's make sure we guard them well, and whatever we do, don't mention anything related to magic around the aliens." As all the girls nodded, Zim's face grew an evil smirk, as his genius brain started to rapidly form an even greater plan. "Oh pathetic humans.... I already know, MWAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
