As The Massive entered the Vort System and began to close in on the planet which was its destination, Zim went down to the prison bay with two of his guards, motioning for them to wait outside as he entered one of the cells.
Lokis scrambled to his feet and backed up against the wall, his expression anxious.
Zim was silent for a long time before speaking. “You said you wanted to help my human.”
Blinking at Zim for a moment, Lokis cleared his throat, then nodded. “Yes.”
Zim scrutinized the Vortian for a long time, then nodded. “Very well. We are going to the military prison on Vort. One of the prisoners there is our best chance at saving Dib’s life.”
Lokis nodded slowly. “What can I do?”
“You’re going to take his place.” Zim’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Lokis for any sign of hesitance. “The guards won’t know the difference between the two of you. All you have to do is exchange clothing with him. You will remain in the prison on Vort in his place, so that I can bring him to The Massive to try and save Dib. Once I have been Ordained, I will order your release.”
Lokis took a deep breath, then nodded.

Garbed in the uniforms of Irken Slave Drivers, Zim and three of his guards flew a Shuvver down to the planet’s surface, landing in front of the main entrance to the prison complex and disembarking. Dragging Lokis along with them, they entered the complex and were halted by two prison guards.
“State your business,” one of them ordered.
Zim tried to hunch down a little so he didn’t look so Tall, not wanting to draw attention and unwanted questions. “We have captured a member of the Resisty. The Tallests have given an order for his imprisonment.”
The two guards nodded and stepped aside, keying in the code to unlock the computerized doors that led to the interior of the complex and the cell blocks within.
Eyeing the cell numbers carefully, Zim led his three guards and Lokis along the corridors, stopping in front of cell 777. Two of Zim’s guards kept watch to make sure no-one was coming, while Zim pulled the release for the cell’s containment field and the third guard undid Lokis’ restraints.
777 looked up at the Slave Drivers, blinking in confusion. “What’s going on?”
Zim pulled his collar down and nodded to him, looking around warily and motioning for the Vortian to be silent. “Switch clothes with him.” He indicated Lokis.
Nodding, 777 did as ordered, climbing into the civilian clothes as Lokis donned the prison clothing 777 had been wearing.
Watching as the third guard placed the restraints on 777’s wrists, Lokis looked up at Zim uncertainly. “Will you really come back for me?”
Zim raised the uniform collar to conceal the lower half of his face once more, nodding. “I am an Irken of my word.” Saying nothing more, he exited the cell and reactivated the containment field.

The two guards at the entrance to the prison complex leaned against the wall, one of them yawning loudly.
“You wanna flip a coin to see who goes on rounds first?”
The other guard waved a hand dismissively. “Nah. I’ll go first, just gimme a few minutes.”
Both guards stiffened when there was a loud crash, grabbing their tazer staffs and holding them at ready. A few moments passed before a little robot ran up to them, dressed in clothing the two guards had never seen before.
“What the heck are you?” one of the guards looked down at the robot quizzically.
“I’m your worst nightmare,” the little robot growled as his glowing eyes changed from turquoise to dark red.
*
As Zim and his three guards stepped over the two unconscious guards at the entrance and exited the complex with 777 in tow, the Tall Irken rolled his eyes, giving his SIR unit an irritated look.
“Did you really have to wear those silly Earth-clothes?”
GIR just grinned, waving his newly acquired tazer staff around. “I’M RAMBO!! WHOO!!”
Zim’s eyes narrowed. “You are NOT bringing that with you.”
