Meanwhile, Skrooge keeps a very close eye on the prisoners, until he hears a very loud signal alarm going off. He quickly stands up from his small chair and quickly grabs onto very advanced looking gloves, which Dib's face turns pale as he knows what he's going to do.

"Crap! He's going to use his jet gauntlets!" Dib thought. He looks back at Min-Jung and Lily, who has the same thoughts as him.

"H-Hey! S-Skoodge!" Min-Jung called out, hoping to give the others more time.

Sadly, it didn't work as he ignores her, until, "Don't tell you forgot about me!" Min-Jung shouted, "Don't you remember before your tournament fight with Dib?!"

"... Ah..." Skoodge gasped a bit as he remembers, "I... I can't believe I forgotten about that..."

"At the very least, don't you remember me?!" Min-Jung called out.

Skoodge turns around and gives a better look at Min-Jung, which his eyes widen in shock and mumbles, "You're... you're the girl comforted me..."

"Wait! You two knew each other?!" Harumi asked in shock.

"We only met once..." Min-Jung told her.

(Flashback/Skoodge's POV)

Back in SEG Academy, there was a battle tournament going on where the only rules are no ancient weapons such as Fiona's spear, Don's armour and Lily's blades, so those three have to use a weaker, flimsy copies of them, and no killing. I remembered I was very nervous as, while I am a capable invader, I'm not exactly a combat person.

I didn't want to humiliate myself. It's bad enough so many people thrown me aside cuz of my race, even my own species due to how short and ugly I was. I was basically the loser at the time. Nobody... nobody wants to be near me. Until...

"Hey there!"

I looked up and met Min-Jung, who I only see her as that female werewolf. Werewolves are not only infamous for their strong rivalry with vampires since they're natural enemies, they're also known for their wilderness lifestyle and having tribes and such, along with their savage and brutal fighting styles as they fight like a wolf; they scratch, they bite and it hurts... a lot.

A-Anyways, to say I was nervous is an understatement, instead Min-Jung just smiles at me and asks, "I never seen you before. What's your name?"

"... A... Skoodge..." I answered.

"Oh! You're the guy going up against Dib next!" Min-Jung realised. "Looks like you have quite a challenge up ahead, huh?"

"Y... yeah..."

"You're surprisingly meek for a irken."

"I... I get that..." I replied softly as I looked down on the floor.

Back than, I hated my own meekness cuz it made me an outcast of my own species. It's bad enough I'm very short and fat, my personality made it even worse that I was called weak, pathetic and foolish.

"You look pretty sad." Min-Jung noticed as she sits next to me.

"Wha-what are you doing?!" I asked in shock.

"Well, what does it look like?" Min-Jung replied in a shockingly relaxed tone. "I'm keeping you company!"

"Ah... ahem... why, though?" I asked her, "What about... ahem... your friends...?"

"They can wait!" She told me, "Besides, there's hardly any friendly irkens here, and you seem pretty cool enough."

"C-Cool?!"

"Yep!" She replied. "So, tell me about yourself, maybe after this match, we could hang out with my friends..."

We talked to each other for a few minutes, though during those few minutes, where I found out her name is Min-Jung. I always felt a nasty glare behind my back, but I wasn't sure what it was...

"That was Keef." Min-Jung told him.

"K-Major Keef?!" He asked in shock.

"Yep, he was spying on us at the time," Min-Jung told him, "It was also while we were still dating... and the next day, he broke up with me after being a year together all because of his stupid trust issues!"

"... I... I'm sorry..." Skoodge told her.

"Don't be. I deserve better than that asshole anyways," Min-Jung ensured him, "Besides, we never had a very healthy relationship looking back... it was pretty toxic. Let's not talk about it, okay?"

"A... Alright..."

She talks about her friends, where I learnt is Lily Abernathy, the adopted daughter of a disgraced nobleman, Fiona, heiress of the Gerasal Kingdom, and finally... Dib Membrane, the humanity's hero. I chuckled a little and said, "Wow... you're friends with very famous people... so... why are you here?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked me.

"I'm a loser... everyone thinks I am..." I told her, "Why... why would you want to hang out with an irken nobody respects... not even his fellow species. I'm short and ugly, anyways..."

"Hey! Don't say that!" Min-Jung comforted me, "Who told you that?"

"... My Tallests..."

The Tallests had always looked down on me due to my short stature. Even when I managed to accomplish so many things as an invader, they refuse to acknowledge it. Even other irkens looked down on me, but than...

"Fuck those guys!" Min-Jung told me.

"H-Huh?!"

"You heard me!" Min-Jung replied. "I never understood the whole taller means you're better thing. That's just height complex to the max. It's really stupid, if you ask me!"

"I... I... a bunch of Earthworms like you wouldn't understand!" I yelled at her.

"Well, maybe I don't want to understand," Min-Jung replied. "Besides, I'm sure you accomplished many things despite your height, right?"

"..."

"I'm right, aren't I?" Min-Jung replied, "Just think about it. Okay?"

"I... okay..."

"Good," Min-Jung replied as she gotten up and stretched her arms, "Good luck out there. Prove those uptight bastards a lesson!"

(Flashback ends)

"I... it was you, again..." Skoodge mumbled. "If it wasn't for you, I would have to lose on purpose on that tournament..."

"Wait! You meant to lose to me on purpose?!" Dib asked in shock.

"Yeah... the Tallests told me that I have to lose on purpose or else I'll lose my invader rank," Skoodge explained. "Of course... I end up winning that fight... and lost my rank..."

"I... I didn't know that!" Min-Jung freaked out.

"It's alright, at least in the end, I survived the super serum testing," Skoodge muttered.

"The what now?!" Lily asked, "I never heard of this."

"Shit... ahem... it's a confidential secret to the Empire," Skoodge admitted. "I shouldn't have said that..."

"That's not important!" Mikala told them. "What's important is that you let us out right now!"

"I... I..."

Before Skoodge could even answer, a sudden explosion happened. The group turns to see Aezira and Sebastian, who's carrying Zim on his back.

"Z... Zim!" Skoodge gasped in shock once he notices his horrific injuries, "Oh... oh... oh my god... what happened...?"
