Prologue

In order to ensure continued positive relations between Irk and Vort, scientist Lard Nar brought Almighty Tallest Miyuki an unconventional gift: a mysterious alien baby from an unknown planet. Lard is insistent that this child, Dib, is destined to grow up to be a genius, and he is enrolled in the Irken Academy so he can study to become a scientist. There, he meets Zim, a troublesome student from the senior class who will undoubtedly be a terrible influence on him. Through their unlikely friendship, the two of them will face off against all odds. But little do they know, there are circumstances that this friendship may not be able to withstand.
