TOON WARS Chapter 8: The Debut
By Frozarburst
"The Artificial Intelligence Program, KAREN, has detected a new world in grave danger. The mighty Toon Force prepare for their first mission to a place outside the borders of their dimension. With their weapons ready for combat, the Nicktoons head off through the Neutron Portal."
Jimmy Neutron: We're in hyperspace now! Only a few more minutes before our first objective!
Danny Phantom: I don't know about this Jimmy. This "Amazing World" is much newer than the ones we've seen, and you said they come from another dimension. Don't you think they may go against us?
Jimmy: Not necessarily. Even some of the newer worlds we've met can be pretty faithful to the older ones. I mean, remember when we met Lincoln Loud? He and his siblings weren't that bad.
Timmy Turner: Yeah, because he was one of us.
Kitty Katswell: Hey, lighten up boys! We shouldn't be doubting them on the spot like that. I remember when I first met you guys and you didn't even say hi!
Timmy: That was because we thought we already met you! Besides, you look like someone from my world! We couldn't help it!
Jenny: At least you didn't have to work with us a few times. I only met the Toon Force cause the Toybots tried to attack my world one day. But just in case you didn't say it already, how did you learn of a Toon War?
Kitty: The HQ was blown up.
Danny: Oh man. What happened?
Kitty: It was an assault. Multiple different people from several other worlds came and attacked the place. There was even an explosion that took out the building, and left small traces of honey along the way. But at least I still have Dudley. He's a good boy.
Jimmy: Hopefully today won't be like that again. Right now, I'm reading multiple signals going off. I'm not sure if we're too late or we're just making it.
Danny: Well, we're definitely gonna find out! (Goes Ghost)
Timmy: Here we go again!
Hyperspace ends and the Toon Force lands safely on the ground near an empty street that was under attack by the Toybots and Syndicate Morphoids. The buildings appear to be more modern than usual, and the houses are blocked off by police cars.
Jimmy: My scanners aren't picking up anything anymore.
Danny: Look at this place. We may be too late.
Timmy: Or maybe the people are in their houses.
Jimmy: Could be. There are police cars barricading the place…and giant doughnuts, with just tasers. (Examines a dead doughnut person) Huh.
Jenny: Hehe. They're perfectly modeled too. Reminds me of how I somehow keep losing depth when I visit Timmy's world. Speaking of which, how come none of us ever get bulgy when we visit your world now, Jimmy?
Jimmy: I'm not sure. And I'd really hate to say it since it defies all science, but based on what's been happening recently, it's safe to assume we've upset the balance of design, what with all these worlds trying to kill us. I think.
Kitty comes towards a nearby house and knocks on the door.
Kitty knocking: Hello?!
Timmy: Anybody home?!
Danny looks around the street and goes intangible into the houses, yet finds no one.
Danny: I don't see anybody. The entire neighborhood is deserted, except for those doughnuts and cars.
Timmy takes a bite out of one.
Timmy: They taste good too!
Jimmy: It's possible these doughnuts were sentient at some point.
Kitty: A sentient doughnut?
Jimmy: Yes! The number of sweets in this area are the same as the number of signals on my scanners.
Jenny: Maybe they were turned into doughnuts. Or worse…
Danny: They were always doughnuts.
Jimmy: Well, at least it's not a living lima bean. (Scans Doughnut Head)
Suddenly, the doughnut opens its eyes and screams
Doughnut: AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Everyone: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Doughnut: F-find…N…N…
Jimmy holding the man: What is it? Speak to me!
Doughnut: Wa-Watterson… (Dies)
Jenny: I might have leaked some oil.
Kitty: So...that thing really was sentient.
Danny: He said something about a Watterson and that we had to find them.
Jimmy: Well, seeing that there's nobody here, and he's just talking about one guy, whoever this person is sounds important.
Timmy: Does this mean we get to go on another hunt?
Jimmy: Pretty much. But knowing the circumstances we're in, it might not take long to find them.
Kitty: Guess there's no use getting Dudley then. He's likely gonna sniff out another doughnut in a corner somewhere.
Danny: And Zim said the Tallests were aiming for a tour before Goobot showed up, and he decided to bail and give it to them.
Jenny: Well, we'd better make sure we do the best we can. Let's go! (Deploys jets and flies in the air)
Two Hours Later…
Danny opens a closet in a house with bags underneath his eyes.
Danny: We've checked every house, basement, closet, bathroom, restroom, office, backyard, and sewer on this entire block. And there's no sign of Water Guy anywhere!
Timmy: I need to eat!
Kitty scratching her head and licking her arm: I need milk…
Jimmy: Yeah. And I need to go back and feed Goddard.
Meanwhile, Goddard is in Jimmy's lab eating a fire extinguisher foam and some wiring.
Jenny in the air: Still no luck finding the missing person guys. I get the feeling he isn't- (Gets life signals) Jimmy…I think I found the Watterson. I'm sending you the coordinates!
Jimmy: Guys, Jenny's got something!
Timmy jumps in the air: Wohoo!
Danny: Alright! Where is it?
Jimmy: Over to that school! Quick, let's hurry in case something comes up!
The Toon Force rushes over the modern-looking school with colored doors that seem to have been damaged from combat. The name of the school is Elmore Junior High. The heroes keep running through the halls to the second floor where the meet Jenny near the lockers on the side near a classroom.
Jimmy: Good job Jenny! We thought we would never find this guy!
Danny: Is he in this classroom?
Jenny: No. I already checked in there. He's either underneath the floors, or maybe…
Jenny takes the nearest locker and opens it. Everyone looks inside and are instantly shocked at who it is.
Timmy: Um, Mrs. Katswell, is this one of your relatives?
Kitty: Shut up! He looks nothing like me! But he is cute. (Smiles)
A small blue cat emerges from the locker, startled by everyone.
Gumball shyly waving his hand around: Uh...hey..?
Everyone: Daaw…
Gumball: Ok, now I'm terrified!
Jimmy: It's ok little fella. We won't hurt you.
Gumball: That's what everyone else told me and look what happened.
Jimmy: No, really. We're just here to help. Someone told us to come find you when we thought you were in danger.
Gumball: Well I was until I squeezed in this locker. (Takes his head and mushes it back in place from the small locker)
Danny: What happened?
Gumball: I don't know. Something to do with toys and boogers?
Timmy: Yep. That's the Syndicate.
Jimmy: It's a good thing you're alright. The Syndicate is a powerful trio of super villains out to fuel the flames of war!
Gumball: Eh. It's to be expected. My world is already weird as it is and I've crossed over a few times before. I can never grow old for one thing!
Danny: Well, you'd definitely like to meet Spongebob. Heck, he's practically immortal. And it's not out of the ordinary for us to go to another dimension and expect something like this.
Jimmy: Still, if you're a kid, and you're the only one out here who the doughnut police even mentioned, does that mean you've fought the Syndicate's forces too?
Gumball pointing to the locker: I hid in a locker, whippy dip!
Timmy: Maybe someone else did it. The officer never said anything about Watterdude being a kid.
Gumball: Wait, did you say either Watterson, Watterdude, or Thiccboi?
Jimmy: Um...the first one..?
Gumball winking: You've hit the lottery! That's my last name!
Timmy: Oh, well that was easy! Still don't know why that officer mentioned your last name out of every missing person in the neighborhood though.
Gumball: My street's empty..?!
Kitty: Yes. But don't worry kid. We'll find them and stop whoever or whatever took them! And we'll take good care of your adorableness...
Jimmy: For now, welcome to the Toon Force!
Gumball: I don't wanna burst your bubbles, but I'm probably not the one your-
Suddenly a loud bang goes off in the school's gymnasium!
Timmy: What was that?!
Jimmy: That sounded like an explosion!
Suddenly, the floor collapses and the heroes land near the gymnasium where a massive hole is broken into the bleachers and the walls. Vlad has arrived!
Vlad hovering towards everyone: Hello Watterson. You've been a really bad kitty today.
Gumball: What?!
Danny: Vlad! So you're the one behind this!
Vlad: Indeed, my boy. The Syndicate had used their Morphoids and Toybots to capture all the inhabitants of this twisted abomination of a city. Though there are still a few others left to catch. And out of all the resistance we've faced, we've had yet to defeat the so-called "Watterson."
Jimmy and Timmy: This kid?!
Gumball: Me?!
Vlad: Yes! Although I must admit I thought he'd be taller like Crocker had described him. But it can't be helped. You may have defeated the rest of the Syndicate, but you have yet to prove yourself to me! (Spawns Ghost Energy Spheres)
