Jimmy Neutron: The Retroville Purge
The Strange Invaders
There it was; a giant Praetorian ship, coming out of light-speed & approaching the earth. The leader on the ship smiled. It was night, & all life-forms were asleep.
Leader - Engage hyper-ventilation rocket-fuel combustors.
Controller – Yes, sir!
Leader– Ensure that a group of humans penetrates the underground tunnels underneath their little town.
Controller – Yes, sir! Activating hyper-holographic laser emitter!
The ship's main gun, a giant laser beam, penetrates the ground in the local park. The laser cuts a hole large enough for the average human-being to enter it.
Leader – Excellent…. Everything is going as I have planned…….
With that, the ship commander leaves the earth, leaving a space capsule behind to let the beast inside it wreak havoc. Back at the lab, Jimmy was just cleaning up to get to bed when the Alien Alert Beacon started ringing.
Jimmy – What?! The Alien Alert Beacon is going off! There must be an alien craft within Earth's atmosphere!
The scope which Jimmy installed in his lab's roof starts scanning for an unknown vehicle. Nothing.
Jimmy - Nothing is in sight?? Wait a minute…. (The scope is zooming in on the giant laser-cut hole in the park). Holy-Heisenberg! That hole wasn't there yesterday!
Getting his hover-car, he flies to the hole to take an observation of it. He then begins to go into the hole. He does, & mysteriously, the hole has an underground lab & rooms. There are two ways in, & he takes the right pathway. He walks into the first room down the pathway & the doors behind him seal-up. He is then caught in the craziest maze since Alice in Wonderland. He looks around. He sees the head of a dead creature nailed in the wall. What he doesn't know is that the creature in the capsule has escaped in the maze. Jimmy, if not rescued, will become the newest food for it. He finds a place to hide & sleep in for now. He knows that there is no way out.
The next morning, the police have the hole blocked-off. The public is curious on what the hole's origin is. The police move a SWAT Team in the hole to check it out. The team is going through & reports a maze (They went in a different entrance than Jimmy did). The creature, having spotting them, moves in stealthily. The team's member in the back is taken first. The team moves on for only two more minutes before realizing that a member is missing. The leader walks back to see where he is & is attacked by two creatures, & torn apart out of sight of the SWAT team. Only having three members left, the team makes a quick retreat & is quickly overrun by the two creatures. The last member, running away from the slaughter of the other members, is blocked off by one of them. Having two creatures behind him, he shoots himself. Unfortunately for Jimmy, now there are four creatures running loose in the maze. The creatures roar in triumph & continue on towards the entrances of the maze.
Meanwhile, at school, Jimmy's friends are wondering where Jimmy is.
Carl - Hey, Sheen. Have you seen Jimmy this morning?
Sheen– Nope. Sorry, Carl. I haven't seen him since yesterday.
Cindy & Libby also talk to Carl & Sheen about Jimmy's absence.
Cindy – Neutron's probably bringing one of his cracky inventions to school & that's why he's late.
Carl – Yeah. I hope your right, Cindy.
Libby – Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going with my mom today to check out that cool hole in the park. I heard it was made over-night.
Cindy – Stop right there! You say it was made over-night??
Libby – Yeah, it's all over the news.
Carl – Maybe Jimmy went to check it out!
Sheen – Why didn't he ask us to come???!!!
Cindy – Would you stop! He probably made the hole & is now in hiding. We need to find him. Where would he hide?
Carl – In his lab?
Sheen – Yes. Or in China….?
Libby – Why would he hide in China? You Yee lives there. You Yee would take him prisoner.
Cindy – Would he move in with Brobot?
Carl – Maybe. Brobot is his brother.
Libby – No! He thinks Brobot is annoying, and would not move in with him.
Carl – Well, how else do you explain the crater?
Cindy – Hm….. Carl's right. How could the crater have originated there overnight?
Sheen – Maybe Jimmy crashed & made the crater. Or, Ultra lord is real!
The other three friends just look at him, & reason among themselves that Jimmy must be on some sort of vacation.
Inside the maze, Jimmy is busy inventing a super-laser beamer when he runs out of wire. He goes into a nearby supply shed to get some and hears some groaning. As he is looking, he stumbles upon someone we all know! As she gets up, she looks at him, frightened.
Girl – Jimmy? What are you doing down here?!
Jimmy – Betty Quinlan?? Why are you in here??!!
Betty – I came here to find out what this place is.
Jimmy – How did you get in here without the main doors closing?
Betty – I didn't step on the movement sensor.
Jimmy, thinking for a second, just has an awkward face for a minute. Betty giggles.
Jimmy – Wait a minute- there was a movement sensor??
Betty – Yes. I thought you knew that. What made you come into the closet??
Jimmy – I ran out of wire. I was making something to get out of here.
Betty – Well, I hid in here because I heard a loud roar from the maze! It scared me half-to-death!
Jimmy – What do you mean loud roar??
Betty – A loud, angry creature cry. Any other good enough description?
Jimmy – Well, I guess not.
Betty – Also, when the roar scared me, I backed into the wall over there and turned around to see a mysterious painting. It seemed to say that there is some sort of giant creature in here. Look at the painting, Jimmy!
After looking carefully at the painting, Jimmy gasps and loses his balance.
Betty – What? What is it?
Jimmy – Apparently, there is a creature in here by the name of Alien, supposedly left here to wreak havoc on Retroville. It inserts embryos into its victims' mouths, and the embryos eat the host from the inside. They burst out of the host after a stage of metamorphosis; and then it will hunt down food for the parent.
At that, a large shrill cry is heard from the maze.
Betty – Now I am scared!
Betty looks scared to death, but Jimmy comforts her.
Jimmy – Don't worry. We'll be found before the creature finds us. I hope…….
Meanwhile, the main alien, Predalien, is beginning to work its way out of the maze. As for the crowd, it cleared a little while back. The predalien breaks through the police barriers, with destruction of two cop cars, and a few deaths, as the aliens behind it slaughter the remaining officers. The officers don't even get a chance to report the aliens.
Pretty cool, huh? The story gets even better, as I add a few more classical characters to it!
