"Speaking"

Thinking

Voice Effect/Disembodied Voice


In front of Timmy's house,a large green glowing swirl burst into view and the team of three soon emerged,however the Portal was too high off the ground,causing the three to fall and land on top of each other with a thump.

"Ooph! What the?" Danny looked up and saw how they fell. "Jimmy,why did you set the Portal like that?" he asked,nudging said boy genius off him as Jenny rose to her metallic feet.

"Ow,hey! What are you-" He also looked up. "Oh. That's...weird. I didn't set it that high,I set it right above the sidewalk. Why did the coordinates mess up?"

Jimmy rolled onto his knees and stood,when he did,he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. "Does anyone else...feel that?"

"Feel what?" Jenny asked.

"Is it some weird pressure?" Danny said,responding with a question.

Jimmy's dark blue eyes seemed to cloud over for a moment,indicating he was thinking. "I guess you could call it that."

"Then yeah,I feel it too."

"Guys! Feel what?" Jenny asked again.

"I'm not sure. It just feels like there's some kind of heavy pressure here. Kinda like being crushed by a sense of danger."

Jenny's eyes lowered. "Hm,I think I feel something like that. It's not like,crushing me or anything,it's kinda faint actually,but it's there."

"Could this pressure have messed the Portal up? Maybe that's why it's in the wrong place." Danny theorized. He was just throwing out ideas,but he figured it would make sense.

"It is possible. Though I obviously can't say for sure." Jimmy answered. "Come on,let's go see if we can figure out what's going on."

The two older kids nodded,and the triple threat began walking slowly down the sidewalk. The sky was a milky gray and there was debris and trash everywhere. Houses were damaged and cars were either upside-down or on their side. The unnerving scene worried the three.

While the other two were mostly looking straight ahead,the reason for it he didn't know,Jimmy's gaze was all over the place.

What could have caused this to occur? Timmy was here,and he said he was handling it! Whatever this freakazoid he mentioned was,he should've been dealing with it! How did Dimmsdale end up so far gone?

"Uh,Jimmy?" Jenny suddenly asked,snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Hm? Oh,yeah?" He turned to her.

"What's that?" she asked,pointing to a car that was standing normally. What wasn't normal about it though,were the pair of glowing red eyes emanating from beneath it.

"Um,if I were to guess...something we don't want getting near us."

"Well,I think it's a little late for that!" Danny exclaimed as the creature began to crawl from underneath the vehicle. It resembled some kind of canine that had fur glittering with red sparkles and it bore two frilled black wings that reflected what little light there was.

It growled and bore it's sharp fang-like teeth at the Nicktoons,swishing it's tail back and forth.

All three took a step back.

"What is that thing!?" Jenny whispered,voice expressing slight hysteria.

"I have no idea,but Jimmy was right on one thing,it sure doesn't look friendly."

With that,the creature threw it's head up towards the sky and let out a spine-chilling howl. The pitch and volume caused the Nicktoons to all cover their ears and shut their eyes tightly.

"Ugh! What is it doing!?" Jimmy asked no one in particular,doubting the other two knew.

Neither answered.

After a moment,the noise ceased and the three opened their eyes and Jimmy's question was answered. People started walking toward them slowly,with their mouths hanging open and eyes glazed over,emitting a searing red cloud of light. Jimmy recognized some,and some he didn't.

"Oh,man! That thing's controlling the people! This must be the thing Timmy was talking about!" Danny said.

With that realization,all three got in battle stances and geared up for a fight.

Seeing this,the creature barked and all the people charged forward. One leapt at Danny,but he quickly sprang into the air and knocked him down with a kick to the head.

Two others,a girl and a boy ran at Jimmy,who,thinking quickly as was his nature,waited until the were right in front of him and then blasted them with his weapon. The sharp gust of air struck the boy down,but the girl dodged. She then ran behind him and kicked his legs out from under him. He let out a cry of surprise as he fell to the ground,dropping his blaster.

Rolling onto his back, the girl threw herself onto him and grabbed his wrists,her face contorted into a snarl. He struggled,trying to free his arms,letting out a grunt of annoyance as he tried. He knew he wasn't the strongest guy around,but it both puzzled and insulted him that he couldn't even fight off the strength of a little girl,then he saw the glowing red wisps of energy around her own wrists and he quickly figured out what was wrong.

Whatever that creature did,it's making them stronger. What should I do? He wondered,as he turned his head away from the in-human facial expression she was making.

That was when he realized that while his arms were restrained,he legs weren't. Smirking,he lifted his feet and kicked out at the girl ,hitting her square in the chest. She squealed and reared back in pain,letting him go. Taking the opportunity,he quickly grabbed his weapon and fired it at her,sending her tumbling to the ground as well.

Quickly getting back to his feet,he realized he had been holding his breath the whole time,as he now felt how tight his own chest felt.
Seeing this,Jenny smacked her male attacker off of her shoulder,and then gave him a saddened look as she hated that she had to harm humans.

"You okay?"

Jimmy held up a finger,signalling her to wait a second and then coughed for a moment and gasped. "Yup,I'm good."

She raised an eye-ridge. "You sure?"

He gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his neck. "Trust me,I'm fine. Compared to what I'm used to,girls are nothing."

His face snapped into a look that said; 'Oh crud' and then it turned to one that expressed nervousness. "Erm...no offense."

Jenny let out a laugh of her own and waved it off. "Don't worry about it."

"Uh,guys!? Can I get a little help over here!?"

Jenny and Jimmy both turned to see Danny trying to fight off the rest of the hoard,who were all trying to grab him and pull him down. He knew he could just blast them off with an Ecto-Ray,but like the others he wanted to avoid seriously injuring these people as they were just people.

"No problem!" Jenny responded, activating her boosters and leaping forward.

She charged at a fast enough speed that she would barrel through them without seriously hurting them and she knocked most of them off Danny as he kicked out knocking the rest off.

Most of them laid there and didn't get back up while the others ran off. The three then glared at the thing that started it. All that was left was the creature. Danny shot an Ecto-Blast straight it it from his eyes and it was struck head-on. It rolled into the air and dove down,headed right for him.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes and slid in front of the phantom.

When it came within range,he struck it in the head with his weapon,not bothering to fire it and it hit the ground rolling. The three remained in defensive stances until it stopped moving.

Jimmy huffed and placed his weapon in a loop on his waist. "And that's that."

"Whew,thank jobs that's over with." Jenny remarked,wiping her forehead.

Danny smirked at the younger boy and nudged him with his elbow. "That was pretty hardcore Jim,never seen ya do that before."

He gave him a look. "What? Attack something with my blaster?"

"No,you knucklehead. Whacking something with a blunt object. Usually you're all about strategy and whatnot. You usually don't resort to brute force. That's what Timmy tries to do. Emphasis on tries."

Yeah...there's a reason I tend to turn away from brute force,and it's not because I think there's a better way... Jimmy shrugged. "Well,I felt like a good whack would've been best. I'm sure it hit it harder than an actual air blast would've. Besides,it felt kinda good to knock something sideways for a change.

Danny high-fived him. "You bet it does!"

"Anyways..." Jenny interrupted,trying to get back to the situation at hand. "So,shouldn't the town go back to normal? We defeated the thing that attacked...so why aren't the people coming around?"

They looked around and noticed that the red glow hadn't vanished from the eyes of the people and nothing seemed to be improving.

"And we still haven't found Timmy." Danny pointed out.

"Hm,maybe it wasn't the thing that attacked. Maybe it was just a minion."

Danny's eyes went wide,the green glow flashing for a moment. "If that was just a minion,I don't wanna know who the main bad guy is. Or at the very least I hope we don't run into any more of them."

A snarl then emanated from behind them.

"Gosh darn it Danny!" Jenny exclaimed ,glaring at him.

"Hey! I didn't mean to jinx it!"

"Guys! Not the time!" Jimmy had his hand over his sidearm and was about to lift it out of it's holder,when he felt someone lift from from under the arms.

"Hey! What the-"

"Relax." Danny told him.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting us outta here! Come on,Jen!"

"One second!"

Jenny lagged behind slightly as Danny flew off with Jimmy. She appeared to take a breath,and blew out right after and as she did a cloud of smoke flew from her mouth and blinded the other creature. With a smile and a nod,she flew off and caught up with them quickly.

"There. Now it won't be able to follow us."

"Good idea Jen!" Danny complimented,as she gave a slight blush.

"I didn't know you could do that."

"It's something I just got installed. Really helps when I'm outnumbered." She explained.

"Makes sense,I should try making smoke bombs for Timmy and I. That could really help."

"Sounds like a good idea to me,Jimmy."

The three flew for a while,hoping to find the real villain who was behind Dimmsdale's destruction. Jimmy occasionally fidgeted in Danny's grasp,stating that he didn't really like being carried or man-handled as he referred to it as. Danny only rolled his eyes and kept flying. Despite the three being known for keeping their spirits high no matter what,the gloomy gray sky and lack of life was starting to coat them in a blanket of depression.

They had seen sad sights before,but nothing like this. For Danny,it also seemed to give him a feeling of fatigue. His vision swam once or twice and his mind seemed to cloud a bit. After a while,he thought he heard something. It sounded sort of like singing.

"Did you guys hear that?" he asked.

"Hear what? " Jenny asked back.

"That weird singing."

She gave him a 'Yeah right' look. "Singing? Really? Come on,why would some random person be singing in the middle of...well,this?"

"I'm kinda with her on this one." Jimmy laughed. "You're probably just hearing things."

Danny simply pouted and gave a small growl of annoyance while the other two laughed.

As they flew,he swore he could hear it getting louder and louder. As it did,he began feeling more and more tired,until he could barely keep his eyes open.

Jenny noticed this and gave him a look of concern. "Danny,are you okay? You don't look like you're all there."

He gave no answer as his vision finally faded. Both Jenny and Jimmy let out a cry of fear and surprise when Danny morphed back into human form and began to plummet,with Jimmy right behind him.

"Danny! Wake up!" Jimmy cried,as the wind whipped his face and he shut his eyes.

Jenny was about to dive down after them,but suddenly a strangely soothing harmony assaulted her hearing sensors and she found herself stuck rigid in the air. Her irises had shrunk and everything seemed to stop for her,except for her mind. She knew currently that her new friends were falling to their deaths,but she was being held back by some unseen force.

Her mind was going a mile-a-minute as she fought to break free. She was programmed to protect humanity so her head was almost exploding with her subconscious yelling at her to move.

Her body twitched as she let out a grunt. To her it felt like she had been chained mid-air and she couldn't break them. Then,right before she was about to scream out in frustration,another harmony came to her,this one was different somehow,though she couldn't really say why. All she knew was that it shattered the metaphorical chains and she instantly dove down without a second thought.

By now they were far from her and too close to the ground for her liking,and Jimmy was nearly scared out of his mind. His attempts to rouse the Ghost Hybrid were in vain as the boy didn't even stir and he couldn't think of any way to save himself. Jenny had frozen up for some reason,and he felt almost betrayed. Knowing he would probably have to save himself and what to do if you're falling from a great height,he tried to find something with give,but all there was was pavement. Lot's of bone crushing pavement.

Suddenly,a VERY welcome voice shouted out to him. There was Jenny,just barely out of his reach.

"Jimmy! Give me your hand!" she shouted.

"What about Danny!?" he screamed against the wind.

Her eyes flashed with an emotion. He squinted and saw that it was anguish.

Is she having to choose who to save here? Why would she pick me over him?
Then it hit him. Women will always save the youngest.

He scowled at her and reached out for Danny's shirt,but couldn't quite reach him as his arm wasn't long enough.

Jenny's face turned desperate as did her voice. "Jimmy! Stop! He'll be fine,just grab my hand!"

He wasn't one to give up that easily. He continued to reach out as familiar mocking words echoed in his head. Who's going to save you? A little boy with an outrageously large head and puny arms?

"Grrr..." He could start to feel the strain on his arm and to him it felt like he was gonna dislocate it ,before he could pull his hand back though, his own words echoed in his head; Hey! I still beat you!

You bet,I did!

He snapped open his eyes and with a look of determination,he made one final effort and grabbed Danny's jumpsuit collar and then reached out for Jenny again,this time succeeding. When she realized this,she grunted as she resisted gravity,flying back up. She then found a place to land and then collapsed onto her rear as the others followed suit.

"Thanks...Jenny...I owe you one."

"Don't mention it...I'm just glad you both are okay. I was terrified I was gonna have to pick and choose who's life I saved. Thank you for not making me have to make that choice. I really didn't want to see either of you become a spot on the sidewalk."

Jimmy placed a hand on his heart,he could still feel it beating in fear. He took and breath and tried to calm down,while looking at the unconscious boy.

What in the world happened? He was fine one second and the next he collapsed mid-air and almost kills me! Not to mention,that even though she did save me...Jenny froze up for some reason and scared me half to death!

He eyes lowered into a glare and his dark blue eyes clouded over with anger.

"Jimmy? What's wrong?" she asked in a soft tone.

"I know someone can't help unconsciousness,but if there was something wrong he should've told us! I nearly died because he didn't feel like telling us!"

Jenny quickly waved her hands in front of her,signaling him to hold on. "Wait,wait,wait! Hold on a sec! I think he did."

He raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Remember when he said he heard singing?"

"Yeah?"

Jenny looked away sheepishly. "Well,I think he was telling the truth. When you two started falling,I was going to dive down and save you right away,but I started to hear singing too,and then my whole body went rigid and I couldn't move. It was...pretty freaky."

Jimmy blinked in surprise and thought about it for a moment. Well,sound can indeed have negative effects on people...and certain frequencies could cause issues with Jenny...but singing? I've never heard of singing causing someone to lose consciousness or lose control over their body. Breathing maybe,but losing total control?

"I don't know what's going on..." Jenny continued,regaining the younger boy's attention. "But whatever it is,we need to be careful. This singing nearly cost the two of you and heaven knows what it could do to me."

Jimmy nodded. "Yes,you're righ-"

"Uraagh..." A groan emanated from Danny and the two saw him slowly returning to the waking world. His eyes were green for a split second,but then he blinked and they were back to blue. He rose onto his knees and placed a hand on his head. "What happened?"

"You nearly killed the both of us." Jimmy answered,deadpan.

He looked at the younger boy with confusion. "Say what now?" He looked around that he was no longer in his ghost form or in the air for that matter. "Did I fall?"

"Yeah,you randomly passed out and decided to free-fall with Jimmy." Jenny answered.

"What!? Aw,man! I didn't-"

Jimmy held up a hand. "Relax,it's okay. We're alive and that's all that matters." He then gave him a smile.

Danny smiled back and laughed,then grabbed him and messed up his hair. "Hey!" he yelled in objection.

Jenny chuckled at the playfulness,and turned her head to scan her surroundings,what she saw though made her eyes go wide. "Uh,guys?"

"Yeah?" Both asked in unison.

"Is that...uh,normal?" she asked back,pointing into the sky.

There before them was a large mass of what appeared to be dark thunder clouds. They were bunched together and lightning crackled and sparked along the outsides. Just as they were looking at it,lightning flashed,illuminating and startling the three. The clouds themselves seemed unhappy with their presence. For a second they all thought they saw a frown in the mess of noir*.

"Last I checked,no." Jimmy finally answered,getting to his feet along with Danny. He squinted again and noticed something odd about it.

"Call me crazy,but...I think that thing has structure."

Jenny cocked her head. "What do you mean?"

He pointed out to it. "Look at it. Clouds normally are just condensed water vapor,so they appear as just weightless mist,but those look almost like someone took a bunch of cloud-shaped pillows and made them into a shelter of some kind."

"So they don't look like normal storm clouds?" Danny affirmed.

"Yeah,pretty much."

"Ah."

"Hm..." Jenny looked over the cloud structure,and wondered; Could that be where...?

"Hey guys,you can go ahead and call me crazy,but...could that be where the culprit of...this is hiding?"

"What gives you that idea?" Danny asked.

She shrugged. "Well,think about it. If you were some super villain,wouldn't you hide somewhere weird and semi-menacing? Somewhere where people would have trouble getting to you?"

Hearing that made the two boys remember the first issue they'd had with the Syndicate,and how their hideout had been just that. Weird and hard to locate. So to them it was indeed plausible. Lightning flashed again,nearly blinding the trio.

"It's entirely possible. Every super villain I've ever seen always has some kind of evil lair,and well..." He removed his hands for his eyes and looked at the mess of clouds again. "That pretty much fits an evil lair to a T."

"So,we're gonna go check it out?" Danny asked,transforming back into his ghost half.

"I'm...not sure. That electricity could be a bit hazardous." Jimmy then let out a yelp as he was lifted again. "Hey!"

"Well,there may not even be an inside,but we should still take a look." Danny let out a laugh as Jimmy gave him a scowl. "Don't worry,I won't drop you again."
Jenny giggled to herself as Jimmy folded his arms and pouted as the three took off.

As they neared it,that unnerving pressure that they felt earlier started to become unbearable. It was like if you could smother someone with a physical pillow of depression,that was what it felt like. They began flying around it slowly,and noticed that it did indeed have an inner portion,and it looked like you could stand on it like a carpeted floor. The electricity surging through the place looked small up close and at most,Jimmy determined that would just give off a slight static shock,and it wouldn't be much harm to them as long as they were careful.

"Alright,guys. Let's go and see what we find." Jimmy stated. All three then flew in and landed. Believe it or not,the clouds actually did feel like carpet. Plush carpet.

Danny let Jimmy down and the three took a small look around. The structure seemed to only have one large,dark room that looked identical to the outside,only it was even darker because most of the light was blotted out. The only real light was what came off the sparks dancing near them.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here..." Jenny said,softly with an unsure tone. For some reason she felt the need to whisper.

"Then what the heck is this for? Why would there be a random room made of storm clouds in the middle of the sky in Dimmsdale?"

"I'm not sure,Danny. Maybe it's used in their plot somehow..." Jimmy answered.

"Hm...now there's an idea. Not sure how I'd implement this into my plan though."

Everyone froze instantly. That voice seemed to come from all around them and it was unknown to them all.

"Who's there!?" Danny shouted into the abyss in front of them.

There was no answer.

"I said,who's there!?" he shouted again. "Show yourself!" Jimmy followed up.

The voice responded this time. "And why should I? You're obviously here because you wanna pick a fight. After all,you,a robot chick and mister glowing eyes over there aren't exactly the friendliest sight to behold."

"Well,newsflash,but a giant lair made of storm clouds,black winged wolves,and mind-controlled people aren't exactly the friendliest sight either." Jenny retorted as Danny growled and allowed his glowing eyes to flare as his hand lit up with energy.

"Ooh,how threatening,you can turn your hand into a light bulb. I'm so SCARED!" With that last word,a bolt of lightning crashed right in front of the ghost boy,causing him to let out a surprised cry and leap backwards into the air. "Gah! Watch it will ya?"

"Why are you here? What are you after in Dimmsdale!? Why did you destroy the whole city!?" Jimmy bombarded the voice in the clouds with questions,and it didn't feel like answering.

"I'm giving you the short answer,because I really don't feel like explaining myself. I felt like it."

"You felt like it!?" Jimmy shouted,letting his rage loose. Jenny quickly grabbed his shoulders.

"Don't let it get to you." Then she looked ahead. "I'm only gonna say this once,whoever you are. Leave this place alone or you're gonna regret it!"

The voice laughed. "Oh,I've heard those words before and the boy who dared to utter them got what was coming to him. Unless you wanna end up the same way,I suggest you shut up!"

Jimmy and Danny gasped. Timmy!

"What did you do with him you jerk!?" Danny shouted,now also expressing his anger.

"Yeah,where's Turner!?"

The voice laughed again. "Oh,that's right! How'd I not notice before? You're the Nicktoons,am I right? I should've figured you'd come for him."

"You bet we would!"

"Oh can it,robot girl. You're the one I know least about so I don't think you've ever even met the kid."

Jenny shut her mouth and made a face as she had no comeback for that. With that,the voice stopped and left them once again in the dark. In more ways than one.

"It knows who we are?" Was Danny's first question.

Jimmy had to restrain his fist from making contact with the nearest wall,hard. "At this point,I'm not surprised. I'm more concerned with what it did with Timmy."

They didn't have to wait long to find out. Lightning crashed again,sending everyone's nerves on haywire as a figure began to emerge from the darkness.

Once in full view,the three Nicktoons could only look in horror.

It was Timmy but he was barely recognizable. He was wearing the same clothes he usually did but they were torn in places and the colors were faded. He was covered with scratches and bruises and his hair was a mess. The freakiest part though were his eyes and teeth. The eyes weren't blue like they should have been,they were blood red and glowing. His overbite was no longer there,instead he had fangs poking out from his mouth.

Jimmy nearly collapsed right there. He'd known the boy the longest,and they were at least decent friends. Seeing him like this though,kinda tore him up. He'd feel the same if it was any of his friends. Oh no...

Danny took a cautious step forward. "Timmy? Are you okay? What did that thing do to you?"

He reached out for him,but Timmy only growled and slapped his hand away. Danny recoiled and took a step back. His face was expressionless.

Jenny had her mouth covered with her hands. She didn't even bother to hide her feelings. She felt so bad for the young boy,but anyone who knew her knew,that was what fueled her determination. She shut and re-opened her eyes,as they now shone with her desire to help him.

"He was quite the fighter,let me just say. He refused to give up like the others,so I had to use alternate methods. Watch,get them."

Timmy's blazing red eyes looked back for a moment,then they were focused on the ones before him. A bolt then flew towards them,barely giving them enough time to dodge. Jimmy rolled over to the side as the other two took off.

Ticked that he missed,Timmy then aimed another one at the Boy Genius while he was down. Jenny saw this and quickly moved in front of him,blocking it. Her body sparked and sizzled as she hissed in pain.

"Jenny! Are you alright?" Jimmy asked,from behind.

"Yeah,I'm alright if you are."

He gave her a strong nod,grabbed his sidearm,and ran to help Danny. Jenny shook her head and quickly followed.

Danny had conjured an Ecto-Shield to block another bolt,but part of it slipped through and shocked him. "Yahh! Man,that smarts! And I thought fighting Vortex sucked."

Skidding to the side,Jimmy aimed his weapon and fired at his friend. The sharp gust caused the ten-year old to cry out and cover his face. Jimmy grimaced,but dashed away to try and keep his advantage.

Jenny looked on from above,looking to land a hit herself. Man,Jimmy looks so upset,he must really care about him. I know what it's like to have to fight your best friend. She dodged another electric projectile. And it's downright painful.

She fired a small blast at the boy,but missed as he side-stepped to his right. Another then came at her and she was forced to duck and land.

"Humph,guess he never really got over what happened...huh Jimmy?" The voice spoke up. The tone sounded snarky.

How does this thing know about that!?

Jimmy simply glared at nothing as he fired another blade of air into his friend's face. He noticed that Timmy's face had gone blank and he no longer seemed miffed.

"So what if he hasn't? I'm aware that we still fight sometimes."

The voice laughed. "You're not aware of jack. How do you think I knew about you all?"

All three gave the nothingness a look. Where is this going? They all thought.

"Simple,beaver boy over there gave you up. He told me everything I needed to know without hesitation. Seems like your not his friends in his eyes. Not if he was willing to just throw you all under the bus. He even said that. That you're not really his friends,he just works with you because you help him do the things he doesn't want to do."

Jenny heard this and was instantly suspicious of those words,but Danny flared up before she could think long on it.

"SHUT UP!" His eyes were now leaking green light,providing quite a bit of it. "There's no way that's true!"

"If that's what you wanna believe." It stated.

Jimmy's arm had frozen with his blaster in mid-air and Timmy wasn't making a move either.

No one seemed to notice,but Timmy's eyes glazed with hesitation at what the voice had just said. His sight locked on Jimmy and he saw something in his eyes he rarely saw. Hurt. He had genuine hurt in his dark blue eyes. Timmy's heart skipped a beat at this and he inwardly glared,but scrunched his face up when it screamed in his head;

Don't just stand there! Kill him! NOW!

Timmy turned his head away as a tear slipped out and stained his shoulder. I'm sorry!

With that,a bolt of lightning flew at the genius,and he wasn't able to dodge this time. It struck him and the searing energy showed no mercy as it surged through him. He let out a scream and collapsed to the floor on his side,weapon left forgotten.

"Jimmy!" Danny cried as he flew down to the downed boy.

Jenny blinked back tears and glared daggers at Timmy. He looked up at her,only to see her come down on his chest with a fist,and then a kick to his back. He was sent flying into the ground. He fought to get up,but gave in and passed out. Jenny looked away,ashamed as she had seen tears in his own eyes before she had struck him.

She looked over at Danny,who was trying to help Jimmy stand. He was wobbly and his eyes had darkened,indicating he was still in pain,but he was very much alive.

"Is he alright?" she asked him.

He nodded. "He should be. He's a bit out of it right now,but he'll bounce back. What about-"

"He's fine." she assured. "I managed to knock him out,but he's not seriously hurt."

"Good. I swear Jen,he's a good kid. He wouldn't give us up like that."

"You don't have to convince me. That thing was lying out it's rear."

Danny looked semi-amazed. "Really? What made you realize that?"

"Easy,that thing even said it herself. I don't know Timmy,so how would he know anything about me? That voice even said that they know the least about me. Total lie."

Danny nodded. "Whew." He looked down at the injured leader with sympathy on his face. "Jimmy?"

He gasped and stood up straight,then grunted and placed a hand on his back. "Y-Yeah?"

"You functional?"

"More or less." He hesitated,I saw it.

"Did you hear what we just said?"

He gave a short nod. "Yes,I did." He coughed,the air suddenly felt too heavy for him to breathe normally. "I should've known it was a bad lie. I don't know why I locked up when I heard that."

"After what's happened,I don't blame ya. Everyone's emotions kinda flared when that was said."

"Literally,Mister Glowing Eyes." Jenny remarked,attempting to crack a joke. Danny rolled his eyes and smiled. He then picked Jimmy up gently,and the boy gave no back talk about this time. He felt like he could sleep for days.

They made their way over to where Timmy was and found that he was back to normal. His clothes were the same as ever,and his beaver teeth were back. Jimmy just looked at him silently as Jenny picked up the limp child. His face was contorted in pain still,and a wave of guilt nearly washed Jenny away.

Without another word,the two teens flew out,carrying the now two unconscious boys to safety as a dark presence watched them go.


*Noir: French for black.

Yeah,so hopefully this was better than the last draft. On a related note,i'm currently listening to the final boss theme of Nicktoons Unite as i'm editing this. LOL. It's not that bad of a tune,but it could've been better. The whole game could've been better. Damn you THQ. -_-

Review and tell me whatcha think! Reviews really motivate me. Not kidding. I like to know if people actually like my bullshit. x3
