Chapter Two
Machines
Phineas and Ferb had called in their friends Isabella, Buford and Baljeet, to test their latest creation. Phineas and Ferb had decided to shorten the name of their invention to The Machine, for convenience of their friends.
"Wow, Phineas, this is certainly the most interesting thing you've done." Isabella said with surprise. In truth she was expecting Phineas to finally admit his feelings, (which had nothing to do with her) for her."Thanks Isabella," Phineas replied who turned to Buford and Baljeet, the former was staring at nothing, the latter was in awe of the thing that was before him, "What do you guys think?"
Buford turned towards Phineas, but his mind was elsewhere-the dark deep space of nothingness, Baljeet, however was too excited to stay quiet, "This is the greatest thing that I've ever seen!" Phineas turned to Ferb, who pulled the switch which opened the door to The Machine. An elevator appeared and as they stepped inside and the door closed, you could hear the anticipation they had, as they ascended into the unknown.
The first floor was the roller coaster room. The room was as big as a football stadium, and as tall as the empire state building. "Welcome to the Greatest Coaster Ever Room" Ferb exclaimed, wearing a tour guide outfit, "Please follow me." Ferb lead them to the coaster itself, and once they were all strapped in he spoke again, "Please keep all hands and feet inside the coaster at all times. Also, hold your breath."
As the roller coaster began to move up its chain, they could see why holding their breath was necessary. The track was underwater. "Couldn't you have just made scuba suits or something?" Isabella exclaimed with fear, "This wasn't in the budget." Phineas responded.
The roller coaster went emerged from the water almost as soon as it entered it. All of them got off immediately, threw up and headed for the next room.
Ferb opened the door; on the other side was foliage. Beyond the foliage was a large mountain, and beyond that a desert. All of them were awestruck, Ferb lead them through the thick trees towards the mountain. They could hear a loud roaring sound in the distance, "Phineas, what was that?" Baljeet asked with concern, Phineas shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. Hopefully something that doesn't eat us."
No sooner did Phineas say this did a Tyrannous Rex appear. Isabella screamed, "What the hell is that thing?" Ferb pulled out a large crossbow that he kept for just such purposes, "You're acting like you've never seen a T-Rex before" he said casually. Isabella nodded with nervousness, Ferb however was completely calm.
The T-Rex was as big as history says it was, and just as deadly. Ferb began to fire the crossbow, but he only managed to get three shots before it jammed. "Guys, it's time to run" Ferb exclaimed, half sacred out of his mind. They ran as fast as they could, "Didn't you build something for this kind of emergency?" Buford asked as they reached the foot of the mountain. Phineas looked around; he saw a safe room at the top of the mountain, "There. This way." he shouted. There was a paved path up the mountain which made getting up it easier for them and the T-Rex.
Once they were inside the room, the door closed, they could all breath again. It was then that Ferb realized the only way to get out of the room was through the door they just came or the emergency exit, which would send them flying out of the machine, at this point they were hundreds of feet in the air, with no means of saving themselves from the fall.
"Well it looks like we only have one option, guys." Ferb said, "We can't go out there, the T-Rex will rip us to shreds. We also didn't safe proof the emergency exit, so we're pretty much screwed either way." Buford spoke, "At least we'll die by our own actions, not by that monster." Buford pushed the button. A large spring was underneath the floor, as it sent through them into the air, they went through the roof of the safe room and the glass that followed into the outside world.
Perry looked up and saw that Phineas, Ferb and the others were falling through the air; if they fell any longer they would die of heart attacks. "Great," Perry thought to himself," Well, I was close to quitting anyway." Perry pulled out two grappling hooks and aimed them at Phineas and Baljeet, the two closest to him and fired. The grappling hook took hold of both Phineas and Baljeet, but there were only two grappling hooks. Perry pushed a button, which revealed a stand, as they pulled Phineas and Baljeet down, Perry pulled out a gravitational ray, a weapon used to control gravity by the OWCA. Perry aimed the gravitational ray at Ferb and fired; he also pulled out a laser gun and began to shoot the support beams of The Machine, effectively making a set of stairs for Isabella to fall safely to the ground.
Out of weapons and options, Perry leaped up the stairs and made for Buford, who was only twenty feet from the ground, as he jumped in the air, Buford grabbed onto Perry's hat, pulling himself and Perry to the ground. The landing was not smooth, but they were alive.
When everyone was safe, The Machine, its supports weakened collapsed on itself, creating a large pile of junk in the middle of the backyard. As the dust cleared, Phineas and Ferb could see clearly what had saved them. Buford and Baljeet were at a loss for words and Isabella was in shock. All of them stood there, silently, as they saw Perry standing before the wreckage as if he had just destroyed a great and powerful beast.
