The next few days flew by for Baljeet as he went about his now routine life. It started with him getting up and going to school for the day. He would have to make it look like everything was normal in his life. Always having to come up with excuses not to hang out with Ferb and the gang after school and instead make his way over to his secret lab where Doofenshmirtz was constantly making new gadgets to aid them in their goal to finish of Phineas.

Although Baljeet was constantly taunted by Doofenshmirtz over the reason why he wanted to get rid of Phineas he was more interested in the gadgets the doctor was creating. Doofenshmirtz wasn't shy about some of his creations but there were a few he wouldn't even begin to explain which caused Baljeet to wonder what the doctor had up his sleeve. Pushing these thoughts aside though Baljeet got through his school day and before Ferb or anyone could ask him he took off for the lab.

(Secret lab)

"And finally we put the two ends together…weld them tight…PERFECT!" Doofenshmirtz yelled as he raised a metal contraption above his head in victory.

"What does that do" Baljeet asked wearily as he entered the cave and spied the doctor holding his creation above his head.

"This…This is just a more violent cattle prod…Delivers a shock to whomever it touches…Wanna try" Doofenshmirtz started walking towards Baljeet with the prod pointed directly at him.

Baljeet eyed the device and then brought his eyes back to meet the doctors. It became clear to Doofenshmirtz that Baljeet had no fear of his latest device…But why?

"Why isn't he afraid? Is it something I said? Did? What?" Doofenshmirtz racked his brain before just giving up and walking away. Not noticing the smile on Baljeet's face.

"I know for a fact that was not a cattle prod but I don't know what it does. However I am pretty sure that is part of the devices he doesn't want me to know about" Baljeet let his smile drop as he decided he needed to get back to work. Doofenshmirtz did not know of Phineas's return this weekend and that was Baljeet's golden opportunity. He had the whole weekend planed out.

Phineas would be getting back to his place in the evening of Friday. There was going to be a party, That Ferb and Isabella were co-ordinating. Baljeet plan was to go to the party and act like he normally would. As guests started to leave he would politely offer to help clean up the mess and would most likely get help from Ferb and perhaps Buford, he wasn't holding his breath on that though. As the cleaning was nearing an end Baljeet would sneak into Perry's base and hack into his terminal. Using the whole network to his advantage he would send every agent on a wild goose chase to another continent. That was step one.

Step two depended on his lying abilities and to get the group away from Phineas. This would be tricky. Buford would be easy, all he had to do was tell him there is a new nerd in town and Buford would be out of the way. Isabella would be difficult as would Ferb. He was still thinking of how to separate these two from Phineas.

Step three was simple. Knock Phineas unconscious with one of his creations, he was leaning towards the mind scrambler. It was created to create a dizzy feeling in the victim's head causing them to lose consciousness from inability to control anything in their body.

Baljeet didn't want to kill Phineas right out. He wanted to make him suffer but in order for that to happen all these steps had to fall into order. However Baljeet did have a backup plan.

As he looked at the clock it read 7:30 pm. He would have to leave soon to get home. Tomorrow was Thursday which meant he had tomorrow to finish his plans so he could execute them on Friday evening. Baljeet quickly went to work writing a code to bypass Perry's security and infect the whole organization.

Baljeet saw his ultimate plan coming together and he couldn't help but smile.

"That was close…if the kid ever found out what I was planning he would surely break off our deal" Doofenshmirtz sprawled out on his makeshift bed.

He had been working really hard on recreating his suit from the past battle. It was about forty five percent complete and he had a long way to go. First he was making major changes to the suits armor. When he was done it would be invulnerable to electrical blasts. That wasn't the only problem though. The power source for the suit needed to be stabilized and reinforced to make sure they would be safe. First though he needed a power source.

This caused him no end of trouble because although the suit could be finished without a power source it would be useless. He contemplated using his own body like Phineas had previously but decided against it due to the fact if he felt imminent failure he would lose completely. There had to be another power source but where. Then it hit him.

The Portal creator Baljeet worked three months on. He had said he recreated the power cells from the old suit…He could use those. The only problem now was how to get them…Then he head Baljeet leaving the cave on his trip home.

Doofenshmirtz knew it was now or never. He put the creation with the rest. He had to get those power cells without them his plan could not move forward. He set out on getting the cells out of the machine without breaking it.

"Phineas Flynn you are my motivation to do this. I will get these power cells out. I will recreate my suit. You will finally die…Then…That stupid kid will watch as I use my new creations to torture and kill this girl he thinks so highly of" Doofenshmirtz smiled at that he never intended to work with Baljeet he just wanted Phineas dead and if the kid was going to help him then he would use him for as long as he could. Then dispose of him as he was a threat.

Doofenshmirtz thought about this as he continued to try and pry open the compartment that held the power cells.

(Flynn-Fletcher household)

Candace and Ferb had just finished dinner and were putting their dishes in the sink. Ferb had retired to his room to finish any last remaining homework he couldn't finish at school.

Ferb was about half way done his homework when his phone rang. He answered almost knowing who it could be.

"Hey Ferb"

"Oh hi Baljeet…What do you need?" Ferb asked as he continued his homework

"I just want to know what time the coming home party for Phineas is on Friday? I forgot to write it down and am now a mess" Baljeet sounded genuine

"Be here around 7" Ferb then hung up and quickly dashed through the last remaining questions before deciding to retire to bed. He could hear Candace talking to Stacy in her room but he paid no heed as he got himself prepared for his rest.

Just as Ferb lad his head down his phone rang again.

"Look Baljeet I told you"

"Ferb" Isabella cut him off

"Oh hi what do you need?" Ferb asked quickly

"Just letting you know the fireside girls are going to be taking over the whole party so you don't need to stress yourself for it anymore" Isabella sounded cheery

"Ok good night" Ferb hung up and went back to sleep.

(Candace's room)

"So yeah Stacy I am so in charge this weekend. Unconditionally. I know that it's a lot of responsibility but I have been trying to get to this point in my life for so long. Nothing will go wrong I will have Phineas within my eyesight at all times. UGH Hold on Stacy the home phone is ringing" Candace got out of bed and bound down the stairs.

"Hello" Candace picked up on the last ring

"Hello, this is party catering. I was just calling to confirm the date of Phineas Flynn's arrival home. We had a mix up with our files and now we need to reconfirm with almost everyone. So if I could please get the date and time we would need to be there" The voice sounded familiar but Candace couldn't put her finger on it

"What catering? I didn't order any" Candace countered trying to buy time to figure out the voice.

"We were contacted by a Mr. Fletcher…is that correct"

"Yes…Probably Ferb…He's asleep right now." Candace contemplated but finally gave in

"The party is this Friday you need to be here before 6:30 otherwise everything will go down the drain"

"Ok thank you miss. We will be there at the allotted time. Thank you for your cooperation" then the line went dead

(Doofenshmirtz)

"THAT LITTLE KID KEPT IT FROM ME! HE HAS TO KNOW PHINEAS IS RETURNING THIS FRIDAY HE JUST HAS TO! WELL IF HE IS STEPPING UP HIS TIMELINE THEN SO AM I!" Doofenshmirtz gave up temporarily on getting the power cells and returned to the suit.

"That kid is going to go through with his plan without me so I am considering this partnership through. I have two days to repair this suit properly and get those cells. I can do it and I will" Doofenshmirtz began working faster than he ever had before.

This is not the end this is only the beginning.

As darkness descended on Danville one thought ran through the minds of Phineas, his friends and his greatest rivals.

"Friday….The day Phineas returns home…The day everything changes"

(Author note)

Sorry about the late update. I am currently in the process of moving into a bigger room and am finding it hard to sit down with so much work to do. Action starts picking up in the next chapter and find out why Perry and the agents are doing nothing to stop Doofenshmirtz.

Prepare for the next chapter will be up really soon.
