Chance of Revenge: Chapter 4
"CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"
Perry the Platypus heard as he parachuted to the ground.
Another job well done, the platypus smirked. He looked up at the sky, it was getting dark. Normally he would be home before dark, but Doof's rambling took longer than usual. The scientist built a Chance-inator. It was something about him having another chance at winning the LOVEMUFFIN pageant so he'd be leader. Doofenshmirtz was also planning to do other things, something about his Brother Roger's election. Perry had tuned him out at that point. The agent had escaped the trap, punched the scientist in the face, destroyed the machine with a hammer and jumped off the balcony.
Carl was still fixing his jetpack and hovercraft back at headquarters (As far as he knew). The platypus walked all the way to the building and now had to walk all the way back…he hoped it wouldn't start to rain.
The platyi's hope was soon washed away as the rain started pouring down on him. Well…so much for that.
Perry glumly began to walk home, the rain beating down on him. As he got further away from the building, he could tell he was being followed. The platypus started to walk faster. He walked faster and faster, until he was running at full speed down the street. The mammal made a sharp turn into an alley.
He was cornered. A tall shadow approached him. Perry couldn't see the figure clearly, it was too dark.
Who's there? He chattered.
Just then a powerful light blinded him. Perry shielded his eyes and then looked up as his eyes adjusted to the light.
The platypus looked at the figure again, now able to see in the light.
Oh it's just you… The platypus rolled his eyes, all fear being tossed aside.
The tall figure stepped closer, and the platypus froze at the weapon he saw in the figures hands, all fear returning and doubling.
Why do you have a baseball bat?
The platypus looked up at the figure in horror as they stepped closer, holding the bat high above his head backing the platypus against the wall.
The bat collided with Perry's skull with incredible force; Knocking him to the ground. He couldn't get up…his eyes were starting to close.
Everything went black for the platypus.
When Perry woke up he was tied to a chair…he groaned as his consciousness slowly came back, his head was killing him…what happened?
"You too huh?" Came a familiar voice.
Perry turned his head to see none other than Doofenshmirtz who was tied to a chair also; they were both tied back to back. The agent just looked at his nemesis in bewilderment.
"Yeah, whoever got you, got me too, I don't know, all I remember is walking and then something hitting me and then I woke up here, you must have been hit harder than I have because you woke up a whole 20 minutes after I did, I'm glad your awake though, I was getting bored and lonely…"
The platypus tuned the scientists rambling out, unlike Doofenshmirtz, Perry actually saw who their captor was…but for the life of him, he just couldn't remember…he then retraced his steps in his head.
Ok so I was walking home from the building…then someone was following me and I got cornered in an alley, a bright light and I saw…
The platypus gasped as he remembered who had captured him.
It was-
A door opened and a shadow filled the doorway.
"Hello, dad"
"Norm? You captured us?"
The robotic man stepped out of the shadows.
"Yes, yes I did"
"But why?"
"I killed everyone" Norm replied in his normal cheery tone.
"What do you mean you killed everyone? What the heck is the matter with you Norm? You're really starting to freak me out…"
"I killed everyone, your second dimension selves, your ex-wife and daughter, all of LOVEMUFFIN, the OWCA and your family Perry the Platypus" Norm continued with his normal smile.
Perry paled.
What?
"Norm you can't be serious"
"Yes, yes I am"
"No way, there is no possible way you killed anyone"
"Yes, yes I did"
"No you didn't Norm now untie me so I can take a look at your brain functions"
"I am afraid I can't do that Dad"
"For the last time Norm I am NOT your father and why on earth not?"
"Because you're next"
"Excuse me?" Doofenshmirtz raised an eyebrow.
"I have to kill you now dad"
"What? Why?"
"I showed you what I am capable of and now I must destroy you" Norm got his blasters ready and stepped closer to the pair.
"N-Norm wait!"
"Goodbye Dad"
Perry was already a step ahead and cut the ropes binding him and Doofenshmirtz loose. The platypus pulled the scientist out of the way just as the blasters blasted the wooden chairs into dust.
The scientist and platypus hid behind one of the many inator in the lab. They remained silent, not wanting to draw Norm's attention to their hiding spot.
"Hey wait a minute; did he say our second dimension counterparts? What the heck does that mean anyways? Do you know what he's talking about Perry the Platypus?"
Of course Perry knew what he was talking about but the platypus didn't answer, he just stood there unmoving.
"Perry the Platypus?" Doof snapped his fingers in front of the mammals face only for the platypus to turn his head and stare at him, his eyes still wide in shock. "Are you having a flashback? You know I can't see it right? No you're not having a flashback, if you were then there would be those little wavy things in front of you…yeah like that!" The doctor pointed as those wavy things appeared in front of the platypus, indicating he was indeed having a flashback.
"I killed everyone, your second dimension selves, your ex-wife and daughter and all of LOVEMUFFIN, the OWCA and your family Perry the Platypus"
"-And your family Perry the Platypus"
"-And your family Perry the Platypus"
"Your family"
"Your family"
"Your family"
The sentence kept playing in Perry's head over and over.
"AHHHHHH!"
Doofenshmirtz' screaming broke the platypus out of his trance. Norm had found them and was now standing over them with his fist raised.
"The enemy of the platypus and scientist is Norm" The robot man smashed the machine with his hand just as the platypus pulled the scientist out of the way, again.
The platypus and scientist kept running throughout DEI. While they ran they faintly heard Norm's plea of "Please, stop running".
Of course that just made them run faster.
"Father, come back!"
"I am NOT your father!" Doofenshmirtz yelled over his shoulder "Why can't you get that through your thick robotic head?"
The two continued running until they reached a storage closet. Perry opened the closet and began to dig through it.
"Whatever you're looking for you better hurry, he's getting close!"
The platypus pulled out a chainsaw and started it up.
"A chainsaw? What's a chainsaw gonna-"
"Oh there you are dad"
They turned around to see the robotic man standing behind them.
Perry took action, he lunged at the robot and sliced his arm clean off. Norm stared at his arm for a moment before swinging his other arm at the platypus. That however was a bad move because the platypus sliced the other arm off.
The robot didn't falter and tried to stomp the platypus with his foot. Perry dodged the attack and sliced into his leg. Sparks flew out of it and the leg was rendered useless.
The platypus continued driving the chainsaw through his leg until it was completely hacked off.
Norm stood there dumbfounded standing on one leg. There was only one thing he could do. He tipped himself and started to fall…right over the small platypus.
Perry stared in horror as the robot started to fall; he closed his eyes waiting for the impact that would surely crush him.
"Perry the Platypus!"
The platypus felt himself be tackled to the ground. He opened his eyes to see Doofenshmirtz over him, eyes wide in shock. The doctor sighed in relief "That was close, huh?"
Perry nodded slowly, looking over at Norm. The robot was lying on the ground staring at them with a frown across his metal face.
"Darn, I missed" Norm said in his usual cheery voice.
Doofenshmirtz got up and picked up the chainsaw, he walked over to the robot.
"Hello Dad"
"This is the last and final time I will ever have to say this, I am NOT your father" The scientist brought the chainsaw down into the robotic man's chest.
The robot jerked and fizzled until it finally shut down for good.
Doofenshmirtz threw the chainsaw to the side and helped the small platypus to his feet.
"Glad THAT'S over, right Perry the Platypus?" He looked down only to find the platypus not there.
"Perry the Platypus where'd you go?" The scientist heard tiny sobs and made his way over to the balcony. The small platypus had his knees to his chest crying in the rain.
"Perry?" Doofenshmirtz sat crisscross next to the mammal and put a hand on his shoulder "Perry the Platypus what's wrong?"
Perry glared up at him as if he was an idiot before hiding his face again.
"Oh right…" The scientist remembered, both their family and friends were dead. It was a real mood killer.
They sat in silence until Doofenshmirtz finally spoke up again.
"At least we still have each other right?" When he didn't get an answer he returned to silence and looked away. Having enough of the awkward sulking, the doctor got up and walked into his lab. He looked over at his destroyed inator and had an epiphany.
"My Chance-inator…Perry the Platypus!"
Perry looked up at his nemesis tiredly. What did he want? What was the point of doing anything anymore? Nothing mattered…
"My Chance-inator!"
The platypus growled at him. Now he wanted to enact an evil scheme? Unbelievable! How could he possibly think that-
"It gives you a 2nd Chance at things! We could shoot it up at the sky and it would give the universe a second chance at today! It'd be like a reverse switch! How did I not think of this before? It's so-" Doofenshmirtz was interrupted as the platypus hugged him joyfully.
You genius! You brilliant, brilliant genius!
"Ok, ok I know you're excited but we still have to fix it because SOMEBODY bashed it in with a sledgehammer"
Perry shrugged and smiled sheepishly.
"I know…I know it's your job…it can't be helped"
They spent the next few hours fixing the machine and Doofenshmirtz commented on how they made a good team the whole time. The scientist also sang a terrible one-sided song with no real ending. After they managed to get down from the podiums (and Perry got out of that statue of liberty dress) they continued working on the machine until it was finally finished.
Doofenshmirtz tilted the machine so it was pointed at the sky.
"Ready?"
Perry nodded and stood by the doctor.
They took their chance and activated the machine. Soon the whole world was engulfed with a white flash.
They just hoped their chances were good.
