Me: Sup, peoples? Hope all's well. And all of you brought out a very good point in your reviews on how it went too quick, so, I found out a way to work off of that, and I hope it'll be okay. And Emerald will be in this one... yea, she will.

Review Thanks: Thank you badwolf1 for reviewing and letting me know about the annoying 'Finbarr' thing, I promise I'll stop, I just like using variety of names so it doesn't sound like the same thing over and over again. Thank ya jimlover54 for commenting on Carl and Sheen, and I understand it was random, and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Like I said, I'll work off of this randomness. Thanks acosta perez jose ramiro for reviewing and complimenting and all that, thank you. Thank you Princess of the High Lands for reviewing and saying it was great.

Ch: 7
Anger and Dizziness

Two days later:
It's a Wednesday and they're back at school, not that they were gone for long. It was almost three o'clock and the bell was just about to ring, and all the kids were at the edges of their seats, hoping not to listen one more bit of what it would be like in the life of a cockroach. It was disturbing everyone in there, and they wanted out. Right when some of the girls were about to lose their lunch, the bell rang. Everyone immediately got up and darted, hoping that Ms. Fowl wouldn't hand out homework concerning the cockroach.

While everyone flocked into the hallway, Libby ran up to Cindy and questioned, "Girl, where were you Monday night? We were supposed to watch a movie after we do our homework! And you ignored me yesterday when I asked..." After seeing the guilty look on Cindy's face, Libby inquired, "What did I miss?"

"We went to Dallas because Neutron was kidnapped by Betty and Nissa, who are Beautiful Gorgeous' daughters. We broke him out... which, now that I think about it, was way too easy..." Cindy went off into thought.

"You expect me to believe that? Nissa and Betty, evil? I know you hate Betty, but that doesn't mean that you have to say she's Beautiful's daughter!" Libby exclaimed as they walked out of of the school and down the steps.

"Then ask Sheen, Carl, or Spew-tron over there," Cindy insisted, pointing in their direction.

Libby looked at Cindy with wide eyes, "It did happen! If it didn't you wouldn't be so confident... I can't believe it! Betty and Nissa are wicked? This is... wait, why didn't you take me?"

Cindy looked down once more with a guilty look and said, "Well, Carl and Sheen needed help, and I knew that they wouldn't be able to get to where they needed to go unless I showed them, so I guided them to where they needed to go, and then I saw the hovercar, I just had to drive it... I'm sorry."

"How'd you get into his lab?" Libby queried, walking down the sidewalk.

"You know, the secret passage where Jimmy knocked on the ground,"Cindy explained as Libby nodded, for she, too, saw. "So, are you upset?"

"Nah, I had a pretty good time hanging out with my cousins. I told you they were coming, right?" Libby wondered.

"Oh! I forgot! Well, I'm glad you had fun," Cindy said.


"Where's Neutron?" Professor Calamitous asked, examining the cell with a grin for some reason.

"They took him, Granddad." Nissa answered professionally.

"Yea, Nissa over here couldn't stop them, I would've, but, Nissa was blocking my way, and I think she meant to do that!" Betty lied, blaming her younger sister. "Now that I think about it, she didn't do a thing!" Betty recollected that all Nissa did was dodge.

Nissa replied to the statement, "Yea, well, Betty did do something, she hopped up and down on one foot after getting kicked in the shin! But, other than that, everything went according to plan."

"Wait, dad, you knew what you were doing? You said you didn't have the faintest idea! Yea, sure it was weird when you said to let Neutron go, but I thought that'd be for fun, just let him out then put him back in with his friends... But you knew what you were doing?" Beautiful was in shock, she couldn't grasp that fact.

"Yes, I did. I didn't want to inform you because I wanted you to act natural. But, I think Nissa did a good job acting surprised and upset now that I watch the video feed," Professor Calamitous rewound and replayed, rewound and replayed.

"Why didn't you tell me Granddad?" Betty indignantly asked, tapping her foot.

"Because, you were just recently asked to help, and I didn't have time to explain," he said, then continued, "For you two who I didn't explain the plan to, here it is. First, we had to..."


"...and then we fell off the llamas into the mud and then we were escorted out of Retroland and told to never go back to the petting zoo!" Carl finished. The three boys sit in Jimmy's living room talking about what they missed.

Sheen continued, whispering, "We're only gonna tell you, Jimmy, but we also went up behind the UltraLord dude and pulled him into the dressing room, payed him all the money we got and we dressed up as UltraLord, I was on Carl's shoulders."

"UltraLord was in Retroland this week?" Jimmy was confused.

"No, we went up to Saskatchawan, Canada. We borrowed your rocket, except this time it was all on auto-pilot," Sheen explained.

"Why in the world would you do that?" Jimmy unbelievingly questioned, somewhat horrified, hoping his rocket was in at least five pieces, and no more than that.

Carl answered, "You told us to go play with llamas and UltraLord, we played with the llamas. But, I didn't feel like playing with an action figure, so, we found the nearest place featuring UltraLord so we dressed up as him instead, shaking hands, handing out masks, it was cool."

"Uh, guys, there's a flyer that says UltraLord is over in Austin, it's way closer than Saskatchawan," Jimmy pointed out.

"Oh, well, crashing was fun anyway... I mean! Landing was fun... I mean... hey, look a chicken!" Sheen pointed in the opposite direction of the front door and then ran out it flailing his arms and screaming, while Jimmy had a worried look.

"If he's running away from me and screaming, this cannot be good," Jimmy concluded while Carl attempted to sneak away. "Where are you going, Carl?"

Carl looked around trying to look natural, not that it worked, and answered, "Oh, would you look at the time, it's past curfew, my mom's gonna worry, bye!" And he ran out. Jimmy looked at the clock, and it was only three forty seven. At this point he was pale, if both friends were running away from him, afraid, it must be disasterous.

Jimmy went outside of his house, viewing in the distance Sheen looking around frantically for somewhere to hide while trembling. Jimmy went behind his house and entered his clubhouse then into his lab. He ordered his invention, "VOX, locate rocket."

After a hesitance, VOX replied, "Unable tolocate rocket." Jimmy stared blankly at straight in front of him. If VOX couldn't find his rocket, it must be demolished. After a couple times hitting his head on the wall, VOX spoke up, "After an intensified search, rocket has been located." Jimmy looked over to the screen and his mouth dropped. There before him the monitor showed blinking lights throughout Texas. The rocket remains was in a straight line, with a wing right there in Retroville.


"So now we have to recapture him? Ugh! You're so annoying, Granddad!" Betty exclaimed while filing her nails.

"First: youdidn't capture Neutron, Nissa did. Second: will you let me finish?" Professor Calamitous shouted as Betty rolled her eyes. "Now, the 'soda' that Nissa here gave Neutron has a tracking device in it. It was attached to the fake sugar that was taken into his bloodstream. And this fake sugar affects his brain, causing him to... erm... I think I made it so he'd act unusually angry... I forget, it may be unusuallydizzy, I'm unsure which..." Hewent off into thought. But then continued, "Either way, he'd be vulnerable, even if he's unsually angry, he'd be vulnerable. 'How?' you ask. Well... I... wait, let me think..."

Beautiful rolled her eyes, smacked her head and then sighed. She couldn't believe this, if Jimmy was unusually angry, or dizzy, how could he be vulnerable? Nissa sat in place, being obedient and a favorite to Professor Calamitous. Betty was standing with crossed arms waiting impatiently for it to end. She, on the other hand was not particularly one her grandfather prefers, he actually avoids her if possible.

He continued after examining the incomplete and hard to read plans for the 'soda', "Wait, vulnerability is part of another plan... Anyway, it won't matter. He'd still be in pain, and after that stage of uncomfort, he will begin talking on and on and on. Of course, by this time we will have Retroville wired. And at hearing one word, he starts talking about his thoughts on the matter. So, if he hears anything about evil plots or such, he'd talk about a way that would work. Then, I'd hear about it, so... what do you think?"

Betty spoke up, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I see some major flaws in the plan..."

"And what might they be?" Professor Calamitous wondered, expecting nothing.

"Well, I don't know, I just don't like it," Betty replied with her attitude.

Nissa raised her hand and he pointed to her. She pointed out, "Please forgive me, I'm not doubting you, I'm just a little confused so, Ihave some questions. Why did we get Jimmy in the first place if he didn't even stay here for five hours?"

"Well, my dear, while he was unconscious I had have a scan done to make sure that the 'soda' not only knocked him out but actually went into his bloodstream and all. What are your other questions?" He politely asked.

"That makes sense. Well, what does the anger anddizziness effect have anything to do with it?" She queried, smiling.

"That's just to put him in misery," Professor Calamitous answered, happy that he could reply to all of her questions so far.

Nissa continued, "And my last question: How will Retroville be placed with mics?"

"That's where you come in, Nissa," He smiled wickedly. Beautiful looked around, she wasn't even in the plan. She nor Betty. BG was highly offended, but, then again, she could have more time at the spa. After that thought, she regained her bliss.


"Sheen," Carl whispered as both cling to branches in a tree at the park. "How long do you think we have to hide?"

"Until Jimmy stops shouting our names furiously," Sheen quietly answered as both look at Jimmy who walked around with clenched fists looking for them.

"Carl, Sheen! When I find you, I'm going to hurt you! So, you better come out, that way it'll be over soon! Carl! Sheen!..." Jimmy screamed so loud that the whole park could hear him. He kept strutting around the park with ire as he continued, "I know you're here! Come out so you can save all of us the trouble!"

Seven hours later:

"I know you guys are still in here! Come out, or else! You're parents are gonna worry, you're out past curfew, so you might want to go home!" Jimmy tiredly, but still belligerently, suggested.

Carl whispered, poking his friend, "Sheen, Sheen wake up."

Sheen snorted as he awoke then shouted, "UltraLord will prevail!" He was half awake at this time, forgetting about Jimmy. He did remember, not when he saw he was in a tree, but when he saw Jimmy walking towards the big oak that they rest in. "Oops," Sheen stated as Jimmy neared. He was about to grab a branch and climb up, but he then loosened his grip and walked around, frequently losing balance until he finally fell over.

"...Is he okay?" Carl asked as they cautiously climb down the tree. Jimmy stood back up, holding his head and again losing his balance.

"I don't know," Sheen replied walking toward their unstable friend. Sheen looked around for someone to help because he didnt' feel like taking Jimmy back home, not that he felt as though he could. He brightened when he saw a shadow bouncing off of trees, "Hey! Look, let's ask that person for help!" Sheen ran after the shadowed person and asked when they were in ear shot, "Hey, could you help us, our friend is peculiarly dizzy for no apparent reason. And, we need help returning him to his house."

"...I guess," and she got down out from the tree to where she's visible.

"Hey, you're that Emerald person! I didn't know it was you!" Sheen exclaimed.

She replied, "Do you know anyone else who ricochets off of trees in this town?"

Sheen taps his cheek as he thinks, "Well, there's Cindy and then the whole self-defense class. I don't know them personally, but, I know that they exist here in Retroville. Actually, I don't think that they can do what you were doing.As you call it, 'ricocheting off trees'.Hmm..."

Emerald kept walking, ignoring the answer to the rhetorical question. She stopped when she reached the two who were sitting on the bench, thanks to Carl. "It's Emerald!" Carl shouted, then asked, "How do you plan on getting Jimmy home?" Emerald shrugged her shoulders.

From Jimmy's view, his head felt light-weight and dizzy. Every now and then he'd lose his vision and then regain it again to seeing doubles. Although he couldn't see correctly, or walk with balance, he could think just fine, and he was trying to figure out what was going on. He heard a conversation in the midst of his pondering, and he perked up when he heard Carl say that Emerald was there.

Sheen was talking, "Now, here are the possibilities that I don't approve of, no carrying, dragging, pushing or carrying. If you can think of anything else, please go ahead." She stared at him, what other options were there? She found one that would work. Fortunately, the bench wasn't bolted into the ground as some are, so, she started dragging the bench with some difficulty.

Sheen smiled when he saw her doing this, "That looks like fun!" And he hopped on, too, adding even more weight.

When she finally came to the house, she dropped the one end, thankful that it was over because 1: It was killing her arms and 2: It was very annoying when she dragged it across the sidewalk due to the annoying sound. "We're here," she stated while Sheen groaned, he was having fun!

Jimmy kept his eyes closed the whole way, hoping not to make himself nauseated. He tilted his head and stated, "I thought you said it was Emerald, Carl."

"It is," Carl said, confused.

"C'mon, that's not Emerald, it's..." Jimmy was about to say her name when she interrupted.

"Well, that's all for now, I must be going, bye!" And Emerald was gone.
