Plot:Tak comes over and reunites with his old teammates, bringing along his daughter, Kida. SpongeBob also brings over his three sons, Crash, Twitchy, and SpongeBob Jr. They make them go with Darry and his friends to get to know each other, but Kida refuses to trust them, Crash and Twitchy pester to join the Nicktoons, and Junior's antics annoy everyone. But when the Syndicate reunites with Traloc and he tells them about Kida, they aid him to kidnap her and plan to absorb all the Juju magic from her. Now the Nicktoons must rescue her and try to keep the rest of the kids out of danger. Meanwhile, Danny shares with his old teammates about a dark secret he is hiding from his past.
Part 2
Meanwhile, the kids were walking around Amity Park, hoping to find Yuki. Crash began climbing up a nearby tree, only to fall flat on his back.
Tammy stared at him and asked, "Don't you think one of these days you could break something important of yours?"
"Yeah, I broke my rocketboard three days ago, so my pa had to buy me another one," Crash replied in ignorance, "And I broke my right arm six weeks ago, two of my ribs a month ago, and then I broke my-"
"Okay, I see now!" Tammy interrupted. "You should at least try and be careful once and a while."
"Heh," Crash scoffed, "Careful's for losers. One day, I'm gonna be a rough tough rootin' tootin' stuntman when I grow up."
Junior poked Darry a couple times, much to his discomfort, and asked, "If you're a ghost, does that mean you're dead?"
Darry seemed taken aback by this and bitterly answered, "Of course not! I'm only a quarter ghost, like my dad who's half-ghost. So we're totally living."
Junior looked confused and asked, "What does that mean?"
Darry slapped his forehead in annoyance at the kid's constant questions. Then Twitchy asked rapidly, "What's next for being a Nicktoon? What's next? What's next?"
"The next thing is for the nutty fur ball and the two kitchen appliances to shut up," Tommy scowled.
But they hear a scream and turn to see SpongeTron 911 pulling on a short staff that he was trying to take from Kida, who refused to let go of it.
"Let go, you paranoid bucket of bolts!" Kida yelled at him.
"Never!" SpongeTron 911 shouted as he struggled to take it. "Human children your age should not be playing with dangerous weapons! It must be confiscated!"
SpongeTron 911 starts to blow his whistle as he yanks the staff from Kida. "Hey, break it up! Break it up!" Darry shouted, taking the staff back from 911. "Here you go," he leans to Kida.
"Uh, thanks." Kida quietly said as she took it back. But as soon as she touched it, the soft pink stone on top began to glow.
Tammy noticed this and asked, "What was that?"
"It was nothing." Kida answered. "If I don't carry this around, then things will go bad, especially if that dumb robot keeps trying to take it."
"So...is there really anything special with you?" Tommy asked, "And what about your dad? What did he do when he joined the Nicktoons?"
"Well, according to my HQ Hero Database," SpongeTron analyzed, "Tak was a shaman apprentice when he joined the Nicktoons and has the power to summon mythical beings called Jujus. In fact, Tak's mother was a Juju and he was bestowed with special magic almost like how Timmy has magical fairies. He aided the Nicktoons in missions such as when Traloc attempted to steal the Nicktoons' abilities or stopping Calamitous and his ToyBots from taking over and stealing the Creator's krabby patties."
"That's true." Kida said after SpongeTron's explanation. "And...I can use Juju magic too. But..."
"You can?" Darry asked in excitement. "Gnarly! Wait'll we find Yuki, she'll be glad to have someone like you on her team like Dad had Tak."
"But..." Kida waved her staff to get the excited Darry's attention, but as soon as SpongeTron 911 saw this, he rolled forward and snatched the staff away again.
"You couldn't get that one past me, little girl!" SpongeTron 911 shouted as he held the staff out of reach.
"Hey!" Kida shouted, but suddenly a magical glow appeared around her body and a beam shot out that hit a traffic light.
The traffic light falls from the post about to hit a car. "Poof!" Tommy called to him. Poof responds by shaking his rattle. Quickly, the light floats in midair before it can hit the car and safely attaches itself back to the post.
"Poof poof!" Poof giggled.
"Whoa, that was weird," Darry noticed.
"Heck yeah," Crash agreed, "Weirder than the time Dolly dared me to stuff 25 snappin' clams in my mouth when I broke one of her tea cups."
"Crash stayed in the hospital for a whole night getting the clams removed from his tonsils," Junior recalled.
"Thanks for another one of your exciting injury stories." Tommy sarcastically said.
Kida quickly grabbed the staff from SpongeTron 911 and ran behind Darry as the glow around her stopped.
"Was that one of your Juju magic?" Tammy asked Kida. "And why did you do that?"
"I didn't mean to." Kida explained timidly. "I don't know how to control my powers. But my dad made me this staff so stuff like that wouldn't happen, and I can use my magic whenever I want. Watch..."
She aimed her staff out and a glow appeared on the stone. Then it shot out a beam that hit Junior's jellyfish doll. When the glow disappeared around the doll, all seemed still for a moment until it blackened and crumbled into ash in Junior's hands.
"Hey," Junior's eyes begin to water, "That wasn't very nice."
"I guess that explains why you were reluctant to show off your powers to Yuki," Tammy mentions.
"Well...yeah." Kida said as she looked away nervously. "Also, there's some scary people out there who want to take my powers away like last time."
"What do you mean 'like last time'?" SpongeTron curiously asked.
While Junior was crying over the loss of his favorite toy, they suddenly felt the ground shaking and loud stomping. They suddenly see a large robot come out from an alleyway with the Syndicate inside.
"Guys, you stay here and keep hidden," Darry commanded the Cadets and shifts to Phantom mode, "We'll take care of this."
"But I'm scared." Junior complained while the Nicktoons rushed off into battle.
"Take care of them, 911." SpongeTron told his fellow robot before rushing off.
"You guys come to get another beating?" Darry asked as he charged up ghost energy in his fists.
"Not today, ghost brat." Plankton responded, "We've come to pick something off your hands."
"That's where you're wrong!" Tommy shouted. "We don't have anything we'd give you."
"Who said anything about giving?" Professor Calamitous asked. "We're going to TAKE...her."
The Nicktoons were confused about what it was they were talking about. But suddenly, a blast of dust suddenly exploded at their feet which they inhaled. Darry, Tammy, and Tommy suddenly become drowsy. "I'm feeling… very sleepy," Tammy yawned before she and Darry collapsed.
"No Dad... I'm not... tired yet," Tommy said tiredly before falling asleep with his comrades. Luckily, SpongeTron was not affected.
"Guys?" SpongeTron asked worriedly as he tried to shake Darry awake. "What's happened to you?"
"They won't wake up for another thirty minutes, little square one." Traloc told SpongeTron. "But we'll be finished here by then."
The robot marches over SpongeTron and goes behind the corner. SpongeTron began to ponder. "They don't mean…" he was thinking when he realized in horror, "That's where Kida and the Creator's kids are!"
Meanwhile, the Cadets' hiding place is at a diner in a booth beside the wide window. Kida slumps, watching Twitchy eating loads of ice cream he ordered. "And how is this hiding?" she asked.
"There ain't no better hidin' place than hidin' in plain sight." Crash cheerfully said as a waitress brought him a milkshake that he excitedly drank.
"Oh oh! Givemeanotherdoublebrowniesundaeplease!" Twitchy asked which the waitress did not understand.
Kida gave an annoyed groan when she heard giant footsteps approaching. "Quick, hide!" she whispered and put herself and Junior beside her, crouched inside the booth. Crash and Twitchy also crouched to conceal themselves from the open window as the giant robot passes them. The waitress saw this and screamed in terror as she ran away from the window
They peek out from under the table to see the robot gone. "I think it's gone now." Kida whispered.
"That's the robot them Nicktoons were fightin'." Crash noticed as he jumped on the seat. "I sure wish I can fight that thing!"
"Pipe down!" Kida hissed at him.
"Yeah, they said we were supposed to be hiding," Junior reminded.
"And who made you leader, lil' bro?" Crash scowled at him.
"Yeah!" Twitchy said until he pointed to himself, "I'mleader!I'mleader!I'mleader!"
"Hey, how come you get to be leader?"
"CuzI'mtheoldest!Theoldest!"
"Well, I'm the bravest!"
"Please don't fight." Junior meekly said, but was drowned out by his brothers' arguing.
Outside, SpongeTron was desperately trying to find the Cadets before the Syndicate did. "Kida? Crash? Kida?" SpongeTron whispered. "Where in Neptune are they?" Then, he heard a sound from behind him in the alley. Suspicious, SpongeTron's right arm turns into a laser as he creeps toward the alley.
With a cry, he jumped in the middle of the entrance and aimed his laser out, only to have a nightstick aimed at him. But it turned out to be only SpongeTron 911 in front of him.
"911?" SpongeTron was surprised and his weapon transformed back into an arm. "What are you doing here? Where are the others?"
SpongeTron 911 answered, "I sent the children to a safe location while I investigated the cause of this crime."
SpongeTron grabbed him and shook him franticly. "Where?! You gotta tell me! I'm the only one who can help them right now! You gotta go somewhere and get help!"
SpongeTron 911 just pushed him off and said, "Yeesh, relax, no need to get so paranoid. They're just down the block, completely safe and unnoticed."
"I'magoodleader!' Twitchy shouted, still arguing with Crash. "Ialwaysknowwhattosay!"
"I survived more disasters than a roach with no legs." Crash pointed out. "I surely have the leadership material."
Kida growled and held her head. "You guys are doing the opposite of hiding out." she then took a sip of her soda.
Crash just crossed his arms and added, "Besides, I may be what y'all call a thrill seeker, but I ain't reckless enough to get caught by anybody."
But suddenly, the window next to them broke open and a giant hose bursts into the restaurant, sucking Crash through the tube that was connected to the Syndicate's robot.
"Crash!" Junior cried out as he peeked out from under the table.
"Ha! CrashisdisqualifiedsoI'mleader!" Twitch pointed at himself only to be sucked by the giant tube like his brother.
Kida screamed and tried to run away. Junior followed from behind, but the powerful wind began to lift him off his feet. Kida noticed this and quickly rushed back; pushing him out of the way and having her get sucked inside instead.
She drops her staff on the ground beside Junior. "Kida!" Junior cried. The Syndicate viewed Junior from inside the robot through a camera lens. "Should we capture him?" Crocker asked his comrades.
They view Junior standing on the ground, shuddering and crying in fear. Plankton just responded, "Nah, let's just forget him. He's worse than his father. What's he gonna do? Besides, we already got who we needed."
The robot turned around and stomped away as Junior picked up Kida's staff and helplessly watched his brothers and new friend be taken away. SpongeTron suddenly arrived on scene and spotted Junior, but the robot or the rest of the kids were nowhere in sight. "Oh no." he said, realizing he was too late.
Meanwhile, back at Nicktoon HQ, Danny was still sharing his secret past with his former comrades. "After that, Sam realized I was in worse shape than I made it look like." he solemnly explained. "At least that's what she told me since I blacked out after that."
The other four Nicktoons were surprised by Danny's story. "Whoa, and I thought I had it that bad." Jimmy said in an astonished voice, "Then what happened?"
"That's the worst part." Danny answered angrily as he pounded on the table. "Out of all people, my archenemy had to be the one to save my life. I don't know what Sam was thinking."
"She was thinking of keeping you from dying of course." Tak pointed out. "I still can't believe you made it out of that mess intact."
"But I didn't make it out unscathed." Danny darkly pointed out.
"What do you mean by that?" Timmy curiously asked.
"It serves as a reminder of that day." Danny answered as he took his jacket off and pulled down the left sleeve of his shirt from off his shoulder.
Jimmy, Timmy, SpongeBob, and Tak see this and gasp to see a scar going from Danny's left shoulder blade to past his clavicle.
"And because of that event, I vowed to myself that I'll do whatever it means to protect my family, but it got more complicated when Darry got his ghost powers and he and Yuki joined the Nicktoons."
"How tragic." SpongeBob said desolately. "Even after a victory like that, you still have the feeling that you lost."
"Do Darry and Yuki know about this?" Jimmy asked Danny.
"Fortunately, no." Danny responded. "I told them it was a simple scratch from a ghost weapon that malfunctioned. If they ever knew the truth, I just don't know how it would affect them."
"Well, you have to tell them sometime," Tak advised, "They'll eventually find out."
"No...They won't." Danny seriously replied. "It was hard enough telling all of you. I prefer to keep that day to myself, and I expect all of you to do the same."
Danny turned himself in the chair away from the group. Jimmy, Timmy, SpongeBob, and Tak all stared at each other, now understanding just how much Danny has gone through these past years that have changed him from the person they once knew.
Everything was pitch-black at first until a high-pitched voice rang out, "Darry? Darry, wake up!" and soon a pair of eyelids opened up to see SpongeTron's face.
Darry was still lying in the street until he fully awoken and sat up as he held his head. "What happened?" he asked. "Where's the Syndicate?"
"Dar, um...good news, bad news," SpongeTron said, rubbing the back of his head. "Good news is that the Syndicate left."
"Awesome!" Darry shouted in triumph as he stood up with a proud smile. "Guess we can even kick bad guy butt in our sleep."
SpongeTron chuckled nervously. "Yeah, but there's still the bad news: They took the Nicktoon Cadets team."
"They took WHAT?!" Darry yelled in shock.
"It's true." Tammy said as she and Tommy stood with Junior. "He saw the whole thing happen."
"Crash and Twitchy are gone!" Junior cried as he hugged Kida's staff. "I'll never see them again!"
"Don't worry." SpongeTron tried to calm down the crying sponge. "911 is gonna get help."
Tommy bitterly pointed out, "Knowing him, how long is that gonna take?"
"Oh man," Darry panicked. "SpongeBob and Tak are gonna kill us once they find out we lost Crash, Twitchy, and Kida. And Dad, he'll..." but then his eyes light up. "Yuki! We have to find Yuki to help us, but how?"
"Think about it, dude." Tommy urged. "If I wanted to find Tammy, I'd look in her closet where her giant poster of Jimmy Neutron is. Where would you find your sister hiding when she's mad?" Tammy suddenly punched Tommy's arm in annoyance. "Ow!"
Darry gave it some thought of what Yuki's location would be. Darry snapped his fingers. "I think I know where she'll be."
They soon arrived at a black magic shop in downtown. Inside, they found shelves filled with scary and supposedly magical objects.
In front of one of the shelves, they found Yuki sitting on the ground with a crystal ball, books, and a couple of stitch dolls on the ground next to her.
"Yuki!" Darry Phantom shouted as he ran over to her. "I'm so glad you're alright."
"Of course I am." Yuki replied. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Please, Yuki!" Junior cried out on his knees in front of her. "You have to help Crash and Twitchy!"
Yuki scoffs. "Why should I? It's Darry and his friends' job to save them. Besides, I found a new hobby." She smiles, holding out two voodoo dolls in each hand that resemble Darry, Tammy, Tommy, and SpongeTron.
"Neat! Dollies!" Junior said, taking out a Tommy doll. He giggles and starts to poke the doll in the eye.
"OW!" Tommy shouted in pain as he rubbed his eye, matching the one Junior poked on the doll.
Junior lifts up the left leg of the doll that looks like Darry. Suddenly, Darry's left leg lifts up and kicks Tammy. Tammy shrieked in pain and glared at Darry, who shrugged with a grin. But then, Junior smacked the doll of Tammy into the Darry doll, which suddenly caused Tammy to collide into Darry and both topple on the ground.
Junior begins to play with the SpongeTron doll, but accidentally yanked his right arm off. SpongeTron's right arm snaps off and falls on the ground. However, SpongeTron didn't seem to react to this and just looked annoyed, "Darn, I just oiled that too."
Darry got up and went over to his sister, "Yuki, we need you with us. The Cadets are in trouble; your team is in trouble." Junior then gripped the Darry doll tightly in his fists and hugged it. Darry's arms suddenly stiffened uncomfortably and he began to suffocate.
Yuki paid no attention to this and just responded, "Why should I care? They're nowhere near as good as your team. Neutron made a mistake by giving me a team like that." then she held up a doll, looking like Jimmy. "But I'll get him back one of these days."
"If you're not gonna help save them, can you at least do something to help us find them?" Tommy asked.
Yuki sighed in annoyance and responds, "Fine. Do you have anything of Kida's, Crash's, or Twitchy's? A hair, cloth, leg? Something that they carry around all the time?"
"How about this thingy?" Junior asked, holding up Kida's staff while simultaneously letting go of the Darry doll, enabling the ghost boy to breathe again.
Yuki placed the staff on a fancy circle drawn out of chalk on the ground. She closes her eyes and claps her hands together. "Find the holder of this object and reveal the location." she chanted.
Tommy looked at his friends and pointed to Yuki and twirled his finger around his head.
Suddenly, Yuki turned back around and told them, "If you wanna find Kida and possibly the Syndicate and the Cadets, go to the abandoned candy factory on the edge of town."
"Are you sure about this, Yuki?" Tammy asked, looking skeptical about the situation.
"You dare doubt me?"
"Even if it sounds crazy, it's the only lead we got." Darry pointed out. "It wouldn't hurt to check."
"Crash! Twitchy!" Junior cried out as he trampled across the Tommy and Darry dolls as he ran out of the shop. "I'm coming!"
Both Darry and Tommy felt a punch in the gut and fell on the floor. Tammy and SpongeTron drag them out of the store as Yuki watched them. But then, she picked up Kida's staff and stared at it as she thought to herself.
In the candy factory just as Yuki predicted, the Syndicate have Crash and Twitchy tied up while Traloc has magical restraints around Kida.
"Let me go!" Kida shouted as she tried to break loose, but to no effect. "Let me go!"
"I don't think so, little girl." Traloc said as he sat Kida on a chair. "Your abilities are too good to pass up, and your daddy isn't going to save you this time."
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Calamitous asked Traloc.
"Of course." Traloc replied in a confident tone. "With your technology, we'll be able to absorb her powers in no time."
Crocker pulled a large lever and a large glass dome suddenly drops down on Kida, trapping her inside as she shut her eyes in fear.
From a corner of the room, Darry Phantom phased himself, Tammy, Tommy, SpongeTron, and Junior through the wall and kept them invisible with his ghost powers.
Junior saw his brothers and smiled while screaming, "Cra-" until SpongeTron clasped a hand over his mouth to keep him from giving away their location.
"Keep quiet." Tammy hushed him, "We have to sneak in to rescue your brothers and Kida."
"And we have to hurry." Darry mentioned. "If they turn on that machine, who knows what'll happen to Kida?"
Darry quietly flew them behind a large box that kept them hidden from the villains. "You stay here, Junior." Tammy instructed. "We'll take care of things here."
"But I wanna help." Junior complained.
"You can't help." Tommy pointed out. "You'll just get in the way. It's bad enough we failed our 'hostage' training exercise with Neutron, but we don't need you getting caught too."
Junior slumped in disappointment, and Darry signaled to his team. "Alright, Nicktoons, let's go stop the Syndicate and save the Cadets."
The three took out their weapons and prepared to go out in battle.
"Alright, turn on the machine!" Traloc ordered as Calamitous pulled a large lever sticking out of the ground.
Electricity sparked from the machine and a magical energy began to leave Kida's body as she screamed from inside the dome.
"Yes!" Traloc shouted in triumph. "In minutes I'll soon have all the magic of the Jujus on my side."
Crash and Twitchy are still tied up when someone comes out from the corner to untie them.
It was Yuki, who took the bandanas from Twitchy and Crash that gagged them. "Yuki?" Crash asked, but Yuki hushed him.
Crocker then pointed out to Traloc. "Don't forget, we'll get fifty percent of the magic you absorb from this little girl since we were the ones who captured her."
"Yes, yes," Traloc nonchalantly replied. "You'll get your share soon enough."
"Not when you all are behind bars!" Tammy hollered as she and the Nicktoons stood there with their weapons.
"Let Kida and the Cadets go." Darry demanded. "Or we'll just go straight to kicking your guys' butts."
"I don't think so, Darrel." Calamitous responded. "With Traloc on our side, we'll defeat you once again."
"Nicktoons Go!" Darry shouted as he and the team charged toward the Syndicate.
Tommy and Tammy go up against Crocker as Poof creates them their specialty weapons: Tammy's magical jump rope and Tommy's magic rifle. Plankton prepares his giant robot to fight SpongeTron which both of his arm turn into blasters.
Darry attempts to phase through the dome to free Kida, but the minute he touches the glass, he receives an electric shock. Calamitous then grabbed him by the back of his suit. "We've already prepared to keep your powers from interfering." Calamitous pointed out as he threw Darry on the ground. "Now call off your team."
"Never!" Darry shouted as he tried to punch Calamitous, who dodged. SpongeTron continued firing lasers which just bounced off of Plankton's robot.
Tommy managed to knock Crocker off his feet and Tammy tied him with her jump rope. But then, Traloc threw magic dust on an electrical cord that suddenly turned into a large snake.
The snake slithered on the ground and went toward Tammy and Tommy. The snake hissed and suddenly wrapped its body around the twins, trapping them in its coils.
Plankton aims another laser towards SpongeTron, but the robot blasts both of his lasers. SpongeTron smirks and blows the smoke from his guns.
SpongeTron was about to aim when Traloc throws dust at him, transforming SpongeTron into a small wind-up toy.
"No!" Darry yelled in panic, seeing the trouble his team is now in.
"Now what will you do, Phantom?" Calamitous mockingly asked with a laugh. "Your team is now incapacitated and you have no way to save the girl."
Darry had no idea what he could do. He had to help his team and the Cadets, stop the Syndicate and their machine, and save Kida. It felt like his training exercise all over again.
"Well, Darry Phantom?" Calamitous asked. "Are you going to surrender to us?"
Darry sighed, thinking there maybe was no other way. But then his eyes wander to see a stitch doll on the floor up ahead that resembled Professor Calamitous. Darry gave a small smile and responded, "Guess I have no choice…" then he slid on the ground and grabbed the doll in his fist, "…But to do this!" then he twisted the doll's arm. Suddenly, Calamitous's arm twists and he yelps in agony.
Then Darry pounds the doll on the ground which causes Calamitous to flip onto the ground. Darry chuckles when he takes out a small rope and ties it around the doll. Calamitous becomes stiff and is unable to move.
"I guess playing with dolls is fun." Darry said as he laid the doll on the ground.
Suddenly, a blur sped past Tommy and Tammy and the snake that was holding them was gone. They wondered what had happened, but Twitchy suddenly zooms up to them, holding the snake, and had three lollipops in his mouth.
"Twitchy, you're okay." Tammy said, happy to see him.
Twitchy rapidly nodded his head and looked at the snake he was holding. It hissed at him, causing Twitchy to scream and drop it.
The snake falls on the ground and it hissed again before striking at the twins, but Crash catches it in time.
"Ha!" Crash yelled with a laugh. "I tackle these critters every other Tuesday!"
The snake unleashes its fangs, but Crash was unafraid. He turns to see Crocker and Plankton getting away. With a daredevil smile, Crash turns the snake into a lasso and twirls it around.
Crash throws the lasso and captures Crocker and Plankton. "YEE-HAW!" Crash shouted as he jumped up and down in the air.
Darry was trying to pull the lever that would shut off the machine, sucking away Kida's powers. But no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't strong enough to pull the lever back.
"Darry!" Yuki yelled as she rushed over.
"Yuki, we need to stop this thing before it's too late." Darry told her as he continued to try and turn off the machine.
Yuki grabbed a hold of the lever and began to pull. But even with their combined efforts, they still couldn't pull the lever to turn off the machine.
Junior suddenly came over to see what the two were doing. "Let me help!" he excitedly suggested. "I wanna help!"
"I don't think you can, Junior," Yuki struggled, "This lever must be pulled by probably someone ten times their own size."
Kida screams in pain as her remaining energy is being sucked away, the machine was beginning to overcharge with power. Junior clenched his teeth in horror.
Traloc waited anxiously for his plan to be complete. But then, Junior screamed and jumped on the lever, causing Darry and Yuki to let go, and then to their surprise, Junior jumped to the ground and pulled the lever down with ease.
Suddenly, the machines stopped absorbing magic from Kida, and the machine began to go in reverse. Seeing this, Traloc yelled, "What?! NO!"
Magic starts to pulsate toward Kida again, unleashing a bright light and making everyone shield their eyes.
"Kida!" Junior shouted in panic at seeing this. He began to rush to the dome and with one punch, managed to shatter the glass into pieces.
Darry and Yuki were agape at Junior's surprising strength. Darry shook his head and flies toward the dome to rescue Kida, but is zapped again by another energy force.
"What's happening?" Yuki asked, seeing Kida screaming in more pain with overwhelming energy.
"Kida can't control her powers! Her powers are back, but her body isn't stable enough to contain them," Tammy explained, recalling Kida's previous explanation.
"Her staff!" Darry suddenly remembered. "Where's her staff?"
"Is this what you're looking for?" Yuki asked as she presented them with Kida's special staff.
Tommy quickly grabbed the staff and threw it into Kida's hands. It landed in her palms and she gripped it, which caused the magical energy around her to disappear and the stone of her staff to glow. It shot out a beam that hit SpongeTron, turning him back from a wind-up toy to his robot self.
Darry quickly flew over to Kida, who was lying unconsciously, and held her in his arms. "Kida?" he asked, trying to wake her up.
Kida began to open her eyes and first saw Darry's face staring down at her. She smiled and shouted, "Darry!" and immediately hugged him.
Darry blushed a bit as Kida hugged him. "Kida, I'm glad to see you alright." He said with a little embarrassment.
Yuki smiles to see Kida alright until Crash hugs her with no explanation. "Yuki, I'm glad you're alright too. Ya sure were tough back there."
Yuki dully frowned and knocked her fist on his helmet. "You were the one who got caught." she reminded.
"Junior, why didn't you tell us you could do stuff like that?" SpongeTron asked.
"I dunno." Junior answered with a shrug. "It's something I've always been able to do. Maybe it's because I'm a paciferist."
"Figures." Tommy whispered to Tammy.
But then, Traloc shouted at them, "How dare you ruin my plans! I was so close to getting all the magic I needed!"
"Well, you just got busted by the Nicktoons," Darry retorted with a smirk.
"And the Nicktoon Cadets," Yuki added.
"Well..." Traloc said as he took out his staff. "I think it's time I turned you all into little tiny bugs and bust you all over the ground."
But before he can blow his magic dust at them, a large light falls all over them. All of a sudden, squads of SpongeTron robots wearing police gear, burst through the doors and the windows, surrounding the area and aim their blasters at Traloc and the Syndicate.
The Nicktoons and Cadets were all amazed by this, even more so when SpongeTron 911 walked into the room. "Finbarr Calamitous, Sheldon Plankton, Denzel Crocker, and Traloc; you are all under arrest!" he shouted to them. "You have the right to remain silent!"
"911!" SpongeTron shouted happily. "You came back! Not that I ever doubted you of course. You are a perfectly functioning robot."
Then, another squad surrounds the Nicktoons and Cadets, pointing their weapons at the group. "Keep an eye on them, gentlemen," 911 warned, "It may be the Syndicate's goons in disguise and they're holding the real Nicktoons somewhere in this building."
"At ease, everyone," Jimmy Neutron called who arrived with Tak, Danny, Timmy, and SpongeBob.
"Dad!" Darry and Yuki shouted happily. The two ran over to Danny and hugged him, which Danny hugged them back.
Twitchy, Crash, and Junior yell out in joy as they surrounded SpongeBob and hugged him. SpongeBob smiles as he wraps his arms around his three boys.
"Kida!" Tak called to her, which Kida ran toward her father in tears and jumped in his arms. Happily reunited, Tak looks up to find the villain behind this, "Traloc…I should have known." He sneered, narrowing his eyes
While Tammy and Tommy stood with their father, Tammy asked Jimmy, "How did you know where to find us?"
"SpongeTron 911 contacted us at HQ and informed us of the situation, and based on what Tak told us of Kida's circumstances, we were able to deduce where the Syndicate's location was and, with the aid of the functioning SpongeTron robots, were able to apprehend them.
SpongeTron stared at all his fellow SpongeTron bots arresting the villains. "It's wonderful, Commander." he said with glowing eyes. "You really did it."
"Not all of it, SpongeTron." Jimmy mentioned. "You showed me that one certain ST-Unit had a chance of finding his place in the world. And thanks to you, he found it as head of the new police force."
"Search him!" SpongeTron 911 ordered as he pointed to Traloc as the other units were taking him in. "He could be holding dynamite on him!"
Jimmy narrowed his eyes. "Of course, we'll still need to keep an eye on him for a while."
"You had me worried, Darry." Danny told his son. "After what I heard, you and Yuki shouldn't have gone here by yourselves."
"It was no prob, Pop." Darry assured with his arms behind his head, "It was Yuki and her team that saved the day."
"That's right." Yuki added excitedly. "I love being in the Nicktoon Cadets. And I love my new teammates."
"I loved it too, Daddy!" Junior told SpongeBob excitedly. "It was so much fun, and I got to save the day and make everyone happy!"
"And we got to kick butt and I hogged down two baddies!" Crash added.
"Wedidit!Wedidit!" Twitchy cheered rapidly as he hopped up and down.
"And Kida, what do you think of your new team?" Tak asked his daughter.
"Well..." Kida said as she began thinking, but then shouted out, "It was AWESOME!" Then she ran over to Darry and grabbed his arm, rubbing her head on it. "We should team up more often." she said affectionately.
"Uh...yeah," Darry nodded, but quickly pulls his hand away from her.
"Then I guess it's settled." Jimmy began saying, "The Nicktoon Cadets are formed. While you won't be going on mission matching the Nicktoons' level, your progress will still be judged and after that, I'll see about upgrading you. But after today, it seemed like a good start...for both of you."
Both the Nicktoons and the Cadets cheered as they ran out of the room. Danny sighed as he watched the excited youngsters with concern.
SpongeBob pat his back and said, "Don't worry about them. If anything like that were to happen again, we'll be ready...and so will they. They're like us."
As SpongeBob left with the others, Danny considered what he said yet still couldn't seem to let go of his past...and wasn't sure if he ever could.
