Chapter 8: Protect the Krusty Krab

At Cerebral Academy, after math class, all the students walked out of their classes with Jimmy walking beside Wendy.

"Well, that wasn't so bad." Jimmy said to Wendy. "I was expecting a little more."

"Are you kidding?" Wendy asked as she smiled. "You answered almost every question correctly."

Jimmy looked down as he blushed a bit. "Well, I guess I should've let you answer at least one."

"Oh, don't worry. It was pretty neat seeing you answer them with no problem. Even that Dylan boy answered some of the questions correctly."

"Oh, right, Dylan." Jimmy remembered with a worried look. "Other than you and me, he also aced the Pop Quiz."

Wendy smiled until Jimmy suddenly said, "Uh, sorry, Wendy, but I have to get back to my dormitory and call Carl and Sheen like I promised. I have to do it before my next class."

When Jimmy started running away, Wendy called after him, "Don't forget to meet me at lunch later!"


Jimmy soon reached his room and tried to open the door, but it was locked. "Oh great," he muttered in annoyance, but stopped when he heard noise coming from inside. "Dylan? Dylan, are you in there?"

He knocked, but there was no answer. Then he reached around in his school bag for his key until he eventually found it and used it to unlock the door. When he went inside, his eyes widen in shock, "Dylan!"

He found most of his inventions scattered on the floor and his roommate holding his Hyper Cube. Jimmy glared angrily and shouted, "Dylan, what are you doing?"

"Just rummaging through your so-called inventions to see if you really are genius like you state you are," Dylan answered. "Though, this four-dimensional hypercube mildly intrigues me."

"Give me that!" Jimmy snapped as he snatched the Hypercube out of Dylan's hand. "You can't go around snooping through your roommate's stuff. That's a total violation of privacy."

"This happens to be MY room." Dylan proclaimed as he took out a photograph of Jimmy with Timmy, Danny, SpongeBob, and Tak all looking happy together. "And I have every privilege to rifle through YOUR belongings if I please."

Jimmy growled as he snatched the photo out of Dylan's hand.

Then Dylan turned away as he said, "Anyway, you better proceed onward now. You don't want to keep your girlfriend waiting."

"Girlfriend?" Jimmy questioned in shock.

"Yes, the perky blonde girl that shares math and chemistry class with us." Dylan explained.

"You mean Wendy? She's not my girlfriend."

Dylan chuckled lightly. "Oh please, I can see you have obvious feelings for her, so there is no use in concealing it."

Jimmy blushed hard until he glared, "So what's it to you? All I want is for you to stay away from my stuff!"

"Well…" Dylan began saying as he walked over to the edge of Jimmy's bed and pulled out the helmet and pack to Jimmy's Neutronic Mech-Suit. "Does that include this?"

Jimmy gasped and demanded, "You better hand that back to me!"

But Dylan just continued to examine the suit. "If I could conjecture, I would say that this is a mechanical suit that has the capability of granting the wearer power of stupendous energy and miraculous capabilities."

Jimmy anger suddenly disappeared with a look of astonishment. "How did you know?"

"I can tell by the design you utilized. Anyone who would bear this would be fixed with tremendous power."

"Well, actually, I consider that one of my failed inventions." Jimmy said shamefully.

"Ha!" Dylan said with a smirk as he dropped the suit. "I thought even you wouldn't have capacity to even invent something like this."

"Don't get your hopes too high, Hewitt." Jimmy warned, "I'll have you know that my Neutronic Mech-Suit functions perfectly, but I'll warn you that the flaws it holds can be overwhelming."

"Oh really? Well, I guess you're not that intellectual after all, Nerdtron." Dylan then laughed at him while Jimmy glared back at him.


Meanwhile, in Bikini Bottom, all is peaceful…unless you're at the Krusty Kab. Several familiar-looking robots were marching toward the Krusty Krab while inside, SpongeBob had a terrified look as he watched through the glass door.

He turned to Sandy and Squidward. "This is bad, guys! What'll we do?" he asked.

Sandy pounded her fist into her hand and shouted, "We gotta fend those varmints off is what we gotta do! At least until your buddies arrive!"

Squidward just ducked behind the cash register with a terrified expression, "I'm just gonna sit here and make sure I don't get hurt."

Mr. Krabs came out of his office to spot the hoards of robots coming this way. "Well, I'll be," he said with excitement. "Loads of customers comin' this way and hungry-looking ones as well."

Sandy glared at him and shouted, "They ain't customers, Mr. Krabs! They're dirty robots that are up to no good!"

"Sandy's right, Mr. Krabs!" SpongeBob tried to explain also. "Those robots are evil and work for someone even more evil. I've seen it myself!"

"And how do I know they don't actually wanna eat krabby patties." Mr. Krabs asked in disbelief.

Then suddenly a laser fired through the window and narrowly missed SpongeBob, Sandy, and Mr. Krabs. But hit the wall above Squidward's head.

"Does that answer your question?" a voice said as the three turn to see Danny Phantom with Timmy and Tak.

"Guys, you're here!" SpongeBob said excitedly.

Danny flew over to Mr. Krabs and said, "You go hide in your office while the rest of us take care of these rust buckets."

"Alright, but don't be expectin' any reward money in return." Mr. Krabs warned before he left.

"Happy to do it for free, sir." Danny saluted.

Then a bunch of robotic hands burst through the glass windows in an attempt to break in. SpongeBob and Sandy made karate poses as Timmy and Tak took out their weapons.

"Nicktoons Unite!" Danny shouted before they all charged forward.

SpongeBob and Sandy karate chopped the robots' arms that were trying to get through the window and the force broke them off and fell to the ground as they sparked with electricity. Danny was in the air, shooting the robots with ecto-beams and blowing them away. When a robot was coming through the window, Tak used his staff to bash the head off the robot.

SpongeBob took out his bubble wand and blew a bubble bomb that he threw at the robots outside causing them to blow up.

"Nice one, little buddy!" Sandy congratulated as she high-fived SpongeBob.

As Tak shot magic beams from his staff at the robots, he stopped and turned to Danny, "There's too many of them!"

"What do we do?" Timmy asked Tak.

"Don't ask me!" Tak yelled back.

Danny ignored Timmy and Tak's bickering and smiled with an idea, "I got it. SpongeBob, Sandy, hold the door open!"

SpongeBob and Sandy looked confused, but did what he wanted. The two pull the doors open and stand to the sides as they hold them open while Danny walks to the front. He takes a deep breath and lets out his Ghostly Wail.

The force of the power blew the robots that were in front of the doorway away from the Krusty Krab. Then Danny stepped out of the restaurant and let out another Ghostly Wail to his right and blew back the remaining robots and did the same to the ones on his left.

Once there was nothing left of the robots, Danny panted in exhaustion and leaned forward a bit. SpongeBob ran over to him and gave him a hug. "Danny, you did it!"

"Yeah…" Danny wearily said with a smile. "I guess that solves that problem."

But suddenly they heard a loud noise, and turn around to see it come from inside the kitchen. SpongeBob gasped in fright, "We must've missed a few."

Danny stood up and said in determination, "I'll take care of it."

"Right!" Tak agreed with his staff held out.

"Actually, I'll take care of it ALONE." Danny said, holding his hand out and pushing Tak back.

"You sure?" Tak asked, feeling unsure as he stared at him.

"I'm sure." Danny replied. "You, Timmy, SpongeBob, and Sandy make sure there aren't any more goons around. As leader, I'll check the back."

He walked off without another word and headed into the kitchen. He slowly pushed open the door and moved his eyes around to survey the area.

Then Danny walked in and continued to look around until he suddenly heard the door close behind him, which caused him to turn around and gasp.

"Hello Daniel," Danny turned back around to see Vlad Plasmius standing behind him, "Fancy seeing you here."

"Plasmius." Danny sneered. "I was expecting to see Plankton here again, but I didn't really think it'd be you the one who's behind all this."

"Frankly, my dear boy," Vlad continued in a calm tone and smirk. "I'm a bit surprised myself. I was certain I'd be ordered to fetch the sponge in square pants for the one who hired me, but apparently it's you he wants."

"'Sponge'?" Danny questioned with a confused look.

"That's right. He wants me to bring you to him alive, though he said nothing about unharmed." Vlad fired an ecto-beam at Danny, who quickly put a shield to stop it.

Danny lowered his shield and glared, "Well, whoever wants me; you can tell him I'm not interested- Especially if he has to send a bunch of robots along with you to come and get me."

"Why don't you just tell him that yourself?"

Before he knew it, a duplicate of Vlad appeared behind Danny and fired an ecto-beam at his back causing the ghost boy to scream in pain as he fell to the ground unconscious. Then the real Vlad stood over him.

Vlad smirked and muttered, "…once you're there."

Hope you enjoyed it. It looks like things have gone from bad to worse for the Nicktoons, especially Danny. What will the rest of the Nicktoons do without both leaders? Hope you review and the wait for the next chapter.
