Chapter 9: Inator Wars: The Fight for Danville
Heinz had entered Earth's atmosphere and was about to approach Danville. The entire city watched in horror as their certain doom stared them right in the face. Riots were breaking out. The city was in absolute chaos. Everyone was making an effort to evacuate the entire city of Danville. Heinz watched from above and wore an evil grin on his face. He then pushed a button which released a giant cannonball from the bottom of the warship. It crashed into the local Danville pub, starting a mass fire in the building. Everyone managed to evacuate it without severe injury, but now everyone knew how serious Heinz actually was. Before today, he was just a guy with a crazy aspiration. Now, Heinz managed to completely break down into a malicious, power-hungry madman that would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Phineas, Perry, and Isabella rode on the hoverboard to the warship, while Surge flew toward it himself. Surge shot everything he had in his arsenal to break the colossal death-machine open: rockets, grenades, bullets, and even miniature-sized bombs. When the three got close enough, Surge's arm detached, revealing an even sharper and longer blade than before. He got up to the ship's hull and sliced away at it until there was enough room for Phineas, Perry, and Isabella to enter. Phineas stepped inside and commanded Surge to go down to the building to help Ferb out. Surge did as he was told, and he met Ferb and Vanessa at the site of the Apocalypsinator.
Once Phineas, Perry, and Isabella were inside, they tried to sneak up on Heinz. However, before they could incapacitate him, he noticed them creeping behind him and got off his chair. "So, Perry the Platypus, you escaped from your trap. And, you also have reinforcements. Too bad all of you are completely helpless!" He stomped his foot on the ground when he said the word "completely", which activated a cage trap from the top of the ship, which was about to drop on the trio. Perry, with his trained reaction time skills from the O.W.C.A., managed to sidestep the cage. However, Phineas and Isabella were not able to escape. They were trapped in the cage.
"So, Perry, it's now mano a mano…or should I say, 'mano a platypus-o.' Let this be the final showdown for all of Danville!" Heinz pulled out a blue raygun. He shot it at Perry, but he jumped out of the way. Suddenly, the very spot the ray hit was covered in a red slime. "This is my StandStill-inator. It completely freezes the motion of anything it hits with my special quick-hardening red goo!" He aimed it at Perry's feet several times, but Perry was able to maneuver around every shot. Finally, Heinz just held the trigger down and aimed it all around the bottom of the warship. He managed to hit Perry in the right hind foot, which immobilized that foot. However, due to Heinz's unloading of the raygun, it was then out of power and would no longer work.
Perry then grabbed an orange raygun from one of Heinz's crates of inventions. He then didn't hesitate at all to shoot it at Heinz, no matter what it did. He shot Heinz in the arm, and five seconds later, his arm grew about twice the normal size. "Oh great, the Enlarge-Inator…That's not gonna go down anytime soon." Perry kept shooting at Heinz's nose, which grew to become as long as the rest of his body. Due to his weighed-down nose, it was quite difficult to maneuver. However, he eventually got ahold of Perry and threw the Enlarge-Inator out of the warship.
Perry and Heinz both grabbed items out of random crates in the back of the warship. Eventually, Perry found a small item that looked like a flashlight, which read "SWEAT-INATOR", while Heinz obtained what looked like a pair of sunglasses, which were actually his "Deflect-Inator". Perry shined the Sweat-Inator at Heinz, but the rays were deflected right back at Perry. Suddenly, a large amount of milk spilled onto the floor. Perry suddenly felt very tired due to the immense amount of liquid he had just lost. However, as Phineas and Isabella screamed and cheered on Perry to get up, he finally found strength from within to get up. Limping toward Heinz, he swung his tail at Heinz's face with all his might. This sent Heinz flying back to the floor. By now, the swelling in his nose was slightly going down, but his arm was still huge. So, he decided to make use of it and swung his mammoth arm at Perry a few times. The last swing hit Perry, sending him to the wall.
Perry and Heinz were by now extremely disoriented. They had both suffered strange but harsh complications due to the different Inators they had used to fight with. Eventually, both of them were on the ground, panting. Perry was able to get up first, however, and he dug through the several inventions and shot them at the metal cage that encased Phineas and Isabella. He tried four different inventions, all of which had no effect. Finally, he picked up a fifth. Before he could use it, however, Heinz picked him up and threw him to the wall. This highly disoriented Perry once again, and it left him helpless. However, after a few seconds, he was able to gain full consciousness and shoot the cage once again. Luckily, the invention was just what he needed: the "Rust-Inator". The metal corroded and was filled with rust, in a matter of seconds, which severely weakened the metal. Phineas was able to break it open enough that he and Isabella could escape. The three tackled Heinz all at once so he was pinned to the ground, once again in near-consciousness.
Meanwhile, Ferb, Vanessa, and Surge tried to figure out how to get rid of the Apocalypsinator. Ferb tried analyzing the parts and trying to dismantle them, piece by piece. However, he couldn't separate anything, and when he tried, he would get a large amount of electrostatic shock. Vanessa looked all over for one of her dad's infamous flaws in his inventions, such as a self-destruct button of some sort. However, there was no such thing. She then shot the machinery with the laser gun she stole from her dad's warship. The gun emitted a high-energy blast which would probably rip through anything, but alas, the machine practically absorbed the energy. She tried to shoot it with the last few shots she had, but the same effect happened every time.
Phineas and Perry tied Heinz to his chair in a way that he could not move. Heinz struggled for a few moments and then gave up, realizing he was stuck. "Can't a guy just take over the tri-state area in peace?" Perry slapped Heinz in the face for that comment, and they went along and tried to figure out the mechanics of the piloting system. Perry then saw that Heinz's Naviginator was able to be modified by means of a password. Heinz grinned, saying "Ha! You'll never guess my super-secret security pass-" "PASSWORD ACCEPTED: DOOFALICIOUS" Heinz shut his eyes and screamed "I should really change that freaking password!"
In Heinz's old building, Ferb and Vanessa stood back as Surge nearly unloaded his entire arsenal at the machine. After all the smoke cleared, the Apocalypsinator shockingly showed no sign of damage. In fact, it looked even more unstable and dangerous due to absorbing the high amounts of energy that had been delivered to it. The trio was befuddled and had no idea what to do. Ferb took out his walkie-talkie and said "The machine can't be broken. We're completely helpless."
Phineas and Isabella managed to figure out the navigational controls to pilot the warship themselves without too much trouble, while Perry made sure Heinz couldn't get out of the bind he was in. After about fifteen minutes of getting the warship at a good angle, Phineas was finally able to land the warship. Due to the size of the warship, however, the landing caused a large shaking of the building and the ship itself. Due to the vibrations, Phineas fell down and the ropes surrounding Heinz were loosened. All of a sudden, Heinz could see that a key fell out of Phineas's pocket.
It was the key to the city, which Phineas had almost completely forgotten about after he had put it in his pocket. Heinz picked it up and maniacally laughed. Phineas and Isabella shared a collective "Oh no…" and stared in horror as Heinz inserted the key into his remote. Phineas pulled out his walkie-talkie and screamed as loud as he can, "Ferb! Vanessa! Surge! We need to get out of here, he's got the key! I repeat, he's got the key!" All of a sudden, Heinz pressed the button on his remote, kicked Phineas and Isabella off the warship, and flew away.
On Ferb's team's side, the Apocalypsinator started to pulsate, and the energy core was growing bigger, about to break out of its nearly-impenetrable casing. Surge created a forcefield and encased it around himself, Ferb, and Vanessa. Surge then flew through the metal ceiling of the near-exploding building. Just before the building managed to explode and release a supersonic blast, he was able to retrieve Phineas, Isabella, and Perry and fly everyone up above the range of the blast. The team was saved, but the city of Danville was lost to Heinz Doofenshmirtz.
