Time Fixers: Nicktoons of the Future

Episode 05: Attack of the Killer Plants

Plot: During the hottest day of the year, Darry accidentally awakens Undergrowth, who was previously defeated by Danny Phantom years ago. Now he's back and takes over HQ. With his plants, he kidnaps Danny and other Nicktoon associates, replacing them with plant clones that require sapping their life energy from the originals in order to become stable. Undergrowth also kidnaps Yuki in order to create his new "daughter" and plant queen to his new realm, and SpongeTron to reprogram into a "human-whacker". Without Danny's ice powers to inherit, can Darry and friends save his sister and everyone in HQ before they become plant food?

Part 1

It was a hot day in Retroville. Fellow Nicktoon, Tammy Turner, was planting flowers outside HQ. She wipes the sweat off her brow and waters a daisy. "There you go. That should help quench your thirst."

Suddenly, a soccer ball squashes the plant flat. Tammy squeals, but glares at Tommy, who grabs the ball with his foot. "I got it!" he called to his friends, playing soccer.

Tommy kicks the ball toward Yuki, who with Junior and Crash are up against the rival team: Darry, Twitchy, Kida, and SpongeTron. Yuki runs in one direction while dribbling the ball with her feet. "Heads up!" she shouts as she kicks the ball.

Crash catches the ball in time and heads towards Darry, who was the goalie. "Let's see y'all handle this one!" Crash shouts as he flips through the air and kicks the ball toward the goal.

Darry shoots a ghost ray from his finger, deflecting the ball from the goal. Suddenly, something at superfast speed catches the ball and zooms past Crash. "Myball! Myball! Myball!" Twitchy was dribbling the ball toward the goal when it glowed with pink energy and flew away from him.

"It's my turn with the ball!" Kida shouted as she used her magic staff to steal the ball and start kicking it toward the goal. "Darry, Tommy, watch me!"

She kicks it and falls backwards on the ground while doing so and it flies toward the goal post where Junior was looking at the ground through his magnifying glass while wearing a sun hat. He turns to see the ball coming toward him through the object.

"AAAAHH!" Junior screamed loudly. But luckily, he kicked the ball away and it flew at incredible speed across the field and hit Darry into the opposing team's goal post.

"Goal!" Tommy shouted loudly.

"Yee-haw!" Crash cheered as he ran over to Junior, who was trembling. "You were better than a croc with a tail made of steel."

"Heh, it was nothing," Junior replied, bashful.

"Hey Buster!" Crash called out to Buster, who was reading a comic near the HQ doorway, "Wanna join us in soccer? We could use another team player!" Buster just looked at him with a dull frown and went back to reading his comic. "Suit yourself." Crash said with shrug as he cartwheeled away.

Darry slowly sat up after getting the wind knocked out of him by Junior's kick. SpongeTron grabbed his hand and helped him up. "You okay, Darry?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Darry answered, holding up the ball. "Soccer isn't my thing." He throws the ball aside when his father, Danny, arrives. Danny looks away from his newspaper to see the soccer ball and catches it with his feet. He bounces the ball with ease.

"But it sure is your dad's thing." SpongeTron said in excitement before running away from Dar. "Mr. Fenton! Wanna be the new Goalie!"

This seemed to annoy Darry a bit. He took off his hat and wiped the sweat off his forehead before putting his hat back on. He went to sit on a bench next to a pitcher of lemonade. Kida walked over to him and noticed his now sulky behavior. "What's wrong, Dar?" she asked.

"Nothing." Darry answered calmly. "I guess I'm just little hot right now from the heat."

"You're lying," Kida said, touching her forehead, "I sense through the Jujus that something's wrong. It's okay to tell me. We're friends after all."

"It's nothing." Darry insisted as he poured a glass of lemonade. "I swear." he drank some lemonade, but noticed something. "Oh great. The ice is already melted."

"Oh here, let me help," Danny offered, taking Darry's cup. With a finger, he shoots a small freeze ray that freezes the lemonade. "That should do it," Danny smiled and walks away whistling.

Darry suddenly frowns again until Kida holds up her glass of lemonade to him. "It's okay, Darry. You can use your powers to put ice in my drink."

Darry looked at Kida's drink. "I would, but…" he takes a deep breath and sighs. "Can you keep a secret? The truth is, I don't really-"

"Mr. Fenton!" Tammy called to Danny, who ran toward her. "Yuki's wrecking my flowers!"

"Hey," Yuki shrugs as she steps off the flower patch, "It's not my fault I'm stepping on your weeds. It's not like I'm gonna ruin Mother Nature."

"Well, you're ruining MY garden!" Tammy shouted angrily. "Jimmy will never see all the beautiful flowers I've grown for him if you all keep ruining them!"

"I see you don't have your mother's green thumb," Danny responded to his daughter, "Yuki, say sorry."

Yuki turned her head away as she glared with her arms crossed. Eventually she mumbled, "...Sorry."

"And Dar," Danny called out to him, "Neutron's got a mission for you inside."

"What is it?" Darry asked.

Inside HQ in a large hallway with many doors and a glass dome above them, Jimmy answered, "I'd like you to open the panels so we can try out our new solar powered generator."

"You want me to open the panels?" Darry asked again.

"Yeah, I temporarily turned off the electricity for the solar generator and since you can fly like your dad, I thought you can go up there and open them manually."

Darry scoffed with a cocky smile. "No problem. This is something that even Junior can do."

Darry changed to ghost form and flew up just as Jimmy mentioned, "The panels are also made of titanium steel, so it may be a little heavy to move. If you have trouble, just..."

"Relax! I said I would do it!" Darry interrupted as he grabbed a hold of the panel and began to try and pull it open. However, this was easier said than done as he couldn't even get it to budge.

"Come on, Darry!" Jimmy rooted. "Use that ghostly strength!" Darry continued to try and open the panels, but he didn't seem to be using any possible strength that his ghost form was supposed to have. Jimmy began to cock an eyebrow at the zero progress being made. "Darry? Do you want me to call your father for help?

Darry widened his eyes. "No thanks!" he quickly called out. "I said I can handle it!" Darry tried once again to push the panels open on his own. He tried punching it, kicking it, and even using a crowbar, but nothing seemed to work for him.

Darry floated back down to Jimmy in exhaustion and reverted to human form. He pants as Jimmy rubs his chin. "That's peculiar. I assumed you would've inherited Danny Phantom's super strength."

Once Darry settled down a bit, he responded, "I could've done it. It's just so hot in here, I wasn't at my game."

Jimmy smiled and rubbed Darry's head. "How about I offer you another job?"

Soon, Jimmy takes Darry to a dark room. "Where are we? What is this place?" Darry wondered when Jimmy turned on the lights, revealing a room full of strange antiques and gadgetry each displayed in a glass case.

"Hey wait," Darry realized when he found some objects very familiar. "Is that Skulker's prototype suit? And that's Ember's guitar and Johnny 13's bike."

"That's right," Jimmy nodded, "This is the Hall of Villains. Every gadgetry, weapon, and doomsday device used by every one of our foes is stored in here."

Darry looked around and saw Professor Calamitous's robot suit, Plankton's robot krabby patty, and Mr. Crocker's fairy detector. "Dude, this is gnarly!" Darry said in awe, "I can't believe you kept all this stuff!"

"Tak got into this phase of collecting souvenirs from the villains we defeated when we were children." Jimmy explained. "However, we decided to keep everything since it did technically hold sentimental value."

Darry was holding up Pariah Dark's Crown of Fire, but threw it aside when he found something more interesting. "Ooh...what's that?" Darry pointed at a black box that's locked up and placed inside a glass case like the others.

Darry took off the dome to take a look, but Jimmy snatches it from him and puts it back. "That, you don't need to know," Jimmy sternly explained, "Well, not yet anyway."

"What's inside?"

"Darrel, there's a reason why we preserved these items," Jimmy cautioned, "To prevent the Syndicate or any other villain from using them to create catastrophes. Each one of these can be very harmful and dangerous."

Darry didn't heed any attention to Jimmy. "Is it a ray gun? A detonator? A jewel that brings the dead back to life?"

"Worse than any of those put together." Jimmy answered as he moved Darry away from the shelf. "And something that you will hopefully never have to face in your life."

"So you're giving me the mission to guard these dangerous items, sir?" Darry asked, saluting. However, Jimmy lends him a feather duster. Darry immediately slumped over in disappointment, realizing just what his mission really was. "Seriously?" he groaned.

"These have been gathering dust lately." Jimmy informed him. "Make sure everything in here is spotless, and be careful not to break anything. I need to acquire your father to assist in getting those solar panels up and running."

Darry lets another groan and grabs the duster from Jimmy. "I knew you'd understand," Jimmy said in approval, but before leaving the hall he instructs, "And I mean it, Dar. Be like your dad and DON'T touch anything."

Once Darry was alone, he reluctantly began to work and carefully dusts all the items and shelves. "'Be like your dad' he says." he angrily said to himself. "I couldn't do that even if I tried." He stops working and turns to the black box Jimmy had forbid.

Darry creeps toward the shelf and stares closely at it. He smirked, "'Don't touch anything' huh?" he rises up his hand and turns it intangible; "This is technically not touching." Using his ability, he phases through the glass dome and takes the black box. Darry tries to opening it, but couldn't. "Locked huh?" Darry looks around to see no one watching him. He reaches into his pocket and takes out a small hairpin.

Taking a couple tries, Darry was able to open the box. "Gotcha!" he smiled, slowly opening the box to see what's inside. He frowns to see it was a small seed. "This is it?" he asked in disappointment. "The thing more dangerous than a detonator is a stupid seed? If I wanted one of these, I'd plant a garden like Tammy."

"Hey Dar!" a voice rang out, alarming him. "Are you in there?"

Darry yelped and accidentally dropped the seed. He closes the box and phases it back inside the glass dome. Kida came to the Hall, holding her glass of lemonade.

"Oh, here you are." Kida said in excitement. "Whatcha doing in here?"

"Uh, just helping Jimmy clean up." Darry quickly answered. "But I just finished. What's up?"

"We need your help with something." Kida told him. "You're the only one who can help us."

"Alright," Darry agreed, deciding to leave this place to help with something more important, but bumps into Kida, making her spill her lemonade on the ground.

"Oops." Kida sheepishly said. "This is bad."

"Don't worry about it. I'll clean it up later." Darry grabs Kida's hand and drags her out. "Let's go." They exited the Hall of Villains, but unknown to them, Kida's lemonade was spilled on the seed, making it wet. Suddenly, the seed absorbs the liquid and starts glowing.

The two went outside in the hot sun where Darry became anxious. "What's wrong?" he asked Kida. "Did the Syndicate attack? Did aliens invade? Did we get robbed?"

"Of course not, silly." Kida answered with a laugh. "Crash came up with a great idea. Buster's spraying the ground with water from the hose and we're gonna ice skate. But since your dad's busy, we need you to use your powers to make ice."

Darry froze and starts sweating. "Yeah, about that..."

"Come on, Fenton!" Crash called out with the rest of the Nicktoons and Cadets showing up. "Use them freezin' powers so we can ice skate!"

"Iceskate! Iceskate! Iceskate!" Twitchy jumped up and down.

"What?" Yuki asked, confused by what they were requesting, "Darry doesn't have-" but Darry covers his sister's mouth.

"Junior!" Tammy shouted when Junior was pointing a magnifying glass at one of her flowers in the garden. "Look what you're doing!"

"What?" Junior asked in confusion. "I just wanted to look at the flowers close up." but when the sunlight hit the magnifying glass, it reflected a light that pointed at the flower and began to make it smoke and burn up. Tammy glared at Junior, who hid his magnifying glass. "Oopsie."

"Hey, here's a better idea," Darry suggested. "Why don't we all go inside HQ and find Neutron's freeze ray to do the job. How about it, guys?"

"But since we've known you, we've never seen you use ice powers like your dad." Tommy pointed out. "Come on already, I'm sweating here."

Darry became nervous again and spotted Buster wetting the ground with a garden hose, looking at Darry as if waiting for him to freeze the water. "Uh... look!" Darry pointed out, "A dwarf comet!"

Everyone looks back to see where the "comet" was. "I don't see any-" Tommy turned back to see Darry was gone. "Guess he didn't wanna do it."

"Yuki, why don't you get the freeze ray so we can skate?" Tammy suggested to her.

"Whatever," Yuki waved off and walks into HQ.

Later, Yuki finds herself in a lab, which was too dark to see. She looks around to find a freeze ray. As she takes a step forward, Yuki feels a strong presence nearby. She turns around but sees nothing. "Hello?" she calls out.

No one responds and assumes it's nothing, but continues looking around the room to find what she is looking for. Yuki hears something and turns to find what appears to be some sort of tentacle. "Dar? Is that you?" Yuki asked, "If it is, it's not funny." She backs away, but hits a counter. Yuki turns to find the freeze ray on the counter. "Oh, here it is. It's my lucky day," she smiled, but senses a strong evil presence behind her. She turns around to meet glowing red eyes.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Nicktoons and Cadets go inside HQ to find Jimmy, Timmy, Tak, and Danny. "Hey Mr. Neutron, can we borrow your freeze ray?" Crash asked him, "We wanna freeze the ground so we can go ice skating."

"We were gonna ask Darry." Tommy mentioned. "But when we did, he kinda freaked out and disappeared."

"We also asked Yuki," Tammy recalled, "But we haven't seen her since."

"I'll give it to you in a little bit." Jimmy told them. "Right now, I'm introducing the function of HQ through the use of solar power. A sunny day like today makes it the perfect time to try it out." Jimmy puts on his sunglasses and signals Danny. "Hit it!"

Danny uses ghost manipulation to open up all the panels. The sunrays reflected through the glass dome and onto the panels. As soon as they touch the panels, everything in HQ was online. "Oooh…" everyone said amazed.

But then something was caught by the solar panels' rays which began to hiss strangely. "AAAGGGH!" a voice cried out.

"Darry?" Danny recognized the voice. The thing burning up was Darry, who was invisible, but was hit by the sunrays. He turns visible again and falls on the ground.

The Nicktoons gasps. "Mayday! Mayday!" SpongeTron cried out to see smoke coming from Darry's clothes.

"Goddard!" Jimmy called out which Goddard runs to him. Using Goddard's tail and fire extinguisher mode, Jimmy sprayed foam at him. Darry was covered in a big pile of foam, which began to drip off of him as he glared in annoyance.

"Darrel Scott, what on Earth where you doing up there?" Danny asked in a strict manner.

"Nothing." Darry immediately answers as he stands up and turns intangible, causing the foam to drop off his body and leave him completely dry.

"Great!" Crash smiled to see him. "Now that you're here, we can go ice skating!"

"If Buster sprays some water on the ground again, you can use your powers to freeze it." Kida excitedly suggested.

The kids look up to Darry, who looks tensed. He sighs. "Guys, listen up. I haven't been honest lately, but I-"

"There's no need." the gang turns to find Yuki, holding up the freeze ray. "I already have it."

"Yuki!" Crash shouted happily to see her. "Y'all got the freeze ray!"

"That's right," Yuki smiled and looks up to notice Jimmy's new invention. "What's this do-hickey, Commander?"

"Weird, Yuki's looking a bit cheerful today," Tommy whispers to Tammy. For SpongeTron, he looks at her with glaring suspicion.

"It's the next generation of power, which is solar power energy," Jimmy introduced.

"Hold on a minute, wasn't solar power already invented?" Timmy mentions.

"That's true, but this will power the next generation of our line of weaponry without using any electricity," Jimmy explained, "We'll be going green."

"That's great!" Yuki cheered with her arms up, "That's what the world needs, for us to be green."

"Funny, I didn't think Yuki would be so environmental," Tammy noticed about Yuki's behavior, given that she had already tried to stomp on her flowers.

"Hmm..." SpongeTron was skeptical and asked, "Tell me, Yuki, when were you such a big fan of plants?"

"I don't know. My mom always had a thing for plants." Yuki innocently replied with a shrug. "I guess it finally rubbed off on me."

"I don't think so," SpongeTron said, holding up a laser cannon. With a click, SpongeTron blasted Yuki with a powerful blast, obliterating her.

Everyone gasped in shocked. "YUKI!" Danny cried and glared at SpongeTron. Danny turned to ghost form and charged his hands with powerful ghost energy. "Why you-"

"Wait," Jimmy called to him, pointing. Everyone watched in horror to see the remains of Yuki's lower body. Suddenly, vines start to grow from the bottom and began to form into a human shape. With a small glow, the thing changed back to Yuki or what appears to be her.

The Nicktoons gasped in shock. "Okay…that is the grossest thing I have even seen," Tammy said, disgusted.

"More like the most awesome," Tommy said, somewhat amazed.

"What is that thing?" Darry asked in fright. "Why does it look like my sister?"

"No, it can't be," Danny realized when the ground underneath began to rumble. Moss sprouted underneath that grew more vines and flowers. A large plant-like creature arises from the floors and begins to form into the familiar enemy that Danny has known. "Undergrowth!"

"Danny Phantom!" the plant creature, Undergrowth began to say, "We meet again."

Then, Venus flytraps emerge and shot out toward him. Danny jumps into the air and freezes the flytraps with his ice ability.

"Darry," Tak began to instruct as he took out his staff. "Take Kida and the rest of the kids outside."

Darry changes to ghost form. "Nicktoons, let's go," he commanded and ran toward the exit. However, a large tree grew in front of them blocking the exit. Darry leads them to the other direction only to be blocked by another plant.

Undergrowth sends more vines and flytraps to attack. Timmy uses Cosmo and Wanda as double sickles to counterattack. Jimmy takes Goddard, who transforms into a circular saw. Jimmy and Timmy cut down the roots of the plants while Tak and Danny freeze the plants.

Danny continues to freeze the plants. "I thought I got rid of you for good," he yelled out, who shoot an ice ray from his eyes to freeze Undergrowth.

But the plant ghost breaks free. "You thought you did." Undergrowth responded, "Until I was freed from my imprisonment and given the proper nourishment to grow back."

Danny froze another vine and retorted, "You were beaten once and you'll be beaten again." Danny was about to throw an ecto-snowball, but Yuki blocks it. Danny gasped when all four vines grab him by the arms and legs. Yuki's outfit transforms; turning that of the Plant Girl Sam was years ago.

When Crash sees this, he gets a love-struck look as he sighs, "I thought she was shinin' before, but now…" but Buster just grabs his arm and pulls him away.

"What have you done with Yuki!?" Danny demanded to know.

"I needed a new caretaker for my garden." Undergrowth explained as he signaled to Yuki. "She resembled the former one only in appearance. But with a little sprucing up, she will do just fine."

"Why don't you join us?" the Plant Yuki asked.

"Ha! Like I'd ever join you," Danny objected, "No way your mind-control vines will affect me."

"We have a better suggestion for you flesh walkers." Plant Yuki snaps her fingers.

The vines drop Danny who falls into a giant pod that seals him up. Only his head sticks out. Danny struggles to get out, but cannot. "What is this?" he wondered when he starts to become weary, "Feeling so weak…" Danny reverts to human form.

"Not only do your bodies require our nourishment, but we found proper use for them," Plant Yuki explained.

The Nicktoons watch as another pod forms beside Danny and opens up. Vines and flowers grows from the pod and morph into a tall human appearance. With a bright light, everyone blocks his or her eyes only to find the plant has turned into Danny, who grins evilly.

"Whoa, now that's the most awesome thing I've ever seen," Tommy said, more impressed.

"It's still the grossest," Tammy almost gagged.

"Dad?" Darry asked, looking at the Danny copy beside the real but trapped Danny. The copy began to approach Darry and his friends. But SpongeTron immediately jumped in front of him. "Look out!" he warned as he turned his arm into a cannon and blasted the copy into pieces.

However, the copy regenerates like the Plant Yuki and reverts back to Danny's form. "That wasn't a nice thing to do," the Danny copy smirked. His eyes glow green as roots appear on his face and both his arms turn into Venus flytraps.

When they were about to snap at the Nicktoons, the flytraps suddenly became frozen and they see Tak holding his staff out. "Get out of here!" he warned to the kids. "Now!"

SpongeTron's arm turns into a machete and he began to cut through the plants to make a path down the hall for them to run away. "Over there! Hurry!" SpongeTron pointed. Darry led Tommy, Tammy, Crash, Junior, and Buster toward the pathway, but the vines grab a hold of Kida and Twitchy.

"Kida!" Darry cried out.

"Twitchy!" Crash and Junior cried out. The Danny copy, whose arms regenerated and turned into vines, wraps around Kida and Twitchy.

"Quick!" Junior shouted as he clung onto Darry. "Use your ice powers!"

"I..." Darry began saying nervously. "I..."

The Danny copy whips more vines toward them, but Jimmy cuts them off with the Goddard saw. "Darry, this is an order!" he yelled out, "Use your ice powers to stop the vines and get outta here!"

"I..." Darry still stammered as he backed away from the plants. "I...I CAN'T!"

"What?!" the kids chorused.

"What are you waiting for?" Tommy yelled impatiently, "Use your ice powers now!"

"That's what I've been trying to tell you," Darry snapped at him, "I don't have ice powers!"

"But...But..."Junior stammered in confusion. "Your dad does."

"Don't you get it?!" Darry shouted angrily. "I'm one-quarter ghost! I don't have all my dad's powers! I can't move things with my powers, I can't teleport where ever I want, I don't have super strength, I DON'T HAVE ICE POWERS! I'm NOTHING like my dad, ALRIGHT?!"

The kids look silently upon him, not knowing what to say. Jimmy looked a bit disappointed when Tak suddenly grabs and holds him in the air. "Tak, let go of me!" he yelled, but spots roots around Tak's face.

The Tak plant grins and puts Jimmy into another pod like Danny's and the other pod with the real Tak trapped inside. "Jimmy!" Tammy cried out while SpongeTron pushed her and everyone else down the hall.

"Go!" SpongeTron urged while another root grabbed Crash from behind and took him away.

"After them!" Undergrowth commanded his plant copies.

Darry, with SpongeTron, the Turner twins, Junior, and Buster remaining, head toward the exit. However, they find all the exits blocked with vines. "We're trapped!" Junior cried.

"Wrong. There's another way out of HQ," Darry said and heads to the opposite direction, but stops when Timmy is in front of them.

"Kids, Undergrowth is coming after you guys!" Timmy shouted in concern, "Follow me, but we have to hurry."

"Thanks Dad," Tommy said in relief until SpongeTron shoots Timmy with his cannon.

"SpongeTron!" Tammy yelled at him. "What are you doing?"

"That's not your father," SpongeTron pointed where a part of Timmy's face regenerated, revealing it to be another plant copy.

The plant shoots another vine towards Tammy, but Tommy quickly pushes her out of the way and is grabbed instead and dragged away. "Tommy!" Tammy cried when Darry grabbed her arm and runs past the Timmy copy.

They all run in the direction of the lab. SpongeTron aims at the top to blast off debris, hoping to block the way. "How did you know that wasn't our dad?" Tammy asked.

"My scanners are able to tell apart human DNA and plant DNA," SpongeTron explained, "The Yuki we saw was a plant, meaning she was kidnapped by Undergrowth and copied like the others."

"So she's okay." Darry said in relief.

"Not for long. The real bodies are being used like plant food while they're trapped in those plant pods. The longer they're in there, the more their bodies will weaken until there's nothing left."

"Then we have to help them," Tammy yelled out when two Venus flytraps grow out of the ground. Tammy screamed as the flytraps trap Junior and Buster in their mouths. "NO!" she cried out.

The flytrap slurped its tongue, but Junior forcibly moved the flytrap's mouth with his surprising strength. "No way you're gonna eat me!" Junior cried and jumps outta the way before the flytrap snaps its mouth shut.

Junior falls, but Tammy catches him in time. The remaining four head toward the lab only for the entrance to be shut and surrounded by more flytraps. Darry grabs hold of Tammy, Junior, and SpongeTron and phases them through the door. "I could've sworn I saw your dad freeze those flowers before." SpongeTron pointed out to Darry.

Darry glared at him when they entered the lab. "What are we doing here?" Tammy asked when Darry began dialing buttons on the computer.

"Undergrowth has us trapped on the inside," Darry explained when he pulls the switch. Behind him, the Neutronic Portal Machine lights up and creates a bright green portal. "Which means we only have one place to go in order to escape."

"But Darry..." Tammy tried to complain, but pounding was heard on the door as the plants try to break in.

"No time!" Darry shouted, typing a world for them to enter.

Suddenly, the lab shakes and everything shuts downs, turning black. "AAGGH! It's dark and scary!" Junior screamed in fear.

"Undergrowth must have cut off the power," Tammy guessed but trembled, "But with no power, that means..."

"Security grid offline." Vox announced before powering down.

Just then, a piercing blade made out of thorns managed to break through the door. Entering the lab was Jimmy whose thorny spike-like appendage is made from his right arm. "Your commander orders you to cease and surrender." the Jimmy copy spoke in a deadly voice.

Junior was about to walk toward Jimmy, but Tammy stops him. "You may look like our commander, but we don't obey you!" Darry objected.

"Resistance is futile. If you refuse to join us and our father, then perish." The Jimmy copy raises his left arm, which turned into the thorn blade like his other arm. SpongeTron looked sternly at him and morphed his right arm into a machine gun and triggered multiple shots at the plant Jimmy. However, the bullets didn't affect him as he walked toward the kids while regenerating.

"We need ice." Tammy pointed out. "It's the only thing that can stop the plants from growing."

"But the only one who can do that is Darry's daddy, but he was taken by the big plant meanie," Junior reminded.

"I think I know one person who has ice powers like my dad," Darry told, "But to do that, we have to activate that portal."

SpongeTron nods and opens his chest compartment to take out a wire. He plugs it into the mainframe that is able to power up the portal. "You guys go into the portal and find somewhere safe." SpongeTron instructed the three.

"What about you?" Darry asked.

SpongeTron answered by switching his gun to a beamsword. "I'll stall him, giving you guys the chance to escape."

"But you'd just end up like the others." Tammy mentioned.

SpongeTron just scoffed. "I'm a robot. I can't be used for plant food or be copied into a plant. Now go, quickly!"

Darry and Tammy were reluctant to leave their friend behind, but they grabbed a hold of Junior and left through the portal as SpongeTron deactivated it. The robot held up his beamsword and prepared to fight. "I'll stop the greenery!" He sliced through Jimmy's vines and grabbed a freeze ray off one of the tables and froze all of Jimmy's vines and plants. "Ha!" SpongeTron laughed. "Can't do anything now!"

"As a robot, you can't feel the temperature, can you?" Jimmy spoke with a smirk.

SpongeTron was confused until he noticed the ice around the plants began to drip and melt into water due to the hot weather coming from outside. "Uh oh." SpongeTron uttered as he dropped the freeze ray.

"Undergrowth has something special planned for you." Jimmy said as vines came from his arms and began to slither around SpongeTron's ankles and arms, reaching his head.

"No…NOOO!" SpongeTron yelled before Jimmy's vines pierce through his back and his mind became scrambled like computer data.

Meanwhile, in the Ghost Zone, Darry, Tammy, and Junior were sitting on a spot of floating land after having made their escape. "Okay, here's the plan…" Tammy said, drawing a diagram in the dirt. "Phase One: Contact a secret organization such as BTSO for help. Phase Two: Combine our efforts and technology to build a giant tank that freezes stuff. Phase Three: We barge into HQ and freeze Undergrowth and his plants with it so we can save Jimmy and the others."

Junior and Darry glance at her. "Good plan, Tammy," Darry put his hands together. "But there's a few problems we need to discuss. One: Our Recallers are out of power so we can't make contact. Two: We're trapped in the Ghost Zone with no technology or military force whatsoever. And finally, there's three of us up against Undergrowth and his infinite army of plants that look like our families and are sucking the life force out of our real ones."

"Well, what do you have in mind for a plan, oh smart leader?" Tammy sarcastically quipped.

"What CAN we do?" Darry asked, looking distraught. "Undergrowth won. Our families and friends are in trouble, and my dad, who has ghost powers, couldn't even beat him."

"You have ghost powers too, remember?" Tammy pointed out.

"Yeah…" Darry responded, looking away and rubbing the back of his head, "But not enough to stop him." He sighs, sitting on the floating rock. "We're doomed."

Junior looked bummed to see Darry down when he turns and spots something nearby. "Hey guys! Lookie there!" Tammy and Darry turn around to find a frozen wasteland. "It's a winter wonderland!" Junior jumped up and down.

"We're here," Darry realized and flew toward the land known as the Far Frozen. Tammy holds Junior's arm as they follow Darry by hopping on the floating rocks that form a path.

Soon, they reach the Far Frozen whose large blizzards are freezing the group who are traveling through the deep snow. "Why do we have to come here?" Tammy asked, holding her arms and shivering.

"My dad told me about this place when I was six." Darry explained, and didn't seem to be minding the cold too much. "If what he said is true, then there might be something here that can help us."

A gust of wind blew past them and Junior shivered. "I want some hot chocolate!" he cried.

"Oh sure!" Tammy angrily shouted. "Let's just ask a snow monster if one happens to come by!"

But then, they suddenly heard growling, and the winds began to die down to reveal they were surrounded by strange white-furred creatures. Tammy and Darry scream as they huddled together. Junior hid behind the two and asked, "Will they get me some hot chocolate?"

The strange furry creatures approached them with spears. "Intruders aren't allowed to enter our domain," one said.

"We didn't mean to." Darry spoke out. "We're lost. We're just trying to find some help."

"They must be lying." another one said as they all pointed their spears at them. "Let's punish them."

Tammy and Darry gulped with the pointed objects close to their faces. "Wait," a voice called. The creatures backed away, giving space to one of the same creatures, whose right arm and ears are made of ice, walk towards them.

"Who are these intruders of which you speak of." then he stopped and his eyes widen when he spots Darry. "Could it be? Has the Great One returned to our frozen realm?" Tammy and Junior look up to Darry, who grins nervously.

Afterwards, the three Nicktoons are welcomed in the Far Frozen and taken to a small cave. They are given warm blankets as Junior happily sips his hot chocolate. "Marshmallows, sir?" he asked, holding a tray with a bowl of the said marshmallows.

"Yes please!" Junior holds up his cup as the yeti dips marshmallows in his cocoa.

During this, Darry and Tammy explained everything to the leader of the Far Frozen, Frostbite. "I see, so you are the son of the legendary Great One," Frostbite exclaimed in awe. "It is an honor to meet the descendant of the hero of both worlds."

"Hey, no prob at all, Frostbite," Darry said reservedly. "But we need your help."

"Anything for you, Son of the Great One," Frostbite kneels down, "What brings you here for our services?"

"Undergrowth came into our world." Darry explained. "My dad and sister are in trouble. I need you to teach me how to use ice powers so I can go back and beat him."

Frostbite gasps. "Undergrowth? Impossible. How did he escape from his imprisonment?"

"What do you mean?" Tammy asked.

"It was many years ago when the Great One was this boy's age," Frostbite narrates, "Undergrowth returned once again to lay claim on the human realm. It took all the combined efforts of Team Phantom to finally defeat him. After the battle, what remained of Undergrowth was a mere seed."

Darry, who was sipping hot cocoa that the yeti offered, suddenly spits it out. "D-Did you say a seed?" Darry asked anxiously. "You mean, the seed was Undergrowth this whole time?"

"Correct. To prevent these events from happening again, the Great One preserved the seed to be kept away. If the seed was ever nourished, such as being planted in the dirt or watered, Undergrowth will awaken once again."

Darry began to look guilty, which was noticed by Tammy. "Do you know what seed he's talking about, Dar?"

"Nope," Darry answered with a nervous grin. "Not a clue."

"Strange," Frostbite thought out loud, "The Great One assured us that Undergrowth was hidden away and in good hands. The last time we met, he said he sealed it in a black box and was stored in a large facility which describes this HQ you informed me earlier."

Darry's eyes looked away as he shakily drinks his hot chocolate. "Yeah, coincidence right?"

But Tammy poured hot chocolate down his head, causing him to yelp at the sudden heat. "You mean YOU caused all of this to happen?!" Tammy screamed at him.

"I didn't mean for this to happen!" Darry hastily defended. "Kida was the one who dropped her lemonade on the seed. How was I supposed to know it would grow into a giant ghost plant?!" Then Darry lowered his head in sadness and spilled his hot chocolate on the ground. "And worst of all, I couldn't do anything about it." he turned to Frostbite. "That's why I need you to teach me how to use ice powers like my dad. It's the only way."

"Hmmm..." Frostbite examined him by looking at his arms, tongue, and eyes. "When the Great One received his powers, he was fused with the Ghost Zone's energy which provides ice abilities from our realm. You, however, only appear to harness certain abilities from the Ghost Zone, but lack other abilities, including ours."

Darry looked distraught again. "But...But you have to. I need ice powers to save everyone."

"I'm sorry, young one." Frostbite said with a sympathetic look. "But I'm afraid that it is not possible."

Darry shut his eyes tightly and turned away. "It's always like this. I can't do anything my dad can. I'm stuck being one-quarter ghost and now because of it, everyone I know is doomed. I'll never be great like him." He sat down on a box and covered his face. "I might as well just give up."

"Don't give up, Darry," Junior consoled, patting his lap, "You might not be as great as your dad, but I still think you're the greatest person ever, well, other than my daddy."

Darry is cheered up a bit, but mopes down. "Please Frostbite," Tammy pleaded, "Are you sure there is no other way?"

Frostbite thought about it. "Hmmm... there is a way." He walked over to the wall and opened a secret compartment. He pulled out a small box made of ice. Frostbite walked back to the three and opened it to show them that inside was a small ice crystal with a string attached to it. "This is a special artifact of my people." he explained. "The Ice Crystal."

"What a pretty rock." Junior said as he picked up the crystal and put it around his neck like a necklace. Suddenly, the crystal began to glow and beams of ice shot out of Junior's hands. It ricocheted off the walls and hit a couple of Frostbite's people, freezing them in ice. "Oops," Junior sheepishly said as he took off the crystal and put it back in the box.

Darry stared at the crystal in astonishment. "Does...Does that do what I think it does?"

"Correct," Frostbite explained. "It grants whoever wears it the power of our people."

"So..." Darry said as he grabbed the crystal and hung it into view. "I can have ice powers!"

"Yes, but only as long as you're wearing it. Once it's gone, your powers will immediately diminish."

"Gnarly!" Darry shouted in excitement, putting the crystal it around his neck. "Undergrowth, you're going down!" Suddenly, ice beams shot out from his eyes and froze more of Frostbite's people, who were thawing the others out.

"But first off, you need practice," Frostbite offered.
