Part 1

It was a bright sunny day in Amity Park, but that didn't mean ghosts still didn't invade the town from time to time. On the streets was Darry Fenton riding his hoverboard home as he hummed to himself until a green beam shot at his board, knocking him to the ground with a hard fall. He looked up from the ground and saw the green ecto-puss hovering above him, laughing at the minor destruction it caused. Darry gasped and covered his eyes since he did not have any way to defend himself.

But before it can attack the normal teen, a purple ecto-beam nearly shot its head off. The ghost turned and recognized a floating girl in a white and black sleeveless dress with black gloves and boots and a YP symbol in the middle. She has white hair and wore a purple visor over her glowing purple eyes. It was the ghosts' number two nemesis (other than the original ghost child) Yuki Phantom. "Hey Slime-Puss!" the ghost girl yelled, "Back off!"

The ecto-puss screeches loudly until Yuki flew forward and grabbed the ghost by its tentacles, swinging it around and around until she tossed it on the ground with a thud. She then delivers one final blow with a diving kick to the head until she reaches behind her back and pulls out the Fenton Thermos, sucking the ecto-puss inside. "Another one bites the dust." she said with a grin as she spun the thermos on her finger.

Her brother, Darry, ran over to her and said in an excited tone, "Yuki, that was gnarly! You totally kicked the ghost's butt!"

Yuki lands on the sidewalk and reverts to human form, saying "Thanks, but wait til our own butts get kicked if Dad sees us miss curfew again."

"Whatever, let's go." Darry hops on his hoverboard along with Yuki who hold onto her brother as they hover away.

Unknown to them, they are being watched from high tech binoculars by a mysterious being. "So that's the new heroine of Amity Park," he said to himself, "Just the girl I'm looking for..."

Later that evening, Yuki phased through the front door while Darry opened the front door and walked in. "Dad!" Darry hollered through the room. "We're back!"

Danny was at the kitchen table, working on a Fenton gadget when he spots his two children in the hallway. He looks at his watch saying, "You two were almost late."

"Darry almost got his butt kicked by ghosts," Yuki explained, much to her brother's dismay, "So I had to go ghost and give him a hand."

Darry sighed, "How is it you were born with the ghost powers and I wasn't?" He frowns when he goes upstairs, "If anyone needs me, I'll be playing SpaceCraft with J.T. upstairs." Danny and Yuki watch him go to his bedroom.

Danny looks at Yuki and asked, "So how was patrol in Amity Park?"

"Oh the usual," Yuki said casually, "The Box Ghost haunting boxes, Technus trying to process technology, and Spectra..." she opened her eyes and gasped to see a stranger in a black mask sneak up from behind Danny, "Dad, look out!"

Danny turned and before the stranger could make a move, Danny grabbed his arm and flipped him on top of the table and pins him there. "Who are you? What are you doing here?!" Danny demanded to know. The stranger said nothing, but breaks free from his grip and takes out a concealed knife that sparks with electricity. "So that's what you want then? Fine." Danny changes to ghost form, ready to battle the black figure.

"Daddy!" Yuki called out, and without hesitation, she changes into ghost form and fires a purple ecto-beam, knocking the electric knife from his hand, much to the stranger's surprise.

Then all of a sudden, Yuki flew forward and punched the figure in the face before Danny could even have a go at him. "No one messes with my family and gets away with it so long as I'm Yuki Phantom!" she shouted, hovering over the fallen stranger.

Having given up, the stranger removed his mask revealing himself as a man with blue eyes and swirly brown hair. He had a worn out look as he groaned, "That didn't go as well as I anticipated."

"Jimmy Neutron?" Danny recognized in surprise as he gives Jimmy a hand to get up.

"That would be correct," Jimmy stated, "Seems you and I are both a little rusty when it comes to confrontational situations like this." He leans down and smiles, "Yuki Phantom, it's a pleasure to meet you. You look like someone I knew a long time ago." He smirks at Danny, "Makes me guess who the mother is."

"You...know about me?" Yuki asked, "And my powers?"

"Of course," Jimmy nodded, "You're a hero in this town. Not much a surprise for being Danny's little girl. Seeing how you managed to beat me, congrats. You passed the test."

"The test?"

"To join the Nicktoons," Jimmy responded, "The same team that Danny and I were in."

The next day, Danny and Yuki are at the front door of Nicktoon HQ invited by Jimmy Neutron. "Yuki, are you sure about this?" Danny asked. "You barely begun to control your powers and I don't think you can be in a team much more experienced than you.

"Come on Daddy, it's been a few months since I developed my ghost powers and Jimmy said I had potential," Yuki crossed her arms, "If you were on a cool team when you were my age, I can too."

"I was two years older than you when I was a Nicktoon and that's not the point." Danny said in a serious tone. "Out there are much more dangerous threats than anything that can be encountered in Amity Park. There's a much bigger chance that you or anyone can get seriously hurt. If Darry had ghost powers instead, that'd be a maybe, but you, I think you might be too young."

"Relax, Fenton," Jimmy assured as he led them inside the labs of HQ, "I'm gonna put Yuks into a batch of new recruits I'm gathering. I've prepared a training ground for them to see if they're compatible as a team. They won't be on the big missions yet."

Danny still looked unconvinced by the whole thing as he glanced at Yuki, who had an earnest expression on her face. "Wow, a whole team of superheroes like me. I wonder what they're like."

Suddenly, something rocketed over their heads as they look to see a rocket jetsled move around HQ uncontrollably with two riders onboard. The three duck down to avoid the rocket flying across the room, until it crashes across the table, knocking down a bunch of glass and equipment. They all stare at the sight and hear a high-pitched southern voice say, "Tarnation..." a yellow sponge wearing an orange jumpsuit and red crash helmet slowly stands up. "I wreckin' that entrance was surely one for them books!" he cheers as a squirrel had brown fur, spiky hair, freckles, wearing a red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls stood up as well, giggling with a twitchy eye.

They turn to see SpongeBob standing with a stern look, holding a little sponge's hand. "Crash, Twitchy, I told you not to ride that rocketboard in here!" SpongeBob angrily told the reckless sponge and hyper squirrel.

"Awe shoot!" the dare-devil sponge, Crash, responded, still with excitement in his tone. "I just wanted to make my grand entrance thrillin'!"

"Oh right," Jimmy said as he turned to Danny with a smile. "I forgot to mention that I didn't just invite you here."

Danny realizes who the adult sponge was. "SpongeBob? SpongeBob SquarePants?"

"Danny Fenton!" SpongeBob greeted with a smile as he hugged his old friend. "It's been so long."

"Um, who is that?" Yuki asked, perplexed of who the strange sea creature was. "And why is that cheese talking?"

"Yuki, this is SpongeBob SquarePants," Jimmy explained, "Part of the original team and a close friend of Danny's. He's from an underwater world where sea creatures can talk and do what humans do."

"Except we wrestle clams, board down sand mountain, and do extreme jellyfishin'!" Crash said, as he flopped on the ground and imitated a headlock.

"So this is your little girl, Danny?" SpongeBob asked, seeing Yuki. "She's adorable."

"Yup," Danny nodded, "That's Yuki."

"So you were best friends with my dad?" Yuki asked, shaking SpongeBob's hand.

"That's right." SpongeBob excitedly explained. "We used to do all sorts of things together, like eat at the Krusty Krab, jellyfish, hunt ghosts, share secrets. I remember one time we made a bet and he ended up having to-"

"Uh, SpongeBob?" Danny quickly interrupted. "Let's save those stories for later."

"Howdy Yuki." Crash greeted as he cartwheeled in front of Yuki. "I'm Crash, and these are my brothers, Twitchy and Junior."

"They are gonna be new recruits and part of your team," Jimmy explained.

"Wait, what?" Yuki said surprised, seeing the sponges and squirrel who'll join her team. She looks disturbed as Junior cuddles his jellyfish doll, Twitchy guzzles down a can of soda, and Crash saluting until he noticed his helmet catching on fire so he grabs Twitchy's can and douses it out with soda.

As if things couldn't get any weirder, they suddenly hear a cry and look ahead to see a little girl hiding behind him, who had green eyes, long brown hair in pigtails and a daisy on her head, lavender face paint over her eyes, a yellow top and brown skirt crying as she ran forward and hid behind Jimmy's legs.

"That boy is being mean to me!" Kida cried as she held Jimmy. "He's trying to take my staff!"

"Oh come on!" a teenage boy with red hair, pink eyes, and a dark blue baby rat, that strangely had violet eyes and a goatee, sitting on his shoulder; shouted as he approached the group. "I just wanted to see it!"

"Mickey," Jimmy said sternly as he wagged his finger. "What did I tell you about respecting one's personal belongings, especially my lab equipment?"

Mickey suddenly got an innocent grin as he responded, "Gee, I'm sorry, Commander Neutron. I just wanted to get to know my new friends."

As Kida still glared at the teen from behind Jimmy's legs, Danny stared at Jimmy oddly, "I don't suppose they are someone I should know."

"Oh yes," Jimmy said, pushing Kida forward. "This is Tak's daughter, Kida, and that's Timmy's nephew, Mickey. They will be a part of the new Nicktoons team as well." but then he grew a sad frown as he explained, "But unfortunately, they couldn't be here to join us today."

"Oh...that's too bad," Danny frowned, wanting to meet his two teammates again. But then, Danny wonders, "Wait, shouldn't Turner have kids of his own by now? How does he even have a nephew anyway?"

"Uhh, well..." Jimmy tried to explain until he was interrupted by Yuki.

"Hey Commander?" she began quietly asking, "Are you sure this is the team I'm gonna be on?"

"Of course," Jimmy said, "After all, they're new trainees just like you."

"Train? I love trains!" Junior shouted happily. "I love trains that go really fast! I have a toy train I play with at home!"

Yuki rolled her eyes at this until Jimmy explains, "Any doubts you have will have to deteriorate over time. Because the first part of training to be a Nicktoon is to be compatible with your teammates. The first rule of teamwork: Without each other, there is no team."

"YAAAY!" Crash, Twitchy, and Junior all cheer loudly while Yuki winces from their loudness. Mickey just smirks and Kida simply smiles and salutes.

"Now to start your training," Jimmy began, "First off, we-" Suddenly, a large alarm alerts Jimmy as red light flashes over them. Jimmy runs to a supercomputer at the center. "Leapin' Leptons, it's Calamitous," Jimmy said when a screen shows up revealing a large robot terrorizing Retroville. As everyone saw the robot causing panic, Jimmy sighs. "Looks like we have to cancel the team's session."

"Aww...why can't we all join you guys?" Crash asked, "I bet we can kick that guy's tin can harder than a rhino chargin' though!"

"No offense, kid...sponge." Yuki pointed out. "But I think I'm better at handling this kind of stuff. I do have ghost powers and am in perfect control."

"It's too dangerous, sweetie." Danny said. "I want you to go back home. I'll meet you there in a couple hours."

"Danny, maybe Yuki can stay here," Jimmy suggested, "She and Mickey can look after Kida and the boys. Besides, HQ is one of the safest places in Retroville."

"Well...I suppose it would be alright." Danny somewhat reluctantly agreed. "But don't go anywhere else, alright Yuki? And don't touch anything."

"Yes Dad." Yuki said with a nod. "I'm totally responsible."

"Okay," Danny nodded and looks at her teammates, "That goes the same for you guys."

"He's right," Jimmy said seriously, "This may be a haven, but inside there are dangerous and hidden stuff. I don't want any of you to look into it." He pushes a button on his watch to release a portal. As the portal opens, Jimmy takes out his Tornado Blaster. "Nicktoons, Unite!" The three go into the portal, but once it disappears, Mickey turns away from his teammates and gains an evil smirk and quiet chuckle as he looks at his pet rat, who smirks back at him.

Later on, Yuki was casually walking down the aisles with Crash, Junior, Twitchy, Kida, and Mickey following. "This is great!" Junior cheered, hugging his jellyfish doll. "We're gonna be heroes like my daddy. We're gonna have so much fun! We can play all the time, tell each other secrets, and sleep over at each other's houses!"

"You wish, runt!" Mickey snapped. "That's baby stuff. We're supposed to be a team of powerful beings and instead I'm stuck with all of you, and the first assignment is babysitting you crybabies."

"Hey!" Twitchy yelled while eating a large cookie. "We'renotbabies!"

"And we're super powerful beins!" Crash pointed out. "I once jumped into eel-infested waters and LIVED!"

"Oh yeah?" Mickey replied until he pointed at Yuki. "Do you have actual superpowers like her?"

Yuki seemed a bit embarrassed until Kida curiously asks, "You have superpowers?"

"Well yeah," Yuki admitted, "My dad is Danny Phantom so I inherited his powers when I was born. He and Mom were surprised cuz they thought my older brother would be the one with the powers."

"Yee-haw!" Crash shouted excitedly. "My pa told me stories about your pappy. He's one of the greatest heroes of all time!"

"I still think our daddy is better." Junior meekly mentioned.

"What about you, Kida?" Twitchy asked her.

"My dad, Tak, is the mystical shaman of the Pupununu Tribe," Kida explained twirling her staff, "I'm also a shaman-in-training, but since my powers are hard to control, Daddy gave me this neat staff to help channel my magic."

"Oh please," Mickey scoffed cruelly, "That's just a rattle for a baby. Any real hero doesn't need something to keep themselves in control."

"Okay Mr. Big Shot, what powers do you have that convinced Jimmy to make you a Cadet?" Yuki crossed her arms.

"That would be me." the rat spoke in a British accent, which caused the others to stare in surprise, until it suddenly turned into the cubed-shaped fairy baby, Foop.

"Meet my scary godparent, Foop." Mickey said with a smirk. "He gives me whatever I want, and that includes anything I want to make anyone miserable and kick anyone's butt."

"Ooh, he looks nice." Junior said with a smile. "Can he make rainbows and smiles like the fairies in my storybooks?"

Foop and Mickey stare at him oddly until the teen says, "Sure, he can make smiles. Watch." he whispers something to Foop, and then the anti-fairy raises his glowing bottle which makes a paper shredder appear next to Junior, and his jellyfish doll floats out of his arms and drops into the shredder, tearing to pieces. Junior gathers the remains of his jellyfish doll, when tears burst of his eyes and he runs out screaming.

"Junior!" Twitchy cried out and glared at Mickey, "You said that cube thing makes people smile!"

Foop and Mickey laugh as the latter says, "I'm smiling. See?"

Twitchy and Crash look at each other and run off to find their brother, "Junior, come back!" Crash yelled out.

Yuki sighs, "Guess I better see if he's alright." She runs off after them leaving Kida and Mickey.

"Hey, wait for me!" Kida yelled out and follows, leaving Mickey and Foop the only ones in the room.

"Excellent timing, Michael" Foop said, rubbing his hands together, "Now that we got rid of those idiots, it's time we do a little savaging of our own." Mickey smirked as he and Foop laugh maniacally which summons lightning for no apparent reason.

Somewhere in HQ, Crash, Twitchy, Kida, and Yuki were searching for Junior. "Junior!" Yuki called out.

"Junior! Junior! Junior!" Twitchy said zooming past them as he searching everywhere with his hyperactive speed.

"Daggummit," Crash shouted in anger. "He can be anywhere is this lab of science. All because of that evil red-head and his floaty rat."

"Come on, Crash. He may be mean, but he can't be that evil," Yuki said and called once again, "Junior!"

"Guys!" Kida called from behind the corner, "I found him!"

Junior was sitting behind a large machine piling the pieces of his favorite toy together. "Don't worry, Mr. Jelly, you'll be okay." he said with a weak smile, obviously not being able to fix his doll.

"Junior, there you are!" Twitchy said with a smile as he hugged his younger brother. "Wethoughtyouwerelost!"

But Junior stood up and cried, "I wanna go home."

"Sorry Junior, but y'all have to wait," Crash said, "Daddy's with the Commander and Yuki's dad to stop 'em evil Syndicate."

"But everyone here is so mean!" Junior cried out, dropping the stitches and stuffing of his jellyfish doll. "Look what he did to Mr. Jelly!"

"It's okay, Junior, we can play games with you," Yuki said leaning towards him.

Junior began to calm down a bit as he smiled. "Really?" he asked with a sniffle.

"Uh huh," Yuki said with a nod, changing into ghost form, and touched Junior's arm. "Tag, you're it." she said before phasing into the ground.

"Hey," Junior said with a smile, swinging his hands out to grab her, but she was already gone. Deciding to play along, Crash, Twitchy, and Kida run away while laughing as the now happy Junior chases after them.

In another part of the lab, Mickey and Foop were wandering around, looking through all the inventions to see if they can find anything dangerous. "Lame," Mickey said, looking at various inventions and tossing them over his shoulder. "Crud...Junk...Lame again...more junk..." he threw his arms up in frustration, "There's nothing cool here that be used for danger!"

"Oh Michael," Foop said, from in front of a door. "Come take a look at this." Mickey boredly walks over and sees a door with large letters in front 'Top Secret. Project ST'.

"Now that's something that sounds dangerous." Mickey said in excitement when he tries to open the door, but couldn't. "It's locked. Foop, I wish you would open this door now!"

"Fine." Foop said, rolling his eyes, as he muttered, "He's more demanding than my last godchild..." He holds up his bottle as it glows and zaps the lock on the door which whirs around and automatically opens.

Mickey eagerly runs down into the room and finds wall-to-wall columns of small freezing chambers, each containing something inside. He walks over to the fog-covered tube and reads the inscription on it. "'ST-001'...Lame." and walks away in disinterest. He walks deeper into the room and looks at one of the other tubes and reads the inscription on it. "'ST-911'...now that's more like it. That's a lot better than 1."

"Shall we wake up him?" Foop asked eagerly.

"Definitely!" Mickey said noticing a hand-scanner next to the chamber. "This outta do the trick!" he places his hand on the scanner to activate.

However, once the scanner analyzes his hand the computer voice announced, "DNA match denied. Cannot open chamber without proper match of foreign substance."

"What!?" Foop pushed Mickey away and tries to scan his hand.

"DNA match denied," the voice once again announced.

"Hmm..." Foop wondered, "Looks like Neutron has this place tightly secured. We need to find some DNA that will release the ST-Units."

"This thing here says it needs DNA of an otherworldy foreign substance," Mickey mentioned, "What the heck does that mean?"

"Judging by the word 'foreign substance', it must pertain to something uncommon, like the DNA of an otherworldly being." Foop calculated. "Perhaps someone Neutron used to know."

"You mean other than that weird sea creature, there's also that ghost." Mickey pondered. "Hmm...that ghost..."

Looks like Mickey and Foop are plotting something dastardly. Not something a Nicktoon should be doing. Please review and stick around for Part 2.
