"Well at least we tried" Doofenshmirtz said as he slumped back onto the homemade bed.
He had failed to pick the lock and escapes as planned. This caused both him and Isabella to start doubting that this would be easier than anticipated. While Doofenshmirtz decided to get some rest Isabella decided now was the time to sort out her emotions and determine what she would do after this is all over. The room was bathed in silence as each person went about their own business.
(The Group)
"Ok everyone we have about a mile to go and we will be at the cave" Phineas proclaimed after checking the tracker
"Hey dinner bell shouldn't we get out of this rain and wait for it to stop?" Buford Said as he started ringing out his wet clothes.
The rain had started suddenly and caught everyone off guard. The kids had been walking for about two miles when the rain started. It wasn't the rain they disliked it was the fact that the once solid ground beneath their feet was now slippery and muddy. This only made it harder for them to walk and also caused them to expend more energy than they really could afford especially moving up hill.
"Sorry guys but we lost a lot of time yesterday and we really need to make that up today. Besides we are so close if we stopped now than it would be like surrendering. Doofenshmirtz has to know we are here by now so we can't stop" Phineas said all this while forcing himself forward
The group, although tired, knew he was right and trudged on through the storm. They were tired but now determined.
(Doofenshmirtz cave)
"Are you ready?" Doofenshmirtz asked as he started putting the chains back onto Baljeet.
Yes. Are you sure that Phineas will come for you? What if they break Isabella and the other out and then run?" Baljeet asked as Doofenshmirtz locked the chains on leaving enough slack so Baljeet could move with limited resistance.
"He'll come for me" Doofenshmirtz said as he got up and entered the room in front of Baljeet.
"How are you so sure?" Baljeet still had an obvious tremor in his voice because they were relying completely on faith that he would come to them.
"I kidnapped his girlfriend and used him to cause harm to her. Trust me when I say he will seek me out and when he does WE will make him pay" Doofenshmirtz pressed a button and all Baljeet could hear was metal being shifted and assembled
"So what am I supposed to do again?" Baljeet just kept talking to pass the time and make sure he had everything down
"When he shows up I need you to start acting like he is your saviour. After you praise him he will ask where Isabella is and that is when I need you to really act. You see you will tell him that I killed her after she attempted an escape but before you say that you will tell him that she revealed she had feelings for you" Baljeet realized the room went quiet and then realized what the doctor had said
"Why do I tell him she had feelings for me?" Baljeet was confused
"Because then he will not only be full of sadness but jealousy towards you. He won't take it out on you of course but rather he will want to unleash his fury on me. His heart will be torn and it will be so easy for me to gain the upper hand and while he is suffering on the inside I will cause him physical pain on the outside. After a while he will be totally defeated and that is when I will end his life like he will beg of me" Doofenshmirtz emerged from the room in his new suit.
It only covered his upper half and the length of his arms. It had metallic looking gloves attached to the arms allowing the whole upper half to be protected but left him exposed from the waist down. Baljeet also noticed the suit was covered in dents from not being fine-tuned like it should have been. On top of that he didn't notice any compartment for the fuel cells to be housed.
"Where is the power source for that?" Baljeet again looked over the suit to try and find any area he might have over looked but couldn't find a single area.
"Right here" Doofenshmirtz began tapping the spot directly over his right rib cage.
"What about movement? It looks bulky" Baljeet was starting to annoy Doofenshmirtz with all his questions.
"JUST TRUST ME OK! I KNOW…" an alarm cut them off and Baljeet saw Doofenshmirtz smile.
"It's about to begin" Doofenshmirtz said with a smile as he threw Baljeet to the floor.
(Mouth of the cave)
"Alright guys we're here. You all know what to do. Ferb?" Phineas looked at his brother who had just finished rewiring the tracker. Ferb just gave a thumb up and grabbed Perry before departing. This left Buford and Phineas to go after Doofenshmirtz, which the tracker told them was straight ahead down a long hall way.
Phineas lead the way down the hall with Buford close behind. Buford had been silenced a few times when he tried to talk and soon figured out why. Phineas wanted to have as much surprise as he could and with him talking he would give away their position. He soon quieted. Soon they came to an open door and when Phineas peered inside Buford saw the shock in Phineas's eyes. Phineas entered the room and motioned for Buford to follow. Once inside the room Buford saw what shocked Phineas.
The far wall had screens and each screen displayed a different location outside the cave, inside and even around Danville. Doofenshmirtz had been watching them all this time and they had no idea. Shock was soon replaced with a great idea and Phineas was quickly typing on the keyboard.
"What are you doing?" Buford asked as he was watching the door in case anyone entered.
"I'm going to use the cameras in this cave to try and find Doofenshmirtz. Hopefully he is somewhere that is in range of a camera. Then we plan our attack" Phineas was typing madly.
Soon the screens all flashed to different areas of the cave. Many of these areas were deserted. Soon Phineas found Ferb and Perry down a hallway of their own. He also found Isabella and the other Doofenshmirtz, he recognized him by the lab coat, sitting in a room. Isabella was tied up and Doofenshmirtz seemed to be chained to the wall. He also noticed something around Doofenshmirtz's waist and was wondering what it was when Buford yanked him away and pointed to a screen in the top right.
"I FOUND EM" Buford sounded excited as though he won a contest of some sort
Phineas studied the screen and was pleased with the location. Doofenshmirtz had Baljeet on the floor in the middle of a large room. There was basically no furniture besides a chair and table pushed against the wall. He also noticed Doofenshmirtz wearing a worn down suit. He wasn't sure how powerful it was but with both him and Buford they should be able to take him. Phineas quickly grabbed Buford and took off for the location on the screen. Doofenshmirtz knew they were here but he was still hoping to that they could get this over with quick.
(Ferb and Perry)
"It says she's just down the hall" Ferb said and then took off with Perry hot in pursuit.
They reached the door a few minutes later and Ferb quickly called out for Isabella.
"ISABELLA ARE YOU IN THEIR?" Ferb called
"FERB! WE'RE IN HERE!" Isabella responded
"WE?" Ferb called back
"ME AND THE GOOD DOOFENSHMIRTZ" Isabella replied
"OK STAND BACK WE ARE COMING IN" Ferb got to work.
"WE?" Isabella called but got no response. All she heard was the sound of a tool of some sort.
"I hope they hurry" Isabella whispered under her breath
"They'll get us out of here and then we can all go home" Doofenshmirtz tried to reassure her.
She smiled at him to show she was grateful for his support.
(Phineas and Buford)
They just reached the room Doofenshmirtz was in when they stopped. Phineas tried to peek around the corner and survey the room closer up.
"Come out kid. I see you" Doofenshmirtz called when he caught Phineas peek around the corner.
Phineas didn't move and he just motioned for Buford to be quiet. Hoping to make him think he was seeing things.
"Come out or I kill your friend here" Doofenshmirtz kicked Baljeet to the ground which caused him to cry out.
After a glance between the two they finally decided they couldn't risk Baljeet's life. Phineas stepped out followed by Buford and together they entered the room.
"Now isn't this more comfy? All of us in the same room" Doofenshmirtz was smiling.
"Phineas you have to get out of here" Baljeet pleaded
I'm not leaving without you and Isabella" Phineas said
Baljeet was about to start his lie about Isabella being dead when he heard Phineas continuing.
"Besides I know where she is thanks to your security cameras" Phineas smirked at Doofenshmirtz who growled back.
Baljeet was mentally clapping himself on the back for not saying Isabella was dead because Phineas would have realized he was lying. However he could still mess with him and convince him to get Buford out of here. He planned to tell Phineas to send Buford away and free him and the two of them could fight Doofenshmirtz. It would be a two on one handicap but not in Phineas's favor.
"Phineas listen to me. Ferb and Perry are going to need help. Doofenshmirtz had planned for you guys to split up. Send Buford to help them and I'll stay here and help you" Baljeet was just begging that Doofenshmirtz would catch on.
Doofenshmirtz did catch on. At first he was a little taken aback that Baljeet had abandoned the original plan but soon remembered why. In response he had to make it look like Baljeet was telling the truth and so kicked him to the ground fairly hard.
"SHUT UP KID!" Doofenshmirtz yelled.
Phineas saw this and decided Baljeet was being truthful, I mean why would Baljeet lie to him.
"Buford go back and help Ferb and Perry. Me and Baljeet will take care of Doofenshmirtz" Phineas ordered as he took a step forward and withdrew his sound cannon.
Buford stood there a few seconds longer before turning and running back down the hall hoping he wasn't too late. This left Baljeet, Doofenshmirtz and Phineas alone.
"I guess the party can start now. It's a shame yo…" Doofenshmirtz was stopped as Phineas pulled the trigger and sent a sound wave flying at him. Doofenshmirtz didn`t even have time to block as the wave hit him and sent him flying back into the wall.
Phineas was pleased that his attack hit and quickly ran up to Baljeet. Surprisingly he found out Baljeet was only tied down with regular rope rather than chains like Doofenshmirtz. Phineas quickly untied Baljeet and tucked him behind himself and started to make some distance from Doofenshmirtz as he recovered.
Doofenshmirtz stood up after a few second and looked furious.
"Baljeet where is his power source?" Phineas asked quickly
"It's secured in his left arm. Why?" Baljeet feigned fear
"Because this blast will knock out electrical equipment as well and should shut that suit down" Phineas started taking aim.
"Oh no you don't" Doofenshmirtz started to run
(Ferb and Perry)
It's no use. This tool of mine can cut into the door but it's too thick for my tool to go all the way through. We need a new plan" Ferb put his tool back and started to think
"OUTTA THE WAY FERB!"
Ferb and Perry turned to see Buford running in their direction just before he leapt into the air. Shocked they almost forgot to move but thankfully they did as Buford threw all his might into his punch and slammed his fist into the door. When he removed his fist they saw an impression in the middle of the door. Ferb smiled.
"Keep going. Sooner or later you'll punch right through that door" Ferb encouraged
Buford smiled and began punching the door with everything he had.
(Phineas)
Doofenshmirtz had started making erratic movements to avoid the onslaught of the attack. He dodged the first few shot but finally Phineas connected with his left shoulder sending him sliding back a few feet. He smiled when he saw the look on Phineas's face.
"Baljeet it's not working" Phineas aimed another shot
"I don't know, maybe he reinforced it and didn't tell me. Keep trying" Baljeet pleaded
A few shots later Doofenshmirtz got his first offensive move in. He had gotten close enough to grab Phineas by the hem of his shirt. He threw him against the far wall and smiled even wider when he saw the gun leave his hands. Doofenshmirtz was now throwing Phineas around like he was a baseball.
Phineas was getting weaker with each strike that connected. Doofenshmirtz had him backing away when he bumped into something. He turned quick and found the chair. He quickly grabbed it and swung it with all his might at Doofenshmirtz hoping to immobilize him long enough to run and get his weapon back. Unfortunately Doofenshmirtz was ready and with a whip of his hand the chair exploded into pieces. Phineas used this chance to sneak between the doctors legs and make a run for his weapons until he felt resistance grab the back of his shirt. He didn't even get to turn around when Doofenshmirtz lifted him in the air and slammed him face down on the table.
Doofenshmirtz was pleased with how well things were going even if his original plan failed to make Phineas miserable he planned to do that physically. He flipped Phineas over and as he stared into the groggy eyes of his rival he started slamming his fists into Phineas's chest.
Phineas started coughing up blood.
"Baljeet…please help" Phineas pleaded
Baljeet just stood there staring.
(Buford and the rest)
"Almost there Buford" Ferb said as the door was shaking more and more with each punch
"AHHHH" Buford threw a huge right hand and sent the door toppling inward slamming into the floor.
Ferb, Perry and Buford rushed in. Ferb and Perry ready for anything but Buford was calmer because he already knew who was inside.
"FERB, BUFORD" Isabella shrieked with glee when she saw her friends
"PERRY THE PLATYPUS" Doofenshmirtz squealed, a little more girly then he meant too.
"Hold on Isabella. We'll have you out of there in a second" Buford said as Ferb started using his handy tool to cut the fabric finally freeing her. Perry ran over to Doofenshmirtz and used his mini saw to cut the chain off his leg and freeing him.
Isabella jumped up and grabbed Ferb in a hug and then grabbing Buford for a hug. She went to give Perry a hug and then saw that Doofenshmirtz already beat her to it. Then she realized Phineas wasn't with them.
"WHERE'S PHINEAS?" She panicked and started looking frantically.
"Easy Isabella. He's fighting Doofenshmirtz right now" Buford said
"You left him alone" Ferb looked at Buford with complete disbelief.
"No way. I ain't that stupid. Baljeet was there and he told me to come help you guys. He and Phineas are fighting him right now" Buford seemed pleased to show them he wasn't that stupid
Ferb was relieved when he heard that Phineas had Baljeet backing him up. Although Baljeet lacked physical strength his genius mind would come in handy trying to find any weakness in Doofenshmirtz. Ferb was about to say something when he saw the frightened look in Isabella's eyes.
"Isabella what's wrong?" Ferb asked concerned
"You left him with Baljeet?" Isabella turned to Buford, this time with rage in her eyes
"Yeah. What did I do wrong?" Buford was now backing away
"You STUPID…IDEOT…JERK" Isabella started walking towards him when she felt someone grab her arm
"WHAT!?" Isabella turned to see Ferb
"What is wrong?" Ferb asked again
"BALJEET IS WORKING FOR DOOFENSHMIRTZ" She practically screamed
Everyone got a worried expression on their faces before abruptly turning on their heels and rushing out of the room. The sounds of battle in the distance getting louder as they got near.
(Phineas)
Phineas was now coughing up quite a bit of blood as he finally managed to dodge a punch. Doofenshmirtz had snapped the table in half and had continued to punish Phineas. Pieces of the table were lying around as Phineas kept looking at Baljeet for help who just stood there.
Phineas side rolled another punch and grabbed a sharp shard from the table and stabbed it into Doofenshmirtz's foot.
"AHHHHHHHHH" Doofenshmirtz screamed as he reached down and yanked the shard out of his foot.
Phineas had started a half jog half run for his weapon but was thrown to the ground by another quick punch from Doofenshmirtz. Phineas however rolled through and landed within arm's reach of his weapon. All he had to do was grab it, turn and fire it would take him a few seconds. He reached for it.
Suddenly it was yanked away from Phineas and when he looked up he got a shocked look on his face. Baljeet had yanked the weapon away and now had it pointed right at Phineas. Although it was meant to send opponents flying and destroy electrical equipment at this range there was no doubt in Phineas's mind that at this distance a shot would kill him.
Phineas finally broke down at the revelation that Baljeet was against him. After all the effort he put forth in rescuing him he was now going to kill him…How? Phineas felt even worse when he realised that the good Doofenshmirtz had suggested someone was working for him and yet he dismissed it without thought. Phineas now lay there with tears in his eyes awaiting the final shot. Baljeet began to pull the trigger and Phineas closed his eyes waiting for the shot to come.
"OH NO YOU DON'T" Buford broke in and made a dash at Baljeet who was caught off guard.
Buford aimed his punch at the weapon Baljeet was holding but Baljeet figured it out just in time to pull it out of the immediate path of Buford's fist. This caused Buford to make a sharp 180 and throw another punch. This time he connected but not with Baljeet.
Doofenshmirtz, afraid if he lost Baljeet and that weapon, thought he would easily lose this fight since he was out numbered. So instead of letting his partner and his upper hand get destroyed he made his move. He had to rely on his own leg strength but he made it just in time and threw himself between Buford and Baljeet taking the full force of the shot to his left chest.
Doofenshmirtz and Baljeet both slid back a few meters before coming to a stop. Doofenshmirtz smiled when He realized they were far enough away that Buford couldn't make a sudden move again and Phineas was still recovering.
"PHINEAS" everyone turned towards the door to see Isabella, Ferb and Perry standing there in shock.
Phineas just smiled when he saw Isabella but then got a concerned look on her face when he realized she was unarmed and could get hurt.
"Isabella get out of here" Phineas pleaded before succumbing to a coughing fit and coughing up blood onto the ground.
Isabella's hands shot to her mouth to try and stifle a cry when she saw this. She held back the urge to run to him because she realized how dangerous it was.
Phineas couldn't talk he was trying too hard to catch his breath.
"Common, one eye. Bring it" Buford was taunting Doofenshmirtz who took the bait.
Lunging at Buford, Doofenshmirtz forgot to check on Baljeet who was trying to aim. Now he was in the way and Baljeet was forced to wait for another opportunity. However Buford and Doofenshmirtz became better acquainted with each other. Both of them wanted to show how strong they were. Doofenshmirtz with his suit and Buford with his now gauntlets, as he now called them.
Doofenshmirtz threw the first punch and Buford ducked and slammed a fist into the right chest plate of the suit. This caused Doofenshmirtz to stumble back a few feet before throwing another punch. Buford was surprising everyone with his patience in waiting for Doofenshmirtz to attack and then side stepping followed by a hard punch into the suit. Doofenshmirtz realized he would lose at this rate and decided to try a new tactic.
Throwing a sloppy left he watched for the exact moment Buford side stepped. As soon as he saw Buford move he quickly turned on his heels and slammed his right fist into the skull of Buford. It was so quick Buford spin around and hit the ground quite hard. When he got up everyone gasped at what they saw.
Buford was now missing a few teeth on the right side of his face and he was also bleeding from his mouth quite profusely. Doofenshmirtz just smiled. Doofenshmirtz threw another sloppy left and again Buford side stepped allowing him to turn on his heels throwing another right to the same area of Buford's face. However Buford recognized Doofenshmirtz liked to repeat himself and threw up his arms and caught the attack. Once he caught Doofenshmirtz's hand he wrapped his left arm around it holding him in place. Doofenshmirtz started to struggle but for some reason could not get loose. Then he saw what Buford was doing and he started struggling even harder.
After Buford had pinned his arm his started winding up his fist and was delighted when he saw the terror in Doofenshmirtz's eye. Doof struggled but it was in vein as Buford threw his punch and slammed it into the chest plate. The metal on both Doofenshmirtz and Buford shattered causing sever lacerations to Buford's hand and causing Doofenshmirtz to fall back and to the ground. Everyone was speechless as reality set in. Buford had won.
Smiling Buford approached, the now immobile, Doofenshmirtz cracking his knuckles. Buford was just about to grab Doofenshmirtz when a wave came crashing through the air and slamming him into the wall. Buford slumped to the floor and looked up at Baljeet.
"You're….dead…..nerd" Buford spoke before passing out.
Baljeet was now breathing heavily as what he just did sunk into his head. It didn't take long though before he had the weapon trained on Phineas.
"Sorry Phineas…I hope you realize this was just how we were fated to end our friendship. Please forgive me" Baljeet began to pull the trigger.
"NOOOOOOOOO" Isabella screamed as her knees buckled and she hit the floor.
Baljeet smiled for a second as he pulled the trigger. All of a sudden the weapon was thrust into the air and the wave shot the ceiling causing quite a bit of rumble to fall onto the kids. Baljeet struggled to see who had thwarted him when he saw a fist fly through the smoke and land square between his eyes. Baljeet was out before he hit the floor.
"Well I wasn't about to lose my own brother" Ferb stated as he picked up the weapon and walked over to Phineas. Isabella soon joined them.
Isabella was asking many questions about Phineas's health to which he just brushed them off. Then they heard the laughing.
"You think you won?" Doofenshmirtz had gotten out of his suit and was now standing a few yards away.
Ferb trained the gun on him and Doofenshmirtz pulled two items out. One was a small switch and the other was the gun from his earlier battle with his other self.
"Drop it" He demanded as Ferb trained his own weapon on Doofenshmirtz
"Not before you" was all Ferb said
Time stood still as both men just stared with their eye(s) locked on the other. Ferb was a man of action and was just waiting for the slightest twitch of his finger before he pulled the trigger of his weapon. Doofenshmirtz was obviously thinking about his next move very carefully. Neither backed down for the next five minutes they stood perfectly still. Finally Doofenshmirtz spoke.
"I'll throw my gun down if you do the same. Let's talk and see if we can come to an agreement" Doofenshmirtz offered
"You first" Ferb didn't even flinch
"Fine" too the shock of everyone Doofenshmirtz threw his gun ten feet away.
Being a man of his word Ferb put his gun down too. Phineas, Ferb and Isabella realized they made a mistake when they saw the smile grow on Doofenshmirtz. Ferb made to pick up his weapon again but was too late.
"If you don't want to die with me you will stop right their" Doofenshmirtz called out as he held up the switch in his hand.
"This triggers the explosives I have set all around this place. You see I never planned to beat you here Phineas Flynn I didn't even care about that loser" Doofenshmirtz motioned towards Baljeet who was still out "I had always planned to beat you one on one. Just you and me" Doofenshmirtz started walking towards the suit that lay a few feet to his left. He never took his eye off the boys.
"Why would I agree to a fair fight against you of all people?" Phineas asked while pushing Ferb and Isabella behind him
"Because you have my word it will be fair. One on one. No gadgets or gizmos. Just you and me, the last one standing wins" Doofenshmirtz was searching through the suit and soon rose to his feet holding two fuel cells.
"I refuse. I know you'll cheat" Phineas spoke
"Oh I forgot to mention that if you refuse I will push this switch. This whole place will come crashing down and everyone inside will be killed. Now what do you say?" Doofenshmirtz smiled as he watched Phineas realize the severity of his situation. After a few minutes Phineas finally spoke.
"How can you guarantee it'll be fair?"
"Easy…We will fight it in a different dimension" Doofenshmirtz stated but didn't seem to convince Phineas
"Look I invented these wrist devices. Each one is a transporter in itself. However if two are on in the same dimension they do not work. Also if one or more is active in any dimension than no one can cross over to that dimension. This ensures I can't cross over an army and your friends can't save you. Once only one is active it can be used to transport the wearer anywhere they imagine. So all you would have to do is imagine your house and you would be transported their immediately. That is if you can beat me" Doofenshmirtz let all this sink in before smiling to show he was waiting for a response.
"How do you deactivate them?" Phineas asked. He could feel the glare Ferb was giving him and the shock Isabella had for even considering going along with this.
"They are powered by the wearer's heart. The only way to deactivate it is to kill me" Doofenshmirtz smiled
Phineas's eyes widened when he heard this and soon he returned to deep thought. He knew his answer even before Doofenshmirtz was done talking about how those wrist devices worked. He was just afraid to let anyone know.
"If I agree you will spare their lives?" Phineas was double checking
"I swear" Doofenshmirtz tossed a device at Phineas who caught it.
"Fine" Phineas took a step forward. Doofenshmirtz smiled.
"PHINEAS!" Isabella couldn't believe her ears. Phineas had just agreed to a death match. The prize was the world the fate of the loser was death. She no longer hid the tears that started flowing freely down her face.
"Izzy don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I'll get out of this alive you just have to believe in me" Phineas pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear
"But you could die…I can't live without you" Isabella pulled back to look into his eyes.
"You won't have too. Just believe in me and trust me to return. I promise I will return please wait for me. Give me some time" Phineas smiled as he pulled Isabella into a kiss. It lasted only a few seconds but it was enough to put her heart at ease.
"I'll give you all the time in the world" She smiled at him through tears.
"I love you Izzy" Phineas hugged her as he looked at Ferb who was showing a rare sign of emotion. He was crying and not trying to hide it.
"Ferb I want you to keep everyone safe for me…especially Isabella" Phineas started to walk towards the doctor who had inserted the fuel cells into the other dimensionator. He had pulled it out of the closet while they were talking.
"Why do you have to do this?" Isabella finally asked and was greeted with a smile
"Because I would gladly die to protect you" Phineas said as the other dimensionator was activated.
"I love you Izzy. I'll be back as soon as I can" Phineas jumped through the portal quickly followed by Doofenshmirtz.
"I LOVE YOU PHINEAS" Isabella cried out as the portal closed.
Ferb immediately ran up and tried to activate it again but it wouldn't work. He guessed the part about those wrist devices was true after all.
"Finally" Isabella and Ferb turned to find Perry and the good Doofenshmirtz in the door way
"I told you I wasn't good with directions and all you do is chatter at me" Doofenshmirtz stared around
"Where are Phineas and the evil guy?" Isabella started to cry.
(Other Dimension)
As soon as Phineas jumped over he turned to find Doofenshmirtz right behind him.
"Ok, now strap it on and press the center" Doofenshmirtz commanded. Phineas did as he was told and was greeted with a flashing light.
"If that light ever becomes a solid blue light then that means the other one is dead. That is the only way to get out of here" Doofenshmirtz smiled
Phineas just turned and ran. He didn't care where he just needed time to think. He had to make sure he was the winner but he really didn't want to kill anyone. He ran even as he heard laughter behind him.
"RUN PHINEAS FLYNN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME. SOONER OR LATER YOU'LL HAVE TO FACE ME IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN" Doofenshmirtz laughed as he watched the boy run for dear life.
"This is going to be fun" Doofenshmirtz started running too.
