Authors Note: I have GOT to update Stranded Two but I don't feeeeeel like it, one of you should help me get motivated! Please? :3 I have BIG plans for this story…mwahahahaha…
Oh and i forgot to mention *ahem* VIOLENCE!
Doofenshmirtz remembered how he felt when Rodney first made him watch the video of Platyborg's execution. He felt sad and angry and regretful and many other emotions. He was sad because he'd never see the cyborg again. He was angry at Rodney and he was full of regret for several reasons.
He regretted not spending enough time with Platyborg and not paying attention to him. He regretted that he couldn't protect the cyborg better than he had and he regretted everything up to this point. Platyborg was dead and it was his entire fault, it was his fault that the cyborg suffered. Now all he could do was watch as his best friend, partner in crime and heir was killed right in front of him. Well not right in front of him, it was on a television but you know what I mean and yes I said heir. If he ever died, Platyborg would get everything (he'd share it with Vanessa) but he still got everything. Those were his kids and he didn't care if one of them was a cybernetic platypus with the attention span of a gold fish and the other one resented him a bit. They were still his kids' damnit, and before anyone says that that's awkward…think about it. Platyborg lived at his house and couldn't do anything for himself, the cyborg relied on him for everything and was a little less than 10 years old. He's either a kid or a magical elf, you decide.
He could only hope that Vanessa was alright now, Platyborg was gone and she was all he had left. You know if she was even ALIVE, he knew he'd never be free from this place to actually know and if he was with her than she'd be in grave danger as well. He already got Platyborg killed, he wouldn't risk her safety. It'd be better for her if he was never near her, at least she'd be safe.
Vanessa drove down the streets and finally found the place she was looking for. It wasn't hard and she didn't get captured because there were NO ROBOTS where she lived. The robots were too busy keeping everyone inside the main part of town and weren't concerned about the outer part. Her house was up in the hills somewhere so she was safe. She wasn't going into the main part of town of course, well she was but not by car. Using a car to drive into town would have to be the most idiotic and reckless thing anyone could ever do. There's no doubt you'd be caught. I mean you're DRIVING in a CAR through an army of ROBOTS, what, do you think they're not going to see it?
She parked the car and got out, she was at her dad's suburban house. There wasn't a robot in sight when she pulled up, but now there were a few on the corner that were probably drawn by the sound of the car. Whoops. They took a shot at her but she jumped behind the car to avoid it. The blast left a scorch mark near the trunk of the car. Great. Her mom was going to kill her-another blast whizzed past her head- not if the robots didn't do it first!
Vanessa ran for the door and scrambled to find the key under the mat, she found it and opened the door. She ran inside and quickly shut it behind her. After taking a moment to breathe she began looking around the house and feeling the walls. It had to be around here somewhereeeeee- FOUND IT! She ripped away a patch of wallpaper and found the green scanner, she blew the dust off and placed her hand on the glass. Her hand was scanned and analyzed, a female computerized voice came out.
"Scan complete. Welcome Vanessa Doofenshmirtz."
A part of the wall slid away and she walked into the dark passageway. She continued down the cave like hallways and picked up a torch that was placed on the wall. The light from the flame gave the place a dimly lit look. The teenager finally made it to the mine cart tracks underground. That was odd, the cart was gone. Great, now she had to walk. Vanessa had heard that the secret tunnel had collapsed but it looked dug out, recently too. She shrugged it off and began making her way through the tunnel. Hopefully she'd get to her father soon.
Candace continued digging with her staff and using the stick as leverage to push the cart forward. She had lost track of the time and she didn't know how long she had been doing this. It already felt like an eternity and she wasn't even nearly there yet. It was a good thing she brought a lot of supplies, this mission would easily take a few months at least. She'd have to ration her food the best she could, she'd eat a little but not to full completion. She'd still be hungry but she would have something in her stomach to keep her from dying of starvation, she also had to scarcely ration her water supply. It was dusty and dry down here too.
She dug a little further and abruptly decided that she needed a break. She couldn't find Doofenshmirtz and Platyborg if she was dead. The red head sighed and sat down on the cart, taking a small sip of water from one of her many canteens. Her bag was golf club sized so she had a lot in there. She'd survive but she wished she'd know if that was the same fate as those two idiots. She wouldn't admit it but she missed them, Doofenshmirtz with his witty comebacks and Platyborg….well who couldn't miss the little tin can? She hoped they were alright.
Platyborg was dead and all he could do at that moment was force himself to watch the tape. He deserved to be punished. Alt. Doof also wanted to see the cyborg when he was in his last few moments, for some reason he felt that it would bring them closer in some way. It was sick and twisted but he watched…for Platyborg.
"No, stop…please! It hurts!"
Rodney simply laughed and continued tearing him apart.
"Doof help!"
"Doofenshmirtz can't save you cyborg, it's over for you now."
"S-Stop…" Platyborg whimpered and struggled against his restraints, they wouldn't budge and he grew slower and silent with each gasp for air. Blood covered his entire chest where it was ripped open and wires stuck out, most of them snipped or ripped. He could move only slightly now and there was this agonizing pain in his chest, like fire. He gave up fighting and his head slammed lifelessly onto the metal table, his eye closed a second later and his chest stopped heaving up and down for air. He couldn't breathe, the blood blocked the openings to his lungs and were quickly filling up. Soon he was breathing the red substance and he couldn't take it anymore, the world stopped.
The video stopped and the author had to stop herself before this fic started to become Rated M material. Doofenshmirtz sobbed quietly and his voice was soft.
"Platyborg…I'm so sorry…"
"You should be." Rodney said dryly and left the room.
The indentured executive assistant- (the blond boy) – glanced sadly back at the broken man before wheeling the television out the door, he paused and turned back to…apologize?
"Hey I- um…I'm really sorry about your friend. He looked like a really great person and he meant a lot to you. I-" The blond assistant looked like he was about to say something but stopped himself "I'm sorry." Then he hurried out the door.
Alt. Doof stared after him from the bed. What the hell?
Present.
Doofenshmirtz still didn't understand that assistants motives, he'd never seen that teenager before in his life. Had he? Wait, he did! He was-
"Will you stop doing that?" Alt. Doof stared at the cyborg.
Cyborg didn't answer and continued to glare at the man. You know how Doofenshmirtz felt when he saw that video but can you imagine how he felt when he found out it was fake? I mean yes it was real but it had taken place a while ago! Back when Rodney had first killed Platyborg with the whole Doof being forced to pay for a funeral he really didn't want to pay for fiasco. He suggested they bury the cybernetic platypus in the backyard but no, Vanessa said that wasn't right or legal. Pfft, since when did he follow the rules? Oh yeah, a month or so before Platyborg was created. When he had thought he lost his nemesis, but then didn't he turn around and take over the Tri State Area? That was evil! Oh yeah Heinz, taking over the Tri State Area is evil alright but not when there are good intentions behind it! What had happened to him? He used to be truly evil until that little platypus came along! Now look where he is!
Why was he thinking like this? He loved Platyborg and he had always loved Perry the Platypus, in a caring and friendly type of way that is. He was always on edge though whenever he was in the same room with Platyborg's counterpart. He didn't mean to be so hostile, it just bothered him deeply that what happened to them in this dimension turned out great for them in the 1st Dimension. Why did fate have to be so cruel? And to his nemesis? Why did it have to be him? It could have easily been himself or some other pair of nemesis' but no, it had to happen to him and Platyborg- I mean Perry the Platypus- well now he's Perry the Platyborg but no one really calls him Perry except those two boys- UGH! Why hadn't those two stupid boys done something? Why was that stupid platypus so stupid to do it? That stupid platypus! That STUPID, STUPID platypus!
He wasn't aware that he had said that last part out loud and accompanied it with an overly exaggerated groan and slamming his head repeatedly again the metal bars on the bed. Doofenshmirtz realized this when he noticed the pain in his forehead and the little cyborg staring at him like he was completely insane. The cyborg was questioning whether to electrocute him or not, he also questioned whether he should call his master or not.
He was also questioning this criminal's sanity.
