Ch: 10
The Retrieval

"Are you laying down on the job? I thought I could entrust you with this small task, but, apparently it's too much for you! Fortunately, I found someone to replace you!" Professor Calamitous stood over Nissa who lay on the ground just waking up. He continued, "I was wrong trusting you and believing you were the best! I'm sorry, but, I am just gonna have to let you go, you're weighing my plot down..."

Nissa remained on the ground even after he had left, she was completely bewildered. He had gone to cherishing her help, to shunning it. Maybe Mom is right, Nissa thought. Maybe disappointing him is enjoyable, since apparently doing your best doesn't please him... I really don't like him anymore! She sat up and started packing her few things in her room, which is contrary to that of Betty's which was full of everything she had at her house back in Retroville. At least this way Nissa could carry her small bag of three pairs of clothes, (which each ensemble was washed at the end of the day), three pairs of pajamas, (same thing here too), and a pair of sneakers. She also had some toiletries packed, but, just toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and floss. That's it. When she put it all in a bag, it was quite light, which worked with her situation of not being quite awake yet.

"Jimmy? Jimmy?" Carl asked over the screen in Jimmy's lab. "Are you okay? Where are you?" Jimmy slowly walked towards the monitor with his jaw still hanging down as low as possible.

"M-m-m-my... i-in...ven...tions. Half of them are missing!" He exclaimed after a moment's hesitation.

Carl tilted his head to the side and tapped his chin, thinking, then concluded, "Can't you just make new ones? ...Anyway, what else happened last night?" Apparently he didn't see any crisis whatsoever of this situation and mainly focused on what he missed during his unconsciousness.

Jimmy ignored Carl's last question and answered his first, "Sure I can make new ones! But, if I don't have them, then who does?"

"Hmm, that question did not cross my mind... well, I hope they have fun with your time booth!" Carl said merrily, still not catching the importance.

"What do you mean my time booth, it's still..." Jimmy whipped his head around to where the certain invention was supposed to sit. Unfortunately, the scarlet machine, too, was missing. Realizing that more than what he thought was stolen, Jimmy looks for more missing inventions.

About fifteen minutes later, Jimmy came back to the monitor to see that Carl hadn't turned off his screen off and was playing with a doll and a llama, "Carl! Seventy six percent of my inventions are gone!"

Carl's first reaction was sitting up straight and looking right at the monitor while throwing the doll quickly to the side like he wasn't playing with it. And when his mind registered what Jimmy said, he lamented, "Oh, that's too bad, Jim, how do you plan on getting it back?"

"I have most of my inventions placed with a tracker, so, we can go immediately... I'll be at your house in the hovercar ASAP!" Jimmy announced and darted off without turning the cam off. Carl sat there pouting, then wondered why Jimmy had to come over in the hovercar, they're next door neighbors!

As Jimmy realized this, he already landed and rang the doorbell. Before the door was opened, he heard a voice (they come up frequently, huh?) from behind him, "All the trackers have been removed carefully, Professor Calamitous isn't in Dallas anymore..."

He whirled around like a ballerina and was astonished in an angry way, "What do you want, Nissa?"

She stood there peacefully, with her hands folded in front of her. "I want to help," she stated, remaining where she was.

Carl opened the door and exited his house. When he saw Nissa, he smiled and waved, "Hi, Nissa!"

Jimmy automatically slapped Carl's hand down, "Carl, don't! She's evil!" Then, Jimmy directed his attention back to the little girl standing next to his hovercar, "What makes you think that I trust you?"

"Nothing, I can just hope," Nissa replied. Jimmy ignored her and hopped into his gravity-defying vehicle, more concerned with who has his inventions rather than what she might do. Before they were out of earshot, she shouted, "When you're ready to know where they are, call me or something!"

"What if we need her help?" Carl asked as they landed to pick up Sheen who was in the Candy Bar.

"We won't, she's trying to fool us!" Jimmy exclaimed as he left his hovercar. He and Carl entered to find Sheen arguing with Sam that the milkshakes cost too much, because he didn't have enough to pay. Jimmy grabbed Sheen and dragged him away from the counter and summed up, "Seventy six percent of my inventions are missing and now we have to go to Dallas to get them back and you're coming with us no matter what you say." And he kept dragging Sheen out.

Libby and Cindy were in the corner, eavesdropping to all this. They then see Nissa (she's EVERYWHERE!) plop down right next to Libby, "Hi guys!"

"Oh, hey Nissa, where've you..." Libby started but Cindy cut in.

"She's Beautiful Gorgeous' daughter, Libbs!"

Libby just sat there, silent, slightly upset that she had forgotten. Nissa politely stated, "Could you guys do me a favor? When Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen come back angry that Professor Calamitous had taken off all the trackers and left them in Dallas, could you tell them that he's in Oakley, California? Thanks." And she left as quickly as she sat down.

"Uh... okay? That was just somewhat odd," Cindy said before she sipped some of her smoothie.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Hours Later:

Jimmy angrily left his hover car which was in the back yard, and shouted, "I can't believe the place was completely empty! Except for all the trackers."

Carl suggested, "Maybe we should ask for Nissa's help..."

"Are you crazy?" Jimmy screeched. "She's evil! Wicked! Devious! Disasterous! And also deceitful! And that's what she's doing to you! Deceiving you!" And he marched to the front door with clenched fists.

To his surprise, he found Cindy and Libby standing in the front lawn, waiting. Cindy informed, "Why don'tcha try Oakley, California, I hear he's somewhere over there."

"Nissa?" Jimmy queried through his teeth as his fists tightened. Libby nodded, answering the question.

"Just go, it's not like it'll take too long in your hovercar or something," Cindy urged. Jimmy marched into his lab and did a search for Beautiful Gorgeous' tracking chip (or whatever) which was in her head. To his dismay, she was in a place called, guess where! Oakley, California!

He walked out of his lab with his head low, but still facing forwards. He summoned Carl and Sheen into the hovercar and told the girls, "You stay here, in case Nissa comes..."

When they took off, Libby stated, "Mmm, mmm. That guy can't accept change, can he?"

"I don't necessarily trust her either," Cindy said to her friend. "I mean, I don't quite apply the 'once evil, always evil' deal, but, she just gives off the wrong vibes." Libby nodded and they went and picnicked on Cindy's front yard.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jimmy arrived at the destination within the hour, surprisingly. On the way there, he had called the police on the location so there'd be less to do while there, just mainly somehow get Beautiful knocked unconscious or some other thing to where she's susceptible, and gather the inventions. That's all they would pretty much have to do.

The place where they were staying was a two story house, which was unusual for obvious reasons. The boys decided to enter through the second floor. Carl stayed lookout in the hovercar. Sheen and Jimmy hopped off of the invention, which was in mid-air at the time, and landed on the roof while the vehicle was on autopilot to land. They stealthily entered through a window and entered into an empty room. The two creeped across the floor and opened the door to find Betty with headphones on while reading a magazine and her mom and granddad bickering as usual.

"This is way too simple!" Jimmy whispered. He aimed what looked like a toy gun at all three and pulled the trigger. Out from it came a bubble that sucked the three into it. In there, they helplessly float.

Professor Calamitous shouted something, then Beautiful retorted while Betty turned the music up louder and continued reading, thankfully, you couldn't hear any of it.

So Sheen and Jimmy put everything back in the bag and took it out the front door and into the hovercar and took off. The three remained in the bubble until it finally popped seven hours later, in a jail cell. Jimmy of course was full of bliss that he got his inventions back, and he didn't care how easy it was... but he will.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Well, that's the end... oh, sorry, just a sec...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nissa stood in the shadowed area of the room the whole time, clinging to one of Jimmy's inventions, with the most evil grin on her face ever seen. It was time, for revenge...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: That's why Jimmy will care later on, y'know, when Nissa starts taking over places and stuff. But, I've decided to put it in the sequel, no idea why I'm even making a sequel, I just wanted to. I'm not sure when it'll be out. And I hope that I didn't utterly disappoint ya with this ending and all with it being way to simple, it was kinda supposed to be, of course, you'd think Jimmy'd be suspicious of it and all, but, nope! Guess not! So, this is literally the end of the story... well, not the storyline, just the story.
