Chapter Nine: Fight
A giant holographic map of New York had been set up on a table in the middle of the main lab floor. The entire group was gathered around – Jimmy had found a stick and was using it to point things out.
"Here's the plan," he said, "According to Tucker, the Man in the White Suit has set up his throne room in the Chrysler Building. Dr. Thourrel, you're gonna be here, on top of the St..."
"Hold on, Chrysler Building?" quizzed Dr. Thourrel, "I haven't heart of a..."
"It's the one with the crown on it," replied Jimmy, "You'll be watching in from this building here. You'll be on overwatch – make sure nothing tries to surprise us."
"Right," nodded Dr. Thourrel, "Seems simple enough, dear boy."
"Sandy, Patrick, Tucker and Jazz will be down here, in the entrance," continued Jimmy, "You're gonna keep the Man's guards off us."
"Great!" grinned Tucker.
There was a brief pause.
"How?" he asked.
"I've...got an invention I want you guys to try out," shrugged Jimmy, "Dani, I want you in the air – I've got a feeling he's got something that can fly, and I want you to deal with it."
"Got it," nodded Dani, "I'll keep the skies clear."
"Timmy, Spongebob, Jenny," Jimmy finished, "You're with me. We're going right to the Man in the White Suit and putting a stop to this."
"Right behind you, Jim," said Timmy, a small grin on his face.
"I'm not gonna lie, the odds are against us," sighed Jimmy, "But we can't think about that. Our friends, our families, Danny – they're all counting on us. We won't fail them."
He looked at the map.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he declared, "Are you with me?"
The group looked at each other. Then they cheered.
The Man in the White Suit looked down from his window as a portal began to form in the street. It was hard to see – a storm was blowing is, as tends to happen in dramatic final confrontations. The Man crossed his arms – if they were so foolish as to attack him, why were they taking so long to do it?
And then he got his answer.
"The road is clear, send it through."
The portal on the street flashed brightly...and a tank rolled out.
It was a large, chrome beast, hovering above the ground. It had a small, swivelling turret with an upsized version of the Tornado Blaster attached.
"So," Sandy asked into the radio, sitting in the command chair, "The Neutronic Tornado Tank?"
"I got a taste for it," replied Jimmy, sheepishly, "Trust me, it'll work."
"Stop them!"
A group of guards ran out of the building, javelins drawn.
The tank swivelled it's turret and fired.
There was a loud bang, and the whole group was blown back, right into a wall. They slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Sandy grinned.
"Y'all might have a point," she conceded, "Patrick, reload the blaster – reckon we might have a bit a' fun with this..."
A portal opened in the sky, and Dani flew out.
"Alright, I'm in!" she exclaimed, "Also it's raining. This'll be fun."
All of a sudden, she heard a strange screeching noise.
"Well, I think they know I'm here," she gulped.
Two shadows soared out of the sky, screaming towards Dani. She gulped and soared away from them – they immediately gave chase.
"Crud!" exclaimed Dani, "How am I supposed to deal with two of these things? I don't even have a Tesla Coil this time!"
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
"Well, if Danny can do it," she exclaimed, "Then so can I!"
And thus, she tried to duplicate.
Tried being the key word.
Her head separated into two, but the second head stayed firmly attached to her body.
Three seconds later, she slammed into the side of a building. The two shadows followed her into the wall, disintegrating like raindrops as they hit.
Dani groaned, and pulled her heads out of the small crater in the side of the building.
"Well," one of her heads sighed, "At least they're dumb."
"Yeah," murmured the other.
She put her heads back together and kicked off the wall, flying back towards the Chrysler Building.
Valerie sat in a cell, glaring at her guard. She didn't know or care how the Man had fit a cell block into the Chrysler Building – probably the same way he'd put a throne room in there.
"When I get outta here," she snarled to the guard, "I am going to make your master wish he had never been..."
There was a blast of purple light, and the guard was knocked out of sight.
"...wha?"
Vlad Plasmius strode up to the cell door, pulling a key from his coat and unlocking it.
"You," snarled Valerie, "What the heck are you trying to..."
"I'm saving you," replied Vlad, "But if you want to be flippant, I can simply leave you here."
Valerie blinked.
"That's what I thought," nodded Vlad, opening the door.
"Well, that's their allies deployed," muttered the Man, still looking out the window as Danny and Sam marched in, "But no sign of our true adversary..."
"Master!" shouted Danny, "Portal detected!"
"Where?" snapped the Man.
"Right in front of you, master!" exclaimed Danny.
The Man paused.
"What? But there's nothing..."
He froze, gazing out the window.
"Our portal detector doesn't pick up 3D, does it?" he realised.
Before his eyes, four figures slowly rose up to his window.
Jimmy came first, his jetpack on and his arms crossed. Jenny followed him, holding the Tesla Coil and looking just as unimpressed. Finally, Timmy and Spongebob (wearing what looked like some kind of anti-gravity boots) came into view, carrying the Starflinger and karate gloves respectively.
Jimmy calmly pulled out his Tornado Blaster and fired. The window shattered, letting all of the rain and cold air into the throne room. The Man flinched and jumped back.
The group floated into the throne room, aiming their weapons (or in Spongebob's case, making a karate pose). Jimmy smirked.
"We're back," he said.
I was listening to the theme to The Avengers while writing that last scene. It felt pretty awesome.
