Chapter 9: I Will Go Sailin' No More.The next morning, Duncan was "playing" with his "new" toys, and by playing, I mean "being reckless" and by new I meant "stolen".
""I can see that your Jedi will is strong. But we have ways of making you talk." Duncan said, then he proceeded to get down on his knees and have the magnifying glass concentrate on Sherman's forehead, and a hot white dot begins to smolder on his forehead.
"Where are your rebel friends, now?!" Duncan sinisterly said, laughing.
"Duncan! Pop Tarts are ready!" Duncan' mother said.
"Alright! Pop Tarts rule!" Duncan said, dropping everything and heading out the door. Sherman comes to life as soon as he leaves and screams in agony and pain. His forehead is burning like heck. Luckily, Duncan left a bowl of cereal, with that, Sherman runs to the bow and dunks his head in the bowl of milk, extinguishing the burn.
Jimmy ran over and grabbed darts off of him, and grabs Sherman by the shoulder, lifting him.
"Are you okay, Sherman?!" Jimmy then said. The toy nodded. Jimmy chuckled and grinned. He then said, "I'm proud of you, Sherman. If that was Sheen, she would've cracked under this torture."
Sherman then took a spoon and noticed his reflection. He has a burn mark on his forehead.
"This shouldn't be permanent, right?" Sherman whined, trying to rub off the "blemish". Jimmy shook his "Communicator" and sighed.
"Still no word from The CIA." Jimmy said, annoyed. "Is that spaceport close by?"
"Wait a minute!" Sherman exclaimed. He then sees that Duncan forgot to open the door! "That moron didn't close it!"
"But we have no idea what's out there!" Jimmy exclaimed.
"Who cares? We can..." Sherman then said, but then, he shrieked in terror as soon as the Mutant Toys were in his way. "It's the cannibals! Jimmy, if you can do something, now's a good time!"
And a new toy has arrived as well, he has the head of First form Frieza, the body of Cooler, the arms of a mantis, and the legs of Cooler. This prompted Sherman to scream in fright.
"Shield your eyes!" Jimmy then said, pressing his laser button, and the light blinks quickly at Frieza, who was clearly irritated.
"Alright, enough of this, someone take this insufferable brat away!" Frieza then said.
"It's not working! I thought I had this updated!" Jimmy then said.
"You idiot! You're a toy!" Sherman said grabbing Jimmy by the shoulder, then repeatedly pressing a button on his Backpack, making Jimmy karate chop repeatedly, getting the mutant toys out of the way.
"Sherman, cut that out!" Jimmy angrily said.
"Sorry, guys, but dinner's canceled!" Sherman then said, running out of the room, and taking Jimmy along with him.
"Stop those brats!" Frieza angrily yelled, prompting all of the mutant toys to give chase.
Meanwhile near the case of stairs, Jimmy and Sherman were running, but they stopped as soon as they saw Duncan's viscous dog.
"I don't know what you did back there, Peabody, but at this rate, you're going to get us both killed! You're like a Vigilante that's like a one man reign of terror." Jimmy angrily said.
"Don't. Tell. Me. What. To. Do!" Sherman angrily said, but Jimmy hushed him. Then, Jimmy quietly tiptoed fast to the other part of the hallway. Jimmy signaled "It's okay". Sherman then tiptoed as well, but he accidentally got his string stuck on a stair railing. Sherman then struggled to get free, and then, he managed to get his string free, but the voice box activated.
Suddenly, Sherman looks alarmed as his own voice box screams out in a child's voice, "Woohoo! Yeah!"
The 2 boys looked horrified as the noise awoke the dog, the voice box continued to talk in a child's voice, "If being a dog means you're like Mr. Peabody, who never turns his back on you and who's always there to pick you up when you fall and loves you no matter how many times you mess up; if that's what it means to be a dog, then yeah! [Proudly] I'M A DOG, TOO!"
The dog growled at the 2 boys, they decided to make a run for it.
However, something pushed Sherman out of the way, saving him from the dog, however, he lost his glasses in the progress as well.
Jimmy managed to get into a room where Duncan's father fell asleep last night, just when the viscous dog was about to rip the action figure limb from limb, the dog realized the father was there, so he walks off.
Meanwhile, in the closet, Sherman was puzzled about what happened, he's been saved, and then, the toy walked out and checked if the coast was clear, he then saw a mutant toy's body part run back to Duncan's room. Sherman was surprised, I guess Duncan's mutant toys aren't as bad as they seem.
"Listen," A voice was heard, Scaring Sherman. He then noticed another mutant toy. A conjoined mutated animal toy. A CatDog. Cat is a golden-brown cat with spots. He has an oval red nose, triangular ears, and whiskers. Dog is a light brownish dog, with a purple circle nose, and three hairs sticking up on top of his head. They don't have a full body because they are conjoined with each other and can't be separated without them being together, which is hard at times when they want to be in a different direction, they fight.
Sherman screamed in fear even more. Dog placed his hand on Sherman's mouth, shutting him up.
"You wanna get out of here?" Dog asked. Sherman nodded. "Then fallow me and cat!"
"Why would you want to help me?! Better yet, why should I trust you?!" Sherman demanded.
"Because Duncan's torture has gone on long enough, I wouldn't want to wish the fate of many others on a toy that's not his. I used to be separate but since Duncan stole me and dog, he melted our lower bodies and glued us together, and ever since that day, it's pushing me to insanity!" Cat then said. "Now come on!"
The 3 then headed out of the closet, well Sherman had to untangle himself out of the Christmas lights.
"I just hope Jimmy's okay." Sherman then said, concerned, he has no idea about how wrong he was about to be.
When it's safe to do so, Jimmy then prepares to make his own exit.
"JIMMY NEUTRON! Come in, JIMMY NEUTRON!" The TV said, catching Jimmy's attention.
"The CIA!" Jimmy said, this is it! He can contact The CIA to continue his mission to save the world, he opens the communicator, ready to talk to the The CIA leader.
"I'm in!" A kid's voice was heard in the commercial.
Jimmy then noticed the commercial, and noticed there's a kid holding Jimmy in his box!
"The world needs your help!" The Announcer then said.
"On the Way!" The kid then said.
"JIMMY NEUTRON!" A chorus shouted.
"The world's greatest boy genius is now the world's greatest toy!" The announcer said. "Jimmy has it all, karate chop action!"
The commercial showed a kid using Jimmy's karate chop action, just like Sherman was earlier!
Then, the commercial showed a kid pressing the "laser" button. The announcer said, "Lasers!"
The next shot showed Jimmy's "Wrist Communicator". "Wrist communication!"
Next shot showed a kid pressing Jimmy's Button for phrases. "Over 150 phrases!"
"THESE CRUMMY ALIENS STOLE OUR PARENTS! TIME TO SHOW EM' WHAT WE'RE MADE OF!" TV Jimmy's button activated voice box then said a quote voiced by Debbi Derryberry from the Jimmy Neutron movie.
"THESE CRUMMY ALIENS STOLE OUR PARENTS! TIME TO SHOW EM' WHAT WE'RE MADE OF!" Jimmy's button activated voice box repeated, much to his dismay.
"And best of all, Carbonic alloy wings!" Jimmy's wings popped out on the television and he flew as he glowed in the dark.
"Gotta Blast!" TV Jimmy said, in triumph.
"Not a flying toy!" An announcer said.
"Get your Jimmy Neutron Action Figure and save the world from Bill Cipher today!" The announcer then said.
"JIMMY NEUTRON!" Bowling for soup was heard in the background.
"Available at all Worthington Toy Stadium stores nationwide." An announcer then said.
Jimmy couldn't believe what he's hearing, this can't be true. But he then saw the door of his communicator, it had the words "Made in Taiwan". Jimmy sighed in grief, Sherman was right all along about him. He's just a toy.
Jimmy couldn't believe his ears and eyes, is what he seeing true? Is he a toy? The painful truth is, he is. Unbeknownst to Jimmy, Sherman (With his glasses back on) and Catdog saw this. Sherman knew Jimmy would find out the truth that he was just a toy, but Sherman would hope to tell Jimmy the truth once they were back with Trent once things were calm.
"Ouch." Cat then said. "That's gonna leave a mark."
"I just hope he doesn't do something stupid after learning the truth. Like pretend to be something else." Sherman said, slightly sad.
Jimmy looked down as he slowly exited the room he was in.
Singing Voice:Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
Before this whole charade happened, he had a big ego, and he thought he was a real CIA Apprentice, on a mission to save the world from Dark Danny.
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
And now, he knows that he's nothing more than a toy, just an ordinary toy.
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more
Jimmy then stopped for a moment and glanced at the window, he looked and then despaired in sadness. He hung his head in shame, feeling foolish for actually believing he has a laboratory, or he was a boy genius superhero.
All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I've done
Vanish like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more
But then he shook his head, and then got a look of determination, he wasn't going to let that discourage him. He has to prove he's a CIA Apprentice, and the only way to do that is to fly to that Window. He climbed the Stair railings and was in position, he pressed the button that got his wings popped out and had a look of determination.
But no, it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky
If I believed I could fly
Why, I'd fly
"To Lightspeed and Beyond!" Jimmy shouted, and as soon as he jumped off, everything felt as if it went slow-mo, he felt as if he was going to fly, but then, he started to fall and had a terrified and betrayed look on his face as soon as he started to fall. Jimmy then landed painfully on the stairs and on the ground.
Jimmy was stunned, and then saw his left arm, detatched, broken off, he was nothing but a toy. All he could do is despair in sadness.
Clearly, I will go sailing no more...
"Hey Mrs. Ryanson? Have you seen my Treeflower doll?" A girl was heard, she walked in and is revealed to be a little 10 year old girl with Black hair, light skin, and was dressed like a princess.
"What was that?" Duncan's mom was heard.
"Never mind." Chloe said, shrugging and picking him up, she grins and shrugs. She might as well keep this toy away from Duncan.
