While Baljeet made his way to the ground floor Ferb made his way over two his two companions.
"PHINEAS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Ferb yelled under his breath so as not to alert Baljeet to their inner conflict. The last thing they needed was Baljeet turning them on one another. It would seem that they were doing that well enough on their own
"What do you mean? I was trying to end this for you guys" Phineas was shocked at how angry Ferb was
"You should have told us" Isabella said
"No he should have told me and then I could have assessed the situation. What you did was stupid. How did you even know this room was here?" Ferb was still angry
"Baljeet would not have invited us here if he was not one hundred percent ready. If he wasn't he would have diverted our attention but he didn't. So when I saw the dead end tunnel I knew something was down there. It looks like I was right" Phineas looked around the giant room
"You still should have told us" Ferb got Phineas' attention back
"And say what? Oh hey guys I know I put Ferb in charge but I'm calling the shots still? Ferb I did exactly as you asked"
"You did the opposite. I told you to get to that room…" Phineas shook his head
"Not entirely. While you did tell me to get to that door you also told me to head off Baljeet if I got the chance. This was my chance and I took it" Phineas looked a little upset now
"What about Buford?" Ferb just realized he wasn't around
"I sent him to circle around and take this place from the back" Phineas remembered
"But this room only has one entrance" Isabella chimed in
"I know" Phineas smiled "Now if you'll excuse me" Phineas gently pushed past his friends as he made his way to the center of the room
Ferb and Isabella were about to stop him when they realized why he started walking. Baljeet had reached the ground level and the fight was about to begin.
(Buford)
"Where am I?"
(Coliseum)
"Finished saying your good byes?" Baljeet taunted as he made his way slowly towards Phineas
"Discussing where we're gonna go after we're finished here" Phineas shot back
"I must say though, I never expected you to live through all this" Baljeet's smile never wavered "During my trip down from my balcony I had a few seconds of serious thought"
"So you're finally going to take me seriously?" Phineas was amusing Baljeet
"Do not get me wrong. I have always taken you seriously. I have never had a thought about you where I intentionally downgraded you" Baljeet seemed genuine
"You've downgraded and underestimated me every time we've met" Phineas called him out
"Verbally yes but I never mentally let my guard down against you. Despite my superior intellect I find myself constantly compelled to bring our worlds into conflict" Baljeet had since stopped walking and was more or less talking to Phineas now
"So you are purposefully stalking me and anyone I know to get me to fight you?" Phineas didn't quite understand
"Correct. I cannot explain it but there is something about fighting you that exhilarates me. I still wish to kill you but my motivation to fight you is much stronger" Baljeet seemed to be delusional
"YOU JUST SHOT ME" Phineas freaked out
"I did not kill you though. Had I truly wanted to kill you with that shot I would have but I did not. I merely wanted you to bring out all that anger and frustration out. I am superior in intelligence but Now I find myself needing to prove my superiority in Strength as well" Baljeet finally rested his eyes back on Phineas after they started to wander around the room
"So you want me angry and ready to kill you so you can try and beat me to prove you're stronger?" Phineas thought he had it
"Precisely" Baljeet spoke but this time not from in front of Phineas but right behind him
"How?" Phineas did a half turn
Baljeet connected with a good kick to Phineas' chest.
To every ones shock and awe Phineas flew through the air about ten feet before hitting the ground and rolling away
"Do you like it?" Baljeet taunted as he flexed his left leg
"How?" Phineas scampered to his feet
"I reinforced the metallic exoskeleton around my leg to give it an extra boost in power" Baljeet explained knowing full well that was not what Phineas was asking
"I meant how did you move so fast?" Phineas was panting trying to catch his breath
"Simple. I just enforced this" Baljeet pointed to his watch "Now it uses the electricity being emitted into the air to generate a pulse of unimaginable power. However this pulse does not come from any stored power source on my person so I do not have to worry about how many times I use it or worry that the power source will be drained. But back to how it works. The pulse it emits is so powerful that even time stands still for any who are inside the small area it affects. In that instant I can walk across the room and by the time the pulse dissipates it will appear I have disappeared and reappeared. It truly is a marvel of technology"
"Do you not think?" Baljeet was behind Phineas again
"What?" Phineas received another kick to his chest that sent him flying back a good twelve feet before hitting the ground
"I. Didn't. Hear. Anything." Phineas gasped for air after each word
"It is almost silent" Baljeet appeared over Phineas crushing his chest into the ground with his foot
"PHINEAS" Isabella went to run to him but was pulled back by Ferb
"What are you doing?" Ferb's word were harsh but over flowing with concern
"What does it look like? I'm saving Phineas" Isabella struggled in his grasp
"NO! It's too dangerous" Ferb would not let go
"LET ME GO" Isabella screamed
"Listen to your friend" Baljeet turned his attention to Ferb and Isabella
"What did you say?" Isabella was beyond angry that he would speak to her
"I said listen to him. He is trying to protect you from certain death" Baljeet explained
"If he let me go you would be dead" Isabella made a lunge but Ferb's grasp held
"Such impatience" Baljeet took his foot off Phineas as he turned towards the pair
"Come a little closer" Isabella warned
"Shut up" Ferb whispered
"Ferb as I do not require anything from you two I will make this offer only once. Restrain her and I will guarantee that as long as Phineas freely chooses to defend you two no ham will come to you. Do we have a deal?" Baljeet made it quick and clear this was a one-time deal
"No deal" Isabella threw her staff at him which he easily dodged
"Ferb?" Baljeet ignored Isabella
Ferb began to think. He could keep Isabella and himself safe. He could just wait out the battle in safety. Or he could refuse the deal and hope a 3 on 1 advantage was enough. Then again with Baljeet's ability to slow time down how could they win? Yet they had to try. What more could they do if they couldn't stand together? Ferb knew the answer
"Deal" Ferb agreed much to Baljeet's delight and Isabella's horror
"Splendid" Baljeet clapped his hands together
"FERB! HOW COULD YOU?" Isabella couldn't believe her ears
Ferb knew it was not the most popular choice and truthfully it was the most painful for him. To deny his own brother aid in a fight of this magnitude was not something he would do lightly. The only thing that kept him from refusing the deal is a promise he made. Phineas made him promise him one thing and he vowed he would never break that promise. The promise to keep Isabella safe.
"Trust me Isabella" Ferb didn't know what else to say other than trust him
"Trust you? You are letting Phineas die" Isabella started tearing up
"I just want…"
"Now that, that is all squared away" Baljeet turned back to Phineas who had made his way to his feet
"Enjoy the rest?" Baljeet moved in
"It helped" Phineas showed his cocky attitude again
"Good because there will be no more resting" Baljeet disappeared
"PHINEAS" Isabella yelled as she saw Baljeet appear behind him
"HOW MANY RIBS THIS TIME? 2? 3?" Baljeet threw his kick and connected
The kick connected with such force that every rib in Phineas' body would break. Internal organs would rupture and his body would impale itself from the inside with all the bone fragments cutting everything in their path. This kick would kill Phineas.
"WHAT?!" Baljeet was shocked as his kick connected but not with Phineas
"I've found a way around your offence" Phineas quickly brought the staff around from a defensive position to an offensive one. Swinging with all his might Phineas landed a hard shot right to Baljeet's ribs.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHH" Baljeet quickly disappeared and reappeared several feet back clutching his ribs
"How many?" Phineas taunted
Baljeet paused as he felt his rib cage. His anger only grew as he found 1…2…3 broken. The pain was excruciating but well manageable. Pain was not going to stop him. This was not over.
"How many?" Phineas taunted again
"Three and you?" Baljeet attempted to stand up straight and failed
Phineas quickly double checked and indeed found a few broken ribs.
"Two" Phineas smiled
"It seems we are on equal fighting ground" Baljeet again attempted to stand up and couldn't
"You look a little worse for wear" Phineas commented
Baljeet, not about to be counted out, stood up straight and despite the pain on his face he did not buckle again.
"Phineas do not belittle me in my arena" Baljeet warned
"I didn't mean to touch a nerve" Phineas smiled
Baljeet was gone and Phineas got ready.
It didn't take long as the staff picked up on the only thing making a vibration at that moment in time.
"Another failed strike" Phineas blocked the attack from behind but before he had time to move into an offensive position Baljeet was gone again. The staff quickly blocked an attack to the left then the right and then the front.
"How are you blocking my attacks?" Baljeet appeared to Phineas' right obviously confused and curious
"I'm just that good" Phineas self praised
"No you are not better than before but something is different. Superior fighting and blocking skills as well as able to predict my movements. Phineas is not superior not by a long shot; if he was then I would have never landed the first few blows. That leaves only on option. It is the staff that is superior" Baljeet looked at Phineas who was shocked at his deduction capabilities. He was hoping to get a few shots in before Baljeet finally figured it out.
"I guess you got me" Phineas surrendered the information
"That is not all. The question of how it is able to detect my movements is still a mystery to me" Baljeet eyed Phineas and the staff before talking again "Obviously it is not motion as you cannot see me while I am moving at such a high pace. Maybe electrical output, no if that were the answer then it would only be drawn to my electrical equipment. Logical answer says Vibrations in the air waves" Baljeet smiled when he saw Phineas' face
Phineas could not believe how fast Baljeet pieced that together and with such accuracy. Was that even humanly possible? It didn't matter how he did it, all that mattered was he had an effective weapon against Baljeet right now
"So you figured out a few new pieces of information about my weapons, so what? It won't help you" Phineas got ready
Baljeet just smiled as he disappeared.
Where was the attack coming from? Left? Right? Behind? Phineas kept an eye out when the attack came.
"LEFT" Phineas screamed as the staff moved to defend him
The staff successfully blocked the attack and Phineas was pleased. Then he saw what it was.
"A computer?" Phineas asked and then he saw it
The staff was too slow as Baljeet already closed in and landed a kick to the wrist of Phineas. The shock of the attack caused Phineas to drop the staff as he was forced back from overwhelming strikes by Baljeet.
Although he was blocking a few attacks, with his arms protecting his face, the majority were making it through his defence. Phineas knew he couldn't withstand this forever and then he realised something. His left arm…he had been fighting with it for the duration of the battle.
"THE DEVICE" Phineas said aloud as he realised it was still working and was healing his wounds while Baljeet was just getting weaker.
The fight wasn't over
Quickly transitioning to an offensive position Phineas started throwing punches as well. Although more of Baljeet's punches were hitting their mark Phineas knew he could take more damage than Baljeet could. He just had to outlast him.
After five solid minutes of trading blows Baljeet backed off and quickly examined his handiwork. To his shock Phineas seemed to have only felt a fraction of the damage he inflicted while he was feeling exhausted and beat up.
"That is not possible. I landed more punches and you look as if I just grazed you. How are you doing that?" Baljeet was scared
"You mean you can't figure this one out?" Phineas asked obviously happy
"There is no way this is possible. Wait…while we were fighting you said something right before you went on the offensive. What did you say?" Baljeet knew it was the key but he couldn't remember
"I didn't say anything" Phineas feigned genuine truth
"LIAR" Baljeet was letting his anger get the better of him
"I never lie to my friends" Phineas smirked as the scowl on Baljeet's face grew
"Tell me and I might not kill you right now" Baljeet warned
"I say bring it on" Phineas responded
"What an idiot" Ferb whispered under his breath
"Why would you say that?" Isabella caught what he said but was more interested in a way to escape and help Phineas
"Because he is going to rely on the device healing him" Ferb began
"Won't that help him?" Isabella was curious now why Phineas was an idiot
"It will but don't forget that it was designed to heal Phineas. It cannot take over the job of protecting him as well. We already heard Phineas admit he has some broken ribs which means the device is not fully protecting him. Plus healing broken bones will require a lot more energy than a cut or flesh wound. Any attacks against his chest area should not do that kind of damage" Ferb feared the worst now
"What are you saying?" Isabella didn't know where he was going with this
"Phineas' healing device is working harder to repair damage to his body that it was not designed to heal. I hate to say it but that device is using more energy than it should right now and that can only mean one thing if Phineas doesn't start defending himself properly" Ferb kept a close eye on the battle
"What?"
"It isn't going to last hours…it's going to last a matter of minutes. It will start using more power at a faster rate to try and keep up with the damage his body is taking and that will result in a faster decline in power." Ferb never took his eyes off the fight
"Are you sure?" Isabella didn't want to believe it
"About 98% sure" Ferb told her
"Phineas" Isabella started crying as she turned her attention back to the battle
Baljeet jumped back after landing another blow to Phineas. He was still flabbergasted that Phineas seemed to be shrugging his attacks off now. What changed?
"Now isn't the time to go easy on me" Phineas taunted
"You little" Baljeet started looking around
"Nothing will help you" Phineas started running at Baljeet
"Really?" Baljeet disappeared
"Now where did you go? Stop hiding and fight me" Phineas stopped and started looking around
"Very well" Baljeet was right beside Phineas
"AHHHHHHHH" Phineas dropped to one knee as Baljeet connected with his ribs again
The attack kept coming as Baljeet would appear, attack the ribs and the disappear only to attack again from another angle
Between shots Phineas caught a glance of Ferb and Isabella.
Ferb had his eye trained on the battle and despite his best efforts he had let tears start to flow. Phineas knew what he was thinking and it broke his heart too have to deny his help
Isabella on the other hand was not hiding the tears anymore. They flowed down her face and made it look as if she was a walking waterfall. Phineas' already broken heart broke some more when he saw this. He was causing her pain and he couldn't do anything. He was getting beaten and Baljeet still had the upper hand. What could he do? He could only lessen her pain in the only way he knew how.
"WAIT! STOP!" Phineas screamed as Baljeet brought up the staff for another attack
"What do you want?" Baljeet decided to humor him just because he knew it was hopeless for him
"What will it take for you to let them leave?" Phineas nodded to Ferb and Isabella.
Despite their objections Phineas just tuned them out. It took all his will power not to look over and see their horrified and angry faces.
Baljeet now had the look of absolute fascination. Being able to determine the stipulation for the release of Isabella and Ferb. He could, in theory, ask for anything. What did he want most? The tri-state area? Phineas dead? Total control of everything in the galaxy? No, what he wanted was much simpler
"Join me" Baljeet stated plainly
"WHAT!?" Phineas, Ferb and Isabella all gasped simultaneously
"Why?" Phineas didn't understand. All this talk of killing him and now he wants to join forces
"Not for your benefit. I merely want the knowledge inside your head. You see I can create anything but without motivation I cannot come up with anything to create, call it my curse. With your mind I will have endless possibilities as you seem to need almost no motivation to come up with wild ideas. That is my demand if you want them to leave alive" Baljeet crossed his arms and backed off
"So you want me to join you just so you can keep creating evil devices?" Phineas slowly stated to rise
"Precisely" Baljeet smiled
"What makes you think I won't agree to help and then not help you?" Phineas knew Baljeet had an answer but he didn't know what it was
"Because if you agree and then do not help me. I will make it my mission to ruin their lives" Baljeet made it clear he was not joking
Phineas was now in a delicate position. As he stood Ferb and Isabella were safe and as long as he kept fighting they would remain that way. However if he stopped fighting they would again be put in harm's way unless he took the deal. He knew there was little chance of them leaving while he stayed to fight. They were too stubborn. He couldn't take the deal it would go against everything he fought for…but maybe he could use this deal as leverage.
"How smart are you?" Phineas asked after a brief pause
"What?" Baljeet didn't know what he was getting at
"Well if I am going to join you then I would like to know what you have to offer" Phineas stated and tuned out the protests of Isabella and Ferb
Baljeet smiled as he thought he had him
"I can create anything you can imagine with absolute 100% perfection. I can ensure safety for you friends and family. I will make you famous beyond anyone in history. All you have to do is join me" Baljeet offered his hand
"And what would my first project be? Obviously you wouldn't ask if you didn't have a plan or project" Phineas made his way to his feet and started walking towards Baljeet
"You are intelligent. Very well, the first project I have for you is destroying the OWCA. You can spare the animals lives if you wish I just want them out of my way so I can go about my business uninterrupted" Baljeet kept his hand extended as he explained his plan
"Would I work on new devices like that watch of yours?" Phineas was getting to his point
"Do not make me laugh. You could not create such a complicated device in your life time" Baljeet laughed
"What's so complicated about it" Phineas almost had it
"It is the source of my power. Without it I would not be able to walk properly as it powers my leg" Baljeet started thinking
"So it is how you move fast?" Phineas was a few feet away now
"Of course not. The power source would not last long enough. It merely powers my leg and a few other devices" Baljeet suddenly stopped
"What devices" Phineas probed
"I'm through talking. Are you with me or not?" Baljeet extended his hand to Phineas who was now in range.
Phineas noticed the hand that was extended was the hand wearing the watch. Phineas knew
Phineas knew Baljeet had caught on but why was he still willing to shake his hand? He must have figured out he had been probing him for information to try and find a weakness, although he did find one. If he took out the watch then there was nothing Baljeet would be able to do to beat him. Even if he disappeared he would be unable to walk very far and Phineas would be able to predict where he would reappear. But if Baljeet knew this then why was he still willing to shake his hand.
"Do. We. Have. A. Deal?" Baljeet asked again
Phineas knew it was now or never. He had to hope Baljeet was bluffing and did not have a counter attack.
Phineas shook his hand
"Deal" Phineas knew it was a mistake
Baljeet smiled and out of nowhere the room sowed down.
"What?" Phineas looked around
"Time stands still for a few seconds" Baljeet grabbed Phineas by the throat
"We had a deal" Phineas protested
"I just wanted you to think you could outsmart me. You were going after the watch were you not?" Baljeet asked still holding Phineas' hand and throat with different hands
Phineas hesitated for a moment and then relented
"Yes" Phineas admitted
"And how did that work out?" Baljeet smiled
The room began to quicken until time caught up to them. Isabella's screams at what she saw were the last thing Phineas heard before time slowed again
"Sorry about that. I assumed we had more time" Baljeet started tightening his grip around Phineas throat
Desperately Phineas used his one free hand to claw at Baljeet's hoping to cause him to released his grip
"It's useless" Baljeet laughed
"Sho ar shooo" Phineas gasped
"What?" Baljeet released his grip a fraction to allow him to speak
"So are you" Phineas responded
Quickly using his free hand Phineas jammed his thumb into Baljeet's eye.
"AHHHHHHH" Baljeet tried to let go of Phineas' hand to tear the hand out of his face but he noticed Phineas now held on tighter. He had no choice
Releasing his grip around the throat, Baljeet clawed Phineas' hand out of his face. As Baljeet recovered from the shock Phineas kicked him in the gut. Baljeet let out a huff of air as the kick landed and was now furious.
Readying himself Baljeet threw a kick of his own with his reinforced leg. That's when he felt his hand shoot down. Phineas was going to block the attack with his hand.
"You can break my hand but I'll kill you right after" Baljeet assumed Phineas aimed to break his hand
"Not if you can't move" Phineas smiled
Baljeet looked down with his one good eye. Shock filled his features as he realised what Phineas was doing.
"You son of a…" The kick connected
The reinforced exoskeleton slammed into their wrists so hard both were broken if not fractured. However the victory went to Phineas. The watch had been destroyed.
"MY LEG…I CANNOT MOVE MY LEG" Baljeet was in all out panic mode now as he could no longer effectively move
"I win" Phineas smiled triumphantly as he realized how difficult it would be for Baljeet to move now that his leg was weighing him down.
Phineas' smile didn't last long as he saw something form in his opponents eyes. It was the look of horror and revenge. Something was not right.
"Don't act tough. You've been beaten. Admit it" Phineas was trying to figure out why Baljeet seemed to have a fighting spirit left in his eyes.
"I am not acting tough. I just never assumed it would come to this. You won't make it out of here alive" Baljeet smiled
"What are you talking about?" Phineas reached out and grabbed Baljeet
"You really are stupid" Baljeet got a stupid smile on his face "The watch has a default trigger that goes off if it is destroyed" Baljeet began chuckling
"WHAT DEFAULT TRIGGER?" Phineas screamed as Isabella and Ferb finally approached him
Didn't you ever stop to wonder where the real power was coming from? The power I was drawing on to use my little teleportation device" Baljeet laughed when he saw the look on Phineas' face that said "no"
"YOU FOOL" Baljeet laughed harder before regaining control "It puts the fusion core under this arena into overdrive and in the end it will cause an explosion" Baljeet got out between fits of giggles
"WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!" Phineas dropped Baljeet
"You won't make it. The explosion is imminent and with spider-web through the tunnels faster than you can run. This is it Phineas. Me and you are about to make our final journey" Baljeet laughed harder
"What Final journey?" Isabella looked to Phineas
"He's talking about us going to hell" Phineas started looking around the room. He needed something, anything that would stop the explosion.
Eyeing his surroundings his eyes landed on a button on the far wall. That's it.
"You guys get to the tunnel entrance" Phineas took off
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Isabella screamed
"To close the door, If I can close it then maybe it will delay the explosion long enough for us to escape" Phineas called back
"Come on" Ferb tugged Isabella towards the entrance
"You won't make it you fool" Baljeet kept taunting Phineas
He ran so fast he thought his heart would explode. Yet he still had to make it from one side of the room to the other before the door closed. He was cutting it close and he still didn't know how fast the door closed. If it was instant then he will have signed his death warrant. He was just hoping luck would remain on his side.
Phineas reached the button and glanced back. Isabella and Ferb were at the door waiting and Baljeet was off to the side clawing at his leg. Obviously the shock of reality set in and this was his last attempt to live. Phineas pushed the button.
To his delight the door that sealed off this room from the other tunnels was massive and closed very slowly. Now was his chance.
Phineas took off running towards his friends. He looked up and saw Buford had just made it back.
"Buford where have you been?" Isabella asked after he ran up behind them
"In and out of every room. I got lost. Where's dinner bell? What's happening?" Buford was a cluster of questions
"We'll explain later" Ferb assured him
"HURRY PHINEAS" Isabella begged as she saw he was still more than half way across the room.
"I'm coming Izzy" Phineas tried to control his breathing
"Izzy?" Isabella suddenly felt happy. As if everything was going to be all right.
"He never forgot about you or stopped thinking about you. He has held onto the innocence of you to help him become a better man" Ferb smiled
"I know…I think this will work out" Isabella smiled
Almost there just keep running. Phineas kept repeating that to himself as he was approaching the door. He was going to make it. They would survive this and they would go back to the innocent lives they lived.
"I won" Phineas said aloud
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH" Baljeet tackled Phineas with such force to send them both falling to the ground. "BROKEN ANKLE OR NOT I AM TAKING YOU TO HELL WITH ME!" Baljeet wrapped his arms around Phineas and held him down
"PHINEAS!" Isabella went to run but was held back
"LET GO! WE CAN STILL SAVE HIM!" Isabella begged Ferb
"It's too dangerous. Look at the door" Ferb nodded
Isabella looked up and noticed the door was over half way closed.
"If we both go we can pry Baljeet off of him and get him back here before the door closes. Please Ferb you have to try" Isabella tried very hard to convince him
"We…might be able to" Ferb agreed
"That should be enough. Even the slightest chance we have to take" Isabella pleaded
Ferb knew it was now or never. He had to make a choice. The choice was clear. They had to try
"Ok. Isa…"
"BUFORD! GET THEM OUT OF HERE!" Phineas' voice rang out as Ferb began to speak.
"WE AIN'T LEAVING YOU DINNER BELL" Buford called back
"BALJEET WON'T LET GO. PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE" Phineas yelled
"Let's go" Ferb said as he and Isabella started to run.
"WHAT?!" Isabella and Ferb got yanked back.
"Sorry guys. I ain't losing more friends today" Buford held them back as the door closed
"BUFORD LET ME GO" Isabella screamed at him
"Sorry girly" Buford didn't hide the sorrow in his voice
"ISABELLA" Phineas' words stopped her dead in her tracks "Don't worry about me. I had a feeling I would die today. But before I go I want to ask you something" Phineas smiled wider than ever before
"What?" Isabella was crying so hard now that she didn't even acknowledge Buford set her on the ground.
"I want to know…" The door closed
"PHINEAS!" Isabella threw herself against the door and started clawing at it "PHINEAS COME ON. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO ASK ME. WHAT IS IT?" Isabella fell to her knees "What is it?"
"I think now is as good a time as any" Ferb walked up to Isabella "He made this for you" Ferb showed her
"Ferb is that?" Isabella cupped her hands over her mouth
Ferb just nodded
A large explosion rocked the cave they were standing in but the massive door held.
"Phineas" Isabella called out as fresh tears ran down her face
(Inside the Coliseum)
"I want to know…" The door closed
"HAHAHA YOU WILL NEVER GET TO TELL HER YOU LOVED HER. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE ALONE; JUST LIKE ME" Baljeet laughed as he squeezed Phineas' chest tighter
"Let me go" Phineas jammed his elbow into Baljeet's face to which Baljeet laughed
"AHHHH" Baljeet released his grip
"I didn't throw that hard of an elbow" Phineas looked at Baljeet and noticed a burn mark on his hand
Looking down Phineas saw the conductor to his power supply sparking. Obviously overloading with power.
Wait! Overloading with power.
Phineas ran up to the door. He could hear Baljeet crawling but he did not care.
"Izzy. I love you and what I wanted to ask was…"
The explosion rocked the interior of the coliseum. Debris and rocks fell from the walls and ceiling. Covering the two people inside in a stone tomb. The last words Phineas heard before blacking out came from Baljeet.
His scream of terror put Phineas to sleep.
The next thing Phineas saw…A white light.
Phineas smiled
"Onto my next journey"
