sorry if this is kind of all over the place. i promise i'm trying to end this thing. it's been going on for far too long but i don't want a stupid ending.
"So what's it going to be, Jimmy? Your world or his?"
Jimmy looked at Timmy as Anti-Cosmo smiled an evil smirk through the camera. Timmy looked like he had gotten beaten up from the black eye he was sporting and what could have been a busted lip under the gag. He then looked over at his friends, one unconscious and three of them tied up and victims. Then he saw Nick and turned his head at that.
"What's up with him? I thought he was your lackey?"
James made a face and looked at Nick, giving a dismissing wave.
"Oh, that idiot? Yeah, he was just a pawn to get things going for me. He would do anything if you told him you agreed to his terms. I can't believe you let this guy bully you when you were younger. What a tool."
"So you... what? Statued him?"
"I got him out of the way. What the hell does it matter? He's of no concern. You haven't answered my question at all."
Jimmy made a face and then sighed. "Well, what is it that I could do to save both worlds?"
Timmy grunted angrily as the others did the same in protest. James grinned evilly and leaned on the table.
"What could you do to save both worlds, eh? That is a loaded question… Anti-Cosmo, you have an idea?"
Anti-Cosmo moved his monocle around and then tapped his finger to his chin.
"Well… He is quite the busybody if I remember from one of our encounters a while back. He broke through to another world, this world, and caused havoc here… I say getting rid of him will benefit both of our causes, James."
"That was what I was thinking. So… I guess the only option for you, Jimbo, is to give yourself over to me so I can give you over to Anti-Cosmo along with Buck Toothed Hannah over there and rid both worlds of the idiots who believe they can save them."
"How… does that save anything?"
"It doesn't! It just kills two birds with one stone!"
"Then what is the point of negotiating with you?" Jimmy growled.
"Let me put it this way, Jimmy." James said, walking over and throwing his arm around Jimmy's shoulders. "You and Timbo over there sacrifice yourselves as martyrs or heroes or whatever it is that you think will make you feel better to call yourselves, and I'll make a deal with you. Instead of taking over this world, I'll help Anti-Cosmo take over Fairy World and then let the Pixies take over Timmy's Earth. How's that sound?"
"Did you think I would really fall for that?" Jimmy growled, throwing James' arm from his shoulders. "I said save both worlds, not one!"
"Oh, silly fudge headed boy, you can't think you can have your cake and eat the icing too, do you? You are at a crossroads, my boy. You can't save both worlds. Either your Earth is taken, or Timmy's. Timmy's is already tainted with Fairy magic and mystical intrusions while your Earth is still pure and unadulterated. By taking the offer that James has proposed, your Earth will continue to stay the same with no hint of a magical presence. Science will prevail… oh, but you won't be in it."
"That's right. The only James Isaac Neutron that will exist in this world is going to be me and that's all anyone is going to know. The Cool Jimmy, the better Jimmy."
"Time is of the essence, child. Your world or Timmy's?"
Jimmy looked at all of his friends again. Think, Jimmy! There has to be something! THINK!
"Jimmy!" Jimmy looked up at the screen as Timmy looked at him, the gag around his neck where he had pushed it off. "Hey… Don't worry about it. You don't have to make a decision."
"What do you mean?"
Timmy looked at Anti-Cosmo. "If I give myself up, will you allow James to take over my Earth?"
"What?! No, that's not an option!" Jimmy screamed.
"Hmm… that's quite up to James…"
"Timmy, don't-"
"Shut up, Nerdtron!" He looked at James. "Well? If I give up, that means that the Anti-Fairies will take over Fairy World but you can have my Earth. It's already messed up anyway because of the Pixies. You can coordinate with them on how to rule and all sorts of stuff… they're pretty good at it…"
"Why would I want your Earth? I want this Earth…" James mumbled.
"My Earth will have magical elements that can make your ruling beyond anything anyone has ever seen. Think about it! You'll have powerful Pixies and powerful Anti-Fairies on your side towards making chaos and having the perfect rule. Not only that, you'll even have control over all the Fairies who don't submit to you and Anti-Cosmo's rules. Magic is much better than science, by far. Do you really want to limit yourself to that boring Earth over there? Besides, what would really get Jimmy is seeing me defeated. Friendship and all that stupid silly stuff."
James made a face as Jimmy just blanched at Timmy. Timmy stared back without any expression, but Cindy realized something. She turned her head at the screen and then looked down at the table. There was a small vial full of the serum that Jimmy had made from the residue of Cosmo and Wanda's magic that James had brought. An empty syringe was next to it. If she could just get to it…
Sheen sat up, shaking a little from the literal shock he just encountered. He put his hand on his head, trying to get his bearings, when he spied Cindy staring at him hard. He went to say something when she shook her head hard and then motioned for him to come over to her. Libby looked at her and made a face under the gag. Sheen narrowed his eyes at her but walked over and moved the gag.
"Listen to me carefully, Sheen." She whispered. "I need you to find a way to attack James and then inject a syringeful of serum into him. We need to trick him into saying something stupid that gets everyone out of this mess."
"But how will I tell Timmy?"
"Tap your ear and your mouth and then your ear again. Maybe he will be able to understand and get something wished."
"But I don't see Cosmo or Wanda there."
"He'll let you know if they are there. Just see what you can do. If not, still attack James and we'll get him to say something."
"I'll try… I hope I don't dope out." He said with a small smile.
Libby made a noise and motioned for him to come to her. He put Cindy's gag back on her and then went to Libby. He pulled hers down and she moved forward locking lips with him. He was taken off guard and pulled away. Carl just breathed in deeply in defeat beside her. He'd talk to her after all is done.
"Libby-"
"Forget what Cindy said." Cindy gave her a glare. "You're a werewolf… Do what werewolves do…"
Sheen thought for a second and then gave a look to her. She nodded and he looked at his hands for a second.
"You… you really want me to bite him?"
"Yes. Because then, you'll be the alpha and betas have to listen to their alphas. Do it…"
Sheen looked at Cindy and although she gave another glare to her friend, she nodded in agreement. He sighed and looked back over his shoulder.
"Aqui va nada…" he said under his breath.
"Stop it! Stop right now!" James growled, throwing himself between the TV and Jimmy. "You're just procrastinating the inevitable. You have to choose what you want to do right now! You either sacrifice yourself for this Earth or Timmy can sacrifice himself for his Earth. I don't care now! I want an Earth to rule and I want someone to be out of my god damn way when I rule it!"
Timmy breathed in and looked back at Jimmy when he saw Sheen sneaking up behind James. He moved his eyes back to Jimmy and then cleared his throat.
"Fine. Jimmy, I'll let you sacrifice yourself. If I recall, you're the one that got everyone into this mess in the first place."
"What?"
"I mean, if you hadn't stolen the residue of my Fairies then none of this would have happened."
"What the- If I recall, you're the one who hacked into my universe and tried to play a death game on my dog!"
"Well how was I supposed to know that a metallic dog wasn't a game console with a cool cover on it? I mean, for real, who owns a metal dog?"
"I think you two should stop trying to fool me before someone gets injected."
Timmy and Jimmy looked over as James held Sheen in a headlock, a syringe full of the magic liquid pressed against his neck.
"I didn't want to have to make threats to people I don't even care about, but if that's how I'll get a friggin answer, then that's what I'll do. Now, somebody better sacrifice themselves or I'll pump this into your friend and make him wish for something that can't be taken back."
"Do it." Sheen said.
James looked at him as he smiled a little.
"Seriously… If you do, I'll be able to make myself better. I don't mind."
"You're a horrible hostage… In fact, screw it." He sunk the plunger into the syringe, injected the serum into Sheen. "You think you're smart enough to outwit me? Think again, you stupid mutt."
Sheen wrenched away from him and growled.
"I'm not a mutt."
"You're not anything useful, that's for damned sure. Why not make yourself helpful and wish for something better?"
"I'm not as stupid as I used to be."
"Really? I think you overestimate yourself, Dog. I bet you wish you could be with you cute little chocolate lover over there, huh? You wish you were all nice and mentally better so that she will be with you again, right?"
"Shut up."
"Oh, did I hit a nerve? Come now, Sheen, you have to concede that you'll never be good enough for her. Nothing you do will ever be in her league. You were a dumbass before you got yourself sent to another planet, you were a dumbass when you came back, and you're a dumbass now with a dumbass ability to turn into a dumbass wolf. You have accomplished nothing with your life."
"I wish I didn't have to hold back so that I could kill you." Sheen snarled.
James grinned. "As usual, you are a foregone conclusion. I wonder how this will pan out."
"SHEEN, YOU IDIOT!" Timmy and Jimmy both screamed.
and good job sheen. way to make things extremely complicated. to be honest, i forgot kind of where i was going with this towards the end but i think this will do
