Phineas and Ferb
The New Adventures of Phineas and Ferb
Episode 30: Trial By Warfare Part III
Episode Summary: Part 3 of a new 4 part special event. Commandant Spangler and his army of cadet trainees arrive in Danville, in order to help with the search to find Phineas & get him back from Mr. Flynn & Dr. Doofenshmirtz. But what happens next will change Danville's history forever. Plus, with Perry's secret out, how will Phineas take it? And will Perry have to be relocated?
Disclaimer: Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me. It belongs to the two geniuses Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. Keep up the good work, gentlemen!
There's just so many days of adolescence vacation
'Til adulthood and old age come to end it,
So the problem for children of this generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it
Like maybe...
Building a rocket, or fighting a mummy,
Or climbing up the Eiffel tower,
Discovering something that doesn't exist,
Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves, creating nano-bots,
Or locating Frankenstein's brain,
Finding a Dodo bird, painting a continent,
Or driving the adults insane
This could possibly be the best day ever,
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
a million and six times better,
So make every minute count
jump up, jump in and seize the day,
And let's make sure that in every single possible way,
Today is Gonna to Be a Great Day!
Phineas struggled vigorously to get out of his trap. He, along wilth Perry, were trapped in two of Doofenshmirtz's "Self Attaching Belts", belts that stuck to any and all surfaces. But that wasn't all. They were also tricked out by Mr. Flynn so that every time they tried to escape, they would unleash a small electric shock to them that would get stronger with each instance. In fact, they were due for another one.
The collars lit up, and only seconds later, bolts of black lightning shot from both collars, electrocuting both of them. Still, they continued struggling to get out. "Struggle all you want, son." Mr. Flynn said with an evil chuckle. Because the more you do, the more pain you'll feel." His voice had become noticeably more malicious as time passed. "And the same goes for your little platypus friend over there."
"Dad, why are you doing this?" Phineas asked, as he stopped his struggles for the moment. "I thought you and I were OK."
"We're OK. But I still have a bone to pick with your mother. And what better bait to lure her here than her very own son?" Mr. Flynn was all for using his own son as bait to get back at his ex-wife. Dr. Doofenshmirtz, however, wasn't totally for it.
"Uh, are you...are you sure that, you know, this is a good idea?" Dr. Doofenshmirtz asked sheepishly. "I mean, I don't really feel comfortable with using one of my ex-girlfriends' son as bait when..."
"Oh put a sock in it, Doof n' Puss!" Mr. Flynn snapped at the evil scientist. "What kind of evil villain are you if you're not even willing to get a little dirty once in a while?"
"Hey, that's not true. I build giant machines that...that do stuff..."
"And always fail in the end." A voice, Norm the Robot, said from the other room. Norm was stored in Doofenshmirtz's closet, away from the action.
"Norm, shut up! You're in there for a reason!" He shouted, turning to his room. Phineas looked on, confused as to what happened, virtually because he had never met Norm before. Doofenshmirtz chuckled as he slowly turned back to Mr. Flynn. "Heh heh. Don't mind him. He's just a pest."
But Mr. Flynn was not impressed at all, and his already low opinion of him had gotten even lower. "You're a disgrace to villains everywhere. Anyway, now that the call has been made, it's time for Phase 2 of "Operation: Ultimate Vengence"." He walked over to Perry & Phineas, and with his remote, administered an electric shock that was short, but powerful. But it was strong enough to knock the two out cold temporarily. They screamed for a moment before passing out. Then he proceeded to take off their electrodes and carry them over his shoulder.
"Wait a minute. What are you doing? You're freeing them!" Doofenshmirtz didn't really understand what was happening. Granted, he didn't see the short electric shock that knocked Phineas & his platypus out.
"Did you not see the electric shock the collars administered to them to knock them unconscious, you moron!" He snarled. "I have a big surprise in store for the Tri-State Area, and I want these two to have front row seats to the biggest show in the Tri-State's history. But, we're going to have to go to the roof to make it happen." He turned to the door and started making his way to the staircase that led to the roof. Doofenshmirtz, still confused, followed close by.
Meanwhile, back on Maple Drive, commotion was arising over the stunning call Linda received from her Ex-husband, Jerry Flynn (AKA Mr. Flynn)
"Now what?" Vivian asked. "So we know who might have Phineas. But we still don't know where he is. It's like we're no closer to finding him now than we were this morning."
"Yeah, and I'm starving. I haven't had anything since breakfast." Isabella said, noting her growling stomach. "I could certainly go for some pizza or potato...chips...wait a minute. That's it! THAT'S IT!" She shouted, believing that she had finally gotten an idea on how to find her future husband. "Mom! Mom, I need you to run home and get me my satchel that's in my closet."
"Why, mijita?"
"No time to explain. Just go!"
"I'm on it!" Vivian took off for her house, ran up to Isabella's room, grabbed said satchel, and came back out in record time.
"How's your stupid purse going to help us find Dilweed?" Buford questioned in his usual smug attitude. He thought Isabella was wasting her time, when in reality, she was pulling out a device that could help find Phineas.
"Shut up, Buford!" She impatiently yelled, pulling out a black box, with a screen on it. It was a portable GPS tracking device. "Aha! Here it is. I can't believe I forgot about you."
"Forgot about what!" Baljeet questioned, in a much more patient tone than Buford.
"This, my friends, is a GPS tracking device that can track anyone, anywhere, anytime. But it only works on certain people, people that had computer chips inside their skulls."
"And how's that gonna help us?"
"Well, a few years ago, after Phineas got lost in the Super Duper Mega Superstore, I decided to implant a small computer chip into his brain, so I would be able to track his every movement with this tracking device. Of course, I haven't needed to use it...until now."
"So you're saying this thing could help us find my son?" Linda questioned, with mixed emotions boiling. She was a bit angry that this hadn't been brought up before, but she was also a bit relieved, knowing that there was now hope they could find him. "Why didn't you bring this up before, Isabella?" She asked, trying very hard to maintain her composure.
"I was in a panic. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Isa. The important thing is that now we'll be able to find Phineas." Vivian pointed out.
"Let's hope the thing still works." Ferb said. "After all, I was the one that built this thing in the first place."
Isabella turned the device on, and waited a few moments for it to turn on. "Oh yeah, I forgot. This thing takes forever to turn on. Hang on, it should be coming up." The static that was on the screen quickly disappeared, and revealed a map of the entire Tri-State Area, and a small, red dot, indicating Phineas's location. "Yes! Got it!"
"So? Where is he?" Irving asked.
"According to this, Phineas is held in a building called "Doofenshmirtz...Evil...Incorporated." Isabella read aloud.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!
"Oh yeah. I know that place. It's the building that has all those lousy jingles." Buford said. "Every time I walk by that lame building, a jingle plays. It makes no sense, though."
"Well, whatever the case, Phineas is there. And now that we know where he is, we can go and get him before something really bad-" Isabella slowly trailed off when they heard & saw a bunch of buses coming up the street. They didn't know it yet, but the bus was filled with military cadets. And, not just any cadets, but Commandant Edwin Spangler's cadets. The doors of the buses slowly opened, and the cadets all piled out, Spangler being first, though. Candace was the last one to exit out of all the buses, but as soon as she did, all of the kids started cheering, and they ran up to her to give her a hug.
"Whoa, easy, kids. Easy on the outfit." She said in a very sarcastic, but rather jokingly tone. She sounded much more relaxed now than she did the last time they saw her.
"Candace, what are you doing back here?" Isabella asked.
"I don't know. Spangler didn't say."
"Yeah, what isshe doing back here?" Linda asked Spangler suspiciously. Not that she wasn't happy to see her own daughter; she just had curiosity.
"We're here because somebody is in Danville that could very well threaten all of our very lives." Spangler explained strongly. "This man is dangerous. He has been known to blow up buildings, such as hospitals & police stations, ruin people's lives by taking what means most to them, and...he always leaves the toilet seat up."
"Oh my gosh, he sounds evil." Irving said, in a slightly sarcastic tone, mainly directed towards that last comment. (I mean, come on. Who doesn't leave the toilet seat up every once in a while)
"Exactly my point, boy."
"Well, that's something I could definitely believe." Linda said firmly. At this point, she was so angry at her ex-husband that if anybody tried to tell her otherwise, she would refuse to believe it. "We all think he has my son held hostage."
"W-What!" Candace shrieked out. She really wanted to see Phineas, since they were all coming to Danville anyway. So it came as a bit of a slap-in-the-face when she heard that Phineas was missing. "Phineas has been kidnapped!"
"That's what we think. And we think his own father did it."
"You mean...your ex-husband, Mom?"
"Exactly."
"Well, what are we all doing standing around? Let's go find him!" Tara remarked, eager to get Phineas back. She didn't know him personally, but she knew how much Candace cared about him.
"Well, now that we knew just where Phineas is, I think it's about time we did that!" Isabella shouted, holding the GPS tracking device. "Here. It's a GPS tracking device that gives Phineas's current location. Thank goodness I installed a chip in his skull all those years ago."
Candace walked over to Isabella to get the GPS device, and that's when she noticed her foot. "Isabella, what happned to your foot?"
"Long story."
"OK...well, come on, guys! We've got a little boy to..." She turned back to Isabella, slightly confused. "Wait a second. You installed a computer chip in my little brother's skull? When he was little!"
"Yeah...hey, when you get a man, you do not want to let him go!" Isabella said proudly, thinking about what life will be like when Phineas when they grow up. "Ain't nobody takin' my man away from me!"
"OK..." Candace turned to her fellow cadets & Spangler. "Alright, troops, we've got a missing boy on our hands, and a possible crazy man holding him hostage in a possibly abandoned building filled with failure and obsession. I must warn you guys, this will probably be our more dangerous mission yet. But for the sake of my little brother, failure is not an option! Now follow me!" She turned around and started to make her way up the street, but was stopped by a smug cadet who didn't think she knew what she was doing.
"Why should we follow you?" He exclaimed angrily, giving her some lip.
"Have youever been to Danville? Have you ever seen the sights the town has to offer? Do you have a little brother who does crazy things every day like building a roller coaster or making a camera that splits an object into its original components!" (Split Personality)
"Uh...no."
"Then keep your mouth shut and let me talk, or I'll have Spangler demote you to toilet duty. Got me, punk?" She screamed at him. The boy kept his mouth closed and didn't even respond, scared of her. Everybody else, though, was surprised at how seriously Candace was taking this. "Good. Now, move out! Come on, go!" She shouted, pointing in the direction they needed to go. The troops, all wanting to avoid getting yelled at by Candace, obeyed and rushed in that direction, holding their weapons. "Move it! No slacking!"
Commandant Spangler was quite impressed with Candace's change in attitude. Everybody, even Linda, was impressed as well (though Linda was slightly less impressed than everybody else). "Well, looks like you've done a great job with my daughter." She finally admitted. She still didn't like the fact that her daughter was training in the military. But, she supported her regardless.
"Why thank you, Linda."
"While I don't exactly like the fact that she's with you right now, I'll support her with whatever she decides to do. As long as she doesn't go crazy like her father did."
"You meant she wasn't before?" He asked, sort of jokingly, referring to how Candace was when she first started her training at the beginning of summer. Linda glared at him for a brief moment, but then conceded, realizing that he was almost completely right about that.
Meanwhile, down under, in the building of the O.W.C.A, Major Monogram was watching TV, minding his own business, while Carl was busy updating his website. Since all of the agents, with the exception of Perry, had the day off, they felt no need to check up on them. But that feeling changed for both of them when Monogram's screen went black, and then started flashing red. "What in the world?" It turns out that the red flashing means that an agent on duty has sent out a "Red Alert Distress Signal". That means that the agent is in a difficult situation and requires assistance.
"Is that the "Red Alert Distress Signal"?" Carl asked. "But the only agent on duty today is Agent P. And Dr. Doofenshmirtz isn't that much of a threat."
"Something else must be going on. Hold on." Monogram started typing some stuff in on his computer, and in no time at all, the screen turned to static, then went black. After that, a picture slowly started coming up, and the picture appeared to be moving around a little bit. "OK, I'm getting something."
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"I've hacked into Agent P's "Hat cam", a camera that I cleverly installed into his fedora the other day. If Agent P's been captured, we'll know where he's been taken to." The picture finally came up in its entirety, showing, from Perry's view, that he had been taken to the rooftop of a building. Of course, from where Perry was, they couldn't exactly make out the exact building. But since Dr. Doofenshmirtz had always been Perry's nemesis, they kinda had a good idea, and their suspicions were prove. "Great googly-moogly! It looks like Agent P's been captured by Doofenshmirtz!"
But just as they thought things couldn't get worse, they did. Perry turned his head weakly to his left, and so did the camera, showing them that Phineas had also been captured. "And it looks like Agent P's owner has been captured as well."
"Oh this is bad, Carl. Very, very bad. For one thing, that boy may or may not have discovered that his pet platypus is a top secret agent."
"And another thing, Doofenshmirtz might be threatening Agent P by using the boy as a scapegoat." Monogram turned around and looked at Carl strangely. He had never heard the word "Scapegoat" used in a sentence before. "What? Scapegoat? It's a word!"
"OK, then."
"So now what do we do?"
"Well, the way I see it, we have only one option." Monogram pressed some more buttons on his computer, then brought the microphone that was attached to the end of the table closer to him. "Calling all O.W.C.A. agents. We have a Code Red-Delta in progress. Agent captured, owner in hostage, & secret of the existance of the O.W.C.A threatened. You all must get over to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, find Agent P & his owner, and, if the owner should know about us, make sure his memory gets erased! Failure is not an option!" He hit a button to cut the communication.
"Sir, are you sure sending out all of our agents is a good idea?"
"What other choice do we have, Carl! Our future is at stake! Let's just pray that Agent P can find a way to escape whatever trap he's in before the other agents get there."
Speaking of Perry, he, along with Phineas, were still trapped in their upgraded "Self-Attaching Belts". They still struggled from time to time to get out, but spread out their attempts over time to avoid getting electrocuted. Only now, they were trapped on the room with Dr. Doofenshmirtz & Mr. Flynn, the latter walking to the edge of the platform, and looking straight up into the sky, embracing the beautiful air & the perfect sky. "Wonderful day for revenge, isn't it?" He remarked, to nobody in particular.
"I-I suppose so." Doofenshmirtz sheepishly answered anyway. "So...what are we doing up here anyway?"
"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing." Phineas barked up, his voice slightly weaker than before from the shocks.
"That, my dear boy, and Doofenshmirtz, is a secret. But I can tell you this much: You see, ever since I left my family all those years ago and I left the Tri-State Area, I have been plotting my ultimate revenge on the Tri-State Area. But I had a hard time coming up with a perfect plan. Finally, one day, while I was driving around in New York, and I came across a nuclear power plant, it finally hit me. Nuclear Waste. The very thing that nearly did me in. I was going to destroy the Tri-State Area with Nuclear Waste." Unfortunately, the way that he made it sound and the way everybody interpreted it was not the way Mr. Flynn planned to use it.
"Nuclear Waste?" Phineas asked. "But Dad, that was an accident."
"Yes, but everybody mocked me about it! And when I tried to tell my story, the news stations ridiculed me and called me a liar and a publicity hog. They wouldn't even let me show them the tattered skin to prove my point. When I tried to lift up my shirt to show my skin dissolving, they called the police, thinking I was trying to make a move on the female anchor. Even Mayor Doofenshmirtz mocked me! It was then that I decided to exact my revenge! So, I left town and decided to take a cross-country trip around America, visiting as many power plants as I could."
"I gathered as much waste as I could get my boney hands on. And, I've been storing them in a little box I like to call..." He pulled out a big computer screen, turned it on, and showed them a picture of a satellite that had a laser that was pointing down at the Earth. "My Super Satellite! I poured all of my collected waste into a compartment at the top of the satellite, then, I launched it into space - don't ask me how I accomplished that - just days ago, and I have aimed it at us. So at any time, I can activate my Satellite, then the Tri-State Area will feel the wrath of me, and will learn the dangers of mocking me!"
He started laughing maniacally, satisfied with his evil plan. Phineas, Perry, & Doofenshmirtz really didn't understand what exactly Mr. Flynn planned to accomplish, but all Phineas & Perry wanted to do was escape & get home. As Mr. Flynn was enjoying his laugh, he heard some faint shouting in the distance. "What is that annoying sound?" He questioned. He kneeled down to peer over the edge, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from. He pulled out a small telescope and got a better look at the city below him. To the side of the building, he saw a big group of teenagers up the street, starting to make their way closer to them. "Wait a second..." And he got a closer look of the leading teen, and saw that it was Candace. "That's my daughter!"
"Candace?" Phineas questioned, almost estatic to hear that name.
"What is she doing?" He exclaimed. "I can't let her penetrate the building. She'll ruin my plan!"
"Oh don't worry about that. I took extra precautions." Doofenshmirtz responded by jumping up and down twice on the roof. At first nothing happened, which made Mr. Flynn angry. But only a few more seconds later, a sturdy, 12 inch thick, 40 foot wall made of steel climbed up from underground, protecting the entire building, except for the roof, of course. Mr. Flynn observed this even happen, and was surprised that something of Doofenshmirtz's actually worked.
"Hey, what's going on?" Phineas asked, having heard the clanking that was the quick construction of the steel wall.
"You constructed this all by yourself?" Mr. Flynn asked.
"Yes. Yes I did. I call it the "Great Wall of Doofenshmirtz". What do you think?"
"Well...aside from the name, I must say, I'm very impressed. So, you can create a steel shield over the building, but you can't create a machine that produces paper!"
"Hey, don't judge me!"
Down on the ground, Candace and the others could see the wall quickly being built up to protect the building. "Wow! Where did that come from?" Candace asked to nobody in particular. "It must be at least a foot thick!"
"How the heck are we gonna get up there now?" Tara asked, the problem seeming too insurmountable to overcome. But Candace was not one to give up so easily. She vowed that she was rescue Phineas if it was the last thing she did. "If I'm not mistaken, there is nothing on the wall that we can climb on to scale up the building."
"Well, we have to think of something! We can't just leave my brother up there."
"Why not?" The same voice that criticized Candace earlier barked up again. And once again, Candace wasn't impressed at all, and walked up to the boy.
"Would you leave your little brother up there? Possible in danger?"
"Yeah! He's an annoying pest."
"That was a retorical question. Now keep your big mouth shut before I kick you off this squad! Got it, bub!" She screamed as loudly as she could. The thought of anybody hating her little brother or not wanting to make sure he was safe was something she would never tolerate, and the boy understood this immediately. Candace turned around back to the building. "Tara, do me a favor. If that bozo tries to get smart again, knock some sense into him."
"Yes, ma'am." Tara responded immediately.
"Now, how are we gonna get up there so we can rescue my brother?"
"I was gonna suggest we use some kind of grappling hook to get up there." One cadet piped up. "But then I noticed there's nothing for it to grab on to."
"Yeah, and on top of that, there's not nearly long enough rope for the hook to reach. There has to be some way for us to get up there and rescue Phineas. Come on, guys! Think!" She ordered as they all stopped for a moment to think of a way to climb up the steel wall and rescue Phineas. This task would prove to be much more difficult than anybody expected.
Meanwhile, back up on the roof, while Mr. Flynn was working on his plan, & Dr. Doofenshmirtz was watching, Phineas decided to have a little heart-to-heart with Perry. He turned to the platypus as best he could. Perry, though, didn't look back at him, fearful of what Phineas had to say. "So...you've been living a double life as a secret agent? A-And you fight this man who's supposed to be evil and who wants to take over the Tri-State Area?" Phineas wanted to make sure that he understood everything that he was told. But as he repeated these facts to Perry, he refused to look at Phineas.
Truth was, Perry was ashamed that he had to hide the fact that he was really a secret agent. But he knew that the risks were greater than the rewards for spilling it. "Come on, Perry. At least look at me. I know you can't talk. But at least let me know you're listening." Perry slowly turned his head towards Phineas, still feeling shame. "See? I'm not mad at you. After all, considering the situation we're in, I probably understand why you couldn't say anything before. I don't want you to go away. I don't want you to be relocated."
As time passed, and the years that Phineas owned Perry went by, Phineas was able to slowly understand what Perry says when he makes his growling noises. For instance, Perry made a growling noise after Phineas finished talking, and Phineas could instantly understand what he meant. Well, that's probably what is going to happen if we get out of this.
"I wish there was a way where I'd be able to keep you even though I know your secret now."
Perry growled again. There may be. But I'll have to talk with my boss about it.
"OK, then. So...Isabella's dog, Pinky...he's a secret agent too?"
Up by the edge of the platform, Mr. Flynn was busy with his little computer making some last-minute adjustments to the satellite that he had launched into space filled with nuclear waste. Dr. Doofenshmirtz was also helping him, but he got distracted from time to time by Perry's growls. "Boy, I wish I understood platypus. Do you have any idea what he is saying?"
"No, but it doesn't really matter." He said malevolently, pressing one final key on his keypad, and taking a step back. "Because in just 10 minutes, the Tri-State Area will have met its match! Nothing will be able to stop me from getting my revenge! Especially that traitor who I used to call my wife!"
"Easy, man. So she didn't believe you when you tried to tell her of a life-threatening condition. Get over it!" Doofenshmirtz urged him.
"Why should I? Back then, ff she told me she had a stomach ache, I would've scrambled to get her to the hospital. But now, I wouldn't even spit in her face."
"Eww. Why would you want to do that?"
"I don't." He turned back to his son, who had stopped struggling at this point. "You know, Phineas. You should consider yourself lucky. In just a few minutes, you are going to see the dawn of a new age."
"Dad, I don't have the slightest idea of what you mean by that, but I just want you to know that I approve of none of this!"
"I understand, son. I didn't think you would. But then, you're in no position to do anything about it. Remember, should you try to escape, the electrode will unleash a powerful electric shock that will rock your world."
"I know that!"
Down below on the ground, while the group of cadets were trying to think of a way to reach the top of the building to save Phineas, another group of people, this time, consisting of the kids & adults of Maple Drive, as well as Spangler, were seen running up the street towards the cadets. "Candace!" Isabella yelled, making her way up the street as quickly as her arms would let her move her crutches.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" Candace yelled, but not loudly enough to draw unwanted attention to herself. "I thought you'd be back at home, waiting for us to bring Phineas home."
"I still say this is a waste of time!" The same cadet who shunned Phineas earlier barked up again, prompting Tara to slap him upside his head.
"You didn't think we'd miss a chance for a rescue mission did you?" Irving inquired.
"Or for a chance to see my sister again." Ferb perked up, sparking "aww's" from the crowd of people.
"I don't care if he is your dad." Isabella yelled, adrenaline rising with every minute. "He is going to PAY for stealing my future husband! No one is gonna get in the way of my dream of marrying him!"
"Whoa, Isabella. Calm down."
"Calm down! How can I calm down when the boy I love so dearly is being held hostage by a man who used to be married to your mother!"
"I don't know. But try, because I don't want you freaking out like that when we get up there."
"How are we going to get up there anyway?"
"I'm not sure. We're trying to figure that out, actually. Our first idea was to use grappling hooks to climb up to the roof. But, there's nothing that we can attach our hooks to, since there's nothing on that steel wall to attach to. I don't suppose you got any ideas."
"Nope. I mean, it's not like we can just build a portable elevator that'll rise up 40 stories and get us to the top." Isabella said this sarcastically, not really meaning that. But, once she stopped, and thought about it for a moment, she believed that the idea could actually work. "Hey..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second, Isabella? How are we going to build a portable elevator that will take us up to the top of the building?"
"Hey, I haven't though about all the details yet. I did say it sarcastically, in case you didn't know. So now we just have to draw up a blue print to use to build our elevating platform or something along those lines." Isabella turned to Ferb. "Hey Ferb, you have anything off the top of your head?"
As a matter of fact, Ferb did. He pulled out a blue print for a rising platform and handed it to the girls to read. "Whoa, Ferb. This is amazing."
"We were going to build that next week." He said calmly.
"What are we waiting for, then? Let's get to work!" Candace shouted.
"But we don't have any of the supplies." Irving noted, seeing no delivery trucks near by and absolutely nothing they could work with. "How the heck are we supposed to build this contraption if we don't have any supplies!"
"You leave that to me." Ferb said again, taking out a cellphone and dialing a few numbers in. He refused to give up hope that they were get Phineas back home safely, and now it was a matter of getting the proper supplies for their invention, and it was a matter of getting the invention built before Mr. Flynn unleashed his evil plan.
Up on the rooftop, Mr. Flynn was watching the clock on his computer screen countdown, counting down to the activation of his satellite. "Only 7 more minutes." He said evily to himself. "Then...the entire Tri-State Area will feel my wrath, and they will all regret the day they ever decided to mock me! I will have me...wait a minute." His eye caught some action on the ground. "What are they doing down there?" He saw some delivery trucks pulling on right beside the kids, supplies being wheeled out, and cadets being ordered around.
"What's with the delivery trucks?" Doofenshmirtz questioned. "It's like they're having a party or something."
Delivery trucks? Phineas thought to himself. My friends...they must be here, too, trying to figure out a way to rescue me and Perry.
"For my sake, they better be holding a party. I will not have my perfect plan ruined by some snot-nosed brats, even if they are my son's friends.""
"Hey, don't talk about my friends that way!" The only thing that angered Phineas more than anything was when people talked down on his friends like Mr. Flynn just did.
"Silence, boy!" But Mr. Flynn wouldn't take back talk. He pulled out his remote, pressed a button, and unleashed an even stronger electric shock on Perry & Phineas, the latter screaming his head off as he took the damage.
Meanwhile, down on the ground, everybody could hear Phineas screaming. Candace looked up and could faintly see the lightning bolts coming from the electrodes that encased the platypus & the boy. "Whoa! Did anybody else see that lightning?"
"And hear that awful screaming!" Django pointed out, crossing his arms.
"They must be torturing Phineas with whatever they're doing up there." Linda said, with tears slowly forming in her eyes. Lawrence had to bring her close to him to keep her from going hysterical. "Oh, my poor baby!"
"Don't fret, Linda. We'll get him away from there and back to us where he belongs before you know it."
"Then let's stop wasting time and get this platform built! Who knows what they're planning to do next!" Isabella shouted, which prompted everybody around her to start hustling around to get the job done. Everyone quickly got organized, and, with everybody, even the parents, cooperating, they were able to finish the platform in just minutes. It was 10 feet wide by 12 feet long, and it was able to fit about 15 people on it at a time. "And...done!"
"Finally, it's finished." Tara remarked, wiping sweat from her brow. "And it only took 4 1/2 minutes and $30,000 worth of supplies."
"This is our cheapest project ever." Ferb remarked.
"Now, it can only fit up to 15 people at a time. So, we need to figure out who is going to go up there first to rescue Phineas. Candace," Isabella turned to Candace. "Why don't you and your...friends here, go up and get Phineas out of there?"
"Why us?" The same guy that's been giving Candace trouble so far barked up again, prompting Candace to order Tara to smack him upside the head. "What? I'm just saying..." Another smack. "Hey, that-" Another smack. "If you just let me-" Another smack. "I'll be quiet." He stayed silent for the rest of the procedure.
"Alright, guys. Line up on the platform. We've got a boy to rescue! Charge!" She shouted, as 14 other cadets, including Tara, charged onto the platform with their weapons, yelling "Charge!"
The commotion down on the ground caused Mr. Flynn to turn away from the sky, a sky that was only now being slowly covered in clouds. "What's that?" He rushed over to the side of the building and saw the platform slowly rising. "What in heavens! They've built a self-rising platform and are coming up to rescue their beloved friend. Well, they'll have to get through ME first!" He shouted, running back to his mini computer.
"What are you doing now?" Doofenshmirtz questioned again, curious with the constant running back and forth Mr. Flynn was doing.
"I'm going to speed up the countdown. It's time for the Tri-State Area..." He typed on some more keys on his keypad, then pressed on more, and suddenly, the clock, already at 3:30, began counting down rapidly. "...to pay!" The clock was already past 3 minutes within a heartbeat. The clouds continued to roll in as Mr. Flynn started laughing maniacally. The platform rose all the way up to the rooftop, and Candace, along with her troop members, jumped off onto the roof. Candace gasped upon hearing the laughter, recognizing immediately who it came from.
"Dad!" She shrilled, causing him to turn around briskly. At the sight of his daughter up close, he gasped as well. "What are you doing here!"
"Candace. You...You look so grown up." The last time Mr. Flynn had ever actually seen Candace up close was when he was about to leave, back when she was about 9 years old. "It's been so long."
"B-But...But Mom...sh-she told me you were dead."
"She did what! Oh, that's the last straw! Linda Flynn, you are so dead!" He screamed as the timer on the screen hit 0.
Candace looked to her side and saw Phineas & Perry bound by their belts, the latter looking a bit pale. "Oh my gosh! Phineas!"
"Candace!" Phineas shouted in delight and surprise as she rushed over to help him out, but found that getting either of the two out of their traps would be difficult.
"What's going on? Why does Dad have you and Perry tied up like this? And why is Perry wearing that silly hat?" Perry growled loudly, taking that as an insult.
"Well, it's kind of hard to explain. You see-"
"Then don't explain it." Mr. Flynn said strongly as the satellite fired from space, and shot down over 5,000 gallons of pure, untainted nuclear waste...onto Mr. Flynn. In no time at all, it splattered all over him, covering him from head to toe in nuclear waste. Everybody on the rooftop gasped, as did everybody who came up on the second platform trip, including the kids, Spangerl, Vivian, Lawrence, & Linda. The only one who didn't gasp was Linda. She did seem surprised, though.
"Who's the loser covered in waste?" She asked coldly, while everybody turned to stare at her angrily, feeling that she showed no sympathy at all.
"Why, Linda, you're not happy to see me?" Mr. Flynn said viciously, and only then did Linda gasp.
"Jerry? Is that you?"
"No, I'm the Muffin Man. Yes, it's me, you idiot!" His patience was quickly wearing thin with her. He clentched his fists angrily; they started faintly glowing purple, and nobody noticed.
"Mom!" Candace shouted in a mad tone as Isabella and the rest of the kids as well as some of the cadets worked feverishly to get Phineas & Perry free. "I can't believe you would stoop so low as to tell me that my own father had been dead for over 6 years!"
"She told you that!" Phineas barked up. "She told me that Dad had lost his mind and had gone to live in the circus!"
"WHAT?" By now, Mr. Flynn was furious. The glowing aura around his hands had changed from purple to blue. "Why you..."
"Now, Jerry, I know you're upset-"
"Upset! No, I'm furious! Linda, you told our own children complete and utter lies!"
"Well, I-I wouldn't have had to lie to them and kick you out if YOU hadn't told lies in the first place."
"I wasn't lying! ANd I'll prove it!" Without any thought, his hands stopped glowing temporarily as he rolled up both his sleeves and showed his boney arms. Everybody but Phineas, Doofenshmirtz, & Linda screamed and gasped at the sight. Many were disgusted, some were confused, but Linda...Linda was not amused. She jumped off the platform, shook her head, walked up to him, and put her hands on her hips.
"Really? That charade again?"
"What?"
"Jerry, your lies are really getting aggrivating, now. This is why I kicked you out in the first place! You tried to blame our kids and brainwash me into thinking that they spilled nuclear waste on you, which caused your..." She reached out to grab his arm hard, only to feel nothing but bone. Her grip loosened and her speech slowed. "arms to lose their...skin texture, leaving only bone and...oh my god!" She took her hand away and gasped, tears quickly forming in her eyes. "You were...You were telling the truth this whole time! And to think that the week before you left, I spent all of my time torturing you and making you feel miserable!"
"What are you talking about, Linda?" Lawrence asked.
Linda turned back to everyone. "The week before Jerry left, right after he said that he had been affected by the waste, and I didn't believe him, I decided to mess with him."
"How?"
"She put roaches & ants in all my meals," Mr. Flynn began, his hands beginning to glow blue again. "She made me take nothing but cold showers, and I couldn't get a minute of quality bed rest without having to listen to her talk in her sleep!" His hands were now glowing bright green.
"You mean it was a problem back then, too?" Ferb asked.
"Well, actually, I was merely pretending back then." Linda piped up, but, unfortunately for her, nobody bought it.
"Pretend?" Candace snorted, to which Lawrence agreed immediately. "That's the biggest lie you've ever told, Mom!"
"Alright, Candace. Enough!"
"Don't you dare yell at the kids, you big, fat obnoxious cow!" Mr. Flynn snarled at Linda, the aura around his hands changing from bright green to yellow. Linda took immediate note of this.
"Uh, Jerry, your hands...they're-"
"Quiet! I'm not done yet!"
"Jerry, please forgive me. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you and that I called you crazy. I-I guess...I don't know how to explain it!"
"I guess all your brain cells have traveled South for the winter, huh?" He joked, nudging his elbow into hers. At first, she didn't understand the joke. But when she looked down at her own waist, she knew exactly what he meant, and so did everybody else.
"I'm not fat!"
"Are you kidding! Do you own a mirror! Have you seen your own waist! I-"
"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute!" Candace intervened. "Wait a minute. Now Dad, I know that you and Mom don't really like each other."
"I despise this woman with every fiber that's left of my being!" He screamed, his hands beginning to change color again, this time, from yellow to orange.
"But you can't hold a grudge like this forever. I know what that's like. For years, I used to hold a strong grudge against Phineas, Ferb, & my Mom."
"You didn't like her either?"
"It wasn't exactly like that...see for years, Phineas & Ferb would do all these crazy things like building a boat of romance, traveling through time, going up into space, and making a unique and logic defying amalgam of Winter and Summer. They even traveled around the entire world in one day!"
"Which I thought was impossible." Buford randomly pointed out.
"I would also try to tell Mom about these. But every time I'd bring her to the scene, whatever they were working on would just disappear, mainly because either she'd move way too slowly or from an outside force."
So it is Perry's fault that all of our stuff disappears. Phineas thought to himself, looking in Perry's direction.
"But after a while, and after a lot of ordeals, which I won't go into detail about, I finally realized that I was wasting my life obsessing over what my brothers were doing or trying to convince my mom that I wasn't crazy. I realized that I should just live life as it is, and take whatever comes at me with a smile. And I think you should do the same, too. You need to forget about your troubles with Mom. If you spend your whole life thinking that our mom is a heartless woman, you'll never move on."
Everybody on the rooftop, even Mr. Flynn, thought that the speech Candace had given was inspiring. They were all impressed with how far Candace had come since the beginning of the summer. "That was very inspiring, Candace." Mr. Flynn said proudly. "You've obviously come a long way, and I couldn't be more proud. And you're right. Your mother isn't heartless. She's just dumb." And then he broke out into laughter for a quick moment, the only one to do so. And this lasted only a short time. "And for that, she must pay!" He shouted as he put his hands, now glowing red, out, and to everybody's shock, he shot out red energy bursts from his hands, knocking Linda back several feet, doing her much damage.
Everybody gasped, and Vivian & Lawrence even rushed to her aide. Then, all eyes turned back to Mr. Flynn, as a helicopter, that was filled with every one of the O.W.C.A's agents from all divisions, passed over them while the sky turned pitch gray. "Oh, and by the way, I knew my hands were glowing the whole time. This was my plan from the start!"
"It was?" Doofenshmirtz asked surprised by this revelation.
"Yes. You see, after I left and went on my own, it hit me. The reason why my skin burned was because the nuclear waste Phineas & I found was contaminated. I mean, it made sense. We were in the sewers after all. So, I figured "If tainted waste did this to me, what would pure, untainted waste do?" So I decided to go across the country, collecting only the purest, cleanest nuclear waste I could find. Then, I spent these past few years stocking my space satellite up with it to use on this very day."
"And as a result from the pure waste, you did the impossible...you acquired super natural abilities!" Isabella shouted out, having figured out what had happened.
"You catch on, quickly, little girl."
"So you were never planning to cover the Tri-State Area with nuclear waste, were you?" Phineas asked, still confused.
"Is that what you thought? Oh, no. I could never do that. It wouldn't work, anyway. Only nano-bots work like that. And besides..." He cackled. "This is much more fun. And now, I am going to do what I've set out to do for years: get my revenge on the Tri-State Area! But then...what's the fun in taking over a Tri-State Area..." He held his hands up to the helicopter above them, and shot out light pink energy blasts.
Pretty soon, they all saw the animals that were in the copter jump out and parachute down onto the roof, with their eyes glowing light pink. They were all under a hypnotic spell that Mr. Flynn cast them under. With his new found superpowers, he also gained the ability to take control of somebody's mind and make that person/animal his slave. "...without some help. In fact, why don't you join us, Perry?" He shot a light pink blast at Perry, and pretty soon, he was under Mr. Flynn's control. The platypus turned to Phineas and growled like a feral beast.
"P-Perry?" Phineas slowly stepped back, not wanting to become injured from his own pet.
"Pinky!" Isabella screamed, seeing her beloved Chihuahua also under Mr. Flynn's influence. All of the agents were wearing hats like Perry was, but, nobody questioned that, as they were all too stunned at what was currently happening. "What have you done, you fiend?"
"Ahh, my first "You fiend"." He said with a rather mellow tone. "Why, Isabella, I've made all of these animals my mindless slaves."
"You can do that?" Baljeet called out.
"Yes. Yes I can. And it doesn't work just on animals. Observe..." He held out his hand to Candace's face, and shot her a light pink blast. She closed her eyes for a brief moment. But then she opened them, now under his hypnotic spell as well. It was visible in her eyes as well; the outer part of the eye, the white part, turned light pink, just like the animals. "Candace, how would you like to take over the Tri-State Area and watch every one of your former friends suffer?"
"It would be a dream come true, master." She responded, her regular voice still retained, though its tone had changed dramatically, to the shock and dismay of her fellow cadets and Commandant Spangler.
"Let's see what your cadets think." He shot light pink bursts at her troop members as well as Spangler, and all the other troops that were still waiting on the ground.
"Your wish is our command, master." They all said in unison, even going as far as saluting him.
"Ha! I knew it! And now, with my own army..." Suddenly, lightning struck down from the skies. "Nothing will stop me from destroying the Tri-State Area! And now, there's just one final touch missing from this..." He took out two small black cubes and placed them onto the ground. Crushing them beneath his feet, he stuck his arms out to the side, and waited as the two cubes slowly transformed into a black, titanium suit that attached to his body. It formed from his feet, and it slowly went up his body, until it finally covered every part, encasing him in pure, black titanium. The only thing exposed was his head, and the back of it was even covered by a helmet.
He floated up into the air, with help from rockets installed into his feet that prepelled him. He turned back to everyone. "Everybody, I give you...my Super Human Super Suit 3000! This was originally meant to be used as a protective suit, but now...I'm using it to enhance my newly acquired powers ten fold! Just watch..." He held out his hands, and shot a green energy blast at the building, not only destroying the building itself, but the steel wall that covered it, and it also caused everyone to sink down with the rubble. All Mr. Flynn felt like doing was laughing evil as he watched everybody scream and suffer. His minions, however, escaped without a single scratch.
When all was said and done, everybody that did not escape was trapped under the rubble of what used to be Dr. Doofenshmirtz's evil lair, and that included Dr. Doofenshmitz. "Now you'll all think twice before mocking me ever again!" He said floating in the air, with his minions on the ground. He slowly floated back down to Earth, laughing. "Now, it's time for us to claim this Tri-State Area for ourselves! Now, my minions...CHARGE!" He shouted, as he and his minions marched deep into the Tri-State Area, all of them with one thought: taking over the Tri-State Area. Nobody was standing in their way, and nobody dared to challenge them, lest they met a terrible fate.
The only people who stood a chance at stopping Mr. Flynn and his army of mind-controlled slaves were lying under a pile of rubble, hanging on for dear life.
To be continued...
End of Episode 30!
Wow! Is that a plot twist or what! Hope you like it!
Next Time: Can the Tri-State Area survive the wrath of Jerry Flynn & his new army of minions? Can anybody stop him before it's too late? And what will happen to Perry? Will he be relocated, or will he get to stay with Phineas & Ferb?
Expected Update: Since I go back to school on September 7th, but I get September 9th & 10th off because of a Jewish holiday, I'll aim for one of those days to update. But again, no guarentees.
