Chapter 31: Atmos-frozen
Tucker, Sam and Jazz were at the Fentons' lab waiting for Danny to return from the Ghost Zone when he showed up. "Okay, I've checked with the Observants and Vortex is still imprisoned so that rules him out as a suspect for this sudden winter." Danny explained.
"Danny, it's probably Dr. Drakken and Dr. Gelee using the stolen Atmos-freezer." Tucker said. "Just wait and see who catches them first: Kim Possible or W.O.O.H.P. I hope it's Kim Possible so I can see her on TV again."
Danny decided to ignore Tucker's comment. "Meanwhile, I'll just join Mom and Dad in patrol. There are already some heroes after those villains." 'I wonder if Alex is on the case.'
Unbeknownst to Danny, he was correct as Jerry was assigning the case to Alex and her friends. "Girls, I want you to investigate a place I believe is being used as a cover for the Atmos-freezer." He said as he showed a picture of the place.
"Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes?" Clover skeptically asked. Samantha and Alex felt the same but didn't mention anything.
"Since the villains using the Atmos-freezer are somehow able to do so without anyone quickly detecting the energy consumption, that means they must be using some sort of business as a cover-up." Jerry explained. "Since this cupcake business was recently opened after the theft of the Atmos-freezer, it's a possibility." He then pushed a button. "You will pose as job applicants want to work at Hank's so you'll be able to find the Atmos-freezer or at least a clue to its whereabouts." He handed them three cards that appeared as a result of the button being pushed. "These will be your IDs for when you apply for the jobs. You'll also use the typical spy gadgets."
Meanwhile, back in Amity Park, Jack and Maddie were struggling to fight yet another Technus-controlled mecha. "No wonder Danny calls this one a master of long-winded speeches." Jack commented.
While Technus was distracted with Danny's parents, Danny came from behind and short-circuited the ghost's armor. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Technus screamed in horror and Danny sucked him into a Fenton Thermos.
"Good work, Danny." Maddie complimented her son.
"True that." Jack added. "Even if I regret not making an actual soup thermos."
"So, is this climate change Vortex's doing as you suspected?" Maddie asked.
"No, Mom." Danny answered. "I guess it's really Drakken and Gelee using that Atmos-freezer."
"Then even if they aren't stopped before Superman and Supergirl are no longer busy defending Metropolis from the Legion of Doom, the Heroes of Steel will be able to locate the Atmos-freezer with their x-ray vision." Maddie commented.
Meanwhile, Dr. Drakken and his allies were discussing the progress of their plan. "I get using places with nuclear shelters from the Cold War days but, what's the point of opening cupcake shops in places without Atmos-freezers?" Shego asked.
"Those are places with a high demand for cupcakes, Shego." Hank Perkins explained.
"And makes it harder for people to find us." Dr. Gelee added. "If we only opened Hank's stores in places with Atmos-freezers, it'd be just a matter of time until those spies stopped dismissing it as a coincidence."
"Finally you contribute to the plan." Shego commented. "Is also why you insisted on placing an Atmos-freezer in a place "not affiliated to Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes"?"
"Yes." Dr. Gelee answered. "Speaking of that, how's the donut shop, Perkins?"
"Already open for business, Dr. Gelee." Hank Perkins proudly answered and then remembered something. "Oh, three girls showed up to apply for jobs at our first store but I told them there were no openings."
"Three?" Gelee asked in worry. "They must be those spies! That place needs increased security!"
"I'll handle them." Shego declared.
Later on, Alex and her friends were breaking into the cupcake store when Shego intercepted them. "I guess Dr. Gelee was right." The villainess commented and tried to hit Samantha but the redhead spy activated a shield that blocked the attack. Alex tried to hit her from behind but Shego dodged. "Attacking from behind doesn't seem heroic." Shego teased.
"Whatever stops the villain." Alex justified her action.
"You don't see Kim Possible doing it, do you?" Shego kept teasing.
"Do we look like cheerleaders to you?" Samantha asked in fury.
"Don't make it sound like it's a bad thing, Sammy." Clover told her friend.
Meanwhile, it turned out W.O.O.H.P. wasn't the only spy agency to notice there was a possible connection between Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes. At another store, Black Widow had just found an Atmos-freezer. "Atmos-freezer located, Nick."
Back with the spies, whatever advantage they had against Shego was negated by some henchmen who showed up to help her. Fortunately, by that time, Kim Possible also got word of Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes and showed up to help. While the crime-fighting cheerleader fought Shego, the spies fought the henchmen.
During that time, Jerry, Nick and the Avengers joined forces to prepare a simultaneous attack on the several places suspected or confirmed to have Atmos-freezers. A team of W.O.O.H.P. agents arrived at the store Kim and the spies were fighting Shego, who decided to call for help. "Dr. D, a little help here." She asked.
"Drs. Drakken and Gelee are too busy being arrested." A new voice said. "May I take a message?"
"Fury, if you meet Kim Possible, tell her she thinks she's all that but you are." Drakken said.
"Well, Drakken might have failed again but at least I'm finally going to kill Kim…" Shego said until she was interrupted by the spies tackling her down.
"Thanks." Kim said.
"Don't mention it." Samantha replied.
"But how was Drakken located?" Kim asked in confusion.
"I can explain that." Jerry replied as he showed up. "Hank Perkins registered their hideout as his cupcake business' corporate headquarters."
As the villains were being carried away, Drakken and Gelee could be heard screaming "You idiot!"
"Kimberly Ann Possible, thank you for your cooperation." Jerry said.
"No big." Kim replied.
As the world was returning to normal, Danny was enjoying a video chat with Alex. "So, what's it like meeting Kim Possible again?" He asked her.
"Nice try, Danny, but I'm neither confirming nor denying anything." Alex replied with a teasing smile.
"Kim Possible mentioned a trio of spy girls at her website." Danny argued.
"Do you know how many of those trios W.O.O.H.P. has?" Alex asked.
"Hmmm, three?" Danny joked.
Alex thought about it before answering. "Actually, if you count only those I know, yes."
While Danny wondered if his girlfriend was joking or not, a new screen showed up with Jerry. "Ahem, certain topics shouldn't be discussed unless it's done in person without use of electronic devices." He said and left.
"Will he invade our privacy on a regular basis?" Danny asked.
"You'll get used to it." Alex calmly replied, which made Danny worried. 'If I still had a secret identity, I'd be afraid Jerry's gathering evidence on it.'
Danny's thoughts were interrupted by Tucker appearing in another screen. "Danny, do you wanna play this new game?"
"A game?" Alex excitedly asked. "Count me in!"
"Okay." Danny replied. Sam taught him a lesson about girl gamers after all.
One game later, Alex defeated both Danny and Tucker. "No fair!" Tucker protested. "First Sam and now Alex? Are all girls that good at games?"
"I won't speak for others but I am!" She proudly declared. Her compowder then beeped. "Hello? Okay." She turned her attention back to Danny and Tucker. "Sorry, guys. I've got an emergency. Bye." She logged off.
"Tucker, I think I'm going to study a little and then do a routine patrol. Bye." The conversation ended.
While Danny went on patrol, the Guys in White were experimenting on Vlad Masters. "Would you please stop it." The fruitloop pleaded. "I'll even help you catch Danny Phantom. I know you guys want him."
"Of course we want him but we can't trust you and the President considers you more of a threat than he ever considered Phantom to be." Operative O replied.
"You should have thought about that before thinking you could cheat the IRS." Operative K added.
"Fudge buckets." Vlad moaned.
"Okay." A new voice said and dropped a bucketful of fudge on Vlad.
"Deadpool?" Vlad asked. "What're you doing here?"
"I'm padding this chapter." Deadpool answered. "This fanfic's author is too lazy to fully develop the Atmos-freezer plot so he's using us to stretch it." He then noticed the Guys in White's white suits. "I'm glad you guys are no longer impersonating M.E.R.F. agents."
"Wait." Operative O asked. "We'd like to hire you!"
"I'm not going after Danny Phantom." The Merc with a Mouth replied.
"Actually, we were thinking of…" Operative O tried to explain but Deadpool interrupted him again.
"And I won't hunt those witches in Greendale either." The Merc said.
"No, we weren't… wait. You know about those witches?" Operative K asked in surprise.
"The perks of being able to see through the fourth wall." Deadpool commented.
"Anyway, we'd want you to capture the ghost known as Skulker." Operative O finally managed to explain.
"Now we can make a deal." Deadpool replied. Enough padding already, Luiz4200?
No comments, Deadpool.
End chapter.
Answer to Leonardo (Guest): Não tenho certeza se farei um novo spin-off mas, se eu fizer, provavelmente será um com a Sabrina.
Answer to Guest (Chapter 1): I would love to read one of those as well but, if I ever make a fourth spin-off, it'll be with Sabrina like I told Leonardo.
