A/N: Hey, y'all! Welcome back to another chapter of this rewrite repost! I can't really say that I am particularly enthused at this point, but I just wanted to repost everything for completion's sake. But I'm pretty sure I mentioned this to you all before. XP XP XP
Alright, I'm done rambling. On with the chapter! ENJOY!
Original A/N: I'm back! School's done for the week, at last! Now I have a weekend with my computer! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Candace: I'm back too!
OH, NO! I thought you QUIT!
Candace: Coolguyforever used Doofenshmirtz's Transport-Inator to zap me back to you, with a renewed determination to ask you if I'm gonna bust Phineas and Ferb in this chapter. So, am I?
You already busted them two chapters ago.
Candace: I did? YES! IN YOUR FACE, STACY! YOU SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE!
NOW will you get lost?
Candace: Yes, yes I will. *leaves*
*I glare at Coolguyforever*
Coolguyforever, you've made a GRAVE MISTAKE, zapping Candace back to me. I'll find you, and I swear to you, I will harm your HAMSTER! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nah, just kidding. I love ya, bro!
And now, with Candace gone, hopefully permanently, I present to you Chapter 10. ENJOY!
P.S.: Due to the ever-worsening situation regarding the coronavirus outbreak, I'm going to have to remind you all about the basic steps you should take if you want to stay healthy, courtesy of my university's reminder emails:
-Wash hands often with soap and water for 20-30 seconds at a time, and/or use hand sanitizer
-Avoid close contact with people who are sick
-Keep your hands away from nose, eyes, and mouth (I can't imagine how difficult this part is probably going to be)
-Eat well, get adequate rest, and exercise regularly
-Get a flu shot if you haven't already and are able to
And if you ARE sick (I hope you get better if you are), please be a good sport and save other folks the trouble of getting sick. You can do this by:
-Covering your mouth and nose with your sleeve, elbow, or a tissue whenever you sneeze or cough
-Not sharing food and drinks with others
-Avoiding touching your mouth, nose, and eyes (Again, I understand this is probably going to be difficult)
-Avoiding close contact with others
-Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and objects
-Staying at home if you're unwell (PRIORITY NUMBER ONE!)
-Staying calm and keeping yourself well-informed (My personal advice)
If you already know this, then great! If you didn't know any of this beforehand, please keep that information in mind as we all go through this trying time. It's a realm of unknowns at this point, and I wish myself and all of humanity well.
"A squad of fedora-wearing animals?" asked the Shadow before bursting into maniacal laughter. "HOW RIDICULOUS!"
"Don't underestimate the OWCA, kid!" exclaimed Doofenshmirtz as the members of LOVEMUFFIN prepared themselves for battle. "Those agents are tough, I've gotta tell ya!"
"Do you expect those animals to somehow defeat us? I find it hilariously impossib-OOF!"
Pinky had kicked the Shadow in the face, while several OWCA agents sprung into action, attacking the villainous scientists while the others untied Adyson, Django, and the Doofenshmirtzes. Doofenshmirtz let out a girlish scream and ran in the opposite direction, pursued by none other than Peter the Panda, who was armed with a large ball of tin foil.
"Heinz is scared of a panda holding a ball of tin foil?" asked Mr. Doofenshmirtz as a turtle untied him. "What a schnitzel!"
"Come on!" Vanessa cried as she led her family, Pinky, several OWCA agents, Adyson, and Django out of the room, passing the secretary as they did so.
"Care for a stamp on the way out?" the man asked.
Ferb, Perry, and the others looked up at the ceiling of the basement, hearing the battle between the OWCA agents and LOVEMUFFIN occurring from the upper floor. Perry smiled, knowing that his ETS signal had made its way to Monogram, despite getting destroyed by the scientist called Cravenblack, and the major had sent help. Ferb and Perry then watched as the two guards watching the captives prepared to go up the staircase leading to the upper floor, only to be ambushed and subdued by Pinky and the OWCA agents. Perry chattered, catching Pinky's attention.
"Those your friends?" asked Ferb, to which Perry nodded. Ferb then spotted Vanessa, who looked back at him, causing him to blush furiously as Pinky kicked his cell door open, releasing him, Perry, and the Flynn-Fletcher family, all of whom assisted the others in opening up all the other cell doors, freeing each and every captive.
"Pinky?" Isabella asked, spotting her pet Chihuahua. "Is that you?"
Pinky's trembling worsened and he issued a small bark. Fortunately, the awkwardness of the situation was immediately averted when Pinky's watch beeped and the face of his superior, Admiral Wanda Acronym, appeared on its miniature screen.
"Agent P," she said, "have you freed Agent P?"
Pinky barked and nodded, and Acronym announced to someone off-screen, "Agent P's been successfully liberated!"
"Great googly-moogly!" someone cried, and then the screen of Pinky's watch switched to Monogram's face. "Agent P, put Agent P on the line!" Pinky barked loyally and handed his watch to Perry. "Agent P, oh thank goodness you're safe! Don't scare me like that ever AGAIN! Not that I was scared in the first place, it was just an exaggeration! Now, Agent P, I want you to fight Doofenshmirtz and his LOVEMUFFIN! Foil whatever scheme they've cooked up and bring 'em to justice!"
Perry chattered in protest, but Monogram, not understanding platypus-talk, just smiled.
"I agree, my gray hair does look good on me-"
Perry sighed, procured his notebook, wrote down something on it, and showed it to the screen. It read, "I can't fight them! My owner Phineas Flynn has become a member!"
"WHAT?" exclaimed Monogram. "Agent P, I'm sorry, but that doesn't change a thing! I need you to fight LOVEMUFFIN, regardless of whether Phineas is a member or not. I promise you, when this is over, we'll cure him of his evil and turn him back to normal! Now get out there, Agent P!"
"I agree with Perry," Ferb said, looking into the watch's screen, "we can't fight Phineas. He's our family; there has to be a more nonviolent solution..."
Monogram's eyes widened. "What in tarnation? Ferb Fletcher, owner of an OWCA agent, utilizing OWCA technology, standing in the same place as Agent P in agent mode?" He was silent for a moment. "Are there anymore innocents who saw you in agent mode, Agent P?"
Perry nodded, to which Monogram became silent again. Finally, he said, "You and I will later have a conversation that I guarantee will not be enjoyable, agent. For now, I will change orders: Agent P, escort the innocents out of the Danville Arena. Carl should be waiting to pick you guys up outside. Agent P and the other OWCA agents will cover you. Under no circumstances should any innocent be left behind for LOVEMUFFIN to grab. Understood, Agent P?"
Perry nodded again before shutting off Pinky's watch, returning it to the toy dog, and beckoned the humans and agents to follow him. Everyone obliged and followed the platypus agent up the staircase.
Ferb and the others screamed as they ran for their lives towards the set of exit doors, Perry, Pinky, and the squad of OWCA agents covering them with their weapons. LOVEMUFFIN members fired on them with their Stun-Inators, but constantly kept missing. The Shadow was constantly screaming orders at the evil scientists, and as he looked back at him, Ferb wished he could stop and confront his stepbrother, do something to turn him back to normal, but knew that it was not the perfect time to do so and kept running.
Perry was the first to burst out of the Danville Arena, followed by the others. Expecting Carl to be waiting for them, the platypus saw nothing but a parking lot, vacant save for the cars belonging to LOVEMUFFIN members. Chattering fearfully, Perry dialed a number on the watch provided to him by Pinky, and the face of Carl appeared on the screen.
"Oh, Agent P!" the intern cried, exasperated. "Sorry I'm late! I'm in a bit of a fickle here..." Perry could hear numerous car horns blare in the background. "Expect me to make a dramatic appearance in five minutes! COME ON, MOVE! ...OH, ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME!" Carl's head disappeared from the screen, but that didn't prevent Perry from hearing the intern's now-furious voice. "DON'T LET THE OLD LADY CROSS THE STRE- AWWWWW, NUTS!"
Perry shut off his watch before Carl can continue his road rage and looked at his companions, shaking his head.
"What?" asked Lawrence. "What does that head-shaking mean?"
"It means help's not coming, Dad," Ferb replied grimly. Everyone gasped.
"You mean we're left here to fend for ourselves for a while?" asked Julia. "Aw, poop!"
Just then, the Shadow, Doofenshmirtz, and LOVEMUFFIN burst through the exit doors. The Shadow cackled evilly.
"HA! You actually thought you all could escape?" he asked. "Well, you thought WRONG! Get 'em, LOVEMUFFIN!"
"Please, Phineas," said Isabella, stepping forward. "Don't do this! What'd we do to you that made you do this?"
"What'd you do to me? Let me think. Uh, nothing, perhaps. And I guess that's why you're gonna have to pay! HAHAHA!" He looked at the members of LOVEMUFFIN, none of whom had moved. "Well don't just stand there like idiots, you idiots! SEIZE THEM!"
"Oh, sorry," replied Doofenshmirtz apologetically as he and the rest of the villains closed in on the group.
The OWCA agents, all led by Perry, leapt into the air and engaged LOVEMUFFIN in an all-out battle. Perry fought against the Shadow, Doofenshmirtz, and Norm. Pinky fought against Rodney. Cravenblack and his raven fought against an eagle. Bloodpudding fought against Peter the Panda. Diminuitive fought against a frog. Sharpeard fought against a koala. Wackeye fought against a snail. Every LOVEMUFFIN member was occupied, no one able to get through and recapture Ferb and the others as they watched the odd fight erupt.
"DIE, PLATYPUS, DIE!" the Shadow screamed as he threw a punch at Perry, only to miss and hit the concrete sidewalk instead. "OWWW!" Painfully, the Shadow shook his hand and clutched it. "OW, OW, OW, OW, OW! Man, how do those action stars not feel the pain? Ow, ow, ow, OOF!"
Perry had kicked Doofenshmirtz, who in turn collapsed on the Shadow.
"GAH!" cried the Shadow. "Get off of me, schnitzel!"
"HEY!" Doofenshmirtz protested, standing up, just as Norm happily distracted Perry. "Don't call me a schnitzel too! It's bringing back bad memories..."
"Dad, look!" Norm called, having grabbed Perry and holding the platypus in a tight grip. "I caught one!"
"Good job, Norm!" cried the Shadow. "Now, finish it off!"
"Excuse me," asked Doofenshmirtz, raising an eyebrow, "did you just say 'finish off Perry the Platypus'?"
"Of course. That way the annoying platypus won't interfere with our affairs anymore." The Shadow raised his own eyebrow. "And why are you so concerned?..."
Perry stopped struggling against Norm's viselike grip and listened in on the conversation, watching Doofenshmirtz with interest. Doofenshmirtz, being concerned for him? In spite of the fact that he blamed him for destroying the DEI laboratory? Did, at some point, the evil scientist forgive his arch-nemesis, even if he didn't know it? Perry didn't have time to think about it further, as Norm slightly tightened his grip on him.
"I...I just...I don't see the point on why we have to dispose of him, that's all," replied Doofenshmirtz meekly.
"Well, I'm in charge now, and I have just made an order. Are you resisting this order?"
"N-No..."
"Good." The Shadow turned to Norm. "Crush the platypus."
"Crush him?" Norm asked. "That sounds mean..."
"DO IT!"
"Okay." Perry noticed that the optimism was finally gone from Norm's voice. To his horror, the grip holding him tightened, and his world became blurry by the second, his air supply slipping away... He could hear Ferb crying out his name...
The hand suddenly released him, and Perry fell to the concrete ground, gasping for breath. Looking up after recovering, he saw Carl, who was holding a laser gun. Behind him was an OWCA Conversion Vehicle, which was currently in the form of a bus.
"Come on, get in!" the intern called to the escapees. The OWCA agents immediately ceased fighting and led the adults and children into the bus, while Ferb picked up a weak Perry and carried him inside. Carl pressed a red button that read 'Autopilot - Escape Mode', and the bus immediately sped off before LOVEMUFFIN could catch up to it. Carl then pressed a green button, which read 'Invisibility Mode'. The bus immediately became invisible.
"Wow, Agent P," Carl said to Perry, examining the entire group. "You blew your cover in front of much more people than last time. Monogram's gonna yell up a storm with you..."
Perry chattered painfully, not wanting to imagine what it would be like when he had to encounter Monogram with this prospect. Meanwhile, Ferb stood up.
"Hey, I know you," he said. "You're that teenage boy who tested out the Anti-Gravity Fun Launcher with us!"
"Yeah. I happened to be working undercover; I thought you and your stepbrother were up to something evil. Don't worry, you guys were cleared on that."
"Not anymore. At least with Phineas..." Ferb looked down at the floor, downcast, a mood that Carl noticed.
"Don't worry, Ferb. The guys at OWCA will figure things out. For now, Agent P needs medical attention; Norm really had a tight grip on him."
"NO!" the Shadow roared as the bus sped away. "This can't be happening! NO, NO, NO!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" cried Rodney. "Calm down, kid! We'll get 'em!"
"We better do it fast, because those meddling fools are the only things that'll stand in our way when we try to take over the world! But where do we start? We don't know where they're goin'!"
"Don't worry about that," Cravenblack said. "I managed to install a tracking device on one of the captives before they made their escape, just in case." He took out a tracking remote and pressed a button. "Those fools won't be able to escape us now..."
Original A/N: Uh oh, things don't look good.
Candace: Well, no doubt! I didn't even make a contribution to this chapter!
Candace, you busted Phineas and Ferb two chapters ago! Didn't I tell ya that?
Candace: I still wanted to see some more action from Mom.
Well, you'll get that in the next chapter. Please leave in the meantime.
Candace: Fine. *whispers as she leaves* Jerk.
I heard that!

New A/N: I gotta say, I tend to write pretty short chapters back when I was starting out on this site in high school. I'm quite succinct and to the point here. I mean, 3,000 or so words?! Nowadays, that's child's play for me! XP
Anyway, there's really nothing of note for me while I was rereading this chapter. It's pretty much of a reworded rehash of events that occurred in the original "Evil Phineas". I gotta say, I brought in Peter the Panda quite early this time around, compared to the original where I just had him be a participant in the climactic final battle. In fact, I think that was a way better route than the direction I'm taking now. I realize now that one of the areas I need to improve on is the enormous cast of characters I tend to deal with. I get too ambitious, even back then, and it comes back to bite me in the butt. If I am going to write a lot of characters in the limited space of one chapter, I need to know how to manage them well before I go all willy-nilly. Just saying.
Anyway, I'd like to thank the following people for reviewing:
-Gamelover41592:
1) Thanks! I'm glad that you are enjoying the drama, unlike me. At this point, this fic is a bit of a shame of mine. I think the only benefit I got out of it was the collaboration with Marissa Flynn, who was a pretty nice and understanding gal.
2) Speaking of which, Marissa Flynn has complete control over the entire trilogy now. I have no plans on coming back to it, especially since I have not watched "Phineas and Ferb" in years and my knowledge of the show's universe is now a bit rusty. And unfortunately, Marissa Flynn has decided to give up on the trilogy as well. She let me know a few months ago. I'm not sure if you're aware of that.
Only one reviewer? Well, I can't really blame you guys. Like I said before, this is only up for completion's sake.
Well, hope you enjoyed the quick chapter! TheCartoonFanatic01 is out. PEACE!
