A/N: Ack, this chapter took even LONGER to get out. Sorry about the wait, you guys. I had an important presentation to make at school, and since I'm not good with public speaking, I had to take some time off to prepare my nerves. But now that it's over with, I can get back to this story! HOORAY! :D

Oh, and before we begin, I'd like to recommend checking out my profile. I update it as often as I can with little snippets on my writing progress and life in general. So, if you become worried over not seeing any trace of me in weeks, you'll find that I'm still alive through my profile updates.

Alright, enough rambling! On with the chapter. ENJOY!

P.S.: Happy Leap Day, everyone! Honestly, I always forget that it's a thing until the last minute. That's what happens when a momentous occasion such as this happens only every four years.

P.P.S.: Speaking of Leap Day, this reminded me of an old fanfic I read back when I was at the height of my "Phineas and Ferb" craze. It's called "Leap Day" by Boolia. I recommend you guys check it out. It's so accurate to the show's formula despite the original content that I can't even...

Original A/N: First off, I wanna respond to trickquestion's review, which really got me thinking. I must answer your question with a 'no'. Why? Because I really don't see myself doing a double ending for this story for some reason. Although, I found that doing an ending in which Phineas actually conquers the world instead of being turned back to normal would be really interesting, and I have decided that I will be doing a one-shot about that, but sometime after I finish this story.

Thanks for giving me some inspiration!

Now, on to Chapter 11. ENJOY!


Chapter 11 Summary: Doofenshmirtz goes to the Googolplex Mall after finding out the Pizzazium Infinionite canister has been moved there. Meanwhile, at the Googolplex Mall, Isabella's mother holds a meeting with the parents of the missing children.


Doofenshmirtz watched as the mighty structure of the Superduper Mega Superstore came into the view of Norm's windshield. However, he didn't bother to notice, for he was lost in thought. Still remembering the looks on Vanessa and Charlene's faces when Phineas ordered their imprisonment, when he refused to help them, the evil scientist now felt a bit reluctant to continue his mission. However, he didn't want to anger Phineas, for such an occurrence always frightened him, so Doofenshmirtz continued to allow Norm to drive forward.

After Norm parked himself alongside in an empty space in the store's parking lot, Doofenshmirtz stepped out of his robot and ordered, "Now, Norm, stay in your car mode. Absolutely do not make a scene!"

"Yes, sir," Norm replied optimistically.

Doofenshmirtz then walked towards the Superduper Mega Superstore, and as he did, he became immersed in his thoughts again. He still couldn't believe that true evil actually hurts: letting Vanessa and Charlene, the only members of the Doofenshmirtz family that actually cared for him (aside from his brother Roger, though he didn't want to count him), being imprisoned was such a difficult decision. And then he remembered Linda Flynn also being imprisoned by her own son. Even though the two dated for only one day, Doofenshmirtz still held some care towards her, and it pained him to see her to also get captured without his interference. Then remembering the time when he first declared that he will become evil, Doofenshmirtz began to wonder if he had been really sincere when he made said declaration, because his experience with true evil was starting to scar him emotionally instead of fortifying him.

Entering the store, Doofenshmirtz pulled himself back into reality and began searching for the canister he promised to give to Phineas. However, after hours of fruitful searching, his quest gained no success, and after browsing the last aisle, the villain approached an employee, scratching his head.

"Hey, excuse me!" said Doofenshmirtz to the employee, who turned at him.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the employee asked, smiling warmly.

"Well, I'm looking for a canister that contains Pizzazium Infinionite. I've searched everywhere for it, and yet, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Do you know what happened to it?"

"Pizzazium Infinionite?" The employee shrugged in response. "I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to ask the manager. I've been working here for three days, and I've never heard of a canister of Pizzazium Infinionite being an item of purchase here."

"Okay, well thanks!"

"You're welcome! And be sure to come back to the Superduper Mega Superstore again!"

Doofenshmirtz's tone was sarcastic, but the employee didn't notice it. "Yeah, sure I will."


Two-and-a-half hours later...

Doofenshmirtz sat on the wooden bench standing next to the door into the office of the Superduper Mega Superstore's manager. Tapping his foot impatiently, the scientist looked at his watch and realized that he had been waiting for two hours. Another thirty minutes and he would definitely be behind that schedule Phineas gave him. Taking out his cell phone from his coat pocket, Doofenshmirtz dialed the DEI number and put the device to his ear.

Finally, a voice asked, "Hello?"

"Hi, Sharpeard!" greeted Doofenshmirtz. "May I speak to Phineas, please?"

"I'm sorry, he's busy at the moment," Sharpeard replied. "May I send a message to him?"

"Yeah. Well, I'm still at the Superduper Mega Superstore, and I can't find the canister of Pizzazium Infinionite anywhere, so I'm asking the manager about it. There's currently a holdup inside his office, however, so I might be late."

Doofenshmirtz heard Sharpeard gulp before replying, "Oh, uh, y-ye-yeah. I'll b-be sure to t-tell h-him. See ya back at DEI, D-Doofenshmirtz."

"See ya, Sharpeard!"

Doofenshmirtz then hung up, just as the door to the manager's office opened and a stocky man emerged from the doorway.

"Hi," the manager said, "Mitchell Horner, Jr., manager of the Superduper Mega Superstore. I was told you wanted to speak to me?"

"Yeah, um, is there a canister containing Pizzazium Infinionite that is still an item of purchase here? I need it for, uh, an electrical outage, and my penthouse has its own power generator."

"Oh, Pizzazium Infinionite!" replied Mitchell, clapping his hands together businesslike. "Well, it was moved to the Danville Googolplex Mall because someone attempted to steal it weeks ago, and we felt that it was safe to move it to another location."

Doofenshmirtz giggled nervously, remembering that it was he who attempted to steal the canister along with Vanessa.

"Well, thanks!"

"You're welcome, sir, and please be sure to come back to the Superduper Mega Superstore again!"

Once again, Doofenshmirtz spoke in an unnoticeable sarcastic tone, "Yeah, sure I will."

Running from the manager's office, through several store aisles, through the entrance, and into the parking lot, Doofenshmirtz stopped when he saw Norm entertaining a group of little children as their parents watched with interest.

"NORM!" roared Doofenshmirtz. "I told you not to make a scene!"

"Is this your robot?" one of the parents asked.

"Yes, yes it is. Now move along! We're leaving!"

"Do we have to, sir?" asked Norm as the children groaned. "I'm having fun!"

"And I told you not to make a scene!" Doofenshmirtz replied while the parents escorted their children away into the store. "Now, Norm, go back into your car mode, for we're going to the Googolplex Mall!"


Even though it has been only 24 hours since Isabella disappeared, Vivian Garcia-Shapiro continued to feel worried for her daughter, like any parent would. However, she was also feeling angry, not because Isabella was somewhere in Danville, but because the police force was lackluster, for they theorized that aliens abducted the children. Right now, they were probably ordering astronomers to examine the planets through their telescopes. And knowing that convincing the police chief, a sleepy, pizza-eating couch potato, to change his ways wasn't an easy task, Vivian knew that it was up to the parents to investigate now. There was no way the children will be permanently lost anytime soon. And this was why she called a meeting with the parents of Baljeet, Buford, Irving, Django, Jeremy, Stacy, and the Fireside Girls, including Gretchen Davison's father Jack.

Jack Davison was a good friend of Vivian's, for they shared many similar aspects. Some included the facts that both were currently single, they were both allergic to lemons, and they both enjoy playing the contrabass. Vivian always enjoyed committing to activities with Jack, as the both of them were practically on the same page with each other. In fact, he was the first person she invited to the meeting.

Tapping her foot as she stood by the door of an empty storage room at the Googolplex Mall, Vivian watched as the customers went about with their shopping sprees, buying anything they needed. Examining a group of teenage girls talking away as they giddily walked into another store, the woman wondered what life will be like for her five years later, when she would have to deal with a teenage Isabella, who would constantly go out on dates and shopping with her friends. Making a note in her mind to ask Misaki Hirano on how she deals with her daughter Stacy once everything was over, Vivian watched as the parents she invited approached her. Leading them was Jack.

"Hey, Vivian!" greeted Jack. "So, where are we meeting?"

"In here," Vivian replied, opening the door into the room the mall's manager loaned to her hours ago. "Come on in, and there's food and drinks!"

The parents followed Vivian into a large room that once contained storage boxes, but now held a makeshift stage and had several rows of chairs placed in front of it. At the right of the rows was an oblong table of food and drinks. The parents partook of the refreshments provided by Vivian before sitting down on the chairs, each of the husbands beside their wives and vice versa. Jack was seated beside the Rai couple, and Vivian noticed that there was an empty seat beside him. Momentarily feeling sorry for Jack, she then spoke to the audience.

"Everyone, I have called you all here because I have finally realized why the crime rate in Danville has been steadily increasing. It is because our hometown's police force is not living up to the expectations that were set by any other law enforcement squad. It is probably thanks to their less-than-average experience, our children have gone missing! And now, they're assuming aliens have abducted them! Which is why I have decided to start a petition to make sure that the officers here have to do their job in finding our children, otherwise the citizens of Danville will take action. Who's with me?"

Everyone raised his or her hands, and Vivian nodded proudly. Passing petition papers to each parent, she announced, "Alright, everyone, the goal of this petition is to get at least 50,000 signatures. And we can easily get most of those signatures from none other than here, the Googolplex Mall, Danville's most popular shopping center!"

"Hm, good idea," replied Beppo Brown as he and his wife received their paper.

"Okay, everyone!" announced Vivian. "We don't have a minute to lose! Who knows what our children are going through? We have to get those signatures fast!"


David grumbled impatiently to himself as he watched his acquaintances Roderick and Sid as they tried to convince a clerk to allow them to buy the clothes they picked out without any money. Scratching his raven-black hair, he watched as the twitchy Sid began to extend his fingers, a sign that he was gonna psychotically attack the clerk, but Roderick noticed the motion and slapped Sid in the head when the clerk looked away, bringing him to his senses. David then glanced at his muscular companion Byron, whose arms were crossed as he watched the scene progress with interest.

"He's gonna snap eventually," said David. "And when he snaps, there's gonna be a lot of dead bodies."

"D'you think I should take care of him, boss?" Byron asked, cracking his knuckles expertly.

"No. His psychopathic tendencies are of use to us. Remember those six SWAT agents that tried to apprehend us at Wichita?"

"Yeah, he killed them all with a mere switchblade. A switchblade, boss! And they had guns!"

"That's right, Byron. We can't get rid of him. Besides, we need all of the manpower we have on our team to accomplish our objective!"

"You mean your objective, boss," replied Byron.

David's expression darkened mysteriously. "Yes, my objective. But it doesn't matter if we are just bringing closure to only my personal matter. We will treat it equally, as if it is our personal matter. And we will succeed in concluding some unfinished business, because we are the Tri-State Bombers!"

"You mean 'we were the Tri-State Bombers'," Roderick commented as he and Sid walked towards the duo.

"What d'you mean by 'we were', Roderick?" David asked, crossing his arms.

"Well," replied Roderick, "the Tri-State Bombers once had hundreds of members, and now, we are obviously reduced to only four men remaining! We might as well rename ourselves the Tri-State Bomber Foursome, if you ask me."

"Once we're through with what we came for, Roderick, then we shall resurrect the Tri-State Bombers and regain more members! And soon, the Tri-State Area will fall into anarchy!"

"Ooh, anarchy!" cried Sid happily, twitching with sadistic pleasure. "Ooh, I can't wait to see that!"

"We will, soon. For now, we shall make our leave." David then noticed that Roderick and Sid weren't carrying the clothes they intended to use to replace the old ones to prevent anyone from recognizing them. "Wait a minute, what happened to the clothes you got?"

"We couldn't convince the clerk," replied Roderick. "He stated that the rules were rules, and that unless we had any money, we couldn't buy them."

"Why don't we just make a run with the clothes, boss?" Sid asked. "That'll be fun!"

"We can't risk blowing our cover again!" exclaimed David.

"I can handle more SWAT agents, just watch me!"

"Yeah, you were able to kill the six agents sent in. But do ya think that you can bring down sixteen the next time?"

"Uh...no," Sid replied.

David turned around and walked out of the clothes store, followed by his comrades. "I thought so."

Walking down the large hallway of the Googolplex Mall, the four men walked a considerable distance when Sid announced that he wanted to use the bathroom, and he went into the nearest men's bathroom, followed by Byron. This left David and Roderick alone, and they sat down on a wooden bench.

David decided to lose himself in thought. He was extremely angry at how his life was turning out currently. Thirteen years ago, he was the glorious leader of a criminal organization stationed in the Tri-State Area. The organization specialized in inspiring widespread fear by placing bombs in random public areas and detonating them. Although the bombs were of small power and claimed few lives, the criminal activities gained enough publicity that the FBI had been summoned.

That was when everything went downhill.

Three years after that, he foolishly let slip his activities to his girlfriend under the pretense that she, in her loyalty towards him, wouldn't alert anyone. Unfortunately, she did, and he and everyone else in the organization were arrested. Another three years later, he, Roderick, Byron, and Sid all managed to escape from the prison confining them and attempted to kill the girlfriend with a bomb placed in a box. However, the plan failed when a man mistook the box for another box he was supposed to get and was at a safe distance from the intended victim when the bomb blew up, killing only him and injuring seventeen others. Worse yet, the police were already on their tails, and the four had to flee the Tri-State Area before they can do anything else and run all over the country in hiding for the following seven years.

But now that the incident at Wichita happened only six months ago, David felt that it was time to return to Danville.

"Soon," he thought, "soon I will have my revenge."


Entering the Googolplex Mall, Doofenshmirtz spotted a map of the mall's entire layout and approached it. Browsing the list of stores for a particular one that would sell items like the Pizzazium Infinionite canister, the evil scientist finally found one that fit the bill: Bruce's Batteries, which was at the upper floor. Finding and stepping inside the nearest elevator, Doofenshmirtz watched the two doors slide towards each to shut him inside when he saw a couple running towards the elevator.

"Hey!" the man cried. "Stop those doors!"

Doofenshmirtz kindly did so, and allowed the couple in before letting the doors close.

"Thanks, sir," the man, who had auburn hair, said.

"My pleasure," replied Doofenshmirtz.

The woman, who seemed to be of Hispanic descent, showed Doofenshmirtz a paper, which had several signatures.

"Hey, do you want to see the police force at Danville be improved?" asked the woman.

Doofenshmirtz's eyes widened with confusion. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Oh, I'm starting a petition to ensure that more competent officers are working at the Danville Police Department."

"Oh, a petition!" cried Doofenshmirtz happily as the doors slid open, the elevator having reached the upper floor; the evil scientist and the couple stepped out.

"Yeah, so you wanna sign?" asked the man. "It's your decision though; we're not forcing you."

"Sure, I'd like to see more better policemen," Doofenshmirtz replied, taking the paper and signing it with a pen he had in his lab coat. "I mean, weeks ago I was driving my robot car, Norm, back to my apartment with an Anti-Gravity E...ager Launch-Inator I made when a policeman pulled me over and asked if I had a license to drive a robot? I really didn't have one, but I built Norm! Doesn't that mean I have the right to do so anyway? I mean, seriously! And they took away Norm and that device! I managed to get the former back, but I didn't get my invention, for it had been reduced to a pile of scrap by the time I got there! I mean, really!"

"I know how you feel," the woman replied. "My daughter Isabella was abducted along with countless other children in a bus that read 'O.W.C.A.', and the police believe that it was an alien abduction! Even though I here managed to take a photo of the bus!"

"Yeah, I know r-" Doofenshmirtz began, but then he stopped upon remembering what the man said to him.

"My daughter Isabella was abducted along with countless other children in a bus that read 'O.W.C.A.'..."

"Wait, Isabella, you say?" asked Doofenshmirtz.

"Yeah, Isabella," replied Vivian. She suddenly became more aware. "Why? Have you seen her?"

"Yeah! She wasn't abducted by the O.W.C.A.; it was I who abducted her! You better check your facts, woman!"

"You kidnapped Isabella?" Vivian asked, shocked. Doofenshmirtz suddenly realized his mistake.

"Wait a minute, did I say I kidnapped her? I meant Phineas kidnapped her!"

"Impossible, Phineas would never do such a thing to Isabella!" Vivian's eyes suddenly widened. "And how come you know Phineas? Did you kidnap him too?"

Doofenshmirtz knew that he was in a tight situation. "Uh, um, um, uh-" he stuttered, but Vivian and Jack immediately realized something.

"You're the one who kidnapped our children!" exclaimed Jack, pointing his finger at Doofenshmirtz. "Vivian, run! I'll call 911, you call the others!"

"No, no, no, wait!" protested the villain, but it was too late. The two dashed away from him, and Doofenshmirtz slapped his forehead in disbelief.

"Aw, man," he thought. He then procured his cell phone. "Phineas has to hear about this."

But before he can dial the number, he stopped. He knew that Phineas was gonna lash out at him, and who knows what he'll do this time? Not wanting to take any chances, the evil scientist decided that he should capture the two personally.


Pushing through customers, Vivian frantically dialed the first number she thought of: the number to Ginger's father Mr. Hirano. Putting the phone to her ear, she heard Mr. Hirano's voice ask, "Hello?"

"Tai!" exclaimed Vivian. "Jack and I found him!"

"Found who, Vivian?" Mr. Hirano asked worriedly.

"The guy who took all of our children! He admitted it himself! Jack and I are running from him, and Jack's calling 911!"

"Don't worry, I'll gather the others and we'll get to you," replied Mr. Hirano, hanging up.

Vivian looked behind her shoulder and saw Jack talking to the 911 operator. She also spotted Doofenshmirtz, who was pursuing them as he held what appeared to be some sort of gun. Gasping, Vivian yelled out to Jack.

"Jack, he's got a gun!"

Jack nodded before saying into his cell phone, "And he now has a gun! I repeat, he has a gun!"

Hanging up, Jack put his cell phone back in his pocket and looked back at Doofenshmirtz as the three continued to run past customers down the large hallway, who watched on in confusion. Jack then saw a man pushing a cart full of basketballs and soccer balls, and got an idea. Stopping briefly to overturn the cart, Jack ignored the man yelling at him as he watched Doofenshmirtz struggle to evade stepping on a ball. Unfortunately for Jack, Doofenshmirtz was successful, and he continued to run after them.

Jack gasped as Doofenshmirtz then pointed his gun and fired, to Jack's shock, a large green bubble that floated swiftly towards him. Not wanting to know what a bubble can do to him, Jack kept on running after Vivian.

Doofenshmirtz watched as the bubble he fired instead captured another customer, and he snapped, "AW, POOH!"

Firing three more bubbles, Doofenshmirtz watched as they floated towards Vivian and Jack at high speeds. However, the evil scientist groaned as several beavers randomly appeared out of nowhere and popped the bubbles by chewing on them.

"Aw, come on!" he exclaimed. "Where'd the beavers come from, anyway?"

Vivian and Jack continued to run like they've never run before, and finally, the two decided to make a turn and sprint into a clothing store. Doofenshmirtz quickly followed them inside, but stopped upon finding that they were gone, most likely hiding behind the shirt racks. Putting his Coition-Inator inside his lab coat so none of the other customers can see it, he began stalking into the racks.

Unbeknownst to Doofenshmirtz, Vivian and Jack were indeed hiding inside a shirt rack, albeit one that was close to him, and the two kept moving around into another rack to prevent their pursuer from spotting them. Vivian procured her cell phone and dialed Mr. Hirano's cell phone number again.

"Hello?" came Mr. Hirano's voice.

"Tai, we're in the Clothing Store With Many Shirt Racks," whispered Vivian. "Please come! We're hiding in a shirt rack, and he's closing in!"

"Don't worry, Vivian," replied Mr. Hirano. "We're all on our way!"

Suddenly, the clothes parted, and the two stared into a long, pointed nose.

"Ah, going somewhere?" Doofenshmirtz asked. "Or, is it 'hiding somewhere'? You know, cause your hiding in a shirt rack. Ah, whatever. At least I have you now!"

"Not if I can help it!" growled Jack, and he punched the scientist right in the nose; Doofenshmirtz emitted a loud yelp of pain and fell to the ground, clutching his nose. "Run, Vivian!"

Vivian and Jack then made a dash towards the doors leading out of the Clothing Store With Many Shirt Racks into the open streets, but suddenly, Doofenshmirtz appeared and stepped in the way of said doors, preventing any escape. He was holding his Coition-Inator in one hand, and his other hand was clutching his broken and bleeding nose.

"Look," snarled Doofenshmirtz, "I only assisted in the kidnapping of your children! Sure, it puts me to blame like everyone else, but I had to participate against my will! But it doesn't matter anymore! My orders are to acquire a canister of Pizzazium Infinionite and capture anyone who stands in the way. I'm sorry, but since you're in the way, I'm gonna have to capture you. I don't want Phineas to get angry at me again!"

"Phineas?" asked Vivian.

"Yeah," Doofenshmirtz replied. He then raised an eyebrow. "Why? D'you know him?"

"As in, like, Phineas Albert Flynn?"

"Yeah, yeah! That's him! He's calling all the shots, not me!"

"Impossible!" Vivian exclaimed. "Phineas would never have our children captured!"

"Would I?"

The speaker was new, and Vivian and Jack turned around to see Phineas Flynn standing there, a malicious frown on his face as he held his stun gun and the kitchen knife from the Flynn-Fletcher house. Vivian, Jack, and Doofenshmirtz's eyes widened at the sudden sight of him, while the other customers spotted the two weapons and screamed, running away from the scene.

"Phineas!" exclaimed Vivian. "What're you doing here?" She then eyed Phineas's weapons. "And why are you holding those? It's not safe to be holding those!"

"Ms. Garcia-Shapiro," Phineas said eerily, "this man here is right. I'm the one calling the shots, and, as he hints, it was I who ordered the kidnapping of your children!"

"WHAT?" cried Jack in shock and frustration. "Why would you do that?"

Phineas looked at him and replied, "We didn't really succeed, idiot. A bus belonging to the O.W.C.A. took off with them. Don't worry, you two, the ones who took them are the good guys, and the children are in safe hands. For now, that is."

"The abductors are the good guys?" Vivian asked, confused. "Then why-"

But suddenly, she now realized why this O.W.C.A. would kidnap the children. It was because...

"You were threatening them, Phineas?"

Phineas laughed heartily before replying, "Yes, yes I was."

"But why would you do that? They're your friends, all of them!"

Phineas's expression darkened. "Not anymore."

"Well," Doofenshmirtz said, lightening up the atmosphere, "I must ask, kid, how'd you know I was at the Googolplex Mall instead of the Superduper Mega Superstore?"

"You were almost an hour behind schedule, idiot. Previously, I had a bad feeling that you might soften after seeing your wife and daughter being captured, so I secretly placed a tracking device on Norm that he doesn't know about. Anyway, I was wondering why you were late, so I checked the device to see where you were, and I saw that you were not at the Superduper Mega Superstore, but the mall. And why, may I ask, are you here instead of there?"

"I couldn't find the canister anywhere, so I asked the manager and he said that they moved it here. I came here to find it."

"Well, you've wasted your time on those two, because I have it right here." Phineas held up the canister with his hand, and Doofenshmirtz's eyes widened.

"Look, kiddo, I had a good reason to be distracted!"

"And that's because those two know our secret, am I correct?" replied Phineas calmly.

Doofenshmirtz gulped before shaking his head. Phineas's eye twitched, and then he raised his stun gun and fired a laser at Doofenshmirtz's leg. He then stunned Vivian and Jack, incapacitating them, before approaching the fallen scientist and stepping on his hand hard. A loud crack suddenly echoed through the room, and Doofenshmirtz screamed out in pain as Vivian gasped and Jack cringed.

"I know you're lying, Doofenshmirtz," Phineas said, still calm, "and I don't like it. Now, I want you to help me capture those two-" He pointed at Vivian and Jack. "-or else I make sure your wife and daughter both get it!"

Doofenshmirtz nodded, and Phineas lifted his foot off of the scientist's hand. Flinching from the pain, Doofenshmirtz aimed his Coition-Inator at Vivian and Jack and was about to fire when Beppo Brown and two other fathers leapt out and tackled him to the ground. The other parents appeared on the scene and lifted Vivian and Jack to their feet, and Phineas immediately hid his weapons out of their sights.

"Are you two okay?" asked Irving's mother Mrs. Saltker.

"Yeah, we're okay," Jack replied.

Katie's father Mr. Pratt looked at Doofenshmirtz, who was being restrained by Beppo and the two other fathers when he spotted Phineas.

"Phineas!" Mr. Pratt cried, rushing towards him under the pretense that Doofenshmirtz had him as a hostage. "Don't worry, it's okay!"

"No, don't!" cried Vivian and Jack simultaneously.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Pratt replied, kneeling before Phineas. "Does he have a bomb strapped to him?"

"No, but-" Vivian began, but Mr. Pratt was now looking at the ten-year-old.

"Are you okay?" Mr. Pratt asked Phineas.

"Yeah, I'm okay," replied Phineas, stabbing Mr. Pratt as everyone gasped. "In fact-" He pulled out his stun gun and stunned Beppo and the two other fathers that restrained Doofenshmirtz. "-I feel better than okay."

"Phew, thanks k-" Doofenshmirtz began, but he was stunned again by Phineas.

"I'll deal with you later, Doofenshmirtz. For now, capture all of those parents! Looks like we have a little bonus in addition to the Pizzazium Infinionite: more troops to help us take over the world! And those kids won't stop us because their parents are on our side! Or at least some of them, at least!"

"Take over the world?" Dr. Hirano asked in shock. "Phineas, what are you doing?"

"Doing whatever I want," replied Phineas as he watched with pleasure as Mrs. Pratt attended to her husband, helping him tend to his wound.

"This is not right, Phineas!" Mrs. Johnson cried. "This is illegal! You'll be arrested for this!"

Phineas stunned Mrs. Johnson with his gun. "Not if I can help it. Doofenshmirtz, capture them now, cause I'm having this itching feeling to use my knife on them next, and I want as many troops as possible!"

Doofenshmirtz looked reluctantly at the parents before aiming his Coition-Inator again.

However, before the scientist can fire, the doors behind them exploded, sending Phineas and Doofenshmirtz into the air. It was the O.W.C.A. bus, being driven by Carl. Standing on the roof was Perry, Fred, and Randy, brandishing their weapons. At the windows was the children, led by Ferb and Candace.

"MOM!" Baljeet, Buford, Irving, Django, Jeremy, Stacy, and the Fireside Girls all cried. "DAD!"

"It's our kids!" cried Holly's father Mr. Stoner.

Carl opened the bus doors and called, "GET IN, EVERYONE! HURRY!"

Seeing that their children were safe, the parents obeyed and boarded the bus, the injured Mr. Pratt and the stunned Beppo, Mr. Van Stomm, Mr. Rai, and Mrs. Johnson having to be supported by the others. Phineas and Doofenshmirtz tried fired their guns at them, only to have little success as Perry, Fred, and Randy fired back at them.

Phineas looked at Perry, and Perry stared back, trying to find a glimpse of the optimistic, caring Phineas he knew in his eyes, only to find nothing but evil within the eerie green. Perry bowed his head in respect for the part of his owner he once knew before firing a sphere from his weapon. The sphere hit Phineas's chest with full force, knocking the wind out of him. Screaming with rage, Phineas attempted to fire at the wheels, but by that time, every adult successfully boarded the bus, and Carl backed it out of the clothes store and then drove off into the glorious daylight.

"NNNNNOOOOO!" screeched Phineas. "THEY'VE ESCAPED AGAIN! AAARRRGGGHHH! THEY MUST NOT INTERFERE!" He turned to Doofenshmirtz. "DOOFENSHMIRTZ, IT IS TIME!"

"Time for what?" asked Doofenshmirtz. Phineas rolled his eyes and stunned him once again.

"OW! Why must you keep stunning me?"

"Because you're an IDIOT," replied Phineas coldly. "Follow me, we're going back to DEI!"

"Well, at least we have the-" Doofenshmirtz began, but upon hearing Phineas growl with rage, he decided to not finish his sentence and merely followed the boy like an obedient dog following its master.

However, before the two can leave, a ringing pierced the silence. Phineas and Doofenshmirtz both looked back and saw that it was Mrs. Johnson's cell phone; apparently she dropped it when she was stunned.

Picking it up, Phineas saw that it was coming from the Johnson home and decided to do something. Taking out a device from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Doofenshmirtz looked confused as Phineas put the phone to his ear and answered the ringing.

"Hello?" Phineas said in, to Doofenshmirtz's surprise, Mrs. Johnson's voice.

"Hi, Mrs. Johnson, this is Mandy," a young female voice replied; the voice sounded a bit stressed. "I accidentally angered Suzy's pet poodle! I tried everything you said on your letter, but it's not working! What should I do?"

"Give it some food," replied Phineas randomly.

"Oh, okay," Mandy said, a bit confused. "Thanks, Mrs. Johnson."

"My pleasure." When Mandy hung up, Phineas hung up as well, removed the device in his mouth, and then he turned to Doofenshmirtz, smiling deviously.

"Change of plans, Doofenshmirtz," he said. "We're going to the Johnson house for a little visit."


David, Roderick, Byron, and Sid watched as Phineas and Doofenshmirtz left the store, the former still holding the Pizzazium Infinionite canister.

"Wow, for a youngster that kid sure has some spunk!" Roderick noted. "Maybe he can help us exact your revenge scheme, boss!"

"Yeah, good point, Roderick," replied David sinisterly. "Men, move out! We're gonna follow those two!"


Original A/N: Oh man, oh man, oh man! Now several parents know of the evil Phineas, Suzy and Mandy are in trouble, and the Red Triangle are about to gain four new members if Phineas approves! Oh man, I like how this is turning out! Do you?

It depends on your review! Oh, and speaking of which ... on to the reviews!

kitty with a chance: I'm so glad you're liking this! Oh, and by the way, I forgot to thank you for labeling this story as a Favorite.

trickquestion: I'm glad you like the new name for L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. And read my above Author Notes, for the rest of response is up there, just in case you skipped it.

FanficFemale (unsigned): They will find a way, but later. For now, continue to enjoy the story!

Linzerj: Thanks for your review and extra thanks for making my story a Favorite!

NattyMc: Yes, yes he is.

DaughterOfKronosPandFFanatic: And never has it been so entertaining to read reviews from you and others!

Brandon-The Real Spyro: I'm pleased that you loved my imaginary free cookie!

gab (unsigned): I will add more Phinabella to it, but later.

Zikmaster (unsigned): Nah, I will not get Phineas to kill a Doof Clone. I don't see him doing that even though he is exceedingly evil. And yes, I have more story plans after this. See my profile, for I have another story planned out and I have it described there.

Sugar n' Spice Princesses: I saw "Bullseye!" too, and I must say I loved it! I never really knew that the Turn-Everything-Evil-Inator actually made a reappearance; I thought Rodney just made an Inator that was similar to it. LOL!

Ten reviews, the most I've ever gotten for a chapter! WHOO-HOO! And that makes more than 80 reviews, YAY! Another 20 more or so and I'll be reaching the 100-review mark! Please keep up the good work, everyone! I love you all so much!

Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter! TheCartoonFanatic01 is out. PEACE!

New A/N: Welp, thus begins the point in this fic when things TRULY start escalating. As if things hadn't escalated in this fic already. XP

Also, for all of you old readers, well...hopefully you remember David's significance in the grand scheme of things. Please, no spoilers for the new readers!

Now, I'd like to thank the following for reviewing:

-Air-Crafter: Yes, 37 chapters. You're in for quite the ride!

-PhinabellaForLife22: Thanks! I'm glad you're so understanding.

-NP (guest reviewer):

1) Wow, that is quite the anecdote you got there. I'm so glad to know you have such a good history with this fic and P&F in general.

2) Yes, the user who saved the story has copies saved somewhere else. But believe me, I have no intention of deleting this ever again.

3) I don't think I've ever heard of many of the fics that you just described. Then again, I don't have an elephant's memory like you do. But I DO remember that crossover fic between the three different Time Shift episodes. It inspired me to try writing one of my own, and that was back when the first "Avengers" movie was such a hit, but that project of mine fell flat on its face.

4) Yes, this story truly is a fossil. So many things have since been contradicted by the canon. Maybe Jeff and Swampy read my fic so they can figure out what not to do for the show? XD

5) No, I stopped watching "Phineas and Ferb" halfway into its final season. I don't know why, though. College? Other fics that I wanted to pursue? Maybe I got tired of it? Anyway, now I DO know about the story of Ashley Simpson. And I DO remember making an exception for the "Act Your Age" episode. I think I tried writing a fic on it once, but deleted it out of dissatisfaction. (I sure had a pattern of deleting stuff I don't like back then.)

6) Thanks for pouring out your heart! It just warms my heart to know how many people were so thrilled and entertained by my first work. I know I can't replicate the success this fic had back in its heyday, but I really regretted deleting this on a whim. The aftermath of my decision changed my view of deleting works that I no longer like. Now, I just want to give this fic the dignity of still being available for people to read for free. I hope you stay tuned and enjoy the trip down memory lane! :D

Well, hope you enjoyed this re-posted chapter! TheCartoonFanatic01 is out. PEACE!
