Hope you had a good Christmas, and sorry this took a while. Yeah, for this story, chapters wont come quickly as the other stories. For this one, I'd say either one chapter every 1-2 weeks.
And again, I thank co-writer Itsnouse for this too.
In the underwater city of the Bikini Bottom, it's sole land critter, Sandy Cheeks, was currently waiting in line to order at the city's most popular fast food restaurant, the Krusty Krab. Though she was stuck behind Patrick, who was in the middle of ordering. It's grouchy cashier, Squidward, stood there both bored and annoyed.
"And then I'll have an um….hey what do you recommend, Squidward?" Patrick asked.
"I recommend you to JUST PICK SOMETHING ALREADY!" Squidward snapped. "You've been standing here for 15 minutes! Just order a Krabby Patty like you always do!"
"But I always have a Krabby Patty. I wanted to try something different!" Patrick said before thinking about his order again. "I know! How about a Krabby Patty."
Squidward grunted in annoyance, as he rang in the order. "You heard him." Squidward said, turning to the fry cook window.
After that, Sandy then approached Squidward and gave him a friendly greeting. "Howdy Squidward."
"Do I know you?" Squidward snarked.
Sandy rolled her eyes at the grumpy octopus. "Say, ain't Spongebob busy on that little escapade of his?" She asked. "How are ya'll cooking up Patties without him?"
"Simple! While me boy is off on his day off to save the universe, which he'll be paying for, I hired a back-up fry cook!" Mr. Krabs explained, as he came out of his office. "I can't afford another closed day!"
DING DING! "Order up." The cook said, as she put the patty on the counter with her metal hands, which Squidward then handed to Patrick.
"Wait, can I also have…uhh?"
"Too late! You already ordered now go away!" Squidward snapped.
"Aww." Patrick walked away, disappointed.
Sandy peaked over the counter. To surprise, it was none of than Plankton's computer wife filling for Spongebob. "Karen? Ya'll cooking the patties?"
"Eh, I promised to pay her if she deletes me formula after her shift!" Mr. Krabs explained.
"Money doesn't always come out of my printer, you know." Karen responded.
"You sure trusting her is a good idea? Ain't she married to your enemy?" Sandy questioned.
"Eh, he's too busy playing with three other grown adults, trying to fight a bunch of children." Karen snarked, still with her screen on the patties, as she flipped one over.
Mr. Krabs' eyes then widened as he looked around the restaurant before frowning at Squidward. "Squidward, what happened to me customers?!" Sandy's attention was then on the restaurant. Looking around, she saw a lot of the occupied seats were now empty, as Patties were now on the ground.
"I don't know. I wasn't paying any attention to them." Squidward responded apathetically.
Sandy the looked at Patrick in shock as something strange was happening. "Patrick, what in tarnation's going on with you?"
Patrick continued eating his patty, as the bottom half of his body disappeared. "What?" Patrick asked, as he swallowed his patty. However, the chunk of patty he ate fell to the ground. "Huh. Well that wasn't very filling." Patrick kept eating, not even noticing himself slowly disappearing. As he was finally out of sight, his patty dropped to the ground as well.
"Patrick!" Sandy called out. "Mr. Krabs, I think the customers are disappearing!"
"Shiver me timbers, you know what this means?! They won't leave a tip!"
"Oh no, Mr. Krabs! It's happening to you two!" Sandy pointed, as she saw Mr. Krabs' legs vanish.
The crustacean gasped at this sight. "No please! I wasn't supposed to go out this way! Please! I'm too old to go!" Mr. Krabs cried, as he was on the floor pounding his claws, until he was visible no more.
"Uhh...what's...going...on?" Squidward asked, slightly perturbed. His eyes widened, as he noticed his legs were disappearing.
Sandy gasped. "Squidward! Not you too!"
Sauidward started to panic. "No! Not like this! I never even got to be a star! No no NOOOO!" Squidward was finally gone.
"What in tarnation is going on around here?!" Sandy asked herself, with her hands against her helmet. She then pulled out a pair of binoculars, and looked through them past the Krusty Krab's giant windows to get a better view of what was going on in Bikini Bottom. Back in the kitchen, Karen had her eyes on Sandy, curious on what was going on outside the kitchen. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny green portal appeared in back of Karen, which she did not notice. Poking out of the portal was a moving USB cable, which was aiming towards a small port in the very back of Karen's head. "Karen, are y'all seeing this?!" Sandy asked. "Them fish out there are disappearing like flies!"
"Disappearing? That doesn't sound like something Plankton could do." Karen responded, going through the kitchen door. The portal seemed to follow her. "We better head back to the Chum Bucket to investigate what this-" At that moment, the USB plugged into Karen's head, which began to short-circuit her. Karen was unable to do anything, as she put her hands against her head, stuttering as she was unable to finish her sentence.
"Karen?" Sandy ran towards Karen and gave her a concerned look. She then noticed the giant USB cord attached to her head. She also noticed the portal behind her.
"AH!" Suddenly, a metal tentacle shot out from the portal, wrapping up Sandy's right arm. As Sandy tried to fight off the tentacle, Karen stopped twitching, as her screen was now just a straight green line which wasn't moving. Sandy then used her left arm to chop the tentacle in half. The tentacle then slithered away into the kitchen and through the green portal, which then disappeared. "Where in the hay did that portal come from?"
Sandy then heard Karen's wheels roll, as the computer had her head down. As soon as Sandy turned around, Karen turned her attention towards Sandy as her green line then turned red. "NOW ACTIVATING, ELIMINATION MODE." Karen said in a monotone voice, as a giant red laser popped out on top of her head, zapping at Sandy. Sandy jumped out of the way as the laser struck the main cash register boat, making it explode. Sandy dodged the laser again as it struck a table.
"Karen! What's gotten into ya'?!" Sandy yelled. She then dodged Karen's laser again, which disintegrated the restaurant's front door, which Sandy ran out of, as she hid behind the dumpster. As Karen rolled out of the restaurant, tentacles appeared from her small metal pole of a body. She walked towards the side of the restaurant and found Sandy, and tried to blast her with the laser again. Sandy dodged it again, as the beam turned the dumpster into ashes.
Karen then wrapped all of her metal tentacles around Sandy's body. "I must terminate you!" Karen said, as she charged up her laser.
Suddenly, a green portal opened in front of the two, breaking Karen's attention. Out of the green portal was a small mechanical dog, aka Jimmy Neutron's pet dog, Goddard, who had its' eyes on Karen. Goddard opened its' mouth, giving a high pitched scream, which caused Karen to have a power surge, and get knocked out. Sandy landed on her two feet as Karen lost grasp of her.
"Why thanks um, little feller!" Sandy thanked Goddard, though she felt confused at the sight of both Goddard and the green portal. At that moment, Goddard's mouth opened. "Get inside the portal!" A female voice said from Goddard's speaker. "Trust me!" Goddard then walked back through the portal, disappearing out of Bikini Bottom. As Sandy hesitated to walk into the portal, Karen got up off the ground, casting a shadow under Sandy. As Karen was about to snatch Sandy, the squirrel jumped through the portal at the last minute. The portal closed before Karen had the chance to grab her.
...
As Sandy entered through the portal, she tripped over a small staircase, landing helmet first on the floor. As she got up, she looked around at her surroundings. "Hey, this here looks like some sort of laboratory!" Sandy said, as she took off her helmet. She then noticed three children standing in front of her. One was a chubby boy with big round glasses and an orange striped button-up shirt, the other was a girl with blond hair and a sleeveless shirt, and the last was a dark-skinned girl with dreads, a pink shirt and blue jeans. "Say uh, is this here all of your lab?" Sandy asked the children.
"No, it's my friend Jimmys'." Carl responded. "Though sometimes I wish it was."
"Welcome to the lab, uh…what's your name?" Libby asked.
"The names Sandy Cheeks. Weren't expecting to be meeting any land critters today!" Sandy said. As weird as it was to go to another world and see humans that were the same size as her, she had gotten used to it after the Volcano Island incident.
"I'm Carl." Carl greeted. "And these are my two friends, sort of, Cindy and Libby."
"So what made you bring me here?" Sandy asked.
"Look, I didn't want to do any of this, but we need you apparently, because our big-brained know-it-all friend Jimmy might be in danger." Cindy said.
"Jimmy? As in Jimmy Neutron? That boy genius who worked with my pal, Spongebob?" Sandy asked. "My little yellow pal must be in trouble then! What's going on with the both of those two?"
"We don't have a single clue, but whatever Goddard's been barking to us about, it's not good." Cindy said.
"Man, first my town's fish is disappearin', and now my friend is in trouble!" Sandy said to herself.
At that moment, an air vent cover popped out, and stepping out of it was another one of Jimmy's friends, Sheen Estevez. "AH HA! I knew I'd find a way in!" Sheen said.
"Sheeeen! Jimmy wants you to stay outside!" Carl snapped.
"Oh come on! He can't ban me from his lab forever!" Sheen complained.
"But you crashed his rocket!" Carl said.
"I said I was sorry! Besides it's long gone somewhere in the scary infinite vasts of space!" Sheen said.
"No it's not Sheen, and I should know, because you crashed it into my backyard, which by the way, IS STILL THERE!" Libby shouted. Of course, Libby wasn't kidding, because the nose of the rocket was still stuck to the ground of Libby's backyard.
"So what? You expect me to believe I dreamed what felt like a 50 episode show about my adventures in space?!" Sheen responded.
At that moment, Cindy and Sandy had no idea what was going on. "Uh, what's going on here?" Sandy asked Cindy.
"I don't know, just some stupid drama I don't care about." Cindy responded. "Ugh, why do I even care about saving Neutron!" Cindy annoyingly said, crossing her arms in annoyance.
"Me thinks the lady's mad because her little boyfriend didn't bother inviting her to his little crusades." Sheen teased, walking towards Cindy.
At that moment, Cindy pressed a button on the control panel, which made a pipe appear from the roof, sucking Sheen out of the lab. "For the record, I don't care about any of that, and Nerd-tron is NOT my boyfriend!"
"But I thought you two were dating." Carl said, as Cindy pressed the same button. Carl screamed as the pipe pulled him up, except he didn't get a chance to fly through it, because his body got stuck to the very entrance of the pipe. "Hey, this kinda tickles!" Carl laughed, while Libby gave him a weirded out look.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's find go chop us some baddies!" Sandy said, raising her arms up.
"Hold on there, girl. We still gotta wait for three other guys." Libby said. At that moment, Sheen slid through the open vent again.
….
At Amity Park, Casper High was having its' weekly football game. One of the spectators on the bleachers was Danny's best friend, Sam Manson, who was on the phone with his other friend, Tucker Foley. Tucker was actually on the field, as the school's raven mascot, near the goal post.
"You holding up there, buddy?" Sam asked.
Down on the field, Tucker was completely aggravated at the moment. Then, a football player rammed into him, breaking the beak off the costume in the process. "Man, this was supposed to be Danny's turn tonight!" Tucker said, talking on his PDA. "He just had to bail on me!"
"It wasn't Danny's fault, Tucker." Sam responded, though she began to feel slightly annoyed. "He's just saving the world with his superhero buddies again. It's not like he needs us."
"You know, you still sound a little more annoyed about it than I am." Tucker said, as a smirk popped on his face.
"Why would I be mad?" Sam asked. "If he doesn't need me, I mean, us to help him, then that's fine with me!" Sam said, as at that moment, another player rammed into Tucker.
"Thanks for a soft landing, birdy!" A football player said, as he got off the ground. As he walked back to the center of the field, he stepped on Tucker's leg. "Either he takes the next two weeks, or I'm bailing out for good!" A frustrated Tucker told Sam.
Both teams lined up back on the center of the field, as Dash called a hike. Dash ran to the goal line with the ball in his hand, but as soon as he was at the line, he noticed that not only was the ball gone, but so were both of his hands. The team angrily glared at him and the Casper High Raven supporters started booing him, but Dash didn't notice as he began freaking out at his disappearing arms. "Dude, are you okay?" one of the players asked Dash.
"Somebody help! I think I'm fading!" Dash said, struggling to keep still.
"I told you not to drink those muscle-enhancing drinks man!" Kwan said, as the team then glared at Dash again.
"I-I don't know what he's talking about!" Dash stuttered, giving a nervous look. He then screamed as the rest of his body disappeared. However, none of the crowd took any attention to this, and they kept booing and throwing their food at the team. Sam, however, was the only one who actually paid any attention to it.
"Tucker, did you just see what happened to Dash?" Sam asked.
"No, but something's happening to me!" A panicking Tucker yelled, as Sam heard him screaming through the phone. She turned her direction towards the goal post, as she then saw Tucker's mascot costume fall to the ground, as if air was holding up the costume. After seeing this, Sam ran off the bleachers to where Tucker was, and soared past the cheerleaders. As she reached the goal post, she saw Tucker's costume on the floor. As she picked up the costume by its chest, the busted up raven head fell to the ground. Then she heard the crowd begin to scream, as she saw each of the players on each team begin to disintegrate, one by one.
"Yep, this can't be good." Sam said. Suddenly, a green portal opened beside her, as stepping out of it was Goddard, replaying Cindy's message to her.
…..
Stepping out of the portal, behind Goddard, was Sam. "Now you I remember!" Sandy said happily. "You're that Sam feller, Danny's best friend, from when we were frolicking on Volcano Island!"
"Sandy? It's good to see you again." Sam happily greeted. "Alright, this better be good. My town might be in big trouble."
"Actually, Carl, Cindy and Libby here told me our friends are in a heap of trouble!" Sandy responded.
"Though I still don't get why they need us, if they can easily handle themselves!" Cindy said.
"Let me guess: you're mad because your friend didn't take you." Sam said.
"No! Wait, how did you know that?" Cindy asked.
"Just a lucky guess." Sam responded, sarcastically.
"Are you mad your friend didn't invite you too?" Sandy asked.
"Of course not! Why would I be mad over something as stupid as that?" Sam responded, gripping her fists. "Are you?"
Sandy laughed. "Naw. I'm proud of the little guy. Getting to be a hero an all."
"Even though you're stronger than him but keep getting passed over anyway?" Sheen asked, popping up between the two. Cindy then pressed the button on the panel again, having another pipe suck him back over ground.
Meanwhile, Carl was still stuck in the air. "Um, I'm still up here?"
"Goddard, please cover the vent." Cindy ordered Goddard. Goddard walked toward the vent as he took out a screwdriver, and headed towards the open vent. As soon as he finished bolting the cover, Goddard left through the portal that was now programmed to head to Dimmsdale.
"Is there anybody else left we gotta wait for, girls?" Sandy asked.
"Just Timmy's friends, AJ and Chester." Libby said. Sandy and Sam glanced at each other, both fearing the same thing.
Everyone heard a loud bang. "OWWW!" Sheen groaned as he hit the vent's cover.
Suddenly, the computer started buzzing the words 'NOT AVALIABLE'.
"Not available?" Cindy asked. "What other friends does Timmy have?"
….
As Dimmsdale was still dealing with the disappearances, one house remained perfectly intact, to where the sun continued to bloom over it: The Carmichael house.
And across from it was the house of the most well-known, popular and evil babysitter: Vicky. Inside that house, the sitter's younger sister, Tootie suddenly burst out her house and ran towards the house next to the Carmichael house: The Turner residence. Upon seeing her father and the other men fade away, Tootie thoughts then went to Timmy, fearing that whatever's happening could have affected him too. She panted as she ran up to the house before banging on the door. "TIMMY! Are you ok? AH!" She then jumped as she saw a green portal pop out in between the Turners and Carmichaels houses, and out of it came Goddard. "Hmm, what's this?" Tootie asked, as she saw Goddard head towards the Carmichael residence. "That cute little doggy is heading towards Chloe's house! I bet he must know where Timmy is!" Tootie said to herself, as she continued to watch Goddard walk towards Chloe's doorstep. She then frowned at the thought of Chloe. She couldn't understand why Timmy would hang out with someone like her. "That boy stealing goody two shoes is not going to find Timmy before I do!" Tootie shouted to herself. "I'M COMING TIMMY!" Immediately, she ran towards the portal. Before Goddard could get the chance to ring Chloe's doorbell, he saw Tootie run towards the portal, and barked loudly as her ran to the girl.
..
Tootie flew into the lab, head first into the ground. Everyone in the room had no idea who she was, seeing her from only the back of her black hair with two pig tails.
"That doesn't look like Chester or AJ." Carl remarked.
"No duh." Libby responded.
Tootie lifted her head off the ground. Her eyes widened as she looked around. "W-where am I?
"Um, are you okay?" Cindy asked, as she offered the girl her hand. However, as she got a good look at Tootie's appearance, she suddenly realised who she was. "Hey wait, aren't you that weird stalker that Timmy told me about?"
Tootie looked at her in shock before getting up by herself. "How do you know Timmy?"
"Uhh..." Considering her past with Timmy, this conversation just got really awkward. Cindy then decided to change the subject. "Wait, how did you even get in here? Goddard was trying to find AJ and Chester, not you!"
"I was worried about Timmy! But then I found this cute little doggy here, and he led me to all of you!" Tootie explained. She then scowled. "Besides, I had to find him before that Timmy-stealing witch found him! That evil, soul sucking, boy-stealing, evil goody two shoes, Chloe Carmichael!" Tootie raised a picture of Chloe smiling, which the girls looked at.
"Pardon me, but she doesn't look evil at all!" Sandy said.
"No, but...I don't know what it is but she looks really annoying." Sam remarked.
"She looks pretty." Carl said, as all the girls glared at her. "What?" Cindy pressed a button on the control panel, which released Carl from the pipe, and gave him a hard fall to the ground. "AH!"
"That, and I'm pretty sure AJ and Chester disappeared, like all the boys in the world!" Tootie added.
"All the boys in the world? What are you talking about?" Cindy asked.
"All the boys disappeared, both kids and adults!" Tootie said. She then sniffled. "Even my dad disappeared."
"You mean, like all the fish in my hometown?" Sandy asked.
"And the boys at my school?" Sam asked.
"Even worse, if all the guys are gone then my beautiful Timmy must have disappeared too!" Tootie said, tearing up.
"Something about this seems fishy." Sam said.
"Sounds like all of these disappearances are connected in some way!" Sandy said.
"Then what are we waiting for?!" Sheen shouted, popping out of nowhere and startling the girls. "TO THE HOVERCAR!"
"Where did you even come from?!" Cindy asked.
"The sewers! I don't live under a rock you know!" Sheen responded. "Though I think I saw someone swimming in there too. But I might just be imagining things again!"
There was a moment of silence. "You're weird!" Tootie said.
Suddenly, Carl put his hand over his stomach. "Uh guys, I feel kinda funny." Carl said, as he collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
"Carl?" Cindy asked, worried.
"Oh no, Carl's beginning to vanish! It's happening here!" Sandy panicked.
"You can't go, Carl! Fight it, Carl! FIGHT IT!" Sheen said, comforting him as Carl was lying on the floor. Then Carl gave a big loud burp.
"Oh great! Lardo wasn't vanishing, he was just being gross again!" Cindy said, fanning her hand over her nose.
"Sorry, that was my breakfast." He said. Then his legs began to actually disappear, which made the girls gasp, and Sheen back away in horror. "What?" Carl then looked at his legs. "Uh oh."
"Now it's happening!" Sandy exclaimed.
"Oh, why did I have to go out this way?" Carl said, as half of his chest was gone. "Please, tell my mom, my dad, and Judy that I LOVE HERR!" Carl then vanished for good.
"Judy?" Sandy asked.
"Jimmy's mom." Libby answered.
"Ew!" Sam and Sandy remarked.
"We know." Cindy remarked, though still freaked out by what happened with Carl.
Libby then gasped again as she saw Sheen. "Sheen, you're disappearing too!"
Sheen saw his legs disappear. "Whoa...epic!"
"Epic? You're fading from existence!" Sandy shouted.
"This just reminds me of episode 122 of Ultra Lord, where the Booger Swamp Thing deletes Ultra-Lord out of existence, and Ultra Lord took it and told him 'You can delete me, but I will come back to defeat you, vile monster'! Or was he screaming in pain? Yep, he was. AHHHHHHHH!" Sheen continued to scream until he was completely gone. "Sheen!" Libby called out again.
Then, Goddard started barking, as the girls looked his at his purple legs, to where he began to disappear from his metal paws. "Oh no, Goddard!" Libby said, as the two girls ran to him.
"Even him too?!" Sandy said. "Why, this is happening to all the guys! And not just humans!"
Cindy and Libby had their hands on Goddard's metal box body, as the dog whimpered and cried during his last seconds. At that moment, Goddard's metal box body vanished, as the two girls had nothing to hold on to. "It's okay, Goddard!" Cindy said, trying to reassure him. "We'll find out who did this. We'll bring you and Jimmy back!"
Goddard gave a happy whimper, as his head finally vanished. "That poor little robo dog!" Sandy cried.
Then, the computer started flashing "DANGER", as Cindy pressed a button on the keypad. The computer revealed a map of Retroville, where dots kept disappearing from the screen. "Oh no, the men are disappearing in Retroville too!" Libby said.
"My dad! Humphrey!" Cindy cried. "They all must be gone!"
"It sounds like whoever's doing this is going from world to world!" Sam said.
"That tears it!" Sandy said. "I'm done hiding! We're gonna find the vermin who did this and squat that little pest like a bug!"
"You're ready for this, Lib?" Cindy asked, trying to keep herself together.
"Of course I am, girl!" Libby responded. "No matter what happens, we are sticking together!" Suddenly, Libby's phone rang, and she answered it. "Hello? Mom?" Her eyes widened before calming herself. "I-I know. Don't worry mom, me and Cindy are going to…right now? But Mom, I promised Cindy I'd…fine. Don't worry, I'm coming over there!" She hung up the phone and gave the group an apologetic look. "I'm sorry guys. My Dad's gone and...my mom needs me."
"What? But I thought we were sticking together, Libby! You can't just expect me to go with some squirrel, a goth and some freak!" She then turned to the three next to her. "No offense."
"It's okay, Cindy. You got this! Besides, don't you wanna prove you'd be better at this than Jimmy?" Libby asked.
"I don't need to prove that." Cindy joked, as the two laughed.
"Now do me a favor, and kick whoever did this' butt!" Libby said, leaving the lab by the sliding doors. Cindy then turned to the three. "Well, I guess it's just the four of us now." Suddenly, Jimmy's door slid open and closed.
"Libby?" Cindy asked. However, for the four, they saw no one near the door.
"Did ya'll expect any more visitors?" Sandy asked. She didn't notice that hanging onto the edges of the roof above her, was a person in a black catsuit and mask. She let go of the roof and was about to land on Sandy.
"HI-YA!" Sandy kicked her away from her, as the person crashed onto a table, breaking it in half. "Don't think I know a sneak attack when I hear one!" she said, as the girls ran to the person in the black suit.
"Wait, I know who this is." Cindy said, as she took off the black mask. Underneath it was the passed out head of Beautiful Gorgeous. "It's Beautiful Gorgeous!"
"…is that really her name?" Sam asked.
….
Beautiful Gorgeous woke up after what felt like hours, as she saw she was tied to Jimmy's computer chair with rope, as she struggled to get out. "What? Where am I?" she asked herself.
"Hello, Beautiful!" Cindy greeted in a menacingly tone.
"You! You're Jimmy Neutron's little girlfriend." Beautiful Gorgeous said. "Never thought I'd run into you again."
"What are you doing inside Jimmy's lab?" Cindy asked.
"Oh nothing, I'm just paying my targets a visit." Beautiful responded. "Now, could you please untie me? This chair is really uncomfortable!"
"I bet she knows something about why all of our friends are disappearing!" Tootie said, pointing at Gorgeous.
"What? You mean the whole all men disappearing thing? Well, I might know a thing or two about it. If you untie me, I'll let you in on it." Beautiful said.
"Forget it, um, Beautiful?" Sam asked. "Okay, no offense, but is that really your name?"
"My father got the idea from those dumb spy movies he used to obsess about." Beautiful responded, as she began to reach something in her back pocket. It was a small metal ring, as she slid it from her finger while she kept talking. "I had to live with that name all throughout school! I don't even think the teachers ever said my name, since they were so afraid of lawsuits."
"We don't care! We ain't letting you go!" Sandy stated.
Beautiful sighed, as she continued cutting through the rope. "Well, I guess we're going to do this the hard way." Beautiful then broke through the rope, and kicked Sandy across the lab. She then tried to grab for something by her leg, only to look confused that it wasn't there.
"Looking for this?" Sandy taunted, as she spun Beautiful's laser gun by the trigger, then pointed it at her.
"Curses! You caught me! Looks like I have no other choice but to..HI-YA!" Beautiful jumped in the air, and grabbed a weapon on a nearby shelf. She then shot it at Sandy, which after being blasted by it, turned her into cheese.
"Sandy!" Sam called out.
"Cheese?!" Beautiful said. "Eh, it will do." She then pointed the gun at the three girls.
"So you are working with whoever's responsible for those disappearances!" Cindy stated.
"I'm not working with whoever's responsible for the disappearances, because the truth is…I'M, responsible for the disappearances." Beautiful then gave her evil laugh.
"Please don't do that laugh again." Sam said. "It's kinda annoying."
"You? You're the last person I'd think who would do something as crazy as this!" Cindy said.
"Well I did! I've been thrwarted my whole life by men like Neutron, and my fiancée Jet Fusion, and now, I'm getting rid of them for good! So I used one of my father's machines to do the job."
"That's kind of a pretty weak motivation." Sam said.
"But what about your dad? You can't just get rid of your own father!" Cindy asked.
"Oh please, that old rust bucket only had a few more years left in him anyways! Besides, I don't need him. I'm a full grown villainess! And now, that I've caught all of you, I'm ready to eliminate all of you." Cindy then turned around in the corner, as she spotted Jimmy's Hypno Beam.
"You monster! You took our friends and family and my future husband away from us!" Tootie said.
"It's okay. You won't care about any of this when I'm finished with you. Now, say cheese." Beautiful said, as she was about to shoot Tootie with the cheese ray. As Tootie flinched and closed her eyes, fearing what the gun would do to her, Sam looked at Cindy, who pointed her head towards the beam.
"Did you really have to make that pun?" Sam asked.
"Okay, one more side comment from you, goth freak, and I'm blasting you instead of her!" Beautiful said, aiming the gun at her.
"What? I'm just saying, for a cool-looking villainess like you, you really aren't that threatening." Sam said, as Cindy began walking towards the beam.
"Oh yeah? Well…blame my dad. He modeled my life after those stupid spy movies! But I knew I never wanted to be this, because I wanted to be a…Hey!"
Cindy grabbed the hypno beam, and shot it at Beautiful, completing stunning her. As Cindy held the hypno beam, Sam grabbed the Cheese ray, flipped a switch to 'Reverse', and restored Sandy back in her body. "Huh? What just happened?"
"Beautiful told us she's the one responsible for the disappearances!" Tootie explained.
"She was?! Why that no good pile of.."
"Don't attack her just yet, Sandy! Something tells me she's not the one behind all this!" Cindy said. "You, you're about to tell us everything!"
"Okay."
"Were you behind the disappearances of all the men in Retroville, plus Sandy and Tootie's worlds too?"
"No I wasn't."
"Really, then who is?"
"I have no clue. I was brainwashed into destroying you." Beautiful said.
"Brainwashed? By who?"
"Again, I have no clue."
"Say, that sounds just like what happened to my friend, Karen." Sandy said. "I gotta go back to the Bikini Bottom!"
"You, now when I snap my fingers, here's what you're gonna do: you're gonna leave Jimmy's lab, turn yourself in back to the prison you escaped out of, and then forget any of this ever happened!" Cindy then snapped her fingers, as Beautiful did several backflips out of the lab.
"That should hold her off." Cindy said, as she dropped the beam and headed back into Jimmy's computer. "Now lets go to Bikini Bottom!" Cindy then began programming Jimmy's portal to take them Bikini Bottom. "Alright girls. I may not know any of you at all, but hopefully, I can depend on all three of you. Together, we're going to bring back all of our friends and family. Who's with me?" Cindy then raised her hand.
"I'm in!" Sam said.
"I'm in!" Sandy said.
"I'm in! I'll do anything for Timmy!" Tootie said, giving an annoyed glare at Cindy.
"I guess I'm gonna have to get used to this." Cindy said.
Yep, one more chapter after this, and then that's it for this decade. The story will continue somewhere in January afterwards.
