Author's Note: At the time of this upload, I'm in the middle of scripting and drafting out comic panels for a full-on original project, which this version essentially beta tests as a fanon project. To those who've followed me for years now, thank you so much for the support! And I really hope you enjoy it!

In a dark metropolis consumed by thick layers of smog, surrounded by walls stretching from the gargantuan gothic castle, anthros of all kinds arrive to make their grand protest against their corrupt figure. One who advertised himself across the televised screens, blabbering on with his preaches of propaganda and self-worth. Never mind the cries of the people standing before his great cathedral, led by the Silver Wolf at the end of the crowd.
With a flaming blue aura around her fists, she announced to them, "This is what's keeping us back. Behind those walls are innocent souls used for the whims of a madman. Children are starving, crying out for compassion from their leader. And the only ones who receive it are the ones bringing in the big bucks! We won't stand for it any longer. We will remind Maximus of his place in this world. To serve the people. I will personally ensure the ones enslaved are released. And the ones responsible for keeping him in power will pay thanks to their own hands!"
The audience of thousands let out a loud roar in favor of her plan! And with the shot of a fireball in the air, the Leviathan yelled, "Thex belongs to the people!"
Among the army, the wolf's counterpart sporting his energy disks along his shoulders and arms motions for the manor gates. "This is it! Grab your hammers and tear that wall down!"
But just when everyone marched forward, all the guns of the shield walls deployed and aimed for the protestors, who in a split second put on breaks and proceeded to quickly tip-toe back to their starting position.
"Don't worry everyone," Levi assured them. "It's another one of his scare tactics. Just a trick."
Eating her words, she is the first to be struck back, caught in a shield bubble forming around her and cutting off her power from the inside.
"…Or maybe not."
From the top of the tower at the center of the manor, a bulbous machine descends with its rockets toward the helpless anthro standing firm in their cage. Its cockpit folds open where there is no one inside, apart from the hologram projection of the iron-clad horse dictating over the land.
"I'll give you this, outsider," he smirked. "For a newbie to this world, you're certainly driven. You'll look great in my collection for sure."
Carefully, the droid places her in its chassis, marching back for the manor gates opening up. Its rear guns have been trained on the citizens as it rotated its torso on its walk as the doors shut behind it. With everyone still watching from afar, the king remote-controlling the mech from his lavish throne looked to the old, cat-like sage accompanying him and gloated, "See Peppermint? Everything's under control."
The elder fluttered her blue robe and tapped her staff, "It's Rhetta. How ye arrived to naming me that bemuses me."
"You smell like it up close," the king mocked.
"This stops nothing," said Rhetta. "For millennia, this world has been ruled, neigh, united in the walls of a kingdom. Not a despot."
She presses close to the horse more aggressively without raising her voice. "Ye be their leader, and leaders know better than to challenge that which they serve. Dissent shall continue to rise should there be no change. Not an ounce of compassion, nor any doubts. Even the best of us, like your father before you, understood as much."
Very nonchalantly, the tyrant shrugged, "Yeah yeah, you tell me this story every time, ma'am. We both know how this is going to play out. But as you can see, I'm more than prepared to handle the crowd. What I'm wondering is, who else is dumb enough to advertise themselves as the head of resistance when they're just making it easier to come find them?"
Continuing to relax, he puts his leg over the other and rests his arms on the sides of the red and gold chair. "When they try and pull another fast one on me, I'll beat them at their own game."
He flicks the switch on the arm of his seat, broadcasting himself across the town's intercoms.
"Y'hear that, folks?! The doors are open! I'm not going anywhere!"
In the scuffle to retreat from the castle, Jerry had hidden behind the large monitors along the buildings where he easily blends in with the metal. Adding to his grip, Maximus let loose a full platoon of similarly armored drones patrolling the streets on their spider-like appendages, scanning their surroundings in a full range of motion. Every step leaves a faint rumble from there being so many of them. So much so that the citizens immediately flee the streets and hide in their buildings.
Still outside, Jerry assesses the situation. "Without Levi, no one's gonna rally against the king. I can always hire a mercenary, but they'll probably betray me for Maximus, or potentially be tracked down."
Scrambling for ideas, he slouches onto the bricked floor and strokes his hair. "This is a nightmare…"
It seems there's no other option than to gun it alone. The protestors have fled and all entrances are guarded by the heavily-armed drones. Each make no mistake that the moment he's spotted, he'll be gunned down by their twin turrets. Something he can survive with one shot but not hundreds at once. A similar show of strength Levi had against…the Chosen Ones.
"Wait…," he sits up and looks to the sky. "There is something I haven't considered…"

Episode 1: Reaching Out
TREMORTON
By the school football field, Brad witnesses Jenny doing her usual routine, defending the town from former Queen Vexus soaring slightly aboveground to attack with her fists. Jenny's not happy about this either as she throws a heavy knuckle punch to her face!
"First you tried earning the title of most popular girl in school," she says as she's kicked into a pole. "Now you wanna be the head cheerleader?! You've gone WAY too far, Vexus!"
"Actually, I was genuinely trying that time," the queen explained. "But I could never throw away a prime opportunity to humiliate you."
"I got'cha Jenn," Brad yells! "Use this!"
He tosses a fly swatter near Jenny's direction to grab with her extendo-arm and gently swats Vexus in the face multiple times like a kid poking an ant with a stick. Eventually, she gets tired of this and grabs the tool, breaking it in half in front of the robot.
"How insulting," she scoffed. "And here I would have assumed you had a swatter built into your systems."
"I used to, but I replaced it with this!"
Grinning, XJ-9 pulls out a huge can of bug spray with a mist that completely engulfs the alien!
"BAH! Your derogatory defenses will not protect you and your allies forever. I will have you under my heel once again!"
"Wait, when have you beat her," Brad asks.
"I…cannot remember." Vexus palms her forehead. "Hm. I think I'll go re-evaluate my life. Tata."
Conflicted, she flutters off to nowhere while Jenny returns to ground level with Brad asking, "How'd you know the swatter would stop her?"
"I didn't," he said. "Just forgot Tuck gave it to me earlier and I ran out of ideas."
Next to the two, a ghost portal spawns out of nowhere and Jimmy Neutron, shorter than the both of them, steps out to greet them.
"Greetings Jenny," he said. "I hope you're not busy right now."
"We just took care of Vexus so we've got time to chat," she answered.
"Not me," said Brad. "I've got my shift."
"Oh! My bad."
"Don't worry, it's overtime pay so I'm thrilled to death over it." Carbunkle walks off but he waves and tells them, "Good luck with whatever ya got coming up!"
Likewise, Jenny waves back. "See ya!"
"Glad to see I came just in time," Jimmy continues. "Unfortunately, our meetup is more business-oriented."
"What's the matter, Jimmy?"
"I'll explain when we get to my lab. There's something important that demands our attention."
RETROVILLE
Jimmy's lab's seemed to bring in more company than usual. Once again, Danny and Spongebob wait around after receiving a message from the boy genius over a radio. Danny's even come in casual as if he was recruited during an otherwise average day. Together, he and Squarepants briefed Jerry on their previous adventure together involving a rocky teamup with supervillains over an alien invasion that stretched across the universe. Fortunately, it only affected their worlds, as well as Jimmy's, Tak's, and the loud-mouthed Irken Invader Zim.
"That's basically what happened with Globulous," Danny finished.
"Really," Jerry says in surprise. "And he called himself Spongeglob?"
"Yep," answered Spongebob. "It makes me so proud to know I have a positive impact on people."
"Yeah. So much that it felt like 70% of our adventure was about you." Danny quickly apologized, "No offense."
"None taken."
Out comes Jimmy accompanied by Jenny from the Universe Portal Machine. Spongebob's first to announce, "Jenny! Nice to see you again!"
"Hey Spongebob," she nods. "Hey Danny." Seeing Jerry sitting and wagging his tail like a puppy, she asks, "Who're you?"
"My name is Jerry," he introduced. "I was born in this dimension and I'm back to save another."
Jimmy explains, "You see Jenny, last year through a few unlucky circumstances, we faced the original chosen one from Volcano Island. And Timmy wished Jerry to life to be with her in her travels through deep space."
"He can do that," she barked.
"Yeah, we're still trying to work out the morality of that, and it's got my folks scratching their heads," Danny added.
"It sure had us weirded out," said Jerry. "We've searched far and wide looking for a new home and eventually found one with people like us. It just so happens the world we moved to is ruled by a dictator named Maximus."
"Ooh, just like Globulous Maximus," Spongebob noted.
"Gee, he couldn't be anymore pretentious," Jenny asked.
"Well his real name's a secret," Jerry explained. "Probably changed it to sound cool."
Unimpressed, Danny casually rolled his eyes. "Typical supervillains."
"There's innocent people out there who needed us most. And since the two of us are cosmic beings, we wanted to help. Problem is, everyone there has the same potential as us, so we can't tank them like we could here."
Wondering what he means, Jenny questioned, "So you're saying the bad guys there are about as strong as you, if not more?"
"Yes," nodded Jerry. "Wish I could mince words here, but I can't. I know most of you fought Levi, and you know how she was."
"Last time, she was in a mech suit and blew holes in the sky when she threw a temper tantrum," said Danny. "Now there's a whole planet of you guys?!"
"A-again, pretty much," the wolf stuttered. "Levi's already been taken into custody, and there's no one else to turn to. For all it's worth, you're pretty much our last hope. The question is, are you guys prepared to handle what's out there?"
"No," shook Jimmy. "But we'll figure it out."
"We always do," Spongebob grinned with a thumb up.
"What about you, Jenny?"
"Still lost on a few things, but it's not a first for me," said the robot. "I'll figure it out and take over for Timmy. Speaking of, where is he?"
"Yeah, what happened to him," Jerry asked. "After all, he did give birth to…erm…wished for me."
"We agreed not to invite him to our next crossover," Danny quickly replied.
"Neigh," added the sponge.
"Plenty of good came out of it since his evil self had set the Leviathan free," Jimmy remarked. "But his wish could have had catastrophic consequences for the rest of the universe!"
"Ok, yep," Jenny nodded. "That fills me in on everything. I'm in."
"Fantastic," Jerry wagged. "I'll have to recharge though. Took a long time to get here. We leave at dawn!"
Danny suddenly asked, "Wait, do you mean this planet's dawn or one of ours?"
"This one. Wait, do you all have different time zones?"
"We do," answered Jimmy. "I really should consider establishing a universal one."
