A/N: Here's the next chapter. The top name for the series someone's given me so far is my NvEoUrTtReOxN "insignia". If you have any better ideas for the title, please tell me, but for now, please just R/R.
Jimmy put his hands in his pockets as he inspected his rocket from a distance. If the turbo boosters didn't work, then he'd be in real trouble. But, as he examined the rocket, he realized he wasn't really concerned about his safety. Rather, he was thinking about Cindy. If something happened to her, it would be his entire fault.
"So? Are we going yet?" Cindy asked impatiently from the backyard doorway.
"Yeah, hold on. I just need to check the Drive Sequence," he replied without looking up. "It should only take a few minutes."
"Okay, Nerdtron. Call me when it's ready."
"It's ready," Jimmy said immediately.

Cindy gripped the seat tightly as the rocket began to vibrate violently. Orange flames spewed from underneath, charring the pavement below. Jimmy and Goddard sat directly in front of her. Without warning, the rocket lifted off the ground, slowly at first, but quickly gaining speed. Cindy looked down to see the ground almost a hundred feet below. She smiled inside.

"Catch Jimmy Neutron." King Goobot stood (floated) in front of the two Yolkian pilots. "We have proof that he and the girl are heading for the Control Ship. Make sure they don't make it. I want them alive. Don't fail me."

"Uh-oh." Jimmy stared at the blips on his radar.
"What do you mean 'uh oh', Neutron?" Cindy asked, hiding the concern in her voice.
"I think the aliens found us out," Jimmy replied worriedly.
A low rumbling sound seemed to answer him.
"I'm too low. I can't go any faster."
"Why not?" Cindy asked. The enemy ships were in sight now. They glowed green in the afternoon sun.
"Oh no! At the rate we're going, we're going to a head-on collision! I'll have to slow it down a little." Jimmy pulled a lever as far back as possible. Cindy could almost hear the rocket screech in mid-air. The Yolkian fighters grew nearer… and quickly.
"Hold on, Cindy! There's going to be some heavy turbulence!" Jimmy called. It was too late. The ship's rocking was so hard, she lost her grip on the seat and smacked her head on the metal backing of Jimmy's seat. She cried out in pain, before the darkness engulfed her.

"Mission accomplished, right?" the Yolkian asked his partner.
"Yeah. They'll have to land soon, and then we'll catch 'em!"
"I like your plan. Neutron is ours!"

"Goddard, take the controls." Jimmy told his dog as he cautiously crawled into the back. "Cindy? Cindy? Are you okay?" he whispered as he shook her gently. She stirred slightly and opened her eyes. "Cindy? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I would like a cup of lima bean sandwiches," Cindy muttered dreamily. She closed her eyes and went out again.
Jimmy shook his head. "I guess that's a no."

"Sir! They're still coming!" the Yolkian whirled around to face his commander.
"Impossible! Close all docking bays!"
"Commander Magoo, they're jammed! I can't get a signal!"
The Yolkian commander considered his options. "Get some soldiers on every docking platform. We have direct orders from the king not to let them through."
"Aye-aye, sir!"
There we go. I haven't been able to write much lately, because I've been bogged down on homework. Make sure you check out my Cartoon Anime Survivor, and for now, please review!
