I DO NOT OWN JIMMY NEUTRON!!

Once they were inside the palace (or what the warriors called a palace. It was really just a very fancy house!), Cindy noticed Libby, Sheen, and Carl were not there.

"What have you done with the three you kidnapped from Retroville?" Cindy asked, angrily.

"They are in the dungeon. Take boy with funny hair to dungeon, as well."

Cindy watched as Jimmy was taken through a tall, eerie door and led away. Her eyes brimmed with tears, but she refused to let them spill out.

"Take this girl to future chief Mikamenshia and his wife!"

Cindy was led by the arm through another door, to a beautiful, large room with silk hanging off every wall. Despite her situation, she was impressed.

"Oh, royal future chief Mikamenshia! We have brought your wife's slave from Retroville!"

A yellow chair spun around and it contained...

"No way!" Tall, dark, brown eyes...he looked just like..

"Yep. He looks just like Sheen," I heard a familiar voice say unhappily.

"Libby!" Cindy rushed to her best friend's side and gave her a hug, "I'm so glad you're ok! But how could he...how could you? What is going on?"

Cindy sat down beside her best friend as the tears she thought Libby never shed streamed down her face.

"I was on my way to the Candy Bar with..." she paused but then continued, "To meet you, I mean, when these ninja dudes jumped out and took me! They wanted me to write a note to Jimmy so he would come save me. I didn't really understand, but you know, whatever. So I wrote the note and gave it to this one ninja and he headed towards the school with it."

"Where he kidnapped Sheen and Carl and taped the note on Sheen's locker!" Cindy said, everything beginning to make sense.

"Sheen is here!" Libby asked, her eyes suddenly brightening, "I mean uhh...Sheen and Carl are here, too. That's terrible."

"Yeah," Cindy looked confusing at her friend, but then turned to the future chief, "Ok. Libby's your wife and I'm the slave. Now let Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl go!"

"I am not to let anyone go. I must sacrifice the boy with funny hair and boy with STRANGE personality!"

Libby looked terrified, "Why?"

"Well, the reason is very simple, my queen..."

"Hey! Nobody calls me that but..." Libby interrupted but noticing the odd look on Cindy's face answered simply, 'Never mind."

"Well, the reason is simple. I must destroy the one you cherish and according to my leader...this boy is very special to you. And the boy with funny hair is special to your slave girl."

"NO THEY AREN'T!" Cindy and Libby replied in unison, suddenly blushing deeply.

"Then it should not bother you for them to be sacrificed to the volcano god?"

"YES!"

"That is what my leader told me you would say because deep down you REALLY care about them."

"How does your Dad know who and who we don't care about?" Cindy asked.

"Oh, my father is not our true leader. It is..."

"ME!" an all too familiar voice replied in the corner.

"MELDAR!"
