Cindy couldn't take it anymore. For the past twenty-four hours she had been trying to figure out a way to escape, but it seemed impossible. Calamitous was surely monitoring her every move, even if she couldn't find any security cameras. Those gun turrets mounted on the ceiling weren't making things any easier. There wasn't even a visible door! She felt like a mouse in a cage.
Why hadn't anyone come to help her? Was Calamitous' hideout that hard to find? I wish he had never moved. Jimmy would have found me by now. She hadn't even spoken to him for months. Everyone in Retroville had moved on with their lives, even Carl and Sheen. Jimmy probably didn't even know she was gone. Besides, he had a new life now. He probably wouldn't even care.
She thought back to the day he had moved away. She had come so close to admitting her feelings, but she just couldn't. Besides, he was in love with that skank Betty Quinlan. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered the last trip the five of them had taken, a picnic on the moon. Jimmy and she had actually gotten along, something that almost never happened.
Jimmy had actually given her his lab. He had said that he couldn't bring it with him. After all she had put him through; he had given her his most prized possession. It was the nicest thing that anyone had ever done for her. Oh well, what does it matter now? I'm going to die here anyway. Just then she thought she heard some guns being fired. She couldn't be sure, her cell was almost soundproof. She allowed herself a flicker of hope, but no one came to her rescue.
She was heartbroken. She went back to her bed and cried. All of a sudden the speaker crackled and she looked up.
Jimmy awoke to find himself naked and strapped to a metal bed. His wrists, ankles, and neck were strapped down with thick bands of metal. He tried to get out of them, but he could barely move. He was shivering, the bed was really cold.
"Well, well, well. Like a moth to the flame, Jimmy comes to rescue Cindy."
"Professor Calamitous! What's going on?" Jimmy yelled.
"JIMMY!" Cindy screamed. She waited for a response, but Professor Calamitous had changed it so that the speaker only worked one-way now.
"After all of this time I finally have you Jimmy. There is no way you can escape. You may have beaten me before, but it's different now. I am not taking any chances. I have made sure you have none of your little toys to help you, which is why you are laying there in that manner. And as for your little puppy, well," Professor Calamitous motioned to a pile of charred metal.
"You're insane!" Jimmy screamed, fighting back tears. His best friend was destroyed. "How the hell did you escape from the past!"
"It wasn't easy, Neutron. Luckily for me that stupid Yolkian's shell had some good raw material for a time machine. Of course, the others didn't fare too well. I'm the only one who survived."
"You mean, all the others, even my cousin..." Jimmy couldn't finish.
"Why yes Jimmy, they all died."
"Wait a minute, that means Beautiful," Jimmy said before he was interrupted.
"Yes! My daughter is dead thanks to you!" Calamitous yelled. He ran over and smacked Jimmy hard across the face.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen."
"You didn't mean for that to happen? What did you think was going to happen! Did you think that the dinosaurs would invite us over to play poker and we'd all be pals? Well they didn't! Do you know what it's like to run from danger, escape to safety, and think its over? And then you look back and see that your daughter is lying there, dead! You sentenced us to death! No, death is quick and painless. You did worse, you stupid bastard. You sent us to Hell!" Professor Calamitous was screaming and running around like a madman. Jimmy was amazed to see a few tears roll down his cheeks.
"I didn't, I didn't mean to," Jimmy was cut off by a sharp punch to the gut that made him gasp for breath.
"You are going to pay. You will pay for this Jimmy Neutron. Let's see how you like watching the person you care about most die," Calamitous said, an evil grin spreading across his face.
"Stop! It's me you're mad at, not Cindy! I did this to you! Don't kill her kill me! She has nothing to do with this! Let her go!"
Cindy was sitting on her bed, too scared to move. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had never realized that Professor Calamitous was human, that he could have feelings. Nor had she thought about what would happen to the League of Villains. She had just forgotten about them and moved on.
Professor Calamitous pressed a button and a giant screen appeared on the wall right in front of Jimmy. Cindy appeared on it.
"Calamitous, no! Think about what you're doing!" Jimmy saw the speaker in Cindy's cell, and by the look on her face he realized that she could hear everything that was going on.
"Welcome to Hell, Jimmy!" Calamitous pushed another button and the gun turrets released a torrent of bullets.
