"Bring them in here," Professor Calamitous instructed as they entered his hideout. The guards took Jimmy and Cindy into a dining room. They looked at each other and shrugged, but took a seat, as did Calamitous. The guards backed up against the dining room's walls. They placed Goddard in a cage next to them.

"Well, if it isn't little Jimmy Neutron. It's been quite a while since we've seen each other, hasn't it? I believe three years?" Calamitous asked as he started to eat his dinner.

"Um, yes. It's been way too long. Well, Cindy and I have to get back to Retroville, so, uh, see you later," Jimmy said as he stood up. All of the guards aimed their guns at Jimmy.

"Sit, Neutron. So, have you been having a rough time in Retroville? I heard that there have been quite a few murders there," Calamitous said in a knowing tone.

"Ugh. Look, can we skip the whole revealing every step of your ingenious plan cliché?" Jimmy exasperatedly told him.

"Fine, have it your way. Well, that saves me quite a bit of time, so I guess we can skip dinner," Calamitous stated as he got up.

"Alright, whatever," Jimmy said as he and Cindy stood up also. Jimmy reached into his pocket and threw something into his mouth.

"Alright, hands up! What the hell was that?" Calamitous shouted as he pulled out his gun and aimed it at Cindy and Jimmy.

"Calm down, Calamitous! They're just jawbreakers," Jimmy said as he opened his hand to reveal several small, black balls. "Do you want one?" he asked as he continued to suck on the one in his mouth.

"No thanks, I never did like sweets," Calamitous said in an oddly normal tone. "Anyway... guards! Leave the room, and take that stupid dog with you. Have it dismantled immediately," Calamitous instructed as his henchmen left the room, which left just Cindy, Jimmy, and himself.

"What are you going to do now?" Jimmy asked.

"I am going to put you in a room. I will have my newest and most inexperienced henchman stand at the door with his back to you. You will be placed in a series of easily escapable chains. You will then be lowered from the ceiling at a ridiculously slow rate into a pool of acid. I'll leave the room and just hope that everything goes well," Calamitous said as he took a few steps back and continued aiming his gun at them.

"Really?" Jimmy asked, his voice full of hope.

"No, you idiot. I'm going to shoot you in the head right now," he told them while chuckling evilly.

"Wait! Can I just say one thing before you kill us?" Jimmy shouted in a pleading tone.

"Alright, what?" Calamitous said in a tired voice.

"You have got to stop with the clichés," Jimmy said as he spit out the smoke bomb.
