John and Jimmy stared at each other. Libby and Sheen were hiding in the kitchen. "Why him, John? Why Carl?' Jimmy asked, sadness being replaced by anger.

Everyone paused for a moment as a heavy rain started to pour from the sky. "You will pay for everything that you've done to me, Jimmy Neutron. And so will your friends," he told him. John pointed one of his guns at Libby. He fired, and then let loose another few rounds at Sheen.

Jimmy and Cindy stood there frozen. This is not how they had expected it to end. Here they were, twenty feet from John. Their enemy had two guns. He would shoot them dead before they got halfway to him. There was nothing that they could do. They stood there, defeated.

"Any last words, Neutron?" John said as thunder rumbled outside.

Jimmy thought for a moment, praying for a brain blast. "It doesn't have to end like this, John. You can change your destiny," Jimmy said, stalling for time. He watched the window, praying each time he saw a strike of lighting.

"Good-bye, Jam-," John started to say.

"Doesn't Cindy get to say some last words?" Jimmy quickly shouted.

"No!" an agitated John yelled. He aimed his guns at Jimmy and Cindy. Just before he fired, though, the lights went out. "Shit!" John yelled as he saturated the room with bullets. Jimmy and Cindy hit the floor and covered their heads.

In the meantime, the future Jimmy was staring at the monitors, watching his friends be gunned down. "No! It won't happen again!" he shouted as he turned off the monitors. He measured his lab's power. "Damn it to hell!" he shouted as he realized that he didn't have nearly enough energy to do anything.

"Uh, Jimmy," Cindy told him.

"Not now, I'm thinking," he told her as he paced around and rubbed his head.

"JIMMY! Look!" she shouted.

Jimmy spun around and saw several robots flying towards the two of them. He was scared stiff, but he couldn't help but stare in awe. It had been over twenty years since he had seen any sign of civilization.

"Let's get out of here!" Cindy shouted as she began to run away. Jimmy grabbed her arm and pulled her to a stop as she ran by.

"No," he solemnly told her. "For thirty years I've been running. I've run from danger, I've run from my past, I've even run from my responsibilities. I ruined my past self's life. It's time I step up and fight."

Cindy stared at the approaching robots. "Jimmy, those are the most advance fighting systems that I've ever," she started to explain to him.

Jimmy covered her mouth. "Either shut up and fight or run. It ends here," he quietly told her. He bent down and picked up a metal pipe that was laying in the rubble.

"IT ENDS HERE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran towards the enemy.
