Author's Note: I'm trying something new this chapter. Anything in regular style printing is the present day Jimmy, Cindy, and John. Bold printing is the future Jimmy and Cindy. This would be eighteen year-old Jimmy and Cindy. And this is the future Jimmy and Cindy. Present. Future. Got it? Ok, now on to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron or any related characters.

Jimmy and Cindy crawled around in the dark. John continued to fire at anything that he thought might be moving. The only light that they had was the occasional lightning.

"Damn it! You can't hide forever, Neutron!" he angrily yelled.

Jimmy and Cindy slowly crawled their way to the front door. They quietly opened it and ran out outside. But as like would have it, the lights came on at that moment. John saw them as they ran out the door.

"Gotcha!" he shouted as he let loose a torrent of bullets.

Jimmy and Cindy were out of the house when John yelled. Jimmy dove to the left, and Cindy jumped to the right. They heard the bullets whizzing by them. They crawled backwards until they were pressed against the house. Jimmy grabbed his bo and pressed a button on it. It extended straight up. Jimmy stood up tightened his grip on it.

"Get ready to die, you two," John muttered as he slowly stepped outside. He swiveled his gun to the right. Suddenly he felt something hard slam into his face. Jimmy had slammed his bo right into John's head. "Damn it!" John angrily yelled as he fell down into the mud. He dropped his gun, but not before pulling the trigger.

"Cindy!" Jimmy yelled as he heard the gun fire. He ran over to see Cindy's lifeless body, a bullet hole in her head.

"Duck!" Cindy shouted as she saw a laser beam flying at Jimmy's head. He bent backwards, narrowly missing it.

"God, my back! I'm too old for this," he mumbled as he rolled to his left, avoiding some bullets.

Cindy jumped up and spun around, kicking a large hole in one robot's control panel. The robot fell limp onto the ground. She bent down and picked up its laser gun. This could work.

Jimmy turned around and smashed his pipe into a robot's head. He ducked as another robot fired its laser. The laser hit and destroyed the robot that Jimmy had just hit. That could work.

Cindy fired the laser gun at an approaching robot. There were only two left now. The robot used a shield to absorb the blast while spitting out several grenades. Jimmy saw this and jumped into Cindy, pushing her out of the way. The robot Jimmy had been fighting followed him, walking into the path of the grenades.

Jimmy and Cindy smiled at each other. "Three down," Jimmy said.

"And one to go," Cindy finished. "Distract him, I'll blow it up."

Jimmy ran away and jumped behind a pile of rubble. Cindy ran in the opposite direction. The robot followed her. Just as it was about to terminate Cindy Jimmy threw some rocks at it. "Hey, robot! Over here!" The robot spun around towards Jimmy. Cindy took this opportunity to fire several laser beams into its chest. The robot fell onto the ground.

Jimmy smiled at his victory. Suddenly, he thought of something. That's it! He ran to his makeshift lab and tossed some wires to Cindy. "Cindy, plug these wires into the robot's control panel," he instructed her. He didn't hear a response. "Cindy?" he asked as he turned around. She was gone.

What the hell? He flicked on one of his monitors to the past. He saw Jimmy cradling Cindy's lifeless body while John lay on the ground, reaching for his gun. Oh god, this is bad.

John ran over to the robots and began attaching them to his lab's wires. He ran back to his lab and turned the monitor off. He flicked a switch and drained the robot's energy. He watched in amazement as the power readings flew off the scale.

Hang on kid, just a few more seconds, he thought as he desperately started turning some knobs.

As Jimmy was cradling Cindy he remembered the situation at hand. "John!" he shouted as he tackled his enemy back to the ground. The gun slid farther away from them.

Jimmy pushed his bo down on John's neck in an attempt to choke him, but John kicked him off. John stood up and ran towards the gun, but Jimmy reacted quickly and used the bo to sweep John's feet out from under him. "Damn you to hell and back, Neutron!" John spat as he crawled towards the gun.

Jimmy got back to his feet and ran towards the pistol. "Yes!" he shouted as he grabbed it and spun around. He aimed it at John, but he was gone. Shit. He tried to turn back around, but John had already it him over the head.

Jimmy fell to the ground in pain. He dropped the gun, which John promptly picked up. Jimmy tried to stand up again, but John was standing a few feet away and aiming the gun at him. "Game over, Neutron," John seethed as he pulled the trigger. A bright flash of light overcame Jimmy.
