(AN. Well here is the last chapter that you have requested. Enjoy!)
Chapter 17- Death of a child.
Jimmy waited for it, Eustace had him paralysed, the evil billionaire was right. He had lost; he had failed them all. He would never see her again. He would never see Cindy again. He had told her his feelings too late. He had figured out his feelings for her too late. Eustace had pulled out a laser gun; there was no way Jimmy could survive. It was over. Eustace's finger began to move, three inches to go, two inches to go, one inch to go and then Jimmy would be dead. Eustace smiled insanely, Jimmy saw a laser come towards him. Then darkness.
Jimmy began to stir, he was alive. But how? Then he saw something, a sight that was very unpleasant to him. Jimmy saw King Goobot, leader of the Yolkian race and Jimmy's sworn enemy. The evil king had kidnapped every adult in town. (A.N- Except for Jimmy's teacher Miss Fowl, who had been shrunk to microscopic size. Not that Jimmy would have anything to do with that. Of course not. Anyway, back to the story.) He had led an attack against Earth, and had broken into Jimmy's lab. After that he had formed The League Of Villains and again attacked Earth and attempted to destroy Jimmy. Therefore, he was not the welcome of guests.
"What do you want Goobot?" Jimmy questioned him, after realising he was no longer paralysed.
"You are ungrateful Jimmy, I save your life and then I am treated like garbage." Jimmy stared at him.
"What do you mean save my life? And you aren't garbage Goobot, you're worse you are a rotten egg." Replied Jimmy, his voice dripping with sarcasm. The king snarled.
"Annoying as ever I see, did your Mother never teach you manners Neutron? I blasted the gun out of Strychs hands with my own laser rifle; I then unparalysed you while that snake escaped." Jimmy could not believe what he was hearing; King Goobot had saved him?
"Why?" Questioned the genius quickly.
"Because I am going to help you defeat Eustace, he has not just attacked and insulted you." Jimmy nodded and stood up, his muscles ached, but that did not matter. He could handle the pain; it was time to stop this chaos before it escalated to even greater levels. This time he had to stop Strych, or everyone would die. There was only thing that worried him, where was Cindy? She was no-where to be found. In fact, where were Sheen, Carl and Libby as well? He thought he might have encountered one of them. He walked out of the ruin where he had been sheltering. Jimmy looked upwards and saw a dark unforgiving sky, a sign that death was near.
"The Endgame has begun." Jimmy muttered.
Meanwhile Cindy was also watching the sky and she also knew that dark things were coming. She stood up and looked out towards the park. Jimmy had been gone far too long, Cindy decided to go find him. She stepped out onto the street and began to run. If Jimmy was hurt, then she did not know how she could go on.
Meanwhile Jimmy and the Yolkians had begun their attack against Eustace. However the evil billionaire had realised they would attack and had called all of his employees to battle. The yolkians charged and Strych's forces did the same. Jimmy and King Goobot went after Eustace not wanting to waste time on their enemy's cronies. Eustace sent his robot into battle, after all why should he fight both of his rivals at the same time? Goobot dived out of the way of the machines laser blasts. The blasts hit some trees and fell down, separating Jimmy and the king.
"Neutron!" Cried out Goobot from the other side." I can handle the machine just get Strych." Jimmy turned and pursued his foe; until they came to a deserted company about a mile away from the battle. Eustace turned and saw Jimmy still following him; he scowled this time Neutron would die. Drawing a gun from his pocket, he fired. The bullets ripped through the air, most of them missing Jimmy. But one struck his arm; the genius gave out a cry of pain and fell down blood dripping from his left arm. The wound was not that deep, but it was still painful and Jimmy lay on the floor breathing heavily. Eustace laughed, he was out of bullets but now he could escape.
"Well I guess this is where we part Neutron, don't worry I will be back although I could still hurt you now." The cruel boy smirked. "Yes I think I will, I think I will kill Cindy Vortex that should be painful for you." He cackled and opened a warehouse door, inside where small jets. Futuristic jets designed for children, Strych stepped into one and waved goodbye mockingly. Then he took off leaving Jimmy lying there, but his words had made Jimmy stronger. Slowly but surely, he got up.
"You destroy my town, you kidnap me, and then you threaten the girl I love. That's to far Strych to far." Jimmy walked over to another jet and began to fly after Eustace.
Cindy saw Jimmy take off and began to run after the rocket, she had to help Jimmy. So she ran as fast as she could, she just hoped she could make it in time.
Eustace flew over the town and saw his robot being wiped out by the Yolkians. That was not good, then he saw something even worse; Neutron right behind him. Jimmy had also seen the destruction of Eustace's robot and knew that the Yolkians had won. All that needed to be taken of now was Strych himself. Jimmy activated the weapons and shot Eustaces wing, his plane plummeted down to Earth. Jimmy landed his jet and cornered Eustace; they were on a cliff alone. Strych had nowhere to run, but he could still talk Jimmy out what he was about to do.
"Now Neutron, you wouldn't kill me we are similar you and me." Jimmy grew angry.
"We are not the same Strych, name one way we are the same."
"We both believe in science and money they are the most important things to us both." Jimmy shook his head.
"No, I don't believe that there are some things neither money or science has gained me." Denied Jimmy quickly. Eustace looked surprised, but still challenged the statement.
"Oh yeah what have you gained without using money or science?" Jimmy looked at him and paused.
Cindy ran and ran; she had seen the planes go down and knew she was not far away. She began to climb, she would make it to help Jimmy, she had to.
Jimmy stayed silent and Eustace laughed.
"You're stalling Neutron, just admit it you are wrong!" Jimmy remained quiet, thinking. Then he saw her, Cindy she was safe. Relief washed through Jimmy's body, if Cindy as safe then he was happy.
"Jimmy!" Shouted Cindy, happy to see him again. She ran up tp him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank heavens your alright, I was so worried. She was almost crying. Jimmy looked at his foe and answered his question.
"This is what I gained without science or money, Cindy Vortex's love, to gain this I had to be myself. I didn't need experiments or millions of dollars, its to bad you don't understand that Strych." Eustace snorted.
"I don't care Neutron because I will defeat you one day!" A look of shock came over Jimmy's face.
"Its over Eustace, you're forces are demolished, your means of escape destroyed and your outnumbered. How can you possibly escape? Its over you are going to jail, or maybe King Goobot can find a place for you on his planet, I am sure the league of villains all want to see you." Eustace began to back away slowly, he was beaten.
"Then I have nothing left, I have no more reason to exist." He turned towards the cliff edge and ran, Jimmy realised what was happening and grabbed Eustace's hand as he fell.
"Death is to good for you Strych." Eustace struggled and tried to break free.
"Let me go Neutron! I have no reason to live, death is better than the punishment awaiting me back in Retroville." Jimmy began to pull him up, but Eustace bit into his hand. Jimmy gave a cry of pain and let go. Eustace Strych, insane billionaire, enemy of Jimmy Neutron fell screaming to his death. Jimmy gave a sigh of relief, although he had witnessed a death, he finally knew that it was over. He put his arm around Cindy and together they walked back to town. The sun began to set. Although their childhood's were now effectively over. It was reassuring to know that they would always have each other.
