Chapter Eighteen- The epilogue.
Jimmy and Cindy walked home together. Retroville had been repaired by the Yolkians. The townspeople ran outside and began to cheer; the mayor announced a parade in Jimmy's honour. But the young genius did not care, he only needed to do one little thing.
King Goobot ordered his soldiers back on the ships; he had completed his business here. Mixed thoughts had entered the aliens head, and he needed time to think. It had felt good helping Neutron, not trying to destroy anyone, trying to defeat Eustace had felt good. Goobot shook his head, he was going soft. Still though; he had felt complete assisting the people of the planet, which he so regularly attempted to destroy.
"King Goobot!" Came a voice from behind him, he turned and saw Jimmy staring at him.
"What do you want? My business is finished here Neutron." Jimmy seemed almost sad that he was spoken to in such a harsh manner.
"I just wanted to say thanks for saving me, and to tell you Eustace is dead." Goobot was not surprised at this news.
"I thought he must be, did it feel good killing him Neutron?" Jimmy shook his head.
"I didn't kill him, he threw himself off a cliff. He would rather die, then face the people he attacked. And watching him commit suicide definitely did not feel good." King Goobot nodded, but he did not seem convinced.
"This is not over Neutron, you know that don't you?" Jimmy stared.
"What do you mean it isn't over?" Goobot laughed.
"I mean this war between good and evil, Eustace was just a pawn, something else is controlling these events. A darkness greater than you have ever faced Jimmy Neutron. Beware the shadows, for they contain the ultimate evil." He went into his ship, leaving Jimmy to silently ponder his words.
"It isn't over…" Jimmy shook his head, for now all that mattered was Cindy Vortex. The ultimate evil may not have risen yet, but as long as they were together; they would always be victorious. He smiled and walked back to his new girlfriend, today was a day for celebration.
The townspeople threw the giant war machine down the cliff, let it stay with it's master they said. A tall man with shallow green eyes watched from a distance. He smiled a terrible smile, the master had ordered it. So it would be done. Jimmy Neutron was wrong, the ultimate evil had already risen. And it was hungry for destruction.
"Let the dark forces rise." The man said calmly and began to laugh…
