No own Jimmy!
The White Crystal
Jimmy still stared at him and repeated his question.
" This is about me?"
" I've told you this once... You humiliated me... and now I want to destroy you.. Make you PAY!" he seethed. "So Mr. Neutron, it appears your not as smart as you look, don't you understand? It's all about you.. And you thought it was about POULTRA! HAH!" he yelled in triumph. " I've made you look like a complete idiot and now you get to die a complete idiot, You thought you had us figured out..." Goobot laughed cruelly. " If it wasn't for April... I never would've guessed that taking one teenage girl could have such an immense effect on your brain Jimmy.." Jimmy just looked up at him. April? How was April involved?
" April?" he asked surprised. He knew that he hadn't seen her since the fight between him and Meldar, but he hadn't given must thought to it. Just then she spoke emerging from the darkness.
" Yes me. I told them how to find you.. I told you I knew you would come Jimmy Neutron.. I have been watching you.." she walked up to him closer. Soon she was standing an inch away from his face. " I found out your little weakness.." she whispered.. Now she put her green lips right next to his ear and breathed.. " Love..." she pulled away slightly. Of course. How had he been so stupid? He had actually fallen for this .. Sick, twisted, scheme! But why on earth was April helping them? She was supposed to be his friend!
" Why are you .. Why did you help them? Meldar of all people?"
" They offered me... the joy of seeing your little pale earth girl killed right in front of my eyes! How could I resist? After all, you destroyed our friendship when you sent me that email with hardly anything on it.. I heard Cindys' voice in the backround and I knew it was because of her..." she yelled almost spitting the words. " Now you and her both pay.. After all I am a Gorlokian.. It's my duty to be heartless.. And after your dead.. I WILL BE!" She raged as glow of red hinted her green eyes.. " But first.." she grabbed his face and crashed her lips fiercely upon his, she let go after a moment and she finally backed off leaving very shocked Jimmy standing in the center of the room. Women. One thing he would NEVER understand.
" So you see Jimmy.. It's all about you.." Meldar paused.. " Now is there anything you would like to say to your friends before we get rid of you for good?" Jimmy looked at his friends. Carl looked like he was about ready to throw up.
" And don't even think of pulling anything.. Your outnumbered Jimmy.." Meldar commanded. "Go say goodbye.." Carl looked even worse now.. Sheen looked like Ultra Lord had died and Libby just stared at him with blank eyes. He looked at the rest of the faces, they were all emotionless and blank. He then looked to the beautiful blonde to the right of Carl, and let her intense green eyes meet his for a moment, and then he looked back at Carl.
" Well I guess this is .. It.." he said painfully to the people in front of him. Cindy still looked at him. " Bye.." he said. He heard Goddard bark who was chained to one of the walls. It appeared that he had been captured by Goobot.
" I love ya boy.." " Be Good..." he said as he smiled and turned towards Carl and he reached out to hug him.
" Die fighting.." he whispered in his ear.
Then he then walked to Sheen who stood in utter astonishment.
" Bye Sheen..." he said as he grabbed him and hugged him. He then got to Libby who was starting to tear up.
" Jimmy.. You have to fight.. You can't just let them kill you.." Libby said as she started to cry.
" Or us.." said Nick from the back.
"YEAH!" the group of teens in front of him cried.
" Well you tell me how to get us out of this then..."
"Hurry up!" Meldar shouted.
He looked back to Cindy, her eyes completly locked on him. He hugged Libby.. as she pulled away she sniffled and cuddled up to Sheen... Now he only faced Cindy.
" Cindy, I just don't know what to do..."
" Buck up mister.." she spoke the words that so many years ago calmed him in a cell on Yolkus. He smiled at her and turned to Goobot who had a evil triumphed smile on his face." So... I guess this is it.. Huh?" she said quietly. She looked down at the floor.
" Yea. This is it, I know you will die strong Vortex," he said assuredly and started leaning forwards. But instead of hugging her like he had everyone else, he softly and quickly touched his lips to her forehead. She snapped her head up in astonishment and everyone else seemed to snap out of there trances as well. He just smiled sheepishly as Cindy cocked her head slightly to one side in utter confusion. " Bye Cindy.." he said quietly and then turned towards Meldar and Goobot.
" I'm ready.." he stated. Two words that he never thought would escape his lips... But he had no other choice. Meldar and Goobot grinned and April stared in utter jealousy. She had obviously seen the kiss, good he thought as he faced the hole which he was about to be pushed into. Sure enough small little Red Bugs crawled around the sides.He felt a hand on his shoulder, but then.
" CHARGE!" he heard a loud cry. He turned around quickly, stunned to find that somehow Cindy had broken through the five guards and they were a pile of green goo upon the floor.He looked into her eyes, fire uncontrollably raged in them. She smiled as she nodded towards him. Meldar glared at Jimmy. Jimmy knew Meldar knew this would have to wait. After all, they needed to fend off the humans so they could see Jimmy die! That was the master plan.
Jimmy reached for the laser on his watch and with perfect timing slipped the roping off his hands. Cindy, was nothing less than brilliant. . Finally, he tore himself he looked at the chain on Meldars neck.
" Oh no you don't!" he scolded and disappeared. This was going to be way harder then he thought.
He glanced towards her one last time, she looked so stunningly beautiful as she knocked some more Yolkians defensless to the ground. She looked at him and smiled, she knew what he had to, and what he was going to do. He ran to the big red button and punched it and watches as the hole in the floor disappeared. He ran towards the doors but was met by five or six Yolkians.
" Where do you think your going?" They asked. Jimmy smiled.
" To find that crystal!" he announced as he attacked them.. Soon all five of them were on the floor. He just smiled.
" I told you.. To find that crystal!" he stepped over the green gloop on the floor. He ran through the doors. He hadn't expected for Cindy to break the barrier.. How did she do that? He continued to run down the corridors.. Sweat pouring from his forehead.
" Come and fight me Neutron!" Two voices called. Meldar. Goobot.
He followed them. Sure enough he found a room at the end of the hall.. There they were.. These two completely opposite villains.. Who had created one of the most powerful power sources that Jimmy had ever faced. Even more deadly then the League of Villains.. And that was pretty deadly.. King Goobot smiled.
" We've decided to let you fight us Neutron.."
" Come get us!" Meldar taunted Jimmy ran towards them... Meldar waved his arm and made Jimmy fly backwards. He hit his hard square on the ground... the room spun for a second.
" You know the power that I hold in my hand, yet you fight.. Giving your life for the girl? The girl who feels nothing for you!" King Goobot pointed his finger at Jimmy. Jimmy just shook his head.
" You don't know that.. Besides..." and Meldar interrupted.
" You love her! We know, we know!" he laughed coldly. " I never would've guessed... the way to get you.. Was love.. How could I have been so blind? Your not a genius when it comes to her are you?" He laughed again as Jimmy stood up.
" Shut up." he angrily stated.
" No! This is fun!" Goobot teased. Jimmy just stared blankly ahead.
" Watching as your insides squirm.. You know she feels nothing for you.."
" Actually I don't.."
" Then why don't you ask her?"
" Simple. I need to hold on to hope that she does.." Jimmy pointed out the obvious fact as he readied himself to attack them again. He needed to destroy that crystal...
" I can see it in your eyes Jimmy.. Your scared that we're right.. And you will never win the girl.." King Goobot said.
" No!"
" You know we're right jellybag.. Just give it up.. Stop holding on to invisible possibilities.."
" SHUT UP!" Jimmy cried as he ran towards them... Meldar swung his arm harder this time, and Jimmy hit the wall.. Colors illuminated his vision as a painful groan escaped his lips.. the smell of blood now tortured his nose. Meldar raised his arm... And Jimmy began to float.. And Meldar waved his hand sideways and suspended him in the air. Just then he reached out and closed his eyes.. what was he doing? Jimmy blinked back a tear of pain.. Cindy then appeared confused and shocked. She looked up at the suspended Jimmy.. Who was bleeding he was sure.. No idea where from.. But he could smell it. Her eyes got a tad bit misty as she faced Meldar. Goobot was long gone now.
" Cindy!" he wanted to cry as loud as he could, but only a mere moan excited his lips.
Just then Meldar lifted his arm and Cindy squealed in protest as she lifted off the ground. She nervously looked at Jimmy. He blinked. There was nothing he could do... as much as he wanted to. There was nothing he could do! A tear fell from her beautiful green eyes.
" Now what are you going to do? How are you going to save her this time?" Meldar grinned. Jimmy tried his hardest to break through the invisible hold that Meldar had him in. Cindy just stared at him another tear.
" Help me Jimmy!" she cried as Meldar swung his arm and she flung across the room and hit the wall with a sickening thud. Meldar picked her up again as Jimmy saw small drop of blood emerge from her nose. His stomach flipped as Meldar flung his arm again, this time harder.. And she hit the wall.. He did this again and again.. Each time.. She lost a little bit more consciousness. Finally on the last blow, a painful groan escaped her blood covered lips and then she fell into unconscious. Meldar got a disgusting look of triumph in his eyes. Jimmy stared at the blondes lifeless body. Blood trickled softly down her forehead.. Down her cheek.. He blinked back a tear, she could be dead. And he had just watched! Anger surged through his body he needed to get that crystal, just then he got an idea.
" Alright alright! I surrender!" he cried.
This is for you Cindy. He thought as Meldar started bringing him down to the ground.
" Ah what the heck.." Meldar said smiling again as he waved his arms and Jimmy flew back and hit the wall again.. Jimmy groaned in pain as he collapsed against the wall behind him. Meldar now was above him grinning menacingly. Jimmy felt an urge to throw himself up at him, but he had to wait till the opportune moment. Finally Jimmy threw himself up at Meldar grabbing for his necklace with the white crystal, Meldar moaned as if in pain, throwing him off.
" Why Mr. Neutron, you have gotten stronger.."
" I will get that necklace even if I have to die, I will destroy your power once and for all!" he cried as he threw himself at him again. He grabbed for the necklace but was once again thrown off by a bright light. This wasn't working! He had to think of a plan.. He didn't really know any fighting skills. Just then as if by magic, a scene in the Ultra Lord action movie came into his brain.. Ultra Lord did this weird introverted cartwheel kind of thing that knocked the wind out of the guy he was fighting, not only was the move unexpected, but it was efficient, and since Meldar had no legs, the aim would be just about his head area...Which Jimmy figured would knock him out at least for a moment! Jimmy was going to have to thank Sheen later. He started to cartwheel towards Meldar.
" Oh yes I'm so scared of a little cartwheel Neutron!" he laughed. Jimmy could barely contain a smile, he would not be laughing much longer! Sure enough his foot hit exactly where predicted, knocking Meldar to the ground. He smiled at the lifeless form once again.
" Ah so you see! I'm not as stupid as you think Meldar.." he broke the necklace from it's chain and held the white crystal in his hands, and just like April had said it began to lose it's bright shine bit by bit as he stared at the lifeless form of Cindy. It wouldn't be long before he could crush it. But did he want to trust what April said? He didn't have any other choice!
" Don't you dare!" Goobot cried as he finally came into the room. Jimmy wiped a bead of sweat mixed with blood from his forehead.
" Who says?" he asked bitterly.
" I do!" he commanded. Jimmy felt the crystal growing weaker still.
" Try me.." Jimmy shot back.
" April probably lied how to destroy the crystal as well you know.." Goobot shined brightly.
" I have to at least try for Cindy!" he cried angrily.
" Aww isn't that cute, Neutron will do anything to save his little girlfriend!" Goobot smiled.
Jimmy felt a spark inside of his hand, sure enough the white crystal was almost dull now..
" That's right!" hescreamed as he flung the crystal down upon the floor . There was a bright light of white that surrounded him and a large boom and then a million pieces of gems were flying everywhere, the white light just seemed to get brighter and Jimmy felt his strength disappearing right beneath him, and then everything went dark.
