Disclaimer: I own nothing, well maybe a few characters.
Summary: Imagine a universe where all of the CN cartoons live in perfect harmony. Where heroes such as Superman, Batman, the Teen Titans, and the Powerpuff Girls all go about their daily routines side by side, or animated beings such as Scooby Doo can meet someone like Yugi Moto in the local grocery store. This is the 'Animated Universe' an alternate verse to that of earth. Whenever an animator creates a new character, city, or series on earth it becomes real in the Animated Universe and the entities living there get a new neighbor or whatever!
Different cities such as Gotham and Metropolis can be found here. Ed Edd N Eddy's local neighborhood can be found in the suburban outskirts, the top school for the area is of course Beverly High. Of course not everything not always peaceful here, animated bad guys followed their hero counterparts here and the Justice League and many other leagues of heroes are constantly on patrol. Sound interesting?
So cartoon characters are living in their own little verse and no one on earth knows about it. Well at least until a certain boy genius named Dexter began experimenting with reality a rift between our universe and their universe is created and people are sucked into this strange and wonderful world! Now that you've got a good idea of the story read on!
Ch.1 Experimentation
"At last my greatest invention is completed!" Dexter shouted triumphantly.
Deep within his secret lab of marvelous machines, strange chemicals, and other wonders Dexter had just reached what he considered the pinnacle of his scientific career. Ever since his humiliating defeat to Mandark a few months ago at the local science fair Dexter had been working feverishly on an new invention that would put Mandark to shame. Often he would stay in his lab and go for long periods of time without eating or drinking or socializing with his family who was growing quite concerned for his well- being.
"But it was all worth it." Dexter reflected rubbing his newest creation, for what stood in front of him was the invention that would bring Mandark to his knees.
At first glance it seemed like a satellite dish, but in reality Dexter had just constructed a machine of awesome power. Dexter ran a finger through his short red hair and sighed, at long last his machine was ready and all he had to do now was test it out. Dexter felt a smirk growing on his face, the three foot tall genius had really done it now, in a good way.
"The power to enter other universes and meet other beings is now possible with this!" Dexter reflected, "Mandark is in for a nasty surprise next science fair!"
Dexter began tinkering with a control counsel not too far away from his creation, turning some knobs here, clipping some switches there and of course pressing lots and lots of buttons and keys! Dexter was so occupied with his work he didn't even notice the secret book case entrance to his lab open up or a slender figure slip inside…
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Dexter exclaimed, his time had come!
Dexter moved his finger towards the final key, "Just one more push and it will begin!"
"Hi Dexter!" Came a high pitched squeal behind him.
The scream was so loud Dexter let out a cry of pain and fell backwards, he found himself staring right into a pair of deep blue eyes. He was shocked at first but then he saw the blonde pigtails, pink dress, and dancing shoes of his worst annoyance and unfortunately for him blood relative.
"Dee Dee." Dexter muttered sitting up.
Dee Dee was taking small sips of a lemonade can she had brought with her to the lab, she quietly examined the new machine her brother had just invented.
"Ohhh this is a new one Dexter." She pointed out setting the can down on the counsel.
Dexter huffed and adjusted his glasses, "Thank you well since you are the first to see it, I might as well tell you what it is."
Dexter held his hands up in triumph, "It is my Universe Seeker 9000!" He declared proudly.
"Whatever happened to Universe Seeker 8000?" Dee Dee joked.
Dexter pouted and crossed his arms, "Oh don't be like that Dexter," Dee Dee continued on, "So tell me what does this do hickey do anyway?"
"Hmp if you must know it gives me the power to visit other universes and meet new people." Dexter stated.
Dee Dee's eyes widened with anticipation, "Wow! Does that mean I can meet different boys?" She asked.
"Yes." Dexter responded.
"And I can visit new dance academies?" Dee Dee added moving closer to the counsel.
"Yes." Dexter said again.
Dee Dee couldn't contain herself any longer, "COOL!" She shouted and slammed her fists down on the counsel, "TURN IT ON! TURN IT ON!"
Dexter realized too late that she had set her can of liquid down on the counsel. The can began to tip slightly and Dexter made a mad dive for it when it started to fall over.
"NOOOOO!" He cried out as the pink fluid spilt all over the counsel.
In a flash the counsel began smoking and electricity began erupting from the surface. Dee Dee stepped back frightened as a bright light exploded from the new invention.
"Dexter?" She asked, "What's going on?"
Dexter stepped back with her, "Thanks to you the counsel has malfunctioned! And the Universe Seeker 9000 is short circuiting!"
AN enormous blast crashed through the roof of the lab and flew out into the blue sky. Dexter could see the beam taking shape, surges of magnificent energy exploded across the sky, outlining it. The Universe Seeker 9000 whined and a series of small explosions ripped through the metal interior. Dexter looked up at the sky in shock.
"No it's just as I feared another universe is being located!" He shouted.
"Which means?" Dee Dee asked blankly.
"Which means," Dexter repeated annoyed and frightened at the same time, "That people from another universe can be sucked in here at random!"
To Dexter's surprise the energy beam exploded into a wave and scattered across the sky, the particles of energy soon disappeared without a trace. And Dexter stood behind Dee Dee trying to figure out what had just happened.
"I don't get it a portal should have opened," Dexter thought, "perhaps the invention wasn't as complete as I thought it was."
"Maybe your little seeker thing wasn't finished Dexter." Dee Dee said nervously.
But Dexter's worst fears were brought to life when he noticed small particles of electrical energy still lingering in the air, the sparks lit up the sky at first and surged it full of energy. Before disappearing into the sky like the previous ones before it.
Dexter broke out into a cold sweet, his invention had worked. But not the way he had planned it too.
"What are the consequences of what has just happened?" Dexter asked himself, "Beings from another cosmos could be sucked in here!"
Dexter examined the ruined machine in front of him, "And they would have no way to get back! They would be stuck here!"
"Kids we're home!" A voice rang out.
"Dinner!" Another voice cried.
"Yeah dinner!" Dee Dee cried out completely forgetting about what had just happened.
Dexter decided it was best to join them and reluctantly moved towards the entrance after his sister. Before stepping out Dexter examined the sky one last time, when a portal didn't appear Dexter let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps it didn't work after all, perhaps what he had just suspected wasn't going to happen after all. Dexter brushed aside his fears and headed downstairs.
Little did he know was a that a youth's life a universe away was about to undergo a ground breaking change.
