Chapter 6: Operation: Save Jimmy Is A Go
Note: So sorry for the long wat, but hey the 6th chapter is here and I hope it was worth the wait!
[6:30 P.M., Outside the Vortex house]
Brody, Nick, Carl, Sheen, Goddard and Nesmith were right outside the Vortex house ready to sneak in, but they were trying to figure out how. Brody was consistently thinking of ways to get in that's not the front door.
"Well boys, looks like were climbing onto the roof."
"You sure?" said Carl.
"Positive! After all, there has to be a way to sneak in there without getting noticed."
In the following, the boys and animals were on the roof. They climbed up via chain reaction of each other with some support with the house rails.
"Alright men, look around for the secret hatch." said Brody.
"Uh, dude, I doubt the Vortex's have and emergency hatch on their roof." said Nick.
"Really Nick. Cause I'd look over here." replied Brody.
Nick and the others turned around to see Brody standing right by an emergency exit hatch door.
"Wow, that was fast dude." said Nick.
"Yeah, WAY TO GO BRODY!" shouted Sheen.
"Shhhhh. Thanks Sheen, but just keep it down so that nobody will hear us, okay?"
"Oh right, sorry."
"Thanks man. Alright men, now to sneak in, follow the plan and save Jimmy." said Brody.
Brody turned the handle on the door, only to find out that it will not open.
"What the… locked!" said Brody in a frustrated and shocked tone.
"NOOOOOO!" shouted Carl. Nesmith, Sheen and Nick covered his mouth as quickly as possible to avoid being heard.
"Bark Bark." said Goddard as he used the laser on his eyes to force the door open, which succeeded. This impressed the other boys.
"Oh, way to go Goddard!" Brody said as he gave him a quick pat on the head. He then lifted the door up and looked down. Below was a bedroom. It was not Cindy's, it was her parents'.
"Alright guys, come on." said Brody as he began to led the squad down the ladder carefully. Thankfully, nobody appeared as they were coming down. Step 1 was complete. Step 2, was two get out of the room. Brody carefully opened the door and peeked out, still nobody in sight.
"Okay, all clear."
[In the living room]
Cindy and the girls were having a fun time watching their movie with popcorn, pizza and candy. Just upstairs, peeked out the boys.
"Okay, split up." said Brody.
Carl and Sheen ran down the hallway and into a closet. Brody, Nick, Goddard and Nesmith retreated upstairs to Cindy's room. They were about to open the door that is until Brody stopped them.
"Hold on boys."
"What is it dude." asked Nick.
"We can't just go in there. Think guys. Cindy I know for a fact is super obsessed with Jimmy. She would have to anticipate his buddies, which are us, coming to save him, so she's gotta have a security system containing an alarm siren or something."
"That is a good point." said Nesmith.
"Yeah, so we need more information before we can make our move. Hold on." Brody said as he pulled out his walkie talkie.
"Carl, Sheen, do you read me. Come in guys."
"Yeah." Carl said.
"Okay come upstairs to Cindy's room."
"Are you sure dude." said Sheen.
"Yes man. Just come up, we don't have much time!"
"Okay, okay!"
Carl and Sheen opened the closet door and quickly retreated up the stairs to the boys' current base. Brody then began to speak.
"Alright boys. I'm gonna open this door, but we don't go in. Cindy's gotta have a security system or something."
"Uh-alright." said Sheen.
Brody slowly opened the door to Cindy's room and saw Jimmy lying on the bed in a huge cage saddened and depressed on how his life is going to be for the rest of time.
"Psst. Hey Jimmy!" whispered Brody.
"Huh. Brody, GUYS!" he shouted excitedly.
"Hey Jimmy." said Carl.
"What's up dude." said Nick.
"Guys don't come in here, or an alarm in the installed security system will go off and Cindy will come over here and chew you guys out."
"I KNEW IT!" shouted Brody. "Alright Jimmy, there's gotta be a way to deactivate the security system. Do you know how?"
"Yeah, the switch is located down in the basement. There's gotta be two of them cause there's two security systems."
"Huh?" said Brody.
"One with an alarm that detects if an intruder enters her room and one with a scanner that prevents me from leaving."
"What are talking about- OKAY NEVERMIND! NICK?!"
"Yeah dude?"
"Because your the best with stealth out of all of us, you're gonna sneak down the basement and turn off the two systems."
"Me?!"
"Yeah you! What's the problem?"
"I, I, Uh-alright."
"Good! Goddard, you keep an eye on the girl and signal us once the movie their watching is over."
"Bark Bark!"
"Alright, Carl and Sheen you two will go on the balcony and hide in the storage room. Nesmith and I put a sound effects blaster we found in Cindy's parents' room and installed it directly outside in the hall. The remote for it is right here. It's an insanely loud device. Once Goddard signals to me that the movie is over, I will signal you guys to push any button on here, there's a siren, fat lady screaming, loud firecrackers popping, you name it. When I signal you too, you push any of them to distract the girls."
"You got it Brody." said Sheen as he and Carl ran off.
"Good, and Nesmith, you stay here with me and wait for the signals."
"You got it Brody. I must admit that's a really great plan you came up with."
"Thanks Nesmith." Brody said as he turned to Jimmy and winked at him while putting a thumbs up. Jimmy returned the wink and thumbs up. Brody then closed the door to Cindy's room. Then, he and Nesmith hid in a nearby closet.
"The plan is in motion." said Brody.
"And here we go." said Nesmith.
[In the Vortex living room]
The girls were just finishing up the movie. Humphrey was watching it too. Once it was over, Cindy held out a box containing earings, mascara, dark eye shadow, red and pink nail polish, lipstick and perfume.
"So, in what way should we make Neutron all girly? Suggestions?"
The girls started chitchatting and talking out a makeover plan.
Meanwhile, Goddard who was out in the hallway, signalled through his walkie talkie.
Inside the closet, Brody got noise on his walkie talkie and heard Goddard barking.
"This is it, This is it! Good boy! Are they heading to the room now?"
"No not yet." came Goddard's computer voice.
After two more minutes, Goddard saw the girls finish discussing things and started to head to Cindy's room. He went back to his computer voice.
"Red alert! Red alert! The girls are going upstairs."
"Okay. Carl, Sheen, hit the button now!" Brody whispered.
Inside the storage room, Carl and Sheen were standing.
"Which one?" said Carl.
"ANY ONE, NOW HURRY!" shouted Brody in a silent rage.
"Uh-h." Carl started to get nervous. Until Sheen interrupted.
"CARL, JUST PUSH A BUTTON!" Sheen shouted as he took the remote from Carl and pushed a random button which triggered a very loud startled the whole house. Cindy dropped the makeover item box as she was startled by this.
In the closet, Brody continued to communicate briefly.
"Goddard, are they gone, boy?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Good. Nick come in dude."
"Yeah dude, I'm here, what is it?"
"Did you find the security system control panel."
"No-uh. OH WAIT! HERE IT IS!"
"Great, turn the system off!"
"Okay."
After a couple of seconds of looking at the machine, he found the on and off switch to both of the systems. He quickly flipped both of the switches.
"Okay, both security systems have been deactivated."
"Excellent dude! Okay Nesmith, let's break in."
Meanwhile the girls made it to the location of the sound effects blaster, though they didn't see it cause it was hidden inside the room besides Cindy's parents'. They scattered around the hallway all panicked trying to find who made that sound.
Back to the room. Brody and Nesmith quickly entered Cindy's room and began searching around for the key to Jimmy's cage.
"Jimmy, where's the key."
"I don't know. I think Cindy has it, but you can get the lock picker on my watch to get this door open."
"Cool, alright, where is it?"
"Inside that safe."
"WHAT! How are we gonna- HELLO!" Brody said as he looked over by the safe and saw one of Jimmy's mini-lasers just sitting there out in the open. He quickly picked it up and said sarcastically, "Leaving one of these out in the open for the boys to claim. What an Idiot!" After that statement, he aimed and shot the laser at the safe handle. After just one second the handle turned and the door opened. Beaming with excitement, Brody snatches the watch, hypercube and also the pain transference helmet from the safe.
Meanwhile, back at the other side of the house, the girls officially decided to give up searching, courtesy of Cindy. On the way back, they heard the loud sound of a fat lady screaming. They all covered their ears and fell down. After about 10 seconds, they got back up in complete shock.
"OKAY, which one of you girls is causing all these loud, super irking noises?!" Cindy said angrily.
"None of us girl. I don't know what this is-" Before Libby could even finish, a super loud popping firecrackers sound effect made the girls get stunned again.
"ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CONFESS RIGHT NOW!" Cindy shouted angrily as Brittany walked over to the storage room a little bit further ahead and made a huge discovery.
"Hey Cindy, over here."
"What is it Brittany? Can't you see I'm in the middle of accusing girls?"
"But I see Carl and Sheen in this room."
Hearing this, Cindy became more infuriated by the second and her face grew more red.
"WHATTTTTTTT! OH THEY ARE SO DEAD! GET THEM!" Cindy said as she the girls busted into the room, scaring Carl and Sheen. Both boys stood there, frozen in fear. To make matters worse, Cindy's parents and also Humphrey showed up and glared angrily at the boys.
"Hh-hi Cindy, girls. We just came-" Carl was cut off before he could finish his sentence.
"SHUT UP BIG BELLY! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR! LIBBY, COURTNEY, HUMPHREY, GET THEM OUT OF HERE! ROSE, TINA, MOM, GO TO THE BASEMENT TO CHECK IF THERE'S ANYONE THERE! AMBER, NISSA, DAD, FOLLOW ME BACK TO MY ROOM!"
"GOT IT!" everyone said determinedly.
At the front door, Libby, and Courtney led Carl and Sheen to the front door, with Humphrey behind them, so the boys don't make any sudden moves.
"Sheen, I'm very disappointed in you." said Libby.
"Whhy, you and that blonde demon are torturing my best friend, why are you mad that I would do something about it?" said Sheen.
"Yeah, I thought you were Jimmy's friend to?" said Carl.
"Because with Cindy completely in control of Jimmy, there will be less bickering going on between them two. They need to stop with their arguing now, it's been far too long. Now, sorry, boys, but you have to get out NOW!" Libby said as she and Courtney through the boys out the door and landing on top of each other.
Next scene, Cindy, Mr. Vortex, Amber and Nissa were making their way to Cindy's room. Cindy then caught her eye and became sad as she saw her makeover items in a box were destroyed. They were burnt to ashes by Goddard, who was hiding behind a curtain.
"Hey, it's alright Cindy. I'll buy you a new box tomorrow and plus, you've got a few more in the garage. Come on, let's go get one." said Mr. Vortex.
"Okay, thanks Dad. Amber, Nissa, head to my room and confront whoever's there and whatever you do, don't let Jimmy get away."
"Got it!" both girls said.
Meanwhile, in the basement, Nick was standing still looking around, hoping that Jimmy was being freed by Brody and Nesmith. He continued to glance around, until he saw, Sasha, Tina and Rose glaring at him angrily. Seconds later, Libby and Courtney show up. At first, he was scared, but then he went back to a determined look on his face.
"You ladies don't scare me. When you look at me and my strength, you don't want to fight me, do you?" he asked a little worriedly.
"Oh no we're not going to to fight you, but Humphrey is." Tina said as Humphrey comes in and looks at Nick normally. Nick at first laughs hard as he saw the small bulldog.
"What? What's a tiny little dog gonna do, I can get past one of these-" Nick was cut off by Humphrey's sudden angry barking. Nick immediately became scared, mainly when he saw his sharp teeth. He started to run with Humphrey chasing him. He manages to get out of the basement and out of the house before Humphrey could tear him up. He breathed heavily in relief as he was now free, but had a mad look on his face when he saw Carl and Sheen lying on the ground.
[Meanwhile, in Cindy's room]
Jimmy was guiding Brody on how to find the lock picker on his watch, while Nesmith was keeping a lookout for any of the girls. Just then, he saw Amber and Nissa down the hall approaching the room.
"Jimmy, Brody, two girls are coming."
"Oh, snap. Okay, I got a plan. Quick, Jimmy hide under the bed."
"What?"
"JUST DO IT! TRUST ME OKAY!" Brody whispered heavily.
"ALLRIGHT!" replied Jimmy.
Jimmy quickly hid himself under the bed out of sight. RIght on cue, Amber and Nissa entered the room quickly.
"Alright Brody and Nesmith, time to surrender! Where's Jimmy?" said Amber.
"Yeah, you may be strong Brody, but you are no match for Cindy's martial arts skills. So, if I were you, I'd confess to where Jimmy is now."
Brody then went into his acting-self.
"I guess you girls are right. I am no match for Cindy. Alright, very well, I surrender. We knew you'd be coming after hearing all of the chaos downstairs, so right after we freed Jimmy, we told him to hide. He is hiding in the back of that closet right over there, you may fetch him."
"Back of the closet?" said Amber.
"Good!" said Nissa.
"Alright, come on Nissa, let's go get him."
Brody secretly followed them to the corner of the room as they opened the door.
"He's in here?" said Amber.
"Yeah, maybe in a coat, where is he?" said Nissa.
Just as Nissa finished her sentenced, Brody shut the door and locked it with the sliding lock on the outside.
"HEY!" said Nissa.
"What the? The door's locked!" said Amber.
"HEY COME ON, LET US OUT!" shouted Nissa.
"I'm sorry girls, but I can't have you interfere with our rescue mission. Jimmy, you can come out now." Hearing this, Jimmy climbs out from under the bed.
"Good thinking Brody"
"Thanks Jimmy, now let's see here, can you help me find this, I'm struggling to find the lock picker."
"Yeah, sure." Jimmy said as the two boys, then joined by Nesmith worked on the wristwatch. Then, Amber and Nissa started talking to them from inside the closet.
"You open this door, or we're gonna call Cindy!" said Amber.
"Yeah, we have a cell phone in here!" said Nissa.
Brody walks up to the closet door.
"You have no cell phone." said Brody.
"Do too." said Amber.
"Prove it."
"How?"
"Play me a ring tone."
A couple of seconds later, Brody hears a noise perfect for a ringtone.
"See, told you we've got a cell phone." said Nissa.
"Does it have bluetooth?" asked Brody.
"What?"
"You're cell phone, does it have bluetooth?"
"Yeah, dude, it has bluetooth." said Amber.
"I don't believe you, show me?"
"Well fine, then open the door."
Brody carefully opens the door and Amber reveals her cell phone right in his face.
"See, Bluetooth! Ha-ha-Wow!"
Just as Amber finished her sentence, Brody snatches the cell phone with his left hand and quickly puts his right hand on Amber's face, shoves her back in the closet, closes the door and locks it.
"Way to go Brody!" said Jimmy.
"HEY! WHAT! shouted Nissa.
"Oh man!" said Amber.
"Yeah, nice going bluetooth!" said Nissa.
"Don't start with me!" replied Amber.
[Meanwhile, back downstairs]
The whole gang, minus Amber and Nissa, had gotten rid of three boys and are now all back together. Mr. Vortex came back in and gave Cindy another makeover kit box.
"Thanks Dad. Alright everyone, we're almost done, now let's go upstairs and see what's going on."
Everyone then followed Cindy upstairs. Brody and Nesmith are now in big trouble. They gotta free Jimmy right now and Fast! Can they do it, let's find out.
[Back in Cindy's room]
Amber and Nissa were begging to be let out of the closet.
"Let us out of here right now if you know what's good for us!" said Amber.
"LET US OUT!" shouted Nissa.
"I'd be happy to let you out girls, after we free Jimmy from this disgusting prison."
"Okay, I found it!" said Jimmy.
"Awesome, here, give me it. I'll unlock the door." said Brody as he began to unlock the cage. However, before he could finish, the girls and Cindy's parents busted into the room.
"Alright! Step away from the cage!" shouted Cindy.
"Never!" replied Brody.
Humphrey came into the scene growling, ready to attack Brody, while Nesmith hid behind him.
"Hey chill out, small fry!" said Brody as he shot a laser at Humphrey, which gave him a small burn.
"HUMPHREY!" Cindy shouted as she ran over to her dog and gave him a hug. She began to tear up a bit until she became furious.
"ALRIGHT THAT DOES IT! EVERYONE ATTACK THIS DISGUSTING, WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE!" Cindy shouted in pure rage.
Everyone charged at Brody and Nesmith, except for Brittany, who had romantic interest in Brody, despite him being completely volatile towards her friends sometimes. Nesmith was being held and dragged out of the room by Cindy's parents. All he said on his way out was "Good luck Brody, you're gonna need it." Brody was fighting hard. He was actually getting physical with girls. Brittany was not present, Cindy was giving Humphrey some recovery comfort, and Amber and Nissa were still locked in the closet. Libby, Courtney and Tina were the ones fighting Brody. He shoved Libby and Courtney down. He took Courtney's glasses and snapped them in half. He whacked Tina with a broom. Humphrey was now beginning to feel better, as he released himself from Cindy's grip and surged at Brody. However, Goddard come in and picks him up with his hands that come out of his back. Cindy's parents return and are ready to fight Brody. Cindy then takes a zap ray and shoots Goddard, temporarily disabling him. Cindy quickly throws him out the window. This leaves Brody as the last hope to save Jimmy. Jimmy continued to cheer his best friend on. However, he was heavily outmatched. was about to confront him, but Brody fires the laser from Jimmy's wristwatch at her, but misses. As soon as she gets up to mock him, he throws a heavy ball at her, knocking her down. Mr. Vortex, completely in rage rips into his karate uniform, as does Cindy. Brody surges at Cindy, who throws a punch, but misses. Brody was about to trip her, but Mr. Vortex grabs him from behind, whacks him with a small brown box and drags him to the window.
"Allright Cindy, do the honor."
"You got it dad! SPIN KICK!" Cindy said as she spin-kicked at Brody and knocked him out of the window, with him screaming. He survived the fall thanks to Goddard's emergency crash pad.
"Oh, blasted balls, we we're so close!" said Brody. Nick then came over.
"Hey, it's okay dude. We'll get em next time." said Nick.
Back in Cindy's room, Everybody cleaned up the mess that was made. Jimmy had a depressed look on his face. His friends were so close to saving him. He said to himself, "They made it so far and still, came up short." He sat there and got disgusted when Cindy spoke to him.
"Okay Neutron. It's time for you're make over."
"Oh Einstein please no."
"Oh yes, come on girls." Cindy said as they all cheered.
On their way out, Sasha and Mr. Vortex let Amber and Nissa of the closet and they joined the party once more.
5 minutes later, Jimmy was tied to a chair with his hands and feet on the chair's arms and legs. Cindy gave him pink lipstick and decorated his face and Nissa gave him red-colored nail poish. Jimmy never had felt more miserable in his life. He was close to escaping, however, that mission failed and now he's back to being imprisoned and tortured by Cindy. This makeover honestly was his lowest of the lows in his opinion. He honestly felt like he was being burned at the stake. There was unfortunately nothing he could do about it.
[Meanwhile outside]
The four boys, Goddard and Nesmith were outside sad over the outcome of the rescue mission. However, Brody then began to smile, which raised some question.
"Brody, why are you smiling?" asked Sheen.
"Yeah, you know we lost?" said Carl.
"Yeah I know, but this is only the beginning. We didn't get Jimmy back,but I did claim something that will be very useful to us in saving Jimmy."
"Huh?" everyone said.
Brody then pulled out from his pants and revealed the pain transference helmet.
"Wow! You got the pain transference helmet?" asked Nesmith.
"Yeah!"
"Wow, that is AWESOME!" said Sheen.
