Present Time: On the Streets of Danville:
"I am Arik Skovoren, age ten, five feet three tall, and my blood type is AB," Arik said. He had black spiky hair and wore a black and white striped shirt with blue shorts. He also had a scar on his eye from an attack earlier.
"Did you really have to say all that?" Buford yelled. "And you're sure you can help us?"
"Hey, I hate those robots just as much as you do probably. They took away my parents yesterday and I got thrown around the city," Arik said, as Django and even Buford started to feel sad.
Jumping at him, the two said, "It's alright, little guy! We'll help you!" as Arik tried to get the two off.
"Get off of me," he yelled, shoving Django and Buford off of him. "I don't need your pity. Also, what are you guys doing here by yourselves?" he asked.
"That's right," Django said, showing Arik pictures of the group. "Have you seen any of them yet?"
Looking at the pictures, Arik sighed and replied, "Unfortunately, I haven't. Are they your allies, or something?"
"No, they're our friends. We got seperated in an explosion," Buford answered.
"Wow, I never thought you considered anyone to be your friend," Django implied.
"Well, sometimes, you've got to let go of your pride to help those important to you," Buford said, stunning Django with his intelligent input.
"Wow, impressive, Buford."
"Nah, I just read it out of 'Cheesy Quotes to say on the Spot'," he said, taking out a book.
"You got a book for cheesy quotes?" Django asked.
"What do you think that cheesy quote in Paris was from?" he asked.
"Well, I wasn't in Paris with you guys," Django said.
"Oh, right. Sorry about that. I forgot," he apologized.
"Why are you apologizing?" Django asked, as Buford didn't really know either.
"Actually, I'm not really sure," Buford answered.
Interrupting their conversation, Arik said, "Well, since you said you got seperated in an explosion, I don't really think they survived," surprsing the two. But to both his and Django's surprise, Buford grabbed his collar with an angry look.
"Shut the hell up! I don't need to hear your shit! They're alive, and I don't need your opinion on that matter!" he yelled.
"Are you sure? Was it that explosion over there?" Arik asked, pointing to the Fireside Girl Lodge.
"Yeah, why?" Django asked.
"That was the biggest explosion in the history of mankind. I'm pretty sure that they didn't make it through it. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that they're dead, or if they're not, they're going to be," Arik added, angering Buford, who threw Arik on the ground.
"Come on, Django," turning around and starting to walk. "Let's go. I don't the help of someone who automatically claims that our friends are dead. Let's got find them on our own," starting to stomp away, Django running after him.
"And you'll let me have this?" Arik asked, showing them the weapon they gave him.
"Keep it. Use it to help yourself get your parents back. Anyways, see you around," he said, as the two walked away, leaving Arik to stand there.
In the Love Muffin Headquarters:
Doofenshmirtz and Perry were standing on a pile of robots on the second to last floor, as Doofenshmirtz yelled, "STUPID ROBOTS! HAND OVER VANESSA RIGHT NOW!"
"Come on, Perry the Platypus. Let's go," he said, as two of the robots got up and tried to oppose the two who were heading towards the last stair case. But as the robots tried to attack, both Perry and Doofenshmirtz turned around, getting ready to attack.
Meanwhile, on the top floor, Vanessa heard the scream, as she tried to say, "DAD!" but it sounded like, "Dradfhed!"
"What the heck are you saying, girl?" the robot asked. "Don't make me punish you again!" the robot exclaimed, getting up from his chair, when suddenly, the door slammed open, as two figures came inside.
"Let her go, or else your bolts and screws will be used to upgrade Norm!"
"DAD!" Vanessa exclaimed.
"Oh, so it's the lunatic from Danville, is it?" the robot asked, as the three squared off, ready to fight.
Unknown Area/Time Period:
"I was with a few guys when we fought in the robot and human war," the person said. "So you survived, I see?"
"So there was a war? But when was it? We were just at the Fireside Lodge when an explosion went off," Isabella said, which shocked the man.
"Explosion? Huh, I see that Baljeet's inquiry was correct. You did get sent to a different time period," the man said.
"So you saw Baljeet? Can you tell me where he is?" Phineas asked.
"I'm sorry little dude. The Baljeet I know isn't here anymore. He was killed in the war along with Irving. Django and Buford just got caught and I'm expecting execution for them soon. THat's why I'm trying to break them out," the man said, shocking all of them.
"What? But... but...," Phineas said, trying to get words into his mouth.
"If they died in the war, then what year is this?" Harrison asked.
"Oh, this year is-" the man tried to say, when he heard police alarms. "Dang it! They're on my tail. You guys get out of here. I need to escape. I don't want you guys caught by them," the man said.
"Wait, we'll help you. Besides, we need a way back to our time, and you know a bit about us, so you're the only one who can help us," Isabella pleaded.
"Are you all willing to risk your lives?"
"We were born ready," Ferb said as they all got their weapons out. "Wow, you have those too?" the man asked, but quickly ignored the fact and said, "Come with me if you want to get back to your time," as they all started to run.
Present Time: Across the Eastern Sea:
Jeremy and Baljeet were locked in battles with a gang of robots, while Irving was dealing with one of them. "Hey, Irving. Can you go get reinforcments? I think we'll need them," Jeremy asked.
"Sure, but cover me from this guy for a sec," Irving said, running towards the other area of the city while Jeremy charge at Irving's opponent.
"I guess that coward finally left," the robot said.
"Who, Irving? He's the opposite of a coward. You'll see," Jeremy said, pushing the robot back into the giant gang where Baljeet was.
"You okay, Jeet?" Jeremy asked.
"I told you not to call me that!" he complained.
"Sorry, Buford is starting to rub off me, which in some way, is somewhat creepy," Jeremy said, almost getting attack by a robot.
"Come on, man. You need to focus. You almost got nailed by that guys," Baljeet said after stabbing the robot in the heart, destroying it.
"THanks, man." as Jeremy dusted himself.
"No prob. You ready to fight?"
"Who said I wasn't?" Jeremy asked, the two jumping at the robots.
On the otherside of the city, the girls were having trouble, unable to fully destroy the army.
"Girls, can one of you go ask for reinforcments?" Candace asked.
"But don't we have enough people? They only have three people," Milly asked.
"Are you disagreeing with your leader? I said go get reinforcments," Candace yelled.
"Yes mam!" Milly said, zipping to the other side of the city where the guys were.
"Are you sure they have reinforcments?" Stacy asked.
"What are you talking about? It's not like we have all the forces, do we?" Candace asked as Stacy told her to look behind, seeing that all the Fireside Girls who were with them had come from fighting a large army. They included of Gretchen, Holly, and Ginger.
"We're back!" Gretchen exclaimed, while Candace slapped herself on the forehead.
Another City in the Tri-State Area:
"Are you kidding? How many forces are there?" Katie asked, while she and Adyson kept fighting.
"Don't ask me. I'm not Rodney," Annabeth said, which sparked an idea in James' head.
"I've got it! I know how we're going to defeat Rodney!" James exclaimed, surprising the whole group.
"WHat is it?" Alexes asked.
"It's probably something useless," Adyson insulted.
"Hey, I didn't ask for your opinion. Anyways, we need to defeat these robots first," James said, four robots getting destroyed at once.
"We're way ahead of you, dude," the four exclaimed together, ready to beat up another.
"I guess you guys already know the plan, or do you not?" he asked, slicing a robot's arm off.
Unknown Area/Time Period:
As they were running, the man said, "Answering your previous question, the year is 2027," shocking the whole group.
"What? But it was just 2007!" Phineas exclaimed.
"Wait, you said 2027? That was our present time!" Harrison exclaimed.
"Wait, are you sure you got your numbers right?" Gerald asked.
"If you aren't sure, look up at that billboard," the man said, pointing to a billboard saying, "2027, the twentieth year of the Rodney Empire!"
"What? Twenty years? Does that mean he became emperor in our present?" Isabella asked.
"I believe so. But right now, I am being hunted by Rodney," the man told them.
"Why?" Phineas asked.
"Well, for starters, I am the last survivor of that war twenty years ago. The others were either killed, or put in prison for life. So I need you guys to make a desicion. Either help me free a few of my allies and then work together to get to the last time machine outside of the empire, or you guys work on your own to get to the past," the man said, as they thought about it.
"We'll help out," the group said in unison, as the man started to smile.
They're the type to be optimistic and help out any in need of it the man's past memory said to him, as he said, "If you guys are ready, we are leaving for the Danville prison cell," the man said, all of the starting to run.
Present Time: Danville:
"Man, I can't believe that guy! He just goes off and says that those guys have no chance of survival, trying shatter our hopes," Buford complained while they were walking on the streets, with their weapons in hand.
"Come on, Buford. He was just thinking realistically," Django said, trying to appease him.
"That won't work, dude. He's just a non-believer, unable to believe in the impossible," Buford said.
"But aren't you a non-believer?" DJango asked, angering him.
"Whatever, anyways, let's get going. We need to find a time machine so we can change the future so he never had that Inventor's Prize or whatever it was," Buford exclaimed.
"That wasn't part of the plan!" Django corrected.
"Whatever. It is now," Buford added as they both bumped into something, dropping their weapons.
"Oh, what are these things?" the two robots asked, looking at them. "What were you planning to do with these things?"
"None of your buisness, you useless bits of bolts!" Buford insulted.
"Buford!" Django exclaimed while the robots got angry.
"Well, if that's what you think about us," unleashing their weapons. "Then I guess there's no harm in killing you, is there?" one of the robots asked, about to attack the two.
But just as they were going to attack, the robot's heads were sliced off, along with their vital points, the robots letting go of their weapons.
"Man, if you had told me that you were going to get yourselves killed, I would've helped you out," someone said. "I guess I'll help out in your quest to find your friends," the person added.
"ARIK!" the two exclaimed.
I know this was a little shorter chapter, but at least I got it a lot earlier, so I guess that could balance things out. Thank you for reading and I hope you have enjoyed Future Catastrophy so far. Also, there is a poll on my profile page for cartoons that I should write about for an upcoming Cartoon X-Over I am in the procress of creating.
Expect Date: I think I can get it by September 15, but if not, I will get it by the 25 for sure.
