I hate writer's block. Especially when you get it during a school break. Sorry for taking so long, but luckily, I was still able to write this chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Also, I'd like to thank rachpop15 for reviewing and Themakers12 and pjgarlach for adding a story alert for this fanfic. Man, really long chapter now that I look at it again...
Outside Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated:
Baljeet was focusing his aim at a robot, about to shoot when he was called, completely missing his shot.
"What is it? Do you know that I am running on just three bullets with three robots left?" Baljeet yelled at Irving.
"Baljeet, Gretchen's not doing so well," Irving said, pointing the Indian boy towards Gretchen, who was coughing up blood. Baljeet looked down, regret still lingering in his eyes. But he decided to shrug it off for the moment and answered Irving.
"Okay, you and Gretchen head back to the other Fireside Girls while I take care of these three robots," Baljeet decided.
But Irving opposed the plan, arguing, "But just as you said it, you only have three bullets left and three robots left. What if you miss or what if it doesn't destroy the robot?" Baljeet thinking it through.
After momentary planning, he answered, "Well, I guess we'll figure it out when we get to that point. For now, just hurry off and head back to Ginger and the others," Irving rushing away, carrying the injured Fireside Girl.
While he was running, there was something imprinted into Irving's mind. Why did he say Ginger and the others? he thought to himself, but just ignored it as he made his way through a few trees to find the girls together. "Hey girls. How are your injuries?"
"We're fine," the three said, but they looked at Gretchen and asked, "What happened?" Irving just looking down, hiding his solemn look from them.
"You don't want to know," he answered, adding, "Just heal her, okay?" he asked, the girls getting to work.
Meanwhile, Baljeet was hiding in a bush, still waiting for the perfect opening. The robots were wandering around, looking for enemies and leaving themselves defenseless. Baljeet took this chance to defeat two of them. But when the two robots fell, five more came from above, flying up to search from the sky. Noticing this, Baljeet took his last shot to take down the the front runner of the robots in the sky.
"Damn," he muttered, the four other robots flying off, leaving one robot that charged after the nerd. The robot tackled Baljeet to the ground, unable to attack. But desperate, he took his AK-47 and slammed the robot in the head, not even fazing it.
The robot chuckled at his attempt, knocking him away and making him crash against a tree. Getting up, Baljeet looks at his gun, bent up and almost useless. Almost useless. The robot ran up to the nerd again, but since it couldn't run at a fast pace, Baljeet was able to dodge it and take a hiding spot behind a bush.
The girls were healing Gretchen with their remaining medicine, not noticing the four robots up above. "Okay, you three go out first. For now, just ignore the injured one unless provoked."
"How come you don't have to fight?" another asked.
"What are you talking about? It's an honor to be able to battle in the name of Emperor Rodney," the leader said.
"I guess you're right," the robot said, going out first.
"Newbies. Easily convinced," another one said. "Come on, let's finish this quickly," the other two moving out while the leader sat back and watched the events begin.
Hearing something in the air, Holly looked up and saw the four robots charging. "Uh, guys," pointing their attention up.
"Holy smokes!" Milly exclaimed, taking up her weapon.
"Let's go," Ginger said.
"But I just finished fighting. Can't I take a break?" Irving asked.
"Of course you can... but if you do now, your break will be PERNAMENT!" she exclaimed, scaring the boy into complying.
Man, I don't get what Baljeet likes about her, though he may deny it Irving thought to himself, one of the robots snapping him out of his thoughts.
"You were the weakling I saw earlier, weren't you?" the robot asked, forcing Irving backwards with his weapon. But after hearing the robot speak, he immediately walked up to him and destroyed it's weak point.
"What?" the robot asked, shocked at being killed so easily. Irving then walked up to the bundled-up pieces of metal and stomped on it.
"No way in hell can YOU call me weak!" he yelled, yawning and falling down, asleep.
Seeing their ally asleep, Ginger said, "Man, I was thinking he was looking pretty cool there."
"Ginger, how could you call Irving hot?" Milly asked. "Isn't Baljeet low enough?"
"What did you say about MY Baljeet?" Ginger asked, the two clashing heads. But just before anything could happen, Holly came up and smacked both in the face.
"Get a grip, you two. Don't you guys remember that we're in the middle of a battle here?" she asked, setting the two straight.
"Are you guys going to fight, or not?" the two robots asked, the girls charging towards the robots. But the two robots jumped up, the girls rushing past, allowing the robots to kick the girls to the ground. But when the robots turned to look at them, they got nailed in the face by their sabers.
"YES!" the three exclaimed, taking their sabers out. But the robots were unfazed, shocking the three girls. "What?" the robots grabbing each of them by the neck.
"HELP!" they yelled, hoping that Irving would wake up. But instead, the girls were suddenly released from the grip of the robots, all of them surprised.
"What was that?" Milly asked, the other two girls shrugging their shoulders. But when they turned their attention away, the three robots were hit severely and were defeated, falling to the ground, dismantled. "Gretchen?" the three asked in unison, seeing their injured friend in front of them.
Meanwhile, Baljeet then looked at the robot, who was taking out a gun, about to shoot him. On instinct, he sprinted up and smacked the gun out of the robot's hand, taking it and throwing the empty gun at the robot.
He then took a shot at the gun, exploding and knocking the robot down. "It's over," shooting at it's vital point and immediately falling to the ground next to his enemy. He had won the battle, but then, he realized he had unfinished buisness, getting up and sprinting to help his friends.
When he had arrived, he saw Holly, Milly and Ginger standing over Gretchen and Irving asleep. "Uh, why is Irving asleep?" he asked.
"Oh, don't worry about it. He's fine... for now," Ginger said with a creepy smile that scared everyone that was awake.
"So what do we do now?" Holly asked, but her attention was directed up to the robot jumping towards them.
"Hey Ginger, do you have another load of ammo on you?" Baljeet asked, Ginger handing him a set of ammo. "EAT MY BULLETS, YOU SCRAP OF METAL!" rapidly using his bullets to shoot the robot. It tried to evade, but Baljeet kept shooting, eventually shooting at it's vital spot, dropping to the ground while it was jumping.
"He's so awesome," she said, fawning over him, Baljeet dropping his gun on the sleeping Irving.
After getting hit, Irving screamed, "Please, I'm just an innocent Phineas and Ferb Fan," rustling around until he finally stayed still.
"Well that wasn't awkward in any way," Milly said, adding, "So what should we do now?"
"HEY! I asked that!" Holly yelled.
"Does it really matter?" Milly asked, ending the arguement.
"Well, I guess we can wait till the others get here," Baljeet answered, laying a cloth on the ground and sitting, getting a weird stare from Holly and Milly. "What? I don't want to get my clothes dirty for no reason."
Candace, Jeremy, Stacy, Katie, Adyson and Melissa:
Jeremy charged towards the giant robot, trying to attatch to its leg. But the robot jumped up and clung to the wall and started to climb using its limbs. "Hey, this thing is trying to copy Spiderman!" Candace yelled, forgetting that Jeremy was having a tough time holding on.
"Come on, Candace. Your boyfriend is up there. We need to help him!" Stacy exclaimed.
"Oh Jeremy..." she said, but then was brought back to reality, saying, "Come on, Stacy. I've got an idea."
Jeremy was climbing up the robot, hoping to reach its energy source. But the robot was not willing to let him climb up its body. Hoping to land a blow, the robot started to punch itself, but was very inaccurate, unable to hit Jeremy.
"Wow, that thing is pretty stupid," Stacy said.
"I'll say," Candace agreed, but both continued to sprint towards the robot, trying to assist Jeremy. "Eat Lance, robot," throwing her double-edged lance at the robot. But it didn't even faze, grabbing the girl and bring her right up to its face.
"It seems someone wants to be troublesome. In that case, I'll just dump you in here," opening its mouth to show hydrochloric acid piling up inside. "You see, my body runs on acids, so it needs a lot of acid power to generate. But it can also be used to incinerate meddlesome teenagers," slowly moving her towards its mouth.
"NO!" jumping towards her, pushing her off and taking her place.
"Jeremy!" she exclaimed, seeing him being dropped inside. "NOOOoooO!" she yelled.
"What was with the varied volume?" Stacy asked.
"Not right now, I'm mourning that my boyfriend is being burned in acid," she said, tearing up.
"Um, your boyfriend would like you to help him before an acid bubble burns his skin," Jeremy said, shocking the both of them.
"JEREMY!" she exclaimed.
"How are you alive?" the robot asked.
"I have to wonder myself. Anyways, do you girls have a pack of Tums on you?" he asked.
Not seeing why he would need them, they answered, "No. Do you have an upset stomach or something?"
"No, it's just, this thing runs on acid, correct? If so, we should be able to neutralize the acid by using a base," he yelled.
"But how do you know it works?" Candace asked.
"I already tested it out with a bar of soap I kept in my pocket," he said, the girls just staying silent.
"What? You never know when you would need it, and thank heavens I brought it with me. Anyways, if we can get a bag of Tums or something like that, we can use it to neutralize the acid and deplete its energy source," Jeremy explained.
"Man, when did you get so smart?" Stacy asked.
"Didn't you know? My job at Slushy Burgers gives us tutoring sessions during our breaks. Just call it a 'Catch Up' time," he said, adding, "Can you guys get something quick? I might not last long," he asked, the robot charging towards them.
"Oh no you don't. Now that you know my weakness, I won't let you off so easy," charging towards the two girls.
"EEEKKKK!" they exclaimed, running from the robot who was giving chase.
Watching the robot, the two girls didn't realize that just in their path, Adyson was trying to fight. "I won't allow you to keep Katie in there!" she exclaimed, taking out a bomb. But just as she took it out, Candace and Stacy crashed into her, causing her to drop the bomb nearby Mellisa.
"What the heck was that for, you idiots?" she asked, but then saw the robot chasing them. "Oh no," she said and then looked at Mellisa who was holding the bomb.
"Mellisa! Drop the bomb!" she yelled, but Mellisa just shook the rattle, accidentally raising the bomb and flinging it towards the ball of armor, exploding on contact.
Hearing the explosion, Katie woke up and looked around. "Where am I?" she asked, not able to see anything because of the steam.
"Katie, is that you?" Adyson asked, the giant robot trying to attack her while she was talking. "Hey, that is just rude."
"Adyson!" she yelled and added, "So, where am I?"
"Right now, you're inside a giant ball of armor," Adyson answered.
"A giant ball of what?" she asked, but Adyson wasn't able to answer, trying to dodge the attacks of both robots.
"Anyways, try to make your way out before the steam gets to you," Adyson said.
"Yeah, like I don't already *cough cough*," Katie tried to say, when a ball of steam rose up out of the robot's mouth.
"That doesn't look good," Stacy said, looking at the the steam.
"What are we waiting for? We need to save Jeremy!" Candace exclaimed, the group focusing.
"Right. Do any of you have any tums on you?" Stacy asked, Adyson looking through her pockets, but found nothing.
"Oh, I have some," Katie said, trying to throw the case out, but the tums didn't reach outside, falling towards somewhere else inside the armor. "Dang it!"
"Did something happen?" Mellisa asked.
"The tums fell. I lost ahold of them," Katie said, disappointing the group.
"Great. There goes our one shot at getting Jeremy out of his mess," Candace said, but Adyson just ignored this and rushed up to the robot and swung her hammer, denting the armor.
"What are you guys doing? It's simple. We've just got to defeat that robot, get the tums and Katie out of there, and then defeat that tall robot over there," Adyson explained, Candace, Stacy and Mellisa ready to help. "Okay, each of you aim for a weak spot."
"But where are the weak spots?" Candace asked.
"See where I put that dent in the armor? We need to hit every vital point in that armor. Otherwise, you won't be able to dent the armor," she explained.
"But how many weak points are there?" Stacy asked.
"These questions are pointless. We're just wasting time. In this time, it could decide whether your "precious" Jeremy and Katie survive," Adyson said.
"You know I heard that, right?" Jeremy asked.
"Me too," Katie added.
"Can we just to the plan already?" Adyson said impatiently. But when she turned her head, she noticed that the three had already charged forward.
But she noticed that Mellisa was just staning in the middle of the battlefield. "Wait, what do I do?"
Not knowing what to assign the little girl, Adyson answered, "Just stay safe for now. If I need you, I'll call you," running towards the robot. But left unguarded, Mellisa did not notice the other robot just behind her.
The other girls were heavily attacking the robot when the heard the plea for help from the future Fireside Girl. "HELP!" Mellisa exclaimed, getting slowly dropped towards the robot's mouth.
"We need to help her!" Candace exclaimed, rushing towards them. But she was too late, the little girl getting dropped inside the tall robot.
"Damn it!" Adyson exclaimed, unable to save another person. But the group were shocked to not hear a splash from inside the robot.
"Huh? Did she fall in?" Stacy asked, the group not sure what had happened.
"Hold on," Jeremy grunted, keeping her up with his leg.
"JEREMY!" Candace exclaimed, but Jeremy was having a tough time keeping the girl from falling. Luckily, Mellisa unconsciously started to shake her rattle, which turned the acid into a different liquid.
"Is that... Water?" Jeremy asked, unsure, but he could no longer hold Mellisa up, both of them falling into the water.
*SPLASH*
"I think they fell," Stacy said platonicly.
"JEREMY!" Candace exclaimed, thinking that her boyfriend was burning in acid.
"Don't worry. It's not acid," Jeremy exclaimed, shocking everyone in the room.
"WHAT?" but the most shocked was the giant robot itself, who started to slowly deteriorate.
"Damn," the robot scoffed, falling apart, the body parts breaking and allowing Jeremy and Mellisa to escape.
"Impossible. How did they do that?" the other robot thought to himself. But then continued, "No matter. I guess I have no choice then," releasing spikes from its armor and rolling towards the unsuspecting group.
While inside the rolling robot, Katie was starting to lose energy, not having oxygen inside the robot. Dang it! At this rate, I won't survive she thought to herself, losing consciousness until suddenly, the steam had left the robot.
"Huh?" she cried out, trying to breathe, realizing that there was air inside the robot. "I CAN BREATHE!" she exclaimed, taking in huge breaths of air.
"What?" the robot yelled, but just like its compatriot, began to tear apart. "And here, I thought the steam made me invincible. Who thought there would be someone, a child no less, that could defeat..." losing power and breaking apart and allowing Katie to get out.
But when she escaped the armor, she saw her friends injured severely. "What happened?"
"Oh, that robot went bananas. It just started charging at us while we were focusing on that other robot, so we didn't expect the attack," Candace answered.
"It was my fault for being careless. I was foolish to forget about the other robot," Adyson scolded herself.
"Don't worry about it. None of us are severely injured, but I don't think we can continue forward," Stacy analyzed.
"Okay, so do we just wait?" Katie asked, the group just staring up, wondering what was happening.
Phineas, Isabella and Arik:
"ISABELLA!" Phineas exclaimed, watching Isabella get shot by R2-D2. In rage, he took his spear and rushed up to the robot, stabbing the robot continually.
"Nice one, Flynn. Let's finish him," Arik exclaimed, charging behind Phineas and attacking.
But as she was falling, Isabella couldn't help but agonize looking at the anger in Phineas' eyes. "...P-phineas?" she asked, falling on the ground.
But seeing her fall just fueled Phineas' rage. He rarely got angry, even in signs of stress. But he could not control his emotions, having seen her injured so many times, not even realizing that he was continually attacking the robot.
R2-D2 started to make a recovery, launching giant spheres of dark energy at them, slamming them towards the wall and knocking them down.
Persistent and ignoring the pain, Phineas and Arik stood back up and charged at the robot, only to be pushed back again. But none of them expected a magic bullet to fly right past them, piercing the robot right at its panic button.
When they heard the beeping from the robot, Arik asked, "What's with the robot?"
He didn't know, but then saw the button that was crushed on the robot, fearing the outcome of it all. "... That robot... is in panic mode."
"What? Please elaborate, Einstein," Arik joked.
"Well, not many robots these days have them, but panic buttons are used in moments of danger. The robot goes out of control, destroying anything in its path."
"WHAT? How come none of the other robots have this ability?" Isabella asked.
"Well, like I said, not many robots have this mode anymore, but if they do, usually they are used on self-operated robots," Phineas answered.
"Then why are we standing here? Let's get out of here," Arik said, leading the group towards the exit of the hallway. But R2-D2 was standing in their path, not allowing the three to press forward. "Damn, it looks like we have to destroy it to pass."
"What makes you say that?" Phineas asked, shocking both of his friends.
"Have you gone mad Flynn?" Arik asked. It was about time. Your obliviousness and over-analyzing has driven me mad too.
"Sorry," Not yet. "We just need to pass by it," Phineas said.
"It's harder than it sounds, literally. That thing is crazy, as you already guessed, and if that thing is out to kill us, how are we going to pass by it?" Arik asked.
"Please Phineas, no need to fall to insanity," Isabella said.
"I'm not insane... yet. That thing wants to kill us, correct? If so, we just need to get out of its site. If we do, its hard drive will cause it to ignite and blow up," Phineas explained.
"So how are we going to 'disappear'?" Arik asked.
"Well... I have nothing," Phineas said, defeated.
"What do you mean? You have to think of something. I know you can," Isabella said, trying to encourage him.
After thinking for a bit, he said, "...Well, I have one idea, but..."
"What are you waiting for? Tell us your solution!" Arik yelled.
"Well, the only solution I can think of is... if one of us goes out and gets the robot's attention, the other two can slip through and pass to the stairs."
"So, pretty much, a decoy," Isabella said.
"Correct. But there is a high chance that the person who is the decoy will not survive," he said, his words still trembling as they escaped the genius' lips. Both of his friends stood shocked, but their attention was caught by a flying laser beam passing within inches of their faces.
"I guess I have no choice. I will-"
"I'll be the decoy!" Isabella said with determination, shocking both of the boys.
"Wait, I can't let that happen! What if you get hurt again? You're already severely injured!" Phineas yelled in disagreement.
"Wait, Flynn, just let her. If anyone has the slightest chance of surviving, it's her," Arik implied.
"But-"
"Besides, you two are the only chance we have against Rodney. We need to change the future... for the better," she said valiantly, but then smirked and added, "Besides," taking out a teleportation device. "I can just escape with this," shocking both of the boys.
"Since when did you get that?"
"You gave it to me, remember?" both of the boys shocked.
"...Oh right," but felt his arm tugged.
"Come on, we need to hurry. We don't know how long it will take to get there," Arik said, his tug feeling like a tug back to reality.
"Yeah, but first," turning towards Isabella, "Isabella, if I don't come back..." Phineas started, stuttering.
"Come on, what kind of attitude is that? Are you already thinking that you will be killed in the next fight? That's not the Phineas Flynn attitude that I fell in love with!" she exclaimed, but then realized what she had said, her face looking as red as an apple.
"Wait, you... love me?" Phineas asked, Arik in the background just facepalming.
Is he really this dense? Arik asked himself, but just watched as the two looked into their eyes affectionately. Isabella then just chuckled and lightly slapped his face.
"Of course I do, dummy. How could anyone not?" she asked, causing Phineas to blush. He then picked her up by her waist and kissed her on the lips. Isabella was shocked when Phineas pressed his lips upon hers, but returned the kiss.
Those two have gone from oblivious love birds to just plain disgusting Arik thought to himself, watching the two kiss each other. But Phineas and Isabella forgot he was there, just focusing on the other.
The kiss lasted an eternity to them, but ended when Phineas released the kiss, almost gasping for breath. "Come back to me, okay?" Isabella asked, holding his hands.
"Of course I'll come back," he answered, hugging her. "Once we defeat Rodney, I will definitely come back to you."
"Now that's the Phineas that I love," she giggled, releasing the hug as Phineas and Arik left towards the stairs while Isabella headed towards the prison cells. But neither would know the danger that awaited everyone in the building.
