Chapter 3

I ran and ran until I bumped into Isabella. Walking by her were the Fireside Girls, Baljeet and Buford. I shook myself off.

"Hey Phineas." Isabella said in her usual tone. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Trying to destroy Perry." Phineas answered in the zombie tone of his. "Why don't you join us?" Isabella looked surprised, the others gasped except Buford.

"Destroy Perry?" Isabella wanted to know. Then she looked angry. "Phineas, why do you want to kill your own pet? That's inhuman of you; the Fireside Girls troop forbids it. The Be Kind to Animals Patch is against it. Its purpose is to…" Then the spell hit Isabella and the group.

"Sounds lovely." Isabella said, in the zombie tone. "Girls, let's go get out Kill the Platypus Patch!" The girls agreed and headed towards me. I backed up. Now I may not be a Fireside Girl, or not involved in any organizations like that, but I defiantly know that that patch doesn't exist. I began running again. I ran on all fours to make me go faster.

"We're going to get you platypus punk!" Buford called from behind me.

"You can run, but you can't hide!" Baljeet added.

I hid behind a dumpster and sighed with relief. I looked to my left when I heard growing. I gulped; it was Suzy and her poodle, Mizie! I did a fake smile to them. Suzy was grinning creepily.

"Ready or not platypus." She mocked. "We'll going to get you!" She snapped her fingers. "Get ready to be puppy chow. Go!" She and the poodle lunged towards me. I dodged them, and continued running on all fours.

When the chase progressed, the whole Danville population joined in. There were Jeremy, Irving, Django, Pinky, Linda, Lawrence, Isabella and Stacy's moms, and more citizens. Even Monogram, Carl, Vanessa, Charlene, and Doofensmirtz joined in.

All of them wanting the same thing, me! I ran until I got to a cliff.

I stopped, and looked out, a large drop! I looked behind me; the chase was closing in on me. I looked at the ocean again, and took a deep breath. I was about to jump in when Buford grabbed me.

"I'll hold him, and you punch!" Buford told my owner. Phineas looked at Ferb. I was trembling in fear.

"Ferb." He said. "I know what we're doing today. Let's destroy Perry once and for all!" He laughed evilly.

"Okay come on." Buford encouraged. "I got him, I got him! Punch him in oblivion!" I slipped out of Buford's grip, and faced the ocean below.

"Hey he escaped." Buford said. I was about to jump when I saw Phineas lunged towards me. My eyes wide.

"Get him!" He shouted. I quickly ducked, and saw the boy sail off the cliff. The citizens gasped. I looked as he hit the water with panic.

He may be hypnotized by Percival but he was still my owner. He could drown in that ocean! Rather he wanted to kill me or not, I just had to save him! I made my heroric dive. The others gasped again as I made my splash.

I looked around for Phineas. When I saw him. His eyes were closed, and he went under. I dived in, got my owner, and swam to the nearby shore.

When we landed on the land, I collapsed with exhustion. Phineas turned to me.

Oh no! I thought to myself. Can it wait until I get my strength back to try to kill me again? Please, I'm exhausted! Then Phineas's eyes turned back to normal. He smiled, and petted me. I flinched, waiting for the worst. I calmed down as soon I realized he meant no harm.

"There, there Perry." He soothed. "It's alright. I'm okay." He then looked at where we were, confused. "Where am I?" He looked at the cliff, then the ocean. "Whoa, that's one nasty fall." He looked at me again.

"Did you save my life Perry? Did you rescue me from drowning in that body of water? Huh, did you buddy?" I just looked at him, leapt in his lap, laid down, and chattered. He petted me.

"Well whatever it was." He smiled. "I'm glad we're both safe. I had a dream that I was trying to kill you, but I would never do that to you. You're my pet, and I'll always love you no matter what." I smiled up at him. He then looked at the rocky cliff.

"Is that the same cliff where we found you under our bus?" I looked out, and smiled again as I turned back to him. It sure was, but I didn't care. I was just so relieved that Phineas was back to normal, safe and sound. He petted me again.

"Well either way, I'm glad you're safe pal." He looked up at his friends on the cliff.

"Guys!" He shouted. "Come down, its okay. Perry and I are safe!" Then all of them dived in at once. They all swam to shore, their eyes back to normal. I smiled again. The water must've cured them of their spell. I sighed with relief, glad that's over!

"Phineas, Phineas!" Isabella shouted as she ran to us. Baljeet, Buford, that crazed fan of my owners, Irving, and the fireside girls, came beside her.

"Phineas are you alright?" She and the others were soaking wet. Phineas stood, I leapt to the ground.

"Yes." He answered. "But you know, I get the crazy feeling that Perry saved me."

"Well, he is a special mammal." Isabella said.

"He will always be a hero to us." Ferb added. I felt proud of his soothing, comforting words. I then looked up at the side of the cliff, my eyes wide and frozen.

Doofensrmirtz, still under Percival's control, was about to press a button on one of his inators. I quickly found a nearby bucket, picked it up, got a bucketful of water, carried it in my mouth, and ran to them.

"Perry, where you going?" I heard Phineas call to me. "Is everything all right?" I stopped at a nearby boulder, watching at what they were doing.

"At lassst!" Percival told himself. "With this, there no stopping me! I'll become the all powerful sssnake in the world, even that pathtic platypusss can't stop me!" He laughed, and then turned to Dr. D.

"You know what to do."

"Yes master." Dr. D said in his hypnotized tone. He put his hands on the lever.

I stood in panic, I couldn't let Percival do this, he had to be stopped! Quickly, I leapt towards them.

"Dr. D!" I shouted, even though I knew perfectly well that he couldn't understand me, all he could hear was my loud, shill chattering. "NOOOOOOOO!" I felt like I was in a slow motion scene on TV.

It was too late. By the time I landed, Dr. D has pulled the lever all the way down.

Suddenly, magic hit Percival. He laughed as he grew bigger. Without taking my eyes off, I splashed the water on my human nemesis.

"At lassst, I'm the ultimate powerful creature in the world, and nobody can stop me!" He laughed again.

Dr. D groaned as I helped him up. He looked at the madness in front of us.

"Uh oh!" He realized. "I think I did something bad that was way beyond my control, and I don't like it."

"I'll destroy that platypusss once and for all like I did with his parents, and there's nothing he can do about it!" He laughed evilly.

I ran to the anaconda. I was far-out determined, I couldn't let him do this. I had to save the world. There was only one platypus that can stop this monstrosity, and that was me. I wasn't going to accept defeat, this was my biggest mission yet, and for me, failure was absolutely not an option. I had to give it my all no matter what. The whole entire world was counting on someone to stop this madness, and I wasn't going to disappoint them without a fight.
