Here's the next chapter of "World of the Crazies". Last time, Danny and Timmy escaped Alternate Jimmy's grasp and now entered the alternate world. Find out what they discover…
Chapter 3: Hero of the Universe
In a large alley, Timmy and Danny Fenton were sitting behind a large dumpster after escaping Alternate Jimmy's lab.
"How are you feeling?" Danny asked Timmy.
Timmy stood up and moved his arms and legs up and down. "I can move again."
Suddenly, Timmy's fairies, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof appear above them. "We're glad you two are okay?" Wanda said with a smile.
"Where were you guys anyway?" Danny asked, raising an eyebrow.
Cosmo answered, "We were hiding in Timmy's pocket." he shuddered. "That has to be the darkest place in the world."
Then Timmy asked, "What happened after I got shocked by Jimmy? And why was he acting weird?"
"That wasn't Jimmy." Danny answered. "Well, that wasn't the Jimmy we know. We're in some alternate universe after we fell through Jimmy's Portal Machine."
"Oh man," Timmy groaned sadly. "Cosmo, Wanda, I wish we were back home."
His fairies waved her wands, but they suddenly stopped glowing and made the fart noise. "It's not working." Wanda told them. "I guess we can't get you back to our universe."
Timmy sighed in disappointment. "Now how are we gonna get back?" he reached into his pocket and pulled out his recaller, but when he pushed a button on it, nothing happened. "And I can't use this to get us back either."
"The Jimmy of this universe did say he could get us back." Danny mentioned. "But I couldn't chance it. After what he did to you and the fact that he knows everything about us and our universe, there was no way we could trust him."
"Really?" Timmy asked in surprise. "He's THAT smart?"
"It looks like it." Danny answered solemnly. "He even used some kind of reverse psychology to try and get me to trust him…and the worst part is it almost worked."
"This is bad." Timmy said as he slumped. "If Jimmy is a psychotic genius in this world, who knows what everyone else is like here."
"What are you gonna do?" Wanda asked.
Danny stood up and said, "We have to find a way out of here."
"You mean we're gonna look around?" Timmy asked.
"It's the only choice we've got." Danny responded. "Besides, if this place is really as bad as it seems, we're strong enough to take it."
Timmy looked at Danny and smiled, and then he looked as his fairies, who smiled back.
Meanwhile, in a dark room, the Alternate Jimmy was standing at a table mixing a liquid into a beaker. Another person in the shadows stood behind him and said, "You let them escape."
Alternate Jimmy was unfazed by this as he stopped working momentarily. "They broke through my persuasion is all. But I know for certain that they will be back."
"And what if they don't." the figure asked. "We need them to go through with our plan."
Alternate Jimmy put on a small smirk in the dark and responded, "If they don't come back on their own…I have my ways."
Danny and Timmy walked through the streets with Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof following as cats. They see the town is bleak-looking with not many people outside.
"What kind of world is this anyway?" Timmy asked, looking around.
"It can't be the Nega-Verse." Danny responded. "The Jimmy here is still a genius."
"Maybe we're in a Nega-Nega-Verse." Timmy guessed, looking rather excited. "One where everything's different, but still the same." He sees the others looking skeptical while he explains, "Like the Jimmy here is still a genius, but since he's good in our world, that means he's evil here."
Danny and the fairies still don't look convinced, but Wanda replies, "We're gonna keep trying, but that is a good speculation."
"TIMMY!" two voices called out. Timmy and Danny turn to see Chester and AJ running up to them.
"It's the Alternate Chester and AJ." Timmy realized.
"Just be careful." Danny whispered.
"Dude, you made it back." Alternate Chester said happily as he held Timmy's hands.
"Back from where?" Timmy asked, also acknowledging that there didn't seem to be anything really different about them.
"Wiped your memory, huh?" Alternate AJ thought he noticed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Timmy asked, still looking confused.
"You were captured, remember?" Alternate Chester told him. "How did you escape? And with all your limbs?"
"And no infusions or radioactivity too?" Alternate AJ asked.
"Guys, guys," Danny said, breaking into their conversation. "He doesn't know what you're talking about. You have us confused with someone else."
It was now that Alternate Chester and AJ acknowledge Danny's presence, and their eyes suddenly widen in shock. It wasn't long until they started to back away with frightened looks on their face.
"It's him…" Alternate AJ whispered. "What's he doing out here?"
"What's he gonna do to us this time?" Alternate Chester asked.
"I don't know, but I'm not sticking around to find out!" Then the two covered their eyes and ran away screaming for their lives.
Wanda raised an eyebrow. "Well, that was weird."
"Danny," Cosmo said with a worried look. "You never told us you scared Chester and AJ."
"I don't!" Danny shouted defensively. "But I must be in this world. I could be an evil villain here."
"Or a big-time jerk." Timmy added. "But if Chester and AJ are the same in this world, then that means there's a chance our friends are good too. But what am I like? What did they mean when they said I escaped?"
Before they could think about it, they then heard the sound of an explosion and turn to see smoke coming from inside the Nasty Burger.
"Oh no!" Timmy shouted in shock. "What's happening?"
They suddenly see a figure crash through the glass window of the restaurant and run down the street with something in his hands.
"I don't really know, but we can't just stand here and watch it happen." Danny said with a determined glare. "Let's take care of this, Timmy."
Timmy nodded in agreement, "Right."
Danny changed into ghost form before flying off and Timmy ran after him with his fairies following.
The robber who broke into the Nasty Burger was wearing a trench coat and hat that was covering his face. He was running down the sidewalk with something hidden in his arms until Danny Phantom suddenly floated down in his way, stopping him from going any further.
"You know, there's a reason why they call it a fast-food restaurant." Danny was saying with his arms crossed. "But this may not be the case."
"You!" the robber said in a shocked voice as he stared at Danny. "What are you doing here…outside of all places."
"Something wrong with a little fresh air and butt-kicking?" Danny asked, pounding his fist into his hands.
The robber suddenly scoffed, "You obviously can't be him. You're far too childish."
"You know me in this universe?" Danny asked, looking surprised until he glared. "Who are you anyway?"
Suddenly, a poof came from behind him and Timmy appeared in the air and yanked off his hat before landing on the ground. "Gotcha!" he shouted in triumph.
Once the robber's face was revealed, Danny gasped to see it was the Alternate Vlad Masters and he was holding a box full of money.
"Vlad Masters?" Danny asked in shock.
"Wow, didn't see that one coming?" Cosmo said as Timmy's hammer.
"Out of my way, fools!" Alternate Vlad demanded. "I have to get out of here before it's too late."
"What are you talking about?" Danny asked with his fists glowing. "If you're supposed to be a billionaire, why are you stealing that?"
"And why aren't you in ghost form?" Timmy also asked, holding his large green hammer.
"What on earth are you going on about?" Alternate Vlad replied in confused annoyance. "I've never been wealthy, and what ghost form are you talking about?"
Danny and Timmy both seemed confused. "You mean you're not a billionaire creep with even creepier ghost powers?" Danny asked.
"Certainly not." Alternate Vlad answered. "Now out of my way before he finds me."
"Too late!" a high squeaky voice shouted as another figure jumped down from a building.
Before Danny or Timmy could tell who it was, the figure ran at fast speed and kicked Alternate Vlad down, causing him to drop the box of money.
"Still trying to bribe your way out of the genius's grasp, huh?" the figure asked as he stood over Alternate Vlad. He was wearing brown pants, a white shirt, black boots and finger-less gloves, a pink towel which resembled a cape the way he was wearing it, and an aviator hat.
Alternate Vlad growled on the ground and replied, "Of course, do you really think I want to end up like him over there." He pointed at Danny, much to the ghost boy's confusion.
The figure, with buckteeth, growled angrily and took out what looked like a sharp cooking fork. "You have five seconds to leave before I turn you in."
Then Alternate Vlad scrambled to get up and he ran away as fast as he could from the group. Danny and Timmy stared in shock at what happened and they turn to the figure. "You fellas alright?" he asked until he turned around and revealed himself to be the Alternate SpongeBob SquarePants."
"SpongeBob?" Danny asked in shock.
Once he saw him, Alternate SpongeBob gasped in shock. "Danny!" he put on a happy grin.
He then walked over to him with his arms spread apart. "I can't believe you're out here! You haven't been-" but then he stopped and his smile immediately dropped.
Danny just stood there, looking confused while Alternate SpongeBob pulled his goggles up from his eyes and glared, "You're not Danny."
"Uh…" Danny stammered nervously. "Well, I am but-"
Timmy whispered, "It's the Alternate SpongeBob."
"I figured." Danny whispered back, still looking nervous.
"What's going on?" Alternate SpongeBob asked as he took a step back cautiously. "Who are you guys?"
"SpongeBob," Wanda said. "Don't you know who we are?"
"We're Timmy and Danny." Timmy explained pointing at him and the others. "This is Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof."
"I've never seen you before." Alternate SpongeBob replied until he looked at Danny again. "But you…you look just like-"
"SpongeBob, wait!" Danny stopped him and quickly explained. "I'm not who you think I am. We come from far away."
"We can't get back home." Timmy explained also. "We need help."
"Help, huh?" Alternate SpongeBob said, raising an eyebrow, but then smiled. "Well, you've come to the right sponge." But then he looked at Danny once again with a suspicious look. "But just to be sure…Danny, smile for me."
"What?" Danny asked in surprise.
"Do it!" Alternate SpongeBob shouted in a demanding tone.
Danny hesitated a bit until he put on a forced grin which Alternate SpongeBob seemed to observe.
"Okay," Alternate SpongeBob said. "I guess you can't be him, even if you look like him a bit."
"So are you gonna help us or not?" Timmy asked, looking impatient.
"Are you kidding, I'm a hero." Alternate SpongeBob answered as he lowered his goggles back over his eyes. "I always help those in need. Follow me back to my place and we'll talk some more."
Alternate SpongeBob picked up the box of money Alternate Vlad had stolen ran ahead while Timmy and Danny stay behind with the fairies.
"This is sweet." Timmy smiled at Danny and the fairies. "SpongeBob is still good in this universe. He can really help us."
"Yeah, but there's something not right about him." Danny replied, looking uncertain. "If Chester and AJ are afraid of me and Vlad was afraid to be like me, why isn't SpongeBob? And why did act like he knew who I was?"
Before they could respond, they heard Alternate SpongeBob shout, "Come on, guys! What are you waiting for?"
They then ran forward and followed Alternate SpongeBob to where ever he was taking them.
Now that Timmy and Danny met a few residents of the strange world (some who fear Danny), what will they do when they follow Alternate SpongeBob home? Please review what you think so far.
