Here's the next chapter of "Nicktoons: World of the Crazies". I was heavily inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion for this chapter (please do not ask why). In the lab of an evil genius, anything can happen.

Enjoy…

Chapter 13: The Fight Within

Later on, Alternate SpongeBob, Alternate Danny, Danny, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof were going down the hall of Alternate Jimmy's lab.

As they walked, Danny looked around with a fearful look as he glanced at all the cages that contained whatever Alternate Jimmy experimented on. When he noticed he was lagging behind, he quickly rushed over to the group to follow them.

"Is it always like this here?" he asked Alternate SpongeBob and Alternate Danny.

Alternate Danny took this moment to glance at him with a cruel smirk. "What's wrong…scared?"

Danny glared and answered, "No way! All I want is to find Timmy before he becomes one of them." He gestured to one of the cages with a clawed paw scratching from between the bars.

Then he glared at his alternate self and murmured, "Or worse…one of you."

But Alternate Danny stopped in his tracks and turned his head toward Danny. He then walked toward Danny and stopped right in front of him, staring him in the face.

"You got something to say…human?" Alternate Danny fiercely asked.

Danny glared back at him, but Alternate SpongeBob tried to get between them. "Guys, please stop, you shouldn't…"

While Alternate SpongeBob, Cosmo, and Wanda tried to get between them, Poof floated away from the fighting and drifted to one of the cages. He looked through the bars and immediately smiled, "Poof, poof, poof, poof!" he shouted getting the attention of his mom.

"Guys, where's Poof?" Wanda asked, stopping their fighting.

Danny looked around until he heard Poof squeaking. "Poof, poof, poof!"

He followed the sound and spotted Poof in front of the cages. "Poof," he asked, kneeling down to the fairy baby. "What's up?"

"Timmy…" Poof responded, pointing in the cage.

Danny wondered what he was talking about and looked into the cage, seeing a small figure sitting inside. The figure was wearing a blue robe exactly like the one Alternate Sheen was wearing that had a long collar making it impossible to see the figure's face, and was also wearing black boots, blue pants, and a brown glove on his right hand.

"What are you talking about, Poof?" Danny asked, staring at the caged figure. "That can't be Timmy."

"What is it, Danny?" Wanda asked as she and Cosmo floated over to Danny followed by Alternate SpongeBob and Alternate Danny looked inside the cage also.

"That must be one of Neutron's experiments." Alternate SpongeBob guessed as he stared and narrowed his eyes, "One of his captive experiments."

"In any case, we should help him." Danny said as he gripped onto the bars.

Before he could do anything, Wanda warned, "But what if he's dangerous like everyone else we've encountered from here?"

"Well, we can't just leave him here to be tortured even further."

"You're right, Danny." Alternate SpongeBob nodded in agreement. "Let's get him out."

Danny then turned his hands intangible and phased his hands through the bars and gripped the captive, turning him intangible to pull him through the bars. They then noticed the figure had messy brown hair.

"You okay?" Danny asked as he helped the figure onto his feet. But the figure did not answer and he just stood there silently. "Is that a 'yes'?" he continued to ask, but again the figure did not respond.

Danny looked at him oddly, but Poof just smiled and hugged him. "Timmy!" he said again with a smile.

Danny just continued to stare until he got a suspicious look. "Wait a minute…" he stared and stared until he noticed something on the figure's unkempt brown hair: a pink hat.

"Oh no…" Danny gasped in horror. "Timmy!"

Cosmo, Wanda, and Alternate SpongeBob all gasped as Danny pulled what appeared to be Timmy close.

"Timmy, are you okay?" he asked frantically. "What happened after Jimmy got you? Tell us!"

However, he just continued to stay silent. Danny then reached over and attempted to pull the collar of his robe down, but Timmy just grabbed his wrist with his gloved-hand and stopped him. Danny was surprised at this, but not as much as he was about the strength he now had in his right hand.

"Maybe he can't tell us because the other Jimmy took out his voice box." Cosmo realized in panic. "And now it's floating in a jar somewhere in the lab!"

Then he and Wanda cried as they hugged each other. "Oh, Cosmo, why did it have to be Timmy?" she cried out.

"I don't know! Why couldn't it been you?" Cosmo asked as he cried.

"Yes, why couldn't it been- HEY!"

Alternate SpongeBob walked over and placed a hand on Danny's shoulder. "It's okay, Danny. The important thing is we tried. We'll find some other way to help him."

"Why bother?" Alternate Danny said, catching Danny and Alternate SpongeBob's attention.

Alternate Danny just went on, staring at his fingertips, and not even caring about their expressions, "We're obviously too late to save your friend. So let's just move on and let the worm squirm."

Just then, Danny stood up with an angry glare at his alternate self. "How can you say that?" he walked toward him and stared him in the face. "Timmy's our friend, and I would never leave him here no matter what happened to him."

As Timmy just stared up at Danny, the Alternate Danny just replied, "He's YOUR friend, not mine. I guess you're an even bigger idiot than I thought, but what can I expect from a goody-goody human."

Then suddenly, Danny threw a fast punch at Alternate Danny in the face and knocked him across the room, hitting him into the wall. "You're human too." Danny said frigidly.

Alternate Danny slowly stood up and held his left cheek where he was punched as he glared over at Danny.

"You have powers and you're supposed to use them for good." Danny told his other self. "But instead you're nothing but a psychotic jerk who leaves anyone in danger, and attacks innocent people because you're paranoid."

"What are you? Stupid?" Alternate Danny sneered. "You really think I would act like Wonder Sponge and help all those normal people…I'd rather deal with Neutron."

"That could be arranged." Danny replied, only for his alternate self to fire an ecto-beam, nearly missing him and the others.

Then Danny charged and engaged his alternate self in battle. Wanda grabbed Poof and held him close to keep him from viewing. "Don't look, sweetie."

Alternate SpongeBob just watched the whole thing as he covered his mouth in horror at the two Dannys fighting.

Danny tried to punch him again, but Alternate Danny just dodged and grabbed the real one's neck to strangle him. Danny gasped for air, but then grabbed the chain of the Alternate Danny's left shackle and yanked it down, causing him to release his neck. Danny then kicked Alternate Danny away onto the ground.

Then he used his ghost manipulation to halt Alternate Danny and pin him to the wall. Alternate Danny opened one eye and said, "So, it's come to this, hasn't it?"

"Oh yeah," Danny answered darkly as he began to slowly close his glowing hand, causing Alternate Danny to grunt in pain as he felt his body being crushed.

As Danny continued to crush Alternate Danny under his ghost manipulation, Alternate SpongeBob ran over and grabbed Danny's free arm as he pleaded, "No, stop it!"

Danny roughly pushed him away as he continued to crush his alternate self. But before he could finish, he stopped and his eyes widen as he turned his head to see Alternate SpongeBob lying on the ground with his helmet spinning on the floor a few feet away from him.

"Oh man…" Danny gasped as he stopped his ghost manipulation, letting Alternate Danny slide on the floor.

Danny quickly ran to Alternate SpongeBob and grabbed his arm as he helped him sit up. "SpongeBob, I'm so sorry." Then he looked at his hands with a look of horror on his face. "I don't know what came over me."

Alternate SpongeBob stood up and pushed his hair over his shoulders. "It's okay, Danny. I know you didn't mean it." He said with a weak smile.

Then Danny saw Timmy approach him, still not saying a word or showing his face. "I'm sorry too, Timmy." Danny said, staring at the robed boy. "You probably wouldn't have wanted me to avenge you like that."

After Alternate Danny recovered, he glared at them and muttered bitterly, "How disgusting."

This earned him a simple scowl from Danny. "And no matter how much of a cold-hearted jerk you are, I will never turn into you."

Alternate Danny just snickered cruelly until he said, "As if someone like you ever will." Then his snickering bursts into laughter.

While he laughed, something suddenly struck him in the back which caused him to stop laughing and fall forward onto the floor, unconscious.

Alternate SpongeBob gasped in shock. "What happened?" he asked frantically and turned to Danny. "What did you do?"

"I-I didn't do anything." Danny said defensively.

But much to his shock, something shot at Alternate SpongeBob, knocking him unconscious. Then the same thing knocked Timmy unconscious. Danny stood up in shock and turned to the fairies to see it was three blasts of magic that proceeded to hit Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof and cause them to fall to the ground unconscious.

Danny turned around to the source to see someone standing in the shadows with a glowing staff that had a black crystal aimed at Danny.

"Who are you?" Danny demanded to know.

The figure stepped forward into Danny's view with the staff still aimed at him. Danny's eyes widen in shock at who it was. "It's you…" but he was finally struck down by the same magic blast.

Please tell me what you think so far and expect the next chapter soon.
