Well, here we go! Chapter Eleven! Enjoy!:

"Perry?" breathed Phineas. "You- you're the hooded figure? And why are you wearing a hat?"
"So much for platypuses not doing much," Buford smirked.
"Uh, the word is platypi," said Baljeet.
"I don't think so," defended Buford.
"Guys, now's not the time to marvel over the fact that Perry's some kind of secret agent with a hat, or argue over the plural form of platypus," said Candace. "What we need to do is get off this island. We don't know how long it'll be until demolition finishes."
As if on cue, the ground started to shake.
"I'm guessing not much longer," said Phineas. "Come on, let's go!"
He bolted towards the beach, followed by Ferb, Perry, Candace, and Isabella, who were all helping carry the raft. Buford, Irving, and Baljeet brought up the rear.
A few minutes later, the six kids, Candace, and Perry arrived at the beach and set the raft into the water that was shaking ever so slightly due to the island, which was still experiencing a minor earthquake.
Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Baljeet, Buford, and Irving all climbed onto the raft. Then, Perry took off his hooded sweatshirt, grabbed the raft, pushed off and kicked at the water with his feet, acting as a sort of propeller.
There was just enough room on the raft for the seven humans to sit criss-cross applesauce.
"How fast do you think we're going?" asked Phineas as the wind gently pushed his hair backwards as the raft moved.
"Not very," answered Baljeet. "Why?"
"I'm wondering if one of us should go down there and help Perry," said Phineas. "The faster we get away from the island, the better."
"He seems to be doing pretty well on his own," observed Baljeet. "I don't think that that'll be necessary. Besides, he is semi-aquatic."
"Notice the prefix, 'semi'" Phineas pointed out.
That comment offended Perry. He knew that he could swim faster than everyone else on the raft. The only reason that his owner was saying that was likely due to the hurt Phineas was feeling after finding out that his beloved pet was leading a double life.
Suddenly, about 100 yards behind the raft, the island imploded, sending a large wave towards the six kids, Candace, and Perry.
Candace saw the wave and screamed. "We're doomed!" she cried. "I can't believe that I'll never live to see Phineas and Ferb get busted."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that," said Phineas. He stood up, concentrated, and created a spherical force field around the raft and Perry.
About ten seconds later, the wave caught up to them and pushed the force field and the contents inside forward several hundred yards before dropping it onto calm water.
Immediately, the force field disappeared and the raft plopped onto the water.
This caused Perry to be submerged under water for a few seconds. While under the surface, the platypus saw something fifteen yards in front of him that he did not like.
He swam under the raft, emerged in front of it, and began to push it back the way it had come.
"Uh, wrong way, Perry," said Irving. "Pfft! Rookies. Can't get anything right."
"I think he knows what he's doing," said Isabella. "Look!"
A second later, everyone on the raft gasped.
"Waterfall!" screamed Baljeet. "We're gonna die!" He began to hyperventilate.
Perry wished that all of the commotion on the raft would stop. He was getting distracted by it. It was bad enough that his host family knew his secret; that was distracting enough.
Perry could feel his strength ebbing as the pull of the waterfall grew stronger.
"Someone help Perry push the raft!" screamed Candace. "I'm too young to die!"
"We can't afford to try that," said Phineas. "The current of the waterfall is too strong! Perry is our only hope!"
Isabella stifled a sob and took Phineas' hand. "This could be it!" she said. "It's now or never."
This is hopeless, thought Perry. The waterfall is about eight feet away by the looks of it. Me pushing the raft is only delaying the inevitable. Well, I guess for once, Doofenshmirtz wins. He wins the last battle.
Perry gave one final kick, before climbing aboard the raft to await his demise.
Phineas lost all hope after Perry gave up. He squeezed his eyes shut and put his head against Isabella's.
Two seconds later, he felt himself falling and could hear the screams of everyone else intensifying.
"This is it, Isabella," Phineas. "I—"
All of a sudden, everything flipped. Phineas felt himself flying upwards, stopping for a split second, falling for another second, and then landing on a tile floor.
After a few seconds, Phineas dared to open his eyes. He saw that he and the others were sprawled on the floor in Dr. D's apartment. He also noticed that an inator next to the wall, under a television, showing the waterfall.
The screaming lowly stopped once everyone realized where they were.
"What? Wh-this-this doesn't make any sense, stammered Baljeet as he slowly got up.
"It kinda does," said Phineas. He let go of Isabella and got on his feet. "The way to escape the Doof was talking about must have been falling off the waterfall."
"Wait, do you guys hear that?" asked Irving as he stood up. "It sounds like people screaming."
Phineas ran to the terrace and looked down at the street below. The streets were filled with people running and screaming at the top of their lungs.
Phineas stepped onto the ledge. "I'm gonna go see why they're screaming. While I'm gone, Perry and Candace are in charge."
Isabella ran over to him. "Wait, why are you going to jump off the terrace?" she asked. "Can you fly?"
Phineas nodded. "I learned how to do that during my last fight with the serpent."
Isabella looked down at her feet. "Just…promise me you'll be careful."
"I promise," said Phineas softly. "I will see you again." With those words, he jumped off the terrace.
Well, there's Chapter Eleven. What do you think? Are there things I could have done better? Please let me know by reviewing.
