"Hey Summer! Whatcha doin'?" Isabella called from the bottom of their latest invention. "Oh hey, mom. We're building an out there skateboarding… ramp…" Summer claimed, as he lost his grip on the skateboard and it fell down into the course, breaking into a million pieces. Isabella stared at what was once a board, and Summer stated, "OK mom, we will build a safety suit. Hey, Mist! Why don't we model it on a bird! It'll be so cool!" Isabella heard it, and sighed. "I think I know where this is going… anyway Summer, I'm going down to the Fireside Lodge. You guys have fun!" she said, careful not to mention the first part to Summer. Mist waved and smiled, and Haley showed up. Mist jumped, and hurriedly climbed down.
"Hey, Fireside Girls!" Isabella said as she walked in. "Oh, hi, Mrs Flynn!" Bella stated. The other girls noticed her, and waved as well. "Anyway, Mrs Flynn, I was thinking of getting the Intrepid Reporter Patch today. Is Summer doing anything today?" Bella continued. Isabella shook herself out of her brief visit to Phineasland that remark brought, and said, "Sure, he's…" before stopping herself. Bella liked Summer… and if today was anything like last time, that could be fatal. "Well… there's… well, I feel like there's going to be something today, which is not related to Summer!" she finished, flashing a goofy grin. Lara, the troop's second in command, asked a flat, "What?" Isabella stepped slowly from the room. "…See you!" Isabella said, leaving the room in panic. "…Anyway, Bella here, for your new top story, 'Summer is seizing the day!' Now for a story!" Bella stated.
Ferb and Vanessa headed to their computer to find out what Doofenshmirtz was up to. "Hello, Tri-State Area! It's me, Mayor Doofenshmirtz. New law… keep an eye out for those pesky Fletcher criminals! Doofenshmirtz is out, peace!" he said over a monitor. Vanessa cursed, and Ferb nodded. "Why is he mayor? And why is no one aware of the change?" he asked. They both rushed out to put a stop to him.
"Okay, Haley! This suit is ready for action!" Summer stated. He hopped on Haley's shoulders, and put on the top of the suit. "Wow! Hey, Mist! How do we look?" he asked. Mist stated, "Good. Now test out your doodad!" Summer and Haley did so, in an awesome display that must be seen to be believed. Mist giggled, and all three of them heard a panicked shout. "Help! My sister's trapped in a tree!" bellowed the usually quiet Hans. "Maybe we better help him!" Summer said, and went off. Isabella spotted the suit flying off to save India. This was all going according to how it did last time.
"SUMMER? SUMMER!" Bella called out in his backyard. "Oh, Summer's gone… well, that Intrepid Reporter Patch isn't going to earn itself! I'm going to find Summer!" she muttered. Mist looked around, and Bella froze. "He's gone to the park," she said, and Bella backed off in that general direction.
India took a step to try and get off the tree. A limb snapped, and she fell… right into the arms of a flying man with a bird-like suit. Bella snapped pictures of the man, as he flew in a loop to return India to Hans. "Hello, mister!" Bella called over to the man. "What might your name be?" she asked. The man introduced himself as Taka, and Bella asked for an interview. "…Nah. It's what I do. You don't have to make such a fuss over it," Taka said, before leaving. Bella sighed, and began working on her report. "If only Summer were here…"
Amanda walked along the pavement, wondering what happened to Summer and Haley. She looked up, and spotted a flying man. "Wait… people can't fly… Summer! I've got you now! I'm telling your mother!" she muttered to herself.
Doofenshmirtz cackled wildly, drunk with power. He tried assembling some of the Tri-State Area's leaders, but failed. Roger was moaning in a corner, trying to escape from Doofenshmirtz' trap. Ferb and Vanessa flew in, and Roger tried to cheer. "Now, Ferb Fletcher, you will know true pain! Because I am not going to let you win this time!" Doofenshmirtz cackled, before Vanessa nailed him with a chair. "WHAT?" he cried out.
Summer clambered out of the suit, to see Mist holding up a paper. "Taka the Hawk saves a fellow Fireside Girl from serious injury. With Taka watching over us…" he read out from the part Mist had subtly gestured to.
And from another part of America, a jaded villain finished it. "The Tri-State Area is free to have the best day ever. Carpe diem!" he read. "OH, that pesky Tri-State Area. Second bird-themed hero in my lifetime with the same promises! I promise… this time, the Tri-State Area will tremble in the name of Khaka Peü Peü!" he rambled. He ducked as a chair was thrown at him. "The Tri-State Area has already got an insane super villain. It doesn't need you!" his wife bellowed.
Summer said, "A superhero? We didn't plan for this? I mean, that might've been what we told Bella…" but was cut off by the phone. "Hey Summer!" Bella said over the phone. "Hey Bella! Anything interesting happen?" he asked. Bella told him all about Taka. "Well… Taka… you know, I know something that I will only entrust to you to report on. Would you like to hear it? I'll be downtown in five," Summer said, and hung up. "We have to tell Bella. She reported on Taka, she'll be the one the public wants to hear!" he told Haley.
Summer and Haley were flying downtown when they were slammed to the floor. "Ha ha! I'm Khaka Peü Peü! And I'm going to destroy you, thank you very much. With my Khaka Crawler! And I'm wise to all your lies, because you're not that discreet… Beak!" Khaka Peü Peü claimed, and Bella gasped. "Summer will have to wait! I've got to get this on the real Taka!" she screeched, somewhat annoyed at Summer for his delay.
"Well, Ferb, I have achieved domination of the Tri-State Area… with a giant robot attack! Ferb, go fight that!" Dr Doofenshmirtz claimed. Roger shook his head, and Ferb claimed, "No. I made my decision when you killed Perry!" Doofenshmirtz asked, "You're not on about that, are you?" and Ferb shook his head. "Phineas will never forgive you, and you know it!" he roared.
Bella knelt beside Taka, and shook him back from his bout of unconsciousness. "You…" he muttered, but Bella shook her head. "You have a Tri-State Area to save! I have a patch to earn!" she encouraged, and Taka leaped to his feet. "Thank you…" he started, but Bella interrupted him. "My name is Isabella, but everyone calls me Bella. A friend of my mom is called Isabella, but… HEY! We can talk later!" she said. Taka nodded, and leaped back into the fray. He lay a beat down on the Khaka crawler, and the villain panicked. "UNCLE! OK, I'll stand down today, Beak! But I'll strike the one who's most important to you!" Khaka Peü Peü stated, and left the scene. Everyone cheered, but Taka looked worried. He landed, and Bella came up to him. "Not now, little reporter. I have to regroup. I'm really worried about…" he said, and left for his home. Bella sighed. "Hey, where's Summer?" she asked.
"We can't tell Bella we're Taka, Haley! I'm worried about Mist, too. The life of a hero is lonely, but we must beat that burden!" Summer told Haley while flying home.
To be continued… … …immediately.
"Anyway, Mom, Summer is an avian superhero!" Amanda told her mother. "Another one of these? And to think Khaka Peü Peü wasn't enough… alright, Dangeraffe. Lead me to the boys. We can bust them!" Candace replied. Jeremy turned to look at Candace. "Look, Isabella probably knows about Summer and Mist. Give it a break, and help me with Xavier and Fred!" he said, and Candace nodded. "Why don't you go find Daisy, and she can hench for you?" she stated. Amanda raised an eyebrow. "You know, Jeremy, why didn't we tell Amanda about Phineas and Ferb doing stuff like this?" Candace asked, and Jeremy said, "I dunno."
Melanie the mayor's assistant walked into the room to see Mayor Doofenshmirtz, Vanessa and Ferb trapped, and Doofenshmirtz cackling in pure terror. "Anyway, Heinz, the spider being is much more of a threat. Fix it, as mayor," she said, before leaving. Doofenshmirtz couldn't respond with any evil cackle. He shrugged, and looked at the Khaka Crawler. "Grr…" he growled.
"And… done!" Summer stated, finishing Taka's lair. "Hi Summer!" Bella beamed, and Summer backed off nervously. "Bella… we're kinda busy!" he panicked, and Bella purred. "Yeah. While you're doing the carpe diem, someone is saving Danville!" she growled, holding up the paper. "I was hoping you three would get your heads out of the clouds and help me help him!" she said. Summer, Mist and Haley backed off a step, and Mist grabbed Haley's hand as a reflex. "Fine. If you won't help me… I'll do it myself!" Bella said, before turning on her heel and leaving. "By the way Haley, I grabbed your hand because I couldn't grab Summer's. Not because I like you!" Mist growled. Haley started to retort, but Summer yelled, "Not the time! If we aren't Taka for Bella, we might lose her!" Haley nodded.
Taka! He's saving the world!
Taka! He's wooing baby, Bella, baby!
Taka! He's fighting that strong fist!
Taka! His in trouble maybe!
He knows what's at stake
Bella's woes and the goal
But how can he save them
When the day's not whole?
He's Taka! The hero!
Taka!
Amanda saw Isabella, and grabbed her from behind. "Amanda, if this is a scheme to try and get Summer busted, forget it!" she cried, and Mist spotted them. "Hey you, Mist! Where's Summer?" Amanda asked. "He's going to break bread with Bella. Why did you ask?" she replied. "Oh, what about that Taka fellow? You know it's Summer! Don't embarrass me!" Amanda yelled. "Way too easy, Miss Johnson!" Isabella screeched, pulling herself from Amanda's grasp. Daisy waltzed up, saying, "I lost your bike." Amanda stared at her. "I told you to hench, woman!" she said, half-deranged.
Doofenshmirtz cried out, and summoned Melanie. "Now, unless you want me to harm Roger, you will get me the Beak's number!" he told her. She nodded, gulped, and ran off. Ferb kept a poker face, but his insides were yelling 'Oh crap!'
Amanda wandered into the waiting arms of Khaka Peü Peü. "Ah, a giraffe girl! Say, Dangeraffe, or whoever, why don't we join up to take down the Beak?" he said. Amanda looked at him, and said, "Fine. With you, I can take down Summer, and bust him to Aunt Isabella!" Khaka Peü Peü raised an eyebrow, but allowed her onto a separate cockpit to help fight 'the Beak'.
Bella rushed up to Summer and Haley. "Hey Haley! Summer. What's going on?" she asked. Summer scratched his ear, and said, "Oh, nothing." Bella sighed, and said, "I'm just not used to not knowing whatcha doin'." Khaka Peü Peü rose dramatically from the floor, and roared, "YOU! BELLA! I've got a new headline… 'Everybody's day ruined once and for all and the Beak powerless to save it!'" Bella gave the snark, "No, too wordy…"
Bella started running to City Hall. "Summer?" she asked, calling him over. "Sorry, Bella… we have to go," he replied. "Really? You are going to abandon me?" Bella almost cried. "Bella, have I ever let you down?" he asked. Bella nodded, and mentioned the four times. "Sorry… one day, you'll understand…" Summer said cryptically, and left with Haley. "Wait, Summer!" Bella cried.
Taka rushed towards the Khaka Crawler. Khaka Peü Peü gave a maniacal laugh, and said, "Oh, Beak! I have Dangeraffe! And this henchman won't leave!" Amanda stared at him, and waltzed off almost instantly. "OK? Khaka Peü Peü… prepare to be taken down!" he cawed, after a moment of 'what just happened?'
Khaka Peü Peü knocked Taka on top of City Hall, and Bella was launched off. Khaka Peü Peü also shot a billboard of Bango Ru of the building again, and taunted him. Bella wailed, but her arm was grabbed by… Summer? "Summer, where have you been? Where's Taka?" she asked. Summer pointed to Taka, saving the billboard. He then jumped off the building, and Taka flew back up. "Don't worry, Bella. The boy is safe… but he went into City Hall. Don't look down. Anyway, I have a day to save!" he told her, before confronting Khaka Peü Peü.
Khaka Peü Peü revealed that he hadn't had a good day, and Taka replied, "Oh… that's terrible!" Khaka Peü Peü asked to finish the fight, and Taka replied, "I couldn't agree more!" He removed his helm, and Summer flung his hair out of his eyes. "Summer is Taka?" Bella asked. Amanda, who was standing right behind her, said, "Congratulations, you just earned your 'Uh, Durr' Patch," in the most sarcastic tone she could muster. Bella stared at her, before walking up to Summer. Meanwhile, Khaka Peü Peü prepared one final attack… before his wife threw a chair that snapped his spine. "I'll be back… once I see a chiropractor…" he yelled, before hopping out and hurting himself more. Summer and Haley clambered out of the suit, and left for home with Bella and Mist. No none noticed three people run up to the machines and start the fight again.
"I'm sorry I never told you I was Taka… I was just trying-" Summer began, before Bella finished, "-to protect me. I know… and thanks. You were very brave" She pecked Summer on the cheek, and Mist giggled. "Nice one, Summer," she called, before walking up with him home. Haley ran up to them, and called out, "Hello, Mist! Entire lower half of a superhero here! …I guess there's no more glory in thighs today."
Carpe diem, readers of the past!
OK, so now you might be a little confused as to which child is which member of the cast. To be honest... so am I. Mist, Haley, and Bella all seem to fit under Isabella (and Ferb to a lesser degree), as of now. I'm fine with it like that. It's cool.
Anyway, what I'm really making a note section for is the relationships. Now that Summer and Bella are this story's answer to Phineas and Isabella... Mist and Haley have taken a little bit of a side note. So I'm experimenting with making Mist a Type A Tsundere... which wasn't too hard. So if Mist comes off as too rude, please note that I haven't done Type A Tsunderes before.
Anyway, now I'm rambling. Let's just end it off with a revelation you may or may not have figured out- Bella is Katie's daughter. I might not fit this in to a later story, but it's semi-relevant. Expect a delay on the next story- it's a revamped 'Summer Belongs to You', so I've got my work cut out.
