Lacy: Hi everyone, we're back.

Ramona: Plus, Bearvalley, I know that the sleeping gas isn't going to kill Jake, I freaked out last chapter because SOMEBODY over here *Glares at Lacy* decided to make his sickness get worse after he and his friends get hit by the gas.

Lacy: Well, you at least think some of the chemicals in the gas would make his sickness get worse. Anyways, let's start. Plus, about the 'Sonic-Coming-into-the-Story' issue, I'm sorry to say, but, sadly, Sonic will not appear in this story.

DISCLAIMER (Do I really have to put this here): NO ONE OWNS ANYTHING!

At the Eggman Fortress, Eggman and Hook's crew had gotten back from tricking Jake and getting the positive energy from the Forever Tree, Eggman was laughing with triumph as he hold the container of positive energy. He knew that he can now turn the positive energy into negative energy. Cause of this, the conquest of Neverland was about to begin.

Hook was a bit excited for himself, he knew that he shall rule half of Neverland. But Mr. Smee was still a little concerned about all this.

"Finally! We've got enough Positive Energy to work this machine. Once I insert this container & dump all the Positive Energy inside, our plans of total Neverland conquest shall begin." Eggman said, then he went ahead and put the container into the machine's slot and watched as the positive energy went into the fluid tanks.

But, the screen showed that the machine needed one hour to completely turn the positive energy into negative energy. Hook was shock when he saw this and he also looked annoyed seeing as he wasn't the patient type.

Eggman saw the look on Hook's face and teasingly said "Well! Someone doesn't want to be the patient type."

"It's true, I'm not usually a patient person. But, why does the machine need on hour to turn the positive energy into negative energy!" Hook exclaimed.

"Energy isn't something you should play around with." Eggman explained. Cause there are some energies that can prove very deadly if used wrong, So I set this machine to carefully transfer all the Positive Energy into Negative Energy for exactly one hour. Besides, if we rushed it. It probably wouldn't end well for all of us." Everyone winced when they heard this.

"So for now, we'll just have to find something to do until one hour is up." Hook said.

"Exactly! There's no point of trying to rush this, unless you want to be a dead Captain." Eggman replied.

"True. So what should we do while we wait?" Hook asked.

"Let's talk on that!" Eggman answered, and so they did. Everyone decided what to do to pass the time, Eggman and Hook would discuss about the things they were going to do while taking over Neverland, Sharky, Bones, Decoe, and Bocoe were trying to come up with some songs, and Mr. Smee decided to follow Hook and Eggman.

Exactly eight minutes before the machine could do it's job. Back at the entrance to the Forever Tree grotto (A/N: That's what I'm calling it now.) Jake, Izzy, and Cubby had just woken up.

"Ugh. What just happen?" Cubby said.

"I don't know." Izzy said. Jake was confused as well, but then they saw the secret door to the grotto open and remember what happen, especially Jake.

Jake remembered what he saw before he passed out.

~~Flashback :)~~

'But before Jake could fully fall asleep he saw Hook walking up and standing right next to Eggman! Jake mentally cursed himself, cause he realized what was up with the animals today, he realized they were trying to warn him and his crew!

'Darn it!' He thought. 'If I had just knew the animals were trying to warn us! If I just knew Eggman was evil! And I just led him to the Forever Tree! The source of Neverland and it's magic! Why, why was I such a fool for believing him? Peter, Tinkerbell, Izzy, Cubby, everyone please forgive me!' And with that he fell into a slumber.'

~~Flashback over~~

Once Jake remembered that he started to feel bad for himself and everyone who lived in Neverland. Cause it was a trick, and he (And his crew) completely fell for it!

'Why! Why did I lead him to it! Why did I lead Eggman to the Forever Tree! Just why!' He thought. 'I probably just cause devastation to everyone, I'm sorry.'

Izzy and Cubby didn't see Eggman with Hook, but right now all they saw was Jake looking like he was going to cry. Which would surprise them seeing as he was calm, cheerful, and brave. To see him cry would... Well... Let's just say they would find it unnatural for him. (A/N: Have you've seen the show? He is so calm, even I would be surprised if he started to cry.)

Anyways, when they saw that look on his face. They went up to him and asked "Jake, what's the matter?"

At this Jake decided to answer and explain what happen.

"We've been tricked!" He started. "Dr. Eggman had teamed up with Hook the whole time! Eggman probably lied to us about 'Helping the others in the Mainland' as well. He tricked us to lead him here. He tricked me to open the door to the Forever Tree. And then he knocked us out with some kind of sleeping gas, which was the thing he tossed at us! They probably must've done something to the tree as well!" He finish.

Then Jake started to cry, Izzy and Cubby were shocked to hear that they've been tricked. They then remember that Jake was used as the main 'Guinea Pig' in the trickery, they started to feel bad. They went up to him and wrap their arms around him in a hug.

Jake was starting to cry harder when he felt Izzy and Cubby hug and started to comfort him saying words like "It'll be alright." or "Don't worry, we'll stop them." or whatever mushy stuff you think they're saying. Anyway, Jake was now starting to calm down, but at that moment he started to have a coughing fit and remembered what that gas did to his sickness. ...It mad his sickness get worse, worse than before.

Izzy and Cubby were shock to see Jake have a coughing fit, which Jake hated having. (A/N: I know how he feels, trust me, one time when I was sick, I had a coughing fit and couldn't stop coughing so my dad ..Blah blah...) When Jake stopped, Izzy put her hand up to Jake's forehead. Warm. Too warm. Way too warm.

Cubby felt Jake's forehead as well and both were shocked to see Jake's sickness get worse than before. Wasn't he taking it easy, wasn't he? They both know he was. Then that's when it clicked. The gas! The chemicals in the gas must've made his sickness get worse!

Anyways, after having another cuddly moment. (A/N: Just think of a cuddly moment) They knew what they had to do. They had to go over to Eggman's fortress and stop the two evil-doers.

And off they went. Izzy and Cubby walk right next to Jake on both sides in case he fainted due to his sickness. And Jake was noticing he was wobbly while he was walking and was feeling weak, but he press forward and tried (And failed) to hide it.

Back at the Eggman Fortress, one hour had passed and the machine was ready to go. Eggman saw that the positive energy had completely turned into negative energy, he smiled maniacally, and pressed a couple of buttons.

This caused the Negative Land Swapper to rise up through a open hatch at the top of the fortress. Once it was outside, Eggman than tells Hook this.

"Watch and be amazed Captain Hook, your about to witness the full power of my Negative Land Swapper in action." As he said this, Eggman pushed the button that said 'FIRE' and in moments, the Negative Land Swapper started shooting some kind of energy wave.

The energy wave had covered every last inch of Neverland. Every island that had entered the energy wave came out filled with factories and oil tanks! (A/N: EW! GROSS!) Pretty soon, the energy wave had vanished, every last inch of Neverland was covered in factories, oil tanks, smog and pollution as far as the eye can see. (A/N: Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Now you see why Disney Channel and Nickelodeon has those 'Save the planet' things?)

Hook's crew saw this and were shocked at the result of the machine, Hook didn't think it would hold that much power.

Back with Jake's crew, Jake, Izzy, and Cubby were heading towards the Eggman Fortress when the changes to Neverland started to happen. They were half-way there when suddenly they saw the energy wave.

"What's that?" Cubby asked, confused and scared of the energy wave.

"I don't know." Izzy answered.

Jake just shrugged and held his head as his sickness was getting to him. Then he saw the very top of the Eggman Fortress (A/N: I'm pretty sure it's tall enough for you to see it half-way there.) and noticed some machine (The Negative Land Swapper) emitting the wave.

"Look! I can see Eggman's fortress from here and there's some kind of machine emitting that!" Jake shouted as he pointed towards the fortress. Izzy and Cubby looked were Jake was pointing and saw the machine.

"Does this mean we're too late?!" Cubby exclaimed, now really scared.

"Probably... Yeah, I think so." Izzy said, a sad tone in her voice.

This just made Jake looked down and feel guilty for letting Eggman near the Forever Tree and felt like he just betrayed everyone he cared about. That was when the change in the area they were in happen.

They noticed the wave went over them and that once it went over the area they were in, the place turned from beautiful greenery and nature into horrible, ugly, disgusting, gross (Ramona: Okay Lacy, they get it, befriend and protect nature, don't destroy it. =_= Lacy: Sorry.) factories, oil tanks, smog, and pollution.

Jake's crew was shocked to see the change. No, they weren't shocked, they were horrified!

"Why... Why would they do this?!" Izzy said in disbelief.

"This is horrible!" Cubby also said.

When Jake saw this and heard them, he just put his face into his hands, mumbles things like "Oh my god.", "This is all my fault!", and/or "I'm so sorry.".

When Izzy and Cubby heard him, they could tell he was about to start crying again. (A/N: Dear Lord, I making Jake have WAY too much drama, I gotta stop. But that might hurt the story, so I'm gonna keep it up. Ramona: He's not a teenager like you, you know. A/N: I know! Shut up!)

So they then went up to him and started to comfort him again.

Anyways, back at the fortress Eggman, his lackeys, and Hook crew were celebrating that the machine worked.

"It worked, IT REALLY WORKED! The machine worked just how I dreamed it would." Eggman said.

"This is the happiest day of my life." Decoe said as well.

"Mine too!" Bocoe also said.

"Our's too" Smee, Sharky, and Bones said.

As for Hook, he felt a reason to celebrate as well, a different reason that is.

"Now we both get to rule over our half of Neverland!" He said, happily. Once Eggman heard that, he said this.

"Oh yeah! Well... about that?"

"Yes..." Hook said.

At that moment, Eggman had snapped his fingers and four robots suddenly came in and grabbed Hook's crew! They were shocked

"Fellow Robots! Take Captain Hook and his crew to the brig." Eggman ordered. Now they were even more shocked.

"Eggman! I thought we had a deal, we both rule Neverland 50/50, explain your treachery!" Hook shouted, angrily.

"Well hears the thing Hook," Eggman started to explain. "I actually didn't want to rule only fifty percent of it. I WANTED TO RULE ALL OF IT! And besides, you couldn't even beat a bunch of simple kids to get a pirate sword before. Which is just plain embarrassing! So as of this moment, consider yourself & your crew my prisoners."

The robots then carried Hook and his crew to the brig. Hook was very angry that he was both tricked and double-crossed. Once they were gone, Eggman turned to Decoe and Bocoe.

"Well, now that their out of the way. I think it's time to fully take over this land and begin our operations. Get the robots oiled up and send them down to the docking station right away, it's invasion time." Eggman ordered.

"Roger!" Decoe and Bocoe replied then they left.

Back with Jake's crew, they noticed that the robots from before were now flying out and about, and the three decided to hide, knowing the robots were probably, and most likely were, up to know good.

Once the robots passed that's when Jake spoke up.

"I don't think it's best we stay here, so we better get back to Pirate Island." He said, Izzy and Cubby nodded in agreement. So they left and were praying and hoping they wouldn't get noticed by the robots or anything or anyone that had to do with Eggman and/or Hook.

It was a little difficult due to the sudden change of Neverland with the factories, oil tanks, smog, and the pollution and all. Plus, Jake was starting to get really sick. (The factories, oil tanks, smog, and the pollution wasn't helping AT ALL! It was just making it worse.)

Once they found Bucky, they boarded him and made their way back to Pirate Island, luckily undetected.

Once they were on Pirate Island, Jake's crew went into their hideout, they were glad and lucky that their hideout was... Well... Hidden in... Well... The whole island. Yes, you heard me correctly, their hideout was hidden within the entire island.

Anyways, once they were inside, they started to wonder what they were going to do now with all the sudden changes to Neverland.

"Now what? Does Eggman have complete control over Neverland?" Cubby said.

"Yes, I think so, Cubby." Izzy said.

"Then what's going to happen to Neverland?" Cubby then asked.

"Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see." Izzy said. (A/N: Ugh. Talk about being cryptic. =.=)

"Yeah, I'm not so sure either." Jake then said. "Like Izzy said, we'll just have to wait and-AGH!" Jake sickness started to get worse, thus his screaming that interrupted him, his scream also caused Izzy and Cubby to look at him with wide eyes in alarm.

Jake fell to his knees. (Which made Izzy and Cubby think he was going to throw up again) He would've fell to the floor if his crew hadn't catch him in time. Jake was starting to have another coughing fit. After a few seconds he stopped. Izzy and Cubby felt his temperature and widened their eyes in worry as they noticed his fever was getting hotter!

"I better go lie down." Jake said, Izzy and Cubby nodded and helped him get into bed. Afterwards, Izzy and Cubby both started wondering what they were gonna do now.

Back at the fortress, Eggman was getting ready for his visual appearance.

"Okay boys, honest opinion. Do I look okay for my appearance?" Eggman asked.

"You look fine to me." Bocoe answered.

"Oh good! Cause from what I hear, TV can make it look as if you gained a few extra pounds." Eggman said.

"There's always the possibility of that Doctor." Decoe also said.

"Your not helping!" Eggman told the robot.

A robot then appeared in the room to inform Eggman of something.

"All visual screens are now up sir. You may now proceed with your appearance." the robot said.

"Excellent! Time for everyone to know that the Eggman Empire has begun." Eggman said with a smirk, then he prepared to make his presence known. He and the robots then make their way to the cameras. Once Decoe and Bocoe turned the cameras on, they gave Eggman the 'OK' signal. Then...

Lacy: BOO! Haha! That's right! We're leaving you at another cliffhanger! Bet you're getting frustrated at us for doing this. Plus, you also probably noticed a lack of words in the parts that had to do with Eggman and/or Hook, but alot of words in the part that had to do with Jake's crew. That's because for some strange reason that I do not know of, I'm sucking at writing down the bad guy(s) yet when it comes to Jake's crew, I'm great at it.

Ramona: Wow, you're right, that is strange.

Lacy: *Ignores Ramona* Why am I sucking, I don't know. Seriously, WHY AM I SUCKING? TT_TT
