Ferb's pov
"This is the only time I'm going to say this." I said. "I need your help." The bully looked at me in frustration.
"What would make you think I would ever help you?" Buford said. I blinked on the outside. On the inside I was screaming AARRGGGGGGG! This twerp was getting on my last nerve.
"Look, I just need your help getting Phineas back." I said. "You think like a villain, so I thought you could help." Buford snorted.
"I find it interesting that it is now that you come to me for assistance." Buford said. I don't know what it is about Buford, but whenever you need his help, he gets all sophisticated. And it doesn't do anything but make you even madder. I heard someone coming up behind us. Then Vanessa was holding Buford up by his shirt.
"If you don't help us save Phineas I will put you in a dimensional rip." She said. "Called the dimension of the dead." Buford gulped tried to squirm out of her grasp.
"Okay, okay, I'll help! Just don't rip this shirt, it's my good one."
Candace's pov
"What are you doing?" I asked my brother and the other kids. They looked at me with expressions so innocent they could've been angels. But I've had experience with stuff like this. "Where is Phineas?" I asked.
"Where do you think?" Suzy asked in her innocent voice. "Waiting for Isabella at the Eiffel tower, duh." I raised an eyebrow, still not believing Suzy.
"Don't worry, I have it under control." Vanessa said. I bought it. Seriously, how much trouble can a couple of kids get into in 5 minutes? Apparently I underestimated my brothers again.
Phineas' pov
I felt the ship shudder. And I heard Ferb's voice. Are you okay? I rolled my eyes and didn't answer his question.
Sure took you long enough. I'm starting to worry about my circulation. I thought back.
Sorry, we had a problem convincing Buford to help. We had to think like villains. I smirked.
Hurry up and get me out of here. Do I have to breathe the poisonous fumes of Carter's presence forever? I asked. It had been a really long afternoon. I felt the ship shudder again and saw the deadly fingers of the dimension's atmosphere leaking in through the hull of the ship. Then again, breathing Carter's fumes might be preferable to breathing the fumes of a dimension built to kill humans, shadows, and everything in between. Crap. This was not going to end well.
Sammy's pov
I looked over at Elina and Beka. They looked at me. We could all feel the dimension's deadly gaseous fumes sneaking into the ship. I struggled against the ropes, but nothing was happening.
"Do you want some help with that?" My sister asked. I looked up at her.
"How did you get free?"
"Um, the hull is broken, so the power neutralizer doesn't work anymore." She coughed as she untied us. Pretty soon we were all coughing, and blacking out. Isn't being a spy fun?
Phineas' pov
I grabbed onto my friends. For some reason, the fumes had less effect on me. As in almost no effect. I coughed and pulled them out of the cargo bay. Carter and Camille were hunched over in their seats.
"Phineas? How are you doing that?" Sammy asked. I shrugged.
"No time, we need to get out of here now." I said. Elina and Beka nodded.
"No problem." Beka said. "We could – whoa." The instant she let go of my arm she staggered and almost fell. She hung onto me again, surprised. "Maybe we should hang onto you for awhile." She said.
"Good idea." Elina said. I looked at them.
"The others are out there. To get to them we have to jump out of the ship." I said.
"Great idea." Elina said.
"Just trust me." I said. They did. We jumped. And the world went black.
