Chapter 3: The Incredible Bot Attack
A portal opened up in an empty street, out of it stepped Jimmy and Timmy. After Jimmy had reset his Neutronic Recallers to allow them to travel to other worlds again, they went to Amity Park as the first stop to re-recruiting their fellow Nicktoons for a new mission.
"Here we are at Amity Park." Timmy announced as he glanced around. "It doesn't look that different from what I remember."
"Well, we're not here to sight-see." Jimmy pointed out as he began to walk forward. "We just need to find Danny and explain the circumstances of what's going on and that we need him."
"Yeah, yeah," Timmy said with a bored expression as he followed. "Stop a bunch of robots from taking over Retroville. We can handle something like that."
"You haven't changed at all these past few years, have you?" Jimmy said as he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Timmy asked with a glare.
But then, when they finally reached Fenton Works, they gasped in shock to police cars everywhere in front of the building.
"You think something's wrong?" Timmy asked nervously.
"Only one way to find out?" Jimmy replied as he rushed past the blockade and ran up the steps to the front door.
"Danny?" Jimmy called out once he got inside Fenton Works with Timmy following him. "Danny!"
"Yes?" a girl's voice responded.
The two boys turn to see it was not Danny, but a sixteen-year-old girl with long black spiky hair tied in a long ponytail reaching down to her waist, blue eyes; wearing a blue camisole with a hood, a red bandanna, purple bellbottom pants, and red slip on shoes.
"You're not Danny." Timmy pointed out.
But Jimmy stopped him as he raised an eyebrow, still staring at the girl. "Wait a minute…Danielle?"
Danielle gasped in shock. "Jimmy? Timmy?" then she smiled, covering her mouth as if she were about to cry. "Is that really you?"
"That's right, Dani." Jimmy nodded with a smile. "We-"
But he was interrupted when Dani rushed over and gave him a really tight hug much to his surprise.
"I can't believe it's really you!" Dani shouted in joy as she hugged him. "It's been so long, how have you been?"
Jimmy continued to stand in shock as he began to blush while slowly returning her embrace. "Uh, I…I mean…"
Timmy narrowed his eyes dully as he said, "I can see you haven't changed at all these past few years either."
Finally, Dani let go of the genius and his hands as she looked up at him since he stood taller than her now. "Well, I think you have changed, Jimmy. By the way, did you get taller?"
Jimmy looked away with a nervous chuckle and smile. "Heh, heh, yeah…I'm pretty tall now."
Then Timmy pulled the two apart and began to ask, "Okay, enough of that. Listen, Danielle, we're looking for Danny. This is important."
"Oh…" Dani suddenly got a sad expression as she looked away. "Well, the thing is…"
But before she could explain, a voice shouted from another room. "Hey, what's going on out there?" They all turn their heads to see Jack Fenton walking out of the kitchen. "Is he back?"
But then his eyes widen to see the three teens in the room, staring at him. Jack narrowed his eyes and sternly said, "Alright, missy, you know this is not the time to be having friends over."
"Mr. Fenton, don't you remember us?" Timmy asked.
"We're Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner." Jimmy explained, pointing at himself and Timmy.
Jack stared in uncertainty until his eyes widen in remembrance. "Wait a minute…I remember you two." He smiled. "You were just little tykes the last time I saw you."
Jimmy and Timmy both chuckle at this along with Dani. "Jimmy, right?" Jack asked as he pointed at the genius. "Did you get taller?"
"Affirmative." Jimmy answered with a nod.
"Hello?" a female voice said out loud as they hear the front door close. An eighteen-year-old girl with black hair, violet eyes and lipstick came into the living room.
"No way!" Timmy said in shock. "Sam, is that you?"
It was in fact Sam Manson, whose black hair was longer and went past her shoulders; wearing a purple shirt with fishnet sleeves on her upper arms connected to purple fabric covering her forearms, a black skirt with a slit that went to her knees, long black boots, and still had her class ring on her finger.
Her eyes widen in shock as she sees the boys, but then she smiled. "Jimmy! Timmy!" then she ran over and hugged Timmy. "I had no idea you both were coming."
Jimmy added with a smile, "Believe me, I had no idea either."
Sam let go of Timmy and smiled at the genius. "Jimmy, it's great to see you. Did you get taller?"
"I've heard." Jimmy answered with a smile and shrug.
"Hey Sam," Timmy begun asking, "Do you know where Danny is?"
Then Sam suddenly had a look of sadness. "Actually…I was hoping to get that answer once I got there." She mentioned.
"What's going on?" Jimmy asked, looking surprised. "Where's Danny?"
"That's the thing." Dani answered, sad also. "We don't know."
Then Jack began to explain, "Earlier this morning, these strange robots suddenly appeared and started making a mess of things. Danny went out to try and stop them and find out what they're up to. But afterwards, he suddenly disappeared along with those robots. He hasn't been seen since so we called the police, and they and Maddie are out looking for him."
"Can you describe what the robots looked like, Jack?" Jimmy asked.
"Well, let's see…" Jack said as he gained a pondering look as he tried to remember. "There were actually three of them. One was big and wide, one was really tall, and another was vicious with sharp teeth."
"I don't believe it." Jimmy said with a look of shock. "Those can't be the same robots."
"You mean the ones that are attacking Retroville?" Timmy asked.
"That's right. But how would they be here? They would have to have the same technology we use to travel to other dimensions."
But then, they suddenly hear a loud crash come from outside. "What was that?" Sam wondered.
"Sam, you and Jack stay here." Jimmy ordered as he and Timmy began to run outside. "Timmy and I will check it out!"
"I'll come with you!" Dani shouted as she followed.
"Be careful!" Sam called after them.
After this, Jack walked back into the kitchen. "You know, I never did figure out when he started calling me 'Jack'." He said to himself with a confused look.
The three teenagers ran out the front door, but to their shock they saw a large square-shaped robot with large muscular arms, and a light bulb on top of his head. The robot was slowly walking across the street and picking up the police cars and glancing at the ground. But upon not finding whatever he was looking for, he simply tossed the car far away, not minding the destruction he was causing to it.
"13 find Target." The robot said in a gruff and rather dim voice. "Find Target and bring to Master."
As they watch the robot stomp around, Dani had a look of astonishment as she asked, "Is this guy for real?"
"I don't know, but it's just like the robot I faced." Jimmy pointed out. "It's looking for something. I don't know what, but it won't stop until it finds whatever that thing is."
"Well, we can't let that happen." Timmy said in determination.
"You got that right." Dani agreed as a ring of light appeared around her waist, and it went around her body, changing her into ghost form. She still had the same white hair, glowing green eyes, and wore the exact same suit that seemed to adjust to her growth and physical appearance.
The star flinger appeared in Timmy's hands with a 'poof' and he looked at Jimmy with a smirk. "Aren't you gonna say it?"
But Jimmy got an annoyed look. "Timmy, now's not the time…"
"Come on, Jimmy." Timmy begged. "You have to say it."
"Oh, alright." Jimmy finally said as he cleared his throat. "Nicktoons…Unite!"
Then Timmy chuckled as he jumped off the front steps and ran into battle followed by Dani Phantom. But she stopped next to Jimmy and playfully elbowed him. "You still got it." She said before running ahead.
Jimmy chuckled embarrassingly and said, "Yeah…"
When the robot turned over another police car, Timmy began to approach him from behind. "Hey, you big stupid robot!" he shouted getting the robot's attention. "Stop right there before we have to kick your butt!"
The robot just stood there and stared at him until he said, "You not Target. Must destroy human."
He then pounded on the ground, making a crack in the pavement that went all the way to Timmy. The teen gasped until Dani flew him out of the way before a large hole appeared in front of him.
Jimmy ran up to the two and warned. "Be careful, guys. If he's anything like the robot I faced, he's extremely dangerous so don't underestimate him."
"Underestimate that thing?" Dani asked nervously. "Don't you worry."
The robot then ran toward them with his fist held in the air, about to punch them with his giant fist. "Look out!" Jimmy warned as he and the other two dodge the attack.
Jimmy rolled on the ground and took a small device out of his pocket. He pushed a button and a beamsword appeared out of it. Dani fired ecto-beams at the robot as he flinched, but otherwise didn't seem effected by the attack.
The robot growled at her and pulled a streetlight out of the sidewalk as he began walking toward Dani. Jimmy ran in front of him and held his beamsword toward the robot. The robot swung the streetlight, but the genius swung his beamsword at it, cutting it in half and leaving the robot confused.
"Who sent you?" Jimmy demanded to know. "What are you looking for?"
The unintelligent robot tossed the piece of streetlight away, and answered with an angry glare. "Find Target and bring to Master. Destroy humans who get in the way."
But then, Timmy suddenly came over and knocked the robot away with his giant green hammer, sending him into the wall of a building.
"Nice work, Timmy." Jimmy congratulated.
"Thanks." Timmy said with a grin as he held the hammer over his shoulder. "It was too easy."
But then, the robot pulled his arms out of the wall and stepped back onto the sidewalk, growling angrily. "Oh man," Dani groaned. "There's no stopping this guy."
But suddenly, a blue figure dropped from the top of the building and landed between them and the robot. Jimmy's eyes widened as he recognized it as the mysterious figure in the blue robe he saw back in Retroville.
"What are you doing?" Dani frantically asked. "Get back! It's dangerous!"
But the mysterious figure stood there silently, not even acknowledging them. The robot then charged at the figure with his arms held out, roaring angrily. Then to the three's surprise, an extra pair of arms came out of his robe, except they were thin mechanical arms with pincer-like hands. They placed themselves on the ground and lifted the figure off the ground as the figure used his sleeve-covered arms to throw small device on the ground by the robot that let out a wave of electricity, shocking the robot.
"How'd he do that?" Timmy wondered as he stared in awe.
Once it stopped, the robot got up with an exhausted look and said, "Feel so weak. Must go…"
Then he punched a nearby car with his large fist, causing it to explode which engulfed the four. When the flames and smoke died down, it turned out Dani had grabbed a hold of Jimmy and Timmy and turned them intangible to protect them from the deadly explosion. Once it was safe, Dani turned them solid, and Jimmy ran over and looked around to see that the robot escaped during the blast.
He turned his attention back to the mysterious figure, who also somehow survived the explosion, and see him use one of his robotic hands to turn the handle of a fire hydrant and shoot water at the flames from the car.
"Hey, you!" Jimmy called as he approached him. "We appreciate the help, but who are you?"
Instead of answering, the figure turned his head toward Jimmy and glared from under his hood. Then he used his robotic hand to grab Jimmy by his wrist and toss him away onto the ground.
"Jimmy!" Timmy and Dani shouted as they ran up to see if he was okay.
The mysterious figure then quickly ran away, unknowingly dropping an item from under his robe. Jimmy groaned in pain as he sat up, and he opened his eyes to see the mysterious figure was gone.
"I wonder what was up with that guy." Timmy said as he helped Jimmy stand.
"Should we try to find him?" Dani asked.
Jimmy then looked ahead to see what the figure left behind, and then ran over and picked up. It was a small beige book with a blank cover.
Another robot beaten, but who's the strange figure that dropped the book. Will it hold the key to figuring out this mystery? Please review what you think so far, and wait for the next chapter.
