Chapter 14: Five Friends, One Team

Later on, after failing to retrieve Platform from DarkEvil LaserPants and seeing that he has Max held captive in order to get the unlock code from him, Jimmy and the Nicktoons were brought to a prison cell by two SpongeCog robots.

SpongeCog 13 pushed Darry, Timmy, SpongeTron, and Jimmy into a large dark cell that had a laser door which 13 activated once they were inside. SpongeCog 8 also put SpongeBorg, Tammy, Tommy, and Dani inside a cell next to them.

"Are you gonna be okay, Jimmy?" Timmy asked as he held onto the genius's arm.

"Maybe you should sit down." Darry suggested as he and Timmy lower Jimmy down with his back leaning against the wall.

"Don't worry about me." Jimmy with a weak smile. "I'll be fine. I'm just a little worn out."

"Well, just try and take it easy until we can find a way out of here." Timmy demanded. "The worst thing that can happen is if we lost you again."

"No…" Darry said with a worried look. "That suit can't really kill you, can it?"

"There's only a 25% chance of that." Jimmy honestly answered. "But I promise you that nothing like that will happen. Trust me, Dar."

Darry smiled and replied, "I do trust you."

"Jimmy?" SpongeTron's voice called out. "Timmy, is that you?"

Timmy turned to SpongeTron and answered, "Of course it's us. Who do you think we are?"

But SpongeTron looked confused. "That wasn't me."

All of a sudden, the lights in the cell switched on, and the four look ahead to see a square yellow sponge with blue eyes; wearing a white shirt with his collar hanging out and red tie undone, a black vest, brown pants with no belt, and long socks with black shoes. He was standing near the back wall with his hand on the light switch.

Jimmy and Timmy immediately recognize him. "SpongeBob!" Timmy yelled out in shock.

"Creator!" SpongeTron cried out in happiness as he rushed over to SpongeBob. "I'm so glad I found you!"

He hugged SpongeBob tightly as the sponge smiled and returned his hug. "Wow, SpongeTron, I didn't expect to see you here too."

SpongeTron got on one knee and bowed his head. "We were worried about you, Creator. I thought we might find you here. But I was worried about your safety."

SpongeBob giggled and pulled SpongeTron to his feet. "No need to be so worried. I may be held captive here by DarkEvil LaserPants, but I'm perfectly fine."

Then he walked over to Jimmy and Timmy with a cheerful smile and hugged them both. "I can't believe it's really you guys. You've gotten so big I hardly recognize you."

Jimmy smiled and returned his hug. "It's nice to see you too, SpongeBob. Is Danny with you?"

"Why, yes he is." SpongeBob pointed behind. "But he actually passed out over there an hour ago. I did too until I heard you guys come in."

They follow his direction to see a bed in the back of the room against the wall. Lying on top of it was Danny Fenton, facing the wall and fast asleep. He looked the same as SpongeCog did when he was disguised as him, but this was definitely the real Danny.

"Dad!" Darry cried out happily as he rushed over to Danny and began to shake him awake. "Dad, Dad, wake up! We've come to save you!"

Danny groaned and his eyelids twitch. "Just five more minutes…"

Darry just continued shaking Danny awake. "DAD, WAKE UP!"

Danny's eyes open wide as he sat up. "What?" he rubs his eyes and turns around. "SpongeBob, what's wrong?"

"Dad!" Darry hugs the half-awake Danny. "I'm so glad we finally found you!" he rubs his head against Danny's shoulder with a large smile. "You have no idea how worried I was. Mom was worried too, and so were Grandma and Grandpa."

"D-Darry?" Danny asked in shock, now fully aware of what was happening around him. "Is that really you?"

"I knew I'd find you, Dad." Darry said to him, still gripping on. "And it's all thanks to Jimmy."

"'Jimmy'?" Danny turns his head to see Jimmy, Timmy, and SpongeTron. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Then they heard a knock on the wall. "Jimmy!" Dani's voice called out from the other side. "Are you in there?"

"Danielle?" Danny quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of the wall connected to the other cell. "You're here too?"

"Danny!" Dani's voice shouted in relief. "You're here! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Danny shouted back to her. "In fact, I'm better than I have been these past few days!"

SpongeBob walked over to him and got his attention. "Danny, can you believe that they're here."

"No," Danny answered with a smile. "I definitely can't."

Timmy sighed and crossed his arms. "So this is where you two have been all this time. Do you know what we've been through?"

"Sorry, Timmy," Danny said with a chuckle, "Didn't mean to make our reunion such a hassle." Then he noticed Jimmy sitting on the ground. "Jimmy, you got taller."

"Thanks for actually noticing." Jimmy replied with a smile.

"This stinks!" Tommy shouted from the other cell. "You guys get Danny and SpongeBob for cellmates and all we get is Plankton!"

He was right, and on top of the bed in their cell, Plankton was sitting on top. "Hey!" he shouted. "I didn't invite you brats to come in!"

"Oh yeah," Danny said with a sigh. "We've had the pleasure of his company this whole time."

"Plankton?" Jimmy asked as he tried to sit up, but was still weakened by the suit, so he had to crawl over to the wall."

"Still playing with dangerous toys, Neutron?" Danny asked as he stared.

"Old habits die hard." Jimmy grunted as he made it to the wall, and started knocking on it. "Plankton, can you hear me?"

SpongeTron rushed over to the wall. "Here, let me handle it." His finger suddenly sparked a laser from the tip and he used it to weld a tiny hole in the wall that connected to the other cell. "That should help."

Jimmy peeked through the hole and spotted Plankton in the other cell with Tommy, Tammy, Dani, and SpongeBorg. "Oh goody…" Plankton said in a sarcastic tone after hearing Jimmy's voice. "The rest of you brats are here, as if SpongeBob and the ghost brat weren't enough."

"But what are you doing in here?" Tammy asked him.

"And what happened to the Chum Bucket?" Tommy asked also.

"Oh, believe me when I say 'I have nothing to do with this'." Plankton began explaining. "I was just minding my own business, plotting my next move when all of a sudden, DarkEvil LaserPants showed up with four robots and inserted something called a 'demo chip' into Karen's hard drive. After that, this whole place changed. I myself kinda like it, but I haven't heard from Karen since and he locked me down here while he does Neptune knows what up there."

"Demo chip?" Jimmy questioned after the explanation.

But SpongeBorg quickly rushed to the hole and began beeping franticly which no one understood why- except SpongeTron who listened carefully to him. "You don't say." The older robot repeated.

"What?" Darry asked anxiously. "What?"

"SpongeBorg says that the demo chip Plankton is talking about is actually a fraction of Platform's technology." SpongeTron explained. "Max's dad created it in order to test the machine's power. But while the chip can do this much, it's not nearly as powerful as Platform."

"So that's what the whole 'Platform' thing DarkEvil was talking about before is." Danny realized.

"If this is what a demo chip can do," Timmy thought out loud. "Then imagine what the actual machine can do."

"Alright, that's it!" Darry shouted as he sat up from the bed. "I'm getting us out of here!"

Darry took a few steps back and began running toward the laser field door. Danny immediately stood up and shouted, "Darry, wait! Don't-"

However, Darry had already turned intangible and attempted to phase through the door, only for it to painfully shock him as he screamed. He fell onto the ground and changed back into human form as he squirmed around.

"Darry!" SpongeTron shouted out as he rushed over to him.

Danny looked dumfounded as he sat back down on the bed. But SpongeBob commented, "I wouldn't worry. Danny tried the same thing when he got here, so he'll be alright."

"Okay guys," Dani called out to them. "If we're not going ghost out of here, what are we supposed to do?"

SpongeBorg beeped to them through the hole while SpongeTron listened to him. "Yeah…you're right."

"Right about what?" Darry asked as he sat on the ground, recovered.

"SpongeBorg's worried about Max." SpongeTron explained. "He's probably being tortured by DarkEvil to get that code."

"Who's Max?" SpongeBob asked.

"My son." Jimmy answered without a second thought.

SpongeBob's eyes widen with a look of astonishment. "Ooooh."

Then Danny suddenly asked, "This Max wouldn't be short, blonde, and loud, would he?"

"Yeah?" Timmy answered with a look of surprise.

"How do you know, Dad?" Darry asked.

"Before I ended up here, I kinda had a run in with him." Danny began to explain with a look of thought. "It was when those robots suddenly invaded. I was fighting that vicious feral one, and he suddenly began to attack that blonde kid. I managed to protect him and fight that robot off. But somehow…I knew it wasn't me who delivered that final blow to it.

"When I talked to the kid to make sure he was alright. He asked if I was "Scottie's dad". I don't even know who Scottie is. But anyway, I offered to help him find his parents. But he just yelled that he didn't need my help with anything. Then he screamed and ran away- and I found out at what until it was too late. A giant hulking robot snuck up behind me and knocked me out. Next thing I knew, I'm here."

After Danny finished, Jimmy pondered over this while Darry sighed, "I guess Max doesn't appreciate anyone's help."

"Hang on a second." Jimmy spoke out. "Don't you remember the last time we helped Max? Something…strange happened with him."

SpongeBob raised an eyebrow. "What can be so strange about one little boy?"

Then they hear SpongeBorg beeping frantically on the other side of the wall as he pounded his claw on the metal surface. SpongeTron listened to him and began to translate for the others.

"He says that Max is special." The robot explained. "There's something Max has because of his incredibly high intellect that no other genius can do, but he's so scared about it that he doesn't share it with anyone. And since he has trouble controlling it, he's afraid that all he would do is end up hurting everyone and that they would hate him."

Timmy realized, "So Max IS hiding something." He pointed out. "And that something is whatever he did before."

"You don't think that something is actually…" Darry said as his eyes widen. "Psychic, right?"

Jimmy narrowed his eyes in determination. "We have to get out of here, but how?" he wondered as he now easily stood up. "I still don't have enough power yet to open the door."

But then they see a silhouette of a tall person standing on the other side of the door, and silently watch as the figure stands there. "Jimmy?" Dani's voice called out. "Is everything okay there?"

Jimmy didn't respond and instead raised his fists in order to defend himself. Danny held Darry back as white rings appeared around his waist, changing him into ghost form, which looked the same as before except for physical changes. He glared and prepared to help his friend fight.

Suddenly, the laser force field door disappeared, the person who stepped into view was not who they expected. It was a young man with dark skin, purple face paint over his eyes, long messy brown hair that went to his shoulders, a yellow feather on top of his head, a purple cape, raggedy brown loincloth, and brown fur on his lower legs with bear paws stretched over his feet.

Timmy immediately recognized him. "Tak…is that you?"

In fact it was Tak at age eighteen. "It's about time I found you guys." He said with a chuckle as he leaned against the wall. "Of course, I couldn't have done it without this little guy." He held out his hand which Poof was sitting on.

"Poof find, Poof find!" Poof squealed in delight and floated into Timmy's arms, and then to his parents.

The group quickly exited the cell, and Jimmy ran over to the other cell to let out Dani, Tammy, Tommy, and SpongeBorg. After which, Danielle immediately ran over to Danny and hugged him, thankful he was alright. Darry and Tommy ran up the stairs to scout ahead.

Timmy glared at Tak and angrily asked, "Where have you been all this time? We thought something bad happened to you too."

"Something bad did happen to me- sorta." Tak sheepishly answered. "This robot attacked my village trying to find a target- whatever that is. Then when we finally chased it out, my Recaller suddenly activated, so I left to try and find out what was going on. I was hoping I would run into you guys at one point, and here we are!" then he glanced at the teen genius. "Jimmy, did you get-"

"Taller?" Jimmy finished, sounding annoyed. "Yes, I did."

"Well, now that we're all reacquainted, how about we go upstairs and stop DarkEvil?" Danny suggested. "I mean we are the Nicktoons, aren't we?"

"The Nicktoons!" SpongeBob shouted in excitement. "All right! We're back!"

"Don't get your hopes too high, guys." Timmy warned jokingly. "Neutron doesn't wanna be a Nicktoon anymore after this."

"What?" SpongeBob, Danny, and Tak both asked in surprise.

"No, no, it's not that." Jimmy feebly assured. "If I recall, the reason we ended it was-"

Before he could finish, Darry and Tommy came back from upstairs. "No one's guarding up ahead." Darry told everyone.

"We can go save Max if we hurry." Tommy added.

"Alright everyone," Jimmy said with a nod. "Let's discuss our associations later. Right now, let's unite to save my future son from that mad sea sponge who intends to use a powerful machine to take over the world."

Timmy, Danny, SpongeBob, and Tak soon smile afterwards and nod. Followed by Darry, Tammy, Tommy, and SpongeTron, who all smile and giggle.

As the group followed Darry and Tommy upstairs, from inside the cell, Plankton called, "Hey wait…I'm still stuck in here!"

Danny, SpongeBob, and Tak! WHOO-HOO!" Time to rescue Max and stop the evil villain from the future. How long do you think do you think it'll be till something happens? Please review what you think?
