It had all started like any other year. Linda and Lawrence were heading off to Europe on an anniversary week-long vacation, leaving Candace in charge of things. Everyone was not only busy helping out with making sure everything was needed, but also with saying their good-byes and giving out their hugs. Finally the couple had taken off with their kids waving them off from the porch.
"Bye Mom!", Candace called out.
"See ya!", Phineas said.
"Bye!"
The group waited a bit as they watched the car drive on. It finally turned a corner and...
"Welp, I'm off then!", Phineas said as he started to get off the porch.
"Hang on a minute!", Candace said, causing him to halt. "Where do you think you're going?"
Phineas turned back with a shrug and pointed out to the city, "Dr. D's. It's been a couple of weeks since the inventing competition."
"Oh really?", Candace said with a raised eyebrow. "And just how to you plan on getting there?"
Phineas gave a jump, stomped his feet on the ground, and began to rise up into the air as rockets blasted out from underneath him.
"The rocket shoes Ferb and I built yesterday.", he said with a smile.
Candace gave an annoyed glare at him for a moment before smiling and waving him off as well.
"Okay then! Be back for dinner, kay?"
"Kay. You got my number this time?", Phineas teased.
Candace held up her cellphone with a smile and a slight roll of her eyes, "Yes, yes I do."
"Later! Ferb, you wanna come?"
Ferb declined, saying he'd only get in the way and assured he'd relay to everyone else who came by inquiring of him. Phineas began to go off, but was called back one last time.
"Phineas!", Candace yelled out, causing him to come back to her.
"Yeah?"
Candace glared down at him but then softened her expression and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Be careful, okay?"
Phineas chuckled and gave a nod, "I will."
With that, he flew off for Doofenshmirtz's place. Unaware of what dangers laid ahead of him.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorperateeed!
Phineas walked up to the door and chuckled at the tune. He had come to miss it since last being there. It wasn't the same listening to the empinator. After being buzzed in, Phineas came right on up. He was excited for the machines they would build. The inventions they would come up with. And seeing Perry the Platypus again was gonna be nice. When he got to the top floor, there wasn't anyone in the room yet. Phineas looked around curiously.
"Dr. D.? It's me, Phineas!", he called out. "I'm here cause-"
Doofenshmirtz soon came out of the kitchen with a smile and Phineas smiled back.
"Oh! There you are Doof.", he said cheerfully before pulling out a small notebook. "Cool red eyes! Have you been using the recolor ray? Anyway, I've already got a few ideas in mind if you're ready to get started."
He looked up but Doofenshmirtz wasn't even paying attention. He still retained a cold, menacing smile and Phineas began to feel a little nervous.
"Um...", Phineas began, backing up. "Dr. Doofenshmirtz? What are you-?"
Before he had time to react, the larger man sprung at him and pinned him soundly to the ground. Phineas tried to break free from the grasp but he was soon flipped over and he could feel a rope being tied around him.
"AAH! What-!", Phineas stammered.
As Doofenshmirtz began to tie him up, Vanessa walked in at that moment, hearing the commotion.
"Dad?", she asked, poking her head in before gasping at the sight. "DAD! What's going on!"
She came over in an attempt to stop her father, but before she could even lay a hand on him, he whirled around and threw her back into a wall. She slammed hard against it and the bookshelf above her fell onto her head from the wall's vibration and the teen girl fell unconcious. Phineas could obviously tell there was something wrong but couldn't really seem to do anything about it as he was suddenly, and forcibly, picked up and stood on his feet with his arms and legs securely tied to his body. He wrestled to loosen the rope around him as he tried to talk to the doctor.
"Dr. D., what's going on? If-if this is a weird game, I think you're taking it WAY too far!", he was saying.
The man paid no attention as he only patiently waited by him. Suddenly right before Phineas' very eyes a green portal began to open up to a...
"...It's a...couch?", Phineas asked curiously before a sudden memory flashed by his mind.
'"It's a... It's a couch."', Doofenshmirtz said in slight confusion.
Phineas blinked and shook his head.
'Where did that come from?', he thought to himself before being shoved into the portal.
They walked through an oddly familiar looking building and as Phineas tried to figure it all out, a familiar buzz wouldn't get out of his head. Like he's been here before but.. He just couldn't make it out.
'A red and black couch... Giant lawn gnomes everywhere...', Phineas began to list off, hoping it would jog something. 'Cells.. Cells? Okay I don't remember THAT.'
Unfortunately he was shoved forcefully into one and before he could roll over, the door was already closed and locked. Phineas managed to get up on his knees and looked up at Doofenshmirtz.
"Doof, what's going on? Why are you doing this?", Phineas asked, completely lost.
It was at that moment that he noticed that while Doof stared off, his eyes seemed kinda glazed over. Like he wasn't really focusing on anything. And he knew the recolor ray didn't do that. It wasn't any sort of function for it at all to do that. But his answers were soon answered by the doctor's voice though his lips made no movement.
"All excellent questions, Phineas Flynn...", a shadowy figure behind the doctor said.
He stepped forward and Phineas saw the eye patch and exclaimed, "I've been kidnapped by a pirate!"
Alternate Doofenshmirtz paused for a moment, confused by it but decided it was a manner of correcting.
"Uh, no. I'm actually an evil scientist.", he said with a slight smile.
"I've been kidnapped by an evil scientific pirate!", Phineas added, a little more scared than before.
simply smacked a hand to his head and sighed. He acted like he was gonna say something but then paused and pondered something. After a moment, he came down and stared curiously at Phineas, scratching his chin.
"...Do you.. perhaps, have ever had a pet platypus?", he asked.
Phineas backed up a bit but gave a slow nod in confirmation.
"...His name's Perry, am I right?", he pressed on, receiving another nod. "Does he... Know any tricks?"
"No..", Phineas shook his head. "He's just a platypus. He doesn't do much."
The doctor gave a nod, seeming to understand it and stood up. He was silent for a moment, going over the answers he's been giving before suddenly thrusting his arms out with an exasperated face.
"TYPICAL!", he yelled to no one in the room. "Very typical Monobrow! Of course!"
He suddenly snatches something off of Heinz before opening the door and allowing the first dimensional copy to stumble a bit into the cell before falling to his knees in slight weakness. Doofenshmirtz walked off while Heinz grabbed his head in slight pain.
"Dr. D.?", Phineas asked in concern.
"Phineas?", Heinz said, his head flying up.
He looked up at the young boy and with a thousand apologies, began to untie him.
"I-I should've called you or something! I'm- Really, I'm so sorry for all of this!", he began as he took off the ropes and Phineas rubbed his arms.
"It-It's okay, but what's going on? Who was that guy?", Phineas asked, understanding how the first was under control.
"There's not really a whole lot of time to explain. We gotta-"
Heinz was cut off as Doofenshmirtz walked back into the room with a small ray gun. They both looked over but neither had a chance to react before a beam was shot at Phineas' head. The young boy's eyes widen as a thousand memories began to flash by his mind. The second dimension. How Doofenshmirtz had taken over the Tri-State Area. Perry was a secret agent. The fighting. The trapping. The dooming. The interdimensional travels and the big robot fight at the end. Choosing to forget about Perry. Kissing Isabella and suddenly having his mind erased. Everything was coming back to him and while Phineas sat there in a daze and watched his memories, Heinz confronted Doofenshmirtz.
"What did you do to him?", he asked angrily.
"Same thing I did with you. Brought your memories back. Surely you didn't forget THAT quickly.", 2Doof teased. "I knew YOU would surely forget about your adventure into my dimension but didn't guess Phineas would too so now you both remember."
"Well, DUH.", 1Doof rolled his eyes. "You really think they're just gonna let him run around knowing his pet's a secret agent?"
"No, I thought they shipped the platypus off.", Doofenshmirtz merely shrugged. "Anyway, don't think I'm done with YOU yet."
At that moment, Phineas had finished recollecting everything and looked around before seeing and leaping back in fear.
"I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY ALTERNATE DOOFENSHMIRTZ!"
"Bingo! Thank you.", he smiled.
"H-how did you get out of jail already? Weren't you in for life?", Phineas asked.
"I got out for good behavior.", he snickered. "Suckers."
Phineas only gaped at the possibility of a secret agency being so stupid. Heinz took a stab at addressing some real issues.
"Jail not being the real matter, what do you want PHINEAS for?", he asked.
"I have a VERY strong 'You break it you buy it' policy.", Doofenshmirtz said as his sneer turned into a scowl before pointing at the boy. "And HE broke my normbots!"
"Whoa whoa, I didn't break your normbots. I destroyed their satellite, but YOU'RE the one who used the self-destruct button. ", Phineas said in his own defense.
"Yeah but do you know how many normbots broke from falling from 50 ft in the air because you destroyed the dish?", 2Doof argued. "And besides, I know how fast you and the other me build things. More hands would make the work go by all the much quicker when you build my normbot army and help me take over the entire world in BOTH of our dimensions!"
Phineas only rolled his eyes and shrugged, "Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm TOTALLY gonna help you. If I wasn't gonna listen to your puppet for a stupid inator, what on earth makes you think I'm gonna help you this time?"
"Trust me, Phineas. I think you're gonna WANT to help me.", Doofenshmirtz sneered in his face.
"And your reasons for such a horrific thought is...?", Phineas asked.
Doofenshmirtz only stood back up, still smiling evilly. He glanced over at Heinz who only became concerned with the look, before Doofenshmirtz pointed at him.
"Do you know who that is?", he asked.
Phineas looked over at him and shrugged.
"That's Dr. Doofenshmirtz from my dimension.", he said, looking back up at the other.
Doofenshmirtz only chuckled and said, "Okay so you don't know him."
Heinz began to really feel worried as he was pointed at again.
"THAT...", began the eviler one. "...is your father."
1Doof's eyes widened in shock as he looked over at Phineas in full fear. The young boy only stared up in puzzlement. Apparently, he didn't get it.
"...What on earth are you talking about? He's not my dad.", he said.
"YES.. He is.", 2Doof insisted. "I know it and he knows too. Don't you?"
Phineas looked over and Heinz was looking away, obviously ashamed about it.
"...Dr. D.?", he began, wondering if it was true.
"...Remember how I said I knew Linda?", Heinz began before offering a weak chuckle. "I meant I KNEW her. Yes...it's true..."
Phineas stared in shock before the other drew his attention.
"So you see Phineas. If you don't do EXACTLY what I tell you. HE. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Your BIOLOGICAL FATHER. Will DIE because of you.", Doofenshmirtz threatened with a stern scowl. "...I'll give you some time to think it over. Choose carefully."
And with that, he walked out of the room without another word.
Heinz or Dr. D. refers to 1st Doof and
Doofenshmirtz or Dr. Doofenshmirtz refers to 2nd Doof from this point on, kay? Just wanted to clear that up.
