In Between Dimensions: Where's Platyborg? Part 2
Platyborg regained consciousness, well actually he woke up. Rodney didn't knock him out or sedate him or anything like that, the cyborg simply fell asleep. He was so exhausted from screaming for help that his eyes had to close, he just had to rest.
Some might say it made Rodney's job easier but it wouldn't make a difference, the scientist was going to knock him out anyways.
The cyborg was still tired but he still had a little bit of energy in him, just enough to keep him awake for now. He turned his head to look around the lab he was in; eventually he gave up because even doing that was draining his energy. He was restrained by his arms and legs to a metal table.
"Glad to see you're awake" The evil scientist stepped out of the shadows "I was beginning to think that you would sleep through this whole thing" When he didn't get an answer he continued "You know I normally have to knock people out that I kidnap, this is the first time someone actually fell asleep, you really are tired aren't you?"
Of course he was tired, he's been tired for days now and he was sick of it. Sick of not being able to do things he normally would, sick of not being able to act like himself. Platyborg was tired of not being able to be him. If he couldn't be himself then who was he? He just wished it could stop, for his suffering to stop. The cyborg thought that maybe, just maybe…Rodney could do that for him. That the scientist could just end his suffering and that'd be it. He'd be gone. That's what Rodney wanted right? This time he wouldn't argue or fight back (it's not like he could anyway) he'd just lie back and let the scientist do whatever to him.
It's not like the cyborg could do anything else anyways.
Doofenshmirtz paced in his office with his face in his hands. Platyborg, he's gone; someone took him. But why?
The phone rang and yet again he answered it.
"Hello?" He said half-heartedly.
"Doofenshmirtz I know what's wrong with Platyborg!"
The dictator listened contently as the intern explained. Apparently the cyborg had a gas leak but not just any gas was leaking out of him. It was the Pizzazium Infinionite. The Pizzazium was now Platyborg's sole life and energy source and it was slowly depleting; His energy was depleting as well and once the gas seeped out completely…let's just say the results would be about the cost of another funeral.
Doofenshmirtz said goodbye and hung up. He started to think. Whoever took Platyborg knew the exact time to strike, when the cyborg was weak and completely vulnerable. They also had to know about the Pizzazium in him and the scientist already had a hunch on who it was.
Alt Doof went to his monitor and checked the security cameras. Just like he knew it would be, his hunch was correct.
Rodney, of course he took Platyborg. It was completely obvious why he took him. He wanted the Pizzazium before it was gone forever.
Now Doofenshmirtz had to do one of two things.
1) Save Platyborg before the Pizzazium completely drained out of him.
Or
2) Save Platyborg before Rodney drained it himself.
Doof got his keys and headed for his car, he couldn't do this alone. He hated to admit it but he needed someone's help; and that somebody really annoyed him. The dictator sighed and started the engine, this was gonna be a long drive.
"I need you"
"Sorry bro I don't roll that way" Platyborg said to the scientist.
"That's not what I meant; I need what's inside of you" There was an awkward silence before Rodney continued "The Pizzazium! I need the Pizzazium Infinionite!"
"Ohhhh" The cyborg nodded in understanding "I don't have that"
"Yes you do"
"No, don't you remember? You killed me when I tried to get it"
"Of course I remember that, how could I not? I made your death fairly painful"
"And I was glad when it was finally over, but what does this have to do with the Pizzazium?"
"Doofenshmirtz brought you back to life didn't he?"
"Yeah? So?"
"So, do you know how he did it?"
"No…I didn't really ask how he did it…I got hit in the face with a shovel pretty hard so I guess I forgot to mention it"
"Doofenshmirtz used the Pizzazium to bring you back, he crushed it and filled it into you"
"Oh"
"It's the only thing keeping you alive and I need it"
"Oh…" Platyborg said sadly.
"So you just relax and I'll get the machine ready" Rodney walked to the control panel of a ray that was now pointed at him.
The cyborg sighed and leaned back onto the table, accepting the fact that in a few minutes…he'd be dead. He really couldn't do anything else. He could barely move! And even if he did get out of the trap, what would he do then? Run? Platyborg could barely even stand let alone walk. Running was definitely out of the question. Why was he always so vulnerable?
It was then that he realized that he was a failure. It all dawned on him; he was a failure as a cyborg, (he was weak). He was a failure as a servant (he couldn't do anything right). He was a failure as a pet (he couldn't even stand being around those boys, they just annoyed him SO much!) What type of pet felt that way about their owners? Even if you don't remember them at all? Wouldn't that make you want to spend more time with them and to try and remember as much as you possibly could? He was a failure as a boyfriend (Semira could do WAY better than him).
Most importantly he was a complete failure to Doof, his creator. Doofenshmirtz made him for a reason, to be his second in command and lead his army and follow his orders. Platyborg couldn't do any of those things correctly. Doofenshmirtz deserved a better general than him.
At least he wouldn't be able to fail anyone ever again; maybe that was a good thing. No, it WAS a good thing. He was sure of it.
The machine started to hum as it warmed up. The tip of the machine glowed a white color and it began.
This was it, no more disappointments.
Doofenshmirtz was slammed back into his seat again after another sharp turn.
"Could you drive anymore recklessly?" The dictator yelled at the girl.
"Do you want to get there quickly or not?" Candace replied.
"I want to get there ALIVE if you don't mind"
She ignored him and continued speeding through the street.
"How are we not being pulled over? We have to be going AT LEAST two times over the speed limit" When he didn't get an answer he continued "Are we there yet?"
"If you don't shut up I swear I will turn this car around!"
"Oh well look who's being parental! If only you could focus that energy on taking care of your brothers, because if I'm not mistaken I drove your mother to complete insanity" Doofenshmirtz laughed, proud of his accomplishment.
The dictator's laughing ceased when the car was purposely swerved and his head was slammed against the door.
The machine began and green light started to come out of the cyborg's body and go into the ray. Platyborg felt all the energy and life being drained out of him, he became tired and started to get colder.
Just when the cyborg felt that there was no more energy to be drained, it continued to do just that; completely drain him.
The door was broken down.
"Stop the machine Rodney!" Doofenshmirtz pointed a gun at him "This ends NOW"
"Doofenshmirtz…what an unexpected surprise and of course by unexpected I mean-"
"I'm not in the mood for games Roddenstein, I really wouldn't mess with me if I were you now Stop the machine, or else"
"What'll you do? Shoot me? Quick to take someone's life now are we?"
"Stop the machine I won't ask you again"
"As you wish" Rodney flipped the switch and the machine stopped. The restraints holding the cyborg retracted.
Alt Doof ran to the table and picked up the small shaking cyborg. His fur was a pure white and you could see his short breath in the air as he breathed in and out.
Candace handcuffed Rodney and stood to monitor him. At that moment Rodney snatched the laser gun from the girl's belt and fired, sending a red laser across the room towards Platyborg.
Doofenshmirtz turned and took the shot in the shoulder, it hurt and a red stain started to soak his shoulder but it didn't hit the cyborg and that was what mattered.
Candace snatched her gun back.
"I-I'm sorry…"
"For what Platyborg?"
"F-for being a f-failure to everyone a-and to you…"
"You have never failed me Platyborg, not once"
"Y-yes I did, I c-can't do a-anything right…I can't even protect you from a l-laser gun"
"No Platyborg listen to me, I'm sorry…I'm sorry I didn't get here in time"
"I-it's ok"
"No it's not, because I failed you" Doofenshmirtz continued "I'm so proud of you"
"Good job soldier" Candace smiled down at him.
Platyborg smiled and his eyes slowly drifted shut.
When Platyborg woke up he saw nothing but white; white ceiling, white walls and white sheets that he was lying on. He was in a hospital room.
"Oh there you are Platyborg" Doofenshmirtz knocked on the already open door and walked into the room "How are you feeling?"
"Doof? I thought…that I-"
"Died?" The dictator chuckled "No, no you didn't"
"But how? The Pizzazium-"
"We found an alternative power source for you"
"You did? It's not a squirrel is it?" The cyborg look disgusted.
"No, it's not a squirrel; it's Cutonium"
"Cutonium?"
"It's a substance found on a distant planet inhabited by small and adorable aliens, it has the power to make the consumer become irresistibly and absolutely cute"
"But how is it keeping me alive? And why didn't it turn me cute?"
"I may have tampered with the Cutonium's cell structure just a little bit to alter its purpose" Alt Doof shrugged.
"But why am I not irresistibly cute?"
"Platyborg you're already cute"
"You think I'm cute?"
"I don't think you're cute Platyborg, it's a scientific fact!"
"Oh…well ok I guess that makes sense, wait! Your shoulder!"
"Platyborg I'm fine" Doofenshmirtz pulled up his sleeve revealing a large white patch covering his entire shoulder.
The cyborg sighed in relief and sank back into the bed. The scientist sat on the bed next to him and lied back, sighing.
"So everything is back to normal?"
"I wouldn't say EXACTLY back to normal" Doof sat up.
Platyborg sat up as well "What do you mean?"
"Read it for yourself" Doofenshmirtz handed him a folded newspaper.
The cyborg unfolded the newspaper and read the first page aloud as the scientist lied back down "Dr. Aloyse Everheart Elizabeth Otto Wolfgang Hypatia Gunther Galen Gary Cooper Von Roddenstein jailed for attempt at murder- No way! How'd you manage THAT?"
"The judge could never try him for anything with you because you're an animal, but a human is a completely different story; he shouldn't have touched that gun, he was screwed the second that bullet hit me; plus the judge owed me"
"Wow…"
"Keep reading"
Platyborg continued to read "Roddenstein suffered a concussion and multiple broken ligaments and several bones- wow what happened to him?"
"After you passed out, let's just say I had a little word with him about messing with one of my inventions"
"Possessive much?"
"No, no I'm not actually; I made you and only I can put my hands on you"
Platyborg rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Alright smarty Borg, get some rest" Doofenshmirtz headed to the door "And you don't have to worry about Rodney, we won't be seeing him for a LONG time"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely" The scientist smirked and left.
Platyborg closed his eyes and relaxed back in the bed.
The universe truly had its moments.
