Phineas and Quite Possibly Ferb
In this chapter, things are going to get scary. It's going to be up to Vanessa Doofenshmirtz to save the day…and of course Camp Wannaweep.
Can she do it? Of course, she'll have that little amphibian buddy of hers to help…but even so, Gill is one nasty mutant.
And yes, Ron Stoppable's not going to be able to save the camp…unfortunately.
I hope you enjoy this latest installment…even if it's probably going to give you nightmares. Heh heh.
I think the Dark Gaia's Spawn song would suit Gill well. Do you?
Chapter 7: Night of Terror
In the afternoon, it was about time for everyone to be fed. They were getting rather hungry, after all. Especially Ron and Rufus.
Incidentally, the sky had turned orange. It looked like the sun was going to vanish soon.
Fortunately, they had a wide variety of foods available, so nobody was unhappy.
They even had tacos…which of course Ron Stoppable loved.
In fact, so did Rufus.
Shrugging, Vanessa decided to go with something salty.
Curious, she noticed that Ron was feeding one of his tacos to his pet naked mole rat, and wondered if she should do something similar for Newt.
As it turned out, he was currently resting in her hair.
"Do you want some of my salty potato chips, Newt?" inquired Vanessa.
Newt frantically shook his head.
"Hmm? Oh that's right…salt would burn your tongue, am I correct?" asked the gothic chick.
Newt nodded.
"Is that frog your pet?" asked Ron.
"Er, no…I just happened to befriend him during my stay at Camp Wannaweep." explained Vanessa.
"Now that I think of it…I probably could have gotten a frog in order to deal with my father's fur allergies…he doesn't have any hair, does he?" inquired the blonde.
"No, he does not." stated the gothic chick.
"Good point." noted Rufus. Still, he got the feeling that Ron wouldn't trade him for anything…not even a million dollars.
Speaking of which, he remembered the time Ron became filthy rich…but Dr. Drakken decided to steal from him.
Then again, he was running a bit low on funds for his evil domination schemes, so maybe he had felt a little sorry for him.
"Is there anything you could eat that isn't salty?" asked Vanessa.
Newt pointed to some freshly cooked fish.
"Alright then." nodded the gothic chick.
Immediately, she gave some of the fish to Newt.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt.
"I take it you're enjoying that?" asked Vanessa.
Newt nodded.
Personally, Vanessa wondered if she should take Newt as a pet. Then again, taking a wild animal in might not be such a good idea.
Still, he seemed to be disease-free, as he had been careful not to swim in Lake Wannaweep during his contamination.
He in fact had found a small puddle in order to keep himself moist. However, his brother Wart didn't seem to catch on to why swimming in Lake Wannaweep was a bad idea.
He had told him that the water was great, but Newt wasn't so sure that was true.
Later on, Wart told him that he was right and that he shouldn't have gone swimming there…even if he didn't have to worry about natural predators anymore. He was kind of…at the top of the food chain.
Now that Newt had thought of it, his brother had been a big eater even before he had gotten mutated. He could hardly keep up.
Considering that he didn't need to be fed much, Vanessa wondered if keeping Newt as a pet would be a good idea.
She in fact wanted a pet, but she wondered if it was too much of a responsibility. Since Newt typically kept on his best behavior, it might be worth a try.
After everyone had been fed, everyone headed back towards their cabins…except for Newt and Vanessa.
As it turned out, they had decided to check on Lake Wannaweep once again. They were feeling rather worried about it.
Sure enough, it was looking as nasty as ever.
"What was my dad thinking?" asked Vanessa.
Newt shrugged. Her guess was as good as his.
Suddenly, Gill emerged from the lake, much to their horror.
"What is that?!" screeched Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" bellowed Newt. This was simply horrifying!
Immediately, they went to alert the campers of the bad situation.
Sure enough, they happened to bump into Ron.
"What's the matter?" asked Ron.
"I just saw a swamp monster!" exclaimed Vanessa.
"A swamp monster? What did it look like?" inquired the blonde.
"Huh?" asked Rufus.
"It had red eyes, green skin, was covered with sludge, and looked like a frog!" exclaimed Vanessa.
Ron gasped in shock. That fit Gill's description perfectly.
"Aah! We've got to alert the other campers immediately!" exclaimed Ron.
Frantically, he began to knock on Kim's door.
"Hey there, Ron. What's the matter? Are you having more miserable experiences at camp?" asked Kim.
"It's Gill! He's back with a vengeance!" exclaimed Ron.
"How can that be? They cleaned up the lake…and they cleaned up the grotto too." stated the cheerleader.
Curious, she decided to use the Kimmunicator to see if there was some truth in his claims.
"Is there a swamp mutant lurking around?" asked Kim.
"Not that I'm aware of…but I've got something that might concern you. Someone went and repolluted the lake!" exclaimed Wade.
"What? Who did it?" inquired the girl that could do anything.
"It was my father." explained Vanessa.
"What was he thinking?" asked Kim.
"I don't know either." answered the Goth girl.
Suddenly, Kim's Kimmunicator began to receive some interference.
"Uh-oh, Kim! I'm breaking up with you! Someone's sabotaging the-"
Kim's Kimmunicator went to static.
At that very moment, Candace screamed "Noooooooo!"
"What's the matter?" asked Kim.
"It's my cell phone! I can't use it to contact my friends!" bellowed Candace.
"Yeah…my Kimmunicator shut down too. Someone must have interfered with the telecommunications…" noted Kim.
Something was definitely wrong.
However, the other campers seemed oblivious to what was going on.
"You may be right, Ron. Something just isn't right about this." noted the cheerleader.
At that very moment, Mr. Barkin yelled out in frustration.
"What's the matter?" asked Kim.
"Someone sabotaged the bus engine! We can't use it to leave Camp Wannaweep!" exclaimed Mr. Barkin.
"Oh no…" thought Ron.
"I hope that we can repair it…" noted the substitute teacher.
"I certainly hope so." nodded Kim. Personally part of her wished that Wade could have gone to camp with them. He could repair the bus in no time flat.
"Are we stranded?" asked Candace.
"I'm afraid so." nodded Ron. This could not mean anything good.
The girl with the long neck began to run around the camp frantically.
"By the way, has anyone seen my dad?" asked Vanessa.
She was starting to get a bit worried about him.
Meanwhile…
Unfortunately, there was just no sign of Gill. By the looks of things, he had camouflaged himself once again.
Not only that, but night was beginning to fall.
"This isn't good…I fear for the safety of the campers!" exclaimed Dr. Lurkin.
"I promise, I'm not going to dump anything else in Lake Wannaweep, I swear!" bellowed Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Suddenly, they began to hear something.
"Wait, what was that?" asked the mad scientist.
Suddenly, someone spewed out green sludge…and attached Perry to Platypus to a nearby tree.
Perry began to wonder what was going on.
"Hey! I thought trapping Perry the Platypus was supposed to be my job!" bellowed Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Suddenly, he found himself stuck to a tree as well.
"This is disgusting!" bellowed the hunchback. Whose bright idea was it to spray sludge on people?
Dr. Lurkin's face paled. He realized who it was now.
At that very moment, Gill jumped a few feet away from him.
"Now, now Gill. I'm sure you'll enjoy life better as a non-muta-"
Suddenly, Gill splattered him to a tree as well.
Satisfied with his work, he began to hunt down the other campers.
A few minutes later, the campers began to hear the sound of screaming.
Phineas and Ferb decided to investigate. The screams sounded awfully familiar.
"Isabella!" exclaimed Phineas.
Curious, he went to investigate the source of the screaming.
Sure enough, there was Isabella, who had been glued to a cabin wall by Gill's sludge.
"What happened, Isabella?" inquired Phineas.
"I got attacked by a swamp monster!" bellowed Isabella.
"A swamp monster?" asked Phineas.
Suddenly, Phineas found himself being glued to the wall very close to where Isabella was, causing her to blush.
"What's going on?" inquired the boy.
At that very moment, Gill decided to reveal himself once more.
"That's the monster that attacked me!" exclaimed Isabella.
"Congratulations! You're all about to become mutants!" bellowed Gill.
Unfortunately, Gill's sludge happened to be mutagenic…meaning prolonged exposure would transform someone into a mutant.
"Mutants? Cool!" bellowed Phineas. That actually sounded rather exciting.
Gill sweatdropped.
"Run for it, Ferb!" exclaimed the young boy.
Ferb frantically began to run away from the crazed mutant.
Sure enough, he bumped into Bonnie.
"Watch where you're going, dork!" bellowed the cheerleader.
Suddenly, Gill spat his mutagenic sludge on them, gluing them together, much to Bonnie's annoyance.
He then set to work on the cheerleading squad, hoping to mutate them as well.
Sure enough, Kim and Ron noticed what was going on.
"Run for it!" bellowed Ron.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Gill quickly attached them to yet another tree.
And to make matters worse, Rufus had been in Ron's pocket when he had vomited on them, so he wouldn't be able to help.
"Uh-oh." murmured Rufus.
"You're not saving the day this time, squeeb! Have fun being a mutant! Then again, you already did mutate yourself in order to defeat me once…" bellowed Gill.
"Would you look at that…we're going to become mutants together." noted Kim.
"That's a rather interesting thought…" acknowledged Ron.
Immediately, the two of them began to make out.
"Ugh! That is disgusting!" bellowed Gill. Why did he even bother trying to mutate Ron, anyway? He was already a freak.
"But we're not the ones vomiting sludge on people…" pointed out the sidekick.
"Whatever! There can't be many campers left now…" noted the mutant.
Sure enough, there was Candace, who was still oblivious to what was happening.
"I have to admit…this camp sure looks creepy at night." said Candace.
Suddenly, Gill vomited his sludge on Candace.
"This is Phineas and Ferb's doing, isn't it?" questioned the teenage girl.
Gill went to search for the few remaining campers.
At that very moment, Mr. Barkin wanted Kim Possible to save them.
"Kim Possible, we desperately need your help! There's a mutant on the loose!" exclaimed Mr. Barkin.
Tara immediately explained the situation to him.
"Kim Possible has been captured, Mr. Barkin! Everyone's been captured!" bellowed Tara.
Suddenly, Gill used his sludge to attach Tara to the school bus.
"I've been captured, Mr. Barkin!" screeched Tara.
Sure enough, Gill attached Mr. Barkin to the bus as well.
"How many times is this going to happen to me? I wonder what I'm going to mutate into this time…" noted Mr. Barkin.
It always seemed so random.
Sure enough, fur was beginning to grow across his body.
"Looks like this time I'm going to be a wolf-man." spoke the teacher.
At least he would do well out in the forest.
Perhaps he should go visit a girl who likes to dress in red. She always seemed to have delicious pastries.
At this point, there was only one person left that hadn't been trapped.
It was none other than Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
"You!" exclaimed Vanessa.
Sure enough, Gill prepared to spit on her and finish the job…
…only to suddenly be tripped by Newt and his tongue.
Seizing the opportunity, Vanessa began to flee into the kitchen so that she could barricade herself.
Newt quickly followed suit. Vanessa clearly needed his help.
"How could I have been so clumsy?" asked Gill as he helped himself to his feet.
No matter. Once Vanessa Doofenshmirtz had been plastered to a wall, he would be done.
He could then go on and mutate everyone in the other camps…
…he relished the thought.
Still, turning everyone in Camp Wannaweep into a mutant would be no small coop.
Maybe he should rest a bit after he was done with his job there.
After all, there was only so much sludge that he could spew out at a time.
For now, he needed to look for a gothic girl and the frog that she had befriended.
"She can run…but she can't hide." thought Gill.
Sure enough, he realized that she had barricaded herself in the kitchen.
"Off to the kitchen I go." said the mutant.
While he was at it, maybe he could get something to eat there. Mutating others was actually making him pretty hungry.
Fortunately for Vanessa, she had barricaded the kitchen rather well. Hopefully rescue would show up.
However, she got the feeling that the barricade wasn't going to hold Gill for long.
"What are we going to do? We're the only ones left now." stated Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt. This was a terrible dilemma.
"How are we going to defend ourselves against him?" questioned the daughter of an evil scientist.
Curious, Newt noticed that Gill greatly resembled an amphibian, and he got an idea.
Immediately, he wrapped his tongue around a salt shaker and handed it to Vanessa.
"Careful, you could hurt yourself with that." warned the Goth girl.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt.
"What do you want me to do with this? Wait a minute…" pondered Vanessa.
Now that she thought of it…wasn't Gill basically a giant amphibian? It seemed likely that he could absorb water through his skin.
All of a sudden, she had an idea of what to do.
She didn't have much time. Gill was going to be in the kitchen any minute.
"Come on out, wherever you are! I don't have all night!" exclaimed Gill.
"OK…I think I might know how to take him down and save Camp Wannaweep…but I'm going to need your help." explained Vanessa.
Newt nodded. She could always count on him. They were rather close…even if they had only known each other for one day.
Sure enough, Gill managed to find her.
"There you are!" bellowed the swamp mutant. Finally, he was going to get to finish what he had started.
Immediately, he began to break down the barricade to the kitchen.
As Vanessa had predicted, it didn't take him long at all. Already, he was inside.
However, he couldn't seem to find her anywhere.
"Where did she go?" asked Gill. Did she run off like a coward? He didn't think that she could get very far considering that he had sabotaged the bus engine.
Suddenly, he found himself being sprayed with some salt from the salt shaker.
"Aaugh!" exclaimed Gill. All of a sudden, his face was beginning to itch.
Not only that…but it was beginning to hurt.
That salt had irritated his skin.
Growling in frustration, Gill resumed his search for Vanessa.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a frog nearby, standing on some hand sanitizer.
"Oh, would you look at that? Someone let a frog into the kitchen." said Gill.
Newt then proceeded to spray Gill with the hand sanitizer, causing him to scream.
As it turned out, there were a lot of chemicals that he did not want to absorb through his skin.
Swatting Newt away, the mutated camper resumed his search for Vanessa.
Sure enough, he found her next to the sink.
"Now I've gotcha!" exclaimed Gill.
Immediately, he prepared to spew out some sludge all over Vanessa…
…only for her to toss soap in his mouth while it was open.
Sure enough, Gill began to cough and gag. It did not taste good as well.
Once again, he prepared to vomit sludge on Vanessa…
…but no sludge came out.
"Uh-oh." thought Gill.
Suddenly, Vanessa whacked Gill with a frying pan.
"Ow!" screeched the mutant.
This caused him to collapse on the floor, much like earlier.
Gill tried to help himself to his feet…
…only for Newt to trip him once more.
Now Vanessa had her chance.
Reaching under the sink, she found a variety of different chemicals.
She began to pour every single one of them on to Gill, much to his horror.
"No! No! Stop!" bellowed Gill. He had already realized what was going to happen.
Sure enough, they were all having negative impacts on his body. He was feeling very, very bad.
All of a sudden, he was starting to feel rather…woozy.
"Impossible! How could I lose to a goth? I'm the nightmare of Camp Wannaweep! I can't be taken out like this…" murmured Gill.
Suddenly, he passed out on the floor.
Vanessa gasped in pleasant surprise. She had actually managed to defeat him!
Hopefully now the day would be saved.
Of course, she still had to find a way to free the other campers.
"How am I going to do that?" asked Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt.
"Huh? I should try washing away the sludge with water? That seems like as good of an idea as any." acknowledged the daughter of an evil scientist.
Immediately, she went to where the fire extinguisher was.
"Let's see if this works." said Vanessa.
Sure enough, she could see several campers that desperately needed her help. None of them wanted to become mutants…even if Gill was inclined to disagree.
Using the fire extinguisher, she managed to free most of the cheerleading squad. Oddly enough, most of them happened to be rather close together.
"Thank you!" exclaimed Hope, expressing her gratitude towards the Goth.
"We'd love to have you on our squad!" bellowed Marcella. By the looks of things, she was rather grateful.
"You'd be much more preferable than Bonnie!" shouted Liz. Bonnie was as detestable as ever.
"Er, yeah…" nodded Jessica. Why did Bonnie have to be so selfish and cruel? Personally she was wondering why Mr. Barkin wouldn't kick her off the squad.
Shortly afterwards, she set to work on freeing Phineas and Isabella.
"Thanks." said Phineas as he began to wipe the rest of the sludge off of his body.
"That was disgusting!" bellowed Isabella. She hoped that it was never going to happen again.
"Yes. Yes, it was." nodded Phineas. Still, he found it rather amazing that there had been a swamp monster lurking in Camp Wannaweep this whole time.
What other secrets did the camp have? He would like to go there again in the future.
She then began to free Bonnie and Ferb as well. They were starting to look a bit…green.
Well, Ferb was anyway. Of course, maybe it was just his green hair.
"I suppose I should thank you. I was sick and tired of listening to this dweeb!" bellowed Bonnie.
"But he hardly ever talks." pointed out Vanessa.
"Really? I never noticed." said the cruel cheerleader. Maybe she was just imagining things. Swamp monsters always made her imagination run wild.
Ferb shrugged. Personally he was under the impression that Bonnie would notice that he was a rather quiet boy.
Personally he just thought it was easier to let Phineas do the speaking. He had such a way with words.
Then again, Phineas said that he had a way with words himself. He was pretty good with similes and metaphors, to say the very least.
Perhaps he should sign up for the Middleton Poetry Club?
Vanessa then proceeded to free Kim, Ron, and Rufus…the former two of which were still making out.
"Um, you do realize you're free now…right?" asked Vanessa.
"Really?" inquired Kim Possible.
"We actually didn't notice…" noted Ron.
"Huh." murmured Rufus. Apparently, they had lost track of their surroundings.
He was so happy to finally be free. It felt awful whenever he didn't get the opportunity to run around.
She then noticed her trapped father…as well as the trapped Perry and Dr. Lurkin.
"I'm here to rescue you, dad!" exclaimed Vanessa.
"Finally! I was starting to get worried! I was transforming into a cockroach!" bellowed Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
"At least you'd be resilient." noted his daughter as he washed the sludge away.
She then began to free Perry the Platypus and Dr. Lurkin.
"Thank you!" exclaimed Dr. Lurkin.
"You're welcome." answered Vanessa.
She had to admit, it felt rather unusual saving the day. Who would have thought that she would become a heroine?
Then again, everyone could be a hero or heroine to someone.
Perry gave her a salute as he began to walk around.
In the process, he waved hello to Newt, since he of course was a semi-aquatic mammal of action…and Newt happened to be an amphibian.
Newt waved hello in return.
She proceeded to save Candace.
"That was horrifying!" exclaimed Candace.
"It certainly was." nodded Vanessa.
Thankfully, the nightmare was finally over.
Saving Mr. Barkin and Tara for last, she began to free them using the fire extinguisher.
Unfortunately, Mr. Barkin had transformed into a wolf-man. For some strange reason, the sludge mutated him rather quickly.
Maybe some were more resistant to the mutagenic sludge than others? That would make sense.
"Owoooo!" exclaimed Mr. Barkin.
"You think he's going to be OK?" asked Tara.
"I would like to think so. At least he doesn't seem to be dangerous." noted Vanessa.
Sure enough, Mr. Wolfman was mostly keeping to himself, though he did seem rather hungry.
"Try this!" exclaimed Dr. Lurkin.
Mr. Wolfman eagerly ate the meat that Dr. Lurkin had given him, and he suddenly transformed to normal.
Dr. Lurkin had cleverly squirted the antidote to the mutation so that Mr. Barkin would eat it. He figured that someone was going to get mutated even if they managed to stop Gill in time.
In the process, Mr. Barkin was left shirtless, much to Tara's delight.
"Oh my gosh! Mr. Barkin is so attractive without his shirt on!" exclaimed Tara.
"Can you get me a shirt?" asked Mr. Barkin.
"Awww!" complained Tara.
Later, in the morning…
"I'm going to get you! And your little frog too!" screeched Gill.
Once again, he had been trapped inside a fishbowl.
"I'll be taking your action figures for the day." said Dr. Lurkin.
"Oh, man!" bellowed Gill.
"Congratulations! You are now the heroine of Camp Wannaweep!" exclaimed Ron.
"Thanks." stated Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt. Was he now the sidekick of Camp Wannaweep?
"I thought you were the hero of Camp Wannaweep." said Kim.
"If I'm the hero, she's the heroine." answered Ron.
"I suppose that makes sense." nodded Kim.
"That was one exciting camp trip!" exclaimed Isabella.
"It sure was, Isabella!" bellowed Phineas.
"I am never going for a swim in a toxic lake." stated Ferb.
"Finally! Now I can bust my brothers for making that swamp monster!" exclaimed Candace.
"Actually, it was my dad who was responsible." explained Vanessa.
"Really? Alright then, I'll bust him!" bellowed the high-strung girl.
"I've been trying to do so for years. Good luck." answered the daughter of an evil scientist that should have been more careful about how he managed his waste.
At that very moment, Charlene Doofenshmirtz decided to pay her daughter and ex-husband a visit.
"Are you OK, Vanessa? I heard about what had happened at Camp Wannaweep and wanted to see if I were alright." asked Charlene.
"Yes, I'm fine. I actually managed to save the camp." stated Vanessa.
"You certainly did. Congratulations. I had a feeling you would something great one day." answered her mother.
"I guess you were right. Of course, the frog I befriended here helped." said the Goth girl.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt.
"Is he your pet?" inquired Charlene.
"Well, it depends if he's safe to be around. I don't think he swam in the toxic lake since he vehemently didn't want to be in the polluted water…but I would like to make sure." noted Vanessa.
Curious, Dr. Lurkin scanned him with a device.
"He's clean. You may keep him as a pet." stated the doctor.
"Alright then. Would you like to be my pet frog?" inquired Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" exclaimed Newt.
"Remember, you're in charge of feeding him." stated Charlene.
"Don't worry! He doesn't eat much!" exclaimed Vanessa.
"Ribbit!" bellowed the frog. It's true, he didn't.
Waving goodbye to his mutated brother, he got ready to go to his new home along with Vanessa.
Fortunately, the school bus engine had been repaired, so everyone else could get to go home as well.
"Dr. Doofenshmirtz, are you going to pollute Lake Wannaweep again?" inquired Dr. Lurkin.
"No no no! I'm never trying something like that again! Really, I promise!" bellowed Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
"Good. You know, we might have a position for you at science camp…" said the sane scientist.
"Really? You mean it? Yes!" cheered the head scientist.
Immediately, he drove off with Dr. Lurkin towards science camp.
As they did so, Gill began to roar.
"I sure hope we won't have to see him again…" noted Ron.
"Hopefully Dr. Lurkin can keep him busy for a while. Then again, we've only encountered him twice up until now." acknowledged Kim.
"Well, that's true." nodded the sidekick. Personally, he was under the impression that they would encounter Gill more. He always seemed to be present in the show intro.
Then again, maybe he thought wrong. He was surprised what showed up in the intro for the show.
"Wait, why am I breaking the fourth wall?" inquired Ron.
"Because it's fun?" asked Kim.
"Maybe…" answered Bueno Nacho's top customer. Personally he thought that theme song was rather catchy.
He in fact had downloaded it on his Ipod. He just couldn't stop listening to those tunes.
Immediately, they stepped onto the bus. It was good to finally get to head back home after everything that had happened.
But was it the last they had seen of Gill?
Sure enough, Kim's parents were rather worried about Kim Possible.
"Where were you?" inquired Anne Possible.
"I was at camp…and things went south." explained Kim.
"You went to camp?" asked Tim.
"You got lucky!" exclaimed Jim.
"No, I didn't." answered Kim.
"Did you save the camp?" asked James Possible.
"A girl by the name of Vanessa did, actually." answered Kim Possible.
Hopefully the world would be safe for the time being.
However, she knew that evil never rests. She considered it to be a shame, considering that she was looking forward to a day off.
Why did evil have to be so proactive?
She was ready for whatever was going to happen.
After all, she was the girl that could do anything.
Hooray for Vanessa! She managed to save Camp Wannaweep!
Oh, and she now has a pet frog. Adding OCs is rather fun…even if this one wasn't actually human.
In the next chapter, Kim Possible is going to have to thwart the Senor's latest scheme. And yes, they're up to no good again. Were you expecting them to be on their best behavior?
I hope to see you later.
