I don't own any of this all of the Nicktoons belongs to Nickelodeon.
"So let me get this straight. You were minding your own business down in your lab, when a sudden tear in the universe broke out and dumped you into my world."
"Precisely. The multi-dimensional rift came through like an unstoppable tidal wave, it hit just as hard as one to. I could actually feel everything that makes up the human body shift around under the strain of the glitch, from my DNA to the very neurons. If video game characters could feel, I believe that they would've been feeling the exact same thing that I've felt when video games glitches occur."
It had been four hours since Timmy had the surprise of meeting up with Jimmy Neutron downtown after his jetpack flight. Timmy wasted no time on asking what he's doing here in Dimsdale? It wasn't just everyday that Jimmy would come into his world, so what was the occasion? Jimmy assured him that his questions will be answered in due time, but first they needed a place more private in order to have this important conversation. Cosmo happily provided this by poofing them all back into Timmy's room.
It's here that Jimmy explained his situation with the help of Goddard by displaying the glitch wave on his computer screen. "As you can see here Timmy." Jimmy pointed to the screen. "This tear in the multiverse is large enough to not only affect my universe, but other universes as well."
Not really understanding this whole multiverse, glitchy, universe thing. Timmy scratches his head as to him it just looked like a pink blob going through outer space. "So if this glitch thing is so strong. Why didn't it affect my world?"
"I believe it's due to the distance of your world and the epicenter. Like a shockwave of an explosion, the closer the world's to the center is, the more affects it has. While the world's farthest from the epicenter experiences lesser serious effects IE; power outages or animals suddenly crying out in alarm." As Jimmy explains this, he presses a button on Goddard's screen which shows the pink blob loosing energy the farther it traveled from the center of its origin.
"You know now that you mention it. My alarm clock was flashing earlier and the dogs were barking earlier this morning." Timmy recalled.
"Didn't help that Cosmo joined in." Wanda stated, recalling on Cosmo turning into a dog, go up to the window and howled with the dogs.
"I couldn't help the call of the wild. The tunes were too good." Cosmo defended himself. The song he and the other dogs sung to the neighborhood had been golden. They should form a band from how good they were, they could call themselves Cosmo and the Hounds.
"So" Timmy began again, looking more closely to the screen. "What other worlds got affected by the glitch? You know the ones that are closer."
Looking at the screen himself with a very critical eye, Jimmy gave his answer. "Seems like Spongebob's as well as two other unknown worlds have been hit."
"Where did Spongebob end up?" Timmy asked in which Jimmy could only shrug. "Unknown I'm afraid. Hopefully he's alright by not ending up on any hostile world."
"I hope so to." Spongebob is such a nice guy, it'll be a big shame if he ended up in a place filled with lava, tornadoes, monsters, evil overlords, or worse an army of pirates. So hopefully he's alright and happy where ever he ended up, which leads to the next question. "One more question. Why did you end up in my world?"
"I think it's because our worlds are seemly close with each other. You notice how we were amongst the first of our interdimensional friend group to meet up or how easy it is to connect are two worlds." Jimmy further explained. "Have anymore questions?"
"Not really." Timmy admitted. "Now I'm guessing you want me to help you poof ya back home."
"No"
That answer caught Timmy off guard. "What?"
"I'm afraid that this glitch in the multiverse is something more than a hiccup. I can only theorize that something terrible is happening and we gotta figure out what it is." Looking at Timmy, Jimmy took notice of the face he was giving him.
"Uh we?" He repeated as he pointed at himself.
"Yes we. I know how much you like adventures, plus it can give us a chance to look at the area in-between dimensions." Jimmy has always theorized that in-between all the dimensions, laid a place that's filled with nothingness and that it all lead up to a epicenter that maintains every single dimension. Seeing it or the void himself would absolutely be the greatest scientific discovery in history.
"Yeah. I love adventuring as much as the next guy, but I really wasn't planning on leaving my world today." Don't get him wrong, Timmy would've enjoyed the experience as it's probably awesome to enter a place in-between dimensions, but he really didn't want to listen to Jimmy's science mumble jumble during the journey.
"Oh Timmy!" His dad's voice suddenly called to him from outside his window. Going over to the window, he looks to see his parents in bee keeping outfits smiling up at him. "Me and your mother are going off to the Bee Keepers convention for free honey, so your going to spend the day with Vicky for the day."
Stepping aside in his trademark smile, Timmy's dad reveals Vicky looking up at Timmy with a more eviler grin as she waves up at him. It only took a second for Timmy to quickly change his mind. "On second thought. Who doesn't want to explore the unknown?"
"That's the spirit Timmy." Jimmy smiled.
"Yeah. Now let's get going before Vicky gets here." Timmy urged before turning to his fairies. "I wish that we were all far away from here."
"I know just the place." Cosmo happily stated as he and Wanda raised their wands up that with a simple poof. They transported them all out of Timmy's room.
Battle cries and the clanging of metal rang out from CatDog's yard as the turtles took the time to do some training. Master Splinter always told them that ninjas should always take the time to train in order to keep up their strength for the next battle.
From inside the house; CatDog watches as the turtles moved around with their weapons swinging around: Mikey is sparring with Donnie and Leo is sparring with Raph. "Boy. Look at them go Cat."
"They really make it delicate as they move around, though their table manners are something to be worked on." Cat remarked as lunch sure had been something, they came into their house where Cat asked his guests on what they would want for lunch? The answer was swift as the four turtles all answered with just one word.
Pizza
So they ordered in a couple of pizzas and those turtles dug into them like no tomorrow, especially the one in the orange mask who spilled some sauce and crumbs on Cat's clean carpet. After they were finished with their food, they let out some burps before going off to do their training. They all heavily reminded Cat of Dog when he is eating something.
"I never thought that I would actually be meeting real ninjas Cat. Just look at those moves." From outside; Leo jumped over Raph as he slash his sai at him, landing behind him Leo kicks towards his head only to get blocked by a wack from a hand. While nearby Donnie and Mikey exchanges blows with their nunchucks and staff as they block each other.
"It's very perfect for us." Cat smiled.
"What do you mean Cat?" Dog asked.
"Don't you see Dog. With these ninjas here our Greaser problems are over. We can finally walk around town without the fear of getting pounded on, it's absolutely terrific." Closing his eyes with a big grin, Cat happily imagines the turtles pounding the Greasers into the hospital. He would gladly watch it while sitting on a lawn chair with a bucket of popcorn.
A sudden slamming open of a door brings Cat out of his fantasy. Looking to the source of that sound, he saw that it was Winslow; the blue mouse that lives with them. "Hey-ya CatDog."
"Hi Winslow." Dog greeted as he jumped on to the couch and looked out the window, catching sight of the turtles moving around the yard. "Who the heck are these bandana wearing lizards?"
"They're the Ninja Turtles, Winslow." Dog kindly answered him. "Aren't they really neat with those moves of theirs."
"You better watch yourself rodent because the moment you pull something on us. We'll send those ninjas after ya." Cat mocked with a big cocky smile.
"Ninjas defending you two clowns. What are you nuts?" Winslow mocked with a laugh, much to the annoyance of Cat as he jumped off the couch and continues to laugh as he headed into the kitchen.
Ducking underneath a swing from Donnie's staff, Mikey raised himself back up and released a large burp right in Donnie's face. The putrid smell of garlic breath struck Donnie in full force, freezing him on the spot, dropping his staff as his eyes swirled around. "Sweet Darwin's beard!"
Swaying back and forth from the dizziness of the smell, Donnie collapsed backwards, feeling completely sick. All this time Mikey is doing a sweet victory dance. "Oh yeah! I got the moves like a python! You don't know when I'm going the strike! I could do in a split second or when lashing out! No one can beat the Mikey Python!"
Continuing on with his victory dance, Mikey doesn't pay no mind to the match going on between Leo and Raph. Like always their match with each other is more intense as Raph strikes his sai at the swinging katanas that clings and clang from each strike. Kicks and punches are soon exchange with Leo on the defensive end for like always Raph is the aggressor when it comes to dishing out his fists and feet.
Jumping with a flying kick, Leo struck Raph and sent him flying to a tree, Raph crashed against it with an audible thud as he fell at its base. Quickly getting himself off the tree, Raph releases a growl as he sent his brother a fiery glare. Releasing a loud yell, Raph charged at Leo in full speed.
He tackles him to the ground, where they both rolled around until Leo launched him off him, courtesy of placing his feet underneath his stomach. Raph crashes down near the pathway with a thud, rolling on to his stomach he then punches the grass for he hated losing.
With Raph down, it leaves only Mikey to face down. Swinging his nunchucks around, Mikey stares Leo down with a wide grin. "Think you can strike the python? The python can't be beat. The python's too quick. The python's too smart." Swinging his right nunchuck, Leo catches it with a simple raise of his katana that with one simple pull, he force the nunchuck out of Mikey's grip.
"The python also talks too much." Striking Mikey in the chest with a well placed kick, Leo knocks him to the ground, knocking the other nunchuck out of his grasp.
With all his brothers down, it leaves Leo as the overall victor of the sparring match. Placing the katana down like a cane next to him, Leo smirked at all of his brothers as they all got back up. "Well guys, I say that was a successful training session."
"Just you wait Leo. I'll get you next time." Raph stated with his fists clenched for he wanted to smack that smirk off a Leo's face. Donnie meanwhile had just gotten rid of the putrid stench of Mikey's breath out of his system, he made a very large mental note to make Mikey brush his teeth later today for all of their shakes. Other than that it was time to get down into business; getting the parts for the device that'll help them get back home.
"Alright so I located a place where we can collect some parts. We collect them now, I can begin building on the device."
"Great. So where do we find them?" Leo asked.
Pulling out his T-phone, Donnie taps into it just to clarify the location. "In a local department store in town."
"One problem though. We don't have any money." Raph pointed out, they couldn't exactly get anything without any money and they weren't going to steal anything.
"We can borrow some money from CatDog." Mikey suggested before throwing a smoke bomb and disappears from sight once the smoke clears.
Appearing in CatDog's living room in another flash of purple smoke, Mikey nonchalantly waves at CatDog who are both taken by surprise by his sudden appearance. "Yo, my CatDog bros. Can you lend us some cash?"
"Sure thing Mikey." Dog goes to get some cash, but a firm hand on his shoulder stopped him from doing so. With being more sensible of the two, Cat wasn't just going to give their hard earn money away without knowing why. "What do you want our money for?"
"To buy the parts we need for Donnie's machine thing." Mikey replied, he really didn't know the name of it yet, so it's the next best thing to call it.
"In that case." Dog launched himself off the couch before Cat could stop him and at the same time Cat yelped as Dog dragged him to a piggy bank on a small desk, crashing into a couple of things as Dog makes sharp turns, until slamming to the floor once Dog stopped to pick up the piggy bank. He removes the bottom cork of the piggy bank, Dog then shakes it around until two twenties came out of it.
"Here you go Mikey." Handing him the twenty, Mikey raises up another smoke bomb.
"Thanks dude. We'll be back later." Throwing it to the floor, Mikey once again disappears in a cloud of purple smoke.
Now that they have some money for the shopping trip. The turtles headed for the department store and without the Shellraiser with them, they retorted to the next best way of traveling by running on the top of rooftops. Although they didn't need to stick to the shadows in this world, the turtles felt more comfortable on running and jumping on the rooftops, besides it's a lot more faster than walking on the streets and also a lot more fun.
The turtles finally land themselves on top of a rather tall building that looked down at the department store with the rather large parking lot. The store itself is a big cube shape building made out of bricks with a very large, flashing sign on it that read: Rancid Rabbit's Emporium of Stuff and Junk!
"Nice name for a store." Raph sarcastically remarked for really who would name a store that? I mean seriously.
"I'm wondering why a store of that size would need such a huge parking lot?" Donnie question while scratching his head for the parking lot stretched for two miles and it was surprisingly filled up with rows of cars, vans, or trucks.
Leo agreed with Donnie on the parking lot, but ultimately that was just a minor distraction to their overall mission. "Grabble up guys. We're going shopping."
Raising his grappling hook along with his brothers, they all shot their hooks which all wrapped around a light post near the front of the store. They then slide themselves down and landed perfectly with a couple of somersaults. Having themselves now on the ground the turtles headed into the store, where they were greeted by a green rabbit in a blue business suit. "Welcome to Rancid Rabbit's Emporium of Stuff and Junk. A guarantee place to satisfy your shopping needs."
"Thanks bro." Turning to face his brothers, Mikey pointed to the smiling rabbit. "Isn't he a swell one."
"I don't know." Raph muttered as they walked further into the store. "Gotta a bad vibe going on with that rabbit." Glancing back at him from the corner of his eye, Raph just has the feeling that rabbit was putting on a fake, friendly smile to customers and was more interested in their money.
Entering the first aisle, the turtles stopped in the middle of it as Donnie gave them each a small list of the parts they needed to collect. "Alright if we want to be quick during this shopping trip. We'll each go in separate directions. It's very imperative that we stay focus on the task, so we mustn't get distracted by anything."
Aiming at Mikey during the last part of his sentence, Donnie along with Leo and Raph looked to their younger brother with serious glares to be absolutely sure that he completely understood that. Mikey meanwhile blinks at them blankly as he gazes at them separately before finally giving them all two thumbs up with a smile.
Trusting in his judgement that Mikey will hopefully wouldn't get distracted, Leo firmly nodded to his brothers. "Move out."
Hearing the word all the turtles went off to collect the items on Donnie's list.
Moving through the back of the store in search of the items, Mikey made sure to keep a constant reminder on his mission within his mind. "Don't get distracted. Don't get distracted. Don't get distracted. Don't get-"
Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Mikey had found himself in front of the frozen dessert aisle, which immediately got Mikey all puppy eyes and a open mouth full of droll. His stomach practically demanded for some ice cream as it roared loudly. "Hmmm. Must get ice cream."
Raising up his hand, Mikey firmly slapped himself in the face to snap himself out of his daze. "No! Must stay focus!"
Looking back up to the desserts that seemed to be calling out to him. Mikey lifted his leg to move towards them. "But I must get ice cream."
Quickly stopping himself, Mikey forces himself to turn around, holding onto his head of this dire dilemma. "Must stay focus."
Turning back to the ice cream at this point, Mikey's eye twitched crazily for he could feel his willpower breaking. He utterly screamed as he couldn't take it anymore.
Walking amongst the appliances, Raph has already collected a few items that he is holding onto tightly in his arms. All he needed now was just a egg beater and then he'll be done with this list. "Egg beater? Egg beater?"
Raph scans around the shelves very carefully as the egg beater could be anywhere within these aisles. Not being able to find it so far frustrated him a bit as all the stuff he's carrying is really starting to tire his arms. "C'mon! Where's that stupid egg beater."
Going down a couple more aisles with no luck of finding a egg beater. Raph is about to call it quits when like a shinning treasure, he finally finds one on the top shelf. "Finally."
Reaching up to the beater, Raph smiled in relief. He grabs hold of it along with another hand that grabbed it at the exact same time. Surprised by the unexpected other hand grabbing hold of his beater, Raph looked down to the hand's owner and found himself staring into the eyes of that dog in the leather jacket, he socked in the face earlier today.
"You!?" They both said at the same time.
"Well if it isn't the turtle in the mask." He mocked in a growl.
"Well if it isn't the lard butt, I socked earlier." Raph retorted back with a grin as he watched the dog fume over that reminder.
"You made a huge mistake on messing with the Greasers. Turtle boy. We, especially me can really put the hurt on ya, until your shell's bruised." Raising his fist up, Cliff shook it in front of Raph who wasn't afraid in the slightest.
"Oh please. I can beat you with one arm behind my back. Your nothing more than some street thug who thinks that he can push others around. Let me tell you something pea brain, you can't push this turtle around." Having raise his own fists, Raph eagerly showed that he's willing to fight him until he completely clobbered his sorry butt.
"I'll show you a street thug!" Swinging his fist at Raph, intending to mess up that ugly green face. A quick set of reactions kicked in, Raph dropped the items onto the floor, then uses his sais to catch his opponents oncoming fists, then swiftly turns his back to Cliff and flips him right over him and right down to the floor on his back with a huge slam.
Groaning in pain from the force of that slam, Cliff slowly sits himself up in a brief daze before shaking himself back into focus on the turtle who stood smugly above him. Growling from the feeling of complete humiliation on getting flipped over so easily like some wimp such as CatDog. Cliff gets back up on his feet and then with a fierce roar of rage, he charges at the turtle, who charges at him in a similar roar of rage.
Wandering over to the electronics with his own items in a basket. Donnie found himself looking at the many electronics that were outdated in his dimension. For instance he couldn't remember a time when he saw someone using those blocky cellphones or non-flat TV sets with antennas on the top, other than theirs back in the lair.
Overall the tech is very fascinating for he could spend hours on retweaking their circuits and wires into a new invention or making them work even better than before. The possibilities are endless with a turtle with a genius mind like him.
Walking along further into the next aisle, Donnie is soon laying his eyes on other kinds of tech that could only exist in cartoons as they either have unnecessary extra buttons, dish relays sticking out from the tops, speakers the size of rooms along with TV'S, and CD players only an alien species could figure out on how to operate them.
"I have died and gone to technogeek heaven." He practically drooled.
These non-sensible pieces of technology would be very fascinating to study, plus upon further thinking about it, the wires inside them would help with his machine, along with several of those circuit boards. Donnie could hardly contain himself as he rushes to every tech he saw and placed what he needed in his basket, totally geeking out as he grabbed hold of the fancy tech.
Collecting the last item on his list, Leo confidently nodded to himself for he has done it. After searching through most of the store for Donnie's items, Leo has finally done it and now if his brothers have collected their items, they can all head on back to CatDog's house to begin work on the device.
Heading his way to the front of the store, Leo suddenly comes upon an elderly, cat woman trying in vain to reach up for a jar of jam. She is on her tiptoes and her arm is stretched out to its limit, he could hear her grunting from how much straining she's doing. Leo just couldn't stand here and watch her struggle like that, so he swiftly went on over and handed her the jar.
"Here you are mam." He gently remarked with a kind smile.
The elderly woman smiles happily as she took the jar of jam out of Leo's hand. Turning to him with a grateful smile, the woman holds the jar close to her chest. "Thank you young man. I almost cracked my hip upon reaching that jar."
"It's no problem mam. I'm happy to help."
"Well aren't you a nice turtle. You know there are not a lot of youngsters these days who wouldn't help out a old fella like me. Why it reminds me of back in the day when movie pictures only costs a few quarters." The elderly woman began as Leo kept up his smile. He could tell that he was going to be here for awhile as he couldn't just leave during the woman's story as that would be very rude and Master Splinter made it very clear to him and his brothers to always respect their elders.
Finally after spending a hour roaming around the store, the turtles all meet up at the checkout lane having everything on Donnie's list, including Mikey who has successfully manage to stop himself from stacking his arms with ice cream containers. Donnie's basket is full of that tech he's been eyeing, and Raph proudly has the egg beater firmly in his hands with only one bruise on his arm, which was nothing compared to the beat down he gave to Cliff, who's head is stuck in a painting of a donkey, right in the rear end.
"So we have everything we need, right Donnie?" Leo asked his brother after looking over all the things they've collected during their time in the store.
"I say we have. I'll be able to start working on the device with all this stuff the moment we get back, especially with all this interesting tech I've found at the electronics." Glancing around at all the things they've collected himself, Donnie gets a bit worried. "I hope we can afford all this stuff."
"Relax bro. We got two twenties with us." Mikey assured, which didn't do anything but worry Donnie more as there is no way that a mere forty dollars is going to afford all of this.
Reaching the checkout at last, the turtles place their items on the conveyor belt where Rancid Rabbit gladly scanned them all to the the last item, which was the egg beater. After placing that last item in a bag, Rancid happily pushed in the overall total on the cash register that dings ten thousand dollars to the very much shocked turtles.
"Ten thousand dollars!" Raph screamed at the top of his lungs, while nearly fainting from the price.
"There's no way all this stuff is this much." Donnie protested as the math didn't add up at all.
"Sorry boys. But here at Rancid Rabbit's Emporium of Stuff and Junk. All items are up at a full price over the value of the items." With a smug smile, Rancid extends his hand out for the money.
"But all we have are two twenties." Mikey said meekly as he pulls out the two twenties that only earned a frown to spread across Rancid's face. "Then get out! You no good bums!"
"Bums!" Giving the rabbit a harsh glare over the little insult, Raph had a visible vain twitching on his neck as he leaned himself forward to him. "I'll show you a bum right up your furry little-"
"What my brother means is." Donnie quickly stepped in. "We really need this stuff for a device we're trying to build, so perhaps it's not so bad to suggest a discount." With a grin showing his gap teeth, Donnie hoped it's enough to give them a much more affordable price, although he very much doubted it in the back of his mind.
"Sorry" Rancid mockingly replied with that smile. "Store policy, but there is one way of getting these things."
"And what's that?" Leo hesitantly asked.
The smile grew even wider, clearly anticipating that question from one of them. "Become my new employees with very little pay and maybe I'll give you these items."
"What sort of logic is that?" Donnie question for he never heard of that one before. It's definitely blackmail though there's no denying that.
"Forget it rabbit! There's no way we're going to become your slaves!" Raph snapped with a aggressive finger pointing at Rancid who frowns over that answer. "Then get your shell's out of here!"
"We're leaving! But we're taking those items!" Raph shouted, getting in his face.
"Then your under arrest for stealing." Pulling out a flashy badge, Rancid smugly waves it in front of Raph's face.
"Oh snap! Your a cop!" Mikey exclaimed with his hands on his face.
"That's right. I'm the local sheriff in this town as well as the mayor." Rancid smugly explained to them.
"You're a sheriff and mayor who works in a department store?" Leo question.
"I got a lot of jobs in this town. It takes a lot of talent to do all of them." He explained further rather proudly, before going back to business. "Anyway put your hands behind your backs and get ready for a hard life behind bars."
"Not if you can't catch us. Booyakasha!" Throwing a smoke bomb, a large purple cloud covered the turtles as Rancid reacted by turning away, coughing loudly as he waved the smoke away from his face. Once the smoke cleared the turtles as well as all of the items were gone, angering Rancid greatly for no one leaves without paying. He'll get those turtles and place them all behind bars for eternity.
Having escaped from the store with their items in their hands. The turtles returned to CatDog's house, gently placing their bags down near the crooked tree as they all looked back to the town in the distance. This is bad, they've stolen these items and now the law is going to be coming after them.
"Donnie. I hope you can be quick on making that device for I don't know how long we have until the police arrives." Leo told his brother as he quickly took out several items from the bags.
"I'll try, but it's going to take awhile. Although we wouldn't be in this mess, if we didn't shoplift!" Donnie shouted.
"Hey that rabbit is a clear scammer! I was going to completely punch him in the face." Raph completely hated that smug looking face on that rabbit, it was so mocking to all of them.
"Oh man dudes! We're fugitives! We'll have to go on the run across the country on a train, look behind our backs in fear of the law dropping the hammer on us! Wear disguises! Then live in a completely different country with new identities!" Mikey would of continue on in his rabbling if it weren't for Raph slapping him on the forehead, effectively shutting him up.
"Look. I'll keep on look out, while Donnie works on that machine." Raph stated to them before leaping on up to a tree branch that's in a perfect position of looking down at the road leading up to the house. Below him meanwhile Donnie began his work on the construction of the device while both Leo and Mikey went to hide behind some bushes to ambush the cops and rabbit just in case they show up here before Donnie is finished.
"Fingers don't fail me now!" Frantically Donnie worked on pulling a remote apart to get to the wires. Hoping in vain that he'll be finish with it before the cops show up to arrest them all.
He would look absolutely terrible in stripes.
