I don't own any of this all of the Nicktoons belongs to Nickelodeon.
Tapping his foot against the sidewalk directly across the street of PS118. Lincoln waited patiently for school to be over before he finally took notice of the readers. "Oh hey there. It's certainly been awhile hasn't it. You've probably been wondering on what I have been up to during this whole time and most importantly why I'm standing in front of the school. Well for the first question, I simply have been hanging about with Arnold and his friends, while still trying to figure out on a way to get back home. I have to admit that so far my efforts on doing that has unfortunately been a big failure. I just can't figure out a way, plus to make it even harder for me. I still didn't tell anyone about my situation for very obvious reasons, but I won't give up however. I will find a way home, I just don't know how yet."
"Now as for the second question. Since I'm not registered in that school, I can't go in there and since I don't have any money to spend my entire day out in the city. I have no other choice but to wait for school to end and for everyone to come on out and trust me, it's not exactly a fun way to spend your day. Thankfully for me though, school is almost over for the day, so if you can now excuse me I need to get myself ready to meet up with my new friends." Turning back to face the school, Lincoln now has the chance to think to himself.
He does admit that this city is a very nice place to live in with very nice people, with only a few exceptions such as the Jolly Olly man. But he suppose that's only natural to run into a few nasty people as Royal Woods has some very good examples, so it didn't really deter Lincoln that much. Besides Arnold's friend group more than makes up for it as they're fun to hang out with, even if some, (like Helga), are not so friendly either.
Arnold's house is also a very lively place. Okay not as much as his house that's for sure, but it still has a good number of people living there like: Mr. Potts; a short man who's in the demolition business that he's very passionate about, Mr. Hyunh; a man from Vietnam who works at a local taco restaurant, Susie; a blond hair woman who has a lot of shifts to support not only her but also her husband Mr. Kokoshka, who's clearly a freeloader with a personality very close to Flip.
The boarders are overall a very mix match of characters with a very similar chaotic feel to his own home, though not as much he admits, but still semi close enough to make Lincoln feel somewhat at home. That being said, it only made Lincoln miss his home even more. Oh how he could almost see his sisters rushing down the stairs for the TV remote, where they will all then fight for it until someone is victorious.
Speaking of his family. They must be really worried over him by now, they probably have missing posters of him on every single power pole, fence, store, and street light in town. It wouldn't even surprise him that much if they have also posted missing posters on every social media site their sign up on. That's how much he knew on how worried they must be over his sudden disappearance, why he also bet that Lisa is using her personal connections to search the whole entire world for him.
He needed to get back not just for their sakes, but also his as he's very worried as well. The very state of the Loud House must be in severe dismay without him being there; all his sisters hobbies laying dormant from Luna's guitar laying inside it's guitar case, to Mr. Coconuts collecting dust and spiderwebs as he sat on his chair with that blank expression with his mouth slightly open as down in the living room, the very depressed Loud family sat ideally with no chaos, loudness, or any color on their faces, even for Lucy it would be too much darkness and sadness.
Him getting back home will absolutely fix everything. The house will be back to it's lively self and everyone in his family will be back to their usual selves as they all embraced him in a group hug. The thought of it made a warm smile form on his face as the school bell finally rang, signalling the end of a long school day for everyone in PS118.
Coming up to the stairs, Lincoln stood on the side as groups of cheering kids ran out of the school and pass him. He didn't have to search very hard for both Arnold and Gerald as Arnold's head and Gerald's hairstyle is very noticeable amongst the crowd. "Hey guys."
"S'up Lincoln." Going up to him, Gerald gives him a fist pump.
"You had a interesting day Lincoln?" Arnold asked.
"Um, yeah. I had a very good day." Lincoln lied. He couldn't let them know that he's just been standing across the street waiting for them all day. It sounded weird and a bit sad to say the least. "So you guys ready for that big football game we're suppose to have today?" He then asks in a way to divert the question.
"You know it. I've been practicing my throwing arm all recess. I feel very confident over our chances." Gerald declared.
"And I have a foolproof strategy plan on how to do it." Arnold happily added.
"That's great. Well, we better get going then." Now Lincoln wasn't best known for his athletic skills as his time playing football clearly showed, but he's willing to try it with his new friends. Besides he didn't have his handy Game Gear equipped with him, so he had no other choice in the matter.
"Wow! Ninja turtles. This reminds me of the dream I had, where we fought the evil monkeyman from the ninth dimension." Patrick reminisces with a smile.
"Whoa dude. I had the exact same dream. Does that mean we're dimensional, dream buddies!" Mikey exclaimed in wonder.
"It must mean it!" Patrick shouted loud enough to have spit come flying out of his mouth.
"Well you two quit screaming. My ears are hurting." Raph remarked with a hand over his left ear. It's been only a few short seconds since the turtles and the group met up with each other after their recent battle with the Krang. Both of them stare at each other in bewilderment as four ninja turtles is not what they were expecting, while the turtles themselves didn't know what to make of the sponge, starfish, beaver tooth boy in the pink hat with the two beings floating above him, a boy with the ice cream shape hairstyle, then the guy with the white hair with a goth girl and guy in the red hat by both his sides, and finally the glowing individuals. They certainly weren't from Dimension X from what they know, so how did they get here? And what was their deal with the Krang?
Placing his katanas back on their straps, Leo stares at them with a bit of suspicion as it's best to be cautious when it comes to meeting a large group of unfamiliar people. "What are you doing in Dimension X?"
"We're here to figure out the plot of these aliens?" Jimmy replied honestly, he takes notice of the suspicion in the turtle's voice, so it's best to be honest in order to gained them as allies for they can certainly use their fighting skills.
"Hey that's a coincidence." Mikey spoke up. "So are we."
"Wait a minute, so the Krang's plans are in different dimensions?" Raph remarked with a cock of his eyebrow as that's definitely new.
"Hmmm. I don't like that. As Krang activity in other dimensions just spells trouble." Looking over to Jimmy who Donnie successfully deduced is the brains of this group, he figures that he could explain further on what's going on. "Tell me. What are the Krang doing in your world?"
"Not my world actually, but Danny's." Jimmy corrected as he motions his hands over to Danny, who is still looking at the turtles in bewilderment. "But to simply answer your question. The Krang have been kidnapping ghosts for unknown purposes."
"Ghosts? That's very new of them." Donnie remarked as he thought about this very unexpected development over the Krang's plot.
"It sounds like you know a lot about them." Timmy stated.
"Unfortunately yes." Leo replied with a bit of a sigh. "We face them on a regular basis back on the streets of New York. Stopping them from mutating the Earth into a new Dimension X. They may not speak greatly, but as you all very well know they are extremely dangerous."
"Wait mutate?" Sam repeated in alarm as that sounded like something that'll harm the environment.
"Yes. They're mutators who conduct experiments on various living or nonliving things with mutagen in order to perfect it. Although the mutagen can also affect foods or vehicles as long as someone is touching them. In a way, the Krang are the ones responsible for our creation." Donnie explained.
"What's mutagen exactly?" Tucker asks as he never seen real mutagen before.
Simply pointing over to the tube behind him, Donnie slightly turned his head to address the tube. "It's that's stuff. It's highly dangerous, so whatever you do don't touch it."
"Firmly noted." Jimmy nodded. Now it's time to get back to the more important business at hand. "Let's check out one of those computers shall we."
"Fully agree."
Heading over to a computer, Jimmy looked at it thoughtfully as he never seen anything like it. There's no keyboard installed, instead when he places his fingers on the panel, the small pink squares would move. He could barely figure out if he was even doing anything. Suddenly he felt himself get bumped out of the way as Mikey swiftly took control of the computer. "No worries dude. I got this."
Moving his hands around randomly on the panel, the computer lit up with various displays. It very well stunned Jimmy as he had did it with no problem. "How?"
Feeling a hand suddenly land on his shoulder, Jimmy looked up to Raph who only shook his head. "Trust me. You don't want to ask him."
Mikey moves his fingers more randomly on the panel, causing various screens to come up, until one caught Leo's full attention. "Hold up Mikey. What's that?"
Coming up on full display, everyone looked perplexed as a massive ship with a large ring on its side is shown in full detailed blueprints with a name on the top right side of the screen. "Airship Of Doom"
"Airship Of Doom? What kind of a name is that?" Raph remarks very perplexed for the Krang would never allow that name to fly.
"Sounds like something the Box Ghost would make up." Danny stated non impressed as the name itself is so very cliche. Who in the world would actually name a ship that?
Diabolically laughing for what has now been eleven straight minutes. Zim stood in the the cannon's control room with the other villains as this was it, the big test fire that he's been dreaming of for months now, ever since the earliest developments of the ship that he himself so gladly named. It's just a big shame that the big man himself isn't here for he had decided to watch this glorious event from the comfort of his chambers.
"So are you sure that this will work? I came here to watch some glorious destruction and I don't want to be ripped off." Plankton declared after finally having enough of Zim's laugh.
"I rest assure you. My brilliant design of the weapon is far more complex than whatever you can create tiny, inferior amoeba. The Airship Of Doom will fire at its intended target, the beam will destroy it, right along with whatever is in the resulting explosions path." Yes. These inferior Earth monkeys will utterly blow their small brains out, once they witness the raw power of this thing.
"Overconfidence of ones weapon is a fatal flaw to behold." Shredder spoke with a glare to the alien that only got ignored as Zim approached the nearest Krang manning the controls and pointed dramatically forward, while yelling out in a deep voice.
"PREPARE TO FIRE!"
Pushing a few buttons on a console, a targeting screen lits up in front of them. Showing them all their intended target.
From in his chambers; the boss watched in satisfaction as this universe's Jupiter spun slowly next to the right side of the ship.
Grinning in absolute glee, today has finally arrived and he has front row seats to watch it all.
Studying the ship's blueprints carefully together; Donnie and Jimmy widen their eyes in horror from every single weapon emplacement on this thing. This battleship the Krang have been building is terrifying as it has enough firepower to reduce an entire city into a crater to the size of Chicxulub. The thing also has enough hangers to contain thousands of Stealth Ships, but what got their most concern is that large ring. They just gotta figure out on what it does?
Behind them, the others just watched on in dread from their own studying of the airship. Though Youngblood couldn't help but be a bit jealous as not only was it bigger than his ship, it's also very decked out with weapons that utterly puts his to shame.
Pushing in levers, buttons, and dials on their assign consoles. The Krang right along with the villains hear several humming and roaring sounds that indicated the cannon is being warmed up as each individual system turned on.
"Leaping Jupiter."
"What is it Jimmy?" Danny asked in alarm for he didn't like the nervous tone in Jimmy's voice.
Turning to face him with great fright in his eyes, Jimmy immediately replied to Danny. "The ghosts are being transported there."
"Wait what?" Johnny remarked confused.
"Why are our fellow ghosts being taken to that metal monstrosity?" PointDexter asked as that's a very strange place to take ghosts to.
"They're using them as power sources." Jimmy answered him gravely.
The ghosts widen their eyes at that. Power source? The whole reason those Krang have been kidnapping them is for energy sources like some batteries! It's very outrageous! It makes them all even more angry at the Krang.
Having feel the dangerous aurora coming out from the ghosts. Sam made a wise decision to take a good few sidesteps away from them before asking a question herself. "Um, what exactly are they using those ghosts to power up?"
"To put it simply." Donnie spoke up before pointing to the ring. "It's to power up that thing."
"What is it?" SpongeBob worryingly asked as he didn't like where this is going.
"It's a cannon."
None of the original ghosts who have been brought into this tube prison have absolutely no idea on how long it has been since they've been brought here, it could of been days or weeks. Yet, if there's one thing they knew is that those aliens have been busy as they have brought in more ghosts like clockwork for every passing hour.
Another thing is that their arms and legs have fallen asleep due to not moving for a long period of time. They also found their imprisonment to be incredibly boring as they had nothing to do, but stare out to the room and watching those Krang manning the controls. If only they could free themselves, then things could finally get interesting.
Suddenly much to their surprise their tubes lit up, then they all experience a bad shock as their ghostly energy gets sucked out through the top, traveled on through the wires all the way into the main wire, where it then travels up through the hole. All this stolen energy goes directly into the cannon, who's outer ring suddenly lit up, fallowed shortly by the inner ring in a light pink color.
Then came a crackling sound as pink electricity shoots out into the center, forming a large ball that came up to the size of the ring itself. The ball of electricity fires into a wide pink beam that moved through space up to the speed of light.
"So that's a cannon?" Timmy nervously pointed out.
"Unfortunately it is and from what I managed to pick up through these readouts. It's the main weapon for it." Donnie said with a crack in his voice for he has never seen anything like it before.
"Let me take a wild guess." Raph spoke up with his arms across against his chest with a very unamused glare. "It destroys planets doesn't it." That's what weapons of these sizes usually do. It's villain 101 to make something powerful enough to destroy entire planets.
"It doesn't." Jimmy stated almost silently due to how much dread he's getting after each information he read on this thing.
The beam shoots harmlessly pass the asteroid belt, Mars, Earth, and Venus as it continues on its course towards the intended target.
"If it doesn't destroy planets. Then what does it destroy?" Danny hesitantly asked, not really sure if he wanted to hear that answer.
Turning away from the computer, both Jimmy and Donnie looked to the awaiting group in complete terror before finally answering at the same time.
"It destroys stars."
Striking the center of the sun. The beam crackles electricity around the star as a chain reaction immediately began. Solar flares shoots out everywhere as the sun itself pulses in and out quickly from the fatal shot it took.
Sitting on the side benches as he waited patiently for his turn to come up. Lincoln watched the football game thoughtfully as Eugene ran towards a goal with so much joy as he's actually going to make a goal.
Only for him to get tackled to the ground by Harold, Stinky, Sid, Curly, and Helga in one big pile up. "I'm ok."
The football game has been going on for a good half an hour now and so far Arnold's team which had: Lincoln, Gerald, Ronda, Eugene, and Brainy has a pretty even score with Helga's team who has: Harold, Phoebe, Curly, Sid, Stinky, and Nadine.
They've been playing this game in this empty lot the kids happily called Gerald Field, a name in which serves no real mystery on who came up with the name as Lincoln has a pretty good idea on who it was. The game's been fun he had to admit, although he is pretty dirty from each tackle he took. But that wasn't going to stop him from helping Arnold's team win this game.
"Alright Lincoln your up!" Gerald called out to him as they all got back into position. Getting up from the bench, Lincoln's spot is replaced by Ronda who pulls out her nail filer in order to get the dirt out from underneath her fingernails before she goes up again.
Meanwhile Lincoln gets himself into position right in-between Brainy and Eugene as on the opposite side of the field, Harold held the ball with Helga right behind him, ready to start the next game. "32, 14. 24, hut! Hut!"
Harold gives her the ball and then charged at Gerald, blocking him in as Helga moved back to throw the ball over to Sid who ran towards the opposite goal as Gerald goes to block the throw. This was when everything got strange as right as Helga threw the ball, every single telephone pole across the street suddenly erupted in bright sparks. That wasn't all that happened as every single light post blew out their bulbs, shattering their glass everywhere.
These sudden events spooked the children as they all stopped their game and watched the telephone poles continue to spark out. "What's going on!? I want my mommy!" Harold cried out for this is too scary for him. It frighten him even more as the cry of car alarms and calls for alarm rang out across the entire city.
Through this mayhem, Sid glances up to the sky where he took notice of the sun doing something very peculiar as it's visibly pulsing like a heart, while it also seemed to be growing in size rather quickly. "What's up with the sun?"
From the bench on Helga's side, Phoebe who at the time had been reading her book before all this mayhem took place. Looks up to the sun with her hand shielding her eyes. She goes very stiff as the sun is doing something that it's not supposed to be doing until the next billion years of its lifecycle. "Oh dear. The sun is going into its red giant phase."
The air around them is now getting hotter by each passing second, so hot that they all began to sweat rapidly as everything goes all wavy in their sights. All the while the sun grew more larger in the sky, evaporating the clouds from the ever growing heat that has now started to spark fires as well as melting the Jolly Olly man's entire stock of ice cream.
The heat is also enough to make Lincoln and the others collapse onto the brown grass. His wrist lands last with the watch landing on its bottom, pushing down on the green button. Arnold didn't know what happened next, but when he slowly turned to face Lincoln with his dryed up, mummy like face, Lincoln completely disappears in a green flash of light.
For some reason through his great agony. Arnold has the happy feeling that Lincoln had found his way back home.
The red giant completely engulfs the Earth, leaving nothing behind as it continues to expand out all the way to Mars. Only just stopping a few distances away from the red planet, heating it up greatly.
From their safe distance on the ship. The villains watched the whole thing with a variety of emotions in deep silence.
Actually seeing the weapon's capability in action, exceeded all of their expectations of what they saw in their minds. In fact, it blows their minds as well from the beauty that the red giant expelled from the right amount of colors and the solar flares that continues to shoot out from it. Even Shredder has to admit that it's impressive, if this thing can cause this amount of destruction with just one shot, it's not hard for him to imagine his enemies trembling underneath it before their brutal demise.
Zim however is proudly smiling for all these Earth monkeys have truly witnessed the sheer brilliance of his ingenuity. They should be bowing down to his feet for his greatest feat in all of Irken history. "As you can see. The firepower of this vessel is greatly destructive, but it doesn't compare to when it reaches one hundred percent of it's full potential."
"So if it can do that at only 50%, what's it going to be like at a hundred?" Crocker asked after fully regaining himself.
"Well human, it'll destroy the star into a full on supernova. Leaving absolutely nothing left in any solar system. Truly glorious if I say so myself, I admit that it exceeded all my expectations." Zim gloated.
Back on the screen meanwhile; the red giant still erupted solar flares with most of them hitting Mars, which is really cooking from how close it is to the flaming ball, by now the ice caps have completely melted off in less than a few seconds. This amazes Vlad even more, he stood on the ultimate weapon that the multiverses has ever seen and he partially owned it. His dream of ruling both the Ghost Zone and Earth is going to come true once the cannon is in its full potential. He would have to double up in production for his dreams to finally come true.
By his side, all Crocker could think of is taking the ship to Fairy World and unleashing all of its weapons on the magical world, until they have no choice but to surrender under his rule. Then he'll get his revenge on every single person or animal that mocked and ridicule him. They'll pay for all those times they laughed at him in front of his face, even when he made his presence known. But by all else though, Turner is going to be on top of his list.
It's the same thought for Plankton as he gleefully imagines the Bikini Bottom in fiery ruins as stone statues of himself are placed all over the destroyed city, him on a large thrown, the Chum Bucket being the number one and only restaurant to go to, but most delicious is Krabs in rags being chained to the wall with the horrible torture of his money being slowly shredded in a snails pace in front of him.
The potential of this weapon is going to bring it all into reality. All they needed to do now is get it into a hundred percent, do a few more test fires on other unimportant universes, then they can finally bring it into one of their universes. Where they'll threatened world leaders to summit under their rules or else they'll feed their planets to a sun.
Their excitement of the power of this weapon is small in comparison to the boss man himself, who's grin is even wider as more sparks of red electricity zaps up above his head. "Everything is coming into place. Just as I planned."
Wickedly turning his gaze to the photo of his fallen enemies. His smile expanded outwards, fully exposing his white and yellow gab teeth. "Those fools that I've hired have no idea on what's really going on. While they're all distracted with their personal goals of petty domination. Their small compared to my personal goal with my brilliant creation. But I shall keep up with this ruse in order to keep their amusements up, but when it's time to pull off my plan. They won't even realize on what's going on to even react."
The combination of both the thought of his master plan and the sight of the red giant outside the window is enough to make him laugh loudly through out his chamber that echoed throughout the walls.
Coming out from the green light that ultimately saved him from certain burning death. Lincoln still felt hot, but definitely not nearly as hot as he felt only a few seconds ago.
Blinking a bit, Lincoln looks up and found himself staring at a volcano in the distance with a large, white sign built on the side of it just like the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
"Miracle City." Lincoln silently mumbled under his breath as he strains his eyes under the intense desert sun.
