I don't own any of this all of the Nicktoons belongs to Nickelodeon.
Walking around the bridge with hands behind his back. Crocker stopped right in the middle in order to watch the passing stars, while at the same time the Krang worked hard on navigating the ship at their assigned stations.
"Report"
"The ship, which is ridiculously called; the Airship Of Doom is almost in position at the planet called; Pluto."
Smiling to himself as he taps his fingers together, Crocker leans forward a bit in satisfaction. "Excellent. Soon will have another test fire and this time I'm ready for I, Denzel Crocker has made some popcorn for the occasion."
Suddenly pulling out a bag of popcorn from his back pocket, Crocker gleefully eats a handful while feeling like a little kid at the toy store. Already he can see the dwarf planet coming in more closer, it will only be a matter of time now for them to get in position.
But just then an alarm went off, alerting everyone on deck, especially Crocker, who went over to a couple of Krangs monitoring the scanners. "What's going on?"
"Scanners have picked up a vessel shaped like a human aquatic vehicle, known as boats."
"A boat?" Crocker repeated in disbelief. "You fried a circuit or have a brain freeze in those bodies of yours?"
"Have a look yourself." Pressing a button on the panel, a computer screen on the very top turns on to show them the ghostly pirate ship approaching them.
"Seems that we have some unwanted guests." Crocker deduced with the slight suspicion that Turner is somehow apart of this.
"Shall we start firing the long range turrets?"
"No, let's make this more entertaining. Fire the main cannon at them." Crocker smirked for this was his chance to finally be rid of that annoying Turner once and for all.
"As you wish the one called Crocker."
Turning away from them, Crocker moved to look out the bridge's window, but then paused in thought, considering something important that he really wanted to address. "By the way I forgotten to give you all something. F!" Suddenly slamming down a piece of paper with a large red F; onto the Krang droid's head. Crocker laughs crazily as he marched himself to the front of the bridge.
Lowering its droid's head, the Krang spoke in a low voice. "This makes Krang feel the emotion known as sadness."
"Holy chalupa! This thing sure is huge!" Mikey exclaimed as the dreaded ship is now even more closer than before, pretty soon it will fill up most of the windshield.
Beside Mikey, Lincoln stepped up in-between Sam and Tucker, utterly speechless by the mere sight of it. He had never seen anything like it before, besides in the sci-fi movies he loved to watch, but this was no movie; his world was very much at stake here. Oh boy, he wasn't even sure that these guys could even do anything against this thing. They might not be able to even leave a dent or any sort of scratch on its paintwork.
Lincoln clearly wasn't the only one to have doubts over the upcoming assault for Sam and Tucker are very much questioning themselves if they can even keep the outer defenses busy on them. Clearly it would've been a better idea to have an entire fleet of fighters right by their side for a much more better chance at this.
"So" SpongeBob spoke up at last while visibly shaking a bit. "Where are we going to land?"
"We land in the hanger closest to the cannon. It's the quickest way to reach both the core and wherever the ghosts are being held in." Jimmy declared as the ship grew even more closer.
Patrick just then pointed forward to the large ring that began to glow. "Hey what's that?"
Looking up at the ring, they all, especially Jimmy felt terror for that glow meant only one thing. "Brace yourselves!"
The cannon fires its deadly beam right at the pirate ship, striking it right in the middle, tearing the boat apart before exploding in a large fireball that completely engulfs the Spector Speeder.
The fireball clears slowly, where right out from it is not only the Spector Speeder, but also Danny, Jenny, the ghosts, and about a hundred starfighters with a pointed front, two wings with cannons at the end, and four engines. All together they race for the Airship Of Doom, who's defensive turrets immediately began firing at the incoming attackers, destroying two fighters while the others dodge the incoming fire.
For Danny, Jenny, and the ghosts it was easier to dodge them, unlike for their companions inside the Specter Speeder who have to rely on Sam and Tucker to weave and dodge the deadly lasers that nearly struck the ship more than once. The turret fire then grew even more intense when they finally reached a hanger, only some of the turrets moved in other directions in order to focus firepower on the starfighters, who all dispersed to begin their attack runs.
Entering the hanger; they are met with a dozen Krang droids, who all immediately began to fire their weapons at them. The Spector Speeder makes short work of these guys with just a few simple blasts, which also included all the present stealth ships situated in the hanger, leaving them nothing but burning wreckage.
With the hangar now cleared of any hostile enemies, the Specter Speeder lands smoothly, with Danny and his team landing on their feet. The smell of smoldering metal hits them, and shrill emergency alarms fill their ears.
"All hands on deck! All hands on deck! We are under attack! Go to your assign battle stations! This is not a drill! Repeat! This is not a drill!"
"We definitely got their attention now." Ember declared as she held her guitar in readiness for battle. Behind her, Youngblood gazed longingly at the drifting remains of his beautiful pirate ship, now reduced to a pile of smoldering wooden planks. It was barely recognizable as a pirate vessel anymore.
"My pirate ship. That was my most favorite toy in the whole Ghost Zone." Youngblood could feel his eyes watering as he lowered his head down over all the memories he shared with it; from his first voyage to taking it in search of the long lost treasure on Skulker's island.
"Can't you just make another one, friend?" Klemper asked him in comfort for at least not all is lost.
"That will take months." Youngblood whined before muttering under his breath. "Besides I loved that ship."
The Spector Speeder then opens up to let out SpongeBob, Patrick, the turtles, Jimmy, Lincoln, and Timmy. Raph looked out of the hanger just as a starfighter zoomed by firing its weapons, scratching his head, Raph slowly stops in his tracks. "Where the heck did these guys come from?"
"You can say a wish brought them all here." Timmy smugly stated for this was definitely a great wish to provide a excellent distraction for all of them.
"Okay. We all know what to do, so it's imperative that," Danny then finally took notice of Lincoln standing awkwardly amongst his friends, who right now is currently busy looking around the hanger then right at the wrecked alien ships. "Wait, who's this?"
"He's our new traveling buddy Danny. He came from a flashing green light." SpongeBob happily replied.
"Actually, he was traveling through the dimensional space to reach his home, which is in this universe, but our timely arrival here caused him to be transported into the Spector Speeder instead." Jimmy explained more fully.
This very much complicates things for all of them as the kid is very much out of his league here. Danny could easily tell that he has never been in a high tech villain battleship before. Danny wasn't even so sure if the kid could even fight, he could very well get blasted under the first few seconds of the next eventual fight.
"Alright listen kid. We got a very important mission to do and this place is crawling with aliens that will blast you upon seeing you. The best option is for you to stay in this hanger for we got this."
"What? But I want to be part of the action." Lincoln protested.
"Trust us Lincoln. You do not want to mess with the Krang for if they don't blast you. They may instead mutate you instead." Leo warned.
"And you could turn into something ugly. Just like Mikey over here." Raph remarked with a slight smirk.
"Hey!"
"Well, I don't want to be mutated." Lincoln admitted.
"Glad you can understand." Leo said, "Now without any further delay. Let's take this thing down." With that, they all raced out of the hanger, leaving behind Lincoln, Sam, Tucker, and more surprisingly Timmy.
"Um, aren't you going with them Timmy?" Tucker asked in confusion for he and Sam pretty much figured that he would be one of the first people to go out and fight some more Krang.
"Nah. I'm going to join the space battle." Timmy replied for it sounded much more exciting than just sneaking around.
"You sure about that? Don't wanna lie, but it's going to be pretty intense." Sam cautiously remarked for those turrets weren't stopping, plus they looked to be very accurate when it comes to firing.
"Exactly. I always wanted to be part of an awesome space battle. Besides with my video game skills, I'll be an absolute pro out there." He proudly stated with so much confidence, but if he is going to be participating in the outside battle, he is going to need an awesome starfighter of his own.
Turning to Cosmo and Wanda with an excited grin, Timmy dramatically raises his finger up as his voice echoes throughout the hanger. "I wish we had a awesome starfighter with great speed and is loaded with state of the art lasers and proton torpedoes."
"Done and done Timmy." Cosmo happily proclaimed as he along with Wanda raised up their wands. Nearby Lincoln watched in question, wondering what in the world is going on?
A big, puffy cloud poof from behind makes the white hair boy jump to the floor in startlement. Raising his upper self up, Lincoln looked back and is in complete disbelief for out from nowhere was a blue starfighter with three bubble shaped cockpits, a saucer like body with a visible turret on both the top and bottom. Lincoln couldn't even comprehend on what had just happened, when Timmy along with his two fairies rushed right passed him and stopped in front of their newly ready starfighter.
Out of all of them, Timmy is visibility the most excited for he can already see himself flying into battle just like Crash Nebula. "Now this is awesome! Thanks guys!"
"Your welcome sweetie, but do be careful out there Timmy. This isn't one of your video games where you can get an extra life or a continue." Wanda warned.
"It's complete hardcore mode! Just like this bag of spicy potato chips." Suddenly poofing a bag of chips in his hand, Cosmo happily tore open the bag and ate a couple of chips. Chomping down on them in a couple of chews, Cosmo's face then quickly turned red, which was quickly fallowed by a burp of fire breath. "Phew! Very spicy."
"Come on. We can't waste any time. The battle may be over by the time we get out there." Climbing himself up the starfighter, Timmy situates himself into the middle cockpit, while Cosmo took the left, and Wanda the right. Once all three of them were properly situated in their individual cockpits, the windshield hatches shuts down tightly, shortly fallowed by the engines humming to life.
Lifting itself up, Timmy's starfighter fallows the Spector Speeder out of the hanger. Completely leaving Lincoln alone in the now empty hanger, who in turn looks around carefully, wondering what to do to help? He didn't want to just stand here like some bystander, he really wanted to prove his worth to the group by doing something that will take this monster ship down.
But how he would do that? He doesn't know just yet, but being known as the man with the plan. Lincoln knew it will only be a matter of time before he finally figures out something.
The bridge is now buzzing with all sorts of activity as Crocker observed the sensors that showed the sudden fleet of starfighters, flying around the mid section of the ship just like a bunch of annoying house flies.
Crocker wasn't worried in the slightest for this ship is armed with the most heaviest, most powerful shields ever known to man. All their attacks would harmlessly be absorbed without leaving any scratches, they also didn't have to worry about them taking out the shields since they made the smart move on placing the shield generators inside the safety of the ship.
Overall, Crocker isn't scared about them causing any sort of damage. On the contrary, their defenses will make short work on getting rid of them.
"Lightning rod defenses are now online." A Krang spoke up from a console.
"Good. Fry them!" Crocker declared coldly.
Barrel rolling to avoid deadly turret fire. Timmy rights his starfighter up and flew right in-between two fellow starfighters as they skim the top surface of the airship, firing their cannons at whatever target came across their path.
Up ahead; three rods rose up, crackling in pink electricity.
"How pretty." Cosmo commented, feeling like a bug being drawn to a bright light.
Timmy however quickly recognizes the danger and pulls up just in the nick of time for as soon as he did, the rods fired their raw electricity and struck Timmy's accompanying starfighters; destroying one in a fireball, while the other one spun out of control before crashing against the surface.
"That was way too close Timmy. We should avoid getting too close to the surface. I can see more of those rods rising up." Wanda cautioned through a com-link.
"Agreed. Let's just stick with quick dive attacks." Turning the fighter around, Timmy uses the boosters to come in hot, firing in a full barrage right at a large disk antenna, all the while the electricity from those rods danced dangerously close to them.
Getting in more close, Timmy suddenly pulls away in a arch with the bottom just nearly scrapping against the top rim of the antenna that remains completely undamaged after Timmy's initial attack run.
"This may be a bit tougher than I thought." Suddenly swinging his fighter towards the large engines, Timmy figured that they may have a better chance with doing some real damage over there.
Not far away from the three. Sam and Tucker kept the Specter Speeder at a good distance as they turned it around for another pass. With the speeder being a much more larger target than Timmy's much more smaller and faster starfighter. The two had to keep the speeder at a much more farther distance, so that they wouldn't be so easily picked off by one of those turrets or lighting rods.
But once they were fully turn around, they had no problem with boosting their way at the airship. The Speeder shook and rocked as several turret blasts struck against it. "Ah! The armor is down fifty percent! If we're not more careful, we'll find ourselves being thrown out into the vacuum of space." Tucker cried out after the speeder violently shook again.
"Then concentrate on flying!" Sam retorted as she does a nose dive, where right after doing another turn. She flies them right towards the underside of the ship.
At about halfway there; small blue balls suddenly shot out from these pea sized hatches. They floated ideally for a mere moment, but then launched themselves in incredible speeds right at the approaching Speeder. Taking immediate evasive maneuvers, Sam and Tucker drive the Speeder away from the airship, but those blue balls reached them within seconds, where they all explode in a burst of energy that surged through the Speeder's electrical systems, shutting them all off; including the engines which completely leaves them drifting in space. Thankfully the life support system is still active, so they weren't suffocating in the airless, darkness of outer space.
Trying to restart the Speeder, Sam fiddles with the controls frantically. "What was that?"
"EMP. All of our systems are disabled." Tucker answered in dread as he quickly joins in on helping Sam with restarting the Speeder for with them drifting out here, they were nothing more than sitting ducks.
It's very suspenseful for them, especially since it seemed like that no matter what they did; the Speeder just wouldn't turn back on. The Speeder suddenly shook very violently, knocking them both off their feet. Looking up after recovering themselves, they both see a large dent on the roof that was most likely caused by a blast from a turret. All it took now was just a few more blasts and they'll be done for.
Going into complete survival mode by now. They both scrambled back to the controls and began fiddling with them again with more urgency this time.
"Come on. Come on." Sam desperately pleaded, but nothing happened. Growling out of frustration, she punches her fist down hard on the controls, which then immediately and very unexpectedly came humming back to life, surprising them both.
"Well that worked." Tucker stated.
Retaking their seats, they quickly flew the Speeder back into the face of battle.
Five starfighters sped past his overhead window with weapons blazing, right along with the Airship Of Doom's defenses shooting skyward with no hint of a break.
Just like Crocker up on the bridge; the boss man is in no concern for this was nothing more than a futile effort to stop his plans, which surprisingly made him smile in great excitement for it has been much too long since a rag tag group of heroes came in to confront him. It was exactly like the good old days, the only thing missing was the doors bursting open in an explosion and have a group of heroes come in with the leader saying, "stop right there" in a loud dramatic voice.
The nostalgia felt very nice, but it didn't blind him to the fact that this attack was nothing more than a distraction. The real threats are those who are inside the ship, trying to reach the vital areas in order to blow it up from the inside.
It's very amusing that they would think he would fall for such a pitiful distraction such as this. Well they are very gravely mistaken and he'll have his fun on letting the inside security systems deal with all of them.
Pressing a button on his chair; a large screen popped up from the floor and showed live security feed throughout the ship. Carefully clicking through each camera, he at last finds them cautiously walking through hallway V.
"That's right fools. Just keep thinking that everything is alright and I'll give you a wonderful surprise."
Danny, Jimmy, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Jenny stuck pretty close to the walls as they all moved slowly down the hall in order not to draw in any attention to themselves. The ghosts have turned intangible and separated themselves from the group for they wanted to find the room where all of their fellow ghosts are being held captive in, while the turtles went off to sabotage some of the ship's systems before meeting back up with them at the core.
So far they all been lucky on not running into any Krang, but they all fully knew that their luck would not last forever, especially when a corner is coming upon them.
Raising his hand for them to stop, Danny takes a quick peek for any signs of enemies. Not seeing any, he gives them all the okay to continue on. All the while Jimmy studied the walls closely, where he immediately takes notes on the different alien tech that's combined with the Krang's tech, which clearly indicates that another alien species had a very large hand on creating this thing. What other aliens would collab on this deadly weapon is a big mystery, that they may be able to solve as time goes on.
"How fascinating. This ship must've taken months to build for all of it's engineering marvels." Jimmy then commented.
"Not to mention it's large." Patrick added for they have been walking forever.
"It sure is pal. How do we even know we are going in the right direction anyway?" SpongeBob pointed out.
Now thinking about that, Danny slowly stopped himself from going any further as he turned to address Jimmy. "SpongeBob does have a point there. We could be going in the completely wrong direction."
"No worries. I got this." Switching her finger into a plug. Jenny walks in-between Danny and Jimmy and then places her plug into a terminal, where she now began to download valuable information into her hard drive, while the others silently watched her with Goddard wagging his tail.
Her eyes then blinks blue, satisfying Jenny enough to remove her finger from the terminal. "Great news guys. There's a monorail nearby that will take us directly to the core."
"That's great. It will save us a lot of time." SpongeBob happily exclaimed.
"There's just one problem though." Jenny now cautiously declared.
"Dare I ask on what that problem is exactly?" Danny stated in deadpan. He already knew it wasn't going to be anything good.
"Here's a quick tip. Step aside immediately."
Immediately after Jenny said that; two small turrets came out from the ceiling and began rapidly firing at them. They all now find themselves ducking and weaving from the deadly lasers that blast near their feet. Danny dodges another blast that would have blasted his head in if he hadn't been fast enough, but now he has an opening and focuses his aim at the turrets.
They explode into twisted metal from a few well placed shots, but he didn't do it, instead it was Jenny, who is proudly blowing a quick puff of smoke from the tip of her recently fired laser cannon just like a cowboy. Having the turrets promptly taken care of, Danny canceled out his attack while blinking a bit in surprise. "Nice shot." He stated in admirement.
"Thanks" Turning her attention to the rest of the hallway now. Jenny deploys her second laser cannon for the information she downloaded has given her some very useful information. "Look sharp everyone. There are a lot more security systems on the way."
Moving forward; it didn't take long for them to run into the next security system in the form of spinning saw blades going across the floor and the walls in such speeds that one completely chopped off SpongeBob's left arm causing everyone to scream in horror, but then they all stopped once another arm quickly popped right out of the socket, which made them all, (sans Patrick) to weirdly stare at him.
"What? I'm a sponge." SpongeBob remarked with a shrug.
He along with the others then jumped out of the way from the other speeding saws. Upon reaching the end, one final saw sped right past Patrick, emitting a loud tear and was immediately fallowed by a cool breeze. "Uh? Why is it so cold?"
Turning around; the group is unfortunately met with the not so beautiful sight of Patrick's bare bottom, making them all turn away in disgust for that was definitely something they didn't need to see. A new noise from above then gets their attention, they look up to the ceiling where a ball with lumps is swiftly lowered down while being lit up in a dark pink light.
Jimmy widen his eyes upon realizing on what it was going to do. Swiftly turning to SpongeBob and Patrick, he quickly tackles them to the ground. "Guys! Watch out!"
The ball unleashes a powerful surge of electricity, shocking both Danny and Jenny in a painful duration of a few minutes, which honestly felt much longer. They scream loudly as their bodies shot out in a T shape, Danny's hair stood up, while Jenny's systems glitched like crazy with her weapons popping in and out of her body.
The electricity mercifuly at lasts stops, reliving the two of the horrible pain, but it was just too much for them as they both fell to the floor with Danny changing right back into his human form and Jenny's eyes going black. They are also burned up a bit with light smoke rising off their bodies.
Having been completely untouched from the attack thanks to Jimmy's quick actions. He right along with SpongeBob and Patrick got back up on their feet and quickly went on over to their friends sides with great concern on all of them. Especially SpongeBob, who gets down on his knees and placed his hands on Danny's chest. "Oh no! They aren't dead are they Jimmy?"
"No SpongeBob. They are just unconscious for the time being, they both should be back up on their feet in a few minutes." Jimmy reassured in relief after doing a very careful overlook on their conditions.
"Phew. That's a big relief." Patrick exclaimed, for a second there; he thought that he would have to start making coffins for the two of them.
"Indeed, but it's best for us to find a safe place to holdout in until they wake up. We are in no condition to-" Suddenly stopping his sentence in annoyance. Jimmy drops his hands against his sides for approaching them with charged up blasters are a whole bunch of Krang droids with two bio-droids escorting them. Upon reaching Jimmy and the others, they all pointed their blasters at them, while the bio-droids turned around and pointed their butt cannons.
They are completely surrounded and with their two knocked out friends out of commission, they can't make a move without one of them shooting at Danny or Jenny. So with no other choice, they remain completely still.
"Hi fellas." SpongeBob nervously spoke up.
"The ones called trespassers. You are in the place, you are not authorized to be in. Prepare to be exterminated." Powering their blasters up even more, the Krang prepared to fire while Jimmy, Spongebob, and Patrick let out a huge gasp.
