I don't own any of this all of the Nicktoons belongs to Nickelodeon.
"We are almost in the desirable position. The one named Crocker."
Completely unflinching as a starfighter zoomed pass the bridge with small explosions harmlessly bouncing off the shields. Even after the explosions died down, Crocker remained stone faced for this whole battle was very much completely pointless, really; shouldn't those fools know by now that their pitiful attacks aren't doing anything to this ship. Why don't they just give up and accept that they were destined to fall under his rule? Seriously; how hard is it to do that?
But if there's one thing for sure; this next firing sequence will force them to surrender. "How much time is it until we are in firing position?"
"The time which you asked; is approximately the Earth units of four minutes."
"Excellent" Glancing on over to the sensors, Crocker regards the tiny dots of the starfighters still buzzing around with several disappearing on the spot, no doubt due to one of the defenses. Turning to another Krang monitoring the shield level, Crocker steadily approached him.
"What's the current status on the battle?"
"The percentage of the enemy starfighters; that are currently attacking the vessel; known as-"
"Just spit it out already." Crocker stated in deadpan; having just about enough over the way they talked.
"The defenses are striking some of the enemy, but they are also too fast to avoid most of them."
"Well then," Crocker deviously smiled. "The only way to deal with these pests is by fighting them under their own game. Unleash those Stealth Ships of yours, immediately."
"Yes, one called Crocker." Moving off to give out the recent order. Crocker goes back to his position on the bridge, smiling greatly upon seeing a starfighter spinning out of control before exploding into bits.
Flying in behind the bridge, Timmy's starfighter unleashed two proton torpedoes at the top of it in point blank range, but it did absolutely nothing to it, much to the ever growing frustration of Timmy. "Gah! We hit every vulnerable spot on this thing and we haven't even left a tiny scratch!"
"It's just like Jordan's back. You can hit it a lot, but you can't leave anything behind." Cosmo remarked for that statement was one hundred percent true.
Passing the bridge, forward short range turrets fired after the fleeing starfighter; all just missing them as Timmy quickly dodges and weaves, while he flew to the very tip of the pointed nose of the ship where another starfighter is flying up at the exact same time.
"Timmy! Look out!" Wanda shouted for they were about to collide with it.
Thankfully; Timmy just manages to avoid a collision; although just barely. "Phew! That was a very close call." He proclaimed while wiping away the sweat on his forehead.
Looking over to his left, Timmy has now spotted a line of six starfighters moving in for an attack run. Moving the fighter in order to get a much clearer look, Timmy watches as they zoomed down in a arch towards the top half of the ship.
The defensive turrets took out two of them, but for the ones who managed to avoid getting shot down, they commenced heavy bombardment on several areas. They have reached the other side, when out from the ship's various hangers; a swarm of Krang Stealth Ships came zooming out like a bunch of angry hornets.
"Oh great! And here I thought this wasn't hard enough!" Diving the fighter down, Timmy joins the other starfighters as well as the Specter Speeder in engagements of the Stealth Ships in intense dogfights that already took out three ships on their side and six ships on the bad guy's side.
Watching the dogfights from inside the hanger, Lincoln could not really believe that he was actually witnessing all this. It felt like that this was ripped right out from one of his Sci-Fi movies such as; Starship Groupers.
This would be very awesome to watch, if his world wasn't exactly at stake at this moment or the fact he was standing inside the bad guys ship as of right now.
Outside; a Stealth Ship has lost three of its tentacles as it spun out of control before then going out of view, where it proceeds to crash against the ship.
It was very intense out there, Lincoln couldn't even tell who was even winning from the amount of explosions and all the zipping around starfighters, but hopefully the side he was on; were the ones who were winning this fight. He really didn't want to see his world get destroyed, but what is perhaps worse than seeing your own planet get destroyed?
It's also knowing that your friends and family have absolutely no idea on what was happening at the very moment or how their lives can be so cruelly taken away in a snap. Lincoln already had that taste of terror way back in Arnold's world and he couldn't bear the thought of everyone who he ever knew, minding their own business before suddenly, but slowly getting engulfed by the sun. He could just see them lying on the ground, being cooked alive like one of his dad's casseroles before melting away into nothing.
"I really wished those guys let me come with them." Lincoln then groaned for all these terrible thoughts of his family and friends horribly suffering, made him want to do something more than just stand here with no knowledge of the current progress the others are doing.
Problem was. Lincoln still has no idea on what to do exactly.
He didn't have anything to defend himself with against one of those Krang. He had plenty of fighting experience sure, after all; when you live in a house with eleven siblings; you are bound to learn a couple of fighting moves, especially when you have a older sibling like Lynn, who happily teaches you some moves. A bit with several physical demonstrations.
However Lincoln very much doubted his skills of fighting he had learned over the years with his sisters, isn't going to do anything against any hostile aliens. Especially ones with blasters that would just shoot him before he could even lift a fist.
Lincoln also very much didn't want to get mutated into something either. It may sound awesome to some people, but he is comfortable with just having two arms and legs thank you.
So what was he to do? Perhaps he can tap into his inner David Steele by going stealthy and sabotaging important systems. Yeah, that'll probably be the best option for him instead of going on with a direct assault against the enemy.
Lincoln didn't exactly have long to think over on his strategy for right at that moment. A couple of Krang on floating platforms, entered the hanger.
Gasping on their sudden appearance, Lincoln quickly ran and ducked behind a couple of large, metal crates near the far right wall. Slowly peeking out from his hiding spot, Lincoln has a very good look at the aliens with both terror and disgust. The Krang are these brain-like creatures, who are clearly unhappy upon the discovery of their wrecked ships.
Lincoln needed to get out of here quickly. Before they take their anger out on him by mutating him into the most ugliest, monstrous, most unhinged mutant anyone has ever seen. Looking around for a possible way to escape, Lincoln at last spots a vent gate that's big enough for him to crawl into.
"Hello vents. My good old friend."
Slowly moving over to the vent gate, Lincoln grabs hold of it and begins to pull, but not too hard for he wanted to avoid on making too much noise. He didn't need to alert those squealing Krang's on his position, it's just too bad that at this current, careful rate, the gate wouldn't budge.
Taking in a huge breath of air after his latest attempt, Lincoln gives it one final tug, which was the biggest one yet. The gate strained, but then popped right out with such force, Lincoln fell on his back and accidentally launched the gate away like a catapult with it flying a short distance before crashing down with a loud clang, alerting the Krang.
Looking at the gate bouncing a bit on the floor. They quickly flew on over to the spot with weapons at ready, going pass the creates they prepared to fire at will, but stopped upon seeing that no one was there; besides the dark vent opening.
The Krang droids and bio-droids are all prepared to fire out their deadly weapons; making SpongeBob and Patrick shiver as they held on to each other tightly, while Jimmy simply glares at them for he couldn't believe that after all this, he and his friends were going to expire in the hallway of this mechanical monster.
"Krang! Prepare to fire on the command given to you by Krang!"
"Affirmative; Krang!"
There's just gotta be a way out of this mess. If only Jimmy was by himself; he could come up with a way to disable them all, but with two of his friends out for the count, Jimmy just simply couldn't risk it, not that it was going to make much of a difference now.
"This is going to hurt badly." Patrick cried out lowly.
"Don't worry Patrick. Everything is going to be alright." SpongeBob tried to reassure his best friend with a gentle pat on his back.
"You promise SpongeBob?" He then asked with slight tears watering in his eyes.
SpongeBob didn't answer him at first, but then with a gentle smile he pulls Patrick into a even more gentle hug for it was going to be over soon. "I promise Patrick."
Slightly squeezing the triggers; the end of the blasters lit up, but just at that moment one of them lifts its hand up to its droid's head as if listening to something before raising its arm out in a halting gesture. "Krang! Aboard that order!"
The others immediately charged down their blasters much to Jimmy's, SpongeBob's, and Patrick's relief as they weren't going to get blasted into smoking heaps after all. However the Krang still trained their blasters on them, keeping them all in place.
The Krang listening to whoever was talking to it nodded and turned to the other awaiting Krang. "The one, who wishes to be called the boss. Wishes for those; known as the trespassers to be taken to the place where he resides in."
"The boss?" Jimmy muttered in question. Looks like they were going to meet the mastermind of this whole plan of solar system destruction. He very much preferred to do it on his own terms, but at least they were still alive for now.
The Krang meanwhile; motions them to move forward, while a bio-droid effortlessly picked up the still unconscious Danny and Jenny in both singular, large hands. Having no other choice, unless they wanted to get blasted in the head, the three walked with the Krang to whoever is pulling the strings of this whole plot.
Silently observing the pitiful space battle from his own chambers. Shredder watched with a cold glare as a Krang Stealth Ship took out another one of those pathetic starfighters.
Now his chambers is filled with all sorts of fighting equipment and dummies to train his skills on, while a throne; similar to the one back in his lair sat in far eastern part of the room, and finally a simple sleeping mat is laid on the floor for him to either rest or meditate on. But if there is one thing in this room that's most important, it's the Krang head situated in front of his throne.
Turning away from the window for this pointless battle is a large waste of his time. Shredder sets himself down on his throne and activates the Krang head that lits up, then projected a screen that showed his second in command faithfully awaiting his transmission.
"Master Shredder." Tiger Claw announced with a respectful bow of his head. "I trust that your current affairs are going greatly."
"Indeed they have Tiger Claw. Despite my forced allegiance to these pitiful fools, they have indeed completed a weapon that even I am impressed with."
"Very good master. Shall I give the command for all of the Foot to join you?" It shouldn't take too much time. All Tiger Claw has to do is give out the word Shredder has summon them and they will all drop on what they are doing in order to join their master on this secret project he was very discreet with ever since it was first announced.
Shredder however slightly lifted his hand. "Not yet. Still need to wait for all them to get comfortable enough to lower down their guard. Once they do, it will allow us to take control of this ship for the glory of the Foot Clan."
Tiger Claw understood. The best way to bring down prey is to wait until they least expect the strike.
"Until I give out the word. You must first tell me on the current status of affairs."
"Doing great master. We have gained more supplies and equipment, plus the Footbots are being given an upgrade to make them even more deadly."
"Good. And I trust there hasn't been any complications." He knew those vile turtles would try to interrupt his new shipment or the construction of his Footbots.
"No master. Surprisingly we haven't encountered the turtles lately, but we did encounter a strange phenomenon that seemed to glitch out the very fabric of reality. Should this be a concern?"
"It's of no concern, but maintain supervision of more incoming equipment. I will contact you later."
"Yes. Master Shredder." Tiger Claw bowed before the screen turned off, leaving Shredder to think amongst himself.
After a year setting up operations in New York. Shredder has come to know his enemies well enough to know that they would strike at one of his shipments. Them not being there, along with the glitch Tiger Claw has reported is a connection, and he has a deep feeling that those vile turtles are part of this pathetic attack.
With his glare hardening, Shredder gets up from his throne and heads out of his chambers to do some turtle hunting.
Back on the bridge; Crocker watches in absolute joy as three Krang Stealth Ships are in hot pursuit of a starfighter before leaving out of his sight.
"The one called Crocker. We have reached our desired position."
Beaming in more joy on the aspect of even more destruction. This battle was just about over; all he had to do is give out the word and then he will be witnessing the most powerful red giant yet. "Excellent. Prepare to fire the cannon."
The doors to the room they were brought to; opens up to reveal a large area with a long meeting table, dark red marble pillars on both sides that all made archways, a glass ceiling where there's a clear view of the raging space battle outside right along with the dwarf planet Pluto, but what stood out the most is the long staircase leading up to a throne with a clear figure sitting on it.
Jimmy couldn't make out the figure due to the deliberate low light of the room, but he can make out the eyes looking down at them with surprising glee. Jimmy was honestly more expecting a more angrier, threatening glare from this villain.
"Welcome aboard my ship. I hope you enjoyed your brief run through the halls as for in about a few minutes, none of you will be existing." Motioning them to come in, Jimmy felt himself get roughly pushed forward before being lead over to the left side of the staircase, where once there; the bio-droid holding Danny and Jenny dumps them both to the floor like plywood.
The sudden drop to the floor woke Danny up from his unconscious state with a start as he raised his upper half up, while frantically looking at his new surroundings. "Huh? What happened? Where are we?"
"We're in the bad guy's lair." Patrick fearfully answered.
"This is just like Manray's lair in the original Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy series; episode 143." SpongeBob recalled; all that was missing is the giant picture frame of the superhero duo's most infamous villain.
"This isn't a TV show SpongeBob." Jimmy reminded, while this was vastly different to what Professor Calamitous or any of his villains would settle on. He could very well tell however that whoever this belongs to is very intelligent.
"He's very right sea sponge. I am nothing like that old villain, your elderly heroes fight on a regular basis. I'm much more younger. Not to mention; I don't wear a ridiculous mask." The mysterious figure boasted in pride.
"Who even are you anyways?" Danny demanded.
"Oops. I'm terribly sorry. Allow me to introduce myself." Getting up from his throne, the figure walked down into the light. Revealing a man in a business suit, with red skin, and most head turning; a head made out of a lightbulb. "I'm Glowface and for the time being, you are my guests for the evening or whatever time it is."
"You look like a man who gives out bright ideas." Spongebob immediately started laughing over his joke with Patrick happily joining in, shortly after thinking a bit about the joke. Danny and Jimmy however could only shake their heads for that joke was just bad.
Letting out a small chuckle himself, Glowface took one step closer to them, silencing the two efficiently thanks to a small dose of intimidation. "Laugh while you can. It's good to feel joy in your last moments alive. You have to enjoy it to the fullest."
"You're not going to be doing anything to us Glowhead! Not after we stop you by taking this thing down!" Danny declared with glowing eyes, which did nothing but amuse Glowface with a small feeling of nostalgia.
"Hero talk. How much I miss those. But yet; as I would like to say to my old enemies. Your efforts are all futile." Turning away from them, Glowface heads right back up the stairs towards his throne, only to stop halfway up them when Jimmy spoke up.
"You seem very confident on your chances of coming out on top."
"Yes," Turning to face them again with a wide, toothy grin; Glowface's lightbulb glowed brightly. "I am very confident, especially since those other ghosts you brought me have just entered the holding chambers."
"Wait, how did you know we broug-" Patrick began to ask, only to be interrupted by a sharp chuckle.
"Did you honestly think that I was dumb enough not to install ghost sensors all over the ship. I picked them up the first moment they entered the hanger. If I'm correct, they should be with their friends right now."
Phasing through the wall; the ghosts waste no time on taking out the Krang manning the controls.
After doing that, they all became visible and looked around in shock over the massive room holding their fellow ghosts, while Johnny scanned around for only one person, until he at lasts spots her in the middle row, looking down at him with at first surprise, but then a loving smile.
"Johnny!"
"Kitty!"
Flying up to her, Johnny lovingly places a hand on the glass as he looked into her eyes. "Don't worry Kitten. I'm here."
"Oh Johnny! I knew you would come to save me." Seeing her knight in shiny armor made her happy enough to slightly cry.
"But I thought you said that-"
"Shut up! Box Ghost!" She snapped.
"Yo! Love birds!" Ember called out; getting Johnny's attention away from Kitty. "If your done reuniting? We could really use your help here!"
"Alright! Alright! keep your pants on!" Annoyed over being so rudely interrupted from the reunion with his beloved girlfriend, Johnny grumbled a bit before turning back to Kitty with a loving smile. "Excuse me for a second, Kitten."
Drifting over to the controls, he took quick notice on how very advance they were, which not only confused him, but the others as well as they all bickered with each other over which button or lever would release the trapped ghosts.
"Come on! It's obviously this one!" Youngblood exclaimed while pointing at a red button.
"Please. That would be too easy." PointDexter remarked with crossed arms. "I believe the release for the prisoners is one of these levers."
"Maybe it's this pretty one." Klemper kindly suggested while pointing over to a green lever.
"Please Dipstick. It's this one." Ember stated as she goes to push a random button.
"Gah! This is taking too long!" Johnny snapped, his girlfriend needed saving and they weren't going to do any of that if they just stand here and argue. There was only one way to settle this and by raising his hand up to snap his fingers, he knew his shadow would make short work of this console.
But then energy suddenly wrapped around all of them, stunning them all on the spot with painful expressions splattered all over their faces. They were then swiftly, but efficiently pulled into individual awaiting tubes that quickly trapped them inside their new homes.
Struggled as they did, the restrains are tight and firm. They only stopped their futile struggling when laughter suddenly echoed throughout the room. They looked for the source of the laughter a bit before Vlad became visible in front of the console. "The boss was right. The final ghosts for the cannon's energy are here and now with them safely stored away, the cannon will finally reach its full power."
Shaking his head in amusement for how easy that was, Vlad found himself leaning against the console with one arm. "You fools. I thought you would be more smarter than this. I mean honestly; sneaking through a ship design to hold ghosts in one major area. You should have known that we would have sensors that will pick up on your ecto-energy the moment you came aboard." This was just so funny, Vlad could simply hold onto his stomach in laughter, but instead; he will gladly settle with looking at them in a very smug grin, especially when they all glared cold daggers at him.
"Plasmius! Your the one behind these kidnappings!" Ember shouted in outrage. Oh, if she was free right now, she would give him something to twist and shout about.
"Yes on the capturing of all of a you fools. The overall plan for universal conquest, it's a shared operation. Isn't that right Plankton."
Hopping onto the console, Plankton's toothy grin flashes at them with a gleam for the trapped worked out so perfectly. "That's right you undead fools! Now you can enjoy your new home for all eternity."
"Now, now Plankton." Vlad gently childed as he lightly patted the top of his head with his index finger. "Perhaps we can let them out, but only if they submit to my rule as the new Ghost King."
"Excuse me? I don't bow to anyone's rule?" If anything; Ember preferred to be the one who ruled over others, specifically lowlife humans.
"If I ever get out of here! Your going to be away for ninety million years!" Walker shouted as he found the strength to pull his wrists against his restraints.
This only made Vlad's smug grin to grow larger for his strength is not going to do anything on those restraints, they were just too strong for him. "Seems like the animals need some more obedience training. A few more energy sucking shocks will change all of your minds, and here's a fun warning to the ones who've been here the longest. This one is going to be even more painful."
"Which to our overall entertainment. It should be happening very shortly now." Plankton added in joy for he recently heard that the Airship Of Doom is now in firing position.
"If I ever get out of this. Your going to be number one on my hunting list Plasmius!" Skulker threaten. He was definitely going to take pleasure on squishing that one eye shrimp, while Vlad would make a excellent pelt to hang above his fireplace.
Having looked at a screen that had rose up from the right side of his throne; Glowface felt his lightbulb spark in joy. "Oh good. My beautiful cannon is finally at full power."
"Please Mr. Glowface. Please don't destroy this world. All those poor, defenseless creatures deserve to live a happy, long life." Spongebob desperately begged, it may not work, but he has to give it a shot for Lincoln's world is at stake.
"Don't worry sea sponge. This world will be spared." Glowface remarked, greatly surprising Danny and Jimmy.
"It will?" Jimmy has his great doubts and for good reason. Villains never leave a world alone, especially when they are armed with a massive weapon such as this.
"I will, but this universe; as well as every single known universe will only have, I say about a half hour to exist."
There was the catch. "What do you mean by that?" Jimmy asked in alarm for the threat of destroying every universe isn't something to be taken lightly.
Completely acting like a kid on Christmas Morning, Glowface gleefully presses a few buttons on his throne, shaking the ship a bit as the engines roared to life again. "You all will see soon enough."
This was it! At last with the cannon now finally at 100%, Crocker is about to witness the largest supernova he has ever seen. He actually found himself putting on some cool sunglasses for this was going to be bright.
"Is the cannon about to fire?" He asked as a reflection of a Krang Stealth Ship destroying another starfighter bounced off his glasses.
Before the Krang could answer him. The engines they had died down earlier in order to stay in place, suddenly came roaring back to life. Confusing Crocker greatly for they haven't destroyed their target yet. Turning to a Krang in charge of the ship's navigation, Crocker wondered if this squealing brain just screwed up something. "What's going on? Why are we moving?"
"It seems our control over the ship has been overwritten by the one, who wishes to be called; the boss."
"Why would he do that?"
"Krang has no idea, but look."
Looking ahead; Crocker sees that a new portal had just opened up ahead of them.
Destroying a Krang Stealth Ship that was hot on the Specter Speeder's tail. Timmy flies right by their left side as they both turned back to face the ship again. It definitely caught them off guard, when they saw that it was heading towards a swirling portal.
"Whoa! Looks like we got them on the run!" Cosmo happily exclaimed for despite the heavy losses they taken, they were actually coming out on top.
"More like their heading for a much better target." Sam retorted through the com-link.
"Sam's right," Tucker agreed. "They have no reason to move on, unless they have something else they want to destroy. We gotta go after them."
"Right behind you." Timmy remarked, besides their friends are still in there. They couldn't just let that thing leave with them.
Zooming behind the ship at top speeds: Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Sam, Tucker, and the starfighters who have managed to survive through the battle. Chase after the Airship Of Doom through the portal. Unaware that a Irken Voot Cruiser fallowed in after them just seconds before the portal closed.
It may have taken a couple of jumps to finally catch up with the traitors who jettison him into space, but at last; those traitors will feel the awesome fury of the mighty Zim!
Coming out through the other side of the portal. Everyone is met with a black, purple space that has nothing but a sun size, round, orange thing, where to some; it almost looks like a splatter of slime by the way it pulses.
Looking at it from Glowface's chambers; Jimmy couldn't do anything but stare at it, right along with the others for this was the most amazing thing he has ever seen in his life. He is so preoccupied with the star like anomaly that he didn't notice the evil grin on Glowface for to him, this was finally it.
"Gentleman. I welcome you to the Star Of Creation! The center in-between as well as the birthplaces to all the multiverses!"
