Operation Jet Fusion pt 3
Thoth
02:20 AM
The N-Force were trapped in Calamitius's lab. Jet Fusion had just woken and was getting ready to make his next move.
"Dad." Nick said, trying to hold back tears.
"Save the tears for later, son. It's time to take Calamitous down." Jet smirked.
"How are you, okay?" Nick asked.
"The shock you gave me set me right. Calamitous installed some kind of mind-controlling tech into my brain when you zapped me; it freed me."
"Do you have a plan?", Brittany asked.
Jet smiled confidently at her and said, "Jet Fusion always has a plan."
Jet put his hand in his mouth and yanked out a tooth.
"What's that?", Nick asked.
"Energy disruptor." Jet answered.
Jet threw the tooth at the energy cube and the energy shield disappeared.
Bull-E quickly took notice and got into action, he ripped off his air pods and tossed his phone. "I don't know how you losers got free but this is as far as you go." he snarled.
Nick charged up his hands with Electricity but Jet put his arm in front of him to stop him.
"Let me handle this son. I owe this guy some payback."
Bull-E charged at Jet and threw a punch, Jet immediately activated his powers and disabled Bull-E's powers, reverting him back into his human form.
"Let's see how well you do without your powers."
Francis scowled at him and threw another punch, Jet easily caught it. He then tried to kick Jet but Jet caught his leg.
Jet easily lifted Francis into the air and threw him into a wall knocking him out.
Jet deactivated his powers and Francis reverted back into his mutant form.
"I could get used to this." Jet smirked.
Nick immediately ran to his teammates and tried to free them with his lightning but it failed.
"Damn, don't worry guys I'll get you outta there." he yelled.
Nick prepared to hit the cube with a bigger blast but again Jet stopped him.
"Relax kid. We can disable the cube from the control panel."
Jet walked to the control panel and disabled the N-Force's cube.
"We're free." Jasmine cheered.
"I was scared we'd never get out." Megan said, relieved..
"No time for celebration guys, we need to go save Neutron." Nick said.
"Then let's go!" Nate eagerly said.
As the team made their way out of the lab Jet stopped them.
"Wait!" he shouted.
"What?" Nick replied.
"You kids need to take a moment to think things through. You're in enemy territory, you don't know the layout or have any kind of plan. Not to mention you all still have missions to complete."
'You can't be serious!" Nick yelled. "You want us to leave our friend at the mercy of that crazy doctor."
"I am. In our business the mission always comes first. We'll go save Neutron when we're done." Jet ordered them in a serious tone.
The rest of the team didn't know what to do but Nick wasn't having any of it.
"Is that why you faked your death?!" Nick stated
Jet looked away from him. "It's not the time to talk about things like that."
"I think it's the perfect time. For months I've been wondering what I was going to say to you and what I was going to ask you but now I have my answer: you never cared about Mom or me."
"And what about you?" Jet retaliated. "If you cared about your mother you wouldn't be standing here right now."
The room went into a dead silence. Jet sighed. "Look son, I know we have a lot to talk about but now really isn't the time. Calamitous is planning to have Neutron right his android code, after that he's planning to transfer his consciousness into it. That gives us at least an hour to steal his data and learn his weaknesses. Saving Neutron is a top priority but he's not the only one."
Although he didn't like what he was hearing, Nick decided to go with Jet's plan. "Fine, just tell us what we need to do but if there's a chance that there won't be enough time to take Calamitous's data and save Jimmy we're saving Jimmy. Understood."
"Understood." Jet complied. "Alright kids first things first, tell me your skills and abilities."
Calamitous's Workshop
Calamitous and Beautiful Gorgeous brought Jimmy to Calamitous workshop where he was keeping his android. As a precaution Calamitous had deactivated Jimmy's powers with his own version of the power dampener, the power dampening patch, it was similar in appearance to a nicotine patch with it's circuitry hidden in the cotton of the patch and held with a special adhesive known as ghost gum a substance described as the strongest glue in the world..
"Alright Neutron, here are the specifications I want you to install into Adaptadron." Calamitous said, handing Jimmy a paper.
Jimmy read the paper and got a shock. "This isn't what you wanted to do."
"True, there's been a change of plans. Before I wanted to create a device to counter any mutant no matter what their abilities were but I miscalculated. Unlike normal organisms, Mutants evolve at an extraordinary rate. Even with the scans I got of you and your friends they'd probably become obsolete in a short time so why not get ahead of the curve. Adaptatron's body is completely composed of nano machines and the change in programming wouldn't affect it in the least."
"Fine." Jimmy agreed.
Just before Jimmy got started Calamitous grabbed his arm. "And remember, try any funny stuff and your friends will suffer."
It took him about half an hour to complete Calamitous's code.
"I'm done." Jimmy stated.
"Excellent. Beautiful prepare the transfer device."
"Transfer device?" Jimmy questioned.
Calamitous grinned, "That's been my goal from the start. As you've noticed I am getting older, and I'll die eventually. This Android will be my salvation and will allow me to live forever." Jimmy scowled at the mad professor which made Calamitous smile grow wider.
Beautiful Gorgeous hooked the Professor and the Android up to a machine and began typing on its interface.
"How long will the transfer take?" Calamitous asked.
"About an hour." Beautiful replied.
"Excellent." Calamitous smiled.
Beautiful began the process, Calamitous fell unconscious as his mind began to transfer into the Android.
Jimmy having fulfilled his end of the deal tried to sneak away while Beautiful was distracted but the former agent of Savage had already caught on, without even looking Beautiful fired a dart at Jimmy knocking him out.
About thirty minutes passed and the transferring process had almost finished. Beautiful was sitting in a chair waiting patiently for Calamitous to wake up when suddenly she felt the building shaking then heard loud explosions.
"What the hell!" she shouted.
Beautiful went to check the monitor to see if Calamitous's transfer had been interrupted.
"Francis you Bull headed idiot, what's going on out there." She tried to communicate with the teenage psychopath but she didn't get an answer. "Shit, those guys probably got out, they could be here any minute."
"Or they already are." Jet called out from behind her.
Beautiful quickly turned and noticed Jet and the rest of the N-Force standing behind her.
"How did you…!?" she asked, confused.
"Old tricks of the trade." Jet winked at her with a big smirk on his face.
Beautiful scowled at him and tried to use her powers but something prevented her from using them.
"You did think I'd let you use your powers."
"I don't need them to take you out." Beautiful retorted.
Beautiful went in with with a high kick to Jet's head, Jet blocked it with his forearm, Beautiful quickly pulled herself back and went in with some quick jabs, Jet again blocked her attack then grabbed her wrists, Beautiful hit Jet in his ribs to free herself, after Beautiful broke free Jet kicked her sending her into a table.
Beautiful got back up and mentally admitted that she couldn't beat Jet and had to come up with a plan B and quick. The rest of the N-Force ran into the room.
"Dad." Nick called out.
"I got the situation under control, make sure Neutron's okay and stop that transfer." Jet ordered them.
"Right." Nick agreed. "Nitrous, Miss Stretch go check on Neutron. Everyone else, we're stopping that transfer."
"Right." the rest of the team agreed.
Beautiful knew the situation wasn't good; she was outnumbered and her powers were being blocked. She had only one option left and she knew Calamitous wouldn't like it but she didn't have a choice. She pulled out her dart gun and aimed it at Nick, she fired and Jet got in front of the shot. When Jet went down the N-Force got distracted and she used that opportunity to activate a device to surround Calamitous and the Android in a Perfect Cube. Jet immediately got up and pulled the dart out of his chest.
"So that was just a distraction to save your boss."
"Well yes and to even the playing field a bit." Beautiful smirked at him.
Jet didn't know what she meant at first but the second he tried to use his powers on her again he knew.
"My powers!" Jet exclaimed.
"Cure darts. Calamitous will hate to lose an assistant like you but I think he'll let it go when he becomes a god."
Beautiful aimed the dart gun at the rest of the team but was stopped by Jasmine.
"Snipe Shot!" she shouted, firing a bullet of energy at Beautiful's gun destroying it.
"Well guess we'll have to do this the old fashioned way." Beautiful said as she transformed into her aqua form.
Beautiful fired a high pressure stream of water straight at Jet, Megan quickly reacted stretching herself around the agent shielding him from the blast, Nate immediately rushed at Beautiful Gorgeous and unleashed a flurry of high speed punches at her but his attacks were completely ineffective as his fists just passed through her liquid body.
Beautiful seeing an opening morphed her hand into a blade and attempted to slice Nate's head off, Nate dodged her by ducking but Beautiful anticipated this and fired a blast of water out from her chest sending the speedster flying into a wall with enough force to dent it.
Beautiful quickly checked a monitor to check on Calamitous's progress, the monitor read 86% complete.
"Just a little more." she thought to herself.
Beautiful then completely morphed her body into its aqua form and grew about eight times her normal size, she aimed her finger tips at the teens and Jet and began firing a flurry of water bullets at them carefully making sure she didn't damage any of the equipment.
"Protectus!" Jasmine yelled as a pink energy dome surrounded the team.
"Guys I don't know how long I can keep this up!" she groaned as Beautiful's unrelenting attacks began to crack her shield.
Nick thought for a second then came up with a plan, "Mystique drop the dome and make it more like a shield!" he ordered her.
"What!?" Jasmine questioned.
"Just trust me!"
"I don't know if I can do that. I'm still really new to shape manipulation." she protested.
"Jasmine, I know how strong you are. I know you can do it." Nick said, trying to reassure her.
Jasmine, still very unsure of herself, did as Nick ordered and reshaped her shield from a dome to more of wall, panting and sweating profusely from the effort.
"I knew you could do it!" Nick exclaimed.
Nick charged up his lighting and fired a stream of electricity around the shield and hitting Beautiful Gorgeous causing the villainess to shriek in pain and drop to the ground reverting to her normal form.
Beautiful, barely able to move, struggling to get back up.
Nick smiled at her and said. "Electricity and water sure don't mix well. Tell us how to get rid of that shield or my next blast will be at full power."
Beautiful knew she was in a bind now, she knew she couldn't win as long as Nick was around so she had to come up with another plan. She morphed her body back into water and began to move around the room, Nick fired another lightning but missed.
Beautiful rushed to a whistle that fell to the floor because of all the ruckus and blew it immediately but no noise came from it.
Nick and the rest of the team found her and Nick trapped her in an electric cage completely paralyzing her.
"Okay enough games, tell us how to stop Calamitous now!" Nick ordered her.
Beautiful was stuck and at the mercy of her enemies and she was secretly hoping her plan worked.
At that moment the N-Force felt the ground shaking beneath their feet.
"What's that?" Megan asked.
"Nothing good." Brittany replied thinking she knew what it was.
The shaking persisted
Bull-E burst through a wall and unleashed a fierce roar that shook the room.
"Great, what's he doing back?" Brittany groaned.
"I thought you tied him down!" Nate yelled to Jasmine.
"I did. Guess he broke out." she replied.
"Help me you idiot!" Beautiful shouted.
Bull-E looked and saw the situation his coworker was in. He glared at the teens and went into action.
Bull-E charged at the group like a raging bull forcing the team to scatter, Nick tried to knock Bull-E out with a blast of lightning, the Villain took the hit and seemed barely stunned by the attack he roared and charged towards Nick.
Brittany quickly armored herself up and jumped in front of Nick to block Bull-E's oncoming attack but was surprised that the Bull headed teen was actually a lot smarter than she thought, while Brittany got in the way Bull-E grabbed her arm and threw her at Megan sending both teen girls threw a wall, he then launched a punch at Nick but Nick was saved by Nate quickly moving him away at super speed.
Beautiful, using the chaos of the situation quickly liquified herself to escape.
"You okay?" Nate asked.
"I'll live." Nick replied.
Beautiful reshaped herself right next to Bull-E.
"You're looking shocked." Bull-E joked.
"Shut it, farm animal." she replied swallowing one of Calamitous's Heal Balls fixing all her injuries, she then tossed Bull-E a pill box.
Bull-E looked shocked at what she threw at him "Wait are these!?"
"Yeah, we're gonna need a boost." Beautiful nodded. "The Old man's almost done, we just need to hold them off a little longer."
"Understood." Bull-E agreed before both turned their attention to the team.
"Uh, Boss this isn't good." Nate said to Nick.
"I know." Nick replied while turning his head to Jimmy's unconscious body. "We're going to need some help."
Nick pointed his finger at Jimmy and fired a jolt of electricity that woke the boy genius up immediately.
"Whathca!" Jimmy blurted out as he shot back up to life.
Bull-E charged straight for the teens, Jimmy barely had any time to get his bearings in order before he saw the raging beast charging at them.
"Hulk!" Jimmy shouted. Jimmy instantly changed into Hulk and got tackled by the beast through a wall.
While everyone was distracted, Beautiful pulled out another pill box and ate a navy blue pill, her eyes glowed for a second before going back to normal.
After Hulk and Bull-E left the remaining N-Force members turned their attention to Beautiful.
"You sure you don't wanna give up." Nick asked while charging his hands with electricity.
"Take your best shot kid." Beautiful smirked.
Nick fired a bolt of lightning at the villainess, Beautiful raised her finger and absorbed the electricity leaving the group stunned.
"How did you!?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Beautiful said as her smile grew larger and fired her own lightning at the teenagers.
Nick managed to shield the others by taking the hit himself.
Nate grabbed and threw whatever he could find at Beautiful but the villainess transformed her body into pure electricity and everything passed through her. She turned her attention to Jasmine and launched herself at her. Nate moved towards Jasmine as fast as he could and just managed to push her out of the way while he took the hit.
"Nitro!" Nick cried out.
Before anyone could help Nate Beautiful began firing a barrage of lightning bolts at the teens forcing them to take cover.
"What's wrong you little bastards, where's that confidence you had earlier!" the villainess shouted.
"Right here!"
Beautiful, still in her lightning form, turned around and was struck in the face by Megan knocking her hard into a wall reverting her back into her normal form.
"How the hell did you do that!?" Beautiful asked while rubbing her chin.
"I'm made of rubber." Megan bluntly answered.
"Shit!" Beautiful said.
Megan launched her arm at Beautiful like a rocket, Beautiful just managed to dodge her but she was almost caught off guard by Nick who had charged up his fist with lightning, Beautiful ducked to dodge him she then kicked him to send him back before she knew it Megan used the arm that missed to sling herself forward and rocket herself towards Beautiful and giving her a powerful gut punch which forced Beautiful into the wall with enough force to crack it, before Beautiful could recover Megan grabbed her neck and launched her with her elastic powers into another wall, Beautiful tried to break free by changing into lightning but Megan's rubber body prevented her from escaping but as soon as she hit the wall her body dissipated allowing her to get away from Megan.
"I need to change my strategy." Beautiful said to herself.
Beautiful brought out the pill box again and ate a red pill which Jasmine noticed.
Beautiful's body began to steam before she unleashed a wave of fire on them.
"Crashing Waves!" Jasmine shouted before unleashing a wave of water from her hand colliding with the flames which caused a burst of steam to envelope the room.
The computer monitoring Professor Calamitou's transfer read 91% until completion.
Bull-E was still tackling Hulk through walls until the monster finally had enough, Hulk put his feet on the ground and stopped Bull-E dead in his tracks.
"That's enough of that!" Hulk said before he effortlessly tossed Bull-E aside.
Bull-E got up and smiled. "I've been looking forward to taking you on Hulk."
"Trust me only one of us is going to enjoy this." Hulk smirked back at him.
Bull-E charged at Hulk and prepared to throw a punch at the beast, Hulk didn't even give him a chance to attack, Hulk punched Bull-E hard enough to sending flying up the ceiling, Hulk leaped into the air to follow him, Hulk caught up to him and grabbed his leg and threw Bull-E back down sending him to the lower levels of the base.
Bull-E leaped back up and met with Hulk again he threw several punches that barely made Hulk flinch, Hulk smirked and slapped Bull-E through a wall when Hulk caught up he kicked Bull-E up knocked him back into the ground before he got to high, picked him up over his slammed him head first into the ground, before Bull-E could get up Hulk kicked Bull-E with his head still stuck in the ground back into the room the fight started in.
Bull-E got back up and was visibly stunned by how powerless he seemed in front of Hulk.
"He can't be this strong! He just can't!" Bull-E thought to himself.
"Hey are you dead! You better not be! I've barely warmed up!"
Bull-E could hear Hulk walking back to him and was terrified, he knew Hulk was far stronger than he was and was weighing his options. He knew running or begging for his life were not options so he pulled out the pill box Beautiful gave him earlier, opened it and ate the dozens of pills that were in it in one gulp.
"You better not have run away."
When Hulk finally made it he saw Bull-E glowing a blood red color.
"What's going on with you?" Hulk asked, barely interested.
Bull-E's eyes turned red and his brown fur changed into pure white, he grew about five times larger and his horns grew longer and turned from white to black. "I just ingested energy steroids. Just one of these increases my power tenfold, I just ate a hundred. There's no way you could stop me now!" he roared.
Hulk just smirked, "Good, now I don't have to hold back."
Bull-E charged at Hulk again and like before Hulk punched him into the the air through the ceiling but this time it was even harder than before and sent Bull-E flying out of the base, Hulk leaped back into the air caught up to Bull-E grabbed his head and held it down as they both plummeted to the ground slamming Bull-E's head into the ground.
Bull-E got back up and tried to stab Hulk with his horns, Hulk grabbed them easily broke them off as if they were twigs, tossed them aside, quickly gave Bull-E a uppercut in his jaw, slugged him on his right side which sent the bull mutant back, grabbed his leg before he got to far and slammed him into the ground hard enough for the villain to dent the floor and bounce off of it, while Bull-E was still mid air Hulk unleashed one last powerful punch on the teen, sending him through several wall and back into the forest impacting the ground with enough force to cause a massive shockwave that decimated the forest leaving a massive crater in his wake.
Bull-E got back up and looked like a wounded animal, broken and sad.
Hulk leaped and landed right in front of the villain. Bull-E looked up and had practically accepted his fate.
"Did I even stand a chance?" Bull-E asked.
"In all honesty no." Hulk bluntly answered, "But you do have great potential, in time you could've given me a great fight. Take pride in that."
"Sorry I couldn't give you the fight you wanted." Bull-E apologized.
"Don't be. In terms of the opponents I've faced, you're in the top five." Hulk reassured him.
Bull-E began to tear up and smile and accepted his fate with pride.
Hulk grabbed Bull-E's head and ripped it clean off his shoulders, killing him.
Jimmy: Now that you're done having your fun let's get back to the others.
"Right." Hulk agreed.
Back in Calamitous's lab the steam had been cleared up, Jasmine was shielding everyone from Beautiful's fire attacks.
"This is insane!" Nick shouted. "She keeps switching between elements!"
"She's using that pill box to switch!" Jasmine told him while she struggled to keep her shield up.
"We need a plan boss!" Brittany said.
Nick thought for a moment. "Nate do you think you got anything left in the tank?"
Nate, still feeling pain from being electrocuted, got back up. "Well I guess, what do you need me to do?"
"Phase through the ground, run back in here and grab all her pills."
"Got it." Nate agreed.
Nate vibrated his molecules and phased through the ground.
"Jasmine drop the shield, Brittany get ready to take the hit. Everyone else fire any long range attacks you have."
"Right!" the rest of the girls agreed.
Jasmine expanded her shield before dissipating it forcing Beautiful back, Beautiful shot a fireball at the group, Brittany got ahead and shielded her friends from the blast, Nick, Megan and Jasmine then fired a bolt of lightning, a wave of water and a fast moving stretched out punch.
Beautiful dodged the lightning, popped another pill changing back into her water form, absorbed the water attack and let the stretchy punch go right through her.
Beautiful reverted back into her normal form.
While she was distracted Nate zipped passed her and stole all her pill boxes.
"Ready to give up." Beautiful gloated.
Nick charged up his hand with electricity. "Not really seeing that you're back to being made of water and all." Nick replied.
"I can change that in a second." Beautiful replied.
Beautiful began to reach behind her back but found nothing.
"That the.." she thought to herself as she began to panic.
"Looking for these." Nate showed Beautiful the pill boxes he stole from her.
"Shit!" Beautiful said.
Beautiful changed into her water form, nick fired a lightning bolt but Beautiful just managed to dodge it but got nicked as she escaped, escaping through a crack in the wall.
"After her!" Nick ordered his team.
"Hold it." Jet called out to the kids before they ran out.
"Let her go, we'll get her later. Stopping Calamitous takes priority."
"Right." Nick agreed as the group made it to the energy cube.
"What do we do?" Megan asked.
"Hit it with everything you got!" Nick ordered them as he charged himself with electricity.
Nick fired a powerful bolt of lightning, Jasmine fired a fireball, Nate spun his arms creating a blast of wind, Megan threw a speedy stretchy punch and Brittany punched the cube in her new steel form.
When the team was done the cube was still intact.
"Damn not even a scratch." Brittany complained.
"We need something with more of a punch." Jet said.
"Did somebody say punch." Hulk walked into the room.
"Hulk quick smash the barrier!" Nick shouted.
"Okay." Hulk casually agreed.
Hulk prepared to strike the cube but was stopped.
Jimmy: Hulk, wait!
"What is it?"
Jimmy: Let Nova take over. She's better for situations like these.
Nova: Yeah Hulky, brutes like you would only cause a mess.
Hulk loudly groaned before switching into Nova.
"Hey y'all." she happily cheered. "Don't worry I'll handle this."
Nova touched the cube and absorbed all its energy dissipating it.
"Let's shut it down." Jet ordered the teens.
"I don't think that will be necessary."
The android's body rose and everyone took a step back.
Calamitous began to move his body trying to get used to it.
"Everything seems to be working in order. But I will need to test things out."
The android's eyes began and it fired heat vision at the team.
"Protectus!" Jasmine shouted creating an energy dome to shield her friends.
Jimmy: Nova switch with me.
Nova transformed back into Jimmy.
"Please tell me you know what's going on?" Nick asked Jimmy.
"That android body Calamitous has, has scanned every known mutant and he can use all their powers."
"So like what Savage did." Nate said.
"Yeah but worse. He's not limited to how many mutants he can scan and he can update whatever he scanned before if the mutant gets more powerful."
"So in other words we're fucked." Megan said.
"Guys I can't hold this any longer!" Jasmine groaned.
"So what's the plan Neutron?" Nick asked.
"Nate, as soon as Jasmine drops the shield, get Jet to safety and take him to the rendezvous."
"Right." Nate agreed.
"I'm not leaving." Jet argued.
"I'm sorry Jet but right now you're a normal human and normal humans don't live very long in fights like this."
Despite what he wanted Jet agreed, "Fine, but don't die okay."
"We'll try." Nick smiled trying to reassure his father.
"Don't try. Remember we still need to talk." Jet replied.
In a split second Calamitous broke through the shield, Nate grabbed Jet raced out of the lab and returned.
"Damn, that was almost as fast as your brother." Brittany commented.
"Thanks I try."
"Hey Jimmy, I don't remember you telling us a plan." Nick commented as he charged up electricity.
"Hit him… Hard." Jimmy said as he transformed into Hulk.
"World's smartest man, ladies and gentleman. If we're going out, we might as well do it with style. Lightning Strike!"
Nick fired a bolt of lightning at Calamitous.
Calamitous with a smug grin on his face caught the bolt and shaped it into a ball.
"Flame Orb!" Jasmine shouted as she threw a massive ball of fire.
Calamitous still with the smug look caught the ball of fire.
"Thanks for the gifts kids. But I already have lightning and fire at home. Here, take them back!"
Calamitous combined the two orbs into one and tossed the fusion at the teens creating a massive explosion.
Hulk leaped into the air "Hulk Smash!"
Calamitous used his telekinetic power to accelerate Hulk's downward movement and sent him through the floor.
"More like Hulk Crash!" Calamitous mocked Hulk.
"Whip punch!" Megan stretched her arm back and sling shot it forward at a fast pace.
"Mach Punch!" Nate shouted charging at Calamitous at super fast speed.
Calamitous without looking effortlessly caught both their punches.
Megan and Nate struggled to free themselves, Nate even tried to phase out of Calamitous's grip but the professor just phased his hand at the same time keeping Nate in place.
Brittany armored up and charged straight for the villain.
"You kids have been shouting out attacks like you in some anime. I want to try. How about Sound Bomb!"
Calamitous created a massive shockwave that blasted everyone back, knocking out Megan, Nate and Brittany.
Nick fired another lightning bolt at Calamitous, the villain took the blast and didn't even flinch.
"What the…" Nick said shocked.
"What did you expect? I have the combined durability of Special girl, Hulk, Bull-E and Steel plus your electricity manipulation" You didn't expect to actually hurt me right."
Nick smirked, "No but I do make a great distraction."
Calamitous then noticed that Jasmine had gone missing.
"Where's the magic girl?" he asked Nick.
"Right here!" Jasmine shouted with her body glowing with a pink aura, "Shining moon feed me with your bright light. Give me the power to destroy my enemies in my sight. Grant me power so great and vast so I can unleash Moon Blast!"
Jasmine fired a massive wave of energy at Calamitous that actually sent him flying back through several walls.
"Did that do it?" Nick asked.
"I hope so because I'm out of magic." Jasmine panted.
Calamitous walked back into the room casually.
"Well that was an interesting attack. It might've even damaged me if I didn't absorb it. After I'm done here I'm definitely going to do some research into magic."
Calamitous used super speed to quickly knock out the duo.
"Now what should I do with these kids? Do I kill them, do I use them for experiments, or do both. I wonder where Beautiful Gorgeous and Francis are. Considering that neither of them were in the room when I woke they're either dead or ran either way they're of no use to me anymore so it doesn't matter. Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something."
Hulk's roars echoed around the base as he leaped out of the ground and glared at Calamitous in fury.
"Oh right, him." Calamitous said, barely reacting to Hulk's presence.
Hulk charged at Calamitous and threw a punch, Calamitous interrupted Hulk's momentum by moving him forward faster and dodging Hulk's attack, sending the beast into a wall. Calamitous then lifted Hulk up telekinetically.
"Doesn't really matter how strong you are if you don't have leverage."
Hulk tried to use a thunderclap but Calamitous blocked it with his sound powers.
Jimmy: Hulk switch out!"
Hulk transformed into Etrigan and the self proclaimed demon unleashed a wave of flames on Calamitous but the android came out without a scratch.
"Inferno's flame resistance really comes in handy."
Calamitous telekinetically threw Etrigan into a wall, Nova came flying out of it. She fired an energy blast that Calamitous absorbed.
"You can't fight me either my dear Nova, I have your powers plus I'm not reliant on energy to get stronger." Calamitous kicked Nova into the ground and Venom stretched his arms out with his hands shaped like maces.
Calamitous stretched his arms out to catch both maces. "You're new but I have a feeling you're not a fan of electricity."
Calamitous unleashed a powerful charge of electricity on Venom which caused the alter intense pain forcing him back to Jimmy.
Jimmy dropped into the ground and Calamitous looked down on him.
"Are you ready to give up Neutron? Your alternate personalities are powerful but none of them are a match for me."
Jimmy was crouched down on the ground almost defeated, desperately trying to think of a way out of this situation, he thought and he thought until he remembered Brittany's fight.
"If none of my alters are strong enough to stop you then I'll use all of them."
"What?" Calamitous questioned.
"If awakens are real I'll just have to trigger my own." Jimmy declared as his eyes turned red.
Hulk: Jimmy what are you doing?
The alters in Jimmy's mind felt a power over them.
Nova: What's going on!?
Venom: It feels like he's taking control of us!
Etrigan: Everything's going dark!
Jimmy's body transformed as if it were Hulk, his right arm transformed into Venoms, his left resembled Etrigan's, two lower arms formed that looked like Nova's and the right side of his face changed into Etrigans.
The New chimeric Jimmy roared in anger.
"Well look at you. Let's see if this new form does any better.
Chimera Jimmy charged at Calamitous, Calamitous tried to stop him with his telekinesis but thanks to Nova's ability to fly combined with Etrigan's fire manipulation propelled Chimera Jimmy with enough force to resist Calamitous and charge through.
Chimera Jimmy tackled Calamitous back into the forest. Calamitous blasted Jimmy off of him using a sound blast which sent Chimera Jimmy flying back, Chimera Jimmy stretched out his venom arm to grab the ground and sling shot himself forward and unleash a powerful punch that created a massive crater, before Chimera Jimmy could give him another punch Calamitous kicked him back, Calamitous fired his heat vision at Chimera Jimmy, Chimera Jimmy absorbed the shot and punched Calamitous again with an energy enhanced fist which sent him flying to the other side of the island.
Calamitous let out an excited smile. "He's a lot tougher than I originally thought I might have to do something big."
As Chimera Jimmy was flying towards Calamitous the villain unleashed a powerful attack that consisted of Force's Telekinetic blast, Carl's sonic blast, Inferno's flames, and Nick's lightning.
The blast was so powerful it reduced the luscious forest in front of Calamitous into nothing more than a desert. Jet, who was lucky enough to be on the other side of the island, felt the ground shake and the earth split. Chimera Jimmy took the hit and was sent flying and hit the ground hard enough to make a massive crater.
Calamitous flew to Chimera Jimmy and remained overhead to see his next move.
Chimera Jimmy stood up and roared loudly, Calamitous prepared for another attack but stopped as Chimera Jimmy changed back into Jimmy and passed out.
Calamitous's face went dead serious. "I need to kill this boy now. That mutation of his is far more powerful than I ever imagined. I couldn't even scan him, His DNA was in such flux. If his powers evolved any further it could become a problem for me."
Calamitous charged up one of Nova's energy beams and fired it at Jimmy's unconscious body.
Jimmy's right index finger began to glow, Jimmy's body quickly reacted and redirected the energy back at Calamitous's head which sent the professor back.
"What the…!?" Calamitous said, shocked.
Jimmy's body stood back up. "You woke me up."
"Who are you?" Calamitous asked.
"Me, no one important." Jimmy's body said while scratching his head with Calamitous's left arm.
Calamitous looked at Jimmy's body, shocked he checked for his arm and was extremely stunned by what just happened. He had Special girl and Flash's ability to accelerate their brains, plus the combined durability of Special girl, Steel, Hulk, Etrigan, Nova, Bull-E, and the elastic bodies of Venom and Miss Stretch. And somehow whoever this was bypassed all his defenses, "How… How did you do that!"
"I dunno, just felt like it." Jimmy's body groggily replied.
Jimmy's body finally opened his eyes revealing they had remained a deep crimson red color.
"Guess if I'm out I might as well have some fun." Jimmy's body said.
His body began to become paler and his hair changed into a snow white.
"You must be a new alter. Who are you?" Calamitous asked, trying to get more information out of this new being.
"Your executioner." the new Alter smirked.
The alters right ring finger began to glow, he then disappeared and reappeared instantly behind Calamitous, his right pinky finger began to glow and the new Alter lightly tapped Calamitous's shoulder and Calamitous was sent crashing down into the earth and hit it hard enough to make a deep crater.
The Alter landed on the ground and waited for Calamitous to pop back up. He felt the ground shake and his left index finger began to glow.
Calamitous shot out of the ground at an incredible speed, the alter just gave him a confident smirk.
"Who is this guy? He moves faster and hits harder than any recorded mutant. I can't even scan him. What the hell is going on?"
"Your cybernetic brain must be hurting from trying to figure me out. You could just ask me. I don't mind telling." the Alter mocked him.
This really irritated Calamitous he was done thinking about this new Alter of Jimmy's he's just going to dispose of him. Calamitous fired another fusion attack at the Alter that devastated the land on the island, the new Alter's right index finger glowed again and with a simple back wave he sent the blast back at Calamitous.
The destruction from the blast was big enough to destroy a chunk of the island, when things calmed down Calamitous could be seen lying on the ground with his android body heavily damaged.
"This can't be happening." Calamitous said to himself.
Suddenly Calamitous felt a weight on his back.
"Aren't I glad this isn't my island." the Alter said, sitting on top of Calamitous while making a pose like the thinker. "I wonder how you're going to explain this to your insurance. Can you even insure an island? Life has many wonderful questions."
A furious Calamitous tossed the Alter off of his back and threw a powerful punch at him, the Alter's right pinky glowed again and he took the punch and didn't move an inch or flinch.
"Okay, okay. If it's such a sore spot for you I'll take the blame for the damages." he said with a laissez faire attitude. "But." the Alter reached out and broke through Calamitous's chest plate and took out a red orb. "I will need some collateral to make sure you pay me back."
The Alter then began walking away with the orb still in his hand. "And what do we have here? A Xenuthium core. Wow, didn't I ever see one of these. Weren't they band because of how unstable the cores can be."
"You fool! You'll destroy us all if that core explodes!" Calamitous shouted.
"Really!? It'll explode!?" the Alter said in a playful tone. "Let's see what that looks like!"
The orb began to glow brighter and brighter by the second, the Alter's left pinky began to glow. Calamitous braced himself for the blast, as soon as the core exploded it wasn't a large explosion like Calamitous was expecting, instead it was a tiny poof like a dud firework.
"You liar, I thought you said it was going to explode. What a disappointment."
Calamitous was left frozen from shock he had no idea what was happening anymore the only thing he did know was the being in front of him was dangerous and psychotic and he needed to get away as fast as possible but he couldn't the core powered his android body and without it he was running on reserves and he couldn't use any of the powers he had accumulated.
"Anyway, I think we're done here. That body of yours will shut down soon and I wonder what will happen to you. Will you just fall asleep, will you die. I'm so curious to see what happens but I have another idea."
The Alter's right middle finger began to glow, he put his hand on Calamitous's head he raised his hand and Calamitous felt a power come over him, it was like he was leaving his own body. A blue aura followed the Alter's hand and formed into a ball.
"What happened to me!?" Calamitous exclaimed with a panicked voice.
"Don't worry your little head doctor, I just pulled out your soul."
"What!?"
"Now what should I do to you? Consume your soul and assimilate it into mine and erase you from existence. No, I wouldn't want some old codger inside me. Just let you go to the afterlife. No, that's not fun at all. Oh I know." the Alter said excitedly.
The Alter's left ring finger glowed and a portal formed in front of him, he stepped through it with Calamitous's soul still in his hand and returned to the lab.
The Alter walked to Calamitous's body, his right middle finger glowed again and he put Calamitous's soul back in his body.
"How did you… What did you…" Calamitous could barely form any words.
"Explaining the concept of the soul to you would take too long and I don't have much time left."
"What do you want from me?" Calamitous asked.
The Alter's left middle finger glowed and he touched Calamitous and morphed him from an old man in his seventies to a man in his mid thirties.
"Why did you…!?"
"You were an old man on death's door. For what I need from you I need you to be nice and healthy."
"Again, what do you want from me?"
The Alter's left ring finger glowed and another portal formed.
"This portal will take you to Savage. I want you to help him with whatever plan he has."
"Why would I do that? I don't work under anyone."
The Alter's face went serious as if the slightest irritation would cause him to kill Calamitous which the scientist noticed.
"You're going to start now. I need Savage to have the highest chance of success."
"Why?"
"Because his success is Jimmy's pain and I need Jimmy to fall into despair."
"Again why. I thought you alters live to serve him."
The Alter let out a chuckle, "We alters are all fragmented parts of Jimmy's psyche. Hulk is his anger, Etrigan is his fear, Nova is his pain, Venom is his survival instinct but me I'm different. My name is Diablo and I am the personification of Jimmy's Neutron's hatred."
An Ominous dark aura enveloped Diablo, Calamitous didn't know if the aura was real or not all he knew was it left him utterly terrified.
"And there is only one thing I want. Destruction." he said in an almost excited tone, "And to get that I need Jimmy's hatred to grow and Savage is his trigger. Right now Savage's team is currently weaker than Neutron's. The scales need to be tipped back in their favor and that's where you come in. Help Savage destroy the N-Men."
"Why would you go so far?"
"Simple I could kill you and everyone on this island and back in Retroville but that won't get me the result I want. Jimmy has to be brought to the edge of despair before I take over otherwise the other alters will just stop me again. So go to Savage and help him. Or do I need to give you more incentive?"
"Just one last question. Why would you take such a risk, if Savage and I join forces we may be able to kill you."
Diablo kept his smile. "Games are more fun when they're unpredictable."
Calamitous didn't want to follow Diablo's orders but he knew he didn't have any choice he needed to destroy this monster before he became too powerful.
"Fine. I'll do it."
"And remember this Calamitous. You tell anyone about meeting me. I'll consume your soul."
Calamitous, without looking at Diablo, walked through the portal and disappeared.
Diablo's face turned very serious. "Time's almost up. Better get back into place."
Diablo opened another portal and made it back to the empty husk of the android.
"This should be enough evidence to prove they won."
Diablo collapsed to the ground and changed back into Jimmy.
"Uh… What happened?" Jimmy groaned.
Jimmy looked on at the absolute carnage that surrounded the destroyed island.
"What happened here? Is everyone still there?"
Hulk: I'm here.
Etrigan: So am I.
Nova: I'm fine.
Venom: Here.
"Does anyone remember what happened?" Jimmy asked.
Hulk: No.
Etrigan: Not I
Nova: Same here.
Venom: Same.
Jimmy then looked at the destroyed android. "I guess we beat him. But… Why doesn't it feel right?"
Jimmy was about to dwell on his feelings until he heard helicopters flying towards the island. "I guess Jet called the agency. Let's go check on the others."
Back on the beach Jet was eagerly waiting for Baker's reinforcements when suddenly he heard a voice.
"I guess it's all over." Beautiful said as she formed in front of Jet.
"I guess so. Those kids are something else."
"Wish there were people like them when I was growing up." Beautiful lamented.
"So what are you going to do now?" Jet asked.
"I don't know."
"You could come with us. The agency could use someone with your skills."
Beautiful smirked. "It's too late for me to be a good guy now."
"It's never too late, especially when you're a woman as incredible as yourself."
"Always the flatterer Jet Fusion."
"I do my best."
"I'll be seeing you around Jet." Beautiful tried to morph back into water but couldn't. She turned to see Jet using his powers to negate her powers.
"Guess those cures of yours need more testing."
Beautiful smiled accepting her fate.
BTSO HQ
Med Bay
08:40 AM
After everything that happened on the island the N-Force were taken back to BTSO HQ for medical care, and rest. Thankfully no one was seriously injured by Calamitous. Nick suffered a broken wrist, Megan and Nate because of his accelerated healing factor and her elastic body were fine, Brittany was resting after getting a concussion, and Jasmine had two broken fingers.
Jimmy came to visit his friends and brought a big tray full of food from the cafeteria. "Hey guys hope you're all okay."
"We'll live." Nate said, taking three slices of pizza from Jimmy's tray.
"My first big mission and all I got was a couple of broken fingers. I see this as an absolute win." Jasmine said, while taking both the pudding and jello from Jimmy's tray.
"J-Man!" Nate shouted, super speeding towards the boy genius and taking five mini burgers off of the tray. "Thanks for the food."
Megan stretched her arm and grabbed the salad. "Yeah."
"I don't know why you still exclusively eat salads. Even if you gain weight you can just stretch yourself back to being skinny."
"Hey, I really like salads."
"Where's Jet?" Jimmy asked.
"The so-called world's greatest spy is having his brain checked for any additional brainwashing." Nick answered.
"What about you?" Jasmine asked.
"Hulk's super regeneration heals me 100%. I could even lose an arm or my head and I'll be fine."
"So what did you need Neutron?" Nick asked.
"Well since you found Jet. I wanted to ask you guys whether or not you wanted to join the team."
"Really!?" Nick asked, a bit surprised.
"Why?" Megan asked.
"Our enemies are getting stronger and all of us being split up isn't really helping. If I wasn't there you guys would've died, if you guys weren't there when we faced Savage the N-Men would've died. It's clear we're all stronger together."
The N-Force took a moment to think about what Jimmy had asked them but before they could say anything Commander Baker walked in.
"I think that's a great idea." he said.
"Baker." Jimmy said.
"I think you kids should take Neutron's offer."
"Why." Nick asked.
"We have reason to believe Calamitous isn't dead."
Everyone was shocked by this news.
"What did you learn?" Jimmy asked.
"We inspected the android's brain and there was nothing there, and our team that's investigating the island failed to find Calamitous's body or any remains."
"So somehow he escaped." Jimmy said.
"But we'll talk about that later. Jimmy, I need to speak to you in private."
Commander Baker brought Jimmy into his office.
"So what did you need from me?" Jimmy asked.
"I'm giving you this." Baker said, handing Jimmy a hard drive.
"What's this?"
"That's the data we collected from Calamitous. I want you to have it."
"I thought you'd give this to your superiors?" Jimmy asked.
"The things in there are too dangerous to tell them about. After all you know as well as I do how they can be."
"You're right about that. So what are you going to tell them?" Jimmy asked.
"Don't worry about me, I know how to handle those old fossils." Baker smirked.
"If you're sure."
"There's just one thing in Agent Fusion's report: how the android was defeated was left pretty vague."
"I don't know myself, I triggered an awakening which caused me to merge with all of my alters, we fought for a bit then Calamitous hit us with some big attack and everything went dark after that."
"Is that so?" Baker said a bit intrigued.
"Yeah, none of us remember what happened."
"Well I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I'll send you kids back to Retroville at around lunch so rest up you did a great job."
"Thanks." Jimmy replied.
Jimmy left Baker's office and didn't want to admit that ever since he fought Calamitous he felt different as if something inside of him had been awoken. He wondered if the last alter had popped up but he only felt the four he had before. He decided to rest to see if he felt better later.
Back in the Med Bay Jet came to check on the kids.
"I see all of you are in bright spirits." he commented.
"Dad. How did the test go?" Nick asked.
"The eggheads said I'm clean, I should be back in active duty in a few days."
"So you're not coming with us." Nick said with an air of disappointment in his voice.
The rest of the team took that as que to leave except Brittany who was still sleeping.
"I can't come back, Nick."
"Why?"
"Sixteen years ago I was assigned to Retroville on a mission to take out… Well that doesn't matter now. I completed my mission and an extraction was being planned for me. When the Neutron Chamber exploded that provided me with perfect means of leaving."
Nick was a bit disappointed but he needed to know more. "So tell me. We're Mom and I a lie, were we just a part of your cover."
"In all honesty no. In fact the organization almost assassinated me for getting involved with Theresa but I didn't care. I loved you both so much I risked it. But when I was called back I had to make a choice: fake my death so you both could live peaceful lives or bring you into the fold. And I couldn't do that. This life was my choice and I couldn't just uproot your lives like that."
"I see." Nick said, trying to process the information.
"I understand if you hate me. What I did was selfish." Jet continued.
"I don't hate you. But I won't lie. I am fighting the urge to punch you in the face."
"Understandable." Jet said.
"But I get it. After everything I've been through these last couple of months I understand why you did what you did. The world is a lot more fucked up than people want to admit and it needs people like you to protect it."
"Thanks son." Jet said.
"Can I just ask you for one thing?"
"What?" Jet asked.
"Can I tell Mom you're alive? I'm sure she'll keep your secret."
"Sorry Nick but no. Your mother deserves to move on with her life. She shouldn't spend it waiting for a spy like me. It's best if she thinks I'm dead."
"Fine. Can I at least see you again?"
Jet thought about it for a second and smiled. "Sure but I'll call you."
Nick raised his arm and father and son hugged each other.
Retroville
After Calamitous was sent through the portal
Summertime Bar
Savage and his minions were still trying to concoct a way to safely make mutants stronger.
An explosion happened inside Martha's lab and Savage, Martha and Miss T left it completely dissatisfied with whatever results they got.
"Another failure!" Savage shouted.
"It's not my fault you daughter can't keep up with my power." Miss T said.
"I ran the calculations. I don't know what went wrong." Martha said, unsure of her work.
"We need to power ourselves up. The N-Men are getting stronger everyday."
"I'm sorry Dad I just don't know."
At that moment Diablo's portal opened and Calamitous opened it. Miss T got ready to attack.
"Savage." he called out.
It took a minute for Savage to recognize the young Calamitous but he remembered him from old newspapers he read long ago.
"Finbarr Calamitous. You're looking young for your age. What's your secret?"
"I'm not here for pleasantries, Savage. I came here to help you."
"Help me why?" Savage asked. "You've never been the team player type."
"I'm not. But I need your help to kill that boy."
"Which boy?" Savage asked.
"Jimmy Neutron!" Calamitous said with pure hatred in his heart.
Savage smiled and laughed. "Well I think you and I have some things to talk about."
Jimmy's Mind
Diablo's Room
Diablo sat in a chair patiently waiting for something.
"Just a little longer, Jimmy. Just a little longer. And we'll be able to destroy everything together."
That's it. Thanks for reading, and I apologize for how long it took for this chapter to come out. I've been busy, but that's no excuse.
We've reached the last alter, so let me tell you about him. I won't explain it too much in the future.
His power is called ten fingers. Each finger, including the thumbs, contains a power.
Diablo isn't capable of using two powers at the same time. If a finger is destroyed, the power it contains is lost.
List of powers

Index: Redirect Energy
Middle: Soul Removal/Injection
Ring: Time Stop
Pinky: Enhance
Thumb: Destruction Touch
