Hey, everybody! The next chapter is fresh and full of crazy excitement! I'm introducing the next two shows into the plot of the story! The plot will become involved with the characters as they see the truth. Can you guess what the shows are? Read and you will see! Anyways, let's get going!
Chapter 7: A Greater Scope
(At Anti-SB's fortress, some guards are monitoring Doofenshmirtz, who is trying to build his machine.)
Doofenshmirtz: Man, this feels like a hard of work. Normally, it would be more easier when I'm building inators. Can I take a break?
Guard: No breaks. You can stop when you finish.
Doofenshmirtz: Aw, man, that's not fair! Then again, my horoscope said that I would be in suffering until I complete something important. Fair enough. (resumes building)
(The pets, who are in shackles, notice a nearby vent on the ceiling. Spot morphs out, and Perry uses him as a key to free themselves. They then race towards Doofenshmirtz. Gary uses his snail slime to melt the shackles on him, too.)
Guard: Hey, what are you pets doing out of your cells? Get back there! Let's get them! (two guards race after the group, holding laser whips, yelling)
Doofenshmirtz: Thank you for saving me! Now let's get out of here!
(The doctor and pets run away from the guards. They avoid moving ledges, jump over desks, and crawl under giant pineapples. They soon reach the edge.)
Doofenshmirtz: Well, there's no way out of here! What are you gonna do now?
(As the guards race towards the group, they jump off the window; Doofenshmirtz is screaming.)
Doofenshmirtz: Falling to our death is not one of our options! (resumes screaming, until Perry activates his parachute) Oh, yeah, I forgot about that parachute.
Guard #1: They're getting away!
Guard #2: Not for long! (fires a harpoon at the parachute and it rips; the harpoon turns into a plunger and hits Doofenshmirtz, which absorbs something from his mind. The plunger lets go of Doofenshmirtz's head, and he and the pets resume falling) We don't need him. We have the blueprints from his mind right here.
(The group continues falling until Doofenshmirtz notices a blue train approaching.)
Doofenshmirtz: Get ready, train on schedule!
(They try to reach the top of the train, but they miss. Luckily, they reach the handles on the sides.)
Doofenshmirtz: Whoo, talk about luck! Let's rest while we formulate a new plan to get back.
(As the doctor and pets enter the train, Perry notices his owners, but decides to head back in for a little while. On the train, an information message is heard as they group checks out the train.)
Message: To all upcoming guests, welcome aboard the Express. We're sure that you will enjoy it here. We have a wide range of varieties. Snacks, pools, and movies. Enjoy the ride, and thank you.
Doofenshmirtz: Wow, this train has everything. I wonder why this doesn't come more often.
(Meanwhile, Phineas, Ferb, Patrick and the rest of the group notice the nearby portal and the people coming out of it.)
Buford: Please don't let it be aliens! I can't be abducted again!
Lucas: You were abducted once?
Baljeet: Yeah, it was a rather unpleasant experience.
Phineas: We'd rather forget about that.
(Out from the swirling colored portal comes four people; two boys and two girls. One of the boys was the tallest, while the other was the smallest. One of the girls had a red headband.)
Riley: Hey, who are you people?
Girl: Who are you? We just noticed a mysterious looking portal, and long story short, we got sucked in.
Tall Boy: Yeah, it was rather crazy. There was so much rifts and wacky stuff happening.
Girl: Well, let's just introduce ourselves. My name is Alex Russo.
Candace: Alex Russo? A weird name.
Alex: It's short for "Alexandra." The tall one, that's my "perfect" brother, Justin.
Justin: Hey; the dynamic between me and my sister is complicated.
Alex: "Complicated" refers to the fact I annoy him much of the time. Over there is Max, our younger brother.
Max: Hey, I have a lot of great charisma in here. But I also know the great qualities.
Alex: And that is my best friend, Harper. She has a crazy fashion design.
Harper: Hey, my fashion is not crazy! It just has some "artistic" views.
Riley: Hmm, a girl with a good fashion design. I think I like her.
Maya: Riley, i support your decision... but I feel the clothing a bit crazy.
Phineas: Anyways, we're trying to locate our friend. He's a sponge, buck teeth, eyelashes...
Max: Wait, your friend is a sponge? Awesome!
Mr. Krabs: Yeah, you should see the fry cooking he does. He can completely feed an entire town blindfolded!
Alex: Oh, big deal, I can do the same thing.
Justin: You'd easily give up on the first try.
Alex: Hey, I'm not a quitter!
(Suddenly, a light shines on the group, where a helicopter is approaching, with there being some guys on board.)
Plankton: Hey, have you come to save us?
Guy: We have come for him! (points to Patrick)
Patrick: Me?! Why?!
Guy #2: Our boss finds you and his friend public enemies number one! Take them down!
(They shoot arrows directly at the group, but they narrowly dodge them.)
Squidward: Are you out of your mind?!
Guy: Capture them! And make sure the sea star is caught! Our boss needs him alive!
(Lasers are fired directly at the group as everyone tries to avoid the beams.)
Squidward: We gotta get out of here!
Isabella: Hurry, everyone! Into the train!
(Everyone races onto the inside of the train.)
Patrick: I'm barricading the door! (tries to push a drawer, but fails)
Phineas: Hey, the signal's getting stronger! If we head further into the train, we can locate Perry!
Harper: Who's Perry?
Phineas: Our pet platypus. He's a secret agent, and we too had that reaction about that last part.
Alex: Okay, let's just go.
(Everyone heads forward. On the helicopter, the guy makes a call.)
Guy: Hey, we know where's the star at, but no sign of the sponge.
Anti-SB: Don't worry. I know exactly where he is. All we need to do is to bring the train to him. Activate Insect Hijack Protocol A17.
Guy #2: Gotcha. (presses a button on his wrist device, which releases a small robotic insect. It flies onto the train and towards the engine room. It chews on the wires, causing the train's lights to flicker and the train to turn in the other direction)
Doofenshmirtz: What's happening?!
(The train heads directly back to the city, which is very high from where the group is.)
(Meanwhile, with the other group, the portal is having some people come out.)
SpongeBob: Who is it? Is it the Grim Reaper?
Sandy: Don't be such a baby; the Grim Reaper doesn't hunt anybody down. Well, unless they're cheating death.
(Out from the portal comes three people; two girls and one boy. They respectively have brown, yellow, and black hair.)
SpongeBob: More people?
Brown-Haired Girl: Who are you? I should be scared and weirded out on seeing a talking sponge, but it's not as crazy as what's happening here.
SpongeBob: I believe we should introduce ourselves. My name is SpongeBob, and the squirrel - that's Sandy. And who are you?
Brown-Haired Girl: My name is Miley. And these are my best friends, (points to the blonde girl) Lilly, (points to the black-haired boy) and Oliver.
Lilly: Hey, kid, you got great structure. I heard sponges are practically squishy. Is that true?
SpongeBob: Yes; a bully tried to beat me up once, but my body absorbed the blows, so I got out okay.
Miley: I wish I had such abilities like you. That way, I can't feel pain if someone tries to hurt me.
SpongeBob: Believe me. Everyone has. Well, let's introduce everyone else now and explain what's happening.
(time card...)
French Narrator: 5 minutes later...
(back to present...)
SpongeBob: ...and that's what happened. Understand now?
Oliver: Okay, I get much of it... except for that box part.
Sandy: The Portal Box; a magical relic that can allow anyone to go across any universe in any time. Now you get it?
Oliver: Mostly.
Emma: So, how exactly are we to find your friend?
SpongeBob: Hmm, I don't know. Let me check. (takes out binoculars and checks the sky) Nothing in reach. Except a blue, winged, neon-light train heading directly for us. (realizing) Wait, what? (checks again and sees the train heading straight towards them) Oh, no... everyone, get down!
(Everyone dodges/jumps out of the way as the train races onto the road. For a moment in slow-motion, SpongeBob sees Patrick on the train.)
Patrick: (distorted) SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: (distorted) Patrick?
(Things return to normal motion as the train, setting down on the road, speeds rapidly as it heads into the city.)
Sandy: Why is that train on the roads?
SpongeBob: More importantly, how did my friend get on there? We need to catch up! Luckily, I have a plan. (takes out a rope) Now all we need is a hook.
Cyd: How about this paper clip? I forgot about keeping it in my pocket.
SpongeBob: Thanks. (ties the clip to the rope and swings it very fast before throwing it. It reaches the door handle on the train) Everyone, grab onto each other! (everyone does so, wrapping their arms around the other) This may get a little intense.
Jessie: Wait, what do you mean intense... (everyone is pulled by the moving train)
(As the train speeds out of control, the rope tries desperately to hold on as the group holds onto said rope. They land onto the inside of one of the train cars.)
Ravi: The landing was surprisingly soft. (looks at sign) "Soft Carpet Room?" That explains it.
Sandy: Come on, we need to find him. (everyone races out of the car and heads further upfront on the train.)
(Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz and the pets are in the engine room, trying to stop the train.)
Doofenshmirtz: There has to be a button in here somewhere! Anything to stop this train! (presses random buttons and moves levers up and down. Perry presses random buttons, Spot is trying to move a lever down, and Gary is trying to press every button possible to stop the train. Suddenly, a thump is heard) What was that?
(They check and they see two guys with helmets, wielding swords.)
Doofenshmirtz: (laughs) I'm sorry. You're not exactly dangerous...(gets punched in the stomach by one of the guys) Ok, I rethink that decision...(falls over and back on the car)
(The guys hold out their swords as they race towards the pets. Gary and Spot move into the train as Perry fights off the guys. He slides under them, kicks them from behind and dodges a guy's sword. He knocks one onto the ground and kicks the other one's leg, causing them to fall too.)
(Meanwhile, Patrick and his group are racing across the train cars.)
Phineas: Hurry, the signal's getting stronger! (suddenly, a nearby window gets shattered with holes all over it)
Mr. Krabs: What the barnacle?!
(A helicopter is speeding towards the train.)
Anti-SB: (via radio) Activate jellybean turrets.
(They activate the turrets, which shoots jellybeans directly at the group, the speed of them being like bullets.)
Isabella: Jellybeans? Whatever's happening here is a real mystery. (a jellybean hits her arm) Ow! For such tasty snacks, they really pack a punch.
(Everyone tries to avoid getting hit by the jellybeans as more guys storm the train. They rip open the door.)
Soldier: (holding laser sword) Alright, hands in the air, now!
Mr. Krabs: You want a fight? I'm gonna give you one! (he attacks the soldiers; he grabs the arm of one and throws him to the rest, then grabs one of the legs of another and tosses him up and down) That's what a captain does! (more jellybeans hits the train car and one of them hits the wheel, causing it to spin out of control)
Plankton: Oh, no...
(Everyone screams as they are moving rapidly in a circular motion trapped to the walls of the car as it spins rapidly out of control.)
(Meanwhile, SpongeBob, Sandy, and the rest of their friends are trying to race through the train cars. Suddenly, the place starts to rattle.)
SpongeBob: Uh-oh. We got incoming! (more guys approach as jellybeans are fired in all directions; everyone ducks for cover)
Shelby: This is madness! How did we get caught up in the conflict?!
Sandy: I'm not sure; I guess fate brought us here!
Cyd: Are those jellybeans? (grabs one and eats it, then spits it out) Black jellybeans? Why does this even exist?
(Suddenly, some guards grab SpongeBob.)
SpongeBob: Hey! What are you doing?! Let me go!
Guard: Boss, we got him.
Anti-SB: (via radio) Excellent.
Sandy: Hey! Let my friend go! I'm a master at karate! (puts on gloves and tackles the guards)
SpongeBob: Whoa, amazing!
Zuri: Now that's a strong girl! I wonder, should I want to be like her?
(Everyone keeps moving. Meanwhile, the train car continues to spin.)
Squidward: Any suggestions to get the train car to stop spinning out of control?
Candace: (noticing a green button on the wall) There's a green button over there! We need to press it!
Patrick: I can do it!
Plankton: No, wait, you have to time your move... (Patrick starts moving) perfectly.
Patrick: (gets hit by the moving furniture, but he stretches his hand just far enough to reach the button; he presses it) I got it!
(The room stops rotating and everyone falls to the ground. They groan from the moving room speeding so very quickly.)
Riley: (puts a hand on her forehead) I think my brain's still spinning.
Harper: You and me both.
(More jellybeans are fired as the group tries to dodge.)
Alex: Let's worry about that later. I'd rather not get hit by moving snacks.
(The group continues moving. Meanwhile, Perry is fighting more guys approaching. Doofenshmirtz is trying to find a brake. He locates it.)
Doofenshmirtz: Perry the Platypus, I located the brake! (he pulls it, and the entire train begins to stop. The guys onboard fall overboard, and everyone else inside the train falls down) Well, that was rather unpleasant.
Soldier: Boss, the train stopped.
Anti-SB: (via radio) Perfect. We need the train car for parts of a machine that can be activated with the aid of the Portal Box.
Soldier #2: (to all others via radio) Bring the hooks down! We need that car!
(A giant airship approaches and some guys hold out the hooks before attaching them to the car.)
(Meanwhile, SpongeBob, Sandy, and their friends continue moving.)
SpongeBob: I think we're getting close...(bumps into someone) Hey, it's like pink and... (realizing) Patrick?
Patrick: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Whew! That was crazy! I thought we might never find you.
Miley: So your best friend is a starfish? You didn't tell us that.
Sandy: And I'm a squirrel. Guess we don't exactly go towards the meaning of craziness.
SpongeBob: Well, now that the reunion's happened, let's introduce everyone else. (suddenly, a rattle happens) Uh, what is that?
Baljeet: Probably the wind? (a rattle happens again)
Luke: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that wind doesn't make a train move.
(Everyone notices out the window and there are some soldiers holding rope. They attach them directly to the corners on the top of the train car. A nearby helicopter approaches and it's revealed to be tied with the rope. The pilot presses a button, which causes the ropes to pull up, lifting the train car as well, with the kids inside. Perry notices and pulls out his grappling hook, before shooting it directly at the window of the moving train car. Doofenshmirtz and the pets grab onto the platypus before going up.)
Doofenshmirtz: This wouldn't be the first time I am on a flying train.
Patrick: Hey, why is the world growing bigger?
Sandy: It's not growing bigger; we're being carried away!
(Suddenly, the lights flicker ominously as everyone grows anxious.)
Squidward: Um, is that supposed to do that?
(The lights flicker intensely as an ominous figure creeps up, stalking the group. Then suddenly, a mysterious figure grabs Patrick, who begins screaming in horror.)
Patrick: Help! Some masked guy has caught me!
SpongeBob: Patrick! Don't worry; I'll save you! (tries to use the rope to save him by tying it around his foot, but is carried away; he tries to hold on by putting his feet near the window, but they slip away; fortunately, Sandy grabs them)
Sandy: Don't worry, little buddy, we got ya!
(Everyone tries to hold on to her.)
Mr. Krabs: Alright, everyone, push! (everyone tries to push back) Heave!
Everyone: Ho!
Mr. Krabs: Heave!
Everyone: Ho!
Mr. Krabs: Heave!
Everyone: Ho!
Mr. Krabs: Come on, pull!
(Suddenly, Sandy loses her grip on SpongeBob's feet, and as a result, he flies out the window.)
(In the air, SpongeBob is holding onto his friend as the masked man swings them around.)
SpongeBob: Who are you? And what do you want with me?
(The masked man tosses the two directly onto the roof of the train car as it continues going into the air. The masked man sticks out his claws, before menacingly approaching the two.)
Masked Man: What I want with you? The real question you should be asking is, what do I want with you and your friend?
SpongeBob: Who are you?
(The man takes his mask off, revealing it to be Anti-SB.)
SpongeBob: You're that guy in that vision. You're real?
Anti-SB: Obviously. But what you want to hear, (reaches near to the sponge's cheek), isn't what you think. (walks away)
SpongeBob: What I think?
Anti-SB: Oh, you simple-minded fool. The world is seen as a place of heavens, a world where the beings of light shine bright. But in reality, it's just a ghost town filled with dark secrets that people have held all their lives. But your friend has kept something from you. He has the weakness of a coward, and the intelligence of a liar.
SpongeBob: What? (looks at his friend, highly suspicious)
(Meanwhile, back on the train, everyone else hears a beeping noise.)
Lilly: What is that noise?
Isabella: Um, I think I know... (sees a small green satellite-like dish with a glowing red beam; everyone else also notices)
Sandy: (reads inscription) "Activated Satellite Device? High-tech machinery that can target a specific object or personality?"
Zuri: What is this stuff?
Barry: This is high-tech equipment. Like scientist-level equipment. Who would need this stuff?
(Suddenly, there is rapid banging at the door as soldiers break in.)
Soldiers: (numerous speaking at same time) Move! Move!/ Go!/ Move!/ Go! Go!
Lead Soldier: Grab the equipment.
(The soldiers seize the device from the group and fly off. Unbeknownst to any of them, a device falls out of one of them and onto the ground.)
Phineas: Hmm, what is it? (picks it up; the device resembles a walkie-talkie/radio device) How do you activate it? (presses some button and the machine overhears Anti-SB talking to SpongeBob and Patrick) What are they saying? (everyone reaches closer to hear)
(On the rooftop...)
SpongeBob: What are you saying about my friend?
Anti-SB: What I'm saying is that he's a liar and a coward. He has no moral implications about the causes of his wrongdoings. He is a curse that must be eliminated.
Patrick: What? I'm not a curse.
Anti-SB: (laughs sarcastically) Oh, right. You say that, but in reality, you're just a piece of stupid garbage!
SpongeBob: (getting upset) Hey, watch what you're saying about my friend.
Patrick: Yeah. SpongeBob's my best friend. He would lay down his life for me!
Anti-SB: Like you would do the same. (Patrick grows confused)
Patrick: What do you mean by that?
Anti-SB: Let me regale you. Remember your little "project?"
SpongeBob: Project? What the heck are you talking about?
Anti-SB: That project - the one where you tried an experiment. (holds a black ball; he tosses it into the air, creating a realistic black-and-white vision. In it, SpongeBob and Patrick are standing near a box that's on a table)
SpongeBob: Okay, we're ready. Goggles on. (he and Patrick, wearing test suits, put their goggles on) We're ready.
Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob, are you sure we should this?
SpongeBob: It's my one chance. If it fails, then what do I left to bounce back on?
Patrick: Hey, if it doesn't work... (looks at his friend) ...we can fix it.
SpongeBob: I'm sure we can. Ready?
Patrick: Ready.
(SpongeBob presses the button on a console and he and Patrick notice the box spinning, and it begins to float in mid-air.)
SpongeBob: It works. It works! (he and Patrick laugh and celebrate their victory)
(Suddenly, the box starts to electrocute.)
Patrick: Um, SpongeBob...
SpongeBob: Huh? (sees the flickering box) It's not supposed to do that. (the box pulses and rapidly switches colors) Oh, no... get down!
(He and Patrick duck as the box electrocutes some explosive canisters and they explode, causing SpongeBob and Patrick to fly out of the room. The vision ends soon after.)
SpongeBob: Our project? Wait, I remember. Patrick, we did that project for the Jellyfish Enthusiasts Scientific Skills Club.
Patrick: The J.E.S.S. club?
SpongeBob: We were going to head for Scientific, Care, And Researching jelly club. You got your invite, and I... I... (realizing) I didn't...
Anti-SB: Ouch. That hurts. But this will all be over soon. (holds out his laser sword and reactivates his mask) Time to shoot down a shooting star.
(Anti-SB raises his sword and tries to kill Patrick, but SpongeBob pushes him out of the way. Anti-SB swings his sword at the friends, but they miss the numerous hits he tries. Perry approaches the two, and tries to help them, but Anti-SB grabs him by the neck.)
Anti-SB: You pathetic animal. This isn't your fight.
(He tosses Perry out, but Doofenshmirtz grabs his hand.)
Doofenshmirtz: I got you, Perry the Platypus! (his hand is grabbed by Anti-SB)
Anti-SB: A mad scientist? More like a failure scientist.
(He tosses the doctor down and resumes fighting the friends. At one point, he strikes his sword down onto the inside of the train. He grabs Patrick by the neck.)
Anti-SB: Pathetic. A worthless creature can't fight the power of a god.
(Suddenly, SpongeBob pushes his friend out of the way. Anti-SB grabs them both, rises into the air, and throws them down, crashing onto the inside of the train car, leaving a gaping hole, as everyone notices. Anti-SB menacingly enters the train car as everyone feels frightened by his terrifying behavior; the villain holds his sword out, preparing to strike. Doofenshmirtz and the pets notice, also horrified.)
Sandy: Who is that?
SpongeBob: That's... (gets grabbed in the arm by Anti-SB)
Anti-SB: (menacingly whispering in the ear) You tell anyone of my identity, and I will kill you all. (tosses the sponge aside)
Alex: I know I'm a rebellious girl, but even he scares me.
Maya: You and me both, it's like he has no heart.
(Anti-SB approaches the group, monitoring them.)
Patrick: I know who he is! He's... (gets zapped unconscious by Anti-SB and blasted out of the train car)
SpongeBob: No! (reaches out just enough to grab him, and tries to hold onto the train handle) Don't worry, Patrick! I got you! (his hand begins to slip) Oh, no, I'm slipping! (his hand lets go, but Riley grabs it)
Riley: Don't worry, that's what friends do; help each other! (pulls them both back on)
(Anti-SB climbs onto the top and cuts the first out of four ropes, causing the train to slant slightly.)
Max: Um, what are you doing?
(Anti-SB cuts the second, causing the train to fall slightly.)
Shelby: He's cutting the ropes!
Cyd: No, stop!
(Anti-SB cuts the third, causing the train to tilt, and everyone falls onto the door of the train.)
Anti-SB: What fate drags is blind by your own perceptions. In a matter of time, your friend will be erased. But this will be your last act. (prepares to cut the last rope)
Everyone: No!
(Anti-SB cuts said rope, causing the train car to fall. Everyone is screaming as the train car falls, with Doofenshmirtz and the pets trying to hold on. Anti-SB, hovering with the use of his rocket boots, takes off his mask.)
Anti-SB: Good riddance. (reactivates his mask and flies to the helicopter) Alright, let's go. (the helicopter flies off)
Well, that chapter is complete! Once again, sorry for being late. I had writer's block, and I had other stuff to do. Hopefully, the wait for the next chapter will be shorter. I have introduced characters from Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana! Next chapter, I'll introduce my next show! Until then, stay fresh!
