Author's Note: I just want to take a moment to respond to a question asked in my comments. A guest reviewer asked why this fanfic has more chapters while the rest only get two. Well, I'd like to point out that it wasn't intentional. I'm merely trying to set up the premise for each fanfic. Most of the other Spider-Nick fanfics need two chapters while this one, we have to start with covering the original Jimmy Neutron movie which starts the series.
Anyway, here's the next chapter. After this, we've got two more to go before we wrap up the start of this SP/dr fanfic (three if we do a headcanon fancast chapter).
Enjoy the chapter. Any and all comments are welcome.
Peni woke up to the sound of a machine whirring and Sheen's screams of excitement. She quickly sat back up with SP/dr resting in her hair. Together, the two widened their eyes seeing the robot suit moving with Sheen inside of it.
"WAHOO! LOOK AT ME GO! I'M A REAL SUPERHERO NOW! ULTRA SHEEN TO THE RESCUE!"
Gritting her teeth and muttering curses she'd heard her father say in Japanese, Peni stood up and confronted Sheen while he was doing sloppy punches at the air. "Sheen, get out of there! It's not a toy!"
"Aw, just a bit longer, Peni! I've always wanted to do this!" Sheen called out before jumping in the air. While he was off the ground, he did various poses quickly before falling on the mechanical hindquarters.
"Sheen, I'm serious!" Peni scolded some more. "I need that suit in one piece if we're going to have any chance to save our parents! And need I remind you that the suit's user interface isn't compatible with a single mind alone?"
"Okay, okay. Sheesh." Sheen complained, opening the dome, but he stopped as he noticed something. "Hey, Peni, what's this black button here with the skull and crossbones? Does it turn the suit into a pirate? If so, I say 'Aargh'!"
"SHEEN, DON'T YOU DARE PUSH THAT!" Peni shouted. Quickly, she grabbed him by his Ultra-Lord T-shirt and pulled him out of the cockpit. "That's not a pirate button, Sheen. That's not even a thing. That button activates the suit's self-destruct, meaning whole thing blows up along with anything nearby. Not to mention, it's a real hassle to rebuild it."
"Oh. Uh… Got it. Sorry." Sheen said.
Peni sighed and let him go. "Sorry I snapped. It's just… been a long night for me." She thought back to her conversation with Nick and the argument they had had.
"Yeah, Nick was apparently the same way. He was a little grumpy coming back from his walk last night. And this morning, he was really snappy."
"Oh," Peni said softly, wondering if what she had said had had that much of an effect on him.
"All right, everybody!" Jimmy announced as everyone else woke up. "The meteor shower's passed, and now, there's nothing stopping us! From here, it's a quick trip straight to the alien home planet where our parents are! So let's get breakfast, do some last minute calibrations and head on out to kick alien buttocks!"
The kids rode on in their ships flying over planet to planet. After a long journey, Goddard took a sniff in the air and barked into the direction ahead of Jimmy.
"What is it, boy?" Jimmy asked.
Goddard jumped to the front of his rocket and pointed his metal snout straight head. That's when everyone saw it, the planet of their destination. From afar, it looked about half like a normal planet while the other half was black with orange glyphs like a circuit.
"Sensor sweeps reveal many advanced cities and ion energy signatures." Jimmy observed. "That's it! We found it! I repeat, we found it!" His announcement made all the kids cheer with him.
"We're nearly there." Peni said from the inside of her suit. SP/dr chittered in agreement.
"All right, Peni. I'll take Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby to find our parents." Jimmy said. "You lead the rest of the kids to create a distraction and give us an escape route."
"Well, nothing's more distracting than a giant spider robot leading an assault alongside a bunch of 11-year-olds." Peni said.
"Hang on." Quentin called out from his own ship, one of the eyes from the Eye in the Sky tram. "I'll help out by finding us a place to land."
The kids all broke into two different teams. Jimmy and his team went to one part of the planet while the rest followed Quentin to another.
Peni and her team landed just on the outskirts of an advanced alien city. They all looked on and observed how the vehicles all flew, the Yolkians floated around in their shell capsules, and even the buildings were shaped like eggs.
"So these are the aliens that took our parents? They must have evolved beyond the need for solid bodies." Peni said. SP/dr chittered with a laugh, which Peni laughed at afterward. "Hehe. 'Eggheads'. Good one."
"So, uh, where to?" Nick asked simply, making Peni secretly relieved. Despite last night and apparently this morning, he at least seemed willing to work under her leadership. Plus, he wasn't his usual flirty self.
"Let me think." Peni said looking at the city through her virtual scanning screen in her dome. "I have no idea how this city works, but I guess…"
"Hey, what about there?" Quentin asked, pointing at an egg-shaped warehouse below them. Just as he said that, two Yolkians with military-style shells and electric prods floated in. "Those two guys look like they're important. Maybe we can start with them."
"Hmm…" Peni said observing the outfits before they disappeared into the warehouse. "That style does indicate they're from some kind of military. At the very least, we can get some intel from those two."
Peni and SP/dr entered their suit and lead the kids into the warehouse. Once they were at the door's edge, they saw the Yolkian guards in the middle of an empty warehouse with their backs turned to the kids. They kept quiet when they stepped forward before, finally, Peni spoke up.
"All right, you bad eggs! We have questions and you're gonna give us answers!"
The Yolkians turned seemingly shaken with fright. The kids smirked knowing they had them surrounded, but their smiles faded when the Yolkians stopped shaking. They smiled at the kids and clapped their hands in the air twice.
Suddenly, the sound of chains clanging was heard from above. Peni looked up and gasped when a large slab of metal stopped its quick descent over her. Then, she felt her suit slowly starting to ascend. She tried to move the suit to escape, but the controls were stuck. The suit then flew up into the air and stuck itself on the metal.
"Peni, what's going on?!" Britney asked.
"I don't know!" Peni shouted struggling in vain to move her suit. "I'm stuck on a supermagnet! But how…"
Just then, the kids soon found themselves surrounded by more Yolkian guards. Instead of just the two, there were many more who had been hiding who now surrounded the kids, quickly closing in on them.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Nick shouted. He flew ahead and landed a dropkick on one of the Yolkians. Another tried to grab him from behind, but Nick grabbed his arm and tossed him over his shoulder. Peni had to admit, she was sort of impressed. Nick hadn't seemed to be totally exaggerating his fighting skills.
Nick's luck ran out, however, when he felt a strong surge of electricity press through his back. One of the guards prodded him with his electric prod. Nick tried to resist it for as long as he could and threw another punch at the offending guard, but then two more guards shocked him, bringing him down to his hands and knees. The rest of the kids gasped in shock and, upon seeing their toughest warrior down and their leader incapacitated, they surrendered almost immediately.
Peni kept fighting to break free of the magnet's grip, but she never got the chance to. One of the guards opened the dome on the robot and grabbed Peni by her shirt front, forcing her out along with SP/dr, who hid himself behind Peni's neck.
"What's going on?!" Peni asked loudly. "Were they prepared for us? How?"
"Quiet you!" the guard holding her shouted before ordering, "Take them to His Majesty!"
Jimmy's team didn't have much success in their mission either. They had managed to find their parents in the royal palace, but they were all strapped to mind-control helmets that kept them docile and subservient. Jimmy's dad managed to regain his consciousness and awareness somewhat, but when he tried to take his off, a tampering program occurred, immediately putting him back under Yolkian control again, and alerting the Yokians to the group with shouts and duck noises. They tried to run away, but they were captured too.
Once they were apprehended, Jimmy, Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby were brought to a large throne room. At the end of it and towering above them, King Goobot sat with Ooblar beside him.
"Well, well. If it isn't the littlest rescue party. How cute." Goobot mocked with a cute tone. "Hello, itty, bitty humans."
"You let us go, you big ball of phlegm!" Cindy demanded.
"That's no way to talk to the king!" Ooblar shot back. "He's the ROYAL phlegm!"
"Ooblar…" Goobot said annoyed.
"Sorry, sire."
"I think it's only fair to warn you," Jimmy said smugly, "That if you don't release us within 24 hours, an army of highly-trained combat specialists is poised to destroy your entire planet."
"Oh, really?" Goobot asked seemingly concerned.
"Really."
"Oh, my! Our entire planet? Whatever shall we do?" Goobot asked in a faux frightened tone before grinning evilly back at Jimmy. "Do you mean… this army of highly-trained combat specialists?"
With a wave of his hand, Goobot motioned for the door to open, revealing the rest of the kids captured and at the mercy of the guards. Peni was pushed forward to join Jimmy and the others while the rest of the kids were held back. Seeing Peni being dragged away, Nick tried to resist once more, only to be shocked again.
"This one was leading them, sire." the guard escorting her stated. "And she was piloting an advanced mecha suit." With a push of a button, the magnet carrying the SP/dr suit hovered in. The moment Goobot saw the suit his eyes grew wide and he all but salivated.
"Oh my! How incredible!" He turned to Peni. "Tell me, small female! How did you manage to acquire such an exquisite piece of machinery?"
"Like I would tell you, booger bot!" Peni sneered.
"Peni, what happened?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't know." Peni answered. "They knew what we were planning. I don't know how."
"Oh, it's actually quite simple, my dear," Goobot said with a chuckle. "We were tipped off. Speaking of, how's about a big hand for our surprise sponsor… MR. QUENTIN BECK!" He and other Yolkians began a smattering of applause with Ooblar being the most enthusiastic.
The kids all gasped as they turned to Quentin. The wannabe magician smiled smugly before walking away from the crowd of shocked kids. "Now, now. No need for applause. Well, actually, alright. Go ahead."
"Quentin?" Jimmy asked shocked. "You sold us out!"
"Pretty much." Quentin replied with a shrug. "I called His Highness here last night while you were all sleeping and warned him about your little 'rescue attempt.' He then instructed me to lead the assault team into the warehouse where the trap was set." He then turned to Goobot. "Now then, I believe we had a deal?"
"Of course, of course," Goobot replied snapping his fingers. Another door opened revealing several pallets with large crates stocked on top of another that were pushed in by other guards. "For your services to the Yolkian Empire, I, King Goobot V, bestow upon you the latest in state-of-the-art Yolkian technology, modified for your Mysterio act!"
"Oh ho yeah!" Quentin said, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
"Mysterio act?" Peni asked in complete disbelief. "Are you SERIOUS, QUENTIN?! You sabotaged our rescue just to tech-up your stupid magic act?!"
"You miserable piece of slime! You're roadkill when I get my hands on you, Beck!" Nick shouted in rage before being zapped once again to shut him up.
"I can't believe you! Has inhaling that putrid smoke you use in your act made you completely lose it?!" Cindy asked angrily. "These living snots kidnapped all of our parents, including yours!"
"Actually, no. Not mine." Quentin said, surprising them. "My parents actually are on an extended vacation. They've been in Barbados for about a week now"
"What?" Jimmy asked. "And they just left you alone?"
"Not really. Wouldn't put it past them though." Quentin grumbled. "They actually left me in the care of our next-door neighbor, Gladys, who—I won't lie—is a REAL pain to deal with. The Yolkians actually did me a favor by abducting her."
"Hold on a minute…" Peni said thinking for a second. "Then that would mean… Quentin, does that mean you always knew the notes were fake the whole time?! The ones that claimed they were from our parents?!"
"I'll admit, I did find it weird at first," Quentin admitted, "but then I figured 'who cares?' I was finally rid of Gladys and free to step up my magic act any way I wanted!" He glared at Peni. "Or at least, I would have if YOUR stupid robot hadn't crushed all those magic kits I found. So I had to… improvise a little."
"I can't believe you!" Jimmy shouted. "Our parents' lives are on the line, and all you could think of is yourself! Where's the logic in that?"
Quentin then turned his baleful glare on Jimmy. "I told you before, Neutron. Nobody cares about 'logic' anymore. Ambition is the way to go these days. Plus, you could say you all deserve it."
"I beg your pardon?!" Jimmy cried.
"'Oh, look at Quentin Beck. He's such a loser. His magic act is SO lame, just like him. His dreams of being big will never amount to anything. Ha ha ha!' Well, who's laughing now, CHUMPS?! With this stuff the Yolkians gave me, I'll be able to amp my act up to be the best in the business! I'll be in Vegas by the time I'm 13! Wealth and riches will be all mine! All while you lot are rotting away on another planet!" He then smirked. "Though you know, I kinda have to thank you, Neutron. After all, it's all thanks to you that this whole thing happened and I got this amazing chance."
"What are you talking about?" Jimmy asked.
Quentin turned to Goobot. "Do you wanna tell them or should I?"
"Well, it is pretty good." Goobot answered. "And I admit, it would make a good show before we ready the human adults for tonight."
"What do you want with our parents?" Libby asked.
"Yeah." Peni said. "You already have your own planet you rule… and apparently, a shell designer with a sense of humor."
Goobot looked down at his container before glaring back at the kids. "Oh, it's not what I want. It's what Poultra wants."
"Who's Poultra?" Cindy asked.
"Poultra is our god." Goobot proclaimed. "The mightiest, most ferocious creature in all… Oh, I get tired of answering this. Roll tape."
At the king's command, a large TV screen rolled up for everyone to see. The TV showed a newscast room with two Yolkian reporters hosting the show.
"Hello and welcome to our special edition of Poultra, God of Wrath. Brought to you by…"
The news was interrupted for a minute when Goobot pressed the fast-forward button on his remote. "Commercials. Hate them." He stopped when he reached the point of the video he was looking for.
"Welcome back. If you're watching this, chances are your friends and/or relatives are about to be sacrificed to the mighty Poultra, which is a great honor indeed."
"And very painful. Hahaha."
"And this year's human sacrifices feature something very special: actual humans."
"And it's all thanks to Jimmy Neutron."
At that moment, the TV screen changed to the recorded video from Jimmy's message. Jimmy was speechless as he realized that this was indeed his fault, and nearly all the kids directed their attention to him accusingly.
"You know," King Goobot said, floating from his throne and toward Jimmy, "Without the coordinates you gave us, we never would have found your puny little planet. For such a tiny Earthling, you've been a very big help, Jimmy Neutron." He pinched the boy's cheek condescendingly before an upset Jimmy angrily slapped it away. Goobot then turned to his subjects. "Guards, throw these minuscule vermin into the dungeon until they're of worthier size! Oh, and give Mr. Neutron the presidential suite."
Jimmy was about to confront Goobot, but he was stunned by an electric prodding stick. Quickly though, he was defended by Goddard who barked the guard away. He growled at him, but he was picked up by Goobot.
"Ooh. Isn't this a funny-wunny little toy." Goobot said cutely before Goddard bit his arm harshly. "AAAAAHHH! GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF!" He grabbed Goddard's neck with his other hand and pulled him off. "Take this infernal thing to the lab and have it torn apart!"
"Oh, yes, great saliva-armed one." Ooblar said taking Goddard. "Um, what about the robot suit the guards took from the girl?"
"Take that to the lab too," Goobot ordered before a wicked gleam shone in his eyes. "In fact, once you're finished with that mechanical mutt, find a way to reverse engineer it!"
"What?" Peni asked with a gasp.
Goobot flew over to the SP/dr suit and stroked it admiringly. "If we can make our own version of this suit, and even mass-produce it, we'll be able to advance our army and rise even higher in the galaxy!" he proclaimed. "No longer will we be pushed around by the Chitauri, the Badoon, the Kree, and especially that disgusting pickle-skinned, pointy-eared Queen Veranke and her Skrulls! This time, WE will be the ones to push THEM over!"
"And no one's a bigger pushover than you, sire!" Ooblar praised before his brother looked at him dryly. "Right. Shutting up."
"Just take them away!" Goobot ordered as the guards forced the kids out of the throne room.
"No! GODDARD!" Jimmy yelled as he was forced away while watching his dog get taken away.
Quentin stared as the kids were removed from the throne room as he let out a deep breath. "Well… that was heavy." He then turned to Goobot, who was wiping the saliva from his arm. "So… when can you arrange for my return to Earth? I'd love to put this new equipment to use ASAP."
"Hmm? Oh. Well, the ships are all grounded for the sacrifice tonight, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait until after Poultra feeds," Goobot answered. He then tapped his chin. "You know what, my boy? Why don't you join me in my royal seats as a bonus? You'd certainly make better company than my idiot brother, that's for certain. Then after, we can send you back to your backwater world, hm?"
"Um, there won't be blood, will here?" Quentin asked. "'Cause I can't handle the sight of blood."
"Oh, don't worry about it," Goobot said with sadistic glee. "Given how small you humans are, Poultra should be able to swallow them whole! Hehehe."
Once the kids were all taken to the dark, damp dungeon beneath the palace, Jimmy was then taken to his own cell which was adjacent to theirs. Only a single barred opening connected the two. In his cell, Jimmy sulked and cried while the rest of the kids talked about him, not really caring if he heard the mean things they said.
"So it was Neutron all along. I mean, he got us into this."
"Hey, Jimmy, didn't your parents ever tell you not to talk to strangers?"
"That's rule number one."
"Come on, you guys. Give him a break." Libby said. "Jimmy didn't mean to ruin our lives and get our parents eaten by a GIANT SPACE MONSTER!"
"Smooth." Peni thought to herself before deciding to speak up. "Okay, that's enough! This isn't Jimmy's fault! He had absolutely no idea that his message would be found by a maniacal race of egg aliens! He probably hoped that they were friendly or peaceful or something like that, being so advanced! And besides… if anything, it could've easily have become my fault."
"What do you mean by that, Pen, er, Peni?" Nick asked.
"Jimmy… wasn't the only one who prepared a message for the aliens to find." Peni admitted with a sigh to the other's surprise. "I also discovered an alien signal and made a video message for them. I was going to send them to where the signal was coming from, but Jimmy beat me to it. If he hadn't, then it would've been my video these aliens would have found and followed to Earth, not his."
Libby groaned. "What's with geniuses like you? You claim to be smart, but then, you all do dumb stuff like this!"
"I know! I know!" Peni shouted with a frown. "I admit, none of this would have happened if it hadn't been for Jimmy or even me. It's just… When you're as smart as I am, you tend to push yourself when it comes to the mysteries of the universe and bettering it. So when the idea of communicating with a more advanced alien species enters your mind, it can get pretty hard to let go. And that can make us very irresponsible with what we do." SP/dr crawled over to her on her shoulder and comforted her with one of his legs.
Libby looked at her a bit before sighing. "Look, we can deal with this later. We need a way out."
"She's right!" Sheen said, pulling down his Ultra Lord. "We need to ask ourselves, 'What would Ultra Lord do?'"
"Well, let's think about it, Sheen." Nick said sarcastically. "Maybe sit on a shelf, because HE'S A DOLL!"
"He's not a doll! He's an action figure! There's a difference!" Sheen argued.
"Hold on, Nick. Let's at least hear Sheen out. I mean, Ultra Lord IS a science-fiction show set in space. In this case, there could be something we could use." Peni said. Nick looked like he wanted to argue, but stopped and simply folded his arms, pouting. Peni turned to Sheen. "Has Ultra Lord been in an alien dungeon before, Sheen?"
"Uh-huh. In episode 224." Sheen nodded.
"So how did he break out?"
"Well, he fried the Zeebot's brain with his heat-seeking infra-thought. It was cool."
All the other kids stared without a reaction. A moment of silence passed before Nick spoke up. "Well, uh, I'm convinced, folks. That's pretty much the STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!"
"No! THIS is the stupidest thing you've ever heard!" Sheen said before making random babbling sounds.
"Oh, you are such a baby!" Nick argued.
"Why don't you leave me alone?! You're just picking on me because you're insecure!"
That statement only seemed to make Nick madder as he tried to attack Sheen before Butch and Wendel held him back, and Libby and Carl did the same for Sheen.
Peni sighed, stepping away from the argument. The whole group seemed to be falling apart as quickly as their plan had. She then turned and saw Cindy standing beside her. The blonde girl was looking over at the hole leading to Jimmy's cell with a sad look on her face.
"What are you thinking?" Peni asked.
Cindy fell silent for a moment before letting out a deep breath. "I mean, as much of an idiotic show-off as he is, I seriously don't think even Neutron meant for THIS to happen, you know? His parents were captured too, and now his dog may be getting dismantled. I guess, as weird as it seems, I feel… sorry for him." Cindy looked back at Jimmy's cell and frowned sympathetically as they heard some sniffles coming from it. She then dropped the sympathetic look and got a hardened one. "And anyway, Neutron still got us into this mess unintentionally, so he should be the one to get us out. But he can't do anything if he's just crying and feeling sorry for himself!"
"Then maybe you should tell him that." Peni said.
Cindy looked at her surprised. "Why me?"
"Because out of everyone else, you're the most likely to get through to him." Peni said with a small smile. "And that is a scientific fact."
Cindy looked unsure, but paused upon hearing more sobs from Jimmy's cell and then sighed. "All right. Just do me a favor: don't tell anyone I'm being nice to him, alright?"
"My lips are sealed." Peni said making a zipping motion with her mouth. SP/dr did the same before Cindy headed over to talk to Jimmy.
By that time, the argument had died back down to silence with many of the kids sulking and looking sad. After about a minute, Peni looked across the cell upon hearing sniffles closer to them. She then saw Carl sobbing to himself as he looked at the skeleton of an old prisoner who unfortunately hadn't managed to get out. No doubt he was fearing that was to be their fate.
"I am never complaining about my parents again." he sobbed.
"We didn't even get our one phone call." Nick said.
"That's it!" Everyone heard Jimmy's exclamation. They turned as he approached the bars reaching his hand out. "Libby, let me see your cell phone."
"Okay, but I don't think my service plan covers anything outside our solar system." Libby said passing her phone to Jimmy.
"Who are you calling, Jimmy?" Peni asked.
"A friend of mine." Jimmy said dialing a set of numbers on the phone. "I'm calling the cellular communication function within Goddard."
"What's that gonna do?" Nick asked.
At that moment, Jimmy's phone call was answered and he heard Goddard's barking. "Goddard, you're okay." A few more barks. "I miss you too, boy. Listen, what's your situation?" He listened to Goddard's barking and whimpering. "Evil scientist, huh?"
"Did he really just understand his robot dog?" Peni asked.
"This coming from the girl who understands her psychic spider?" Cindy responded.
"Touche."
"Okay, I've got an idea. Put me on speaker, Goddard." Jimmy instructed. He took a minute to clear his throat before sounding like an automated voice recording. "Danger! Danger! You have initiated self-destruct sequence alpha!"
"Ooh. That's my bad. Back in you go." Ooblar's voice was heard through the phone's speaker.
"Self-destruct sequence is now engaged." Jimmy continued while some of the other kids snickered quietly.
"No, no, no, no, no! I put it back in! You understand me?"
"This unit will yield a 50 megaton nuclear blast in exactly ten seconds."
"THAT'S NOT GOOD!"
"Please clear a 30-square mile area. Thank you and have a nice day. Ten… nine…
"NO! BAD DOG! MOTHER! AAAAAHHHH!" Ooblar's screams went feint indicating he already left.
"Is he gone, boy?" Jimmy asked followed by the sound of Goddard's barking. "Great. Nice work. Did the smiley face countdown timer pop out?" Goddard barked once more as Jimmy laughed. "Nice! Please tell me you got a recording!"
"Good work, Jimmy!" Peni praised.
"Yeah, priceless!" Nick laughed.
"Thanks. I've been wanting to do that mock self-destruct sequence prank for a while. Never thought I would use it to save our lives." Jimmy said proudly before speaking into the phone again. "Alright, Goddard. Lock onto the signal and get here as fast as you can."
"Jimmy, wait!" Peni called out. "What about my suit? Is it in the lab with Goddard?"
"You heard her, boy." Jimmy said. "Do you have the SP/dr suit?" Goddard barked in agreement. "He said he has it."
"Good." Peni said in relief. "One more question: can Goddard pilot the suit to get down here and help us out?"
"Goddard's programming is pretty advanced," Jimmy said, "But I don't think his processor is compatible enough to run the suit. Hear that, Goddard? You're gonna have to carry it."
Goddard whined, obviously not pleased at the idea.
"There'll be a whole six pack of aluminum soda cans for you when we get home." Jimmy said before Goddard barked happily and seemed ready to go to work.
A minute later, Goddard pushed with all his might against the SP/dr suit sending it falling down to the dungeon level. Everyone peeked through Jimmy's cell door seeing Goddard arriving with the suit.
"Wow. That's one strong dog." Carl commented.
Goddard was about to go further, but he was stopped by a Yolkian guard.
"Halt! Who goes there? By order of the most esteemed King Goobot, it is my great privilege and honor to mercilessly exterminate you."
"Oh, no, you don't!" Peni called out. "SP/dr, go give Goddard a hand… or eight."
SP/dr saluted to his friend before shooting a web into Jimmy's cell. He then swung across and flew himself over to the cell door. He jumped again from the door window and landed on the guard's glass. He smiled and waved at him causing him to scream.
"AAAAAAHHH! GET IT OFF! GET THIS LITTLE MONSTER OFF OF ME!"
Peni laughed from afar. "You know, Jimmy, I'm starting to think we've been overestimating the intelligence of these 'advanced' aliens."
"You know, I think I am inclined to agree," Jimmy said with a chuckle of his own. "Okay, SP/dr, you may want to steer clear of this! Goddard, play dead!"
Immediately, SP/dr jumped off of the guard just as he was in front of Goddard. He and Jimmy moved back as Goddard blew himself up in a large explosion catching the guard in the explosion. The explosion also knocked Jimmy's cell door open. Goddard then quickly reassembled himself just as SP/dr approached him. The two animals looked at each other and touched each other's appendages like they were doing a fist bump.
"Oh, good boy, Goddard! Good boy!" Jimmy cheered hugging his robot dog. "Guess I'll make that bug a feature, huh?" SP/dr chittered loudly to get Jimmy's attention. "Okay, sure. You did good too, you intelligent arthropod. Now, come on. Let's get the others."
Jimmy headed to the next cell door and pulled a switch to let everybody out. While everyone else ran to freedom, Peni picked SP/dr up and approached the suit to inspect it.
"A little dented, but still enough to perform a real rescue." Peni said. "You ready for one last ride?"
SP/dr chittered in excitement.
"Good." Peni said triumphantly getting into the suit. "Let's show these eggheads what a bunch of 'itty-bitty humans' can really do!"
The screen lit up with a determined look and slammed a robotic fist into its palm, more than ready to scramble some eggs.
