Author's Note: Hey, everyone. So we've finally made it to the final battle of the events of the Jimmy Neutron movie. After this, we only have one last chapter to go to wrap this up. Not only will this chapter be the last we'll have before we step away from the fanfic for a while, but this chapter will also come with a list of fancasting for all the Marvel characters MajorBrony95 and I included here. I'm talking Peni, SP/dr, Quentin Beck, Renji Parker, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May. And after that, we'll even throw in a post-credits scene.
Remember that even though we're nearly done with the movie, we are not done with the fanfic itself as we will be covering the Jimmy Neutron TV series.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter. Any and all comments are welcome.
Quentin looked around in awe as he found himself sitting in a royal box seat in an arena nearly packed to the brim with Yolkians that were cheering for the gigantic egg at the center. He then turned to King Goobot who was keeping his brother, Ooblar, at arm's length.
"So… That egg…" Quentin said a little uneasy, "Is that…"
"Yes, that is the great Poultra!" Goobot said with malevolent reverence. "She is resting at the moment, as she does every year after the celebration, but she's bound to awaken once we perform the ritual! Speaking of which…" Goobot turned to his microphone to address the crowd. "Bring out the humans!"
The trumpets blared, drums were beaten and a spaceship flew into the arena before landing on the ground. Its hanger door opened, after which another Yolkian across from the King's box picked up a crown-shaped joystick and used it to guide all the human adults out of the ship. This excited crowd as some called for the violence to start soon. As the sacrifices marched robotically, the controller made them all circle the giant egg and face the crowd.
"Kick it!" Goobot ordered.
Once the lights dimmed, the crowd cheered louder before a Yolkian DJ inserted a disk into his shell. Suddenly, the music for the Chicken Dance blared throughout the area. The humans all mindlessly danced the moves accordingly: beak hands, wing flap, shake the toosh, clap, clap, clap, repeat. Quentin stared at the ecstatic Yolkians in the crowd who were copying the dancing before looking at Goobot in disbelief.
"Really?" he asked.
"What? It's part of the ritual." Goobot stated as he watched Ooblar shake his shell and clap with the rest. "Don't you have dancing rituals on your planet?"
"Not any this stupid!" Quentin said before thinking for a second. "Well… maybe the Floss."
The Chicken Dance music was heard all the way outside of the arena, right where the kids are when they ran out of the palace. They followed the music to the arena.
"Oh, look, you guys! A football game!" Carl said in excitement.
"I don't think so, Carl." Jimmy said.
"Is that the Chicken Dance?" Peni asked. SP/dr chittered to her. "Yeah, right. There's no way their culture is that stupid."
"Goddard, bionscope mode!" Jimmy ordered his dog.
At Jimmy's command, Goddard stretched his eyes forward toward the arena and popped out a screen from his back. The screen then showed the parents doing the Chicken Dance around the giant egg.
"Wow. What a lame halftime show." Sheen commented.
"Oooookay. I stand corrected." Peni deadpanned.
"They're making our parents dance so lame." Nick said.
"No, my dad really dances like that." Carl said in embarrassment as the screen showed his father doing strange disco moves rather than the usual ones.
"The festival is starting." Jimmy said.
"Our parents! They'll be eaten!" Cindy panicked.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Peni said, readying the SP/dr suit. "Come on, guys!" They all turned and hurried to find an exit.
Though it took a bit to escape the palace, the kids finally made it to the arena, just as the song ended and armored cackling Yolkians started blasting fire at the giant egg to incubate it. Somehow, Nick managed to get ahead of everyone, including Peni in her suit. He paused at the arena entrance when he was stopped by two Yolkian guards.
"Halt!" both ordered.
"Hey, cool spear." Nick said nonchalantly.
"You really think so?" one of the guards asked. "Well, yeah, I guess so, because I saw this one…"
"Mind if I TRY?!" Nick shouted jumping and snatching the spear out of the distracted guard's hands. He first used it to disarm the other guard. Then, he swung it at both of the guards knocking them out.
SP/dr chittered to a surprised Peni.
"Uh… Yeah. I guess that was pretty cool… Don't tell him I said that though."
Nick preened a little under the kids' cheers before continuing to rush into the arena with his newly acquired weapon. He had just approached the pedestal where the adults were when the fires stopped blasting the egg. That's when the top of it shattered apart and three green stalks with gold and red eyeballs at the tips peeked out. They glared down at Nick, who was petrified upon seeing the inhuman eyes. A moment of silence passed until…
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Screaming like a little girl, Nick dropped his spear, turned right around and ran back in terror to where the shocked and disbelieving kids were. He then dropped into a beetle position, shaking in the back of the crowd.
"Well, that was a thing." Peni said awkwardly.
"Okay, we need another plan." Sheen piped up. "Probably a Nick-less one."
"Well, we got me, SP/dr, and the suit." Peni said. Just as she said that though, Poultra continued to break from her shell. She shot out two reptilian chicken feet and planted them on the ground to pick herself up.
"Citizens of Yolkus!" Goobot announced as Quentin gaped next to him with wide eyes and Ooblar gazed at the sight in rapture. "I, King Goobot V, give you… SACRIFICE!"
The rest of the egg then exploded. As the dust cleared, Poultra revealed herself in her true form- a skyscraper-sized, monstrous looking chicken with yellow and green-spotted feathers, a green waddle connected to a long purple neck, tiny wings with small claws, and a huge fanged beak with the three eyes attached at the top.
Peni stared at Poultra with a dropped face. "...Although, I admit, I did not expect the bad guys to have anything that big," she murmured softly, SP/dr nodding silently in agreement.
"Th-th-th-that's a… big chicken." Sheen stammered as the other kids looked on in horror.
Poultra then let out a decibel shattering "BWKAW!" forcing the kids and even the tiny arachnid to cover their ears. The crowd echoed back with a cry of their own before the chicken monster gave another "BWAK BAWK BAKAW!"
"What do we do now?" Carl asked.
Jimmy looked out into the arena looking at various things. He first saw the spaceship the parents came into the arena on as it rocketed out. He then turned his attention to the mind-control devices on the parents' heads. Lastly, he saw the joystick that was used to control them.
"Think! Think!" With everything he saw flashing in his mind, he quickly put together a plan. "Brain blast!"
"Okay, everybody, listen up! We don't have much time!" Jimmy said, hooping onto Goddard, who extended his legs for Jimmy to address the kids. "I've got to make it to that control tower! Cindy, Libby, you and the others keep the guards busy. Peni, you and SP/dr keep that monster distracted. You guys have to do this until Sheen arrives with the ship."
"Okay, I heard the ship part," Sheen said, "But was that 'Sheen, get the ship'?"
"Yeah." Jimmy said pointing at a tower nearby. "Listen, there's a transport ship in that airfield big enough to carry all of us out of here. I need you to get it here as fast as you can."
"But I… I… I don't have a driver's license." Sheen frantically excused. "I have no hand-eye coordination."
"Sheen," Jimmy interrupted, "Ask yourself, what would Ultra-Lord do?"
Sheen stood astonished at that question before getting a serious look, pulling his Ultra-Lord mask over his face and saluting. "I accept this responsibility, understanding the consequences you've bestowed against me."
Back in the arena, Goobot rang a bell to get Poultra's attention. "Poultra, din-dins!" he sang as if speaking to a pet. "Yummy, yummy! Foody, foody!"
Poultra looked down expectantly at the adults, all prepped up to be eaten, before letting out another loud squawk.
"I sort of wanna look away… and yet, I oddly wanna see how this turns out." Quentin said, eyeing the monster chicken as she hungrily peered down at her sacrifice.
Peni took a deep breath as she watched this while SP/dr chittered at her. "Well, of course, I'm nervous!" she answered. "We're about to battle a kaiju-sized chicken!" She sighed before steeling her nerves and glaring. "But we're the only ones strong enough to do it while Jimmy takes that controller. This thing is considered a god to these people? Well, let's see what happens when their 'god' gets beaten by a child!"
"That's the spirit, Penny!" Jimmy cheered as he turned to the rest of the group while Goddard shined a light on him. "This is it, people!" Jimmy announced. "These crummy aliens stole our parents! It's time to show them what we're made of! We're tough! We're mean! Darn it, we're carbon-based life-forms! Now, who's gonna kick buttocks?"
"THE CARBONATED LIFE-FORMS!" everyone answered at once.
The kids all ran out into the arena. The first to notice them was Quentin, who tapped on King Goobot's shoulder to make sure he sees them too.
"What? What is this?" he asked before turning to his guards "Stop those kids!"
While the kids began their fight against the Yolkians, Peni stopped her suit to turn around. She glanced back at Nick, who was still in beetle position. She then sighed and ran back to him. She got out of her suit and stood Nick back up to his feet, but he still looked frightened.
"Pull yourself together, Nick." Peni said shaking him slightly. "Everyone else is going to make those aliens into omelets. It's about time you do too."
"I can't!" Nick said, sounding short of breath. "I can't go out there! That thing… It was so… OH, YOU WERE RIGHT, PENI! I DID find myself in over my head! I thought I could just power my way through everything, but this is too much! You and that Ultra Nutso were right too! I'm insecure, okay?! My whole 'cool' thing is a fake to keep me from thinking of how lame I really am! I just can't do this! I can't…"
SMACK!
Nick felt the stinging strike across his cheek from Peni's hand. He then stopped talking and stared at her as she narrowed her black eyes at him.
"I said pull yourself together!" Peni shouted. "You're the best fighter out of everyone here! We're going to need you to lend a hand in the fight!"
"But I…"
SMACK!
"Shikkari shiro tte itta nda! Stop making this about you! Our parents need our help, NOT for you to feel sorry for yourself!" Peni yelled before taking a breath. "Listen. We're a bunch of kids who had to rig a bunch of amusement park rides to travel lightyears to an alien planet to save our town's adults. We already knew nothing about this was going to be simple. All those kids out there aren't as tough as you are. Heck, I'm about to go up against a giant chicken that could make Gojira look like a parakeet! If we can do that, then surely you can muster up the courage you need. Now, I can't make you go out there, but if you do… Well, I guess you can be cool enough."
The two stared into each other's eyes for a bit, the world seemingly fading away, leaving only themselves around. Neither said a word before…
SMACK!
"OW!" Nick shouted holding his cheek. "What was that for?! I didn't even say anything!"
"Oh. Uh, sorry." Peni said with an embarrassed chuckle. "G-guess I kinda got carried away. I've always wanted to do the whole 'get a hold of yourself, man' thing." She chuckled nervously again, then cleared her throat, quickly turned around and hopped into the mech again before grinning widely. "Now, if you'll excuse me, 'cool guy', I'm in the mood for a chicken dinner! Banzai!"
Peni then flew away, leaving Nick staring for a second before a huge goofy grin appeared on his face. "What a woman!"
While she rocketed back in, SP/dr squeaked at Peni, a sly look in his eight eyes. Her face then turned bright red.
"What? No, of course not! I just… figured he needed a confidence boost is all! I don't know what you're talking about!" SP/dr squeaked in a "Yeah, sure" tone. "Ā, shizukani shite kudasai," she muttered. She then landed in the middle of the battlefield, looking at her fellow kids battling their alien foes. She looked at SP/dr. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" The arachnid nodded before jumping into the CD player and selecting a song from "Peni's Poppin' Tunes" to project and inspire all the other kids.
"See the people walking down the street
Fall in line just watching all their feet
They don't know where they want to go
But they're walking in time
They got the beat
They got the beat
They got the beat
Yeah, they got the beat"
On the way to Poultra, Peni saw Cindy surrounded and opened the dome for a second. "Cindy, Purple Flurp!" She tossed a can of soda to her friend, who then drank it and posed in a martial arts stance.
"Dragon whips her tail!" Cindy yelled as she spun around and kicked one of the guards. As for the other, Libby threw her headset onto his head and raised the sound of the music on her CD player, making it so loud, his suit fell apart. Jimmy used what was left to fly up to the control tower.
"Jimmy!" Carl screamed as three guards floated toward his direction.
"Carl, show-and-tell!" Jimmy advised.
Confused, but deciding to take his word for it, Carl pulled out his inhaler and pointed it at one of the Yolkians. With one press, Carl sprayed the inhaler mist at the middlemost Yolkian completely blinding his view. He panicked and flew around until he hit a wall and fell apart.
Now gaining more confidence, Carl aimed his inhaler at the others, daring them to make a move. "You want some? You want some? YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!" The guards screamed and ran away. "I didn't think so," he stated proudly, using the inhaler, twirling it and sticking it in his pocket before sauntering away.
At last, Peni made it to Poultra. She piloted the suit to jump upwards and land an uppercut to the underside of her beak, causing her to stagger backwards, thankfully missing stepping on the parents.
"Poultra, don't let that brat get the best of you!" Goobot shouted. "Tear her to pieces!"
"Sire, what about the suit?" Ooblar asked.
"Oh, good point." Goobot said. "Tear her to pieces, but don't do any permanent damage to the suit! We still need it!"
Poultra recovered and glared angrily at Peni, who positioned her suit in a martial arts stance similar to Cindy's.
"Bring it, Toki Tori."
Poultra squawked loudly as she ran after Peni, who then shot a webline and swung toward her. She managed to get around Poultra's neck and land on the back of her head, which made Poultra let out another squak She then fired another string of web which she used to wrap around Poultra's beak like the reins of a horse. Poultra shook her head back and forth, but Peni held on.
"YEE-HAW!" she cheered! "Ride 'em, Peni!"
Unfortunately, this didn't last long as Poultra managed to throw her head down and send Peni crashing to the ground. She tried to get back up but before she could, Poultra launched a kick at her, sending her flying until she hit the wall.
"Okay. This thing's tough." Peni admitted with heavy breath. "Let's see what it does against this!"
With another webline, Peni flung herself over Poultra and landed on her beak. She then grabbed all three of her eye stalks and tugged at them hard making Poultra squawk in pain. She then released Poultra's eyes and jumped again to go over her.
Once she was behind the recovering Poultra, Peni fired more webs from both of her suit's wrists at the same time. They wrapped themselves around Poultra's legs, effectively holding her in place. Peni then rocketed around the chicken monster as fast as she was able, going circles around her and keeping her guessing. Once she stopped, she yanked her web ropes with all her might and made Poultra's ankles close in too much toward each other. Poultra squawked and feebly waved her feeble wings as she lost her balance and collapsed to the arena floor, making all the Yolkians gasp and the kids cheer.
Proud of herself, Peni turned around to face the crowd confidently. "Wow! I've heard of the chicken saying the sky was falling, but I've never seen a chicken fall out of the sky!"
She was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Poultra squawking again. She turned around just in time to see Poultra pry her legs apart and break the webs that bound her. She then clucked furiously before quickly standing back up and going after Peni. Frantically, Peni attempted to swing away, but Poutra caught the web with her beak and shifted it around, swinging Peni with it. Peni yelled from all the swings, SP/dr clinging to her shoulder and squealing in fear as well, until finally Poultra thrust downwards with all her might, smashing Peni into the ground harder than before.
Peni panicked as alarms flashed on her dome screen. She and SP/dr looked around for a solution, but they were too slow. Poultra thrust her head down and struck the suit with her beak, earning a cheer from the crowd of blood-starved Yolkians in the stands. She struck down again, getting another cheer. At that moment, the entire suit began to power down with very little energy left. Peni stared at the giant chicken beast with horrified eyes.
Somehow, Poultra knew Peni's problem and seemed to smirk evilly before she bellowed one more time and raised her head up high for a finishing blow. But before she could do that…
BONK!
A spaceship flew in from out of nowhere and hit Poultra in the back of her head. Her eyes swirled around dazedly, and she stumbled while the ship barely landed on the ground in one piece. The ship's hangers opened revealing Sheen, who tumbled down looking dizzy.
"Your ship awaits, Captain Jimmy!" Sheen said with a salute.
Poultra stumbled around scaring the nearby Yolkians. She almost sat on them, but she continued moving until she started falling toward the royal seats where Goobot, Ooblar, and Quentin were.
"Oh, no! This is NOT how this ends!" Quentin cried out in panic.
"Ooblar, protect!" Goobot yelled holding his brother out in front of him. Quentin then ducked and hid himself behind the king.
Poultra's head hit the stands sending Goobot, Ooblar, and Quentin to the ground. Goobot and Quentin made it out fine, but Ooblar spilled out of his shell.
Seeing Poultra was down, Peni tried to move her SP/dr suit, but there was too little power to move. She and SP/dr were still able to climb out of the broken dome of the suit, but as soon as they did, they found themselves surrounded by two guards who pointed their spears at her.
"You assaulted the mighty Poultra!" one of them yelled. "That is grounds for execu…"
"HIYA!" All of a sudden, Nick kicked the guard away making him drop his spear. Nick caught it and used it to strike the other guard so hard, his body spilled out.
"Nick?" Peni asked with a slight smile. "You… You saved me?"
"Well, I wasn't going to let Sheen take the credit for saving you." Nick said helping her up. "Come on. Neutron's got the controller and leading everyone to the ship. We gotta go too."
Peni took a step, but stopped to look back at Poultra, who was slowly starting to get back up. She narrowed her eyes and looked back at her broken SP/dr suit. She then exchanged a nod with SP/dr showing he was thinking what she was thinking.
"Not yet." Peni said to Nick. "There's still something I have to do."
"What?" Nick asked.
"I'm making sure they don't sacrifice anyone else to this monster ever again!" Peni jumped back to her suit and reached for the controls. "I just hope there's still enough power too… Yes!"
As Peni surmised, the SP/dr suit's arm was raised slightly until it was aimed at Poultra's head. With a flip of a switch, she shot a webline toward it until it reached into Poultra's mouth as she squawked catching her by surprise.
"Now, I just gotta… There we go!"
With one more push of a certain skull and crossbones button, the suit flashed bright-red. Peni jumped off the suit and watched as it was pulled in the direction of the web. It then headed straight towards Poultra's open beak until it disappeared into her throat.
"Now, we can go!" Peni said running to the ship with Nick.
"What did you do exactly?" Nick asked.
"I activated the suit's self-destruct sequence." Peni answered.
"Wait, what did she say?" Goobot asked hearing Peni from afar.
He then looked up at the monster in worry as he heard a loud beeping sound coming from Poultra's stomach and a red light showing through. Poultra looked down at it before realizing what was about to happen. It then looked up and gave one last pitiful cluck before…
BOOM!
A fiery cloud burst engulfing Poultra into flames. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of Poultra but a rain of falling feathers and a single toenail.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Goobot screamed In horror.
"Whoa! That was hardcore!" Nick cheered. "But, like, isn't that you and your dad's work?"
Peni frowned a bit before smiling and shrugging. "Well, we can always repair it once we get back!" she said as SP/dr squeaked in agreement. She and Nick then joined the others on the ship.
Once the adults were stored away below, the kids all ran into the command bridge. They all took their designated spots in making the ship fly.
"We gotta do this quick! Launch positions!" Jimmy instructed as he looked at the screen. "Core temperature optimal. Engaging primary plasma coils. Beginning countdown in ten, nine, eight…"
"ONE!" Cindy interrupted impatiently smashing the button that activated the engines. The spaceship flew right out of the ground. They rose out of the arena and toward the sky.
"Well, that was wild." Quentin said seeing the ship fly away. He then turned and saw Goobot looking up at the ship with angry eyes and fists clutching. "Uh, your highness, are you okay?"
"Jimmy Neutron stole my humans, and Peni Parker destroyed the great Poultra and cost us a potentially valuable tool!" Goobot growled at him. "NO, I AM NOT OKAY! THEY WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS! ALL FORCES TO THE SHIPS!"
"And could someone bring me a bucket?" Ooblar asked.
The kids all cheered once they left Yolkus' orbit, but their celebration was cut short when Carl gave them the bad news.
"Jimmy, here they come!"
Everyone looked behind their ship and saw virtually the entire Yolkian fleet chasing after them. King Goobot was at the front of the ship in his throne, Quentin on one side of him while Ooblar in a fancy vase bucket was on his other. "Time to discipline the naughty children," Goobot said sadistically. "Open fire!" By his command, the other Yolkian ships opened up laser blasters and fired on the kids' ship. The ship dodged as much as it could, but it was still taking a bit of damage at a time.
"We gotta fight back!" Peni shouted. "Do we have any weapons on board?"
"No good ones, it looks like!" Cindy said examining her screen. "It looks like this ship was mainly used for transport! None of the weapons here are powerful enough to fight all those aliens!"
Jimmy looked and saw a sun nearby smiling at it. "I got it. Who wants fried chicken?"
With Jimmy at the helm, the ship flew over the surface of the sun just over the burning energy coming from it. The Yolkian ships followed, but soon fell victims to solar flares destroying them one by one. Once most of the ships were gone, Jimmy flew the transport away from the sun, but there was still one last aircraft after them, King Goobot's.
"Well, Neutron, Parker! It seems it is just the two of you and I now! All weapons fire!" Goobot ordered.
"Ultra-Lord is not afraid of chickens! He is not afraid!" Sheen sang before Goobot's ship fired advanced weapons making theirs shake violently. "Okay, he may be a little bit afraid of chickens!"
"This thing's too slow." Jimmy said. "I can't outrun them."
SP/dr chittered from the communication chair.
"SP/dr said Goobot's sending us a message." Peni translated.
Jimmy picked up the message on the screen showing Goobot examining his fingers without any worry. Quentin still stood beside him, grinning nastily as Ooblar in the bucket narrowed his eyes at the group. "You see, Jimmy, you can't win." He then danced mockingly around his throne. "All your friends and family would be safe at home if it wasn't for one little problem: you."
"Little?" Jimmy asked offended.
"And you know, I WAS going to let you live as comfortably as possible for a bunch of annoying prisoners," Goobot continued, "But your miserable female friend had to go and blow up our dear Poultra. So… ALL BETS ARE OFF! NOW, YOU ALL MUST DIE!" He cackled evilly as Quentin and Ooblar joined in.
Jimmy ended the message. "Little, huh? I'll show you little. Peni, take over! Come on, boy!" He and Goddard headed to the door.
"What are you doing, Jimmy?" Peni asked.
"I swear, if this is some kind of macho thing…" Cindy groaned.
Jimmy didn't give anyone a chance to finish. He just got into the elevator with Goddard and flew out of the ship after in flycycle mode heading straight for Goobot's ship.
"Would you look at this?" Goobot asked in a mocking tone, seeing Jimmy fly towards them. "Ooblar, Quentin, I do believe he's going to ram us. Remind me to clean the windshield later."
He and Ooblar laughed, but Quentin's smile faded as he narrowed his eyes. "Wait a minute. Something's not right. Neutron may be thickheaded, but he's not that much of an idiot. He's up to something."
"Oh, please. What can he possibly do?" Goobot asked. "I mean, just look how teensy-weensy he is."
Unsure of what was about to happen, Quentin positioned his feet to the nearest exit. He had to be ready for anything.
Outside the ship, Jimmy continued his course toward the Yolkian ship.
"You steal my parents. You threaten my dog."
Inside the ship, Goobot continued to mock Jimmy. "Itsy-bitsy Jimmy Neutron!"
"He does look a bit small and silly, doesn't he, sire?" Ooblar asked.
"Seriously, something's up," Quentin said nervously, only to be ignored again.
"You attack my friends. And you make fun of my size!"
"Tiny, tiny!" Goobot mocked louder.
"So, so tiny!" Ooblar mocked with him.
"Guys!" Quentin shouted, realizing something was very wrong.
"Well, I may be small, but I got a big brain!" Jimmy cried pulling out his shrink ray.
He changed the settings on his shrink ray to read "PLANET SIZE" and blasted it on himself and Goddard. In a quick flash, they both grew so big, Goobot's ship was just about the same size as his nose.
"AAGH!" Goobot gasped in terror.
"NOT TINY!" Ooblar screamed as the ship stopped.
"Yeah, no, this is too much for me! Quentin out!" Quentin yelled as he ran out of the command bridge as fast as he could.
Goobot chuckled nervously looking up at the planet-sized Jimmy glaring down at him. "Can't we just call this whole thing a mistake and go back to your plan, rendezvous for universal brotherhood, and what not?"
"Hmm…"
After a second of thinking, Jimmy's only response was a slight blow from his mouth sending Goobot's ship flying backwards doing multiple flips. As soon as it collided with an asteroid, the ship blew up in a fiery explosion. The kids all cheered seeing Jimmy finally defeat Goobot once and for all.
In the remains of the explosion, Goobot was left without his shell and floating in the middle of space. He glared angrily at the kids as they flew their ship away.
"You haven't seen the last of us, Jimmy Neutron! And neither have you, Peni Parker! I'll get you and your little spider too!"
The ship flew too closely to Goobot catching him in their ship's engines. Once they were gone, he looked very similarly to a cooked egg.
Ooblar floated beside his brother hoping to comfort him. "You look so good sunny-side up, sire. That's no yolk." Goobot glared annoyed at that comment.
Not very far from the explosion, Quentin took a breath as he rode in a small, metal capsule. He sighed in relief. "Well, that was close. Good thing I jumped in this escape pod before everything went pear-shaped. Now if I can just get this back to Yolkus, maybe I can grab my alien tech back and return to Earth to finally make my Mysterio debut and…"
Suddenly, the escape pod made a sudden stop. Quentin nearly fell out of his chair instantly. When he looked out, he gasped in fear seeing his pod resting in the hands of the giant Jimmy, who looked down at him balefully.
"Not so fast, Quentin." Jimmy said. "You've got a lot to answer for."
Upon arriving back at the ship, the humongous Jimmy roughly tossed Quentis's escape pod into the ship's open hangar bay which was opened by Sheen on Peni's orders. The pod skidded and bounced before crashing into a wall, smoking and banged up. Quentin slowly crawled out, groaning from the rough landing, only to collapse on the ground. Upon looking up and focusing his dizzy eyes, the traitor shrieked as he found himself surrounded by a bunch of angry kids, Peni and a now small again Jimmy leading the pack. He jumped up and smiled nervously as they closed in on him.
"Uh, h-hey guys. Um, uh… L-listen, y-you didn't REALLY think I was gonna let Goobot feed your parents to that giant walking mutant drumstick, did you? Heh heh. No, no, no. I was… in deep cover! Yeah! J-just getting Goobot to trust me enough so that I could get close and save them! Brilliant, right?"
"Yeah, right. And I'm Jennifer Hudson." Libby scoffed.
Quentin chuckled nervously again before desperately focusing on a surprisingly furious looking Carl. "Carl, buddy! Check this out!" He quickly did the "quarter from the ear" trick and presented the coin to him before Carl angrily slapped the hand away, sending the quarter flying.
Out of options, Quentin reached into his pockets, grabbed some smoke pellets and threw them down, sending up a puff of purple smoke. Unfortunately, as he attempted to sneak away, Nick immediately grabbed him by the back of his shirt without even looking, tossing him back into the middle of the kids onto his bottom again. "Nice try, Mysteriyo-yo. Remember what I said about being roadkill?"
The group then advanced on the lousy magician, who crawled backward frantically til he hit a wall. "Oh come on, guys! Can't you take a joke?!"
"Oh, you like jokes, huh?" Peni asked with a smirk before turning to the bully of the group. "Butch? Let's see how much he'll laugh when he's missing a couple of teeth!" SP/dr squeaked a laugh and eyed Quentin as if saying, "You're gonna get it."
Butch smiled eagerly upon hearing that statement and approached Quentin while punching his open palm. Quentin gulped with sweat dripping from his head.
This was going to hurt. Badly.
