Our story takes place shortly after "Nicktoons Unite", a video game crossover event, in which Jimmy Neutron, Timmy Turner, Danny Phantom, and SpongeBob SquarePants work together to defeat each of their greatest enemies, who teamed up to form the Evil Syndicate.
(We open up on Earth 69, home of Jimmy Neutron, Retroville, Texas, USA, in his backyard. We cut to Jimmy's lab, where we see him pulling around some cables, which are plugged into his Interdimensional Portal, an updated version of the Universal Portal Machine from "Nicktoons Unite". Jimmy plugs in the cables to his big computer screen: the portal activates as Jimmy sits down in front of the computer)
VOX: Portal uplink successful. Awaiting further orders, Jimmy.
Jimmy: VOX, begin omniversal analysis. Label current universal collection M-76 and start scanning all Earth's for potential interdimensional threats to Retroville.
VOX: Shall I include current Earth 69?
Jimmy: Yes, proceed, VOX.
(VOX begins scanning nearby dimensions for potential threats. Suddenly, Jimmy's Mom calls him over the video phone on the computer, startling Jimmy)
Jimmy's Mom: Jimmyyy! Come in and make yourself some lunch.
Jimmy's Dad: (butts in) Yeah, Jimbo. We've got one of nature's greatest wonders: (holds up pumpkin pie) pumpkin pie.
Jimmy: (whines) Mom! Dad! I told you: I'm busy scanning neighboring universes for potential threats to Retroville. (Jimmy's parents frown) Don't you remember what I told you happened during my last interdimensional crisis?
Jimmy's Dad: (puts down pumpkin pie, points at screen) Jimmy, lunch is the second most important meal of the day, (smiles, puts down finger) right after breakfast.
Jimmy's Mom: (puts hands on hips) Your father's right, Jimmy; you march (points at floor) right in here (points toward table) and get yourself some food!
Jimmy: (sighs, looks down) Yes, Mom.
(The video phone deactivates; Jimmy turns around)
Jimmy: Oh, well. The lab should be fine (starts walking out) for a couple hours. (stops; Goddard whines) Don't worry, boy. I've updated my security tenfold. It'll be fine. (starts walking again) Now, come on.
(Jimmy and Goddard walk off-screen. The computer screen flashes "Earth 20 scanning"; At that moment we zoom in on the Interdimensional Portal and transition to the Ghost Zone, located on Earth 20, home of Danny Phantom, where we see the Box Ghost floating around)
Box Ghost: How sad that I, the Box Ghost, most frequent visitor to Earth, have only struck fear into the hearts of mankind once, but once I begin my reign of terror anew, I will be the most respected ghost in all the Ghost Zone! (pauses, floats away) To do this, I must take inspiration from my brethren. And my arch-nemesis, Danny Phantom, has fought a lot of them. (pauses, floats further away) Vlad Plasmius, Skulker, Technus: each formidable foes in their own right. And they all have one thing in common: technology! (stops, raises arms in the air) So, what better place to get technology than the most advanced ghost in all the Ghost Zone: (camera turns on Clock work's lair) Clockwork!
(We cut to inside Clockwork's lair. The Box Ghost flies in through the front door, which has been left open)
Box Ghost: Foolish of Clockwork to leave the front door open.
(We cut to the top of the tower. Box ghost flies in, smiling gleefully)
Box Ghost: And wouldn't you know, he's gone grocery shopping! (closes eyes, laughs; opens eyes, looks at camera) I'll never tell you what ghosts eat. (flies around room, awestruck) Look at all these gadgets! (floats to shelf with strange medallions) Time medallions! (floats over to time portal) Screens that let you see into the future! But which will be right for me?
(The Box Ghost looks to the side and notices a canister sitting on a pedestal in the middle of the room, protected by a transparent, rectangular force field. The Box Ghost flies closer, where it's revealed to be a copy of the Fenton Thermos, a device Danny uses to capture all his ghostly enemies. The Box Ghost looks in awe)
Box ghost: Interesting. This is the only device in the room that's guarded; it must be an ESPECIALLY dangerous weapon. (rubs chin) But how do I get it out? (stops) Oh.
(Box Ghost raises his hand and shoots a blue beam at the force field: the force field dissipates and Box Ghost grabs the thermos)
Box Ghost: (laughs) Foolish Clockwork. You should have known better than to keep your most dangerous weapon in a force field shaped (holds thermos above head) -LIKE A BOX! (lowers thermos, curious) Although, this device looks a lot like the container the Phantom kid always traps me in. I (holds finger over button on thermos) wonder if - (presses button)
(The thermos starts to shake, startling the Box Ghost and causing him to drop it. The thermos breaks open and out comes the most dangerous ghost on Earth 20: Dark Danny)
Dark Danny: (dramatic) I'M-FREEEEE! (laughs)
Box Ghost: Who are you?
(Dark Danny perks up and turns around to see the Box Ghost; he frowns, disappointed)
Dark Danny: Box Ghost. (looks off in distance, sarcastic) What a surprise.
Box Ghost: I said, "Who are you?"
Dark Danny: (leans down; the Box Ghost is startled) You want to know who I am? (straightens up) I am Dan Phantom, the eventual combination of your Danny Phantom and Vlad Plasmius, and the most powerful ghost you'll ever see.
Box Ghost: (stares) Really? (smiles) Awesome! (turns away from to Dark Danny) A future super ghost, who will serve me (Dark Danny's eyes widen) and do whatever I say!
Dark Danny: Excuse me. (the Box Ghost perks up) Did you say serve?
Box Ghost: (looks over shoulder) Yeah. (turns back around) Why?
(Off-screen, we hear Dark Danny blast the Box Ghost; the Box Ghost slams against the wall, bound in ectoplasmic ropes)
Box Ghost: BEWARE!
(Dark Danny walks over to Clockwork's time portal and turns it counterclockwise; the portal turns on and tunes in on the present. Dark Danny stands back as he watches Danny save Amity park from a missile strike, and happens to notice the statue of Danny in front of the mayor's office. Dark Danny becomes concerned)
Dark Danny: I've been out of the time stream for too long. Phantom's come to terms with "being the hero" (the portal switches to an image of outer space nearby Uranus) and Plasmius cannot be accounted for. (lowers eyebrows) Returning to the present would be pointless. (turns portal counterclockwise) The only way to get things back the way they're supposed to be (image of final duel with Danny appears) is to make sure (turns away) it never happens.
(Dark Danny walks over to the shelf where clockwork keeps his time medallions)
Dark Danny: But first, as a precaution…
(Dark Danny uses his powers to turn the time medallion intangible and sticks it inside his chest; he pulls his hand out without the time medallion. The time medallion is wedged inside; Dark Danny shivers a little)
Dark Danny: Tingly… (straightens up, grins devilishly)
Voice: Impossible!
(Dark Danny's eyes widen. He turns around to see clockwork standing in front of the stairwell. Clockwork drops his groceries in astonishment)
Clockwork: (angry) I've looked into the future a million times! You're supposed to be in the thermos! How did you get out?!
Dark Danny: (calmly, smiles) Clockwork: one of the oldest ghosts in the Ghost Zone. (steps forward) Perhaps your powers are waning with your age.
Clockwork: (calmly) This old geezer is still spry enough to put you back in the can.
(Clockwork raises his scepter and pushes the button on top, hoping to freeze Dark Danny in place. Dark Danny looks around him and smiles at Clockwork, knowing that he has beaten him. Clockwork looks worried and presses the button 3 more times to no avail)
Clockwork: (nervous, angry) What is the meaning of this?!
Dark Danny: (points with thumb) Have you taken a look at your inventory lately?
Clockwork: (looks at shelf, panics) My time medallion! What have you done with it?!
Dark Danny: That's for me to know… (raises fist; fist starts glowing green) … and for you to never find out.
(Dark Danny blasts Clockwork back with his ghost ray and knocks him down; he tries to make a run for the time portal. Clockwork gets up and rushes toward a curtain; he pulls it back to reveal a self-destruct button underneath a glass case)
Clockwork: Not so fast!
(Clockwork lifts up the case and slams the button; the time portal explodes. Dark Danny stops in his tracks. He looks down and his feet, disappointed, then, he laughs. Clockwork is confused)
Clockwork: What's so funny?
Dark Danny: (looks at Clockwork) You're forgetting, I terrorized the Ghost Zone for (raises eyebrows) 10 YEARS (lowers eyebrows) in my future. I know everything about this place, (looks toward ceiling) including more than one way back.
(Dark Danny takes a deep breath and uses his ghostly wail to incapacitate Clockwork and shatter the window behind him. He jets out at a brilliant speed. Clockwork watches as Dark Danny flies toward a big purple portal; Clockwork panics)
Clockwork: The Ghost Zone's natural portals!
(Dark Danny flies into the purple portal and disappears)
Clockwork: (looks behind, worried) The future!
(We cut to another curtain as Clockwork scurries in front of it; he pulls it back to reveal another time portal. Clockwork presses the button on top of his scepter and activates the portal)
(Clockwork presses the button on top of his scepter and the screen starts displaying images of the future, including Danny confronting Dark Danny, the Nicktoons in a coffee shop on Earth 18, aka the Rugrats universe, and later engaging the Villain whose name isn't Shirley, powered by the 4 Reality Gems. Please note that everything will be explained as the story goes on)
Clockwork: Yes… Yes, (turns to side, smiles) this could work.
(Clockwork floats away as we transition out of his layer and into the portal that Dark Danny flew through. Dark Danny laughs as we move past him and transition back to Jimmy's lab on Earth 69. Dark Danny flies out of the portal, now in 3-dimensional form, eyes closed and laughing)
Dark Danny: At last! (opens eyes) I-have-returned! (stops, confused, looks around Jimmy's lab) Where am I? (looks at hands) What is the meaning of (looks behind him) this?
(Dark Danny notices the interdimensional portal and reads a cartoon-ish description just above the control console)
Dark Danny: "Interdimensional portal 3.0. If you have any questions about multiversal exploration, please contact James Isaac Neutron, currently residing in Retroville, Texas." (pulls back) So,... the Guys in White were right: the multiverse is real. (looks at Interdimensional Portal, grins) Yes… the multiverse… (walks around Interdimensional Portal) I could make use of this. (rubs chin) But how?
(Dark Danny presses a button on the control console and deactivates the portal, causing VOX to shut down. He starts pressing random buttons until the portal reactivates, startling him. We cut to Fairy World on Earth 57, home to the Fairly OddParents. We transition slowly to inside Jorgen Von Strangle's headquarters; a purple portal opens right outside the bathroom door. The bathroom door swings open and some soap, toilet paper, and a combat boot come flying out, followed by a purple lava lamp. Back in Jimmy's lab, Dark Danny turns himself intangible to avoid getting hurt by everything flying out of the portal. The portal deactivates and Dark Danny turns himself tangible again. Dark Danny looks around at everything that came out of the portal and notices at the lava lamp; he frowns)
Dark Danny: A lava lamp? Very underwhelming. (walks toward lava lamp) Still, I am part Plasmius, so, (picks up lava lamp) a part of me does hearken back to that era. (rubs dust off lava lamp)
(The lava lamp starts shaking and startles Dark Danny. He drops the lava lamp as a cloud of smoke emanates from it and out comes Norm the Genie, one of Timmy Turner's greatest foes. Several ribbons and confetti fly everywhere)
Norm: Ah, finally! (bends back) Feels like I've been in there (straightens up) for years!
Dark Danny: (looks off in distance) There is no end to the surprises of today.
Norm: (looks at Dark Danny, confused) Hey, wait a minute. (points at Dark Danny) What's going on with you? (looks at hand, startled) What's going on with me?! (looks around Jimmy's lab) Where the heck am I?!
Dark Danny: (looks at Norm) You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Norm: (looks down at Dark Danny) Oh, I don't know. I've been around for a while; I think I can handle it.
Dark Danny: Very well. My name is Dan Phantom, though some refer to me as Dark Danny.
(We transition to a flashback to Dark Danny's future, where we see him destroy what's left of Amity Park, Danny's hometown)
Dark Danny: (voiceover) I was born in another universe, in a dystopian timeline now erased (transition to Danny capturing him in the Fenton Thermos) and was captured by my younger self while on a trip to the past to reassure the events of my existence. (flashback ends) I escaped my imprisonment and flew through a portal, thinking I'd return to my Earth, but instead, I arrived here, (points at Interdimensional Portal) where I discovered this portal. (Norm glances over his shoulder) and summoned (Norm turns back to Dark Danny) you here.
Norm: (wide eyed) Hmm... (looks over Dark Danny) NOT the craziest story I've ever heard. (looks down at Dark Danny, serious) And, now, let's get down to brass tacks. (tips head as if tipping hat) My name is Norm, the genie. And since you freed me from the magic lamp, I can now grant you (conjures glowing sign saying "3 rule-free wishes") 3 rule-free wishes.
Dark Danny: (intrigued) Wait a minute. 3 rule-free wishes? I can wish- (grins) for anything?
Norm: Yep. (points to fingers as if counting) Money, power, love-
Dark Danny: 3 more wishes?
Norm: (pulls in close as if whispering a secret, looks back and forth) Well, you can, although I recommend against it. My last master who did that almost suffocated on Mars. (raises eyebrows) True story. (pulls away)
Dark Danny: (pauses) Could I have a moment to think about this?
Norm: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah. Sure. Take your time. It's not like I (leans back like lying in chair) don't have any plans.
Dark Danny: (turns around, smiles; wrangles hands, in head) This is too good to be true. I could use those rule-free wishes to restore my timeline. Make it impossible to erase. I would be (smiles with teeth) invincible!
(Dark Danny turns around and looks at Norm; Norm smiles at him devilishly)
Dark Danny: (frowns, in head) No. I can't trust him with such a delicate wish. He's got the same devilish look in his eye I do. (turns away again) But there must be something I can do. (raises eyebrows) Perhaps with my newfound discovery of the multiverse… (turns to Norm; out loud) What exactly are these plans of yours?
Norm: Huh? What are you-
Dark Danny: Just answer the question.
Norm: Well, I really want to be able to travel the world without worrying about a master or another magic lamp. Especially (frowns, snaps fingers, Canadian outfit materializes) Canada. Someone's gotta teach them how things are in the real world. (snaps fingers again, Canadian outfit disappears)
Dark Danny: (smiles) Then, I have a proposition for you: you grant me my every wish without question, and before the year is out, I will use my final one to set you free- permanently.
Norm: (shocked; closes eyes, shakes hands) Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! (opens eyes, lowers glasses) You're serious? (Dark Danny stares at him; pauses; smiles, reaches out hand) Well, then, Mr. Phantom, (Dark Danny shakes hand) you've got yourself a deal.
Dark Danny: (smiles) Excellent. (walks toward Norm, pushes Norm aside) Stand aside. (starts pushing buttons on control console)
Norm: What are you doing?
Dark Danny: (focuses on control console) We can't afford this (points to description plate) James Neutron to catch on to us. We must conference somewhere else.
(The Interdimensional Portal activates; Dark Danny sticks his head through. On the other side of the portal, Dark Danny's head transforms into a SpongeBob-style as he partially enters the Nowhere Dimension on Earth 56, home to SpongeBob SquarePants; he looks around and smiles)
Dark Danny: Perfect.
(Dark Danny steps through and Norm follows, who also change his appearance)
Norm: Hey, wait for me, Dracula. (looks at arms; looks at Dark Danny, curious, points) Have you always looked like that?
Dark Danny: (looks at hand) No. It appears that with each universe we enter, (looks up) we changed.
Norm: Fascinating. So, what's the plan? (leans close to Dan Danny; snaps fingers, conjures heavy coat) Come on, Mt. Everest: don't give me the cold (snaps fingers, heavy coat vanishes) shoulder! (leans back)
Dark Danny: (keeps back turned to Norm, keeps cool) There are countless worlds out there, Norm; they're like apples, ripe for the picking. (gestures with arm) From here, we'll build a lair greater than anyone has ever seen, and plot our revenge against our enemies (slowly pumps fist) and their allies. (laughs evilly; Norm joins in)
[cue Nicktoons Unite intro]
(We transition a couple months later from Dark Danny and Norm's perspective, back into Jimmy's backyard on Earth 69. Suddenly, a huge cloud of blue sparkles flashes with the word "GONG!" in front; the cloud fades away and there is Dark Danny and Norm. Dark Danny, now wearing a strange white device on his left wrist, looks at Jimmy's clubhouse with the very serious look on his face while Norm looks everywhere else, smiling)
Norm: (flexes, poses) Man, I gotta tell ya, I kinda missed this place. I mean, do you see how ripped I look in this (stops posing, looks at Dark Danny) universe?
Dark Danny: (looks at hand) Yes, if I had an ounce of humanity left, I'd be feeling the same way, (puts hand down, looks off in distance) but I don't, (turn to Norm) so, I'm not. (pauses) Let's get to work.
(Dark Danny turns intangible and descends into the ground, startling and confusing Norm. Norm looks down at the ground for a moment, wondering what his latest master has done)
Norm: (slaps head) Oh, right. He's a ghost.
(Norm snaps his fingers and disappears in another cloud of sparkles; he reappears in another cloud of sparkles back down in Jimmy's lab. The Interdimensional Portal is gone and Dark Danny is looking at the empty space)
Dark Danny: The portal's gone. (looks up) That's good. (looks at Norm) I wish for a one-man rocket that only appears it's still being worked on.
(Norm snaps his fingers and a cloud of blue sparkles appears; the cloud dissipates and a vehicle, bearing resemblance to a toy rocket, is left behind. An enormous blue tarp floats over the rocket and slowly drops on top; there is a note attached to the tarp that reads "Sheen, do NOT look under this blanket! J.N.". Dark Danny turns intangible and flies through the ceiling, while Norm snaps his fingers and transports himself in a cloud of blue sparkles next to Dark Danny on the roof of Jimmy's clubhouse. Dark Danny looks up at the sky, pointing)
Dark Danny: And now I wish for a planet as far away as any human can possibly reach.
Norm: (looks at Norm) Uh, any specifics? Color? Shape? (raises eyesbrows/voice) Size?
Dark Danny: (puts arm down, looks at Norm) You may indulge yourself, Norm, (looks at sky again) as long as it can support human life.
Norm: (smiles, cracks fingers) Alright!
(Norm raises his hand and snaps his fingers. Exactly 4 million and one light years away, a huge cloud of blue sparkles with the word "GONG!" in front of it appears; the clown dissipates, revealing a small, ridged, green globe with a huge wooden spike running through the middle. Back on Earth, Norm conjures up a large telescope and Dark Danny looks through)
Norm: (gestures to sky) Behold! The planet Zeenu. A strange new world with new lifeforms, new civilizations, and a little surprise for our friends. (whispers in Dark Danny's ear)
Dark Danny: Impressive. (telescope dissipates) And I wish for 3 more wishes.
(The screen fills with a huge blue cloud of sparkles with the word "GONG!" in front of it; the cloud dissipates and the telescope is gone)
Dark Danny: And now, we'll take cover, (floats up, descends behind clubhouse; Norm follows) and watch true genius at play.
(Off in the distance, we hear the voice of Sheen Estevez, Jimmy's 2nd best friend, singing)
Norm: (squints) Who is that?
(Dark Danny pulls up the device on his wrist and presses a button; a screen flips up, revealing it to be a wrist computer. Dark Danny types on a keyboard on the computer and pulls up a profile on Sheen)
Dark Danny: Sheen Estevez, Neutron's 2nd closest friend. (closes device, looks toward Sheen) The perfect patsy.
Sheen (sings): I like chickens, I like pants, but I don't like chickens in my pants, chickens in my pants, CHICKENs IN MY PAAANTS! (walks in lab; cut to lab, climbs down ladder) Hey! Anybody here? (jumps off ladder) I think I left my "Ultra Lord Goes Boom-Boom" card- (looks at table, notices card) Oh, there it is! (picks up card, turns it over; reveals picture of Ultra Lord in diaper; looks up at tarp) Ooh, what's that? (puts card in pocket, walks toward tarp, notices note) "Sheen, do not look under this blanket!" (turns around, puts finger to chin) "J.N." (smiles, pulls off tarp; climbs up ladder, notices another note) "Sheen, do not get into this rocket! J.N." (turns around, shouts) Jimmy Neutron! Someone named J.N. is putting all these notes in your lab! (throws note away; climbs in rocket, notices another note) "Sheen, do not push this button. J.N." Don't push (throws note away) which button? There's so many! (starts pressing buttons) No, no, no, not that one, no. (presses button, rocket turns on; worried) Oops. (dome closes)
(We cut to outside Jimmy's clubhouse as Sheen blasts over Jimmy's house)
Sheen: I DIDN'T DO IT!
(There is now a big hole in the roof of Jimmy's clubhouse, and there is smoke coming out of it. Dark Danny and Norm pull their heads back up; Dark Danny, who turned intangible to avoid getting hit by any debris, turns tangible again)
Norm: (shocked) Wow, that was true genius.
Dark Danny: (floats up, lands on roof) A domino effect has been initiated in this reality. (turns around, looks at Norm) Let's get back to base before we're noticed.
(Norm snaps his fingers and the two villains disappear in another cloud of blue sparkles with the word "GONG!" in front. We transition to downtown Retroville, where we see Jimmy and his best friend, Carl Wheezer, walking down the sidewalk)
Carl: So, you got any plans for the night, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Well, not exactly, although my parents are going out on a hot date tonight.
Carl: (surprised) Really?
Jimmy: Yeah. Who'd've thought that in spite of all the differences they've had over the years, they'd still be so close to each other, huh, Carl? (Carl sighs; looks at Carl) What's wrong, Carl?
Carl: (looks at ground) I just wish I had someone special in my life.
(Jimmy is shocked and stops walking; Carl stops, too)
Jimmy: (confused) What?! I thought you were dating Elke Elkberg!
Carl: (sad) No, she said that a long distance relationship from Switzerland was too hard on her.
Jimmy: (upset) When did this happen?!
Carl: About 3 weeks ago.
Jimmy: Oh, Carl! I'm sorry! I had no idea! (pauses, puts hand on Carl's shoulder) Tell you what: we'll go get Sheen and we'll help find you a new girlfriend.
(In the background, Dark Danny's rocket starts hurtling toward Jimmy and Carl)
Carl: (perks up, gasps) Well, gee, Jimmy! You mean it?!
Jimmy: (takes hand off Carl) Well, of course, Carl. You're our best friend.
Carl: Aw! (Sheen's screaming is heard in the background) Thanks, Jim.
(Dark Danny's rocket flies just above Jimmy and Carl's heads, causing them to almost lose their balance)
Carl: (petrified) JIMMY! (points at rocket) What was that?!
Jimmy: (fiddles with watch) I don't know! (watch opens; points miniature satellite dish at rocket) If I can get a good reading on it…
(After a few seconds, a close-up of Sheen in the rocket appears on the screen of Jimmy's watch; Jimmy is shocked)
Jimmy: It's a one-man rocket! And Sheen is inside!
(Sheen continues screaming as the rocket starts going in circles around a tall tower)
Sheen: (bumpy) Get-ting-dizz-yyyyyy!
(We cut back to Jimmy)
Jimmy: (continues to fiddle with watch, moves arm around) Tracing his ion engine trail to… (stops; confused, shocked) …my lab?!
Carl: (points up at rocket) Jimmy! (Jimmy turns around) Do something! Sheen's about to fly into space!
Jimmy: I know! (aims watch at Dark Danny's rocket) I'll use one of my universal remote antennas!
(Jimmy shoots a small, gray module from his watch at Dark Danny's rocket, but it misses)
Jimmy: Gas planet! He's too far away now!
(Sheen starts to leave the atmosphere)
Sheen: (fading out) JIMMMMYYYY!
Carl: (Jimmy pauses, then turns around and runs; runs after Jimmy) Wait for me, Jimmy!
Jimmy: (dials on watch) VOX! Contact Cindy Vortex!
VOX: (robotic) Working…
Cindy: (on watch, romantically) Hey, Hunk-muffin. How's it going?
Jimmy: (frantic) We have an emergency! Sheen is in trouble! Get Libby and meet me and Carl at the lab!
Cindy: (on watch, sobers up) I'm on it!
(We transitioned back to Jimmy's lab; Jimmy is next to the spot where the one-man rocket was, explaining everything he knows about the situation to Cindy and Libby)
Jimmy: (serious) Guys, we have a situation: (Goddard shows footage of Sheen in Jimmy's lab via holograms) someone planted a one-man rocket in my lab and Sheen's taken off in it. He's lost somewhere in space.
Libby: (sassy) I knew it; that boy is always getting himself into trouble!
Cindy: Then, tell me again, why are you dating him?
Libby: (looks at Cindy, smiles) I told you: he's super sweet, in an obsessive geeky kind of way.
Jimmy: (Goddard pulls up map of space) Judging by the velocity he was traveling, accounting for gravity, wind resistance, and approximate amount of fuel a vessel of his size would carry, (points at map) I estimate he's approximately 4 million light years away, give or take. (stops pointing at map) and spring break ends in 4 days, so we need to leave at 8:00 at the latest if we're going to get him back. (Goddard switches to hologram of JimBus; points at hologram) We'll be taking the JimBus.
(We cut to Carl, who is suddenly holding suitcases and wearing a sun hat)
Carl: (excitedly) Road trip!
(Cindy and Libby look at Carl and each other, confused; we zoom in on the JimBus hologram, which transitions to the real JimBus in Jimmy's parents driveway just a few minutes later, as Jimmy is busy storing some of his greatest inventions in his Hypercube. Cindy watches him, curiously)
Cindy: (points at Hypercube) Why are you bringing so many inventions with you?
Jimmy: You know what I always say: "Always prepare for any eventuality".
Cindy: (confused, annoyed) I've only ever heard you say that once.
Jimmy: (picks up Hypercube) I usually say it in my head.
Cindy: (irritated) That doesn't count.
Jimmy: (walks on bus) Sure it does.
(Cindy follows Jimmy on the JimBus; Carl and Libby are already in their seats. Jimmy and Cindy sit down; Jimmy sets a few of the controls, then turns around to look at everyone else)
Jimmy: Is everyone ready? (everybody nods) Alright, then. (turns back around; presses button on dashboard) Atomic batteries to power… (flips switch) Turbines to speed…
(We cut to outside, where we see Jimmy's Dad in a tuxedo, walking along the pathway to the porch)
Jimmy's Dad: (holds hand to mouth) Hey, Jimjam. Have you seen my fancy tie? The one with the ducks on it?
(There is some rumbling as Jimmy's Dad looks to his left at the JimBus, preparing to launch. Jimmy's Dad looks at it, curiously. Suddenly, the JimBus blasts off, leaving a huge, black cloud of smoke)
Jimmy's Dad: (coughs; looks to side, rubs chin) Hmm… Looks like the Jimster is off having another adventure. (smiles) Oh, well. (turns around, walks toward house) I'll find it myself.
(We cut to outer space, right outside the Earth's atmosphere. Inside the JimBus, Jimmy continues to fiddle with the controls on the dashboard)
Jimmy: Okay, so, if we travel at hyperspeed, the odds we'll arrive where Sheen is will be 47 to 1.
Cindy: (concerned) Won't that exhaust our fuel supply?
Jimmy: (looks at Cindy) Not necessarily. I still have some hydro-quantum energy from our visit to Mars a few months ago; we'll be fine. (turns away, pulls switch)
(The JimBus starts careening at an incredible speed; inside, Everyone is pushed back in their seat and starts shaking violently)
Jimmy: (reaches up, grabs lever) Adjusting cabin for hyperspeed differential! (pulls lever)
(Everything inside the JimBus settles down for a moment, when suddenly, the ship's computer starts bleeping like crazy)
Carl: What's that sound?
Jimmy: Sensors indicate a spatial anomaly forming directly ahead.
(Jimmy hits the brakes and stops the JimBus right next to Pluto, just as a wormhole opens up right in front of the vehicle)
Jimmy: Phew! That was close.
Carl: What is it, Jimmy?
Jimmy: It's a wormhole, Carl. You've seen one before. Remember?
Carl: Oh, right.
Jimmy: (looks at computer on dashboard, eyes widen) Goddard, are you seeing what I'm seeing?!
Libby: (curious) What is it?
Jimmy: (excited) This is too good to be true.
Libby: (curiouser) What is?
Jimmy: According to these readings, there is an ion trail emanating on the other side of this wormhole; (pulls back, rubs chin, calms down) Of course, it could just be background radiation.
Libby: Mm-hmm. And what does that mean exactly?
Jimmy: (looks at Libby) There's a 75-80% chance that this wormhole will take us to wherever Sheen went!
Libby: (excited) Then, what are we waiting for?! Let's go!
(Libby grabs the throttle on the dashboard and pushes it forward; the JimBus flies straight into the wormhole, with the wormhole closing behind them. We zoom in on a portal behind one of Pluto's moons, as it's revealed that Dark Danny has been watching the whole thing; we cut to the other side of the portal, in Dark Danny's new lair in the Nowhere Dimension)
Dark Danny: Exactly where have you sent them?
(The portal in front of Dark Danny closes)
Norm: Oh, about 4 months into the future. (gestures hand, closes portal) We should be well and done with our work by then.
Dark Danny: (smiles) Excellent. (turns around) With Neutron preoccupied, it'll be much easier to complete Phase 2.
(Dark Danny walks over to a big, gray metal chest and opens it; he starts rummaging around inside)
Norm: (curious) Yeah. About that: do I really have to come, too?
(Dark Danny holds his fist up to Norm's face, causing it to glow green. Norm flinches and holds up his hands in defense. He looks at the fist, then at Dark Danny)
Norm: (deadpan) I take that as a yes.
Dark Danny: (lowers fist) It's going to take two to kidnap King Neptune from Earth 56. (cut to Norm, tosses green-striped bathing suit from off-screen) Put on your bathing suit.
Norm: (catches bathing suit) Hey, it's no problem! It's just… (holds up bathing suit, points to it) I don't think this is my color.
(We transition to Bikini Bottom via bubbles, as per the show, at night)
French Narrator: Ah, Bikini Bottom: a literal Sea of Tranquility in a world of chaos. It is home to one of my favorite creatures, and closest friends: (transition to SpongeBob's house) SpongeBob SquarePants,...
(We cut to SpongeBob's bedroom; SpongeBob is sleeping)
French Narrator: …fry cook extraordinaire, and now also the manager of the Krusty Krab 2.
SpongeBob: (wakes up) Open everyday of week. Come in and try our Coral Bits: they are a touch of Heaven. (falls back asleep)
French Narrator: (disturbed) Eh, right. (cut to outside house) Now, where was I? (camera moves past Squidward's house to Patrick's) Ah, yes! The Krusty Krab 2: (cut the Krusty Krab 2) one of only 2 places to get a Krabby Patty…
(Suddenly, a dark blue cloud with the word "GONG!" appears and dissipates, leaving behind Dark Danny and Norm)
French Narrator: Oh, what have we here?
Norm: So, where is this King Neptune's Castle?
Dark Danny: (opens wrist device; points down road) Straight down (points down road) this road. (closes device, starts walking; Norm follows)
French Narrator: (excited) Actual criminal masterminds!
(We transition a few minutes later, just outside King Neptune's Castle; as Dark Danny and Norm try to find a place to sneak in, the French narrator continues to talk about them)
French Narrator: True, (Dark Danny and Norm perk up) Bikini Bottom was once plagued by the evil genius of Sheldon J. Plankton, (Dark Danny and Norm look up and down) but he has been locked up tight ever since his endeavors with the Evil Syndicate!
Dark Danny: (looks around) Who said that?
French Narrator: In fact, the town's police force is top-notch.
Dark Danny: (looks at Norm) Norm, track down the sound!
Norm: (annoyed, looks at Dark Danny) What do you think I'm doing?!
French Narrator: They're not the kind of guys who sit around, eating donuts all day.
Norm: (looks up, points) Look! (Dark Danny looks up) Up there!
French Narrator: They're the kind of men who make sure that crime doesn't pay!
(Dark Danny shoots a ghost ray from his finger and hits the French Narrator's helmet, blasting a hole and causing water to flow inside. Startled, the French Narrator falls to the ground and starts to drown)
Dark Danny: (looks at Norm) Send him back to the surface; we can't afford to draw any attention to ourselves.
(Norm snaps his fingers and the French Narrator disappears in another dark blue cloud at their feet. We cut to inside the castle, where we see Dark Danny use his powers to walk Norm and himself through the wall, causing Norm to shiver. The 2 walk quietly to King Neptune's bedroom)
Dark Danny: (quietly) Do you have a Neptune in your universe?
Norm: He prefers to be called Poseidon.
Dark Danny: So, that's a yes.
Norm: Yeah.
Dark Danny: What is he like?
Norm: Oh, he's an idiot! A party animal! All those supposed (makes quotation marks with his fingers) "greek gods" are. (pauses) I don't understand why everyone thinks they're so advanced.
(Dark Danny and Norm arrive at King Neptune's bedroom, with the door already open. King Neptune appears as he does in the 2004 film, older and balding)
Dark Danny: (gestures to King Neptune) Well, what do you make of this?
Norm: (pauses, impressed) I think my universe has something to learn from this one.
Dark Danny: (pauses, holds out hand) Hand me the helmet.
(Norm conjures a strange helmet in his hand and gives Dark Danny the helmet; Dark Danny floats toward King Neptune, preparing the place to helmet on his head)
Norm: (whispers) Remind me again: where did we get this helmet?
Dark Danny: (whispers) Nocturne. A very powerful ghost. He used helmets like this to keep people asleep and harness their dreams for power. This should make it easier to transfer him back to base for experimentation.
(Dark Danny slowly place Nocturn's helmet on King Neptune's head; King Neptune reacts a little, but ultimately falls into a deeper sleep)
Dark Danny: (deadpan, smiles) Almost (looks up) too easy.
(A time card that says "2 hours and several failed experiments later" flashes against the screen)
French narrator: 2 hours (coughs; strained) and several failed experiments later.
(We cut back to back to Dark Danny's lair, where we see Dark Danny standing in front of 2 large, metallic boxes with glass panes, with a still-sleeping King Neptune inside one of them; we watch as Norm places a small glass case of yellow dust next to King Neptune)
Norm: Alright, what is this? Experiment #22? We're about to use dandruff that we collected from SquarePants to create a combo-clone that should make it obedient to you.
Dark Danny: (looks at laser) These cloning devices you've conjured are quite the spectacle. (looks at Norm) Where did you get them from?
Norm: (cocky) Where do you think?! Neutron! (curious) Why?
Dark Danny: (looks at King Neptune) No matter. (pauses) Begin cloning procedure.
(Norm pulls a switch on the cloning machine and closes the hatch on the first box. A cloud of smoke surrounds King Neptune and SpongeBob's dandruff as a duplicate version appears in the other box; Norm turns off the machine and the smoke dissipates. The hatch on the other box opens as the Neptune Clone opens his eyes, completely topless and without a crown, and Dark Danny approaches him)
Dark Danny: Do you know (Neptune Clone looks down at him) who I am?
Neptune Clone: (pauses) You are… (pauses) my creator!
Dark Danny: (smiles) Perfect. I have a job for you.
(We focus on Dark Danny as we transition several moments later via bubbles. Dark Danny continues to look up at the Neptune clone).
Dark Danny: Remember. (cut to the Neptune clone and him looking at each other; the Neptune clone is now wearing the crown and robe that belonged to the original) You are to keep watch over SpongeBob SquarePants. Do not let him leave Bikini Bottom, or have any contact from outside it.
Neptune Clone: (stands at attention) It will be done, my liege.
Dark Danny: See that it is. (turns head) Norm, the trident.
(Norm floats on screen, struggling to carry King Neptune's trident; the Neptune Clone grabs the handle and picks it up with ease. Norm, out of breath, is confused)
Norm: (looks at camera) Must be like that guy with the hammer.
(Dark Danny walks over to a duplicate of Jimmy's Interdimensional Portal and opens one back to King Neptune's bedroom. The Neptune Clone floats through and the portal closes behind him, just as the real King Neptune's squire walks in the doorway)
Squire: Your highness?
Neptune Clone: (turns around) Yes?
Squire: It's time for you to address the populace.
Neptune Clone: I'll be right there.
(We cut back to Dark Danny's lair)
Dark Danny: (smiles) By the time the stress sets in, it'll be too late for them.
Norm: (looks around, gestures; impatient) Well, yeah, yeah, that's great and all. (smiles devilishly) But can we get to the part where we destroy (points to himself with thumb) my world next? (chuckles)
(We transition 3 months later from their perspective. Dark Danny phases through the door to another part of his lair, with an angry look on his face. He floats past Norm, who is sitting in a chair, reading a copy of "Da Rules'', grumbling. Norm looks up at him)
Norm: Alright. (puts Da Rules down) I'll bite: (glares, points) what's got your beef?
Dark Danny: 4 months, Norm. We've been at this for a while now, incited 4 major incidents, and we've been unable to separate Timmy Turner from his fairy godparents. (looks away)
Norm: (floats up) Tell me about it. I'm still as shocked as you are about Turner's secret 50 year wish. Although, if magical beings had any concept of aging...
Dark Danny: Silence! (pauses) As out of character as this is for me, I'm throwing in the towel. (looks back) We can't afford to keep hacking away at your universe like this.
Norm: (shocked, gestures with hands; confused) Whoa! Hold on a minute. You're giving up just like that? Why don't you just try another universe instead?
Dark Danny: (unfazed) When I make up my mind, it is not easily changed. Pack your stuff, Norm.
Norm: Ah, smoof! (goes back to reading Da Rules) Guess it's back to the old lamp for m- (eyes widen, sits up in chair) Hello! What's this?!
Dark Danny: (perks up, looks over Norm's shoulder) What are you reading?
Norm: (closes book, holds up cover) It's just my copy of Da Rules. (Dark Danny scowls) I got it from Turner's godparent, Cosm-
Dark Danny: (serious) What page is it?
Norm: Oh. (opens book again) It's just an article about what will happen if there's a Fairy civil war.
Dark Danny: Fairy… (grins) …civil… (makes an evil face) …war?
Norm: (Gets out of chair) Yeah. Listen to this: "If one or more fairies oppose the current government of Fairy World, they have the right to declare civil war, in which all fairies in the universe will be split into two groups. Whichever group wins gets complete control over all magical creatures and Da Rules".
(Dark Danny looks up as the camera zooms in on his face. Then he gives an evil smile)
Dark Danny: Norm, you're a genius.
Norm: (confused) I am? (closes book) I mean, (looks at camera, smiles) I am.
Dark Danny: (walks over to Interdimensional Portal, fiddles with controls) If we can trigger a civil war on Fairy World, we can eliminate the threat of both Timmy Turner and fairy godparents altogether. (computer screen displays image of Timmy's house) And I believe I know where to start. (laughs)
(We zoom into the image of Timmy's house as it transforms into Timmy's house in Dimmsdale, California on Earth 57. We cut to Timmy's bedroom, where Timmy's alarm blares loudly. Timmy slams his fist on the clock and splits it in half; he sits up, stretches his arms, and pulls up close to his fishbowl on his nightstand, smiling widely)
Timmy: (happy) Gooood morning, Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke!
(The 2 big fish pull out 2 magic wands and smile while the little fish pulls out a small rattle and smiles, too; the fish disappear and reappear as Timmy's fairies, Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke, formally known as Poof)
Cosmo and Wanda: (happy) Morning, Timmy.
Zeke: (waves arms) Poof! Poof!
(Timmy snaps his fingers and Cosmo and Wanda use their wands to "poof" Timmy's clothes on him)
Timmy: I have a feeling that today (walks off-screen) is will be like no other day!
(We cut to Timmy's kitchen; Timmy sits down at the table as his mom brings him some disgusting-looking pancakes. Timmy picks up his fork, jabs the stack, and shoves it all in his mouth)
Timmy: (syrup drips on chin) Mmmmm! (looks at camera, mouth full) Don't let my mom fool you; (looks in direction of mom) It may look awful, (looks at camera) but it's actually very delicious. (swallows pancakes)
(Suddenly, we hear a loud horn honking as Timmy's Dad backs their car into the wall and busts a huge hole in it. The car has 2 fins on each side and one on top and 2 engines on each side as well. Timmy's Dad sticks head out the window to look at Timmy)
Timmy's Dad: Oooooh, Timmy! Check it out: I've converted our station wagon into a station-ROCKET! Do you want me to drive you to school?!
(Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke change themselves into Timmy's school supplies. Timmy gets out of his seat and walks to the rocket-car)
Timmy: (smiles) You've got it, Dad.
(Timmy climbs in the rocket-car and jets off to school; we see the road wave up and down as Timmy and his dad race all the way to the school. Just as they approach the school, Timmy's Dad hits the brakes and bumps Francis, the gray-skinned bully of the school, and knocks him into a group of trash cans. Timmy jumps out of the rocket-car)
Timmy: Thanks, (slams car door) Dad!
(Timmy's Dad speeds away, causing the rocket-car to blow out a big cloud of smoke, which fills up the whole screen; we transition to Timmy's classroom, where we see Mr. Crocker grading everyone's papers)
Mr. Crocker: (smiles) F! F! F! F! F! (stops, frowns, confused) Hey! Wait a minute? This is Timmy Turner's paper. (scratches head) And he got an (looks up, shocked) A?!
A.J.: (frightened) What?! But-but that's better than me! (cries, lies head on desk; Timmy smiles)
(We cut to the lunch room, where we see the lunch ladies serving some terrible looking tuna casserole. Timmy looks at the meal with disgust)
Timmy: (exaggeratedly) Boy, I sure WISH we could have the food that the staff keeps in the back!
(Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke, disguised as Timmy's silverware, raise their wands and rattle respectively; a huge yellow cloud with the word "FOOD!", surrounded by images of junk food, fills the room. Suddenly, everyone's food changes to burgers, pizza, hot dogs, cake, and cookies. All the students cheer while the lunch ladies run out of the back with the tuna casserole all over their face)
Lunch Lady: Ahh! Someone switched our food for the tuna casserole!
(Timmy laughs. We transition back to Timmy's house and Timmy's bedroom, where we see Cosmo and Wanda wearing a tuxedo and dress respectively)
Timmy: That was the best day ever!
Wanda: (combing swirl) It's even better since you allowed us to have date night tonight.
Cosmo: Yeah! I can't wait to dance the flamenco! (raises wand, conjures a radio and casual clothing; starts doing the macarena)
Wanda: (annoyed) Cosmo! That's the macarena!
Cosmo: (stops) Don't be silly, Wanda! This is the macarena! (conjures a tutu, starts dancing ballet)
Wanda: (rolls eyes, looks at Timmy) Are you sure you'll be okay watching Zeke?
Timmy: Oh, come on, Wanda: it's only been a few weeks since Father Time reversed my secret wish; have I done anything irresponsible since then?
Wanda: Actually, (looks at Timmy, smiles) no! (stops smiling, raises wand, conjures up huge, white box) But just in case, (cuts to Timmy smiling with his eyes closed) we're giving you our emergency kit. (drops kit on Timmy)
Timmy: Dyahh!
Wanda: (waves) See you, boys!
Zeke: (waves; Timmy waves from under the box) Poof! Poof!
(Cosmo and Wanda disappear to Fairy World. Timmy climbs out from under the kit and opens the lid)
Timmy: Okay, Zeke: (pulls out 4 blue blocks of different sizes) you go play with these blocks (hands blocks to Zeke) while I (points behind with thumb) go play "Crash Nebula".
(We cut to Timmy pushing the power button on his console; the TV screen flashes "Crash Nebula in Power Plant". Timmy makes Crash Nebula water a plant that grows big enough to eat him. Upon losing, Timmy presses the reset button and tries again. We transition outside where we see a portal open several feet above the ground; Dark Danny flies out as the portal closes behind him. He looks down at Timmy's window)
Dark Danny: Beware, Timmy Turner, for 5th times a charm.
(Dark Danny turns himself invisible and flies through the open window; he looks over at Zeke, then at Timmy. He flies inside Timmy and overshadows him. Timmy squirms a little, then settles down; Dark Danny opens Timmy's eyes, which have turned red. He chuckles)
Zeke: (bumps Dark Danny with block; Dark Danny looks at Zeke) Poof, poof?
Dark Danny: Oh, hey, uh,...
Poof: Poof?
Dark Danny: Yeah, that's right! (stands up) I… just remembered: (walks to bathroom) I need to use the bathroom…
(Dark Danny opens the bathroom door and stops when he realizes there's no window; he closes the door back)
Dark Danny: …over at my friend's house. Yeah, (walks over to window) that's right. Good ol' whatshisname. (step out window, points at Zeke) You stay right there and play. I'll be right back.
(Dark Danny walks out on the roof. Zeke scratches his head)
Zeke: Poof, poof?
(We cut to outside the house; Dark Danny hops off the roof)
Dark Danny: Fortunate they're all idiots.
(Dark Danny runs off screen. We cut Mr. Crocker's house. Dark Danny knocks on the door and is greeted by Mr. Crocker's mom, wearing a robe, nightmask, and curlers, repulsing Dark Danny a bit)
Dark Danny: (clears throat) Excuse me. I'm looking for… Denzel Crocker? Is he home?
Mr. Crocker's Mom: (crabby) It's 7:30 in the evening! What could you possibly want my son for at this time of day?!
Mr. Crocker: (off-screen) Mother! (walks on-screen, inside house) Don't send him away! He could be the guy who delivers my magazines! (stops, looks at Dark Danny in Timmy's body; confused) Turner! (walks in doorway) What are you doing here?
Dark Danny: (grabs Mr. Crocker's arm, pulls him outside) Do you mind if I borrow your son?
Mr. Crocker's Mom: You can keep him! He takes up so much space!
Mr. Crocker: (hurt) Mother!
(Mr. Crocker's Mom slams the door and locks it. Dark Danny pulls Mr. Crocker around his garage)
Mr. Crocker: (confused) What are you doing Turner?! And how come your voice is suddenly so cool?!
(Dark Danny opens a side door on the garage and pulls Mr. Crocker inside; we cut to inside the Crocker Cave as Dark Danny pulls him inside and lets go)
Mr. Crocker: (angry) You better have a good explanation for dragging me down to my own secret lair at this time of night!
Dark Danny: Oh, I do. You see, I had a confession I just needed to make.
Mr. Crocker: (excited) Really?! Ooooo! I love confessions! (holds up fingers) Hold that thought.
(Mr. Crocker runs off-screen multiple times to get a video camera, a chair, and popcorn. He sits down quickly, turns on the camera, and picks up the popcorn)
Mr. Crocker: Alright, Turner! What's your confession?!
Dark Danny: Well, it has to do with that show-and-tell from a long time ago.
Mr. Crocker: (calm, curious) You mean that time you tried to pass off a dog in a suit as a dinosaur?
Dark Danny: It wasn't really a dog. Not the whole time, anyway. (Mr. Crocker looks intrigued) I swapped it out because I was afraid of what my parents would think if I had brought a dinosaur into school.
Mr. Crocker: (sits up straight) Well (looks at camera), I suppose that makes sense, (stops, points at Dark Danny) but that still doesn't explain how you got that dinosaur in the first place. (leans up in Dark Danny's face) Let me guess: your friend A.J. (raises eyebrows) cloned it (lowers eyebrows) for you?
Dark Danny: No, my sources were a little more exotic.
Mr. Crocker: (hopeful) You don't mean…
Dark Danny: (camera moves in on face) Their names are Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, and they're my fairy godparents.
Mr Corcker: (ecstatic) AH-HA! I knew It! I knew it all along! (jumps, points at ceiling) You hear that, mother?!
Mr. Crocker's Mom: (off-screen) Denzel? What are you still doing in the house?!
(Mr. Crocker continues to celebrate as Dark Danny exits Timmy's body. Timmy holds his head as he regains control over himself)
Timmy: (confused, worried; looks around) What's going on here? (looks at Dark Danny, scared) Who are you?!
(Dark Danny grabs Timmy by the shirt and picks Timmy up. He duplicates himself long enough to activate his wrist computer and open another portal, back to his lair in the Nowhere Dimension. They jump through. Dark Danny tosses Timmy upside down on a stainless steel table, causing it to straighten out. Norm floats up to Timmy)
Timmy: (frightened) Norm! (angry, lowers eyebrows) What are you doing here?!
Norm: (grabs switch) I'd like to tell you, (pulls switch) but you know what your grade average is (Timmy is restrained to the table) and I don't think you'd understand the complexity. (disappears)
Timmy: What are you talking about?
(Suddenly, the whole lair starts to shake)
Timmy: (calms down, nervous) Oh, right.
Jorgen: (voice-over) Timmy Turner! (appears in mushroom cloud) You thought you could hide from me, but I found you using my (holds up small handheld device) GPS: Godchild Positioning System! (leans close) Oh, and by the way, being strapped to a table is (raises eyebrows) SO (lowers eyebrows) last year. (straightens up)
Timmy: (scared) Wait, Jorgen! You don't understand.
Jorgen: But more importantly, you, of all people, have revealed the existence of your fairy godparents, Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke! (conjures projection of Mr. Crocker in his lab, celebrating) And to Mr. Crocker of all people! (ceases projection) It is for this reason, (raises magic device) I must erase your memory of every magical encounter you've ever had!
Timmy: Noooooo!
(The device flashes 3 times, erasing Timmy's memory and leaving him dizzy with swirls in his eyes)
Jorgen: There! (puts away the device) It is done! (stops, looks around) Hey, wait a minute?! Where am I?
Dark Danny: Now!
(Norm snaps his fingers and a butterfly net appears above Jorgen, dropping on top of him and frightening him)
Jorgen: Oh, no! A butterfly net! I'm as frightened as a kitten about to take a bath! (cries)
Norm: Pathetic, isn't he?
(Dark Danny shoots out from behind the corner and flies inside Jorgen, overshadowing him. Jorgen struggles to maintain control as Norm uses his powers to levitate the net off of him. Jorgen drops to his knees as his eyes open, now having turned red, and an evil grin appears)
Dark Danny: (raises Jorgen's wand, wand glows) And now, for a little show.
(Dark Danny disappears in a mushroom cloud as we cut to Fairy World, more specifically, the Ancient Fairy Council Chambers; inside, the council deliberates over creating another change to Da Rules)
Fairy Elder 1: Fellow members of the Council, we are faced with an urgent decision: shall we or shall we not limit the use of magic to our own universe once more?
Fairy Elder 2: Wasn't it Jorgen von Strangle who suggested this rule after the Friday the 13th incident with Professor Calamitous?
Fairy Elder 3: Yes, but he regretted it after he failed to expel villain group, the Evil Syndicate, from Fairy World.
Fairy Elder 4: The odds are more in favor of such an incident happening again.
Fairy Elder 3: I agree.
Fairy Elder 2: Aye!
Fairy Elder 1: So, we vote on it. (slams gavel)
(Suddenly, the doors to the chamber blow open, revealing Dark Danny, who has used Jorgen's huge magic wand to knock them down)
Dark Danny: Sorry about the door, boys, but I thought a big entrance was in order.
Fairy Elder 1: (wide-eyed) Jorgen Von Strangle! (lowers eyebrows) What are you doing?!
Dark Danny: I'm here to take what's rightfully mine.
Fairy Elder 2: (glares) And what might that be?
Dark Danny: (lifts Jorgens wand, powers wand) Your jobs…
(A bright white light fills the screen as we transition a few minutes later, where we see every fairy and other assorted magical creatures making their way to a stage in the middle of Fairy World. Cosmo and Wanda poke their heads out of the door to the restaurant they went to, confused and wondering what's going on. Wanda pokes Juandissimo's shoulder as he floats by)
Wanda: Juandissimo. (Juandissimo turns around) What's going on?
Juandissimo: (conjures up 2 dumbbells, starts lifting and posing) I am not certain, but Jorgen has said he has an announcement to make. (dumbbells disappear, flexes) Me and (shirt rips) my awesome abs are going (shirt reappears) to attend the (shirt rips) assembly. (shirt reappears, floats away)
Wanda: (scowls) Of course, Jorgen would be behind this.
Cosmo: Yeah! (raises wand, conjures hippie outfit) What she said!
(Cosmo and Wanda float up in front of the stage where Dark Danny is standing, just as Zeke "poofs" right in front of them. Cosmo and Wanda become happy and hug their son)
Cosmo and Wanda: Zeke!
Dark Danny: Friends! Fairies! Assorted magical creatures! Lend me to your ears! I've come to inform you that the Fairy World Council is no longer with us. (everyone's eyes widen) They were in an… (looks down at wand, turns wand in hands) UNFORTUNATE accident. (everyone gasps)
Tooth Fairy: But honey, without the council to watch over us, how will we get anything done here in Fairy World?
Dark Danny: (smiles) Well, this may be a bit sudden, but I have been enforcing Da Rules for 900 years, so… (pauses; everybody gasps and murmurs)
(Suddenly, Big Daddy, Wanda's gangster-style father, breaks through the crowd, angered by this idea)
Big Daddy: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait just one channel-flippin' minute!
Cosmo: Hey, look! It's Big Daddy! (waves) Hi, Big Daddy-in-law!
Wanda: Big Daddy! (Big Daddy looks at Wanda) What are you doing?
Big Daddy: (smiles) Relax, sugar plum. Big Daddy knows what he's doing. (floats up in Dark Danny's face; Dark Danny follows Big Daddy with his eyes) Look, you're strong, rude, and I respect that, but you've got no compassion. We put you in charge of Fairy World, you'll start running it like a police state!
Dark Danny: (scowls) You think you could do better?
Big Daddy: I know I could do better! You (conjures up badge that says "Fairy Deputy") deputized me once, so, me (points with thumb to gangster-style employees) and the boys back at the office (turns around, smiles) also have a shot at the job.
Dark Danny: (smiles, chuckles) That's funny, because I was thinking if the garbageman ran this place, (Big Daddy's eyes widen and he frowns) Fairy World would stink up the rest of the universe.
Big Daddy: (turns around, angry) What?! Those are fighting words! (raises wand; Dark Danny looks curious) Why I oughta…
(Big Daddy conjures up a huge pile of trash bags and flies over Dark Danny and drops it on his head. Dark Danny sticks his head out of the pile and looks at Big Daddy as he laughs. Just then, Dark Danny, off-screen, throws one of the bags in Big Daddy's face; everyone gasps)
Big Daddy: (floats up in Dark Danny's face) You do realize that this means war?
Dark Danny: I know. (ominous) Call it.
Big Daddy: Oh, I'm callin' it. (raises wand in air) Civil War!
(Suddenly, a large pink cloud with the words "Civil War" fills the screen; the cloud dissipates and all the fairies in the assembly disappear and reappear behind either Big Daddy or Dark Danny. Cosmo, who is behind Dark Danny, notices that Wanda and Zeke are behind Big Daddy)
Cosmo: WANDAAAA!
Wanda: COSMOOO!
Big Daddy: (looks behind) Quiet, daughter of mine. (turns back around, raises wand) Charge!
(Big Daddy's side charges at the other as Dark Danny and him clash wands. At that moment, Dark Danny flies out of Jorgen's body, cackling. He activates his wrist computer and presses a button; a portal opens and he flies through, returning to his lair in the Nowhere Dimension)
Dark Danny: What a rush!
Norm: (floats up to Dark Danny) How did it go?
(Dark Danny walks over to a computer monitor and types on a keyboard; a visual of the Fairy Civil War appears on the screen)
Dark Danny: Take a look for yourself.
Norm: (looks at screen, smiles) Well, looks like old Solomon was right: pride does go before the fall.
Dark Danny: Fairy World is spinning into chaos, and the rest of Earth 57 will go with it!
Norm: So, uh, what do we do now?
Dark Danny: I believe it's time I let myself in on the secret. (laughs)
(Suddenly, a title card that says "Breaking News" flashes against the screen)
Realistic Fish Head: We interrupt this program to bring you this special news bulletin! (cut to the Realistic Fish Head) Our beloved King Neptune, who recently promised a life of benevolence on the behalf of his daughter, Mindy, has gone quickly and undeniably insane! (beam of light hits him, turns into brick) We take you live to Perch Perkins at the scene!
(We cut to Perch Perkins being filmed live as the Neptune Clone uses King Neptune's trident to stir chaos in Bikini Bottom)
Perch Perkins: Thank you. Just moments ago, (in the top right corner, pictures are shown describing what he is saying) King Neptune, who admitted to being stressed by royal duties, was in the Krusty Krab 2, hoping to relieve himself. However, due to an oversight, his server, SpongeBob SquarePants, kept tripping and spilling food on him. The stress seems to have been too much for him and his mind has snapped. (beam of light hits him, sets fire; calm) This is Perch Perkins signing off. (panics, runs around)
(We zoom out and see SpongeBob, wearing his manager pin and hat, and Patrick, wearing a normal Krusty Krab hat, watching the broadcast. They turn to look at each other)
SpongeBob: This isn't good, Patrick. All I did was trip over a nail in the floorboards. (worried) I didn't mean for this to happen.
Patrick: (annoyed) Well, you should have asked me to help fix it for you.
SpongeBob: Patrick, you said you didn't want to.
Patrick: (points at SpongeBob) That's what I said: you never asked me.
SpongeBob: O-kaaaay…
(SpongeBob and Patrick walk over to the front window and watch as the Neptune Clone continues to level the town. SpongeBob and Patrick look at each other again)
Patrick: What are we going to do now, SpongeBob?
(Suddenly, the big 2 on top of the Krusty Krab 2 comes crashing through the roof and sets on fire)
SpongeBob: Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to run around like I'm in a marathon and cry like a baby. How about you?
Patrick: Oh, I was going to do the same thing. (pauses) Do you want to go first?
SpongeBob: Oh, no, you go first; you are my best friend.
Patrick: (touched) Thanks.
(We cut to outside as we see Patrick run out of the Krusty Krab 2, screaming, followed by SpongeBob. We cut to the Neptune Clone, who has swirls in his eyes and is laughing like SpongeBob. The Neptune Clone shoots a kid with his trident and turns him into a big bowling ball; he then points it at a group of 10 fish, who scream, and turns them into bowling pins. He rolls the kid-turned-bowling-ball and hits a strike with all 10 fish-turned-pins. The Neptune Clone floats up to Weenie Hut Jr.s and zaps the smiling hotdog, burning it; he breaks it off the roof and starts eating it. We cut to the original Krusty Krab as Squidward and all the customers run out. Mr. Krabs stands in the doorway, panicking)
Mr. Krabs: Wait! Come Back! King Neptune's just a little cranky! (falls on ground face first) No! Me profits!
(We cut to SpongeBob's house as SpongeBob and Patrick run inside; SpongeBob locks the door behind him and tosses the key off-screen)
SpongeBob: (panicky) We better block the door, in case King Neptune tries to find us!
Patrick: Right!
(SpongeBob and Patrick move SpongeBob's couch, chair, TV, anemone pot, and anemone itself. SpongeBob is about to put Gary's bowl in front of the door, too, when he realizes what he's holding and stop)
SpongeBob: Wait a minute! Where's Gary?!
Gary: (off-screen, faint) Meow.
SpongeBob: (worried) Gary?! (runs to window, sees Gary outside) Gary!
(Gary is hit with a beam of light and turns to stone; he falls over motionless)
SpongeBob: (traumatized) GAARRRYYYY! No-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! (turns to Patrick, hugs patrick; cries)
Patrick: (hugs SpongeBob) Just let it all out, SpongeBob. Let it all out. (looks behind SpongeBob, picks up Neutronic Recaller from off-screen) Hey, look at this. (SpongeBob lets go and steps back) It's one of those portable radios. At least we can jam to some tunes while we wait.
SpongeBob: (excited) That's no radio: (grabs Neutronic Recaller) That's one of the communicators Jimmy Neutron gave me! (fiddles with controls) Maybe he can help us with King Neptune!
Neutronic Recaller: Signal Failure.
(SpongeBob fiddles with the controls again, but gets the same result; SpongeBob shakes it frantically until the Neutronic Recaller falls apart. SpongeBob frowns)
SpongeBob: (sheepish) Oops. Now this is broken, too.
Patrick: (looks outside) What do (looks at SpongeBob) we do now?
SpongBob: (pauses, scratches head; snaps fingers, smiles) I got it! (points at Patrick) We'll go get Squidward and Mr. Krabs and meet up at Sandy's; she'll know what to do!
(We cut to Zeenu back in Earth 69, as the Jimbus flies out of the wormhole; the wormhole closes behind it. Jimmy looks at Zeenu and smiles)
Jimmy: (points at Zeenu) There it is, guys. (looks over shoulder) Sheen's definitely down there; (looks at computer on dashboard) there's a partially-dormant ion trail (points at computer screen) leading somewhere to the surface below. (confused) Huh?
Cindy: (curious) What is it, Jimmy?
Jimmy: I haven't seen radiation levels like these since our last encounter with Timmy Turner's fairy programs, except the geiger count's (scratches head) a lot higher. (pauses, shrugs) Oh, well, it's probably nothing.
Carl: (points toward Zeenu) Well, how are we going to find Sheen? That planet is so big!
Jimmy: Good (puts hand under chin) question. (pauses, thinks; puts hand down, turns around, looks at Carl) Carl, I assume if you keep bags of my hair to get into my lab, you must also keep bags of Sheen's hair, too?
Carl: (startled) What?! (pauses, looks at Cindy and Libby; Cindy and Libby look at him weird; embarrassed, pulls paper bag from behind) Yes.
Jimmy: Give it to me.
(Carl hands Jimmy the bag of Sheen's hair; Jimmy pulls out a hair and places it on the scanner)
Jimmy: This won't give us an exact location, but we can cut the planet to size this way.
(After a few seconds, the computer zeros in on a fielded area on the planet. Jimmy points at the screen)
Jimmy: Bingo. Sheen must be down there in that fielded area. (grabs steering wheel) Hang on.
(Outside, the Jimbus steers toward the planet and lands in the field. Jimmy, Carl, Cindy, and Libby climb off)
Jimmy: (carrys Hypercube) Okay, guys. (presses button, ejects 3 walkie-talkie-like devices, hands devices to everyone) We'll split up and search all areas of the planet.
Carl: (looks to side) Um, Jimmy…
Jimmy: (points to himself) Me and Goddard will head north; Cindy, you go west; Libby, east…
Carl: Jimmy!
Jimmy: And, Carl, you have the south.
Carl: I don't think we need to do that.
Jimmy: (confused) Why?
(Carl points off in the distance; Jimmy looks as we see Sheen riding across on a huge lizard creature behind a beautiful, blue woman, smiling and laughing. Libby notices, too, and becomes furious)
Libby: SHEEN!
(Sheen and the blue woman become startled and fall off. Jimmy, Carl, Cindy, and Libby run over to them)
Libby: This better not be what it looks like!
Carl: You mean Sheen riding on the back of an alien monster next to a beautiful, blue woman?
Sheen: Nope. That pretty much sums it up.
(Sheen and the blue woman stand up and brush themselves off. Libby scowls at Sheen)
Blue woman: (hold out hand to Libby) My name is Aseefa of the Glimmorians. And you are?
Libby: (grabs Sheen's arm) Libby Folbax, (starts pulling Sheen away) and I'm taking my boyfriend away for a LONG talk!
Sheen: Whoa, (pulls arm away) hold on there, Mrs. Libby! I'd think I'd remember dating a girl as pretty as you. (Assefa glares at him; Sheen gets confused) What? What'd I say?
Libby: (angry, crosses arms) "So you don't remember me"? Is that your game?
Assefa: (serious) He's quite serious, I assure you.
Libby: No spin the bottle? No love potion?
Sheen: Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.
Libby: (desperate) And you don't recall kicking Yoo Yee's butt in my honor?
Sheen: Yoo who?
(Libby, in her frustration, snaps and yells. She pulls her arm back, straightens her hand, and prepares to slap Sheen)
Cindy: (worried) Libby! No!
(Libby slaps Sheen so hard that it knocks him out cold. We transition a few minutes later as Sheen wakes up back in his house on Zeenu, looking right in Libby's face. Sheen feels relieved)
Sheen: Libby! Thank Goodness. (sits up) I had the craziest dream. I was on an alien planet! There was this talking monkey. And a green, blobby guy who looked like Carl and- (looks around room, notices green blobby Carl lookalike and Aseefa, worried) It wasn't a dream, was it?
Chimpanzee: Nope, (Sheen looks toward him) you're still here on Zeenu, (gestures to Aseefa) with Aseefa, (gestures to Carl lookalike) Doppy, and (gestures to himself) me, Mr. Nesmith.
Sheen: (screams, points at Mr. Nesmith) Talking monkey!
Mr. Nesmith: (annoyed) Sheen, I've told you 100 times: I'm an ape, not a monkey.
Sheen: (nervous, leans close to Libby) And it knows my name.
Jimmy: Relax, Sheen: Mr. Nesmith explained the relationship dynamics here.
Libby: (moves closer to Sheen) Look, Sheen, I'm sorry I slapped you like that earlier. I was just a little jealous of you and Aseefa.
Sheen: Who?
Aseefa: (moves closer to Sheen) Me! I'm Aseefa. Don't you remember?
Sheen: I'm… (holds head) not sure. (looks around) I remember I went to Jimmy's lab and I got in some kind of rocket, but after that, it's all fuzzy.
Carl: (smiles) Aw! Like your plush Ultra Lord?
Sheen: (nods, looks to side) Yeah… (registers Carl's words, perks up) Hey!
Mr. Nesmith: Fascinating. Perhaps when you arrived here on Zeenu and crashed into resident Dorkus's house, you damaged your cranium and suffered partial amnesia.
Jimmy: And Libby slapping him (looks at Sheen and Libby, points at them) must've helped restore his long-term memory, but at the cost of his short-term.
(We cut to Sheen, who has fallen asleep. Everyone looks at him)
Mr. Nesmith: (Jimmy and him frown) Typical of Sheen: no interest in the really important matters. (Jimmy nods his head) Although, in spite of this behavior, Sheen has proven himself to be quite useful in the past 4 months.
Jimmy: (perks up, concerned) 4 months?! But that- that's impossible! We only left Earth about 10 minutes ago!
Mr. Nesmith: (curious) Really? Then perhaps you suffered some form of time dilation. (pauses) How exactly did you get here?
Jimmy: Well, (scratches head), let's see. We were in the JimBus, just about to depart the solar system, when a wormhole opened next to Pluto. And there was an ion trail- (stops, worried, frightened) Pukin' Plutonium! Why didn't I think of it sooner?!
Cindy: (worried) What is it, Jimmy?
Jimmy: That wormhole: it must have sucked us into the future!
(Everyone gasps)
Carl: Oh, no! (everyone looks at Carl) Thanksgiving is over! (looks down, sad) I never got my turkey legs.
Cindy: (points at Jimmy) If what you're saying is true, Neutron, then what does that mean for everyone back on Earth?
(Everyone looks up toward the sky)
Jimmy: Well, hopefully there haven't been any major crises in the past 17 weeks.
(We cut to Earth, where we see Jimmy's enemies, the Yolkians, floating above, who have somehow come face to face with the Yugopotamians, semi-antagonists from Earth 57. On the lead ships, King Gripullon of Yugopotamia talks with King Goobot V of Yolkus)
King Gripullon: Now, look, Mr. Goobot. We were here first. We, the Yugopotamians, have designated the Earth as the host planet for the most loved of all Yugopotamian holidays: the Five Days of F.L.A.R.G.!
Mark Chang: (pops out from behind) Which I (looks over shoulder) am opposed to! Earth is where I and my beloved Vick-EY live!
King Gripullon: (turn to Mark, pats shoulder with tentacle) Now, now, my son, (glares) who stowed away on our ship at the last minute. (turn back around) We will retrieve your woman before we blow up the planet (looks away) on the final day.
King Goobot V: (angry) And I'm telling you to get out of the way, so I can blow up the Earth and destroy my nemesis, Jimmy Neutron!
Queen Jipjorrulac: You would destroy an entire planet to defeat your arch-enemy?
King Gripullon: Sounds a bit unoriginal if you ask me.
King Goobot: At this point, whatever gets rid of him faster will make me happier. And I'm not going to let anyone, not even you all, stand in my way!
Queen Jipjorrulac: (grabs King Gripullon, frightened) His voice is rising! He means to fire on us! (screams)
King Gripullon: (pulls Queen Jipjorrulac's tentacles off) Fear not, my queen, for I am very skilled in the art of negotiations. (turns back to King Goobot) Now, look, Mr. Goobot, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way.
King Goobot: I agree! (to soldiers onboard) All weapons online!
(Suddenly, all the weapons on the Yolkian ships fire up and aim directly at the Yugopotamian fleet)
King Gripullon: (pauses) I guess we're doing things the hard way. (turns to soldiers aboard) Aim all weapons at the Yolkians!
(The Yugopotamian ships all aim their weapons at the Yolkians)
King Goobot: (sits up in seat, points) OPEN FIRE!
(The Yolkians and Yugopotamians start firing at each other; in the background, we can hear Dark Danny laughing as he watches everything unfold. We cut to the Far Frozen, a realm within the Ghost Zone. We zoom in as we see Frostbite, a yeti-like ghost and leader of the area, saying goodbye to Danny Phantom and his family and friends)
Frostbite: Well, Danny Phantom, I hope you and your family had a pleasant stay here in the Realm of the Far Frozen. We hope you will come back and visit sometime.
Danny's Mom: (shivering, rubbing her arms, forces smile) Oh, don't worry. We'll make sure to come back, (looks away, mumbles under breath) when it's summertime.
Danny's Dad: (climbing in Specter Speeder) Is everybody ready to go?
Jazz: (runs out of cave) Uh, guys?! (Danny and his parents look behind them) We have a situation with Tucker.
Danny: Ugh. (looks at his parents) You guys get in; (looks toward cave) I'll take care of this.
(Danny runs into the cave, where we see Tucker with his tongue stuck to the wall, struggling to pull free safely, and Sam, Danny's girlfriend, chuckling. Danny walks up to Tucker, confused)
Danny: Tucker! What are you doing?! You know that everything here is snow and ice.
Tucker: (tongue stuck to wall) I was just trying to imagine that I was somewhere like the desert and-
Danny: I can't understand a word you're saying!
Sam: He was trying to imagine he was somewhere warm like the desert. (glances at Tucker, gestures with thumb) The next thing he knew, he hallucinated the wall was rocky road ice cream.
Tucker: (tongue stuck to wall, annoyed) It could have happened to anyone! (waves arms, angry) Just please just thaw me out already!
Danny: (laughs, powers up finger) Alright, hold still.
Tucker: (panics) Uh, on second thought, I could get used to-
(Danny shoots a ghost ray at the wall, thawing out Tucker's tongue instantly and blasting him back. Tucker sits up, his glasses knocked off and broken)
Tucker: (groans; annoyed) Is that any way to treat your mayor?
Danny: Remind me again (walks toward Tucker) why you became mayor of Amity Park.
Tucker: Just trying to do my part for society. (grabs Danny's hand off-screen) I helped save the world, too. (stands up off-screen)
(We cut back to the Specter Speeder, with all the kids outside)
Danny's Dad: Okay, NOW, is everybody ready to go home?!
Norm: (off-screen) Oh, you're going somewhere, alright, (everyone looks at Norm confused) but you're not going home.
(Danny's parents pull out their weapons to try and take out Norm)
Norm: (hands up) Hey! Whoa! Ease up on the tension, guys! (relaxes) I don't want any trouble; (raises hand) I just need to borrow something. (snaps fingers)
(A thin, puffy, light blue cloud with the word "GONG!" across it flashes over Sam, Tucker, and Jazz. Suddenly, a huge snowball runs into them and rams them into a wall; the snowball turns into a wrecking ball and traps them inside, startling Danny and everyone else. Norm levitates the ball while Sam, Tucker, and Jazz panic inside it)
Norm: (smiles devilishly) And by that, I mean kidnap your loved ones! (chuckles)
(Danny looks at the ball, frightened; then, he looks up at Norm and gathers his courage)
Danny: Okay! I'm…(raises arms, closes eyes) GOING GHOST! (pauses, opens eyes; lowers arms, embarrassed) Oh, right. (pauses, looks at Norm) Well, then,... I'm… (closes eyes, raises arms) going to get you!
(Danny flies toward Norm with everyone else watching, and shoots a ghost ray at him; the ray hits Norm and knocks him toward a rock floating behind him; the ball with Sam, Tucker, and Jazz inside floats in space. Norm uses his tail to push away from the rock and zooms toward Danny, laughing. Danny takes a deep breath and tries to use freeze breath to stop Norm, but Norm conjures a flamethrower in his hands and counteracts it. Danny runs out of breath and pauses for a moment just as Norm turns the flamethrower into a boxing-glove launcher, which causes Danny to gasp, and uses it to punch Danny in the face. Danny flies backward and slams into the back wall; Danny struggles back to his feet as Norm lifts the ball with Sam, Tucker, and Jazz with his magic)
Norm: I haven't had this much fun in YEARS; I think I actually like serving a master for once; (grabs ball by chain) Too bad I'll be leaving soon. (raises hand) See you soon, Phantom.
(Norm snaps his fingers and disappears in a thin, puffy, light blue cloud with the word "GONG! across it along with the ball with Sam, Tucker, and Jazz inside. Danny stands up and groans; he turns to his parents, who all gather around him)
Danny's Mom: Danny! Are you okay?! (looks up where Norm was) Who was that?!
Danny: I don't know! (Danny's Mom looks at him) He looked like Desiree, but more masculine!
Danny's Mom: Who's Desiree?
Frostbite: A wish-granting (Danny and his mom look up at him) ghost, notorious for creating chaos all across the Earthly Plane. Although, I suspect whoever took your friends, Danny, is (rubs chin) much craftier.
Danny's Dad: (in Specter Speeder) Get in the Speeder, you two: we've gotta track down those kids stat!
(Danny and his mom run inside the Specter Speeder and rush off into the Ghost Zone; as they fly across the screen, we transition back to Bikini Bottom, where we see SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs, all in water helmets, standing in front of Sandy's treedome, currently shielded by metal plating. SpongeBob knocks on the door. Sandy opens the door, wearing her suit and helmet)
Sandy: What took y'all so long? (gently quickly pulls SpongeBob inside) Get inside!
(Everyone rushes after them as the door closes shut. We notice a lot of different equipment on different tables as the camera focuses and pans across them)
Squidward: (off-screen) You've, uh,… got a very interesting taste in decor.
Sandy: (cut back to everyone else) Why, thank ya, Squidy.
Squidward: (annoyed, deadpan) That wasn't a compliment.
SpongeBob: What is all this, Sandy?
Sandy: Well, I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with King Neptune. And after a lot of rustle and tussle, I done figured it out! Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
(SpongeBob and Patrick ask for the good news each in their own way)
Sandy: (turns to table) I've analyzed some hair samples from King Neptune: (picks up one with tweezers) one from 8 months ago, (points at SpongeBob) just before you became manager, (picks up another with another pair of tweezers) and this one from just 3 weeks ago. You have no idea how hard it was to get these. (puts hairs under microscope) Not only does the newer one show signs of genetic replication, (cut to microscope point of view, see Neptune and SpongeBob DNA) but there are patterns that match up with SpongeBob's DNA.
Patrick: (cut to Patrick) What does that mean?
Sandy: It means that someone used SpongeBob's AND King Neptune's DNA to make a clone of them.
SpongeBob: Why would anyone do that?
Mr. Krabs: Why else? (walks up to SpongBob; everyone looks at him) Neptune's king of the sea, and you like to work for nothing. Put together, they make the perfect patsy.
Squidward: How is that good news?
Sandy: Since he's a clone, I can invent a machine that'll destabilize his DNA.
Patrick: What's the bad news?
Sandy: Unfortunately, it'll take 3 months to finish somethin' like that.
SpongeBob: (worried) But we don't have 3 months.
Sandy: I'm well aware of that, SpongeBob, (walks next to tree) and I've come up with a backup plan. (knocks on tree; side of tree lowers, revealing control panel)
SpongeBob: (walks up to Sandy) Ooo!
Sandy: I cobbled together some of the spare parts from (looks at SpongeBob, frowns) my old rocketship… (SpongeBob giggles in embarrassment; looks back at controls) …and turned my exercise wheel into an interdimensional portal.
(Sandy pulls a lever; a swirling purple vortex opens up on the side of the wheel. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs look in awe, while Squidward look unimpressed)
Sandy: We'll jump to another universe for a while, finish my invention, then come back and take care of the Neptune clone.
Mr. Krab: Er,... okay.
SpongeBob: Sounds good to me.
Patrick: Let's do it!
Squidward: There is no way I'm going in (crosses arms) there with you guys!
(Everyone looks at Squidward, disappointed)
SpongeBob: Oh, come on, Squidward…
Squidward: No, SpongeBob. (turns away, walks toward door) I'd rather take my chances with the Neptune Clone.
(Suddenly, the entire Treedome explodes, with the Neptune Clone floating over SpongeBob and his friends. Squidward looks up, frightened, and gulps)
SpongeBob: (panicky, begging stance) Sandy! Hurry! He's here!
(Sandy fiddles with the controls; a screen on the console reads Earth 69. The Neptune clone, who looks crazier than before, aims King Neptune's trident at Squidward; Squidward shouts and runs back toward the portal on the exercise wheel)
Squidward: (screams) Squids first! (jumps through portal)
(Patrick and Mr. Krabs run to the portal with SpongeBob gesturing them inside)
SpongeBob: Come on, guys! (Sandy jumps in; jumps in after Sandy)
(The Neptune clone grunts as a beam of light from the trident hits the portal on the exercise wheel; the portal explodes. We cut to Zeenu, where SpongeBob flies out of the portal, spinning. A few sparks of fire fly out from behind him as the portal closes shut. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy stand up, now in 3-dimensional form, as Mr. Krabs, already standing, starts laughing uproariously)
SpongeBob: What's so funny, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: (smiles from ear to ear) I thought Squidward was hard to look at before, (points off-screen) but just look at him!
(We cut to Squidward, who looks the same, but 3-dimensional. We then cut to Patrick, who starts to laugh, too, while SpongeBob takes a look at everyone and himself)
Patrick: (chuckles) He's right, SpongeBob. He looks kinda funny.
Sandy: (looks at SpongeBob; confused, curious) What's the matter, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: (looks at 5th finger on hand) This seems familiar. (eyes widen) I've been here before! And that means-
(SpongeBob looks to the side and sees Jimmy, Sheen, and their friends walking across the field. SpongeBob gasps and gets excited)
SpongeBob: (happy, yells) Jimmy!
(Jimmy, Sheen and their friends look around and notice SpongeBob and his friends. Jimmy and Cindy are shocked and confused)
Jimmy: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: (runs toward Jimmy) Jimmy!
Jimmy: SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: (hugs Jimmy) It's so good to see you!
Jimmy: (taken aback) Uh, it's good to see you, too, SpongeBob.
Sheen: (looks at Carl, Cindy, and Libby) Jimmy knows this guy?
Cindy: (smiles) Yeah, (walks toward SpongeBob) so do I. (holds out hand to SpongeBob) Good to see you, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Cindy! (shakes Cindy's hand) Wow! You look great.
Cindy: (confused, lets go of SpongeBob's hand) I look the same as before.
SpongeBob: Yeah, I know.
Jimmy: (Cindy and him step back; gestures to SpongeBob and his friends) This is SpongeBob SquarePants from Earth 56. These are his friends, Patrick (Patrick looks around, confused), Sandy (Sandy takes off her helmet slowly), Squidward (Squidward crosses his arms and frowns) and his boss, Mr. Krabs. (Mr. Krabs puts his hands on his hips; gestures to himself) And for those who don't know, I'm Jimmy Neutron, and (gestures to friends) these are my friends Carl, Sheen, Libby-
Cindy: (butts in) And Cindy, his girlfriend!
Sandy: (walks toward Cindy) Shee-oot! (shakes Cindy's hand) Congratulations, you two!
Cindy: Uh, thanks.
Libby: Hey, how come (points at Sandy) your voice sounds so much (points at Cindy) like hers? I mean, you're…
Sandy: A squirrel? (stops shaking Cindy's hand, pauses) I'm really not sure.
(We cut to Carl, who is trying keep his distance from Mr. Krabs, while Mr. Krabs tries to shake his hand)
Mr. Krabs: Hello. (tries to step closer) I'm Mr. Krabs. (tries to step closer again; Carl steps back) I like money.
Carl: Carl Wheezer. And I'm allergic to shellfish.
(We cut Sheen and Patrick)
Patrick: Wow. This is a nice home you've got here.
Sheen: Oh, this isn't our home; home's back on Earth.
Squidward: Then, where are we?
Mr. Nesmith: We are all on the planet Zeenu, just over 4 billion lightyears from Earth.
(Everyone, including SpongeBob and his friends, looks at Mr. Nesmith, Aseefa, and Doppy)
SpongeBob: Who are those guys?
Sheen: Oh, those are some of MY friends: (points at Mr. Nesmith) Mr. Nesmith (Mr. Nesmith rolls his eyes; points at Aseefa) Aseefa, (Aseefa waves, points at Doppy; Doppy is seen sliding away from the group) and- Hey Doppy! Where're you going?!
Doppy: (stops next to rock, turns around) Oh, well, it's past my curfew and I don't want my parents to start getting worried. (waves) So, I'll see you guys later. (turns around, knocks over rock; looks at timer under rock) Hey, guys! Look what I found.
(Everyone walks over to the timer, which shows 5 min. counting down. Jimmy kneels down to get a closer look)
SpongeBob: What is that?
Sheen: Looks like one of those clocks on a microwave. Hey, maybe we can make some popcorn with it.
Patrick: Oh, I love popcorn.
Carl: Me, too.
Jimmy: That's not a microwave, guys; that's a timer. (turns around, puts hand to mouth) Goddard! (Goddard walks next to the timer; point) Laser.
(Goddard barks and shoots a laser from his eyes to cut around the timer. Jimmy picks up the timer revealing a red, blue, and yellow wire)
Jimmy: Hmm… if I can somehow reset the timer…
Sandy: (walks up to Jimmy) Maybe I can help.
Jimmy: (looks up at Sandy) Are you an expert at electro-mechanical engineering?
Sandy: (grabs yellow wire) Just watch me! (pulls out the yellow wire)
(The timer resets, now saying 3:00:00)
Jimmy: (looks at timer) 3 hours? (looks to side) Strange. That's as long as we've been here on- (pauses, thinks) Holy Heisenburg! It all makes sense now!
Libby: (curious) What does?
Jimmy: (counts on fingers) The rocket in my lab, the wormhole by Pluto, a hidden timer-
Cindy: (gesturing) Neutron, calm down! What are you trying to say?
Jimmy: This isn't a planet, it's a time bomb in disguise!
Aseefa: What?!
Mr. Nesmith: That's impossible! I arrived here on Zeenu 40 years ago!
Jimmy: (points at Mr. Nesmith) That's what you think! (looks at his and SpongeBob friends) Someone from Dimmsdale invaded our universe, conjured Zeenu and everything on it, and planted a rocket in my lab, all to separate us from our homes!
Squidward: Dimmsdale?
Cindy: Yeah, we (SpongeBob looks at her) picked up some strange radiation before we landed here.
SpongeBob: (looks at Jimmy) But who would want to get rid of (points) you?
Carl: Yeah, you've only been to Dimmsdale… (pauses, counts on fingers; holds up 3 fingers) …3 times.
Jimmy: Actually, 4. (thinks; Patrick walks over next to timer; shakes head) Let's get out of here first before something else happens.
Patrick: Wait, Jimmy! (everyone turns around) You forgot (picks up timer) your alarm clock. (grabs yellow wire) Here, I'll fix it.
SpongeBob: (panics) Patrick! NO!
(Patrick plugs the yellow wire into the red wire. Suddenly, the timer starts counting down at an incredible rate. Jimmy panics)
Jimmy: (yells) Ah! We have less than a minute to get out of here!
(Jimmy, SpongeBob, and their friends run to the JimBus and climb on. The JimBus flies out into space as Mr. Nesmith, Aseefa, and Doppy watch; Zeenu explodes. We transition several hours later as the Jimbus heads back to Earth. We cut inside as we see Jimmy spraying SpongeBob's friends, minus Sandy, all without their water helmets with his Neutronic Moisture Sealant Formula from the original 2005 game)
Jimmy: (moves can all around) There. That's the last of it. (lowers can) My Neutronic Moisture Sealant Formula should eliminate the need for those bulky water helmets. (walks back to front)
Mr. Krabs: Thanks, son.
Jimmy: I'm beginning to sense a pattern here
Sandy: What pattern?
JImmy: 2 conspiracies coming to a head on the exact same day, ultimately separating us from our homes. Our LIVES! It can't be a coincidence.
Cindy: Do you have ANY ideas, Jimmy?
Jimmy: A few, (adjusts controls on dashboard) but I won't be able to sort them out more until we get back to my lab and connect with VOX.
(Off in the distance, we hear faint laser blasts and explosions)
Patrick: (looks out window) Wow! (Libby perks up) Fireworks.
(Libby turns around and looks at Earth and becomes concerned. Libby gasps. We cut to Earth and see the Yolkian-Yugopotamian war has gotten worse. Several lasers, missiles, and ships fall to Earth and explode. Everyone on the JimBus gasps and becomes terrified)
Sheen: Our homes! All gone!
Carl: And the rest of the world is, too!
Jimmy: (turns to Goddard) Goddard, try to establish a connection with VOX!
(Goddard opens up the screen under his neck and tries to connect to VOX; unfortunately, he is unsuccessful)
Jimmy: This doesn't look good.
(Libby looks at Cindy, who looks at the ships strangely)
Libby: Is something wrong, girl?
Cindy: (points at ships) Those ships look familiar. (pauses; perks up) I know! They're Yugopotamians (Jimmy perks up and looks at her) from Timmy's universe. He described them so vividly.
Jimmy: Wait a minute! How do you know all this?
Cindy: (looks at Jimmy) I dated him once, remember?
Jimmy: (frowns) Oh, right.
SpongeBob: If they came from Timmy's universe, maybe we should go talk to him about it.
Jimmy: (smiles) Of course! (walks to front of JimBus) Why didn't I think of that before? (picks up Hypercube, activates it) It's in here somewhere. (pauses) Ah- (pulls out small blue cube) -ha! One of my Porta-Portals.
(Jimmy walks over to the hatch to throw the Porta-Portal in front of the JimBus. Sandy panics)
Sandy: Wait! Don't open the hatch now! There's no air in-
(Jimmy opens the hatch; everyone is still able to breathe, much to Sandy's surprise)
Sandy: -space?
Jimmy: (looks at Sandy) Maybe not in your universe, (looks away) but here on Earth 69, there's minimal oxygen and heat, (tosses Porta-Portal in front of JimBus) enough for an extended trip through outer regions of space, (the Porta-Portal opens up and floats in space) but nothing more. (closes the hatch) Now, hang tight. This could get tricky. (pushes button on dashboard)
(The JimBus slowly moves forward and enters the portal. Outside, Jimmy's 3-D Earth transforms into Timmy's 2-D Earth, with the continents facing different directions. The JimBus, and everyone on it transforms into a Fairly OddParents style look as the Porta-Potral closes behind them; SpongeBob's friends, being the only ones who've never been here, look at themselves in awe)
Jimmy: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Earth 57.
(The JimBus flies toward Earth; SpongeBob looks out at Fairy World out in the distance and gets excited)
SpongeBob: Hey, Jimmy! Look! It's Fairy World! (waves) We should say hello!
Jimmy: (looks out window at Fairy World; confused, shocked) What?! That's impossible! The Fairy World simulation is nothing more than a big computer game! There's no way it could achieve lunar-style orbit! (looks toward windshield, rubs chin) Hmmm,... I'm going to have to check into that.
(The JimBus approaches Dimmsdale; it's still nighttime. We cut to Timmy Turner's street as the JimBus lands in front of the pathway to his house. The hatch opens as SpongeBob and Jimmy step out with the Hypercube)
Jimmy: SpongeBob, climb into my Hypercube; (SpongeBob nods and climbs into Hypercube; looks at the others) The rest of you guys stay here and guard the JimBus.
Patrick: Right.
(Jimmy walks up to the front door and rings the doorbell. Timmy's Dad opens the door, in a robe, nightmask, and curlers, repulsing Jimmy a bit)
Jimmy: (clears throat) Uh, excuse me, Mr. Turner. I-
Timmy's Dad: Timmy? What are you doing out at this time of night? And why are you wearing one of your reality avoidance costumes? I thought that nice Dr. B. Yorselv took care of that.
Jimmy: Right, (runs inside Timmy's house, stops by stairs) "Dad". (looks around) I was just out, uhhh…, buying a present foooor… Mom's birthday?
Timmy's Dad: Oh-hoo-hoo! Is that tomorrow?! (zooms off-screen; zooms back on-screen, fully dressed) I better get busy! (opens door) Bye, son! (steps out) See you after the sunrise! (closes door)
Jimmy: (turns around) It's a good thing Turner's parents are idiots. (runs upstairs, gets tired) I don't remember there being so many stairs.
(We cut to Timmy's room, where we see Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke, back in their regular clothes, looking all over the room)
Wanda: (throws blankets off bed) He's not under the blankets! (flies over to closet, opens door; "Crimson Chin" comic books fall on floor; looks in closet) He's not in the closet!
Cosmo: (eats bag of cheese pants) He's not in this bag of cheese pants. (drinks bottle of fizzy soda, burps) He's not in this bottle of fizzy soda. (eats chocolate bar) He's not this candy wrapper.
(Jimmy runs in the room and closes the door. SpongeBob climbs out of the Hypercube)
SpongeBob: Whew! Sure is roomy in there.
(Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke turn around and see Jimmy and SpongeBob)
Cosmo: SpongeBob!
Wanda: Jimmy!
SpongeBob: Cosmo!
Jimmy: Wanda!
Zeke: POOF! POOF!
SpongeBob: Oh, (walks up to Zeke) who's this? (tickles Zeke's chin; Zeke giggles)
Cosmo: This is Zeke, our son.
JImmy: (walks over, shocked) What?! How could you 2 have a- (shakes head, waves hands) Never mind. (looks at Cosmo and Wanda) Listen, this is very important; we need to talk to Timmy!
Wanda: Oh, I wish we could help you, Jimmy; we haven't seen Timmy in hours!
Cosmo: Yeah! And he's the only one who can stop the Fairy civil war!
SpongeBob: There's a war on Fairy World?
Wanda: Yes! And unless we stop it, it could spread to the Earth!
Cosmo: And the rest of the universe, too!
Jimmy: That settles it!
SpongeBob: Settles what?
Jimmy: (turns around) The odds of 3 crises happening in all 3 of our worlds at once are approximately 780 quadrillion to 1. And yet, (points toward window) it's happening right now as we speak.
Cosmo: Wow. That's a really big number!
Zeke: (waves arms) Poof, poof! (SpongeBob looks at him) Poof, poof!
SpongeBob: What's he saying?
Wanda: He said, "Who would want to target all of us?"
Jimmy: Who do you think: the Evil Syndicate!
SpongeBob: The Syndicate?! It's back?!
Jimmy: It's the only explanation we've got.
Wanda: Well, if it's true, then, that means they kidnapped Timmy, too!
Jimmy: Which makes finding him our first priority.
SpongeBob: But how are we going to find him?
Cosmo: Yeah, there are so many universes , and they're all bigger than… than… this room! (Wanda looks at him and frowns, unimpressed)
Jimmy: (rubs chin) Hmm… I've got it! (gestures with arm) Follow me.
(We transition back to the JimBus, where we see Jimmy connecting wires from another Porta-Portal, Goddard, and the JimBus)
Jimmy: By plugging in Goddard's processor into the dashboard on the JimBus (twists wires), connecting them to the Porta-Portal's internal quantum-fluctuation computer (pushes wires in back of Porta-Portal; holds up one of Timmy's hats, pulls out brown hair) and using a hair follicle from one of Timmy's pink hats, (places hair on scanner) I can rig a Multidimensional DNA tracker. (steps back) Voilá!
Cindy: Brilliant work, Jimmy!
(After a few moments, the scanner beeps, causing Goddard to bark. The computer on the JimBus zeros in on Earth 56)
Jimmy: Bingo! He's on Earth 56.
Sandy: That's our home! (the computer pulls up an image of the Nowhere Dimension, Squidward perks up; disappointed) That's not our home.
Squidward: No, but I've been there before. (everyone looks at him; walks up front) It's some kind of nowhere place! I got stuck there once after I got lost time traveling.
Mr. Krabs: Wait a minute! When did YOU go time traveling?
Squidward: I have my secrets.
Jimmy: He's right; it's some kind of a pocket dimension back in your universe. (looks at screen) I'm picking up a few lifeform readings… and one of them matches Timmy!
Zeke: Poof! Poof!
(Spongebob, Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke all get on the JimBus as Jimmy disconnects Goddard and the Porta-Portal. Jimmy tosses the Porta-Portal in front of the JimBus, climbs in, and closes the hatch)
Jimmy: Hold on, everyone; we're going to the Nowhere Dimension.
(The JimBus floats up and hovers through the Porta-Portal; the JimBus flies into a large hallway. It lands. The hatch opens and everyone starts to climb out, all bearing a SpongeBob-style appearance)
Sheen: (looks at hands) Another day, another hour of weirdness.
Jimmy: Alright, remember, we're all looking for Timmy Turner. Blue eyes, pink clothes, buck teeth. (everyone stares at Jimmy) Now, we'll divide into 3 groups: SpongeBob's friends will go (points to corridor on left side) that way, my friends will go (points behind the JimBus) that way; And everyone else will stay with me. Got it?
Cosmo: Come on! Let's find Timmy!
(All three groups spread out in search of Timmy. We cut to SpongeBob's friends as they walk past a narrow, intersecting hallway, in the order of Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Patrick. Patrick falls on his face; he gets back up and scurries back to the rest. As Parick leaves, we see Norm's silhouette pop up from the bottom of the screen. We transition to Jimmy's team as they continue to walk straight ahead of the JimBus. Jimmy is holding out his watch, scanning for Timmy)
SpongeBob: You found anything yet, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Not yet.
Wanda: (stops, sparks emanate from head) My "Timmy's in trouble" sense is tingling! (points straight ahead) This way!
(Jimmy, SpongeBob, and the rest of the group follow Wanda further down the corridor; they stop in front of a steel doorway)
Wanda: (points) In here!
Cosmo: How do we get in?
Jimmy: There's always the direct approach.
(Jimmy fiddles with his watch and shoots a laser at the door, cutting it down. The door drops to the floor; inside, Timmy, still strapped to a stainless steel table, is startled)
Wanda: (flies in) Timmy!
Cosmo: (flies in) We found you!
Zeke: (flies in) Poof! Poof!
Timmy: (confused) Who are you guys?
Wanda: (confused, smiles) Well, don't you remember?
Cosmo: I'm Cosmo!
Wanda: And I'm Wanda! (Zeke flies close) And Zeke, our son.
Cosmo and Wanda: And we're... (conjure magical stage) your fairy godparents!
Timmy: I've never seen any of you before in my life.
Zeke: Poof, poof?
Jimmy: What about one of your best friends, Jimmy Neutron? From another universe?
SpongeBob: Couldn't forget my face, could you?
Timmy: Uhhhh…
Jimmy: (looks closely at Timmy) Somethings wrong. He looks dizzy and exhausted. (leans back, puts hands on hips) As if he's been exposed to a very dangerous, foreign chemical substance. Unfortunately, I left most of my chemical analysis equipment back in my lab.
SpongeBob: What do we do now, Jimmy?
Jimmy: (looks at SpongeBob) Well, a (Goddard pulls out a headband with a pair of wiggly antennae) lie-detector test should determine the extent of the damage to his memory.
(Goddard places the antennae on Timmy's head, opens up his screen under his neck, and activates his lie detector drive)
Jimmy: Do the names Cosmo or Wanda mean anything to you?
Timmy: I don't know. Should they?
(The polygraph on the screen glows green while displaying the word "TRUE")
Jimmy: Hmmm… Well, have you ever heard of a town called Retroville?
Timmy: No. (pauses) But it sounds cool.
(The polygraph on the screen glows green while displaying the word "TRUE" again)
SpongeBob: (butts in) What did I have for breakfast this morning?
Timmy: I don't know. How am I supposed to know that?
(Once again, the polygraph on the screen glows green while displaying the word "TRUE". Goddard prints out the results of the lie detector test. Jimmy grabs the paper and looks at it, confused)
Wanda: SpongeBob! You wasted the last question!
SpongeBob: Sorry.
Jimmy: This doesn't make any sense! The test results show that Timmy is telling the truth!
Wanda: But- we've known Timmy for years!
Cosmo: Someone must've erased Timmy's memory!
Timmy: (pauses) That would explain a lot. Ow! Including this headache I've got!
SpongeBob: (everyone looks at Timmy) But who would erase Timmy's memory?
Dark Danny: (off-screen) Oh, (everyone is startled) I would be happy to explain that. (everyone turns around and looks at him; cut to him, floating) That is,... if you're willing to (multiplies into seven) sit still and listen.
(Everybody gasps as the Dark Danny duplicates zap them, knocking them unconscious. We fade to black. Jimmy opens his eyes and sees Dark Danny)
Dark Danny: Hello. Hello. Hello. Welcome to my secret lair.
(We zoom out and see Jimmy, SpongeBob, and Timmy all strapped to stainless steel tables leaning against each other. Up above them, Cosmo, Wanda, and Zeke are trapped in an iron butterfly net bolted to the ceiling. Over on a table nearby, Goddard is strapped to a stainless steel table, laying flat. Across the room is a huge computer monitor. Dark Danny is floating in front of Jimmy, while Norm is across the room as well)
Jimmy: Danny? Is that you?
Dark Danny: Once upon a time, I was,... but that was a lifetime ago. (floats away)
Jimmy: A lifetime? Then, you're from the future!
Norm: Ah, you (Jimmy looks in direction of Norm's voice) geniuses are all alike: perceptive to everything, but life itself.
Wanda: Norm?!
Cosmo: (points) What's he doing here?!
Norm: (floats up to butterfly net) Well, let's see: (turns around, pretends to lean with elbow) is it A- running a bake sale, B- helping this clown with his evil plot, or C- (perks up) Oh, wait. (looks behind him) Never mind. (turns around) It's obviously B!
SpongeBob: Are you working for the Evil Syndicate?
Dark Danny: No, but they were a big inspiration for us. Except we've done things better.
Jimmy: What are you talking about?
(Dark Danny snaps his fingers and Norm starts adjusting the controls on the computer. Suddenly, 7 huge spot-like screens appear in front of everyone. One in front of Jimmy shows Dark Danny and Norm conjuring the one-man rocket in Jimmy's lab. One in front of SpongeBob shows Dark Danny and Norm using the cloning device to clone King Neptune. One shows Dark Danny arranging several babies to be present near Cosmo and Wanda, inspiring the birth of Poof. One screen shows Dark Danny wishing for Timmy's most dangerous enemy, a black hole called the Darkness. One shows the birth of Foop, Zeke's anti-fairy counterpart. One shows Dark Danny supplying Foop with documentation of Timmy's secret wish in Fairy Court. And finally, the last one shows Dark Danny overshadowing Jorgen. Everyone is shocked by what they see)
Dark Danny: As you can see, I've been busy for the past few months. (floats up to butterfly net) Your world proved to be the most resistant to my influence, (Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof look at each other) but eventually, it fell flat on its face like the rest.
Wanda: But we were in a time loop! (Dark Danny flies away) How did you do (Dark Danny looks behind him next to Norm) all this?
(Norm conjures a newspaper called "Wand Street Journal", with a headline that reads "Timmy Turner the worst Fairy Godkid ever?!" with a picture of him in Fairy Court)
Norm: The "Wand Street Journal" isn't as reliable as you might think.
Cosmo: You monster!
SpongeBob: But why? We've never done anything to you.
Jimmy: SpongeBob's right! What interest could you possibly have in our dimensions?
Dark Danny: It's not your dimensions I'm particularly interested in; it's my own.
Norm: It'll all make sense once our guest of honor arrives. (raises hand)
(Norm snaps his fingers and Jimmy, Timmy, SpongeBob, and the rest are surrounded by a dark blue cloud as it fills the screen. The cloud dissipates as we transition to Danny's house back in Amity Park on Earth 20. We cut to the Fenton laboratory, where we see Danny's Dad staring at a computer with his hands over his head, looking bored and frustrated. Danny, in his human form, walks up behind him)
Danny: Hey, Dad. How's it coming?
Danny's Dad: No different than the last time you asked. (gestures to computer screen) The computer is still trying to process your friend Frostbite's data on whoever that was that kidnapped Jasmine and your friends. It could take days to upload it to (gestures to Fenton Portal) our ghost portal!
Danny: (upset) We don't have days! For all we know, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz could only have hours left!
Danny's Dad: (angry, shouts) Would you just be patient, Danny?! Your mother and I created Fenton Works for hunting ghosts, not human search and rescue! (Danny becomes startled and takes a step back; calms down, nervous) I'm sorry I snapped like that, Danny; it's just when anyone I care about is in danger, I-
Danny: I know, Dad. I know.
(Danny walks over to his Mom, who is working with a miniature arc welder)
Danny: What are you working on, Mom?
Danny's Mom: (stops) Well, you're going to need a way to find Sam and the others, right?
Danny: Uh, yeah?
Danny's Mom: So, I've modified the booo-merang to track human DNA instead of ghostly ecto-signatures.
Danny: (smiles) Hey, that's not bad!
Danny's Mom: I'm calling it… (holds up a red and gray, metallic boomerang) …the human-rang! (laughs, lowers human-rang) Get it?!
Danny: (unimpressed) Yeah, I got it, Mom.
(Suddenly, the computer finishes processing Frostbite's data and pings. Danny's Dad stands up, excited)
Danny's Dad: Eureka! (the Fenton Portal opens) I've used the data on the kidnapper to reprogram the portal; now instead of busting open the wall into the ghost dimension, it'll bust open walls into other dimensions, particularly the one where that hippie-dippy creep fled, too. (pauses) Either that, or it could be a dominion of death and misery. I have been wrong before.
Danny: In that case, (goes ghost) I better go alone.
(Danny walks over to a table and starts packing the Specter Deflector belt, Ghost Gauntlets, Fenton Crammer shrink ray, and Fenton Ghost Peeler. Danny's parents walk up to him)
Danny's Mom: Are you sure about that? You know we haven't kicked (pulls hood over head) any butt in a while. (activates lasers in jumpsuit) And we love to kick butt! (dances around) HI-YA! (blasts hole in wall)
Danny's Dad: (smiles, looks at Danny's Mom) Man! That's hot!
Danny: (closes backpack) No, guys. (puts backpack on) I might be able to handle it if I lost Jazz, Sam, and Tucker, but I can't lose you guys, too. (grabs human-rang) This is something I've got to do myself. (stuffs human-rang in backpack)
Danny's Dad: (smiles) Danny, you've just about moved me to tears. (tears up) I'm proud of you.
Danny"s Mom: But (lasers retract) in case you don't come back, (rummages through pocket) we want you to (pulls out photo) take this. (Danny grabs the photo and looks at it; cut to photo of Danny's family and friends) Team Phantom.
Danny: (smiles, looks at his mom) Team Phantom.
(Danny stuffs the picture in his backpack and jumps through the portal. Danny's Dad pulls the lever to close the portal. We cut to Dark Danny's lair, where the other end of the portal is open in a corridor. Danny flies out and lands on his feet as his end of the portal closes. Danny looks around and notices everything is drawn SpongeBob-style)
Danny: (looks at arm) SpongeBob. (puts arms down; glares, deadpan) Why am I not surprised? (rummages through backpack, pulls out human-rang) Alright, you weirdly-named tracking device. (rears back) Do your thing.
(Danny throws the human-rang, which unbeknownst to him, is caught by Dark Danny's hand. The human-rang and Dark Danny's hand disappear off-screen. Danny flies down the corridor in the direction he threw the human-rang)
Danny: Heeeeeere, human-rang. (grimaces) Ah, man, I really sound like an idiot.
Norm: (off-screen) You're about (Danny stops and looks around) to look like one, too.
(Suddenly, Danny is surrounded in a dark blue cloud with the word "GONG!" in front and is transported in behind Dark Danny, who is looking through his backpack at the Ghost Gauntlets. Danny hovers for a moment, looking the other direction; Dark Danny uses his powers to tie him up in ectoplasmic ropes)
Dark Danny: And here, I was thinking I'd have to pay a visit to dear old Dad, (puts Ghost Gauntlets back; Danny turns around) but you've gone and saved me the trouble.
Danny: YOU?! (struggles to get free)
Dark Danny: Oh, please, Danny. Did you honestly think that I wouldn't compensate for your newfound strength after the Disasteroid incident?
Danny: (confused, shocked) The Disasteroid?! How did you-
Norm: We know everything about you, Danny. We've been (Danny looks at him) spying you for months now. Yes, it's a little creepy, but (gestures dramatically to himself with pointed fingers) HELLO! Supervillains!
Danny: I don't understand. (looks at Dark Danny, angry) Who is this guy? What are you doing in another universe? What have you done with my friends?!
Dark Danny: (unfazed, deadpan) At ease, soldier boy. All your questions will be answered…
(The roof below them opens up, revealing 4 tempered glass bubbles, 3 each containing Jimmy, Timmy, SpongeBob, and their friends respectively, and one containing Sam, Tucker, and Jazz. Danny looks down at them and becomes frightened)
Dark Danny: I'd be more concerned about (gestures over shoulder with open hand; 3 spot-like screens with visuals of Earth's 56, 57, and 69 appear) big problem if I were you.
Danny: (looks at screens, devastated) I don't understand. Why are you doing this?!
Dark Danny: It's like this, Danny: many years ago, I had all the power in the world; the universe was at my mercy. Next thing I know, I'm trapped in a tin can, left to perish in the Ghost Zone! I was fortunate enough to escape, but it was too late to change your present, (smiles) so I (raises eyebrows) attempted to (lowers eyebrows) change your past.
Norm: But the old man made a mistake and we both got sucked into Neutron's lab.
Jimmy: (cut to Jimmy) I thought I noticed something odd a few months ago!
Norm: (cut to Norm; dressed like Bob Ross, painting) But it turned out to be just the happy little accident (turns around, smiles) we needed.
Danny: (looks at Norm) Happy little accident?
Dark Danny: Our (Danny looks at him) discovery of the multiverse changed everything! And I realized something that day. Mainly, time travel is too merciful for revenge. I wanted to get you to willingly become the one thing you promised you never would: (pauses, smiles) me! (laughs)
Danny: Well, if that's all you wanted, then, why did you waste so much time messing with these guys?!
Norm: (no longer looks like Bob Ross) That's where (Danny looks at him) I come in. You see, back in Turner's world, I was what they called- (conjures neon sign over head; reads "Genie") -a genie. (the I and E on the sign short out) Probably more (sign disappears) powerful than Jorgen Von Strangle himself!
Dark Danny: And with that in mind, I have a proposition for you: surrender Amity Park and your powers to me, and I'll use my last genie wishes to return these (points to screens) dimensions to their original state.
Danny: And what if I don't?!
Dark Danny: Then, I'll keep toppling world after world until (screen with Earth 20 shows up; says "Earth 20" on bottom) ours, (close up of screen) Earth 20, (cut back) is the last one standing in the entire multiverse. (pauses) It's your choice: save your world or save the rest: you can't do both.
(Danny stops and looks at his friends in the bubbles. After a few moments, he turns back to Dark Danny and Norm with his head down)
Danny: You win. (closes eyes) I'll do whatever you say.
(Suddenly, everyone in the bubbles becomes scared)
Wanda: What?! Danny! No! Don't do it!
Sheen: It's not worth it!
Sandy: We'll find another way!
Danny: (looks at everyone in bubbles) I'm sorry, guys, but I have no choice; if there's any chance he'll keep his word, (looks at Dark Danny) I've gotta take it.
Dark Danny: (laughs loudly) Just as I suspected: (frowns) Your compassion outweighs your better judgment!
Danny: (looks away, annoyed) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big villain talk. (looks at Dark Danny) Can I at least say goodbye to my girlfriend?
(Dark Danny looks over his shoulder at Norm)
Norm: I've waited a few thousand years for a day like this; what's a few more minutes?
Dark Danny: (turns to Danny) You've got 1 minute.
(Dark Danny uses his powers to dissipate the ropes on Danny. He flies down to the bubble with Sam, Tucker, and Jazz; Norm pops up in front and opens a hatch on front. Danny flies in and hugs Sam)
Sam: Danny! (lets go, steps back) So, this is it, huh? After all we've been through?
Danny: Yeah, I guess it is.
Tucker: It's funny: (Danny looks at him) I always thought you'd go out fighting Skulker or somebody else.
Danny: Well, life's full of disappointments, Tuck.
Jazz: Hey. (Danny looks at her) For what it's worth, I'm proud to have fought by your side, little brother.
(Suddenly, Sam grabs him and gives him a big kiss. Then, the hatch to the bubble is opened)
Dark Danny: Alright.
(Danny is pulled away by another ectoplasmic rope)
Dark Danny: Break it up. (looks at Norm) Bring him in.
(Norm snaps his fingers and suddenly, Vlad Masters, Danny's archenemy appears. Vlad floats for a moment, confused, and looks at Norm. He perks up and transforms into his alter ego, Vlad Plasmius; he laughs, only to get tied up in an ectoplasmic rope by Dark Danny, too)
Vlad: Oh, turkish delight!
Danny: Vlad?! What're you doing here?! I thought you were self-exile in outer space. You know, the whole Disasteroid event.
Vlad: I was, Daniel! I was! For about 3 weeks.
(A flashback begins)
Vlad: (voiceover; Vlad, in front of Amity Park, jumps up and goes ghost in front of everyone) I took a calculated risk that day, revealing my secret to the world. (cut to Vlad in front of world leaders handing over the world to him) I was so certain I could protect the world from the asteroid collision, and they'd reward me the dictatorship, (cut to Vlad trying to touch the Disasteroid) that I refused to check the data I collected. I hadn't realized this one was made of Ecto-ranium. (Vlad gets hurt touching the Disasteroid and backs off)
(The flashback ends)
Vlad: (pained) After a scandal like that, I could never return to my life on Earth.
(Dark Danny messes with the Ghost Gauntlets in the background)
Danny: (aggravated) I know that, Vlad! I mean, what are you doing here with these guys?!
(Another flashback begins; Disasteroid rams into Vlad in space as he screams)
Vlad: (voiceover; Vlad spins out of control) After suffering a fatal injury from the Disasteroid, (cut to Vlad flying through space, injured) I floated through space for days on end, searching for anyone who would help me. (cut to Vlad encountering aliens) I came across some alien civilizations. Who knew that they existed in our universe? (cut to Vlad being experimented) But no matter where I (cut to Vlad fighting in a gladiator match with a sword) went, (cut to Vlad in chains in a cell) I was hurt and shunned. (door closes; cut to Vlad flying through space, looking lonely) And then, without warning, (a thin, puffy, light blue cloud with the word "GONG! across it surrounds Vlad) I was whisked away like magic, (Vlad reappears in front of Dark Danny and Norm) by these 2. (Dark Danny leans into the camera, snickering)
(The flashback ends)
Vlad: They kept me imprisoned here in their lair. (looks at body) And kept me in top physical condition.
Danny: (confused) Top physical condition? Why?
Dark Danny: Why not? (Danny and Vlad look at him; holds up Ghost Gauntlets) If you're going to do something, (razor claws spring out of Ghost Gauntlets) you might as well do it right.
Vlad: Danny, listen to me: it won't work! Daniel and I aren't the same people we were when you were born!
Danny: He's right! Even if you mix our ghost halves now, there's no guarantee we won't turn out as evil as you did.
Dark Danny: (sarcastic, hold hands to face) Oh, my! You're right.(drops hands; calms down) I'd more concerned if (looks to left at Norm) I hadn't taken that into (Norm holds up his hand and conjures a spray bottle with label "Megalomanium" on it) consideration.
Jimmy: (worried) My Megalomanium?!
Libby: (looks at Jimmy) But I thought you destroyed that.
Dark Danny: He did, but Neutron, of all people, should know that almost anything is possible (raises claws) in a multiverse.
(Dark Danny sticks both of the Ghost Gauntlets into Danny and Vlad's bodies respectively. He separates Danny and Vlad's ghost haves from their human selves. Dark Danny adjusts his grip on Danny's ghost half and shoves it into Vlad's. Vlad's ghost half opens his eyes, which have turned green and dissolves into Danny's. Danny's ghost half opens his eyes and screams as his face begins to crack; his skin turns blue, his ears become pointy, and rings of energy start to ripple out of him. Norm looks in awe)
Norm: It's… beautiful…
(Danny's ghost half stops screaming as he finishes mixing with Vlad's. The new Vlad/Danny combination looks around, worried. Norm hands Dark Danny the Megalomanium; Dark Danny disconnects the sprayer from the bottle)
Dark Danny: And now for the final touch.
(Dark Danny splashes the Megalomanium all over the Vlad/Danny combination. It squirms and groans in pain as the chemical soaks in. Suddenly, his hair starts to flame up like Dark Danny's, transforming into a younger version of him. Dark Danny drops the bottle on the ground and it breaks)
Old Dark Danny: At last. (dramatic) I-am-reborn! And that means (reaches in chest) I no longer (pulls out time medallion) have any need for this! (crushes time medallion in hand, drops pieces on floor)
Young Dark Danny: (in head, concerned) What's happening? What are these thoughts in my head?
Danny: (annoyed) Alright, I've kept my end of the deal; now you keep yours.
Old Dark Danny: (sighs; unamused) Very well. (looks at Norm) I wish that the worlds of Retroville, Dimmsdale, and Bikini Bottom would return to normal.
(Norm snaps his fingers and the spot-like screens are surrounded by a blue ameba-like shape with the word "GONG!" in front; the shape dissipates and all 3 worlds are revealed to have returned to normal. Young Dark Danny looks at the screens, then Dark Danny)
Norm: And speaking of deals, aren't you forgetting something?
Old Dark Danny: Ah, yes. (pauses) Norm... I wish you were free.
(Norm snaps his fingers. Suddenly, his lava lamp appears in a blue ameba-like shape with the word "GONG!" in front; it cracks all over and blows into smithereens)
Norm: Well, what do you know? I'm free! (conjures Canadian outfit, oogles over outfit) I can finally take that trip to Canada! (stops) Why didn't I do that last time?
Dark Danny: And with my younger self under my tutelage, I can get my future back to the way it's supposed to be.
Young Dark Danny: (off-screen) Not so fast, old man!
Old Dark Danny: (pauses; turns around, confused) What?!
(Suddenly, Young Dark Danny blasts Dark Danny in the face, causing him to fly across the Nowhere Dimension. He opens his eyes and sees Young Dark Danny speeding down toward him)
Young Dark Danny: Big mistake using the Megalomanium! (Old Dark Danny becomes worried; punches Old Dark Danny's face) It's tricky stuff. (grabs Old Dark Danny) And I'm not interested in fixing your timeline. (throws Old Dark Danny back in lair) I've got my own ideas for these universes! (flies toward Old Dark Danny)
(Old Dark Danny turns intangible and backs into the wall. Young Dark Danny tries to punch Old Dark Danny, but misses and hits the wall. Old Dark Danny sneaks up from behind and grabs Young Dark Danny from behind, startling him)
Old Dark Danny: Bad move, Jr. (zaps Young Dark Danny; Young Dark Danny hits his head on the wall) I created you for one purpose: to restore my timeline. To get me home! (shoot ectoplasmic rope at Young Dark Danny, spins Young Dark Danny around) You don't get to choose! (dissipates rope, throws Young Dark Danny in air; flies above Young Dark Danny, makes fist with both hands) You will learn respect! (slams fist on Young Dark Danny)
(Young Dark Danny falls and hits the ground hard, creating a crater and shaking all the bubbles with everyone inside. The bubbles stabilize as Young Dark Danny looks up and sees Old Dark Danny diving right at him. Young Dark Danny narrows his eyes and shoots a beam from them at Old Dark Danny. Old Dark Danny becomes startled as the beam hits him and freezes everything, but his head. Young Dark Danny moves to the side as Dark Danny, face up, falls to the ground, frozen)
Old Dark Danny: It's not fair! I haven't used my cryokinesis power in years!
Norm: I (snaps fingers, conjures open suitcase, clothes, and toiletries) better get (starts packing suitcase with magic) out of here while (closes suitcase, conjures hat) the going's good. (turns around)
Young Dark Danny: Hold it, (Norm stops) hippie! I have plans for you, too. (takes deep breath, uses Ghostly Wail)
(Young Dark Danny knocks Norm to the ground and causes the ropes binding Danny and Vlad to dissipate, causing them to fall. Everyone covers their ears as the Ghostly Wail also shatters the bubbles. Young Dark Danny stops and flies right into Norm, overshadowing him; Norm's eyes turn red as Young Dark Danny takes over and laughs)
Timmy: That can't be good.
(Young Dark Danny uses Norm's powers to lift up Old Dark Danny in front of his face. Old Dark Danny is terrified and furious)
Old Dark Danny: You can't do this to me! I made you!
Young Dark Danny: Well, I suppose we could talk about this. (pauses; Dark Danny sweats) Nah! This plan isn't really big enough for the 2 of us.
Old Dark Danny: Noooooo!
(Young Dark Danny snaps his fingers and Dark Danny disappears in a dark blue cloud with the word "GONG!" in front. Everybody is frightened)
Jazz: What happened?!
