Nicktoons Unite: Turning the Tables

8: 𝔗𝔦𝔭 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 ℑ𝔠𝔢𝔟𝔢𝔯𝔤

Jimmy POV

I clenched the communicator harder when I heard it disconnect. "I'm sorry Sandy! I need to go, thank you for your time!" I dashed through the front door of the dome and ran straight to the pineapple. So many thoughts went through my head, what happened? Is my friend alright? What's going on in this twisted town? Did Patrick go nuts? I finally arrived at the front of the house, I rushed to the home and heard more banging as I approached closer.

Timmy POV

     I arrived and quickly rush into the house. When I barged in through the doors, the first thing I see is a frying pan coming my way. Before it hit my face, Cozmo wished it away. "That was a close one!" Yelled Wanda, I focused into the darkness and I finally saw Danny. He wasn't injured thankfully but he was in his ghost mode and was flying in the air, out of Patrick's reach. "Danny!" I yelled, Danny turned to me and yelled "LOOK OUT!!". My instincts told me to duck and I did, a pot flew past me and crashed onto the metal door, closing it. The ringing of metal clashing into each other filled the room, accompanied by the pot crashing onto the ground and making more noise. We all covered our ears but Patrick seems more affected by it and started swinging what looks like a spoon?

     The metal doors opened again and there goes boy genius with his trusty gadgets. Patrick threw what I thought was a spoon towards Jimmy and it stabbed the wall right next to where Jimmy was standing, centimetres away from his face. Then I realised how sharp it was...

Danny POV

     "LOOK OUT! HE'S GOT A KNIFE!!!" I yelled to Jimmy, he dodged away from Patrick and shot a laser toward him. Not long after being shot, Patrick fell to the ground, snoring. "What the hell was that?!" Timmy yelled, Jimmy dusted off the sand from his trousers and replied "A sleeping ray, I made this with Spongebob months ago. Didn't think it would come in handy.. but looks who's wrong". Timmy came closer to him, and I did too, turning back to my normal human form as I approached the sleeping starfish. I saw the knife was still within his reach so I kicked it away, a metal clack can be heard as the knife slid across the hall.

Jimmy and Timmy both seemed agitated by the sudden attack, also I think we were all awkward because of the fight we had a few minutes ago. "Are you guys ok?" I asked, Jimmy's head tilted up, "Yeah, it's just a lot to take in. It was.. so sudden" "WHY WAS PATRICK ACTING THIS WAY?!?" Timmy suddenly interrupted. He continued, "Patrick never acted this way before. Maybe he has his moments where he went off the rail but never to the point he was going to fucking stab someone!!". Timmy was right, Patrick never acted like this, unless something was wrong.

Jimmy POV

"I didn't call you guys for this, there's something else you need to see," Fenton said, in a tone that I didn't like. It's the kind of tone people use when they found something bad. He started walking up the steps to what I'm assuming is Squarepant's bedroom, I followed including Turner. The room was dark but no too much now with the door wide open, we can just be able to see the pieces of a destroyed communicator. I moved closer to the broken device, wanting to inspect it, "that's not it" Fenton's voice echoed as he suddenly disappeared through another door. "Danny?!" Turner yelled as he approached the door and suddenly he too disappeared. I hesitantly approached the door and held tightly to the door handle. Then I saw both of them at the end of what looked like a slide. I slide down to join them.

I stood up and was blinded by the sudden lights switching on, "Jeez!" hissed Turner as he used his cap to cover his eyes. "Oops sorry, I thought I left the lights on. Gary must've switched them off again" Fenton apologised. My eyes adjusted to my surroundings and I met with a library. A library that was in absolute ruins, papers scattered on the floor, books laying everywhere and even what looks like weird slime trails? "Yeah, I think that's Gary's goo. I saw him leaving a trail just now." Fenton said when he realised I was staring at the goo in the corner. "What is it you wanted us to see?" I asked, he brought us to the other side of the room, where the most mess was. He picked up a newspaper and passed it over to me, I assumed he wanted me to read it, so I did.

The front page with the headline read 'KING NEPTUNE'S DECREE!'. I've heard of King Neptune, Squarepants talks about him a lot. He is some sort of deity based on how he describes him. I read further to see what this decree was. It wrote,

____________________
KING NEPTUNE'S DECREE!
Finally, after months of waiting, Sunday, June 14th. Neptune, himself declared war on the creatures above. Countless attacks from the creatures above have destroyed many Wonders of the Sea just like Shark Vegas that was ambushed by enemy ships last Tuesday causing an evacuation on the premises. A part of The Great Barrier of Coral is on the verge of collapsing after air creatures dumped plastic and metal waste onto the monument last weekend. King Neptune has reached out to the emperor of Atlantis, Lord Royal Highness for help on the upcoming war that is to arise. Plans are suppressed from the public for now but next Monday, Neptune and the Emperor themselves will hold a press conference with the public to discuss recent tragedies and safety guidelines that will be implemented later on.

     I slowly lowered the paper, next Monday? That's in 3 days. What does it mean they've declared war? I didn't know there was human life in this universe, Spongebob never told me! Is there another human version of us? Are they good? I felt the paper being snatched away from my hand, Turner started reading through the paper. "What the.. is this real? Is there a war going on right now?" Turner questioned, I looked up realising he was looking at me for an answer. "I-I don't know. I-I wasn't aware there even was human l-life i-in this world.." I stuttered, "Same here bud.." Danny chimed in. Then we both looked at Turner who was quiet the whole time. His eyes stared in confusion from me to Fenton, "..you guys didn't know about the Titans?"

     "What?" Fenton asked in a monotoned voice. I watched Turner's expression turn from confusion to realisation. "you guys don't know do you?!" He asked pointing a finger at us like he was accusing us of something. "Know what?!?" I asked in a louder tone, he grinned "AAHAA!! IN YOUR FACE FENTON!! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO NOT KNOW SHIT NOW?!?'".
