Toon Wars: The Final Days

Chapter 8

The next day in the Forgotten Society, Jimmy Neutron, now more relaxed than how he was prior to when he first got here, wakes up in his new palace bedroom at the highest floor near the office where Doug Funnie sits and watches over everything. As usual like any other day, Jimmy grabs his clothes, gets his watch, and gives Goddard some food in his food dish. Normally he'd give him new lugnuts, or actual dog biscuits since he retrofitted him with a built-in digestion system. But instead, he gave him an actual bone he got from someone named Mandy on his way back last night. She said she got it from a certain skeleton she knew. James remembers seeing her and a few others once in the Toon Force during their earlier rescue missions 5 years ago, so he's planning to ask how a majority of people came here and why they never bothered to make contact with the team. Although, an easier way of comparison would be like the many times the Nicktoons have been in total danger on their own but never asked for help unless it was a common threat. Or it could've been the virus entity from earlier. Either one works. Jimmy, with his companion go across the hall to Doug's office, first knocking before he says inside "Come on in, Jimbo!" The name Jimbo of course reminds Jimmy about his father. He feels that he could most definitely use his guidance right now, but the fact that Doug, Sandy, and a version of Timmy are here makes him feel he can look up to them. Doug's personal office is wide but not much is in it other than the picture frames of his love interest, Matty Pattie, and his pet dog Porkchop. At the end of it is a wide window that enable Doug and any guests behind the sleek wooden desk to turn around and look at the view of the two mountains at the end of the beautiful meadow behind the main hub.

Jimmy: Good morning, Doug! Fancy office!

Doug signing papers and typing on a computer: Thanks! It's not a lot, but I feel right at home here! I used to live in a pretty small room when I was little. But thanks to my old alter ego, Quailman, I thought it'd be better if I just made it wider so I have plenty of space to use!

Goddard tilting his head: Barf..?

Jimmy: Quailman..?

Doug: Yeah! Quailman. He was my superhero persona along with his underdog, Quaildog. Kinda like how Danny Fenton uses Danny Phantom but is essentially the same person. Problem was, I was young, so I was pretty much in my own imaginary void.

Jimmy: Well hey, your alter ego had some good tastes!

Doug looking at the pictures on the walls: Yeah... Sure did.

Jimmy walking up to Doug's desk with Goddard: What's all that outside if you don't mind?

Doug: Oh that? That's the meadow outside the city walls. Around the city are nice fields like this, but beyond that is typically a bitter wasteland.

Jimmy looking with Goddard's binoculars: ...I don't see anything out there.

Doug: Trust me. When you're on the tour with me, you'll see why we don't go out there. (Gets up from seat) Com'on with me to the elevator.

Jimmy: The elevator..?

Doug smiling and pressing a button on the right wall: Right here.

Behind the wooden wall is a small metal lift with a window on the right side viewing the meadow. Doug lets Jimmy and Goddard step in first before he does and presses the button to the lower floor. As they go down, the elevator makes a brief ding whenever it passes a different level before getting to the bottom to a small room that leads out the back of the palace and to the kitchen. In it contains extra picture frames and leftover materials for Doug's office or a different room.
