A/N: Hi, guys! I'm a long time fan of Jimmy Two Shoes and I have been reading his fanfictions for quite a while, but I've never written a fanfiction before, so I was kind of nervous that it wouldn't go well. But I decided to do it anyway because I rarely see any new stuff about it anymore, so I just wanted to make my contribution for this show because I really love it and I think that it has given me some great times in my life. Anywho, this chapter will not be about the characters from the show, but i still needed it because it could be important for the plot of the story. If this chapter goes well, I'll try to update as quickly as I can :).
P.S. I would really appreciate if you wouldn't criticize my grammar too much because this is my first fanfiction and more importantly, because English isn't my first language.
Chapter 1
The Newcomer
His ship has crashed. Although he was still recovering from the effects of the crash, he could hear a male voice from outside the ship.
"Newcomer! You have until the count of three to open this door, or we're breaking in!" the male voice was shouting.
Alex was shocked when he heard the voice, because it meant that his Dad's stories, which were really hard to believe, could be true. Still shocked from the sudden realization, he didn't notice that the count already hit three and that the entrance to the ship was about to be destroyed. Before he could react, the door exploded. Through the smoke caused by the explosion, Alex managed to see someone coming in. It was a girl, she was a bit shorter than him and she was wearing a maroon dress with her hair wrapped in a ponytail. What stood out was that she was wearing a gas mask, which caused Alex to immediately put his hands over his nose and mouth.
"It won't help. The gas will still knock you out. But I think I know already where you are from. That's curious, rarely anybody makes it from there. Nevertheless, we still have to do the standard tests" the girl said with an evil grin.
"What kinds of tests?" Alex worriedly asked, before falling down to his knees because of the gas.
"You will find out soon enough, I don't want to spoil the surprise. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the girl started laughing hysterically whilst Alex was slowly losing his consciousness…
3 days earlier
It seemed like it was going to be another ordinary day for Alex, who was listening to music on his computer, while his dad was losing money by betting on horse races, yet again. As he was listening to music on his headphones, he occasionally turned his head around just to see his father yelling at the TV when there's a race on. His reactions were always very interesting.
"Come on Sea Breeze, you got this, I knew it was a good idea to only bet on a top three finish" his father was cheering the horse on, as the race was coming to an end.
"One more lap, it's in the bag, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, NOOOOOOOOOO!" he yelled really loud and made Alex jump off his chair even though he was wearing headphones.
"Could you be any more louder?" Alex asked.
"Stupid Sea Breeze! Tell me son, how often does the odds-on favorite finish FIFTH?!" he shrieked.
"That's why it's called gambling, Dad! Because you're never sure that you're going to win." Alex replied.
"Don't be a smartass, Alex" his father answered back.
At that moment, someone tried to open the door, but it was locked. Then, the doorbell rang, which made Alex's father really nervous.
"Shit! Good thing I always lock the door. Alex, go to your room right now!" he ordered.
"Why? Who is it?" Alex asked
"It's for your own safety" his father tried to convince him
"Is it Marco and Emilio again? It's the third time this week, Dad. If you keep on borrowing money from the loan sharks, only bad things will happen." Alex anxiously said.
"Don't worry about it, just let me handle it and go to your room, Alex. And will you have a bit of faith in me for once, trust me, I got this" his father said with unusual confidence striking out of him.
"Yeah, well, good thing I don't trust you with my allowance" Alex responded sarcastically as he closed the door to his room and put his headphones back on.
After a couple of hours his father came into the room and started talking in a serious tone
"Remember when you told me that you're going to quit college, and I said that you could, but only if you do one thing for me, no matter what that thing is?"
Alex nodded.
"Good, because tomorrow we're going to do that thing" he continued
"What are we going to do?" Alex was curious
"I'll tell you everything tomorrow, now I have to go and make the final preparations. Meet me tomorrow at the abandoned building next to the storage units. Goodnight, Son" he finished and left.
Alex had trouble sleeping that night, he was trying to figure out what his father had planned for him to do, and what connection could it have with the abandoned building.
"What could it be? Why does he want me to go to the abandoned building? What did the loan sharks do to him to make him resort to this? Were those guys even loan sharks?" he thought as the fear that he might have to do something he won't like wouldn't let him sleep.
Tomorrow came, and Alex arrived at the building.
Alex knocked twice on the front door, and as he heard his father yell from inside to come in, he went in. What he saw blew his mind away.
It was a rocket, built by his Dad. He was standing next to the control centre and he was making the final preparations for launch.
"I bet you didn't see this coming" his father proudly said and pointed towards the rocket
"H-How? Wh-When?" Alex was stuttering
"That's not really important right now, what is important is that you're going into it" his Dad said
"WHAT? YOU KNOW THIS IS CRAZY RIGHT? What am I supposed to do? Go fly this homemade rocket, a rocket that has absolutely no chance of crashing, because it was made by a brilliant mind that lost all his money on stupid horse races!" Alex yelled loudly
"Shhh, the last thing we need is to attract attention" his father tried to calm him down
"When I land on the Moon, should I put a flag on it, with a sign that you give this moon to the loan sharks as a token of your appreciation for their patience?!" Alex ignored his plea and continued yelling
His father kind of expected that Alex wouldn't go along with the idea so easily, so while he was having a tantrum, he prepared his tranquilizer gun
"I wonder what should be my first words when I land on the Moon? How about something like "This is one small step for a man, but one gia-" at that moment his father shot him with the tranquillizer
"Sorry, kid, but I can't risk this slipping away" his father said
Alex was determined to finish his sarcastic remark and he yelled "LET ME FINISH! One small step for man, but one giant leap for a loan shark, BADUMTSS!" he shouted before he went unconscious.
When Alex woke up, he was strapped into the front seat of the rocket. The rocket wasn't launched yet. He tried calling out his father, but no one responded. Shortly afterwards, the countdown started, which made Alex really nervous as he tried to get himself free, but he couldn't.
"Do you hear me, Alex?" his Dad was speaking to him from the intercom
"Let me go, Dad, this is crazy!" Alex tried to persuade his father
"Trust me, Alex, it's more reasonable than you could ever imagine" his father responded
As the countdown went into the final minute and realizing that he won't get himself free, Alex started accepting his fate.
"Where am I going, Dad?" Alex hopelessly asked
His father first hesitated, but then decided to tell him
"Well, I guess you can't say no now, so I'll tell you. What if I told you that I know another planet that people can live on?" his father asked
"I would say that that is very unlikely, because there's no chance that you're the only one who noticed it" Alex replied
"Yeah, hehe, funny story, but I didn't notice the planet as well. But, I am 99% certain that it exists" his father said
"YOU NEVER SAW IT?! How do you know that it exists then? And what about the other 1%?!" Alex shrieked
"I just know, ok?! And the 1% is just for precautionary measures" he responded and continued
"Listen, the rocket is about to blow off, so we'll talk one more time when I give you your final instructions. Good luck, Alex" his father was saying farewell
Alex didn't respond back. In his head, he was cursing the day he left college. He knew that it would come back to haunt him one day, but he never expected that day to come so soon.
The rocket launched successfully. It left the Earth's atmosphere soon after that. After some time, the straps loosened and Alex rushed to look out through the window. He saw Earth fading away quickly.
"Damn, this thing actually worked, I guess he wasn't all crazy. But seriously, life on other planets! He must have been a drug addict as much as he was a gambling addict" Alex first thought
"I never asked him how long this trip is going to take. It could last for years!" the thought frightened him
"Alex, it's time" his father said through the intercom
"Time for the final instructions?" he asked back
"Yes, now listen carefully. You need to put your seatbelt back on and press the big red button. That will cause the rocket to go into hyper warp. After that, the rocket will automatically navigate itself to crash on another planet. I must warn you in advance that there are other life forms on that planet" his father said
"I'll believe it when I see it" Alex said indifferently
"I know you're angry, but honestly, what were you expecting to do in life once you quitted college?" his Dad tried to justify his actions
"I don't know, Dad. I guess I would have gone back someday, I just needed a break" he said remorsefully
"But lots of kids quit college, and they don't get send off their home planet. I mean, what kind of bad parenting is that? Alex said sarcastically
"Don't think that I did this because of you quitting college. That was just a cover up. You'll find out why I did it one day. And one more thing, when you exit the hyper warp, we won't be able to communicate anymore" his father said
"Finally, some good news" Alex responded sarcastically again
"Well, I guess this is goodbye then. Any final words for me, Son?" his father asked
"Yeah, BYE!" Alex yelled and pounded the big red button, which made the rocket go into some kind of wormhole and gain speed for a couple of minutes.
After it left the wormhole, the rocket went back to its normal speed and started going towards a planet. This planet had a different shape than all the other planets in the solar system. Earth was nowhere to be seen. Alex was getting freaked out because all of his father's predictions were being true.
"How could he do this all by himself?! I mean, I know he was a scientist a while back, but no human being knew about life on other planets, let alone being able to send their son there!"
"Countdown to destination: 10 minutes" the alarm sounded
"Crap! Might as well strap back" he thought
At that time in Myseryville…
Heloise noticed the Newcomer's ship the second it came into Myseryville's atmosphere and she was making the final preparations for his landing, like evacuating the area or getting Lucius and his henchmen out of bed.
"You know, Lucius, your henchmen are real whiners! Some of them even cried!" Heloise remarked
"You're telling me" Samy commented, who apparently already had experience with waking up the henchmen
"They might have been in a better mood if you didn't Wake them up in the middle of THE night!" Lucius was alluding to himself
"Don't blame me! It says so in the protocol that when every newcomer arrives all henchmen and their ruler must be present because of protection" Heloise vindicated herself
"PROTECTION! Who wrote that garbage?" Lucius asked
"That would be you, sir" Samy replied
"Did you just say that I am GARBAGE?!" Lucius shrieked
"No, sir, I jus-" Samy tried to justify himself, but Lucius had other plans
"I will have none of this! HENCHMEN, throw him into the Abyss of Nothingness!" he ordered
The henchmen then grabbed a screaming Samy and threw him into the Abyss
"Ahhh, that's better" Lucius sighed before continuing
"Heloise, is there any threat from this Newcomer?" Lucius asked
"I can't know for sure. The only thing I can tell you right now is that his ship is a standard transportation ship, which means that the ship is not a threat, but I won't know about the Newcomer anything before I am able to analyze him. Just in case if he is dangerous, we shouldn't take any chances, there might be even more of them, so when your henchmen break the entrance in, we should knock him out with the sleeping gas" she replied
"Alright then, I'll just go get the megaphone in case he decides to surrender peacefully" Lucius said
Heloise nodded in agreement.
After the henchmen broke down the door to Alex's ship and she went inside, while Alex was falling unconscious, she thought in her head
"How did he get here?! If he is anything like Jimmy, Lucius will destroy him before he knows it. I hope he is not from Earth, because if this guy made it from Earth to here, and his ship is even remotely functional, he might try to send Jimmy back to Earth. I won't take the chance, when I'm left alone, I'll destroy his ship" she decided while the henchmen were taking an unconscious Alex back to her lab…
