Episode 3
Maybe a week or two since Java attacked and everything has been exceptionally quiet. Darry leaned back against the plastic chair as a soft squeak punctuated the silence as he turned to his teammates who were looking through a laptop for more information.
"Still no info?" Darry asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Yeah-" Tammy trailed off as she scrolled down through the searches which stated nothing about what they were looking for. Tommy yawned as he grabbed a fistful of trail mix and throwing it into his mouth, bits and crumbs sprinkling onto the floor.
SpongeTron frowned as Tammy shook her head. Tommy, however, did not seem to take any heed towards it. It was exceptionally quiet for the past few weeks which should have be a relief but there was this sense of urgency among them.
Darry rubbed his eyes, balancing college, his homework and trying to figure out what the gang was up to was not in his list. Nevertheless, Darry had no other choice as he pursed his lips.
The room remained silent save for the clicking of the keyboard as Tammy desperate search for any sort of lead, but to only receive none. The robot stretched as he scooted closer over to Tammy just to help the younger girl with the research.
They fell into a momentary daze as Darry's phone rang, pulling them back to reality. Darry swiftly grabbed the phone on his table answering the call.
"Wait what! The Sons of Phantom are attacking, AGAIN?"
Everyone's attention shifted over to Darry, whose bored expression morphed into a serious one. The older boy pursed his lips as Darry rushed out, clumsily changing into his ghost from and knocking into several objects on the table as the other followed Darry out to the place in question.
"Forward! Forward! Forward!" SpongeTron instructed as Darry slid back as he regained composure as he turned to SpongeTron. Tammy and Tommy sprinted forwards blasting several bikers of their motorbike as they fell back onto the ground.
Darry conjured energy in his arms, effectively throwing at his opponents as they grunted back in pain, falling onto the road with a dramatic thud.
"Watch out, Darry!" Before Darry could react, Tommy had detained Darry's attacker as he was pinned back into the ground.
"Oh fudge," Darry groaned, shaking his head.
"Nice one, Tommy!" SpongeTron called out as he summoned up several tasers and shocking his opponents into unconscience as they fell down with a soft groan. However, their opponents kept coming and coming, attempting to run them over with their bikes.
"We gotta find a bike if we need equal chances of defeating them!" SpongeTron said as Tommy and Tammy wished up two bikes as Tammy and Tommy took up one bike as the scooted away into the roads. SpongeTron and Darry followed suit and blasted at them, creating a dust cloud just to buy them sometime and SpongeTron stepped on the accelerator as Darry sat backwards keeping an eye on their opponents.
"SpongeTron! GO! GO! Faster! They are gaining on us!" Darry exclaimed as Poof shot a magic blast towards the biker ghosts. Darry gritted his teeth as SpongeTron swerved narrowly avoiding a blast from their pursuers.
"Guys, they are getting CLOSER!" Tommy yelled hoarsely, his eyes widened as he dodged a blast from the oncoming ghosts. They gulped as they saw an unsettling grin on their faces.
Tammy stepped on the accelerator as they came nearer to a closed road of the highway, spikes forking at the tar and looked unstable.
"Oh shit," Tommy said with wide eyes.
"It's now or never!" Darry said as he snatched the controls of the bike away from SpongeTron and leapt forward, touching a part of the road. Tammy followed suit, trying to get out of the unstable road as quickly as possible and then it crumbled down as they gulped, realizing that they had narrowly escaped their demise.
Their opponents stopped squinting before their frowns curled into an unsightly smirk.
"The Quiet One will get you sooner or later,"
And they refused to turn back, stepping on the accelerator, refusing to turn back and rode all the way back to Darry's tiny apartment.
Jimmy strode purposefully with Max following him and Annie held tightly in his arms. Jimmy had found being a father to be a fruitful experience and actually regretted not marrying Cindy earlier.
Jimmy loved his children to bits. Jimmy technically was glad that Max had inherited his high IQ although Annie did not. But, he would not change it for the world. Annie slipped away from her arms as she saw the Nicktoons come from the portal as Annie's first reaction was to hug SpongeTron.
"SpongeTwon! SpongeTwon! Daddy, wook it's SpongeTwon!" The small girl bounced up and down excitedly with a huge grin on her face as she grabbed the robots hand dragging him over to the older man.
"Aw, Little Max has grown and so has Annie," Darry crouched down over to Max's level, turning over to Tammy and Tommy. Tammy and Tommy huffed fondly as they shook their head.
"Any luck for all of you?" Jimmy asked as he turned to Darry.
Darry frowned, "No, but we know that the Quiet One is definitely evil,"
"Is it any of our past enemies?" Tommy wondered aloud.
"I doubt it's one of our past adversaries since they are more upfront than this Quiet One is," Jimmy noted, stroking his chin.
"Well, the Quiet One's a coward," Darry said with a frown.
"I'm hungry," Tommy said, crossing his arms.
"Well Cindy is making lunch today and I think you guys would want to stay for Lunch today," Jimmy said with a small smile as he carried both Max and Annie, balancing them carefully on his hips as he climbed up the stairs.
"Yes, please!" Darry said, clasping his hands together.
After lunch, the Nicktoons had made off to Darry's parents house (correction: Sam's house) which was so much bigger and less cramped than Darry's apartment. They were greeted by Sam.
Over the years, Sam began to mellow out from her writing career, settling for an office job so as to support Darry and Yuki and at the same time, take care of them. She still did publish from time to time but she could not bring herself to continue writing Dean Specter.
"So, what are you, kids, up to today?" Sam asked as she lowered her spectacles onto the bridge of her nose, "You guys had any luck with figuring out who this Quiet One is?"
Darry shook his head as Sam puckered her lips, frowning.
Tommy gave a slight shrug as Darry walked over to the staircase as Sam gave them a look.
"We are going up to get some stuff down, read some news and figure out who they are,"
Yuki protruded her head out of the doorway from the kitchen, in which she had been rummaging for food, as her face lit up, "Can I join?"
Darry gave a nod and motioned her to come over as Yuki's eyes lit up as she scampered down to the older Nicktoons were standing.
"Well, to my room, then," Darry said nonchalantly as all of them walked up the staircase to Darry's room.
It was when they had just seated that Darry's phone rang and the next thing they knew was that they had to go and help.
"Ah, we have been waiting," it was Java. Java stood there, her hip cocking to her side. A gun held casually in her hand. SpongeTron blinked, his throat was almost going dry.
"Well then, folks! Let's go!" Java said, motioning the troop of motorcyclists behind her to go all out. Tammy and Tommy mumbled their wishes to Poof as they jammed head first with their laser guns to go against their opponents. Darry conjured a blast creating a ravine on the road in which some of them fell down into it as they waved their hands in anger.
SpongeTron blasted small blue energy that sparkled against Java, throwing her back a few feet as she landed back on her foot and grabbing SpongeTron's arm. SpongeTron muttered an intelligible curse and threw the robot squirrel onto the cement wall of a shop as cracks spiralled against the wall, forking as Java let out a groan but her grimace quickly morphed into invidious expression before launching herself onto the square robot as SpongeTron quickly scooted to the side as the squirrel fell head first into the asphalt of the roadside.
Within a blink of a second, Java pinned him down, her face awfully close to his. Her eyes glowed dangerously red, fear took a chokehold of SpongeTron, with the former with a smirk. He heard beeping ringing in his ears and his drivers were overheating with the overload of information.
Darry turned towards SpongeTron as he heaved a bunch of motorcyclists a few yards.
"You are the superior droid, SpongeTron," Darry yelled out to SpongeTron. And SpongeTron found a newfound strength within himself to push the robot squirrel onto the asphalt. His fear dissipated and substituted with anger. He clenched his fists tightly.
Tammy blasted away several of their opponents as Tommy took on this one rather burly guy on the motorcycle, blasting numerous beams towards his adversary. Unfortunately, Tommy got pinned down as Darry was cornered back by several motorcyclists.
"Shit, we are really in for it now…" Darry mumbled softly.
"I have got the second mask!" Out of the blue, one of the men yelled waving up and down with the Mask of Death. It was in an inky black color and had scared little eyes which looked as if it can pull anyone into a whole new dimension. It had this vibe that said it was dangerous to mess with.
"We gotta get that mask!" Tommy exclaimed as he pushed his way through the grounds but only to bounce back as the grisly looking male gave them a sneer. Darry bit the edge of his lip.
"Well, on the bright side, at least the mask of spirits is with us," Darry mumbled softly and then Java spoke loudly as they were reeled back into reality.
"Ah, we were hoping that you would give that mask…" Java began, her fingers intertwined with a business-like smile spread onto her face.
"You will never get that!" Tammy spat with vigor as she glared daggers towards the robotic female. Java just smirked.
"I AM NOT ACCEPTING THIS BULLSHIT!" Darry yelled angrily.
"I know it is with you right now in SpongeTron's backpack right now as we speak…" Java glanced towards SpongeTron, her fingers wriggling, itching to get her hands on the mask.
"Zephyr, would you be a dear and get the mask out of that low life scum's backpack," Java said sweetly.
It was a small looking ghost, rather eager joining the evil side as he opened the backpack, fishing out the mask with ease. SpongeTron tried to struggle but to no avail. Nevertheless, SpongeTron spat angrily. No one looked pleased.
"Now, shall we chao?" Java asked as they got onto their motorbikes to ride. Darry tried to chase after them but they went in a zap, leaving the ghost boy lagging behind.
A/N: Ah yes, they had gotten both of the masks. It was not a wise idea to bring it all around was it? Ah welp, fate lays on my hands whhoot! What's gonna happen next? Ah, no, Buster isn't the Quiet One as obviously revealed as this Quiet One is evil. Yeah, Darry curses, lmAo.
I AM NOT ACCEPTING THIS BULLSHIT
-Darry Fenton 2k19.
Anyway, I would love your feedback and speculations on who the Quiet One is? Who exactly are they? Have the nicktoons met them before? Are they exactly evil or is it a misunderstanding? And ooh, Java was really fun to write since she really did mess up big time. Give SpongeTron love so he feels better. Poor guy got his heart broken by this dumb robot.
