Buford was the first to regain his composure and did the first thing that came to mind. He charged head on at Doofenshmirtz.
Doofenshmirtz was laughing so hard he didn't hear Buford until it was too late.
Buford had tackled Doofenshmirtz with more force than you would think was possible. They both went sprawling towards the ground. Doofenshmirtz from the impact and Buford from his own momentum.
"You stupid little kid that hurt" Doofenshmirtz said as he scrambled to his feet
"That's the idea" Buford slowly stood up and cracked his knuckles
Buford then went on the attack. Throwing wild punches left and right hoping to connect.
Doofenshmirtz however could see the punches as they were thrown and was easily dodging them. After a few easy dodges Doofenshmirtz threw a punch of his own and connected with the side of Buford's face. He smiled wickedly at this. Buford smiled back.
"Is that the best you got? Common nerd" Buford taunted as he put his fists up as if in a boxing match.
Doofenshmirtz was more than willing to bring it on and soon was mimicking Buford's stance.
As Isabella, Baljeet and Perry watched the scene unfolding they felt helpless to do anything. It was quite the display as Buford would take a punch and throw a few wild ones without luck. This pattern kept repeating over and over again until Buford was noticeably tired. His punches were lacking force and whenever Doofenshmirtz connected he would lose ground.
Isabella felt helpless standing there as Phineas was still suffering from shock, and growing closer to death with each second. Buford getting closer to being knocked unconscious just like Ferb.
"Ferb" Isabella whispered under her breath as she looked over in his direction. He was still not moving except for his chest which was giving clear signs that he was still alive. He looked so helpless laying sprawled on the ground still clenching the electrical canon.
"That's it" Isabella jumped at the thought before grabbing Perry and explaining her plan to him. When she finally concluded Perry just smiled and nodded. They then took off both heading for different destinations but for the same goal.
"You're not doing so well" it was Doofenshmirtz's time to taunt as Buford was struggling to stand up after the one sided assault against him. Still he stood though which infuriated Doofenshmirtz.
"How are you still standing?" Doofenshmirtz asked with obvious anger in his voice.
"I'm thick skulled" again Buford's taunt hit his mark and Doofenshmirtz brought his hand back.
Knowing this punch would probably be the last one he could take before he toppled over and forgot everything.
Doofenshmirtz was ready to throw the final punch when he looked up and saw Perry and Isabella running. He immediately saw what they were going for. Perry was running towards the canon while Isabella was running towards Phineas.
Doofenshmirtz shoved Buford down and started his mad dash for the canon hoping he was just a little faster than the platypus was. He glanced over and saw Isabella finally reach Phineas but that didn't matter the only thing that mattered was that stupid canon.
"Phineas" Isabella got out between breaths
"Phineas snap out of it" Isabella was now waving her hand in front of Phineas's face trying to get him to come back to reality.
Isabella racked her brain with what she could do to get him back into the now and away from wherever he was in his head. She finally decided on the best course of action. Isabella grabbed Phineas and kissed him with so much passion that if he didn't snap out of his trance now he would never. It didn't take long before Isabella noticed he was kissing her back but she knew now was not the time and reluctantly broke apart.
"Good you're back. Listen Ferb is out cold" Isabella went to continue but was cut off
"I know. Sorry I was so sure we had won that when I saw Ferb fall I just sort of lost my mind. Where's the canon now?"
Isabella pointed towards the canon and noticed that Doofenshmirtz and Perry had figured out who was faster and only one was holding the canon. Isabella let out a small sigh before realizing Phineas was gone.
"Perry the platypus how unfortunate that I was faster. You know I could pull this trigger right now and kill you. Then I would kill everyone else and finally accomplish my goal in taking over the tri-state area." Doofenshmirtz didn't laugh he just smiled as he pointed the gun at Perry
"I am going to kill you Perry the platypus. All day I have been thwarted over and over again because all I did was take prisoners. Not anymore I am going to finish everyone who stands in my way right now" He began to pull the trigger.
"NO YOU DON'T" was all Doofenshmirtz heard before feeling himself succumb to a full nelson. His arms were pinned upward and someone locked their hands together so he wouldn't be able to break it.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Doofenshmirtz demanded an answer
"Saving my friends…and killing us both" Phineas said as he kept his death grip on the evil Doctor.
Doofenshmirtz realized what Phineas meant and started to struggle with all his might to break the boys hold on him. It was in vein but he kept at it and soon found himself feeling light headed as the blood was being rushed from his brain.
"I…I'm going to…pass out" Doofenshmirtz kept talking but he was slowly starting to lose consciousness.
"Good" Phineas said as he held the hold for as long as it took. Soon he felt the entire weight of Doofenshmirtz as he fell completely numb in his arms.
The canon hit the ground and Perry instantly picked it up and motioned for Phineas to run.
Phineas knew exactly what Perry was saying and turned to run. Then the worst thing in the world happened. The suit hit critical.
Phineas looked down at the suit as he felt it heat up rapidly and knew the cells were in the final stage of critical. There was no time to make it back to his position by the giant robot there was only time for one final look around.
Baljeet stood with stone cold emotion as he saw the whole scene unfold before him.
Ferb remained unconscious, Phineas was glad as he didn't want Ferb to see what was about to happen.
Isabella had pure shock and sadness in her eyes as she let the tears fall freely. Phineas felt tears well up in his eyes too as he looked over a Buford.
"Sorry dinner bell I thought I could take him" Buford said with genuine sorrow in his voice
Finally Phineas set his eyes on Perry who was wide eyed that this was all happening. When he looked up into Phineas's eyes and they said their silent good byes Perry nodded and aimed the canon.
Phineas shot his focus back to Isabella and with the final seconds screamed
"I'LL GIVE US ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD IZZY I PROMISE"
Perry pulled the trigger
"PHINEAS!" Isabella screamed as she watched the bolt hit him dead in the shoulder.
(3 months later)
"Hey Ferb" Isabella came strolling through the gate
Ferb just looked up from his book to show he acknowledged her presence
"Not doing anything today I see" Isabella knew for a fact Ferb hadn't built anything in over 3 months.
After the incident Perry notified the agency and they immediately set out cleaning up the streets and freeing the other agents, including the other Doofenshmirtz. The agency wanted to erase the memories of the children but decided against it on the word that if anyone ever talked they would be locked up forever.
The evil Doofenshmirtz was being held at the agency until proper arrangements could be made to have him transported. As the children left the agencies underground facility they heard a distinct warning
"I WILL GET OUT OF HERE! TRUST ME THIS IS NOT OVER" Doofenshmirtz could be heard from the entrance
The children just brushed his words off. I mean how could he get revenge he was under 24 hr. surveillance. They shrugged off his threat before leaving the building.
Since then Isabella started her old routine of going over to the Flynn-Fletcher household daily. Even if Ferb never built anything. Today was different though.
"I was thinking about visiting Phineas today. Would you like to join me?" Isabella ased
Ferb looked up and put down his book.
"No. You could use some alone time" Ferb gave her a smile and she smiled back glad he understood she would like to be alone.
With that settled Isabella took off. Her mother was waiting out front and smiled when Isabella jumped in.
"Ferb is not coming?" Vivian asked
"No he said he'll visit him another time"
Vivian just put the car in drive and they started their journey to see Phineas.
It took almost a half hour to get where they were going but when they arrived Vivian decided to stay in the car; she was going to take some of Ferb's advice. Isabella was truly grateful.
It took a while but Isabella finally found Phineas. She sat down beside him and silence filled the air. After a few moments though Isabella spoke.
"Hey Phineas. It's been three months since the incident and my mom finally said I could come see you. I was hoping we could talk for a while and just enjoy this beautiful day" Isabella sounded so hopeful with each word. She continued uninterrupted.
"I miss you at home, everyone does. Buford asks about you, Ferb stopped building and I find it hard to live not being able to see you each day. I want you to come back home" Isabella hung her head trying not to tear up.
"The doctors said I would be able to return home in a few weeks. I am regaining muscle control rapidly so I won't be away from you much longer…Izzy" Phineas smiled from his wheel chair.
Isabella looked up embarrassed she was almost crying in front of the boy who died so he could save her. She had thanked Perry nonstop since then for grabbing the two guns from Baljeet's ship and using them as a defibrillator to shock Phineas's heart again.
Isabella stood up and took Phineas's hand in hers glad he was ok.
"What about Baljeet?" Phineas looked puzzled since she said everyone worried but he noticed she never mentioned Baljeet
"To tell you the truth nobody has seen him since back at the agency" Isabella said
Although Phineas was worried about his old friend he put it aside and focused on right now. He pulled Isabella into his lap and as she giggled wrapped his hands around her.
"Let's enjoy the day Izzy" Phineas whispered into her ear as she snuggled into him to get comfortable.
(Back at the agency)
Doofenshmirtz was sitting in his cell just staring at the wall. Major Monogram felt uneasy because Doofenshmirtz seemed to be expecting something to happen. He just couldn't figure out what. As he watched the screen in another room of the video feed of Doofenshmirtz he got his answer.
The far wall began to glow a greenish color. It took a few seconds to realize that it was another Portal. Major M ran out of the room gathering all the agents as he made his way towards Doofenshmirtz's cell. When he got their he was stunned to see…he was to late.
(Unknown location)
"What took you so long? I've been in there three months" Doofenshmirtz asked as he stretched
"Sorry but I had to use two broken power cells to duplicate the power source required to work the portal device. It's not an easy job even for a genius" The voice said
"How did you know I would come?" The voice said again
"Easy when I was killing Phineas Flynn all those months ago you did nothing to stop me. You wanted him dead but you can't do it yourself. You need me" Doofenshmirtz got in real close
"Tell me your name kid"
With a gulp the mysterious figure moved into the light of the cave he was residing in.
"I'm Baljeet now are you going to help me or not?"
"I am not going to help you…But I want Phineas dead as well so maybe I'll just help you. What do you say? Partners till the job is done?"
Baljeet took a breath before taking the outstretched hand of Doofenshmirtz
"Deal"
Doofenshmirtz smiled wickedly
"Phineas Flynn I told you it's not over. Prepare for round 2" Doofenshmirtz and Baljeet went about their work.
