Chapter One: A Duel in the Woods

AN: Hello everyone! I have returned and I've got an ambitious story in mind with an intent to complete it, (or in the very least go on for a few chapters without stopping). For those who don't know, I originally made a story called Deep Impacts (a reference to an episode from the cancelled season 4). I cancelled that one due to not being too fond of the writing. I did like the basic idea from that story, so I'm gonna redo the story. Though in the end, it'll hardly have anything in common with the original.

Anyway, the story takes place after they graduated fifth grade and are on summer vacation. At this point, the main characters are 12 years old with the exceptions of Nick Dean who's 13 and Sheen Estevez who's 14. At this point, the best way to describe how they look is almost like how they appear in the original series. The main difference being that they're all a few inches taller. I'm excited to see how you all will think as this story plays out. Nick is also part of the main cast now, Sheen and Libby are still a thing, Jimmy and Cindy secretly love each other (although secretly is used loosely), while are still arguing about every little thing. Oh and to get some context on the superpowers and nicknames, I recommend watching the episode 'The N-Men' before watching this. Now that we're up to speed, let's waste no time to begin this story.

Redwood Forest, CA

"Yo Jimmy! You there?!"

Inside the dense forest Carl Wheezer was on his own. The voice with the Spanish accent came from the speaker on his watch.

"Loud and clear. A little too loudly I might add. And it's Science Guy," came another voice from the watch. "Status update!"

Carl crept his way through the woods in case any opponent would show up. All he had was his jetpack and the weapon he used when he was the Tofunator some time back. Even the slightest noise he heard, made him sweat nervously. He kept the volume low on his watch so it would be hard for anyone else to hear.

"After some scouting, I've seen Darksyde doing the same thing and I've engaged him in combat!" Sheen responded tensely over the speaker.

"Vibrating Lad! What're you doing?!" Jimmy responded angrily. "This was supposed to be a recon mission!"

Carl heard the whole thing as he stood up. "Should've known better than to send Sheen on something like this," Carl responded as he turned on his jetpack to fly up to a large branch to get a better view.

"Ugh… Anyway, what's your position Tofunator?" Jimmy asked. "Any visuals?

"Nope nothing yet," Carl responded looking in every way he could. Unfortunately, two individuals came out of nowhere as if they phased into existence. One with a silver shirt with a red skirt and blond hair in the usual ponytail and one with a blue suit and brown braided hair.

"Guess again, Tofunator." The blond one said in a snarky way with a major smirk. "You're about to get some kung-fu instead." She got a glare from the blue one. "What, the timing was perfect."

"Tofu puns are just… no." The blue one responded. "They're just so tasteless," They both then broke out into laughter. As they were temporarily distracted with their jokes, Carl fired some of his tofu at them both. The blue one then put up a force field of some kind to block the attack.

"Tofunator to Science Guy!" Carl screamed into the mic as he kept firing. "Special Girl and Invisible Sista are hot on my tail! I need help SOON!"

"Vortex…" Jimmy grumbled. "I'll head to your location now!" Jimmy responded and the radio turned off for the time being. Carl then fired more shots, only to get attacked from behind by Special Girl causing Carl to fall off the branch and to almost certain doom. However, just in the nick of time, Carl activated his jet pack and attempted to flee from Special Girl and Invisible Sista. They were still gaining on him, so he fired back. This would've worked better, though Carl isn't exactly a good shot. If nothing else, he was delaying the inevitable. It didn't help they they were both able to fly too. He was losing time quickly and his stress levels were high. As he was flying, a green ring shaped laser passed by from Darksyde which had his attention on Sheen.

Darksyde was around Sheen's height and was wearing a black suit with dark hair and tan skin. Sheen had been able to dodge nearly every blast Darksyde fired from his spear of Yolkian design. Seeing that Sheen at the ability to run at the speed of sound, this felt almost effortless for him. This went on for some time until he was caught off guard and was knocked out by a blast for only a second, but then barely dodged another blast. Darksyde then proceeded to teleport towards Sheen at the same pace he was running. They both threw and dodged attacks all the while at lightning-fast speeds. Both were too focused on each other to notice anything else.

Back to Carl, he was almost caught. He tried his best, but due to his mediocre aim and overweight body, caused Invisible Sista' and Special Girl to pursue him almost easily. The gap between them was closing quickly and they were on the brink of grabbing him when suddenly a red laser hit Special Girl causing her to hit a tree and fall to the ground right before catching herself at the last minute.

"I've got this one!" The person that fired the laser was none other than Jimmy Neutron, which currently was Science Guy. He used his anti-gravity shoes to get around in the air. This left Carl to Libby which made the fight more even. Special Girl then levitated to where Jimmy was.

"Neutro-I mean, Science Freak…" Special Girl started with her usual smirk. "You've finally decided to show yourself." She then took out and activated an emerald colored laser sword.

"Glad I gave you something to look forward to," Jimmy said with a smirk that matched hers. He then activated his sapphire colored laser sword. "One shall stand-"

"Oh quit the theatrics, let's get to it!" Special Girl responded as she began charging at him. He expected this and both clashed their weapons on the air and on the ground. One was stronger than the other which made her blows more effective. One was smarter than the other which made his moves more strategic. They were evenly matched. She was able to knock him back with some aggressive and quick blows while he was able to catch her off guard with any opening he found to strike.

The fight overall with everyone around was at a stalemate. Everyone seemed even but in different ways. That wasn't permanent however. Sheen was much more equipped with his speed than Darksyde was his teleportation. This allowed Sheen an opening to trip him and throw a fast punch leaving him incapacitated, but not unconcious. Carl wasn't as lucky. Though his aim was poor, whatever tofu that hit was deflected by Invisible Sista's shield that would appear in front of her whenever he fired. The same shield would also allow her to float to begin. She eventually managed to hit his jetpack which caused him to crash land to the ocean nearby screaming "My scapula!" in the process. Carl was out for the count, which left the main fight. Jimmy managed to put up a fight, but so did Special Girl. This would be until Sheen raced by to land a hit which distracted her enough to receive a hit from Jimmy, knocking her backwards only for Jimmy to grab her arm.

"Wanna call it game?" Jimmy asked teasingly.

Meanwhile, Sheen was also able to take out Invisible Sista' pretty easily since she seemed exhausted. "We're still together, right?" he asked after claiming victory.

She responded, "Fine, but only because you're pretty handsome when in combat,"

"I got my moves from the one and only Ultralord, of course," Sheen gloated.

"Oh brother," Invisible Sista' responded rolling her eyes only to smile.

Back to Jimmy and Special Girl, she retorted by knocking his anti-gravity shoes and then carrying him up a hundred feet into the sky. Basically, she turned the tables and Jimmy was at her mercy. "How about we call a game now?" She teased with a friendly grin.

And that was the first chapter of my new story. I hope you all enjoyed it! And here's a chart as to who corresponded with which nickname. I would've put this on the top of the chapter, but that would've spoiled the surprise.

Team A:

Jimmy Neutron = Science Guy

Carl Wheezer = Tofunator

Sheen Estevez = Vibrating Lad

Team B:

Cindy Vortex = Special Girl

Libby Folfax = Invisible Sista'

Nick Dean = Darksyde

Also if you're wondering why I didn't just have Hulk Jimmy or Burping Carl, I wanted Carl to have something less juvenile since this was gonna cater to an older audience. As for Hulk Jimmy, that would've been too one-sided, so I had him use technology. Nick also didn't have a power as Darksyde, so he was lended a teleportation device and Yolkian spear, that they basically looted after the battle on Yolkus in the movie. Anyway, I am eager to hear your reviews with what you liked and/or what I can do to improve for the later chapters!
