Chapter 68: Reluctantly Evil

Phineas and Ferb does not belong to me.


“Phineas, being evil is so much easier than being the good guy. Come on, join our cause!” Zon is using her talents to manipulate the young inventor, and so far he’s resisting. She sighs, and shines a green light into his eyes. Little does she know that many years of controlling his power has left Phineas invulnerable to any unwelcome forms of mind control. “I didn’t want to have to do this.”

He tries to look away, or at least pretends to. “You don’t want to do a lot of things, it seems. But you still do them. Why?”

She turns the beam brighter, and the robots force him to stare into it. “I’ll ask the questions around here, buddy.”

----------------------------

Phineas and Zon come back down the prison hall. Jeremy gulps as he sees the boy’s face. “He’s switched teams.”

--------------------------------

Ferb groans, putting his face in his hands. “Oh Phineas!”

Candace suddenly realises something, and she turns to Perry. “If all that was keeping him from using his power was his morals, what will he do now that he’s evil?”

Perry twitches uncomfortably. “I don’t know, Candace. I just don’t know.”

----------------------------------

Phineas grabs the bug from it’s hiding place and hands it to Suzy. “They’ve been using this to communicate with the prisoners. In fact, they can hear everything we are saying right now.” He crushes it. “And these can duplicate themselves, so we need to search everywhere. And everyone.” He looks meaningfully at Jeremy, and Zon grits her teeth.

“Search him, but do not hurt him. And bring everything you find to me. Don’t destroy it.” She points lazily at the other two occupants of the cell. “Phineas, you search them, and destroy anything you find.” He nods, and picking up the animals gently, heads into one of the interrogation rooms.

He places Callie in a soundproof cage, and puts Pinky on a table. Phineas pulls a scanning device from his pocket, and runs it over the trembling dog’s frail body. “Relax, Pinky. I’m not going to hurt you. Zon may have turned me evil, but nobody can make me cruel. Especially to my girlfriend’s pet.” He looks sad, “Even though she’s probably not my girlfriend anymore.” Pinky looks up at him sharply. The young man seems to be wishing that he is still on the other side, rather than embracing his new position.

“You don’t sound too excited about being evil.” The chihuahua winces slightly as Phineas touches a sore spot.

The inventor sighs, “Frankly, I’m not. Oh, by the way.” He removes a spare animal translator from his pocket. “I don’t really want to be evil forever.” He gently opens Pinky’s mouth and tucks the translator under the dog’s tongue. “I missed this if anyone asks.”

The old dog looks up at him, startled. “You’re a mole!”

“You can’t tell anyone else.” The young man grabs the hidden bug from the dog’s neck. “And I can’t believe they actually hid a bug on you.”
