Episode 3.4
Fatal Pheromones

Danville
Friday November 16
9:00 a.m.

It is a warm autumn day in Danville. A middle-aged man decides to go out jogging for a little bit. He gets his mp3 player out and starts jogging on the sidewalk. He runs past several houses and the high school, where the staff was getting the field ready for the football game later on. He eventually makes it to the Danville Park. As he continues to jog, he notices something in the trees.
"What on Earth is that?" said the jogger.
A strange-looking bird was looking down at the jogger. Then, something was moving in the bushes. The man decides to head back home. Suddenly, a big cat that resembles a lion pounces on him and kills him with a snap of its jaws. The lion carries its victim towards an area where more lions were feasting on other people and animals that they have killed. The strange bird flies down and begins to feast on some of the victims. One of the lions tries to attack the bird but the bird squawks at the big feline and the cat just walks the other direction, not evening messing with the scavenger.

2:55 p.m.
Danville High School

At the high school, Buford has just finished practicing for tonight's game. Adyson runs up to him after doing some cheerleading practice.
"Ready for tonight's game Buford," said Adyson.
"I sure am," said Buford. "Are you girls ready?"
"I think so. I will be honest I am a little nervous about it. Cassandra and her girls are pretty tough, but we have some pretty hot moves ourselves."
"That's what I like to hear; some confidence. Well, I'll be heading home to get some rest."
"Okay, I'll see you tonight."
Buford heads home to get some rest.
"You sure we are going to win tonight?" said Katie. "The other team I hear is pretty tough."
"What you think we won't win?" said Adyson.
"No, not really. It's just…"
"I'll bet you that we will win."
"O-kay. What do you want to bet?"
"If we don't win, then I'll wash your cheerleading outfit, as well as mine."
"But what if we do win?"
"If we win, then you have to kiss Irving."
"What? Kiss Irving, what does that have to do with anything?"
"Come on Katie, I know you like him. Besides I'm just random that way sometimes. Well I'll see you later."
"Okay, see ya."

3:10 p.m.

Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Irving were walking out the door of the school.
"So Izzy, you girls seem to be determined with your cheerleading skills," said Phineas.
"Yeah, well we ex-fireside girls are very determined-especially when it comes to beating a rival team," said Isabella.
"I know you girls will do fine. Let's just hope nothing interrupts the game tonight."
"Like an anomaly opens in the middle of the game," said Ferb.
"Something like that," said Phineas.
The four just laughed a little but were still a bit nervous about what might happen later tonight.
"Well I'll see you guys later tonight," said Irving.
"Where are you going?" said Phineas.
"I'm heading to the ARC to see what Dr. Hunt is up to, because I got nothing else to do until the game tonight."
"Okay, well tell doc that we said hello and that we hope to see him at the game tonight," said Isabella.
"I will."
Irving then takes off. Katie sees Irving leaving and decides to see what he is doing.
"Irving," said Katie.
"Hey Katie," said Irving. "What's up?"
"Not much really. Where are you going?"
"I'm heading to the ARC to see Dr. Hunt."
"Oh, well can I come with you?"
"Don't you need to get ready for tonight's game?"
"I am ready. Why, you don't want me to accompany you?"
"No, no, no, no. That's not what I meant. I was just curious. I'm always glad to have your company."
Katie just smiled. She was still thinking about what Adyson said.
"Okay, let's go then."
Katie began to walk when Irving walked the other direction.
"Uh Katie, my scooter is over here."
"I didn't know you have a scooter."
"Yeah, I recently got it the other day."
Irving threw Katie a helmet.
"You might want to hang on to me, because this thing goes a little fast."
"Like this?"
Katie wraps her arms around Irving's chest. Irving can feel the warmth of her body.
"Yeah like that. Hold on."
They then headed off to the ARC.

3:20 p.m.

The two friends were only less than a mile away from the ARC, when they stumble upon something.
"Irving, what are those?" said Katie.
Irving gets off his scooter and walks over to a bush, where something was feeding near it.
"Are those deer? They sort of resemble that Cervalces herd we saw in the Rockies of Colorado, except bigger."
"They're not just deer," said Irving. "With antlers that size, they can only be Megaloceras-the biggest deer that ever lived. They were also known as the Irish elk; except that are not elks nor did they just live in Ireland."
The deer were busy feeding on the bushes and grass.
"There must be over a dozen of them," said Katie.
One of the deer looks up and calls out to the herd. Suddenly a large cat pounces onto one of the deer. The herd then begins to run.
"Now this is definitely similar to our trip in the Rockies," said Katie.
"Yeah, only instead of a Homotherium, this is a Panthera leo spelaea."
"What now?"
"A European cave lion, in other words."
"That's a lion? It's huge."
"Yes, well the cave lion was one of the biggest cats that ever lived, along with the American lion."
The huge lion begins to carry the dead Megaloceras away.
"Where is it taking its food?"
"I don't, but it doesn't look very far from here."
The two slowly follow the big cat to its destination, where they make a very disturbing discovery.
"What happened here?" said Katie.
They find a pack of four cave lions feasting on the Megaloceras. Around them, were several dead animals and a few people, including the jogger they killed earlier.
"This must be the place they bring their kills," said Irving.
"That's a lot of meat for just four lions," said Katie.
"Yes, and that's what I'm wondering."
"Wondering about what?"
"Why did four cave lions kill all these large animals and these four people? It's more than enough food for them to stomach."
"And a lot of these carcasses haven't been eaten yet."
"Exactly; predators don't hunt when they are not hungry. So why are they killing so many animals and people?"
Before Katie can reply, she notices the strange bird in the trees looking down at them.
"Uh Irving, what is that in the tree looking at us?"
Irving looks up and sees the creature.
"I have no idea. I've never seen a bird like that in Danville before."
The bird then squawks loudly. It was a very bizarre sound. The cave lions then notice Irving and Katie. They start to walk towards.
"That bird just alerted those lions," said Irving.
"What do you mean alerted?" said Katie.
The lions crept closer to them.
"Skip that question, let's get out of here."
The two then run back towards Irving's scooter. Irving tries to start it but it won't go.
"Come on," said Irving.
He presses the gas again.
"Irving," said Katie worriedly.
"Come on!" yelled Irving.
The scooter finally starts and the two friends rode away towards the ARC. The big cats just stayed behind knowing that they can't outrun them. They walk back to their lair while the strange bird in the trees watches the two rides off.

3:45 p.m.
Danville ARC

The two teenagers finally made it to the ARC. Irving get out of his scooter but Katie still has her arms wrapped around his waist tightly.
"Uh Katie," said Irving. "We're here. The cats are far away. You can let me breathe now."
"Oh, sorry Irving," said Katie. "I didn't mean to hang on to you so tightly. It's just that was a pretty scary situation."
"It's okay. Still we might want to let the doc know about the cave lions and the Megaloceras herd rampaging in Danville."
"And also that weird bird we saw. Strange is when that bird squawked it seemed to have alerted the lions that we were there. That sounds a little silly."
"Maybe, but curious though."
The two walk into the building where they find the scientist in front of the Epigaulus enclosure.
"Hey Dr. Hunt," said Irving.
"Irving. Katie," said Dr. Hunt. "What are you two doing here? I was just getting ready to head to your football game at your high school."
"We just came over to see if you were still planning on doing that," said Katie.
"And also to let you know that we just now had a creature encounter on the way over here," said Irving.
"What kind of creature?"
"We first saw a herd of Megaloceras and then one of them got attacked by a European cave lion. We followed it to see where it will go. We found it along with three other lions, as well as several animals and a few people that they have killed."
Dr. Hunt was puzzled about their discovery.
"We are just wondering why they are killing more than they need to," said Katie. "There was also this strange-looking bird in the trees. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen."
Dr. Hunt then becomes worried. He quickly picks up a book and flips to a picture of a bird.
"Did it look something like this?" said the scientist.
"Yes," said Katie and Irving at the same time.
"Oh no, this is not good."
"Why, what is it?" said Katie.
"That bird you kids saw was not an ordinary bird. It is a species from the future."
"A future bird," said Irving.
"Yes. I gave it the scientific name Ornitholinguasilex incanus, which means "Inca's Sharp-Tongued Bird." It refers to the bird's resemblance to a mythical Incan goddess and the sharp tongue the creature has. Its tongue is used to drill through flesh of its prey."
"Kinda like the tongue of a woodpecker when it pursues insects," said Irving.
"Yes, in fact this bird is a descendant of modern woodpeckers only not as harmless."
"And you've encountered this creature before," said Katie.
"Yes, and I've discovered something that makes this bird much more dangerous than the terror bird, Kelenken. It uses pheromones to control the minds of other predators to do the killing for it, so the bird doesn't have to do the hunting itself."
"That explains why the cave lions responded when that bird squawked," said Katie. "It was alerting the lions that we were their next target."
"Pretty much, in a similar way how a queen honeybee uses its pheromones to communicate with its subjects."
"Well, we need to find the anomaly and get the cave lions and the Megaloceras herd back through it," said Irving. "And we need to do it before tonight's game."
"The game!" exclaimed Katie. "Irving, what if those cats, deer, and bird end up during our game tonight?
"It could happen," said Irving. "We need to let the others know. The game starts at 7:00 tonight."
Irving then picks up his phone to call Phineas, while Katie calls Isabella on hers. The next minutes, they hang up.
"They said they'll be over here in the next few minutes," said Irving.
Suddenly, Phineas and the rest of the gang popped into the room through Ferb's teleporter.
"Make that a few seconds," said Katie.
"What's up?" said Phineas.
"Irving, Katie, and Dr. Hunt explained everything.
"Well, we better start searching for the anomaly," said Buford. "The game starts in three hours."
"Let's go team," said Phineas.
Ferb, Buford, and Django grabbed some tranquilizers and head out with the rest of the gang.
"Hold on kids," said Dr. Hunt. "I'm coming with you this time. I know about this bird from experience."
The gang agreed and headed to where Katie and Irving found the cave lions.

4:00 p.m.
Perry's headquarters

"Good evening Agent P," said Major Monogram. "It appears that Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to his old tricks. We've found out that he has purchased several light bulbs and a large lamp of some sort. You better head over and check it out. Monogram out."
Monogram signs off and Perry heads to his hover car. He tries to start it but it wouldn't start. His watch then rings.
"Also Agent P, we should mention that your hover car is need of repairs, so we got you this compact truck for you to drive."
Perry sees a small truck parked in front of his hover car. He gets in it and heads out.

Music starts:
"He's Alabama-bound with a load of bananas,
Headin' south across the Mason-Dixon line,
Then he's haulin' pineapples to Gary, Indiana,
Gotta burn some rubber, make that highway whine!

He's a mobile mammal and I bet you a fiver
He's eatin' hush puppies and corn on the cob,
He's a semi-aquatic semi driver,
A full-time agent with a part-time job!

Aw yeah, I'll bet you a fiver!
That there's a mobile mammal!

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh! Woo!"
Music ends:

4:15 p.m.

Phineas and the gang, along with Dr. Hunt, have arrived at the site where Irving and Katie found the cave lions.
"They were here earlier," said Katie.
Everyone was just horrified at all the carcasses and bones scattered across the area.
"That's a lot of dead things," said Buford.
"Well we better find this anomaly and get the cave lions back through before the game starts tonight," said Isabella.
"Ferb, do you have anything on your detector?" asked Phineas.
Ferb pulls the detector out and the device starts beeping.
"According to this, the anomaly should be east of here," said Ferb.
"All right then let's go," said Adyson.
The gang continued on with their search.

4:30 p.m.

Fifteen minutes later, the gang finally found the anomaly near a lake.
"Well here's the anomaly," said Ginger.
"Now what do we do," said Baljeet.
"We need to find the lions and the Megaloceras herd and lure them over here somehow," said Phineas.
Dr. Hunt looks and sees some logs and branches lying around.
"I have an idea," said the scientist. "We need to gather as much of those large logs and create a wall."
Without asking what the plan is, the gang start working on collecting logs and building a wall.

4:45 p.m.
"Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated"

Perry lunges into Dr. Doofenshmirtz's lair and finds him on his porch with a contraption he has built. As he walks over to him, a large trap in the shape of a huge light bulb captures him.
"Perry the platypus, what a surprise," said the mad scientist. "You like my newest trap? It used to be a light bulb until it burnt out. I was going to through it out, but I just liked the design of it so I didn't. I instead turned it into the trap that you are trapped in, ha ha ha! And speaking of light bulbs let me introduce you to the burn-eyes-inator! You know when people turn off the lights or when they are in a dark room and when someone turns on the lights it hurts their eyes. Well, that's what this baby is for. And I will use it against my goody two-shoes brother, Roger; who by the way is giving a speech in front of my home. Seriously, of all places to do your speech, why here and why now? I was just sitting and relaxing on my chair watching Evil Jeopardy, when I heard people cheering and clapping. I realize it is a speech of some sort that Roger, of all people is giving. That is why I will blind him with my burn-eyes-inator, which is made up of several light bulbs. It will make him zoned out and not think straight as well as blind. I'm an evil genius! I will get started as soon as the inator is fully charged."
Perry just rolls his eyes and tries to figure a way out of the trap.

5:00 p.m.

Meanwhile, Phineas and the other teenagers have finished building the wall of logs that lead to the anomaly.
"So doc, can you explain what the plan is?" said Gretchen.
"Well, basically once we find the Megaloceras herd, we will lure them through here," said Dr. Hunt. "They won't likely go into the water and these logs will prevent them from going anywhere."
"So they will have no choice but to go back through the anomaly," said Milly.
"Precisely."
"Now we need to just find these giant deer," said Holly.
"How about this?" said Phineas. "Irving. You, Katie, Buford, and Adyson go search for the Megaloceras. I thought we may have spotted some tracks along the way over here."
"Okay gotcha," said Irving.
"Be careful you guys," said Isabella. "Remember, our game is tonight."
The four run off to find the herd right after Isabella gave them her warning.

5:10 p.m.

The four teenagers have found the tracks and follow them for a couple minutes. They eventually find the herd.
"Those are some big deer," said Adyson.
"Yeah, pretty much every hunter's dream-to hunt a deer with a twelve-foot wide rack of antlers to hang above their fireplace," said Buford.
"How are we going to get all these deer back through Irving?" said Katie.
"I'm thinking about that right now," said Irving.
While Irving was thinking of a plan, they are unaware that the cave lions and the future woodpecker are stalking the herd. The bird was just waiting for the right moment to allow the lions to attack the large deer.

5:15 p.m.

Elsewhere, Doofenshmirtz has got his burn-eyes-inator ready to fire at Roger. Perry manages to burst out of the light bulb by prying off the glass case.
"Get ready to be knocked out Roger my brother. Let there be light!"
Right as Doof presses the button, Perry leaps and knocks him down. He still manages to press the button but the light misses Roger.
"Oh now you've made me mad Perry the platypus. Let's see how you like being blinded by this light."
Doof fires at Perry but the platypus manages to get out of the way.
"Hold still, will ya!"
Doof kept firing and Perry kept dodging.

The beam of light zoomed towards where the Megaloceras herd was. The bird was about to give the signal for the lions to attack, when the light flashes at the deer. They then notice the cave lions stalking them. They then stampeded towards where Irving, Katie, Buford, and Adyson were.
"Hey Irving, what's that sound?" said Katie.
All four of the teenagers looked back and sees the herd running towards them.
"Stampede!!!" yelled Buford.
"Run for it!" yelled Irving.
The four teens ran towards where the rest of the gang was, with the deer, lions, and the bird close behind.

5:30 p.m.

"I wonder what's keeping them so long," said Milly.
"I'm sure they are okay," said Holly. "They are probably on their way of here right as we speak."
Suddenly, everyone hears a rumbling sound.
"That's not thunder is it?" said Alex.
"No, look!" said Ginger.
The gang sees Irving, Katie, Buford, and Adyson running towards them, with the Megaloceras herd right behind them.
"Alright everyone, you know the drill," said Phineas. "Get behind the wall."
Everyone runs behind the wall. The four teens soon join them. With nowhere else to go, the Megaloceras herd runs through the anomaly.
"Is that all of them?" said Isabella.
"Yep, that's all of them," said Dr. Hunt.
"Yes, but now we have to deal with these cave lions," said Baljeet.
The lions crept towards the gang. The strange bird flies into a tree and starts to spread it's pheromones onto the cats, getting them to attack them.
"Stay clear guys," said Ferb as he pulls out his tranquilizer.
As he was about to shoot, one of the lions leaps at him knocking the gun out of his hand. Ferb falls and hits his head against a rock.
"Ferb!" yelled Gretchen.
She runs towards Ferb.
"Gretchen, look out!" yelled Phineas.
Another cave lion charges towards her. It was getting close to lunging at her, when Dr. Hunt fires a tranq dart at the cat. It falls over out conscious.
"One down, three to go," said Dr. Hunt.
"Ferb are you okay?" said Gretchen worriedly.
"I'm fine Gretchen, just a little bruise on the head," said Ferb.
Gretchen looks at his head carefully.
"Your head is bleeding."
Gretchen then gets out a bandage and places it gently on Ferb's forehead.
"There it's all bandaged up."
"I hate to interrupt your moment but we still have cave lions trying to eat us," said Buford.
A second lion runs at Buford who then fires a tranq dart at it. It hits the cat directly, knocking it out.
"Man these darts sure do their job," said Buford.
"Buford, behind you!" yelled Adyson.
Buford turns around and sees the third lion.
"Hello kitty," said Buford nervously. "Nice kitty."
The cave lion was about to attack when Django shoots it in the leg with a dart. It then goes down.
"Now there is just one more," said Baljeet.
The remaining lion creeps towards the gang.
"Bad news yawl, we are out of darts," said Holly.
Everyone just stood as the huge cat walks towards them. It growls at them and showing its huge teeth. Suddenly, a Megaloceras comes out of nowhere and charges at the lion.
"Where did that Megaloceras come from?" said Ginger.
"Must have got separated from the rest of the herd during the stampede," said Katie.
The huge deer fights off the cat with its enormous antlers. It hits the cat again flinging against the log wall. The wall fell apart on top of the cat.
"Ouch," said Milly. "That's going to be a lot of splinters."
The lion manages to get back up. With an injured leg, it limps back towards the anomaly.
"Well now that lion is back through, let's get these sleeping lions back as well," said Dr. Hunt.
Everyone carried the huge cats back through the anomaly. The Megaloceras also ran back through just in time before the anomaly closed.
"Well that's everyone," said Phineas.
"Umm, not exactly Dinnerbell," said Buford. "What about mind freak up there?"
The future bird swoops down at the gang and tries to attack them.
"I think we made it angry for interfering with its army of European cave lions," said Gretchen.
Everything then went quiet.
"Where did it go?" said Isabella.
Everything was still quiet until…
"Irving, look out!" yelled Dr. Hunt.
The bird swoops down and pins Irving to the ground. It shrieks loudly at the blonde-haired teenager.

5:50 p.m.

Elsewhere, Doofenshmirtz is still trying to zap Perry with his burn-eyes-inator.
"Haha Perry the platypus. I have got you this time."
Doof presses the button, but Perry leaps at him making the light shoot in the other direction. Then, the inator fries and malfunctions.
"That's just great, now the whole bulb is burnt out."
Perry then gets back into his truck and leaves.
"Curse you Perry the platypus!!!"

The bird begins to open its beak showing a very sharp tongue at Irving.
"Oh no, Irving!" screams Katie.
The bird was about to stab Irving, when the light flashes in its face. It shrieks with pain and then it flies into what's left of the log wall. One of the logs falls on top of the bird, which then crushes it.
"Well, that was convenient," said Django.
Irving got back up and walked back towards the rest of the gang.
"That was way too close," said Irving.
"Like a mentioned before," said Dr. Hunt. "The future holds many surprises."
"Some unpleasant ones for that matter," said Holly.
"Well gang mission accomplished," said Phineas. "Now let's hurry back to the high school. We're running late to the football game."
Ferb then gets out his teleporter and teleported everyone to the high school, including Dr. Hunt.

9:30 p.m.
Danville High School

The game went on for a few hours and Danville seems to be tied with the visitor's team.
"Come on Buford," yelled Django.
"Let 'em have it buddy," yelled Baljeet.
Buford then kicks the ball right over the goal at the last second. The timer goes off and the home team won 20 to 19 on the score board. Everyone cheered.

9:35 p.m.

Everyone was now getting out of the bleachers.
"You were great Buford," said Phineas.
"You were amazing," said Baljeet.
"Thanks you guys," said Buford. "I shot a cave lion and won a football game in one day. Can this day get any more exciting?"
"Maybe," said Adyson who was standing right next to him.
Buford just gave a sheepish smile and put his arm around Adyson.
"Say you girls were pretty good yourselves," said Buford.
"Why thank you Buford," said Isabella who was standing next to Phineas. "We sure beat Cassandra and them."
They then notice Cassandra and her girls, Amy, Namie, Delilah, Abrianna, Cam, and Elaine, walk off being ticked at Isabella and them.
"Well, see you kids later," said Dr. Hunt. "I've enjoyed watching the game."
"Okay see you doc," said Phineas.
Everyone then headed on to their homes. Katie then sees Irving walking by and runs over to talk to him.
"Hey Irving," said Katie.
"Hey Katie," said Irving. "You girls did a bang up job out there."
"Thanks."
The two just stood in front of each other for a few seconds. Katie broke the silence.
"You know that was pretty scary, that future woodpecker was about to eat you."
"Yeah, well it's just another day facing with the anomaly and the creatures that it throws at us."
"You got that right?"
The two went silent again. Katie remembered the bet she made with Adyson earlier.
"Say Irving, can I ask you a silly question?"
"Sure Katie."
"Have you ever been kissed by a girl?"
Irving went quiet for a moment.
"Have I ever been kissed by a girl? No, I'm afraid I haven't."
"That's all I wanted to know."
Katie then did a most unexpected thing and kissed Irving right smack on the lips. Irving was surprised but then slowly wrapped his arms across Katie's waist. The two stood under a tree for a minute until they finally separated their lips.
"What was that for Katie?"
"I don't know exactly. I just felt like it I supposed. Why, you didn't like it?"
"No, I really did. It was my first kiss."
"That's good to here. Well, I'll see you tomorrow then maybe."
"Wait. Do you want me to take you home, so you won't have to walk by yourself?"
Katie was flattered by Irving's generosity.
"I would love that."
Irving then walked Katie home.

9:45 p.m.
Katie's House

"Thank you Irving, for everything today," said Katie.
"You are very welcome," said Irving. "Sweet dreams."
Irving then leaned down and kissed Katie on the lips for only a couple seconds.
"That was for kissing me."
Katie just blushed and went inside her home, while Irving just happily trotted back to his house thinking about Katie.

NEXT TIME

When an anomaly opens in the Danville Forest, the gang finds out that it leads into a future world and decides to go through. There they encounter the last primates on Earth as well as a pack of tall flightless flesh-eating birds.
