Prologue: Jimmy Neutron and the Xyzcek Aden

Jimmy opened his eyes slowly. For a while, all that filled his vision was light. He squinted, as his eyes struggled to adjust. Everything was white. He took a deep breath, and tried to stand up.

Slowly, his vision seemed to return. The white began to give way to color. Shapes began to form in the mess, and the haze slowly began to disappear. He looked down at his feet, and felt a shiver run down his spine. He couldn't see what he was standing on. All he could see below, was a massive black abyss- decorated by a few tiny stars. Above him, the sky was bright blue- and covered with massive clouds of what was likely to be billions of multi-colored stars, all twisted and churned around each other like a cosmic painting on an incredible scale.

"Okay..." muttered Jimmy. "Where am I?"

"Jimmy Neutron."

Jimmy felt his heart skip a beat. That voice...

The space in front of him began to pulse. Slowly, it began to bend and shape itself- until finally taking the form of a person. A little girl, with paper white hair, and dull pink eyes. She flashed him a familiar smile. Behind her, two more shapes began to appear. Two giant serpents, covered in thousands of tiny golden plates. Each one of them had what seemed like hundreds of different colored eyes, running down two sides of their bodies. They opened their mouths slowly, revealing a few rows of clear, triangular teeth.

"Calm down." the girl growled. The serpents glanced at each other, and withdrew.

Jimmy took a deep breath. He had been expecting this. She had led him there after all. Still, he couldn't suppress that deep feeling of shock that burst in his chest. It was really her.

Jimmy gulped.

"Hello there, Jimmy Neutron. Do you remember me?" she asked.

Jimmy nodded, slowly. "Yes... Yes, I do." he said.

"Do you know why your here?"

Jimmy thought for a moment. Everything leading up to this had been kind of vague- and the bigger picture still seemed like a mystery to him. Even still- the answer seemed obvious.

"To save the universe."

"Good answer! Last question. What's my name, Jimmy?"

"...Sally. You, are Sally Proton."
