(Hilariously Non-Canon) A Platypus, a Pharmacist, and a Magician: Rise Shine
In another cartoon? Hm, I never watched many cartoons, though I did grow up on Ed Edd n Eddy, a bit of Spongebob, and of course Phineas & Fer- Lightbulb-Inator noise
At the Home of the Tri-state areas foremost child-inventors
"Alright Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!" said a boy with an orange shirt, red hair, a chipper personality and an oddly triangle-shaped head. If this was an normal episode of this show, you'd see what he, Phineas, and his brother Ferb were in fact going to do today, but unfortunately this writer does not want to expend the effort of doing so. Instead, turn your attention to their pet Platypus, Perry, a teal-furred mammal of normally not much action. From his wall eyed vacant stare, his simple attitude, and his propensity to wander off, most would think him an average pet. However, with his owners looking away, no doubt to build some amazing life changing contraption that will somehow fail to see itself to the end of the day, he stands up straight, his posture going from a mere animals to that of a highly trained Platypus of much more action, and don's his 1980's fedora, before slipping away through a secret passage on the side of the house. This is Agent P, a highly competent secret agent of the Organisation Without a Cool Acronym, O.W.C.A.
Underneath the house, in Agent P's secret base
The screen flashes on, and he is greeted by the aged visage of the leader of O.W.C.A, Major Monogram. "Your just on time Agent P. It appears Dr Doofenshmirtz has somehow yet again created a portal to another universe. Last time he did this, a far more successful version of himself was able to gain access to this world and attempt to take it over. Unlike the last time, however, this one connects to another multiverse entirely. Get in there, get anything from those worlds back through, and take it down." Agent P salutes his commanding officer, giving with of his characteristic chatter noises, before running towards one of the other pipes out of the base, ready to head out on his next mission.
"..Carl? Carl, he forgot to turn the screen off. Can- can you- alright, goo- STATIC"

🎵Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporate---d!🎵
This is why he notices the outlier of the current décor, a black top hat laying in the middle of the room. Sensing no danger, and most definitely not intending on getting himself caught so his Nemesis can talk about his tragic backstories to someone who cares, The iron willed agent approaches the inconspicuous head attire, and is (not) shocked when it leaps up of it's own accord, barrelling towards him and constricts him, in a way that resembles a rabbit coming out of a hat, though Agent R would be offended by the comparison. A gangly, slouched figure in a lab coat that makes him look like a pharmacist steps out from a conveniently shadowed corner of the room, his face as recognisable to Agent P as the face of his also unmentioned father.
"Ah, Perry the Platypus," began Dr Doofenshmirtz, his homely face adorned by a little-less-than-wicked smirk, "I'm glad you could come. And in a top hat too, your making me feel underdressed! However, this trap was not my idea. You see, after being yet again denied access from a Evil Scientist convention, I had an idea. If I could not be with the 'real' Supervillains, then I would simply find my own, from OTHER DIMENSIONS! In retrospect, I don't understand where the whole 'other dimensions' part of the idea came from, but I am glad that it did! After all, once I found an ancient magical dog shaped artifact, which is a whole other story I'm not going into right now, it allowed me to meet another esteemed evil-doer! Behold, Perry the Platypus, Presto and the Puppeteer!"
From another, also convenient shadowy corner of the lab, a young girl in a magicians outfit with a hand puppet shaped like a dog emerged, and bowed, before raising the hand puppet, which then introduced itself. "Greetings, Perry the Platypus. We have heard much about you from our new compatriot in carnage, Dr Doofenshmirtz. I am Presto, and this is the Puppeteer, my partner in crime. A pleasure to meet you! However, I am not the one starring in todays show! Puppeteer, if you would." As the girl nodded to her hand puppet ("Oh, hand PUPpet! I just got that!" said Dr Doofenshmirtz), Agent P wondered if he should tell them he had gotten out of the hat already. He was about to do so, but seeing the giant DRAGON that was standing a ways off to the side giving him a pointed look convinced him to just get back in the hat for now and pretend to still be stuck, and settle in for a monologue.
"You see Perry the Platypus, it all began when I was going to a magic show as a a little girl, where-" Perry really was paying attention, but he couldn't help but think to himself, that he was glad Dr Doofenshmirtz had gotten himself a friend. It would do him some good. Maybe he would keep enough of the new Inator the Dr had made for them to still talk to each other, even if they weren't in the same world anymore. "-and so, we became the Villains you see before you, Presto and the Puppeteer! Now, we, alongside the brilliant Dr Doofenshmirtz," "Aw, thank you!" "will be assembling a team of Supervillains, in order to bring a collapse of order to all the worlds we can! Huh, you were right Doof, that was therapeutic!" Well, that was the end of the backstory monologue, which meant it was almost time for the breakout.
One breakout, and one fight in which he fought his usual Nemesis, a little girl with a hand puppet, and a Dragon that he only managed to talk down through a series of quick witted words and some motorcycle-bound card games, and he had now launched both the Duo of Magicians and (somehow) their dragon back through the Other-World-Inator, which he had found out was on the balcony before he broke out, and decisively leapt forward, punching down a large blue and red striped button labelled 'Magical Self Destruct', before leaping backwards, as the machine rumbled, followed by it bursting into a large yet oddly harmless explosion.
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" exclaimed both Presto and his assistant, just before the Inator was engulfed in flame.
This sentiment was echoed by Dr Doofenshmirtz a moment later. "Curse you, Perry the Platypus! Without that artifact, it will be impossible to contact Presto and the Puppeteer!" Agent P, however, simply reached under his hat, and out from it he pulled the aforementioned artifact, having retrieved it way earlier in the fight, leaving Dr Doofenshmirtz flabbergasted as he left it on the floor, before leaping off the side of the balcony, pulling out a hang-glider from nowhere, and flying away on the wind. As he did so, he could have sworn he heard 'Thank you, Perry the Platypus' being whispered. He, for one, was just glad Dr Doofenshmirtz had gotten some more people that actually understood him in his life.
A week later, and Iskander could see the Puppeteer talking amicably with the strange pharmacist. Honestly, it's nice to see her have some people that understood her in her life. That furred creature with nerves of steel was correct, the shared failure was only pulling them together stronger.
Authors note: Ok, I was trying to get Johanna more of a role in this, but the dynamic duo of Doof and Agent P just ripped the plot away from me, and just hogged the limelight for a good chunk more of this than I was expecting. Doof literally kidnapped my writing.
