One Final Search
Chapter 2
From a control room on top of the robot's head, the professor was controlling the robot. He laughed evilly. "Meet my powerful robot! With it, I will get Winter back!"
"What do we do now?" Daphne said.
"Run again!" Fred answered. Chillers jumped back onto the floor and everyone ran away. Soon Chillers used a beam of ice to freeze the robot and everyone came to a long hallway with windows on the walls. A gap on each side of the hallway led to another floor far below. "Don't look down, be careful, and let's see if we can find a way out of here," Fred told the others.
Everyone walked through the hallway. Velma noticed a strange design on the floor, and Chillers and she stopped. "What's this on the floor?" she said, looking down at it.
Suddenly, that part of the floor fell out. "Chee!" Chillers cried. Look out! But it was too late. The floor piece was falling and taking Velma with it! However, Velma stopped falling after a moment. She gasped in surprise when she saw who had grabbed her hand. It was Chillers! Though much smaller than Velma, Chillers was determined to save her friend. She pulled and pulled until Velma was back on the ground. Then she fell over, panting and exhausted.
Velma picked up Chillers. "Are you okay, Chills?" she asked.
"Chee," Chillers replied. Just tired.
"Thanks. You saved my life!"
The robot rushed into the room. "You can't escape me! Winter is mine!" the professor said.
The robot grabbed Chillers with one of its claws. "Chee!" she said.
"Chillers!" Velma said.
Ruh-oh!" Scooby said. He ran up to the robot, growling. He noticed a rope on the robot's lower body and had an idea. He grabbed the rope in his teeth and ran in circles around the robot, tying it up.
"Hey! Stop that!" the professor said. Scooby pulled the rope, causing the robot to spin in circles. Chillers went flying away from it, and Scooby caught her on his back. They looked back at the spinning robot and laughed, and Chillers hugged Scooby.
The robot stopped spinning, so Scooby and Chillers ran away. Scooby soon tried to stop, but crashed into Shaggy. They both slid into a switch on the wall, opening a small tunnel. "Huh?" they said.
"Nice going, guys! You found a secret tunnel!" Fred told them, "Let's go in."
"But we don't know what's in that tunnel!" Daphne said.
"Yeah, and like, it's dark and spooky in there!" Shaggy added.
"It's better than being caught by that robot!" Velma said, "Come on!"
Everyone crawled through the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a room. "Hey…it's a room!" Fred said.
"It looks like some kind of control room," Velma said, noticing two large computers in the room. She went over to one of them. "I wonder what these computers are for?" Suddenly, a white digital barrier surrounded the computer, pushing Velma back. The computer glowed white for a moment.
Scooby jumped in Shaggy's arms. "L-like, what was that?" Shaggy said.
Then, Chillers jumped in Scooby's arms when an alarm blared. "Something tells me we're not welcome in this room!" Fred said.
Velma went over to the second computer and began pushing buttons on it. "I'll try to cancel the alarm." Soon, the alarm stopped. "There!" Velma said.
