Scooby-Doo and the Mistaken Machine

Chapter 4


Scooby wasn't watching where he was going and crashed into the others, sending everyone tumbling. They stopped at the edge of a cliff. The ground broke beneath Scooby, and Shaggy grabbed his paw. Everyone else grabbed Shaggy and helped him pull Scooby up. They changed direction. When Nibot came closer, Chillers jumped in front of it, ready to fight, but Scooby grabbed her. Everyone soon hid behind some trees to catch their breath, but Nibot caught up to them. Scooby and Chillers went one way and Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma went the other way. Nibot went after Scooby and Chillers. Chillers tripped and then dodged Nibot's attacks. Scooby ran at Nibot, growling, but it shot lasers from its eyes. Scooby yelped and jumped out of the way. Then, he gasped as Nibot charged right at Chillers…

Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma had stopped when they heard a scream. "That sounds like Chillers!" Daphne said.

"She's in trouble!" Velma said. They all rushed to Chillers and found her lying on the ground, injured. Scooby stood nearby, shaking. "Chillers!" Velma cried out, "Are you all right?" She ran over to Chillers and looked at her with concern. Chillers only groaned in response.

"Scooby, did you see who did this?" Fred asked Scooby.

"R-Ribot!" Scooby said.

Velma carefully lifted Chillers off the ground. "Guys, Chillers is badly injured," she said, "We have to get her to a doctor immediately!"

At the vet's office, a doctor examined Chillers. "Hmm…" he said. Then he bandaged her injuries. "Chillers has suffered some injuries, but our tests showed nothing serious. Just let her rest for a while, and she'll be fine."

When the vet left the room, Fred said, "Gang, now we're really going to get serious about this mystery-Nibot has injured our friend! Let's see if we can find any clues around Prof. Builtech's workshop."

Velma stood beside the table Chillers was lying on. "As much as I'd like to help you guys, I think I should stay with Chillers since she's my best friend."

"Ri rill roo!" Scooby said, running up beside her. He wanted to keep Chillers company. Fred nodded his approval as he walked away with Shaggy and Daphne.

"I can't believe my own robot would harm my friend…" Velma said sadly. Then, Chillers opened her eyes and groaned softly. "Chillers, how are you feeling?" Velma asked.

Chillers looked up but saw three Velmas. "Velma…why do I see three of you?"

"You were hurt pretty badly, but you're going to be okay. Just relax." Soon Chillers's vision focused and she lifted her head. "Fresh air might help you feel better, Chillers," Velma said, "Scooby and I can take you outside if you like." Chillers purred as Velma carried her outside behind Scooby.

Chillers found that being outside made her feel a little better and cheerier; but it wasn't long before Nibot came from behind Scooby, Velma, and her. "Rook rout!" Scooby said, and Velma and he ran, but Velma was slowed down by her arms being full, and Nibot was catching up to her. "Rurry!" Scooby said. He jumped over a fallen tree branch. Velma also jumped over it, but couldn't land as well while carrying Chillers. She looked back at Nibot, then quickly got up and ran away. Scooby, Chillers, and she collided with a janitor who was entering the building.
