The sky was a deep shade of purple signalling the arrival of dawn. The children had already set everything up with their most valuable weapon being the cannon. Coraline walked past Wybie as he was on his bike before she flipped his mask down over his face with a smirk and sat down behind him. Neil was sitting behind Norman on his own bike while Dipper was getting inside the somewhat repaired and modified golf cart. Mabel eventually got inside herself, sitting next to Dipper and having Flowey on her lap, and lastly Raz and Lili hovered down using the telekinetic bubbles underneath their feet next to them. "This is stupid." Flowey grumbled. "Honestly...recapping on us fighting a psycho dentist that has a giant monster for a pet and small robot brain crabs...yeah it kinda is." Dipper remarked in agreement. "Trust me when I say that Loboto isn't the craziest thing I've run into." Raz said to them. "Given that he's a dentist that likes to pull out brains...I'll believe it." Norman also said with Mabel grinning, "Well, since we're all gonna see the dentist...I guess we better 'brace' ourselves! Zing!" She quipped while showing her own braces with almost all the others giving her shrill and annoyed looks while groaning from how terrible that was, "Haha I just got that!...I think..?" Neil questioned dumbly, "Can we all just get this over before Mabel cracks another stupid joke!?" Flowey exclaimed. "Too late! Actually it's not that late to go see the dentist cause it's only...tooth hurty! Zing!" Mabel quipped once again, "Mabel...it's not even two thirty." Coraline corrected her with an annoyed glance. "OH MY GOD PLEASE JUST GO!" The flower cried out in fury and they all moved ahead hastily with the twins riding the golf cart, Coraline and Wybie along with Neil and Norman riding their bikes, and Raz and Lili hovering on the telekinetic bubbles underneath them next to the kids, heading off in order to face Loboto. Two hours later, the children had already made it to the town, though there was not one single sign of life to be seen, which is obvious given that it was quite late and was already approaching dawn. Though there were the occasional critters rummaging in the trash bins by the alleyways like raccoons and cats. One odd sight showed the raccoon looked to be exchanging some garbage with a rat as though they were reenacting a trade off between two criminals, especially since the rat and the raccoon were giving off shady looks. The two animals jumped in alarm and quickly scurried off right when Coraline and the others were pedaling, driving, and hovering respectively past them. Wybie moved his mask up to look around a bit nervously along with Coraline though she was more cautious rather than nervous. The twins were driving slowly a little as Dipper was examining the surroundings along with Mabel, when she noticed that Flowey seemed to be on edge. She smiled and tenderly stroked the top of his head in comfort. While normally he would be annoyed, Flowey allowed it this time and would try his best to hide his comfort, instead only pouting a little in chagrin.
Dipper rose one eyebrow and squinted his eyes out in front to see before turning to the Psychonauts in training, "Raz? Lili? Anything?" He asked them as the two were using their telepathy to find any trace of Loboto, however, they were finding it to be difficult given that Loboto uses the shower cap to block any attempts of a psychic invading his mind. "I'm sensing something but...I can't pinpoint the exact location." Lili responded as she had one hand on her left temple, "Did you try that Bunyip thing?" Norman asked as well with Raz then answering, "Reading an animal's mind is...pretty messy. But even then we still don't have a clear image on where they are." Coraline rolled her eyes, "Fat load of help you two are." She told them mockingly. "Why don't you try being extrasensory? Because you're just being an extra-" Lili was about to step up the insult game until Raz quickly cut her off, "Okay! Look, can we just fight the mad scientist instead of just fighting each other for once?" He suggested as he was honestly getting tired of all this bickering, but given that Lili and Coraline have really bad blood, it was hard. "I don't exactly see you pulling your weight, either." Coraline told Raz who shot her a glare. "Death by idiots. I always knew I'd go down like this." Flowey remarked in aggravation. "Maybe we can try asking for directions!" Neil spoke up with Flowey giving him a look, "Ask who? This place is ghost town!" He replied while gesturing to the emptiness of the slumbering town. Neil then had a thoughtful look for a moment until his face lit up when Flowey mentioned the word 'ghost' and promptly turned to Norman, shaking his shoulders a little in excitement. "Dude! I got an idea!" Neil whispered happily and he was about to address the matter to the rest of the kids only for Norman to quickly stop him, and shook his head in refusal much to Neil's confusion. Norman then slowly turned back and quite bizarrely, he saw what shockingly looked to be a multitude of ghosts roaming around the area they were in. They resembled ordinary people but had a phantasmic green aura and appearance around them like popular ghost Slimer from Ghost Busters. Surprisingly, none of the other kids noticed them at all, and were even still bickering with each other while the ghosts moved past them like they were nothing. However, the only one who could see them, was Norman himself given that his eyes were darting around the area, following the ghosts that were wandering around the place, conversing with each other or just staying in one spot where they presumably died in their past life. The ghosts even had a few objects lodged into their bodies further showing how they died as well. Norman then looked up to see one ghost hovering down next to him, and this ghost looked to be a girl and one that had an attire that came from the 1700's. She was a little girl no older than Norman, with long blackish brown hair, pale blue eyes, pale skin, thick eyebrows like Norman, and wears a dark grey dress with a white collar and red shoes. "You found him?" Norman asked in anticipation and the little girl nodded with a smile before she pointed over to the North-East, where the Gravity Falls Junkyard. Norman smiled and turned to her, "Thanks a ton." He thanked her and she returned the smile.
Dipper sighed, "Come on, guys. If I were a crazy psycho dentist where would I hide?" He queried. "Um...maybe like...an abandoned clinic or something?" Wybie replied in uncertainty. "Nah. That's way too obvious and Loboto may be crazy but he's not stupid...for the most part at least." Coraline stated as she rubbed her head. "Hey, guys! I think it's over there!" Norman called out from behind a little pointing to the North-East with the kids all turning to him in surprise at that, "What makes you so sure?" Dipper asked him with a curious raised brow, "Oh, that's cause a g-" Neil was about to reveal until Norman clamped his hand over his mouth to silence him quickly, "J-Just a hunch." He replied instead all while Flowey narrowed his eyes towards him, "Hmm." Dipper turned to Coraline, "Coraline? What do you think?" He waited for her to say with the blue haired girl shrugging her shoulders once, "I think somewhere is better than anywhere at this point. Let's roll." She responded with her and Wybie then pedaling over to the junkyard along with the twins and the others. Lili though gave Coraline a glare while she retreated until she noticed Raz preparing to go after them when she stopped him by clutching his arm, "Whoa, where're you going?" Lili questioned him oddly with Raz giving her an odd look, "Um, with them? So we can stop Loboto?" Raz replied with some confusion. "Seriously? Raz, we're Psychonauts. We don't need a bunch of normals to crum up our mission." Lili said to him bitterly. Lili, I know you have major beef with Coraline, and the beef is so big that I don't think it'll fit on any grill at this point..heh one point for me on that, but I'd rather work with them than against them. And besides, we still have to bring Loboto in or else we'll be taken out of the field or...or worse...GROUNDED." Raz said to her morbidly as he shuddered at thought of being grounded, "I don't wanna be grounded as much as the next person because I want to keep a perfect record of my stats...but those numbskulls have caused nothing but trouble e-" Lili began to say until Raz interrupted her, "No, Lili! You have!" He corrected her sternly much to her shock until he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Here's the thing about your perfect stat record...you try way too hard to keep it perfect and that means thinking that you can handle the big things by yourself while I'm left at the side always getting into trouble." Raz began to say to her when Lili stepped up and poked his chest hard making him flinch, "Oh, and does that make you Mister Experience all of a sudden?! You're also trying so hard to be an official Psychonaut agent that you get cocky and careless to the point where you put the both of us into more danger than we can handle! And I just so happen to be the one to always pull you out of a trouble. And by the way, none of that would be happening if you just stop using your mind and start using your brain." Lili shot back at him with Raz preparing to say something back until he was stumped at that statement, "Wait...what?" Lili groaned and slapped her gloved palms against her face, "Oh for Pete's sake...think before you act, lamebrain! If we're gonna do this then we gotta do it by the book." She clarified with furrowed brows, "Lili come on we can't always do it by the book. I mean...sometimes you gotta improvise when the situation calls for it." Raz said with Lili punching his arm, "Ow!" He cried out in pain. "We tried that back in the forest and look where that got us! -sigh- Just...try not to jump in all the time, okay?" She requested before walking away from him. Raz glanced to the side a little in shame before he swallowed his regrets and followed her.
The children eventually made their way to the junkyard, driving or pedaling through some narrow pathways while passing by towers and mountains of totaled and trashed cars. They soon then made it to looked to be the center point of the junkyard which was wide and circular with mountains of cars around along with numerous other pieces of junk. "A junkyard...how quaint." Flowey commented in a witty manner as Mabel stepped out of the cart along with Dipper while Raz and Lili caught up by hovering down using the bubbles. "Well, it's not exactly the first time a crazy robot building genius has come here." Dipper remarked when Mabel then said, "Or lived here." She winked with a sly grin. "What were you expecting? Doctor Loboto. Hidden junkyard lab. Brain robots and a giant Frankenstein monster? Clues." Lili said sarcastically as she walked over with Raz behind her. "Yo! Loboto! Quit hiding! Come quietly and no one gets hurt!" He suddenly yelled out warning the doctor startling everyone. Lili then smacked the back of his head, "And you couldn't have come quietly yourself, bird brain!?" She exclaimed angrily. "Oh, great. I thought I smelled imminent doom." Coraline noted in annoyance as she walked over, "Welp, if he's here...then our positions are pretty much a dead give away. And so are we if we're not ready. Wybie gimme a hand with this thing." Coraline said as she stopped by the golf cart. The rest of the kids walked over with Lili punching Raz in the arm again, aggravated by his action, with the rest of the kids giving him looks as they too were not happy by that. Coraline in the meantime were setting up the net cannon with Wybie on the roof of the cart. "At least I'll die fighting." Neil proclaimed casually when Norman turned him, "Neil, I'd really rather not have anyone die at all." He pleaded as the kids all stood by the cart, "With the way things are going I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you." Flowey said to him pessimistically as he was carried by Mabel. Coraline jumped down from the cart when things were done and dusted her hands. "And now?" Dipper wondered as the kids all looked at each other, "Now...we wait." Norman replied and it was not long until they heard movement causing the kids to instantly tense up. The movement sounded like something rather small was prowling through the junkyard as they heard pieces of debris and trash being moved aside or falling all around them like they were surrounded making them all the more cautious and alarmed. The children looked around, their eyes darting, with some of them swallowing any rise of panic. Though Flowey shook a little and hid in his pot with his head peeking out to look by the edge and Wybie held onto Coraline in fear, that is until she pushed him off in annoyance. Coraline looked over to Mabel and bobbed her head towards the cart, giving her directions with Mabel nodding in understanding. She rushed over to the cart while Coraline assumed a battle station, "Alright, people. Put on your mean faces." She told everyone with Wybie hiding a little behind her and having a socket wrench for a weapon despite the distressed look on his face. Raz and Lili stood out in front of Norman and Neil, preparing themselves as well with battle poses.
Mabel set Flowey on top of the roof as she climbed after him and went behind the cannon. "Mabel, remember to fire that only when you see the Bunyip. Got it?" Dipper advised her with Mabel saluting, "Aye, aye." She complied with a grin. "Giving Mabel the rights to use that thing isn't really the best idea you had in mind." Flowey proclaimed to Coraline who eyed him, "You're one to talk. You're just a flower so I don't see you doing anything productive." She shot back at him. "Says you. All you're doing is just barking your mouth off to people. Which by the way is my job so I don't appreciate having someone steal my thund-" Flowey continued to say bitterly until he was cut off by Mabel shouting, "TASTE IT!" And she shot the net from the cannon startling and surprising everyone else. The Jub Jub laced net flew across the air and ensnared a shape that was crawling along one of the cars. The creature that was caught in the net fell down the ground gently, "I got em!" Mabel proclaimed in cheer with the rest of the kids looking over in delight and glee, however, their expressions dropped considerably when they noticed that whatever Mabel shot at was far too small, though one could not blame her since it was dark here. "Whoa, that Bun thing lost a lot of weight." Neil commented naively as the kids all approached whatever was inside the net. Mabel was the first to approached, leaned down and slowly remove the net while the others were behind, curious but still on guard, notably Coraline and Dipper. Mabel tossed the net aside and saw what she caught, but only instead of terror, Mabel let out a gasp of adoration with large glittery eyes before she quickly picked up the small creature and hugged it. "Oh my gosh! Hi there you cute little dinkle bottom!" She greeted what was actually a beaver, that was paralyzed by the Jub Jub plants though Mabel did not notice, "False alarm, guys! It's just an adorable junkyard beaver!" Mabel said to them as she giggled and held the beaver while Coraline only had a look of exasperation along with Flowey, Wybie was uncertain on what to make of the scene, Dipper did not have that much of a reaction given that it was Mabel and he knew his sister better than anyone, while the rest were just confused. "Your sister's weird." Raz commented towards Dipper, "Understatement of the year." The Pines boy remarked with a smirk when Coraline turned to him, "If she gets bit we're not taking her to get a rabies shot." She said to him with a frown but that only made Dipper chuckle, "Oh don't worry. She's had 'em." He assured her while giving his sister an amused look. Norman walked over to Coraline who was still aggravated that they wasted the cannon fire, "Well, at least we know the cannon works." He said trying to lift her spirits up but to no avail as Coraline only rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah." She replied before Dipper sighed, "Okay. Load it back up." He said as Coraline walked over to Mabel who still gushed over the junkyard beaver, that is until Coraline strongly tugged the net off from underneath her, causing her to trip and fall on her rear. The beaver managed to escape her hold, the effects of the Jub Jub plant slowly subsiding. "How 'bout next you see something the size of a horse you can shoot-" Coraline started to tell Mabel only to come to an abrupt halt when the ground began to quake slightly.
Mabel and Coraline blinked with wide eyes, before turning to each other in apprehension, then tried to keep their balance as the ground experienced a tremor that only increased in intensity with each passing moment. Flowey was almost knocked off the roof of the cart until Wybie caught him in time as the two of them had fearful expressions, while Dipper and the others looked around in caution and on edge. The children all jumped when they heard the familiar but terrifying roar that was an amalgamation of several animals. They all promptly turned to where they heard the roar with eyes wide as dinner plates and having panicked looks on their faces. Just then a colossal shape plowed through two car towers, effectively knocking them down and causing some to fly across the air. Mabel yelped as one of the cars nearly fell down on them only to narrowly miss as the car itself crashed a few feet next to them. Mabel hid behind Coraline a little with the taller girl looking to be quite nervous. The shape landed down with a strong thud and slowly began to loom over the children. It was the Bunyip, though this time, Loboto had implanted a few upgrades to it. Its clawed hands were replaced with mechanical clawed hands, its tail had a hook by the tip, its right eye had a contraption that was green while the left was red, mimicking Loboto's own contraptions for eyes. The Bunyip let out another chilling roar, when eventually, the doctor himself walked over by the beast's side with his eerie maniacal grin. He stopped next to the Bunyip's head and chuckled, "Did somebody call for a doctor?" He wittily wondered darkly to the distressed children and flower. "Domo arigoto...Doctor Loboto.." Coraline managed to crack but in an apprehensive tone. The Bunyip let out a deep snarl as it took a step forward menacingly all while the kids stood away anxiously. "My, my, look what we have here, my pet! A tiny little cavalry and their tiny toy car." Loboto mockingly remarked with Raz then having a stern expression and stepped up, "It's over, Loboto! We've got you outnumbered eight to two. You might as well just give up while you still can." He declared strongly but Loboto only laughed in amusement, "Outnumbered you say? Well, considering that I did a few modifications on my pet...I'd wager that I not only have you out-muscled." He said before snapping his fingers when suddenly, an armada of the robotic brain crabs all crawled out from their hiding spots within the section of the junkyard they were in. The crabs all surrounded the kids who were further distressed by this, "But I have outnumbered your own numbers! Hahaha!" Loboto laughed madly. "We're doomed." Flowey whimpered when Coraline quickly turned to Wybie and Flowey who were by the cannon the cart's roof. She swiftly threw the net over to them, "GUYS! CATCH!" She exclaimed as the net flew over to them, unfortunately, it was snatched by one of the crabs as the droid leaped over and caught the net, then landing to the ground before crawling away with it.
"No! The net!" Dipper yelled in apprehension. "How cute!" Loboto mocked before he commanded the Bunyip to lunge at them, Coraline gasped and quickly tackled Mabel to the ground by the side in evasion with the two girls grunting as they dodged the Bunyip's attack. However, once the beast landed it quickly turned once, swinging its tail with a roar. Dipper and Norman ducked with a scream, only for the tail to hit the cart by the side, knocking it over along with Wybie and Flowey. Wybie fell to the floor with a pained grunt, until he gasped a little when he heard Flowey screaming as he was falling only to catch him in time in both hands while on the ground. "Well...so much for that." Wybie remarked with a wince as Neil helped him up, "Don't beat yourself up about it." He comforted him as he brushed his back while Wybie held Flowey. "As much as I would love to take my time with you brats. I don't exactly have all night so...Craboids! Get them!" Loboto commanded as the crab droids all began to converge on the children. "Raz! Quick! The EMP!" Lili shouted as she used her powers to fire a PSI-blast at one of the attacking crab drones knocking it backward. "Got it!" Raz nodded as he quickly reached in his bag only for him to be snatched by the Bunyip's hooked tail with an alarmed shout, "RAZ!" Lili exclaimed in shock. "Not so fast, Aquato!" Loboto proclaimed with a wide demented grin as he now rode on top of the Bunyip. Razputin struggled greatly only for the EMP grenade to accidentally fall out of his bag and onto the ground. "Woops! There goes your all preparation!" Loboto mocked with a chortle when the beast tossed him over as the young Psychonaut yelled in distress. However, he was quickly saved by Lili who caught him with a large telekinetic hand, "That's one point for me." Lili remarked with a smile as she slowly set him down, "Thanks, Lili." He thanked her with a smile. "Hey! Lovebirds!" Coraline yelled out sparking their attention with wide eyes. "I hate to interrupt your little Romeo and Juliet moment!" Coraline shouted as she ran for her life before jumping to the side from an oncoming overhead clawed swing from the Bunyip, the beast's paw smashing into the ground. "But you mind actually saving OUR lives while you're at it!?" Coraline exclaimed before she rolled over in evasion to the side from the monster's hooked tail smashing down where she was. Meanwhile, the crab that has the net in its possession was being chased by Dipper who desperately tried to get it back only to be tackled to the ground by one of the crab droids with a grunt. Dipper yelled in fear as he kicked some of them off while grabbing and tossing one over away only for more to envelop him. "DIPPER!" Mabel yelled out in fear before she instantly ran after him, "Mabel wait!" Coraline tried to stop her but it was in vain as she was then knocked to the ground before being dragged by three crab droids with Coraline shrieking in fright. "Jonsie!" Wybie exclaimed in extreme concern only to jump when the Bunyip and Loboto approached with a maddening cackle, "This is what happens when meddling kids like you think you're ready for adulthood!" Loboto remarked with the Bunyip letting out a chilling roar.
Wybie, holding Flowey, along with Neil slowly backed away from the Bunyip as Flowey was panting a little heavily, like he was hyperventilating. His eyes darted around, he looked to see Dipper fighting off the crab droids that tackled him to the ground with Mabel doing her best to get them off only to have one latch itself on her back and knock her backward. Coraline was being dragged across the floor as she tried to kick the robot drones that were pulling her. Raz was trying to go after the EMP but each time he would have to fight off one of the crab droids along with Lili. Just then, images began to flash through his mind. He remembered the day Mabel brought him up to the surface. She introduced him to her home, her friends, her family, her lifestyle. Moreover, everything that she and Dipper live with was now his own as well. As he was now part of the family. It was a new start for him, a new chapter, and one where he could maybe find redemption. But now, seeing them all in peril, reminded him of a certain event. One where his entire world was torn apart and became Hell from here on out. He felt like this was going to be a repeat. No, enough was enough. He will not allow a horrific event like that to ever occur again. This was a new chance for him in life and he was NOT going to let it slip away that easily from him. "No...not again...NO AGAIN!" Flowey hollered before he summoned his friendliness pellets and shot them at the Bunyip which struck its robotic eyes. The Bunyip instantly retracted backwards with wails of pain and surprise, knocking the doctor off as well. "Ow! What? No!" Loboto exclaimed in anger as the beast was swiping at its eyes. Wybie and Neil looked over in bewilderment at what just happened before the two slowly looked at him as he panted heavily, "I...didn't know you could do that." Wybie said in extreme shock, "There's a lot of things I'd rather you not know about me. Now quit staring and do something, you idiots!" Flowey exclaimed, "O-oh, right, right!" Wybie replied as he ran over to Coraline who was kicking off more of the crab droids with grunts and shouts. It was not until one of the robots jumped at her face only to be swatted away by Wybie using his socket wrench and then kicking away another robot. A third one tried to attack only for Flowey to shoot it with a friendliness pellet. Coraline blinked and stared with her mouth open, "Jonsie? Y-you okay?" Wybie asked her in concern as he aided her up, "I'm fine...but...dang Wyborn. Those were some sweet swinging skills." Coraline complimented him with an impressed expression earning a fluster from the mechanic, "H-heh well...I did have some help from Flowey." He said as he held the flower's power with his other hand, "Who knew a nerd and flower could kick major butt?" Coraline remarked with a smirk. "Apparently if you're in a weird movie or video game...maybe a fanfiction story." Flowey responded in a witty manner.
Neil rushed over and pulled the crab droid off of Mabel's back and smashed to the ground allowing Mabel to whack the others off of her with Norman also coming to Dipper's aid and kicking off one of the crabs, then pulling off another and smashing it to the ground before stomping on another with Dipper managing to get the rest off of him. "You guys all right?" Norman asked them in worry as he supported him up with Neil aiding Mabel while Coraline, Wybie with Flowey rushed over, "W-we're fine. Thanks for the help, man." Dipper expressed his gratitude with a smile and nod which Norman returned, "Um, guys! Incoming Japanese giant cyborg monster!" Mabel exclaimed as she pointed over to the attacking Bunyip. However, just as it swung its claw down, it only struck a bright orange but transparent barrier. The kids were all surprised as well as relieved, and looked to their sides to see that it was both Raz and Lili holding up the barrier using their telekinesis, but seemed to struggle a little given how strong the Bunyip is. The beast continued to plow through the barrier with Raz and Lili's arms visibly trembling at the physical force of the monster as they grit their teeth. "Holy ravioli! He's gone mega Tokyo crazy mode!" Mabel proclaimed as Wybie handed Flowey over to her and held the flower close. Norman was startled to see the rest of the crab robots all crawling around the dome shield that was protecting them all as they too tried to penetrate the barrier, "Um, excuse me? Unless I'm mistaken it's me and Raz keeping you all alive right now!" Lili remarked with Raz looking over to Coraline and the others, "Go on and do something! Anytime now, guys!" Raz urged as well with him continuing to struggle to hold up the barrier. Dipper then turned to Coraline along with Norman and Neil. Coraline noticed this and was befuddled at why they were also looking over to her whenever they arrive to a decision or to come up with a strategy, "W-what? What?! Why do you guys keep asking me?!" Coraline questioned as Mabel went over to her, "Because you're commando boss lady! Duh!" She responded in a matter of factly. "Wha- No, wait a sec, I-" Coraline stuttered a little for a proper answer to that, "You've been making the calls from day one, Jonsie. You're the most controlling." Wybie proclaimed with Norman adding, "And the oldest!" Along with Neil saying, "And the loudest." And thirdly with Flowey, "And the most annoying." With the last one being Dipper, "And...you're honestly doing pretty okay to me." He finished as Coraline blinked in surprise and bewilderment at the comments she is receiving. She never intended to be the 'leader' of this small little gang. Sure, she is bossy but she is only thirteen years old, those do not exactly count for leadership material. However, seeing that they always turned to her when it comes to making a plan, Coraline sighed deeply and conceded since this is what it has come to, "Alright. Fine." She then looked up with a stern expression along with the twins and Flowey as they were ready for whatever Coraline was planning for them to do in order for this to succeed and allow them to make it through the night without losing a limb or two.
"First thing's first...we need to take down that Bunyip thing, but we can't without the net. And that's where you come in Neil." Coraline began to say directing the command towards Neil, "Go after that brain crab that's got the net." Neil raised his hand a little, "Just so you know, if I have an asthma attack, my medical details are written on the inside of my shirt." He commented with the blue haired girl rolling her eyes and turning to Wybie. "Wybie, get that gun loose." Coraline said to Wybie with the boy smiling confidently and twirled his socket wrench only to drop it before quickly picking it back up, "Y-you got it, Jonsie." He replied trying to keep his cool. "Mabel, and you and me are gonna provoke the crud out of Loboto and Perry the Platypus over there. It's already blind so it'll be pretty hard for it to hit us. Loud, obnoxious, and irritating. Shouldn't be too hard, right?" Coraline said to her with a smirk with Mabel grinning in anticipation and shook her button themed sweater in response much to Flowey's annoyance. "Flowey, you're gonna be with Wybie but acting as cover fire. What're those things you shoot out called?" Coraline then asked the sentient golden flower, "They're pellets...they used to be friendly but they're far from it." Flowey remarked with a small passive grin. "Good. That's just what we need. You'll provide cover fire for Wybie and Neil. Can you manage it?" Coraline continued to say to him with Flowey's grin becoming rather dark, "If it means I finally get to shoot things then heck yeah." He responded in excitement for once though mainly at the prospect of using his friendliness pellets. "Dipper. Norman. You guys are gonna keep the rest of the Franken-seafood off of us while we're distracting Loboto. Think you can handle it?" Coraline asked them with Norman rubbing the back of his neck in slight uncertainty, "Um...well..yeah I guess." He replied in small hesitance but he is willing to help his friends regardless. "Alright. But we're gonna need some fire power to really go to town on that thing." Coraline then turned to Raz and Lili who returned the glance, "Raz, we're gonna need your help in majorly putting the hurt on this thing...and Lili? You'll get the EMP." The two junior Psychonauts furrowed their brows but nodded once in response with Coraline returning the nod. She was about to advance until Dipper held her arm, "Wait...Coraline...are you sure this is a good idea?" He questioned her with some doubt behind his voice. "No. But I wanted adventure...and I sure as heck got it." Coraline replied as she turned her glare over towards Loboto along with the rest of the kids as they all prepared themselves.
Mabel gave Flowey to Wybie who held the flower in one hand with the socket wrench in the other. "Shoot em real good, cowboy." Mabel winked towards Flowey who could not help but smirk. Mabel took out the burnt pant with Dipper adjusting his cap with a strong look. "Let's do this!" Coraline yelled as she tensed her shoulders with Raz and Lili shooting the barrier outward like a shock wave that knocked the Bunyip and the crab drones away. Wybie instantly ran over to the heavily damaged golf cart while he carried Flowey, however, it was not long until some of the crabs scurried after him and leaped only for Wybie to whack them away with his socket wrench until he reached the golf cart, "You sure you got me covered?" Wybie nervously asked Flowey, "Put me down and we'll see if any brains are lost." The flower responded and that did not ease Wybie's anxiousness though he trusted the flower regardless. He set Flowey down before he began to work on loosening the cannon from the cart while Flowey was on the look out for any approaching crab drone. The Bunyip was already getting up until Loboto was hit with a few buttons being tossed at him by Mabel, "Hey, jerkwad! Where'd they teach you to make robo-monsters? In...uh...loser crazy scientist...school?" Mabel attempted an insult with Loboto growling in anger before commanding the Bunyip to attack by shooting its hooked tail at Mabel who gasped only for Coraline to jump in and whack the hooked end of the tail away with a crowbar. Mabel grinned along with Coraline before the two bumped fists and sprinted over towards the Bunyip which roared and lunged at the two girls who quickly jumped out of the way from both sides in time. Coraline rolled along the floor, only to hop back from the Bunyip's tail smashing down on where she was then roll over to the side from another tail strike. All this while the Bunyip attempt to bite at Mabel who quickly jumped away and smashed the burnt pan on top of the beast's head with a shout. However, this only served to aggravate the creature rather than harm it. The Bunyip roared in fury before it swiped at Mabel only for the girl to duck in time with a yelp, before then was knocked back from an attempted evasion of the Bunyip's clawed hand smashing down the ground. It nearly struck Mabel until Raz came in at the last second, conjuring a telekinetic fist, rearing back and letting it sail with it hitting the Bunyip straight in the face, knocking it backward with a pained shriek. "Whoa...that was awesome!" Mabel yelled in admiration and glee. "I know." Raz agreed proudly before he lifted some debris with his telekinesis and hurled them at the Bunyip and Loboto with the mad doctor letting out a shout of anger before commanding the crab droids to attack them in conjunction with the Bunyip. However, one of them was kicked away by none other than Norman with another being sent hurtling in the air by Dipper swinging a metal bar. Meanwhile, Flowey was providing cover fire for Wybie and Neil by firing his pellets at any attacking crab drone, he could not help but grin menacingly as it had been so long since he used his pellets for harmful purposes. Sure, Mabel would not approve, but these were not exactly living creatures. "Hee hee hee! Hahaha! That's it! Come on! Smile for me!" Flowey yelled in sadistic glee as his eyes became black with his pupils being white giving off a demonic feel all while rapidly firing his pellets at the robots, which made Wybie feel like he should be more scared of the flower than Loboto himself.
The crab that was running away with the net tried its best to keep its distance from the kids, that is until it was smashed by Neil using a metallic roofing plate. "It's not nice to steal from others, y'know." Neil crossly told the crab robot before picking up the net, "Guys! I got the net!" Neil victoriously declared, but that only caught the attention of the other crab drones, which Neil paused at and gulped, "...and there goes my Sneakers bar." He anxiously muttered as the crabs all then converged on him with Flowey doing his best to get them all with his pellets. Neil backed away slowly from the approaching crab drones, his back hitting a car behind him while looking around anxiously and fearfully, "C-come on, guys! Take it easy on me...I've got like a major case of diarrhea so it'd be pretty messy for the both of us!" Neil remarked when the crabs prepared to attack until Lili jumped in from above and slammed down, creating a shock wave of telekinesis knocking them all back. Lili stood back up and dusted her hands with Neil having a bewildered stare, "You good?" Lili asked him casually and Neil nodded slightly, "Totes good." He responded in awe at Lili's prowess to which she smirked at, "Good. Now watch this." She then fired several PSI-blasts at the attacking crab drones, effectively destroying them. Before she quickly held her hand out, stopping a crab drone in midair with her telekinesis, before knocking it back and slamming it against a tower of cars which consequently knocked the tower down and several more of the drones, destroying them in the process. "Show time's over, Neil! Get that net over to the gun! Now!" Lili commanded as she blasted the drones with her psychic powers. "Oh! Yeah! Right!" Neil complied shaking himself out of his trance before quickly running over to Wybie and Flowey, with the latter using his friendliness pellets in conjunction with Lili's PSI-blasts to destroy any crab drone that tried to get at them. Meanwhile, Coraline evaded another clawed hand from the Bunyip before swinging the crowbar at its face, the beast growled in fury as it tried to bite at Coraline but the girl managed to jump in evasion in time, only for the Bunyip to suddenly dash forward and hit Coraline with its head, though the girl managed to prevent any broken bones by bringing the crowbar up to her midsection. Coraline was knocked to the ground with a grunt and gasped with wide eyes when the Bunyip was about to swing its clawed paw down threatening to skewer her, "Time to crush a blueberry!" Loboto said with glee until Mabel tossed the burnt pan over to her, "Coraline! Catch!" She yelled as she tossed it over with Coraline quickly grabbing it and shielded herself with the bottom of the pan as the claw struck the pan instead with sparks flying out briefly from the collision. Coraline grit her teeth immediately feeling her arms buckle from the force. when the Bunyip then swung its tail at her prompting her to duck quickly with a grunt. Raz took the opportunity to jump and grab the tail in time while he is in midair. Mabel brought out her grappling gun and shot it towards the Bunyip with it hooking around the beast's claw before it could swing down again.
The monster looked over with a roar as Mabel tried to pull with all her might, "I got you!" Lili spoke up before she formed a telekinetic hand to grab the wire of the grappling gun. Lili and Mabel smiled and nodded once before they both pulled together, tugging the Bunyip away from Coraline and then pulling the latter away with her telekinesis. Coraline stood up next to Lili and Mabel, "Nice one." She commended the psychic girl to which she smirked before the Bunyip swung its tail at them causing Coraline to bring Mabel down with her and Lili to duck herself. However, when the Bunyip did swing its tail, Raz took the opportunity to jump at the tail, and grab it in midair. He then swung around the tail like a circus acrobat before throwing himself up, back flipping twice, created a large telekinetic fist as he began to descend before smashing the fist down at the Bunyip's head with the beast letting out a roar of pain as it was crushed to the ground. "Woo! Great job, Raz!" Mabel cheered with Coraline giving him a thumbs up as she too was impressed along with Lili. Raz smiled and gave back a thumbs up before he noticed the beast getting back up with numerous other crab drones beginning to surround them only for Raz to quickly run over to the EMP, grab it, and activate it. He tossed the EMP over to the oncoming drones, "HEADS UP!" He advised the others with them ducking as the EMP glowed for a moment, before it unleashed an electromagnetic pulse that completely engulfed half of the area inside junkyard. This also managed to deactivate the crab drones in the process with Coraline and Mabel cheering along with Norman and Dipper. The Bunyip stood back up only to meet a telekinetic fist smashing into its face knocking it back down as the monster was beginning to grow fatigue. Norman and Dipper managed to sever the robotic end of the tail using their weapons, panting a little before they glanced at each other and fist bumped with victorious smirks. The children looked over to Loboto who let out a holler of annoyance and anger, "Do you kids have any idea how much time, and effort, and money it takes to put living but elaborate death machines together?!" Loboto exclaimed though none of the kids could care less. "Save it, psycho." Coraline sternly said before turning to Wybie who was able to repair the bazooka and remove it from the cart. The net was inside as well showing that they succeeded as Neil walked over while holding Flowey. Coraline held the bazooka with Wybie helping her hold it up, "And...PULL!" Coraline commanded with Wybie pulling the trigger as it shot the net at the Bunyip, finally ensnaring it. The beast let out shrieks of extreme discomfort as it began kicking its legs and flailing violently in a vain attempt to remove the net only for the effects of the plants that were laced on the net took its toll and the Bunyip collapsed to the ground exhausted and incapacitated. "WHAT?! What have you done to my pet?!" Loboto shouted in shock.
"That Doctor Loboto is effect of the Woolly Jub Jub plant. Really nasty plant to any animal but when it comes to the Bunyip...they're basically the bane of their existence." Dipper exclaimed with a smug look. "No. NO! Not yet! I still have plenty of tools to lobotomize you brats! And after I remove your brains I'm gonna-" Loboto began to rant until Raz shot a PSI-blast at Loboto with the doctor flinching thinking he may have been hit. But he looked to see he was unharmed and laughed at Razputin, "Haha! You missed, Aquato!" Raz simply smirked, "Wasn't aiming at'cha." He retorted with Loboto having little time to realize until he looked up to see numerous tires falling down on the doctor who screamed in alarm bringing his arms up as the tires all fell down on him on top of each other, trapping him in the process. Lili then used her pyrokinesis to burn and melt the tires together, effectively encasing him in solid rubber. Loboto struggled fiercely with strong grunts and shouts but found himself unable to as the kids all surrounded him with stern expressions. "Doctor Loboto! That coat, or should I say coating, looks amazing on you! It's just -muah- gorgeous, darling!" Mabel cracked with Coraline smirking in amusement along with Dipper. Mabel then suddenly whacked Loboto on top of his head with the burnt pan, "THAT'S FOR MESSING WITH MY FRIENDS!" She yelled angrily with Lili joining in by kicking him down, "And THAT'S for messing with my boyfriend!" She exclaimed in anger with the kids being surprised by that, "Wait...boyfriend?" Flowey repeated in surprise, "Um, well...I don't really know if we are...I mean she says we're boyfriend and girlfriend but...I dunno." Raz tried to come up with a proper explanation to that but was unable to given that he does not know the concept of what a boyfriend and girlfriend is when Coraline walked over and patted his head, "Don't worry, short stack. You'll learn eventually." She assured him with a teasing grin. "What're you? The guru of love now?" Flowey remarked with a raised brow until Mabel snatched Flowey from Neil with a squeal, "Flowey! You were so awesome back there!" She chirped as she held him close with a wide grin, "I...I was?" Flowey repeated a little with a surprised look, "Sure was. Pretty scary but...yeah." Wybie said in agreement albeit timidly as well. "You know...I actually was. No, I am! Yeah!" Flowey boastfully said with Lili smirking, "I guess that's what happens when science messes with nature." She proclaimed when Norman said, "Though I'm kinda hoping Flowey doesn't turn into Biollantte." He hoped making a reference to the famous plant-like Kajiu with Flowey turning to him in confusion, "Bio-who-what-now?" Neil walked over and patted his pot, "You and I have a lot of research to do, my friend." He said to him which only confused Flowey further. "Alright. Loboto's down. The day's saved...now can we place go back to the shack and maybe sleep for four days or something?" Coraline pleaded as she rubbed her eyes and head a little in discomfort. "I second that notion." Dipper raised her hand with the others all agreeing as well. They were about to leave until they heard sounds of happiness coming from their side, and looked over to see the old hillbilly that lived in the junkyard, performing a kind of tap dancing on one of the cars. "Woo wee! I always knew my stories about a bunch-a kiddos coming together to solve mysteries would be real!" Old Man McGucket danced in place gleefully while the kids were looking at him in extreme bewilderment and confusion. This all happened while the sun was already beginning to rise as its rays of light swallowed the landscape in the distance.
