An evil chuckle was the first thing that Larry-Boy expected when he was about to see the villain. A very chilly place that felt like Antarctica? That's wasn't even on his list. Petunia shivered beside him. The moment they got to the top, they were wound with a rope and were set aside.
"He he he! At last! Larry-Boy has been captured! And look… he brought his girlfriend with him." A voice with a German accent chuckled.
"Show yourself!" Larry-Boy demanded.
A chair turned around and Larry-Boy saw probably the oldest villain he ever faced. His grey hair was standing, his eyebrows were thick and he had a grey mustache and he wore a lab coat. He didn't really look like a villain. More like a mad scientist that needed a haircut.
"Welcome, visitors! I am Dr. Flurry!" Dr. Flurry introduced in a German accent.
"Dr. Flurry?" Petunia asked.
"Where'd did that name come from?" Larry teased.
Dr. Flurry laughed. "Oh, Larry-Boy! I thought the Bumblyburg's superhero would be a lot more fiercer than that!"
"He is fierce! He's the bravest, fiercest and most selfless person I've ever known!" Petunia defended.
Dr. Flurry laughed again. Petunia scowled at him; Dr. Flurry's laughter faltered. "Well it's about time for you to see my master plan…"
"What do you want, Dr. Flurry? And what does it have to do with Bumblyburg's ice cream?" LB demanded.
"Well, I was thinking of a way to claim Bumblyburg in a powerful yet villainous way. That's when I thought of using fear against Bumblyburg. And I needed something else. Instead of cowering, I wanted Bumblyburg to freeze in fear. I have tons of ice, but I need the ice cream to maintain the ice's coolness. Fabulous idea, no?" Dr. Flurry bragged.
"Wait, if you're gonna freeze Bumblyburg with fear, how're you going to do that?" Petunia asked.
"Oh, excellent question, young lady."
"Villains. They're always telling their master plan when they shouldn't. Good thing there's an interviewer here." LB whispered.
Petunia blushed. Though it seemed like Larry-Boy was scared of her, it was relieving to find out that he needs her.
"Watch and learn." Dr. Flurry instructed.
On the screen is a sample of the weapon for freezing people. LB and Petunia saw a person cowering in fear. The weapon seems to be absorbing that fear and when the machine was fully charged, it froze the person to solid ice. They both gasped simultaneously as Dr. Flurry chuckled evilly.
"Of course, I need a portable one for easy escape. That's why I'm making improvements. And within the next twenty four hours, I will freeze everyone and Bumblyburg will be mine!" Dr. Flurry chortled.
"You'll never get away with this, Dr. Flurry!" Larry-Boy glared.
"Eh, you may think that way, but no. I will use your own fears against you. So there's no stopping me now, ja?" Dr. Flurry said.
Larry-Boy and Petunia suddenly moved backwards… or was it the floor that they're sitting on was moving backwards? They were trapped inside a see-through refrigerator. The atmosphere in the freezer was three times colder than Dr. Flurry's spacecraft.
"Comfy? Then, congratulations! You're the first one to taste the wrath of my latest invention."
As the evil mad scientist giggled, he pushed a button that said FREEZE. As soon as he did, the temperature of the freezer dropped lower and lower. In fear and in hopelessness, Larry-Boy and Petunia had nothing to do but shiver, causing Dr. Flurry's device to charge. Dr. Flurry exited the room and the two were left alone, waiting their own death.
"What should we do?" Petunia worried.
