Cherry had a cigarette in her mouth and clicked on a lighter and started to smoke as she was far away from the others.
"Are you serious?" Drell asked.
"I'm stressed..." Cherry took the cigarette out as she stared at him. "What do you want, Drell?"
"Just wanted to know why you are over here." Drell said.
"I wanna be alone..." Cherry looked away from him. "Why don't you make yourself useful and fix that canoe that almost killed us?"
"Or I can go see that boy that seems to be now as strong as Atticus." Drell said.
"Sure... Whatever..." Cherry shrugged.
Drell then left her alone to go meet Luke.
Cherry narrowed her eyes. "There he goes again with the strong boys..."
'That's right, my dear, he doesn't care about you.' A voice told her from her mind.
"Hm?!" Cherry's eyes widened, she looked around, to look for the source of the voice.
'I'm in your mind, my dear...' the voice told her.
"Who... Who are you...?" Cherry asked.
'It's me, Sombra.' The evil unicorn's voice said.
Cherry's eyes widened. "Get away from me..."
'Now, now, my dear, I'm not here to hurt you.' Sombra's voice said.
Cherry snorted in disbelief.
'I promise, I just want to help you...' Sombra's voice replied.
"With what...?" Cherry asked.
'With your dream-bending.' Sombra's voice smirked.
"Not this again..." Cherry sighed. "Look, I'm stuck here during the summer, I might as well make the most of it... You're not gonna trick me, Sombra."
'No, I really mean it, I really can help you, besides, my crystal powers have a connection to illusions,' Sombra's voice said. 'So I might as well help you with your skills.'
"Look, you may be my best friend's uncle, but I know for a fact that you are nothing but pure evil, and there's nothing that you can say or do to change my mind, not even your wagers." Cherry folded her arms.
'You can even torture Drell.' Sombra's voice tempted.
"Look, I said-" Cherry was about to refuse, then paused a moment. "Torture Drell...?"
'Uh-huh.' Sombra's voice nodded.
"I... I dunno..." Cherry twiddled her fingers.
'Just think about it, with my help, you can be able to make anything you dream of real.' Sombra's voice said.
"Um... I-I dunno..." Cherry looked nervous.
'Alright, fine, then I guess I'll just leave and go see if Atticus would like my help.' Sombra's voice said.
"No, no, no, don't leave!" Cherry begged.
'So, do you want my help for you against Drell or not?' Sombra tempted.
Cherry put her hands to her mouth. "Erm... I guess that wouldn't be so heinous..."
'I'll take that as a yes.' Sombra's voice smirked.
"So, um, what're you gonna do to me?" Cherry asked.
'I'm going to help you make something become real whatever you dream of.' Sombra's voice said.
"Hmm..." Cherry hummed.
'Good girl...' Sombra laughed.
Cherry shuddered at his laugh slightly.
'Now, just start dreaming.' Sombra's voice told her.
Cherry shut her eyes as she felt influenced by the evil unicorn stallion.
While that was going on...
"Then I saw them comin' down the hill faster than a pack of buzzards on a bobsled." Burt was telling the other ranger about the destruction that had happened.
"Like, we almost became Fishman food." Shaggy added in.
"Can you describe this Fishman?" the other ranger requested as he had his notepad and pencil out.
"He was about taller than Shaggy and had fish scales and sharp teeth." Patch described.
"That's Neil Fisher to a T," Burt replied, getting over the shocking fact that Patch could talk. "First the Fishman, now the Woodsman, all of Little Moose's campfire legends are coming to life!"
"There really is no other explanation." the other ranger shrugged as he jotted down in his notes.
"That someone is trying to scare off everyone at camp?" Mo guessed.
"I agree with her." Velma replied to that.
"Why don't you just stick to being pretty?" the other ranger smirked to Velma.
Velma stepped back nervously. "Did he just say what I think he said?"
"Yeah," Daphne beamed. "He thinks you're pretty!"
"I don't think that's what she means." Colette said.
Scooby then remembered something and whispered to Shaggy.
"Like, Scoob says he saw a building under the water." Shaggy then told the rangers.
"Not just a building, but a whole entire city." Patch said.
"Underwater city..." the other ranger jotted that down in his notepad. "I'll put it in my report," he then headed over to his jeep. "If there really are monsters loose, you kids better head back to town. This camp is just too dangerous." he then tipped his hat with a wink to Velma.
Velma glared to him with her hands on her hips, feeling more annoyed than charmed with him.
"I suggest we just ignore his suggestion." Mo said.
"But, Mo, didn't you, like, hear the man?!" Shaggy shivered with Scooby. "We're outta here!"
Scooby dashed off and came back with camping supplies. "Ret's rounce."
"No way." Mo shook her head.
"We're not going anywhere." Fred added in.
"We're not?" Shaggy, Scooby, and Deacon asked.
"Nope, we're staying right here and are going to protect Camp Little Moose from whoever is trying to scare us away from here." Atticus said.
"If someone's trying to scare us, we need to find out why." Fred agreed. "The next time they come to our camp, we're gonna be ready."
Luke smiled up to Fred and looked up to him now and even folded his arms in determination like him.
Later on, Drell was with Atticus and Luke to test the boy's strength.
"Um, Luke, is it?" Drell came to the blonde boy.
"Um, yes, sir?" Luke replied.
"Come over here a moment." Drell gestured for him.
Luke walked over. "Who are you?"
"He's my uncle." Atticus quickly said before Drell could say anything.
"Um... Yeah..." Drell glanced at Atticus. "His uncle..."
"It's nice to meet you, sir." Luke smiled, extending his hand to the strong warlock.
Drell shook hands with him. "Hello there." he then smirked slightly as he tried to put pressure on Luke's hand as he had a hunch about this boy due to spending some time with Atticus.
Luke could feel him putting more pressure into his hand so he decided to do the same thing with his hand unaware about his new incredible strength. Drell winced slightly, but smirked.
"Wow, sir, you're really strong." Luke said.
"Heh, why thank you." Drell grinned proudly and smugly.
"He knows." Atticus said.
Drell flaunted his hair after he let go of Luke.
"And where the one that is stronger than him is Atticus." Patch smiled as he came over.
"Don't push it." Drell grumbled to the puppy.
"Whoa!" Luke was surprised that Patch was talking.
"What?" Patch asked Luke. "Scooby can talk and it's a surprise that I talk?"
"Heh, good point." Luke chuckled.
"Oh, brother..." Drell rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, it's true, Atticus really is stronger than him." Patch smiled.
"I trained him." Drell said in a near bragging tone of voice.
"It's true." Atticus nodded.
"So, sir, what're you doing in Camp Little Moose?" Luke asked.
"Uh, just visiting my favorite nephew of course," Drell smiled innocently as he grabbed Atticus into a headlock. "Oh, you can't spend the summer without me, buddy!"
"Yeah, I know!" Atticus laughed before getting breaking free and then grabbing Drell into a wrestling hold.
Cheater!" Drell laughed at that.
"You started it." Atticus smirked.
Drell stuck his tongue out like an immature child. Atticus then lifted him up in the air before slamming him on the ground like a wrestler and pinning him on the ground.
"Ow..." Drell pouted as Atticus put his foot on the warlock's back.
"One! Two! Three! You're outta here!" Luke counted with a laugh.
After Atticus got his foot off Drell's back Luke helped up the strong warlock, unintentionally using all of his new strength and where he was able to lift him up and accidentally sent him flying straight into a tree. Atticus and Luke winced at that.
"I'm okay..." Drell weakly called.
"So, I really did give you the same strength as me." Atticus said.
"How did you do that?" Luke asked.
"It must have happened while I ruffled your hair." Atticus said.
"You think so?" Luke asked.
"It's possible," Patch replied. "He gave me strength when he pet me once when we went to Gravity Falls."
"Cool." Luke smiled.
"Yeah, my life sure has been a lot more impressive since Atticus took me in as his own pet." Patch smiled up to Atticus in admiration and proud acceptance.
Atticus smiled back at him.
"You two sure sound like you both have been together for a long time." Luke smiled.
"Feels like it, he's one of my best friends," Atticus got down on his knees and ruffled up Patch's fur. "Huh, boy?"
"That's right." Patch smiled.
Luke smiled back.
"We've been friends since London." Atticus said.
"London, huh?" Luke asked.
"Yep." Patch smiled.
"I'm so proud of him for becoming one of a kind." Atticus smiled at his puppy.
"It's always been my dream." Patch said.
"You both sure are lucky." Luke smiled.
"No, that's my brother and father figure." Patch then said as a joke which made him laugh, but not really Luke since he didn't know the other dogs in the Dalmatian puppy's life.
"I don't get it." Luke said.
"That's okay, he just knows two other dogs named Lucky." Atticus said.
"Cool." Luke smiled.
Atticus and Patch smiled back.
"You know those two bond most of the time through wrestling." Drell told Luke after getting off the tree.
"Oh, really?" Luke asked.
"Oh, yeah," Drell crossed his arms. "I'm a bit of a wrestler myself."
"It's true." Atticus nodded.
"Yeah." Patch added.
"Nobody messes with me..." Drell said.
Cherry watched him from a hidden spit. "Not for long..."
'Ready?' Sombra's voice asked.
"I believe so..." Cherry had a dark smirk.
'Then let's start out with something like a chimera.' Sombra's voice smirked.
"Chimera...?" Cherry asked.
'Just imagine a creature with a lion's head, a snake head, and a ram's head with a dragon tail and dragon wings.' Sombra's voice said.
Cherry closed her eyes as she imagined the mythical beast. "Makes me think of that thing Apple Bloom ran into when Applejack got obsessed with watching over her."
'Because it is.' Sombra's voice smiled.
"Oh..." Cherry bit her lip. "Right..."
'Now, just dream it to appear and it will and command it to do whatever you want it to.' Sombra's voice said.
Cherry closed her eyes as she envisioned the beast.
Suddenly, a roar came behind her and it blew her hair back slightly.
Cherry looked up and saw the Chimera up close. "Whoa..."
'Command it to do something.' Sombra's voice smiled.
"Um... Hi, Chimera..." Cherry weakly waved to the dragonistic beast which snarled while breathing heavily to her. "Um... Sit?" she then commanded like a pet owner to try it out.
The chimera sat down as commanded like a pet.
"Good boy." Cherry said, petting it as it started to purr.
'Now, order it to attack Drell.' Sombra's voice said.
Cherry turned to the strong warlock and smirked, then pointed to him while looking to the Chimera. "ATTACK HIM!"
The Chimera nodded before running off to the strong warlock. Cherry giggled rather wickedly.
