Chapter 7
"Come on! Let's go after him," said Beetlejuice as he floated off the ground. But Lydia grabbed him by his cape. "Never mind him. Something's happening to Doomie," said Lydia pointing to the monster car.
They all turned their attention to Doomie who seemed to be writhing in agony. Suddenly, the blackness in his eyes went even darker. He reared up on his wheels and began a horrible transformation. He grew larger. His teeth and claws grew longer and sharper. His arms grew thicker and muscular. Horns popped out of his head. A ridge of spines grew down his back. His wheels became covered in spikes. Then his body grew apart from his wheels that were held to him by metal rods. He roared with flames coming out of his mouth. "Uh guys? I think we have a problem," said Beetlejuice.
Doomie revved up and charged at the heroes. "Spread out!" yelled Lydia. Beetlejuice and Lydia dove to the right while Dr. Notrub and Jack dove to the left. Doomie sped by leaving flames among his tire treads.
"Okay. This confirms that Dr. Grim has done more than a simple brainwashing on Doomie. Those rays from that Dread-Drone must have stimulated some sort of transformation. How I'm not sure. Beetlejuice, Lydia, it is now integral that we frighten Doomie enough so that Beetlejuice can power up the Ultimate Fright Force if we ever hope to get your car back to normal," said Dr. Notrub. "His fear level's shrunken down a bit since he got all pumped up. Now I'm mad," said Beetlejuice.
Just then, the Creep Captor sailed out of the sky and landed on the road behind Doomie. It stuck up as if it was actually marking a grave. "Ah good. The Creep Captor's arrived. But it won't activate until the Ultimate Fright Force petrifies the monster. Guys, let's give it all we've got," said Dr. Notrub.
The three Spooky Heroes charged at Doomie. Doomie inhaled and breathed out a multitude of fireballs. Beetlejuice floated into the air and batted the fireballs away. "Take this, car creep!" yelled Dr. Notrub as he pressed his red button. His astral image shot out of his eyes and the energy field surrounded him. The spectral version of Dr. Notrub spun around and collided with Doomie in the style of a drill. Beetlejuice fired his F.I.R. rays from the palms of his hands.
"Keep it up, guys!" cheered Lydia. Then she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Jack. "What is it, Jack?" asked Lydia. "We've got a problem," said Jack pointing behind her. Lydia turned around and shrieked.
Another one of Doomie's car monsters was approaching. It was a car that looked like a car flipped on its front end. Gray muscular arms grew out of the rear wheels and legs grew out of the front ones. A skull sat on the top wearing a giant undertaker's hat. In it's hands, it held a giant shovel. Lydia recognized the car. "It's Dr. Notrub's hearse! Fitting it should become something related with death with the undertaker's hat and shovel," said Lydia.
The hearse monster raised its shovel and was about to bring it down onto Lydia and Jack. Lydia quickly used her gloves and grabbed the shovel. She struggled to keep it from bringing it down. "This is just perfect. Now we've got a hyped up Doomie and now this hearse," said Lydia. "Beetlejuice! Lydia needs some help!" called Jack.
"Huh?" asked Beetlejuice turning away from Doomie. The moment he turned around, Doomie sped past him right towards Lydia. "Prepare to be road kill, Lydia!" cackled Doomie. "Oh no you don't!" yelled Beetlejuice as he quickly floated after Doomie and grabbed his rear fender. Now two Spooky Heroes were struggling to stop two monsters.
"You can't hold me forever, Beetlejuice. Without your powers, you're a weakling. Dr. Grim will win and rule the world. You won't hold me forever. As soon as I escape your grip, Lydia will be street pizza!" yelled Doomie with an evil laugh.
That comment was the last straw for Beetlejuice. Using a sudden burst of strength, he picked up Doomie and tossed him over his head. Doomie picked himself up and looked at Beetlejuice who was looking mad. A strange green glow was surrounding Beetlejuice. Doomie's horrible face lost its evil grin and was replaced with a look of fright.
Dr. Notrub, in the meantime, had deactivated his Astral Projector and gazed in awe at what was happening. "It's happening. Beetlejuice has frightened Doomie enough to activate the Ultimate Fright Force. Let's hope it works out right," said Dr. Notrub as he watched.
"Doomie! You may be my car and one of my friends. But right now, you have just gotten me really angry. No one threatens Lydia!" Beetlejuice yelled, as the glow got brighter. Then slowly, Beetlejuice started to grow and change shape.
In a few moments, Beetlejuice had changed into a black and white striped creature that looked like a combination of a steam shovel and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. He knew that nothing scared Doomie more than this creature. It was from the Neitherworld Dump and it crushed cars for a living. It roared at Doomie. Doomie yelped and shrieked.
Then, in an instant, Beetlejuice shrunk back into his normal size and shape and yelled, "Ultimate Fright Force! Blast!" From the palms of his hands, he unleashed a gigantic green beam at Doomie. As the beam traveled at Doomie, it took the shape of horrible shrieking specter. Doomie screamed as the beam struck him. An explosion of light emitted on contact. Beetlejuice shielded his eyes.
When he uncovered, he saw that Doomie was frozen stiff. He wore a look of complete horror on his face. Then Beetlejuice turned his attention to the Creep Captor. Mechanical doors started to open at the front of it revealing a green glowing doorway. Green, clawed hands similar to those from Lydia's Grip of Fear Gloves emerged and grabbed the petrified Doomie. They pulled him into the doorway. Once he was all the way in, the doors closed and the Creep Captor took off into the air.
"You did it, Beetlejuice! Victory!" cheered Dr. Notrub. "I couldn't have done it without these nifty toys you gave me, doc," said Beetlejuice as he floated to and landed next to Dr. Notrub.
"But what caused you to change into that monster? I thought you were cutting back on your morphing," said Dr. Notrub. "I don't know. While I was preparing to blast Doomie, I felt like my powers had come back and I was able to transform into something that would really scare Doomie," said Beetlejuice. "Hey guys!" called Lydia.
They both turned around and saw Lydia and Jack standing beside Dr. Notrub's hearse. It was back to normal. "Hey! My hearse! You found it, Lydia!" exclaimed Dr. Notrub. "Actually, Dr. Notrub, it found us. It had been turned into a monster like all the other cars," said Jack. "But I think after you defeated Doomie, all the cars went back to normal," said Lydia.
"That's a relief. But we have to get back to my lab. The paralysis will wear off in thirteen hours. We must analyze Doomie and find out how Dr. Grim brainwashed him. Let's get into the hearse," said Dr. Notrub. "Hold it, doc. I don't think we should drive back to the mansion. I'll teleport us there," said Beetlejuice. "Are you sure you can do that Beetlejuice? Don't you think you better not waste your powers?" asked Lydia. "I feel okay to do one teleportation, Lyds. But I sure could go for some beetles to recharge. Hang on," said Beetlejuice as he snapped his fingers. In a flash of light, Beetlejuice, Lydia, Dr. Notrub, Jack and the hearse vanished.
"Come on! Let's go after him," said Beetlejuice as he floated off the ground. But Lydia grabbed him by his cape. "Never mind him. Something's happening to Doomie," said Lydia pointing to the monster car.
