Hey everyone! I was able to update sooner than I thought! Well, here is the complete mega battle with Doris. I really like writing this chapter a LOT, and it's probably the longest chapter I've written. There's yet again, another song that inspired this ENTIRE chapter, so that will be posted as well. Now…enough babbling…I'm sure you just want to read the story now…

Now, on to the reviews!

Doodlegirll: Well…you didn't have to…enjoy the battle chapter!

Chapter 27

The Final Encounter

-

(Song: Doris Has Her Day by Danny Elfman)

"There he is!"

Wilbur had the Location Scanner in his hand and was pointing at a small little shack, which was not to far from the Invent Co. Labs. Wilbur, Carl and Ted all ran down there. Ted tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"It's locked!" he exclaimed.

"Let me try," said Carl. He ran away from the door and then came charging towards it. Then, he smashed the door wide-open and toppled inside.

"Wow,' said Wilbur in awe as Carl got up. Carl grinned and showed off his non-existent muscles.

"Well…I guess I don't know my own strength!" he said.

They all turned to see Mike, tied to a chair. It was evident that he was struggling, because his chair was toppled over and he was going around in circles, trying his best to escape. Mike looked up to see the three and was surprised.

"Robinson!" he said to Wilbur with a smile. "Gee, for the 1st time in my life, I'm glad to see you…"

"The name's Wilbur, Goob," he said as he and Carl started to untie him, "and cut the friendly act…you can thank me after we save my family and destroy Doris…and uh…what's with your old get-up?"

Mike frowned. "Doris put it on me, because she wanted me to relive my horrible failed past, I guess."

Ted ran up to Mike and stood about a foot away from him. Mike smiled and Ted rushed in to give Mike a big hug. Surprised, Mike retuned it happily. Once they parted, Ted immediately punched Mike in the arm.

"Ow!" squealed Mike in pain. "What was that for?"

"For being an idiot!" screamed Ted. "Don't you EVER, do a stupid stunt like you did back at the house…and don't EVER yell like that again…I mean, yeah, I make fun of you, but I do care for ya Yagoobian…"

Mike smiled. He knew that Ted meant what he said, even if it was a little bizarre coming from him.

"Hey guys?" said Wilbur in an inpatient tone, "Um…can we get a move on? We kinda need to rescue the future…"

"You guys go on without me…" said Mike.

"Wait what?" asked Wilbur,

"Are you nuts?" asked Carl.

But Ted merely looked at Mike and said, "It's Al isn't it? They're after Al?"

Mike nodded. Ted gave him the thumbs up.

"Go get her Tiger."

"I'll meet you all at Robinson Industries," said Mike as he ran off, "I just hope it isn't too late!"

"Yo, Mike!" said Wilbur. Mike turned and Wilbur threw him the Location Scanner and the Pocket Grappling Hook.

"It may come in handy," he said with a small shrug and a smile, which Mike returned.

"Thanks Wilbur," he said as he ran off to find Al's apartment.

-

Meanwhile, in a small apartment, Al was outside on her balcony. She looked onward at the beautiful dark blue sky, and thought how beautiful the buildings looked when the moon shone on them. There weren't very many bubbles up in the sky at this time, but the few that were looked like life sized stars flying around the city. Al had to admit; it's been a while since she had such a simple life like this. Maybe this is what was meant for her…maybe she isn't mean to find love or raise a family. Maybe…she has no real future.

She sighed and got off the balcony and back into her room. She did not notice the 5 little Doris hats sneaking in her room, their red lights flashing as they his in her closet…

-

Mike finally arrived at Al's apartment building. He went up the long flight of stairs in a rush to try and rescue her. He panted, because there really were a lot of stairs and Mike was somewhat bent out of shape.

Where are the Travel tubes when you need 'em? He thought.

But, he kept on going, and unfortunately…Al's apartment was on the top floor.

-

Al began looking through a pile of pictures she developed (the ones she didn't develop at Mike's house. She looked at them painfully as she found them all to be the picture of her and Mike together. She immediately took all the pictures and threw them in a wastebasket.

Al took a seat in her bed and took a brush off her bed stand. She began to comb her hair, having a little difficulty since her hair had a tendency to stand on end. Al then heard a small crash and turned to see…

-

Mike had finally reached the top floor. With as much energy as he could muster, he ran to where the Location Scanner said Al was. He burst open through the door, and found nothing. All he saw were broken shards of glass, things thrown on the door, and her balcony window open; the curtains were flying in the strong wind. He ran out to her balcony and could see and hear Al being taken away by some Bowler hats. She was screaming her head off as they flew her to their destination.

"NO!" he cried. "AL!!"

He was too late. But he could have a second chance. He immediately ran down the stairs so as to meet Wilbur, Carl and Ted at Robinson Industries.

-

Mike snuck into Robinson Industries, and went to the floor, above where the conveyer belts for the factory machines were. Down below him he could see many duplicators, all on and about to be used.

"Coo coo!"

Mike turned to see Wilbur, Carl and Ted. Wilbur had his hands clasped around his mouth, making the pigeon noise. With great caution, Mike walked over to where they were.

"They're over there," said Wilbur.

Wilbur pointed to where a bunch of Invent Co. workers with hats were surrounding a big laser cage which held the entire Robinson family, tied up in ropes. The crowd made space as a few bowler hats brought in Al, now tied up, and threw her in with the family. Doris, who was still using Mrs. Harlington's body as a host, laughed evilly.

"Marvelous…" she said, giving Al an evil smile. "Simply marvelous."

"What do you want with us Doris?" yelled Cornelius. "I made sure of it that I never created you!"

Doris giggled. "Oh Cornelius…that is the beauty of time travel…when mini-Doris was captured by your wife's hideous mafia frogs, she escaped and rebuilt me…sure, it would be difficult, but considering you invented my memory chip with all my personality…it worked out quiet marvelously."

"Of course," mumbled Cornelius to himself "Even though I didn't invent her, I still invented that stupid memory chip for all my inventions, so it didn't get destroyed like everything else. Ugh…how could I be so stupid!?"

Franny nudged herself closer to her husband. "It's okay Cornelius…we'll get out of this."

"You still didn't answer his question!" yelled Al to Doris. "What do you want with us? Did Mike sent you to get us?"

Doris gave out a hearty laugh. "Oh my dear…you still think Michael is the evil one? No no no…I made you think that by planting that binder in your room…I wrote that hate note…yes, he did help me in the past, but he was nothing but a deadweight to me…he was only needed for one part of my plan…"

Al cocked an eyebrow. "Are you saying that Mike didn't do any of this?'

Doris laughed once more. "Do you think Michael Yagoobian is smart enough to concoct a brilliant plan like this? Oh no my dear…that is all me!"

Al's face suddenly froze. If he didn't do anything truly bad, she thought…then it means that he was telling the truth…about everything…and

…He really does love me…and I was so horrible to him…

Al sulked as Doris continued. "You just feel very miserable now, Allison. I mean I certainly would knowing that I treated the love of my life like a dirt pile! You did wonderfully on helping me ruin his life my dear, and for that I thank you…"

"DORIS!" yelled Cornelius. "What's your plan? Why here? Why now?"

Doris suddenly grew serious. "Well, my dear creator, my plan is to simply enslave the human race…it is because of you that I almost didn't exist, so I figured you and your family should pay. Mike got off too easy for my liking, so I kidnapped his little girlfriend and ruined his life with her. Once I get rid of all of you, I will proceed to duplicating all the bowler hats, and then the future as you know it, will cease to exist…"

Doris laughed evilly as two bowler hats opened up the top of a machine. Inside, there were jagged wheels and sharp objects turning inside of it. It was similar to that of a factory machine, only with some deadly modifications. Everyone looked at it with fear.

"I see you like the modification I put to your machine," said Doris with an evil grin. "On by one, each of you will fall in here…the death will be so gruesome and so pleasing to me, that it will most definitely put me in a good mood to ruin your future!"

Wilbur gasped. "That son of a…"

But Carl covered his mouth and shushed him. Ted gulped and Mike watched in horror as a bowler hat beeped to her, asking who they should put in first…

"Oh dear…who should go first?" Doris asked herself out loud. She then grinned. "I know…why don't we start off with Mike's pretty little ex-girlfriend?"

And with that, a bunch of Doris hats opened the cage and went after Al. She screamed as they picked her up, put the Robinson family went into action. Gaston bit a hat, while Tallulah tried to kick them all. Cornelius and Franny tried to hold her down, but there hands were tied, so they easily lost their grip…they weren't able to stop the hats from taking her.

"AL!" screeched Cornelius and Franny.

"Oh, Cornelius…what are we going to do?" asked Franny, gazing into his blue yes.

Cornelius hung his head. "I don't know…"

Al still continued to struggle as the hats took her up to where the big Death machine (A/N: Yeah...I'm running out of ideas…XD) was. She screamed as she could hear the whizzing of the machine getting closer…Doris' cold laughter filled the room.

And that is what made Mike snap.

Mike stood on the railing of the top floor and got out the pocket grappling hook. He swung it towards a pipe and made sure that it held on.

"You guys go save the Robinsons!" he yelled to them, "I have a score to settle with a friend…"

They all nodded an ran downstairs. Mike had to admit, he was afraid of how high he was, but when he saw Al's feet dangling above the Death machine, all fear was pushed aside. He jumped and swung from the rope from the grappling hook. He was able to grab Al just in time as the hats dropped her in.

"NO! HOW DID HE ESCAPE!?" yelled Doris in rage.

Mike let go of the grappling hook, which zipped back into place and fell on the ground. He and Al fell harshly on the ground. Al groaned in pain and looked to see who her savior was. She gasped when she spotted Mike, sitting right next to her. He winced in pain, but managed to give her a small smile. Al was in shock…but she returned his smile back.

"You saved me…after all the horrible things I did…" she said in a low whisper.

"Of course I did…" he said, putting a hand against her cheek. " I love you Al."

Al couldn't help but smile and cry a little.

"Oh Mike," she began, "I…"

"GET HIM!"

Mike was suddenly dragged away from Al by a bunch of hypnotized Invent Co. workers. Al saw that not too far was a piece of sharp metal hanging out from a machine. As the hats took Mike, she immediately tried to free herself from the ropes by rubbing the ropes against the sharp piece of metal. It took a while, but she was finally free, though her wrists were somewhat scratched and bloody. She saw that by her feet was a long plank of wood from a leftover invention. She picked it up and headed straight to where Mike was.

The Invent Co. workers held Mike down as Doris stood over him, completely enraged.

"You just can't except your failure, CAN YOU?"

As she said that, a hat came zooming towards him, ready to pierce his chest with its claws when…

"HYYYAAAHHHH!!!"

The hat was batted away, along with some of the Invent Co. workers. Mike looked up, impressed to see it was Al, swinging the plank of wood around and knocking the hats out of the way. Al noticed Mike's look of surprise. She bowed a little at him.

"I learned form the best," she said with a wink. (A/N: If you read chapter 16, you know why h was impressed…)

"INCOMING!!!"

Wilbur suddenly jumped out of nowhere in front of Al and Mike and stopped a hat that was coming there way by using a long piece of scrap metal.

"Wilbur!" said Al in a delighted tone.

"Hang on guys…the artillery is coming!"

Wilbur motioned his head at the now free Robinsons, all of them holding a weapon with which to fight with. The family, along with Wilbur, Al, Mike, Carl and Ted, lunged themselves at the bowler hats, creating what would have looked like to a stranger as a very zany war.

Tallulah and Lazlo tag teamed together as they fought off two Invent Co workers. Lazlo picked them both up and flew them around in a circle. He let go, allowing his sister to kick them back in the air and landing harshly on the ground, making them unconscious. Lazlo went around squirting paint in the red light of the hats while Tallulah skated on her stylish car-shoes and knocked over a bunch of hats and workers.

Aunt Billie knocked some hats onto the ground and her Husband, Joe, using his chair, ran them all over. Gaston used his meatball canon to blast the hats into the walls. Uncle Art then proceeded to punch the hats, breaking them all in one punch. Fritz was too afraid to fight, but Petunia dragged him with her anyway.

"Take some of that! And some of THIS! YEAH! TAKE THAT YOU PANSIES!" she screamed as she batted the hats with a piece of wood, obviously enjoying herself. Fritz merely covered his eyes and allowed his wife to lead him to their doom.

Bud and Lucille were being cornered off by some hats, who showed their claws menacingly. Taking out his teeth, he used them as a boomerang and knocked them all out in a swift movement. Surprisingly, the teeth came back to Bud, like a real boomerang. Lucile hugged her husband tight.

"You still got it Bud," she said with a grin and he smiled…but then remembered that he had no teeth and put them back in his mouth.

Franny was beating up a few Invent Co workers using her awesome karate skills. Carl and Ted tag teamed and used their robot abilities to destroy the hats. Al and Wilbur fought side by side as hats kept coming toward them.

Doris was growing angry, stomping her feet. "YOU FOOLS! THERE JUST A BUNCH OF HUMANS!"

Mike was knocking off a few hats, and noticed he was leaning up against someone. He turned to see Cornelius Robinson, his old roommate who was also battling a few hats.

"Hello Goob. Long time no see eh?" said Cornelius as he destroyed a hat by making it knock into another one.

"Yeah…it's been a while Lewis," responded Mike as he too destroyed a few hats.

"Congrats on being nominated for the 'Scientist of the year award," said Cornelius.

"You too," said Mike.

Suddenly, something popped up into Mike's head. Something he remembered Doris telling him when she had him tied up in that old warehouse:

I control all the hats with my microchip… I control all the hats with my microchip…

"ROBINSON!" yelled Mike in revelation. "You and I can destroy Doris by destroying her microchip."

Cornelius gasped. "Of course! Brilliant! Since she duplicated herself, she is indeed in control of them all since she is the original copy. If we can find a way to destroy her microchip, it should destroy the other hats as well…"

"But…we'll need a distraction…"said Mike thoughtfully as he knocked out another hat. He saw an enraged Doris running over to where Wilbur and Al were and attacking them without warning.

"AL! WILBUR!" yelled Cornelius.

"Keep distracting her!" yelled Mike.

"Okay!" shouted Al.

"Come get a taste!" yelled Wilbur at Doris, egging her on with his hands. She screeched and lunged on top of Wilbur. Wilbur kicked Doris in the stomach, knocking her off of him. Wilbur smiled at his accomplishment.

"Oh yeah…Wilbur, you are a genius," he told himself, not realizing that Doris was right behind him.

"WILBUR LOOK OUT!" yelled Al.

But it was too late. Doris grabbed Wilbur from behind and threw him aside, making him hit against a wall. Then, Doris went for Al, tackling her to the ground.

"I don't see what that idiot sees in you," she said as Al struggled to get her off. "Look at you. You're worthless and unworthy of any sort of happiness…"

"I may have treated Mike badly…and yeah, you may be right about me not worthy of Mike's love…but you need to go. You have done nothing but ruin his lfe, and make everyone else miserable too. I've done some bad things to Mike, but maybe this…WILL MAKE UP FOR IT!"

Al pushed Doris off of her and with a swift movement, she slapped the hat right off of Mrs. Harlington's head. Mrs. Harlington fainted and Doris was on the ground, struggling to get up.

"NOW!"

Mike picked up the grappling hook and pierced the sharp part though Doris. She screeched and began to beep out curse words.

"You can't hurt me anymore Doris," he said with a small confident grin. 'I'm not going to dwell in the past anymore…unlike you…I'm going to Keep Moving Forward…and you…well…this is what happens when you dwell in the past too much!"

Cornelius then proceeded to take out Doris' microchip. Once he did…Doris; beeping ended. Cornelius put the chip on the ground and stomped on it, breaking it into small pieces.

She was finally gone.

Once Doris was destroyed, the other robots began to fail and malfunctions, erupting into hundreds of mini-explosions. The explosions were small, but because they all occurred at once, it caused the ceiling to fall right on top of them.

Cliffhanger like chapter! Oh no!! Well, Doris is finally GONE! WOO!!! YAY!!! And don't worry; no one's going to die or anything. I could never kill off a Robinson or even my own characters unless it was necessary. Get ready for more of those sweet romantic chapters you love so much1 Yuck…XD
