Chapter 17 Capturing The Project Destroyer

"What in the world happened and where is Velma?" Carl asked when the gang and Johnny came back. "While we were trying to solve the mystery we found this room that had all of the students who entered the science competition with big X's on their pictures and we figured it was like the bad guy's plan was to eliminate everyone from the competition until only you and Victor were the only ones left. Velma saw a logo on the mask that was found and she looked it up and when she found out where it came from Velma was going to come and tell you because apparently it was important for you to know when all of a sudden Velma was captured by the person doing this horrible deed because whoever this person is knows what Velma knows and wanted to put a stop to it by kidnapping my girlfriend" Johnny said to Carl. "Calm down Johnny we're going to find out who took Velma and destroying the projects that many of the students worked so hard on" Freddy assured Johnny because he had thought of an idea for a trap. "Ok Freddy what is your trap doing to be this time?" asked Daphne. "I'm glad you asked and I'm going to need Carl, Victor and Dr. Escargot's help that is alright with you guys?" Freddy said to the three of them. "Sure Freddy but how can we help?" Carl curiously asked. Freddy told his plans to the three of them of how it was going to happen and they were up for it. As the plan for trapping the person doing this awful deed was coming into place the person who had been causing trouble and kidnapped Velma was planning on shutting off the lights again and destroying the remaining projects. Before the person committing the crime could shut off the lights he heard Dr. Escargot making a speech, "I know that the other students who worked so hard are upset that their projects were destroyed and I'm sorry about what happened. Since the other student's inventions and experiments were destroyed the finalist are the student body president Carl Chryniszzswics and Victor Stevens. My fellow judges and I will make our final decision and declare the winner in a few minutes so please be patient."

All of a sudden the doors burst opened and the lights went dim but everyone was still able to see each other's faces. The criminal ran towards Victor's invention ready to smash it with his giant hammer but before anything could happen Freddy signaled his friends to throw the giant net on to the person responsible for destroying the other experiments and inventions and caught the culprit with no problem. "LET ME GO!" demanded the culprit. "Not a chance" Daphne told him. Everyone in the event room walked over to the person responsible for committing the crime including Carl and Johnny who was very concern about his missing girlfriend Velma. "Now let's see who is behind this crime" Freddy said as he pulled off the culprit's mask. Carl gasped at who was responsible. "Theodore but why would you do this?" Carl asked his cousin who then answered, "Because you're the smartest person in our family and you deserve to win not the son of the president of Miskatonic University who didn't have to do anything to get into this School unlike you due to the fact that I recalled how hard you studied for the Miskatonic University entrance exam. After my last visit with you I saw the articles on your desk about the other students who entered the Miskatonic University science competition with their experiments and inventions so I stole them and created my secret room here at Miskatonic University. I really wanted you to win because our great grandfather's company isn't doing well so I thought that your invention of a giant size solar power toy car would be the ticket to saving the toy company so I wore the costume ninja mask that our family's company created but it was my stupid mistake of dropping my other mask because that was when I found out that girl with the orange turtle neck found out where the logo came from when she and her friends found the room where I was scheming my plan. I kidnapped her because I didn't want to tell you that it was me who was behind all this and I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids, that dog and the blonde idiot you hang out with." "WHO YOU CALLING A BLONDE IDIOT?!" Johnny screamed as he came running towards Theodore ready to punch his lights out. "No Johnny!" Carl told him while trying to hold him back. "What my insane did was very wrong and I doubt I'll ever forgive him because I want to win fair and square. Plus if anyone is going to punch him the face it's going to be me!" Carl punched Theodore hard which sent him flying onto the floor. "Wow Carl I didn't know you could punch that hard" Johnny said. "Me either! OUCH OUCH OUCH!" Carl screamed because his hand was in pain. "Where is my girlfriend Ms. Jinkies? You're the one who kidnapped her because she found out the truth and you didn't want her to tell anyone. TELL ME WHERE SHE IS OR I SWEAR…." Johnny began threating Theodore who was ready to knock out Carl's cousin. "Calm down your girlfriend is fine. Your precious Ms. Jinkies is in the medical room. I brought her there because I felt bad that I hit her pretty hard on her head and I must say I don't know what she sees in you. A smart and beautiful woman like her deserves to be with a smart and handsome guy like me not some brainless doofus" Theodore stated which Johnny over the edge and smacked him as hard as possible. "Theodore when I tell Aunt Ruthie what you did she'll be extremely disappointed in you" Carl said because Carl's Aunt was Theodore's mother who hates it when somebody does something to embarrass the family.

Before Theodore was arrested Victor walked up to him and proudly stated, "I didn't get into this school because my mother is the president. I got in because just like Carl I studied really hard for the entrance exams and I told my mother that I wanted to get in on my own which she understood and respected. Not having to pay such a high tuition is a plus when your mother is the president of Miskatonic University which allows me to get really big discounts on everything school related including text books but since day one I've worked really hard and I always thought of Carl as my main rival but after everything that has happened I'm proud to call him my friend." Carl was touched at what Victor said and thanked him for his kind words. The judges came to a decision and Dr. Escargot said, "I know this is not really the time to say this but the judges and I have made a decision. I declare that both Carl and Victor are this year's Miskatonic University Science Competition winners for their amazing inventions." "Oh wow this is awesome congratulations Victor" Carl told him. "You too Carl and hey since we both won that means we're going to have to split the grant money amongst ourselves 50/50 is that cool with you?" Victor asked. "That's fine by me" Carl answered as pictures were taken for the school newspaper that was going to tell the story of everything that happened. As for Johnny he ran as fast as he could along with the gang to see if Velma was in the medical room as Theodore said. "When I find Velma I'm going to hold her in my arms and never let her go" Johnny declared. "Really? That's so sweet of you to say" Velma said as she came walking towards her boyfriend with an ice pack on her head. "Velma you're ok. I was so worried about you" Johnny said as he hugged his girlfriend in a loving embrace in which she did as well. "Velma we're all glad that you're fine" Daphne said as she and the rest of the gang hugged their friend. "Like how did you escape?" asked Shaggy. "After I woke up with this headache I looked for a way out and the dummy who captured me forgot to lock the door so I left the medical room to find you guys but it looks like you found me instead" Velma answered.

"Come on Velma let me take you back to your dorm to put you in bed that way you can get some rest and feel better in the morning" Offered Johnny which Velma was grateful for. On the way back Johnny told Velma that Carl's cousin Theodore was the one behind everything including her kidnapping and that both Carl and Victor were declared the winners. Velma couldn't believe what happened but was relieved that it was all over. "Good night Ms. Jinkies" Johnny said as he sweetly tucked Velma into bed after she was done getting ready. "Good night Johnny Boo" Velma said as they kissed each other good night before he left. Velma's headache went away and Johnny was right about getting a good night's rest because the next morning she was feeling better which was a big relief not only to her friends but to Johnny as well.
