Present day Waterfall.

Undyne swam towards the Flooded Fortress to see what was going on and what had caused the explosions from earlier. She saw a large number of toad monsters doing battle with frog monsters as well as the Armored Toad hovering above firing a few missiles at the walls. The missiles struck the walls sending frog monsters flying. A few brave frogs appeared on the walls with bows and arrows and fired at Armored Toad, but their shots hit the armor and merely shattered to bits, which made Armored Toad laugh as he landed on the wall.

"Today victory will be mine! The end draws near for you and the frogs, Wart!" Declared Armored Toad as he marched into the fort looking for Wart.

"Time to crash this party." Said Undyne to herself as she leaped out of the water and began to knock toad monsters around with her spear.

The frog monsters cheered with delight as they saw Undyne and the toad monsters cursed. Undyne took down a couple dozen toad monsters before she found a way to enter the Flooded Fortress and headed inside to stop Armored Toad and save Wart.

Back at the film set the crew along with Wendy, Stan, Gideon, and Huntress Wizard were parting and having a little feast. The film crew were happy that they had a successful day of filming, that the people of GRAPE had liked and the Squeaks were defeated and captured in a cage. Huntress Wizard snacked on some grapes as she stood guard by the cage that held Spinni, Storo, and Doc.

"You better let us go if you know what's good for you girl." Said Spinni.

"Is your boss Daroach coming to bust you out?" Asked Huntress Wizard.

"You bet he is. Daroach knows we're in trouble and is already making plans to rescue us. No one can stand up to his cunning and magic." Said Spinni.

"Is that so?" Asked Huntress Wizard.

"It is." Said Spinni.

"Well I'd like to see him try. I'm a expert of dealing with criminals that use magic." Said Huntress Wizard as she continued eating her grapes.

Spinni just glared at Huntress Wizard and remained silent.

Gideon sat nearby trying to figure out exactly how he was supposed to eat since he was a vampire. He tried to recall anything he could remember about Marceline and how she ate. He tried to eat some bananas and some crackers and though he was able to eat them and swallow them, they just didn't seem to fill him or give him any form of energy. Gideon then picked up a red apple and placed it into his mouth and his fangs sank into it. There was a odd sucking sound and Gideon felt a strange sensation go through him as he watched in stunned amazement as all the red of the apple suddenly began to drain from it. Gideon was sucking the red right out of the apple! All the red was drained and Gideon felt a bit energized as he took the apple, which was now white out of his mouth to inspect it.

"Well that's something. I wonder if the same thing applies to other red objects or just food?" Said Gideon.

Gideon looked around and saw a red scarf hanging from a costume rack and decided to give it a shot. He made sure no one was looking before grabbing the scarf placing it up to his fangs and began to drain the red out of it. Gideon felt himself become more energized and fool as the red was completely drained from the scarf. It appeared any red would do to fill him up. Gideon thought that was a good thing to know and he wondered what other powers he might have.

Out under the water, Mabel, Rain, Locke, and Firth were making their way to the film set to present the evidence they found at the coral mine to Undyne. All was going good, until a sixth sense told Rain to look behind the group. Rain turned his head to see a large shark swimming not too far behind him and the others!

"Shark!" Yelled Rain.

The others turned to see the shark and they all quickly picked up the pace as the shark began to give chase! They swam and swam as fast as they could as the shark closed the distance. The fleeing group passed a large rock formation as the shark continued to chase after them and then suddenly what the others had assumed had been part of the rock formation moved revealing itself to be a gigantic 40 foot tall crab monster!

"What is that thing?!" Yelled Locke.

"It's Pagurus the Ravenous!" Screamed Firth figuring out that this had to be the giant crab monster they had been warned about.

Pagurus was a massive crab with a white and purple shell covered in barnacles and bits of seaweed. He had a large seashell eyepatch covering his right eye and a small bucket on top of his head like a tiny hat. The most disturbing thing about Pagurus was that he had some giant eating utensils strapped to his claws. A fork on his right claw and a knife on his left claw.

The shark turned it's attention to Pagurus and rushed at the giant crab. Pagurus was bigger then the shark, but instead of rushing the predator he quickly sidestepped and got behind the shark stabbing it in the back with his fork penning it to the ground with quick and terrifying ease. The shark thrashed around on the ground trying to break free, but couldn't. Pagurus raised his giant knife and stabbed down slicing the shark to bits and making the water turn red with blood! Mabel and her group watched on in horror as Pagurus sliced the shark up and began to devour it.

"We need to swim! Once that monster finishes up with that shark it'll come after us!" Said Rain.

The other agreed and they quickly began to swim as fast as they could from the scene as Pagurus continued to eat. Pagurus cast a glance at the fleeing group as he ate his meal and took note of their direction. It only took Pagurus a minute to finish his meal before he took off after the fleeing group.

Elsewhere, Rock Wizard and the two Eliminators were on the job tracking down the live and rogue spellbook. The little group asked the locals in Waterfall about seeing the spellbook and after a bit of searching through some local towns they eventually came across the object flying around causing trouble. The Spellbook was a purple book, with a picture of a portal on the front and back cover, with its face is on the side.

The Spellbook floated flew through the air opening tiny blue portals that unleashed fireballs, snakes, and tiny bombs.

"Seems like a bad book." Said the first Eliminator.

"Hey you can't judge a book by it's cover. It could be a real page turner." Said the second Eliminator.

"We still got to book him. Will do this by the book." Said the first Eliminator.

"Enough book puns." Said Rock Wizard.

The three of them approached Spellbook and Rock Wizard raised a rock wall in front of the rogue to keep it from flying away and getting it's attention.

"What's the big idea?" Demanded Spellbook as it turned to face Rock Wizard and the Eliminators.

"You've been causing trouble and we've been asked to stop you. Now surrender." Said Rock Wizard.

"Never! You're not going to uproot my fun!" Declared Spellbook before he transformed into a enormous tree with a face.

Spellbook laughed as he dropped some acorns from his branches that exploded once they hit the ground forcing Rock Wizard to raise a rock shield to protect him and the Eliminators. After surviving the first attack one of the Eliminators stepped out from behind the shield and used his dark sucking power to inhale one of the acorns. The Eliminator's hand turned into a blaster and he shot exploding acorns from it striking Spellbook exploding making him shout in pain.

"Stop him!" Yelled Spellbook as their was a rustling from the branches.

Dozens of squirrels shot out of the branches, jumped onto the Eliminator, and began attacking him!

"Get them off! These guys are nuts!" Yelled the Eliminators as he swatted at the squirrels.

The other Eliminator came to his comrade's aid and helped swat the squirrels off as Rock Wizard faced Spellbook.

"You really picked a bad form to change into with a opponent like me." Said Rock Wizard as he pointed his hands at the ground.

The ground around Spellbook began to shake violently and then the ground beneath Spellbook began to rise high into the air! Spellbook yelled in surprise as the floating ground suddenly picked up speed and slammed hard into the ground bursting into bits and causing cracks to appear and spread across his tree body. The magical being changed back into his book form and the squirrels all vanished.

"Had enough?" Asked Rock Wizard.

"Not...yet!" Growled Spellbook as he flew into the air and transformed again.

This time Spellbook transformed into a normal size human looking wizard with blonde hair, pointy ears, and purple eyes. He wore a purple pointed wizard hat, a white shirt with a purple gemstone at the front, purple pants, brown shoes, and a purple wizard robe.

"How do you like me now?" Asked Spellbook as he produced a black and white wand and fired a bolt of magic lightning from it that struck Rock Wizard and the Eliminators sending them flying back and crashing into a building.

"Not...bad. I'll admit you're quite strong. You must have been owned and created by some powerful people in your time. That just makes me more curious and determined to capture you." Said Rock Wizard as he pushed himself off the ground.

Spellbook just smirked as he raised his wand up in the air and he began to grow, until he was roughly 30 feet tall. He then waved his wand and three portals appeared and a trio of tiny angels flew out. One angel had red hair and wore a red toga and carried a giant lite candle, the second angel had green hair and wore a green toga carried a large electrical fan, and the last angel had blue hair and wore a blue toga as he rode in a sled that was pulled by a reindeer made out of ice.

"Now witness my power!" Declared Spellbook as he waved the angels forward.

"Will deal with the small fries sir. You go after the big guy." Said one Eliminator.

"Alright I leave them to you." Said Rock Wizard as he flew forward.

The angel with blue hair charged forward on his sled, his reindeer freezing everything in ice that it touched and came close to. Rock Wizard flew over the angel and his sled and dodged a burst of wind from the green angel's fan and a fireball from the red angel's candle. The blue angel managed to hit one Eliminator with his sled and partial freeze him in ice as the other one dodged. The second Eliminator sucked a fireball up from the red angel, copied the ability and fired a fireball at the ice reindeer, hitting it, and making it explode. The blue angel lost control of his sled and crashed as the second Eliminator went about unfreezing his companion. The two remaining angels got angry and closed in on the Eliminators to attack them.

The second Eliminator freed his companion and they were both slammed into a wall with a gust of wind from the green angel. The first Eliminator managed to fire a laser from his hand at the fan making it explode and knock the angel to the ground, while the second Eliminator blasted the red angel's candle with a laser making it explode and cover the red angel in wax knocking him to the ground.

As the Eliminators fought the angels Rock Wizard fought Spellbook. Rock Wizard flew around Spellbook pelting him with rocks as Spellbook swatted at him with one giant hand and tried to blast him with more lightning, only to have Rock Wizard avoid his attacks. Spellbook quickly got annoyed by this and attempted to stomp on Rock Wizard, who dodged out of the way and Spellbook's foot hit the ground and began to sink into it. He tried to pull his leg out, but couldn't and then the rest of his body began to sink into the ground as well.

"What's going on?" Yelled Spellbook.

"That would be my magic doing it's thing. I turned the solid earth into quicksand, while we were fighting. Now you're sinking. I suggest you surrender now." Said Rock Wizard.

Spellbook tried to zap Rock Wizard with his wand, but Rock Wizard knocked it out of his hand with a well placed rock. He summoned his angels to come save him, but the Eliminators blasted them before they had a chance to save him. Rock Wizard decided to put a end to this by summoning a large rock that dropped onto Spellbook's head knocking him out and turning him back into his book form. The angels vanished and Rock Wizard turned the quicksand back to normal ground and picked up Spellbook to examine his pages.

"Well this is interesting. I think Undyne and the others would like to see what's inside this book." Said Rick Wizard.

With that said Rock Wizard and the Eliminators headed back to Undyne's house.

Back at the film set everyone was enjoying themselves when suddenly there was a explosion near the set that created a large cloud of smoke getting everyone's attention. Huntress Wizard glanced over at the Squeaks and saw they were smirking and knew right away that their leader Daroach had arrived on the scene to save them. She readied her bow and took up a fighting stance as the smoke cleared to reveal the leader of the Squeaks.

Daroach was a gray mouse-like monster with round floating paws and three long yellow claws on each forepaw. He ore a red top hat and a jagged red cloak held together by a golden bell. Daroach had large ears and eyes with yellow scleras, brown irises, and slit-like pupils. He held a short black and white cane topped with a red gemstone.

Morty ordered his crew to grab the cameras and begin filming as Huntress Wizard went to confront Daroach.

"I take it you're Daroach?" Asked Huntress Wizard.

"I am Daroach, the captain of the treasure-hunting Squeaks. It has come to my attention that you have interfered with my crew's job, but you have captured them as well. A impressive feat, but your victory won't last much longer, because I'm here to liberate them. Now kindly step aside and there will be no trouble between us." Said Daroach before he began floating in the air.

Huntress Wizard fired an arrow at Daroach, who dodged it and fired a blast of energy from his cane. She dodged out of the way and the ground around where she had once stood became frozen in ice.

"Ice magic huh? It's powerful, but no where near the level of Simon, Betty, or Patience." Thought Huntress Wizard before firing a couple of arrows at Daroach.

Daroach teleported out of the way and reappeared a few years away holding a gold scepter with a square top with stars decorating it. He swung the scepter and three large golden stars appeared and began to hop around the place. Huntress Wizard dodged a star and shot a magical bolt of lightning from the hand not holding her bow that struck Daroach making him shout in pain. She tried to shoot Daroach with a arrow, but he quickly recovered and threw a bomb at Huntress Wizard. Huntress Wizard jumped out of the way as the bomb exploded in a bright fiery flash. She quickly fired another blast of lightning from her hands, but Daroach teleported away and reappeared near the cage holding the Squeaks. Daroach pulled out his wand and was about to blast the cage with it to free his men, but Wendy charged onto the scene swinging her ax at Daroach forcing him to fly away.

"My you are quite troublesome." Grumbled Daroach with annoyance as he glared at both Huntress Wizard and Wendy.

Before anything else could be said or done there was a loud bubbling sound from the water near the film set that got everyone's attention. Everyone turned to look at the water as it bubbled and then a huge geyser shot out as a enormous shape rose out of the water and four shapes flew through the air and landed on the ground. The shapes on the ground were Mabel, Rain, Locke, and Firth and the enormous thing towering over the film set was Pagurus!

"Crab monster!" Yelled one of the set crew as Pagurus stepped onto shore and began to start smashing stuff.

Huntress Wizard and Wendy turned their attention towards Pagurus and ran towards the monster to confront him, ignoring Daroach and the Squeaks. Daroach watched as Pagurus wrecked the film set and simply shrugged his shoulders as he blasted the cage and freed the Squeaks.

"Come on crew we're getting out of here." Said Daroach.

The rest of the Squeaks needed no more encouraging as they and their boss fled the scene.

The film set was in complete chaos as Pagurus stomped about. The giant crab monster smashed the fake city and then devoured all the food at the tables. The set crew ran and screamed as Morty filmed the whole thing. Stan and Gideon stumbled around not sure what to do, before they both managed to spot Mabel and her friends laying on the ground dazed. They knew they had to rescue them and get Mabel back in the water. As Stan and Gideon made their way to Mabel and the others, Huntress Wizard fired a half dozen arrows at Pagurus that exploded rocking the giant monster back and one of it's legs almost stepped on Gideon! Gideon managed to dodge out of the way, but he scraped the palm of his righthand on a set piece making him cry out and whence in pain as blood dripped from his hand. He ignored it as he continued onwards towards Mabel. Gideon managed to reach Mabel as she was pushing herself up and the girl's eyes went wide in fear at something behind Gideon. Gideon turned around to see Pagurus swinging his knife at a fake building cutting it to pieces and sending a good size chunk at him and Mabel.

"I got to protect Mabel! Oh I really wish I had some kind of useful power right now!" Thought Gideon as he raised his hands in front of himself and Mabel in an attempt to protect them.

It was then something odd occurred. Blood gushed out of Gideon's palm and shot out forming and hardening into a large red shield. The fake building chunk struck the shield with a loud clang. Huntress Wizard struck Pagurus with more arrows that exploded sending him reeling back. Gideon who quickly realized he wasn't dead or in serious pain looked at his new shield in shock.

"What the?" Said Gideon before he lost focus and the shield turned back into liquid blood that fell to the ground.

Gideon instantly became woozy and fell onto his back. Mabel stared at Gideon in shock wondering what just happened. Did Gideon use magic or was it some kind of ability he got from becoming a vampire? Before Mabel could ponder more about this, Pagurus's claw suddenly appeared and picked her by the front of her shirt lifting her up in the air.

"Help!" Yelled Mabel as she struggled to break free.

Mabel's struggle couldn't break Pagurus's grip, but it did cause the claw that held her to tear into the sweater she was wearing. Little by little the sweater tore, until finally it ripped completely and Mabel fell to the ground screaming and topless as the remains of her sweater still remained in Pagurus's claw. Mabel closed her eyes expecting to crash hard into the ground, but Stan raced onto the scene carrying a crash mat used for stunts and broke Mabel's fall.

"You ok?" Asked Stan as he carried Mabel away from Pagurus who wasn't so pleased his food got away.

"I'm fine, but I'm going to need a new top to cover myself." Said Mabel wrapping her arms across her chest and laying down to prevent exposing herself.

"Don't worry I'm sure we can find something in the costumes that will work." Said Stan as he raced away from Pagurus.

Rain, Locke, and Firth recovered and also raced away from Pagurus. Locke helped picked up the dazed Gideon and dragged him to safety.

Huntress Wizard raced around Pagurus firing arrows into him as the giant monster tried to smash her with his claws and tried to stab the wizard with his utensils. Wendy raced to the giant crab with a mad feral look in her eyes as she climbed one of the beast's legs and reached the top of Pagurus's body. The werewolf girl raised her ax up high and slammed it into the shell with all her might. There was a faint cracking sound as some cracks appeared on the top of Pagurus's body. Pagurus's was not happy about this and began to shake his body around to try and shake Wendy off. Wendy tried to stay on the bucking crab, but she eventually lost her footing and was thrown off crashing onto one of the fake buildings.

Pagurus let out a growl as he stomped over to the fake building where Wendy had landed determined to extract revenge and devour the werewolf. He raised his claws high in the air and was about to bring them down, when something burst from the water nearby and flew through the air slamming into Pagurus's face sending him crashing back as more cracks appeared on his shell. The thing that hit Pagurus landed on the ground revealing itself to be Coral Siren in her mech suit.

"Looks like I arrived just in time." Said Coral Siren.

"How did you find out about this?" Asked Huntress Wizard.

"One of the film crew was doing a live stream of the fight and I decided to come in and help out." Said Coral Siren.

"You got any weapons on that thing?" Asked Wendy as she pulled herself out of the wreckage of the fake building she crashed into.

"I got bombs." Said Coral Siren.

"That'll help." Said Huntress Wizard as Pagurus began to recover and get back up.

"Alright. Fire in the hole!" Said Coral Siren as she pushed some buttons on her controls.

A hatch on the back of the mech opened up and a dozen bombs flew out and struck Pagurus and exploded. Pagurus yelled in pain as more cracks appeared on his shell and a few holes opened up. Huntress Wizard fired arrows at the exposed bits inflicting more damage onto Pagurus and caused the crab monster to topple over onto his side. Wendy rushed at Pagurus dodging his trashing claws and began to chop away at him with her ax. Blood gushed from Pagurus as Wendy cut into him and then she went crazy and feral and tossed the ax to the side and began to tear into the crab monster with her fangs and claws like a wild beast. Eventually Pagurus stopped moving and died as Wendy stood atop the monster and let out a wild howl of victory.

"Um...Wendy are you ok? You're kind of freaking us out." Said Mabel as she was sporting a new red short sleeve top as Stan carried her.

"Yeah. You need to cool down and clean up." Said Stan.

The voices seemed to snap Wendy out of her crazed state and she blinked her eyes in confusion as she tasted a old copper taste in her mouth. Wendy looked down at the dead crab monster and took notice of the blood that was on her. She momentarily freaked out fearing the blood was hers, but realized she was unharmed and the blood was from Pagurus.

"Did... I kill that monster?" Asked Wendy.

"You did." Said Huntress Wizard.

"I don't...even remember doing that. It was like something else was in control." Said Wendy with a fearful expression on her face.

"It's ok. Don't be afraid. Will figure this out." Said Huntress Wizard.

Wendy nodded as she got off the crab corpse and some of the film crew pointed her to a bathroom that she could use to clean herself off. Locke found some red food for Gideon and helped replenish his energy. The crew went about trying to clean the set as best they could as they made a few calls to try and get the giant crab monster removed.

"This is another movie masterpiece." Said Morty with glee as he turned the camera off.

Back over at the Flooded Fortress, Undyne had tracked down the Armored Toad to the throne room. Wart was cowering behind his throne as the Armored Toad made short work of some guards, before turning his attention to Wart. The Armored Toad prepared to blast Wart, but Undyne threw a spear at him that struck and exploded sending the toad monster stumbling back.

"Who did?" Demanded Armored Toad.

"I did. Captain Undyne of the Royal Guard. Surrender and cease your attack and I will spare you." Said Undyne.

"The great Undyne. Well Captain, you don't scare me! I got the power here not you! Anyone who dares stand in my way of getting this fortress will die!" Declared Armored Toad before he rushed forward and slammed his fists down at Undyne.

Undyne leaped into the air to avoid getting crushed and fell down stabbing the armor with a spear. The armored sparked and a tiny chunk blew off as Armored Toad reeled back. Undyne threw another spear at Armored Toad, but a red energy shield popped up blocking the attack.

"You can't hurt me!" Laughed Armored Toad.

"Well can you attack me, while your shield is up?" Asked Undyne.

Armored Toad was silent for a few seconds and then he raised his arms up and the shield dropped as he fired some missiles at Undyne forcing her to run to avoid getting hit. The toad monster laughed as he fired more missiles after Undyne that struck the walls and furniture. Undyne took a deep breath and carefully waited for the right moment to attack and she did. She threw a spear at the exact moment Armored Toad fired a missile and it exploded nearly point-blank destroying a good chunk of Armored Toad's armor and knocking the villain to the ground. Armored Toad tried to get back to his feet, but Undyne rushed him and stabbed the armor with her spear causing it to spark and blow to bits leaving Armored Toad in nothing, but his underwear.

"No wait!" Screamed Armored Toad in fear.

Undyne punched Armored Toad in his face knocking him out cold.

"Yes! I'm saved! Thank you!" Said Wart happily.

Undyne managed to wake a couple of the guards up and with their help they dragged the unconscious form of Armored Toad out to the wall where the toad monsters could see their defeated leader. The toad monsters immediately retreated from the Flooded Fortress as the frog guards dragged Armored Toad to the dungeon.

With that completed Undyne made her way back to the film set to check on the others as she wondered who created the armor for Armored Toad.

To be continued.
