Chapter Five: Plans and Schemes

Professor Screw-Eyes kept cackling as the transformed Elsa carried him through the air. They had flown high over city buildings to get away from his brother and his friends. The Pterodactyl soon landed at the docks and set her master down before dropping down herself. The professor then said, "Well, we had better hurry. Don't want to allow my brother and your former pesky friends to catch up to us."

Elsa just growled and followed Screw-Eyes as he walked along the dock. They soon came to a small yacht tied to the dock. Though it was small, the yacht looked as if it had come straight from a nightmare. Professor Screw-Eyes smiled and said, "Ah, thankfully, my purchases are still accessible, even with my sudden 'passing', apparently."

The professor looked around to see if there was any security. He could see a few security guards patrolling about in front of the yacht and found it a little irksome to have an obstacle. He knew that if either he or his new minion were to cause a scene. But he knew that in order to reach the yacht then he would have to do something. With an evil grin, Professor Screw-Eyes looked to his new minion and pointed as he commanded, "Take them out. Then join me on the yacht."

Elsa growled while nodding her head. Then with a flap of her bat-like wings she took off into the shadows. While she was doing that, Screw-Eyes started moving closer to the boat and waited to make his move.

The security guards stood by the ramp to board the yacht when they heard the sound of flapping wings. The two men looked about before looking up. The transformed Elsa screeched as she came down at them. The two security guards screamed as they went for their weapons. But before they could whip out their night stick or pistol, Elsa grabbed onto one of their arms before hoisting them up into the air. Both men continued to scream as they were lifted over the river before being released. They landed with a splash before coming back up to the surface. But as they were looking around, Elsa had once again disappeared into the shadows.

The Professor on the other hand, had bolted for the yacht once Elsa had gotten rid of them. Moving fast he undid the mooring lines. When he ran for the cabin and turned the key, the scary yacht came to life as black smoke came from the exhaust pipes and the mad man let out a cackle. A thump on the deck made him look out the window to see Elsa standing there. A smirk appeared on Professor Screw-Eye's face again before he pushed on the throttle and the ship jerked forward.

The scary looking yacht travelled along the river to get away from the city. Screw-Eyes gave one last cackle as they sailed across the river.

Back at the museum, everyone was still downcast about what had happened in the park. Everyone was up in the housing area of the museum. Kane was leaning against the side of the door as he was fuming about what had happened. Louie was trying to console Cecilia as she was sitting in a chair crying her eyes out. Professor Neweyes was talking with Ginger. Dweeb and Woog were trying to drown their sorrows with hotdogs. Rex was standing at the window, looking up at the night sky, wishing that there was some kind of sign of their friend.

"Screw-Eyes will be looking to leave the state with Elsa in tow. That much we do know." Ginger said as she thought of the mad man's next move. Looking to the door she asked, "Kane? You wouldn't happen to know what Screw-Eyes' next move would be, would you?"

"Unfortunately not." The wrestler shook his head. Walking into the room he said, "All I know about the guy is when he summons me to a time and a place."

"So, you can't give us anything else?" Captain Neweyes asked him. Kane once again shook his head. Ginger then said, "Our next best bet is to wait for some news about Professor Screw-Eyes' move."

"Which means we'll have to listen in on the police radio, television to see if there was anything odd that occurred in the last few hours." The Captain said and rubbed the back of his neck. Louie looked away from Cecilia and asked, "What's gonna happen to Elsa?"

"I'm not sure." Ginger said and started to leave the room. When she neared the door she glanced back and said, "All I know is that her mind has been altered. But it's not the same as before."

"Where are you going?" Dweeb asked her. Ginger looked to the Parasaurolophus and said, "Back to the grounds. Hopefully to find a clue on what happened to Elsa and what Screw-Eyes' plan is."

"I'll go with you." Captain Neweyes said and walked out of the room with her. That just left the children, the dinosaurs and the wrestler alone. Rex hardly moved from his spot and it made Louie worry. Walking away from the weeping Cecilia, Louie walked up to the orange T-rex. Placing a hand on the large dinosaur's leg, Louie asked, "Rex, are you okay?"

"No. I'm not okay, kid." Rex shook his head. He didn't turn away from the window when he said, "We should have fought harder for her. We should have done more to save her."

"And we're gonna save her." Louie promised as he clenched a fist. Rex looked to Louie for the first time since they got back and said, "We better. 'Cause I don't know what I'm gonna do if we don't."

"And thanks for saving me back at the park." Louie added. Rex gave a small grin as he lightly bumped Louie and said, "Hey, what are friends for."

The scary looking yacht continued to sail along the river as it remained in the shadows of the night. Professor Screw-Eyes made it to where the yacht would drift on the river. Coming out of the cabin, Screw-Eyes looked to his new minion and said, "We're sailing on the high seas now, girl.

"And when we get to the other side of the country, my more brilliant plan will be put into motion." He said as he thought about the future. Pointing to her as he came down the steps he said, "Though you won't be an attraction, you will help get the other new recruits to fall in line."

"New recruits?" Elsa asked with a deep voice. Screw-Eyes nodded, "Yes. You've probably already heard about the future of bringing more of your kind to the future."

"Yes." She hissed and nodded. He continued, "I happen to know of which museum is going to have there own group of dinosaurs. All fed my brother's lousy cereal and given a new life where they don't have to act like the savage beasts they are.

"We on the other hand, are going to those museums and be bringing those new recruits over to our side." Screw-Eyes finished. Elsa titled her head and asked with a growl, "How?"

"With the same thing that I gave you." Professor Screw-Eyes said as the boat continued to drift. They heard the sounds of more engines and looked about to see smaller boats coming up to them. Elsa went on the defensive as she growled. But she was calmed when Screw-Eyes said, "Easy, my dear. There friends of mine."

But that didn't put the Pterodactyl at ease as they watched smaller boats drift up to the side of the yacht. When they were close enough, they threw up grappling hooks before climbing on to the yacht. When they were all on board, the Professor gave a dark grin as he said, "Welcome! Welcome, my friends. So glad that you could join us."

"Just say the word, boss. And we'll get the job done." One of the men said. Professor Screw-Eyes nodded and said, "Good, good. First things first, we need to secure us a train out of the state. No doubt that the TTB will be on our tails and I want to make a quiet getaway."

"No problem, sir." Another man said. Then he said, "Just meet us in the train yard a mile outside the city and all will be set up for ya."

"A pleasure working with you, gentleman." Professor Screw-Eyes said with a nod. Then with a sweep of his hand he ordered, "Now go and get it done."

All of Screw-Eyes' minions quickly jumped off the yacht and back onto their personal boats. Screw-Eyes and Elsa watched as they sped away from them to carry out their orders.

Ginger and Captain Neweyes walked through the ruined nightmare circus grounds. They saw a few of Screw-Eyes' goth thugs being rounded up by the police after the commotion from earlier. Neweyes looked to his friend and asked, "So, what do you hope to find?"

"To see what Screw-Eyes did to Elsa. And maybe a way to reverse it." She said as they approached the ruined train car. Sliding the door open, both Ginger and Neweyes cringed from the grating sound on their ears. Climbing in, Ginger helped her friend into the car before the two looked around.

"Okay, we have a chemistry set here." Ginger said as she looked over all the equipment. The captain walked over to the end of the set and took notice of a plate. Waving with his hand he said, "Over here, Ginger."

"What have you found?" She asked and walked over. Carefully picking up an item from the plate, Neweyes narrowed his eyes when he said, "Looks like my brother's Brain Drain pills. But greatly altered."

"No doubt." Ginger said before taking a look at it. After a moment she said, "Judging by the appearance of the pill and the fact that Elsa didn't seem as feral as she did when she took the original formula, this Brain Drain only slightly alters the subject."

"Then there might be a way to reach her even more?" Captain Neweyes asks her. Ginger could only shrug, "Perhaps, but she was still very vicious during the fight with the others."

"I'm gonna take some of these back with me. See if there's a way to reverse its effects." Ginger said as she picked up a few. Turning to her friend she said, "I want you to close the four's exhibit in museum for now. To avoid too much suspicion."

"Julia's not gonna be too happy about that." Neweyes shook his head. Ginger sighed, "I know. But it's all necessary."

\_|_/

The duo had returned back to the museum and told Ms. Bleeb. Kane had left for a hotel to stay some time ago. She looked distraught when they told her to close off the exhibit, but complied nonetheless. Louie, Cecilia, Rex, Woog and Dweeb were also disappointed by this. Ginger then said, "I'll try to be back as soon as I can."

"Take care, Ginger." Captain Neweyes said. She nodded before walking out of the room. He looked to the three and said, "Just try to lay low for now. When Ginger gets back, then we'll make our next move."

"And what about us?" Louie asked while gesturing to him and Cecilia. Neweyes placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and said, "For now, I want the two of you to head home and just wait, okay."

"Okay." Both children said. Neweyes ushered them to the door and said, "I'll go and take you home."

The children walked out with the captain following after them. But as they walked through the door, Neweyes stopped and looked back to the dinosaurs. With a sigh he asked, "Try and stay out of trouble, okay."

"Yes, sir." All three nodded. With that, he walked out of the room and shut behind him.

In a lab in the future, Ginger walked through the halls of the TTB building. She came into an office where six people were sitting at a circular table. Each of them were dressed in a fancy suit and tie. One of the women at the table asked, "And how was the trip to congratulate Neweyes on his project?"

"It has taken an unexpected turn." Ginger informed. This caused a few eye brows to rise up and one of the men asked, "What do you mean?"

"It appears that Professor Screw-Eyes still lives." She said as she adjusted her visor. The other heads of the TTB gasped at the news before she added, "And he has taken one of the four as a minion again. But with a different type of Brain Drain pill."

"Show us, please." A woman with blonde hair requested. Ginger reached into her pocket before bringing out a holder. Opening it, she took one of the pills out before placing it on the table. The six took a good look at it before one of the men asked, "And what makes it so different from the other Brain Drain pills that we've seen from the captain's report?"

"Besides the color." Ginger stated the obvious. Then she said, "The one who was taken, the Pterodactyl Elsa, was complying with orders on command. With the original formula…"

"The subjects required the professor's hypnotism in order." The blonde-haired woman finished. Ginger nodded to confirm it. Another woman asked, "So what is your plan?"

"I do have one. But it requires that we go down a dark and dangerous road." Ginger told them. She hung her head as she could only hope that her new friends will forgive her for suggesting it.
