Upon entering the Boneyard, Brad spotted a little doghouse with an empty water bowl next to it. Next to those things was a little patch of dirt with a small plant poking out, which given his new water spraying ability, gave Brad an idea. He walked over to it and sprayed it with water, watching as it began to grow a bit! 

"Nothing like a little gardening to ease one's mind." Brad said to himself, pleased with what he had done. 

Upon turning around, he froze as he spotted a ghostly wolf pup sleeping in its house, his teeth suddenly chattering. 

"Who or what is that?!" Brad yelled in his head as he pulled out the watch to scan its heart. "Ok, ok...this is Crystal, the Hungry Guard Pup. This creepy canine will sink its pointy chompers into whatever it deems edible. She's also four years old."  

Brad felt like collapsing. He desperately wanted to run away, but knew that he couldn't because he had to find his other friends. Deciding to test fate, he started vacuuming the air very loudly to see if Crystal would wake up, and lo and behold, she awoken from her slumber, releasing a few barks. Upon spotting Brad, Crystal viciously growled and charged right at him. 

"YIKES!!!" 

So she began chasing him around the Boneyard as Brad tried to find her weakness, but couldn't do so. As they both ran around and around, a pile of literal BONES came out of the ground. 

"Fer the luvva dirt, make that yappy pup be quiet!!!" The pile of bones rasped out in irritation, floating about. 

Brad yelped at the sight, but then got an idea. He shined his flashlight at the pile of bones, which was Mr. Bones! He then started vacuuming it up quickly. Once that was done, a transparent bone fell down to the ground. 

Crystal noticed this and ran over to the bone, licking it happily and leaving her vulnerable. Brad took this chance and stunned it in place, revealing her heart. Instantly, he began to vacuum her up. The wolf pup growled, whimpered and barked as it tried to escape, but it was no match for Brad's Spirit Sucker 5000 as it inevitably got sucked in! 

"Done and done!" Brad happily said as he picked up each pearl that dropped onto the floor from Crystal. "Now what?" 

Brad eyed the doghouse and noticed something shining inside, but he was too big to fit inside. Curious, he scanned it with his watch, hoping to get some information. 

However, something else happened. Brad got pulled  into the doghouse and was spat out in the Graveyard! Looking around, fear rose up in his body as he began to shake. 

"I got a bad feeling about this, folks..." Brad gulped, nervous as ever before.

Boy, would his nervousness be justified soon enough.
