Big Boogey Adventure

chapter 7

Soon enough, they all woke up. Billy then checked his pants and then frowned.

"Cindy, Mandy, and Mike got kidnapped by Boogey and Zora." Reggie said.

"We have to get them back." Tommy added.

"How are we gonna get dem back?" Grim asked. "Boogey's got everyt'ing! A better boat, a full crew, and da girls!"

"I miss my little monkey!" Penn cried.

"Grim, if we're gonna get your powers back, stop the Boogeyman, and save the world from tyranny, then we're gonna need all of us to do it!" Billy replied bravely. "We have to get the girls back--CAKE!" he then took out a big chocolate chunk and ate it, only to fall asleep again.

"Well, there's one thing that Boogey doesn't have," Irwin said before he ripped off his shirt to show he had muscles. "THE POWER OF LOVE!"

"Whoa." Kimi blinked.

"YEAH, AND I'M GOING TO DESTROY ZORA!" Lil added, she then threw her pink bow away and then tied a red band across her forehead and added black marking across her cheeks.

"What am I looking at?" Boogey asked as the crystal ball soon smoked out the images.

"It's the view from the gatekeeper's eye, Captain." Creeper reminded him.

"But I thought one of those idiots ate the eye?" Boogey replied.

"They did... You don't want to think about it too hard..." Creeper told him as Drell was paddling a rowboat nearby against his will as his mother was calling out to him through a megaphone.

"No matter," Boogey said before going over to Cindy and Mandy who were tied up. "Mandy, you admitted in court, under oath, that Grim was no good to you without his powers; with Horror's Hand, I can be twice more powerful than Grim ever was. If you were my friend and protect me like the way you protected Grim, we could rule the universe together. What do you say?"

Mandy narrowed her eyes with a low growl. "Just because I'll be friends with a loser bag of bones doesn't mean I'll be friends with a loser toad like you."

"Careful, little girl!" Boogey warned Mandy. "Or I could make the rest of your miserable little existences very scary, ain't that right, Zora and Creeper?"

"That's right, Uncle BJ." Zora replied as she hugged Mike who was in shackles.

Creeper cleaned his goggles as he didn't seem to be paying attention. "What was that? Oh, yes, you're scary, Captain, yes, very scary."

"Keep it up and the employee of the month is gonna be that guy." Boogey warned as he pointed to Fred.

Fred was sitting down and singing Frere Jacques as he appeared to be drinking rocket fuel.

"It is you who should be scared, Boogey." Mandy warned.

"Why is that?" Boogey glared.

"'Cuz when I get down from here, I'm gonna kick your slimy blue butt so hard, you'll have to sit on your eyes." Mandy replied.

"Oh, now that's scary," Creeper replied. "Maybe you could pick up a few pointers from--"

"Enough!" Boogey snapped. "You're not gonna kick any butt, little girl... If you think you are, then you are dreaming!"

"GAH!" Mandy sat up in her bed with wide eyes until she then had her usual hateful gaze on her face. "I just had the craziest dream..." she then got out of bed and went to the door and opened it only to find Saturn just like in the Beetlejuice movie when he banished Barbara Maitland away from her own house and giant earthworms were rising from the ground.
