Daphne & Velma Page #7

---

Our intellects are our weapons.

And dogs love me.

'Security overload.'

We did it.

This is supposed to be

one of the biggest companies

in the world

and there's no one here?

Something's up.

Mom!

Hm. I'm good.

She's acting like Spencer

and all the other kids.

- 'Unplug those wires.'

- Stop right there.

No offense, but I really wish

you would have died

in my elevator.

Tobias Bloom.

- It's you.

- In the flesh.

Uh, died?

It's just an elevator.

Filled with wolves.

I forgot to put in the wolves.

What is this thing?

Well, now that you're locked

in here

I don't see any problem

with giving you some details.

The brainstormer machine.

It sucks the creative energy

and personality out of people.

And why? Well, Bloom Innovative

must always stay

on the cutting edge

of technological advancements.

And unfortunately for me

ideas are hard to come by.

Luckily, kids seem

to have a lot of them.

Of course.

Olivia was a musical prodigy.

You used her brain energy

to make your sound buds.

And Spencer was always going on

about using his phone

to make food.

You used his brain power

to make your 3D food printer.

Both of you are so

creatively annoying.

Can't wait to see

what kind of ideas

the brainstormer

sucks out of you.

'Until then

good luck with my spiders.'

What do we do, V?

We don't have a plan.

We don't have time for a plan.

You take care of your mom.

I'm goin' in.

'Target locked.'

Daph, you okay over there?

'I can't, I

can't let go of myself.'

'Activate web.'

'Target lost.'

Jinkies.

'No!'

Mom.

'Honey, is that you?'

Dad, keep mom talking

and call the police.

'Well, Elizabeth, you'll

never believe what's happening...'

Honey.

Well.

It's over Bloom.

And also, I scuffed one of my

boots kicking your robots

so I need you

to get on top of that

'cause my allowance

is pretty low.

- Do it, V.

- Yeah.

- He's a..

- He's a ghost.

No, he's a hologram. Look.

Wait a second.

I knew he looked familiar.

This guy isn't a tech genius.

He's the most famous

male model in Japan.

I like that hair.

Wait, if Tobias Bloom's

a hologram, then..

What's controllin' him?

I'm not sayin' I won't fight

another army of robotic spiders.

I'm just sayin' I'm gonna need

a snack if I do it

'cause my blood sugar

is getting kind of low.

- Carol!

- Carol!

Help! Help!

You guys, you have to help me.

Oh, Bloom, he kidnapped me.

He attacked me

and he brought me here...

Wait, wait, wait,

how could Bloom kidnap you?

- He's a hologram.

- That's a great question.

A-all I know is-is I-I w-was

sucked here by this thing.

Well then,

why aren't you zombified?

Well, because I..

I..

Well, well, well.

You two make quite a good team.

A horrible, annoying,

terrible team.

You are behind all of this.

Why am I not surprised?

But why the hologram?

Why the false identity?

Who's gonna let a teenage girl

run a billion dollar company?

The first Azalea phone

was my idea.

But I knew no one would take me

seriously because of my age.

So you created Tobias Bloom

using an obscure model's image

and then you started

Bloom Innovative as a cover-up.

So you could keep

going to school and meet

the young new lines that would

think up your next inventions.

You lured them in.

You used their phones

that played hypnotic frequencies

that led them to the passages

behind the lockers.

Then you brought them here

where you stole

their greatest ideas.

But this has been happening

for years.

- How old are you?

- Rude.

She's not really a teenager.

You know, when I mentioned

Legitimate Tulip to her

she had no idea who they were.

And everyone loves that band.

They're okay, I guess.

That's kind of flimsy evidence.

No, she's right.

I'm 26.

Wow. You look great for 26.

It's not really that old,

but thank you.

- Ahem!

- What?

I'm not gonna lie

just because she's evil.

Okay, why did you do it and how?

How? I moisturize.

Keeps the skin young.

Okay, maybe the why

is more interesting.

She couldn't handle

the pressure..

...to keep coming up

with new products and ideas

year after year.

She craved the power

and the glory to stay on top.

Don't forget about the money

and the power.

I just said that.

I'm not really listening to you.

Whoa.

Well, Carol

I wish it didn't

have to end like this.

You know, it doesn't. You two

could just totally let me go.

I was just being polite.

It totally has to end like this.

I for sure dreamed

it would end like this.

I would have gotten away

with it, too

if it weren't for you

meddling kids.

No!

No!

Eww. The board was evil.

Yeah.

It's literally representative

how technology in a way

has enslaved our minds.

But it is also indicative

of the fact that

societal peer pressure forces us

to be something we're not.

- Yeah.

- Whoa.

I know.

But it was nice

to be number one for once.

Hey, dude, you're still

number one in our book.

Yeah, we're good friends.

- You guys mean that?

- Yeah, man.

- Oh, yeah.

- Put it here.

Br-r-r-r-r-aah!

- D and V, what's good?

- What's up?

- What's up?

- What's up?

Thank you guys so much

for helping us.

How did it happen?

Carol hacked

into your Bloom phones

and used hypnotic frequencies

to lure you

into the hallways

behind the lockers.

'And then she used

a brainstormer machine'

to sap all your creative ideas

for herself.

I definitely suspected something

was up with that Carol.

Too perfect of a record.

And I never liked that

pretty boy Tobias Bloom either.

"Oh, I'm handsome." Yuck.

Sure, you didn't, Aunt Piper.

Well, I'm just glad

that you're back

to your old self again.

- Me too.

- Me three.

- 'Computer chips.'

- Computer chips!

I appreciate the gesture

but gift card

would have been nice.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Wait up.

Oh, you.

I gotta deal with you.

Maybe I could find you

on Facebook.

Goodbye.

Again.

Oh! Oh!

That whole creepy elevator thing

and the..

I don't even know

how you got out of there.

- You're brave.

- With my bravery from my dad.

Stop it.

Yep.

- Yeah.

- Um, it's Velma.

- Go ahead.

- Alright.

I'll see you guys later.

- Be brave.

- 'I will.'

Like your pops.

I didn't want you to get too

excited before I looked into it.

But last night someone sent me

an encrypted file.

'Reckless. I love it, V.'

It looks like

someone's been keeping track

of tons of mysteries

around the world.

Huh, you think

they're all connected?

I don't know. Let me show you.

Someone noticed us.

- Uh, V, what is happening?

- 'No, I'm not doing this.'

- Well, do something.

- I am trying.

Don't touch my computer, Daphne.

Sorry.

Stay away or else..

- Could be a real monster.

- Monsters aren't real.

We'll see about that.
