Attack of The Headless Horror

Attack of The Headless Horror

May 16, 2011

Hi, guys.

So, In the Amazon, Dr. Rick Spartan, his wife, Marion, and manservant, Chachinga, find the ancient burial heap of Sklar Gringat. Marion breaks her ankle, so Rick sends Chachinga back to camp for the medicine kit. Rick climbs the temple alone and rolls the cover stone off, nearly crushing Marion. He descends and reads the inscription on the chest on the altar: Take not my head or a curse on you. My body shall forever avenge the wrong you do. He opens the chest and lifts out a shrunken head, which tells him he was warned. A headless creature, with a face on its chest, stands there and he screams.

Fred is driving recklessly through traffic because he doesn't want to be late for school. Their new biology teacher is Dr. Rick Spartan, a legend at getting out of traps. Velma and Shaggy decide to maybe be friends again, maybe.

In school, Dr. Spartan recounts his battle with the headless horror to the class. He then dismisses them with 45 minutes left. Fred asks him if he still has the shrunken head and Spartan invites them over for dinner that night.

Dr. Spartan is teaching at the high school so that Marion can have a break from life in the jungle. Charles Wheatlesby and Spartan were students at Oxford; after graduation Spartan hired him as his assistant and started calling him Chachinga so that he can pretend he's a wild savage. Chachinga kept the spear but didn't wear the whole outfit, a brief argument ensues and Chachinga goes to his yurt. Marion points out to Rick he should be nicer as he saved Rick's life many times. Soon Spartan shows the gang the shrunken head, which is hanging on the wall in his study. As Fred touches it, the Horror crashes through a wall. Spartan attacks it, but it seizes him. Fred grabs a spear and attacks and tells Shaggy and Scooby to do the same. With Spartan's help they drive it off, but it promises to be with him forever. As Marion treats Rick's injuries, Chachinga enters, saying he heard a frightful commotion. Spartan has no idea how to break the curse, but Velma says she knows someone who might.

In the Broken Spine Haunted Gift Shop & Coffee Bar, Angie Dinkley finds an incantation to break the curse. It must be said in the jungle, which the Crystal Cove Botanical Gardens has in its mini rainforest, by a talking jackal, which Scooby can stand in for.

That night in the Botanical Gardens, Dr. Spartan and the gang are joined by Angie. At midnight Scooby digs a hole, recites the incantation, places the shrunken head inside and buries it. The Headless Horror climbs out of the earth, attacks Spartan and leaves, saying he will never be rid of it.

In the hospital, the doctor says Dr. Spartan just needs rest and quite a few operations. Chachinga arrives and Spartan tells him he's quitting; Marion is delighted. Fred asks for one more chance to figure out how to stop the Horror.

The gang return to the Botanical Gardens and discover a huge contact lens containing a miniature video camera, and an Oxford ring.

In the hospital, Sheriff Stone arrests Chachinga for being the headless thing that's been whomping on Dr. Spartan. When Spartan hears the news, he realizes the curse is fake, so he can go back to the jungle and live a life of adventure again. At this, the Headless Horror breaks through the ceiling. The gang push Spartan's bed down the hospital corridors, chased by the Horror. As they leave the front door, Fred springs his trap.

The police return with Chachinga and Marion is revealed to be the creature. Two things that gave her away was the ring they found at the Botanical Garden, it was women-sized and they realized if Dr. Spartan found out the curse was fake, he would want to go back to the jungle (which she hated). She admits this and explains that she forged the map, pointing to an old, abandoned movie set, faked her injury and sneaked around the back to put on the costume and the shrunken head was from a halloween store and she recorded it to say those words. Dr. Spartan says he doesn't want to press any charges and invites everyone to pizza and a movie in the hospital room. Velma tells Shaggy she just wants to be friends. While saddened at first, Shaggy eventually doesn't mind.

But we don't stop there, because due to possessing Utopia, Flip is possessed by the Number and Astral is weakened. Yuma manages to summon out Leviathan Dragon, but Flip takes control of it as well, putting Astral in a cocoon-like state. Meanwhile, Tori and Bronk investigate the cause of the forged photographs, learning that Flip was the one behind them. As Flip explains his bullied childhood led him to play dirty, Astral tells Yuma to protect Baby Tiragon at all costs. Yuma says that all the respect Flip earned was all fake, and he should have listened to Bronk and Tori. After being pushed into a corner, Yuma manages to use Baby Tiragon's effect with one of his other monsters to send Flip's traps back to his hand, allowing him to regain control of his Numbers, restore Astral and win the duel. Afterwards, Yuma tries to return Baby Tiragon to Flip; however, Flip decides to let him keep it as proof of their new-found friendship. Also, Yuma said that Flip's glasses were "hip," causing him to burst into tears of joy, saying that it was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to him.

But we're not done yet, as Mordecai and Rigby are bummed because they do not have tickets to a sold-out wrestling championship event so they begin to fake wrestle. Pops enters then begins to wrestle Mordecai, but for real and was hurting him until he was stopped by Rigby; then, Pops reveals that he used to wrestle when he was at a younger age and proceeds to produce two extra tickets to the championship match. He invites Mordecai and Rigby to go, and they decide to celebrate by battling Pops; however, during the scuffle, Rigby hurts Pops so Benson decides that they can`t go to the match and orders Mordecai and Rigby to watch Pops for the night instead.

Then while asleep, Rigby wakes up and shakes Mordecai awake and tells him to sneak out, but he's worried about Pops; yet Rigby said that he will be fine and they decide to sneak out from the house; surprisingly when they get there, they are shocked to find that that Pops had also snuck out as he was mistaken for a new wrestler named "Huge Head". Then, one of the three wrestlers named Forearmageddon heard Mordecai's feelings about wrestling so he forced Mordecai and Rigby to wrestle all of them in a ladder match and Pops wanted to help but Mordecai refuses because he is still injured.

When they got inside the ring, they tried to fight them but they were too strong and was hurting them; then Pops (who was still injured) seeing them getting hurt, he decide to come into the ring to help them by climbing up the ladder and almost getting the golden championship belt, but Forearmageddon knocked him over, causing both to fall. However, Pops stands up and his back was better and he began to wrestle all of them and climb up the ladder and won the golden championship belt.

When they got back home, Mordecai opens the door and sees an angry Benson saying that he had a sick feeling that they sneak out instead of watching Pops so he went over to check on them and said that Mordecai and Rigby are fired. Luckily, Pops told Benson the truth. He said that he snuck out to the wrestling match on his own and Mordecai and Rigby were looking for him. Mordecai pointed out that most of it was technically true and Rigby pointed out that Pops' back is all better. Benson rehired Mordecai and Rigby, saying this is their last warning. Mordecai thanks Pops for taking the blame and Pops said that he is glad that it is over. But in the bushes, the real Huge-Head (who had tire marks on him) appears and believes Pops has stolen his name. So he decides to get revenge by stealing Pops' name.

But, it's not over yet, because with only twenty-four hours left before school, Gumball and Darwin try to think of things to do. Unfortunately, every game they come up with is turned down because they have played them too often. They decide to play their own made up game, Dodj or Daar, but get bored of it just as they start playing. They begin to wonder what caused these games to loose their intrigue when suddenly Gumball realizes that maybe it is not the games that are boring, but that instead they are bored of each other. They freak out for a moment, and began thinking of a solution. Gumball notices two ants struggling to lift up a cookie, but another one soon joins in and together, they lift up the cookie. The three happy ants then take Darwin's cookie and run off. From the ants, Gumball hatches an idea and decides they need a third best friend.

At school, the two search for a new friend. Darwin points out Tina as she walks by. Tina crushes Idaho, Ocho and Anton, causing Gumball and Darwin to shakily reject her. Darwin then points out William, who flies by to inspect a garbage can. William does a creepy blink, causing the two to shudder and reject him for being creepy. At this point they hear Banana Joe laughing at himself. They greet him, considering making him their third friend. At first they are amused by his tricks, but then he gets less amusing and more annoying in every passing joke. They decide to shy away after his fourth gag.

At lunch time, Leslie somehow finds out that Gumball and Darwin are looking for a third friend. He eagerly takes the job, but creeps the two of them out. They end up at the boys' restroom, hiding from Leslie. Darwin points out that a friend should be athletic, rich, colorful, and a good listener. Tobias was listening and was willing to be their friend for twenty dollars. Gumball screams "What?" in anger but Tobias gives Gumball some time to think. Gumball realizes that it is just ten dollars each. Gumball pays Tobias ten dollars, but Darwin does not have money, so Gumball pays for him. However, once Tobias is paid, Darwin and Tobias set off without Gumball.

At dinner, Darwin amuses the family with stories about his time with Tobias. At one point, Gumball throws his dinner at Darwin so he can speak. Unfortunately, the family just listens to Darwin instead.

In the school gym, the kids play a game requiring a best friend. Gumball sees this as a chance to hang out with Darwin, but to Gumball's dismay, Darwin is with Tobias. To add insult to injury, Darwin and Tobias decide to have a sleepover. In retaliation, Gumball plans a sleepover with Alan, without the latter's consent.

At Gumball's house, Gumball tries to play games with Alan. Alan cannot play them, as he has no hands. Alan soon asks what is really going on, which Gumball states that things are different without Darwin. Alan says that Gumball needs to go see Darwin, which eventually, he decides to do.

Gumball then has to find a way to get to Tobias' house, so he asks Rosie if he can borrow her tricycle. She charges him seventy dollars, to which he throws money at her and pedals off on the tricycle. Gumball, in his fury, goes through wet cement and it dries all over him and the tricycle, incapacitating him.

He imagines a moment where Darwin would forget about his old best friend. This makes him break through the concrete and keep going and heads for the bumpy region standing between him and Darwin. Gumball starts blaming the "stupid ants" and their "stupid cookie" that got him in the mess while he goes over many hills and valleys. Now at the apex of a very steep hill he speeds down it, but the speed causes him to catch on fire and blaze through town.

Now at Tobias' house, Gumball immediately asks Tobias for Darwin. Tobias says he believes Darwin is in the garden. Darwin is sobbing over Gumball, but fortunately for Darwin, Gumball is outside. The two make up and start playing Kebab Fighter. When Tobias asks to play, the two close friends answer no.

Gumball, Darwin, and Anais hanging out on the street in front of their house. Gumball is waiting for Mr. Robinson's senior talent show performance, which, as Anais points out, does not start for another ten hours and has explicitly banned him from attending. Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson pull into their parking spot. Darwin and Anais move out of the way, but Gumball is frozen by panic on the spot. Despite Darwin's telling him to just step aside, Gumball truly believes he is done for. Mr. Robinson simply stops, and Gumball, believing this to be an act of great kindness, jumps onto Mr. Robinson's windshield and starts thanking him, much to Mr. Robinson's annoyance. Mrs. Robinson eventually throws Gumball off by flinging up the hood, launching him into space, where he makes a deep promise to repay Mr. Robinson for supposedly "saving his life."

Gumball then decides to follow Mr. Robinson around in hopes of finding a way to save his life, much to Mr. Robinson's dismay, ultimately ending up at a convenience store. While Mr. Robinson reviews a brand of mouthwash, Gumball notices a wet floor sign. Thinking it is dangerous, he moves it out of the way, only to see Mr. Robinson slip over the puddle it was warning about. The fall knocks Mr. Robinson out, prompting Gumball to attempt CPR. Before he can try, though, Pantsbully performs it instead. Mr. Robinson awakes just in time to see his huge mouth make contact with his.

Annoyed and grossed out, he walks outside to a vending machine near the store. He buys and drinks a something hot, hoping it would soothe his vocal chords. He tests out a few notes, clearing his throat to try to get the right pitch, but Gumball interprets it as choking and runs in to perform the Heimlich maneuver. This causes Mr. Robinson to cough up his heart and collapse to the ground. He struggles over to where his heart landed, and scoops it back into his body using his tongue, berating Gumball and storming off immediately after.

Mr. Robinson arrives at a tanning salon and steps into a tanning bed to enhance his appearance. Gumball then arrives and mistakes the tanning bed for a casket, woefully mourning his death. He refuses to give up, though - he grabs a defibrillator and attempts to revive Mr. Robinson with a zap, but since Mr. Robinson is still alive, all it does is electrocute him. Regardless, Gumball continues zapping him for the sake of safety.

Mr. Robinson returns home to find Gumball waiting at his front door to greet him. Gumball informs him that he booby-trapped his front door. He demonstrates this by ringing the doorbell, causing Mr. Robinson to get slugged in the chest by a bowling ball. Mr. Robinson, frustrated with the day's events, starts crying and begging Gumball to leave him alone. This finally reaches Gumball, who realizes he failed and decides to give up, breaking his promise to the universe and starts sobbing.

Anais and Darwin witness Gumball's angst, and decide to help him out. They throw over a note informing him that Mr. Robinson will be assassinated at the talent show. Gumball, seeing this as an opportunity to redeem himself, tries to warn Mr. Robinson, but his warnings get ignored. Refusing to accept defeat, Gumball follows posthaste.

At the talent show, there are only two entries and three people in the crowd. Following a brief tap-dancing routine from the senior citizens, Mr. Robinson gleefully performs "I Wanna Be Free." Throughout his performance, Darwin and Anais start attempting to hurt him with various props and effects. Gumball, however, fails to notice. Finally, as Mr. Robinson sings his last note, it causes an overhead light to fall down. Gumball taking notice, pushes Mr. Robinson aside right as the light falls to the ground. Mr. Robinson, acknowledging the fact that Gumball just saved his life, looks thankful for a moment, but nevertheless scolds Gumball for cutting his performance short.

Despite the abrupt ending to his performance, the two audience members (Mrs. Robinson left, disgusted by her husband's success) start applauding like crazy. Mr. Robinson bows repeatedly, oblivious to the fact that the lift that was carrying Anais and Darwin was lowering and about to crush him. He eventually does get crushed, and Anais and Darwin blow it off and leave.
