quote:
You bite your lip. “All right,” you say. “I’ll trust you.”
Pulling out the remote, you hand it to Deep Voice. You hope you did the right thing.
Deep Voice whips out a walkie-talkie. “We’re secure!” he barks into it.
The next instant, banks of headlights flash on, blinding you. Dozens of men in suits pour out of parked cars.
“What’s going on?” Stacey cries.
“Who are you guys?” Jason demands.
“I’m Agent Jones. We’re with the government,” Deep Voice replies. “Professor Shock is our top weapons designer.” He waves the remote in the air. “You kids have been playing with a very dangerous toy here! All I can say is, thank goodness we got it back before you pushed the red button.”
Your heart thuds. “Uh, well, actually...” you mumble.
Agent Jones stares at you in horror. “You mean you did press the red button? Oh, no! When?”
“About an hour ago.” You gulp. “Wh-what does it do?”
Agent Jones shakes his head solemnly. “You don’t want to know. Let’s just say, we’re all doomed. We have only a few seconds left before
THE END."
I'm sure Agent Jones will be making other appearances in this path, and he definitely isn't a throwaway character who only exists in this ending because Stine realized his entire plot would be derailed if we gave away the remote here.

quote:
You press a button with your right thumb. Nothing happens.
For a moment, that is.
Then a dim, blue glow fills the elevator. As it touches you, you start to tingle all over.
“What’s going on?” Stacey cries. “This feels so weird!”
“I don’t know,” you admit nervously.
The blue light suddenly winks out. The next thing you know, the elevator leaps into motion.
Sideways.
The sudden movement knocks you off your feet. The remote flies out of your hand.
“Whoa!” you yell. The elevator is traveling so fast that you’re plastered against the wall. You can’t move!
“Where are we going?” Stacey cries.
“Make it stop!” Jason screams. “Use the remote!”
“I can’t. I dropped it!” you shout.
Then, as suddenly as the elevator started, it stops.
The doors slide open. Light pours in.
quote:
Slowly, nervously, you and the twins step out of the elevator. The doors swish closed behind you.
You’re in a huge room. Steps lead down to a polished white floor. Staring around in wonder, you walk down them.
Giant red numbers are painted all over the floor, which slopes gently downward. Thick blue and yellow pillars sprout up everywhere. Here and there you see what look like archery targets, outlined in neon light. Odd, wedge-shaped swinging gates are also scattered around the room.
“Where are we?” Jason whispers.
“It looks like a fun house!” Stacey exclaims.
You glance up. Hey! The ceiling is made of glass! Through it, you can glimpse an even bigger room – so vast you can’t take it all in.
Then, you spot something else. Something unbelievable. Something so terrifying you can’t hold back a scream.
quote:
“AAAAAAGHHH!” you scream.
A mountain-sized man is peering through the ceiling at you!
He has a long, white beard. Every hair of it is like a thick rope. The wrinkles on his face are so deep that you could get lost forever if you fell into one of them. Thick, black-framed glasses make his tremendous eyes look even more huge.
Wait a second! You recognize this giant! It’s...
“Professor Shock!” Stacey shrieks.
“Ooohh...” Jason murmurs. And faints.
Your heart races. What’s going on? Where are you? And how on earth did Professor Shock get to be so big?
The professor strokes his beard with his enormous hand. Then he reaches down. His hand disappears somewhere to the right of the glass-ceilinged room.
CLING! GA-ZURK! SPROINGGGGG!
You feel a chill. There’s something horribly familiar about those clanging noises...
quote:
GUGUGUGUGUGUG! The floor suddenly starts to shake. A giant, silver ball shoots from a tube on your right. It slams into the back wall, bounces off, and hurtles down the sloping floor. Right toward you!
“Look out!” Stacey yells.
“Yipe!” you squeak, and dive to the side.
Just in time. The enormous silver ball rumbles past you and smashes into one of the targets.
DING-DING-DING! Bells ring. The target flashes.
That’s when it all falls into place. You know where you are. And you realize it’s not Professor Shock who changed size.
It’s you!
Maybe it was the remote. Maybe it was the blue light in the elevator. But something has made you shrink to the size of a marble. And something has dumped you where you are now –
Inside Professor Shock’s pinball machine!
You gaze around frantically for the silver ball. To your relief, it appears to be losing speed.
Then the entire floor heaves up to the left. You lose your balance and tumble to the floor. The silver ball zooms at you.
No fair! Professor Shock is tilting!
And you’re
FINISHED!
Insert awful joke about the right button being the wrong button here.

quote:
The twins are arguing loudly. It’s giving you a headache! All you want to do is go home.
“I’m going to try the mirror,” you call over their voices. Briskly, you thrust your foot through the glass.
CRACK! CRASH! SMASH! TINKLE! The mirror shatters.
Whoops! Well, at least you stopped the twins’ squabbling.
“Nice move!” Stacey laughs.
“It’s bad luck to break a mirror,” Jason adds.
Tiny bits of glass rain all around you. They land on your clothes... your hair... You try to brush them away.
But they seem to be stuck. All over you.
“Help!” Jason cries. “I’m covered with glass!”
Pieces of mirror swirl around the three of you. The ones that land on the floor jump up and come together.
“Hey!” Stacey shrieks, pointing. “Two pieces of glass just turned into one!”
In shock, you realize that the bits of mirror are joining themselves around you and the twins. Trapping you inside!
Then you notice something else. Something worse.
quote:
As the last bits of mirrors seal themselves around you, three kids appear in the tent. Right where you were a moment ago. The three new kids gaze into the mirror.
One looks just like Stacey. Another is identical to Jason.
And the third looks exactly like you!
The one that looks like you raises its arm. Your own arm rises at the same moment. You can’t seem to stop it.
The kid that looks like Stacey jumps up and down. Beside you, the real Stacey jumps too. The kid that looks like Jason claps his hands. You hear Jason clapping at the same time.
Oh, no...
“Thanks!” the kid that looks like you shouts. You feel your own mouth form the word Thanks.
“We hated being in the mirror,” the one that looks like Stacey says. “Now it’s your turn for a while!”
“Like... for the rest of your lives!” the Jason-clone adds with a nasty laugh.
You’ve traded places with your own reflections! Jason was right, you think. It is bad luck to break a mirror.
Oh, well. That’s the breaks.
THE END
Between this and that time they led us on an infinitely-looping chase, I'm starting to think our reflections are dicks.

quote:
Thinking fast, you reach into your pocket.
“Smart choice, kid,” Deep Voice tells you.
“I know,” you answer – and hurl a handful of crunched-up cookie crumbs at his face.
Remember? You took the cookies with you when you left your house. In Scout camp, they taught you that it’s always a good idea to carry a snack.
Good thing you were paying attention that day!
“Aaaagh! I can’t see!” Deep Voice bellows. He stumbles backward, rubbing his eyes.
“Run!” you shout to Jason and Stacey.
The three of you pelt through the garage. Enough light shines from the elevator to show you a staircase ahead.
You don’t hesitate. You take off up the stairs.
quote:
You and the twins race up to the third level of the mall. You glance over your shoulder. Whew! No sign of Deep Voice.
You push through the fire door at the top and stop to rest.
“Who was that guy?” Stacey pants.
“Somebody bad,” Jason retorts.
You stare down at the remote in your hand. Whoever Deep Voice was, he was desperate to get the gadget from you. Why? you wonder. All it does is turn things on and off.
Or is there something else you haven’t found out?
The twins lead you through the empty, echoing mall to a small store labeled JACK’S ELECTRONICS – REPAIRS AND SALES. It’s the only store you’ve seen so far that isn’t boarded up.
“This is Uncle Jack’s store,” Stacey announces.
You walk in. The store is filled with televisions, VCRs, radios, telephones, amplifiers, and dozens of other machines. But there’s no one behind the counter. The silence is eerie.
“Uncle Jack!” Jason calls. He ducks under the counter and vanishes into the back room.
A moment later you hear a yell.
quote:
That yell sounded like Jason! You and Stacey dash after him into the back room.
He’s struggling in the grip of a tall, red-haired man with a beard. You stare. This guy is almost as big as Deep Voice!
“Leave my brother alone!” Stacey yells.
“What have you done with Uncle Jack?” Jason cries at the same time.
The red-haired man lets Jason go. “Sorry, kid,” he says. “I thought you were trying to steal something. Jack’s your uncle, huh? My name’s Red. I – uh – bought this shop from him.”
Jason scowls. “Why didn’t Uncle Jack tell us about you?”
Red shrugs. “Maybe he forgot.”
You’re in a hurry to leave this creepy mall before Deep Voice catches up to you. “Come on,” you say to your friends.
“Wait!” Red cries. “I didn’t mean to upset you kids. Tell you what. Let me see your remote. I’ll fix it for free.”
You stare at him. You never mentioned the remote to him! How does he know you have it?
Oh, no! Is he after Professor Shock’s gadget too?
quote:
You think you’d better not take any chances.
“Run! Again!” you scream at Stacey and Jason.
The three of you tear out of the back room. Red pounds after you. “Not so fast,” he yells. “I want that remote!”
He is after the remote! Is he working with Deep Voice? you wonder. But there’s no time to think about it now.
You race to the front of the shop and grab the doorknob.
ZAP! A fat blue spark leaps out from the metal.
“Ow!” you yell. The doorknob is electrified!
You face Red. “Let us out!” you demand.
“First give me the remote,” he replies.
“Why?” you cry. “What will you do with it?”
“And what did you do with Uncle Jack?” Jason adds.
“Enough questions,” Red snarls. He paces slowly toward you.
You gulp. He’s huge. He’s mean. He looks strong.
“There’s a back way out,” Jason whispers in your ear.
“Use the remote,” Stacey suggests softly in your other ear.
It’s up to you! But choose quickly.
If you try to escape out the back, turn to PAGE 71.
If you try to use the remote somehow, go to PAGE 134.

The red button can turn out to do any of three different things depending on which path we take.
Blinded by cookie crumbs? 
If that sounds stupid, don't worry. An upcoming plot development is going to make it even stupider.
quote:
Maybe you can turn on all the appliances in the store and distract Red! You pull the remote out of your pocket.
Bad move.
“I’ll take that!” Red says.
Moving unbelievably quickly, he lunges at you. The remote flies out of your hand and skids under the counter.
You and the twins leap toward the counter.
Red is faster.
He dives under the counter. A moment later he bobs to his feet. The remote is clutched in his hand.
“Thanks, kids! And good-bye,” Red calls.
Laughing nastily, he points the remote at the floor beneath your feet.
A trap door opens up.
You and the twins hurtle into the darkness below.
quote:
Screaming, you and the twins plunge downward.
THUMP! You land on something soft. You sit up and feel your arms and legs. Nothing broken. That’s a relief!
Faint light streams in from a window high above your head. You see that you’ve landed on a big couch. All around you are other couches, and chairs, and beds. All are covered with dust.
“Oh,” someone groans. It’s Stacey! She landed in one of the armchairs. “My ankle hurts,” she complains, rubbing it.
Across from you, Jason sits up in the middle of a king-sized bed. “Where are we?” he asks in a dazed voice.
“I think we’re in the storage basement for one of the mall furniture stores,” you say slowly.
You scramble to your feet and make your way to the door at one end of the basement. Locked. Of course. You pound on it. “Help!” you call. “Let us out of here!” But no one answers.
The window is too high to reach. Hmm. Looks as if you’ll have to wait until someone comes down here.
Someone will find us soon, you think. They have to move the furniture before they tear down the mall. You’ll be all right.
Then you hear a hideous moan.
quote:
“D-did you hear that?” Jason asks, his voice shaking.
The moan swells again. Louder.
“There’s someone else here!” Stacey cries.
Who? Where? You glance around the shadowy basement.
“It came from over there,” Stacey whispers, pointing toward the corner nearest the door. “Come on – we have to investigate!”
You and the twins cautiously approach the corner.
Then you spot two legs. Sticking out from under a bed.
You and the twins stare at one another. Who’s under there? Nervously, you bend down and tug on the legs.
A man slides out from under the bed. His hands are bound behind him. A gag is tied tightly over his mouth.
Stacey gasps.
“Uncle Jack!” she cries.
quote:
Quickly, the twins rip the gag off Uncle Jack’s mouth.
“Stacey! Jason!” he cries. “How did you get here?”
“It’s a long story,” Stacey replies. As she and Jason untie him, she tells Uncle Jack about finding Red in his store.
“He told us he bought the store,” Jason adds.
“He’s lying,” Uncle Jack declares. “He came into the store last night, asking questions about my friend, Professor Shock. But I knew better than to trust him. When I tried to call the police, he tied me up and locked me in here. I’ve got to get out! I have to stop him before he gets his hands on Shock’s new invention, the Universal Remote!”
You wish he hadn’t said that. “He – well, he might already have it,” you admit. You explain about the remote you took from the professor’s workshop and how Red grabbed it from you. “I didn’t know it was an important invention,” you finish lamely.
“Oh, no!” Uncle Jack cries. “This is a disaster!”
“What’s the big deal?” Jason asks. “It does neat tricks. But it’s still only a remote control.”
“It’s much more than that!” Uncle Jack declares. “In the wrong hands, it’s a deadly weapon. And Red’s hands are the wrong hands, believe me. You see, Red is a cyborg!”
quote:
You stare at Uncle Jack. Maybe being tied up has made him a little funny in the head! “Red is a cyborg?” you repeat.
Yeah, right!
But Uncle Jack nods solemnly. “He’s half human, half machine. Professor Shock invented the technology to make cyborgs years ago. I helped. I built Red’s circuits. And now he’s the leader of a band of rebel cyborgs!”
Uncle Jack is starting to scare you. He sounds completely serious. Could he be telling the truth?
Stacey and Jason appear to be convinced. And they know Uncle Jack better than you do.
“Wh-what do the cyborgs want?” Stacey stammers.
“Power,” Uncle Jack replies. “Cyborgs are bigger, stronger, and faster than natural humans. They think that makes them better. Red told me about their plan.”
He stares at each of you in turn. Leaning forward, he whispers, “They want to make us their slaves!”
quote:
Your heart is beating double time. You’re convinced. If Uncle Jack says a bunch of cyborgs want to make you their slave, you believe him!
Jason is pale. But his scientific mind is at work. “Where does the Universal Remote fit in?” he asks.
“Professor Shock was afraid the cyborgs might turn against us. So he built the Universal Remote to control them,” Uncle Jack explains. “Now that they have it, we have no control. But it’s worse than that.”
Worse? You shudder. What could be worse than a bunch of eight-foot, super-strongman-machines running wild?
“You see, the remote can control all machines,” Uncle Jack goes on. “The cyborgs can use it to turn appliances against us. Imagine being attacked by your own TV!”
“Oh, no!” you exclaim. You remember Jason’s model plane dive-bombing you. “We have to get the remote back!”
“Right,” Uncle Jack agrees. “But first we must break out of this basement.”
You gaze around. You could try to reach the window. Which looks awfully small and high up. Or you could try to break down the door. Which looks awfully thick.
Try to wriggle through the window on PAGE 75.
Try to break down the door on PAGE 6.

quote:
“We’ve got to find a way to go through the window,” you say.
“We could pile some of the furniture up and use it like a ladder,” Jason points out.
He’s really pretty smart.
Uncle Jack helps you and the twins shove a table underneath the window. You stack an armchair on top of it. Then you balance a stool on top of that. The pile looks very shaky. But it reaches almost to the bottom of the window.
“I’m too big to fit through the window,” Uncle Jack tells you. “You kids will have to go through and then come back and unlock the door for me.”
You climb up onto the table. Then the chair. Then the stool. The whole pile wobbles. You feel like a circus acrobat.
Very carefully, you slide the small window up. Luckily for you, it isn’t painted shut. Grasping the windowsill, you pull yourself through. Into a row of garbage cans at the back of the employee parking lot.
It stinks. Yuck.
But you made it!
Then a cold hand grips your shoulder. “Where do you think you’re going?” a voice demands.
quote:
You glance up fearfully.
The person clutching your shoulder is Professor Shock! “I’ve been looking for you,” he says.
Stacey crawls through the window. Jason is right behind her. “Professor!” Stacey exclaims. “What are you doing here?”
“Were you following us?” Jason demands suspiciously.
“Of course I was!” Professor Shock snaps. “I had to get my remote back! Luckily, you kids pushed the red button. That’s a homing device. Still, my robot and I have been chasing you all afternoon.” He scowls at you. “My robot tells me you threw crumbs in his eyes.”
You remember the cookie crumbs you threw at Deep Voice.
That was Professor Shock’s robot?
You start to blush. “I’m sorry I caused all this trouble,” you mumble.
“Well, there’s no serious harm done – yet,” Professor Shock replies. “Just give it back.”
“I can’t,” you admit. “The cyborgs took it.”
“Oh, no!” Professor Shock exclaims. “That’s the worst thing that could possibly happen!”
Then his gaze focuses over your shoulder. He gasps.
“I take that back,” he murmurs. “This is worse.”
quote:
You spin around, following Professor Shock’s gaze.
The employee parking lot is full of wrecking equipment. Bulldozers. Steamrollers. Cranes. Wrecking balls.
Standing in the middle of all these machines is a familiar, eight-foot-tall figure. Red. His fingers fly over the remote.
CLANK! CLANK! The wrecking machines roar into sudden life. Two huge steamrollers position themselves side by side.
“Feet,” Professor Shock mutters.
You, Stacey, and Jason exchange worried glances. Feet?
A big crane lifts up two bulldozers and sets them on top of the steamrollers. The bulldozers’ shovels wave in the air.
“Hands,” Professor Shock says, nodding.
TINKLE-LINKLE-LINK! Glass shatters overhead. Glancing up, you spot two big-screen TVs sailing through the air.
“Eyes,” Professor Shock says grimly.
“Eyes?” you echo. You’re almost afraid to ask. “Feet? Hands? What are you talking about, Professor?”
Professor Shock points at the pile of machinery. “Can’t you see?” he asks. “Red is using my remote to build a monster robot!”
quote:
In the center of the parking lot, the monster robot’s TV-screen eyes blink on.
It’s ready. Ready to crush you!
“What happens now?” Stacey gasps.
“Professor Shock, tell us what to do!” you cry.
“Help us!” Jason begs, grabbing the old man’s arm.
“Stop that!” Professor Shock snaps. “I’m trying to think.” Closing his eyes, he begins to mumble to himself.
And then he starts to snore.
You can’t believe it! You feel like screaming. What a time for the professor to take a nap!
Jason tugs your sleeve. “The professor’s too old for this. Let’s go get Uncle Jack,” he whispers. “He’ll know what to do.”
You hesitate. You have to admit, it’s a bad sign that Professor Shock fell asleep. But still, you believe he’s a genius. Maybe this is the way he gets all his ideas.
Maybe you should wait for him to wake up.
If you want to wait for Professor Shock to wake up, turn to PAGE 84.
If you'd rather get Uncle Jack, do it on PAGE 10.
Final boss time! Who's ready to be inevitably disappointed?
On an unrelated note, it sure is convenient we were being stalked by the only robot in the world with sensitive eyes, or that trick with the crumbs never would have worked!
