Back at Mudsy's group, they were following Team Quest as they search for Jade.
"So where exactly are we going Doctor?" Dee-Dee asked Dr. Quest.
"To the Mid-East" Dr. Quest explained "That's where Jonny and Hadji claim they last saw Jade."
"That's right pop" Jonny said "Tom and Jerry helped us get there."
Tom and Jerry both nodded their heads saying "Yes".
"If I still had my powers, I could tell you guys what these two were thinking" Hadji sighed.
"Well, speaking of getting there, we'd better be on the lookout." Race said. "Because chances are, Zin may have someone out on the lookout for us."
"Him got good point" Cavey said "No worry, me have way of getting there faster!"
Cavey reached into his fur and took out a pterodactyl, big enough to carry them all.
Meanwhile, on the island in a foggy area hundreds of miles off the coast of Coolsville, it was dinner time, and the five prisoners were marched to the cafeteria for their supper.
"All right" The head guard said as the food was being served. "You kids got half an hour to eat up, then its lights out!"
The gang looked at the food. It doesn't look quite good, and even Shaggy and Scooby looked disgusted by the food.
"Like, there's no way we're going to eat this stuff, man!" Shaggy protested. "I'm sure you've got something better than this!"
"No way" Scooby shook his head.
"Listen handsome!" Jenny snarled "Either you eat this or starve to death! You two are gonna eat this slop like the disgusting pigs you are!"
"Like, you know something?" Shaggy snarled. "Scoob and I may be known for being pigs, but we're not eating it!"
"Reah, no way" Scooby agreed as he and Shaggy crossed their arms. "Ri'll rather starve!"
"Fine" Jenny replied. "Suit yourselves. In that case, get back to your cells for lights out!"
Later that night, after lights out, Shaggy and Scooby were still awakening in their cells.
"Scoob" Shaggy whispered "I can't stay here another second! We've only been here for like a few hours, and I'm going mad."
"Re too Raggy" said Scooby.
"We've like gotta spring outta here" Shaggy said "We need to find Fred, Velma and Daphne and get outta here!"
"Reah, and ri think ri know how." Scooby says as he gestured towards the security camera in their cell.
Meanwhile, in his quarters, Dr. Zin was relaxing in his armchair as he oversees several agents watching the security footage.
"Boss, it seems like everyone's gone to sleep." One of the agents reported.
"Excellent." Dr. Zin grinned and nodded. "Those kids failed to realize how powerful I really am!"
"They sure did, boss, but I've got one question." A second agent said.
"What is it?" Zin asked.
"The security camera in the cell occupied by those two walking appetites is not functioning." The agent explained. "Do you think we should get those two transferred to a cell with higher security?"
"I don't think that may be necessary." Zin replied. "Those two are helpless without the Sword of Fate and support from their friends, and since they can't survive without food and have refused to eat our food, they will naturally starve to death and wouldn't require out supervision."
"Sure, if you say so, boss." The agent nodded as he resumed his duty.
"Right" Zin nodded. "In the meantime, you men got half an hour before your shifts are over."
Back in the cell, Shaggy and Scooby took a closer look at the security camera.
"Like, that camera's not functioning, Scoob!" Shaggy said. "That may be our ticket out!"
"Reah." Scooby nodded. Seeing the loose water pipe connected to the drain of the sink, the lens on the security camera, a shattered mirror, some sticky oil that has leaked through the cracks in the cell wall from the machinery room next door and the air vent above with an opening, the duo had an idea.
Moments later, the duo was crawling through the air vent with Shaggy holding their make-shift periscope.
"Like, you're sure a genius, Scoob!" Shaggy whispered to Scooby.
"Reah!" Scooby replied. "Reah-he-he-he-he!"
After some crawling, the duo reached an opening.
Using the periscope, Shaggy looked through the opening. They were above Daphne's cell. Daphne was still feeling remorseful about losing Flim-Flam and silently sobbing when she heard a knock on the air vent.
"Huh?" she looked up "Shaggy? Scooby?"
"Raphne, get in" said Scooby.
"Yeah" Shaggy whispered "We've gotta find Fred and Velma and get outta here before the guards catch us."
"Yeah, rut first, ret me take care of a little problem." Scooby said as he took out a long straw loaded with the sticky oil.
With the straw attached to the periscope, Shaggy made sure that the straw and lens were aimed towards the security camera.
"Now, Scoob" Shaggy whispered.
Scooby then blew through the straw, leading to the sticky oil to be fired towards the camera and with a splat; the lens of the camera was covered in sticky oil.
"Way to go, Scooby!" Shaggy silently pumped his fist in victory.
The duo then helped Daphne up, and before long, the trio were crawling through the air vent, in search for Fred and Velma's respective cells.
Meanwhile, over in Heaven, Shelly, Brenda and Mudsy's family were enjoying their time together.
"Boy" Brenda said "It sure is peaceful living in the clouds."
"It sure is" Amelia said "I wish Jonathan was here, though. He'd make this picture complete."
"Well, how is it that he isn't here even though he's a ghost?" Shelly asked.
"The rules of the afterlife say that ghosts and Angels don't mix" Amelia sadly said "So he can't be with us."
"I see." Shelly nodded. "He must be lonely without you and the girls."
"I'll bet he is" Sarah said "If only he was angel."
"Yeah" Jeanette added "That way, we could all be together forever."
"Say Shelly" Brenda said "We still haven't found your mother."
"That's right" Shelly said "We haven't."
"Maybe we can help you" Amelia said "What's your mother's name, Shelly?"
"Her name is Marylyn" Shelly told her.
"Marylyn?" Amelia asked "She's a good friend of mine!"
"Oh boy" Shelly remarked. "What a coincidence!"
"Can you take us to her?" Brenda asked Amelia.
"Of course I can" Amelia said "But we're all going to have to go together."
"Yeah" Maggie remarked "It's easy to get lost in the clouds."
Looking around, Brenda nodded. "You certainly can."
"I'd do anything to see my mother again" Shelly said.
"Come on girls" Amelia told the girls.
"Yes mother" said Sarah, Maggie and Jeanette, as they flew beside her.
"Oh boy" Shelly said in her thoughts "I'm gonna be with mama again!"
The girls then followed Mudsy's family, to where Shelly's mother might be.
