I must have blacked out a while. When I woke up, I was in a cage with Scrappy-Doo. The others were in separate cages too. We were trapped by Strickland and the villains. They told us that a new era of toons was here and told Scrappy they weren't letting him in!
Suddenly, I heard something from the vent upstairs.
"Scooby-Doo!" Said the voice "Where are you?"
"Ruh?" I asked.
It sounded like Daphne. Suddenly something fell out of the vents. It was Daphne! And Fred, Velma and Shaggy were there with her!
"Raggy! Red! Relma! Raphne!" I cheered. I was so happy to see them.
"Scooby-Doo!" They cheered.
Scrappy then saw them. He was not happy to see them at all and the feeling was mutual.
"Okay, Scooby What's HE doing here?" Velma demanded.
The gang broke us out and we explained everything to them on the way.
"So we're here to fight a monster and a group of cartoon villains who want to take over this place?" Daphne asked.
"Yep!" I said.
"Hate to burst your bubble Scooby…" Freddy said "But this Shadow Blot is probably just some guy in a costume working for this Strickland guy."
"Ro Red. The Blot is a real monster." I assured him "Remember in some of our movies, we faced real monsters."
"And besides…" Velma added "We are in another dimension created by a wizard so he has to be real."
"Wait a minute, Velma. Aren't you supposed to believe monsters are fake?" said Shaggy
"Yeah but, this wizard is real and we're in another dimension." She explained "But I'm kinda skeptical that this monster is real. Plus, this Thinner Disaster could've just been a flood or tidal wave, but not a monster."
"Velma, It's fake. And I'll prove it. WITHOUT YOUR HELP!" said Fred.
"Sheesh." Yogi remarked "What a hothead"
"Tell me about it." Scrappy said back.
"Let's go!" said Dynomutt.
We finally got to the control room where Strickland, Dastardly, and Muttely were ready to activate their doomsday device, ready to destroy all of Boomerland.
"Stop right there! Strickland!" Scrappy yelled.
"Well, well, well if it isn't that meddling mutt, Scooby-Doo and his nephew, Scrimpy." Dastardly said.
"That's SCRAPPY!" Scrappy yelled.
"And looks who's with him" Strickland added "The rest of Mystery Inc. Five hearts for the price of one"
"Hearts?" Daphne asked.
"Forgotten characters like Me, Scrappy, TC, Snagglepuss, and Yogi lose their hearts when they're forgotten. It's a symbol of being loved and the power they posses from their hearts." Gazoo said.
"That's right!" Strickland exclaimed "And now that we have the doomsday machine we'll rule the kingdom and only me, Dastradly, Muttely, The Blot, and my robots will survive."
"You won't get away with this!" Scrappy told him.
"We'll see about that!" Dastardly said "Muttely!"
Muttely went over to the control panel and pressed a red button located on the control panel. Then, out of nowhere, a wall opened up. Smoke raised from it's panel and when the smoke cleared, in sight were monsters all lined up. We were very shocked! Our past was coming back to haunt us. There were monsters me and the gang unmasked on episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Scooby-Doo show back to get revenge on us!
First there was a hunchback zombie like man with light green skin and a dark green coat and pants. It was The Creeper of the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? episode, Jeepers! It's The Creeper! A very popular episode.
"Jeepers! It's the Creeper!" Daphne exclaimed, pointing at the hunchback ghoul
"The Creeper? Like I thought this was a place for forgotten characters!" Shaggy said "The Creeper is like the most popular and iconic villain in the entire Scooby Doo series."
Then there was a big, black monster made out of tar. It was the Tar Monster of the Scooby-Doo Show episode, The Tar Monster!
"The Tar Monster?" Freddy exclaimed pointing at the beast.
Then two more Scooby-Doo Where Are You villains appeared. First came A yellow glowing scuba diving suit. It was the Ghost of Captain Cutler from A Clue For Scooby-Doo. He was followed a old miner with a blue shirt, brown pants, black vest and grey beard. It was The Miner 49er, the Phantom Miner in Mine Your Own Businesses!
"Captain Cutler?" I barked.
"The Miner 49er" Shaggy screamed.
And finally a monster that looked like a jaguar appeared. It was Jaguaro of The Scooby-Doo Show's Jeepers! It's The Jaguaro!
"It's Jaguaro! He's supposed to be in Brazil!" Velma exclaimed while pointing at the monster.
"Aahhh!" Brenda screamed "Lets get outta here."
"Velma's Right! They were ALL fakes!" said Fred.
"So we don't need to run away from these doofuses." Daphne said.
Gazoo however tried to tell him something "Fred, I don't think-"
However, Freddy was blinded by his pride and went up to the Blot. He still thought the Blot was a fake. He went over to the Blot to "unmask" him.
HE ATE FREDDY!
"Then that means-" Shaggy shivered.
"Re's Real!" Astro and I yelled.
"Then that means…" Velma concluded "They're all real!"
Freddy was gone! And Daphne was heartbroken!
"GET THAT MUTT AND HIS MEDDLING COHORTS!" Strickland ordered the monsters. The monsters went up to seize me and the gang.
"Run!" Shaggy yelled.
We ran all around the castle with the monsters chasing after them. We went through all kinds of doors throughout the castle, until we finally lost them in a nearby room.
"Ok guys!" Velma whispered "We need to stop the monsters and destroy the doomsday machine"
"How do we do that?" Shaggy asked Velma.
"It's simple, we need some people to distract the monsters and someone to go after Strickland and Dastardly and someone to stop the doomsday device."
"ZOWIE! And I have splendiferous plan!" Taffy exclaimed to her allies.
"Oh no, another Daffy Taffy Plan" Brenda groaned.
"Me, Yogi, Huck, Top Cat, Snagglepuss, Hong Kong Phooey, Spot, Dino and the rest of the girls will go after the monsters" Taffy said.
"No problemo Taffy" Huck said.
"Scooby, Shaggy, Dynomutt, and Scrappy will go after Strickland, Dastardly, and Mutely!" She added.
"Right on Taffy!" Dynomutt exclaimed.
"And, Fred, Barney, Cavey, and Cavey Jr will go and destroy the doomsday machine." She finished.
Scrappy, Shaggy, Gazoo, and I got to the central control room. Dastardly and Strickland had finally finished activating the machine.
"Now that the machine has been activated, we will finally rule the entire kingdom of Boomerland! Or Strickland World as it will be called!" Strickland said with an evil grin.
Before Strickland could pull the lever, something stopped him.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE STRICKLAND!" Shouted Shaggy.
"We've got you cornered!" Scrappy shouted.
"So you'd better give up now!" I added "We've got you surrounded punk!"
"You think you're so smart," Strickland hissed. "But this is a mere fraction of my all powerful army!" Strickland raised his arms in the air. "Soon this whole world will be mine!" he declared with demented glee. "When the Blot absorbs all of the paint in Boomerland, all that will survive are me, Dastardly, Muttely, my robot army, and the monsters."
"Is that why you And joined forces with the Blot?" Gazoo demanded.
"I like winners," Strickland said with a sneer. He pointed at Scooby. "That's why it's your heart I want."
"Why do you need a heart, anyway?" Shaggy asked.
"Let's just say the Blot and I…have bigger things in mind. Taking over Boomerland is just the beginning! And now that the entire Mystery Inc is here, I'll have five hearts for the price of one" He laughed.
Just then, the alarm starting beeping and red lights flashed everywhere. What was going on?
Suddenly, a voice came from the speakers on the doomsday machine...
"Self destruct coin slot has been activated" The speakers said "Ten seconds till detonation"
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly.
"Coin operated self destruct?" Dastardly asked himself "Not one of my bright ideas"
As everyone ran out of the castle, Strickland and the Blot went back to their machine.
"No-no-NOOOOO!" He yelled "My machine!"
The Blot roared at his own failure. While, Daphne went back to take on the Blot and save Freddy.
She went inside of the Blot to rescue her Fred Jones.
"Detonation in 10" said the machine.
Daphne searched all over the inside of the Shadow Blot for Freddy. I had to save Daphne from having her colors sucked out of her.
"9"
She struggled through all the ink. Outside, I had been blasting the Blot with thinner from Merlin's magic paintbrush.
"8"
The machine was still about to self-destruct and have a catastrophic meltdown.
"Scooby-Doo! We gotta get outta here! We don't have any time!" Shaggy called out to me.
"7"
"6"
I had kept shooting thinner into the monster, until...The Blot had dissolved and Daphne came back with an unconscious Freddy in her arms. Me and Daphne ran out of the castle.
"3"
"2"
"1"
KA-BOOM! The entire castle had exploded. Strickland's entire lair had exploded in a huge detonation and into smithereens. Luckily, Freddy woke up from his coma.
"Freddy! You're alive!" Daphne said with so much joy and jubilation. She wrapped her arms around him and started kissing his cheek so many times over and over and left red lip marks on his face.
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH we gotta get to Scoobyjunk Mountain!" Scrappy interrupted as Daphne tried to kiss Freddy on the lips (resulting in her accidentally kissing Scrappy on the lips in the process).
"Roh yeah! Rye forgot about that!" I stated.
"Thanks Scrappy, I totally forgot thats what we've been trying to do this whole adventure" Top Cat said.
"Yeah. We've been so busy trying to stop Strickland and Dastardly, that we forgot about the rocket." Penelope said.
"Say what happened to Strickland anyways?" TC asked.
"Wait a minute, you mentioned the rocket right?" George asked.
"Yes I did" Penelope told George "Why?"
"Well, the rocket needs repairs, we need the stolen parts to repair it and the rocket needs fuel. It needs 4 tanks of fuel or it won't go!" George told them.
"There are 4 tanks of fuel in different places and neighborhoods in the kingdom. One is at Squiddly Lagoon, another one is in the Banana Splits Clubhouse in Yogi Bear Forest, another one is at the Speed Buggy Garage in Boomer Town, and another one at Pizza Potamus in Boomer Town. Well each split up into teams and get them. I'll go with George, Jane, Gazoo, and Astro to fix the rocket in Orbit City with the missing parts. After you guys recover the fuel, meet me at Scoobyjunk Mountain where we will launch the rocket and then we'll fly out of here" Scrappy told us.
"OK then!" Freddy agreed "Daphne an-"
"Not so fast muscle-head!" Scrappy interrupted "I'm the king of this kingdom, so I get to make the teams!"
"Very well then, Scrappy you make the teams!" Freddy said as he crossed his arms.
"Thats more like it." Scrappy said with a snooty look "Now, Daphne and Pretty Penny will go with the Teen Angels to the Banana Splits Clubhouse, Uncle Scooby and Shaggy will go with Yogi and his gang to Speed Buggy Garage, Freddy will go with the cavemen to Pizza Potamous, and Velma will go with the Super Guys to Squiddly Lagoon."
"Very well then, alright gang rets move!" I exclaimed.
We finally arrived at Speed Buggy Garage. It was a mechanics and gas station. People came all over to get their cars repaired and to fill up their tanks.
Me and my team discovered a orange dune buggy with eyes and a mouth.
"Put-put-put Welcome to Sp-sp-sp-Speed Buggy's Garage!" The car said "How may I help-"
The car was shocked to see us.
"Sc-sc-sc-Scooby Doo and sh-sh-sh-Shaggy Rogers" He exclaimed.
"How do you know our names?" Shaggy asked.
I knew I saw that talking car before, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"It's me! Sp-sp-sp-Speed Buggy!" The car told us "Do you remember me? We teamed during the Hanna-Barbera Laff-a-Olympics. I was on your team! And we crossed paths on the The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode, The Weird Winds of Winona and the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated episode, Mystery Solvers Stat Finals. I even made a cameo in Scooby-Doo! Mask of The Blue Falcon!"
I felt secrelty guilty not recognizing Speed Buggy.
"Thats okay, nobody else remembered either, so why are you guys here?" Speed Buggy asked.
"We're here to get a fuel tank for a rocket ship, do you have one?" Snagglepuss asked.
"It just so happens I do!" Speed Buggy said "I've got the last one in the backseat"
"How much money do we need?" Shaggy asked.
"Well since, its for some old friends of mine, it's free!" Speed Buggy told Shaggy.
"Ranks Speed Buggy!" I thanked the car "Rell, re have to get to Scoobyjunk Mountain"
Before we left, Speed Buggy stopped us right there.
"Pu-pu-pu-wait!" He exclaimed "Since you are here, maybe I can give you a ride, I insist! The least I could do, since I lost my friends in the Thinner Disaster"
"Like sure, you can come with us" Shaggy agreed.
"Pu-pu-pu-alright!" Speedy exclaimed happily.
We jumped into Speed Buggy, and drove off to Scoobyjunk Mountain.
We finally arrived at Scoobyjunk Mountain which was a mountain made from Scooby Doo merchandise that landed in Boomerland over the years. It had a giant thinner bottle on top of the mountain. The bottle on top looked very familiar to me. Me, Scrappy, Shaggy, Snagglepuss, Yogi, TC, Huck, and Speedy regrouped with the others. On top of the mountain were all kinds of Scooby Doo merchandise including, comic books, video games, sports equiptment, T-shirts, accesories, coloring books, mugs, lunch boxes, and more.
We climbed the mountain made from merchandise of him. Ocassionally we did stop to read some books, try on some accessories, and whatnot. Soon, we finally found Scrappy. He was with the Jetsons and Gazoo trying to plug a cork into the giant bottle.
"HEY!" Scrappy shouted "A little help here?"
"Yeah! We gotta get this thing shut tight!" George stated.
"Come on gang!" Freddy told the gang.
We all went to the bottle and helped Scrappy, Gazoo, and the Jetsons push the cork into the bottle.
"Quick push!" Scrappy grunted.
"PUSH!" Jane grunted.
They pushed harder and harder and finally, they sealed the bottle tight.
"That was a close one!" Scrappy exclaimed with a sigh.
"What was in there?" Daphne asked the puppy.
"The Blot!" Scrappy said.
"But we defeated the Blot" Velma corrected.
"You haven't seen the real Blot.." Scrappy said sadly "Many years ago during the Thinner Disaster, Flim-Flam, Googie, and I had been called upon this mountain to stop the Blot...we stopped the Blot, but...Googie and Flim-Flam got turned to stone by the Blot. Their deaths deeply affected me and I felt lonelier than ever. And since then, I've been staying on this stupid mountain guarding this bottle. The guy you fought earlier were just tiny drops. I miss them a lot."
Scrappy told me and the others he hated us because we left em. We told us he was outraged about that we made em the main antagonist of our first live-action movie. However that was only one reason! He told us that the minor mentions of him are another reason. Allow me to explain...
In an Evening with The Scooby-Doo Gang, Fred mentioned a 6th of the gang and Shag said not to talk about Scrappy and he was talking about the van.
In one of our movies, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King, where me and Shaggy battled an evil wizard played by Wayne Knight (you may remember him as Newman on Seinfeld) there was a scene where he possesed the Mystery Machine and it ran over a stand of dolls of Scrappy.
In an episode of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, a show starring us and a bunch of other forgotten toons, Scrappy made a cameo at the end. He was then taken by the Avenger and we laughed at it. In his next appearance, he was a dead corpse along with Bandit from Johnny Quest.
He appeared as a statute on the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc episode, The Sirens Song. Daphne saw it and mentioned that she never saw it before. Fred then said we promised no to speak of Scrappy. Daphne turned around and glared at the Scrappy statue. There was also another reason Scrappy hated that episode...Flim-Flam was in it! And Daphne said he was doing time, 25 year to life to be exact. And boy was Scrappy distraught at Daphne...she never did anything to get him out. Daphne has plenty of money to bail him out.
Plus there's more, The DVD's of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show, Ghoul School, Boo Brothers, Reluctant Werewolf, and The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo didn't have him on the cover art, mention him in the description, have him in the commercials, or even have him in the DVD menu, as if he wasn't in at all.
And finally the final insult, on the celebration of Cartoon Network's 20th birthday, Bugs Bunny took a group shot with a bunch of past and present Cartoon Network characters (past meaning forgotten characters like the people me and the gang were with). Before the photo was taken, Jake the Bulldog pushed Scrappy out of the picture. Plus there were Scooby-Doo videos that showed Scrappy getting killed. I felt very awful for Scrappy. He had spent years of loneliness and misery in a broken castle and a kingdom that had been turned into a dump.
This made me figure out why the bottle looked familar, this was the same bottle of thinner I had tossed carelessly in Merlin's workshop. The bottle that had tumbled into Boomerland, along with the monstrous Blot. The bottle of thinner caused the Thinner Disaster. I was filled with guilt. I decided to tell Scrappy the truth, but before I could, Scrappy spoke first.
"Scrappy I..." I nervously began.
"You know Uncle Scooby" Scrappy told me as he held up a hand to stop him "I've been giving you guys a hard time. And I admit I have had a strong dislike towards you guys. Still do in fact...But I've noticed your bravery and courage" Scrappy continued "And well, Googie would want me to be more kind and compassionate and give others a second chance." Now he lifted his eyes to meet mine "What do you say? Shake?" Scrappy stuck his hand out to shake. This made me feel worse than before. Shaggy looked pretty concerned.
"Scooby like what's wrong buddy?" Shaggy asked me.
I had to come clean. I felt terrible because I didn't deserve Scrappy's love and respect, after I what had done.
"IT WAS ME!" I yelled.
"Huh?" Everyone asked.
"I AM THE TOON WHO CAUSED THE THINNER DISASTER AND CREATED THE BLOT!" I confessed.
Everyone stared at me, frozen in shock. I felt very guilty and sorry.
"Y-you...WHAT?" Scrappy yelled furiously as his eyes were filled with fire.
"I didn't mean to," I sadly said "It was a terrible accident, I didn't know-"
"I knew IT!" Scrappy came up, all thoughts of amends disappered from his mind "You-you FIEND! You are the one who abducted my Googie, the woman I have always treasured!"
"Scrappy, Scooby didn't-" Velma tried to say.
"ZIP IT DINKLEY!" Scrappy pointed to me "YOU LIED TO ME SCOOBY!"
That affected me deeply, I was called out by my own nephew, who was my biggest fan and son figure. And the others had a mutual feeling.
"You created a real monster that terrorized another dimension, not to mention, almost killed me?" Freddy yelled at me.
"Scooby Doo how could you?" Daphne asked angrily.
"I'm really, really, sorry" I told my friends sadly.
Scrappy was so furious and filled with fury, he finally snapped at me.
"That does it! Scooby Doo! I hereby banish you and your cohorts into the dungeon forever!" Scrappy hollered "GAZOO! Take them to the dungeon!." He jumped onto the cork and started stomping his feet.
So, Gazoo reluctantly put handcuffs on the gang and took us to the dungeon.
"Good riddance." Scrappy said to us with a death glare, while the others stood in shock.
I lost everything, the respect of my friends, my chances of making amends with my nephew, and my dignity.
