The next day, Sheriff Bronson Stone woke up from sleeping on his desk. He was reading more about the escaped fugitives, when he groaned "I'll bet that those kids are going to catch all of them." He opened the door leading to the outside, and saw Professor Pericles and a cloaked figure chained together. "Well, look at what the dog dragged in. You, Professor Pericles, have been on the wanted list for months. And you…uh, I have no idea who you are" said Sheriff Stone to the parrot and the cloaked figure. "I am the Montauk Monster" the other croaked. "Yeah right" said Sheriff Stone as he removed the hood from the figure. It was then and there that he saw what perhaps was the ugliest monster in existence! He pulled the hood quickly over the Montauk Monster and said "You know…you look a lot better with this on."
Over the next few hours, Sheriff Stone was answering calls from people about seeing a gigantic robot walking through town, and that Creepy Spooky Terror Land was destroyed. He hung up the phone and looked at Professor Pericles and the Montauk Monster and said "Boy, when those kids meddle, they meddle big time." "Yeah, and we would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for that gigantic robot" said Professor Pericles.
Shaggy groaned as he woke up on the beach to see the sunset, and he also saw the gigantic robot staring at the sun setting on the ocean horizon. "You're awake" said the robot. "Like, like who are you?" asked Shaggy. The robot turned and knelt down so Shaggy could get a closer look at him. He saw a pair of sad red eyes staring down at him, and something around its neck. It was a blue collar, with a diamond-shaped identification tag that read "SD" on it. He looked up back into the robot's eyes and said "Scooby?" The robot nodded, then got up and watched the sunset again. "Or, at least I was. (sigh) My real name is Megatron. I was trapped in Scooby's body for many years as a punishment for what I've done in my past life. Upon Scooby's death, I am now back in my own body. I still possess his memories, but I can't be your pet any longer, Shaggy. I am sorry, but I have no choice but to leave this planet and try to find my way home among the stars" said Megatron as he watched the stars come out one by one as the sky got darker.
Shaggy got up, and walked over to Megatron and placed a hand on his leg. Megatron looked down and saw Shaggy looking up at the stars as well. "Is it alright if I still call you Scooby?" asked Shaggy. "Of course" said Megatron. Suddenly, Shaggy's stomach growled as Megatron laughed a bit, and then said "How about we go find some Scooby Snacks? I haven't had one in a few days." Shaggy then looked up at Megatron and said "Scoob, old buddy old pal, you always have the best ideas." Megatron then picked up Shaggy, and then walked off the beach to find some Scooby Snacks.
Very early the next morning, both Shaggy and Megatron arrived back at their house. Megatron had eaten an entire truckload of Scooby Snacks, and the two of them raided a few pizza places on the way home. Now, back at their house, Megatron placed Shaggy down on the ground as he began removing his stuff from his room. Shaggy had to walk in the house and climb up several flights of stairs to reach his room, and saw that all of Scooby's stuff was now removed. "Like Scoob, what were you doing?" asked Shaggy as he scratched his head. Megatron looked at Shaggy and said "Oh, I just wanted to take my stuff along with me while I head back home. Besides, I still remember when your parents placed me on that farm. When I got back, I had to take all of my stuff out of the garbage. I didn't want that to happen again."
Elsewhere in the house, Shaggy's parents were waking up. They turned on the TV, and they saw the news report of Creepy Spooky Terror Land being destroyed by a gigantic robot, and that same robot eating a truckload of Scooby Snacks. "Speaking of huge appetites, let me see if both Shaggy and Scooby are back from their night out with their friends" said Shaggy's father as he got up and walked over to Shaggy's room. Before he opened the door, he heard some loud engine noises, and then broke down the door to see Shaggy leaning out the window, looking at something. "Shaggy, what's going on?" asked his father. "Oh, just saying goodbye to a dear friend" sniffed Shaggy (he had been crying a lot.) The father approached his son, and then leaned out of the window to see a purple object getting smaller in the sky. "What was that?" he asked. Shaggy remained silent, before he turned away and headed downstairs to look for something to eat.
Shaggy's father then looked around the room, and he saw all of Scooby's stuff missing. "Now, what is going on?" he asked himself.
High above the skies of Earth, Megatron was flying into space, thinking of Shaggy. He knew that he was going to miss him dearly, but there was no way that he could stay on Earth. Countless miles, which turned into longer units to measure space, passed by Megatron as he flew deeper and deeper into the void of space. A strange pull tugged on Megatron that got stronger and stronger by the passing second, until he saw what was causing the pull. There was a small black hole pulling on him into it. Megatron tried to fly faster to escape, but he got sucked into it.
The first thing that he felt was extreme pain as he got sucked in, but then he saw all the stars whizzing by him as he fell into the black hole. A voice spoke to him "You have escaped the body that I imprisoned you in for now, Megatron, but that wasn't your last judgment. My Star Warrior will face you again, but this time, he'll be stronger than before. This is your last chance at redemption, before I send you for all eternity into the Void." Megatron somehow knew that he heard that voice somewhere before, but he didn't know from where.
On the other side of the black hole, Megatron had escaped. He was both very hot, and in a lot of pain. He groaned before he tried to fly someplace. It was then and there that he saw a very familiar sight. What, no way! thought Megatron, but what he saw wasn't an illusion. He saw the dead planet of Cybertron once again.
After landing on its surface, Megatron transformed and looked around. It was still as polluted as the last time that he remembered seeing it, but it looked as if any and all inhabitants have left a long time ago (there wasn't a single dead transformer on the whole planet.) He then walked to the long abandoned city of Kaon, seeing all the destroyed buildings of war. Since he had Scooby's memories in his processor, he began to feel some regret of what happened to the planet; he still hated the Autobots with a passion, but he was beginning to feel some regret of what he'd done.
Before he knew it, he was in Kaon, and looked around. "Now, where was that Space Bridge?" said Megatron as he placed a claw on his chin and rubbed it for a few seconds. He snapped his claws as he said "Oh, right" then began to walk in the general direction of where the Space Bridge was.
He found it, and saw the rusted and broken controls. "Lord Megatron, it's been so long since I've last seen you" a voice behind him said. "Nice to hear your voice again, Shockwave" said Megatron without turning. He heard some stumbling from behind him, and saw Shockwave, but he was missing his optic. "Shockwave, what happened?" he asked. Shockwave groped around blindly, until he felt Megatron's servo grab his arm, then the scientist said "Thank you, Lord Megatron. Thanks to that blasted Arcee and Cliffjumper, I'm blind in my optic. It's been impossible to do any experiments around here, and all of the other troops have left. I've been alone for stellar cycles." Megatron felt some pity for one of his most loyal officers, then said "Shockwave, is it possible for you to direct me to repair the Space Bridge?" "Yes it is, Lord Megatron, but why yourself? Why not one of the others, or even Starscream?" asked Shockwave. Megatron sighed; then said "It's part of a very long story."
Author's note: Surprised that Megatron was living inside of Scooby's head? For you Scooby-lovers out there, only Scooby died in that one dimension (there are many other versions of him in other parallel universes.) He will appear again, with a yet-unborn character from my 'Dimensional Warp' series. And yes, despite being a Decepticon, Megatron still loves Scooby Snacks.
