Everyone began to wait and watch to see what Shaz's act was. Shaz cracked his neck a bit before coming up to a pile of cinder blocks and soon carried one at first. The audience watched with mild suspense. Shaz soon began to stack up the pile of cinder blocks without making himself look weak or tired before chucking them into the air, doing a somersault and soon jumped back up onto his feet and began to juggle them, astounding the audience a bit.
"It's like he's that new hero." One of the audience members said.
"Do you suppose he could be like Superman?" A woman wondered to herself.
Shaz now saw the problem with his act; it was exposing one of his super-powers. The audience looked at him strangely. Shaz looked around as he looked bashful now.
"What's he doing?" Mallory asked.
"Maybe he caught stage fright." Nosedive guessed.
"Or he just remembered that he also has a superhero Identity to protect." Tanya whispered to the other Mighty Ducks.
"We have to help him," Wildwing said. "...But how? What would Canard do?"
Olivia began to think of a way to help before facing Grin. Shaz soon put the cinder blocks down and began to back away on the stage as the audience murmured about him, making him feel nervous about showing off his strength like that, especially when Kara told him to be careful.
'I should have listened to Kara.' Shaz thought to himself.
Olivia soon came to put wires on the cinder blocks in secret while the audience looked overwhelmed to make it look like Shaz was pretending to juggle and lift the cinder blocks with his own strength so he wouldn't look like a superhero freak like young Clark or Kara when not Superman and Supergirl.
"And there we go." Olivia whispered.
A spotlight soon shined down on Shaz.
"Yaugh!" Shaz yelped, ducking down.
"Hey! There's wires holding up those blocks!" A man called out. "He's not really juggling!"
"Huh?" Shaz asked until he saw Olivia with a knowing look and had a feeling this was her doing and which caused him to go along with it.
Olivia winked to him before climbing down from a ladder backstage.
Shaz winked back before gasping, putting his hands to his cheeks. "Oh, no! You've all found out my secret!"
The crowd soon started to boo at him for faking his act. Shaz grinned nervously and shuffled off to backstage.
"Way to go, kid, I hope you enjoy losing." Brick grumbled.
'It's better than I lost rather than exposing my secret.' Shaz thought to himself. Shaz soon went backstage and took down the cinder blocks with the wires.
"I feel bad he's getting booed off like that." Nosedive said.
"Yeah, but it's better than exposing his powers." Wildwing told him.
"Yeah or else he'd have the news asking him so many questions." Mallory said.
"Hmm... Well, okay." Nosedive shrugged.
Up next came the Stardust siblings as they set up their keyboard and guitar. Leo looked over to Emma who smiled and waved to him as she waited with her parents with her violin. Leo smiled and waved back.
"Think you're ready?" Luna asked.
"Yeah... I think so." Leo smiled.
"Great, then let's play our hearts out." Luna smiled back.
Leo smiled and nodded to her. The spotlight soon shined down on the Stardust siblings as they began to sing their Money song together like they did in dress rehearsal. And where everyone felt same way as the others did in dress rehearsal.
"Those two are such wonderful singers..." Meg said softly. "It seems like they might win."
Emma heard that and had the same thought. The siblings soon finished, bowing and curtsying as the crowd seemed to go wild for them.
"Good night, Chicago!" Leo laughed into the microphone, sounding like a rock star.
Luna simply rolled her eyes playfully. Leo laughed as he soon came backstage with his sister.
"You guys were great out there." Emma smiled to them.
"Oh, um, thanks, Emma." Leo smiled back, blushing.
"You'll do just as great." Luna smiled at Emma.
"Oh, you're both so sweet." Emma smiled back as she hugged the Stardust siblings.
Mike and Meg smiled as it seemed like their daughter had made a couple of new friends. Fred and Daphne soon went and took their turn on stage.
"Hey, like, where's Dewey?" Shaggy then asked.
"I don't know," Emma replied. "He's supposed to be here?"
"Where the heck is Dewey?" Brick asked.
"Like, nobody knows!" Shaggy replied.
"Does he still have his headset on?" Luna asked.
"Yes, so wherever he is," Brick replied. "I can hear him. He's breathing hard. Sounds like he's running and muttering. Something about soap, but that's what he's always talking about so..."
"Can I borrow this? Thanks!" Shaggy said as he took Brick's headset before running off with Scooby.
"Hey, you!" Brick called out, pointing to his personal assistant. "Yes. Get me another earpiece, and a latte. Yeah, yeah, fantastic."
"What was that about?" Leo asked.
"I have no idea..." Luna mumbled.
"Should we follow?" Leo asked about Shaggy and Scooby.
"Hmm... Maybe." Luna replied.
They soon followed after Scooby and Shaggy.
"Come on, Scoob, we gotta get to Dewey's office!" Shaggy told Scooby as they ran off together.
They went to Dewey's office and there was a book about the soap diamond. The Stardust siblings then quickly followed behind.
"Guys, what's going on?" Leo asked.
"We think that Dewey might be up to something," Shaggy replied. "Hey, you're those kids with the dinosaur gang."
"Yep." Leo and Luna smiled.
"Isn't it scary living with dinosaurs?" Shaggy shivered. "I don't know what I'd do if I had to meet dinosaurs in person."
"Ah, they won't hurt you," Luna smiled. "They're our family!"
"Yeah, they're good dinosaurs." Leo nodded.
"Well, all right, if you guys say so." Shaggy said nervously.
"The Soap Diamond... No doubt Dewey wants this with his unhealthy OCD." Luna said.
"We have to go tell the others." Leo said.
"The Soap Diamond," Shaggy replied. "It's right around the corner."
"And it's unguarded!" The Stardust siblings yelped.
They ran out of the office to warn the others as they ran around the corner.
Velma and the others were still in the control room, finding them in there instantly.
"What the heck are you guys doing in here?" KT asked them.
"Guys, you'll never believe what we found, but it's footage of-" Cherry was about to tell them as she held up a disc.
"Dewey! Phantom! Soap Diamond!" Leo told them.
"Wait, what?" Cherry asked.
"Come on, we gotta go!" Shaggy told her, grabbing her arm and running with her.
"Shaaagggyyyy!" Cherry cried out.
They soon started to explain how Dewey was the Phantom.
"You're sure?" Cherry asked.
Shaggy and Scooby nodded to her.
"He told the police to assign everyone they have here," Velma informed. "He must have done that so no one would be watching the mineralogical society. This way."
The group soon took off as they went to stop Dewey.
"Is he saying anything?" Fred asked Shaggy.
"Oh, I can hear traffic. He's outside," Shaggy said as he listened to the earpiece. "Like, he just said 'Got it'. We might be too late."
Dewey was soon seen as the Phantom outside the building that held the Soap Diamond.
"Dewey!" Fred called out as they came out in the middle of the road.
"Uh... Uh... I am the Phantom!" Dewey replied, trying to disguise his voice. "I know nothing of this Dewey!"
"Oh, come off it!" Cherry rolled her eyes. "We know it's you, you old fool!"
"You're still wearing your headset!" Patch added.
"Huh? Oh, darn!" Dewey said as he took off his headset.
"Give up, Dewey!" Cherry told him.
Dewey soon began to run.
"They always run..." Cherry rolled her eyes.
Dewey soon yelped, getting wrapped up in his cape and soon began to trip down the steps in misfortune.
"Poor Dewey." Patch sighed.
"I'd feel sorry for him, but other people's pain is hilarious." Cherry laughed a bit.
The others gave her a look from that.
"Oh, come on!" Cherry told them. "He deserves it!"
"Yeah, she's got a point." Patch nodded.
"Hahahaheh... I'm hilarious." Cherry smirked to herself.
Dewey soon seemed to lose the Soap Diamond as the bag it was in flew off from his hand.
"The Soap Diamond!" Velma cried out.
Scooby soon dashed off, catching the bag first and soon, the Soap Diamond fell into it, saving it just in time.
"Nice save." Patch smiled.
"Thanks!" Scooby smiled back.
"NO!" Dewey cried out and soon hopped into his car, coming down from the stairs.
"Way to go, Scooby-Doo!" Shaggy smiled and pet his best friend happily.
Headlights soon came on right behind them.
"Let me guess; he's right behind us in a car, right?" Cherry guessed.
"Looks like it." Patch said, shaking chills down his spine.
"I WANT THAT DIAMOND!" Dewey yelled out as he began to drive towards them.
"Run!" Cherry yelped.
They soon began to run as Dewey chased them in his car to run them over with so that he could get back the Soap Diamond. Scooby soon jumped as it seemed like he got hit and the Soap Diamond bag soon flew up in the air out of his hold. Dewey soon caught the bag with a grin and began to ride off away from them once he got what he wanted.
"After him!" Patch barked.
"To the Mystery Machine!" Fred proclaimed.
They soon rushed into the Mystery Machine.
"Hold on, Scooby!" Patch called out.
"Like he has a choice." Cherry remarked.
Scooby smiled once he saw the Mystery Machine and soon grabbed the Soap Diamond bag and went to go to the Mystery Machine and off of Dewey's car.
"Nice job, Scoob." Patch smiled.
"Thanks!" Scooby smiled back.
Dewey watched that in misfortune before seeing that he drove into a truck with oil drums filled with pink slime which soon tilted and splattered onto him.
"Ooh." Scooby and Patch winced from that at first.
"He's gonna be covered with filth." Patch winced.
Scooby nodded to that.
"That's karma for ya." Cherry smirked.
Dewey grunted and whimpered, seeing the pink slime all around him before growling and going back to driving after the others.
"He's after us!" Patch told the others.
Dewey soon laughed wickedly, coming up right behind them. Patch shuddered a bit as that reminded him a lot of when Cruella drove after the truck with him and his siblings and parents when they were on their way back home to London as Black Labradors. Fred soon narrowed his eyes and kept on driving, though a bit faster this time.
"Well, this certainly is something." Cherry said.
Fred soon swerved into an alley, hitting some trashcans which sent them flying against Dewey.
"Aw, that sucks." Cherry smirked.
The trash soon crashed on him, much to his dismay. "Eww! Icky!" But that didn't stop them as he continued to chase them down.
"Wow, he's not stopping." Patch said.
"He is INSANE!" Cherry cried out.
Dewey soon disappeared from behind them and was soon in front of them and began to hit them, making the Mystery Machine spin around on the road. Cherry soon held her stomach before cupping her mouth as her face turned bright green.
"Like, I can't watch!" Shaggy panicked.
Scooby then covered Shaggy's eyes.
"Like, thanks, Scoob." Shaggy then said.
"He's never going to stop chasing us!" Patch cried out.
"We're gonna be stuck here forever!" Cherry added.
"There's no way we can lose him," Fred frowned. "He's just too fast."
"Look out!" Daphne shrieked, seeing the roads being blocked off right now.
"Oh, come on!" Patch complained about the roads being blocked off.
"I'm such a bad luck charm..." Cherry groaned.
"Aw, Cherry, you're not bad luck." Atticus comforted.
"Aren't you and Mo suppose to go on after Emma?" Cherry reminded.
"Yeah..." Atticus replied. "But... That girl..."
"You feel bad that if you win, she won't be able to save her family farm?" Cherry guessed.
Atticus nodded out of guilt.
"So you think that if you and Mo miss your chance at performing, it'll help her chances at winning?" Patch asked. "Do you really think Emma would want to win that way?"
"Well, if you think I should go back... I can..." Atticus replied before suddenly disappearing.
"Oh, my God, he vaporized in thin-air." Cherry remarked.
"Or he used his magic to teleport back to the talent show." Patch said.
"Vaporize." Cherry smirked.
"Cherry, Atticus is your friend!" Patch scolded.
"He's also my brother." Cherry replied.
"Fair point." Patch said.
The other cars soon stopped as the bridge road was lifting up, but Fred soon drove the van anyway as a way to lure off Dewey. Dewey soon continued to chase after them as Fred drove the van up the rising road.
"Fred, I hope you know what you're doing!" Patch cried out.
"Please tell us that you know what you're doing!" Cherry begged.
Fred didn't say anything as he kept on driving. Dewey glared, hitting against the van with his own car which startled the others.
"I'm not ready to die, I'm not ready to die, I'm not ready to die." Cherry began to tremble as the van was soon over the bridged road, above the water below.
Patch soon got an idea of how to keep the Soap Diamond from Dewey. The van began to tilt back and forth.
"Cherry, I have an idea." Patch said.
"I hope it's safety and life." Cherry replied.
"Just follow my lead." Patch told her.
"Alright." Cherry said.
The van continued to tilt which made Cherry shake a bit and turn deathly pale.
"Hold it right there." Dewey said as he opened back of the Mystery Machine.
"That's probably a good idea." Cherry grinned nervously.
"Agreed." Patch nodded.
"So what's yours?!" Cherry asked.
"Follow me." Patch told her.
Dewey soon took out his feather duster which doubled as a sword.
"That is the cleanest sword I've ever seen." Daphne remarked.
"Yeah, it's doesn't have one speck of dust on it." Cherry added.
"Thank you..." Dewey smirked as he polished the sword, but saw that they were soon gone.
Patch led them away out of the van, quietly and carefully, reminding himself to be careful. They soon carefully and quietly climbed up the lifted up road bridge out of the Mystery Machine.
Cherry wobbled a bit, looking down which made her look dizzy like she could fall into the water, but Patch quickly caught her and pulled her back to keep her from falling. "Whew..." She then sighed. "Thanks."
"You're Atticus's best friend, I never want anything to happen to you," Patch said. "Even if you're not always very nice."
Cherry looked a little touched from that.
"There you are!" Dewey glared.
"Yaugh!" Cherry flinched slightly.
"The bag!" Dewey demanded. "Hand it over!"
"Why do you want this diamond so badly anyway?" Fred glared.
"I need it to complete my collection of cleanliness-themed treasures," Dewey informed. "I've already stolen the Ammonia Lisa and the Sponge of Turin."
"So that was you!" Velma gasped to the insane man.
"Uh-huh, but you need three things to make a collection!" Dewey glared. "THREE things, not two!"
"I guess that's true." Cherry replied.
"Too true." Patch nodded.
"Now give me the bag!" Dewey demanded.
Fred soon held out the bag and dropped it out of his hand.
'And he dives down for it.' Patch thought to himself.
"NO!" Dewey yelped, going to do just that.
"Dewey!" Daphne cried out, concerned for his own safety, even if he just tried to kill them.
"Don't worry, he's gonna have a soft landing." Cherry smirked as she saw a garbage barge coming.
"Ooh..." The others replied, though grimaced from the garbage.
"I think that's a better punishment than jail." Cherry smirked.
Dewey happily caught the Soap Diamond in his hands, but then yelled out in a panic once he saw he was about to land in garbage. Soon, he eventually did land in the garbage. Dewey soon began to have a nervous breakdown from being trapped in the garbage before he began to look for the Soap Diamond's bag. The others just watched him as he soon laughed happily as he brought out the bag, but when he opened it...
"I've got it!" Dewey laughed as he dug through the trash before finding something as he opened the bag only to find a dog biscuit and not the diamond. Yuck! A slobbery dog bone. Ugh."
"Looking for this?" Cherry smirked as Patch showed that he had the Soap Diamond.
"Ooh, too bad." Fred also smirked.
Scooby chuckled from that. The police soon came over to arrest Dewey once and for all.
"He's going to be spending the rest of his life in prison." Patch smirked.
"Unclean prison!" Cherry soon laughed with him.
"And I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!" Dewey groused as he was being taken away.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Cherry and Patch rolled their eyes.
