A/N: Now, this is where the biggest surprise, or should I say "surprises", unfolds.

Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Omen

Chapter 9: The Revelation

Later, at the mansion, Fred, Daphne, and Velma were surprised to learn what Shaggy and Scooby did at the Ghoul School, as well as Transylvania.

"No way! You two actually became gym teachers for the Ghoul School kids and raced at the Monster Road Rally with you as a werewolf?", asked Fred.

"Like, true story, Fred.", Shaggy replied.

"And here, I thought you two would usually run away.", Daphne admitted.

"Like, we didn't have a choice. It turned out the Ghoul School kids were friendly.", Shaggy exclaimed.

"Yeah. So is Ms. Grimwood.", Scooby agreed.

"It was Revolta we needed to watch out for.", Shaggy added.

"Yeah. She was the meanest monster ever.", Winnie agreed.

"No way!", Madelyn exclaimed.

"Jinkies. Sounds like we missed a lot.", Velma guessed.

"Well, it is nice to get to meet them. They're so cute.", Googie admitted.

"Aw, thanks.", Tanis gratified.

"And they met us at a haunted mansion.", Freako added.

Meanwhile, Thorn and the other girls saw a painting of Sarah Ravencroft.

"So, she was a real Wiccan?", asked Luna.

"That's right.", Ben replied.

"Ah. So cool.", Dusk admitted.

"She's beautiful.", Thorn spoke.

"Yes. I think so, too. And that's why I get upset when people accuse her of being a witch.", Ben responded.

"That may be true, but she is the one responsible for keeping our world safe from the clutches of Chronos the Grim Reaper.", Vincent agreed.

"Chronos the Grim Reaper?", puzzled Ben.

"Indeed. A lot has happened the day of the Salem Witch Trials more than you could possibly imagine. After the trials, the husband was quite distraught about losing his wife, so much in fact, that he angrily incited a curse that would cast down death upon all who crossed him. As a result, he summoned the treacherous Chronos the Grim Reaper for revenge, but the vile reaper had other plans. He instantly turned on his summoner and took his life. The Wiccans were the first to act against him and fight him. Many have failed, but only Sarah Ravencroft was able to defeat him and banish him to another dimension. Unfortunately, however, Sarah had to sacrifice herself in order to ensure that he remains imprisoned, leaving behind 2 books: this very book and its opposite, the Beast's Spellbook.", Vincent replied.

"Wow. But, how did Sarah's journal end up becoming a guidebook and Spellbook?", asked Googie.

"Since the Great War, the journal somehow evolved every time it gets passed down from generation to generation to Wiccans, until my great-great Grandfather, gifted that book to Dracula, knowing for certainty that he would keep the book safe from any mortal who would dare take it to end humanity. And to make it official, he dubbed it the Grimness Book of Records. Apparently, it remained in the shelf, oblivious to the inhabitants in Dracula's castle, until Wolfgang provided it to him in order to provide Dracula a way to get a new werewolf for some sort of monster road rally. The surprising part is, afterwards, the book can only work well for both monsters and Wiccans.", Vincent replied.

"What? But if I've successfully lifted the cat god's curse a while ago and turned myself into a werewolf, that would make me a...", Googie began to realize before Vincent spoke.

"Yes, Googie. That would make you a Wiccan.", the Goblin King spoke.

"A Wiccan?!", the gang and monsters shouted in surprise.

"Oh, boy. I think I need to sit down.", Googie spoke as she sat down before Fred spoke to Thorn.

"Never mind that. How was it possible for the Grimness Book of Records to be Sarah's journal all this time? Why, the first time I got a book like that, it was already full of spells and facts.", puzzled Dracula.

"I think I owe you girls an apology for thinking you were, well, uh...", Fred began apologizing before Daphne finished.

"Witches. We saw you perform some kind of ritual in your shed.", Daphne spoke.

"Actually, That ritual was to help sooth her vocal chords.", Lena corrected as one of her cats walked up to Thorn and cuddled with her legs, purring.

"That's right. We just pretend that stuff. It's just a gimmick for our band.", Dusk assured.

"We're eco-goths. Kind of like Wiccans. Just ask Thorn. She is one, too.", Luna added.

"Yeah, right. Sally McKnight. 1/16th blood on my mother's side. And that ritual you saw was just peppermint and clothes to sooth my vocal chords. You think it's easy singing that stuff?", chuckled Thorn.

"Thorn's herbal vapor is awesome. We all use it before and after every show.", Dusk added.

"I knew it.", Lena spoke with a grin as one of the pet cats then walked up to Lena, who picked her up.

"But what about those fangs?", asked Scrappy.

"My Dad's a dentist. He outfitted the band.", Luna replied as she took the fake teeth out and showed them to Scooby, who quickly panicked.

"Yikes!", Scooby exclaimed before he leapt up on Shaggy's arms and Dusk and Thorn removed the fake fangs as well.

"Like, we knew it all along, right Scoob?", Shaggy asked.

"Yeah. Yeah.", Scooby agreed before Googie spoke to him.

"Uh-Huh. And what do you think about my fangs?", asked Googie as she then grew wolf fangs, which glistened, impressing Shaggy.

"Like, I'd say they're whiter than ever.", Shaggy complimented, earning Googie's giggle.

"And what do you think about his?", Winnie asked pointing to Scooby, who was putting on fake fangs at the moment.

"Like, what are you talking about, Winnie?", asked Shaggy before Scooby bared his fangs, growling, frightening Shaggy in the process.

"Yikes!", Shaggy exclaimed before he hopped onto Luna's arms, puzzling her as both the Ghoul School kids, Googie, Lena, her 2 cats, and Scrappy laugh as Luna set Shaggy back down before Scooby laughed along with Googie and Scrappy, even Dracula and his monster group.

"Pretty dang hilarious, isn't it?", Frankenstein's Monster chuckled.

"Yeah. That's actually the first monster joke I actually like.", Googie giggled before the mayor knocked on the door before opening it to show himself and Mr. McKnight.

"Mayor?", puzzled Ben.

"We've been ringing your doorbell for some time and...", the Mayor spoke.

"Oh, sorry about that. I've been meaning to fix that thing for years. What's up, mayor?", asked Ben.

"Well, Ben, I feel real bad about everythin' and I wanted to apologize for usin' your ancestor in our little publicity stunt.", the mayor apologized.

"I'm sure he understands. In fact, so do I, but why did you guys do that, anyhow?", puzzled Googie.

"The tourist trade was so slow. We were desperate.", McKnight replied.

"Right, and-and he once told me that supernatural phenomena always attracts people.", the Mayor added.

"It was just natural to use Sarah, because...we accidentally dug up her grave.", McKnight added, surprising Ben.

"What grave?", asked Ben.

"I'm sorry, Ben. But you see, I lied to you when you asked me if we found anything of Sarah's while we were building the puritan village.", the mayor apologized.

"We did. It was her grave marker. We found it in a bulldozed pile of dirt and rocks. We didn't want to upset you.", McKnight added.

"But that's all we found. No bones.", the mayor assured.

"No book?", asked Ben.

"Nothing but that grave marker. We swear, Ben.", McKnight assured.

"We don't even know where her grave is.", the mayor added.

"It's true. It could be anywhere between Miller's Creek and the big tree stump.", McKnight added, making Velma gasp in surprise before she walked over to the painting.

"What is it? Did you figure something out?", asked Googie.

"Shaggy, do you still have that shoe buckle Googie found today?", asked Velma.

"Like, this one? Here.", Shaggy replied as he gave it to her before Velma figured out the pieces of the puzzle.

"No offense, but how is a belt buckle this important?", asked Dracula.

"Googie, do you think you can show us exactly where you found this?", asked Velma.

"Well, I'll try.", Googie replied.

"That's actually a great idea. We'll all search there.", Freako agreed.

"In the meantime, you guys stay here with Dracula and the others and help watch over everyone. If there's any trouble, I'll give a howl.", Googie spoke as she turned to the Ghoul School kids.

"Okay.", Winnie agreed.

Meanwhile, outside, Simone and Jacques were on top of the mansion roof as they spoke, concerning what they just heard.

"You hear that? Those meddling brats might actually help us after all.", Simone grinned.

"So, we get rid of them now?", asked Jacques.

"Not yet. We will only reveal ourselves after they found the Beast's Spellbook. I'm sure Lucifer and Revolta will take care of the rest.", Simone assured.

A/N: Now, the next chapter is where they finally encounter the man in a black coat. Sorry, if I've spoiled anything. Also, the rest of the Ghoul School kids are voiced by the original actors, well, apart from Winnie, that is, since she's actually voiced by Natalie Palamides this time around, and I forgot to mention that Khary Payton voices Frankenstein's Monster while Dragon Fly is voiced by Mark Gagliardi, probably due to his role as Boo Fly in "Star vs. the Forces of Evil".
