With Brianna and Trent...
"Boy, this island is getting creepier by the minute." Brianna commented.
"Tell me about it." Trent agreed.
"I thought of something, sooner or later Justine will find out and it will break her little heart."
"I know... What are we gonna do about it?"
"I don't know..." Brianna sighed.
Trent put his arm around her and patted her on the back. "Nothing's ever easy..."
They then saw something odd as they kept walking.
"Trent, isn't that the ferry?" Brianna pointed.
"Where?" Trent asked before he saw it himself as it was coming by the docks. "That's weird, I thought Simone said the ferry didn't run at night..."
"That's very strange." Brianna commented.
"We better keep our distance for now." Trent advised.
"Okay."
Meanwhile, with Shaggy, Scooby, and the Eds...
"Oh boy, Eddy," Ed gushed as they walked. "We get to see real zombies!"
Shaggy and Scooby were of course afraid of that.
"Come now," Double D looked back to Ed and Eddy. "Since Mystery Inc is here, it's sure to be some prankster in a mask..."
"I can see it now," Eddy grinned greedily. "Ed's Zombie Busters... We bring some zombies from here and bring them back to the cul-de-sac with us and scare those kids out of their wits!"
"Why am I friends with those two again?" Double D groaned slightly.
"You love us, Double D." Ed said as he hugged him.
Double D grunted from the hug. "Moving on..."
With June, Dee Dee, Cindy, and Maggie...
"June, have you ever fought zombies?" Cindy asked as they walked.
"Not really..." June said as they explored the bog, she then sighed. "I wish it was Edipan."
"What's Edipan?" Maggie asked as she popped some bubblegum.
"It's this one week a year where magic takes a holiday, including me." June explained.
"Hey June, should we tell Maggie about what we found?" Dee Dee suggested.
"I dunno... If you think she can handle it..." June shrugged.
"Okay... Well, here goes..." Dee Dee stopped with her and stood in front of the younger girls. "Maggie, there's something you should know."
"What!?" Maggie snapped as she chewed her candy.
"This island is filled with zombies and werecats." June concluded.
"Uh-huh..." Maggie was doubtful.
"There really is, Maggie..." Cindy held her bully in caution.
Maggie glared at her. "How do you know?"
"Because Monroe-"
June covered Cindy's mouth about talking about Monroe. "Because we just know!" she made up an excuse.
"Sure, and I'm an alien from outer space." Maggie scoffed.
"Really... We're telling the truth!" Dee Dee cried.
Maggie rolled her eyes. "Of course... Sure... I believe ya, really..."
Dee Dee didn't catch her sarcasm. "Really?"
"NO!" Maggie yelled, then glared at them. "Man, and I thought it'd be cool to hang out with a bunch of older kids! If you think you can scare me with dumb campfire stories, you're nuts!"
"But we are telling the truth!" June begged for her belief.
Maggie scoffed. "Prove it then."
"Oh, I'll give you proof..." June grumbled as they kept walking along.
With Jo, Mike, and Justine...
"You guys have actually seen real zombies?" Justine asked them on the way.
"Trust me, I know when someone's from the undead." Mike nodded.
"We even saw a ghost," Jo added. "Stay close to us though and you won't get hurt."
Justine nodded in caution.
April then decided to appear. "Hello, friends." she greeted.
Justine had a small yelp, but smiled to the girl.
"April, there you are," Mike smiled a little. "Where've you been?"
"Sorry, I was telling my parents about our new heroes," April smiled to them. "We're very excited... We also wish we could've been alive to see this..."
"We're looking for the zombies, have you seen any around?" Jo asked the ghost girl.
"Yeah, just over there." April pointed to a direction.
"Um... Who is this?" Justine asked her friends.
"Sorry Justine, that's April Johnston, the ghost girl we met," Mike explained. "Thanks, April."
"Are they real zombies?" Justine asked, a little worried.
"Yeah, they are..." April nodded seriously. "Plus they're real and not men in masks..."
Justine gasped. "But how?"
"Werecats," April explained like she did with Mike and Jo. "They drained us for immortality."
"Really!?"
April nodded.
"Who are these werecats?"
"Their names are Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree."
Mike and Jo got a little nervous that April revealed that Lena was one of the werecats.
"Wh-What!?" Justine gasped. "Lena? No, she couldn't be... She's my new best friend!"
"I'm sorry, but it's true." April confirmed truthfully.
"No, it can't be Lena, it's not like that!" Justine then ran away.
"Justine, come back!" Jo called.
"Oh man, I was afraid this would happen..." Mike frowned.
"I'm so sorry for telling her that." April did not realize what she had just done.
"It's okay... Justine's a little sensitive... Kinda like a butterfly..." Mike soothed the best she could.
"I see." April understood now.
All of the sudden, there was a strong wind blowing.
"That's some strong wind." Mike noted.
"Does that mean anything?" Jo asked April, a little concerned.
"It means that the zombies are rising up from the dead," April explained. "And you two are the only ones that know the zombies are the good guys."
"Wait... Zombies are good...?" Jo was a little nervous about that.
"Yes..." April nodded. "Simone and Lena are bad..."
"We better tell the others!" Mike cried.
"What about Justine?" Jo asked.
"We'll find her on the way!" Mike called as she went off first.
"Okay, let's go." Jo commanded.
As the two tomboys ran off to find the others, they ran into a couple of people which it was Shaggy, Scooby, and the Eds.
"Watch it, will ya!?" Jo snapped.
"YOU WATCH IT!" Eddy glared back, not noticing who it was.
"You wanna make me, shrimp!?"
"Wait a minute, I know that voice..." Eddy gulped. "Jo, is that you?"
"Sorry Jo, I thought you were someone else..."
Jo rolled her eyes, then looked to the Eds. "You guys okay?"
"Quite..." Double D shrugged.
Scooby nuzzled against Mike who then held him.
"It's okay, Scooby..." Mike smiled to him. "Anyway, we gotta tell you about Simone and Lena."
While Mike and Jo told Shaggy, Scooby, and the Eds about the true bad guys of this mystery, Fred, Daphne, Brianna, and Trent had just discovered that the zombies were real and not animatronics, and now, they were running for their dear lives. Trent was making sure Brianna could keep up while Fred was doing the same with his camera and Daphne.
Meanwhile, Justine was still running away, but then she saw the ferry boat.
"What's weird, why is the ferry boat here?" Justine asked herself, then saw Jacques. "Hey, Jacques!"
"Well, if it isn't, Justine?" Jacques greeted. "What are you doing out this time of night?"
"Jacques, I was told there were werecats here, do you know about it?"
"Werecats, you say?"
"Yeah... Ya know... Like werewolves, but cats, I guess..." Justine shrugged, she didn't really know what werecats were herself. "Do you know about these werecats and zombies, Jacques?"
Jacques gave her a look. "You're a lot like your Velma friend... Treating me like a suspect..."
Justine's eyes widened. "No sir, I'm not like that at all."
"Maybe you should go back, kid..." Jacques glanced at her.
Velma poked her head out from behind him and noticed the girl. "Justine!"
"Velma!" Justine rushed to the brains of the Mystery Inc gang and hugged her instantly. "I was so scared!" she cried suddenly.
Velma hugged her with a small smile. "It's okay..."
Justine hugged her tight, then set a glare to Jacques.
"We were just on our way back to the house," Velma explained to the shy beauty. "Simone and Lena don't know about the zombies yet."
Justine sniffled. "Okay."
Then Daphne, Fred, Brianna, and Trent appeared.
"Hey Justine, there you are." Trent sounded relieved.
"You okay?" Brianna added.
"Fine..." Justine murmured, not really fine, but at least her friends were there she guessed.
"Did you find the guys?" Velma asked, referring to Shaggy, Scooby, and the Eds.
"Yeah, but we lost them and found zombies," Daphne replied. "Real zombies!"
"Really real, Fred?" Velma asked him.
"I hate to admit it, but they were." Fred nodded.
Fred heard something in the bushes.
"Oh, no, it's the zombies!" Daphne cried.
Instead of the zombies, it was June, Dee Dee, Maggie, and Cindy.
"Hey guys." June greeted.
Cindy gasped as she came out and crawled across the ground, looking a little knocked out.
"Oh get up, you stupid butt monkey..." Maggie scoffed at Cindy.
"Never again..." Cindy panted. "Wanna go home... Done with... Adventure..."
"I'm sorry Cindy, but we're not done yet." Velma said to the poor girl.
"Gonna die..." Cindy still panted. "Zombies... Werecats...Aaaaugh..."
Lena was then heard screaming.
"That sounds like Lena, come on, guys!" Fred exclaimed.
Cindy still panted, looking very low with energy and unable to move as the others went off. "Go on... Without me... Gonna... Lie here... And die..."
"Oh no you're not!" Maggie took out a water bottle and forced her to drink it.
Cindy blinked as she was instantly hydrated and she started to run with Maggie. "That was the nicest thing you've ever done for me!"
"Don't mention it," Maggie smiled at first, then looked evil to her as always. "Ever... To anyone!"
As they went into the house they split up to find Lena and Simone but no luck until Justine heard her voice and found her
"Lena!" Justine called.
Lena had been comforting Fred from slight pain with the zombie chase.
"What's going on?" June could see there was trouble here as well.
"It was a nightmare, Miss Lenoir and I were outside waiting for you when we were attacked by these... These..." Lena tried to explain the best she could, a little overwhelmed, but glad to see Justine again.
"Zombies?" Cindy asked.
"Yes," Lena continued. "We ran back to the house and Miss Lenoir opened the secret passageway. She said it was built during the Civil War to hide from union soldiers. But the zombies came after us!" her voice suddenly got louder from the excitement. "They grabbed Miss Lenoir and dragged her away! Thank goodness you've come!"
"It's okay, everything's going to be alright." Fred comforted her.
Daphne gave him a dirty look.
As the group was followed Velma until they came to the passageway, the brainiac bent down, looking at the footprints.
"Are you sure that Simone was dragged away?" Velma asked, a little unsure.
"Yes, it was horrible!" Lena sounded traumatized.
Velma wanted to explore, especially after she found a cat statue. They were going through a mysterious cavern.
"Ooh~..." Dee Dee looked curious and thrilled.
"Where are we?" Brianna asked as she clung to Trent.
"This looks like where they have voodoo rituals like in the old days." Cindy observed, showing she was a lot smarter than she gave credit for.
"Well, let's ask Lena!" Velma suggested.
"Huh?" Justine looked to her.
"What are you talking about?" Fred also asked.
"Her story about Simone getting dragged by zombies is not true," Velma said to the others to explain. "I found the footprints out of Simone's heels. She wasn't dragged, she walked down that tunnel."
Cindy looked with her and nodded. "She's got a point there, guys."
There were suddenly rattling noises heard and Simone was shown over to them as she darkly walked over to them all, not looking at all friendly, not like she did before, but this was worse... Much worse.
"Very clever, girls," Simone grinned darkly to Cindy and Velma for their brain power. "But it is too late..."
Lena seemed to look just as evil as Simone did right now.
"Lena, what's going on?" Justine asked, a little scared and nervous.
"Oh, nothing special..." Lena said as Simone took out wax dolls.
