Meanwhile, the Crimson Cloak was typing on a computer while Batman and Aquaman were finding a way to get loose.

"Aquaman, keep him distracted." Batman decided.

"Will do, old chum," Aquaman smirked. "I'll masterly misdirect that maleficent miscreant. Hey there, buddy!" He then called out to the Crimson Cloak. "Let's not be too hasty with those buttons! After all, theft is one thing, but this... I mean, I've taught my young Aqua Girl a thing or two with her little friends."

"No loose ends." The Crimson Cloak replied.

"Ah, yes, loose ends that reminds me of the time Mera made her famous squid entrail casserole," Aquaman continued. "Ah, unfortunately, the squid had gone bad, and-"

"Ah, ah, ah!" The Crimson Cloak glared as he saw what Batman was doing and wrapped tendrils around his arm. "No tricks, Dark Knight! And now, dear Batman, it's your turn to be scattered everywhere," he then turned on the machine. "And so, ends the world's greatest detective!"

Batman and Aquaman looked in suspense.

"And what's left of Gotham City will be trailed to the Underworld's into pieces!" The Crimson Cloak told Batman.

Then suddenly, a Baterang hit the lever, turning the machine off and The Crimson Cloak looked above and saw a shadow.

"What?!"

"Desist with this depraved distention you diabolical despot!" Shadow Wolf called out.

Everyone else then came out from the shadows to show their new superhero costumes.

"The Bat Gang has arrived!" Shadow Wolf glared at the Crimson Cloak.

"Prepare to face The Members of Justice!" The others told the Crimson Cloak.

"Like, um, what's next?" Shaggy asked.

The Volcano twins, Shadow Wolf, and Paulina flew down while Fred, Daphne, Velma, Brianna, Trent, Scooby, Zan, Jayna, and Gleek used to grappling hooks to get down while Courtney and Shaggy look at each other in fear.

"I hope we can make it." Courtney hoped.

"Oh, how hard could it be?" Shaggy smiled to her.

Courtney groaned as she knew this was going to end badly somehow. Courtney and Shaggy took out their grappling hooks and managed to get down there safely, even though Shaggy went the wrong way.

"Outrageous!" Aquaman called out. "Now that's what I call an entrance!"

"More distractions!" The Crimson Cloak snarled and he then turned into Bat Villains such as The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Seductive Cat, and Mistress Python.

"Jeepers!" Daphne gasped. "He's turned into Bat Villains!"

"And he made them way uglier than they already are." Shadow Wolf grimaced.

"What do we do now?" Trent asked.

"RUN!" Scooby told him.

"Why not?" Shadow Wolf deadpanned.

Mystery Inc then ran away from the Bat Villains.


"Well, looks like it's up to us." Shadow Wolf said.

Kala and Arceus came beside Shadow Wolf. Of course, Seductive Cat and Mistress Python came toward the two.

"Wait, wait, wait," Arceus said. "This is going against my moral code: I can't hit girls."

"You wimps and not hitting girls," Shadow Wolf deadpanned. "It's okay if they deserve it!"

"But I can't!" Arceus replied.

"Hey, Batman fights against Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, and they're both girls." Shadow Wolf reminded.

"That's Batman though, I said it was my code." Arceus replied.

"Danny Phantom fights girls too," Shadow Wolf continued. "Such as Ember McLain, Kitty, Desiree, Penelope Spectra, and even the Lunch Lady."

"What's the point of this conversation?" Arceus asked Shadow Wolf. "I told you it's what I believe in."

"What about that time in school when you fought Heather and Lee Kanker?" Shadow Wolf replied.

"Uh, well..." Arceus stammered.

"Just do it, okay?" Shadow Wolf asked. "If you don't, then I'll do it. Man, you're so sensitive all the time."

"Okay! Okay!" Arceus gave in. "I'll fight them, just don't tell anyone in school, okay?"

"Deal." Shadow Wolf replied.

Arceus then came up in front of Seductive Cat and Mistress Python to fight against them, even though he didn't like to fight girls since he didn't think it was gentleman-like.

"That's more like it." Shadow Wolf smirked.

"Heeeelp!" Courtney cried out as she was being chased by Shadow Wolf.

"I'm not helping her." Shadow Wolf rolled her eyes since she didn't like Courtney.

"We can't go against the superhero code!" Kala reminded her.

"There's a code?" Shadow Wolf asked.

"You of all people should know that," Kala told her. "We save all innocent bystanders, even if some of them are pains in the butt."

"But it's Courtney Garcia!" Shadow Wolf defended. "Nobody likes her!"

"She doesn't deserve to be killed." Kala narrowed her eyes.

"You just told me to hurt these girls and that's against my own moral code, you're a superhero, and she needs your help," Arceus told Shadow Wolf. "I know she's a pain, sometimes I even wish she'd get kicked out of our school, but we have to help her."

"Fine, you guys win, I'll help her out." Shadow Wolf groaned out of defeat.

Kala and Arceus smiled to this.

"After all, she doesn't know who I am..." Shadow Wolf muttered before she then dashed as Courtney ran for her life only to be backed up in a corner against Poison Ivy.

"Stay away from me, please!" Courtney begged. "I'm a CIT!"

Poison Ivy just roared in her face. Courtney then screamed while hugging herself in fear. Shadow Wolf suddenly jumped and kicked down Poison Ivy flat on the ground while Courtney looked scared to death.

"Hey, are you okay?" The goddaughter of the Dark Knight asked the CIT.

Courtney looked up with a gasp. "It's you!"

"Yeah, yeah, you can have my autograph later." Shadow Wolf rolled her eyes, unable to control her disgust of Courtney.

Kala jumped in front of Fred and Daphne who were being chased by Two-Face and The Joker. "Not so fast!"

"Um, how long will it take for you guys to beat up those bad guys?" Courtney asked. "I mean, I could do it myself, but I just wanna see how strong you all are."

Shadow Wolf rolled her eyes to that. "Let me just put it basic: don't make any plans for Summer Vacation." she then muttered.

"Why?" Courtney asked.

"I'll eat you for dinner, Crazy-In-Training." Shadow Wolf muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Courtney asked.

"Just shut up and let the heroes do the work." Shadow Wolf told her.

"Man, you're grouchy for a superhero." Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Bad mood," Shadow Wolf replied. "I haven't eaten anyone for dinner."

"Uh, did you say anyone or anything?" Courtney asked nervously about that wording.

"I said anyone!" Shadow Wolf replied. "I'm a werewolf!"

"A werewolf?!" Courtney yelped.

"3, 2, 1..." Shadow Wolf cued.

Courtney screamed.

"My name is Shadow Wolf, what did you think I was, some kind of unicorn?" Shadow Wolf deadpanned.

"What's next?" Courtney replied. "You're a demon too?"

Shadow Wolf merely grinned in response.

"I don't like that face." Courtney groaned.

"Well, get used to it," Shadow Wolf scoffed. "Little Miss Crazy-In-Training."

Up in the sky, soon enough, the clouds moved away from the full moon. Shadow Wolf grinned as she was looking at the full moon.

"Oh, no." Courtney looked worried because she knew that meant only one thing.

"Yes." Shadow Wolf said.

"Are you going to kill me?" Courtney asked. "You're a superhero, you shouldn't kill me!"

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill you... Yet." Shadow Wolf said.

"What?!" Courtney cried.

Shadow Wolf just laughed and walked away. "Kidding."

"You better be..." Courtney said before shivering a slight chill down her spine.

"Or am I?" Shadow Wolf smirked again.

"Knock it off!" Courtney complained. "I could be big and bad too like you if I was a brute."

"Well, you're not, so there." Shadow Wolf replied.

Courtney glared slightly.

"Don't look at me like that," Shadow Wolf huffed. "I could've let you die, but I saved your ass, you could at least be thankful."

"Well, thank you for saving my life." Courtney soon said.

"Don't mention it." Shadow Wolf muttered again.


"Like, isn't someone supposed to say 'Holy Something' right about now?" Shaggy asked, referencing Robin in the 1960's Batman series.

"Uh... Holy, we're surrounded by Bat Villains, Batman!" Velma tried out.

"Not quite..." Daphne told her. "Try... 'Holy Custer's Last Stand, Batman'!"

"How are you so good at this?" Velma deadpanned.

"So, what do we do now?!" Courtney asked.

"This! NOW!" Fred called out before they suddenly all dropped smoke bombs.

Some of them then flew up while the others used their grappling hooks. The Bat villains were all meshed together like a giant red blob before becoming The Crimson Cloak again.

"Have a taste of the Bat Dehydrator!" Fred smirked before using the nozzle against The Crimson Cloak as they were all up on the rafters.

The Crimson Cloak was soon shrinking down and then turned into dust.

"We did it!" Trent cheered.

"He's like Plasmus." Shadow Wolf muttered, based on the villains Raven told her about besides the H.I.V.E. Academy.


The cops and the adult heroes then arrived at the scene, cleaning up the dust that was The Crimson Cloak.

"There we go, good job, guys, make sure you get every grain." Bullock told the others.

"Looks like we missed the party." Plastic Man said.

"We all did," Question said as he dusted himself clean. "Took me a while to dig myself out from under all that rubble."

A man in a hazmat suit soon came to the others with the contents of The Crimson Cloak.

"Now for the unmasking," Fred said firmly. "Only, there's no mask to pull off this time."

"Allow me for I know who The Crimson Cloak really is," Shadow Wolf replied before she put a drop of water to reveal the villain. "The Crimson Cloak is actually... Clayface."

"His real name is Basil Karlo." Jayna added.

"An actor who transformed into living clay and can mold himself into anything." Brianna added.

"Or anyone." Kala concluded.

"That's why my telepathy didn't pick him up," Martian Manhunter muttered. "But for what motive?"

"I picked up a corrosive bacteria strain, my body was breaking down," Clayface revealed. "Getting harder to maintain my shape; it was easier to split into several parts."

"Been there, done that." Martian Manhunter and Plastic Man muttered in unison.

"I'm sure Elastigirl could relate too." Kala commented.

"But how could a teleportation machine help?" Black Canary asked.

"I was offered a cure just another acting role, I guess all I had to do was help them by stealing the isotopes and framing you kids." Clayface replied.

"Help who?" Bullock demanded.

"The real culprits behind this entire plot: The Riddler and his new partner, The Mad Libber." Batman replied.

"The Riddler and The Mad Libber?!" The others asked Batman out of surprise.

"Once they had the machine, they would hand over a cure," Clayface replied. "I suppose they were just acting too."

"All right, guess you kids ain't guilty of anything," Bullock snarled. "'Cept maybe bad taste in fashions."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sunshine Detective Valiant." Shadow Wolf muttered as Bullock soon went to take Clayface away.

Captain Hero soon suddenly came in.

"I figured you'd come over..." Brianna rolled her green eyes. "Action Girl's not here."

"I know, but I heard the Mad Libber was around here," Captain Hero replied. "I thought I could help since he's my arch nemesis!"

"How did you even know that he's escaped from Arkham Asylum?" Shadow Wolf deadpanned.

"I've been following you guys the entire time." Captain Hero smirked.

"Of course you have..." Arceus deadpanned.

"Well, hello there, beautiful, what's your name?" Captain Hero greeted.

"Kala of the Volcano Twins," Kala replied. "It's very nice to meet you."

"She's taken," Shadow Wolf scolded Captain Hero. "By me. No, you can't touch her or anything like that."

"Well, you sound familiar." Captain Hero muttered.

"Because this always happens whenever someone sees Kala that it's a tired cliche." Shadow Wolf rolled her eyes.

"He's just being polite." Kala defended Captain Hero.

"Yeah, right." Shadow Wolf scoffed.

"Okay, let's get this ball of mud back to Blackgate." Bullock demanded about Clayface.

"I almost feel sorry for him." Courtney frowned.

"I do too." Daphne admitted.

"He'll be fully rehydrated once he's securely behind bars." Batman told them.


"Now see here, old chap," Detective Chimp told him. "How could Riddler and Mad Libber cleverly orchestrate bits of him from Arkham when The Mad Libber usually has letters to Captain Hero and other superheroes with phallic undertones?"

"Because both of them were never at Arkham." Batman replied.

"Come again?" Zan replied.

"Jinkies!" Velma gasped.

"Wow!" Fred replied before looking lost. "...I don't understand."

"Outrageous!" Aquaman gasped.

"Okay, I'm completely confused." Black Canary muttered.

"Oh, no!" Jayna cried out.

"This is bad." Brianna frowned.

"Holy, Arkham, Batman!" Paulina cried out.

"Zoinks." Martian Manhunter said with a smirk before Shaggy gave him a look for stealing his catchphrase.

Martian Manhunter simply smirked to Shaggy for stealing his catchphrase.

"Batman to Arkham." Batman said as he brought out a cellular phone.

"Arkham here, Batman." A security guard answered the call.

Check inmates in Cell DC-140." Batman told him.

The security guard typed into his computer with a shrug. "The Riddler and The Mad Libber are still in their cell."

"Check again." Batman told him.


The security guard brought out the keys before going to check the cell in person and poked his night stick at the Riddler and The Mad Libber only for them both to dissolve into dust. "What?! Arkham to Batman, it's not the Riddler or the Mad Libber, it's-"


"A couple Clayface decoys." Batman sneered before hanging up.

"Then... Where are they?" Daphne asked.

"Closer than you think." Batman said before he grabbed the Question while Shadow Wolf grabbed Captain Hero.

"What are you doing with my dad?!" Brianna cried out.

"I believe you kids are owed a true unmasking." Batman replied.

"But that's my dad!" Brianna cried out.

"I'm afraid it's not..." Batman replied before removing the masks to show The Riddler and the Mad Libber.

"THE RIDDLER AND THE MAD LIBBER?!" The others asked.

"Okay, now this is getting redundant." Plastic Man commented.

"Impressive," Black Canary replied. "How long were they posing as The Question and Captain Hero?"

"For the Question, ever since our fight at the bank." Batman narrowed his eyes.

"And as for the Captain Hero, his scent was funky almost like he wasn't him, then I saw a jet pack underneath the cape to make it look like he was flying in the air." Shadow Wolf added.

"So Clayface pretended to be The Riddler and Mad Libber." Fred said.

"Giving both of them to ambush The Question and Captain Hero." Daphne added.

"A perfect shell game!" Velma crossed her arms.

"Blazes!" Detective Chimp gasped. "How did you suss that out, good man?"

"I didn't, I was too distracted by the Crimson Cloak, and my own sense of failure," Batman replied. "It was Aquaman's keen observational skill that noticed Question's changed demeanor."

"What the what? Oh, right, of course," Aquaman asked before laughing. "Yes, old chum, don't mention it; we detectives have to stick together."

"Like, it feels weird that we didn't solve the crime or do the wrap-up even." Shaggy commented.

"Yeah, maybe you were right to begin with, Batman," Fred sulked. "We aren't ready for the Big Leagues."

"Don't say that, Fred!" Brianna told him. "Don't you remember when we were younger, and had that clubhouse as the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency when we were Cindy's age?"

"Actually, you've made more than earn your place on the Mystery Analysts Team." Shadow Wolf replied.

"She's right," Batman agreed. "I wouldn't have reopened or solved this case at all if it wouldn't for you meddling kids."

Velma smiled to that as she shook Batman's hand and Black Canary hugged Fred.

"Okay, you two," Batman said. "I think it's time to get back to your cell in Arkham."

"And to think we almost got away with-" The Riddler said before realizing something. "Oh, wait, we did get away with it."

"What are you talking about?" Kala asked.

"One last riddle," The Riddler smirked. "How is this moment like the end of a boxing match?"

"Because the gloves are off!" The Mad Libber answered.

The two villains broke their handcuffs and took off their disguises and ran away.

"After them!" Batman called out.

They soon ran into the building after The Riddler and The Mad Libber as they escaped.
