Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Miyumi and Mei Ling ended up right in the bad Crystal Cove.
"Jeepers" Daphne got up "Where are we?"
Shaggy looked around "Doesn't this place seem familiar?"
"Reah." Scooby nodded. "Looks familiar."
Just then, Mei Ling saw the same sign that Fred and Velma saw when they arrived.
"Guys look at this" she told the others.
Scooby and the girls walked over to the sign.
Miyumi read it "Welcome to Crystal Cove! The Most Hauntedest Place on Earth"
"Crystal Cove?!" Daphne exclaimed. "No wonder this place looks familiar."
"Like, but I thought we've reset the timeline after defeating the Evil Entity." Shaggy said. "Unless..."
He paused when a horrible thought came to his mind.
"This is the Crystal Cove that Pericles took over!" Daphne finished Shaggy's sentence.
"What's going on, Daphne?" Mei Ling asked Daphne.
Shaggy, Scooby and Daphne glanced at each other.
"Like, looks like we've got another long story to tell them, guys." Shaggy remarked. "But first, we have to find a good, safe place to hide before discussing this."
Meanwhile, back in Doomsville, the heroes continued on with their search for another spot to spend the night at.
Jonny sighed "Where are we gonna find a place to stay for the night...or day? I don't know! I can't tell what time of day it is!"
"Well we need to find somewhere where more bad guys won't find us" Googie pointed out "And the evil versions of Mystery Inc. will certainly find us in the woods if we go back to the woods"
During this time, Tom and Jerry looked outside the window.
At that moment, Jerry spotted an abandoned warehouse in the docklands nearby, a few yards away.
Seeing what Jerry had saw, Tom whistled and gaining everyone's attention.
"What is it Tom?" April asked the cat.
Tom pointed to the dock lands where he was pointing. Everybody walked over to him and saw the warehouse.
"Zowie" said Taffy "There's a warehouse over there! We could probably take refuge in there!"
Tom nodded his head.
"What a sweet kitty cat" Bubbles hugged Tom.
Boo rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Come on" said Jade "Before anybody finds us!"
Everybody walked into the warehouse.
"Egads" said Mudsy "Are you guys sure this is going to help us?"
"I don't know" said Scrappy "But it's the best place we can go to till the heat dies down"
Meanwhile, the evil Mystery Inc escaped out of the water and walked back to their hideout.
"I can't believe that pathetic apparition made fools out of us!" Evil Fred told his allies "Especially me!"
"We are going to get rid of those creeps" Evil Daphne snarled "I don't lose. There's only one person who can kill those freaks!"
"Yeah" Evil Shaggy nodded. "Let's go find the master."
The Evil Mystery Inc. stepped through a magic mirror, and ended up in a command room, where a mysterious figure was sitting on a throne.
"Master" said Evil Scooby "Please accept our presence"
"What do you want?" the figure glared at them with his glowing purple eyes.
"Strangers have entered our territory" Evil Daphne informed him "And we are sorry but...we failed!"
"You failed?!" the dark figure roared "Howdare you? I don't tolerate failure! You worthless, pathetic excuses for henchmen!"
"We are sorry master" Evil Velma kneeled "But we would like you to know that the one who defeated us greatly resembled you"
"Resembled me, huh?" The figure asked as he strokes his cat gently.
"Yes sir" said Evil Velma "He greatly resembles you"
"Like, and not only that, master." Evil Shaggy added. "That group that trespassed on our territory quite resembled some of our other colleagues here, like the mad scientist Dr. Quest, the Falcon Kid, Tim Cat and Jeffery Mouse."
"I see" said the dark figure "You five will round up the rest of the troops. We bring down our doppelgängers as soon as we are all rounded up"
"On it, master" Evil Daphne bowed before the dark master.
"Oh and minons" said the dark figure "Leave my counterpart...to me. If I'm going to take down anyone, it's anyone who dares to steal my looks! I'm going to show that idiot what happens when he infiltrates the realm of me...the Dark Phantom!"
"Yes, master." Evil Shaggy bowed. "We'll sure teach those impostors a lesson they'll never forget!"
Meanwhile, in the good Crystal Cove, Alan, Tom, Suzie and Anne are playing a game of beach volleyball.
"Looks like mama's gonna knock you out boys!" Anne hit the volleyball.
"Oh yeah?" Alan hit the ball "Think again sis!"
Alan spiked the ball and it came right towards Suzie, who then missed.
"Alright!" Alan high tenned Tom "That's how we roll!"
"We're neck to neck now" Tom pointed out "We need just one point to win! We're already nine to nine"
"Then serve up brain-o" Anne said "Less talking more spiking!"
Tom threw the ball right into the air and spiked it right towards his oldest sister.
"Only got one shot at this" she said in her thoughts.
In slow motion, Suzie jumped up into the air and spiked the ball so hard, that both Tom and Alan failed to hit it.
"Nuts!" Tom remarked as he and Alan failed to hit the ball back.
"Oh yeah" Anne started dancing "We won! Power to the women my sister!"
Suzie high fived Anne "Uh huh! I know that's right!"
The girls started doing a victory dance "We did it! We're bad! Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh!"
"Looks like you boys got served!" Anne gloated.
"Okay, okay" said Alan "You don't have to rub it in!"
"Come on, let's take a dip in the water" Suzie said.
"Yeah" Tom agreed. "I'm sweating bad from the heat."
"Come on guys" said Suzie "Let's get in! Last one in is buying lunch!"
The middle Chan kids ran into the water as fast as they could. Alan was the last one in! Looks like he's buying.
"Oh shut up" Alan told the narrator.
But I digress. Meanwhile, the youngest Chan kids were still stuck on where they could possibly find the others.
"How are we gonna find the others?" Scooter asked Flip "Any suggestions chief?"
"Sorry bro" Flip said "I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place"
"I have an idea" said Cavey Jr "I could fly up there and see where the others are!"
"Great idea Cavey Jr" said Mimi go fly up there.
"Right!" Cavey Jr flew right into the air "Now let's see where the others could be"
Cavey Jr took out some binoculars from inside his fur and searched for the rest of the Chan Clan. Back down, Flim Flam was still sad about what had happened.
"I can't believe my other relatives kicked me out" he sadly said "I'm one of them. They can't just be cruel to another Blake"
Nancy stroked his hair to comfort him, not sure what to say.
"If I'm not a Blake, what am I?" Flim Flam asked "I guess I'm nothing, and I guess I'm just not meant to have a family or be loved by anyone"
"Well, you still got the Chans for support, Flim Flam" Flip said.
"We'll always be here for you" Mimi put her hand on his shoulder "And we all love you"
"Especially me" Nancy added.
Flim Flam nodded as he looked towards Nancy.
Meanwhile, over at the older Chan siblings, Marcie and Jessica, the group were touring the museum.
"Wow" said Henry "Look at all this history!"
"I can't believe Crystal Cove actually has this many legends" Jessica added.
"It sure has." Marcie nodded. "A long history with many legends."
"Wow" said Henry "Many legends"
"Which one is your favorite?" Jessica asked "And what's it about?"
"Hmmm..." Marcie remarked as she looked through the displays. "Let me see..."
While Marcie looked through the displays, Stanley had something on his mind.
"Marcie can I ask you something?" Stanley asked her.
"Sure" Marcie said "Go ahead!"
"How can you not hold a grudge against Velma?" Stanley asked "Didn't they kick you out and leave you friendless?"
"Yes" Marcie sadly said "I wish I could forget"
"But somehow you don't seem to be at all mad at them for it" Stanley continued "I mean, after what happened a couple of days ago before they went back to their world, I was certain you would never talk to them. Why would you forgive them after what they did to you?"
"Because Velma's not really a bad person" Marcie explained "She's the first friend I've ever had and we made a wonderful team together. I couldn't turn my back on her, since she really didn't want me to leave the gang"
Stanley nodded understandingly. "Even after what she did to you, you two still remained friends."
"Yeah" said Henry "It's just like with me and Stanley. Now he may be a pain in the neck, he is not exactly the coolest guy around and his jokes are the worst, but Stanley's always been there for me when I needed him the most, and he is very trustworthy and my little brother"
"And he may be a bit of a meathead, but Henry's still my best friend and is always there for me" Stanley smiled at his brother.
Marcie nodded understandingly.
"Wow" Jessica smiled "You guys must be close"
"Yeah" Stanley smiled "We sure are, and it's not just because we are blood, it's because we are well...best friends"
"I guess I can now see why you are willing to forgive Velma, Marcie" Jessica smiled at Marcie.
"Yeah" Marcie said "I hope she's okay, wherever she is"
Well, what Marcie didn't know was that her friend is in an alternate, darker version of the very town she's living in and has even discovered her body in that alternate version of Crystal Cove.
Back in that alternate version, Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne finished explaining the situation to the girls.
"So let me get this straight," said Mei Ling "You guys were trying to fight an evil sadistic parrot bent on taking over the world with the help of an evil entity and all your friends are now dead in this world"
"Yep" said Daphne.
"Like, I've got a hunch that Fred and Velma may be in trouble if this is where they are." Shaggy said.
It was then that the four saw Scooby sniffing around and catching something of interest.
"Scooby, you found something?" Miyumi asked.
"Reah!" Scooby nodded. "I've got Fred and Velma's scents!"
"Freddie and Velma?" Daphne asked. "They must be here before."
"Zoinks!" Shaggy remarked. "We'd better find them and fast!"
"Quick follow me" Scooby sniffed the ground.
The others followed him. They were going to find Fred and Velma, but would they find them in time. At that same time, some dark figure in the tree was stalking them.
Author's Note:
ZOINKS! Looks like our main characters are going to face some real deadly foes, led by none other than Mudsy's dark and evil counterpart, the Dark Phantom, who's bound on taking Mudsy down. They say you can't kill a ghost, but you can vanquish him from existence (don't know how that's different). But I digress, this Dark Phantom seems to be a truly deadly foe, and he could have some dark, powerful supernatural abilities, that could take down any foe, including another ghost. Now, our heroes are going to have to fight against their evil counterparts, but Mudsy's evil twin is probably going to be the real enemy in this picture! The Funky Phantom will be facing off the Dark Phantom in this story, pretty soon. If this were animated, I'd use Peter Dinklage as the Dark Phantom.
As for Flim-Flam, he is still depressed about not having a family. Not only has he spent his whole life on his own, been abandoned by his adoptive mother and possibly might never see Scrappy and Googie again...but he's been disowned by the other Blakes (well, one of them at least). What's his one true place? What is he? And who does he belong with? Is Flim-Flam really not meant to be loved and cared about?
As for our supporting cast (Mystery Inc), they've ended up in the evil Crystal Cove, where Pericles is about to kill Fred and Velma! Will Scooby, Shaggy and the girls save them in time or will they be crushed to death? Stay tuned!
