Finally, Scooby-Doo and our heroes had made it to their destination, Olympus. It was real war between Heaven and Hell.
"Soon we shall meet with my father, Zeus. Be thou on thy best behavior," Luvbi said bitter sweetly.
"So…Zeus is your father?" Raven asked.
"Thou art correct. Zeus is my father and Hera, the Godess Women and Marriage is my mother." Luvbi said.
"I think you took after your old man." Fred remarked.
"Pray, listen…" Luvbi trailed, her voice suddenly becoming soft compared to the harsh stubbornness it was usually coated with. "I fell ill once, and my father never left my bedside…they hath an overprotective side, verily, and I grow annoyed of it at times. But mayhap it is mine own fault for being so cute. They cannot help it!"
Tippi trailed while sweat dropping. "In any case, perhaps we'd better go meet this Zeus character."
"Good luck with that…" Raven trailed. "Olympus is slowly being turned to ruin, and I doubt that we'll be able to reach Zeus in the state that its in."
"And what dost maketh you say such things?" Luvbi demanded to know.
"I think it'd be better if you saw for yourself." Raven pointed out.
There were skeletons breathing fire, torturing all the angels and mythical creatures in the Godly world. They had to stop them, defeat Hades, and get the Pure Heart. They didn't want to risk having another world destroyed.
"Jinkies!" Velma added.
"Jeepers!" Daphne exclaimed "This place really is in danger!"
"Like dudes" Shaggy said "That Hades guy is a messed up dude."
Raven leading the way forward with Scooby naturally at the front as well. They had a Zeus to see and a Hades and a monster to defeat. On the way, Velma had some things to tell Raven, she really liked her and wanted to tell her something.
"Say Raven..." Velma told her "You kinda remind of this girl we met at a summer camp."
"Really?" Raven asked.
"You even sound a bit like her." Velma pointed out "She really liked me. And you're like an older version of her."
"Thanks!" Raven smiled.
Finally, the gang had made it to Zeus' castle. It was under attack! Just then, someone appeared before them, it was Aphrodite, the Godess of Love.
"The Legendary Heroes!" Aphrodite exclaimed "Thank goodness you've arrived!"
"Aphrodite!" Madelyn exclaimed "The Goddess of Love!"
"I'll say!" Scooby, Scrappy, Shaggy, and Fred's jaws dropped.
"Get your tounge off the floor!" Daphne pulled Fred's ear and bopped her head back and forth.
"You belong to me Shaggy! Not a Goddess!" Madelyn hugged Shaggy and kissed his cheek multiple times as Shaggy tried to resist.
Jeannie twirled her ponytail and dragged Scooby to her. "You stay away from her!" She demanded.
"Um Rokay?" Scooby asked.
As everyone stood smacked surprised, Luvbi caught sight of her father and felt her eyes grow big.
"Oh…no!" she rushed to Zeus' side, who was looking awfully weak, part of him hanging limp. "Father! Father! Art thou all right?"
"Luvbi…" Zeus spoke coarsely. "You…should not…have come. Flee…from here…"
"Brooo ha ha ha…a touching scene, to be sure…" a strange voice interrupted, a sound so cold that it could send chills up anyone's spine!
Scooby and the gang slowly approached the beast positioned in the back of the room next to Hades, a skinny blue dragon with wheels for legs and a thin curly black tail. He let out an icy roar, and several people started to shiver.
"Well if it isn't the heroes of the Light Prognosticous!" Hades smugly said.
"Lemme guess…you're the big bad boss of all those little Underworld hoodlums that're attacking Olympus, right?" Jeannie asked, unimpressed.
"That's the monster that escaped The Underworld!" Daphne yelled.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, I assure you. My name is Bonechill. I am something of an evil celebrity in certain circles of The Underworld." The monster boasted.
"Isn't it great?" Hades asked "He and I make a great team."
"That may be, but my father shall never give you the Pure Heart! So givest up!" Luvbi exclaimed boldly.
Hades bellowed with a chilling, amused laugh. "Oh, you dear, ignorant child, you really don't know a thing, do you?"
"How charming." Bonechill added.
Luvbi went from angry to surprised. "Wh-What dost thou mean?!"
Bonechill gained a devilish look. "I speak of the Purity Heart…and I speak of you, Luvbi…IT IS YOU!"
"What…sayest thou?" Luvbi squawked. Everyone couldn't get any words out- talk about totally unexpected! Bonechill and Hades just laughed again.
"The Pure Heart was hidden ingeniously to keep it away from evil sorts like me…" Bonechill began to explain. "Zeus…changed the Pure Heart into an angel…that he called his own daughter!"
"HUH?!" Marcie exclaimed. "I might not know the whole story, but something about that seems…implausible!"
Raven whirled around to Zeus with her jaw dropped. "Your gremlin of a daughter is the final Pure Heart?! Even though I'm basically the spawn of a galactic demon, but I'm shocked!"
Everyone then started shouting shocked exclamations as well.
"Jinkies!" Velma yelled.
"Jeepers!" Daphne added.
"That brat was a mystical object that is the last hope to save the universe?!" Fred asked.
"Evil little Luvbi is a piece of the Purity Heart?!" Scrappy asked.
"What a plot twist!" Scooby broke the fourth wall.
"We've had it the whole time?" Marcie asked.
"Ha ha…" Luvbi chuckled nervously, ignoring the shouts of the confused team. "Th-that is just silly…my mother and father…"
Hades barked out with another evil cackle. "Oh, that is just priceless! You really think Zeus pays an ounce of attention to you out of love?"
"How pathetic!" Bonechill added.
"Th-that's…No…Thou liest!" Luvbi expression quickly changed to disappointed. "Father! Sayest something!"
Zeus was still trying to pull himself together from the beating he endured. "L-Lu…v…bi…unngh…"
"Broooo ha ha…the old fool can weigh the sins of others, but not his own…" Bonechill gloated.
"It cannot…be…" Luvbi whispered.
"Luvbi, we can talk later…" Tippi began. "Right now, just take Grambi to safety…"
Luvbi did nothing, so Tippi added an abrupt "QUICKLY!"
As Luvbi took Saway, the group struck battle stances facing Bonechill.
"Many thanks for delivering the Pure Heart. Once I deal with you, none can stop me! I shall be INVINCIBLE!" Hades yelled "I am going to be king of the Gods!"
"And there will be nothing you can do to stop us!" Bonechill evilly laughed.
The gang engaged in a big battle between the snake-like monster and the Scooby Doo Gang. Bonechill kept spewing ice out of his mouth, trying to freeze our heroes in their tracks. Scooby tried to blast the monster with thinner but, it didn't work. Scrappy's hammer didn't do well either. Bonechill however, had succeeded in freezing Shaggy and Marcie. Jeannie tried using her magic, but it was too weak.
"Azarath Metrion...ZINTHOS!" Raven used her magic to blast Bonechill and it did serious damage to the monster.
Daphne sprung into the air, he head crashing into Bonechill's jaw, she did a backflip before he landed, watching as Bonechill howled out on pain from being completely scaleless. The team shared a high five (and one four) while Bonechill bellowed, "BRRARGH! How…impossible…how could you puny worms…destroy…a master…of the cold dark?!"
"Next time you want to take over heaven, hit a gym!" shouted Fred.
Bonechill shattered into a ton of pieces, each and everyone one of them going right back down to where they came from, with Hades being sent back to the Underworld, where he belongs. Scrappy bashed Marcie's icy prison with his hammer and she was free, though awfully cold and discombobulated.
"I shouldn't have come in here…" she trailed through chattering teeth. "That monster cornered me instantly and f-froze me…"
"The good news is, we're all finally back together now," Velma sighed, wrapping Marcie in a hug and kissing her nose and forehead.
"L-l-like. T-t-that is h-h-how a f-f-f-frozen TV dinner feels." Shaggy shivered.
"Don't worry Shaggy my darling, I'll warm you up!" Madelyn hugged Shaggy.
"Now all that's left to do here is get the Pure Heart…" Daphne trailed, glancing at the door.
An upset Luvbi and worn-out Zeus came straddling in, Zeus feebly trying to thank the heroes.
"Thou…hast done a fine job…Thou hast saved our realm…" he whimpered.
"Father...the words of that thing…were lies, yea?" Luvbi asked "Thou and Mother art my parents?"
Zeus trembled as he tried to explain, the group watching intently because they wanted to know just as much as Luvbi did. "Well…Luvbi…"
"LUVBI!" Hera boomed as she burst through the doors, running over to her "daughter" and husband.
"Mother!" Luvbi squeaked.
"Are you well?" Hera asked.
"Speakest to me now, Mother. Father and thee…art thou verily my parents?" Luvbi got tears in her eyes.
Hera practically choked on her words. "Wait a minute, why do you…WHAAAAT! ?"
"Prithee, Mother. Speakest the truth to me." Tears fell out of Luvbi's eyes.
Hera went from shocked to solemn, turning away from everyone. "Luvbi…you are not really our child."
"It's true." Velma said "The truth does hurt."
"…So it is… true…" Luvbi trembled. Hera turned back to Luvbi, gaining the strength needed to face her.
"The Pure Heart was always in danger of falling into the hands of evil, darling. So Zeus and I decided to transform it into a shape that no one would suspect…"
Luvbi stared at the ground. "And that was…me?"
A sudden flash lit up the place, making everyone but Zeus and Hera jump. All eyes fell on Luvbi, however, as the faint image of a Pure Heart fought to dominate her Nimbi form. Now Hera and Zeus were shocked as well.
"Jinkies!" Velma exclaimed.
"What's going on?" Raven asked.
"What…was that? !" Hera exclaimed.
"The Pure Heart is struggling against it's angel form…it's seeking its true form. It senses somebody nearby worthy of possessing it. It must be us." Jeannie deduced.
"So, uh, ha ha…" Luvbi chuckled unevenly, sneaking a glance at Scrappy. "Thou sayest I am meant to be with him…He verily is…my prince? This doth STINK! He is completely wrong for me!"
"Cruel hearted irony!" Scrappy cried.
"Ruh huh!" Scooby nodded his head.
Zeus moved to Heside as Luvbi inched closer to the teams. "Fine. I shall return to my Pure Heart form…and I shall go with Mario and his friends."
"Are you sure?" Zeus asked, head hung low. "If you change back into the Pure Heart, the angel known as Luvbi…will cease to exist."
Daphne clamped a hand over her mouth to conceal her gasp.
"Nay, perhaps I already have…I remember being the Pure Heart now, in truth. And the world would end if I did not do it, is this not so? So I should just…" Luvbi's tone suddenly changed. "Wait, why do I explain myself to thee? ! Thou art not my real father, so QUIET!"
"Wh-What? !" Zeus finally managed to gasp out.
"To think of all the times thou hast scolded me! Thou didst KNOW I was not long for this world! Why didst thou not let me have fun?" Luvbi protested "Nay! Instead, I suffered an angry fake father and a nagging fake mother! I had no life! How dost thou plan to make that up to me?!"
"I…don't know who they are…" Marcie trailed, still being held up by Velma. "But…it's still…so upsetting…"
"I know," Madelyn agreed, trying to hide the fact tears were welling up at the corners of her eyes.
"Luvbi!" Hace said sternly, but that was all. Zeus, however, got into a full blown-out debate with Luvbi.
"Say what you want about me, but don't talk to your mother that way! Maybe if you're changed back to a Purity Heart, you're sass will go away?" Zeus asked.
"Oh, giveth me a break! I must do it whether thou wish or not. It shall be a RELIEF!" Luvbi remarked.
"You selfish brat!" Zeus scolded "Don't you remember when?"
"I scoff at thy lingering!" Luvbi shouted, contradictory to what she had said before. "Why dost thou not giveth me back the present I bought with my saved allowance!"
"Excuse me missy!" Zeus yelled "Who GAVE you that allowance?! And I didn't lie to get the money too! I didn't pretend to buy school books!"
"How dost thou DARE to lecture on lying!" Luvbi spat back. She turned away, and the group noticed that she didn't seem angry anymore. "And why dost thou think I lied? ! I thought that Mother and thee…I thought…thou wouldst…be happy…"
Zeus said nothing. Luvbi continued.
"The pair of thee…thou art not real parents…I…I hate thee…" She whispered.
"I can't take it anymore!" Scrappy bawled, sobbing on the ground. Scooby lightly patted his head.
"…that's enough, Luvbi," Hace spoke up, after being so silent for the longest time. "It is true that we created you as a means of protecting the Pure Heart…but Zeus and I came to love you as a true daughter. We wanted to be with you for all time, to protect you. You became a part of us. Perhaps we were wrong to create you…and if we only caused pain, then we apologize."
"Oh, Mother…" Luvbi sighed, turned back to Jaydes. "Thou needst not apologize…My dear Mother…thank thee…"
A flash of the Pure Heart emerged again, and Luvbi's frown grew even deeper if that was possible.
"The Pure Heart wants to retain its original form…" Hace said.
"Luvbi…" whimpered Zeus helplessly.
"Tippi," Luvbi began, glancing at the rainbow butterfly. She gave a small smile, which was something the group rarely saw her do. "Takest good care of the real me. And…savest the worlds, yea? Such is my final wish, so if thou dost not do it, thou art most unkind!"
"I understand…" Tippi trailed.
Luvbi was a bit more cheerful now, facing Zeus and Hace once again. "Mother…Father…Fare the well…"
"Luvbi…" Zeus moaned again.
"Oh, my darling…" sighed Hace.
"I am…sorry for lying earlier…" her voice faltered, but her expression did not. "Because in truth…I…I love thee… both…"
Luvbi closed her eyes as the Pure Heart fought the break free, Luvbi fading in and out from her angel form and her heart form. With a final flash, she stayed as a Pure Heart
Luvbi was gone.
"Luvbi…" now it was Hace's turn to sigh her name. Zeus lifted his head up to address the heroes, attempting to hide the anguish obvious on his face.
"Now, ye prophesized ones…Destined heroes…Takest our dear daughter…Takest the Pure Heart." Zeus handed the heart to our heroes.
"Rokay, Zeus!" Scooby exclaimed.
"And promise that you will save the universe from the darkness!" Zeus let his head down "Let no one else in the universe feel this sadness!"
"We will Zeus." Velma nodded her head.
The white Pure Heart lifted into the air, placing itself into Scooby's possession. The Pixls danced, but sadly, there wasn't much joy in obtaining this Pure Heart…
"We got the last Pure Heart…" everyone trailed solemnly.
With already heavy hearts, the heroes' next destination wasn't going to lift their spirits…
After all, it was finally time to go after Count Bleck…
"Heroes…my daughter wanted thee to save all worlds. 'Twas her final wish." Zeus spoke slowly through his tears as the brave angels and Gods cleaned up Olympus. Draped in sadness, Hace walked slowly into her chambers in temple. Scooby-Doo, his friends, and the seventh Pure Heart were all that remained…
This Pure Heart had come at a high price. Let us hope it was all worthwhile.
Author's Note:
It's bittersweet but now they have the last Pure Heart! Now, they must get to Count Bleck's caslte and save the world! But can they get there in time? And why does Tippi look familiar to Jeannie? Stay tuned and find out! Keep your fingers crossed.
