Chapter 3: The Chase
Soon, Belle and Daphne were the only ones still awake while everyone else slept in the back. Belle was still looking through The Grand Tome and found it very strange and astonishing.
"That book tells many things about the 13 ghosts and about the Chest of Demons." Belle said.
"Like what?"
"Like, the rules for the chest. 1: The chest can only be opened by the living. 2: The 13 ghosts can only be recaptured by the ones who set them free."
"What about the 13th ghost?"
"Well, I found that the 13th ghost's name is Asmodeus, King of Demons and the most powerful of all evil spirits."
"Well, at least we know who we're up against."
"Look, there's the castle. We're almost there."
As they drew closer to the castle, a car was getting closer toward them.
"What the-?"
"What is it, mom?" Belle asked as she turned to see a car in flames following them. "Mom, why is there a car in flames following us?"
"Hang on, everyone!" Daphne said as she stepped on the gas pedal and drove away from the car very fast. Everyone in the back woke up in shock about what was going on.
"What's going on, Ms. Blake?" Billy asked still shooken up from the wild car ride
"Me and Belle thought we saw a car in flames following us. But I guess-"
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared from out of nowhere and they all looked to see a demon car in flames following them.
"Here we go again." Daphne stepped on the gas pedal again hoping to escape the demon car. Shaggy and Scooby both coward behind the driver's seat.
"Shaggy, Scooby, pull it together and deploy countermeasures."
"What do you mean by countermeasures?"
Belle turned around to see Shaggy and Scooby right in front of a computer inside the van.
"Here goes nothing." Shaggy said pressing the button and oil plunged from the bottom of the van and onto the road.
"It shoots oil slicks?!"
The demon car saw the oil and went around the oil. Scooby then pressed another button which contained a smokescreen. Smoke covered the demon car which made it fall behind.
"It has a smokescreen?! This is so cool." Rod said as he turned to see if the demon car was following them anymore. Suddenly, the demon car came back but in the other direction. Daphne braked hard and stopped right in front of the demon car's front bumper. Daphne puts the van in reverse and drives away from the demon car as fast as the van could go.
"Like, someone clearly doesn't want us on the road." Shaggy said.
Daphne had an idea. "Well, why didn't they say so." She said as drove off of the cliff and into the river below.
The demon car had succeeded his evil deed and drove away from the cliff. Suddenly, in the river, The Mystery Machine rose up from below on a rubber ducky raft.
"That was awesome!" Daphne said as she turned on the raft's jets and floated toward the castle. "This will be much faster anyway."
