"The fuses have been lit by the paint stripper. When the charges blow these tunnels will collapse." the professor says before the fuses go off trapping the group.
"Too late. We're trapped!" alexis says in alarm.
"We'll have to go the other way." The professor says.
"Down?" Winsor asks in alarm.
"There's another exit that way." The professor says.
"Yeah and 8 million snakes." Winsor says.
"The cave snakes are real?" Alexis asks.
"Yeah and the bats. I don't lie everything." Winsor says.
"The only way any of us are getting out of here is if we all work together." Fred says.
"He's right. I know the lower caverns are bad but there's no other choice." The professor says.
"There's a time for talk and there's a time for action. Follow me." Shaggy says as everyone looks at him before following him to an area with a snake pit.
"Snakes. Oh I do not like snakes. Not as much as spiders but they're definitely not my favorite animal." Alexis says nervously.
"The snakes stay down there. We just have to find a way to get across." The professor says as bats fly past the group before Shaggy begins climbing up.
"Shaggy what are you doing?" Fred asks.
"Saving your butt Jones. Get used to it. Come on guys." Shaggy says as he begins making a path for the group using stalactites.
"I guess we have no choice. Let's go." Fred says as the group begins going across.
"The stalactites are sinking. We've hurry." The professor says as everyone jumps across but Alexis.
"Hold on Alexis! We'll get you out of there!" Fred shouts.
"Where am I gonna go!? Just hurry!" Alexis says nervously as she sees snakes before Shaggy makes a stalactite fall in front of her.
"Now's your chance Alexis." Daphne says before Alexis jumps and lands on the edge while struggling to get a hold.
"Quick. Grab my hand. That was too close." Winsor says as he pulls Alexis up before she looks at him and walks off.
*Timeskip*
"Okay yes I did try to get you to drop the investigation. But I do like you. a lot." Winsor says as Alexis looks at him.
"I like you as well but I wish you didn't make that announcement when we were in a life or death situation." Alexis says coldly.
"Up there. It's moonlight. That's the exit." The professor says as the group sees a hole with light over a river of water.
"All right who has a belt? Strip it off. I'm gonna use them to swing across to there. From there I can jump to there. Then I can climb up and out... find some rope, lower it down and haul you bums out. Done." Shaggy says.
"What was that?" Alexis asks hearing a noise.
"I think another section of the caverns collapsed. This whole area is becoming unstable. Shaggy you'd better hurry." The professor says as everyone looks at Shaggy.
"I was born hurried." Shaggy says.
"Is that part of the brave thing where you say weird stuff that sounds like movie lines?" Fred asks.
"Yes. Yes, it is, big guy." Shaggy says as he begins using the belts to get across.
"Not bad." Fred says.
"Like oh no. I'm me again." Shaggy says fearfully as Alexis realizes that is Shaggy's keyword.
"That's the keyword. Bad." Alexis says as everyone keeps saying bad causing Shaggy to revert back to normal.
"Shaggy you okay there?" Fred asks.
"I can't do it. I'm supposed to jump to that ledge? Maybe when I was brave but now? No way." Shaggy says fearfully.
"If you don't do it we're all gonna die. No pressure." Fred says.
"Look how far it is Fred. I'm not gonna make it!" Shaggy shouts.
"We don't have much time. Shaggy you can do it. You made a jump further than that a few moments ago." Fred says.
"That's when I was the guy. You know the brave one." Shaggy says.
"I don't know much hypnosis Shaggy but I know one thing. It make you do things you couldn't do it. All that you did when you were brave that was you. It's you. You just have to let it out." Fred says before Shaggy reluctantly makes his way to the hole and goes through it.
*Timeskip*
"That the last one?" Tex asks as his group helps everyone out of the caverns.
"Yeah." Alexis says before the group begins rumbling.
"Everybody run!" The professor shouts as everyone runs seeing the ground collapse before seeing the evening sun reflecting on the crystal.
"Well now that's pretty." Tex says.
"Like it sure is Tex." Shaggy says.
