Authors Note: I know it's been a bit since I last updated, but, I am back with another chapter. But, PLEASE, favorite, follow and review. Thank you. Now, lets get on with chapter 3!
Shaggy Rogers slowly woke up to see that he was in a totally different place! It looked like he was in a castle of some sort. But, he didn't know where."He's finally awake". He heard a voice say. Shaggy looked around the room, their was a book shelf on the left side of the room as well as a desk in front of it. When he looked straight ahead again, he saw two really tall ant like creatures standing in front of him! The ants were taller than your average human. They were also talking like one too. Full English. Shaggy started shaking like a leaf when he saw the figures. He never saw anything like it before.
"Aww, he's frightened" the one ant wearing a crown cooed."Like, I don't know who you guys are, or what you want from me. But, I'm getting out of here right now. With my friends and my dog. Scooby- Doo! Where are you!?" Shaggy called out to his best friend."Hold it, kid. You're not going anywhere and your friends, and your puppy dog is not here either. You're the only human here in the underworld" the ant wearing the crown told him. Shaggy's eyes widened."You may not remember who we are, but we know who you are… Norville Rogers" the other ant said."Like, what's going on? How do you know my real name?" the eighteen year old asked."Calm down, Norville" the ant without the crown gestured as he walked towards the teen.
"We kidnapped you… and I know you because I kidnapped you before. I practically raised you before. Until you were 4 and I gave you back to your parents".
"I don't believe you. I don't remember any of that" Shaggy said. The ant without the crown rolled his eyes."Of course you don't remember… you were only a baby". The ant without the crown brushed Shaggy's cheek with his finger and added,"And you still are one to me". He said with a grin.
"Like, who are you guys" Shaggy asked."I'm Ryant Carpenter. I'm like, a father figure to you since I raised you when you were a baby. This is your Uncle Rick. He is the king of this underworld" the ant without the crown explained.
"What do you want with me?" Shaggy added."I just want you" Ryant said."You're my boy. I have every right to have you back".
"Hey, Ryant. Come with me for a second" Rick said. Ryant obeyed the king and walked away from Shaggy."Hey, this might sound crazy, but, what if the kid stops the war" Rick suggested."What!? I'm not letting my kid go out in this mess. What if he gets killed? I can't go through that again" Ryant cried. Rick put a hand on Ryant's shoulder."Hey, you know that treasure belongs to us Those spiders on the other side snatched it from right under us. They had it for twenty one years! That's how long this war has been going on for. It's time to put it to an end! Now, lets have the kid stop this war". Ryant sighed.
"Well, okay. But, I'm getting my friends over for his protection".
The king and Ryant walked back over to Shaggy.
"Look kid" King Rick started."We need you to stop this war that has been going on since before you were born. This war has been going on for twenty one years! We're at war against these spiders. They're dangerous creatures that have stolen our treasure. Before they took it, we were the richest beings in the underworld! We had everything. Fame, Fortune and I was in charge of all the creatures in the underworld. You were the richest kid here! Now, these nasty spiders are taking everything. Even our food. So, we need you to get that treasure, so we have our power back! What do ya say, kiddo" the king cried out as he held his hand out for Shaggy. Shaggy shrugged and shook the kings hand in agreement.
"Like if I had much of a choice".
Back in the real world, it was the next day and the gang was on there way to school in the mystery machine."I just don't feel right going to school right now with Shaggy missing. We have to tell somebody, like his parents" Velma told the gang."Yeah, Fred. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Rogers our worried since they never heard from Shaggy and Scooby after they left yesterday" Daphne agreed. Scooby never went back to Shaggy's house. He never even gave Shaggy's parents a call! He slept at Fred's house last night. Fred sighed.
"I know, I know. We will right after school. I promise, we'll go over Shaggy's place and tell his parents. No excuse. I just hope where ever Shaggy is he is okay".
Authors Note: This might be a shorter chapter. But, I hope the treasure idea is fine. I am still here. I just wanted to get this chapter out there. Well, until next time. Thank you for reading. Next Chapter!
