Like I said before, this story will be at least 13 chapters long. Please enjoy. Also, please favorite, follow and review, thank you.

"Just one question, though. How are we going to escape anyways" the spider in the first jail cell asked. The ant nodded. Shaggy Rogers looked up at the ceiling and saw a vent. Water was dripping from it."Hey, like, theirs a vent in here on this ceiling. We can escape from there"."That's great, kiddo" the ant said. He held out his hand for Shaggy to shake."Name's Liam, by the way". Shaggy Shook the ants hand and said,"Nice to meet you too". The spider then added,"We still need the key to the jail cell though to actually get out of here".

"I'll find the keys and get you guys out of here" Shaggy said."Yes, Shaggy, go, get those keys" Liam encouraged. Shaggy pointed at Liam in agreement, then ran off. Liam then added,"Try not to get caught!". Shaggy ran into the first room of the castle. Candles were lit in the room. Shaggy walked up to the wall and saw keys hanging. Shaggy grabbed them and ran off again. Shaggy's running actually woke up Cyrus. Cyrus's eyes opened quickly.

"What? What?" He said, groggily. He heard Shaggy's foot steps echoing in the room perfectly, that he snapped out of his sleepy state and growled."Oh, that child!". Cyrus started to head out of his bed room. Back in the dungeon Shaggy held up the keys he found. The prisoners cheered."Quick, Let us out" Liam said. Shaggy unlocked the cell that Liam is in. Then, he opened up the other cells, one by one. After everyone was left out of their cells, they all hugged Shaggy at the same time.

"Like, choking, can't breath" the 18 year old gasped for air. The prisoners let go of Shaggy. Shaggy stopped to catch his breath."We have to get up that vent" Liam said."I'll help us out' the spider that was in the vent with Liam said."CHILD!" Cyrus's voice growled with anger that made Shaggy jump with fright."Ooh-hoo, Like we better get out of here fast" Shaggy said.

'I'll get on top" another spider said and climbed on top of the other spider."Hurry, climb up before the spider king comes" he said. Shaggy was the first to climb up. He opened the vent and got in there. It was easier to reach now with two giant spiders on top of each other. After Shaggy climbed into the vent, the other ants and spiders started climbing into the vent as well. They all climbed into the vent before the spider king came in the dungeon. Cyrus saw that all his prisoners he put in the cells have escaped. Cyrus growled again." That child set all those prisoners free did he". Cyrus looked up and saw the vent opened. Once again, he growled and left the room to search for shaggy, and the prisoners. Up in the vents, Shaggy and the others were still crawling to get free. Liam was right behind Shaggy.

"Where to, kiddo?" Liam wondered. Shaggy looked both ways. Left and right, and saw a tiny bit of light on the right. Shaggy pointed to the right."That way" he said. They all started crawling to the right. Soon enough, they made it to another vent. Shaggy quietly opened it and looked down. He looked behind his shoulder at the others.

"This is the way out. It's in another room, but, like, I need two spiders to go first. I can't land on the hard ground".

"I'll go first" a spider said and jumped out of the vent. Another spider followed. Shaggy smiled, then jumped out of the vent. The prisoners followed after him.

"We're free! A prisoner cheered."Like, not yet" Shaggy told him. They still had to get out of the castle. But, they were at least out of the dungeon.
