Part 1

Once upon a time, a group of teenagers and a special dog went on a mountain hiking trip in the Cascade Mountains of the U.S. Northwest. After a long day of hiking, the group set camp in a nearby forest and were roasting marshmallows and hot dogs over an open fire.
"Mmm," said a blond-haired gentleman, "the hot dogs smell delicious."
A bespectacled girl asked, "Has anyone seen Shaggy and Scooby?"
"Shaggy's finishing pitching the tents," a red-haired young lady replied, "and Scooby's out gathering more firewood."
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, a young man with a goatee beard, came along and took a stick. "The tents are set, and like, I'm ready to take in a hot dog s'more."
Red-headed Daphne Blake asked, "What is a hot dog s'more?"
"That's easy. It's a hot dog covered in marshmallow. The rest involves the chocolate and graham crackers."
Velma Dinkley, the brains of the group with the glasses, showed an expression of disgust. "Now I know why your first toy was a garbage disposal. How can you eat any of your crazy concoctions without being sick in the stomach?"
"Don't worry, Velma," said Freddie Jones, the blonde with the strength. "They won't be selling any cookbooks any time soon."
Shaggy then asked, "Is Scooby-Doo back from gathering more firewood yet?"
"No, not yet," replied Velma. "I hope he doesn't get lost, but with food cooking I don't think he'll have a problem getting back."
Scooby-Doo was in the forest, admiring the majestic beauty while searching for firewood. However, his concentration was broken by the sound of something very strange. Naturally, his curiosity aroused him, so he decided to investigate.
As the sounds grew louder, Scooby knew he was getting closer. Becoming more nervous, he approached a nearby bush. The strange sounds were on the other side; therefore, he poked his head through the bush into a clearing.
To his amazement, he noticed a small animal with blue skin and blue hair and wearing a strange yellow outfit. It looked like a monkey, but it was not one Scooby had ever seen on his whirlwind adventures and mysteries. He cautiously walked toward the strange blue monkey.
The furry creature was going about its business, collecting firewood for its camping party. Just as it was about to pick up another piece of wood, it had a sense that someone or something was watching. It turned around to see what that something was.
The monkey had never seen an animal like Scooby-Doo before, and it assumed that the Great Dane was a monster. The creature shrieked with fright, which in turn made Scooby yell in fear.
The two animals ran away in opposite directions as each were heading for his respective camp.
Freddie and the others had finished their hot dogs but saved a stick for Scooby when he returned.
Scooby suddenly came by very fast, running over Shaggy. The terrified Great Dane ran into his special dog tent and zipped up the entrance.
Daphne was concerned and went to Scooby's tent. "Scooby, what's the matter?"
He managed to come out of the tent and used pantomime to describe what he saw. He first acted like a monkey, and then he pointed to Freddie's blue jeans.
After a few minutes, Velma pieced Scooby's story together. "You mean to say you saw a blue monkey?"
Scooby nodded wildly with his answer.
Freddie said, "Maybe you got so hungry you started hallucinating. After all, there's no such thing as a blue monkey."
Shaggy added, "Maybe you'll feel better after a roasted hot dog."
Scooby panted his breath on that idea and took his stick with the hot dog. Eating his meal, his thoughts about seeing a blue monkey no longer haunted him.

At a different camp, a pair of teenagers noticed the blue monkey coming their way. Like the members of the other camp, they were roasting hot dogs.
They were a brother-and-sister set of twins, dressed very unusually. They wore light purple outfits, the brother with a "Z" printed on his chest and the sister with a "J" printed on hers. Another strange aspect was that they both had pointed ears.
When the brother heard the screaming monkey, he said, "It looks like Gleek found some trouble."
"Sounds like it, too," the sister added. "Perhaps he saw a forest animal and thought it was a monster."
Gleek, the blue monkey, came back to his friends, the twin siblings named Zan and Jayna. The poor creature was out of breath and fell to the ground on his back.
The pair laughed at Gleek's reactions, but Jayna was able to wake up the space monkey with a banana. "Say, Gleek, did you see a monster in the forest?"
Gleek did his best to describe what he saw, but the twins just laughed.
After a minute, Zan said, "We better hit the sack, sis, since we've got a day of hiking and fishing coming up tomorrow."
"Okay, wonder brother." Jayna turned to Gleek and said, "You better come in tonight. It's supposed to be awfully cold."
Knowing she was right, the furry monkey joined her and her brother in the tent and went to sleep. Consequently, he had much trouble trying to sleep because he couldn't get the "monster" he saw out of his mind.

The next morning, Scooby and his friends were already awake and doing some mountain climbing.
Everything was going well on the climb, since they were all experienced and as long as Shaggy and Scooby did not look down.
Daphne, at the bottom of the climb, was beginning to feel uneasy. "Hold it, everyone." She took her left hand and placed it on her stomach. "I don't feel very well."
The group was already too high up on the mountain to get back on the ground. Fortunately, Freddie was able to spot a ledge just to the left of where Daphne was.
"Are you well enough to climb down and left to that ledge?" he asked.
"I-I think so," she replied slowly. "I'll try to get there."
As Daphne was moving slowly downward, Scooby, who was above Velma and below Shaggy, noticed the rope above him on a sharp point. It was slowly starting to tear, strand by strand. "Uh-oh!" Scooby exclaimed to himself. "Shaggy!"
"What's wrong, Scoob?"
"The rope's breaking!"
Shaggy looked below and said, "Like, he's right. The rope is breaking!"
Freddie knew something was wrong, so he looked at Daphne and Velma and yelled, "You two try to reach the ledge to lessen the weight."
The two girls slowly climbed down toward the ledge, but the rope suddenly broke above Scooby! All three took only a small drop as they managed to land safely on the ledge.
Unfortunately, the combined weight of all three individuals was becoming too much for the ledge, and it was beginning to give way.
As for the members of the other camp, they were out on a morning hike.
Walking out of the forest and into the base of the mountainous terrain, Zan absorbed the fresh air as he breathed in. "Ah, isn't this wonderful, sis? I mean, the peace, the beauty, the serenity?"
Jayna certainly agreed. "You said it, Zan. The fresh air can sure take your mind off being a super--" Her sentence was interrupted when she heard something. "Zan, listen. Do you hear that?"
Zan listened very carefully and then said, "They sound like cries for help, but where are they coming from?"
Gleek looked up and noticed a pair of climbers at about the midway point of the powerful mountain. He tagged Jayna on her foot.
"What is it, Gleek?" Jayna asked. When Gleek pointed up, she notice the two climbers. "What's going on up there?" she yelled to them.
Shaggy looked below and loudly answered, "Like, our three friends are trapped on that ledge!"
"And what's worse," added Freddie, "the ledge is going to collapse any second!"
Zan immediately knew what to do. "Drop the backpacks, sis. We've got to save them before it's too late!"
The twins took off their backpacks and placed them on the ground. Then, they put out each other's opposite hand, both hands clenched into fists.
In unison the pair shouted, "Wonder Twin powers--activate!"
Clenching fists touched, instantly activating their special abilities.
"Form of a pterodactyl!" Jayna shouted.
"Shape of an ice bench fit for five!" yelled Zan.
The twins transformed into their respective forms, and Jayna swooped in to pick up Zan. Gleek hopped into the bench as all of them moved up to save the five climbers.
Scooby-Doo, Daphne, and Velma were frightened as they had their backs against the mountain, trying to keep the weight on the ledge from getting too heavy. When they suddenly saw a pterodactyl appear in front of them, they all acted very cautious.
Velma couldn't believe what she was seeing. "This is impossible! Dinosaurs haven't been around for millions of years!"
Zan eased the nerves of the threesome when he said, "Relax, friends. We're here to rescue you."
Daphne shook her head in disbelief. "I must really be sick. A talking bench!?"
Jayna quickly said, "Guess you haven't seen a talking ice bench or a talking pterodactyl before." Realizing the danger, though, she got serious. "There's no time to lose. Get into the bench, hurry."
All three wasted no time getting into the bench, but when Scooby noticed Gleek in the bench, he told Daphne and Velma. "That's him, that's him! The blue monkey!" It was the same animal he saw in the forest the day before.
The rescuers and the rescued moved up to Freddie and Shaggy, but Shaggy was terrified of the pterodactyl. "ZOINKS! We're under attack!"
Velma reassured him. "Don't worry, Shaggy. They're helping us. Now unbuckle your line. They're taking all of us to safety."
"Are you sure?"
"Shaggy," Freddie said, "would you rather be up here, all day long?"
"Like, no way! I'm coming!"
As the two men got into the bench, the ledge on which Scooby and the girls were standing gave way, and the rocks crashed to the ground.
Soon afterward, Jayna came in for a landing but made it just a little too bumpy for Zan and his passengers.
"Whoops," Jayna said, "sorry about the landing, folks. I'm still working on it as a pterodactyl."
As all the passengers exited from the bench, Zan happily accepted her apology. "Don't worry, super sister. It would've been worse if you were a hummingbird."
"Spacey, Zan. Real spacey." Jayna knew her brother was only joking, so she laughed it off.
As soon as the five climbers were safe, the twins touched each other once more and yelled, "Wonder Twin powers--deactivate!" In a matter of seconds, the pterodactyl and the ice bench transformed back into the pair.
Scooby barked wildly as he saw Gleek, and his friends could not believe it.
Velma took off her glasses for a second and then put them back on. She realized she wasn't hallucinating. "I thought you were crazy, but it sure looks like you really saw a blue monkey."
As for Gleek, he jumped on Zan's shoulder in fear and pointed at Scooby.
"What's wrong, Gleek?" Zan asked.
Jayna figured out what Gleek was trying to say. "Of course. That 'monster' Gleek saw yesterday must have been this dog." She walked up to the Great Dane and petted him.
Velma was still a little concerned for Daphne. "Are you feeling all right now?"
"I-I think so. It's probably something that didn't agree with my stomach."
With everything that had just happened, Freddie came to one simple conclusion. "Since it seems we met by rescue, I think it's only fair to do some introductions." He introduced himself and his friends one by one.
Jayna returned the favor by introducing herself, Zan, and Gleek.
"Now that we've all been formally introduced," said Velma, "there's one thing I want to know. How did you two do all that stuff you did in rescuing us?"
"Well, Velma," Zan started, "would you believe me if I said the three of us come from a distant planet called Exxor?"
"If there's such a thing as a blue monkey," Freddie noted, "then I'll certainly take your word for it."
"I would, too," Daphne said, "but I'm also curious. What about your changing abilities?"
Jayna answered, "It's real simple. When Zan and I touch each other's hands, we activate our special powers. Would you like to see a quick demonstration?"
Scooby-Doo and the others nodded in agreement.
"Okay. Ready, Zan?"
"Ready, sis."
Clenching their hands into fists again, the pair yelled, "Wonder Twin powers--activate!" They touched, again activating their powers.
Jayna went first. "I can change into practically any animal in the galaxy. For example, try this. Form of a California condor." She quickly changed into the endangered bird.
"As for me," said Zan, "I can change into anything based on water, like this. Shape of an ice bucket." He turned into ice shaped like a bucket.
Scooby and his friends looked in awe in what the twins were able to do.
"To change back to ourselves," said Jayna, "we touch each other again and say--" Zan joined her in yelling, "Wonder Twin powers--deactivate!" Within seconds, they were back to themselves.
"Like, wow!" Shaggy exclaimed. "That's really groovy."
Scooby said, "Rr-wow!"
Velma then asked, "What about Gleek?"
"Unfortunately," Zan started to answer, "Gleek is still Gleek, but he has a pretty useful tail."
Gleek demonstrated his prehensile abilities by using his tail as a lasso and to make words.
Everyone started laughing very hard, but it was certainly a way to get the dangerous rescue behind all of them.
After a moment, Zan remembered to tell Jayna something important. "We need to be getting back to Metropolis, since our vacation's almost over."
"Ah, you're right," Jayna agreed. "The others will be expecting us."
"Others?" asked Daphne. "You mean there are more people like you?"
"You could say that. Have you ever heard of the Super Friends?"
"Oh, yeah!" clamored Shaggy. "They have, like some amazing powers and use them to keep the world safe."
Zan nodded and said, "Right, Shaggy. We're what you would call 'super-heroes-in-training,' and the five heroes we train under are the best mentors anyone could have."
"Who are the five heroes?" Velma asked curiously.
"Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, and Robin."
Scooby-Doo's eyes lit up when he heard the last two names. "Batman and Robin?"
Jayna looked at Scooby strangely. "Wait a minute. Do you know Batman and Robin?"
"We sure do," replied Freddie. "We teamed up with the Caped Crusaders on two different mysteries."
"That's right!" said an excited Velma. "One case involved a counterfeiting operation, and the other was about a flying suit. In both cases, the Joker and the Penguin were involved."
"So," said Zan, "you must all be amateur detectives, right?"
"That's correct."
"You know, I wonder what would happen if you had a strange mystery at the same time with us?"
Shaggy answered, "Now that'd be something fun to do. After all, I could just see myself being with Batman in the Batmobile again."
"Shaggy," noted Daphne, "you're so big a chicken that the mentioning of the Joker or the Penguin gets you jumpy."
Jayna said, "Oh, well, we have to be home in a couple of days, so we may as well get going."
Just then, Freddie came up with a great idea. "Hold on, Jayna. We were about to leave this afternoon anyhow, and we have no plans to go anywhere else. How about we all go to Metropolis together in the Mystery Machine."
"Mystery Machine?" asked the Wonder Twins simultaneously.
"Like, right," said Shaggy. "It's our mode of transportation, and you could save your strength by traveling together with us."
Jayna thought for a moment and said, "Why not? I mean, we could get a better look at the scenery from the ground. What do you think, Zan?"
"All right, it might be fun. What about you, Gleek?"
When Gleek nodded wildly with excitement, everybody had a good hard laugh.
"In that case," said Freddie, "we'll meet at the park entrance as soon as everyone has packed their things."
In less than an hour, the two camping teams were loading their gear into the Mystery Machine.
As it was almost time to leave, Zan and Velma discussed a few minor concerns.
"I want to thank you," said Zan, "for letting us come along with you in your vehicle. The only worry is that we may become a hassle to you, especially with Gleek's usually wild nature."
Velma responded, "Don't be silly, Zan. It's nice to have some company, especially if they are from another planet. I just hope you don't mind being cramped up for hours at a time."
"That's okay. We don't mind seeing the countryside from the ground for a change. Besides, Jayna could always turn into a field mouse, and I could become an ice hook, so we could both stay stretched without feeling cramped."
"Jinkies, I forgot about your abilities."
Daphne, from inside the Mystery Machine, said, "We're all ready to go. All aboard the Mystery Machine for Metropolis."
After everyone boarded and Velma calculated the exact course, Freddie started the engine. Soon they were off to the big city of Metropolis, but none of the adolescents or the animals realized that they and the World's Greatest Superheroes would all become involved in an extremely strange mystery . . .

Hundreds of miles away, in Salt Lake City, a train was carrying a supply of valuable minerals to Denver.
However, a camouflaged individual was watching the shipment very closely. "Those minerals are just what the boss needs for his special device." He reached into his right pocket and took out a radio. "Agent 2-1 calling Agent 2-3. Be ready to make your move."
Not too far away, another man in camouflage said, "Roger." He turned to some other disguised individuals and said, "All right, boys. We wait for Grandma's signal."
They were all ready to hijack the train and steal the minerals.
A kindly grandmother was walking slowly until she stepped right onto the track. However, she was not ill at all. She took something out of her pink scarf and aimed a device right at the train engine.
Upon pressing a button, the device emitted a strange beam, one which froze the train and the engineers in their place.
While she kept the train frozen, she took off her scarf and waved it.
Agent 2-3 noticed the waving scarf. "There's the signal, guys. Let's go!"
The others went into the freight car and took every last mineral. Before leaving the scene, they replaced the expensive minerals with well-designed fakes.
As soon as the thieves were gone, the woman put on the scarf again and stepped off the track. She turned off the beam and continued walking as if there were nothing wrong.
The train moved on, the engineers unfazed by the unusual experience.
As the thieves gathered together, they started giving high-fives and congratulated each other on a perfect job.
Agent 2-1 said, "Nice work, Serena. Those two engineers didn't even know what hit them."
"Yeah," Serena agreed, taking off her pink scarf and hood and showing her green eyes and flowing red hair. "By the time the authorities figure out the minerals are gone, we'll be back at the boss's headquarters in Metropolis."
With that in mind, the group of criminals got into their jet-black plane and took off for Metropolis.
In about an hour, the plane safely landed at a small airstrip just to the west of the city.
As for the crooks, they walked into the hangar and headed straight for the office.
The man in charge of the operation wore a business suit and a tie. "How did all of you do on your job?" he asked.
Agent 2-3 put a box on the desk and said, "We got 'em all, Dr. Kendall, just like you ordered."
He looked inside the box and was pleased with the results. "Good work, all of you. Serena, did the stall beam work?"
"Perfectly," she replied. "The engineers didn't even know what happened."
"Excellent, my dear. Your mastery of disguise has proven to be invaluable to the operation." Dr. Kendall then gave a sigh. "You've all done a great job, believing in my philosophy of bringing vegetation to the deserts of the world. There's a hunger problem worldwide, and my special device can bring it to an end. Unfortunately, the world scientists rejected my ideas, so I have to keep this a secret. You understand, don't you?"
The group nodded in agreement.
"The minerals will power the machine, but we still need one last gem for the focal point."
"What's that?" Serena asked with curiosity.
"The Clairborn Diamond. However, it won't be in town for a couple of days."
Agent 2-1 asked, "What'll we do now, Doc?"
"We just lay low until the right time.".
