"Saiya-jin?! That pot-smoking coward? Impossible! I could kill him easily!" He roared, then pointed at Shaggy. "I'll kill you!"
"Yikes! Run for it!" Shaggy jumped onto Scooby's back, and the two took off.
"Come back, Scooby! Come back Shaggy!" Fred cried after them.
"No way!"
"Ro ray!"
Velma held up a box. "Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?" She yelled at the two.
Goten sniffed at the box that Velma held, then looked at the freckled red-head. "Do you have any Goten Snacks?" He asked.
"Uhm," Velma blushed. "No, I don't. Sorry." She apologized, pushing up her glasses. Goten whimpered.
Marron sighed, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a treat. "Here you go, Goten!" She called. The boy ran up to her, excitedly. "Good boy." She cooed as she scratched him behind the ear. Goten gobbled up the snack and yipped happily.
Scooby and Shaggy turned, warily reproaching the group. Shaggy hastily grabbed the box of Scooby Snacks and he and the great dane began to chow down.
Gokou drooled a little as he approached them. "Ne," he said, licking his lips, "can I have one of those?"
"NO!" Scooby and Shaggy shouted in unison.
"Pleaaaaaaase?" Gokou pleaded. Shaggy hugged the box to himself defensively.
"Like, we said no, man!"
"Pretty pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?! I'm HUNGRY!!"
"Like, man!" Everyone gasped as Shaggy began to glow an eerie yellow. His hair, and the whiskers on his chin began to turn golden and spike out in all directions. "These Scooby Snacks are OURS!"
Marron stopped scratching Goten behind the ear and looked at the pot-head in amazement. "Impossible."
"Ku-kuso..!" Vegeta exclaimed. "He can't be a Saiya-jin! Let alone a... SUPER Saiya-jin?!"
Shaggy's eyes glowed and his demeanor changed, as if some unknown presence had taken control of his body. "Ah, but, like, I am a Saiyan, man." Shaggy said. "I had forgotten it all until now."
"You see," Shaggy began his story, "I was born on the planet Vegeta, a warrior named Eatalotto."
"Eatalotto? He was the son of Mustard and Relish; they were two of my father's finest soldiers." Vegeta stated in disbelief. "You couldn't be their son!"
"Ah, but I am." Shaggy continued. "I was sent, with my faithful dog, to conquer a planet called 'Earth'--but something happened. When my space-ship landed, both my dog and I hit our heads and lost our memories. From then, we were no longer Saiyan and Saiyan dog; we were found, scared and alone, by some humans and became like them from that point on. The cowardice we felt when we first hit our heads however, has haunted us all our lives."
"Reah." Scooby agreed, remembering with Shaggy.
"Can you believe this?" Asked Fred, looking to Daphne and Velma. Daphne shrugged.
"Well, it's no different than all those times we 'mysteriously' get lost or run out of gas." She said.
"And no stranger than how we always wind up at haunted houses being spooked by guys in masks." Velma added.
Bra looked down at her watch. "I think this 'show' has been longer than half an hour. Aren't the credits supposed to roll now or something?" She asked, tapping her foot.
"I think we have to solve the 'mystery' of how to get them home first." Marron replied.
"Can I have one of those Goten Snacks?" Gokou asked, still pouting over not getting any Scooby Snacks.
"I am a Super Saiyan." Shaggy stated. "A SUPER HUNGRY SAIYAN!" With that, he finished the rest of the Scooby Snacks.
Everyone sweat-dropped.
"Ah, well. Let's go get something to eat, then!" Gokou suggested.
"Yeah!" Goten shouted in agreement.
"After that, we can try to solve this mystery." Fred said.
Daphne looked to Juuhachi-gou. "You're not really going to let your daughter drag this out into another episode, are you?" She asked.
Juuhachi-gou shrugged.
"Don't question my motives!" A booming voice said from behind them.
"Marron-chan, put down the bullhorn." Juuhachi-gou ordered. The pigtailed girl lowered the bullhorn, sulking.
Gokou clasped Shaggy on the shoulder. "Well, come on! Let's go eat!"
