The trap

"Are you OK?" Lola asked when they found Michael.

"I'm fine, thanks for rescuing me." Michael replied.

"What were you doing in there anyway?" Bugs asked.

"When the dragon master captured me, he tied me up and threw me in here," Michael replied, "by the way, how did you guys find me?"

"Bugs and Lola heard your cries for help." Fred responded.

"Lucky rabbit senses." Daffy muttered under his breath.

"Did you see or hear anything suspicious before you were captured?" Daphnie asked.

"I did actually," Michael replied, "I saw Richard the manager taking the trophy that we won last season and bringing out a exact duplicate. He used to be an artist that specialised in using plastic in his creations. I also saw a robotic dragon in a hidden passage under the stadium."

"Is that so?" Fred asked.

"True as I am." Michael replied.

"I think we've just about got this mystery solved guys." Velma added confidently.

"Now all we need to do is capture the dragon master." Fred added.

"How are we going top do that?" Daffy asked.

"Me and Lola have an idea that involves the hidden passage under the stadium," Bugs replied.

"Like, hopefully it'll work better than one of Fred's plans." Shaggy added

"HEY!" Fred replied. Everyone laughs.

"Come to the playing field and we'll tell you about our idea." Lola said. Everyone went to the playing field and looked at Bugs and Lola waiting for them to explain the plan.

"Ok, here's the idea," Bugs started," we're going to have an exhibition game and the prize will be the trophy."

"The teams will be me, Bugs, Michael, Daffy and…" Lola started. Then Porky entered the stadium.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-What's going on guys?" Porky asked.

"We're about to capture the dragon master." Daffy added.

"Up for a game of Hoops?" Lola asked porky.

"Wh-Wh-Wh-Sure." Porky replied.

"Ok, so our fifth guy is porky," Bugs continued. "We'll be playing against you for the trophy."

"When the dragon master sees the trophy, he'll run on the field to try and grab it," Lola continued, "I'll grab the trophy and lead him over to where the secret passage is."

"I'll cover the hole with a rug disguised as part of the playing field and build a cage so that when the dragon master falls in he'll be trapped," Bugs added, "Any questions?"

"How are you going to make sure we don't fall down the trap hole?" Fred asked.

"The covering mat will be a darker shade so we can tell the difference," Lola replied, "Any other questions?"

"How are you going to get the trophy?" Velma asked.

"I got a top degree in art at the Looniversity," Lola replied, "I can make an exact duplicate of the trophy."

"Looks like we're all set then," Fred said.

"One thing," Shaggy replied

"What?" Velma asked.

"Like, we won't do it!" Shaggy said

"Would you do it for a scoob…" Daphnie started but shaggy interrupted.

"Way ahead of you." Shaggy said as he and Scooby both got out a box of Scooby snacks and started eating.

"Let's get started then." Daffy said.

After the necessary preparations had been made the group was ready for the game. The fake trophy that Lola made, complete with a fake diamond, was on display on the bench. They hadn't been playing long before the dragon master appeared. The dragon master made a run for the trophy.

"He's taken the bait," Bugs said under his breath, "Lola, go"

Lola ran towards the bench and snatched the trophy just as the dragon master reached the bench.

"Try and catch me!" Lola taunted at the dragon master.

"I'll get you!" The dragon master responded as he gave chase. Lola led him to the covered hole and jumped over the mat. The dragon master stepped on the mat and fell into the cage that bugs had built.

"We got him!" Daffy shouted.

"Your jewel heisting days are over." Lola shouted down the hole. The gang went down and grabbed the dragon master and tied him up until the police arrived.

"Ok, now the police are here, it's time for the unmasking." Fred said.
