Fred slowly edged back to his original position, close to where Shaggy and Scooby had just been caught. He was now in vision of the frog creature searching the area, whereas Daphne was out of shot. It suddenly turned around and stared at him, raising it's slimy arms ready to grab him. Fred paused, waiting for the creature to get closer. Shaggy and Scooby watched from where they were standing over by Velma, still imprisoned by the other creatures. The creature took one more step closer to Fred, who briefly hesitated before holding onto the stalagmite with his palms and leaping into the air. With a swift, flying kick to the abdomen, the frog creature was knocked back. "GET HIM!" Velma ordered, witnessing the attack.
The creature grew more angry and charged at Fred. It's eyes enlarged, as if a red mist took over it and could focus on nothing but getting revenge. Fred backed up slowly, holding his arms slightly out as he crouched the tiniest bit. The creature swiped at him with its green, webbed hands. Fred ducked and rolled quickly, causing the creature to trip over him and plummet to the ground. It made a loud noise as it fell, evidently it was strong and heavy. Fred had no plan, in fact this had all been circumstantial and with the rush of adrenaline, his body had just reacted to his situation. Now what? He wondered looking over to the others. Shaggy was struggling against the firm grasp of his capturer, squirming as much as he could to escape its slimy clutches. Scooby could barely move as he was stabilised by the creature, holding him in its arms. Fred started to run over to help the pair of them, but as he picked up his feet, the creature laying before him took a hold of his ankle and pulled him to the ground.
Shaggy used what little upper body strength he had to cause himself to topple over the creatures arms, so his arms and head were against the ground. The creature clung onto his legs so he was almost upside down. Shaggy scratched at the floor to help himself escape but there was nothing to use to pull away from the creature. Suddenly, something fell to the ground from one of Shaggy's pant pockets. Velma pointed the staff at the object on the ground, the moonstones from the top of the staff lit up the area of the ground so it was more visible. "The final moonstone!" She yelled, sounding both angry and excited. "All these years and finally all three moonstones are mine!" she continued, along with a loud and evil cackle.
Fred looked up, moving his face from the ground as he was still laying chest down on the floor. "NOO!" he called out desperately. Scooby had been waiting for the slight release in grip the creature had on him, and it came as soon as the announcement of the third moonstone came. He took his chances and squirmed out of its arms, stretching his body as far as he could to wriggle away. The creature had taken a couple of seconds to realise but tried to gain a grip on him again, but it was too late. Scooby rushed over to where Shaggy was still being held upside down and bit the creature hard on its forearm. "GAGHHHHHHH!" It screamed as it released Shaggy to hold onto the wound it had just received. Shaggy dropped to the ground, not staying there long before bouncing up onto his feet. "NO!" Velma screamed and started to rush over, her hand open ready to get the final moonstone. Before she had the chance, Scooby scooped it up into his mouth, like a Labrador carrying an egg, holding it softly in place. He and Shaggy began running over to Fred, who kicked his capturer in the face to escape the clutch of his ankle. Shaggy took the stone from Scooby's mouth. "Fred! Like, catch!" he yelled, tossing the moonstone into the air and over to where Fred was now standing on his feet. He jumped in the air, catching the stone as if it was a football and stuffed it into his pocket.
Fred was a short distance in front which meant he could run down the tunnel that Daphne had gone down ahead with the moonstone. Shaggy and Scooby weren't far behind him. They ran as fast as they could, no sign of the creatures behind them yet. "I hope Daph is safe." Fred said in a hushed tone, but Shaggy and Scooby heard him and hoped the same thing. "She's tougher than she looks." Shaggy reminded him, to which Fred returned with a small smile.
A/N: So I've been really busy at the moment and have been struggling to fit in writing- but thanks to those of you who take the time to read this! Please leave reviews so I know how I'm doing and ways to improve! I do feel like I haven't written this to the best of my ability but I've enjoyed it so next time I might not rush it as much and make it as good as I can. Let me know if you would like me to re-write any other Scooby Doo films and leave suggestions of which ones you would like to see! Thanks- AJ
