Everyone soon snored once they fell asleep enough.
'Uh, like, ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Rogers,' Shaggy said through a PA. 'We are now entering Himalayan airspace. If you look out to the right side of the plane, you'll see a ratty old haunted temple!'
Everyone gasped as they saw a castle in the Himalayas.
"Funny, I don't remember that courtyard when we first flew in here." Daphne commented.
"Of course, we were crash landing at the time." Brianna reminded her.
"That makes sense." Daphne smiled back to Brianna.
The others seemed to worry about that until they soon landed and came into the Himalayas, and everyone wore their winter gear. Fred struggled to drive the van out of the jet since they were on the ground now.
"Fred, are you sure that you can handle it?" Brianna asked. "Maybe I should get it."
"It's okay, I got it!" Fred replied as he struggled, but soon got the van out onto the runway.
"Girls..." Vincent said to Brianna and Daphne while checking his phone. "My Air Boo&Boo host just 'scream-mailed' me back on my diePhone. The package delivered from Shaggy was never delivered by the 'Ghostal Service'."
Velma gave a deadpan look to Vincent.
"What? One too many puns?" Vincent replied.
"Three too many! Maybe four." Velma clarified.
"Where is everybody?" Daphne asked as she looked around. "It's the Supernatural Capital of the World!"
"News reports say that the whole village has been evacuated due to demon infestations." Double D said as he looked at his phone.
"Asmodeus!" Scooby yelped as he soon jumped into Shaggy's arms in fright.
"Hey, don't we know that guy?" Shaggy suddenly asked.
"He's the 13th ghost! You just met him at my castle!" Vincent reminded.
"No, not him," Shaggy said as he set Scooby down and pointed to a man who was looking at a Yakgurt Stand. "Him!"
They soon took a closer look.
"I like his style!" Scooby smiled.
"That's it! He was at our garage sale!" Shaggy realized.
"He was there!" Daphne gasped.
"Oh, yeah... Bernie Alan," Fred added. "I still have the check he bounced."
"And he's here now?" Vinny asked.
Vincent took out his opera glasses to get a closer look. "Hmm... That's quite a coincidence." He commented from that.
"In my experience, Vincent, there is no such thing." Velma smirked, patting Vincent on the back.
"My opera glasses!" Vincent gasped, bending down to pick them up.
"We better keep a close eye on this Bernie Alan guy." Velma commented.
"Not too close, okay, gang?" Daphne asked before seeing Shaggy and Scooby zip off instantly.
"That didn't take long, did it?" Vinny deadpanned.
Shaggy and Scooby were right behind Bernie Alan with money in their hands. He turned around and screamed when he saw them and running towards the temple.
"We've got a runner!" Brianna alerted. "It looks like we've got a runner!"
"Vincent, you, me, Brianna, Vinny, the boys, along with Trent, Mike, June, Dee Dee, and Cindy are gonna follow that tourist." Daphne suggested.
"Meanwhile Velma, you, Fred, the Eds, and Jo take the Miss-Tery Machine into town, and look for Shaggy's-" Brianna began.
Vincent had a happy grin on his face to hear her next words.
Brianna sighed to that. "Scare Package..."
Vinny playfully rolled her eyes to her uncle as Vincent clapped happily.
"It's possible the post office has been holding onto it." Brianna then continued.
"But of course!" Vincent gasped. "The Dead Letter Office goes in, but it never comes out!" he then let out an evil laugh.
"Uncle Vince, cool it with the laugh!" Vinny pouted.
"Sorry, dear, force of havit... Erm... Habit." Vincent replied.
"All right, guys, let's split up then." Vinny then told the others.
And with that, they split up.
Fred, Velma, The Eds, and Jo were in the post office, trying to get someone to help them.
"Hello?" Fred called out as he rang the bell.
"Deserted," Double D remarked. "Just like the rest of the village."
"Looks like Asmodeus got here first." Fred shrugged.
"Maybe..." Velma said and looked to the Dead Letter Office door and went behind the counter. "Come on."
"Is this legal?" Double D asked.
"Who knows, who cares? It's deserted anyway." Eddy scoffed.
"You okay, Jo?" Double D asked.
"Eh, I'll be fine," Jo replied. "Summoning Trigon just takes a lot out of me."
"I would've imagined so." Double D replied.
They soon came into the backroom to do a little exploring.
"We laughed at Vincent, but he was right!" Fred said. "This place is creepy!"
"The sooner we find Shaggy's box, the sooner we can leave." Velma replied.
But unknown to them, someone was watching and ran off. Jo looked around as she thought she heard something, but shrugged it off for now as she followed the others.
Meanwhile, the others crept up behind Bernie was he was looking at his map.
"He looks lost." Daphne commented.
"I don't fully understand what we're doing," Vincent remarked. "Is this all because of a bounced check?"
"No, no, you said it yourself," Daphne explained. "It's a pretty strange coincidence this guy showed up here. I think he knows something we don't."
"Why don't we just ask him?" Vincent suggested.
"Like, the man's a notorious check bouncer!" Shaggy replied. "We'd never get the truth!"
"Unless..." Scooby began.
"Unless what, Scooby?" June asked the dog.
Scooby soon made gestures as a suggestion to show them what he meant.
"Hey! That's right!" Shaggy smiled as he came up to Vincent. "Vincent, old buddy, why don't you cast an old truth telling spell on him? That oughta give us some answers!"
"Right! Of course..." Vincent replied. "Um... Let me see..."
There was soon a strange sound.
"Did you guys hear that?" Dee Dee asked.
"Oh, like, that's just Scooby's stomach," Shaggy smiled. "He hasn't eaten anything in over seven minutes!"
Scooby soon licked his lips in hunger.
"No, I believe I heard it too," Vinny said. "It came from down the road."
"Oh, no! He's gone!" Trent realized.
"Come on, we've got to-" Mike said until she heard the growling.
"Excuse me." Scooby said.
"No, Scoob, I think they're right!" Shaggy told him. "It wasn't you! It... It was-"
The growling soon got louder which scared Shaggy and Scooby as everyone looked around for the sound, but it wasn't actually a growling. Behind them was the car from before.
"You gotta be kidding me." Daphne muttered.
"Like, run!" Shaggy cried out.
"Wait, this is crazy," Brianna said as she pulled him back from going anywhere. "First the guy from our garage sale shows up, now that car that tried to run us off the road on our way to find Vincent. What's the connection?"
"And then there's the bigger question." Cindy spoke up.
"What's that?" Scooby asked her.
"Why isn't it coming for us right now?" Cindy quizzed them.
"The child makes an excellent point." Vincent commented.
The car revved up its engine and the mountain began to crumble behind it.
"That's why," Cindy soon answered her own question. "All that motor revving! He was starting an-"
"AVALANCHE!" Everyone else soon realized.
Shaggy and Scooby soon put on miner's hats.
"Say, Daph. Like, now, can we-" Shaggy spoke up.
"RUN!" Daphne cried out to the others.
Everyone started to ran away, all but Vincent as he just stood still, but luckily Scooby came back for him, grabbing him by his coat and pulled him away. They soon began to slide down the snowy hill.
"Yo, kid, you know any magic spells to stop this?" Mike asked.
"I'm sorry, Mike, but I don't have any environmental or weather spells yet until I go back to school." Vinny pouted.
"Oh, perfect." Mike deadpanned.
"Whee! This is fun!" Dee Dee beamed.
They continued to slide down while trying to avoid the mess.
"Surf's up, am I right?" A monster girl smiled as she came out.
"Abbey Bominable?" Mike asked in surprise.
"Oh, hello, Mike," Abbey smiled. "Fancy seeing you around these parts of my homeland."
"The Abominable Snowman has come back!" Shaggy screamed.
"Relax, Shaggy, it's just one of my friends: Abbey Bominable." Mike told him.
"Oh, cool, I always wanted to meet a yeti." Vinny smiled.
"What brings you here?" Abbey asked Mike.
"We're looking for the Chest of Demons." June replied.
"Chest of Demons?" Abbey asked. "I feel like I've heard of this from Marisol."
"It's missing, and we still have to capture the 13th ghost." Cindy replied.
"So I see... Maybe I could try to help." Abbey said.
"Uh, before you do, do you have a way of becoming human?" Mike asked. "I don't want the others to flip out."
"Huh? Oh, sure! Ghoulia made these special medallions so we could walk among the normies whenever we need to," Abbey smiled as she took out a special medallion before she suddenly changed into a human teenage with skin that was very pale white with platinum blonde hair and blue and pink streaks to look like highlights with dark blue eyes. "How do I look?" she then asked the others.
"I'll tell ya in a minute." Mike said as they weren't safe just yet.
Vincent yelped before he was on an ice cap and they were taken for quite a wild ride which seemed to go on for a while.
Back with the others, they were still looking through the boxes, but didn't seem to have much luck in finding what they were looking for.
"I don't think we'll ever finish checking all these labels!" Velma complained.
"Hey, come on, Velma, don't give up, you can do it!" Fred encouraged. "Velma! Velma! Velma!"
Velma glanced at him strangely.
"V-E-L-M-A! She's the one who-" Fred smiled as he began to pose around while cheering.
"Why are you doing that?" Jo deadpanned to him.
"You're right," Fred sighed in slight depression. "I don't know what my role is anymore."
"Huh? What?" Double D gasped before looking behind them as a box suddenly fell in the middle of the floor. "Okay, that was weird."
"I'll go check it out." Fred suggested.
"Wait," Velma said, holding him back. "It feels like a trap."
"Oh, Velma... I think I would know if I was walking into a-" Fred smiled before walking off only to suddenly get caught in a net. "Oh..."
"Gotcha!" A voice said before a teen came out to see them. He had red sneakers, dark gray pants, a yellow hooded sweatshirt, a gray under shirt, and an unkempt mop of black hair.
"What's going on?" Eddy demanded.
"What's going on here is that I'm the one asking the questions around here, trespassers!" The teen boy glared.
"Fine, but first, I have a few questions for you!" Eddy glared back.
"Oh, okay, shoot." The boy said, crossing his arms with a small smile.
They soon came to the main room after getting Fred down from the net.
"Not sure why you didn't just check the package registry first," The teen boy smirked. "Seems more efficient, but what do I know?"
"According to this, Shaggy's package was being held here until this morning." Velma said once she found Shaggy's name.
"This morning?" Fred groaned. "I can't believe that we missed it!"
"We'll have to keep looking for the Chest of Demons." Double D told the others.
"Wait, wait, wait! Chest of Demons?" The teen boy asked out of interest. "Well, why didn't you say so? Come with me!"
The others looked to each other and soon followed after the strange boy.
Meanwhile, the other group was still going down the snowy mountain as the avalanche was still coming towards them.
"Sure feels like we've been falling for a while," June said. "Dee, do you think you could do something about the snow?"
"Okey dokie, June." Dee Dee smiled innocently.
"Sometime today, Dee Dee?" June replied.
Dee Dee nodded as her goofy expression turned into a serious look as her eyes glowed a lighter blue and her hands glowed.
"Ooh, I have a good feeling about this." Vinny smiled.
"Yaaaaugh!" Dee Dee yelled out as she soon stopped the avalanche from going any further.
"Good job, Dee." Mike approved.
Vinny sighed. "Someday I'll be able to use my magic like that... Maybe when I go back after visiting Uncle Vincent."
After the whole avalanche deal, everyone was catching their breath.
"Well, the good news is that we made it to the temple." Daphne soon smiled.
"Let us go again!" Abbey smiled.
"Let's not and said we did." Mike teased.
They soon heard some revving again.
"Like, I think I already know the bad news!" Shaggy then panicked with Scooby.
The car was at the top of the mountain, now creating another avalanche for them.
"Not again!" Cindy cried out.
"Looks like those winters at my uncle's cabin in Aspen are finally gonna pay off!" Daphne then said. "Everybody on!"
Everyone soon came onto the sign which Daphne turned into a sled and they tried to move to go down the hill to avoid the avalanche. They went up and down many hills while escaping the avalanche before Scooby used his back legs to skid them closer and further away.
"Tree! Tree! Tree!" Scooby called out, but luckily, Daphne was able to swerve past them.
"This is so much fun!" Abbey smiled.
"For you, maybe!" June glared.
"It is fun, June!" Dee Dee beamed. "Put your hands up! I haven't had this much fun since that Snow Day when I had a snowball fight with Dexter!"
"Even that was a little chaotic," June replied. "You and your dad are crazy when it comes to snowball fights."
"Quite the easily excited ones, aren't we?" Vinny commented about Abbey and Dee Dee.
"You have no idea." Mike replied.
The ride seemed to go on for a while as everyone just hoped that they wouldn't crash. They then finally managed to arrive at the temple.
"Vincent, this would be a perfect time for a door opening spell!" Brianna suggested.
"Kids, there's something I-" Vincent was about to say before they yelled out as they came to the door.
"Come on, Vincent! Like, Open Sesame!" Shaggy cried out.
Vincent looked like he was going through a deep concentration while Vinny secretly took out her training wand and decided to use it to open the door.
"Hurry, before it's too late!" Cindy cried out.
However, the sign went up the stairs and they soon crashed with the snow against the temple.
Meanwhile, the teen boy was taking The Eds, Jo, Fred, and Velma to the Chest of Demons.
"You want your Chest of Demons?" The boy smirked to them. "All right. Prepare to enter The Realm of Darkness."
They soon saw a sign which merely said 'The Realm of Darkness: Mystical Gifts & Postcards'.
"Could we just go in?" Fred shivered. "I'm freezing!"
The teen boy smiled as he let them inside and shut the door behind them as it seemed to be almost like a gift shop.
"Is that the Chest of Demons?" Fred asked, seeing the box.
"Sure looks like it." Velma remarked.
"Well then, thank goodness it's still closed." Fred smiled.
"Oh, Fred, you're not starting to believe in this nonsense, are you?" Velma sighed as she went over to open up the chest.
"Velma, what are you doing?!" Eddy cried out.
"HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!" Double D added.
"You guys, it's just a box." Velma told them.
Everyone tensed up a bit as Velma was about to open up the box. Once she did, a bunch of dust flew out and the others went to hide, but Jo got into a fighting stance.
"See? Just an empty old-" Velma smiled until something came out of the box which was supernatural and she yelped from that. "JINKIES!"
Velma and Fred ran off hiding in a couple of vases. Ed stood in front of Eddy and Double D, pulling out his sword, looking serious. The teen boy soon walked over with a calm smile.
"Are you insane?! It's-" Velma yelped.
"Double lined with a lean back seal to keep your stuff cold and your hot stuff hot." The teen boy smirked as he opened up a can of soda that was in the box before he drank it.
"Seriously?" Jo deadpanned.
"Yeah, you want one, toots?" The teen boy offered.
"I'll ignore that, but what a letdown." Jo narrowed her eyes.
"It's a cooler?" Eddy asked.
Velma cleared her throat once she came out of hiding. "Of course it is," she then said. "It's just a plain old cooler."
"Oh, well, if you're looking for something fancier, we've got it all!" The teen boy smiled before pulling back a curtain.
"I'm just surprised you knew I was a girl." Jo said to the teen boy.
"Hey, anyone with eyes could see that." The teen boy replied.
"Finally, someone who has some sense." Jo commented.
"Wanna go out with me?" The teen boy grinned to her.
"Sorry, can't, I'm happily taken." Jo replied.
"Oh... Shame..." The teen boy said. "I bet you and I would've been happy together."
"Sorry, kid." Jo shrugged, not sure what to call him since she didn't know his name.
"Anyway, here ya go," The teen boy said as he showed them some Chest of Demons merchandise. "Chest of Demons coolers, Chest of Demons lunchboxes, phone chargers, you name it, we got it! And it's all celebrating this ancient relic that made the tourism capital of the Himalayas, with prices so low, it's demonic!"
The others glanced at him.
"Come on, guys." Velma groaned.
"Uh, I can probably cut you a deal if you buy four?" The teen boy suggested as he tried to keep them from leaving. "Or three? ...Two!"
"Have you ever actually sold one?" Eddy asked him.
"Once," The teen boy sighed. "But that was a long time ago."
"Sorry, but we're looking for the REAL Chest of Demons." Jo told him.
"The real one?" The teen boy asked. "You mean up at the temple? At least, it used to be there... No, you wouldn't wanna go back to that place. Trust me."
"Why not?" Double D asked.
The teen boy seemed to smirk from that question. "Uh, you're not ghost hunters, are you?" he then asked them all.
"Heh, as a matter of fact, kid, we are." Eddy smirked.
"Ghostbusters!" Ed called out.
"Not now, Ed." Eddy complained to that.
The teen boy smirked back as he was going to lead them to the real Chest of Demons before opening a cold, steel vault door. "Let's say you're at trouble with a capital T, you're troubled, tormented, totally trick-or-treaterified!"
"Huh?" Fred blinked in confusion.
"I'm talking about ghosts! I'm talking about goblins and geeks galore!" The teen boy replied as he spun Velma around before catching her in his arm. "To fight off fiends and freaks and more! You need a monster weapons store! A laser-guided harpoon gun will chase down and be done! This silver bullet cannon, yes, stopping werewolves at success!"
Jo glared in slight offense.
"A garlic bomb perfected at speed will finish off a vampire guaranteed!" The teen boy continued, taking out a small container of Drac B Gone. "So monster hunters, come on down, and you'll soon be saying that you found the lowest rates around! Here at Flimmy's Awesome Town!" he then jumped down before sliding into them on his knees.
Everyone just stared at him while Ed was clapping.
"I guess you haven't seen our commercial?" The teen boy asked them since they gave him dead air.
"Nope, but you've got some terrific rhymes." Fred replied.
"Do you know Evil Tim?" Ed asked.
"Maybe in a former life." The teen boy smirked just to humor him.
"Cool!" Ed smiled.
"Well, with all the superstitious tourists coming through here, I'll bet you do quite a business." Velma smirked to the boy.
"What can I say?" The teen boy shrugged with his hands on his hips. "Fighting the undead, it's a living."
Fred soon looked over to see his scooter. "Whoa, neat!" he then smiled.
"Give her a test run," The teen boy smiled to Fred. "You can drive a stick, right?"
"Of cour-Uh..." Fred replied as he put on the helmet.
"Ah, just kidding!" The teen boy chuckled before pushing him off. "It practically drives itself!"
Fred yelped as he was driving the scooter.
"So, what can I interest you ladies in?" The teen boy asked, smirking to Jo and Velma.
"Trust me, I'm not your type, I'll just end up hurting you, and not just from a broken heart." Jo said to him.
"It's true," Eddy added. "Even if she was single, you'd probably need a leash to control her."
Jo narrowed her eyes at him in response.
"Nothing," Velma told the teen boy. "I don't believe in ghosts."
"Well, what do you believe in?" The teen boy asked her.
"Science!" Velma defended.
"I just remembered something." Double D said.
"What?" Eddy replied.
"Didn't Velma believe in the Loch Ness Monster when Chicken and the others went to Scotland for the Highland Games?" Double D then said.
"...Yeah! I think you're right!" Eddy admitted.
"I have no idea what you two are talking about." Velma said as she glanced at the two Eds.
"And you saw my uncle to help us get out of that jam earlier!" Jo reminded.
"That was just a hologram." Velma shrugged.
"Yeah? You wanna visit my mind and visit all of the holograms?" Jo glared as she reached out for Velma. "You first!"
"Velma is just like my four-year-old cousin Lisa," Ed said. "She goes to college and Kindergarten!"
"Your cousin and Velma could probably end up as great buddies." Eddy commented.
"Quite." Double D agreed.
"Everything is just an illusion from what we faced before." Velma said.
"First of all, YOU'RE WRONG! Secondly, we've faced a lot of crazy supernatural stuff, thirdly, YOU'RE WRONG! You saw what we've been through all those times before besides men in masks, fourthly, YOU'RE WRONG! And lastly, ZOMBIE ISLAND RING ANY BELLS?!" Eddy sounded the most frustrated with Velma's behavior.
"Eddy, just calm down..." Double D said.
"No, Sockhead, she needs to hear this!" Eddy replied. "We've been with you guys for a long time! Have you not seen what we can do? THEY'RE JUST ILLUSIONS? I DON'T THINK SO!"
Velma just rolled her eyes, even though for once, Eddy made a good point.
"Just because science can't explain ghosts yet, doesn't make them any less real." The teen boy advised to Velma.
"Eh, nice try," Velma replied. "You're a good salesman, but not that good. We believe in facts, not fantasy. Right, guys?"
"NO!" Jo and the Eds replied.
"Huh?" Fred muttered as he soon came by, looking a bit beat up from the wild scooter ride.
"I said we're leaving!" Velma said, dragging him out.
"Whoa! Hey, listen, it's really dangerous here after dark!" The teen boy told them.
"Thank you!" Velma said as she shut the door behind her.
Soon enough, they were walking in the foggy mist outside.
"Can you believe that guy?" Velma huffed.
"No, what I can't believe is your attitude." Eddy replied.
"I hate to agree with the Shrimp, but you're really starting to bug me." Jo said to Velma.
"You guys, it's okay to admit that those 'powers' you have are just really illusions and not really real." Velma said to them.
"Still bugged by ya." Jo replied.
"What do you want me to say?" Velma asked.
"I just want you to admit that you're wrong!" Jo replied.
"Aw, come on," Velma said. "What's next, Biff and Jolene Cook from The Neptunes Band are mermaids?"
"You never know!" Eddy glared. "And besides, you saw that time when Henry and Alexandra turned into those Hulk monsters during that Phantom of the Talent Show Mystery or whatever you wanna call it. Those weren't illusions!"
"Yeah!" The others agreed.
"I think that kid has talent," Fred smiled about the teen boy they just met. "And between the souvenir shop, and the monster store, he's got two jobs! I don't even have one anymore." He then pouted.
"Aw, Fred." Double D frowned in empathy.
"What are you talking about?" Velma asked Fred.
"Yeah, talk to us, Fred," Double D added. "We're here for you."
"Daphne and Brianna are the leaders, Shaggy's the pilot, Scooby digs up clues and serves cold drinks, and Velma's the resident skeptic," Fred sulked. "What do I do? You saw me on that scooter! I-I can't even do background hijinks right."
"Well, at least you're honest," Velma shrugged. "Unlike that salesman back there."
Jo narrowed her eyes before taking out a spell phone. "Hey, Drell, can you send someone to Neptune for me?" she then asked.
"Is it Salem?" Drell asked, sounding a little too happy about that. "Maui? Uh... I can't send Maui... He and I are good friends, ya know."
"No, no, no," Jo replied. "Velma Dinkley?"
"Uh... I dunno if I can do that..." Drell replied. "I'm not really supposed to deal with mortals unless they cross my realm."
"Dammit!" Jo complained.
Drell shrugged with a modest grin.
"What are you good for anymore?!" Jo complained.
"Want me to erase your memory and send you into a reality where you don't have your powers?" Drell crossed his arms with a smirk.
"You wouldn't!" Jo seemed to actually panic.
"Do you want to test me?" Drell bribed.
"No, you win." Jo replied.
"Good," Drell replied. "Sorry, you're on your own, I'm busy." he then hung up on her.
"Dammit, that was a waste of time." Jo grumbled.
"I'm sorry to hear that, Fred." Double D said to the Mystery Inc leader.
"Selling the same story about things lurking in the dark, trying to nab us," Velma continued to rant. "Let me tell you, if something's trying to nab us; I'm pretty sure we-" Before she could finish her sentence, something grabbed her in the air, leaving her glasses on the ground.
The Eds looked at Jo, but she shrugged as he didn't do anything.
"Velma? Velma!" Fred called out until he saw her glasses and he picked them up until he was grabbed next.
"Oh, dear! Fred!" Double D cried out.
"And then there were four." Ed commented.
Eddy counted them out, and that was then true.
"We will be next like when the Kanker Sisters ate radioactive mashed potatoes and grew into mutant size!" Ed continued.
"It has to be Asmodeus," Jo replied. "Who else would do this?"
"We must prepare ourselves, my friends!" Ed proclaimed.
They were soon grabbed next without a first or a second thought.
