They soon got in the van, but Fred struggled on driving it. Velma was searching for her spare pair of glasses.

"This clutch," Fred struggled. "I can't-"

"Fred?" Double D spoke up.

"Not now, Double D." Fred told him.

"What are you looking for?" Jo asked Velma who was still searching.

"My spare glasses, I'm pretty sure I left a pair in the van," Velma said as she looked. "Oh! Here they are. Oh, yeah..." she then smiled once she put them on.

Fred still struggled to drive the van.

"Someone else drive, please." Cindy suggested.

"My parents drive better than this." Abbey commented.

"This clutch... I can't-" Fred grunted.

"Fred." Double D tried again.

"What?!" Fred replied.

"That's not the clutch." Double D told him.

"You mean this is not the...?" Fred asked.

"That's the emergency brake!" Cindy told him as she took a look with Double D and Velma. "That pedal over there is the clutch."

Fred soon realized that and began to drive the van easier now that he saw his mistake.

"Grandma Yeti drive better, but not bad." Abbey smiled to Fred.

"Not a word about this to Daphne." Fred demanded.

"Uh-huh." Eddy replied.

They soon rode off.

"Don't worry, Uncle Vince, we'll help you." Vinny whispered to herself.


Meanwhile...

"Mm... Mm!" The teen boy from earlier smiled as he snacked on some crackers which were shaped like The Chest of Demons. "You can really taste the demons!"

Velma opened the door, glaring at the teen boy.

"Aha," The teen boy remarked. "I had a feeling you'd be back."

"You know what?!" Velma glared as she got up in his face. "I was a lot happier before I believed in ghosts!"

"Yo... What changed your mind?" The teen boy asked.

"Doesn't matter," Velma replied. "What does matter is that right now, up in that temple, somebody's about to release 13 of the most terrifying ghosts upon the face of the earth!" she then stormed off to the secret vault. "So, we'll need one of everything."

"Whoa! Wow! Okay," The teen boy smiled to that as he took out a clipboard. "Let me just have you fill out a-"

Velma then slammed it out of his hands.

"No? Uh... Right, of course," The teen boy smiled nervously. "Time is of the essence-Wait. Did you say 13 ghosts?" he then asked.

"You're darn right we did!" Eddy replied.

The teen boy soon looked determined as this was serious.


Meanwhile, in the van Ghoul jet plane...

"Like, we're at 5,000 feet, and we're off!" Shaggy said over the PA.

The jet plane opened the back, revealing Daphne, Brianna, Trent, Scooby, Mike, June, and Dee Dee, wearing helmets and backpacks. Scooby looked quite nervous.

"Like, the auto-pilot's unavailable because it's engaged," Shaggy told the others as he took his own helmet. "A little cockpit humor for ya."

Daphne then put the helmet on his head while Brianna gave him a parachute.

"But seriously, I don't think I can jump!" Shaggy then panicked while hugging Scooby.

"That's okay, I'm going to push you." Daphne smiled as she put on the goggles and came to push them out the plane.

Shaggy and Scooby yelped as they were falling out the plane now.

"I hope these parachutes work better than the pilot episode for Pahkitew Island." Mike commented.

"I'm sure it will." June replied.

"I hope I don't break any bones again." Trent commented.

"You ready, Mike?" June asked.

"Yeah. Let's go." Mike decided.

Mike, June, and Dee Dee soon ran across the floor and jumped down out the plane together, making a shape together like the Power Rangers. Trent took a deep breath and jumped out of the plane. Then Brianna and Daphne followed him after putting the jet plane on auto pilot. Shaggy and Scooby were still freaking out on the way down. Daphne and Brianna soon swooped by and pulled their rip cords since they seemed too scared to.

"Come on, Trent." Brianna smiled as she pulled her boyfriend's rip cord.

"Thanks, Bri." Trent sighed in relief.

"No problem." Brianna smiled.


The others watched through binoculars.

"They did it!" Velma beamed once the others landed on the temple safely with their parachutes.

Vincent's jet was seen still flying as the others made it to the temple.

"Now let's hope they can stall Asmodeus long enough for us to get there with all this hunting gear." Fred smiled.

"And stall Asmodeus long enough for us to get there with all this hunting gear." The teen boy commented.

"I just said that!" Fred glared.

"Huh? Oh, sorry," The teen boy replied before yelling out. "I said ' And stall Asmodeus long enough for us to get there with all this hunting gear'."

"Forget it! And don't touch anything back there!" Fred told him as he buckled his seat-belt before driving the van off. "You think we really should've brought him?"

"He's the only one who knows how to use all this crazy junk, so yes." Velma replied.

"Looks like we got a bogey at 12:00!" The teen boy said as he looked over at the computer.

"How did you...?" Cindy began to ask.

The teen boy pointed at the ghost car that had been chasing them ever since they got here.

"This guy!" Fred glared.

"You know him?" The teen boy asked.

"Not really so much of a him, much more of as an it." Velma replied.

"Here it comes!" Fred told the others. "Everybody hang on!"

The car then started to chase after them.

"Don't look!" Cindy soon closed her eyes.

"I'm not!" Fred replied as he had his eyes closed as well.

"Not you!" Jo snapped at him.

"Yak! Yak! Yak!" Ed cried out.

"Who asked you?" Cindy replied.

"No, look out!" The teen boy told them as a yak was passing.

"Yakkity Yak, don't talk back!" Ed called out.

The van drove by in front of the yak while the other car drove through the Yakgurt caravan.

"He's gaining on us!" The teen boy told them.

Fred pulled the clutch to go faster, but the other car was still chasing after them.

"Go left! Go left!" Abbey called out.

"Since when do you know how to drive?" Eddy asked Abbey.

"My parents." Abbey replied.

"And besides, we can't drive on that." Double D cautioned.

"Just trust us." The teen boy told them.

Fred soon drove the van to the left of the edge as the demon car chased them down. The demon car soon ended up in the snow while they were falling off the ledge before landing on a hill as they rode down back on the snow covered road. The demon car then followed them while under the snow in a Bugs Bunny fashion.

"That was amazing!" Fred smiled.

"You ain't seen nuthin' yet!" The teen boy smiled back. He then typed something in on the computer and pressed a key as what appeared to look like marbles came out of the van out onto the road, but the demon car dodged them. "And the piece 'de resistance..." The teen boy continued with a French accent.

Smoke soon came out from the tires to block the demon car's windows. The demon car soon flew off of the ledge as the van drove by the snowy bridge. The demon car zipped down the hill and soon crashed against a ledge, getting buried in snow.

"Whoa! That was incredible!" Eddy beamed.

"How'd you know how to do all that?" Double D asked the teen boy.

"Well, it's not my first time in a strategic altering mobile command unit." The teen boy smiled as he leaned back before the van drove across the bridge.

Fred then drove on ahead as they were now in front of the temple.

"Now we just have to figure out a way to get inside." Cindy told the others.

"Leave that to me." Abbey soon said before she took off her medallion and she was now back in her monster form.

"How smart is this Ghoulia girl?" Cindy asked.

"She's smartest ghoul in Monster High." Abbey smiled as she walked off.

The others looked to each other before looking to the yeti girl to see what she would do.


Meanwhile, inside of the temple, the others crept along while looking around for anything dangerous, very quietly. Daphne stopped them as she thought she heard something before looking around the room. They then kept going until Daphne suddenly stopped which made the others bump into her.

"Scooby? Did you take off your parachute?" Daphne asked.

"Uh... Yep!" Scooby replied.

Brianna looked down to see Scooby still had his parachute, so she stepped on it, making him trip over it.

"Uh, nope!" Scooby then said.

"Scooby..." Brianna sighed.

"Shh! Like, would you guys keep it down?" Shaggy shushed.

"What is it, Shaggy?" Mike asked.

"I'm trying to hear what Vincent and Asmodeus are talking about." Shaggy replied.

"Uncle Vince?" Vinny blinked before taking a look with the others down below.

"Then take it! Strike me down and take it if that's what you wish!" Vincent told Asmodeus as he held the Chest of Demons.

"I won't!" Asmodeus replied.

"That's right, because the chest can only be opened by the living!" Vincent replied. "You need me!"

"Nonsense! Now hand me over the chest!" Asmodeus demanded.

"We have to do something!" Daphne told the others.

Scooby soon unbuckled his parachute.

"That gives me an idea." Brianna said.

With the other group, Abbey and the teen boy melted the door.

"Unbelievable." Fred commented.

"Ancient family secret." Abbey smiled.

"And this stuff melts anything!" The teen boy added, taking out a bottle.

They soon heard some echoing voices.

"Come on!" Velma told the others before they rushed off together.

Vincent was backing up from Asmodeus who was attacking him, shooting fire from his mouth. "I would've thought all this toying around was beneath you!" he called out as he ran. "Maybe the King of Demons isn't quite the great, fearsome monster we thought he was!"

The demon then roared at him.

"Let us be done with this," Vincent begged. "I've lost everything to you in decades, old fights starting with mine and my sister's best friend! If Mortifer were here-"

"Well, he isn't, is he?!" Asmodeus sneered.

Trigon soon came out as Vincent ran from the incoming fireball. Jo looked a bit sickly like she used up a lot of energy once she let loose her demonic uncle.

"Uh, is she okay?" The teen boy asked about Jo.

"Yes, she just used a lot of energy today." Double D replied.

"Gosh..." The teen boy said.

"Eh, she'll be fine later on," Eddy told him. "This happens all the time."

"Are you sure?" Abbey asked.

"Yeah, she's tougher than she looks." Eddy reassured.

"I don't know, she looks a little sick." Abbey pointed out.

"I'll be fine." Jo said as she slowly got up.

"Jo, are you crazy?!" Cindy asked her. "You shouldn't get up right now in your condition!"

"I said I'm fine!" Jo told her.

Jo weakly walked to the battlefield, but she could barely walk over there. Dee Dee and June saw her walking, and it looks like the jockette was going to pass out which made them look at her with wide eyes.

"Oh, no," June muttered before yelping. "Jo! Get out of there!"

"June, what's going on?" Mike asked her best friend.

"Jo is going to get herself killed," June said. "She used all of the energy she had left to summon Trigon, and now she's walking over there. She can barely stand up."

Mike looked over to see Jo panting heavily and fell on the ground, struggling to get up.

"Come on, Jo, you need to sit down." Mike told her.

"I told you I'm fine!" Jo replied.

"No, listen to me, you're not," Mike told her. "If you don't sit down right now, you could die. You should sit down for a minute."

"I'm fine." Jo said.

"Jo, don't argue with me!" Mike replied.

"Look, I'm fine, see?!" Jo glared.

Mike looked down to see her legs were shaking, and looked up to see the jockette's face which was sickly pale.

"Jo. You are not fine," Cindy told the jockette. "You are going to sit down or lie down, and you are going to heal. You are not well right now."

"You're not my boss." Jo told her.

"Well, you are unstable, and I am," Cindy replied before yelling at her. "'SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO WHATEVER I HAVE TO SAY!" she then scolded. "If you don't sit down right now, you'll get yourself killed! You summoned your Uncle Trigon, SO LIE DOWN, GET SOME REST, AND JUST DO IT, ALRIGHT?!"

"...Okay." Jo soon said.

"GOOD!" Cindy told her.

Jo was soon put to sit down and closed her eyes as she seemed to fall asleep.


Jo opened her eyes suddenly and looked around as she suddenly found herself in a realm of darkness.

"Huh... Funny seeing you here." A girl's voice said.

Jo turned her head and soon looked to see a certain blue-haired girl: Botan.

"What the-?!" Jo yelped. "What are you doing here?! Oh, my God, I'm dead, aren't I?"

"Well... Not yet, anyway." Botan replied.

"Oh, that's fantastic," Jo commented. "I can't spend the rest of my life as a ghost!"

"Did I say that?" Botan narrowed her eyes.

"Well, no..." Jo soon said softly.

"You shouldn't summon Trigon too much, especially in the same day," Botan suggested. "It'll waste too much of your demon energy and even cause you to die."

"I had no choice," Jo replied. "I wasn't going to let my friends die."

"Or you could've had them use their own abilities and wait a little," Botan told her. "Right now, you're in Limbo."

"What does that mean?" Jo asked.

"Basically God and Satan are gonna talk over who keeps you for eternity when you do die or whether it's your time or not." Botan explained.

"Dammit," Jo growled. "How long is this gonna take?"

"Hmm... Usually it's a half hour sometimes." Botan replied.

"Why is this happening to me?" Jo asked.

"Well, like I said, you summoned Trigon a lot, and also, it's a very slim chance that a demon will go into Heaven," Botan said. "Also, you need to cool down a bit, especially with that anger of yours to your friends."

"What are you talking about?!" Jo glared from that slightly.

"Look, I know you've had a bad childhood, I get that, really, I do," Botan told her. "But your friends are there just to try to help you, and you just toss them aside so you can come out on top."

"Ah, what do you know anyway?" Jo huffed as she turned away from Botan.

"Because Hiei is the same way as you are," Botan told her. "He gets annoyed a lot with Yusuke and Kuwabara just like you do with Duncan and Eddy, but deep down inside, you two both care about your friends."

Jo looked away with shadows covering her eyes as she was thinking about her friends and they accepted her, despite who she was. Botan nodded firmly and soon walked off to leave Jo alone with her thoughts.

"I'm sorry," Jo soon had tears running down her face. "I don't want to die early, I just wanna be back with my friends!"

"I'm sorry, Jo, but it's not up to me... It is up to the judges." Botan replied.


Two lights soon then appeared which only meant one thing.

"Well, it looks like they've already made their decision." Botan remarked.

"Well, what did they decide?" Jo asked.

"Will you be patient?" Botan glared slightly. "That's the problem with you sometimes."

"Sorry..." Jo said, but in her mind, she was already scared of what decision would be made about her fate.

Botan soon walked off to meet God and Satan to see what was going on. As Jo waited, she turned over to hear some water and saw that it was a river with a cloaked figure on a boat and the boat said 'RIVER STYX'.

"I want to live again to see my friends, my family, and Justine," Jo begged as she felt so alone right now as tears ran down her face. "I want to help defeat the Darkstar Council so we can all finally live in peace."
