A/N: Hello, everyone. Sorry I took so long, but I finally finished the rest of these chapters. If there are any details you should know about as to why I set thing the way they are in my story, I'll explain in a certain chapter. For example, given the fact that the Bad Omens' seemed to have reprehensible behavior, due to feelings of superiority, although it's not always shown, I figured that someone needed to give them a hard time, much less surprise them.
Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire
Chapter 3: Attack of the Wildwind Vampires
Later, the dingos gathered at the top of Vampire Rock before they then howled, inadvertently causing Googie to feel the urge to transform again as Ben took notice after hearing the dingos howl.
"Oh, no. It's happening again.", Googie exclaimed in worry before she then unwillingly grew wolf fur, a cute wolf nose, a wolf tail, wolf ears, fangs, and claws, surprisingly leaving her current rock uniform unaffected.
"Awoooooo-Oh, man.", Googie groaned.
"Well, on the bright side, at least you didn't get all crazy like last time.", Scrappy assured.
"Googie. Are you all right?", Ben asked.
"Other than the last time this happened? Doing great.", Googie grinned in reply.
"What exactly happened last time?", Ben asked.
"Like, the moment the dingo dogs howled last time, Googie went as wild as an angry bulldog.", Shaggy replied.
"The strangest thing was she wasn't attacking us, and after the Yowie Yahoo left, Googie snapped back in control.", Daphne added.
"And she didn't even go after us even when she went wild.", Scrappy added.
"And I think I know why.", Ben responded.
"What do you mean?", Googie asked.
"I've kept tabs on certain pages about vampire research in my spare time and noticed an important factor that keeps the Yowie Yahoo at bay: the dingo dogs. Apparently, they safeguard the rock from any intruding humans to warn them, so they wouldn't become his minions, and more than that, they also attack the vampire and/or minions if need be. I wasn't quite sure how it would affect your werewolf side, given your magical Wiccan powers, but now I know.", Ben replied.
"Wait. Are you saying..?", Googie began to realize.
"Every time you hear the dingo dogs of Vampire Rock howl, it triggers your transformation into a werewolf involuntarily and makes you wild in the event that the Yowie Yahoo himself, or at least a handful of his minions, are present, making them the primary target.", Ben explained.
"Huh. I guess that explains what happened a few hours ago.", the werewolf shrugged in realization before changing back to normal.
"Guess I need to be careful around them. I still haven't gotten used to going that wild just yet.", Googie decided.
"That would be an excellent choice.", Ben agreed as Velma had trouble balancing herself in new shoes.
"How do rock stars walk in these?", Velma asked as she tried to keep her balance with the microphone stand.
"Pretend they're high heels.", Daphne replied.
"I'm not good at those either.", Velma responded before she then turned to Shaggy, who had difficulty tinny his guitar, that is, without a string breaking apart.
Then, Crystal and Amber (still in their normal attire as a human and a pet dog) were playing a sort of instrument as it played music without it even being touched.
"Wow. At least they've got that part down.", Googie grinned.
"How about you, Scoob?", Lena asked.
Scooby was seen drumming away on the drum set, before he inadvertently dislodged a cymbal from its stand, causing it to land on Scooby's head only for it to land on Scrappy's palm of his paw as he saw it coming.
"Ta da!", Scrappy spoke up.
"Whoa. Nice catch, Scrappy. So, what do you think, Freddie?", asked Googie.
"I don't know how well we'll play, but at least we look the part.", Fred replied.
"I hope we don't have to play at all.", Velma worried.
"Come on, Velma. I thought you loved to sing.", Scrappy spoke.
"Not in front of so many people. I get stage fright.", Velma explained.
"Well, I get vampire fright.", Shaggy joked with a slight scoff before Scooby then played a rimshot on the drum set and chuckled.
"Nice use of the rimshot, Scooby. Maybe you really could be a great drummer, given you have enough practice.", Googie complimented, earning Scooby's blush.
"Aw. Thank you.", Scooby blushed.
"Well, what can I say, Uncle Scoob? We've picked quite the charmer to tag along with us.", Scrappy responded.
"Hey. Look at this.", Daphne spoke as she noticed a sort of white dust on one of the speakers and walked up to it before brushing it off with her gloved fingers.
"What is it?", asked Ben as he and Velma walked up to her.
"Makeup?", Velma puzzled.
"Stage makeup, actually. So, the audience can see you better.", Daphne stated.
"Now, what would stage makeup be doin' here?", Lena wondered.
"Like, Matt Marvelous was a musician.", Shaggy stated.
"Still, I'm not so sure that he even needed to wear that color, Shaggy.", Crystal responded.
"In any case, it's glowing white.", Daphne added just before Fred saw something else.
"And look at this. It's a footprint. From a hiking boot, to be exact.", Fred stated before he then picked up a sample and squeezed it between two fingers before noticing how sticky it was, although it isn't exactly like glue.
"Wow, that's strange.", Fred commented.
"How so?", asked Velma.
"The print is sticky like glue. But it's not glue exactly, I... I don't know what it is.", Fred replied.
"It could be from a red gum tree not far from here. I was also doing a bit of exploring around the area before we began setting up the music festival.", Ben explained just before Jasper and the Bad Omens arrived via golf cart.
"You're the new competition?", Jasper puzzled.
"Yeah. We're taking Matt Marvelous' place in the contest.", Fred replied, earning jeering laughter from the Bad Omens.
"Oh. You must be the Bad Omens and their manager, Jasper Ridgeway. Russell told us all about you.", Ben greeted.
"Whoever heard of a band with a couple of dogs in it?", the band member named King asked, puzzling Scooby before he grew peeved and played the drums only for the cymbals to fall off as well as the drum set.
"Good try, though.", Scrappy complimented.
"Why don't you amateurs take a break?", discouraged the third band member known as Queen, inadvertently angering Googie as she suddenly began growling fiercely like a savage wolf.
"Yeah. It's time for a real band to play.", Jack concurred.
"WE ARE NOT AMATEURS! I'll have you know that I'm playing as a guest member for the Hex Girls!", Googie shouted at Jack with a puff of air, blowing out some air at the Bad Omens while also surprising Jasper.
"You?! Performing with the Hex Girls?", Jasper exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's right, and if you've got a problem with that, well, you can go from 'g'day' to 'Goodbye', buster!", Googie replied aggressively before Googie quickly realized her outburst.
"What the? I haven't flipped out like that before.", Googie spoke in surprise.
"I know. That's not like you.", Scrappy agreed.
"I agree that it is a bit territorial on your part.", Ben concurred.
"Let's go, gang. We need to set up camp for the night, anyway.", Fred spoke.
"Yeah. Anything to clear my head right about now.", Googie nodded.
"Camping? How primitive. I choose to travel in a fully-furnished, air-conditioned trailer.", Jasper snorted as he got out a sort of tissue paper for his head.
"Russell also told us about another band you used to manage back in the day. Wildwind, to be exact.", Ben stated.
"Yes. They were true superstars. I had such high hopes for them, until that fateful night...last year.", Jasper spoke, beginning to sob a bit.
"Do you know anything about what could've happened to them?", Ben asked.
"Yeah, but... I don't like to talk about it. It's just too upsetting.", Jasper replied dramatically before getting out of it really quickly.
"Well, back to the trailer. I can't take this heat any longer. Enjoy your rehearsal.", Jasper spoke next before he then started driving away, only for it to stop a bit.
"Stupid golf cart!", Jasper exclaimed as he banged on it to get the golf cart going before driving away, leaving behind some smoke right at the gang, Ben included.
"Nice to meet you, too.", Fred coughed.
"Don't worry, guys. I got this.", Googie assured as she turned into a werewolf before taking a big huff of air before puffing it out, blowing the smoke down until it disappeared.
"There. That's better.", Googie grinned as she then turned back to normal.
"So, what's the plan?", asked Crystal.
"Let's get out of these costumes and start looking for clues.", Velma spoke up before she tried to walk only to lose her balance before Daphne caught her by the arms.
"And get you into more comfortable shoes.", Daphne added.
"Agreed.", Ben nodded.
Later, the gang were back in their clothes with Ben coming along with them.
"I think we may have met our so-called vampires.", Fred spoke up.
"You mean the Bad Omens?", Velma puzzled.
"Exactly. Jasper Ridgeway seems like the kind of guy who'd do anything to have his band win.", Fred replied.
"You think he put them up to it?", Lena asked.
"Mm-Hmm.", Fred nodded.
"Still, I don't think he'd be that desperate. My wolf nose can tell if he's hiding something, but so far, nothing that's really fishy.", Googie admitted as her nose became a wolf nose briefly before going back to normal just as Shaggy and Scooby noticed the concession stands as Googie also noticed them with one of the stands housing small fish sticks.
"Speaking of 'fishy'.", Googie stated as Scooby and Shaggy practically rubbed their hands together, their tongues sticking out in anticipation.
"Still, the Makeup the Bad Omens were wearing looks like the stage makeup I found.", Daphne stated.
"Like, maybe we should talk to Daniel and Russell later and find out more about them.", Crystal suggested.
"And I bet that Jasper's trailer could tell us a thing or two.", Ben added.
"Heh. You took the words right out of my mouth, Ben.", Scrappy grinned.
"Yeah. Let's check it out.", Fred agreed with a decision before turning to Shaggy, Scooby and the others.
"Shaggy and Scooby, you, Scrappy, and the other girls see what you can dig up around here.", Fred suggested before Shaggy and Scooby turned back around to face Fred as Googie replied.
"Got it, Freddie. We'll leave no stone unturned on our end.", Googie assured with a salute
"And, like, while we're at it, we'll leave no snow cone unturned.", Shaggy added as he and Scooby saluted as well.
Later, at Jasper's trailer, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Lena, and Ben walked over to it and saw it for themselves.
"Jasper wasn't kidding when he said he travels in style.", Daphne commented.
"If you think it's stylish now, wait until you see the inside.", Ben responded.
"Speaking of which, we've got to get a look inside.", Fred added.
"How are we going to do that?", asked Lena.
"We need to lure him out. And I've got a plan.", Fred replied.
"Fred?", Velma spoke up first.
"Wait. This is brilliant. I'm gonna go off into those bushes over there and imitate the call of the wild kookaburra.", Fred continued.
"Uh, Fred?", Ben spoke up next.
"Hold on, Ben. I'm on a roll. Now, Daphne, I want you to disguise yourself as an aboriginal medicine woman and...", Fred continued before both Ben and Velma shouted to him.
"Fred!", Ben and Velma shouted.
"What?", asked Fred.
"We could just go in right now, you know.", Ben stated, making Fred give a look of sheepishness before speaking.
"Or that.", Fred spoke.
Then, Fred, Daphne, Ben, Velma, and Lena went inside the trailer but not before Fred looked around for anyone inside and saw no one in there.
"All clear.", Fred assured before the group went inside.
"This place is better than any museum.", Lena commented.
"Whoa. Totally retro.", Daphne commented.
"You're tellin' me.", Fred agreed as he looked through a lava lamp.
"Look, it's a waterbed.", Daphne giggled as she felt it before landing in it.
"It seems like Jasper isn't the sort of guy to let go of the past.", Ben guessed as Velma noticed a picture of him and Wildwind.
"In more ways than one.", Velma agreed as Fred looked outside through a window and saw no one coming for the moment, but decided to be cautious.
"Come on, gang. We've got to work fast. Jasper could show up at any minute.", Fred urged.
"There's so much stuff in here, it's going to be hard to tell the clues from the collectibles.", Daphne commented as she got off the waterbed just as Velma opened a door to the cabinet and saw a Dark Skull costume before getting it and the mask out.
"Jinkies! I think I already found one!", Velma exclaimed as she held out the costume.
"Great work, Velma.", Fred congratulated as he walked up to her.
"This looks exactly like the costume Dark Skull of Wildwind wore in that poster.", Velma stated.
"You're right. It does.", Lena agreed as Fred got our costumes for Stormy Weathers and Lightning Strikes.
"The costumes for Lightning Strikes and Stormy Weathers are in here, too.", Fred added.
"If I were to guess, I'd say that Jasper Ridgeway has reproductions of all the Wildwind costumes.", Ben guessed.
"Interesting.", Velma commented before she turned to Daphne holding the Dark Skull costume and mask before she then took a picture.
Meanwhile, Shaggy, Scooby, Googie, Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber were eating food, although Crystal, Amber, and Scrappy were the only ones who had normal appetites while the rest of the group had big appetites as Scooby was spreading strawberry jam on the bread as Shaggy spoke.
"They call this Australian bread 'damper'. But, like, it's sure not putting a damper on my appetite.", Shaggy spoke before Scooby ate his jam-covered slice of bread as Shaggy then drank two bottles of sodas at once through straws before tossing them out near the other bottles that he already drank.
Suddenly, a smoke crept up from behind the empty bottles on the ground before it crept up, along with a few certain vampires just behind Shaggy and Googie, who was eating a big sandwich before slurping her mouth with her tongue.
"That wasn't half bad.", Googie grinned.
"Like, what's next, old buddy?", asked Shaggy before Scooby took notice of the vampires behind both Shaggy and Scooby as did Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber, although only Scooby hid underneath the table while Crystal and Amber backed away just as Scrappy gave a growl.
"Vampires.", Scooby, Crystal, and Amber spoke while pointing to them.
"Vampires?", Googie puzzled before she realized something.
"Wait a minute. They're right behind us, aren't they?", Googie realized before the vampiric Dark Skull "uh-huh'd" in reply just as Lightning Strikes places his hands on Shaggy's shoulders.
"Zoinks! Like, now, I'm not hungry at all!", Shaggy exclaimed in panic.
"Lucky for us, there's a full moon tonight. Bad news for vampire bozos like you guys.", Googie smirked before she then grew wolf fur and claws on her fingernails as her right arm grew some inches and she then grew a cute wolf nose and fangs as she growled while her whole body grew the same wolf fur and her toenails grew claws before her feet grew bigger, tearing off the top of her shoes before she then roared mightily at the Wildwind Vampires, literally blowing them away towards the cotton candy concession stand just before she turned to Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, Crystal and Amber.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll give those vampires the fright of a lifetime.", Googie urged as she cracked her knuckles.
"Like, wow. What brawn.", Shaggy spoke in surprise.
"Yeah. Brawn.", Scooby agreed.
"Well, you gotta admire her persistence.", Scrappy commented before the group then ran off as instructed, but just underneath the table before the vampires got back up and went after them, much to the werewolf's behest.
"Hey! You get back here!", Googie shouted as she ran after them.
Then, as the chase began, the table slipped underneath before Shaggy, Scooby, Crystal, Amber, and Scrappy moved faster with the vampires chasing after them, not knowing that Googie was chasing after them. At one point, Shaggy and the others ran for the Tie-Dye tent with the vampires following them as Googie followed in pursuit before they came out of another tent and in another with Shaggy and Crystal coming out of one tent with Stormy Weathers chasing them before Scooby, Amber and Scrappy ran for the subs tent with Dark Skull and Lightning Strikes following them with Googie following them and then out of the pasta tent with Dark Skull chasing Googie, Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber before he realized this error with Shaggy and Scooby chasing him before they stopped with Dark Skull turning to Scooby and Shaggy with a snarl, frightening them before Googie then tapped on Dark Skull's shoulder.
"Excuse me.", Googie spoke up, puzzling the vampire before he turned around and saw Googie roaring at him, making him just as frightened as Shaggy and Scooby before he fled in a panic, making Googie giggle with joy as meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby ran into the Italian Food tent with Dark Skull not far behind before he grew puzzled and looked around before he was dragged to a table by Shaggy, in a waiter's attire as he snapped his fingers before Scooby, in a chef's hat and apron, handing out a plate of spaghetti before he presented it to the famished vampire and then put a lot of garlic powder on the spaghetti as Scooby held it up near Shaggy as they both grinned and winked at each other, that is, until, much to their surprise, Dark Skull ate it all very quickly despite the garlic powder and was now stuffed as the satisfied vampire used one of his claws to clean one of his fangs.
Meanwhile, as Stormy Weathers looked around outside the tent, Shaggy and Scooby ran out of the tent with Stormy Weathers following them just as Googie, Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber noticed them.
"Over here, guys!", the werewolf whispered to Shaggy and Scooby before they hid behind the jewelry stand, apparently on a silver sale as Stormy Weathers neared the stand before Scrappy whispered to the others.
"All right, gang. On the count of three, we launch all that silver. One...two...three!", Scrappy whispered before the group of 6 tosses silver jewelry at Stormy Weathers, who only managed to trip under them towards the trash cans before the group then high-fived each other and ran to the House of Mirrors tent.
When they got here, Scooby looked into a funny mirror and wiggled his fingers a bit just as Googie saw a mirror that made her look taller while Crystal and Amber saw a mirror that made them appear fatter, much to their joy before he and Shaggy laughed as did the others before Googie was the first to notice the vampiric Lightning Strike himself via reflection, which baffled her as Shaggy and Scooby noticed before they then started crying in fear.
"What the? Okay, let's go.", Googie spoke up before she grabbed Shaggy and Scooby as Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber followed them while Lightning Strikes tried to grab them but missed.
Then, the whole group ran from the three vampires straight towards the tanning booth as Googie spoke up.
"I've got an idea, Gang.", the werewolf assured as the group went inside before the three vampires did and looked around before they were quickly pushed by Shaggy (who was now in his swimming clothes), Scooby, Googie (who was not only back to normal, but also in her swimsuit from earlier), Scrappy, Crystal, and Amber straight towards the tanning beds before they closed the tanning beds, with Scooby's assistance before Googie turned the dial from mild to danger as she spoke.
"If it works, we'll know for sure if they're really vampires or not.", Googie spoke up before the tanning beds started shaking.
"Yeah, we should get out of here.", Googie urged before she and the others ran out with Googie and Shaggy back in their normal attire just as smoke started seeping out before the tanning beds opened up with the vampires completely unaffected as they rose up before Stormy Weathers snarled.

Meanwhile, as the Bad Omens performed, Shaggy and Scooby gave a loud yelp, puzzling Jack, who turned around and noticed them along with Scrappy, Googie, Crystal, and Amber.
"What the?", puzzled Jack before the group of 6 burst in with Googie shouting.
"Vampire alert!", Googie shouted, puzzling Queen.
"'Vampire alert'?", puzzled Queen before Shaggy and Scooby ran on top of a drum in their panic and rolled out of the stage as Googie and the others caught up and got out of the stage as well.
Then, a sudden swirl of smoke it erupted upwards with a swarm of bats flying out before it then revealed none other than the Yowie Yahoo, who laughed before flying towards the Bad Omens.
"What is that?", puzzled Queen.
Then, a couple of vampires shrouded in smoke flew past Jack before King and Queen had to run away, but to no avail as they were both caught by the Yowie Yahoo's energy bolt and lifted up as Shaggy, Scooby, and the others noticed with Googie and Scrappy gasping in worry while Scooby and Shaggy panicked and then went back to hiding. Afterwards, Lightning Strikes, Stormy Weathers, and Dark Skull surrounded Jack before they then capture him and the swirling smoke then disappeared, leaving no trace of the Bad Omens anywhere as Googie and Scrappy got back up on stage as did Crystal and Amber just as Fred, Daphne, Velma, Ben, and Lena arrived.
"Gosh, what happened here?", Fred asked.
"Guys! You're not gonna believe what just happened out there!", Googie shouted before Daphne started coughing, probably due to the smoke.
"What's with all this smoke?", Daphne asked.
"It burns my eyes.", Fred added.
"Oh. Right. I'll take care of it for you.", Googie assured before she huffed, puffed, and blew the smoke down, making it better for Fred to see and helping Daphne stop coughing.
"That better?", asked Googie.
"I guess so.", Daphne shrugged slightly.
"Thanks, Googie.", Fred thanked.
"You're welcome.", Googie grinned before she then suddenly picked up a smell of cotton candy.
"What? Uh, am I crazy, or am I smelling something sweet?", Googie asked as she sniffed before Velma replied.
"No, I don't think you are, Googie. In fact, I smell it, too. It's almost like cotton candy.", Velma replied before Shaggy and Scooby popped out from the drum.
"Cotton candy?", Scooby and Shaggy spoke in delighted unison before Fred and the others spotted them.
"Shaggy? And Scooby?", Fred puzzled.
"The Yowie Yahoo and Wildwind showed up and band-napped them.", Googie replied.
"Like, Yeah. Scoob and I thought we were next.", Shaggy added as he and Scooby shivered in fear.
"Yeah.", Scooby whimpered.
"Hmm. Well, there goes our prime suspects.", Fred spoke.
"Hold on a minute. You actually saw them?", Ben asked.
"We both did.", Crystal replied.
"Uh-Huh.", Scooby nodded.
"What did they look like?", asked Fred.
"Exactly like on the poster over there, but scarier, with fangs, claws, and pointy ears all over the place.", Scrappy replied.
"Not to mention those creepy red eyes.", Googie added.
"Yeah, Red.", Scooby agreed.
"Well, whoever it was, they sure did a real bang-up job kidnapping the Bad Omens.", Lena commented before Jasper turned up in his golf cart.
"Kidnapped? Not again. The Bad Omens can't be kidnapped. They need to win the contest.", Jasper spoke up.
"Like, it's a good thing you weren't here, Jasper. Those vampires would've flown off with you, too.", Shaggy assured.
"I wish they had. Now, I'll be plagued by guilt. I should've stayed with them instead of going back to my trailer.", Jasper responded with sadness.
"Trailer?", Fred puzzled before he then grew suspicious.
"What happened here?", asked Daniel as he walked in.
"My band is gone! What are we going to do?!", Jasper sobbed.
"There's strength in numbers. Let's get the Hex Girls and Russel, and then camp in one group.", Fred responded.
"Russell already went home, along with all the other festival staff.", Daniel stated.
"Like, I wish I could say the same thing.", Shaggy responded.
"And if the vampires come back when we're sleeping, what then?", Jasper asked.
"We can take turns standing watch.", Velma replied.
"And you guys have the first tour of duty...", Fred spoke to Scooby and Shaggy, who then pointed to themselves and tried to walk away, only for Fred to grab both Scooby's tail and Shaggy's short by the back, prompting them to run away before Fred spoke further.
"...which starts now.", Fred spoke up.
"Never really thought I'd ask this, but would you guys do I for a Scooby Snack? I'll even stand guard with you guys if you want.", Googie assured as she held out a box of Scooby Snacks.
"While we're at it, how about two?", asked Scrappy added as he held out another.
Then, Shaggy and Scooby gradually ceased their running before they then spoke their answer.
"There might be room in my tummy for a Scooby Snack or two. How about you, Scoob?", Shaggy asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, yeah! Scooby Snack!", Scooby replied after slurping his mouth in anticipation before he and Shaggy opened their mouths wide and then both ate it and swallowed.
"Like, everyone get some rest, because you're being watched over by the best.", Shaggy saluted with a grin before Shaggy and Scooby walked away as Fred shrugged while Crystal, Amber, and Googie giggled while Ben, Daphne, Lena, and Scrappy just grinned.
"Well, I've gotta get ready for my special number with the Hex Girls tomorrow while I'm at it before I stand guard for tonight.", Googie stated as she then walked away in a general direction.
