Everyone then heard a screeching sound which made them look up to see the griffin.

"The griffin!" Justine gasped.

'What are you waiting for, directions? DRIIIIIVE!' The GPS said.

Both Fred and Dee Dee took off, driving away from the griffin.

"Look out, Dee Dee!" Justine gasped.

"No worries, I got this!" Dee Dee smiled.

"I sure hope so." Justine replied.

"Trust me, we've been through worse." Dee Dee smiled to the shy beauty.

"Dee, cover us." Taffy said.

"You got it." Dee Dee nodded.

The Dare Twins pulled out their wands and pointed at themselves, changing back to their magician outfits.

"Wow." Justine commented.

"This'll come in handy for later," Taffy said. "Time to show Uncle John what we've learned."

"Right!" Brandie replied.

The griffin screeched and headed towards them. Brandie and Taffy soon jumped out of the Teen Angels' van as they pulled out their magic wands as the griffin flew after them.

"Sounds like this fella needs a time-out." Taffy said.

"You're telling me." Brandie added.

The griffin soon flew over and the Dare twins brought out their wands before shooting magic at the griffin, putting it in a cage which made it come crashing down on the ground, shaking it slightly.

"Now you stay there and think about what you did." Brandie scolded like a mother.

The griffin snarled at her.

"There's no need for salty language." Taffy replied.

The griffin soon began to break out of the cage, bending the bars slightly.

"Uh-oh. You girls need any help?" Justine asked.

"What can you do?" Brandie asked her.

"A lot more than you know," Justine said. "Ever hear of lava-bending?"

"I have. I've been studying about different kinds of bending lately." Dee Dee replied.

"I'm a lava-bender." Justine informed.

"Is that right?" Dee Dee asked.

"Just think of me as a lava, teen girl version of the Human Torch from The Fantastic Four." Justine replied.

"Care to demonstrate?" Dee Dee asked.

"Step back a little." Justine said.

Dee Dee then did as told.

"Lava on!" Justine said, taking a deep breath as she began a being made from molten lava, but it didn't burn her at all.

"Gosh! That's amazing!" Brandie replied.

"Zowie!" Taffy added.

"That doesn't hurt, does it?" Dee Dee asked.

"Not me, but it might hurt you." Justine warned.

"Zowie!" Brandie replied.

The griffin soon screeched and managed to get out of the cage.

"Saw that one coming," Justine replied. "Giant animals don't stay locked up forever."

"Well, how would he like to be tied up?" Taffy commented before using her wand to tie up the griffin.

"So cool." Justine smiled as she watched the Dare twins.

Taffy and Brandie both bowed.

"Thank you, thank you, you're too kind." Brandie smiled.

"We'll be here all week." Taffy added with a laugh.

The griffin shrieked at them.

"Ooh, he's cranky." Taffy chuckled.

The griffin then tried biting them.

"Hey, no biting." Brandie scolded.

"Here, have an apple," Taffy smiled, shoving a giant apple in the griffin's beak, muffling its shrieks. "There, is that better?" she then asked.

The griffin just glared at her.

"I guess not." Brandie and Taffy smirked to each other in unison.

Justine giggled as this was kind of funny.

"Come on, we better catch up with Mystery Inc." Dee Dee suggested to them.

"Buh-bye, griffin." Brandie said before snapping her fingers and made herself and the others teleport back into the van.

Justine blinked and looked around.

"We'll deal with that overgrown turkey later." Taffy smiled to Justine.

"Okay." Justine replied.

Taffy turned around and took her hat off then bowed to the griffin. "Thank you for being our volunteer," she then said. "Come on, Justine." She then used her cape to teleport her and Justine back to the Teen Angels' van.

"Wow! That was so cool!" Justine beamed.

"Yeah, it was," Brandie smiled. "Step on it!"

Dee Dee nodded and pressed on the brakes so they could get caught up with the Mystery Machine.

"Oh, Justine, thank goodness!" Cindy said in relief once she saw the shy beauty was safe and sound.

"Hi, Cindy, did you miss me?" Justine replied.

"Just a little worried, that's all." Cindy replied.

Justine smiled and hugged Cindy good and tight.

"Aw, Justine." Cindy smiled back to that.

"So, where are we going now?" Justine asked.

"Far away from that banshee, I hope." Cindy said.

"Back to the castle! Hurry!" Ella called out.

"Don't worry, kid, we got this." Trent smiled to the young girl.

"I sure hope so." Ella replied.

"Phew! Looks like the Teen Angels didn't get hurt." Brianna said out of relief.

"We're almost there." Cindy said.

"He just never learns." Dee Dee shook her head about the griffin.

Shaggy opened the back door, pointing the staff at the griffin. "So, griffin, like, begone already!" he then demanded.

The griffin soon tried to bite him.

"Like, I think the batteries are dead." Shaggy said about the magic staff.

"What an 'abracatastrophe'." Brenda commented.

"Hey, I put a box of magic explosives in the van for practice on the field." Madelyn said as she brought out a box of smoke bombs.

"Like, Scooby-Doo, let's strike this griffin out." Shaggy then smiled.

"Yeah, strike-out." Scooby added.

Shaggy and Scooby threw the smoke bombs at the griffin. This made colorful smoke foom out.

"It looks like fireworks now." Brianna commented.

"Uh, Fred?" Harold said.

"Yes, Harold?" Fred replied.

"TRUCK!" Harold cried out.

"Gah!" Fred yelped as he didn't see that and soon tried to drive out of the way as the truck honked its horn.

"Phew! That was close." Leshawna gasped out of relief.

"Thanks, Harold." Fred said.

Everyone heard a scream then turned around to see Cindy almost out of the van.

"Oh, my gosh! Cindy!" Justine cried out. "Grab my hand!"

"I can't reach you!" Cindy yelped.

"You gotta try, Cindy, I know you can do it!" Justine told her.

Cindy struggled as she tried her best as she seemed to have a hard time. The griffin was then right behind her and grabbed her hood.

"It got me! You gotta let go and get back to the castle!" Cindy told her.

"Forget that! I'm not letting some creature hurt my friends!" Justine replied.

"What can you do?!" Cindy asked her.

"Don't worry... I just hope I don't miss that bird." Justine said as she soon took out her scepter to shoot lava at the griffin.

"I hope you don't get me," Cindy said. "The last thing I want is to be burnt to a crisp."

"Don't worry, Cindy, I've been training extra hard." Justine replied before she soon took a deep breath and began to shoot lava at the griffin.

The griffin's talons were soon hit which made them open up and drop Cindy through the air. Cindy looked down, realizing that she was in the air, she pulled out a white sign that says 'uh-oh' and fell down in the air.

"I'm gonna crash! I'm gonna crash!" Cindy yelped.

Brandie and Taffy soon jumped out and took out a trampoline to catch Cindy with.

"I haven't even written out my will, but I know that Penn is getting diddly squat!" Cindy continued.

"It's okay, kiddo, we got ya!" Taffy called out to Cindy.

"I hope so!" Cindy called back.

"Just trust us!" Brandie told her.

Cindy soon fell and landed on the trampoline, bouncing a bit, but soon landed safely. Brandie and Taffy smiled to Cindy since she was now safe and sound.

"Oh, sweet ground," Cindy sighed in relief. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, I also dig the magician threads."

"Thanks." Brandie replied.

"They really suit you both," Cindy said. "I guess you're spell casters now?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Taffy replied.

"Sweet." Cindy smiled to them.

Brandie and Taffy then helped Cindy down. The griffin glared at them as it looked like it wanted them dead.

"I don't think he liked that though." Cindy commented.

"Cindy, you're okay!" Justine beamed as she hugged the young girl. "Come on, let's get back to the castle." She then suggested.

"We haven't lost him yet." Dee Dee said.

Whirlen was reading his book and he looked out of the window to see both vans coming back. He then dropped his book then went outside.

"Hurry! Inside!" Daphne cried out.

'Hey, you're gonna leave me out here?!' The GPS complained.

Amos soon looked over to the others until Shaggy, Scooby, and Brenda soon ran into him, knocking him down.

"What's all the ruckus?" Amos demanded.

"That!" Brenda told him, pointing to the sky as the griffin came back yet again.

Amos went inside along with Scooby, Shaggy, and Brenda, but Brenda grabbed something that wasn't the staff and went back inside with the others.

"Let's get this staff right back to Whirlen." Madelyn suggested.

Trixie soon came to the top of the staircase with Whirlen, rubbing her eyes as she was in her nightgown and slippers now.

"Wait... This isn't the staff..." Brenda frowned as she had picked up a pitchfork instead.

"Oh, no!" Madelyn gasped and soon ran outside once she saw the staff outside.

"Madelyn, wait!" Cindy cried out.

"Don't do it!" Shaggy added.

The griffin then swooped down to attack Madelyn. Madelyn yelped as she was soon grabbed, and dropped the staff on the way.

"MADELYN!" Velma cried out for her sister.

"VELMA!" Madelyn called back.

"Oh, no!" Cindy frowned.

Everyone watched in misfortune as Madelyn was carried off just like that.

"Mr. Curdles, events have taken a terrible turn over here," Amos said as he made a call. "You might wanna see for yourself."

At the castle, Fred was putting a whole bunch of magic stuff in a bag.

"I don't understand, why are you taking all of these magic tricks?" Whirlen asked him.

"You shouldn't do that." Trixie frowned.

"These are the only weapons we have against the griffin." Fred told them.

"But you don't even know where the griffin's taken her." Marlon said.

"We have a pretty good idea." Velma replied.

"We believe it's called the Griffin's Roost for a reason." Trent stated.

"The Griffin's Roost? But it's not safe," Marlon replied. "The whole place is liable to crash down on your heads."

"We'll be careful," Fred said. "Besides, if there are any clues, I'm sure we'll find them there."

"Besides, they have us to protect them." Taffy added.

Brandie smiled and nodded in agreement. They soon heard clanging metal behind them.

"Oh, what a knight." Cindy muttered as Shaggy came out in armor with the magic staff at hand.

"Like, I'm ready." Shaggy smiled as he moved the top out of his eyes only for it to fall down again.

"Why are you wearing armor?" Fred asked.

"Because even with this magic doohickey, I need all the protection I can get." Shaggy replied.

"Shaggy the Brave Knight." Brenda giggled.

Shaggy smiled and blushes at the brunette. Whirlen put his hand over his head.

"Uncle Whirlen, are you all right?" Trixie asked out of concern.

"This griffin business has beaten me, Trixie," Whirlen told his niece. "It's time to bring down the curtain on this magic school. My dream."

"No!" Trixie cried out.

They soon heard someone clapping and looked over to the door to see a certain man had come back.

"Oh, great... Him..." Cindy glared.

"Touching. Touching. Your most heartfelt performance, Whirlen," Mr. Curdles smirked as he walked over with a paper to be signed. "Now, rejoice. Kindly Calvin Curdles is here with the silver lining to your cloud of despair."

"How did you get in?" Zatanna asked.

"Through the door," Mr. Curdles replied. "I'm prepared to take this monster-blighted castle off your hands. I'll even give you a third-No, no, no. Make that an eighth of what you paid for it."

"Hmph. I wonder if this guy is related to Chris?" Leshawna scoffed.

Mr. Curdles then slid the papers in front of Whirlen.

"Well, this is hardly the time for real-estate transactions." Marlon glared as Vernon let out a roar.

"When it comes to business matters, Calvin Curdles was never one to consider people's feelings." Alma replied.

"Now, now, Alma, perhaps I'm doing us all a favor," Mr. Curdles replied. "You've said there was no griffin before these two took over the castle."

"But we're not to blame." Marlon replied.

"It's okay, Marlon," Whirlen said before magicking up a pen. "Where do I sign?"

Mr. Curdles then held out the papers for the magic man.

"I think you should wait 'til we get back," Cindy interjected. "There's more to this griffin business than meets the eye."

"I really don't like her." Mr. Curdles grumbled to himself.

"Just gives us an hour." Trent commented.

"Let's go, guys." Dee Dee said.

And with that, the groups soon walked off to go griffin hunting. Vernon still growled as he sat by Whirlen.

"Uncle Whirlen, please, you can't shut down the school," Trixie frowned. "How else am I supposed to learn magic while Migmar is on vacation?"

"I don't know, honey." Whirlen frowned to his niece.

John got up from his spot and walked away, smoking another cigarette.

"Where are you going?" Zatanna asked him.

"Following them just in case they need any help." John replied.

"John, be careful." Zatanna said.

"Are you forgetting who you're dealing with, Z?" John replied.

"Maybe I should go with you?" Zatanna suggested.

"Sorry, luv, but someone has to stay here, protecting the young ones just in case that griffin comes back here." John replied.

Zatanna sighed as John soon walked off.

"Ella, you go back with Trixie," Leshawna told her little cousin. "It might be too dangerous. You're only six."

"But I wanna help." Ella pouted.

"I'm sorry, Ella, but I think your cousin might be right." Crystal told her younger daughter.

"Oh, all right... But promise me that you'll be careful." Ella pouted.

"Ella, I'm almost an adult now, I'll be fine." Leshawna told her little cousin.

Ella smiled and hugged her big cousin before catching up to the others.

"I'll see ya later, Aunt Crystal." Leshawna said.

"All right, Shawna, you look out for your friends now." Crystal told her niece.

"Of course." Leshawna smiled before leaving with the others.

"Don't worry, ma'am. She's got me to protect her." Harold added.
