It got to later and Eric and Jessica decided to give their friends/family a tour. However, while they did, the Phantom Virus seemed to appear. He snuck to the computers and he did a little of type work and it summoned eight kids: It was the Sugar Rush racers from Jessica's game, except for one.
"Wh-What's going on?" the blonde one known as Rancis Fluggerbutter asked.
"What'd just happened!?" the one called Snowanna Rainbeau added in fright.
"Silence, you're all going to work for me, just like your little friend..." the Phantom Virus grinned to them.
"Friend?" the racers asked.
Taffyta Muttonfudge came by the virus's side, looking evil like she used to as she sucked her lollipop slowly. "Hello, old friends..." she greeted evilly.
This caused for the racers to gasp as they saw Taffyta.
"W-We thought you h-had vanished!" Snowanna Rainbeau said out of fear.
"I did..." Taffyta said as she licked her lollipop, looking like the icy girl Cherry suspected her to be. "I just couldn't let you all let a glitch boss you all around."
"You leave Vanellope alone!" Rancis sounded suddenly protective of the princess of their game.
"Someone's defensive..." Taffyta chuckled. "You're all gonna do what we say... Unless of course, you'd like to be erased from existence..." she threatened darkly.
The racers gasped again then.
"Y-You wouldn't!" Gloyd Orangeboar cried.
"We would..." the Phantom Virus grinned darkly to them.
The racers looked to each other, then hung their heads.
"Okay, we'll do whatever you say." Gloyd Orangeboar said.
Minty Zaki clung to Swizzle 'The Swizz' Malarkey, nodding as well. "Just don't erase us."
"Excellent work, my dear... Now we are to be rid of that pesky Mystery Inc and their friends..." the Phantom Virus said with a demented grin before laughing with his sidekick, Taffyta.
Meanwhile...
Fred walked with a magnet ahead of the gang as they went along to search the school.
"This building is so big!" Daphne gasped. "This Phantom Virus could be anywhere."
"Sounds like a good time to split up." Cherry suggested.
"I was just thinking the same thing." Fred agreed.
"Me and Patch will go with Shaggy and Scooby." Atticus said.
Shaggy and Scooby went with Atticus and Patch.
"Hey, you guys, I didn't say how we were gonna split up." Fred stopped them.
Shaggy looked back. "Like, do we do it any other way?"
Fred shrugged as he went off with the girls. Fred and the girls went to the basement.
"Why do we have to start in the basement?" Daphne complained.
"We have to search the whole building, top to bottom." Velma reminded her.
Cherry looked around the old-time technology.
"That stuff looks like it belongs in the Smithsonian." Fred commented when he pulled back a tarp.
"Why do they bother keeping this old junk?" Daphne nearly scoffed.
"I don't know some of this old junk might be very valuable." Velma said as she picked up a book and blew off some dust from it, unknowing the dust would end up in the face of the Phantom Virus.
The virus seemed to sneeze suddenly.
"Gesundheit." Cherry said without looking back, but what Velma said, got her attention.
"Jinkies, it's him!"
The virus took out one finger, showing electrical sparks and laughed wickedly.
"Watch out!" Fred cried.
Cherry picked up the magnet that Velma put down on the floor and used it against the virus, looking stoic as always. The magnet began to take its effects on him as he began to look like he was fizzing and getting weaker and weaker. Taffyta suddenly showed up and got the Phantom Virus away from the magnet.
"Little girl, I don't know where you came from, but you better get going!" Fred warned her.
"Why should I?" Taffyta grinned evilly. "My friend needs some help, that's what friends do, they help each other!"
Cherry glared at her. "Taffyta Muttonfudge, I knew you were just a sour patch kid!"
"Yeah and there's nothing you can do to stop us!" Taffyta grinned eagerly and villainously.
"Wait, that's Taffyta?" Daphne asked, surprised. "From the video game: Sugar Rush?"
"Yeah," Cherry was angry. "What're you doing, working with the Phantom Virus?"
"You and your friends Atticus and Wreck-it-Ralph ruined my life," Taffyta narrowed her sky blue eyes at the human girl, storming closer and closer to her. "Before Vanellope was found out to be our princess, I was the boss... I made all the rules... Next to King Candy of course... And now he's gone... He was like the father I was never programmed with... You killed my father!"
"That was for your own good, he was going to destroy the whole arcade with the Cy-Bugs from Hero's Duty!" Cherry defended.
"YOU ERASED HIM AND NOW WE'RE GONNA ERASE YOU!" Taffyta screeched.
Fred, Velma, and Daphne began to come to Cherry's side with their magnets.
"Get back, you creepy... Thingy!" Daphne threatened.
Fred gave an amused smirk while Cherry had a deadpan look as if to say 'is that the best you could come up with?'.
"You'll pay for this!" the Phantom Virus hissed.
"We don't think so!" Daphne exclaimed.
"Thingy." Fred added with a teasing smile to his crush.
Daphne glared at him while Velma chuckled and Cherry giggled. The Phantom Virus and Taffyta both began to get away.
The Phantom Virus snarled and tried to limp away. "Come, Taffy girl!"
Taffyta stuck her tongue out. "This isn't over, 'Cherry'..." she mocked the goth girl before going off with her new 'Master'.
"After him!" Fred commanded, making everyone follow him.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria, Shaggy, Scooby, Atticus, and Patch decided to get some dinner while the other students glanced at them with their monstrous eating habits. Mostly at Shaggy and Scooby while Atticus and Patch didn't seem like they were going to over do it with the food.
Shaggy saw a couple of students getting out of the cafeteria as he got a hot dog and put whipped cream on top of it. "I wonder why they left."
"Ri ron't row." Scooby shrugged his shoulders with his mouth full.
"I can think of a few things why." Patch whispered.
"It is amazing of how much food you two can eat, if you two were as strong as you are hungry, all four of us would be able to play tug-of-war." Atticus said.
"Like, that would be fun, but maybe if we get enough strength as you guys." Shaggy said, not wanting to burst their bubble, but since he and Scooby weren't that strong, it would be unfair.
"Reah!" Scooby agreed as he shook up the can of whipped cream to squirt some in his mouth, but he had blown it the wrong way, making it sploosh onto his face and it made Shaggy look different. "Ranta Raus!" he giggled before licking his human best friend's face.
Atticus giggled.
"He really does look like Father Christmas!" Patch added with a smile.
Shaggy just sat there as Scooby licked him, at least they could eat lunch without any disturbance.
Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Cherry looked around.
"I think we lost them." Fred said as he looked around with them, but he made them stop when he looked ahead and saw a flashlight.
"What do we do?" Daphne asked.
"Get as close as we can and use those magnets, I don't know about Taffyta, but it should hold 'em off." Cherry suggested.
"Right." Fred agreed.
All four of them then got to a corner to wait for the right moment to attack.
"Ready..." Fred said to the girls before they went off. "One... Two... Three!"
The four of them went to use their magnets.
The light was revealed to be a flashlight and the security guard flicked on the light switch, glaring at them. "I thought I heard some noise down here... What're you kids doing? The basement's for staff only."
"We're hunting for the Phantom Virus and Taffyta Muttonfudge." Velma explained.
"Yeah, I heard about that so-called virus and that diabetes infested brat," the guard folded his arms. "I think it's some kind of college prank."
"Oh, no, no, Officer, you... We were just..." Fred tried to explain as best as he could.
"You kids are coming with me," Officer Wembley firmly told them. Back to Kaufman's lab."
Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Cherry glanced to each other in silence before they were taken away.
Back in the Cafeteria...
"Can you believe that cafeteria ran out of food?" Shaggy asked with a full belly with Scooby. "And we're still hungry!"
"Reah, rungry!" Scooby added.
"I'm surprised that you both aren't full yet." Patch said.
"Same with me, I think you ate absolutely everything in the cafeteria." Atticus added.
Suddenly a blue spark came up, showing the Phantom Virus with Taffyta on his shoulder.
"Hello, Atticus..." Taffyta greeted as she licked her lollipop, looking pure evil.
Scooby saw them and tried to get Shaggy's attention.
"Taffyta!?" Atticus gasped before asking. "How in the world did you get here and why are you with the Phantom?"
"Never mind that now, you and your cowardly friends are FINISHED!" Taffyta grinned crazily.
Scooby and Shaggy instantly began to run for their lives. The Phantom Virus laughed with Taffyta and ran after them. Atticus and Patch then ran with them to protect Shaggy and Scooby.
