Chapter 2
And so, the intrepid and enthusiastic teenagers (complete with lovable canine companion and gigantic brooding demon), set off towards the mansion. Freddy, the blonde teen from earlier, was at the wheel of a flowery van, with the two girls sharing the front of the van. The one with glasses, Velma, held a large map, blocking her view of the road ahead, and the redhead, Daphne, was leaning lovingly on Freddy's shoulder. Freddy turned to the rear view mirror. "You guys okay back there?"
Hellboy squinted his eyes as the van hit another bump, smacking his head into the ceiling for the umpteenth time. He nodded, and sarcastically answered, "Yeah, real cozy… just groovy with me."
Of course, nobody understood the joke, especially because Hellboy wasn't heard over the loud munches of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy who were right in front of Hellboy. And packed a very large picnic lunch. Unsurprisingly, they finished in the first ten minutes of the two-hour trip.
Finally, after a long ride, involving sing-alongs, wrong turns, and lots of sarcasm that nobody understood from Hellboy, the troupe arrived at the mansion. Hellboy noticed this even before Velma lowered her giganto-map to see the creepy place, as the sky went from a cheery blue to a dark gray instantly. It was storming conveniently over the mansion. Lovely.
As the van rolled to a stop, Hellboy opened the back door to the van and stretched out, cracking his back, mumbling something about getting back Kate for this. Again, his groans and complaints were not noticed, as the others hopped out of the van and joined him.
The gang headed up to the mansion doors as another bolt of lightning stuck. Scooby let out a 'Reep!', before jumping into Shaggy's arms. As the thunder sounded, Shaggy emitted his own yelp, and jumped into Hellboy's arms. Hellboy rolled his eyes as he looked at the quivering pair in his arms.
"Will you two knock it off? I ain't got any mutant mutt treats to feed you to convince you to get in," Hellboy said, setting them down on the ground. The two continued to shiver in each other's arms, but chances were they were equally afraid of the gigantic red demon and would go inside anyway.
Freddy knocked on the door, which swung open immediately. The room was empty.
"Okay, nobody's home, let's go," Shaggy said, turning on his heel the other way.
"Reah, ret's ro," Scooby echoed, following Shaggy's lead.
There was a pair of voices with the same immediate reaction. "Oh no you don't," came the two, and before the pair of chickens new it, they were walking in place. Velma was holding onto Scooby's tale and Hellboy onto Shaggy's shoulder.
"Yeah, we gotta search this place from top to bottom. So let's split up gang!" Freddy said. He hugged Daphne a little tighter, "Me, Velma and Daphne will take the upstairs level, and Hellboy and… Hellboy?"
The answer to where Hellboy went was answered quickly, as a loud thumping came from not to far away. There was Hellboy, knocking his head against a pillar…
