"What I like to find out," said Velma. "is why these ghosts wants us off the island."
"It's not ghosts, Velma," said Fred. "It's just guys in masks. And they're probably after the pirate's treasure."
"Or, covering up a smuggling operation," said Velma.
"Or," said Fred. "Maybe there's oil under the island."
"Oh, my!" Simone gasped.
The Boo Brothers and Daphne shook their heads in disappointment.
"They're REAL ghosts, you two!" Says Freako.
"We oughta know!" Says Shrieko.
"WE'RE ghosts!" Says Meeko.
"Yeah! Really, guys!" Daphne exclaimed. "For once, can you accept that maybe there are some mysteries that have no rational explanation?"
Fred chuckled nervously.
Meanwhile, Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, Flim Flam and the girls parked the van near the swamp. They are not far from the house, but definitely are far away from the cats.
"Like, this is much better, eh Scoob?" Asks Shaggy.
The boys and girls finished up the remains of the gumbo in each bowl.
"Shaggy, can I ask you something?" Says Sibella.
"Huh? Uh, sure, Sibella." He says.
"This "dead guy" you said was out here. What did he look like?" She says, Shaggy gulps but describes the zombie in detail.
"That sounds like Morgan Moonscar. We read about him when we scoped out the island." Says Elsa.
"And if he's walking around as a zombie? Then something is defiantly wrong." Says Phantasma in a concerned voice.
"It means something bad might happen…" Tanis says. Scrappy goes to comfort her.
"Don't worry Tanis, if anything does happen, me, Uncle Scooby, the gang and the Boo Brothers will take care of it.
"I hope you're right, Scrappy." Tanis says, She then smiles in the knowledge that there's safety in numbers.
"And now, let's not talk about zombies for a moment," Shaggy says. "because we're moving onto the "heat" de resistance."
Then Shaggy picked up two Moonscar Island peppers for him and Scooby while Flim Flam and Scrappy get their own.
Winnie howls and laughs. "We also heard about this islands peppers." She says. "You sure you guys wanna eat those?"
"We can take it." Boasts Flim Flam.
They ate the peppers to see which one of them will withstand the heat.
5 seconds later, Shaggy, Flim Flam and Scrappy become overwhelmed with the heat. They flap their hand to cool themselves down. Scooby chuckles as he reveals that the pepper is inside his mouth, un-chewed.
"Hey, no fair!" Shaggy exclaimed, still panting. "What's the matter? Chicken?"
"Ruh-uh!" said Scooby, shaking his head. He later eats it.
Suddenly, their skin turns boiling red, flames came out of their ears and smoke out of their noses. They scream in pain and rushed out of the van to get a huge drink from the swamp.
Winnie laughs again.
"You can take it, huh?" She says. Flim Flam pulls his head out of the water.
"I'd like to see YOU do any better!" He says.
"Is that a CHALLENGE?" Winnie says.
"Maybe…" Flim Flam says in a daring tone.
"Oh, it is ON!" Says Winnie. "Lemmie at those peppers!"
The other girls just sigh and shake their heads.
Unbeknownst to them, an eery green aura appeared, creeping up behind them. Inside the water, Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy were relieved from the heat and the aura came down and went deep underground. Then, a zombie arises!
The boys scream in fear, making them jump up to the surface.
"ZOINKS!" Shaggy shouted. "Z-Z-ZOMBIES!"
The girls and Flim Flam gasp as zombies arise from their watery graves, from pirates to civil war Confederate soldiers. The aura went into the dry land part of the swamp. More zombies rise from the ground and some of them look like tourists and gangsters.
"Oh boy! This is great!" Says Scrappy.
Normally, the girls would agree, but they worry for their friends' safety and Sibella grabs Scrappy as they, Flim Flam, Scooby and Shaggy run back to the van and attempt to drive away from the zombies. But the van was unable to start as the zombies crawl up to the van.
"Come on, come on!" Says Shaggy.
Finally the car starts and Shaggy drives it as far as they can away from the undead nightmare.
"Whew! Like, I think we ditched them, buddy."
But there came a zombie from the roof, making them scream and drive the van hysterically, thus throwing the zombie to a tree. The headlights showed the zombie knocked away, it appeared to be finally dead, but it came alive once again. Shaggy pushes the pedal to reverse, but the tires got stuck in the mud.
Screaming in terror, they boys got out of the van and ran away, the girls following them. They looked back as they ran, but they bump into a person holding a lantern. The light makes the person look like a zombie, thus the boys runs away once again.
"Wait up!" Shouts Winnie as the girls go after them.
The person turns out to Beau.
In the dining room, everyone gets a slice of pecan pie. Fred eats a piece and enjoys it very much.
"Hey, we should do a segment on Lena's pecan pie, Daph," said Fred. "It's supernatural!"
"You are so corny!" said Daphne.
The crew chuckled heavily. Suddenly, they hear Scooby and Shaggy's screaming once again.
"Now what?" Everyone asked in unison.
The cat screeches and jumps off of Simone's lap.
"I told you the hauntings are just beginning," said Simone.
Fred grabbed his camera and everyone gathers around to get ready to look for the boys and girls.
"Uh, if you ladies will excuse me." Says Fred.
"Lena, get them some lanterns." Says Simone.
"Right away," said Lena. She walks up to Fred. "But please, Fred. You must be careful."
Fred nodded in return.
The gang followed the van's tracks on the ground until they reached the swamp.
Shaggy! Scooby! Where are you?" Velma calls out with no response.
"Flim Flam! Scrappy! Girls!" Freako calls out.
Suddenly, they hear footsteps coming.
"Guys?" Says Velma.
It is Beau.
"So it's you!" Fred exclaimed. "Where's Scooby, Shaggy, Flim Flam, Scrappy and the girls?"
"Your crazy friends are near the bayou screaming about zombies," Beau explained. "I didn't see any."
"You never do," said Velma, suspicious. "And you're never around when those ghosts and zombies appear."
"Yeah!" shouted Fred. "Now, isn't that a coincidence?"
"Save your suspicions for later, guys," said Daphne. Right now, we've got to find Scooby, Flim Flam, Scrappy, the girls and Shaggy. I think we should split up,"
"Good idea," said Fred.
"I'll go with Beau," said Daphne.
"Bad idea." said Fred.
"I'll go with Beau," said Velma. "I won't let him out of my sight."
"We'll go with Daphne and Fred." Says Freako.
