Along the way back to the hotel, Danny had told them all about the spectral energy he picked up back at the castle indicating there may be a ghost involved in all this. As soon as they arrived back at the hotel, Danny changed back into his human form and they all walked through the front door and entered.
Emil then came out and said, "Ah Mystery Inc and Team Phantom! You all seem rather cheery. Good news I hope"
"We have hit a clue smorgasbord" Fred said and then Velma showed him the relic in her hands. Danny then said, "Not only that we have some evidence that it's possible a ghost is also involved in this"
"So far we have three suspects to whose behind this evil plan" Daphne said.
"First there's Nagoo Tahuna" Sam started. "He believes that you built Spooky Island on enchanted ground to some sort of race of ancient creatures"
"The voodoo man who shrewdly tricked me into going into the castle" Daphne then added.
"And finally you" Fred said as he pointed to Emil.
"Me?" Emil stuttered completely shocked as Fred continued, "Alright gang let's split up and meet back here in half an hour. I am going to interview employees around here to see if they noticed anything weird"
"I'm gonna get to work translating these inscriptions that Daphne and Danny found" Velma said.
"Danny and I will also check to see if maybe this relic is anywhere in any books I have on relics or anything from the Ghost Zone" Sam said.
"I'll go research cults on the net" Daphne said and then she and Velma high fived each other and then they all left.
"I'm a suspect?" Emil asked still completely shocked.
"Don't take it personally. It's mostly because you creep me out" Fred said.
"Oh I see" Emil said and just shrugged it off.
Danny and Sam went to their hotel room and Sam immediately pulled out her books on relics and started reading. Danny got on his computer and started a video chat back to Amity Park, Maddie's face then appeared and she smiled.
"Danny hi sweetie! Everything going okay?" Maddie asked.
"It's going fine mum. We managed to find some clues and I definitely there is also a ghost involved" Danny answered. "There was something I wanted to ask you though"
"What is it sweetie?" Maddie asked. Danny then showed her the picture of the relic they found and asked, "I need you to look through that book that we found about the Ghost Zone and see if this relic comes up. We heard some of them call it the Damon Ridus when we found it"
"Damon Ridus?" Maddie wondered as she pulled out the book and started going through the pages.
Sam sighed and said, "I can't find anything in my books about it"
A few minutes later Maddie shook her head and said, "Nope. Nothing is in this book about this Damon Ridus, in fact I don't think that relic has anything to do with the Ghost Zone at all"
"Thanks mum. I'll call you soon" Danny said and then hung up. "Well Sam at least we know it's not a Ghost Zone artefact"
"What I wanna know is who the ghost behind this is?" Sam said. "Plus because we saw Zarkos, it definitely proves that Nagoo Tahuna is involved as well"
"Let's go downstairs and tell Velma about what mum said" Danny said. "Plus we could use a bit of a break. It's been one heck of a night"
Sam nodded and they both headed downstairs and found Velma laughing with a guy that was sitting next to her, they also turned and saw Nagoo playing the piano and Shaggy sitting with Emile and Mary Jane. Everyone clapped as Nagoo finished playing, but then suddenly Scooby started screaming in fright and knocking people down as he ran all over the place.
"ARGHHHH! MONSTER! HELP ME! HELP ME! MONSTER!" Scooby screamed and then hid under the table shaking.
They all looked at Scooby in confusion, Sam then noticed Emile scratching his neck with his hand like a dog would and she gave him a weird look as she turned back to Scooby. Fred walked up to him and then snapped, "Scooby! This is the most embarrassing thing you've done since you decided to clean your beans at Don Knott's Christmas party"
Scooby stopped and then chuckled at the memory. Fred stood up and said, "How many times do I have to tell you? Apart from ghosts there are no such things as ghouls, goblins or monsters"
He then stood up on the table in front of everyone and started announcing, "Now listen up. There is absolutely, absolutely no such thing as…"
He was suddenly cut off as a large, skinny demon looking monster smashed through the window behind him and roared.
"MONSTER!" Fred shouted and then everyone began running.
Fred tried to run from the creature but it tripped him over and then grabbed him by his leg and lifted him from the ground.
"FRED!" Daphne screamed.
"Scooby…" Fred began to say but then the creature cut him off and roared in his face while unleashing some sort of green smoke.
"Save…Daphne" Fred finished as he fell unconscious in the creature's claws.
More creatures then crashed into the hotel, everyone screamed and panicked as they all ran away hoping to not be captured by them. Scooby screamed and ran off to go find somewhere to hide. Danny changed into his ghost form and Sam got her wrist ray ready.
"Sam get as many people as you can out of the hotel while I try and hold these creatures back" Danny said as he blasted one of the creatures back. "Then contact me through the Fenton Phones and I'll come and get you"
"Okay be careful Danny" Sam said and then they both quickly kissed each other on the lips and Sam left to go help some the of the people get out. On the side, Nagoo was grinning at the scene like a mad man.
Danny saw a creature grab someone and then blasted him away, causing it to let the boy go. He then shouted, "Go get out of here!"
The boy scrambled to his feet and ran off, the creature roared at Danny and swiped its claws at him. Danny dodged up, down, left and right and then used his ghostly ice to freeze the creature solid in a thick casing of ice.
He then flew off to go try and hold the other creatures off, meanwhile Velma was on the ground trying to find her glasses that fell off her face in all the chaos. Another creature crashed through the ceiling and then saw Velma, he jumped near her and the boy whose name was Zeke that Velma was talking to earlier watched as the creature picked up her glassed and held them in front of her.
Velma vaguely saw them and grabbed them, she then said as she stood up and put them on, "Thank you"
The creature then roared at her, but she was unfazed and simply smirked as she said, "Nice mask but bad breath"
The creature looked at her in shock and then grabbed her by her waist and held her in the air, Velma then grabbed its horns and placed her foot in its mouth and began pulling its face trying to rip it off like it was a mask. When she couldn't pull it off, she let go and realised that it was no mask and this creature was very real, the creature bought her down to its face and then growled at her.
"Jinkies" Velma said fearfully.
The creature then roared and released the same green smoke and knocked her unconscious just like the other one did to Fred.
"VELMA!" Shaggy shouted and then suddenly a creature crashed through the wall behind them.
He and Mary Jane both screamed in fright and then jumped behind the bar and hid, they both then peeked over and saw Zeke run over and try to save Velma but he was captured as well. Shaggy then said in fear, "This is like the opposite of what I wanted to do today"
Danny kept flying around and blasted at the creatures, he then saw the one he froze solid break free of the ice and continue its rampage. Danny landed on the ground and began panting with exhaustion, there was too many of them and he knew he wasn't going to be able to take them all out.
"Sam can you hear me?" Danny asked through the Fenton Phones as he kept blasting some of the creatures away from the people.
"I hear you Danny" Sam replied. "I managed to get most people out on my side. There's too many Danny! What are we gonna do?!"
"I don't know! Listen we might have to retreat for now, meet back in the lobby and be careful" Danny said.
Daphne ran over and saw Nagoo running over to grab the Damon Ridus however she ran over and managed to grab it before he did. She then poked his tongue at him, which caused him to scream in anger and he was about to attack her when a couple of people ran into him and started pushing him back.
Daphne placed the Damon Ridus in her purse, Danny was getting weaker and weaker as he let off more power. Just when he was about to blast another creature, he suddenly felt something hit his back and electrocute him, he unwillingly changed back into his human form and fell to his knees. A creature grinned and saw this as an opportunity to grab him, Sam then came in the room and gasped in fright.
"NOOO!" She screamed as she ran over and then pushed Danny out of the way.
The creature grabbed Sam by her waist, Danny looked up in fear and screamed, "SAM NO!"
"DANNY RUN!" Sam shouted and then the creature roared and knocked her unconscious with the same green smoke.
The creature then ran off with Sam in his arms satisfied with his capture, Danny watched in despair and then turned as he heard another scream. He saw as Emile who was behind Daphne in the hands of another creature through the floor. Nagoo escaped through a hole in the wall while tucking a device in his pocket.
"MR MONDEVARIOUS!" Daphne shouted as the creature took him away.
A claw then reached out and tried to grab Daphne, she kept whacking it with her purse and Danny tried to use a blast, but he couldn't go ghost.
"I can't use my powers!" Danny shouted.
"GUYS GO!" Shaggy shouted and they all ran out of the lobby together as Shaggy then shouted, "SCOOBY DOO! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Scooby was hiding in a suitcase, he then began walking away out of the lobby in the suitcase but was unaware that a creature had saw him. The creature grabbed the bag and took it off Scooby and ruining his disguise.
Scooby screamed as he turned and faced the creature, the creature tried to grab him but Scooby dodged the claw and then gestured for him to stop. Scooby then grabbed his claw and began cleaning it with his arm, the creature looked confused but then smiled that he was getting pampered.
Scooby then used his teeth and bit off his nails, the creature looked at his claws in shock that his nails were now a mess and then Scooby fled as he was distracted. He ran through the lobby but then stopped as he saw there was a sandwich, he grabbed it with his mouth but then watched as a creature emerged from behind the bar and was about to grab him but missed as Scooby dodged and grabbed the sandwich instead.
"THANK YOU!" Scooby then said as he grabbed the sandwich and ran away leaving the creature in confusion.
Daphne, Danny, Mary Jane and Shaggy came out of a hotel room as they looked for Scooby.
"Where's Scooby?" Danny asked.
"I don't know but I hope he's okay" Shaggy said as they stood in the hallway.
Suddenly they all fell backwards and landed on a baggage trolley, they turned and saw it was Scooby and he was pushing them down the hallway.
"SCOOBY DOOBY DOO!" Scooby shouted.
"Hey Scoob" Shaggy said in relief.
Scooby then jumped on the back of the trolley and allowed it to roll down the hallway fast, he then turned and saw two creatures at the end of the hallway behind them and he poked his tongue at them which caused them to get angry and start chasing them.
Shaggy, Danny, Daphne and Mary Jane then saw that they were about to go right through a window and screamed, "SCOOBY!"
Scooby turned around and screamed as they all then jumped right through the window and then land on the gazebo roof and bounce off. The creatures saw this and watched as they ran off, they both then jumped but instead of bouncing off the gazebo they fell right through it and crashed into the ground.
They both groaned in pain and the other one kicked the first one in annoyance. The creatures dragged their captured humans and started heading for the woods, unaware that they were being watched by Danny, Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby and Mary Jane from some large vases that were part of a theme park game. They all emerged from the vases when they saw the creatures were now gone.
"I have a sinking feeling these dudes aren't brainwashed cult members" Shaggy said.
"What are they? What do they want with the college students?" Daphne asked. Danny then said, "We need to follow them"
"Say what?!" Shaggy asked in shock.
"So we can defeat the creatures and save Fred and Velma and not to mention my girlfriend Sam!" Danny pressed feeling really worried about Sam.
"Well that's sort of like my plan: We just get the heck out of here and let the creatures eat Fred, Velma and Sam" Shaggy said feeling really scared.
"No way!" Danny shouted. "I am not leaving without Sam! We came here to solve a mystery and we're gonna finish it"
"Danny's right and for the first time, Fred and Velma are the damsels in distress, not me" Daphne said but then lost balance in her vase and yelped as she fell over.
They followed the creatures, Danny could feel his powers returning but it wasn't enough to place them under invisibility so they had to stick to the bushes, they stopped as they watched the creatures go through a cave where Nagoo did a show when they arrived.
"Okay I'm calling for help" Mary Jane said as she pulled out her phone.
"No! I got this" Daphne said and she was about to do something when the cave closed and locked.
"I don't got this" Daphne said and allowed Mary Jane to make the phone call.
Mary Jane called the emergency number for Coast Guard and the phone answered, "Coast Guard, Fitzgibbon"
"Hello sir? We're on Spooky Island. Our friends were….uh….kidnapped! We need someone here right away" Mary Jane explained.
"Well we do have a unit in the vicinity" Fitzgibbon said. "Can you meet them at the pier?"
"Uh huh" Mary Jane said. She then heard him respond, "Alright they'll be right there"
