The explosion had come from a campfire at a beachside shack, where the Voodoo man whose name was Jake was working on something. He sat up and groaned, "Something tells me that was the wrong ingredients"

They all stopped at the beach and Daphne then said, "Wait. I know how to handle this guy"

She then walked over to him and asked, "Hey you! What are you doing?"

"Yes. That is masterful" Velma said sarcastically as they all then followed.

Danny changed back into his human form seeing that this guy wasn't a threat. Jake then answered, "I'm trying to do a voodoo ritual if you don't mind thank you. It's important to get the right ingredients. See the only way I can protect myself, is by blessing a dead Arnouki beast"

He then held up said dead Arnouki beast which they all cringed in disgust at, Jake then said, "And let me tell you something. I have a feeling they're about to perform their Darkopalypse ritual"

"Darkopalypse ritual?" Velma asked. She then grabbed the Damon Ridus and said as she opened it, "That's what the ancient text describes"

"Hey don't open that!" Jake said fearfully as he kneeled down and placed the beast protectively in front of himself, but then stopped as nothing happened.

"They use the protoplasms in the vat as an energy source" Velma read out. "And the leader needs to absorb a purely good soul to complete the ritual"

"And legend has it that once the ritual is performed, the creatures will rule on earth for 10,000 years" Jake then said. "So that's why I'm taking this dead Arnouki beast up in my house to protect myself"

"You have another one of those?" Shaggy asked hopefully but Jake said nothing and then went inside his home.

"Those creatures are taking over the world? That is so mean" Daphne said.

"But they can't do the ritual without a pure human soul" Danny said with confusion on his face. "Where are they gonna get one of those?"

Velma shook her head and said, "I didn't say human"

Shaggy's eyes then widened as he realised who they wanted and said with worry, "Oh boy"

Meanwhile Scooby whimpered in fear as he was trapped within the pyramid cage where the Damon Ridus was in the Spooky Island castle, the cage doors then opened and he saw Nagoo enter the room. Scooby started walking back but he turned and saw there were guards standing at the door blocking his escape.

"Hello puppy" Nagoo said with a grin.

"So is the person behind all this needs Scooby Doo…" Sam started and then Daphne finished, "Then that person is the one that brought Scooby here"

They were correct for sitting at an office desk was Emile Mondavarious, the leader behind everything. Vlad Masters stood in the room with him and then heard the door knock, he walked over and opened it to reveal Nagoo with Scooby.

"Emile our honoured guest has arrived" Vlad said with a grin and opened the door for Scooby to enter.

"Excellent. Hello Scoobert" Emile said. "How are you my friend? Sit down please"

Nagoo left the room as Scooby sat down on one of the lounge chairs. Emile then came over with a box and offered, "Scooby snack?"

"Hmmm…maybe one" Scooby said but then devoured them all in just five bites.

"Looks like we'll be needing more of those" Emile said as he closed the lid and placed the box down.

Scooby then smiled as he saw a picture of him near him on a small table and said, "Hey that's me"

"It certainly is and that's because we love you Scooby Doo" Emile said.

Vlad then said with fake concern, "Unlike that alleged friend of yours Shaggy. When you tried to tell him about that nasty girl Mary Jane, did he believe you?"

Scooby looked down in sadness and admitted, "No"

"Don't worry my friend, we believe you" Vlad said as he patted him on the head. Emile then added as he knelt down to his level, "And that's why I've got a very important job for you"

Scooby then saw a small plastic cat and tapped its head causing it to bop up and down as he asked, "What's that?"

"That's a cat with a bopping head" Emile said. "Please don't touch it"

"Scooby I would like you to be a sacrifice" Emile said with a wide smile.

"A sacrifice?" Scooby asked nodding his head.

Emile and Vlad nodded their heads and glad that Scooby agreed with their plans. Emile and Vlad then walked out the office door and then Vlad said, "You were right. He fell for it"

"And now all we need is the Damon Ridus back and we can perform the ritual" Emile said. "And if I know Mystery Inc they'll be coming along with it just in time and of course as part of our agreement, you get to rule the world alongside with me"

"I'll go make sure everything is ready for the ceremony" Vlad said and then changed into Plasmius and phased out of the hallway.

"Okay we know that this Plasmius got Mondavarious to invite Danny but if he wanted Scooby, why did he invite the rest of us?" Fred asked.

"It doesn't matter! Like we gotta go save Scoob" Shaggy said with urgency and started heading off. Fred suddenly stopped him and said, "Shaggy our area of expertise is nut jobs in Halloween costumes"

"But we're supposed to be heroes man" Shaggy said. "So I'm gonna do what I always do"

He grabbed Daphne's purse, pulled out a Scooby Snack and finished, "I'm gonna eat myself a Scooby Snack and then I'm gonna go save my best pal"

"Guys I know you have only taken care of fruit loops in masks before and I get this might be totally out of your league, but everyone on this island isn't the only ones whose lives are at stake" Danny said. "Everyone around the world is in danger, including my family and all our families. I once almost lost my friends and family once and I swore that I wouldn't lose them again, so I'm with Shaggy. Scooby and you guys have become my friends as well and I'm gonna save the world and protect everyone"

"So am I" Sam said with determination. "Those creatures aren't gonna rule over my home"

All of them were silent and then Fred smiled and asked Velma, "Velmster?"

"Oh you think I'm gonna fall for that? Giving me my own nickname and trying to make me feel like part of the gang?" Velma said almost tearing up. She then smiled and said, "We could make a plan?"

Daphne looked down and said, "What can I do? The only thing I'm good for is getting caught"

"But you've never let that stop you before" Fred said. "And if that's not a true hero, then I don't know what is"

Daphne smiled and then Shaggy put his hand in the middle, Fred then put his hand in, Daphne then did, Danny then did along with Sam and then finally Velma put hers in and said, "Let's get jinkie with it"
