Chapter 16 The Mystery of The Project Destroyer

The students and faculty of Miskatonic University were very upset about what just happened. Freddy looked around and noticed that not everyone's project was destroyed. "Hmmm it seems that there are a couple of projects and or experiments still left that weren't destroyed when the lights went off and I highly believe that whoever it is that's causing all of this trouble will be caught" Freddy proudly stated to his friends and everyone else at Miskatonic University. Before Velma left with her friends Johnny stopped her for a moment and asked, "Velma I was wondering could I come with you and your friends. I'm very curious to see you in action solving a mystery." "Ok sure if that's ok with you guys" Velma asked her friends which they were fine with. "Alright I get to see my girlfriend do what she does best besides science" Johnny said winking at Velma causing her to giggle and blush. Shaggy hated the idea of Velma's new boyfriend tagging along but he didn't say anything about it because he didn't want Velma to find out that he still cares for her deeply. "We need to start searching for clues to see if the person who committed the crime left anything behind" Velma stated as she, her friends and Johnny started looking for clues. "Does this qualify as a clue?" Johnny askes pointing to an object near the exit. "Jinkies you actually found a clue I'm so proud of you!" Velma exclaims with a smile as Johnny handed her what he found. "A ninja mask?" asked Daphne who was very curious to know why there was a ninja mask on the ground and where did it come from?

"Do you think you'll be able to solve this mystery?" Dr. Escargot asked the gang. "Of course we will and we will capture whoever is destroying the projects or experiments with a trap thought of by me" Freddie proudly said because he loves to build traps. "Come on gang we need to find whoever is doing this" Freddy said as he, his friends and Johnny left together. The lights of the whole University were out so it was completely dark. Lucky for everyone they managed to find the janitor's closet with flash lights. "This is really creepy" Johnny said. "Don't worry Johnny if you get scare you can always hold my hand" Velma said as she reached out her hand and held Johnny's. "Like who in the world who shut off the lights and turn them back on only in the event room where the science competition is?" Shaggy asked. "I think whoever did this wanted to make a quick get away without anyone seeing him" Velma answered. As they continued looking for clues the gang found a room that was unlocked. "I wonder what's in here" Daphne curiously asked as she began to open to the open and go inside with everyone else right behind her. When Freddy turned on the lights everyone gasped because of what was on the wall. "These are articles about all the students who entered the science competition with their projects and or experiments and look there is a big X on the article of the student's experiment that was destroyed when the lights went out and I think this person is going to continue doing this because each of these articles have a number on them and apparently Carl and Victor are the last two!" Daphne said as she pointed to the wall covered in the articles about everyone who entered the science competition to win the grant including Carl and Victor.

"What are you looking up Velma?" Johnny asked his girlfriend who was on the computer in the room. "When you handed me that ninja mask I saw a little symbol inside of the mask that had a company logo on it and I'm trying to see which company that logo is from" answered Velma as she continued her search. When she found what she was looking for Velma printed it out and put it in her pocket. "I have what we need let's look for more clues" Velma told everyone which they continued to do. "Like I think Scooby and I found something that may help solve this mystery faster" Shaggy said showing his friends the newspaper article that he found on the floor." The gang and Johnny read the article together which was about Carl's great grandfather Ronald Chryniszzswics and the opening of his toy company. "We need to show this to Carl right away because I think I know who is behind this" Velma stated to her friends as they left the room together. Surprisingly the lights turned back on but the lighting was dim. Everyone turned on their flashlights and started walking back to the even room where everyone else was. Unknowing to the gang the same person who was in the event room spying on everyone at the science competition was following the gang because he saw that Velma was on his computer looking up something that he didn't want them to know and printed out something that could blow his cover. As they were walking Velma was behind her friends when all of a sudden the person who was following them grabbed Velma. "Hey what are you doing? Let go of me!" Velma demanded. "HELP ME!" Velma cried out loud which her friends and Johnny heard. "Hey let go of Ms. Jinkies!" Johnny angrily told the guy who knocked out Velma and carried her unconscious while running away from everyone. "We lost him and he has my girlfriend!" Johnny said. "Gang looks like whoever knows what Velma knows kidnapped her because they don't want us finding out the truth in order to solve this mystery" Freddy stated. "What do we do now?" Scooby Doo asked. "Simple we find Velma, capture the guy who took her by setting a trap" Freddy said which everyone was on board for.

Author's Note: You know in most Scooby Doo series Daphne is usually the one who gets kidnapped. This time Velma is the victim because let's just say the bad guy believes Velma knows too much. One more thing I set up a poll that I want everyone to take a look at and vote because it's about adding a character to my fan fiction. Please stay tune for my next update.
