Meanwhile, Scooby, Scrappy and the others went to the Funky Phantom's house.
"Is this the Funky Phantom's house?" asked Flim Flam.
"It sure is." Said Googie "Lets see if they're home."
Googie rang the doorbell.
Inside the house, Skip and Augie were fighting over the TV remote and April was knitting something. Outside, the Funky Phantom (aka, Mudsy) was sleeping in his hammock in the backyard with his ghost cat, Boo sleeping on his stomach. Just then, they heard the doorbell ring.
"Someone's at the door." Said Skip "I'll get it."
"No." Augie stopped Skip "I'll get it."
"No I will." Skip argued.
"No I will." Augie fought back.
"Boys are so dumb." April rolled her eyes and walked to the door and opened it. "Hey! It's Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, and Scrappy-Doo! How you doing guys?"
"Hey April!" Googie waved to April "Great to see you."
"Hi Googie!" said April "Great to see you."
"Hey!" Flim Flam raised his arm "What am I? Chopped liver."
"Hmmmm." Shaggy and Scooby sighed "Chopped liver."
April looked down at him "And you are?"
"Flim Flam Blake's the name." Flim shook April's hand. "Doing magic is my game."
"Why is he with you guys?" April asked Googie and turned to Flim Flam "And where are your parents?"
"I don't have parents." he confessed "I'm an orphan."
"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that." Said April, looking sympathetic "So, what are you doing with Scooby and his friends?"
"They're my family." said Flim-Flam.
"And we've got a problem." Scrappy added "It's not just a family crisis, it's a whole world crisis."
"What's the problem?" asked April.
"Yo April!" Augie shouted "Who's at the door?"
"It's just Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo, Googie-Doo, and Shaggy Rogers." said April "And some kid named Flim-Flam."
"Mystery Inc's in town?" Augie got up from the couch and let go of the remote which caused Skip to fall off the couch.
"Ooh." He groaned.
"Skip, you pinhead get up!" He picked up Skip "This is no time for a nap. Mystery Inc has come to town."
"Oh boy!" Skip followed Augie to the door. "Hey Mudsy! We have company!"
Mudsy got up from his hammock "Company? Heavens to Betsy Ross! What a surprise! A shocker! A show stopper, even. Come on Boo!"
Mudsy and Boo vanished into thin air and then appeared at the front door. At the front door, Augie and Skip were exctied to see Mystery Inc at their house. And so was Elmo.
"Hey guys!" They said.
"Like hey there Skip!" Shaggy shook Skip's hand.
"Hey Shaggy." Skip high fived Shaggy.
"Rello Relmo." Scooby waved to Elmo.
"Ruff." Elmo barked.
"So why are you guys here?" Asked Augie.
Just then, Mudsy and Boo appeared at the front door.
"Heavens to Washington!" Mudsy gasped "It's Scooby-Doo! Shaggy Rogers, even! It's so great to see you boys."
"Oh hi Mudsy." Scrappy shook Mudsy's hand.
"Rello Roo." Scooby shook Boo's hand as well.
"Rrrrow." Boo shook Scooby's front foot as well.
"So what are you guys doing here?" He asked.
"We need your help." Said Shaggy.
"Help?" asked April "Why do you need our help?"
"I'm going to be popular again!" said Scrappy.
"Congratulations, Scrappy-Doo!" said Mudsy.
"Yeah, that's great." said Skip.
"But I can't be king anymore." said Scrappy "And my last order as king is that I order you and the others to help us out on an important mission."
"Sure." said Mudsy "What do you need?"
"We need you to help us find a new king within..." Scrappy looked at the clock in his tag "About 45 hours and 54 minutes or you guys will disappear forever."
"WHAT?!" They shouted.
"Heavens to Daws Butler!" Mudsy gasped "What are you sayin Scrappy-Doo?"
"Yeah." Said Augie "What's goin on? And you'd better tell us the whole story."
"Well" Scrappy started to explain "Since I'm popular again, I need to get someone to replace me, someone even more forgotten than all of us or else this whole place and all you heartless characters will disappear forever."
"Oh no!" the Funky Phantom gang gasped.
"Well what's that have to do with us?" asked Mudsy.
"It gets worse." Flim Flam said "Dr. Zin is sending an army of deadly robot soldiers to capture popular toons, go into their world, and steal their hearts, so he and his cronies will survive."
"Dr. Zin?!" Mudsy stammered "That's serious, a big deal, a matter of life and death...even."
"We gotta stop him!" April put her hands on her hips.
"So you'll help us?" Asked Googie.
"You kiddin?" Asked Skip "We haven't fought bad guys in years!"
"Whoo hoo Boo!" Mudsy picked up his cat "Looks like the Funky Phantom is back in the saddle! Out of retirement even."
"Rrrow." Boo meowed.
"Perfect." Said Scooby "Get your car and meet us over there okay?"
"You got it Scooby-Doo." Mudsy gave a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Fred and the others went to Speed Buggy's house to recruit him and his team.
"You sure this is the place Marcie?" asked Velma.
"Positive." Marcie told her "Just ring the doorbell."
"Very well." Velma rang the doorbell.
Mark, Debbie and Tinker opened the garage door.
"Why It's our old friends Fred Jones, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley." said Debbie "How you doing guys?"
"It's pu-pu-pu-pu-great to s-s-s-s-see you." said Speed Buggy.
"It's been a while." Mark said to Freddy.
"Likewise." Fred shook Mark's hand.
"So what're you guys doing here in Boomerland?" asked Debbie.
"Scrappy's becoming popular again and can't be king anymore and we need you to help us find the new king or you'll disappear forever." said Fred
"Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" shouted Tinker "Say it ain't so!"
"Nope." Velma shop her head "It's so. And that ain't the worst of it."
"What do you mean, Velma?" asked Mark.
"It's Dr. Zin." said Velma "He's planning to survive, so he can remake the whole place in his glory."
"Dr. Zin?" Debbie asked "But I thought he was gone for good."
"That's where you're wrong baby cakes." said Madelyn "Zin is alive and well."
"How is he planning to survive?" asked Debbie.
"Does it really matter?" asked Velma, annoyed "Are you gonna help us or not?"
"Velma." Daphne elbowed Velma "We'll explain everything when we all group up. Come on guys."
"You got it!" Tinker jumped into Speedy Buggy.
"Looks like the Speed Buggy gang is back on the beat baby." Mark added.
"Then lets go." Debbie started to drive.
"P-p-p-p-back in the saddle!" Speed Buggy finished and he drove off.
In just a minute or so, all of the meddling kids were gathered up to discuss the mission.
"Alright everyone!" Scrappy said "You've probably wondered why we called y'all here."
"Because you wanted us to help you stop an evil villain from stealing the hearts of popular characters?" Cavey Jr raised his hand.
"Yes." Scooby said boldly "Everyone! This is a matter of life and death! We are going to unite and travel to those other worlds and save those other characters! Are ya with me?!"
"Yeah!" Everybody shouted.
"Into your respective vans everyone!" Said Freddy "We've got a whole world and a whole bunch of characters to save!"
Everyone got into their respective vans. Jabberjaw and the Neptunes got into their hover car thing, Captain Caveman, Cavey Jr, and the Teen Angels went into their van, Mudsy and his friends got into their Looney Duney, Speed Buggy's friends got into well...you get the picture, and Mystery Inc got into Shaggy's car.
"This would be much better if we had our Mystery Machine." Daphne pointed out.
"Yeah, it really would make this picture complete." Freddy added.
"Anyways," said Marcie "We need to get to Quest Labs. It's where Mr. E said we'll find Team Quest so they can give as some more information."
"I know that place." said Dee Dee "It's at Messick Flatts."
"Then, to Messick Flatts we go!" said Freddy.
"You got it boss!" said Dee Dee.
"Heard you loud and clear." Biff added.
"P-p-p-p-right." Speed Buggy exclaimed.
They all drove to Messick Flatts. Scooby-Doo and the rest Mystery Inc once again had to solve a mystery and catch bad guys. But this time, they had limited time and a little help from former mystery teams.
