Scooby, Scrappy, Marcie, Shaggy and the sidekicks arrived back at Quest Labs where the others were waiting for them.

"You guys are back" said Cavey Jr.

"Rello Rooby," said Flim Flam "Did you get the magic brush?"

"Right here!" Scooby showed the magic paintbrush.

"Yep we got it!" said Scrappy "Right here in my uncle's hand. Now let's go kick some Dr. Zin bahookie!"

"Yeah" said everyone.

"Only like one problem," said Shaggy "We don't know where Zin is."

"Raw nuts!" said Scooby.

"Well, since we don't know where Dr. Zin's lair is," said Johnny "It seems that our only hope is to save the toons he hasn't captured yet."

"But Johnny," said Mark "How on earth are you going to find Zin's hideout?"

"I hired a specialist for some assistance" Johnny said "He should be here right about..."

Just then, the buzzer rang.

"Now" He finished and walked to the front door.

It was a Charlie Chan and his ten kids; Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Alan, Anne, Tom, Flip, Nancy, Mimi, Scooter, and their dog, Chu-Chu.

"Your door was open" he said.

"Mr. Chan!" Johnny exclaimed "Thank goodness you're here. My family's been-"

"Kidnapped." said Charlie.

"Yes" said Johnny "By-"

"Dr. Zin" Charlie finished.

"Zowie" said Taffy "How do you know those things?"

"I may be retired, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve." said Charlie.

Everyone looked at him.

"That and I saw him kidnap them." He sighed.

"And he waits till now to do something." Shelly rolled her eyes.

Daphne was about to say something to Shelly when Velma elbowed her in the arm.

"Oh boy!" Flim Flam cheered "The Chan Clan's here! How you doing guys?"

"Hi...Flim-Flam" Nancy shyly giggled and blushed.

"Oh uh…hi Nancy" Flim Flam nervously waved.

"Whoa," Scrappy pulled Flim Flam's leg "Easy tiger."

"Heavens to Delaware" Mudsy said to Boo "Don't you just love young love, Boo?"

"Rrrow" Boo meowed.

Suzie, Daphne and April walked over to each other.

"Nice hair Daphne." Suzie told Daphne.

"Thanks." Daphne said "You're hair is pretty darn gorgeous too."

"Mr. Chan, do you think you can help me find Zin's hideout?" asked Johnny.

"Yes I think I can." said Charlie. "I may be retired, but I still have a few joints left in my bones. Listen up children; I will try to find some leads on where Dr. Quest could be."

"That's my pop!" said Flip "Back in the biz!"

"In the meantime, the rest of you should go to the other worlds and stop Zin's henchmen." Vincent finished.

"Hey pop!" Flip called out to his father "What about us?"

"Beats me" Charlie walked right out of the door.

"Wham, bam, now we're really in a jam" Stanley remarked. "You guys are going out to solve a mystery and save the world, pop's gonna solve a case for the first time in years, and we are stuck in this wrecked building."

Fred thought for a minute "Hey! I've got an idea!"

"What?" everyone shouted.

"Rhat is it?" asked Scooby.

"Why don't the ten of you come with us?" Freddy asked the Chan kids. "We could always use some more meddling kids."

"Actually, that's not a bad idea." said Alan.

"Oh boy" Anne cheered "Solving a mystery, saving the universe and meeting awesome celebrities. Now that's what I call, 'coming out of retirement'."

"Hold on a sec." said Shaggy.

"What is it now?!" Everyone shouted.

"We can't all go at once." He explained.

"Yeah" said Bubbles "It's like too risky and scary. Dr. Zin is probably the most wicked and scary of all the villains in the Funtastic World. He's killed innocent lives, sometimes cause he felt like it."

"What's scary is that what Bubble-Brain said actually made sense." Shelly pointed out.

"Yeah, that is scary." Clamhead added.

"Remember my plan, where we would all divide into different teams?" Shaggy continued "Then why don't some Chans go with one team and another group of Chans goes with another and so on."

"Say, that's not a bad idea Shag." Henry said "Back in the old days, me and my siblings would divide into different teams when we snuck into one of pop's capers."

"Okay" said Freddy "I'll make the teams. Daphne and I will go with-"

"Actually, Fred I'll go with Scooby, Shaggy, Scrappy and Flim-Flam." said Daphne "We used to catch ghosts all the time."

"What?" Fred asked.

"That's okay Freddy." said Daphne "You can pair up with Velma this time."

"Lucky me" Velma rolled her eyes.

"Anyway" Fred continued "I'll go with Velma, Marcie, Madelyn and Googie."

"What about us?" asked Dee Dee.

"Yeah, we want in on the action." said Mark.

"Sure," said Speed Buggy "Don't we pu-pu-pu-play a role in this?"

"Okay." said Fred "Captain Caveman, Cavey Jr, and the Teen Angels are a team, you can go together. Speed Buggy, you and your pals are a team; you can go together as well and take Jonny with you."

"Pu-pu-pu-you got it F-f-f-Fred." said Speed Buggy.

"I've never ridden in a talking car before." said Johnny "I've used lethal weapons, used awesome armor, I've driven cars, but I've never rode in a talking car."

Fred continued "Mudsy, you and your pals can go together. Jabberjaw, you and your pals are a team. You can go together, and now for the Chans."

"Wham bam!" said Stanley "Who do we go with?"

"Flip, Nancy, Mimi, Scooter, and Chu-Chu, you can go together, which leaves a six person team, which consists of Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Alan, Tom and Anne." Fred finished.

"Alright!" said Scooter "We're gonna solve a new mystery, with Mystery Inc. even."

"Quadruple zowie!" said Taffy "Now that's what I call getting back in the saddle."

"Okay so, Mr. Van Ghoul has the first portal ready," said Johnny "So which team goes first?"

"Yeah, we can't all go at once." said Augie.

"For once," said Skip "I agree with that meathead."

"But how are we gonna figure who goes first?" asked Mudsy.

"Maybe we should flip a coin?" suggested Mimi.

"Where are we even going?" asked Jabberjaw.

"Good idea Jabber." Scrappy reached into Captain Caveman's fur and took out the crystal ball "Maybe Mr. Van Ghoul knows where we are going. Come in Mr. Van Ghoul. This is Scrappy-Doo."

Vincent's image came up on the crystal ball.

"Yes, Scrappy?" he asked.

"Listen, we've got a dilemma" the puppy explained "We're ready to start our adventure but we don't know which we're gonna go to first. Heck, we don't even know what team is going to the first world."

"Yeah Vince," said Flim Flam "We need your help."

"We've got eight teams." said Shaggy "What are we gonna do?"

"Maybe four teams can go see the worlds." said Vincent.

"Oh, and the other four go after Zin?" Jonny continued

"I guess." said Vincent.

"But how are we gonna choose which ones you old dinosaur?!" Shelly shouted.

"Excuse me?" Vincent gasped.

"Shelly!" said Daphne "You can't talk to Mr. Van Ghoul like that!"

"He's the greatest and powerful warlock in the world!" Flim Flam added "You've got some nerve talking to him like that!"

"He has such a way with words." Nancy looked at Flim Flam and sighed.

"Yeah" Scooter added "Pop says you should respect your elder's missy!"

"Scooter Chan" Mimi pointed her brother "Don't you dare talk to Shelly like that."

Mimi turned to Shelly.

"Pop says you should respect your elder's missy!" Mimi repeated what Scooter said to Shelly.

"Can we please get on with this?!" Scrappy shouted "We've only 39 hour and 23 minutes till we all vanish into thin air."

"You heard the puppy!" Dee Dee added "We are never gonna solve the mystery if we keep squabbling!"

"All right" said Vincent "Four team go through the portal to the others."

"And four more go after Zin!" said Daphne.

"But which ones are going after Zin?" asked Debbie.

"I suggest you find out for yourself." said Vincent.

"I have an idea!" Tom snapped his fingers.

"What is it Tom?" asked Augie.

"Well," Tom explained "I deduce if we use the method of flipping a coin, we may be able to determine which groups of protagonists shall go forth to find our adversary and which groups shall do interdimensional travel to save the multiverse."

"Like, speak English man" Shaggy said to Tom.

"Yeah," said Scooby "We can't understand a word you're saying."

"Says the dog that has a speech impediment" Tom threw at Scooby.

"Rey" Scooby growled "Risten, you-"

"Gentleman" Dee Dee separated them "Please! Let's all be civilized."

"I think what Tom was saying was that we could flip a coin to figure which group of teams goes after Zin and which one goes to save the other characters." said Velma "Is that right Tom?"

"Why yes." said Tom "Thanks Velma."

"But that was my idea." Mimi pouted.

"Or we could just decide." Fred pointed out.

"But pray tell, how do we do that, Freddy Jones?" asked Mudsy.

"Simple, Mudsy" Fred explained "Daphne's team, Captain Caveman and his team, and you and your team are going to explore the other words." said Fred "And Speed Buggy's Team, Jabberjaw's team, my team, and the Chans can try to locate Zin."

"Sounds good enough." said April.

"At least I don't have to work with Ms. Shelly the Fish Head!" said Daphne.

"Ha-Ha-Ha, very funny" Shelly said sarcastically with a frown.

"Okay." said Velma "Let's move out!"

"Wham bam!" said Stanley "We're gonna fight that diabolical Dr. Zin!"

"Chan Clan!" Henry said to his siblings "We're back in the saddle!"

"Aww" Nancy pouted "I really wanted to go with Flim Flam."

"Let's switch." said Flim Flam.

"NO TIME!" shouted Velma.

"Send us to the first world, Mr. Van Ghoul." said Scrappy.

"As you wish, Scrappy-Doo." said Vincent.

Vincent waved his magic staff and a huge beam of magic shot around Daphne, Captain Caveman and Mudsy's respective teams and they were zapped right out of the room and into the first world.

"Good luck Scooby-Doo." said Marcie "You're gonna need it."
