Meanwhile back in Boomerland, Fred, Velma, Marcie and the rest of the team were having a meeting right at the Funtastic Duo's statue in Boomerang City.

"Hey, Velma." said Fred.

"Yeah, Fred?" asked Velma.

"How are we supposed to Zin's lair exactly?" he asked.

"Beats me." said Velma.

"Say Johnny," Tinker turned to Johnny "Doc Zin is your arch nemesis, maybe you could figure out."

"Yeah, why don't you try using that snooping little brain of yours to help us?" Shelly poked Johnny on the head.

"Yeah!" said Flip "You're always fighting bad guys! Surely you can help us figure out where this guy might be!"

Suddenly Zin's henchmen jumped right out of a giant chopper.

"Look!" said one, pointing at the characters.

The others looked and saw the toons.

"It's the characters we're supposed to capture!" said another "Let's get them!"

They ran over to our heroes.

"Hey, guys!" said Jonny "I think I know who can help find Zin…HIS HENCHMEN!"

Everyone turned around and saw Zin's henchmen running right towards them.

"Hold it right there, Jonny Quest!" said an agent "And Fred Jones and Velma Dinkley, and a bunch of other cartoons!"

"Yeah!" said the second one "We're here to get y'all back to the boss! So you'd better surrender!"

The agents all pointed their laser guns right at the gang and charged right at them.

"Guys, attack the agents with everything we got!" said Henry.

"Yeah" Scooter said "Let's pow them right in the rear end!"

Mimi grabbed Scooter by the back of his shirt.

"Don't you dare attack those men Scooter Chan" She told her brother "You'll get a bad boo boo."

"I hate to say this buddy, but Mimi's right, Scooter." Stanley said.

"Yeah" said Suzie "You, Mimi, Nancy and Flip could get hurt really badly. You four are too little."

"No!" Scooter pouted "I wanna beat up those baddies!"

"Scooter, your sister's right." Flip put his hand on Scooter's shoulder "Dr. Zin is one of the most vile villains in history."

"And let me tell you," said Johnny "He's more dangerous to kids way younger than me. Like you and Mimi. He could do something extremely awful to you guys."

"You're right." Scooter sighed. "I promise I won't get involved."

"Now Scooter," Henry told his baby brother "You, Mimi, Flip, Nancy and Chu-Chu stay here. We'll handle the madmen. Okay?"

"Okay." Flip, Nancy, Mimi and Scooter sighed.

"Go run to safety and we'll find you soon." Freddy told them.

"Anything for a celebrity" Flip gave two thumbs up. "Come on kids!"

Scooter, Mimi, Flip, Nancy and Chu-Chu ran to safety.

"Seize them!" shouted an agent.

"You forget you freaks!" said Googie "There's a bunch of us and a few of you! You're outnumbered."

"You might as well give it up!" said Marcie. "As my friend said, you're outnumbered!"

"We won't be for long!" a henchman aimed his gun at Marcie and zapped her.

She was frozen solid.

"Marcie!" Velma shouted. "You monsters, how could you do that?"

"Oh calm down, Dinkley," said the men who froze Marcie "She's still alive!"

"Hey, Carl" an agent said to another "You want me to get the Dinkley girl for ya?"

"Sure, Frank." said Carl.

"No!" said Madelyn, jumping in front of Velma "If you jerks want Velma, You'll have to freeze me first!"

Frank froze them both.

"Hey!" shouted Tinker "That's not very nice."

"You're next, Shaggy Rogers!" said Frank.

"He's not Shaggy" said Fred.

"Shut it, Freddy!" said Mat

All the henchmen pulled freeze guns and froze all the other toons.

The agents took Johnny and the other frozen characters into their chopper. Only Freddy and the Neptune's were left.

"Jumping jellyfish" Biff exclaimed "We're surrounded!"

"Say your prayers Jones!" an agent pointed his gun at them.

"Don't we get a last meal?" Jabberjaw stammered.

"Hasta la vista!" the agent sinisterly grinned.

Just then, the henchman pulled the trigger, but nothing came out.

"What?" he asked.

He kept pulling the trigger but nothing came out.

"Drat!" He said "No more ammo!"

The henchmen climbed up to the chopper, where the other agents were holding the frozen toons.

"Quick!" Jabberjaw pointed to the chopper "He's getting away!"

But before they could, the chopper flew into sky at breakneck speed.

"Rats!" Shelly stomped her foot "They got away."

"Wait," said an agent "Weren't we supposed to capture that Jones guy?"

"Who cares?" said another agent "We've got the others! What's one member of Mystery Inc. compared to all these ones? And we got the whole Quest package now!"

"Yeah" said the first agent "We don't need Ascot Head!"

Back down, Fred and the Neptune's had been discussing what just happened.

"I can't believe those guys got away." said Bubbles.

"I can." Shelly put hands on her hips. "If Mr. Bombastic here was a better leader, maybe those slimeballs would be toast."

"I love toast." Bubbles giggled.

"Let's follow the chopper!" said Biff "It might lead us to Zin's place."

"Good point." said Fred "Let's go."

"Nice plan Biff," Shelly said "Only we forgot two things!"

"And pray tell what is that, Shelly?" asked Biff.

"One; we don't know how we're gonna follow it and two; what about Scooter, Mimi, Nancy, Flip and their mutt? We can't leave them here." Shelly pointed out.

"She's right." Freddy said. "…and rude"

"Of course I'm right!" Shelly folded her arms. "Hey! Did you just me rude?"

"We'd better find them and find out what to do with them." said Jabberjaw "It's too dangerous for them to fight someone as vile as Dr. Zin."

Just then, a big blue ball of lighting burst out of nowhere. It was Skip carrying the button.

"Whoa!" he said "That was so awesome!"

"Wowee wow wow!" Clamhead exclaimed "What a show stopper."

"Skip?" Fred asked him "What're you doing back here? And where are Scooby and the others?"

"Oh hi guys." said Skip "Well I have good news and bad news. And more good news"

"Tell us the good news first." said Fred.

"Well the first good news is that me, Scooby, Scrappy, Shaggy, Flim-Flam, Daphne, Cavey, Cavey Jr. Mudsy, Boo, Elmo, Augie, April and the Teen Angels went to Big City and got Blue Falcon and Dynomutt to help us!" Skip explained.

"Blue Falcon and Dynomutt?" asked Fred "That's great, I and the gang go way back with those guys! We are really close." said Fred "Funny enough! They were the ones who helped us and team quest battle Zin on the Jonny Quest episode of Mystery Incorporated. That IS good news."

"What's the bad news?" asked Jabberjaw.

"I teleported back here without them!" said Skip "And the others!"

"I don't think you had to tell us that." said Fred "WHAT'S THE OTHER GOOD NEWS?"

"The other good news is I know now how this device works!" Skip blushed.

Everyone stared at him blankly.

"You stupid idiot" Shelly shouted at Skip "You're supposed to say it works! Not show how it works!"

"I'm not fat!" Shelly made a snooty look "You can clearly see I have a nice figure."

"Boy and I thought her insults at me were harsh." Jabberjaw remarked.

"Alright Shelly that's enough." Fred stopped the fight. "Skip, do you have any idea on how you could get back and get the others?"

"Maybe the device works in reverse." said Skip. "I'll try it."

He pressed the button.

Just then, another big blue ball of lighting surrounded Skip, Fred, Jabber, and the Neptunes and in less than an instant, they were still where they were.

"Rats!" Skip stomped his foot "Guess it doesn't huh?"

"Gee, ya think?" Biff asked sarcastically.

Meanwhile, back at Dr. Zin's hideout the agents arrived in the copter with the frozen characters.

"Guess who we've just bagged Dr. Zin?" An agent showed Zin the frozen Johnny.

"Aww, Johnny Quest." Zin sinisterly smiled "So nice of you to drop in."

"Johnny!" Hadji gasped.

"What've you done to him Zin?!" Dr. Quest demanded.

"I've got him frozen solid." Zin sinisterly smiled.

"Put my son down Zin!" Dr. Quest demanded "Or else!"

"Or else what?" Zin smugly asked "You're all tied up! Minions! Bring in the other frozen characters."

"But boss," said an agent "What about the ones without hearts?"

"We'll deal with them later." said Zin "In the meantime, take them to our dungeon, unfreeze them, tie them up and lock the door."

"Yes Dr. Zin" the agents carried the heartless characters downstairs.

"I've now captured all of Team Quest," said Zin "No one can stop me now!"

"No one except Scooby-Doo and his nephew," said Zin's secretary.

"What are you talking about?!" Zin shouted.

"They're still out there!" said his secretary

"But we've one of their friends!" a guard pulled the ice cube Velma and Madelyn were frozen in and broke freeing the two sisters.

"Brrrrr!" Velma shivered "Jinkies! That was cold!"

"Ain't that the truth, sis?" Madelyn shivered.

"Why it's Velma Dinkley." said Dr. Zin.

"Dr. Zin" gasped Velma.

"And who is this other girl with her?" Dr. Zin looked at Madelyn.

"I'm Madelyn, Velma's sister." said Madelyn.

"Velma's got a sister?" Race asked.

"Never mind that!" shouted Zin "What's important is that I have her!"

Zin pressed a button on a remote and a vacuum nozzle got onto Velma's chest.

"Velma!" Madelyn and Marcie gasped.

"Were any of the other main Scooby-Doo characters with Velma?" said Zin

"Fred Jones was there." said a guard.

"Fred Jones?" asked Zin.

"But he escaped with Jabberjaw and the Neptune's." said the guard.

"And you did not go after them?" asked Zin.

"Well….no?" said the guard.

Zin grabbed the guard by the neck!

"YOU FOOL! " He shouted "HOW COULD YOU ALLOW JONES TO ESCAPE? YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT TWO MAIN SCOOBY CHARACTERS FOR ME TO DRAIN OF THEIR HEARTS AT THE SAME TIME!"

"Well" said the guard "We figured-"

"SILENCE" Zin in the cannon and fired into the air, then he looked at the rest of the guards "YOU'RE FIRED!"

"As for the rest of you…" said Zin "GET BACK OUT THERE THIS INSTANT AND FIND FRED JONES AND BRING BACK HERE, AND DON'T YOU DARE COME BACK TILL YOU DO OR YOU WILL FACE A MUCH WORSE FATE THAN GETTING SHOT OUT OF A CANNON!"

"Yes sir." said the agents. "We'll be back with Fred Jones in our hands."

"YOU BETTER BE! OR ELSE" Zin shouted.

Back in Boomerang City, Fred, Jabberjaw, Skip, the Neptune's, and the uncaptured Chans (Flip, Nancy, Scooter and Mimi) had been trying to find a way to get back to Scooby and the others.

"Zin got our family!" said Scooter

"Don't worry Scooter," said Fred "We are going to help you get them back!" said Fred.

"How are we supposed to get my brothers and sisters back?" asked Nancy "They were abducted by a sadistic mastermind."

"YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS?" shouted Scooter "What are we chopped liver?"

"Yeah!" said Flip and Mimi.

"Sorry" Nancy blushed "I mean 'our' brothers and sisters were abducted by a sadistic mastermind."

"Thanks!" said Flip

"Seriously though," said Skip "Nancy is right. How exactly are we going to get them back?"

"And what about Flim Flam?" asked Nancy "He's trapped in another dimension. We need to get him back!"

"And Daphne!" said Fred.

"She can just stay there for all I care." Shelly made a snooty smile "Now I don't have anyone to compete with anymore."

"Shut up!" Fred shouted.

"Aww," Shelly mocked him "Prince Charming misses his princess."

"Yeah, I do!" Fred shouted "Now SHUT UP, YOU STUPID LITTLE ****! RIGHT NOW!"

"How dare you!" gasped Shelly "I AM NOT A ****!

"Stop it!" Flip shouted "You're traumatizing my brother and sisters."

"He called me a ****!" said Shelly.

"BECAUSE YOU ARE A ****!" said Fred "YOU HAVE BEEN A (He repeated the word again) EVER SINCE WE STARTED THIS MISSION! YOU HAVE INSULTED EVERYONE ELSE! YOU HAVE BEEN TOTALLY RUDE! HOW DARE I? HOW DARE YOU?! YOU ****!"

"Stop it!" Flip shouted "You're traumatizing my brother and sisters."

Fred protested "Well she has been a-"

"Don't you DARE!" Flip stepped Fred on the foot with a bat.

"Ouch!" Fred jumped on one foot "Wouldn't dream of it!"

"Listen Shelly," Biff breathed deeply "This is serious. We can't save the world of we all keep bickering and if you keep insulting everyone."

"Yeah," Jabberjaw said "You'd better show us all some respect, especially me!"

"Jabber," she said "I do respect you and the rest of the team."

"Yeah," said Fred "That's because you're all part of the same character family." said Fred

"Shut up, Jones!" barked Shelly.

"You shut up!" Fred snapped back.

"It would seem we have reached an impasse." said Jabberjaw.

"You know, Shelly! I could just throw you off a cliff for insulting my girlfriend," Fred told her "But since I'm trying to save your LIFE! I won't."

"You know Daphne is not your girlfriend, right?" asked Shelly.

"THAT'S IT!" Fred shouted "THAT'S THE LAST STRAW!"

He grabbed Shelly by the neck and strangled her.

Mimi covered Scooter's eyes "This is something you shouldn't see Scooter!"

Scooter covered Mimi's eyes as well "For once sis, I actually agree with you."

The others covered their eyes too. Things were starting to get ugly. Fred and Shelly started to strangle each other.

"And April thinks me and Augie fighting was ugly." said Skip.

Shelly kept strangling Fred "If you love Daphne 'Bimbo' Blake so much, why don't you just marry her?!"

"How dare you say that about Daphne?!" gasped Fred.

And with that he ruthlessly beat Shelly up.

Everyone gasped and starred in shock. Fred looked up at everyone.

"What?" asked Fred "What are you all looking at?"

"Fred!" gasped Skip.

"How could you?" asked Jabberjaw.

"WHAT?" Fred shouted.

"Shelly's my friend, Fred" said Jabber "I can't believe you just did that to her!"

"Guys, she wasn't being nice!" Fred said "How can you stick up for her?"

"Get away from me you jerk!" Shelly sobbed into Biff's chest.

Biff wrapped his arms around Shelly to comfort her "Sure, she wasn't being nice but we don't want her to be beaten up."

Fred looked and saw Shelly all beat up, heartbroken, tearful and defeated. Her nose was bleeding. Fred had finally realized what he had done.

"Oh, Shelly" Fred gasped "I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to hurt you. I just wanted you to stop being so mean."

"Now you're asking for it cowboy!" Shelly showed her sharp, polished fingernails.

She punched Fred in the face multiple times.

"We came to help you" more tells fell out of Shelly's eyes "Maybe we shouldn't!"

"You're supposed to be the hero Fred!" Skip told him "You can't do that to Shelly."

"You know Fred," said Biff "I thought we could work together! But now I am over Scooby-Doo and his friends!"

"What are you saying?" said Fred.

"I'm saying that Mystery Inc .sucks!" said Biff

"Oh yeah?" Fred spat "Well if the Mystery Inc., then so do the Neptune's!" said Fred

"I can't believe I ever kissed the ground you walked on!" said Flip. "How do you expect to be a hero if you beat someone up?"

"We may be cartoons, but we still have blood!" Jabber exclaimed.

"And feelings." Nancy added.

"I can't believe I ever thought of helping you!" said Bubbles.

"Yeah, Shelly's our friend." Biff said "Sure she yells a lot and hogs the bathroom and insults us 24/7..."

"Ahem!" Clamhead cleared his throat.

"But we still like her is the point." Biff finished "I don't want to be without her."

"And besides," Nancy added "What about your friends? Have you ever wanted to not be without them?"

"Ya know what?" Fred snapped "Forget all of you! I am who I am! If me and my friends really expected to save a girl who treats everyone like dirt, her friends and a talking shark, I'd rather be captured by Zin's henchmen than spend a second of my life with Queen Jerkmouth!"

"Well in that case, we might as well give you what you want!" said a voice.

Fred looked and saw Zin's henchmen.

"What are you guys doing back here?" said Fred

"We're here for you, Jones!" said an agent "Zin's orders!"

"You can have him!" said Shelly

"Huh?" asked Fred.

"Yeah" said Jabberjaw "He's all yours, sayonara Freddy!"

"As of right now Jones" Biff shouted "You're on your own!"

"Wait!" said Fred,

"Get him, boys!" said the head agent.

The agents grabbed Fred and handcuffed him and threw them into their chopper.

"Aaaaahhhh!" he screamed.

"What a boob." Mimi folded her arms.

Author's Note:

Boy, there sure was a lot of drama in this chapter. Looks like Fred has lost the only allies he has left and has been captured. But the most shocking thing is that he has done something extremely immoral that even someone like Shelly doesn't deserve. Stay tuned for more drama!
