Back at Metropolis, turns out Shaggy was right on his observation that Luthor is coming at a faster speed than they thought, as the criminal scientist was flying towards them in his backup warsuit.

Shaggy gripped the rock in his hand as the group came face-to-face with Luthor, who had a smirk on his face.

"Luthor." Superman said in greeting as he crossed his arms. "So we meet again."

"And what's with the smirk on that face of yours, Luthor?" Dynomutt asked as Krypto started growling at Luthor.

"Cause I have the upper hand" Luthor pressed a button on the battle suit's control pad "I'd like to thank the academy, my ally Brainiac and the fools at STAR Labs."

A latch opened up on the battle suit's chest and out was a large chunk of green Kryptonite.

"Cause I have the upper hand" Luthor pressed a button on the battle suit's control pad "I'd like to thank the academy, my ally Brainiac and the fools at STAR Labs."

A latch opened up on the battle suit's chest and out was a large chunk of green Kryptonite.

"Oh no you don't Luthor!" Dynomutt said as he activated his Dyno-vacuum before trying to suck the Kryptonite away from the criminal scientist.

Luthor responded by simply pressed another bottom, allowing a mechanical arm to appear out from nowhere and flick the cybrog canine crime-fighter away

"Oh, not another malfunction!" Blue Falcon muttered frustratingly.

"Ah, and what do we have here." Luthor asked as he turned to Blue Falcon. "Some cheap imitation of Batman?"

"Rey!" said Scooby "Re's the Blue Falcon!"

"Whatever" Luthor pressed another button on the control pad.

Out came the vacuum and nozzle from the warsuit.

"Oh, not again." Daphne muttered.

"That's right. You can all surrender right now, or I can make you do that the hard way." Luthor smirked as another arm brings the Kryptonite closer to the supers.

Without hesitation, Shaggy threw the rock he was holding towards the nozzle while Scooby grabbed another rock.

Unfortunately, lasers came out of the suit's cannons and the rocks were zapped.

"Like, didn't see that coming." Shaggy said under his breath when he saw the rocks getting zapped by the lasers.

"That's right. You think I'll be foolish enough to fall for that, you coward?" Luthor asked. "Now prepare to surrender, alien!"

With that, he lurched the Kryptonite closer to the supers, leading them to feel weak.

As the group froze, not sure what to do, Captain Caveman accidentally pressed a button on the control pad to the rocket booster on his club, launching him forward.

"Uh, oh!" Cavey exclaimed. "Me going to crash in green rock!"

Sure enough, he was speeding towards the Kryptonite, and before Luthor had time to react, Cavey managed to took away the Kryptonite, leading it to fall and smash on the ground.

Just then, Superman and the Superpets got back up on their feet.

"Thanks Captain Caveman" said Superman.

"Unga, no problem." said Cavey.

"Alright Superman," Luthor stomped right in front of the Man of Steel. "Now we settle this once and for all!"

"Well bring it on baldy!" Scrappy raised his fists "Cause me and my Uncle Scooby will rock you! Sock you! Right Uncle Scooby?"

Before Scooby could reply, Shaggy unexpectedly pressed a button on the control pad to his rocket booster, launching him towards Luthor.

"Like, Scoob may not be into rocking and socking Luthor, Scrappy." He said. "But I am!"

"Shag, what are you doing?" Daphne asked when she saw her friend charging towards Luthor.

Shaggy didn't reply, and when he flew right over Luthor's open cockpit, he threw another rock right at the controls to the war suit and the rock crashed right on the controls, which started to short circuit. Just then, a loud alarm went off and the inside started flashing.

"YIKES!" Augie and Skip jumped into each others arms.

"Heavens to Delaware!" said Mudsy "W-w-w-what's happening?"

"I don't know!" shouted Daphne.

Inside the battle suit, Luthor was shocked and confused.

"What is the meaning of this?" He banged his fist.

"Self destruct button has been activated. Ten seconds till detonation." said the speakers "Have a nice day."

"BRAINIAC!" Luthor screamed at the top of his voice.

He pressed a button on his chair and the chair transformed into an escape pod right just when the suit was about to blow up.

"So long boys!" Luthor flew off into the night sky.

"He's getting away!" said Brenda.

"No time" said Daphne "We gotta get outta here and Shaggy's still in the suit!"

Inside the suit, Shaggy pressed another button to the control of his rocket booster, causing him to take off and emerge from the suit.

"Like, what are we waiting for, gang?" He shouted when he managed to exit the self-destructing warsuit. "Let's get out of here!"

"Right." Everyone simultaneously replied before taking off, and within seconds, the warsuit was engulfed in a sea of fire.

Once the smoke cleared, everyone was relieved.

"Oh, Shag, are you alright?" Daphne asked as she and Scooby raced over to Shaggy.

"Like, I'm alright, Daph." Shaggy nodded as they shared a brief embrace.

"Gee, that was terrific, Shaggy!" Scrappy said.

"Yeah! I thought you and Scooby were always the ones that tend to run away from a dangerous situation like this." Superman remarked.

"I guess when it's personal, we suddenly become brave" Shaggy assumed.

"We've been brave a lot of times when it was necessary." Scooby remarked.

"Yeah," said Daphne "When we were nearly blown up in Velma's great uncle's castle, or when Scooby fought that time monster or when we were about to blow up on that moon base from that time we went to the moon."

"That's like nothing compared to that mini golf tournament I competed in" Shaggy boasted.

"Gee," said Taffy "I guess even you two can be fearless."

"I wish Brenda wasn't such a big baby" said Dee Dee "I'd love to see her brave and bold, but I guess I'll have to keep dreaming."

"Yeah, if only Mudsy was brave more often too." said April.

"Well, either way, gang, we'd better keep moving if we want to find the other heroes and help save Boomerland." Scrappy said.

"Thanks for all your help Superman," said Dee Dee "We couldn't have done it without you guys."

"Even though you didn't do much" Augie rolled his eyes.

"See ya Krypto!" Dynomutt slapped his paw on Krypto's.

"Bye Dynomutt," said Krypto.

"It was truly an honor to meet you Krypto" Scooby told Krypto.

"Likewise" Krypto winked.

"So long Boo" Streaky told Boo.

"Meow" said Boo.

Streaky chuckled "Why thank you my ghostly look alike."

"Remember," said Blue Falcon "Luthor will be probably back. He, Zin and the other villains will stop at nothing to get your hearts."

"Don't worry," said Superman "We'll be there."

As soon as Superman, Krypto and Streaky flew back home, Scooby and the gang were ready to go.

"Okay," said Augie "Ready?"

"Ready." Everyone else said.

Augie pressed the button and they were sent back to Boomerland.

Meanwhile, Luthor was flying back to his hideout and was frustrated.

"How is it that I got myself outwitted by those two cowards?!" He muttered. "Zin sure won't be happy when he hears this."

Just then, Luthor's videophone turned on.

It was Dr. Zin "I can't believe you let that Man of Steel escape! You incompetent fool!"

"Sir," said Luthor "I am sorry. It won't happen aga-"

"Enough!" said Zin "My daughter is at Paradise Island as we speak. Gather up more villains. We're all going to dominate Mystery Inc. and their allies. That's a guarantee."

"Yes sir," said Luthor "Lex Luthor over and out."

Meanwhile, our heroes were transported back to Boomerland just in time to find Jabberjaw and the Neptunes.

"Like, you guys are back just in time." Shaggy said as he and his group greeted the Neptunes. "We managed to find Superman."

"Great," said Biff "Now we can get back to saving the world."

"Say Biff," Scrappy pointed out "Why is your face covered in pink lipstick marks?"

"It's a long story, and what're we waiting for?" Biff asked as Cavey took the crystal ball out.

"Unga!" Cavey said. "Captain Caveman calling wizard man."

Just then, Vincent's image appeared on the crystal ball.

"Mystery Inc and friends" he said "You're back. I assume you've saved Superman?"

"Yep" said Scooby.

"So where do we go next Mr. Van Ghoul?" asked Scrappy.

"Listen," said Vincent "We are running out of time, so we have to be quick!"

"You still haven't answered me," said Scrappy "Where do we go now?"

"Listen," said Vincent "Just the girls have to go to this world."

"Why?" asked Jabberjaw.

"Because the next hero is Wonder Woman" Vincent explained "And males aren't allowed on Paradise Island, so just the girls are going."

"What about the guys?" asked Clamhead.

"You boys will be heading for Keystone City to meet Flash." Vincent replied.

"Say, like, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Shaggy remarked. "If we split up to meet the other heroes, we can finish faster."

"Not a bad idea Shag" said Biff "We'll all split up."

"Gender wise that is" Bubbles chuckled.

"Good thing I still have the extra button." Jabber showed the button he took to Big City.

"Give me that." Shelly took the button from Jabber "Since I'm the most beautiful of this team, I'll hold onto the button"

"Do we have to go now?" Skip yawned "I'm all sleepy and tired."

"Come on Gilroy!" Augie shook Skip "This is a matter of life and death! Don't weasel out of it!"

"If only there was something to wake him up" said Taffy.

"Don't worry," said Brenda "I got this."

Brenda walked over to Skip, grabbed him by his shoulders and kissed him right on the lips.

There were a few on the team that were disgusted by the kiss, but it served its purpose of energizing Skip.

"Woah!" He smiled as he turned to his fiance. "Thanks, Brenda."

"Don't mention it." Brenda smiled as she batted her eyelids.

"Now that's settled, like, I think we should get going now." Shaggy commented as he glanced at his watch.

"Right!" Scrappy looked at his timer "We have only 26 hours and 56 minutes left!"

Each gender split up into their respective teams.

"We're ready to get going Mr. Van Ghoul" said Scrappy.

"To Keystone City" Vincent used his powers to zap the guys to Flash's world.

"We're ready to go Mr. V" said Dee Dee. "Send us on our way."

"I just hope I don't get a split end" Shelly remarked.

"Paradise Island." Vincent zapped the girls to Paradise Island.

Over at Paradise Island, Daphne looked around when she and the girls landed on the island.

"Wow, this place is quite beautiful." She remarked as she picked herself up off the ground.

"Yeah," Bubbles smiled "It's so pretty."

"I can see why they call it 'Paradise Island'." April stated.

"This is no time for sight seeing ladies," said Dee-Dee "We have to find Wonder Woman and fast!"

"Right behind ya, Dee!" Brenda followed Dee-Dee.

The girls went to search the island for Wonder Woman. Meanwhile, the guys ended up in Keystone City, but they landed on each other when they got there.

"Hey!" Biff tried to pick himself up "Get your prehistoric butt off me, Cavey."

"Like, how about being more respective to others, Biff?" Shaggy asked.

"Sorry" Biff said sarcastically.

"You should be lucky" Augie tried to get up "I'm getting squashed by 2 tons of blubber."

"No respect" Jabberjaw got up "Not even from someone as forgotten as me."

"This is no time to be fighting boys" said Skip "We have to find Flash."

"You heard the red haired pencil neck" Scrappy picked up Scooby "Let's get off of each other and continue our mission."

"Right." Shaggy replied as they all got up.

Mudsy saw the city "So this is Keystone City, eh?"

"Yep" said Biff "Home of the Flash. We'd better find him at once."

"Then come on gang!" Scrappy picked up Scooby "Let's go! Tada dada dada! Puppy power!"

Scrappy carried Scooby and ran forward.

"Does he always say 'puppy power' like that?" Augie asked Shaggy.

"Yep" said Shaggy.

The guys all walked into the city to find Flash.

"Say Dynomutt, do you happen to have an image of Flash with you?" Scooby asked Dynomutt.

"Let me see here..." Dynomutt said as he begins to sort through his hard drive.

Dynomutt searched his hard drive for a couple of minutes and out came an image of the Flash.

"Here ya go gang!" He showed the picture "I could track him, but he's hard to catch up to. Plus he's always running around."

"Gee," said Jabber "I guess a moving target really is harder to hit."

"Then we're gonna have to find a way to get his attention" said Blue Falcon. "Anyone have any ideas?"

"Shelly usually comes with the plans" said Clamhead "She's the brains and she's not here so...yeah."

"Beats me" Augie shrugged "We just ran into our foes back in the day."

"Me have no idea" said Captain Caveman "Teen Angels usually came up with plans to catch foes. It a lost cause."

"And Fred usually sets up traps when we need to catch people." Shaggy added.

"Heavens to Casey Kasem" said Mudsy "Looks like we're in a jam, a predicament, a sticky situation even."

"And at the end of the chapter." Augie added.

Author's Note:

Well it looks like Mudsy's right. We are indeed in a jam. But what of Charlie, Jessica, Yogi, Boo-Boo and the kids? They still have to find our potential heirs. Stay tuned for our next chapter.
