Meanwhile somewhere over the ocean, the helicopter jet carrying Shaggy's group carried on with its flight to Japan.

"How long is it before we get to Japan, Uncle Scooby?" Scrappy took out the timer from his tag "We've only got 6 hours and 12 minutes left before you know what!"

"We're here!" Scooby pointed outside the window.

Sure enough, they could see the iconic Mount Fuji in the distance from the cockpit.

"About time" Mudsy commented. "It feels like we're getting invisible by the minute."

"Say, Mudsy." Shaggy asked. "Like, how does it feel to be forgotten?"

"Yeah" said Daphne "Doesn't it feel bad you don't get to do what you used to do?"

"To be honest Daphne," said Mudsy "Sometimes I do miss the good old days of riding in the Looney Duney and solving mysteries with the kids, but there are some great things about being forgotten."

"Like what?" Scooby asked.

"Well we may have lost our mystery solving careers but at least we found something better," Mudsy told them "A home."

"A home?" Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne asked.

"Indubitably" Mudsy said "We don't have to deal with bad guys or monsters. We don't have to do the same thing all the time, we can truly have a place we can call our own and we can lead normal, happy lives. Have you guys ever wanted to have normal, happy lives?"

Shaggy and Daphne looked at each other and Scooby.

"You know, I've always wanted to live a happy, normal life and take good care of Flim-Flam." Daphne replied.

"Yeah, like, he really needs someone like you as his mother, Daph." Shaggy nodded.

"And don't forget about him needing a father, Shag." Daphne said as she smiled at him. "Perhaps somebody like you."

"Like, hear that, Scoob?" Shaggy asked. "Daph says that I could be a good father."

"Reah" Scooby smiled. "I've always wanted to live a happy, normal life and take good care of Scrappy."

"Yeah" Scrappy said "Uncle Scooby's practically my father. This is saying something because well, my real father didn't want me around. Neither did my mother. That's why they threw me in a box at a train station where Uncle Scooby was."

Scooby nodded as he patted his nephew.

"Like, living together in a place where we can actually call a home works with me." Shaggy smiled as Daphne placed her hand on his shoulder. "Imagine Scoob, Scrappy, Daph, Flim Flam and I living together as one happy family with no monsters or spooks to worry about."

"I sure like that idea, Shag." Daphne agreed and smiled back at Shaggy. "But we can only accomplish this after saving the world."

"Right" Shaggy nodded. "Speaking of saving the world, we're almost at the temple."

"Well off we go" said Mudsy "Onward. To the temple, stage left."

The six protagonists then made their way to the ancient temple to recover the sword.

Back on Messick Island, Fred's group crawled through the air vent, hoping to free the other prisoners and then find their hearts.

"Do you think we've made it sis?" Madelyn asked Velma.

"Let me check" Velma looked through an air vent and saw Dr. Zin and his allies. "Yep! We're there!"

"Velma, do you see anything that can get me back to my own dimension?" Hector asked Velma.

"Let me see..." Velma replied as she and the others quietly looked around.

"Guys look!" Marcie pointed down to something "There's a doorway leading to Hector's world. We have to distract those guys and get to the portal. Once Hector jumps into it, we'll shut it down."

"Gee Marcie, that's not a bad idea" said Hector.

Meanwhile inside of Hector, Ozzy, Drix and Maria finally made it down to the stomach, deep in Bowel Town.

"Here we are boys" said Maria "Come on."

Ozzy, Drix and Maria got out of the car and made their way to a dark alley.

"What's the code word?" said a voice in the shadows.

"Hector's hopping hemorids and hamstrings" said Drix.

"Come inside" said the strange guy.

Our heroes walked into the valley and they were finally able to see the guy.

"Osmosis Jones, Drixonel and Maria Amibo" said the guy "Glad to see you made it."

"Great to see you too Mr. Mole" said Ozzy "Listen, Hector's heart is going to be sucked out and we need to find a way to get into it so we can stop it from being sucked out."

"We are told you might have some stuff that'll help us" said Maria "So where is it?"

The Mole reached into his coat pocket and handed Ozzy a map.

"Here is the way to Hector's heart." He said "Be careful and make sure it doesn't stop beating. There is a control center that monitors it. Take the back door and try not to get caught."

"Got it" said Ozzy.

"And now," said the Mole "I shall vanish mysteriously."

The Mole activated some smoke bombs, but when it cleared, the Mole was still there.

"I don't know why I keep doing that" he said.

The heroes looked at each other and shrugged.

Back on the human world in Crystal Cove, Mr. E was giving Augie, Skip, the Teen Angels and the Neptune's the information. Along with Alice May, who was disguised as April.

"So, you still haven't told us Mr. E" said Augie "What's the info you wanted to give us?"

"Yes Mr. E" Alice said "You heard this handsome, sexy guy. Spill the beans."

"Right" Mr. E nodded before snapping his fingers.

Within minutes, members of the original Mystery Inc entered the room.

"Original Mystery Inc?" Jabberjaw raised an eyebrow "What're you talking about?"

"Yeah" said Bubbles "What's going on? What's this about 'original Mystery Inc'?"

"We were a group of mystery solvers that was active in Crystal Cove before the gang you know came on." Brad Chiles replied. "The current gang happened to have the same group name as us."

"Wowee wow wow" said Clamhead "That's intriguing."

"So, who are you guys exactly?" Skip asked.

"I'm Brad Chiles, the leader." Brad replied, introducing himself. "This is my wife Judy Reeves. You all have already met Ricky Owens, who is known to you all as 'Mr. E', and his wife is Cassidy Williams."

"And don't forget about Professor Pericles, the team mascot." Ricky added just as the parrot flew in through the window and landed on his shoulder.

"Nice meeting you all." The parrot smiled, and the kids can detect the German accent in his voice.

"And how exactly do you know your successors?" Dee-Dee asked "And how are you guys gonna help us?"

"It's a long story." Judy replied. "And now, for the important information you heroes need."

"So, what is it?!" The kids all said at the same time.

"The Sword of Doom" Mr. E replied. "It's a very dangerous weapon that is capable of draining the hearts out of characters and has the power to imprison them in an electro-prison."

"S-s-s-sword of Doom?!" Jabberjaw and Clamhead jumped into each other's arms.

"Electro-prison?" the others gasped.

"Gee, that sounds awful" said Skip "But why do you need us?"

"We need you to pass the information to Mystery Inc." Brad replied. "They had the pleasure of encountering the sword during a trip to Japan years ago."

"I see." Skip nodded. "Speaking of the sword, is there something that can counter the effects?"

"Yes." Cassidy nodded. "We're getting to that, now."

"Right" Ricky nodded. "The only object that can defeat the Sword of Doom is the Sword of Fate, which is guarded by a green dragon living in a cave on an island off the coast of Japan."

"Jumping jellyfish" Biff exclaimed "We've gotta get there and find the others."

"Don't worry" said Judy "We have something that can get us there fast! Come on!"

"Come on April" Augie grabbed Alice's hand. "We gotta find Mudsy and the others."

"Just keep holding onto me, you sexy sweetheart" Alice kissed Augie on the cheek.

Elmo started growling at Alice.

"Shut up you stupid mutt!" She secretly kicked him "You're blowing my cover. Oh do carry me Augie, I'd go myself but, my widdle footsies hurt."

"If you insist" Augie held out his arms.

"Oh Augie" she jumped into his arms "You're so sweet."

Alice then wrapped her arms around Augie's neck and kissed him right on the lips.

Elmo couldn't take it, and he responded by biting Alice in the leg.

"Owww!" Alice exclaimed as she broke her kiss with Augie.

"Elmo, bad dog!" Augie shouted crossly. "Why did you bite mommy?"

Elmo didn't reply as he continued to growl at Alice.

"I'll take care of him." Alice said to Augie before picking up Elmo and threw him out of the room through the doorway.

"Ouch!" A familiar-sounding voice said.

"Huh?" Everyone turned around.
