Later on, after they told them and they were shocked and upset, especially Scooby who was crying and howling as he felt heartbroken.
"Oh, man, that sucks!" Penn frowned. "She meant so much to everyone! Poor Violet!"
"Overused running gag is overused..." Cindy muttered before thinking about something. "Wait... This doesn't make any sense."
"What? That Penn's been with us for a while now, and none of us have aged and that he always gets our names wrong and yet we have to learn the same lessons all over again and tell overused jokes just for the sake of being funny or for the plot?" Ed asked, logically.
"Uh... No..." Cindy said, trying to ignore that intelligent moment for right now. "If The Nile River dried up because of Hotep's scheme, could the curse of Cleopatra actually be a hoax?"
"Hoax?" Shaggy frowned. "Like, tell that to poor Velma, turned to stone, and meanwhile, we're living the good life! Well, except for that giant scorpion part."
"Wow, Shaggy, I had no idea you cared so much for Velma." Brianna said to him.
"Of course I do, Bri; she is my friend after all." Shaggy said, slightly blushing.
"Your beeeest girl friend." Brianna smirked.
Shaggy didn't say anything, but still blushed as Scooby was howling.
"Poor Scoob, look at him, he's heartbroken." Jessie cooed as she soon hugged the cowardly Great Dane.
"Well, I can't say I blame him..." Jonny frowned, remembering what happened to his father along with the others who were with Velma.
"Oh, Scooby..." Daphne frowned.
Scooby whimpered sadly.
"I got something that might cheer you up," Daphne smiled. "Recognize this?"
Scooby smiled as Daphne put his collar back on around his neck.
"The ankh necklace!" Daphne gasped. "I had it in my bag."
"Darla, did you drop it?" Penn asked.
"Seriously, learn names already..." Cindy told him before looking back at the redheaded girl. "That can't be good though."
"I-I'm not sure actually," Daphne panicked. "Where is it?!"
"I'm afraid that the thieves who attacked you now got away not empty handed." Amahl replied.
"Then they must've known what they were stealing." Fred narrowed his eyes.
"Amelia von Butch!" Daphne gasped before glaring. "She knew the necklace was the key to the curse!"
"If Amelia has the necklace, we may never turn Velma and the others back to normal and they could be stone cold forever." Cindy replied.
"Hang on, Cin, I feel a plan coming on." Fred said.
Cindy soon let out an involuntary gulp.
"Just trust me, okay?" Fred smiled, putting his arm around her. "You can trust in me."
"Yeah, I do, as long as I'm not the bait." Cindy said.
"You relax, we'll take care of this." Fred said.
"Uh, but can we see that Dark Magician Girl again?" Penn asked.
"You're not her type..." Cleo told him. "I know exactly what you're thinking and forget it. You're worse than my Uncle Spookenkhamun."
"Damn it." Penn complained.
Everyone just shook their heads and rolled their eyes.
Later on...
"Okay, gang, we're all set," Fred told the others. "Daphne, Brianna, you and your team know what to do. Scooby and Shaggy, you and your team follow me."
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby cheered.
"Quiet!" Reba told the Great Dane, putting her hand over his mouth.
"Let's get dangerous." Mike said.
June and Dee Dee then nodded as they looked serious.
"It's adventure time." Dee Dee said.
"That's not your catchphrase." Mike told her.
"And let's get dangerous isn't yours." Dee Dee retorted.
"Huh... Touché." Mike replied as that was a good point.
Dee Dee giggled and then followed after the group.
The teams split up and they came out as this: Daphne and Brianna's team consisted of Daphne, Brianna, Trent, Reba, Haley, Hank, Dean, Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit, and Shaggy and Scooby's team consisted of Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, Mike, June, Dee Dee, the Eds, Penn, Cindy, Cleo, and Tanis.
"This reminds me of that video game Tomb Raider." Ed smiled in excitement.
"Only shame is we can't meet Lara Croft." Eddy smirked.
Scooby then headed down the stairs.
"Scooby, wait, I said follow me!" Fred told the Great Dane.
"Don't worry, Fred; we'll be right behind you the whole time." Shaggy reassured.
"And I'll stay here to protect Jessie." Hank added.
"I can handle myself, thank you." Jessie said, a bit firmly.
"Uh, you sure?" Hank asked.
"Wanna watch the back of my hand?" Jessie threatened, showing her hand.
"I'll back off." Hank then said nervously.
"Smart idea." Jessie said to him.
"I bet." Eddy deadpanned.
They soon went off with their group to begin exploring. Scooby was in the lead since he was a dog and he was sniffing out for clues like a dog would normally do on mysteries.
"So, Cleo, Tanis, how have you guys been?" Mike asked the mummy girls. "It's been a while since we talked."
"Oh, you know, I'm trying to make sure that Nefera doesn't ruin mine or Tanis's lives." Cleo replied.
"You know, something different." Mike deadpanned in a way.
Cleo smiled bashfully to that.
"It's so nice that you guys are close, sometimes I'd like a little brother or sister." Mike then said about Cleo and Tanis's bond.
"Cleo is the best big sister I could ever have." Tanis smiled.
Mike smiled at their bonding, glad that they were getting along.
"Find anything yet, Snoopy?" Penn asked.
Cindy rolled her eyes.
"Huh?" Scooby soon looked up and found a stone figure of someone before running to Shaggy's arms and shivered with him. "Rikes!"
"It's Rock Rivers!" June gasped.
"The curse has claimed another victim!" Eddy added.
"Rock Rivers is solid... Rock!" Fred cried before knocking on the hollow state of the celebrity.
They then heard some kind of moan from the other side.
"Listen, guys, it must be The Undead Army, they must be close by." Fred told the others.
"Not again, like, for once in my life, I don't want my mummy!" Shaggy yelped.
"Calm down, Shaggy." Penn told him.
"How can I calm down in a time like this?!" Shaggy panicked.
"It kills me say this, but Penn's right, we're fine right now, and we can't let a thing like fear stop us from growing as people." Cindy said to the cowardly teen.
Shaggy didn't say anything, but shivered as they were still walking. They noticed something; the mummies guards captured Amelia, Natasha, and Campbell, they got down so they couldn't see them.
"Let go of me!" Amelia demanded.
"It's Dr. von Butch and the gruesome twosome." Mike commented.
"I know it's not good news." June muttered.
Some of the mummy guards looked to Cleo and Tanis before bowing to them.
"Look at this; Dr. von Butch has the ankh necklace." Dee Dee told the others.
"Okay, guys, it's time for Phase 2." Fred told the others.
"And that would be?" Penn prompted.
Scooby and Shaggy shrugged.
"Shall I help?" Cleo smirked. "I do have an eye for detail."
"Sure." Fred said.
"Me too, pretty please?" Tanis smiled.
"You think you can match your big sister's fashion sense?" Cleo playfully teased.
"Aw, come on, I give makeovers to the other Grimwood Girls all the time." Tanis giggled.
"Okay, you can help." Cleo chuckled to her little sister.
"Yaaay!" Tanis cheered.
Shaggy and Scooby looked nervous at first.
"Relax, Shaggy, I do this all the time with the others when we have special parties with Miss Grimwood." Tanis smiled as she brought out make-up with Cleo.
"Glad that we're not doing it." Eddy commented.
"Who says that you get to get out of it?" Cleo smirked.
Eddy and Double D looked at each other nervously while Ed just laughed as he was excited the most.
"Tanis, bring out the big guns," Cleo said. "The make-up that Mummy sent you for your birthday while you were in school."
"Oh, yeah!" Tanis beamed before taking out very special Ancient Egyptian cosmetics.
"Mummify me!" Ed smiled.
"As you wish." Cleo and Tanis replied.
"I don't like this." Double D gulped.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt." Tanis said.
"Yeah, at least we're not giving up your organs to Hapy, Imsety, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef." Cleo added.
"WHAT?!" Double D and Eddy asked.
"Relax, you guys, she was only kidding." Mike told them.
"If only I was." Cleo muttered.
Tanis and Cleo then began to work their makeover magic on the Ed boys. Penn looked to Cindy.
"Those people are the gods that looked over internal organs for people when they would be mummified." Cindy told him.
Penn nodded with a silent thumb's up. Cindy raised her eyebrows at her 'uncle', but didn't say anything.
"Hold still, we're almost done." Cleo said.
"Why do I have to wear a skirt?" Eddy complained.
"It's not a skirt, it's a tunic." Tanis told him.
"Same thing!" Eddy defended.
"And there we go." Cleo then said as they finished.
Tanis pulled out a mirror so they can see what they look like.
"Good Lord!" Double D gasped. "Do we have to look a bit hideous?"
"Do you wanna get past those guys or not?" Cleo asked, a bit firmly.
"But I can't see my handsome face!" Eddy defended.
"Look, Dee Dee, I've become a mummy just like in my dreams!" Ed beamed.
"All right, guys, just settle down, it's only temporary." Mike told them.
"That's easy for you to say." Eddy complained.
Cleo and Tanis took the lead to let the guards put their weapons down since they were princesses.
"Ahem... We're here for the Cleopatra party." Cleo informed.
"Who are they?" The guard asked.
"These are our bodyguards; they've come with us." Tanis replied.
The guards just glanced at their 'bodyguards' as they didn't seem like any other mummies they had seen before. The guards then stepped back and seemed to let them pass through.
"Thanks, man." Shaggy smiled before walking with Scooby as they moaned like mummies with the Eds following behind as Cleo and Tanis walked them through.
"Thank you." Cleo said.
"It was nice meeting you." Tanis added with a giggle.
Unfortunately, a bandage from Scooby's tail touched a rock as he walked off. Double D saw that and panicked, he just hoped that the mummy guards didn't see that, but unfortunately, they had.
"Oh, crap, run for your lives!" Eddy panicked.
"Oh, dear." Double D frowned.
"Did I mess up?" Tanis pouted.
"No, no, sweetie, it's not your fault." Cleo soothed her baby sister.
"So much for 'Monster-Piece Theater'." Shaggy frowned.
"Less talking, more running!" Eddy replied.
They soon ran off to avoid the guards and seemed to get separated.
"Guys, over here!" Tanis called out before whistling.
The boys then followed after the princesses, luckily for them, the guards didn't see them.
"Phew! That was close." Double D said to the others.
"Like, I'll say," Shaggy agreed before sitting on a box and wincing which made him stand right back up. "Like, what's up with the soggy seating arrangements?"
"Hmm... That appears to be a caementum substance." Double D said.
"What does that mean in English?" Eddy deadpanned.
"Cement." Double D said.
"What would a bag of cement be doing here?" Cleo wondered.
"You got me." Eddy replied.
"You mean it's not some sort of Ancient Egyptian thing?" Tanis asked.
"None that I know of, Tanis." Cleo told her little sister.
They soon heard the moan again and looked out to see several mummy guards together for some sort of ceremony.
"Holy cow, you guys, we made it!" Shaggy told the others.
"All we got to do is sit tight and wait until Fred and the others give us the signal." Eddy said.
"You guys, look down there!" Double D told them.
They soon looked down as Amelia and her helpers were being hostages by the mummy guards.
Two of them soon bowed as fog came up into the form of a certain princess. "Who dares disturb the tomb of The Great Cleopatra?"
"In the name of Isis: goddess of Egypt, be merciful to us, O Queen of the Nile!" Amelia said as she bowed to Cleopatra.
Campbell and Natasha looked at each other, then followed their boss's movement and bowed to the princess.
"Yeah!" Campbell said.
"What she said!" Natasha added.
A mummy soon came by Cleopatra and gestured for the others to come forth as they had a sarcophagus. The mummy guards soon picked Campbell up and forced him into it before shutting it as they began to do the same to Natasha. Then both of the sarcophaguses glowed, thanks to Cleopatra and it was opened, revealing that Campbell and Natasha had been turned into stone.
"That's disturbing." Double D commented.
"Your greed has brought you far, and through many dangers to look upon my golden beauty," Cleopatra said to Amelia. "Now you shall receive what you came for!"
The masking soon glowed apart and revealed a very gross looking cadaver face of Cleopatra who then hissed and roared, frightening Amelia.
"NO!" Amelia cried out as she went to run off. "It can't end like this for me! If you let me go, I promise I'll stop treasure hunting, I'll open an orphanage, I'll save the rainforest, I'LL RECYCLE!"
"Is it weird that I feel bad for her?" Double D asked.
"Sockhead, you know what she did." Eddy reminded.
Double D looked at him.
"Yeah, I think I know what you mean though." Eddy had to admit.
"It is too late for that now!" Cleopatra said as she grabbed her face.
The guards brought in another sarcophagus just for Amelia so she could be turned into stone.
"Oh, no, it's too horrible, you guys!" Shaggy cried out. "I can't bear to watch it anymore!"
Everyone covered their eyes, but Ed peaked and saw Fred, Mike, June, Dee Dee, Penn, and Cindy wearing armor and waved to them. "Hey, it's the guys!" Ed told the others.
They soon looked over while Fred did some gestures after getting their attention.
"Like, either Fred's taken up ancient aerobics or that's the signal." Shaggy told the others.
"I say it's the signal," Double D said. "Hit it!"
"Hit what?" Ed asked.
"It's just an expression, Ed." Eddy deadpanned.
"Oh, yeah." Ed replied.
Both Scooby and Ed then took off their outfits and grabbed the bandages so that they could swing over to Fred without being seen. The boys then tossed their bandages to be like a vine and soon swung on them.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby announced.
"And, like, Shaggy too!" Shaggy added.
"George, George, George of the Jungle, friend to you and me~" Ed randomly sang.
Unfortunately for them, they got hit in the gong and landed on the ground which caused Cleopatra, the guards, and Amelia to look at them.
"That's gotta hurt." Cleo winced.
Tanis merely nodded in agreement.
"I think I'm deaf now." Cindy said as the sound hurt her ears.
Fred soon cute the rope to release a boat while Cleopatra looked enraged.
"Everyone, into the boat!" Mike told the others.
Everyone then ran except for Penn and Fred.
"Hey, wait for us!" Penn told them.
"Get on board!" Cindy told them.
Fred put the sword down and soon ran with Penn. Mike helped them up, grunting slightly, but she was strong enough to help them on.
"Thanks, Mike." Fred said.
"No problem." Mike replied.
Fred looked over to see the other group on the boat just like in the plan. A man smiled and winked to them before beating the drum while the people rowed the boat. Daphne and Brianna were then seen, sitting and dressed like Cleopatra and her sister, Arsinoe.
"Man, this feels weird." Brianna commented as she tugged on her dress.
Daphne stood up, though yelped as her headdress nearly fell off. Brianna helped her out and smiled as they were going to pose as the royal sisters of Ancient Egypt.
"Ahem!" Daphne soon cleared her throat before moving forward with Brianna. "Behold, I am the Great and Powerful Cleopatra, and with me is my sister, Arsinoe. All shall bow down before us!"
Cleopatra snarled to the girls as her eyes glowed.
"Two Cleopatras and even an Arsinoe?" Amelia asked out of disbelief.
"But that's not all, but I've brought my children as well," Daphne then continued. "My twins: Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene, and my two sons: Caesarion and Ptolemy Philadelphus."
Hank, Dean, Jessie, and Hadji then came out, dressed as the children of Cleopatra. The boat soon docked and the people brought out boards to cross onto the dry land after flowing through the water.
"Cindy, this might get violent..." Penn said before taking out a blindfold and stretched it out before tying it to her head to cover her eyes.
Cindy waved her hands as she couldn't see, so Penn picked her up and carried her on his back. "A piggy back ride from a pig." She then smirked.
"HEY!" Penn glared.
Fred and Trent soon both nodded to each other. Fred and Trent soon moved in with spears while the others attacked the mummy guards. The mummy guards soon attacked them right back. However, the mummy guards' weapons were taken from them suddenly from a giant magnet. They then looked over and saw that Reba was the one who had done it.
"Didn't your mamas ever tell you it's not nice to play with weapons?" Reba taunted them.
The mummy guards soon hooked onto the boat and began to climb up after Daphne and Brianna and carried them away.
"Daphne!/Brianna!" Fred and Trent cried out.
"What do we do now?" Penn asked.
"RETREAT!" Trent told him.
"Great plan, Travis." Penn deadpanned.
"Trent." Trent corrected.
"Whatever." Penn shrugged.
Jonny and Haley looked out since they were the only ones on the boat.
"Oh, no, Daphne and Brianna have been captured; what do we do?" Haley frowned.
Jonny didn't say anything, but looked at the water, thinking about his dad, then narrowed his eyes. "We're going to save them," he said as he looked down at his Millennium item. "We got this so that we could save people we care for. Are you in or are you in?"
"Let's do it." Haley replied.
Jonny and Haley held their hands without trying to blush and closed their eyes as their items glowed and the Millennium Eye appeared on their foreheads. Everyone stopped what were are doing and looked at the boat.
"I didn't know that the plan came with a light show." Penn commented.
Cindy soon uncovered her eyes and put her glasses back on. "It's The Millennium Eye!"
Jonny and Haley soon glowed all around their bodies almost as though they appeared to be transforming in some way.
"Amazing!" Cindy said as she pulled out her camera and took a picture of this.
Jonny and Haley looked bigger and stronger now like how Yugi would transform while going into a card duel for Yu-Gi-Oh.
"Wow! This is amazing, but how could they get like that?" Cindy commented. "Wait a minute, that's The Millennium Crown and Ring."
"Wait a minute, isn't there one Millennium Ring?" Penn asked.
"Yes, you're right, Penn," Cindy told him. "One was for evil and one was used for good which was never used until now."
"Wow!" Penn replied.
"What is this?" Cleopatra hissed.
"Don't you recognize The Millennium Treasure?" Hadji glared.
Cleo and Tanis gasped slightly.
"The Millennium Crown and Ring? But that's impossible," Cleo said. "Nobody can control their power."
"The power has been hidden away ever since Amon and Safiya died." Tanis added.
"We must put a stop to this." Haley said.
"Yes, we must." Jonny agreed.
"What is going on?!" Cleopatra demanded.
"The children of Pharaoh Khafre are back." Cleo and Tanis informed.
"WHAT?!" Cleopatra demanded.
"Yep, and you're in big trouble." Cleo smirked.
"Guards, get those kids!" Cleopatra demanded.
The guards obeyed and then went to go after Jonny and Haley.
"Looks like they want to do this the hard way." Haley frowned.
"They always do..." Jonny sighed and shook his head.
"A bunch of fools, they are!" Cleopatra laughed.
"I wouldn't say that." Cleo smirked.
"SIBLING POWER!" Haley and Jonny yelled out and suddenly, a golden dragon came out from behind them. "AETHER: THE EMPOWERING DRAGON!"
The dragon roared once he was summoned from the powers of Prince Safiya and Prince Amon.
"Aether the Empowering Dragon!" Cindy exclaimed. "Man, that's so cool!"
"As long as it doesn't eat us." Penn commented.
Haley and Jonny soon came to Daphne and Brianna with the golden dragon.
"You seem like you could use some help." Haley said.
"Wow, thanks, Hal-I mean, uh, Princess Safiya." Brianna said.
"I have a heart after all." Haley replied.
"Come, before it's too late." Jonny said.
"We're going to ride the dragon?" Daphne asked.
"He won't hurt you." Haley promised.
The dragon let out a small snarl.
"It's all right, Aereth, they're friends." Jonny said, sounding very gentle as Prince Amon.
"I like your guys' outfits, but the color of your capes are wrong," Daphne commented. "They don't match."
"Fashion critique later, come on." Brianna replied.
"Oh, um, right." Daphne replied before going with Brianna.
"What's wrong with my cape?" Jonny frowned. "This was a gift from The Ambassador of New Delhi."
"Nothing, you look good." Haley comforted.
"Thank you," Jonny replied before commanding, "All right, Aereth, let's go."
The dragon let out a small roar and bent down to let them ride. Haley and Jonny already got on ahead since they were controlled by the long gone siblings and Aereth trusted them instantly.
"Jeepers! I can't believe that we're riding a real dragon!" Daphne gasped.
"Get them!" Cleopatra commanded.
"You can try, but you never will!" Haley called out.
