Fred videotaped the bayou after they came aboard. "Gosh, I'd sure hate to get lost in here." he commented with a chuckle.

"Well, way back in the 1700's, pirates used this bayou to hide from the law," Jacques educated them. "They know only a fool would come a'looking up in here."

Patch and Scooby soon came out through one of the windows.

"And Morgan Moonscar was one of those pirates?" Velma asked.

"He was the most famous one, him." Jacques replied.

"That looks like a catfish." Patch said as he and Scooby looked down at the waters.

"I didn't know you had dogs." Lena said, worried.

"Is that a problem, ma'am?" Atticus asked.

"We hope you don't mind, we just can't go anywhere without them." Mo said.

"Oh, I don't mind, but Simone might not feel the same..." Lena replied apologetically.

"Why wouldn't she mind?" Cherry asked. "Is she allergic to dogs?"

"Something like that..." Lena sounded distant.

Cherry gave her a wary eye in suspicion.

"Let me guess, she has cats, right?" Atticus guessed.

"Yes... You'll see..." Lena said.

"Sir, that's quite a big catfish..." Cherry looked over to Jacques as she looked into the water.

"That's probably Big Mona," Jacques explained. "There nobody never be able to catch her."

Atticus soon brought out a fishing pole and went to do just that.

"You just gave Atticus a challenge, sir." Cherry smirked.

"Oh, my..." Jacques was a little nervous for Atticus.

"I still think it's weird that you go fishing and yet you're part mermaid." Cherry said to Atticus.

"I'm a mystery nobody will ever solve." Atticus smirked before he set the right bait on the hook and the casted it into the water.

"Mess up... Mess up... Mess up... Mess up... Mess up..." Cherry said.

"Stop that!" Atticus scolded.

"Sorry." Cherry smirked.

Atticus soon took deep breaths before closing his eyes, letting the catfish come to the bait. The catfish came up from the water and squirted some water onto Cherry's face. Cherry squinted and glared as she now dripped wet. The catfish soon dived back in before it saw its favorite food, unknown it as being used as bait.

"You're mine, Big Mona..." Atticus grinned in determination.

The catfish then latched onto the hook. Atticus then used his god-like strength as he reeled in Big Mona into his arms.

Cherry flinched an folded her arms. "And the winner and still champion, Atticus Fu-"

Big Mona then whacked her in the face with her tail fin.

"Stupid catfish..." Cherry grumbled.

"I don't believe it!" Jacques looked in shock.

"I'm stronger than I look, sir." Atticus smirked.

"Besides his muscles aren't for show." Mo smiled.

Atticus smiled to that, then looked down to Big Mona. "Hello there, Fishy~..."

"You sure are one strong feller, ain't ya?" Big Mona asked.

"Yep, don't mess with me." Atticus nodded.

"Y'all speak 'Fish'!" Big Mona looked surprised.

"I can talk to all animals." Atticus smiled.

"Fascinating stuff..." Big Mona replied. "Uh, I guess this means you're gonna eat me for supper."

"No way, I'm gonna keep you as a pet." Atticus smiled before using his crystal powers making a fish bowl full of water just right size and temperature for the catfish before putting Big Mona inside.

"Oh... Perfect..." Big Mona smiled.

Patch looked up, then slightly narrowed his eyes in jealousy of Atticus having a new pet.

"Hey Patch, guess what, you get to have a new friend! And don't get jealous, okay? I see that look in your eye." Atticus told the teenage Dalmatian pup.

"A new friend...?" Patch looked into the bowl.

Big Mona swam up to the end of the bowl and gave a small smile to Patch.

"Just no splashing..." Patch warned.

"Don't worry, any pet of strong guy is a friend of mine." Big Mona smiled.

"Hm..." Patch smirked then.

There was then a group of alligators swimming up who looked rather hungry and aggressive.

"Good thing we're up here." Darla said.

"I still think we should move out of the way." Annabelle suggested.

Shaggy and Scooby were horrified, of course.

"Don't worry, guys; if any of them tries to attack us, I'll give 'em a beat down." Atticus said.

Cherry panted and wheezed. "Big Daddy Boo... Louis the Gator... Brutus and Nero... WHY AM I ALWAYS MEETING ALLIGATORS?!"

"Don't know." Atticus shrugged.

Cherry yelled out.

"Will you calm down?" Darla glared at her. "They won't hurt us."

"Uh-huh..." Cherry sounded doubtful.

"At least we haven't fallen off." Amber said.

"Or some of us..." Cherry leaned in to take a closer look.

"Cherry, you might wanna step back a little..." Mo advised.

"Why?" Cherry asked.

"Well, you could fall in..." Atticus said.

"Ah, mind your own business!" Cherry scoffed before she then lost her balance and yelped as she fell right into the water.

Atticus sighed before he decided to get good distance and then ran and dove right into the water.

Cherry spat out some water and glared, but her eyes widened at the alligators and she smiled nervously. "Nice gator..."

The alligator roared right in her face, blowing her hair back. Cherry yelled out as she tried to swim away as the alligators chased her. Atticus soon came up to the surface of the water and grabbed the alligators by the tails, stopping them in their tracks. Cherry shuddered and held herself nervously.

"It's over, Cherry." Atticus smirked.

"I wasn't scared..." Cherry poked her eyes out.

And where the alligators all then looked at Atticus and looked like they wanted to eat him for grabbing their tails, but Atticus didn't seem to be affected by their glares.

Atticus gave a death glare for the alligators. "No eating my friends!" And where he soon started to spin them around.

Cherry covered her eyes. The alligators yelled out and seemed to beg for mercy. Atticus soon stopped and let the alligators go, letting them drop into a boat and where he didn't seem to regret to let them land on the new boat. A grungy man came out from the boat and looked down to Cherry and Atticus. Atticus soon glared at the man not liking him even if he didn't know him before the strong Wiccan used his mermaid powers to make the water rise them up back onto their ship.

Cherry coughed and sputtered from the water and shook her hair as it dripped. "Gross!"

"Should've let the gators eat ya," the fisherman growled. "I can't stand tourists. And one of you even took Big Mona away!"

"Quit yer grumbling, Snakebite!" Jacques glared back. "You ain't never caught that fish and you ain't never gonna did!"

"Yeah, now that Big Mona's already gotten caught!" Darla called out to the fisherman before sticking her tongue out at him.

The fisherman scoffed and made water splash on all of them as he took his boat elsewhere.

"Not too friendly, is he?" Fred grumbled.

Soon enough, Atticus got both himself and Cherry dry.

"You okay, Big Mona?" Darla asked her brother's new pet fish.

"I hate that man..." Big Mona snarled, referring to Snakebite.

"Well, you won't have to see him ever again." Patch said.

"I certainly hope so." Big Mona replied.

A big brown pig snorted at the others on the other boat as he stayed by Snakebite's side. Patch soon blew at the big brown pig, causing a gust of window to blow the big brown pig was blown off the boat and landed into the water before Patch started to whistle innocently. The pig squealed in dismay and huddled behind Snakebite. Patch soon snorted firmly at the pig as a pig's sign he was not to be messed with. The pig seemed scared of Patch.

Patch just snickered at the pig, already knowing he had to be a bully. "You remind me of Dumpling." he then teased the pig.

"Do I even want to know who Dumpling is?" Big Mona asked.

"She's a really obnoxious pig back on the farm where my parents, brothers, and sisters live." Patch replied.

"How many?" Big Mona asked.

"Brothers and sisters?" Patch asked.

Big Mona nodded.

"Lucky... Rolly... Tripod..." Patch mumbled as he started to count. "Including me is 99."

"99?!" Big Mona asked in shock.

"Yep, 99 brothers and sisters." Patch said.

"Good thing you guys weren't huamn, you'd have some line in the bathroom." Amber joked with a laugh.

"So true." Patch laughed back in agreement.

"So, who was that thug anyway, Jacques?" Mo asked.

"That's ol' Snakebite Scruggs," Jacques informed. "He think the bayou is his own private preserve. He don't like anybody being in it, no, sir."

"Well, the next time we see him; I'll be sure to make enemies with him." Atticus smirked.

"Sounds good to me." Big Mona agreed.

"And as for that pig of his, oh, please." Patch scoffed.

The others laughed to that.

"Moonscar Island," Jacques announced as an island was coming into view. "Dead ahead."

"Thanks for the info." Atticus said.

"No problem." Jacques replied.

On the other docks, Lena appeared to be there and met them. They then drove out of the ferry to continue following Lena to her workhouse.

"Hey, Miss Lena!" Jacques shouted. "You give my best to Miss Lenoir, you hear, chere?"

"I'll do that, Jacques!" Lena shouted back. "Thanks!"

"Alright, Lena, lead the way." Atticus smiled.

"Follow me and hang on," Lena smiled back. "The road's a little bumpy."

"Yes, ma'am." Atticus saluted.

Lena smiled and went on with them following after.
