The family were in the garden area of the farm, which was just where they would occasionally grow plants either just for the fun of it, to make the house seem more beautiful or just annoy Eustace who still won't admit he can't grow anything. Courage was next to Shaggy and Scooby holding another flower similar to the one they were standing around which died recently.
"You once were so pretty and smelled so sweet, and now look at you," Muriel said sadly.
"Sad to see it go away," Courage said sadly.
"I took a bath last Tuesday!" Eustace shouted from his truck which he was 'fixing.'
"I wasn't talking to you Eustace," Muriel shouted back, before turning to Scooby and Courage. "Boys, do your stuff!"
Scooby sat up tall with a determined look on his face, he saluted, "Rou got it Ruirel!"
"Uh-oh," Shaggy muttered under his breath, before backing away from the hole and knew what was gonna happen next.
Courage who was already digging a hole about ten times bigger than they need.
"Boys. Boys, you can both stop now," Muriel told them but it only fell on deaf ears. "Or maybe you can't."
Shaggy chuckled at both of his friends. Once you tell them to start digging, they'll like, never stop. He thought to himself, he knew that if you ask Scooby or Courage to dig, sometimes they'll go overboard. But he couldn't blame them, they're dogs, it's in their nature to dig.
In the hole, Scooby and Courage continued to dig until, they saw something round.
"Rourage, what's that?" Scooby asked.
"I don't know," Courage replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Did you find something?" Muriel asked, calling from above the hole the dogs just dig.
Courage stared intently at a...bone? "This weird bone," he answered as he pulled a weird looking bone from the ground.
"Where do you suppose that came from?" Muriel asked, curiously.
"Like, I don't think I wanna know what animal that bone belong's to," Shaggy said, looking nervously at the bone Courage just found, he suddenly felt unsettled about the strange bone.
"Rhere do you think it came from Rourage?" Scooby asked, awestruck.
"I don't know Scoob," Courage shrugged, his mind filled for a moment as he thought maybe the bone came from a chicken? No, a squirrel? No, a whale? No.
"Hey guys, check out that bone," a voice suddenly said.
"Rhoa!" Scooby exclaimed in shock.
Scooby and Courage saw that hole they dug was now even bigger with three other people digging close by.
"That was quick," Courage commented, he stared at the workers in shock on at how quickly they worked.
"GRAND! GRAND!" a new and familiar voice called out next to Shaggy and Muriel.
"My possies!" Muriel gasped, when she realized her plants were gone and probably destroyed.
"Mr. Fith, like, what are you doing here?" Shaggy asked, his eyes wide with confusion.
"See for yourself," Mr. Fith answered pointing to where the others were digging.
"Oh, my," Muriel gasped in shock.
Shaggy felt a slight chill go through him, "Like, what is that?"
In the pit that the people dug up, was a giant skeleton of what seemed to be a giant kangaroo.
Heading inside the house, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went up to the attic, getting there, Scooby placed the bone in the scanner while Courage turned the computer on. He then started typing in the command for it to scan the bone which it did a second later.
"Okay computer, tell us about the bone," Courage told the computer.
"What a hideous sculpture. I detest modern art," the computer said in a bored tone.
"Rust tell us about the bone," Scooby replied crossly.
"Alright. Here's what you want to know. It's from a very rare, very extinct, very huge kangaroo monster," the computer began showing the three an image of the same skeleton they saw outside before showing them what it looked like when it was alive.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage gasped in shock at how big and terrifying the creature looked.
"A social outgoing creature. That loved to crush anything that moved..." the computer continued while showing a chicken that got stomped on by the kangaroo monster. "…to a pulpy pancake."
"Zoinks," Shaggy breathed.
"Rikes," Scooby said shaking his head with immense worry.
Courage also gasped, fear rosing up in him.
"But that was then... this is now," the computer said while showing the kangaroo monster buried in a comically small grave with its legs still sticking out. "They are all extinct."
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage all sighed with relief.
"Like, that's a relief," Shaggy said, his hand to his head.
Courage shuddered, "Can you imagine if those creatures were still alive?" He shiver at the thought of those monsters roaming through the city crushing and devouring people.
"RI don't WANT to imagine it," Scooby retorted his legs buckling underneath him, while looking at the bone still in the scanner.
"And the bones are very, very valuable," the computer answered.
"Come on dudes, let's go tell Aunt Muriel about this," Shaggy said, as he took the bone from the scanner.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage went back down and exited the house and saw Mr. Fith whispering something to Muriel.
"Oh, you are cheeky," Muriel said with annoyance clearly looking not pleased, as she slapped him silly.
"OOOH!" Mr. Fith moaned, as his eyes rolled in his head.
"Like, what was that about?" Shaggy asked, as he turned to his dog friends, who both give him a shrug and confused looks.
"Oh, there you boys are, what did you find?" Muriel asked when she saw the trio coming towards her.
"Something very interesting!" Courage answered while he started hopping up and down excitedly, and pointing the bone to Shaggy's hands.
But before the three could continue, Eustace shouted angrily getting the trio's attention.
"STUPID BONE STEALING SHAGGY-HAIRED-FELLA! GIVE THAT BACK!" Eustace demanded, he hit the podium with his fist which caused it to fall of the roof. Which also somehow caused him to lose his balance and fall down the roof with a sickening thud. And the bones that were also on the roof sliding down and falling on him. "OW!"
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage winced, at what they saw and hear the moans of pain of the old farmer. The archeologists took away all the bones and left behind Eustace with his limbs and spine twisted in ways that should not be possible, humanly or not.
"Oh, my, we best take Eustace to the hospital," Muriel said with worry as she rushed into the house.
"Tsk, Tsk, tsk. Oh, no, this is not good," Dr. Vindaloo said as he looked over the x-ray, he took of Eustace's spine which looked like an infinite symbol. "You need a disk transplant, yes, a disk transplant."
"Oh, my, that sounds serious," Muriel fretted.
"Sounds expensive," Eustace complained.
"Dude, I think a little money is worth more, than your own life," Shaggy pointed out dryly to his uncle.
"Very serious," Dr. Vindaloo said confirming what Muriel said.
"Rhat should we do?" Scooby asked.
"You need to find a replacement bone, though, it's hard to find a bone that's just the right size and shape," Dr. Vindaloo answered. "But you have to, otherwise, there will be terrible complications. Complications."
"Like, where can we even find a bone like that? It's not like they sell them in stores," Shaggy asked anxiously.
"Wait, I have an idea," Courage protested an idea just slid into his mind, "Will this do?" he pulled out the bone he and Scooby dug up from earlier.
"That'll do," Dr. Vindaloo answered as he took the bone.
"This is a very delicate procedure, very delicate. Only the most advanced methods can be employed," Dr. Vindaloo explained to the family as he stood next to Eustace who was lying down on the operating table. "It requires great care, keen awareness and a practiced steady hand."
Dr. Vindaloo turned around and placed the bone on Eustace's back. Eustace gasped when he saw what Dr. Vindaloo was about to do.
"This is going to leave a mark," Courage muttered a nervous breath through his teeth.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage found that they couldn't look, they all shut their eyes as Eustace screamed in pain when Dr. Vindaloo started pounding the bone into his back, with other bones in his body breaking from the hits.
"Like, that's gotta hurt," Shaggy winced, frowning and covering his eyes.
"Rhis is why I hate doctors," Scooby barked, cringing at Eustace's agonized screams.
Dr. Vindaloo threw away the hammer and placed some duct tape in Eustace's back, he then waved to the family too so that they know that the procedure was completed and a success.
"That was painful to watch," Courage spoke up as he, Shaggy, Scooby and Muriel clapped. I never wanna see a surgery preform like that again!
That night, Courage woke up to find Eustace groaning in pain, and complaining, about his back.
"….Trying to destroy me," Eustace moaned, as he walked opened the door and went out of the bedroom, while groaning in pain.
Courage smiled, Eustace will probably be in the bathroom all night. He jumped onto his pillow, for a bit to sleep by Muriel and sighed, with delight. Then what seemed like a minute later, Courage woke up and opened his eyes to the sound of crashing, and saw that Shaggy and Scooby were in his masters' bedroom.
"Like, what's going on?" Shaggy asked, with a yawn.
"I don't know Shaggy dear, but can you two and Courage check on Eustace, he went to the bathroom a bit ago and I'm getting worried for him," Muriel answered.
"Like, okay, come on fellas," Shaggy said while Scooby holding the door open for Courage who looked like he was about to collapse any moment from lack of sleep.
Teeth met Courage's scruff as Scooby dragged him and dropped him onto his back.
"Thanks," Courage muttered halfheartedly fighting through a yawn, he could barley keep his eyes open anymore.
Scooby looked at his small canine friend, even if he is exhausted, he'll obey Muriel and do as she asks. He smiled. Re definitely is men's best friend. "Ro, what do you think was that loud sound?" he couldn't help but ask him.
"Probably have something to do with the farmer," Courage replied, as his friends made their way to the bathroom.
Soon, Shaggy, Scooby and Courage were by the bathroom door.
"Uncle Eustace, like, are you-" Shaggy began as he opened the door, only to go silent when he fully opened the door and he, Scooby and Courage came face to face with the giant glasses of EUSTACE.
Shaggy just slowly closed the door without either of the trio saying anything, the cowardly trio then made their way back to Muriel who was sitting up on bed and putting on her boots.
"Is everything okay boys?" Muriel asked.
Shaggy, Scooby and Courage just looked back out the hall for a moment before giving an answer.
"Like, it's Kangzilla!" Shaggy cried out.
Courage let out a long scream of terror.
The family then felt the ground slightly vibrating, and it sounded like it was coming right outside the window, turning to it, the family saw the same giant form of Eustace appeared. He then reached inside the room and grabbed Shaggy and Muriel. The cowardly teen screamed in fright.
"BOYS HELP!" Muriel screamed as she and Shaggy were pulled out of the room.
"RAGGY!" Scooby shouted in horror, as he rushed over to rescue his best friend.
"MURIEL!" Courage screamed out in horror, as he slide off Scooby's back and rushed over to rescue his owner.
Courage grabbed onto Muriel's foot, while Scooby grabbed onto Shaggy's hands.
"Rold...on," Scooby strained between teeth, trying to pull his best friend back inside as hard as he could, while Shaggy was holding into Scooby's paws, as best as he can.
Courage tried to pull Muriel back inside, but failed when her boot slipped of causing him to land on his back. Scooby try to hang on for dear life, but Eustace simply give a great shake and flick Scooby off of Shaggy, and Scooby was sent flying across the room, and the Great Dane hit the wall and instantly black out. Courage raced forward to the knocked-out Scooby
"SCOOBY!" Shaggy screamed out to his dog as he was pulled out from the window, he flutily tried to pull himself out of the giant kangaroo's grip.
Eustace laughed as he held Muriel and Shaggy each in his hands.
Shaggy kept trying pull himself free while crying out, "Like, let us go!"
Eustace ignored his terrified nephew he then put them in his pouch, as Shaggy quivered in fear and shut his eyes. Eustace then hopped away from the farmhouse.
In the pouch, Shaggy had tried to shout and scream to his uncle to put him and his aunt down, but his uncle was too stubborn to listen. He saw that Eustace had destroy the skyscraper. Man, this gonna take forever for the workers to clean up, once my uncle is done with this place. He thought, although that was the least of his worries.
In the living room, Courage had carried the unconscious Scooby down the stairs and lay him next to Muriel's rocking chair, where he sit down and flipped the television on and turned to the news he knew that would be reporting it.
"Well, that's one skyscraper that won't be scraping no skies," the reporter announced as he showed the skyscraper that Eustace just destroyed.
"HELP!" Courage watch Muriel and Shaggy cried desperately in unison as they rode in the pouch.
Courage watch helplessly as two terrified humans were screaming for their lives, he panicked, his eyes widening in alarm. And what about Scooby? He hit his head pretty hard after trying and failed to save Shaggy. My family needs me!
How much time has passed, Scooby didn't know, but it seemed like forever. Though his head hurt immensely, he slowly opened his eyes. A bit of light showing on the TV. He felt his head and found a large bump where he hit the wall. He slowly rose up. "Rhat happened?" he asked.
"Scooby!" Courage spoke, as he ran up to his friend, "How many fingers do you see?" he asked, as he held up three fingers.
Scooby furrowed his brow and moaned as Courage nudged him, he fluttered his eyes and saw Courage's paw, "Ruhh…six?"
"Eh, close enough," Courage said, he can deal with Scooby's concussion later.
"Rait…where's Raggy and Ruriel?" Scooby asked, horror overtook him, as memories came flooding in his mind.
Courage felt as if a bone were lodge in his throat, he swallowed uncomfortably, "I'm sorry Scooby..." he barked, "The farmer...took them."
Panic flooded into Scooby's eyes as he explained, his stomach was squeezing itself into a hard knot of fear. "Ro, no!" he cried.
"And if you want help...try new dilly drops," the commercial began but Courage stopped it when he turned off the television.
"What do we do?! What do we do?!" Courage cried out.
"Ret's ask the computer, it'll know what to do!" Scooby gasped.
Scooby and Courage raced up to the attic where thankfully the computer was still working and had power, flipping it on, Courage began to type in his question.
"The kangaroo monster is nearly impossible to defeat," it told.
Panicking, Courage began to type again in a frenzy, he was sure he had missed a couple of keys, but it didn't matter either away.
"Hey, not so hard. I didn't dig up the bones," the computer snapped.
"Rell us to how to beat it!" Scooby snapped back at the computer.
"The only thing that can defeat a kangaroo monster... is another kangaroo monster," it answered.
Scooby and Courage shared a very fearful glance and give out gasps of terror, not liking what the computer told them.
"Rou mean there has to be another kangaroo monster to defeat the giant kangaroo Rustace?" Scooby asked fearfully, putting a paw into his mouth.
"Yep," Courage gulped nervously in a response.
"Please deposit twenty-five cents for the next five minutes, or your call will be interrupted," the computer mocked.
Fresh rage rose up in Courage who was not in a mood, grabbed the computer and tossed it out the window. What is wrong with that computer!? Hasn't it learned nothing from the Mega Muriel incident!?
"How can it joke, at a time like this?" Scooby asked, now getting angry.
"Meet my computer," Courage sighed dryly with a frown, before continuing, "Let's head over to Dr. Vindaloo. He might be able to help us."
"Well, two pieces of the bone did chip off during the very careful procedure on the farmer, I was using them as jewelry item," Dr. Vindaloo told us as he showed them the pieces of bones which he transformed two into earrings.
Scooby sucked in a nervous breath, but he knew this was the only way to save their owners, "Ran you, do it?"
"I could insert it into your backs, I have never done a procedure on two dogs before, there is not telling what could happen, no telling at all," Dr Vindaloo answered.
Scooby and Courage looked at one another in alarm, if they go through with this, there was a chance they could both die. But they knew if they don't do this, Shaggy and Muriel are both goners. They both shared a nod of understanding before turning to Dr. Vindaloo.
"Rokay, let's get this over with,"Scooby whined.
"I know I'm not gonna like this," Courage said with a gulp.
In the operating room, Dr. Vindaloo told the two dogs to lay down while he got ready.
Courage was trembling very violently and his teeth were chattering, "S-Scooby, I'm scared. Can I hold your paw?" he pleadingly asked the Great Dane.
"R-Rof course," Scooby replied, he was also getting scared but trying to be brave for the small pink beagle. He held out his paw and Courage clutched it tightly. Scooby clutched his paw back, he realized that there could be only one thing worse than being in a risky operation. Being alone without Courage, he knew it was a selfish feeling, about he couldn't help it.
Dr. Vindaloo soon came back with the bones and mallet along with some duct tape.
Rhis is gonna hurt. Scooby cringed, he shut his eyes, clutching Courage's paw and braced for impact.
"Tell me when it's over!" Courage wailed, he squeezed his eyes shut and waited.
The two dogs whimpered and braced themselves for the pain they knew it was coming...
With Muriel and Shaggy, Eustace had manage to traveled all over the world, to Egypt and to China, stomping on the pyramids and the Great Wall of China. Shaggy gaze out at the scenes below, it was terrifying to watch all of the destruction his uncle is causing.
Like, how long it would be before he destroys the entire world? Shaggy thought as despair filled him.
"Eustace, you shouldn't be doing this, it's just not neighborly," Muriel said to her husband, but was on deaf ears.
"Good, good recoveries," Dr. Vindaloo said as he wrote down his clipboard.
Scooby and Courage groaned in pain from the surgery that was performed on them. They felt as if they been lying on the metal table for days, everything hurt their whole bodies down to the tips of their fur and the ends of their claws.
"RI really...hate going...to the...doctors'" Scooby stammered, the pain was nagging in his back.
"I can see why," Courage gasped, his back felt as he had been stabbed by tiny little red hot knifes.
Back in the pouch, Muriel and Shaggy were now traveling through in Taj Mahal.
"Say, is that the Taj Mahal? I've always wanted ta see the Taj Mahal, traveling is so much fun," Muriel said, as she saw the view from the pouch.
"Like, me too, but now like this!" Shaggy whimpered a little.
Suddenly, he and Muriel heard crashing, following by Eustace's stomping.
"Oh, my, I should have taken a picture," Muriel said.
Shaggy rolled his eyes, "I think like, get got bigger problems Aunt Muriel."
Back at the doctor's office, Scooby and Courage were both still in pain and discomfort from the surgery, while Dr Vindaloo was still writing his clipboard down.
"Still breathing, good sign," Dr. Vindaloo said, as he wrote it down on the clipboard.
Before Courage could open his mouth to reply he felt a strong pain and he gasped with panic as he saw that his feet grew to an extremely large size with nails nearly as long as his arms currently are.
"Roh-no," Scooby gasped as he realize it was not only fear he was feeling in his body anymore, his fur burned as his arms started to grow to a large size.
Needless to say, the rest of the transformation was incredibly weird and painful, thankfully, it lasted only a few moments.
Back, with Muriel and Shaggy, they're both still in the pouch and both now were screaming from the Eustace's constant bouncing.
"Paris is such a beautiful city," Muriel said, before continuing screaming some more.
"LIKE, CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE GET US DOWN! SCOOBY-DOO! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Shaggy let out a scream of terror and despair.
"PUT THEM MURIEL AND SHAGGY DOWN!" a familiar voice shouted.
Shaggy looked up and to his astonishment he saw that Scooby and Courage were both now KANGAROO MONSTERS.
"MAKE ME!" Eustace challenged turning to the two kangaroo monsters.
"Oh my," Muriel said with surprise, as she ducked
"Scooby? Courage?" Shaggy questioned, he wore a look of sheer amazement, shock and awe, he also ducked. Like, how did you two became kangaroo monsters?
Eustace then turned and ripped from the ground the Arc de Triomphe and threw it at the two kangaroo monsters.
"DUDES! LOOK OUT!" Shaggy shrieked.
Scooby and Courage managed to duck just in time as the arch came and missed them, Going over their heads and then acting like a boomerang and went straight back at Eustace, hitting him on the head and shattering completely. Eustace shouted while holding his head in pain.
"Rake this!" Scooby shouted, as he quickly grabbed a small glass building and tore it form the ground and threw it at Eustace.
It somehow landing in his mouth and crumbling when he closed his mouth after a moment of struggle, he then retaliated by throwing a few gargoyle statues at the two kangaroo monsters, All of which missed. They then retaliated with their own barrage at him, but with Scooby and Courage hitting him. This continued back and forth for a few minutes till the three ran out of things to throw.
The three then started to paint their portraits.
Eustace laughed as he painted. After a moment, he showed Scooby and Courage what he painted which was a red stick figure drawing of a person.
"Rot bad, check ours though," Scooby barked as he and Scooby reveled their paintings.
Scooby's was that of him and Shaggy eating together.
"Mm-hmm," Courage hummed as he showed Eustace a picture of the Mona Lisa.
"OH! Stupid dogs!" Eustace growled out before hopping away, towards the Eiffel Tower.
"Hang on, we're coming for you!" Courage called as he and Scooby gave chase after Eustace who started to climb up the tower.
Eustace growled when he realized the two kangaroo monsters cornered him, but as Scooby and Courage began to reach and try and grab Muriel and Shaggy back, the sound of a siren caught their attention.
"Huh?" Courage asked with confusion.
Looking back down, the family saw what looked like a policeman trying to get their attention.
"This landmark is not zoned for the occupancy of three Kangaroo monsters, only one allowed," he warned them.
"Roh, come on!" Scooby shouted out while Courage whined as he and Scooby slowly climbed down the tower.
Eustace mock with laughter as he got into a more comfortable sitting position on the tower.
"Like, since when is that against the law?! Shaggy shouted with anger and fear. Knowing that he and his aunt were in peril, but that policeman didn't seemed to be concerned about that at all.
"Row what?" Scooby asked as he and Courage moved a few hops away from the tower. He felt helpless now that Eustace was on the tower and there was nothing they could do about it.
An idea struck Courage, "I have an idea," he then took out a sling shot from his pouch along with a croissant.
"Rey it's that a croissant?" Scooby asked, his mouth watering at the delicious looking bread.
Courage frowned, "Scooby focus!"
Scooby's smiled faded, as he backed away, "Rorry, now's not the time."
Courage loaded the croissant and firing it at Eustace, only for it to land in his mouth with him eating it a second later.
"Yummy," he said smugly.
"Oh-no," Courage lamented, he then reached in his pouch and gave Scooby a slingshot and croissants.
The both started firing at Eustace as fast as they could, yet he managed to eat each and every single croissant they both fired at him. But at the same time, Scooby and Courage noticed that he was getting substantially bigger and heavier with each one he ate. And it was started to get tight in the pouch for Muriel and Shaggy.
Shaggy was crushed by Eustace's chubby stomach making him feel trapped. struggled to breathe, "Like, this is getting crowded," he panicked. He had to save space, he needed air.
"Keep feeding him! We almost got him!" Courage instructed noticing that the tower was slowly bending over and getting closer to the river next to it due to Eustace's increasing weight.
Eustace screamed when the tower finally gave way and he fell into the river, Shaggy and Muriel screamed as they were released from Eustace pouch but now were riding a giant wave down the river.
"We got you!" Courage said as he caught Muriel while Scooby got Shaggy.
"Oh, boys, good to see you," Muriel said happily as Courage put her in his pouch.
"Rare you okay Raggy?" Scooby asked, concerned.
"Like I'm fine, but how did you guys got turned into kangaroo monsters," Shaggy inquired.
"Well tell you on the way home," Courage explained, as Scooby put Shaggy in his pouch.
Shaggy and Scooby then started to make their way back home. But first, a slight detour to the doctor.
"The removal of the kangaroo monster bones was a success," Dr. Vindaloo stated as he held the bones that he put in the dogs' backs. "You might feel a little sore, but there should be no side effects, no side effects at all."
"Roh, good," Scooby sighed in relief, putting his paw to his head
"Yay!" Courage cheered excitedly as well.
"A-OOGA!" Dr. Vindaloo said as he put the bones back on as jewelry.
The dogs got off the table and started to head to the door, ll the while Scooby and Courage both started to hop up and down with incredible height.
Shaggy saw this and turned to the readers and shrugged, "Eh, close enough."
