It was a Late Night in Crystal Cove.
The Gang was solving another Mystery.
Fred was explaining the Trap to the Gang.
At least most of the Gang,Shaggy kept watch.
"Then,a System of Pulleys connected to a Counterweight looped through that Tree and this Flagpole will drag that Hot Dog Cart," Fred said.
"Hot Dogs?" Scooby repeated in excitement.
"Stay with me,Scoob," Fred requested.
"Nobody's with you,Fred," Velma added.
"Yeah, you lost Scooby when you said the Magic Word,Food, and you lost me the moment you started talking," Louis pointed out.
"It is a pretty complicated trap," Daphne warned.
"That's exactly why it will work,sometimes,it's like,I'm all alone out here," Fred responded as he sighed.
The Piranha Goat emerged from City Hall and bleated.
"Zoinks,ha,ha,it's the Piranha Goat," Shaggy shouted as he watched.
"And we've got him right where we want him," Fred stated.
"Worst Monster ever," Louis muttered.
The Gang all looked that way to see if it would work.
Fred pulled it and pulled it but it wouldn't work.
"Hey,What's wrong with this thing?" Fred wondered as he pulled it repeatedly.
"Uh,Fred,it's getting away," Louis informed.
It jumped off the Stair Case and began to run away.
"Fred,He's getting away," Velma warned as it ran.
It ran and passed a Fire Hydrant.
Suddenly,Headlights shined in the Piranha Goat's Face.
"Going somewhere? Piranha Goat," Sheriff Stone commented.
"Bu-uh-uh-sted," the Piranha Goat responded.
"Good thing,Sheriff Stone showed up," Velma added as she glared at Fred.
"Uh,that sounds so wrong," Louis murmured.
"Well,you're darn tootin,I've told you kids a thousand times you leave the Crime Busting to the Crime Busters,Piranha Goat,you're coming with me," Sheriff Stone responded as he took out the Hand Cuffs.
"He is obviously not a Professional," Louis added.
The Rope just then let go.
"Ooh,My Trap's working," Fred cheered.
"Uh oh," Daphne whispered.
The Hot Dog Cart moved past Shaggy and Scooby,they both grabbed some.
Louis glared at Scooby.
Scooby gave him a nervous smile and handed one to him.
Louis smiled at him.
He would let it happen,besides,that was Scooby's thing,eating,it would make him controlling if he did.
Daphne gasped as the Hot Dog Cart moved past Sheriff Stone that hit the wall,that made an Umbrella move.
Letting the Net go,getting Sheriff Stone.
He screamed as it moved.
It moved towards Mystery Incorporated and caught them before swinging back and forth.
"Told ya it would work," Fred commented.
"At the Wrong Time,well,done,Fred," Louis notified
"La-ay-ay-ter," The Piranha Goat added as it began to run off with the stuff.
It stopped when it heard Electricity crackling.
They heard an Evil Chuckle and a Shadow of a Horse and a Man pop up.
He had his Horse go up as it neighed.
He has it walk into the Light,revealing a Half Man Half Skeleton being.
The Gang gasped as they saw it.
It tried to run but the Skeleton took out a Electric Lasso and spinned it around in a Circle.
He shot it at the Piranha Goat and bound it's Feet making it trip.
He chuckled as he dragged it off with the Lasso.
"See ya around,Sheriff," It said as it walked into the Thunder Fog and disappeared.
"It can't be,Dead Justice,He's returned," Sheriff Stone responded in fear.
After they got out of the Net.
Sheriff Stone put his Foot on the Car.
"Sheriff, Who is this Dead Justice Guy?" Velma asked.
"Only the Greatest Lawman ever to clean up the Streets of Crystal Cove,and,my number Three,Personal Hero,right behind myself and the Mayor," Sheriff Stone replied.
"Hmm,Never heard of him," Fred warned.
"Cause we just now saw him," Louis stated.
"He's been dead for over a 100 years," Sheriff Stone notified.
"Well,that's probably why," Fred mumbled.
Daphne looked down on the ground.
"Ick,Oystery Shells,the Seafood Littering in this town is out of control,uh,Am I'm swelling from my Allergies? Fred," Daphne complained.
"Daphne,to me you can never look too swollen," Fred more insulted than complemented.
Daphne smiled taking it as a Complement.
"Uh,that's an insult,Why is she smiling?" Louis whispered to Scooby.
Scooby shrugged his Shoulders.
"It's a good thing he showed up when he did,Piranha Goat almost got away with the Plans for Crystal Cove's Water Supply," Velma mentioned.
"Yeah,ho,ho,if he had succeeded in destroying the Town's Water,like,we may never bathe again," Shaggy agreed.
"We don't bathe now," Scooby added.
"Like,Quiet,Scoob," Shaggy ordered.
"Oh," Scooby responded as he chuckled.
"Ew,you guys are proud of that,I bathe,I naturally assumed you guys did,you guys are disgusting," Louis commented as he moved away from Scooby and Shaggy.
"What could be so important as to lure Crystal Cove's most famous Lawman back from the Great Beyond?" Sheriff Stone wondered.
"Oh,I don't know,Maybe,he's here to actually try and solve some Crimes," Velma guessed.
"No,that can't be it,heck,I've won the Crimey,Crystal Cove's Crimestopper of the Year award,27 times,there's only one Lawman here and his name is Sheriff Bronson Stone," Sheriff Stone bragged.
"How you've won that many is beyond me," Louis mumbled.
Crimes started coming to Crystal Cover after that.
A Burglar used a Crowbar to pry open the Window.
When he got in,he moved past the Sleeping Woman and grabbed a Pearl Necklace.
He smiled at it when the Woman woke up.
It took off the Mask,revealing it to be Sheriff Stone,he had a Pair of Cuffs in his hand.
The Man dropped the Necklace.
All of a sudden,a Lasso came and took the Burglarer.
"Hey,What the?" Sheriff Stone shouted as he saw it was Dead Justice that took him.
A Bank was being robbed.
Sheriff Stone ran after them and jumped missing them.
That was when Dead Justice appeared and shot Ghost Bullets at the Car shutting it down.
He laughed as he dragged the Burglars off with the Lasso.
The Next Night came and it was the Crimey Awards.
"And I'll say it again,If I haven't already befriended you,it's not going to happen,so please stop with the poking," Mayor Jones demanded.
Sheriff Stone's Car arrived and he stepped out.
His Deputy greeted him.
"Hey,Sheriff,now,don't be nervous,this is going to be your Year,I can feel it," Bucky cheered.
"Bucky,I'm not nervous,every Year is my Year,I just want to get this over with so I can catch a Movie," Sheriff Stone replied as he sat in a Chair on Stage.
"You wanna see a Movie? Check this out,I made you a little Flipbook to commemorate today,Spoiler Alert,You win the Award again," Bucky said as he ran to him and showed it to him.
"Bucky,go get me some Cotton Candy," Sheriff Stone commanded.
"Oh,yes sir,Sheriff,I'll make sure it's extra fluffy," Bucky agreed as he ran to get it.
Mystery Incorporated attended to watch it.
"Think maybe we'll be up there someday,Winning a Crimey?" Fred wondered.
"Not a Doubt,Freddy,I believe in you,always have," Daphne responded as she had her hand on his Chest.
"My Fellow Crystal Covians,Thank you for coming out for the 215th Crimestopper Of the Year Awards,May I have the Envelope,Please," Mayor Jones requested.
"Watch it be Sheriff Stone," Louis whispered.
"Probably," Scooby agreed as he leaned his side on Louis's Arm.
Mayor Jones opened the Envelope.
"And this Year's Crimestopper of the Year is,Dead Justice," Mayor Jones announced.
The Audience gasped.
"I admit I did not see that coming," Louis admitted.
"I'm Speechless," Scooby added.
"Like, I didn't even know he was eligible,you know? Being Dead and all," Shaggy commented.
Dead Justice laughed as the Thundering Fog appeared.
He emerged from the Fog on his Horse.
It stopped at the Middle.
Everyone screamed as they saw him.
"Trophies are for Sissy Folk,I'm just doing my Job,which is more than I can say for useless Sheriff Stone," He said as he shot a Ghost Bullet at the Trophy.
It screamed as it came out and shot the Trophy in half.
One Half landed in Sheriff Stone's Hand while the other Half landed in Fred's Hand.
"I ain't in this Game for a pat on the Back," Dead Justice warned.
"Whoa,You're so cool,you have taken down so many Criminals,Good Job,and Ride on," Louis cheered.
"Thanks,Kid," He thanked as he winked at him and gave him a small Ghost Bullet.
Louis smiled as he took it.
"Hey,What about me?" Scooby wondered.
"You're cool," Louis answered nonchalantly.
Scooby frowned.
"Go Dead Justice," Louis announced.
"Hey-ho,Greg," Dead Justice ordered.
It stood on it's back Hooves and Breathed Fire.
"Whoa," Louis responded as he watched it in awe.
"His Horse's name is Greg," Velma muttered.
"Go Greg and Dead Justice," Louis cheered.
Even the Horse winked at him as it galloped towards the Fog.
"It winked at me," Louis mentioned.
"I can wink too," Scooby mentioned.
They went back into the Fog and disappeared.
Everyone stood Speechless except Louis who was still cheering.
Scooby put his Paw to Louis's Mouth to get him to be quiet.
Mayor Jones broke the Silence.
"Forget Crime-Stopping,Frolicking Milk Made Peanuts,that is Show Stopping," Mayor Jones announced.
Everyone began to cheer.
Louis licked Scooby's Paw to get him to let go.
Scooby got disgusted and let go.
"Two can play at that game," Scooby retorted.
He a long breath in and spit out a big thing saliva onto Louis himself.
"Ew,that's disgusting," Louis complained.
He joined the Crowd in the cheering.
Scooby growled in anger.
He hated this Dead Justice guy,he was not only creepy but taking away his best friend.
"Mayor,You can't give the Award to him,He ain't even alive," Sheriff Stone pointed out on Stage not liking all the Cheering.
"Never stopped me from giving it to you before,that was a Joke in your expense," Mayor Jones commented as he chuckled and left.
The Rest of the Crowd left.
Bucky came back.
"Sheriff,I got you Cotton Candy,Did you win?" Bucky wondered.
Sheriff Stone didn't give him an answer,he just walked off stage and to his car.
He stopped on the Street.
"What is going on with these Oyster Shells,this is a Parking Lot not a Raw Bar," Sheriff Stone complained.
Velma walked up to them and picked one up.
"Hmm,these are just like the ones we found in front of City Hall,Something smells fishy," Velma stated.
Daphne turned to see Shaggy and Scooby having their Hands full of Oysters.
"Uh,Guys, Where'd you get those?" Daphne asked.
"Like,from that Dude in the White Jean Jacket," Shaggy pointed out as he pointed to the direction.
A Man stood there leaning against his Car with his Music blasting as he forced the Oysters open with a Knife and ate the insides.
"Who is that?" Daphne asked disgusted by his Hobo-ish acts.
"Oh,He's a Local Crime Nut,who calls himself the Night Ranger,He writes a Blog about how much he doesn't like me,the Feeling is Mutual,but I,unlike that Weirdo I keep my Blogs to myself," Sheriff Stone informed.
"Yeah,and your Blog is probably like you," Louis added.
"You are right about that," Sheriff Stone warned.
"Told you," Louis mentioned.
He jumped back into his Car and took off.
"Does anything about that guy strike you as odd?" Fred asked.
"So Many things," Velma commented.
"The Moment I saw him," Louis said.
The Gang headed in the Mystery Machine and tailed him.
He took a Curve and about a Couple of minutes afterwards they took it.
He drove ahead not even noticing them.
"So,Like,if this Night Ranger turns out to have something to do with Dead Justice, Does that mean we have to give back our Oysters?" Shaggy wondered.
"No way,Finders Keepers," Scooby replied.
"Guys,He gave them to you,He can't just take them back,unless they are poisoned,then he can have him," Louis warned.
"No way,there is now way,I am never giving them back," Scooby said.
"Me too," Shaggy agreed
"Are you kidding me? So,You would die for those? You know what I am not even going to ask," Louis responded.
"What happened to me being? Meh," Scooby commented.
Louis rolled his eyes.
"Maybe you can ask him yourself,Look," Velma notified as she looked at the Front of the Road.
Fred hit his Foot hard on the brake.
The Mystery Machine stopped before they got too close.
It was Dead Justice,he was on his Horse in the Middle of the Road.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that Curiosity can get you dead?" Dead Justice asked as he aimed his Gun at the Gang.
Louis stuck his head out of the Mystery Machine.
"No,not until now,Go Dead Justice," Louis informed as he cheered.
Most Of the Gang frowned at his Cheering
"Would you stop cheering? He's trying to kill us,No more Cheering," Scooby commanded
He shot the Ghost Bullets at them as the Bullets squealed.
They went towards the Middle Window.
Everyone ducked but Louis.
"Cool," Louis announced.
Scooby saw him staring.
He groaned as he made his head duck.
It hit the Window and it disappeared.
"I'm the only Lawman in Crystal Cove,Stop your snooping," Dead Justice ordered.
"And,What if we don't?" Fred questioned.
"Then,the next time I see you,I shoot to kill," Dead Justice threatened as he chuckled.
He laughed as his Horse went on it's two Bottom Hooves and galloped back into the Fog and disappeared.
"Whoo,hoo,Go Greg and Dead Justice," Louis cheered.
"You're ridiculous,You know that?" Scooby responded.
"Come on,Gang,I think it's time we had a little chat with Sheriff Stone," Fred suggested.
"Aw,Do we have to?" Louis complained.
They arrived at Sheriff Stone's Place.
"Are you sure about this? Sheriff Stone doesn't exactly like us," Daphne questioned.
"Nor,Do I like him," Louis added.
Someone watched from inside as they had a Shotgun in their hands as prepared to fire.
"We don't have a Choice,He's the Biggest Dead Justice Fan in Town," Fred informed.
"Hold it right there,What do you Trespassers want?" A Woman asked as she pointed a Gun at them.
The Gang backed up.
"Yikes,She is fierce," Louis commented.
"We're here to see the Sheriff," Fred warned.
"Sheriff's in bed," She notified.
"What does he still get tucked in," Louis stated.
She turned the Gun just to him.
Louis gulped as he hid underneath Scooby.
He hadn't had a Gun pointed at him since the Bounty Hunters,but it didn't exactly bring back warm memories.
"I'll shut up now," Louis responded as he stayed under him.
"Now he notices me and be's near me," Scooby complained.
"It's about Dead Justice," Fred mentioned.
"We think somebody is trying to make the Sheriff look bad," Daphne finished.
The Woman lowered her Gun.
"Am I not in trouble anymore?" Louis wondered.
"No,I have been telling him the same thing," She replied.
Louis let out a sigh of relief.
Scooby looked under himself and glared at Louis.
"So,now,You be with me," Scooby added.
"Hey,it's a Force of Habit,I could hide behind someone else," Louis retorted.
"No,Stay put," Scooby commanded.
This was the only time at the moment where he was this close to him,he was going to take what he had.
"Okay," Louis answered weirded out.
It kind of confused him that he wanted him underneath him for so long.
"Sheriff,You've got Visitors," She shouted.
"Who is it?" Sheriff Stone asked.
" A Bunch of Teenagers,A Kid,and a Dog," She replied.
"Tell them to go away," Sheriff Stone ordered.
"Sheriff Bronson Stone,Mind your Manners," She demanded.
He groaned inside.
"So sorry about this,He's been a Cranky Pants ever since he didn't win this Year's Crimey," She pointed out.
She led them to his Room.
"Mom," He complained as he hid in his Blankets.
"Play Nice," She demanded as she stripped him of the Blanket.
"Is he in Sheriff Pajamas?" Scooby asked Louis as he looked underneath him.
"Yeah,and I think it's hilarious," Louis whispered.
He sat up and groaned.
"What do you want?" Sheriff Stone wondered.
"We need you to tell us everything you know about Dead Justice," Velma informed.
"What's the point? I mean, When your Hero thinks you're the worst Lawman in the History of Crystal Cove,there's not much more to say," Sheriff Stone said.
"Not the only one who thinks that, but,What if he wasn't your hero?" Louis commented.
He sighed.
"I guess I should start at the beginning," He warned.
"Uh oh,I sense a Story coming," Louis whispered.
Scooby pretended to laughed at it.
Louis looked at him with a confused look.
"I thought it was funny," Scooby replied.
Louis rolled his eyes.
"Start away," Louis requested.
He groaned as he began to explain.
"Before Dead Justice came to town,Crystal Cove was a Den of Iniquity and Lawlessness,Injustice reigned,well,then,One Day a Left Handed Gunslinger named Iron Will Williamson rode into Crystal Cove,Iron Will decided right then and there that he was going to clean up this town,no matter what,Townsfolk made him Sheriff and gave him the nickname,Dead Justice,but there was one thorn,Dead Justice just couldn't get out of his side,his name was Nitro Wizinski,Dead Justice vowed he would go to the ends of the earth to bring Nitro down,and,that's exactly what he did,Dead Justice slapped the Cuffs on Nitro as they both sank into a Lake of Molten Lava,and that was the last anyone ever saw Dead Justice," Sheriff Stone explained as it showed a Flashback from the Beginning to end as he finished played the Piano.
"Until now," Shaggy finished.
"Just had to bring that up again,Didn't ya?" Sheriff Stone lashed out angrily.
"Something didn't sound right about all that,the Cuffs when they sank into lava,they would already be dead before he could,and something else is wrong,"
"Wait,Dead Justice is a lefty," Velma mentioned.
"Uh,duh,everyone knows that,it's Dead Justice 101," Sheriff Stone commented.
"Uh,hate to interrupt but that Ghost that attacked us was right handed," Louis stated.
"He should know," Scooby added.
"What are you implying?" Louis wondered.
"What are you inferring," Scooby retorted.
"I am only inferring what you are implying," Louis responded as the two got in each other's faces.
Scooby and Louis growled at each other in anger.
"You two,Quit it," Velma commanded.
"He started it," Louis pointed out.
"He started it," Scooby retorted.
"What are there Eggs in your brain? You added the Comment," Louis informed.
"Mm,Eggs,but,You added it first," Scooby responded.
"Guys,not now,honestly,you two have been arguing a lot as of late,I don't know what has gotten into you two," Daphne stated.
"If he is right handed,then that ain't no real Dead Justice,or my name isn't,Sheriff Bronson Stone," Sheriff Stone shouted as he threw his hat to the ground and shouted real loud.
"Doesn't the Night Ranger shuck with his Right Hand?" Scooby mentioned.
Shaggy thought back to when they saw him.
Scooby had remembered correctly,he did.
"Scooby's right," Shaggy agreed.
"Then let's go check him out," Fred ordered.
"Go,Scooby-Doo," Louis cheered as he hugged Scooby's Face.
Scooby smiled at him.
"I thought you were mad at me," Scooby commented.
Louis stopped realizing it and let go.
He looked around the Room whistling.
"I call Shotgun," Sheriff Stone announced.
"What? But the Front Seat is my Special Place,beside,Fred?" Daphne warned.
Everyone got in the Van.
Daphne ended up in the Back with the others to her chagrin.
At the Night Ranger's House.
The Gang had broken in.
Everyone began to walk up the Stairs.
"Hey,What about me? I can't fly up the Stairs," Louis wondered.
"I'll get him," Scooby stated.
"No way,Velma,Would you mind?" Louis requested.
"You've got to be kidding me," Velma responded.
"Nope," Louis replied.
He put his arms around her neck and she held his legs up so he wouldn't weigh her down.
"You can at least hold my Flashlight for now," Velma suggested.
"Okie Dokie," Louis agreed as she gave it to him and he used it to look around
The Gang went up the Stairs and so did Louis.
Scooby rolled Louis's Wheelchair up the Stairs.
Velma put him down in his Wheelchair and took her Flashlight back.
"Uh,Do I get a Flashlight?" Louis asked.
"Oops," The Gang responded.
"Seriously,I have been with you guys for Months and you guys still forget me," Louis complained.
"Here take mine," Scooby offered.
Louis sighed.
Scooby was being nice so he took it,Scooby didn't have to give him one.
"Alright,let's split up and look for clues," Fred ordered.
Everyone went their own way leaving Louis.
"I should have gone with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys," Louis whispered.
Louis looked for where to go.
He just chose a way.
He ended up with Shaggy and Scooby.
Velma,Fred, and Daphne looked in the Living Room.
Shaggy and Scooby were heading through a Door Frame.
Shaggy hit his Head on a Bar on the Frame.
"Ouch," Shaggy shouted.
Once Shaggy hit it,it fell and hit Scooby's Head.
"Ouch,Stupid Chin Up Bars," Scooby complained.
Louis giggled.
Scooby grabbed the Bar and hit it on Scooby's Head.
"Ow," Louis yelled.
Scooby giggled.
Louis frowned.
"Now keep it down,you're being loud," Scooby ordered.
"Hey,You are a Grown Dog,hitting a Child's Head,it's gonna hurt," Louis pointed out.
The other three continued their search.
"Jeepers,this Guy is really into Mankinis," Daphne mentioned getting Velma's attention.
"Like,dudes,What's with all this Hay? Shaggy asked as he shined his Flashlight on it.
"Horses eat Hay," Velma added.
"Dead Justice has a Horse," Sheriff Stone stated.
Scooby smiled as he pushed Louis into the Hay.
"Hey," Louis said.
Scooby giggled.
Louis grabbed Scooby by the Collar and pulled him into the Hay and onto him,making them face to face/Nose to Nose.
"Oops," Louis muttered.
"Not what you expected,Was it?" Scooby stated.
"No,but it serves you right," Louis responded.
Scooby stuck his Tongue out at him.
His Tongue touched Louis's lip.
Scooby stuck his Tongue back in feeling it.
"Well done,Genius,now you did it" Louis complained.
"It was an accident,now shut your Piehole," Scooby commanded.
Suddenly,they heard a Vehicle approaching.
Scooby got off and put Louis back in his Wheelchair.
Scooby walked to the Window.
"Night Ranger," Scooby warned.
"Quick,Everybody,Hide," Fred ordered.
Everyone ran to a Hiding Place.
Night Ranger walked up the Stairs with a Magazine in his face.
Louis hid behind the Couch in his Wheelchair.
Scooby knew he would get caught.
He grabbed Louis out of his Wheelchair and put his arms around him,as Louis had his back laying on Scooby's Chest.
Scooby kicked Louis's Wheelchair behind a thing of Hay.
"Thanks," Louis thanked.
"You're Welcome," Scooby answered.
Louis let go of the fight earlier,he realized it wasn't worth fighting with his Friend,he had no idea how long he had left that he would have him.
He turned on the Light and lowered the Magazine.
He turned on his Boombox and walked to the Middle of the Living Room as he took off his shirt.
The Gang ducked.
He punched and kicked the Hay to the ground.
He put his Finger up to it and put a Towel around his Neck.
He walked towards another room.
The Gang watched as he did.
"Uh,Why did he have to take his shirt off?" Daphne questioned.
"I want to unsee that so bad," Louis whispered.
Scooby used his Paws to cover his eyes.
"Thank you," Louis thanked.
"No problem,so,Why is it so gross? You see mine all the time,you don't say,ew to mine," Scooby commented as he was leaned over Louis.
"Cause yours is fine,it's furry,and well,soft,I like yours,but, his,is traumatizing," Louis explained under Scooby.
"Yeah,it is," Scooby agreed.
Louis put his hands on Scooby's Eyes.
Scooby let out a sigh of relief.
"Says the Guy,who just said, he liked his Best Friend's Chest," Velma added.
"Hey,At least we know what the Hay was for," Fred stated.
"Doesn't matter,The Night Ranger's Dead Justice,I'm sure of it," Sheriff Stone warned.
"No,He ain't," A Voice said.
"Yes,he is," Sheriff Stone retorted.
"No,he ain't," Dead Justice argued as the lights went off.
"Yes,he is," Sheriff Stone shouted.
"Uh,I don't think he is," Louis informed.
Both removed their hands from one another's eyes.
Scooby shuddered in fear.
The Gang looked over the Couch
Scooby put Louis on his head so Louis could see over the Couch too and cause he was kind of too scared to look.
Dead Justice laughed as he put his hands near the Guns.
"Zoinks,ha,ha,Like,no,he ain't," Shaggy commented.
"I warned ya,now,I'm gonna kill you," Dead Justice threatened as he pointed his Gun at them.
"Ooh,cool,I am going to die by my Hero," Louis cheered.
"Not now," Scooby ordered.
"Sorry," Louis apologized.
"Sheriff Stone,you're the worst Lawman, this side of Heaven and Hades,and," Dead Justice continued.
"That's a saying now," Louis wondered.
"Trust me,I've been to both," He replied.
"Now,that's just mean," Scooby added.
"Time to hand over your Badge," Dead Justice ordered as he approached them.
That was when they heard Loud Music.
Part of the House began to crack.
Night Ranger had used his Car to pull the side of the House off.
Dead Justice shot at the Gang.
The Gang began to run.
Louis slid off Scooby's Head and onto his back.
The Gang managed to all get out of the way before any could get them.
"Stay down," Scooby ordered.
"Okay," Louis agreed as he buried his face in Scooby's neck.
He shot at them as they ran and slid out of the House,missing every time.
They screamed as they went to the Side of Night Ranger's Car.
Dead Justice disappeared.
"You're safe now," Scooby notified.
Louis saw him gone.
"Night Ranger,You saved us," Fred mentioned.
Night Ranger gave them a Thumbs up.
Fred gave him one back as he drove off.
"Doesn't say much, Does he?" Fred asked.
"He must save it all for his Blog,Stupid Blog," Sheriff Stone warned.
"Where did Dead Justice go?" Velma wondered.
"Beats me," Louis replied.
"Dimpled Panamanian Gargoyles,Fred,What's going on?" Mayor Jones announced.
"He always manages to say the strangest things,I can't wait to see what Dead Justice does next," Louis whispered to Scooby announcing the last bit.
Scooby lowered his head,he had just save his life and he still fancied Dead Justice more.
What was it going to take to get his Friend back?
"Dad,What are you doing here?" Fred questioned.
"Well,I was looking for the Sheriff,actually," Mayor Jones informed.
"Have you changed your mind about the Crimey?" Sheriff Stone asked.
"Better,You're Fired," Mayor Jones notified.
"What?" The Gang said in unison.
"How is that better?" Louis wondered.
"No,no,no,I'm not finished,Effective immediately,Dead Justice will be heading up the Crystal Cove P.D.,now I am finished," Mayor Jones finished.
"But it isn't Sheriff Stones's fault, Dead Justice is the Bad Guy here," Daphne warned.
"I'll be taking that Badge," Mayor Jones insisted.
"You can take my badge but I'll always be Sheriff Bronson Stone,as it's my name,that my Ma gave me when I was born," Sheriff Stone responded.
"Wait,like,your first name is Sheriff," Shaggy asked.
"Mama,She planned ahead,and this is gonna break her-her teeny tiny heart," He whispered as he ran away sobbing.
"Sheriff Stone,Wait," Fred shouted.
"No,Don't leave," Louis yelled.
Louis didn't like him,but now he felt bad for him.
He had really messed up.
Dead Justice laughed as he stood on the Cliff with his Horse.
"Hi-ho,Greg," Dead Justice announced.
"Bye Greg," Louis replied.
It neighed at him,saying thanks,as he left.
"Mayor Jones,you're making a mistake," Velma informed.
"I don't think so,Do you know how much I have to pay our new Dead Sheriff? Nothing,Ghosts don't need money,it's Politics 101,I'm gonna save a Fortune on Healthcare,Bullets,Bloodstain Removals," Mayor Jones explained as he walked away.
"This is unfair,We owe it to the Sheriff to solve this Mystery," Fred said.
"For once,Fred,I agree with you,Sheriff Stone doesn't deserve this," Louis agreed.
"I agree with you,Partner," Scooby commented as he had a Cowboy Hat,and Lasso on speaking in a Cowboy Voice.
"What are you doing?" Louis asked.
"Nothing,Partner,I've been like this all me life," Scooby replied in the Cowboy Voice.
"I literally haven't seen you have that on till now," Louis pointed out.
"You must be mistaken," Scooby stated in the Voice.
At Sheriff Stone's Office.
Bucky was putting Sheriff Stone's Stuff into a Box as he sniffled and sobbed.
The Gang walked into his Office.
"Bucky, Do you know where we could find the Sheriff? His Mom said,He would be here," Velma wondered.
Louis had asked her,over a Cup of Tea.
"I wasn't supposed to tell anyone this,but,Sheriff Stone took a New Job at the Clam Cabin," Bucky informed.
"That's perfect,Like,I'm way starving,What would you say to a Banana and Clam Kebab? Scoob," Shaggy asked as he put his arm around Scooby.
"I'd say,Nice to eat you," Scooby replied as him and Shaggy laughed.
Scooby stopped realizing he forgot something.
"I mean,Sure Partner," Scooby rephrased as he looked at Louis.
Louis rolled his eyes.
And Scooby's Ears dropped down in disappointment as he lowered his head and whimpered.
Louis heard his Whimpering and turned around.
He was about to say something until Shaggy interrupted.
"Oh,Oh,boy,That's Funny," Shaggy announced.
"We'll take this stuff to Sheriff Stone," Daphne warned.
"Thanks, I have to get this Office ready for Dead Justice,uh,I mean,Sheriff Justice," Bucky thanked.
"Sorry,Bucky,We'll make things right," Louis reassured as he put his hand on Bucky's Shoulder.
He sniffled as he broke out sobbing.
"Oh Dear," Louis mumbled as he patted Bucky's Shoulder.
"Just back away slowly," Fred ordered quietly.
As the Gang backed away from him.
Louis stayed patting his Shoulder.
Velma grabbed him as they left.
While back in the Van,it was silent.
Scooby sat silently in the back seat with his Ears still drooping and his head hanging down.
Louis was about to say something when Daphne interrupted him.
"If Night Ranger isn't Dead Justice,then,Who is?" Daphne mentioned.
"Time to come up with a new list of Suspects," Fred said.
Louis thought they were done and tried to say something,then Velma interrupted.
"Guys,I think I found something," Velma announced.
"Does that mean we don't get to go to the Clam Cabin?" Shaggy questioned.
"No,it means we need to get there fast," Velma notified.
Fred put on a Confident Smile and made a Sharp Turn.
Louis fell onto Scooby's Chest as Fred began to make them go faster.
"Oops,Sorry," Louis apologized.
"It's fine," Scooby answered in a Sad Tone.
"Hey, Are you?" Louis was about to say.
"We're almost there," Fred interrupted as he made another sharp turn making them go back to their original spots.
At the Clam Cabin.
"Sheriff," Fred shouted.
"No one here by that name,I'm Baghead,the new Assistant Shucker,Something I can shuck for you kids?" Sheriff Stone lied as he held out his Badge.
"Dead Justice is a fraud and we can prove it,but we need Sheriff Stone's Help," Daphne mentioned.
"Nope,He's not here," Sheriff Stone lied.
"Baghead,You may be a Jerk but you don't deserve this,you need to fight for your job,If you really want to beat Dead Justice at his own game,you need to step up,if Sheriff Stone wants his Job back,then he needs to help us,Know where we can find him?" Louis eludicated.
Sheriff Stone took off his Bag and put on his Sheriff's Hat.
"It's me guys,Sheriff Bronson Stone," Sheriff Stone announced.
"Like,No Kidding," Shaggy added as him and Louis rolled their eyes.
"You really think we can prove who's behind this Dead Justice business?" Sheriff Stone asked.
"Yep and I know how," Velma agreed.
Sheriff Stone nodded.
At Crystal Coves's Savings and Loan.
It exploded from the inside and a Figure ran out.
Suddenly, Dead Justice appeared in front of the Figure.
"Nobody Robs a Bank in my Town and gets away with it," Dead Justice commented.
The Figure chuckled as he lifted his head revealing who it was.
He had a Match in his Hand.
"Nice to see you again,Dead Justice," The Figure said.
"It can't be, Nitro Wizinski? But You're dead," Dead Justice responded.
"Yeah,well,so are you," Nitro added.
Dead Justice shook as he dropped his Gun.
Him and the Horse backed up.
"What's the matter? Dead Justice,You look like you've seen a Ghost," Nitro stated.
"Get away from me," Dead Justice commanded as he had his Horse run away.
Greg took off and ran around the Corner.
All of a sudden,a Bomb hit in front of him,scaring Greg.
"Whoa," Dead Justice warned.
Nitro laughed.
Dead Justice gasped as he had his Horse run
"Ha,Not so tough now,Is ya?" He replied.
Nitro threw another Bomb at Dead Justice, as he galloped away.
Dead Justice came towards the next street.
Daphne,Velma,Louis,and Fred went in front of the Street in front of Dead Justice.
Greg freaked out noticing that Louis was there and came to a sudden stop making Dead Justice fall to the ground on his back.
"Good Greg," Louis whispered as he softed Greg.
Greg closed his eyes and began to calm down.
Nitro got off the Horse and took off his Mask revealing it to be Sheriff Stone.
Shaggy and Scooby took off their parts of the Horse Costume.
"You're busted,Dude," Shaggy stated.
"Not Yet," Dead Justice responded as he began to run.
"He's getting away," Daphne announced.
Fred walked to a Rope on the ground.
"Relax,I got this," Fred reassured as he pulled the Rope.
It did nothing.
"Seriously,Fred," Louis complained.
"Oh,You've got to be kidding me," Fred mumbled as he continued to pull.
"He's gonna be gone,by the time you get that thing working," Louis stated.
Daphne hit her hand on her face.
He let go and the Rope went moving against the Rods making a Cage fall on Dead Justice.
Dead Justice knew he was caught and stood still.
"Time to reveal who Dead Justice really is," Velma said as she took off the Mask.
"Deputy Bucky," The Gang shouted in unison.
"What? Bucky,You were like a Father to me," Sheriff Stone warned.
"You're 20 Years older than me," Bucky informed.
"There's no proof of that,Why'd you do it?" Sheriff Stone questioned.
"Sheriff,I think we can explain," Velma added.
"Bucky was tired of being just a Deputy,He craved the Power and Prestige of the Sheriff's Office," Daphne started.
"Bucky failed every one of his Promotion Exams,but,it wasn't just his Grades that got me thinking," Fred continued.
"Like,Bucky's a Doodler, and his drawings looked an awful lot like," Shaggy resumed.
"Like,Dead Justice's Famous Demon Bullets," Louis said.
"Bucky disguised himself as the Ghost of Dead Justice and chased down the Town's Most Wanted," Velma continued.
"He knew nothing would hurt Sheriff Stone more than losing his Job to his Hero," Louis finished.
"The only thing I don't understand," Fred was saying.
"We don't understand," Louis corrected.
"Right, Is how he created those Bullets," Fred rephrased.
"CGI,It's all CGI,These Days,I programmed a Laser Pointer to simulate the Animation," Bucky informed.
"How about when it hit us?" Louis mentioned.
"Well,then,I had used parts of an EMP Device from one of our Prisoners for it," Bucky answered.
"Much as I hate to admit it,I owe you kids one," Sheriff Stone admitted.
Fred touched Sheriff Stone's Shoulder, and Sheriff Stone made sure he let go.
The Next Day back at the Crimeys.
Mayor Jones gave him his Crimey.
"People of Crystal Cove,there's a New,Old,New Sheriff in Town," Mayor Jones announced.
"That is a lot of new," Louis commented.
The People cheered at the Announcement.
"Thanks,Mayor Jones,and,uh,thanks for giving me a Raise," Sheriff Stone thanked.
"Raise, What Raise? An Hour ago,Your Job was free,Don't think I won't find another Undead Lawman if I have to," Mayor Jones responded.
Sheriff Stone broke into Laughter.
"You're Joking,Right?" Sheriff Stone wondered.
"You know,Dad,Bucky would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for us Meddling Kids,maybe,a Little Thank You,might be,uh," Fred mentioned.
"That's great,Fred,listen,I'm late to a Work Meeting," Mayor Jones lied as he began to walk off.
"But,Work's that way," Fred notified.
Fred hanged his Head down as Daphne came up to him.
"Why do I even bother?" Fred questioned.
"He cares,Fred,in his Own Way," Daphne reassured.
Shaggy and Velma took a Night out,Louis and Scooby stayed at Home,leaving just Fred and Daphne.
"I don't know,Daph,Sometimes when I look around the only one I see at my side is you," Fred stated.
"And that's just where I belong Riding Shotgun with my guy," Daphne said.
"Yeah,You do,And I don't want anyone to ever take your place," Fred replied.
Fred grabbed an Onion Ring and put it on her Finger.
"Wha? What are you doing?" Daphne wondered.
"Daphne,Will you ride Shotgun with me Forever?" Fred asked.
"I,Are you? Oh,Wow,Am I having a Rush of Blood to my Head making me hear things? Or,Maybe this Onion Ring is actually covered in Calamari, and my Allergies are causing my brain to swell," Daphne responded.
"Your Brain looks fine from here,so,Is that a Yes?" Fred pointed out.
"If your asking me to marry you? Oh,Freddy,yes,you trapped me at Hello," Daphne agreed.
Daphne pulled Fred into a Kiss.
"You mean after we graduate? Right?" Daphne wondered.
"Uh,I don't know what that is,but,sure,Whatever you say," Fred agreed.
As they went into a Kiss.
The Night Ranger heard it all and started Dancing,his way of cheering.
Back at Scooby,Shaggy, and Louis's Place.
Scooby sat inside his and Louis's Room against the Door,Louis sat outside the Room against the Door in his Wheelchair.
Louis couldn't help but think that Scooby was real upset.
"Scooby,It's me," Louis announced from outside the Door.
"What do you want?" Scooby asked.
"I need to talk to you," Louis notified.
Scooby got up and unlocked the Door.
He,then sat on the edge of their Bed.
Louis opened the Door and rolled inside.
He saw him at the edge of the Bed,his Ears drooping and his head lower than he had ever seen it.
The Cowboy Hat was set down on the middle of the Bed.
Louis tried his best to get off the Wheelchair and onto the edge of their Bed beside him.
He couldn't do it,he grunted as he kept trying.
Scooby picked him up and put him on the bed next to him.
"Can you look at me?" Louis requested.
Scooby lifted his Face up and looked at him.
Scooby's Eyes were watery and Tears were coming down his cheeks like a large river.
"Why are you crying?" Louis asked.
"You don't like me anymore," Scooby stated.
"What? What makes you say that?" Louis wondered.
"You were a fan of Dead Justice and you completely ignored me,I felt left out and unwanted," Scooby explained as he started to sob.
"Scooby,I," Louis tried to say.
"Then,I tried to do it too,to impress you and make you like me again,and you still hated me,You told me,I was cool but like you didn't mean it," Scooby finished.
"Aw,Scooby,I was a fan of him,Yes,I didn't mean to make you feel that way," Louis warned.
"Do you feel that way?" Scooby questioned.
"No,I don't,look,I don't know what I was thinking before,but,no matter who I meet,You are irreplacable,You will always be my Number 1 friend," Louis explained as he cradled Scooby's Face.
Scooby wiped away his tears.
"Really?" Scooby asked.
Louis quickly pulled him into a Hug and hugged his Waist.
"Scooby,I don't care,how many people I meet,or,how mad I get at you,nothing,will change my mind about our friendship,me meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me,if there was anything I want to do over again,it is meeting you,I'm here for you," Louis eludicated.
Scooby hugged him back.
"I am here for you two,Louis," Scooby replied as he hugged him.
The two let go.
Louis couldn't help but hug him again.
He hugged his Face.
"Wow,Was I really missed?" Scooby added.
"A lot,I couldn't help seeing you that upset," Louis responded.
Scooby's Ears went up once again.
"I'm better now,I am going to get a Snack," Scooby informed.
"Get me one,Will ya?" Louis offered.
This was one of the rare times Louis wanted one too.
"Sure,I'll make it the best one yet," Scooby agreed.
When Scooby was leaving.
"Hey,Cowboy,You forgot something," Louis notified.
Scooby turned around again.
Louis threw him his Hat.
"You're not a Cowboy without a Cowboy Hat,I always liked Cowboy Dogs anyway," Louis commented as He put the Cowboy Hat,Onto Scooby's Head.
Scooby smiled.
He liked that he liked him as a Cowboy better,than,That,Silly Dead Justice.
"Thanks," Scooby thanked as he once again started to leave.
Louis smiled at him.
"You're Welcome," Louis whispered as He Smiled.
Scooby was, About to Step Out.
When.
Suddenly.
Louis Said Something.
"You know What,I'll come with you,We'll get Plump,Together," Louis added, Announcing It, Before Scooby could Leave.
"Sounds like a Plan,Blondie," Scooby said as He Smiled,And,Came Back to pick up Louis.
"Agreed,Scoobert," Louis answered.
As the Two went down the stairs together,to have some fun.
