Fred: Previously on Mystery Incorporated
Hot Dog Water walked into the House and locked it.
Before She could turn on a Light.
"Hello,Hot Dog Water," Mr. E announced as He turned on the Lamp,For Her.
Revealing,Him sitting on her Recliner.
"Mr. E,I," Marcie tried to explain.
"Don't go making Friends,Hot Dog Water,I put you in there,as my Eyes and Ears,You do as I say,Besides,If you cannot turn her,Go to Plan B," Mr. E insisted.
Well,Um,Marcie,Remember? How I brought,You in,To take Daphne's Place?" Velma asked,trying to Explain it,without hurting Her.
"Now,that,Daphne's Back,I,We," Velma continued.
"I fought for You to stay,but,Well,It's always been the Five of Us," Velma tried to Explain.
"A Team without Hot Dog Water,That was,Wrong Move Number Two,Don't Forget,Velma,I have a Replacement,If,You,Don't turn Out,I have Another,Of your Pathetic Team to Use,You Know What,I'll make this Simple for You,Maybe,I misjudged you,Velma,Maybe,You don't want to save your Friends,Maybe,You don't want to Save Crystal Cove,Maybe,You..." Mr. E eludicated,Before He got cut Off.
She was Done,Hearing Him.
She,Immediately,Hung Up.
She put her Phone away.
"Because of that," Young Brad pointed out pointing to a Hill of Bones with a Chest on top.
"The Planispheric Disc," Pericles whispered.
Louis,Suddenly,Got Pictures of Strange Things,He saw a Large Abandoned Church,And,A Weird Circular Disc.
The Circular Disc,When,He touched It,In his Mind.
It was,Like,He wanted It,Badly,Really,Badly.
"I don't understand,there are Six Pieces,Where are the other Five?" Pericles wondered from in the Box.
Fred went to the Night Stand,That was,Against the Wall,as He moved It.
When He moved It,A Strange Puzzle Piece fell Out.
Fred pushed It,Against the Door,Blocking Danny's Way In.
"Hey,guys,Look,Over There," Louis notified,Pointing to the Puzzle Piece,On the Floor.
"Good Eye,Louis," Scooby complemented,Winking at Him.
"It's,Like,Some Sort of Puzzle Piece," Velma stated,Picking It up,In her Hands.
"Amber Boxes,Bingo," Velma announced.
Velma and Marcie ran to the Box.
They opened it.
"Is that it? What Mr. E was looking for?" Marcie asked.
"Uh,Huh,The Third Piece of the Planispheric Disc,We found it," Velma agreed as she took the Piece out,announcing it,and putting it up to her Flashlight.
"Why did You come to Crystal Cove? Mr. Shepherd," Velma questioned,In Curiosity.
"It was the Cheese," Mr. Shepherd mentioned.
"Huh," The Gang responded in Unison,with a Weirded Out Tone.
"The Cheese told Me to come Here," Gene informed as He walked into his Truck.
Louis picked It up in his Hands,Once More.
Scooby grabbed the Other Side.
"Alright,On Three,Pull It apart," Louis commanded.
"Okay," Scooby agreed.
"One," Louis said.
Scooby grasped the Cheese Side,Tightly.
"Two," Velma counted.
"Like,Three," Shaggy finished.
Scooby pulled his Side of the Cheese off,Gently.
It revealed a Glowing Gold Puzzle Piece in the Middle if the Cheese.
She grabbed the Piece in the Middle.
It was Another Piece of the Planispheric Disc.
"Huh" Fred responded,in Shock.
Velma and Daphne Gasped in Surprise.
Shaggy saw It.
"Like,Zoinks,Another Piece of the Planispheric Disc," Shaggy announced.
"Whoa," Louis whispered.
"Ruh Roh," Scooby replied, in Fear.
That was When
A Strange Entity,Like,Thing,Pinned Him,To the Ground,And,Pierced Louis's Wrist.
Black Veins Spread,Across his Face and Arms as It continued to Spread,Throughout his Body.
He began,To Hear His Own Screams.
Except,They didn't Sound,Like,His,They sounded Deeper.
The Black Veins continued to Spread,Throughout his Body,And,They burned.
He tried,To fight It.
But,It wasn't Working.
Louis began,To Fall,Into Crystal Pieces.
He Screamed,As Loud as He could,While,It Happened.
"Stop," He commanded,Shouting Out,In Pain,Trying to Reason,With It
But,It did Not.
"Louis," The Entity called Out,To Him,In a Deep Voice.
Louis turned to It.
"How,How do You know my Name?" Louis wondered,In Curiosity,as He Grunted,From All the Pain,He was In.
"I know,Everything about You," It replied,As It touched his Forehead,With It's Tentacle.
Louis shook It off as He began to ask It,Questions.
"What are You? What's Your Name? What are You,What are You doing to Me?" Louis questioned as He Struggled to get Each Question,Out.
It Spoke,Back to Him.
But,It didn't Use Complete Sentences.
"It, Annunaki,What I Want and Need," It replied,In It's Deep Voice.
Suddenly.
The Things,Just Disappeared.
The Strange Entity,Disappeared,Along with It.
"Hot Dog Water,I am telling You,As Your Friend,Get Out,While You still can,Before,It's too Late,Before Mr. E refuses to let You go,I Know,If Anyone can do the Right Thing,It's You,So,Please,Stay Away from Mr. E," Louis warned as He grasped her Shoulders and looked into her Eyes.
"I,I can't,I have to tell Mr E,I have to Stay with Him,Or,He'll kill Me,He wants You on his Side,No Matter What," Hot Dog Water responded.
"He mentioned,That,He knew the Parker Family,That,All of your Family had Their Time,When They were a Tool,And,Now,It is Time for Yours," Hot Dog Water explained.
Louis sat Speechless.
He could not Believe,What,He had just Heard.
His Family had All been Tools of Someone.
He noticed,Louis,Sitting by His Side.
Looking Through a Batch of Papers,Paying No Attention to the Movie.
"I am Watching It," Louis lied,Not,Even,Glancing at Scooby,Staying Completely Focused,On his Papers.
He saw Louis,Being Pretty Enthralled in the Papers,Just Looking,Through Them,Anxiously.
Those Papers were,Quite Important to Him,At the Moment.
After All,They were Helping Him,In his Investigation.
"Like,I'm Bummed,Because,There's all This Free Chow,And,My Best Chowing Buddy's more Interested in Some Female,Than,Doing a Smack Down on the Cheese Buffet," Shaggy explained as He stayed,Looking Upset.
"No,Not Really,I am,Perfectly Happy,That,Scooby has Somebody,I think,He deserves It," Louis stated.
"Well,I am Not," Shaggy pointed out.
Louis and Velma looked at Each Other.
They Shook Their Heads at One Another.
They knew,Shaggy was a Little too Obsessed with Scooby.
"That's not very Nice," Louis notified.
"Like,You're any Better,Making Me lose My Best Friend," Shaggy murmured.
Louis turned to Shaggy,Hearing It.
Why was Shaggy being All Mad about That?
Louis asked Himself.
Shaggy turned to the Direction of the Scream.
He saw,It was Louis.
He Huffed.
"Ha,Like,Serves Him Right,For Ruining Me and Scooby's Friendship," Shaggy murmured as He Smiled,Seeing Louis,On the Floor,In Pain.
Shaggy's Smile,Quickly Faded,When He saw Scooby,Standing over Him,And,Them,Face to Face.
"Great,So,Now,Scooby pays,More Attention to Him,Than Me,Well Played,Brat," Shaggy complained as He saw Scooby,Standing over Louis.
"And,Where have You Two Been?" Shaggy questioned,In Anger.
"Surviving the Attack," Louis stated,Firmly.
"I've been with Louis,He was Hurt," Scooby pointed Out.
"I'm,Like,Sure He was,Louis,Probably,Forced You to Come Over There," Shaggy mumbled,Angrily.
"Like,What is your Plan Here Exactly? Cause,It seems Pretty Lame," Shaggy pointed out as He crossed his Arms.
"For Your Information,It isn't Lame,Now,That we have Both Victims,Present,And,Accounted For,We can Gather the Clues,That,We know,So Far,And,Look for a Connection,This should Help Us,Figure Out More,Of,What We're doing with," Louis retorted,Angrily.
"Yeah,Shaggy,It isn't Lame,So,Shh," Scooby added as He Commanded Shaggy to Shush.
Shaggy Frowned,In Irritation.
Shaggy Smiled as Scooby softed his Head.
He was Glad,To,Actually get Attention.
Louis Chuckled as He saw the Way,Scooby was Comforting Shaggy.
Shaggy's Smile Faded.
The Minute,Shaggy heard Louis's Chuckle.
What was He Chuckling about?
Shaggy asked Himself.
Suspiciously,Wondering,What Louis was Chuckling About.
"Thanks Scooby," Shaggy thanked.
"You're Welcome,Shaggy," Scooby replied.
"And,What were You Chuckling About?" Shaggy questioned,Angrily,At Louis.
"What? Am I not Allowed to Chuckle?" Louis wondered,Suspiciously.
"No,No,You're Not Allowed to Chuckle,Cause,You could be Chuckling about Something Mean,Or,You could,Like,Be Mocking Me,Secretly," Shaggy stated.
"Dude,What the Heck,It's Nothing,Like That,I was,Just Laughing,Cause of the Way Scooby was Comforting You," Louis informed,Firmly.
He did not Know,What was Up with His Friend,Shaggy.
Why was He,All of a Sudden,Acting like This?
Maybe,He could Ask Him about It.
He was Sure,Shaggy would tell Him.
They were Friends,After All.
Shaggy Smiled,Confidently.
He thought,Scooby was going to be Mad at Louis.
And,Then,He could,Go Back to Hanging with Him.
Just Him,And,Him Alone.
This was going to be the Best Part,He thought.
However,Shaggy was about to be,Sorely,Disappointed.
"Like,What?" Shaggy answered,Surprised to Hear,That,Scooby was,Not Mad at Him.
Shaggy mimicked Them as He heard Their Talk.
He Despised It.
And,He was,Still,Pretty Mad about Louis helping Scooby with the Nova Thing.
There was One Thing,He knew,For Sure.
That,This wasn't Over.
His Hate for Louis was,Just Beginning.
Scooby and Shaggy clinged to Each Other,As They heard It.
"Like,I don't think,That,Was the Movie," Shaggy stated.
"Yeah,Me Neither," Scooby agreed as He let go of Shaggy.
And,Clinged to Louis,as He Chattered his Teeth and Shook.
"I think,It's Coming,From behind the Screen," Louis added,as He looked at the Screen,With Interest as Scooby clinged to Him
"You've got to be Kidding," Shaggy murmured,In Irritation as He saw,Scooby cling to Him,Instead.
Since Scooby wasn't There.
Shaggy fell,Right,Onto the Ground.
Louis heard,the Large Thud.
And,Turned to Shaggy,In Concern.
"Shag,You Okay?" Louis asked,In Concern.
"Just Fine," Shaggy answered,In Anger,as He Frowned.
Shaggy was,So Frightened.
That,He,Completely,Went All Out.
He,Quickly,Picked Up Louis,Put Him,In his Wheelchair.
And,Pushed Him Out,As He ran,With Him.
Saving Them Both.
"I don't have a Doubt,With your Strong Muscles," Louis complemented.
"Yep,That's Me," Scooby bragged,Playfully.
Shaggy rolled his Eyes,as He heard Them.
Shaggy turned to Louis and Scooby.
And,Saw Them Both,Happy,Enjoying Each Other's Company as Louis softed Scooby's Head.
Shaggy lowered his Head,In Sadness,as He looked at It.
He missed,That.
A Lot.
"Uh,Guys,I See,That,This House is Interesting,To You Two,But,I don't think,That,This has Anything to do with the Mystery," Louis informed,Trying to Stay on Task.
"Like,What would You Know?" Shaggy questioned,Lashing Out at Louis,Angrily.
"Hey,Shag,I never got a Chance,To Thank You for Saving My Life,At the Movie Night," Louis added,Mentioning It,So,He could,Thank Him.
"Look,Louis,You don't have to," Shaggy started to Say,Before Louis Interrupted,So,He could Finish.
"So,Thank You," Louis thanked,Nicely,as He hugged Shaggy's Arm.
Shaggy turned to Him,And,Smiled.
"No Problem," Shaggy answered,In a Happy Tone,as He hugged Louis Back.
Yeah,He,Still,Was Mad at Louis,But,For Now,He was,Just,Gonna Let It Go.
After All,Louis was,Actually,Thanking Him.
"To a Future of Unimaginable Wealth," Mr E shouted as He raised his Glass,To the Sky.
"To the Treasure,For with It,We shall rule the World," Professor Pericles said as He raised his Glass.
Pericles picked his Up,Too.
As They Both did a Toast,Clinking Their Glasses Together,Putting Their Game Faces On.
This was It.
They were,No Longer going to Play Nice.
Their Real Work had,Just Begun.
Present Day
In the Town of Scorpion Wells.
A Tumbleweed rolled,Across the Ground,Passing a Lizard.
As It sat,On Top of a Branch
On the Scorpion Well's Mountain,Mount Diabla.
Ethan and Gary were Climbing the Mountain,With the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball.
Gary grabbed a Part of the Ledge,Tightly,Revealing Him to be dressed in Lederhosen,With the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball,In a Small Net,Attached to Gary's Pants,as He Climbed the Mountain.
"Mountain Climbing Rules,Brah,I'm getting an Unbelievable Calf Workout," Gary commented as He grasped the Ledge,With his Hands,Tightly,Before,Trying to Use It to pull Himself Up.
He was,Trying,But,It wasn't Working.
The Ledge was,Too Small to Help pull Him Up.
Climbing Up the Mountain,Behind Him,was Ethan.
He was,Almost,Right Behind,Gary.
"Righteous,Only One Question," Ethan mentioned as He stepped,On a Small Rock,To Try to help Gary.
"And,What is That?" Gary asked,In Curiosity.
"Why are You dressed Up,Like,Baron Von Dorkenstein?" Ethan questioned as He pushed,Against Gary's Butt,To See,If That could help Him,Get Up,Onto A Small Pathway,Up the Mountain.
"Ignorant Ethan,Say What?" Gary responded,In a Mocking Tone,as He grabbed,Onto the Edge,And,Pulled Himself Up,Onto the Path.
"What? Uh,You're the Ignoramus One,Gary," Ethan replied,Before Realizing,What He was Saying,As He retorted Back to Gary,While,Climbing Up to the Path,Too.
The Two started to Walk,Along the Path,Up the Mountain,Smoothly.
"Give Me the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball,It's My Turn to bond with It," Ethan demanded,From behind Gary,as They walked,Through the Path.
"I thought,You bonded in the Car,Sure sounded like It,Mwah," Gary commented,Not Wanting to give It Up,as He made a Point,And,Kissed the Ball.
All of a Sudden.
Something flew,Over Them Both,Into the Sun.
Ethan and Gary turned to the Direction,They saw It,Fly to.
Ethan looked Up to the Sun,as Gary continued to Climb without Him.
"Uh,What was That?" Ethan wondered,as He looked Up,To the Sky,Wondering What That was.
Gary turned Back,To the Sky,To Check,Before,Going Back to looking Down.
"Probably,Just your Mom,Out Here to tell You,That,You're Late,For being a Bonehead," Gary added,as He continued to Walk Up the Path,Ignoring What They had,Just Seen.
"No,You're Late for being a Bonehead,So's Your Mom,And,Your Mom's Mom,And,Her Mom's," Ethan was Saying,Trying to give a Sick Burn,And,Failing,Miserably,as He followed Up,After Him.
But,Before Ethan could Finish.
A Loud Screech came,From Behind Them.
Both Boys turned Around,In Alarm,Hearing the Screeches.
As They looked,They saw a Horned-Winged Creature,Fly at Them,Screeching with Shrieks,In It's Voice.
Ethan and Gary Screamed,In Fear,as They jumped to the Ground,Dodging It,So,It wouldn't grab Them.
The Winged Creature flew Down,Towards Gary.
Gary Gasped as He Rolled Out of the Way.
Making It Miss.
The Creature flew Back,Into the Air,as It turned Around,Towards Them.
Both Boys got to Their Feet,And,Turned Around.
Running Down the Mountain,With the Winged Thing,Right Behind Them.
Both Boys ran,as Fast as They could.
As They jumped,Off a Rock,To the Ledge,That,They had,Just,Recently Climbed.
The Two stopped at the Ledge,Trying not to fall Down,The Mountain.
The Creature Screeched,Again,as It flew,Down,From the Sky to Them.
Both Boys Screamed,Again,as They jumped Off the Ledge,Falling onto Their Butts.
The Two slid,Down the Dirty Slope,With the Creature Flying Down,After Them.
As They were,Sliding Down,The Slope,The Net,Holding the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball,Got Caught on a Branch.
While the Net was Caught,It tore the Net,Holding the Soccer Ball,Open,Making It fall Out of the Net,Separating It,From Ethan and Gary.
The Winged Creature flew,Towards the Soccer Ball,And,Grabbed It,In It's Talons.
The Creature flew,Back Up to the Sky,Leaving the Boys to fall Down,The Mountain.
"Aaah,Not the Ball," Ethan and Gary called Out,In Unison,Watching the Creature take It,And,Fly Off with It,as They started Falling Down,The Mountain,Hitting Every Rock and Ledge,as They rolled Down It.
The Boys Screamed and Groaned,And,Grunted,as They rolled Down,Out of Control,Down to the Bottom of the Mountain.
Meanwhile.
Up in a Branch,On the Mountain.
The Creature flew,With the Team's Soccer Ball,In It's Clutches,Onto the Branch.
It landed,Right,On the Branch.
"Away,Stay Away,As Far as the Wicked Eye can See,This Wicked Mountain belongs to Me," The Winged Creature shouted,So,The Whole Mountain,And,The People below It,Could Hear.
The Next Day
At Louis and Tanya's Old House.
The Door was Wide Open.
And,The House was a Complete Mess.
Scooby and Louis were,There,In his Grandmother's Old Room.
Louis was,At Her Desk,Looking Through Her Papers,That,She had,Lying Around.
While,Scooby was,In an Old Safe,Of Pretty Old Papers,Dating Back to,About 24 Years Ago.
Around the Time,Before the Old Mystery Incorporated Disappeared.
"So,Why are We Here,Exactly?" Scooby asked Louis,In Suspicion,as He sat,On the Bed,Looking Through the Old Papers.
Louis heard his Question,And,Completely Panicked.
"Oh,Well,We're,Uh,Here for Things about My Family,I,I have a School Project coming Up,And,I decided to do It,On My Family,Can't do the Project,Without Learning Some Really Personal Things," Louis lied as He Smiled,Nervously,And,Scratched the Back of his Neck.
Scooby raised an Eyebrow as He looked at Louis.
Silently,Telling Him,You Expect Me to believe That?
The Truth was,Louis was Here,Looking for Any Sign of Proof,That,His Grandmother,Or,Any of his Other Family Members worked for Mr. E.
He had been,Investigating This,Ever Since,He heard,What Hot Dog Water Said,About his Family.
But,He didn't want to tell Scooby,That.
Cause,He wasn't So Sure,He'd Understand.
However.
He,Only,Brought Him Along,Cause,He knew,He couldn't search the Whole House,By Himself.
And,Truthfully,He was a Little Scared,So,He didn't want to be Out,Alone.
"Louis,What aren't You telling Me?" Scooby questioned as He stared at Louis,With his Eyebrow Raised.
"What? Not telling You,What would make You Think,That,I was hiding Something?" Louis responded,Nervously,as He looked Around,The Room,Looking for Anything to Change the Conversation to.
"Uh,Huh,Alright,Come Clean,What is It?" Scooby ordered, as He crossed his Arms,Knowing,That,He was hiding Something,And,Not Letting It Slide to the Back Burner.
Louis gulped,as He started to Sweat,From How Nervous He was.
Now,What was He gonna Say to Him?
He,Clearly,Wasn't going to buy Another Lie.
He needed to come Up,With Something.
And,Quick.
Suddenly.
Louis's Phone Rang,Out Loud.
Putting Both Boys on High Alert,as They turned to his Phone,That,Was Sitting on the Desk.
"Oh,Look,My Phone's going Off,Well,I gotta Answer It," Louis commented,Happily,as He rolled Over to his Phone,Glad to have put a Pin,In This Conversation.
Scooby shook his Head,Playfully,as He heard his Ridiculous Comment.
Louis picked Up his Phone,And,Answered It.
"Hello,This is,Oh,Hey,Yeah,We're,Just doing Our Own Thing,What? Really? Man," Louis replied,Plainly,Before hearing the Person,Once He heard,Who It was,He got Excited,as He Answered,To Everything,That,The Person was Saying,Over the Phone.
Scooby watched Him Talk,Looking at Him,With a Confused Look.
Wondering,Who,The Heck,He was talking to.
"Yeah,Of Course,We'll be There,Right Away," Louis answered as He hung Up the Phone,And,Put It,In his Pocket.
"Who was That?" Scooby wondered,In Curiosity,as He,Still,Sat on the Bed.
"It was Vel,We got a Case," Louis informed,Firmly.
Scooby's Look of Confusion,Changed to a Look of Worry.
"Oh,We better Go,Then," Scooby stated as He motioned for Louis to follow Him.
"Yeah," Louis agreed,Agreeing with Scooby's Statement,And,Following Him Out the Door.
As Both Boys went Out the Door,To Their Stop.
At the Hospital.
Fred and the Gang burst the Door Open,To Ethan and Gary's Room,Immediately,Worrying about Them.
At Least,Fred was.
"Guys, We heard,What Happened,And,Rushed,Right Over," Fred announced as Him and the Gang,Ran into the Room.
The Gang stood,In Front of Ethan and Gary's Beds.
"Why?" Gary asked,In an Angry Tone,as He laid in his Bed,Full of Bandages,With Ethan's Bed,Right,Beside His.
"Because,What Happened to You,Is a Mystery,Isn't It?" Velma replied,Putting her Hands,On her Hips,as She looked at the Two of Them.
"You Know,For Them,Anything's a Mystery," Louis added,In a Annoyed Voice,as He crossed his Arms.
Scooby Chuckled,Slightly,When He heard Louis's Comment.
"The Only Mystery is,How Captain Fumble-Thumbs McMountaindork lost the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball," Ethan pointed Out,Angrily,as He glared at Gary,From the Corner of his Eye.
"It wasn't My Fault,The Bag Ripped," Gary lashed Out,Furiously.
"They seem Fine to Me," Louis muttered to Fred,With an Annoyed Look on his Face.
"Me Too," Scooby agreed as He leaned,On Louis.
Shaggy rolled his Eyes,In Annoyance,as He listened to Them.
"It hurts My Feelings,That,You think,I did,That,On Purpose,Ethan," Gary stated as He turned Away,From Ethan,Hurt by his Accusation.
Ethan's Angry Glare,Turned to a Sad Face.
"I'm,I'm Sorry," Ethan apologized,Softly,as He looked to the Side,While Apologizing.
"Psych,Ow,My Feelings are Completely Intact," Gary announced as He laughed,Before feeling Pain,From the Laughing,And,Then,Continuing to Brag.
Ethan Growled as He started to Blush,From Embarrassment.
"I hate You," Ethan shouted as He blushed,And,Looked at Ethan,With Narrowing Eyes.
The Gang watched,as They heard Them Go,Back and Forth.
"Yikes,What is Wrong with These Two?" Scooby questioned,In Irritation.
"Everything,Scoob,Everything," Velma replied,Firmly.
Scooby nodded,In Agreement,To Velma's Statement.
"Guys,Don't Worry,Good Ole Freddy is Here,I'll get the Ball Back,What are Friends For?" Fred reassured,Promising Them,That,He'd get the Ball Back,For his Friends.
The Rest of the Gang looked at Each Other,With Concern,Worried with,What They were getting Into.
"Dude,We've never been your Friend," Ethan informed,Plainly.
"I'd pay Someone,To make You leave Town,Again,If My Allowance was Bigger," Gary mentioned,In a Irritated Tone.
Fred Chuckled,as He walked Up to Them.
"Ha,You Two,Such Kidders,Come on,Come Here," Fred requested,In a Happy Tone,as He went Up to Them,And,Pulled Them,Into a Hug.
Ethan and Gary Screamed and Groaned as He hugged Them,Tightly.
They're Bones were Cracking,Just,From Getting Up.
"Ow," Ethan and Gary whispered,Quietly,as He hugged Them.
Later.
The Gang were,Already,In the Desert,On Their Way.
The Mystery Machine past,Another Empty Street,Continuing On to Their Destination.
As They sat in the Mystery Machine,They talked Out,What had Happened in There.
"For Attacking Ethan and Gary,We should find This Monster,And,Giver Her a Medal," Daphne said,Not Really,Seeing,Why,They were going,Through All This Trouble,For Them.
"Hey,Ethan and Gary aren't,That Bad," Fred pointed Out,Not Understanding,Why,She was being,So Mean to Them.
"Yes,They Are," Louis,Scooby,Shaggy and Daphne retorted,In Unison,as They Frowned at Him,The More,He stuck Up,For Them.
"They Mean Well," Fred added,Nicely.
"No,They don't," Shaggy,Scooby,Louis and Daphne,Replied Back,At the Same Time,as They glared at Fred,With Their Arms Crossed.
"You're with Me,Right,Velma,It's a Mystery,Right?" Fred asked,as He drove,Wondering,If,At Least,Someone was with Him,On This.
"I sure,Hope So,Because,There isn't Any Other Reason,To go to a Place called,Scorpion Wells," Velma answered,Normally,Really Hoping,There was a Mystery,Here.
"Well,If It's Alright with You,Velma,It's Alright with Me," Scooby added,Agreeing to Go,If She wanted To.
While The Gang talked,The Mystery Machine drove,Past the Scorpion Wells Sign,Into Town.
Fred stopped the Mystery Machine,And,Parked,At a Round About.
As the Gang got Out,And,Looked Around,The Place,N
Not Really,Seeing Much.
All They could see was,A Bunch of Tanks of Propane,Just,About,Everywhere,A Giant Shed,A Few Canisters,A Few Old Silos,And,A Whole Lot of Rusted RV's.
Scooby looked at the Place,With a Weirded Out Look.
"This Place is a Dump,No Offense,To the People," Louis commented as He looked at the Town,With Disgust,While,Trying to,Be as Nice,As Possible.
"Like,Yeah,Are You Sure,This is a Town? It looks,More like,A Place,Where Old Trailers come to Die," Shaggy questioned,as He looked at the Place,With a Grossed Out Look,Pointing Out,What,He thought,It looked like.
As The Gang were Looking Around,The Wind,Suddenly,Started to Pick Up.
Blowing Sand,In Their Faces.
Fred,Shaggy and Velma shut Their Eyes as They turned Away,From the Blowing Sand.
Louis,Daphne,and Scooby covered Their Eyes,Trying to keep the Sand,Out of Their Eyes.
And,Just,As Sudden as It Came.
The Wind went.
Revealing a Bunch of People,That,had,Completely Surrounded Them.
"Huh," Fred murmured as He turned to Them,Seeing One,Right Behind Him.
The Mysterious People began to Approach Them,Silently.
Scooby Whimpered as He saw Them,Approaching.
Louis patted Scooby's Head,Slightly,Trying to keep Him Calm.
Mystery Incorporated looked,All Around Them,as They saw The People,Approaching from Everywhere.
They had,Nowhere to Go.
The Gang,Slowly,Backed Away,From The People,Cautiously,Not taking Their Eyes off Them,For One Second.
As They backed Up,Into the Middle,Standing Back to Back,From Each Other.
Not Liking,What They were Seeing.
Suddenly.
The Door to the Shed,Burst Open,as a Another Person,With Their Face Covered,Came Out.
The Gang turned to Their Side,Seeing the Person,Walk Out of the Large Shed.
They All Gasped,At the Same Time,as They saw the Person,Walk Down the Steps,Towards Them.
The Six of Them watched as the Person Approached Them,Quickly,Not Wasting Any Time.
Scooby continued to Whimper,as He clinged to Louis,In Concern.
The People,All Around Them,Just,Stared at Them,Doing Nothing,And,Saying Nothing.
Like,This Other Person was,In Charge.
The Mysterious Figure lifted It's Goggles.
And,Took off It's Mask,Throwing It to the Ground.
Revealing It to be...
Just,An Elderly Woman.
"Well,Howdy,There,Folks,Welcome to Scorpion Wells," The Woman Shouted,as She Smiled,Lifting Up her Arms,Gesturing to All of Scorpion Wells.
The Gang,All,Let Out a Sigh of Relief,Seeing,That,She was Friendly.
After the Woman said That,All The People around Them,Started taking Off Their Bandage Masks.
Revealing Their Deformed Faces as They All started Speaking Gibberish,While,Taking Them Off.
"Hey,How You Doing?" One asked as He took off his Mask.
"Sup,The Name's,Granny Snaggletooth," Granny Snaggletooth introduced,Excitedly,Telling Them her Name,as She pointed to Herself.
"Uh,Nice to Meet You,I'm Louis,This is Scooby,Scooby-Doo,Along with Our Other Friends,Shaggy,Daphne,Velma and Fred," Louis announced,Telling Her,All Their Names.
"Nice to Meet Y'all,This Here's,Lobster Man,Bucket Head Brenda,And,Uh,The Hideous Ugly Jimmy," Granny Snaggletooth Finished, as She walked,Across,Finishing Introducing Her Friends,That,Stood by Her,Saying Jimmy's Name,With Dis-Interest.
Jimmy took Off his Bandage Mask,Revealing his Face,as He Frowned,Upon taking It Off.
"Ah," Daphne mumbled,Gasping,Under Her Breath,In Excitement,as She looked at Him,Smiling,Loving,The Way,He looked.
Fred turned to Daphne,Hearing Her Excitement,as He watched,With Dis-Trust.
"He,Don't,Quite Fit,Around Here,What with Him,Being,Uh,So Deformed and All," Snaggletooth commented,Whispering The Comment,To Fred.
Jimmy lowered his Head,In Sadness,as He heard Snaggletooth's Comment.
"Hubba,Hubba," Daphne Whispered as She walked Up to Jimmy,Admiring Him,From,Up Close.
Fred raised an Eyebrow,With a Weirded Out Look,as He watched Her stare at Him,With Interest.
And,Boy,Did He not like It,At All.
"Uh,Thank You,Strange and Kindly Desert Folk,We're,Investigating a Mystery,We'd like to Ask a Few Questions,If You don't Mind?" Fred explained,Politely,as He grabbed,Daphne's Arm,And,Pulled Her Back to the Rest of the Gang,Starting to Explain Their Reasons,For Being There.
Daphne reached Out to Jimmy,For Him to come to Her,as Fred pulled Her Away.
"Don't Mind at All," Snaggletooth replied,Perkily.
"Great,We," Fred tried to Say,Before He was Interrupted.
"As Long as This Tall Drink of Water's,Doing the Asking,What's Your Name,Handsome?" Snaggletooth mentioned,Adding Conditions to Her,Answering Questions,Before,Grabbing Shaggy,By the Arm,Asking,For Shaggy's Name,In a Flirty Voice,While,Clinging to his Arm.
Shaggy Whimpered as He began to Shake,From,How Uncomfortable,He was,Starting to Feel,With Her Flirting.
Velma and Scooby looked at Each Other,With Weirded Out Looks,as They listened to Her Flirt.
"Like,Sh-Shaggy," Shaggy answered,Nervously,as He scratched the Back of his Neck,Cause of,How Uncomfortable,He was Feeling.
"Ooh,I,Always loved,That Name," Granny Snaggletooth stated.
Scooby watched Snaggletooth,as She continued to Flirt,With Shaggy,Now finding It,Quite Hilarious..
As He watched Them,He Chuckled,Slightly,Finding Her Flirting with Him,Hilarious.
"Why are You Laughing?" Louis asked,Quietly,In Curiosity.
Scooby pointed,Over to Shaggy and Granny Snaggletooth,as He continued to Laugh.
Louis shook his Head,Playfully,as He,Looked at,What Scooby was Laughing About.
"What would You All,Like to Know?" Jimmy wondered,Firmly,Trying to get,Back on Subject.
"How You got,Such Broad Shoulders,And,That,Cute,Little Dimple,On Your Chin," Daphne explained,Completely,Forgetting,About the Mystery,as She touched his Broad Shoulders,Admiring Him,While,Staring at his Face,And,Pointing to the Dimple,On his Chin.
"Don't look at Me,I'm Hideous," Jimmy shouted Out,as He stepped Away,From Her,And,Covered his Face.
Daphne stood There,Frozen,With a Confused Look,Wondering,What She Said,That was Wrong.
"Miss Snaggletooth,We're Here,Because,A Couple of Fellow Students,Recently,Fell Off your Mountain,Mount Diabla," Velma eludicated,as She approached Her,And,Finished,Telling Her,Why They were There.
Granny Snaggletooth's Smile,Quickly,Faded,When She heard the Name,Mount Diabla.
She shoved Shaggy,Out of the Way,And,To the Ground,as She turned to Velma.
"What You wanna Go,Messing,Around,On That Mountain For?" Granny Snaggletooth questioned,Aggressively,Pointing to the Rest of the Gang,In General,as She got Up,In Velma's Face.
Scooby Growled,In Anger,as He saw Her,All Up,In Velma's Face.
Scooby got,In Between Velma and Granny Snaggletooth,Standing in Front of Velma,To Protect Her,as Granny Snaggletooth stood,Now,In his Face.
"Huh," Louis,Fred,Velma and Daphne whispered,In Unison,as They looked at Each Other,In Confusion,On,Why She got So Angry,All of a Sudden.
"Tell You What,We having Ourselves a Barbecue,Tonight,Stay and Eat,And,We'll tell You,All About Mount Diabla," Granny Snaggletooth offered,Politely,Giving Them a Chance to learn,About Mount Diabla.
"Oh,Really,Thanks," Louis thanked,Nicely,as He Smiled.
"And,Why,You should,Just,Forget,You,Ever Heard of It," Granny Snaggletooth added,Furiously,as She raised Her Fists,And,got,In Louis's Face.
"Okie Dokie," Louis responded,In an Uncomfortable Tone,as He stared at Her,While,She was,In his Face.
As Louis and Scooby looked,At Each Other,With Concern,For,What They were getting,Into.
That Night.
At the Barbecue.
Everyone sat Together,In a Circle,Around the Bon Fire,Not Saying a Word.
Well,Most People sat,At Least.
Granny Snaggletooth was the Only One,Standing.
She stood,In Front of the Fire,With a Stick,Full of Mini Sticky Tires.
She had,Impaled the Tires,Right Through,The Stick.
Like,A Kebab.
Granny Snaggletooth saw the Tires,All Nice and Sticky,as She Smiled.
She moved the Stick,Away,From the Fire,And,Towards Her Mouth.
As She licked the Hot Sticky Tires,On a Stick.
Fred,Daphne and Velma stared at Her,Watching Her lick the Tires,With Disturbed Looks,On Their Faces.
"Gee,Granny Snaggletooth,This is a Lovely...Tire Fire," Daphne stated,Feeling Weirded Out From the Silence,as She Smiled Nervously,Trying to be Nice.
"Yep,Smoke gets the Skin,All Nice and Oily,Don't It," Granny Snaggletooth Said,Happily,Rubbing Her Arms,Feeling the Oil,On Her Skin
"Uh,T.M.I," Louis murmured,In a Disgusted Tone,Not Really,Wanting to hear That.
"Oh,Like,You'll be Fine," Shaggy pointed Out,Angrily.
Louis was,About to Say Something.
So,He could Ask,What the Heck,Was Wrong with Him,Getting Tired of All This Insulting,That,He had been doing to Him,The Past Few Weeks.
He'd come to the Point,Where,He was,Now,Getting Mad at Him.
Louis was about to Ask Him.
When Scooby Interrupted Him.
Scooby Panted,Heavily,as He sat Down,In Louis's Lap.
"Yikes,It's,Hot Out Here," Scooby mentioned,as He sat,In Louis's Lap,Starting to Sweat.
Louis and Shaggy turned Away,From Each Other,And,Didn't Say a Word.
"Flaming Tire Roasted Lizard,On a Stick?" Granny Snaggletooth offered,Offering It to Daphne,Fred and Velma,as She put It,In Their Faces.
"Uh,No,Thank You," Fred,Daphne and Velma refused,Politely,Looking at the Tire on a Stick,With Disgust.
Granny Snaggletooth turned to Shaggy,Louis and Scooby,Offering It to Them.
"Uh,I'm Good," Louis and Scooby warned,In Unison,Looking at the Tires,On the Stick,Finding It,Extremely Un-Appetizing.
"Like,I'm Good,Too," Shaggy informed,Nicely,Kindly,Moving It Away,From Himself.
"Suit Yourselves," Granny Snaggletooth replied as She lifted the Stick,To Her Mouth,And,Shoved the Tires and the Lizard,Off the Stick,And,Into Her Mouth.
Granny Snaggletooth Smiled as She Munched,On the Tires.
"So,Now,That,We're All Friends,What's the Deal with Mount Diabla?" Velma asked,Trying to Hurry It,Along.
Granny Snaggletooth Spit Out,Part of the Flaming Tire as She began to Reply.
"It's an Evil, Horrible Place," Granny Snaggletooth notified,Angrily.
Velma Frowned,Hearing What Granny Snaggletooth Said.
They had,Already heard That.
The Team needed,More,Than,Just,That,It was an Evil Place.
"Now,Don't You Move,I'm gonna get Me,Some More Meat," Snaggletooth Commanded,Firmly,as She ran,Over to the Side of the Shed,Picking Up a Large Shot-Gun,In Her Hands,Before,Cocking It,And,Running Off,To Find More Meat.
As She Disappeared,Into the Shadows,To go Find More Food.
Jimmy walked,Over to Where,She,Previously,Stood.
To Continue,Explaining to Them,About Mount Diabla.
"Dark Lilith protects Mount Diabla,From All Trespassers,Nobody goes Up There," Jimmy explained,Continuing,From,Where Granny Snaggletooth Left Off.
"And,Dark Lilith is?" Louis wondered,as He Gulped,In Concern,For,What He was,About to Hear.
"Dark Lilith is a demon,A Flying demon,Who protects the Mountain,From Everyone,Even Us,No One,Really,Know's Why,But,She,Just,Doesn't Want,Anyone Up There,And,We,Like,To Keep It,That Way,Rumor has It,That,Her Lair,Is,All the Way,At the Top,Of the Mountain" Jimmy eludicated,Answering Louis's Question,Rather Quickly.
That was When.
Something Screeched,At Them.
The Screech echoed,Through the Entire Camp.
Louis covered his Ears,as He heard the Loud Screech.
Shaggy and Scooby jumped Up,In Alarm,as They heard It.
"Like,What is That?" Shaggy questioned,In Fear,as He looked Up,To the Sky,Looking for Her,Pointing to Wherever,She may Be.
"Dark Lilith," Jimmy shouted,In Terror.
"Excellent Timing,That's For Sure," Louis commented,Out Loud,as He looked for,Any Sight of Her.
Dark Lilith flew,Down,From the Mountain,Towards the Camp.
"Here She Comes," Scooby announced,Fearfully,Looking at the Sky,as He saw Her,Fly Down to Them.
Dark Lilith flew,Through the Camp,Screeching,as She flew,Into a Trailer.
"Where'd She Go?" Louis questioned,In Concern,Looking Around for Her.
"I think,She went,Into That Trailer," Velma pointed Out,Pointing to the Trailer,That,She was In.
Dark Lilith flew Out,Of the Bottom of the Trailer,And,Lifted It Up to the Sky.
As She threw It,Into the Air,Across Camp.
The Townspeople and the Gang Screamed,At the Same Time,as They saw the Trailer,Coming at Them.
"Scoob,Duck," Shaggy demanded,as He ran,Into Scooby,Tackling Him to the Ground,Saving Him.
"Thanks,Shaggy," Scooby thanked,as He Smiled,At his Friend.
"Don't Thank Me,Yet," Shaggy responded,Confidently.
"Louis,Look Out," Scooby informed,Seeing the Trailer,Fly,Towards Him.
Louis turned to the Trailer,That was Flying,Directly,At Him.
Louis Screamed as He tried to Duck.
However.
It was,In Vain.
Cause,The Trailer,Still,Got Him.
As It flew,By Him,the Bumper of the Trailer,Hit Him,Right,In the Cheek,Knocking Him to the Ground.
Dark Lilith stopped,Attacking,For a Minute,When She saw Louis,Get Hit.
"Louis," Shaggy,Scooby and Velma,All,Called Out,At Once.
"No," Dark Lilith Yelled,In Frustration,as She saw It Happen.
Dark Lilith flew,Underneath One of the Old Trucks,as She lifted It,And,Threw It to the Ground.
She Screeched,At Them,as She,Flew,Away From the Truck,Into a Another Trailer.
Emerging,Through the Side of the Trailer,Destroying the Inside.
The Gang and the Townspeople stood,Frozen,In Fear,While,They watched Her,Destroy the Camp.
Shaggy and Scooby Whimpered,as They watched,All the Destruction,That,She was Causing.
And,She wasn't Stopping,Either.
She flew,From the Trailer,Towards One of the Utility Poles,That was,Holding Up the Lightbulb Decorations.
She sliced It,In Half, as She flew,past It,Before,Flying towards Something Else,To Attack.
The Pole came,Tumbling Down,Towards Them.
As the Pole was Falling,The Lightbulbs were,Beginning to Shatter,Breaking Them,And,Taking Down,The Other Poles.
The Poles continued to Fall Down,Shutting Down,All the Trailer's Power,as It started to Fall,Towards Shaggy and Scooby.
"Get Up,Get Up,Get Up," Shaggy commanded as He got to his Feet,And,Rushed Scooby Up,So,They could Move.
Shaggy and Scooby took Off,Running Away,From the Falling Cable.
Completely,Avoiding the Pole as It fell,Into the Townspeople's Bon Fire.
At the Same Time.
Dark Lilith flew,Into Another Trailer,Slashing Everything,Inside,Before,Flying,Right Back Out,Again,Through the Side of It,as She continued to Screech,And,Scream.
Dark Lilith turned to the,Still,Burning Bon Fire.
She Snarled as She flew,Towards the Fire.
Flying,Straight,Into It.
Ramming Into,All the Burning Tires.
The Flaming Tires came,Flying Out of the Fire.
As They rolled,Towards Fred,Velma and Daphne.
"Whoa," Fred responded as He saw the Coming Tires.
"Move," Daphne ordered,Fiercely,as She pushed,Her and Fred,Out of the Way.
Velma turned to Check on Louis,Checking on his Status.
She saw,One Tire,Rolling,Straight,Towards Him.
"Oh No," Velma whispered,Seeing Him,In Trouble,And,Running,To Him,To Try,And,Save Him.
She ran,Towards the Flaming Tire,Attempting to Outrun It,To Save Louis.
"Hang On,Louis," Velma called Out,as She,Jumped Over the Flaming Tire,And,Onto Louis.
She turned to the Direction of the Tire,To See,How Close It Was.
She saw It,Almost,Right,In Front of Them.
"Oh,Shoot," Velma yelled,Seeing It Coming.
Velma acted,Quickly.
She grasped Louis,Tightly,as She rolled Him and Her,Out of the Burning Tire's Path,And,To Safety.
As for the Tire,It rolled,Past Them,And,Into a Shed.
Velma let Out a Sigh of Relief,as She saw It,Miss Them.
"Thanks,Vel," Louis thanked as He looked Up,At Her,Thanking Her for the Save.
"Your Welcome,Louie," Velma answered,as She Smiled at Him.
"Look Out," Louis warned as He saw,A Flying Tire,Coming,Straight for Them.
He acted,Fast,as He rolled Her and Him,Out of the Way of the Flying Tire.
Saving Them Both.
"Jinkies,Wow,I Guess,We'll call It,Even," Velma stated as She chuckled,Awkwardly.
She couldn't believe,That,She,Almost got hit,By the Tire.
"Yeah,Yeah,We'll call It,Even," Louis agreed as He Smiled,Right Back at Her.
Dark Lilith watched,All the Chaos,as She began to Laugh,Wickedly.
"Oh,What are You Laughing About?" Shaggy questioned,Furiously.
Dark Lilith,Completely,Ignored Him,as She continued to Laugh,While,Standing on the Bon Fire.
Everyone turned Their Attention to Her,Once They heard Her Laughing.
"Seek not This Mountain,For If You Do,I will prove My Threats are True,Forever in Pain,Shall Ye Be,As I feast,Upon Your Lives,For All Eternity," Dark Lilith threatened as She flew Off the Fire,Back Into the Air,While,She talked.
As She continued to Speak,The Sun started to Rise.
Once She was Finished,She let Out,One Final Screech as She flew,Away,From the Bon Fire.
Starting to Fly Off,Back,Towards the Mountain.
As The Gang watched,They were,Thinking,That,The Worst was,Finally Over.
But,Boy,Were They Wrong?
Dark Lilith turned,Back towards the Camp,as She saw a Water Tower.
She flew,Back to the Camp.
And,Right Through the Water Tower's Support Beams,Slashing Them.
Making the Water Tower tip Over,Getting Ready to Break,as It would hit the Ground.
The Gang Gasped as They saw the Water Tower,Coming Down,Towards Them.
"Run," Daphne notified,Seeing the Water Tower,Falling.
Scooby grabbed Louis,Quickly,So,He wouldn't get Left,Behind,as He motioned for Shaggy,To Follow Him.
Fred grabbed Daphne and Velma as He led Them,Away,From the Falling Tower.
As It came Close to the Ground.
The Gang,All Screamed,At Once,as They ran Away,From the Tower,In Different Directions.
However.
The Tower fell,Directly,Onto the Burning Fire,Burning It Out.
And,Sweeping Everyone Up,In the Water,Anyway,Completely,Soaking Them All.
Later.
After Granny Snaggletooth had gotten Back.
Things were,About to take a Turn for the Worst.
"You brought the Wrath of Dark Lilith,Upon Us,With All Your Fancy Talk of Climbing,That,Forbidden Mountain," Granny Snaggletooth accused,Aggressively,as She Backed,The Gang Up,While,She talked.
The Gang stood,In Front of Granny Snaggletooth as She talked.
They didn't,Really,Know What to Say.
But,They were,Still,Going to Try.
"Well,Um," Louis tried to Say,as He sat,Next to Scooby,Shivering,From How Wet He was.
Scooby sat,Beside Him,With his Arm,Around Louis.
He was,Trying to Warm Him Up,From the Cold Water,That,Louis was Soaked In.
But,Granny Snaggletooth,Instantly,Interrupted Louis,Not letting Him Speak.
"Now,Leave,Before,Things get Ugly," Granny Snaggletooth demanded,as She put Her Goggles,Back On,And,Got in Fred's Face.
The Gang were Speechless.
And,The Townspeople weren't Helping.
They were There,Insulting Them,And,Agreeing with Her.
As Most of Them,Spoke,In Gibberish,With Anger,In Their Voices.
"Yeah,Get Out of Here," One added,Furiously.
"You're So Weird," Another Commented.
"Come On,Guys," Fred whispered to the Gang,Telling Them,That,They needed to Go,Before Things got Any Worse.
Fred started to Walk,Towards the Exit.
The Townspeople,All,Got Out of the Way,To watch Them Leave.
Fred motioned for the Gang,To follow Him.
Louis,Scooby,Shaggy,Daphne and Velma nodded,In Agreement,as They Walked,Behind Him,Following his Lead,On This.
As The Gang began to Walk,Out of Town,Other Townspeople continued to Insult Them.
"You don't belong,Here," One mentioned.
"That's Right,Keep Going," Another demanded,In a Snooty Tone.
The Gang continued to Walk,as They heard Them,Continuously Insult Them.
Most of Them were,Ignoring It.
But,Scooby wasn't liking It.
He was having Issues,Ignoring It.
Scooby grasped his Ears,as He kept,Trying to Ignore Them.
"Here,SD," Louis mumbled as He put his Hands,On Scooby's Ears,To help Him,Ignore It.
Scooby let Out a Sigh of Relief.
He was Glad,That,He didn't have to hear Them,Anymore.
As The Gang continued to Leave,Shaggy walked,All the Way,In the Back,Following Them,With a Frown on his Face.
When.
Granny Snaggletooth grabbed Shaggy's Wrist,Stopping Him,From Continuing.
She pulled Him,Closer to Her,So,She could Whisper to Him.
"You could,Still,Swing by My Trailer,A Little Later On,Shaggy the Man," Granny Snaggletooth offered as She walked Her Finger,Across Shaggy's Chest,While,She Offered It to Him.
"Well,Uh," Shaggy tried to Say.
But,She wouldn't let Him,Finish.
"I'll show You,How I can Open Dog Food Cans,With My Fancy Can Opener Tooth," Granny Snaggletooth finished as She looked at Him,Closely.
Granny Snaggletooth reached,Into Her Mouth,Grasping One of Her Teeth,Tightly.
As She,Pried It,Out of Her Mouth,To Show Him,She lifted It,And,Held It,In Shaggy's Face.
While,She held It,Drool and Dust,Started Dripping Down,From the Tooth.
Shaggy stared at the Tooth,With Disgust.
"Like,Ew," Shaggy murmured as He looked at It,Cringing,By,Just,The Sight of It
After Leaving Town,The Gang,All sat,In the Van,as They drove Off,Back to Crystal Cove.
Feeling Pretty Disappointed On,How Much This Mystery was Never going to be Solved.
Well,Most of Them,At Least.
Fred,Daphne and Velma sat,In the Front of the Mystery Machine,Silent.
While,Shaggy,Scooby and Louis sat,In the Back,Still,Soaking Wet,From the Water Tower's Water,Not being as Silent as the Other Three.
Scooby sat,Next to Louis,Licking his Bleeding Cheek, as He had his Paws,On Louis's Shoulders.
Scooby licked his Wounded Cheek,Profusely,Trying to make It feel Better.
Louis Chuckled,Slightly,as Scooby licked his Cheek.
"Scoob,I don't think,That's gonna make It feel Any Better," Louis stated,With a Slight Smile,Warning Him,That,It,Probably,Wasn't going to do Anything.
Scooby stopped,For a Minute,To hear Louis Out.
Scooby Smiled as He heard Him.
"Well,It's Worth a Try,Right?" Scooby commented,as He Ignored Louis's Statement,And,went Back,To licking His Cheek,Over and Over Again.
"Ow," Louis whispered,Feeling a Slight Raise,In the Pain,as Scooby started licking Him,Again.
Scooby Stopped,Immediately,Hearing Him Say,"Ow."
"Sorry," Scooby apologized as He stopped licking Him,Lowering his Head,In Disappointment.
He wasn't,Just,Licking Him,To make It feel Better.
He was,Also,Licking Him,Cause,He was Glad,That,He was Safe.
He had Him Worried,Back There,When,He had seen Him get hit,By the Trailer.
But,Now,His Licks were hurting Him,More than Helping Him.
And,Figuring That Out,Wasn't making Scooby feel Any Less Guilty,For What Happened.
It was the Same for Shaggy.
He felt,Just as Guilty.
He may,Have been Mad at Louis.
But,That didn't mean,That,He didn't Care,About Him.
Louis put his Hand,On Scooby's Shoulder,Seeing,How Upset Scooby was.
"It's Okay,Big Guy," Louis reassured,as He Smiled,Slightly.
Scooby Smiled,Brightly,as He grabbed Louis's Face,And,Hugged It to Him.
"Ow,Scooby,That Hurts," Louis informed,In a Muffled Voice,as Scooby hugged his Face.
Scooby didn't hear a Thing,He was,Too Busy,Hugging Him,From All the Happiness,That,He was Feeling,At the Moment.
While,Scooby and Louis were talking,Shaggy was,Filling a Baggie,With a Bunch of Ice,From the Cooler,That,He had brought,With Them.
He watched Scooby hug Him,Tightly,as He Smiled,Slightly.
They're Relationship was a Little Cute,Shaggy thought,as He looked at Them.
Shaggy turned to the Bag of Ice,That,He had been Filling.
It was Full.
"Perfect," Shaggy murmured as He saw,That,The Bag was Full.
Shaggy stood Up,And,Walked Over to Louis,To give It to Him.
"Okay,SD,You can let Go,Now," Louis notified,Muffledly,Seeing,How Long,That,Scooby was Hugging Him,And,Starting to feel a Little Weirded Out,From How Long,He was hugging Him.
"Oh,Right," Scooby responded,Nervously,as He let Go of Him,Scratching the Back of his Neck,In Embarrassment.
"Here You Go,L," Shaggy offered as He held the Bag of Ice,To Louis's Cheek,Trying to help Him.
"Awwww,Shag,That feels Good," Louis stated,Letting Out a Sigh of Relief,as He felt,How Good the Ice felt,On his Cheek.
"It should,Like,It'll help your Jaw and Cheek feel a Little Better," Shaggy replied,Happily,as He held the Ice Bag,To Louis's Cheek.
"Well,It,Definitely Works," Louis warned,Contentedly,Glad,That,His Hurting Cheek and Jaw were,Starting to feel Better.
"Like,I'm,Uh,Sorry,For What Happened to You,Earlier," Shaggy mentioned,Apologizing,For What had Happened to Him.
"Shag,It's,It's Okay," Louis reassured,Trying to Reassure,Shaggy,That,He didn't have to be Sorry, as He Smiled,Slightly,From How Nice,Shaggy was being.
He liked Him,Like This.
He,Actually,Kind Of,Missed Him,When He Cared.
Louis wanted to be Close Friends,Again.
And,Maybe,One Day,They could.
But,First,Shaggy had to Forgive Him,For Whatever He did Wrong.
That was the Thing,That,Louis was,Still,Wondering.
What did He do Wrong?
"No,Seriously,You didn't deserve That," Shaggy Said,Trying to Eludicate,On,How Much,He Cared,About Him
Louis was,About to Say,"Thanks."
When,Scooby Interrupted Him.
"Aw,Shaggy,You're So Sweet," Scooby teased,Seeing,How Soft He was Acting,as He patted Shaggy's Head,Playfully.
Shaggy Chuckled,Slightly,as He heard Scooby start to tease Him.
Meanwhile.
In the Front Seat.
Fred,Daphne and Velma were,Now,Discussing,What had,Just Happened,Earlier.
"Those Poor People," Daphne mentioned,Feeling Bad for Granny Snaggletooth and the Townspeople,For What was Happening to Them.
Then,Before Fred could Say Anything.
Someone Else Answered.
"They can't help It,Their Fear is Very Reasonable," A Deep Voice announced,From the Shadows,Of the Back of the Mystery Machine.
"Huh," The Gang responded,In Unison,With a Surprising Tone,as They heard the Deep Voice Speak.
Fred slammed his Foot Down,On the Brake,Stopping the Mystery Machine,In Alarm,Wondering,Who was,In There,With Them.
As the Mystery Machine came to a Sudden Stop,The Man,In the Shadows,Screamed,as He fell to the Ground,Into the Light.
Revealing Himself to be...
"Ugly Jimmy," The Gang responded,In Unison,as They,Looked at Him,Surprised,That,He was,In There with Them.
Well,Most of Them were Surprised.
Daphne was More Happy,That,He was There.
"Hubba,Hubba," Daphne muttered as She looked at His Cute Face,So Glad,That,He was,In the Van,With Her.
"W-Why are You Here?" Fred questioned,In Curiosity,as He raised an Eyebrow.
"I want to Help,You Kids,Solve the Mystery of the Dark Lilith,And,Get Your Lucky Soccer Ball Back,I'll Guide You,Up Mount Diabla," Ugly Jimmy explained,Wanting to help Them,as He offered to Guide Them,Up the Mountain.
"But,Why?" Velma wondered,In Confusion,Wondering,Why He wanted to,Suddenly,Help Them.
"Yeah,Why?" Scooby repeated,For Fun,Wanting to Repeat,What She Said.
"I'm So Tired,Tired of,Living in Fear,Of That Horrible Hag," Jimmy eludicated,Telling Them,How Done,He was,With Dark Lilith.
"Granny Snaggletooth likes You,Too?" Scooby asked,In Confusion,Guessing,That,He was talking,About Granny Snaggletooth,Instead,Of Dark Lilith.
Louis Chuckled as He heard Scooby's Guess.
"No,No,The Lilith,She needs to Go Away,There's,Already Enough Fear,In Town,Thanks to My,Hideously,Ugly,And,Tragically Deformed Face," Jimmy replied,Firmly,Wanting Dark Lilith,Just as Bad,As They did,as He Expressed,How Much,He hated,How He Looked.
"Look,Jimmy,About the Whole Ugly Thing,You,Really Need to Know," Daphne tried to Inform,Trying to make Him,Not Hate his Looks,So Much.
Fred watched Jimmy,as He stared at Him,Through the Front Mirror,With Jealousy.
"We're Happy to Accept Your Help," Fred blurted Out,Interrupting Daphne,On Purpose,So,She couldn't tell Him,How Hot,She thought He was.
Daphne and Velma turned to Fred,In Confusion,Wondering Why,He,Just,Interrupted Her.
That Night.
On Mount Diabla.
Jimmy had,Already,Gotten the Gang,Past Scorpion Wells,And,Halfway Up,Mount Diabla.
Jimmy led the Gang,Up the Mountain,On a Straight Path Up,Carefully,With his Hiking Stick,In Hand.
The Gang walked Up,With Jimmy,In a Straight Line.
Well,Most of Them Did.
Everyone,Except for Louis.
Louis,Now,With a Band-Aid,On his Cheek,Sat on Scooby's Back,As Usual,Since,He couldn't bring his Wheelchair,Up the Mountain.
As The Gang were,Walking Up the Mountain,Behind Jimmy,Velma saw Something,On the Ground.
Velma stopped,Following Them,as She bent Down,To See What It was.
It was a Large Claw,From Dark Lilith's Hand.
It had Fallen Off,When She had Gone Down,To Attack Ethan and Gary.
Velma picked It Up,In Her Hands,as She blew the Dust,Off of It,To get a Better Look at It.
"Hmm,Interesting," Velma whispered to Herself,as She took Out Her Magnifying Glass,And,Looked Through It,To get a Closer Look at the Claw.
As She was,Looking at the Claw,Shaggy and Scooby passed Her,To Continue Up the Mountain.
The Two Boys came Up to a Ledge,That,They needed to get Over.
Shaggy decided to,Grab Onto a Branch,To Try and pull Himself Up.
However.
It wasn't the Best Idea.
Cause,The Moment,Shaggy tried to pull Himself Up,The Branch Snapped.
Shaggy Screamed,Seeing the Branch Break,Before Falling Down,Into Scooby,Making Him and Louis Fall,Too.
As Both Boys went,Rolling Down the Part of the Mountain,Screaming,Velma turned to Them,Watching Them,Tumbled Past Her,Back to the Previous Ledge,That,They had Climbed.
Shaggy hit his Head,On a Large Branch,Landing on his Back.
While,Scooby landed,On his Stomach,Laying Halfway Over the Edge,With Louis holding,Onto his Muzzle,To prevent Himself,From Falling.
"Ooh,Mountain Climbing Hurts," Scooby complained,as He hanged,Over the Ledge,Groaning.
"You're telling Me," Louis commented,In a Scared Tone,Hanging from Scooby's Muzzle,Really,Trying not to Fall.
Later On,That Night.
Jimmy and the Gang had arrived,At a Straight Path to the Summit.
As They walked,Through the Straight Path,Jimmy came to a Halt,Making the Others,Stop,Behind Him.
"There's the Summit," Jimmy announced,Pointing to the Summit,With his Walking Stick.
Fred and Daphne,Nodded in Agreement.
Jimmy turned Around,as He continued to Walk,Towards the Summit.
The Minute,That,Jimmy took Another Step.
The Ground,Suddenly,Began to Give Way.
Jimmy had,Stepped,On a Weak Part of the Mountain.
So,When,He stepped on It,It began to Break,From How Heavy He was.
Jimmy Screamed as He fell,Into the Large Gaping Hole in the Ground.
"Jimmy," Daphne called Out,Shaking,Feeling the Ground Rumble,as She saw Jimmy,Fall into the Hole.
The Ground continued to Break,as The Rest of the Gang Screamed.
One by One,The Gang started to fall,Into the Getting Bigger and Bigger Hole.
Fred and Daphne Screamed as They grabbed Each Other's Hands,Before,Falling into the Hole.
Velma tried to,Grab the Ledge,Before It was Too Late.
But,She Missed,as She fell,Into the Hole,Screaming.
"Guys," Louis shouted,Seeing The Four of Them,Fall into the Hole.
"Louis,Hang On," Scooby announced,as He felt the Ground,Beneath his Paws,Start to Shake.
Louis grabbed Scooby's Neck,Tightly,as Scooby and Louis Screamed,Before,Falling into the Hole,With the Others.
Leaving Only Shaggy.
Shaggy saw the Ledge.
As He tried to Reach for It.
Shaggy Jumped,Into the Air,Trying to make It,To the Ledge.
Which He did.
He made It to the Ledge,as He grabbed,Onto the Edge of It.
However.
His Hands,Quickly,Slipped off the Edge,as He fell,Into the Hole,With the Others,Screaming and All.
Shaggy fell,Into the Hole,Expecting to Die.
But,Instead,Hit the Ground,Already,Landing on his Knees.
Joining the Rest of the Gang,In the Dark Hole.
Proving,That,The Hole wasn't,That Deep.
Shaggy let Out a Sigh of Relief,as He realized,That,He was Alright.
"Boy,It sure is Dark,In Here," Fred stated as He got to his Feet,While,Looking Around.
"Hang On, I have a Lantern,Don't Worry," Jimmy reassured as He lit a Match,And,the Lantern,Before Standing Up,At Fred's Side,With a Smile.
Suddenly.
Someone,From the Shadows,Grabbed Jimmy,And,Tackled Him to the Ground,as He,Accidentally,Dropped the Lantern,To the Floor.
"Hey," Fred responded,as He walked,Past the Lantern,Into the Dark,To help Jimmy,Before,Jumping,Onto the Person.
"Jimmy," Daphne called Out,Seeing the Figure take Him,Into the Shadows,as She ran,Past the Lantern,Into the Dark,Too,To Help Him.
Scooby and Shaggy saw Her,Running into the Shadows,After the Person.
"Like,Daph,Wait Up," Shaggy requested,Seeing Her,Run into the Dark,To Help, as Him and Scooby ran,Past the Lantern,After Her,To Assist,As Well.
As Most of the Gang ran,Into the Dark,Trying to Attack the Person,Who was Attacking Jimmy,Velma walked,Over to the Lantern,So,She could see,What was going On.
Velma picked Up the Lantern,And,Held It Up,To the Ceiling,Shining Light,On the Gang,So,They could See,What They were doing.
When Velma shined the Light,On Them.
It revealed a Few Things.
Like,Scooby,Shaggy and Louis weren't,Attacking the Intruder.
They were,Attacking Each Other.
Scooby had his Foot,On Louis's Throat,Choking Him with His Foot,While,Louis was,Grasping Scooby's Foot,Trying to lift It Off,Thinking,That,The Intruder was Choking Him.
And,Shaggy had his Arm,Around Scooby's Neck,Trying to Choke Him,As Well,Thinking He was the Intruder.
Shaggy,Now,Being able to see Scooby,Saw,That,He was Choking Him,Not the Intruder.
"Like,Oops," Shaggy whispered as He let Go,And,Stepped Back,Blushing in Embarrassment.
Scooby looked Down,At Louis,Seeing,That,He was Choking Him,With his Foot.
"Louis,Oh My Gosh,I'm So Sorry," Scooby apologized,With a Concerned Look,as He took his Foot,Off Louis's Throat,And,Knelt Down,To See,If,He was Okay.
"Wow,Your,Uh,Your Foot is Strong," Louis complemented,as He held his Throat,Tightly,From the Pain,Sounding a Little Raspy,From,How Tight Scooby's Foot was Choking Him.
Velma moved the Lantern,To the Next Bunch
It was Daphne and Jimmy.
And,They weren't doing,Much Better.
Daphne was,Strangling Jimmy,While,Jimmy was,Trying to remove Her Arm,From,Around his Neck.
The Two,Both Stopped,Seeing the Lantern,as They turned to It.
Velma,Then,Turned to the Last Missing One,Fred.
Velma shined the Lantern,On Fred.
Revealing Him.
To,Actually,Have the Intruder.
It was a Woman.
Fred knelt Down,Behind the Woman,as He bent the Woman's Arms Back.
"Alright,Alright,You got,You got Me,I-I give Up," The Woman admitted,In an Angry Tone,as Fred got Her,To Her Feet.
You could,Really Tell,That,She did not want,To Admit,That,She was giving Up.
As Everyone was going,Back to Normal,Velma approached Fred and the Woman,To help Him,Interrogate,Her.
"Who are You? And,Why did You Attack Us?" Fred interrogated,Letting the Woman Go,as He put his Fists,On his Hips.
"Who am I?" The Woman repeated,In Confusion.
"Yes," Louis replied as Him,Scooby and Shaggy,Now,Back to Normal,Joined the Others,With Interrogating Her.
"Well,That's a Good Question,I-I-I,I call Myself Boron,Yeah,Because,I'm,Uh,Yeah,I Remember,I'm a Boron Miner,Yeah,Ha,Ha," Boron explained,Slowly,Trying to Remember,Who and What She Was,Having Quite,a Few Issues,as She Laughed,Nervously,When She finished.
"Okay,Well,Why did You Attack Us?" Louis asked,In Curiosity,Raising an Eyebrow.
"Oh,Don't Play Dumb,Don't Think,I don't Know,You're Up Here,To Steal My Man,Hmmph,Stay Where You are,Honey,I got These Punks Covered," Boron eludicated,as She accused Them,Of Trying to steal Her Man,Pointing to Them,Aggressively,Putting On her Serious Face,And,Getting in Front of Them,as She Shielded Her Supposed Husband.
"Oh,Really,Well,Where is He?" Louis wondered,Happily,Happy,That,The Woman wasn't Alone,Up There.
Velma lifted the Lantern,Higher,Lighting Up,Where Her Husband Was.
Revealing It to be.
Just the Team's Lucky Soccer Ball,With a Painted Face,A Hat and a Trench Coat.
"The Lucky Soccer Ball," Fred announced,Excitedly,as He saw the Soccer Ball.
Fred approached Her Supposed Husband,Trying to take It.
So,He could give It,Back to Ethan and Gary.
Daphne walked,After Him,Trying to Stop Him.
"You can't take Him,He's the Only Man,Who Ever Loved Me,He feels My Pain," Boron warned,In a Sad Tone,as She took the Soccer Ball,And,Grasped It,Tightly,In Her Arms,About to Cry.
"Don't Worry,Nobody's taking Anything," Daphne reassured,Firmly,Trying to keep the Woman Calm and Happy.
"Uh,Daph," Louis informed,Pointing to Fred,Who was,Trying to take the Lucky Soccer Ball,From Her.
Fred reached Out,For the Ball.
While,Boron was,Pushing Him Away,From the Ball,Trying to keep Him Away,From It.
So,He wouldn't take It.
"Fred," Daphne called,Angrily,Seeing Him,Trying to take It.
Fred turned to Daphne,Hearing his Name.
Daphne motioned,For Him,To Walk Back to Her,Firmly.
Fred lowered his Head,In Disappointment,as He walked,Back over to Daphne.
Fred turned to Daphne,And,Smiled,Slightly.
Daphne rolled Her Eyes,At Him,as She turned Back to Boron.
"Now,Miss Boron," Daphne tried to Say,Nicely.
"Oh,Please,Call Me,Boron," Boron requested,Happily,as She held the Soccer Ball,In Her Arms.
"Okay,Boron,Why did You Attack Scorpion Wells?" Daphne mentioned.
Velma was,About to Say Something
When Scooby Interrupted Her,Saying,The Exact Thing,That,She was going to Say.
"And,Where's Your Crazy Flying Demon Woman Costume?" Scooby questioned,In Confusion.
"Demon Woman? That's Not Me," Boron notified,In a Soft Tone.
"It's Not?" Scooby and Louis responded,At the Same Time,In Surprise.
"That is the Dark Lilith,She's," Boron pointed Out,as She started to Explain,Before Hearing Something.
Boron looked to Her Side.
"Uh,Like,Miss Boron," Shaggy called.
"Ms Boron,Are You Okay?" Louis asked,In Concern.
"Evil!!!!!!" Boron shouted as She pointed to the Hole,That,The Gang had Come From.
That was When.
Dark Lilith flew Down,Into the Hole,as She landed,On the Ground,On Her Feet.
The Gang Gasped,In Shock,as They saw Her Land.
Dark Lilith Snarled,While,Looking at Them,as She began to Approach Them.
"It's Her,Evil Girl lives,On his Boat," Boron added,Out Loud,To the Gang.
"His Boat? Who's Boat?" Louis repeated,Hearing Her Statement,And,Asking Who's Boat,That,She was talking About.
"The Mountain Boat," Boron replied,Firmly,as She grasped Her Husband,Tightly,In Fear.
"Quiet,Old Woman," Dark Lilith commanded,Furiously,as She continued to Approach Them.
"Not gonna Happen,Demon Lady," Scooby retorted,With a Confident Smile.
"Ooh,Good One,SD," Louis Congratulated.
"Thank You," Scooby thanked,Happily.
Dark Lilith Growled as She lifted Her Wings,And,Flew Up,Slightly.
"Since My Warnings went Un-Heeded,Now,Your Lives shall be Deleted," Dark Lilith shouted,as She flew Up,At Them,Screeching,Loudly.
The Gang Screamed,In Unison,as They saw Her,Flying towards Them.
"Run," Fred ordered,Quickly,as He took Off,Running,With the Gang,Jimmy and Boron,Following Close Behind.
Dark Lilith flew,Towards One of the Support Beams,as She yanked It Off,The Wall.
The Mine,Itself,began to Rumble,as She pulled It Out.
Dark Lilith grabbed the Broken Support Beam,And,Flew with It, as She flew It,Into Another One.
She flew It,Into One of the Top,Support Beams,Breaking the Top,Support Beam,as She continued to Fly with the Yanked Support Beam.
As She was,Breaking Each Support Beam,One by One,The Gang ran,Through the Mine,Running,Towards the Exit,As Fast as They Could,With Boron and Jimmy,Right Behind Them.
Dark Lilith Screeched,Into the Air,as She flew,To Another Support Beam,And,Pulled It Off the Wall,Making the Walls,Around Her start to Cave In.
Dark Lilith Shrieked,Out Loud,as She flew Up,Into the Air,Towards the Exit,Herself.
Trying to get Out of There,Before the Mine,Completely,Caved In.
"Come On,This Way," Boron demanded,Firmly,as She led The Gang,To the Mine's Exit.
The Gang,Boron and Jimmy,All Screamed,At Once,As All Eight of Them,Ran Out the Mine Exit,Just in Time,as The Mine,Behind Them,Continued to Fall Apart.
The Eight,Still,Continued to Run,Trying to get,As Far Away,From Dark Lilith as Possible.
However.
Boron wasn't Paying Attention.
So.
As She continued to Run,She ended Up,Tripping Over a Rock,Dropping Her Soccer Ball Husband.
The Ball bounced,Out of Her Arms,And,Over the Ledge of the Mountain.
"Honey," Boron called Out,Reaching Out to the Soccer Ball,as She saw the Ball,Roll Over the Ledge,Losing It,Forever.
The Gang and Jimmy,Continued to Run,Still,Trying to get Away,From the Lilith.
Dark Lilith Screeched,as She flew Out,The Mine Exit,Just,Before the Mine,Collapsed.
Dark Lilith flew Out of the Mine,Into the Sky,as She flew,Towards Louis,Shaggy and Scooby,Getting Ready to Attack Them.
Shaggy looked,Behind Him,Hearing Her Screeches,as He continued to Run,With Scooby,At his Side.
"Yikes," Shaggy shouted as He saw Dark Lilith,Flying after Them.
"She's,Still,After Us," Louis announced,Seeing Her,Fly Towards Them.
"Gee,You Think?" Scooby responded,Angrily.
Jimmy saw Shaggy,Scooby and Louis,In Trouble.
"Oh No," Jimmy mumbled as He saw Them,In Trouble,And,Ran Over to Help Them.
"Jimmy,No," Daphne called,Trying to Stop,Jimmy,Before He could get Hurt.
But,Fred stopped Her,By Holding Her Back.
Scooby and Shaggy skidded to a Stop,As They saw,That,They were Out of Places to Run,They were at the Edge,Of the Mountain.
If They Ran,Any Further,They would Fall Down,The Mountain.
"Ah,Shoot,We're Out of Places to Go," Louis warned,Seeing Them,At the Edge.
"Don't Worry,We,Uh,We got This," Scooby reassured,Fearfully,Trying to keep Louis Calm,as He set Louis,Down,Behind Him.
"We Do?" Shaggy questioned,In Confusion,Not Seeing,How They had This.
Scooby turned to Shaggy,With An Angry Look,Telling Him,That,He wasn't Helping.
"Oops," Shaggy murmured,Realizing,What Scooby was Saying.
Dark Lilith flew,Towards The Three,Screeching at Them,About to Attack.
"Hey,If You want Louis,You'll have to get,Through Me,First," Scooby informed,Shouting at Dark Lilith,as He stood,In Front of Louis,Trying to protect Him.
Louis Gulped,In Concern,For his Buddy,as He grasped,Scooby's Leg,And,Buried his Face,In Scooby's Foot.
Dark Lilith was,Still,Charging Them,Not Caring,That,He was protecting Him,And,Flying,Straight,To Them.
"No,You aren't hurting My Friends," Jimmy Shouted,To Dark Lilith as He tackled Her.
Jimmy and Dark Lilith fought,Both,Trying to Win.
As They fought,Both of Them,Rolled Off the Cliff,Looking like,They were going to fall Down,The Mountain.
But.
Dark Lilith grabbed Jimmy,In her Arms,And,Dropped Him,as She flew Up,Into the Air,Saving Herself.
But,Dropping Jimmy,From the High Rise.
Jimmy Screamed,as He fell From the Sky.
Hitting his Head,On Every Ledge,And,Rock,as He fell Down,The Mountain.
Dark Lilith,Still,In the Air,Smiled as She Chuckled,While,Watching Him,Tumble Down the Mountain,Screaming.
Dark Lilith turned to,Where the Gang,Used to Be,Getting Ready to Attack Them.
However.
There was No One There.
Everyone was Gone.
Dark Lilith Gasped,Not Seeing Them,There,as She flew,Over to Where They Were.
Dark Lilith looked,From Side to Side,Looking for Them.
But,She didn't Find,Or,Hear Anything.
She looked at the Blocked Mine Entrance,And,Found Nothing.
She turned to a Large Rock,And,She found Nothing.
She,Even,Turned to,Where Three Cactus's Stood,And,Still,Found Nothing.
Dark Lilith Screeched,In Anger,Realizing,That,They were Gone,as She flew Off,Back,Towards the Top of the Mountain,Disappearing.
The Gang,Now,Knowing,That,She was Gone,Started to Come Out of Their Hiding Places.
Each had Found a Good One.
Scooby,Louis and Shaggy were,Behind the Three Cactus's,In the Exact Positions of Them.
Boron hid,Behind the Large Rock.
And,Fred,Daphne and Velma hid,Behind Some of the Rocks,In Mine Entrance.
Boron and the Gang,Each walked Out,Of Their Hiding Places,as They watched Dark Lilith Fly Away,Out of Sight.
"Poor Jimmy,He saved Us," Daphne stated,Feeling Bad for Jimmy.
"He didn't deserve That," Louis added,In a Sad Tone,Feeling Bad,For Him,Too.
Scooby Whimpered,Sadly,as He laid his Head,On Louis's Arm,Also,Feeling Bad for Him.
While,The Gang were Talking,Velma stood,A Little Farther Away,From the Rest of Them,Looking Up to the Sky.
Velma Sniffed the Air,Before,Realizing Something,Interesting.
"Weird,There's a Smell,Up Here,That,Reminds Me Of," Velma murmured to Herself,as She sniffed the Air,Trying to Remember,What the Smell was,That,She was Smelling.
"Like,I think,We can All Agree,That,Jimmy didn't deserve That," Shaggy commented,Agreeing with the Rest of the Gang,That,Jimmy didn't deserve,What,Just Happened.
"I don't Know,About You Guys,But,I don't think,Ugly Jimmy's Bravery should Go to Waste," Velma mentioned,Trying to get the Show,On the Road,She wanted to Finish This,And,Avenge Ugly Jimmy.
"I Agree,With You,Velma," Scooby informed,Telling Her,That,He Agreed with Her,as He put his Paw,On Her Shoulder.
Velma turned to Him,And,Smiled,Glad to Know,That,Someone agreed with Her.
"Ms. Boron,Could You lead Us to Where Dark Lilith lives?" Louis asked,In Curiosity,Wondering if She Knew,The Way,Up the Mountain,Too.
"We have to find Her,And,Stop Her,For Jimmy,Please," Daphne pleaded,With a Sad Tone,Missing Jimmy,Already,Trying to get Boron to help Them.
Boron nodded,In Agreement,as She put on Her Game Face.
"Follow Me," Boron ordered,Firmly.
The Gang followed Boron,Up the Mountain,Throughout the Entire Night.
By Dawn,They had,Finally,Made It to the Top of the Mountain.
"Is This It?" Daphne questioned,as Her and the Gang continued to Follow Boron,To the Edge of the Mountain's Peak.
"Yep,Yonder She Lives,In This Boat," Boron shouted,as She pointed to the Edge of the Peak,Where a Very Old Boat,Sat,In Between Both Sides of the Peak.
"Wow,Now,That is a Mystery," Fred announced as He looked at the Rickety Old Boat,As It sat There,On the Mountain,Pointing Upwards,Up to the Sky.
As The Gang continued to look at It,They stood,Speechless,While,Standing at the Edge of the Peak.
This was the Strangest Thing,That,They had,Ever Seen.
They didn't Know,What to Say.
Of Course,That,Quickly Changed.
"Whoa," Louis whispered as He continued to look at the Old Ship.
"That is So Cool," Scooby commented,as He looked at It,Too,While,Smiling,Excitedly.
"Hey,Gang,Is That?" Daphne tried to Ask,Curiously,Before Velma interrupted Her.
"An Old Spanish Galleon," Velma finished,Instantly,Interrupting Daphne,as She announced,What It Was.
"But,Like,What's It doing,On Top of a Mountain?" Shaggy wondered,In Confusion,Not getting,Why the Ship was There.
"I have No Idea," Louis added,In a Confused Tone.
"Hey,Boron,Do You Know Why?" Daphne asked,Asking,If She knew,Why It was There.
However.
When They turned Back,To Where She had Been.
They saw Nothing.
They saw,No Sign of Her.
Like,She had never Existed,In the First Place.
"Boron," Louis called,Looking for Any Sight of Her.
"Come On,Gang,Let's Check It Out," Fred commanded,Leaving the Boron Situation,Alone,And,Going Straight for the Ship.
Daphne,Velma and Shaggy Followed,After Him,Leaving the Situation,Alone,As Well.
But,Louis didn't want to leave It,Alone.
He wanted to make Sense of,What had,Just Happened .
To get to the Bottom of It.
But,He knew,That,It wasn't going to Happen.
Louis stared at,Where Boron used to Be, as He took a Long Deep Sigh,In Disappointment.
"You Ready to Go?" Scooby mentioned,Turning to his Buddy,Waiting for Him to be Ready,Before He Followed.
"Yeah,Yeah,I'm Ready," Louis agreed,as He,Still,Stared at Where She had been,While,He talked.
"Alright," Scooby murmured as He turned to,Where Fred and the Others were going,And,Went After Them.
While,The Gang were boarding the Boat,Dark Lilith watched,From Afar,Silently,Narrowing Her Eyes,At Them,As She watched.
On the Ship.
The Gang took a Look Around,On the Top Deck,Looking for Any Sort of Clues,To Dark Lilith.
"How,In the World, Did a Ship get All the Way,Up Here?" Daphne questioned,In Confusion,as She looked Around,With the Rest of the Gang.
"Maybe,This can tell Us," Velma Said,From Inside,The Ships's Mapping Room.
The Gang,All turned to the Direction of Her Talking,In Alarm.
"What did You Find,Vel?" Louis wondered,Happily,Happy,That,She had Already Found Something.
"Yeah,What did You find,Vel?" Scooby repeated,Also Wondering,What She had Found.
"It's the Ship's Manifest," Velma replied as She walked Out of the Mapping Room,Back,Onto the Deck.
She walked,Over to One of the Ships's Cannons,And,Set the Book Down,On It.
The Gang gathered,Around Her,as She set the Book Down,On the Cannon,Preparing for Her to Read.
"Like,Why am I,Suddenly,So Nervous?" Shaggy commented,Fearfully,Worried,On,What They were going to Find,as He stood,Next to the Rest of the Gang,as They surrounded Velma.
"Hmm,The Writing's inEspaƱol,But,I aced Honors Spanish,I can Translate," Velma explained as She looked at the Manifest's Language.
"Ooh,Ooh,Could I Translate It,Vel,Could I Translate It?" Louis asked,Politely,Raising his Hand,Wanting to Translate It,as He sat,On Scooby's Back.
Velma Smiled at Him,as She saw,How Excited He was to Translate It,The Writing.
"Sure," Velma agreed,With a Smile,as She stepped Away,From the Book,Walking Over,Next to Shaggy,So,Louis could Translate.
"Yes," Louis cheered,Quietly,Excited to Start Translating,as Scooby walked Over to the Book.
Scooby picked Louis Up,By his Arms,as He lifted Louis Up,So,He could Start.
"Thanks," Louis thanked,as He saw Scooby,Pick Him Up.
"Your Welcome," Scooby answered,With a Smile.
Scooby motioned for Louis,To Start,Telling Him,That,They were All,Ready to hear It,Especially Him.
Cause,He,Always,Paid Attention to Louis,When He talked.
Louis Cleared his Throat,Slightly,as He began to Read.
"I Fear,I May,Have Doomed Us All,After Months of Filling Our Hold,With All Manner of Treasure,We were,About to Set Sail,When Word was Delivered of,An,Even Greater Prize,A Sarcophagus of the Purest Crystal,Filled to the Brim,With Black Pearls of Immense Value,A King's Ransom," Louis read,Out Loud,as He looked at the Book,Closely,Slowly,Translating It.
"A Crystal Sarcophagus?" Scooby repeated,In Surprise.
"Yep,That's What It Says,Here," Louis replied,Pointing to the Part,Where It Said It.
Velma Cleared Her Throat,Reminding Them,That,They were Waiting.
"Um,Continue," Velma reminded,Firmly.
"Right," Louis responded,Happily.
"Sorry," Scooby apologized,Lowering his Ears,Apologetically.
Louis Smiled,Slightly,as He patted Scooby's Head,To make Him,Feel Better,Before Continuing to Translate.
"The Men and I were,Quickly,Overtaken,With a Strange Desire,To find This Great Treasure,And,After Several Months of Searching,Find It,We Did,What We didn't Realize was,That,The Entity,That Dwelled,Inside the Crystal Sarcophagus,Had Been,Searching for Us,As Well,In Our Thirst,For Power and Wealth,We had,Discovered a Terrible Evil,It Preyed,Upon Our Fears,Driving Us to Commit Horrible Acts,Just,To get It to Stop,Finally,In an Act of Desperation,To Stop,What We had Become,I set the Ship,Ashore,On the Mission Coast,In a Cove,We named After,What We would,Soon,Bring There,Crystal Cove," Louis continued,as He continued to Translate the Writing,That,He was Seeing,In the Ship's Manifest.
"Zoinks,Ha,Ha,Like,That Means," Shaggy started to Say,Before Fred,Interrupted Him.
"These are the Conquistadors,That,Founded Our Town," Fred mentioned,In Shock.
"The Ones,Who Disappeared," Daphne added,In Fear.
"You Know,What This Means,Right?" Velma asked,In Curiosity.
Louis's Eyes Widened as He came to a Terrifying Realization.
"Yeah,It Means,That,Crystal Cove is Named,After a Strange Sarcophagus,That,These Guys brought,Into Town," Louis announced,In Surprise,as He turned to Scooby,Giving Him a Look of Concern.
Scooby Gulped,as He heard,Everything,That,The Gang were Saying.
"I'm not Sure,I like,This Story," Scooby warned as He,Squeezed Louis,Tightly,To Him.
"Yeah,Like,I'm with Scoob,I'm not Sure,I want to hear Any More," Shaggy informed,as He clinged to Velma,Shaking,With Fear.
"We have to Shaggy,This could bring Clues,To What is Going On,In Town,Go On,Louis," Fred requested,Reminding Shaggy,That,They needed to Solve the Mystery,At All Costs,Before Requesting Louis to Finish Translating.
Louis Nodded,In Agreement as He turned Back,To the Ship's Manifest,To Finish Translating.
"I used the Arcanical Disc,The Planisferico,To Map Our Location,And,We buried the Evil Treasure,Deep,Deep Underground,Then,We broke the Disc,Into Six Pieces,And,Went Our Separate Ways,I concealed My Piece,Aboard the Ship,And,Artfully protected It,By a Large Number of Lethal Mechanical Devices,I brought the Ship,Here,To the Top of This Mountain,To Stay Hidden,Forever," Louis finished,as He,Finally,Finished Translating the Entry.
"Is That It?" Scooby asked,In Curiosity.
"Yep,It Says,That,It's Signed by Fernando El Aguirre,Captain of the Santa Lucia,Of Spain," Louis added,as He closed the Book,After Announcing the Person,Who wrote It.
"Jeepers,You Know What This Means?" Daphne mentioned,Realizing Something
"Uh,No,What?" Louis wondered as Scooby set Louis,Back Down,On his Back.
"The Fifth Piece of the Planispheric Disc is,Right Here,On This Ship," Daphne pointed Out,Reminding Them,About What Aguirre Said.
"Then,Let's find It,And,Get Out of Here,Before,That,Crazy Chick shows Up,Again," Shaggy suggested as He turned Away,From the Others,And,Headed towards the Hole,In the Middle of the Deck,Not Wanting to Run,Into Dark Lilith,Again.
"Yeah," Scooby agreed as He followed Shaggy,To the Floor Door,Below Deck,With Louis,On His Back.
"Hold On," Fred shouted,as He ran,In Front of Shaggy,Stopping Him,From going Any Further.
"What is It,Fred?" Velma questioned,Raising an Eyebrow,Wondering What He was Complaining about,Now.
"My Trappy Sense is Tingling," Fred replied,Firmly,as He took a Quarter,Out of his Pocket,And,Knelt Down,At the Edge of the Door,Below Deck.
Fred dropped the Quarter,Into the Door Way,as It fell Down,Into the Dark,Falling,Onto the Floor,Inside.
Fred,Scooby,Louis and Shaggy watched as the Quarter fell,Into the Ship's Deck.
Suddenly.
A Large Metal Claw shot Out of the Dark,Towards the Gang.
Fred,Louis,Scooby and Shaggy Screamed as Scooby,Fred and Shaggy,Jumped Back,In Surprise,Seeing the Metal Claw come Out,Of the Hole.
"Yikes,Good Thing,That wasn't Us," Louis commented,In Relief.
"Like,Yeah,Good Thing,Hoo Hoo," Shaggy repeated,Chuckling,Nervously,as He tried to Stay Calm.
"Just as I thought,This Place is Booby-Trapped,Out the Wazoo," Fred Said,Firmly,as He put his Fists,On his Hips.
"How do We Know,Where to Look?" Scooby questioned,In Concern,Really,Wanting,To,Just get the Piece,And,Get Out of There,Immediately.
"Easy,Scoob,The Traps,Themselves,Will lead Us,Right to It,Don't Worry,I was Born for This," Fred answered,Confidently,as He reassured Them,That,They had No Reason,To Fear,Standing Proudly.
"Uh,Worries,Right Here," Scooby responded,With Worry,That,They weren't going to make It.
"Don't Worry,SD,We're gonna Make It,I'll make Sure of It," Louis reassured,as He softed Scooby's Head,Trying to make Him feel Better.
Scooby Smiled,as He felt Much Better,Already.
Doing All This,With his Best Friend,Made It,All the More,Worth While.
"Alright,Guys,Follow Me," Fred commanded as He walked Over,To the Door,And,Marched Down the Stairs,Carefully.
"Come On,Guys," Daphne ordered,Firmly,as She walked Down the Stairs,After Fred.
Velma and Shaggy Sighed as They followed Daphne and Fred,Down the Steps.
Following Both of Their Lead,On This.
"Hang On,Lou," Scooby requested,Telling Louis,To hang On,So,He wouldn't get Hurt,While,He climbed Down,The Stairs.
Louis grasped,Onto Scooby's Neck,Tightly,as Scooby walked Down the Stairs,Cautiously,Trying to be as Careful,As Possible.
Fred and the Gang walked Down the Steps,Into the Darkness,as They entered the Lower Deck.
Fred led the Gang down the Stairs,Towards a Doorway,On Their Left.
Fred stopped,At the Doorway,Trying to take This,Slowly and Carefully.
Daphne,Velma,Louis,Scooby and Shaggy stopped,When Fred stopped,Waiting for Him,To give Them the A-Okay.
Fred got Down,On his Knees to check the Floor,For More Traps.
Louis and Scooby looked at Each Other,With Concern,Hoping,That,Their Friend wasn't going to get Hurt,By doing Something Crazy.
As Fred was Knelt,On the Ground,He saw a Small Rope,In Front of Him.
"Hmm," Fred mumbled to Himself,as He grabbed a Stick,And,Used It to lift the Rope,Gently,To test It.
When the Stick lifted the Rope,Large Spikes shot Out of the Floor,In Front of Them.
"Boy,Am I Glad,You're Here?" Louis commented as Him and the Rest of the Gang,Witnessed the Spikes shoot Out,Of the Floor.
Fred Smiled,Happily,as He heard Louis's Comment.
"Step Over the Rope,And,Follow Me," Fred whispered,Slightly,Just Loud Enough,For the Gang,To hear Him,as He walked,Across the Floor,Into the Next Room.
The Gang did,Exactly,What He Said,And,Followed Him,To the Next Room.
Fred opened the Door,To One of the Rooms,Slightly.
However.
He Stopped,Instantly,When He saw It connected to Another Rope.
Fred Gasped as He saw,Three Swords,Flying,Towards his Head.
Fred shut the Door,Immediately,Making the Flying Swords,Fly,Right,Into the Door,Itself.
Barely Missing Him.
Fred left the Rest of the Rooms,Alone,And,Continued Deeper,Into the Ship.
Fred stopped,At Another Doorway,With the Gang,Still,Behind Him.
The Gang had decided,To Stay,Behind Him,Cause,He knew,More than They did,About Traps,And,They trusted Him.
"What is It,Now?" Velma questioned,In Concern,Wondering Why He Stopped.
Fred knocked,Slightly,On the Wall,In Front of the Door Way.
That was When.
They heard a Loud Whirring Sound,Coming Straight at Them.
All Six of Them turned Around,In Alarm,as They saw a Robot,Full of Saws,Rolling towards Them.
"Drop to the Floor," Fred demanded,Firmly,as He dropped to the Floor.
Daphne,Shaggy,Velma and Scooby dropped to the Floor,As Well,Listening to his Order,Without Hesitation.
The Robot full of Saws,Rolled,Right past Them,Like,They weren't,Even There.
Fred and the Gang turned,To the Rolling Away Robot,Making Sure,That,It wasn't going to Come Back.
Fred led the Gang,To the End of the Lower Deck,Where a Room Was.
Fred opened the Door,To the Room,Carefully.
Revealing the Room,To have...
A Large Locked Cabinet,In the Middle of the Room.
" The Piece must be in There," Daphne announced,as She looked at the Large Bronze Cabinet,From,Behind Fred.
"As Far as I can tell,It's Clean," Fred warned as He walked,Into the Room,Slowly,And,Cautiously.
Scooby walked,Into the Room,After Him,Sniffing the Floor,To make Sure,That,There was No More Traps.
Shaggy,Daphne and Velma followed the Other Two,Into the Room,Also,Being Quite Careful.
Fred walked,Over to the Large Cabinet,About to Open It.
When.
The Gang saw the Shadow,Of a Horned Thing,Enter the Room.
Fred and the Gang turned Around,In Surprise as They Gasped.
It was Dark Lilith.
She Screeched as She flew,Towards the Cabinet,Avoiding Velma,Louis and Scooby.
Daphne and Shaggy Screamed as They fell to the Floor,Trying to Stay Out of Her Way.
Dark Lilith Screeched,Once Again,as She flew,To the Cabinet,Smacking Fred,To the Ground,Making Sure,He was Out of Her Way.
Dark Lilith Snarled as She Smashed the Cabinet to Pieces.
Revealing the Piece of the Planispheric Disc,To be Inside.
Dark Lilith Screeched,Once More,In Victory,as She stared,At the Piece.
She picked Up the Piece,In Her Hands,as She held It,To the Sky,In Triumph.
"Many Thanks for All of Your Time,But,I take This,Now,As It is Mine," Dark Lilith announced,Happily,as She held the Piece,In Her Hands,Contentedly.
Dark Lilith flew,Towards the Door,To Escape.
However.
As She was Flying Out,Scooby stood,In Front of Her.
"Uh Oh," Scooby whispered,Seeing Her,Flying towards Him.
"Duck," Louis commanded as He pushed,On Scooby's Back,Pushing Scooby to the Ground,Making Him Duck,Just in Time.
As She was Flying Out the Door,She ended Up,Tripping Over Louis and Scooby,Since,They had,Just Ducked.
Dark Lilith Grunted as She tripped Over Them,Falling to the Ground,Landing on Her Face.
Dropping the Piece,To the Floor,As Well,as It slid,Across the Floor,Stopping a Few Feet,In Front of Her.
Dark Lilith was,About to get Up,To grab It.
When Velma jumped,On Top of Her,Stopping Her,From getting Up to grab It.
"Hurry,Get the Piece," Velma hurried as She laid,On Dark Lilith,Trying to hold Her Off,As Long as She Could.
Fred nodded,In Agreement as He ran,Out the Door,To the Piece.
Fred grabbed the Planispheric Disc Piece,In his Hands,as He took Off,Running,Back towards the Upper Deck.
Dark Lilith Hissed,In Frustration,as She threw Velma Off,And,Jumped Up,Back onto Her Feet.
Velma Screamed as She fell off of Dark Lilith,Onto the Hard Wood Floor.
"Get Back Here," Dark Lilith demanded as She took Off,Flying after Him.
Scooby ran,Over to Velma,With Louis,Still,On his Back.
"Vel,Are You Okay?" Louis and Scooby asked,In Unison,Both Concerned for Her.
"Yeah,I'm Good," Velma answered,Softly.
Scooby and Louis,Both let Out,a Sigh of Relief,At the Exact Same Time.
"Now,Come On,We have to help Fred," Velma ordered,as She got Back,Onto her Feet,And,Took off,After Dark Lilith.
"Right,Let's Go,SD," Louis agreed,as He requested,For Scooby to Go,So,They could Help,Too.
Scooby nodded,In Agreement,as He ran,After Velma and the Other Two,With Daphne and Shaggy,Right behind Him.
At the Same Time.
Fred ran,Up the Lower Deck Stairs,Back Up to the Upper Deck.
Fred stopped at the Upper Deck Stairs,Seeing,That,There were More.
"Oh,I don't have Time for This," Fred complained as He jumped,Over the Upper Deck Stairs,Falling onto the Main Deck Floor,Rolling,Into the Side of the Ship.
Fred Jumped,Back Up,To his Feet,as He continued to Run,Trying to get Off the Ship,To keep the Piece Safe.
Suddenly.
Dark Lilith's Hand burst,Through the Floor,And,Grabbed Fred's Ankle.
Fred Screamed as He fell to the Ground,Once Again,Landing on his Back,With the Piece,Still,In Hand.
The Gang emerged,From the Lower Deck,And,Marched Down the Main Deck Stairs,Quickly.
The Gang turned to Fred,As They saw Fred,Laying on the Floor,On his Back.
"Fred,No," Louis called Out,In Worry,as He saw Him,Laying on the Floor.
Dark Lilith flew,Through the Ceiling,Of the Lower Deck,Into the Main Deck Floor,Flying Out,Into the Sky.
Fred heard Her Fly Through the Floor,as He got Back Up.
"Run,Freddy," Daphne shouted,Trying to Warn Fred,To Run,Before He got Hurt.
Fred heard Daphne's Shouts,And,Immediately,Started Running,Again,Trying to Run Away,From Dark Lilith.
Dark Lilith Screeched,Furiously,as She flew,Towards Fred,As Fast as She could Go
Dark Lilith grabbed Fred,By his Shoulders,Picking Him Up,By Them.
As She threw Him,Through the Air,Into the Mast of the Ship.
Fred fell to the Ground,Landing on his Stomach,With the Piece,In his Hands,Up for Grabs.
Dark Lilith,Quickly,Grabbed the Piece,From his Hands,And,Ran Across the Ship,as She jumped,Onto the Ship's Edge.
Dark Lilith Laughed,Wickedly,as She held the Piece of the Planispheric Disc,Into the Air,Happy to have Won.
"Oh No,You don't," Velma murmured as She grabbed a Large Rope,That,Sat on the Ship's Floor,And,Ran towards Dark Lilith.
Dark Lilith lowered the Piece,And,Got Ready to take Off.
She jumped,Into the Air,Opening Her Wings,About to Fly Off.
Velma lifted the Rope,In Her Hands,And,Waved It Around,In a Circular Motion.
As She stopped,the End of the Rope,Flew,Through the Air,Quickly,Wrapping Around Dark Lilith's Waist.
Dark Lilith flew,In the Sky,Still,Laughing,Thinking,She had Won.
Velma ran,To the Other End of the Rope,as She picked It Up,In Her Hands.
Velma ran,Over to the Mast,And,Tied the Other End of the Rope,To the Mast,Stopping Dark Lilith,From Going Anywhere.
Velma and Fred,Both grabbed,Onto the Other End of the Rope,as They grasped It,Tightly.
The Farther,Dark Lilith flew,The More of the Rope,Flew with Her.
That was When.
Dark Lilith used,The Last of the Free Rope,She had.
Dark Lilith forced to a Stop,Reaching the End of Her Rope,as She Grunted,Trying to Go Further.
Velma and Fred,Both Grunted as They Struggled to hold Her,While,Still,Trying.
"Yes,We got Her," Louis Cheered,Excitedly.
Suddenly.
The Ship Slid,Slightly,Towards the Edge of the Summit.
Daphne,Shaggy,Louis and Scooby felt It,Slide,Slightly,as the Ship Rumbled.
"Ah,Shoot," Louis mumbled,In Irritation,as He felt the Ship Slide,Slightly.
Dark Lilith Screeched,With Anger,as She continued to Pull the Ship,Over the Edge,Unintentionally,While,Trying to Escape.
All of Mystery Incorporated Screamed as They felt the Ship Move,Towards the Edge of the Mountain.
The More,Dark Lilith Pulled,The Closer,The Ship came to the Edge.
Dark Lilith Pulled and Pulled,Trying to Free Herself.
But,It wasn't Working.
Dark Lilith Growled,In Frustration,as She continued to Try.
The Ship turned Itself Around,as Dark Lilith continued to Pull.
Dark Lilith heard It Rumbling,as She stopped Pulling,To See,What It Was.
The Ship was,At the Way Edge of the Summit,About to Tip Over.
And,That was,Exactly,What It did Next.
The Ship started to Tip Over,To Start Rolling Down the Mountain.
"Like,Zoinks," Shaggy Shouted,Feeling the Ship start to Tip Over.
Fred and Velma,Still,Holding On to the End of the Rope,Tied to the Mast,Felt It Start to Tip Over,As Well.
"Hold On,Gang," Fred ordered,Feeling It Start to Go Over the Mountain.
Shaggy and Daphne Screamed as They leaned,Against the Wall of the Ship's Main Deck,Trying to keep Themselves,From Falling off the Ship.
Louis Grasped Scooby's Neck,as He felt the Boat,Tip Over the Edge.
"Uh Oh," Scooby announced as He saw the Ship,Start to Slide Downwards.
The Whole Gang Screamed,All At Once,As They felt the Ship Slide,Down the Edge of the Summit,Towards the Bottom of the Mountain.
Dark Lilith turned to the Sliding Down Boat,as She saw It Sliding.
Suddenly.
Dark Lilith hit the End of Her Free Rope,Once Again,as It pulled Her,Towards the Sliding Down Ship,Pulling Her Down with It.
Dark Lilith Screamed and Screeched as It started to take Her,With It.
The Ship moved,From Side to Side,As It Slid Down,All Out of Control,With the Gang and Dark Lilith,Inside Screaming.
Dark Lilith tried to Fly Away,Again,But the Ship pulled Her to the Side.
Making Her Ram,Into the Side of the Mountain,as It continued to Slide Down.
Dark Lilith Screamed and Screamed,As She hit the Side of the Mountain,Multiple Times,Before It pulled Her,Towards the Rolling Down Ship,Again.
Shaggy and Daphne Both,Still,Screaming,Grasped the Doorknob,To the Inside of the Ship,Tightly,Trying to Hang On as It Went Down.
The Ship bumped Up,Onto a Large Rock,And,Then,Fell Back Down,Onto the Mountain,Continuing to Slide Down .
As It made the Gang,Bob Up,Into the Sky,Before Falling Back Down,Onto the Hard Wood Floor.
Velma and Fred,Both Grunted as They fell,From the Sky,Onto the Ground,Losing Their Grip,On the Rope.
Shaggy and Daphne landed,On Their Bums,Since They had been,Holding onto the Door Knob,The Whole Time,Getting Through That Bump,Unscathed.
Scooby was,Pretty Safe,Too,He had grabbed,Onto Shaggy's Foot,So,He wouldn't Fall,And,Hurt Himself.
However.
Louis wasn't the Same Way.
When the Ship Bumped Up,And,Then Down,Louis fell Off of Scooby's Back,And,Rolled Down,To the Main Deck,His Back,Ramming,Straight into the Mast.
As the Ship continued to Slide Down,The Gang saw a Large Rock,Coming Up Ahead.
And,It was Too Big,For Them to,Just Roll Over.
If They had hit It,The Ship would,Probably,Come Apart.
Scooby and Shaggy,Still,Sitting on the Top Deck,On Their Butts,Saw the Coming Rock.
"Uh Oh,Like,Scooby-Doo,Grab the Wheel," Shaggy commanded,Firmly,Seeing the Coming Rock,And,Thinking Fast,as He pointed to the Spinning Out of Control Wheel,So,Scooby would know,Where It was.
As the Ship resumed,To Slide Down,Towards the Large Boulder,Scooby ran Up,On his Hind Legs,To the Spinning Wheel,And,Grasped It,Tightly,In his Paws.
Scooby's Paws,Moved,From Side to Side,As the Ship,Still,Went towards the Large Boulder.
Shaggy got to his Feet,And,Ran to Scooby's Side.
"Go Left," Shaggy demanded,Quickly.
"Left?" Scooby repeated,In a Worried Tone,Repeating it,Just In Case,He heard Wrong.
"Right," Shaggy agreed,Softly.
"Right? You said,Go Left," Scooby reminded,Repeating What Shaggy Said,In Confusion,From What,He had,Previously Said.
"Yeah,He said,Go Left," Louis notified,In a Worried Voice,as He leaned,Against the Mast
"Like,Yeah,I said,Right,Go Left," Shaggy informed,Trying to Explain to Him,What He meant.
"Right?,Right," Scooby repeated,Before,Just Assuming,What Shaggy had Said,And,Going Right,Instead of Left.
Scooby turned the Steering Wheel,To the Right,Driving It,Straight Towards the Boulder.
"No,He Said,Left," Louis warned,Angrily,Seeing the Boulder,Coming Up Fast,Just wanting Scooby to drive Them,To Safety.
"Left?" Scooby repeated,Trying to Make Sure,Still,Quite Confused.
"Exactly,Left,Go Left," Shaggy ordered,Furiously,as He turned the Steering Wheel,To the Left,Instead of the Right.
The Rudder turned to the Left,Making the Ship start to Turn.
The Ship made a Hard Left,Landing,Into a Small Pot Hole,as It made the Left.
Putting the Ship,Back on the Right Path,Down the Mountain.
The Ship continued to Slide Down,The Mountain,as the Bottom of the Ship started to Break,From the Rough Slide.
As It was Sliding,Fred and Velma got Back,Onto Their Feet,And,Grabbed the Rope,Firmly,In Their Hands,as They pulled on It Hard,Trying to keep Dark Lilith,From Escaping.
At the Same Time.
Scooby and Shaggy,Both Grasped the Wheel,as They kept the Wheel Straight,To keep It,From going to the Side.
As For Louis,He slid,Down,From the Mast to the Side of the Ship,Going Overboard.
Louis Screamed as He went Overboard,But,Grabbed the Edge of the Side of It,Saving Himself,From Falling,Completely Off the Boat.
The Boat continued to Sliding Down,as They Bumpy Ride Resumed.
Meanwhile.
Back in the Town of Scorpion Wells.
The Town was,Still,A Mess,From the Dark Lilith Attack.
People were,Outside Talking,Just doing Their Own Thing.
Bucket Head Brenda was One of Those People.
She was,Walking Over to the Group,That was Talking,With a Mug of Oil,In her Hands.
As She was Walking Over There,She started to feel Large Rumbles,From beneath Her Feet.
"Huh," Bucket Head Brenda murmured,Feeling the Rumbling Coming,From behind Her,as She turned to the Direction of the Rumbling.
She saw the Large Ship,Sliding Down the Mountain,With Dark Lilith tied to the Mast,And,The Whole Gang Screaming,Inside.
Bucket Head Brenda dropped her Mug of Oil,In Surprise,as She saw It Coming.
The Other Townspeople saw It Coming,Too.
They Screamed as They All Started Panicking,And,Running Around,All over the Place.
Not Knowing,Where to Go.
Bucket Head Brenda Screamed as She took Off,Running,Running to the Side of Town,To Safety.
Back in the Ship.
The Ship was Sliding Down,Towards the Town and the Townspeople,With the Gang Inside.
The Ship went Down,A Slope,And,Up,Onto a Small Bump,as It slid Up the Bump,Towards the Large Building,In the Middle of the Town,Which turned Out to be,City Hall.
Fred and Velma,Both,Quickly,Grabbed the Mast,Trying to Hold On.
"Oh No,Everybody,Brace for Impact," Fred informed,as Loud as He could Say,As He saw the Town,Coming Up.
Louis grasped the Edge of the Ship,Tightly,Ready for the Impact.
Scooby and Shaggy grasped the Steering Wheel,Also,Ready for It.
The Ship slid Down,To the Bottom of the Mountain,Sliding,Right into City Hall.
Making All the Propane Tanks,On the Side of City Hall,Explode,On Impact.
As They slid,Through City Hall,The Propane Tanks started Exploding,Around Them,Bursting Holes,Into the Ship,as It slid,Right Through City Hall,And,Continued Sliding Through Town.
Daphne,Shaggy and Scooby,All Screamed as They saw All the Propane Tanks Explode,Around Them.
Dark Lilith Screeched as She tried to pull Away,Again,Trying to get Away,From the Flames.
But,Still,Failed.
The Ship continued Sliding,Through Town,Sliding,Straight towards the Large Scorpion Wells Sign.
The Ship Slid,Straight for the Sign.
Immediately,Sliding into It.
As It continued to Slide,The Metal Poles holding the Sign Up,Started to Slice,Through the Ship,Already slicing Through the Front of the Ship.
Velma and Fred Gasped,In Fear,as They saw the Metal Poles,Slicing Through the Ship,And,Slicing towards Them.
Velma and Fred Screamed,At the Same Time,as They saw It Coming.
Both Of Them took Off Running,To Opposite Sides,Choosing a Side,So,They wouldn't get Slice,Through,As Well.
Fred and Velma,Both chose a Side,And,Stayed There,Saving Themselves.
The Metal Poles sliced,Right Through the Mast,And,Headed Straight towards the Steering Wheel,And,The Rest of the Top Deck.
Shaggy,Scooby and Daphne saw the Metal Poles,Slicing towards Them.
As They All Three,Quickly Panicked.
The Three of Them Screamed,To the Top of Their Lungs,As They ran Off to the Right,With Fred,Instantly,Choosing a Side.
The Metal Poles sliced,Right Through the Steering Wheel,All the Way,Through the Back of the Ship.
Slicing the Entire Ship,In Half,With the Poles.
Shaggy,Scooby,Fred and Daphne,All Went Overboard,Falling to the Ground,as Their Half of the Ship came,Falling Down,Towards Them
The Four Screamed as The Part of the Ship,Landed,On Top of Them,Burying Them,In It's Rubble.
Velma,Louis and Dark Lilith,All Screamed,At Once,As Their Side of the Ship,Caved In.
Taking Dark Lilith,Louis and Velma,Down with It.
Their Part of the Ship Smashed to Pieces,as It hit the Ground.
"Hang On,Louis," Velma shouted as She put Her Arms,Around Him,While Little Parts of the Ship,Collapsed onto Her and Louis,Burying Them,Slightly.
The Remaining Part of the Mast fell to the Ground,Taking Dark Lilith with It,Ramming Her,Into the Ground.
Dark Lilith Screeched,One Last Time,as She fell to the Ground,Flat on Her Face.
Silence,Finally,Returned as Both Parts of the Ship,Laid Across from Each Other,Both,Finally Broken.
Velma and Louis Groaned as They felt the Pain,Of the Debris,On Them.
Velma laid There,With Her Arm,Around Louis.
"Oy,That's a Pain,That's gonna Linger," Velma commented as She laid There,By his Side,Not wanting the Pain to Stay.
Louis turned to Her,Slightly.
"Thanks,Vel," Louis thanked,Happily,as He lifted Little Parts of the Debris,Off her Back.
"No Problem," Velma replied,Softly,as She laid There,Next to Him.
Velma lifted the Remaining Little Parts of the Ship,Off Her and Louis,as She stood Up,Back onto Her Feet.
Velma picked Louis Up,In Her Arms,as She looked Around,About to start,Looking for the Gang.
That was When.
Velma Gasped,In Surprise,as She saw Something,In Front of Her.
It was Dark Lilith.
She had,Just Gotten to her Feet,Herself,With the Piece,Still,In her Hands.
Dark Lilith looked at It,With Shame.
Velma Sniffed the Air,Again.
Still,Smelling Something Familiar.
"There's,That Smell,Again," Velma added,Quietly.
Louis sniffed the Air,Trying to Find,What She was Smelling.
And,That,He did.
It Smelled Awfully Familiar.
"Yeah,It's...,Oh,Of Course,Hot Dog Water," Louis announced,With Surprise,In his Voice.
He did not,Really Expect Her to be Here,At All.
Let Alone,Dressing Up,as Some Demon Woman.
Dark Lilith/ Hot Dog Water heard Her Name,as She looked at Part of Her Costume,Seeing Part of It Gone,Showing Her Pants,And,Immediately,Started Running,In Panic.
They weren't,Supposed to have Seen Her.
Velma and Louis saw Her,Trying to take Off.
"Marcie,Wait," Velma called Out,Running After Her,With Louis,In Her Arms.
Dark Lilith stopped,Hearing Her Real Name.
Dark Lilith turned to Velma and Louis,Seeing Them,Following after Her.
Dark Lilith turned Away as She took Off her Mask,And,Turned Back Around.
Revealing It to be,Exactly,Who They thought She Was.
"Hello,Velma,Louis," Hot Dog Water Said,Quietly,With Shame in Her Voice.
"Why would You..." Velma was,About to Ask Hot Dog Water,But,Even,She knew the Answer,To That One.
"Wait,Of Course,Mr. E,You're,Still,Working for Him," Velma mentioned,as She set Louis,Down,On the Ground,Remembering,How She had Left,Hot Dog Water,With Him,While,Putting the Pieces of the Mystery Together.
"But,You couldn't,Outwit the Captain's Traps,Without Fred," Louis added,In an Upset Tone,Not,Really Wanting to put Hot Dog Water,Back in Prison.
"That's Right,So Humiliating,To have to rely,On a Guy," Hot Dog Water complained,Agreeing with Louis's Statement,Before Complaining,To have to rely on Fred,As She lowered Her Head,In Shame.
"But,Why? We're Your Friends," Louis questioned,In Confusion,Wondering,Why She,Ever Wanted to Hurt Them.
"I Know,And,You Both,Still are," Hot Dog Water reassured as She knelt Down,On One Knee,To Talk to Louis.
Hot Dog Water Sighed,In Disappointment,as She put her Hand,On Louis's Shoulder.
"I,Re-Purposed my Old Manticore Outfit and Super Helium Technology to create the Dark Lilith Disguise,Then,I lured Gary and Ethan,Here,By,Falsely telling Them,That,Professional Soccer Players worked Their Calf Muscles,On Mount Diabla," Hot Dog Water explained,Softly,Explaining to Her Two Best Friends,On,How She did It.
"Yep,That's Ethan and Gary,For You," Velma commented,Still,Annoyed with the Two of Them,as She crossed Her Arms.
"I knew,Fred would talk You Guys,Into Investigating,What Happened to Them,Then,Fred could spring the Traps,And,I could get the Piece," Hot Dog Water eludicated,as She held the Piece,Up to the Air,While,She talked.
Hot Dog Water Sighed,Again,In Disappointment,as She lowered the Piece,Down.
"But,You're a Hard Boy to Fool,Lou,You Too,Velma,You're,Pretty Hard to Fool Yourself,I'm Glad,You,Both recognized Me," Hot Dog Water Said,Happily,as She put,Both Hands,On Louis's Shoulders.
Louis Smiled as He pulled Hot Dog Water,To Him,Hugging Her,Tightly.
"Me Too," Velma agreed,Also,Quite Glad,That,She had recognized Her,So,She could see Her,Again.
Velma got Down,On Her Knees,as She hugged Louis and Hot Dog Water,Too,Turning It,Into a Group Hug.
Hot Dog Water Smiled,as They Both hugged Her,Tightly.
For the First Time,In Awhile,She felt Loved.
The Three stopped Hugging,To decide,What to do Next,as Velma and Hot Dog Water stood Up.
"So...How's This gonna End?" Louis asked,In Curiosity,Wondering,What was gonna Happen Next.
Hot Dog Water knelt Down,One Last Time,as She lowered Her Head,In Pain.
"Here,Friendship should,Always Come First,And,Well,You Two are the Only Friends,I've Ever Had," Hot Dog Water stated,Softly as She handed the Piece to Louis,Pushing It,Into Louis's Hands.
Louis's Eyes started to Tear Up,as He saw Her,Put It,Into His Hands.
Hot Dog Water got Back,Onto Her Feet,as She started to Walk Away.
"Wait,What about Mr. E? He'll Hunt,You Down and Destroy You," Velma reminded,Worried for her Friend's Safety.
Hot Dog Water turned Back Around,Looking at Velma and Louis,With a Smile.
"He'll have to Catch Me,First,See Ya Around,Velma Dinkley,Louis Parker," Hot Dog Water announced,Confidently,Turning Around,And,Continued to Walk Away,as She Said,Goodbye to Her Two Best Friends.
Velma and Louis watched Her,Walk Away,as Louis held the Piece,In his Hands,While,Crying at the Same Time.
As Hot Dog Water Continued to Walk Away,The Sun began to Rise,Towards Where She was Headed.
Velma and Louis Smiled,Slightly,as They watched Her Disappear,Into the Desert.
The Two lowered Their Heads,In Sadness,Already Missing Her.
But,Louis was Happy for Her.
She was going Out,On Her Own,For Safety.
Maybe,She would Find,Some Happiness,Out There.
But,There was One Thing,He Knew.
He knew,That,He would See Her Again,Soon.
Real Soon.
Meanwhile.
On the Other Side of the Ship.
Fred pushed a Large Wooden Pole,Off Him and the Rest of the Gang.
Finally,Freeing Them,From The Burial,That had Happened,Earlier.
Fred,Daphne,Shaggy and Scooby walked Out,Of the Rubble of the Ship.
The Four turned to Their Side,Where They saw Louis and Velma,Standing and Sitting,Side by Side,as They watched the Sun-Rise.
Fred and Daphne looked at Each Other,With a Weirded Out Look,Wondering,What They had Missed.
The Four of Them walked,Over to the Duo,To Re-Join Up with Them.
As Fred walked,Over to Them,He saw the Piece of the Planispheric Disc,In Louis's Hands.
"Way to Go,You Two,I thought,Dark Lilith was going to End Up,With the Fifth Piece for Sure," Fred Congratulated,Congratulating Them,On Getting the Piece,Before Adding,What He thought,as He took the Piece of the Disc,From Louis's Hands,And,Held It Up to the Sky,In Victory,While,He Smiled at It.
"Like,Where'd the Evil Lady Go?" Shaggy wondered,In Curiosity,as Him,Scooby,Daphne and Fred looked Around,For Any Sight of Dark Lilith.
"No Idea," Louis stated,Smiling,Slightly,as He wiped Away his Tears.
"Flew Away,I Guess," Velma Finished,Finishing Louis's Sentence,as She,Also Smiled.
Scooby turned to Check,On his Buddy,To See,How He was doing.
"Are You Okay?" Scooby asked,In Concern,as He watched Louis wipe Away his Tears.
"Yeah,Yeah,I'm Good," Louis replied,as He continued to Wipe Away his Tears.
Velma looked Around,Trying to Make Sure,That,No One was Around.
Velma grabbed the Piece,From Fred's Hand,And,Walked Over to the Back of the Mystery Machine.
Velma opened the Door,Revealing a Small Briefcase to be,In the Back.
Velma opened It,as She put the Fifth Piece of the Planispheric Disc,Into the Brief Case,With the Other Pieces,That,They had Found.
Mystery Incorporated had,Officially Gotten the First Half of the Planispheric Disc.
Velma closed the Brief Case,And,the Door to the Mystery Machine,Securing the Pieces.
The Gang,All let Out a Sigh of Relief,Glad to Have,At Least,Half of the Disc.
While the Gang was,Standing,In Front of the Back of the Mystery Machine,Granny Snaggletooth approached Shaggy,as She tapped his Shoulder.
Shaggy turned to Where She Stood.
Shaggy Screamed,In Surprise.
"How about a Little Smooch,For the Road,Shaggity Man?" Granny Snaggletooth offered as She looked at His Face,Closely,Smiling at Him.
"Zoinks,Huh,Like,How About Not?" Shaggy responded,In Disgust,as He ran,To Behind Louis and Scooby.
Louis,Now,Sat Back,On Scooby's Back,And,Off the Ground.
Louis and Scooby turned to Shaggy,Seeing,How Disgusted He was.
As They Both Giggled,Quietly.
Daphne and Fred watched as They saw Shaggy,Hiding Behind Louis and Scooby,And,The Other Two Giggling.
Both of Them,Just,Shook Their Heads,Not Saying a Word.
That was When.
They heard a Voice,Coming Up to Them.
"Hello,My Friends," A Voice announced,From the Shadows,as the Person,Limped towards Them.
Daphne recognized his Voice,As She approached Him,In Surprise.
"Ugly Jimmy," Daphne called,In Surprise.
"You're Okay," Louis Cheered,In Excitement,Relieved,To find Him,Okay.
"Not Anymore,Thanks to the Fall,They're calling Me,Handsome Jimmy,Now," Jimmy informed as He walked,Into the Light,Revealing his,Now Deformed and Bumpy Face.
"Ooh,Jimmy,You look Great," Louis murmured,Nicely,as He looked at Him,Already,Feeling Bad for Him.
"Thanks,What do You Think,Daphne?" Jimmy wondered,In Curiosity,as He walked Up to Daphne,And,Got Up,In her Face.
Daphne Cringed as She looked at his,Now,Tragically Deformed Face.
"I,I,Ugh,I think,I'm gonna Hork," Daphne notified,Starting to feel Her Lunch,Coming Up,as She Walked Away,Trying to resist,Throwing Up.
Scooby,Shaggy and Velma widened Their Eyes,as They saw Handsome Jimmy.
"Don't Mind Her,Jimmy,I think,You look Great," Fred reassured,All to Happy to Know,That,Daphne didn't like Him,Anymore.
"Thanks,Fred,And,Look What I Found,Falling Down the Mountain," Jimmy thanked as He announced to Fred,About,What He had Found,At the Bottom of the Mountain,Handing It Out to Him.
"The Lucky Soccer Ball," Fred announced,Happily,as He grabbed It,From Jimmy's Hand.
Once Fred had That,The Gang,All Piled,In the Van,And,Buckled Up.
Velma being the Last One,To Buckle,Buckled Her Seatbelt.
Louis,Shaggy,and Scooby,Sat in Their Seats,In the Back.
Happily,Ready to Go.
Shaggy looked at Louis,With a Smile.
He was about to Say Something to Him.
When Velma interrupted Him.
"Well,Gang,With the Three Pieces We Have,The Two Pieces,Pericles stole," Velma mentioned,Contentedly.
"That means,There's," Louis continued.
"Just,One More Piece to Go," Scooby finished,Finishing,Both Louis and Velma's Sentences.
Louis and Velma,Both Smiled at Scooby,as They heard Him,Finish Their Sentence.
"Yeah,And,Why do I get the Feeling,That,Even,If We don't find Number Six,It'll end Up,Finding Us?" Daphne commented,Ominously.
"Well,Like,That's Ominous,Daphne," Shaggy added,In a Fearful Tone,as Fred started the Van.
And,Started to Drive Off.
The Mystery Machine drove Past,The Broken in Half Ship,And,Then,The Scorpion Wells Sign.
Suddenly.
In the Shadows of the Broken Apart Ship.
Something Watched Them,Drive Away.
It was Captain Fernando El Aguirre.
He watched Them,Drive Off,From,Inside the Ship.
"Nibiru," Aguirre murmured as He watched Them,Drive Away.
Inside the Mystery Machine.
Louis shot Up,Strangely,Hearing,Exactly,What Aguirre had,Just Said.
Louis turned to the Back Window of the Mystery Machine,as He saw El Aguirre,Standing There,In the Ship,Staring,Directly at Him.
Louis looked at Fernando El Aguirre,With Widened Eyes.
All of a Sudden.
A Paw touched Louis's Shoulder.
Louis turned to the Paw,Quickly,In Fear.
Revealing It to be.
Just,Little Old Scooby.
"It's Okay,It's,Just Me,You Good?" Scooby wondered,Getting More and More Concerned,For His Friend,By the Moment.
Louis Smiled,Slightly,as He put his Hand,On Scooby's Paw,And Said.
"Yeah,Yeah,I'm Good," Louis lied,as He turned Back to the Mystery Machine Window.
After Saying That,And,While He was Staring at Louis,Aguirre broke Out,Into Laughter.
As He laughed,Wickedly,A Double Voice began to be Heard,Like,Two Things were Laughing.
While He was Laughing,Aguirre began to Fade Away,Slowly.
Aguirre continued to Laugh as His Skin,Came Off of his Body,Showing Only Glowing Bones.
And,Still,He continued to Laugh,Like,He wasn't,Even Feeling It.
Just Then.
Aguirre started to Fade,From Existence,His Body started to Disappear,Into a Puff of Glowing Blue Fog,As He,Still,Laughed.
Aguirre Laughed,Wickedly,Over and Over,Until,He Disappeared,Suddenly,Into the Puff of Blue Fog.
Disappearing from the Ship,Entirely,as the Ship faded Away,With Him,Making the Entire Thing Disappear,Like,It Never Happened.
Like,A Broom to Someone's Foot Prints.
But,The Only Question was.
Was to Who's?
