(Sorry,Everyone,I got kinda got Sick,Like Sick to the Stomach and losing Lunch and Everything,For a Couple of Days,And,Honestly,My Days have been Really really Busy,With Everything,That,I am Currently doing,I know,This Chapter has been Overdue,So,As Promised,Here is the Next Episode of My Version of Mystery Incorporated.)
Fred: Previously on Mystery Incorporated.
The Gang watched Grady Gator drive Off as They All walked,Towards the Entrance of the Hotel,To Head Inside.
Scooby followed the Rest of the Gang Inside,But,Stopped,When He noticed Letters on the Hotel Sign going Out,Quickly,Spelling Out the Dog,as He stared at It,With a Raised Eyebrow.
Then.
All of a Sudden.
Three More Letters lit Up,Spelling Out Dies,as Scooby Screamed,And,Shouted,"Shaggy! Louis!
"For What,It's Worth, I believe You," Louis whispered,Softly,To Scooby.
"Thanks," Scooby answered,With a Slight Smile.
"No Problem,What did You See?" Louis wondered,Curiously.
"It Said,The Dog dies," Scooby notified,Fearfully.
"The Curse struck,Again in 1765,When an Entire Town of Missionaries,Likewise,Disappeared. Anyway,Things were Pretty Quiet until 100 Years Later,When Conquistadors found Gold,Here, And,Renamed the Town Crystal Cove. Most People thought,That,The Curse had been Lifted,Until the Entire Darrow Family disappeared One Halloween,And,Was never Seen,Again...Moving On," Velma continued to Describe as She played a Recording of the Darrow Family Screaming,Before,Leading the Tourists Inside to the Exhibits.
"What's the problem here? Avocados," Mayor Jones wondered,Approaching Avocados,Who was covered in the Ink,That had Spilled.
"That's Avacados,And,If You want to run a Dirty Campaign,Two can play at,That Game," Avacados corrected,Briefly,Getting All Up in Mayor Jones's Face,Before,Storming off.
"George Avocados,The Person,I'm running Against,He considers Himself, A Shoe-In for the Job, Because his Father, Theodore Avocados, was Mayor,Once,Until,He was caught stealing a Priceless Diamond from Crystal Cove Bank," Mayor Jones elucidated.
"Some Journal belonging to Theodore Avocados," Daphne answered.
"Hey,Isn't,That the Bank Robber?" Louis wondered.
"Exactly,That's George's Dad, the One,Arrested for Diamond Theft,Even,Though,The Diamond was never Found," Fred agreed.
"Well,According to This,He,Really,Was the Thief,The Confession is,Right Here,In Black and White," Daphne said,Reading a Part of the Journal,And,Telling the Gang,Before,Lowering It Down.
"George Avocados?" Fred responded,In Shock,Surprised to see Him,After,What had Happened,Last Time.
"That's Avacodos,You Delinquent," Avocados corrected,Firmly,as He narrowed his Eyes at Him,And,Glared at Him,Before,Insulting Him.
"What are You doing on My Land?" Avocados questioned,Suspiciously.
"Like,Dude,This is your Land?" Shaggy wondered,In Confusion,Not getting,How,It was his Land,When Destroido had Declared It,Their's.
"My Family has farmed Avocados on This Land,For Generations,Because,You Horrid Children unmasked my Dear Father as a Diamond Thief,My Reputation has been Besmirched,Forcing Me to work My Fingers to the Bone,So,That,I can keep Myself in the Wealthy Manner,To,Which,I have become Accustomed," Avocados elucidated,In an Angry Tone,as He turned Around,While,He continued to Explain,Getting Angrier and Angrier,By the Minute.
The Bomb's Timer went Off,Making an Alarm ring,as the Bomb flew,Through the Countryside,All the Way Over,Into Avocados's Farm,Before,Finally going Off,Exploding Avocados's Whole Avocado Farm.
"My Family's Avocado Farm," George Avocados complained as He stormed Off,Wearing No Clothes and All,While,Fred walked,Back over to the Others.
"Sorry,Mr. Avocados," Louis apologized,Humbly,as Him and the Others watched Avocados storm Off.
"There It is,The Undersea Town!" Tub declared as He pointed to the Ruins of the Undersea Town.
"I think,That's the Lost Town of Missionaries,That,Disappeared about 300 Years Ago," Velma elucidated,Casually,Saying It,Like,That was the Best Thing.
"There is No Escape," The Ghost Lady yelled Out,Confidently.
"Alright,Missy,Call off the Bots," Cassidy commanded as She turned the Chair Around.
Revealing the Person in the Chair to be...Just the Remains of a Dead Woman.
"Nabiru," The Skeletal Remains of the Woman muttered,Before the Woman's Head lowered.
"I heard It,Too,It sounded like," Fred said,Casually,Not being very Frightened by It.
"Nabiru," Velma answered,Finishing Fred's Sentence,Immediately,Saying the Word.
"That was What I heard That Ghost of a Soldier Say,It wasn't Nabari,It was Nibiru," Louis realized as He Gasped,Just Then,Remembering,What the Soldier had Said.
"Nibiru," The Thing Whispered as the Black Pearls,From Inside the Sarcophagus,Began to Move,And,The Creature,That,Sat in There,Started to Laugh,Wickedly.
"My Favorite Internet Encyclopedia says,There's supposed to be a Collision,The Nibiru Collision is a Disastrous Encounter,Between the Earth and a Large Planetary Object," Velma elucidated as She pressed a Key,Which played an Example of,What the Collision was going to look Like,Before,The Screen went,Into Static,While,Daphne, Shaggy,Louis and Scooby looked Over Her Shoulder,And,Listened to Her explain,What the Internet Said,About What Nibiru was.
"I've cobbled Together a Rudimentary Player for the Planispheric Disc," Velma announced, as She walked Over to a Thing covered with a Red Tarp,And,Pulled It Off,Revealing a Record Player,Which had All These Other Wires,A TV Antenna and Most of the Planispheric Disc Pieces connected to It.
Once Velma pressed the On Button,The Planispheric Disc Pieces spinned,Around and Around,In a Circle,Searching for the Correct Order as the Whole Gang gather Around,The Planispheric Disc Player,Waiting to see the Results.
The Planispheric Disc spinned,Into the Correct Order,as the Disc,Then,Stopped,Spelling Out a Familiar Word on the Screen,Which They All knew.
The Gang Gasped,At the Exact Same Time,as They saw the Familiar Word,On the Screen.
"Nibiru!"They All called Out,In Unison, as They looked at the Word On the Screen Being Surprised,To Hear the Word 'Nibiru',Again,So Soon.
"That's the Same Word Abigail Gluck and That Ghost of the Conquistador Said," Daphne mentioned.
"Oho! Like,Yeah,The One,That means," Shaggy started as He Gulped,In Terror,Remembering,Exactly,What the Word meant.
"Doomsday!" Scooby and Shaggy shouted,At Once,as They clinged to Each Other,In Fear,Already becoming Afraid,From,What They had,Just Heard.
"So,The Planispheric Disc has Something to do with the Possible Coming Doomsday?" Louis questioned,Now,Realizing,That,the Whole Planispheric Disc Thing had Something to do with Nibiru.
"D-D-Do You Know,What Nibiru is?" Louis questioned,as He stuttered,Just,Trying to Ask It.
"Where did You hear That Word?" Spot lashed Out,In Terror,as He put his Paws,On Louis's Shoulders,Grasping Them,Tightly.
"Sp-Spot,Are You Scared?" Louis mentioned,Seeing Him,Acting So Weird,as Quite Concerning,as He asked Him if He was Scared.
"ANSWER ME!" Spot demanded,Yelling Out at Him,In his Face,Sounding Quite Aggressive,as He grasped Louis's Shoulders,Tighter.
"I was Saying,That,At the Bottom of the Page,I found a Couple of Extra Articles,With a Familiar Word,That,Has been Going Around,A Lot,As of Late," Velma elucidated as She entered,Into One of the Bottom Articles,And,Scrolled All the Way Down,To,Where She saw the Word.
"Nibiru!" They All announced,In Unison,Finding the Fact,That,It was a Part of It Surprising.
"Like,This is What is going On with Scooby? The Whole Doomsday Thing?" Shaggy questioned,Worriedly.
"I'm doing This,Because,You took My Girl!" Scooby shouted,as He slammed his Foot,On to Louis's Sternum,Making Louis wince at the Pain of feeling It.
"V-Velma? You,You like Her,Too?" Louis asked,Out of Confusion.
"This Proves,How Selfish You are! You didn't,Even Notice Me! HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE? WHERE'S MY HAPPY ENDING,LOUIS? DO YOU KNOW,HOW LONG,I'VE HAD TO SWALLOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW,HOW LONG MY HEART ACHED CAUSE I HAD TO SHIP YOU TWO? DO YOU KNOW,HOW MUCH,I'VE SUFFERED? NO! BECAUSE,YOU NEVER KNEW!" Scooby lashed Out,Angrily.
"I didn't say Anything,I Said Not-hing,For You,Cause,I had Cared about You,I cared for Your Feelings,I did not want to make You Upset,I wanted You to be Happy,Well,Now,I'm Sick of You,I'd like to Think of Me for a Change,I'd like to be Free from You," Scooby elucidated.
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.
Present Day.
At the Historical Society Theater.
In the Middle of the Night.
Onstage.
The Theater Director stood,Above All the Volunteers for the New Upcoming Play,That,They were going to put On.
"Welcome,Volunteer Stage Hands. Thanks to your Court-Ordered Community Service,You get to be Part of This Yearly Tradition,Where We,Theatrically,Re-Create Something Horrid,From Our City's Sordid Past." The Theater Director explained to the Teenage Convicts,Dramatically,While, Using Dramatic Hand Motions,as He talked.
All of the Teenagers looked at the Theater Director,With a Ridiculed Face,Finding the Current Thing,That,They were Doing Dumb.
The Director,Ignoring Their Rude Faces,Decided to Continue On,as He continued to Talk.
"And,What could be More Horrid than That Night 500 Years Ago,When a Terrifying Earthquake sent the First Town of Crystal Cove sinking into the Sea,All would have Perished if It weren't for the Brave Efforts of Friar Gabriello Serra and his Trusty Donkey Porto," The Theater Director elucidated,Moving his Hands in a Dramatic Way,While,He told Them the Story,Before,Walking over to a Picture of the Friar and the Donkey,Slightly,Touching the Picture Frame of the Photo.
The Teenagers,Then,All rolled Their Eyes,In Annoyance,as They continued to hear the Man Talk
"And,I'm very Pleased to Announce,That,The Role of Friar Serra will be Played by,None Other than Crystal Cove High's Master Thespian...Doogle McGuiness," The Director announced,as He gestured,With his Hands,To the Side of the Stage,Waiting for Him to Come Out.
Just Then.
Doogle McGuiness came Out,From,Behind the Curtain,River-Dancing to the Side,Over to the Director.
Doogle,Then,Stopped,as He opened his Arms Out,And,Stood in a Triumphant Pose.
"Ta! How is Everybody Doing?" Doogle asked,Curiously,With a Smile.
"Well,Doogle,Ready to Rehearse?" The Director wondered.
"Cha! You Bet,But,Um, What's with the Dead Guy?" Doogle agreed,Confidently,as He put his Hands on his Hips,In Achievement,Before,Whispering to the Director,About the Dead Body,That,He was Looking At,With a Disturbed Face.
"The Burlington Library sent Over Genuine Artifacts to help Lend Our Production Authenticity,Including the Mummified Body of Friar Serra Himself,Isn't That Wonderful?" The Director answered,Answering Doogle's Question,as He expressed his Excitement for the Artifacts,While,Asking Doogle,If He thought,It was Wonderful.
"Yeah,Wonderful," Doogle repeated,In Disgust.
Suddenly.
The Lights went Out,On the Whole Theater Stage,Leaving Everyone in the Dark,In Confusion.
"What Happened to the Lights?" The Director questioned,Fearfully.
Just Then.
Doogle and the Director heard a Loud Creak as They Both turned Their Attention,To the Direction of the Sound.
The Sound was Coming,From the Friar's Mummified Coffin,as Doogle and the Director,Looked at It,With Confusion,Before,Beginning to Hear a Terrifying Hissing Sound.
As They Both looked at It,They saw a Thick Green Mist surrounding the Coffin,Before,Watching a Shadow raise Up,Out of the Coffin,Into the Air.
The Minute,The Two of Them saw That,Doogle Screamed,as He jumped,Into the Director's Arms,In Terror.
The Others,Also,Seeing It,Began to Panic,as They took Off Running Away,From the Strange Coffin,Starting to Freak Out,From,What They had,Just Seen.
Doogle and the Director watched All of Them run Out of the Theater,In Fear,as They turned Back to the Shadow in the Green Mist.
The Green Mist,Then,Disappeared,Revealing the Shadow to be...the Mummified Ghost of Friar Serra,Himself.
Friar Serra Roared Out,Ferociously,as He floated,Towards the Two of Them,With his Hands reached Out.
The Director Screamed,as He,Then,Dropped Doogle,Onto the Ground,In Surprise,And,Made a Run for It.
Doogle Grasped his Head,Tightly,as He looked Up,To see,The Ghost speeding,Through the Air,Towards Him.
Doogle Gasped as He got Back Up,Onto his Feet,And,Ran,After the Director.
However.
By the Time,Doogle had Started Running,It was Already,Too Late.
The Ghost of Friar Serra Snarled as He raised his Hand,And,Slashed Doogle in the Face,Making Him,Fly through the Air,Into the Church Prop.
The Ghost,Then,Flew Back Around,Directly,Towards the Director,as He,Quickly,Caught Up to Him,And,Grabbed Ahold of his Head,Before,Biting Down,On,What It thought was his Head.
The Director Screamed,In Horror,as The Spector opened Its Eye,To see,Only the Director's Wig,In his Hand.
The Ghost Growled as It narrowed Its Eyes at It,And,Dropped It to the Ground,While,The Director,Just felt his,Now,Bald Head.
Friar Serra Snarled,Once More,as He floated,At the Director,Getting Ready to Attack Him,Again.
The Director got Back Up,Onto his Feet,as Both Him and Doogle ran Up the Theater Stairs,Towards the Exit,Neither One looking Back.
Friar Serra Roared,Angrily,as He watched Both Men run Up the Stairs,To the Exit,Leaving the Whole Play Behind.
"Anyone,Who dares tell My Story is Doomed!" The Ghost of Friar Serra vowed,as Him and the Mist Disappeared,From the Scene,Waiting for the Next Group of People to Try and tell It.
The Next Night.
At Daphne's House.
The Mystery Machine sat,Parked,In Between Two Trees,In the Small Forest,That was,Near Her House,So,It would not be Seen,as Shaggy,Scooby,Louis,Fred and Nova snuck Out of the Van,Towards the Small Bushes,That,Sat near Daphne's House.
The Minute,They All got to the Bushes,Shaggy,Fred,Nova and Louis stopped,Behind the Small Bushes,So,They could use Them as Cover.
Scooby,Who was,Currently,Not paying Attention,Continued Walking towards the Bushes,as He,Then,Accidentally,Bumped,Right,Into Louis.
"Ow!" Louis whispered,Loudly,as He turned to Scooby,With an Angry Look,While,Scooby,Just Smiled,Embarrassingly.
"Like,Let's keep Moving," Shaggy requested.
"Agreed," Fred mumbled,as the Five of Them,Continued towards Their Destination.
The Five of Them snuck Past the Small Bushes,Towards the Back Exit of Her House,Where Daphne had,Just opened the Door,Slightly,For All of Them to Sneak In.
All Five of Them,Quietly,Walked,Through the Back Door of the House,Which Daphne was holding Open,as,The Minute,They got Through,She closed the Door.
"Up the Servant Staircase,Guys,Quick!" Daphne commanded,as She pointed to the Stairwell,That,She was talking About.
Shaggy,Nova and Scooby,With Louis,Now,Sitting on Scooby's Back,Since They were inside,Walked Up the Staircase,Towards the Room,That,She was going to let Fred stay In,No Questions Asked.
Fred,However,Did Not Walk Up the Stairs,He stopped,Right,At Daphne's Side.
"But,Daphne,You don't have to do This," Fred voiced,Softly.
"Yes,Fred,I do,This is Totally Necessary,You can't keep Living,By the River,In the Mystery Machine,You're Beginning to...Smell," Daphne insisted,as She put Her Hands on Her Hips,In Frustration,Before,Motioning with Her Hands,How Important,That,It was,While,She talked.
Daphne,Quickly,Turned Her Head,Away,From Him,Not wanting to Smell Fred,At the Moment,Considering,He smelled Really Bad,After not bathing,In So Long.
"But,I've been using My Hobo Soap," Fred pointed Out.
"Hobo Soap?" Daphne repeated,In Concern,Not liking the Name of the Soap,Cause,It,Literally, Had sounded like It smelled.
"A Pine Cone dipped in Deer Sweat,And,Scented with Ferret Musk,It smells Amazing," Fred explained,Casually.
"Blech!" Daphne whispered,as She began to Walk Up the Stairs,Towards One of the Rooms.
Fred,Not getting,How That was Disgusting,Lifted his Arm,as He smelled his Armpit.
"Hmm!" Fred responded,In Disgust,as He,Then,Walked Up the Stairs,After the Others.
Daphne,Now,Upstairs,With the Rest of Them,Opened the Door,To One of the Rooms,And,Walked into It,as The Others stood,Behind Her,Waiting for Her to Walk In.
The Minute,She walked in to the Room,Fred,Shaggy,Scooby and Louis went in to the Room,After Her,To see the Room,She had for Fred and Nova.
"Whoa," Shaggy murmured,In Admiration,as Him and the Other Four looked at the Beautiful Room,That,She had prepared for Them.
Daphne walked,Over to the Curtains,as She closed Them,Quietly,And,Turned Around to talk to Fred.
"You and Nova should be Okay in Here,Mother and Father,Don't usually Go to This Side of the Mansion," Daphne declared,as She,Then,Walked over to the Other Side of the Room.
"Hopefully,The Perfect Place,Where the Two Psychopaths can never find Them," Louis added.
"Bathroom's in There,There's Real Soap in the Shower," Daphne elucidated,as She pointed to,Where the Bathroom was,Before,Putting Her Hands on Her Hips,Once More.
"But," Fred tried to Say.
"Use It!" Daphne commanded,Firmly,as She,Then,Put Her Hands Back on Her Hips.
Scooby and Nova walked Together,Side by Side,To,Where the Other Two were,as They stopped,When They were There.
"I'll visit You Everyday,My Precious Nova" Scooby reassured,To Nova,as He looked at Her,With a Love Struck Smile.
Nova turned Around,To Look at Him,as She scratched,Behind Her Ear,Feeling a Little Itch.
"Somehow,I don't think,That,She is Worried," Louis stated.
"You never know,It's Possible Her Poor Furry Adorable Brain might Worry," Scooby brought Up.
"Ew,You Two are Gross," Louis muttered,Disgustedly.
"Look,Like,It's a Text,From Vincent Van Ghoul," Shaggy announced,as He walked,Over to Daphne,Fred,Scooby,Louis and Nova,And,Held Up his Phone,For All of Them to See.
"What does It say?" Scooby wondered,as He walked Closer to Shaggy,To see,What the Text Said.
"Heep?" Scooby and Louis repeated,At the Same Time,In Confusion,Not getting,What He was Saying.
"What the Heck does That Mean?" Scooby questioned,With a Confused Look.
Later.
At the Theater.
"I meant to Type 'Help,'But,I'm No Good with These New-Fangled Gadgets,I mean,I was in,Such a Panicked State," Vincent Van Ghoul informed,Worriedly,as He looked at the Accidental Wrong Text,That,He had Sent.
"Why are You Panicking,Now?" Louis asked,With a Raised Eyebrow.
"Good Question," Velma commented,as She leaned,Against Her Boyfriend's Small Shoulder.
"Mayor Nettles Called Me,And,Asked Me to take Over the Play,Evidently,The Director and the Star,Suddenly,Quit," Vincent explained,as He paced Back and Forth,Across the Stage.
"Like,Oh Boy,Sounds like,You are in Quite a Pickle," Shaggy added.
"Yeah,When I was First Offered,Obviously,I jumped at the Chance,l'm a Great Supporter of Amateur Dramatics,And,Truth be Told,My Career could Use a Goose," Vincent continued.
"A Goose?" Louis responded,With a Weirded Out Tone,Not getting,Why Vincent use That Word,Considering,It didn't make Any Sense,In That Sentence.
"Yes,But,When I arrive,I find the Set's been Destroyed,And,Worse,The Only Copy of the Script has been Ripped to Pieces,What am I gonna do?" Vincent elucidated,as He continued to Explain to Them,While,Picking Up the Only Remaining Piece of the Script,Before,Getting Down on his Knees,Covering his Face,And,Beginning to Cry.
Shaggy,Scooby and Louis,Seeing Him,Really Upset,Walked and Rolled,Over to Him,To Comfort Him.
"Don't Worry,Mr. Van Ghoul," Shaggy whispered as He knelt Down,On One Knee,And,Put his Hand on Shaggy's Shoulder.
"Yeah,We got Ya Covered," Louis announced.
"We'll Help You," Scooby declared.
"We Will?" Fred,Daphne and Velma responded,In Confusion,Not remembering,Giving the A-Okay,That,They were going to Help.
"We will," Shaggy stated.
"Yes,After All the Times,You Guys have Gotten Me,Scooby and Shaggy in Trouble,You owe Us," Louis pointed Out,Firmly.
"Big Time," Scooby finished,Finishing Louis's Sentence,as All Three of Them turned to the Other Three.
"Please?" Mr. Van Ghoul pleaded,as He uncovered his Face,To look at Them,With a Sad Look.
"Well...Okay," Fred agreed,Hesitantly.
"Oh,Thank You. Thank You," Mr. Van Ghoul thanked,Repeatedly,as He ran Up to Fred,And,Hugged Him,Tightly.
"This I gotta See," A Familiar Voice commented.
The Minute,They All heard That,They turned to the Direction of The Voice.
"George Avocados?" They All called Out,In Unison,Out of Surprise,Being Surprised,To see Him There,as They looked at Him,In his Janitor Uniform.
"That's Avacados!" George corrected,Angrily,as He pointed his Broom,At Them.
"Mr. Avocados,What are You doing Here?" Daphne interrogated,as She put Her Hands,On Her Hips.
"Sweeping,That's What a Janitor does,Isn't It?" George retorted.
"Janitor?" They All repeated,At the Same Time,In Shock.
"Wow,You Really just never Leave,Or,Stay Away,Do You Avacados?" Louis added,Frustratedly,as He narrowed his Eyes at Him.
"Yeah,What He Said," Scooby remarked,as He put his Paw,On Louis's Shoulder.
"Ha! Ha! After You All destroyed My Farm,The Only Job,That,I could get was Back Here at City Hall as a Janitor," Avocados explained,Angrily,as He explained to Them,How He had gotten the Job.
"Well,I'm,Actually,Surprised,You could even manage This," Louis mentioned,With a Smug Grin,And,His Arms Crossed.
"Yeah,I'm Surprised,Too," Scooby voiced,as He put on the Same Smug Grin,And,Crossed his Arms,As Well.
Ha! And,It's Good Thing,For Me,Too,Now,I get to Watch All of You make Fools,Out of Yourselves,Trying to put On That Play,And,When You fail,I'll be Here to clean Up your Mess," George Avocados shot Back,as He Laughed,Mockingly,At Them,Stopping Sweeping,To Mock Them.
"Avocados! Back to Work!" George's Boss commanded,From,Behind All of the Theater Seats,Seeing Him standing There,Not doing Anything.
"That's Avacados," George Avocados murmured to Himself,Quietly,Correcting His Boss,Feeling Extremely Annoyed,That,He had kept getting his Name Wrong,as He got Back,To Sweeping the Stage.
Simultaneously.
At Destroido.
In Mr. E's Lair.
Pericles and Mr. E were getting,Onto Brad and Judy,For Their Failure,Back,During the Krampus Mystery.
"But,But," Brad tried to Say,Attempting to make Up an Excuse,For,Why,They had Failed.
However.
Neither Mr. E or Pericles would have It,as They,Immediately,Interrupted Him.
"Stifle It,Chiles,Pericles has the Floor," Mr. E commanded,as He raised his Hand Up to Him,Before,Telling Him,That,Pericles was going to take Over.
Pericles flew Off of Mr. E's Shoulder,And,Onto the Table,In Front of the Other Two.
"So,The Kinder,Still have the Disc," Pericles mentioned.
"That much is Clear,Considering,These Two are Idiots,And,Can't take Care of a Thing,By Themselves," Tanya added,With a Smug Grin.
"She's Right,You couldn't,Even Manipulate Your Own Son? Pathetic," Pericles lashed Out,Angrily.
"Fine,We failed," Brad admitted,Firmly.
"That's Right,Brad," Judy commented,Perkily.
"Not Now,Judy!" Brad ordered.
"Finally,Took You Fools Long Enough to break your Creepy Unison," Tanya declared,With her Arms Crossed.
"Aren't You the Smart One,Who should have seen through Fred's Ruse?" Brad questioned.
"Don't push Me,Older Pretty Boy!" Pericles demanded.
"You Better Watch It,Brad," Tanya instigated,as She smiled,Wickedly,At Him.
"I want Those Pieces,And,Since You and your Sweet Dumb Bride failed Me,It is Up to You to recover Them,Before,People get Hurt," Pericles informed,as He squeezed his Talons,Into the Edge of the Table,Making It Crack,Emphasizing His Threat.
At the Same Time.
Back at the Theater.
Fred was Re-Building the Broken Parts of One of the Big Church Prop,Shaggy was Painting the Walls of the Prop,Scooby was,Just Watching,While,Daphne and Louis were setting the Antiques for the Set Down,Where They needed Them.
Louis Sighed,Solemnly,as Him and Daphne put a Golden Vase onto a Small Table.
"Daphne,Has Fred Ever got You Questioning Yourself?" Louis wondered.
"Ha! Way Too Many Times. Why?" Daphne responded,Laughing,The Minute,She heard Him ask the Question,as She,Then,Asked,Why.
"Well, It's about Me and Scooby..." Louis started Saying,Before,Daphne interrupted.
"Aw,Louis,I thought,You and Scooby have been doing Well,As of Late," Daphne mentioned.
"Yeah,We have been,But," Louis said.
"But?" Daphne repeated,With a Raised Eyebrow.
"I don't Know,Part of Me is Still Thinking,About That Night,You Know,When Scooby got Corrupted by the Blood Moon,I mean,He said,So Many Things,That Night,But,Quite a Couple Things,Still Repeat,In My Head,How I only think about Myself,How He hates Me,So Much,That,He wanted to kill Me,How He,Also had feelings for Velma,And,How I didn't notice these Feelings,Sooner," Louis explained.
"Louis," Daphne was about to Say,Before,Louis Interrupted,To Continue On.
"I could've noticed those Things,Daphne,But,I didn't,I just stuck my Head in the Sand,And,Meanwhile,He was Suffering,So Much,Struggling to keep It Together,Having No One to talk To,It's Haunting,Daph,It's Haunting," Louis admitted.
"Louis,You,You can't notice Everything,That is Wrong about Him,It's not Possible,Just like Scooby can't notice Everything Wrong about You,I mean,It doesn't mean,He won't Try,Or,You won't Try,But,The Point is,All You can do,Louis...is Try,And,Believe Me,He cares about You,A Lot and He will never stop Caring,Cause,He is your Best Friend," Daphne elucidated.
"Th-Thanks,Daphne," Louis thanked.
"Your Welcome,Louis," Daphne replied.
"But,There is One Other Thing,Though," Louis notified.
"And,What is That?" Daphne queried.
"Now,He just agrees with Everything I say,He just keeps adding on to What I Say,Or,Copies,What I say or do,What's Up with That?" Louis asked,Confusingly.
"That,You'll have to Ask Him On," Daphne pointed Out.
"Oh! Okay," Louis agreed,as He started to roll Over to Velma,Secretly,Attempting to avoid asking Him.
"And,Louis," Daphne called.
"Yes,Daphne?" Louis answered,as He stopped Rolling,Over to Velma,To Hear,What She was going to say.
"If You don't believe Me about Everything,I just Said,Ask Him about It,You'll get the Same Thing," Daphne suggested,Having a Feeling,He was Still Worrying about It,as She told Him to Ask Him about It.
"Maybe,I will,Just to hear It from the Horse's Mouth,Or,In This Case the Dog's Mouth," Louis announced.
Daphne Giggled,Slightly,as She watched Him roll Over to Velma,To talk to his Girlfriend.
"Hey,Vel,How's My Girl doing? It going Well?" Louis questioned,Just checking Up on his Girlfriend,as She sat Down,On the Stage Floor,With Little Pages.
"Not very Good,Most of the Script's Missing,I can,Barely,Find Any of It," Velma warned.
"Oh Boy," Louis murmured,In Concern.
"But,From the Looks of It,It looks like They were,Trying to tell the Story of Friar Serra and his Donkey,Porto," Velma stated.
Vincent Van Ghoul,Who sat,In the Director's Chair,Beside the Two of Them,With a Small Teacup sitting in his Lap,Happening to Hear It,Decided to Ask Something.
"The Ones,Who saved Everyone,When the First Town of Crystal Cove sank into the Ocean?" Vincent interrogated,Curiously.
"Mm,Hm," Velma muttered,as She nodded,Yes,To Him,Confirming Mr. Van Ghoul's Question.
Shaggy and Scooby,Hearing Velma and Louis's Talk and Mr. Van Ghoul's Question,Turned Around,To Talk to Them,as Shaggy stopped Painting to Speak.
"Like,The Same Underwater Town with Those Killer Robots?" Shaggy wondered.
"Bingo!" Louis responded,Firmly.
"Huh?" Shaggy and Scooby muttered as They turned to Each Other,Before,Looking Down,And,Whimpering,Fearfully.
"I,Still Don't Understand,Why Mr. Lefranc and Doogle would smash the Set,And,Run Off like That," Daphne voiced,as She walked,Over to the Other Four,While,She talked.
"Typical Theater Folk,I,Once saw Lionel Barrymore attack a Settee with a Lead Pipe,But,We'll show Them,Who the True Professionals are," Vincent remarked.
"But,What about the Actors?" Shaggy asked,Out of Curiosity,Wondering,How They were going to do It,Without the Other Actors.
"Stop! Don't Move!" Vincent commanded,as the Whole Stage Silenced,While,He sat Up,And,Began to Walk towards Shaggy.
"Uh,He didn't say Something Wrong,Did He?" Louis questioned,Worriedly.
"That Chin,That Nose." Vincent Van Ghoul commented,as He touched Shaggy's Chin,And,Then,His Nose.
"I'm not Sure,I get,What He's talking about," Louis admitted,In Velma's Ear.
"Me Neither,Just go with It," Velma requested.
"You shall be Friar Gabriello Serra,And,You shall be his Donkey,Porto," Vincent declared,as He softed Scooby's Head,When He said,That,He was going to be the Donkey.
"But,He's not a Donkey," Louis informed,Confusingly.
"Wow,A Donkey!" Scooby repeated,In Excitement.
"Or,We could just ignore Literacy All Together," Louis whispered.
"I should be able to rebuild the Set," Fred announced.
"And,I can make the Costumes," Daphne mentioned.
"And,I'll finish Writing the Play," Velma added.
"And,I'll...do Nothing,It seems to be All I'm good at,Anyway," Louis murmured as He rolled Over to the Side of the Stage,Trying to stay Out of All of Their Way.
"Oh,I love It,It's So Cliche!" Mr. Van Ghoul cheered.
"But,What about Louis?" Velma brought Up.
"Well,He can,Hmm,There must be Something,That,He can do," Vincent was Saying,Before, Thinking through,What had Already been Done.
"Like What?" Scooby queried.
"Ah! I Know,What He can do!" Vincent shouted.
"Yeah? What?" Louis answered,In Excitement.
"You can sit Here by your Dog,And,Watch," Vincent proclaimed.
"Gee,Thanks," Louis muttered,Firmly,as He turned to Look at Scooby,Who was,Still Looking Excited,About playing the Donkey.
"But,First,I'll need to find Out More about Friar Serra and Porto," Velma informed.
Later.
Down in the Basement,In a Room,Below the Theater.
Velma was,Walking,Through It,Looking for Anything on Friar Serra and his Donkey,as She moved Her Flashlight,Around,While,She looked.
Velma stopped at the End of the Basement,Where She saw a Bunch of Crates,as She shined Her Flashlight on Them,Showing the Large Label,That was plastered on It,The Label being 'the Burlington Library'.
Velma narrowed Her Eyes,Suspiciously,as She stared at the Burlington Library Label,With the Narrowed Eyes,Before,Walking Over to a Large Crate.
Velma opened the Large Crate and Shined Her Flashlight,On the Stuff in It,as She started to,Look Through the Stuff,Picking Up a Small Picture to Look At.
The Minute,She put the Picture Down,To look at Something Else,Something Green sped Past Her,From Behind.
"Huh?" Velma responded,as She turned Around,In Alarm,To look at What It was,Seeing Nothing.
Velma,Then,Saw a Strange Golden Coffin,In Front of Her,as She walked towards It,With Her Flashlight,Shining on It.
"Hmm,That's Weird," Velma stated,as She looked at the Empty Coffin,Suspiciously,Before, Seeing,From the Corner of Her Eye,A Shadow run Past.
"Hello? Anybody There?" Velma called Out,Fearfully,as She turned Around,Again,Shining Her Flashlight,From Side to Side,Trying to see,Who It was.
Velma,Still,Not seeing Anybody,Walked Over,Slowly,To the Other Side of the Basement,To see,If the Person was Over There,as She Screamed,Accidentally,Tripping over Something,Causing,Both Her,Her Flashlight and Her Glasses to fall to the Floor,With Her Glasses falling onto the Floor,In Front of Her,And,Her Flashlight shining,Right,On Her Glasses.
"My Glasses!" Velma shouted,as She,Slowly,Stood Back Up onto Her Feet,And,Moved Her Hand,Across the Floor,Searching for Her Glasses,While,A Green Glowing Deformed Shadow,Stood,Next to Her,In the Dark.
Velma,Now,Having found,Where Her Glasses were,On the Ground,Grabbed Them,And,Raised Them Back Up,Onto Her Face,as She saw,What,Currently,Stood,In Front of Her.
It was the Mummy of Friar Serra.
And,The Minute,That,She saw Him,The Mummy Roared Out,In Her Face,Ferociously,as She Screamed Out,In Fear.
~SDMI~
As She Screamed Out,The Mummy's Hand reached Out to Her,Attempting to Grab Her.
However.
Velma,Quickly,Backed Up Away,From Him,as She kept Her Flashlight,Shining on Him.
The Mummy Screeched,Repeatedly,as He Slashed at Her Face,Over and Over,While,She continued to Back Away,Towards Some Boxes.
She Backed Away,Close Enough to the Boxes,Almost falling Backwards,With Her Flashlight, Still,On the Mummy,as She Grasped a Couple of Papers,And,Threw Them,Into his Face,Before,Turning Around to make a Run for It.
Velma,Almost falling,Once Again,Stopped Herself,From Falling,By using Her Hand,To Push Herself,Back Up,Running towards the Door,With the Mummy Shrieking,as It followed,Close Behind Her.
Velma shoved the Room Door Open,as She was,About to run for the Basement Stairs,Before,Accidentally,Falling Backwards,Into a Small Crate and Picture Frames.
The Mummified Friar,Already Close to Her,Leaned Over Her,as She sat,Against the Broken Crate and Frames,And,Roared Out,In Her Face,Once More.
Velma,Letting Her Adrenaline kick In,Started to push Herself Back Up,Onto Her Feet,as The Friar slashed at Her Head,Attempting to Hurt Her.
Velma,Then,Dashed Out of the Corner,Dropping Her Flashlight,Just as the Friar was,About to Slash Her Face into the Remaining Picture Frame,And,Finish Her,as She made a Run,Towards the Basement Stairs,With the Friar following,Close Behind.
Velma ran Up the Stairs,as Fast as She Could,Starting to Reach Out for the Basement Door,Before,She,Suddenly,Fell on Her Stomach onto the Stairs.
She,Quickly,Rolled Off of Her Stomach,And,Onto Her Back,as She saw the Friar There,Grabbing Her Ankle,Tightly,Attempting to bring Her Back Down.
"Whoa! Oh!" She shouted as She kicked Him in the Face,One and,Then,Twice,Before,Kicking Him,Really Hard on Her Third Time,Forcing Him to Let Go.
Velma watched as the Mummy flew Off of the Stairs,Onto the Floor,On his Back,Knocking Him Out.
She,Then,Taking Her Chance,Ran Up the Rest of the Basement Steps,Shut the Basement Door,And,Held It Shut.
Meanwhile.
Back Upstairs.
Fred,Daphne,Shaggy,Scooby,Louis and Vincent Van Ghoul were Watching,One of Vincent's Old Movies,Where He was playing a Doctor.
"No! Stay Away!" Doctor Vincent commanded,as He Backed Away,Slowly,In Fear,Backing Away,Into A Closed Door.
"I should never have Transferred My Dead Wife's Brain into an Earthworm! I was a Fool!" Doctor Vincent admitted,as He raised his Arms Up,In Horror,Trying to protect his Face,While,The Giant Earthworm,Which had Lipstick and his Wife's Clothes On,Wriggled towards Him.
"Kiss Me,Darling!" The Earthworm demanded,as She puckered Her Lips,About Kiss Him on the Lips.
"No! No!" Doctor Vincent shouted,as He shook his Head,Repeatedly,While,Just standing There,In Fear.
All Five of Them sat,In Front of the Projector Screen,Watching the Movie,Learning,All They could,About Acting.
Vincent,However,Was standing by the Projector,Getting Ready to Explain to Them,His Acting Techniques in the Current Movie.
"Now,Notice My Acting Technique Here,I'm,Still,In Love with Her,Yet,Repulsed," Vincent explained,as He moved his Hands Around,Dramatically,While,He talked.
"You do,Definitely,Look Repulsed in This Scene," Louis added.
"Ah,Good Eye," Vincent congratulated.
"Well,I have taken Quite a Couple Acting Classes,It's,How I helped Them to do Some Acting on an Earlier Mystery,I can be Pretty Good at It," Louis mentioned.
Shaggy and Scooby,Not Really paying Much Attention,Both put Hands and Paws Full of Popcorn,Into Their Mouths,as They watched the Movie,Enjoying Themselves,Too Much.
Just Then.
Velma ran,In Front of the Screen,Getting in Everyone's Way,So,They could pay Attention,Before,Looking Back,To see if the Mummy was Still There,While,Panting,Heavily.
"Hey,Velma! Move!" Scooby commanded,Firmly.
Louis,Knowing Something was Wrong,Just by Her Face,Rolled Over to Her,as He put his Hand on Her Shoulder,While,Scooby watched Him,Immediately,Roll Up to Her,With a Sad Face,Missing when He cared about Him like That.
Daphne,Also Knowing,Got Up Off the Floor,And,Put Her Hand on Her Shoulder.
"Velma,You Alright?" Daphne and Louis asked,In Unison,as They stood There,By Her Side.
"Poor Girl,Looks like She's seen a Ghost," Vincent Van Ghoul whispered,as He looked at,How Freaked Out,She was.
"Try Mummy," Velma corrected,Still Panting,as She tried to Catch her Breath.
The Minute,Scooby and Shaggy heard That,They spit Out Their Popcorn,In Surprise.
"Mummy?" They repeated,At the Same Time,In Fear.
"I think,I know Why,Doogle and Mr. Lefranc ran Away," Velma announced.
"Why?" Louis wondered,Curiously.
A Few Minutes Later.
At City Hall.
In Mayor Nettles's Office.
Vincent Van Ghoul and Mystery Incorporated stood,In Front of Her Desk,as Vincent leaned Forward,Against It,While,He spoke to Her.
"My Dear Woman, Why didn't You tell Me This Production was Plagued by a Mummy?" Mr. Van Ghoul interrogated,Suspiciously,as He raised his Hands,In Confusion.
"I didn't Know Mr. Lefranc and Doogle were telling the Truth,I thought,They were making It All Up,To get Out of the Production,Because,I wasn't paying Them Enough," Mayor Nettles elucidated,as She lifted Her Hands,Slowly,While,She explained to Him,Why She didn't tell Him.
"Wait,You were paying Them?" Mr. Van Ghoul questioned.
"Uh,Mr, Van Ghoul,She did,Just say That," Louis informed,Carefully.
"Well,I am Done with This Charade," Mr. Van Ghoul shouted,as He put his Fists on his Hips,Before,Turning Around,Walking towards the Door.
The Second,Mayor Nettles heard That,She sat Up,Abruptly.
"But,You can't leave,We're Already sold Out,We're having Churros shipped in Special,The Newspaper's,Even sending Over Their Best Critic,Valdesh Helgenjew," Mayor Nettles notified,as She ran,After Him,For a Second,Before,Slowly,Walking after Him,While,She explained.
"Helgenjew? Oh,No. Not Him," Vincent responded,Fearfully,as He grasped his Head,Tightly,In Concern.
"Like,Who's Helgenjew?" Shaggy wondered.
"Good Question," Scooby and Louis added,In Unison,as They looked at Each Other,Both,Hearing the Other One say the Same Thing,Before,Looking Back to Vincent Van Ghoul.
"The Norwegian Me,We used to Go Up for the Same Parts,He hates Me,Because I always got the Roles over Him,Oh,He'll savage Me,He'll tear Me Apart," Mr. Van Ghoul explained,Terrifyingly,as He put his Hand on his Hip,And,Then,Put his Hand on his Head,While,He explained.
"No,He won't,You're Vincent Van Ghoul," Shaggy stated,Walking Up to Him,as He spoke.
"You can do This," Scooby declared,Ecstatically.
"But...The Mummy," Mr. Van Ghoul mentioned,as He,Still,Continued to Think about It.
"Don't Worry,Mr. Van Ghoul, Mystery Incorporated is on the Case," Fred announced.
"If There is a Mummy Friar,We'll get to the Bottom of It," Daphne said.
"And,Take Him Down," Louis added,Deciding,Quietly,That,Instead of sitting Next to Scooby,Doing Nothing,He was going to help the Other Three take Down the Mummy,Considering,His Girlfriend was One of the Members going to do It.
"You mean It?" Mr. Van Ghoul asked.
"Oh,It's On," Velma commented.
Later.
Back Down in the Basement
Fred,Daphne and Louis were,In the Basement,With Velma,Now,So,She wouldn't be Alone.
The Four of Them walked Further,Into the Basement,Towards the Golden Coffin,With Their Flashlights on Hand.
"That must be the Case,That,Used to Hold Friar Serra's Mummified Body," Daphne declared,as Both Her,Velma,Fred and Louis shined Their Flashlights on the Empty Coffin.
"But,Where did It Go?" Fred queried as He looked,Over to the Side,Trying to keep an Eye Out for the Mummy.
"Why don't You just ask the Mummy,Fred?" Louis suggested,Sarcastically.
Velma,Seeing Something Strange on the Coffin,Knelt Down,In Front of It,And,Began to touch a Substance,That was on it.
"Hmm,I Wonder,What This is," Velma muttered,as She had the Part of the Substance on her Finger,Before,Holding It Up to Her Nose,Sniffing It.
"Ew," Fred,Daphne and Louis murmured,as They turned Away,In Disgust.
"Appears Organic," Velma warned,as She looked Back Down,At the Substance,With a Raised Eyebrow.
After hearing,What Velma had Said,About the Substance,Fred,Daphne and Louis split Up,Across the Basement,For a Minute,To Look Around,For Anymore Clues.
Daphne and Louis,Seeing Some Large Crates Nearby,Walked and Rolled Up to Them,Shining Their Flashlights on the Crates.
"It's Over Here,Too," Daphne informed.
"It's on All of These Burlington Library Crates," Louis pointed Out,as Both Him and Her looked at the Top of the Crates,Seeing the Exact Same Substance.
"Hey,Daph,Maybe,You could Use Some of This Stuff to make a Friar Serra Costume for Shaggy," Fred suggested as He walked Over to Louis and Daphne,Before,Picking Up Some Small Brown Fabric,While,He talked to Her.
Suddenly.
Someone,From the Shadows,Roared,as They reached Their Hand Out,To Daphne,In an Attempt to grab Her.
Daphne,Not being Afraid at All,Decided to Defend Herself,Instead of,Running Away.
"Hiyah!" Daphne yelled Out,as She kicked the Figure,Right,In the Stomach,Making Them hit Their Back against the Wall,Before,Falling Down on Their Knees.
"Wow,That was Anticlimatic," Velma remarked,as Fred and Daphne helped the Figure Off of Their Knees,Into Velma's Flashlight,Revealing the Person to be...
"Doogle McGuiness?" All Four of Them called Out,At the Same Time,as He looked Around,From Side to Side,Suspiciously.
"You're the Mummy?" Fred asked,Confusingly.
"Of Course Not,I just wanted to get My Costume Back,It was Custom-Made to hide My Inherited Buttocks Dysplasia," Doogle explained,Snottingly,as He crossed his Arms,While,Looking Away from Them.
"Where's Mr. Lefranc?" Velma wondered,as She put Her Hand on Her Hip.
"Who Knows,He's Disappeared,And,What were You All talking About? Why would Shaggy need a Friar Serra Costume?" Doogle responded, Rudely,Not even showing any Care for the Director,as He asked Them,What They had been talking About Shaggy needing a Costume,While,Putting his Hands on his Hips,With a Raised Eyebrow.
"None ya Business," Louis retorted.
"Since You and Mr. Lefranc Left,We're helping Vincent Van Ghoul put on the Play without You," Velma replied.
"Or,We could just tell Him Exactly,What We were talking About,Good Communication,Vel," Louis whispered to Himself.
"Shaggy Rogers is playing My Role?" Doogle repeated,In Anger,Not liking the Fact,That,Shaggy was replacing Him.
"Yeah,Cause We just said It," Louis added.
"I am the Finest Actor in Crystal Cove,I cannot be Replaced,If You do This Play,You're Doomed," Doogle threatened,Ominously,as He pointed his Finger Out,In Fred,Daphne,Velma and Louis's Faces,Before,Storming Off,Out of the Basement.
Simultaneously.
Onstage.
Shaggy and Scooby were Already practicing Their Roles,While,Vincent Van Ghoul watched,To make Sure,It was Good Enough.
"Everybody,Listen to Me,The City,She is,Like,Uh,Falling into the Sea,Come with Us,If You want to Live," Shaggy explained,Practicing saying his Lines of Friar Serra,as He made All Kinds of Strange Poses and Motions with his Hands,To Emphasize Each Line.
"Uh,I'm a Donkey?" Scooby mentioned.
"Boooo!" George Avocados commented,From,One of the Back Seats,In the Theater,as He sat There,With a Bucket of Popcorn,While,He watched.
"Back to Work,Avocados!" Avocados's Boss commanded,Firmly,To Him,Popping Up Out of Nowhere,To tell Him,Getting Avocados's Attention.
Louis,Having just Finished his Investigating,From,Down in the Basement,Rolled,Over to the Front of the Stage,Where He saw Vincent Van Ghoul walking,Towards Shaggy and Scooby,To talk to Them.
"How's It Going?" Louis asked,Curiously,To Scooby and Shaggy.
"It's going Great,I think," Scooby replied,Happily,as He turned to Louis,With a Smile on his Face,Before,Telling Him,That,It was,What He thought.
"Don't Worry,Ridicule is All a Part of the Craft," Vincent Van Ghoul reassured,Putting his Hand on Shaggy's Shoulder,To reassure Them Both,as He,Then,Turned Away,Dramatically,When He Said,'The Craft'.
"Like,Right Now,I'm More Interested in Craft Services," Shaggy informed,as He looked to the Side,To see the Large Buffet Table of Food,Sitting There,Nice and Hot.
The Minute,Louis heard That,He hit his Hand on his Face,In Embarrassment,as He shook his Head.
"What do You say,Scoob? Break Time?" Shaggy suggested,Excitedly,Asking Scooby,Before,Going Over.
"Yeah. Yum!" Scooby agreed,Not even thinking about It,as Him and Shaggy turned Around,And,Walked Over to the Buffet Table.
"I'm Doomed," Vincent Van Ghoul muttered to Himself,as He watched Shaggy and Scooby walk Over to the Buffet Table.
"Yes,You are," Avocados added,Watching,From the Background,With his Broom in Hand,as He broke Out,Into Laughter,Mocking Vincent Van Ghoul,Cause of,Who,He was working with.
"Avocados!" Avocados's Boss called Out,Frustratedly,Passing by Him,Seeing Him,Still,Standing There,Doing Nothing.
George Avocados stopped Laughing and Smiling,as He frowned,And,Got Back to Work.
"Well,He got,What He deserved," Louis mumbled to Himself.
At the Same Time.
Scooby and Shaggy,Both had Their Faces,In the Buffet Food,as They were munching Hard on All the Food.
While,Scooby and Shaggy were Munching on the Food,Daphne,Fred and Velma walked Up to the Side of the Stage,Where They were Eating the Food,as Louis joined Them,By Their Side,To Discuss,What was going On.
Shaggy,Happening to Look Up,Grabbed a Chicken Drumstick,as He,Then,Looked Ahead,To see Fred,Daphne,Velma and Louis There.
"You find Anything?" Shaggy wondered,as He looked Down at Them,While,He asked,Before, Staying Silent,So,They could Answer.
"Just a Ham in a Friar's Costume,Who doesn't want the Show to Go On," Velma answered,Nonchalantly.
"Ah,Hmm," Scooby and Shaggy responded,as They looked at Each Other,With Confused Looks.
Just Then.
Scooby raised a Full Ham,Out,From Under the Table,as He held It Out to Shaggy,Offering Some to Him.
"Read My Mind,Buddy,Hoo Hoo!" Shaggy notified,as He Chuckled,Excitedly,Liking the Fact,That,He knew,What He was talking About.
"It doesn't make Sense,Why would Doogle sabotage This Show?" Daphne pointed Out,as She asked All of Them,The Million Dollar Question,Why would He,Particularly do It.
"Cause,He,Literally,Just threatened Us,Cause,He could actually,Secretly,Not even want the Part," Louis hinted at.
"Yeah,Yeah,Louis is Right,He's Always Right,He could be Pretending to want It,We should listen to Louis," Scooby added,With a Big Smile.
"Heh,I wouldn't say Always Right," Louis voiced.
"I would," Scooby answered,Proudly.
"Oh Boy," Daphne whispered,Worriedly.
The Minute,Louis heard That,He turned to Daphne,With a Irritated Face,Emphasizing to Her,How Much,It wasn't Easy talking to Him.
"Sorry," Daphne muttered.
"Nice Try,You Two,But,I don't think,Doogle McGuiness could be the Mummy,Considering,He wouldn't even waste a Minute,Looking into Crystal Cove History," Velma warned.
Suddenly.
All the Lights,In the Theater went Out,Surprising,The Six of Them,as They looked Up to the Lights.
"Huh?" They responded,In Confusion,as They looked Up at the Lights.
"Oh,Now What?" Vincent Van Ghoul complained,Angrily.
That was When.
A Large Green Glow shined,Through the Cracks,In the Theater Floor,Gleaming Out,Into the Sky,Getting the Gang and Vincent's Attention.
As the Green Glow shined Through,The Green Mist began to,Also,Slip through the Cracks,Onto the Theater Stage,Surrounding Them.
The Mummy,Then,Burst through the Floor,Out onto the Sky,Yelling Out to Them.
"You must not evoke the Memory of Nibiru!" The Mummy shouted,as He flew Up,Higher,Above the Stage,While,Fred,Daphne,Velma,Shaggy,Scooby,Louis,Avocados,Who was,Still Sitting in the Seat,And Vincent,All stared at the Flying Mummy,That was about to Attack Them.
"N-Nibiru?" Louis repeated,Out of Surprise,Remembering the Very Name,That,Might have,Possibly,Caused the Whole Mess with Scooby.
"The Telling of the Story must never be Heard,He will feed on It,Nibiru will Grow Stronger,And,You will never be able to stop Him," The Mummy explained,as He flew Higher and Higher,Above the Ground,Before,Flying Straight towards Velma.
Velma,Seeing This,Screamed,as She turned Around,And,Started to Make a Run for It,Before,It could get Her.
However.
The Mummy,Quickly,Flew towards Her,as He reached Out His Hands to grab Her.
"VELMA!" Louis called Out,Seeing his Girlfriend,In Danger,as He rolled,After Her,To stop It,From Hurting Her.
"Louis!" Scooby called,as He took Off,After Louis,To save Him,From getting Hurt by the Mummy.
The Mummy,About to grab Her by the Arms,Sped Up a Little More,To Snatch Her,But,Before,He could,Louis got,Right,In his Way,Stopping Him from getting Her.
"Hey,Leave My Girlfriend Alone,If You want Her,You're going to have to get through Me," Louis threatened,Firmly,as He looked at the Mummy,With a Serious Face.
"No,You don't Understand,End This Play,Before,It's Too Late!" The Mummy shouted,In Louis's Face,as He grabbed Louis,By his Shoulders,And,Threw Him,Out of his Way,Right,Into Scooby,Who had been,Trying to get to Louis,Before,He had gotten Hurt.
The Mummy,Then,Flew Over to Velma,as He picked Her Up by Her Arms,And,Flew Up Higher,Into the Sky,To fly Off with Her,While,Velma Screamed and Squirmed,Attempting to get Out of the Mummy's Grip.
The Mummy,Seeing Her,Trying to break Free,Just dropped Her,as Fred and Daphne ran,Towards,To Where She was going to Fall,Attempting to catch Her.
Velma fell Down,From the Sky,Directly,Onto Fred and Daphne,Making Them All Three fall to the Ground.
Louis and Scooby Groaned,In Pains,Still laying on the Stage Floor,From being Thrown,as They sat Upright,While,Grasping Their Heads,With Louis being in Scooby's Lap.
Shaggy,Seeing the Mummy,Still,Flying Around,Zoomed over to Scooby and Louis,as He clinged to Scooby,In Fear,With Scooby putting his Arms,Around Him Back.
"Danger! You are All in Horrible Danger!" The Mummy yelled as He flew Up,Towards the Theater Seats,Before,Moving his Eye,To,Where Avocados was.
Avocados,Noticing It looking at Him,Screamed,as He threw his Popcorn Up,Into the Air,And,Began to run Out of his Seat,Towards the Exit,Before,Accidentally,Tripping over his Broom.
Avocados jumped Back Up,Onto his Feet,as He continued to Run,To the Exit,With the Mummy flying,Close,Behind Him,Trying to hit Him.
Avocados ran Up,A Couple More Steps,Before,Running Out of Steps to Run On,as He knelt Down on One Knee,And,Turned to see the Mummy,Flying,Right,At Him.
The Mummy Slashed at Avocados's Face,Making Him Fly,Through the Air,Into the Upper Seats.
At the Same Time.
Back Onstage.
Vincent Van Ghoul Groaned Out,In Fear,as He hid Behind his Director's Chair,Looking Around for the Mummy.
"You will never be able to Stop Him!" The Mummy declared,as He sped Flied,Right,Back to the Stage,Towards Vincent Van Ghoul.
Just Then.
Louis rolled,In Front of Vincent's Director's Chair,To protect Vincent,From getting Hurt.
"Who's the Him,You keep talking About?" Louis interrogated,Firmly.
The Mummy,Not answering Him,Growled,as He speeded Up,To the Other Two,Getting Ready to Attack Louis and Vincent Van Ghoul.
However.
Fred,Who had ran Behind the Theater Curtains,To the Controls,Pulled a Lever Down,Which made All of the Lights on the Theater Stage turn On.
Louis and Vincent Van Ghoul closed Their Eyes,Turned Away,And,Covered Their Faces,Expecting to get Attacked,as,The Second,The Lights came On,The Mummy began to Disappear,Before,Phasing,Right,Through Vincent and Louis,Just before He had Disappeared, Like,He had never been There.
Once Vincent and Louis saw That,They Both Smiled,Brightly,Being Glad to see the Mummy Disappear.
"Like,What just Happened?" Shaggy questioned,Confusingly,as Him and Scooby,Still Clinged to Each Other.
"This Time,I have No Idea," Velma admitted,as Her and Daphne,Also,Clinged to Each Other,In Fear.
"Hey,Remember Doogle McGuiness did say,We were Doomed,If We tried to do the Play," Fred reminded.
"I suppose,It is Possible,That,It is Him,But,I didn't think,He was very into Special Effects," Louis pointed Out.
"No! It's That Critic,Valdesh Helgenjew,He's Out to ruin Me,Once and for All," Vincent Van Ghoul stated,as He put his Fists on his Hip.
"What about Mr. Lefranc? Nobody's seen Him since the Initial Attack," Daphne brought Up.
"One Thing's for Sure,If We're going to get to the Bottom of This,The Show must Go On," Velma explained,as She put Her Finger Up into the Air,To prove Her Point.
Scooby and Shaggy Whimpered,In Disappointment,The Minute,They heard That.
As the Gang Talked,Up Above,On the Top of the Stage,The Mummy stood There,Listening to Their Conversation,And,Watching Them.
~SDMI~
Later.
The Gang continued Their Work on the Upcoming Play,So,They could,Then,Set Up a Trap,For the Mummy.
Velma continued Typing Up the Script for the Play,Writing the Sentence,'The Whole Town is in Danger,Into Her Computer,While,Vincent Van Ghoul helped Scooby practice Donkey Noises,as He knelt Down on the Floor,On his Hands and Knees,To Show Him,How.
Vincent Brayed,While,Moving his Head,From Side to Side,Showing Scooby,How to make the Noise,as Scooby,Then,Began to make,The Same Noise,Them,Now,Both doing the Noise.
Fred and Daphne,Currently,Were sewing Together Shaggy's Friar Serra's Costume,With Two Sewing Machines,So,It would be Long Enough.
After That,Daphne and Louis,Both tightened Up,All the Loose Pieces of the Outfit,To make Sure,It fit,While, Vincent,Just watched.
Daphne,Then,Went Down to the Basement,With a Wooden Stick,as She found a Broken Off Door with a Crystal Doorknob.
Daphne grabbed the Crystal Doorknob,And,Put,It,Onto the Top of the Stick,Making It a Staff,Before,Heading Back Upstairs and Giving the Staff to Shaggy,Who,Gladly,Took It.
After Everything had been Done,Fred and Louis,Both pulled on a Large Rope,Which lifted a Large Banner,Higher and Higher,Into the Sky,So,Everyone could see It.
The Banner,Just being Finished,Hanged Up,Showed the Exact Title of the Play to be, 'The Haunted Historical Society presents "The Donkey That saved Crystal Cove" Directed by Vincent Van Ghoul'.
Other People,In Crystal Cove saw the Large Banner,as They looked Up at It,And,Smiled,Being,Immediately Interested.
Doogle,Also Happening to see the Banner,Looked at It with a Frown,as He Growled,Out of Frustration,Not liking the Fact,That,They were,Still,Putting on the Play.
Later on,That Night.
At the Theater Stage.
All of the Theater Seats were filled,With All of the Residents in Crystal Cove,All of Them,Sitting and Waiting for the Play to start.
Vincent,Fred,Daphne,Shaggy,Velma,Louis and Scooby,All moved the Curtain,Slightly,as They peaked Out,Into the Audience,To see All the Seats Full.
Vincent,Being the Only One staring at the Front of the Audience,Where He saw Valdesh Helgenjew.
"Hmm,There He is,Helgenjew," Vincent brought Up as He watched the Audience and Helgenjew look Up to the Front of the Stage,Waiting for It to Start.
"You got This,Mr. V,You can beat This," Louis reassured.
"Yeah,You got This," Scooby repeated.
"Oh,I'm So Nervous,I think,I'm going to Tinkle," Vincent warned,as He turned Around,And,Looked Away,Dramatically.
"No Time,You Guys are On in Five Minutes," Velma notified.
"She's got a Point,Mr. Van Ghoul," Fred added.
"Don't Worry about Him,You've got This," Louis voiced to Vincent.
"Yeah,Louis is Right,As He Always is," Scooby commented,Proudly.
The Second,Louis heard That,He Scoffed,In Frustration as He walked Off,Away from the Rest of Them.
"W-Was It Something I Said?" Scooby wondered,as He watched Louis walk Off,Away from Him,In Confusion.
"Well,Kind of. I mean,It's more like Something,You're doing and Saying,Not just Saying," Daphne stated,Carefully,Trying not to Say Too Much to Scooby,About,What was going On.
"Maybe,You should Go talk to Him," Velma suggested,Knowing,How Upset Louis was,as She suggested for Scooby,To Go Over and Talk to Him,So,They could get Over Their Issues.
"Yeah,I think,I will talk to Him,See,What's going On with My Buddy," Scooby pointed Out,as He walked Off,After Louis,To Go and Talk to Him.
"Don't take Too Long,The Show's gonna Start Soon,And,We really need to be Punctual," Vincent requested,Worriedly.
Meanwhile.
At the Way Back of the Theater Stage.
Louis sat There,In his Wheelchair,With It On Park at the Edge of the Backstage,Just looking Out,Into the Night Sky.
Scooby sniffed the Floor,All the Way,Over to the Way Back of the Stage,Following Louis's Scent,To the Edge of the Backstage.
Scooby walked Over to Louis's Side,as He looked Out,Into the Night Sky,As Well.
"I knew Something was going On with You,Today," Scooby mentioned,as He stayed staring at the Sky,Not,Even looking at Him,While,He talked.
"Oh,Yeah,H-How's That?" Louis wondered,Not even looking at Scooby,Either,as He continued to stare at the Sky.
"You've just seemed Distant and Agitated,Today,Just Not yourself,Like,You've had a Problem with Something,Or,Should I say,Someone,That Someone being Me," Scooby explained.
"You're Right,SD,I do have a Problem with You," Louis admitted.
"I knew It,I knew It,I knew,You had a Problem with Me,Look I know Everything hasn't been the Same since That Night," Scooby tried to Say,Before,Louis stopped Him.
"But,It's not just You," Louis pointed Out.
"Huh?" Scooby responded,Out of Confusion.
"That Night,Scooby,You Said Some Things,Things I did tell You,That Same Night,But,Those Things,There's been Some Feelings of Regret about What I've Done,For So Long to you,That Feeling,It hasn't left,Ever Since,That Night,I've thought,About,What You've Said about It,About Me just thinking about Myself,Thinking about,How You hated Me,So Much,That,You wanted to get Rid of Me,Even,How I didn't notice Your Feelings for Velma Sooner,When,Honestly,I should have," Louis elucidated,as He looked Down to the Ground,In Regret.
"Louis,Listen to Me,You can't notice Everything,That is Wrong with Me,You just can't,Just like I can't Always notice Everything Wrong about You,All We can do for Each Other,Is be Openly Honest to One Another,More Often,Look,The Only Reason,You never Knew about Me liking Her is,Because I never Openly showed It,I didn't want You to Know,So,Gradually,I made Sure,You didn't Know," Scooby said,as He turned to Face Louis.
"Why? What would have been the Problem with me Knowing? I could've just Backed Off,Or,I could have told Velma,That,You liked Her,And,She might have Gone with You," Louis interrogated,as He pointed Out to Scooby,How He could have Helped,Before,Turning to face Scooby,While,He asked Him.
"Because,I didn't want to Hurt You,Louis,I didn't want to Upset You,I wanted,I wanted to make You Happy,I thought,If I couldn't have Her,At Least,you could,Besides,Velma,Clearly,Didn't have the Same Feelings that I had for Her," Scooby admitted.
"SD,You could never Upset Me,By telling Me,How You're Feeling,Cause,When You're Happy,I am Happy,It's,Just the Same with Velma,You Two are Way Too Special in My Life,For Me to just give Up,You will Always be My Friend,Scooby-Doo," Louis informed as He put his Hand on Scooby's Shoulder,To make Him feel Better.
"Louis,I'm Sorry,I made You feel That Way,I really Am,I didn't mean To,My Evil Self might have tried to,But,I did not,As a Matter of a Fact,I was the One being Greedy,I was the Jerk in That Moment,I have Nova,And,Nova is the Most Wonderful Girlfriend,That,I could Ever Have,I should never have gone after Another Girl,When I Already have the Most Perfect Dog,Ever," Scooby explained as He put his Paw on Louis's Hand,That,Sat on his Shoulder.
"Scooby,I'll never hold Something like That against You,I promise," Louis vowed,as He removed his Hand,From off of Scooby's Shoulder.
"Th-Then,Why are You Mad at Me?" Scooby wondered,Out of Confusion,Not getting,Why Louis had Stormed Off,Angrily.
"Because,You keep Agreeing with Everything,That,I say,It's Weird,We never agree on Everything,Well,Technically,No One does,But,Still,It's Odd,How You keep agreeing with me," Louis lashed Out,Frustratedly.
"O-Oh,So,That's Why,You walked Off,Like That,Louis,I didn't mean to annoy you,I was just trying to be on Good Terms,Again,Like We used to,I wanted to Go Back to How Things used to be," Scooby realized,Before,Beginning to explain to Louis,Why He was doing It.
"Heh,I Guess,We Both haven't really Done a Good Job at Trying to not have Issues with Each Other,Huh?" Louis brought Up.
"No,I Suppose Not," Scooby replied.
"I guess,All We can do is Try to do Better,Huh? I know,We haven't been Really doing a Good Job at It," Louis hinted at.
"Nah,I think,We're gonna be Good,From Now On,Lou,We got This,We're Best Friends,I think,We're Both gonna be Fine with One Another," Scooby pointed out.
"Well,If You believe So,So do I," Louis declared.
"Atta Boy," Scooby replied,With a Smug Grin,as He held Out his Fist,For Him and Louis to do a Fist Bump.
Louis Smiled Back at Him,as He hit his Fist,Into Scooby's,Making Them do a Fist Bump,Before,Turning Around to head Back to the Others.
"So,Did My Status of Your Friends List go Down to Friend instead of Best Friend?" Scooby wondered,Curiously,Walking alongside Louis,as They headed towards the Front of the Stage.
"No,No,You're still My One and Only Best Friend,Scooby," Louis admitted to Him.
"Ooh,I Hope,I can stay in That Status," Scooby added,Jokingly.
The Minute,Louis heard That,Beginning to Chuckle,as Him and Scooby Walked and Rolled,Over to behind the Curtain,Where They had been,Previously.
Just Then.
All of the Theater Stage Lights turned Off,Showing the Whole Audience,That,The Play was Starting,When They saw That,The Audience,All started Clapping,Loudly,In Excitement.
Once Helgenjew saw the Lights turn Off,He raised his Notebook and Pen,That,Sat in his Hand,as He prepared to start Rating the Show,Expecting a Bad Performance,From Vincent Van Ghoul.
That was When.
The Lights,Suddenly,Came Back On,as a Mysterious Person raised Out,From the Floor,Onto the Stage.
Revealing the Person to be...Vincent Van Ghoul,Covered in a Multiple Long Strands of Seaweed,as He Smiled,Wickedly.
"Now,The Hour has Come to be,The Earth and Ocean don't Agree,The Fault has Split,Here Comes the Flood,To Destructify Y'all's Neighborhood,No Time to Run,There's Only Panic,While,The Mission falls into the Atlantic," Vincent Van Ghoul said,as He did Different Poses,Dramatically,To go with,What He was Saying,Before,Smiling Confidently,When He finished.
"It's the Pacific,You Hack!" A Member of the Front Audience corrected,Rudely.
Once Everyone heard That,They All broke Out,Into Laughter,Laughing at Vincent Van Ghoul's Mistake,Repeatedly.
"Um,Uh,Ummm," Vincent stuttered,Trying to find Out,What to do Next,as He listened to Them All laugh at Him.
In That Second,Something came to Vincent's Mind to do,as He,Immediately,Decided to do it.
Vincent Van Ghoul broke Out,Into Laughter,Evil Laughter,as He Closed his Eyes,And,Continued to Laugh,Wickedly,While,Moving his Arm Out to the Front of the Stage,Before,The Stage Lights turned Off,For the Dramatic Effect.
While,The Lights were Off,Vincent walked Off the Stage,as Shaggy and Scooby,In Their Theater Costumes walked Up to the Front of the Stage,About to begin.
Just Then.
Scooby and Shaggy began to move Their Bodies,From Side to Side,In a Rhythm,as the Stage Lights came On,And,Loud Drums started to make a Beat,Before,Beginning to Sing.
"So,Like,We're Sink-i-ing" Shaggy sang,Off Key.
"Into the Sea,Because I'm Porto, A Super Donkey,The Earthquake's like a Sieve,So,Come with Me,If You want to Live," Scooby caroled,Horribly.
"Uh..." Helgenjew murmured to Himself,With a Disgusted Look on his Face,as He wrote on His Notepad,Rapidly,While,He watched.
Behind Helgenjew,A Couple looked at Each Other,With Ridiculed Looks on Their Faces,Not believing,What They were Hearing.
"Oh Boy,This is Pretty Bad," Louis muttered to Himself,From Backstage,as He watched Shaggy and Scooby perform.
"Like,The Only One to save You are My Donkey and Me," Shaggy sang,as Him and Scooby continued to move Their Bodies,From Side to Side.
As They Danced,The Whole Audience watched with Bored Faces,All of Them,Not liking,What They were Seeing.
Suddenly.
The Stage Lights began to Flicker,Getting the Attention of the Audience,Before,The Lights went Completely Out,For a Second,Before,Coming Back Up On,as the Bright Green Mist began to Come Out of a Stage Floor Raiser.
The Mummy,Getting Ready to Attack,Appeared in the Mist,as He revealed his Look,To the Whole Audience,Alarming Them.
The Mummy of Friar Serra,Then,Turned Around,To Face Shaggy and Scooby,So,He could talk to Them.
"I warned You,Not to tell My Story," The Mummy pointed Out,While,Pointing at Them,as He charged,Directly,Towards Shaggy and Scooby,To Attack Them.
The Mummy slashed his Hands,At Shaggy and Scooby's Heads,Alerting Both of Them,as Shaggy and Scooby ducked,And,Moved Out of the Mummy's Way,Making It slash the Doors of the Church Prop,Instead.
The Mummy,Now,Furious,Snarled,Before,Turning Around,To Look at the Audience,as the Audience Gasped,In Horror,Seeing the Ugly Mummy look at Them.
At the Same Time.
Helgenjew was watching the Show,While,Writing his Notes in the Notepad,Not taking One Look at his Notepad,Just staring at the Show,With Interest.
The Mummy,Seeing Scooby,Right,Next Him,From the Corner of his Eyes,Turned to Him,With Anger,About to hurt Him.
"Uh,Oh," Scooby muttered,Seeing Him,Looking at Him,Getting Ready to Attack,as He turned Around,And,Began to Run towards the Backstage.
The Mummy,Didn't,Even let Scooby get Far,as He,Quickly,Flew at Him,Rapidly.
"Scooby!" Louis called Out,as He rolled Out,From,Behind the Stage,Towards Scooby,To save Him.
The Mummy Slashed Scooby,In the Face,as Scooby flew,Through the Air,Directly,Into Louis,Making Louis's Wheelchair fall Backwards,And,Scooby and Louis fall,Onto the Ground.
"Ouch! Thanks for Catching Me,Buddy," Scooby whispered to Louis,as He laid on Top of Louis,Who laid on the Floor.
"No Problem," Louis muttered,Painfully,as He just laid There,With Scooby on Top of Him,Feeling the Pain of the Attack.
The Mummy,Then,Ran towards Shaggy,Who was making a Dash for the Edge of the Stage,as Shaggy jumped Off the Stage,Towards the Audience,With the Mummy jumping Off,And,Following behind Him,While,Growling.
Shaggy Screamed as He ran Past the First Five Rows of Seats,Where People were sitting,With the Mummy,Still,Following Close behind Him,Before,Shaggy ran,Into the Sixth Row of the Audience,Running across the Row,Towards the Exit.
"Lookout!" Shaggy shouted,While,Running,Through the Row,Past an Elderly Couple,as the Elderly Man lifted his Feet Up,When Shaggy ran past Him.
The Elderly Man watched Him run Past Him,Further Down the Row,as He looked at Shaggy with an Angry Face,Before,The Mummy,Slashed the Man Off his Seat,Onto the Floor.
Shaggy ran Down the Rest of the Row,as the People lifted Their Feet,For Him to Pass,Then,Put Them Back Down.
The People,Then,Saw the Mummy coming Their Way,as They lifted Their Feet,Once Again,So,It didn't hit Them.
A Man,Just having grabbed his Box of Popcorn,Walked towards his Seat,In That Same Row,About to Start watching the Show,Before,Shaggy and the Mummy ran Out of the Row,Past Him,Into the Next Row,The Mummy,Shoving the Man to Floor,Making Him drop his Popcorn,And,Fall Backwards,While,Screaming.
Shaggy,Still Screaming,Looked Behind Him to See,The Mummy,Still,Running after Him,While,Growling and Roaring,as Shaggy kept the Scepter,That,Daphne had made in his Hand,Held Up High.
Shaggy turned Around,To look in Front of Him,as He saw Something,That,He could Throw at the Mummy to Slow Him Down.
"Aah! Take That!" Shaggy yelled,as He threw a Man's Bucket of Popcorn,At the Mummy's Face.
"Hey!" The Man complained,Angrily,Not liking,That,Shaggy had taken his Popcorn,And,Thrown It at the Thing,as the Popcorn hit the Mummy,Right,In the Face.
The Mummy,Not being Phased by It at All,Just kept Running at Him,Trying to take him Out.
Next,Shaggy grabbed Another Man's Drink,And,Threw It at Friar Serra,But,Even That did Nothing,It just spilled All over Him and He kept Running towards Him.
More People saw Shaggy and the Mummy coming Their Way,as They lifted Their Feet,And,Watched Both of Them run Past.
Shaggy,Seeing Much More Stuff to Throw,Began to Throw All He could,At the Friar.
He threw Someone's Box of Candy Bars,At Him,Friar Serra,Moved his Head Out of the Way,He threw a Can of Soda,At Him,And,He just ducked his Head,Making the Can miss,As Well.
Shaggy grabbed Another Couple's Pack of Churros,as He ran Out of That Row,Back Over to the Stage,Where Scooby and Louis were Already Gone.
Friar Serra followed Shaggy Out of the Row,as He sped Up,Right,At Shaggy,Quickly,Catching Up to Him,While,Shaggy looked Behind Him,To see the Mummy,Catching Up to Him.
In the Next Second,The Friar caught Up,as He Upper-Punched Shaggy,In the Stomach,Forcing Shaggy to Fly,Through the Air,Towards the Stage.
Shaggy Screamed,Loudly,as the Whole Audience Watched and Gasped.
Shaggy landed,Right on his Side,On the Stage,For a Minute,Before,Bouncing off of his Side,Onto his Back,A Few Inches Away.
The Mummy,Then,Leaped,From near the Audience Seats,Over to the Stage,as He landed a Few Feet,Away,From Shaggy,
Friar Serra,Seeing Shaggy,Still,Laying Down on the Ground,With the Churros and Scepter,In Hand,Jumped Up,Once More,About to pounce on Him.
The Mummy Snarled as He spun,While,He flew,Through the Air,And,Lifted his Hand,To Slash Him.
Shaggy Screamed,as He rolled,Across the Floor,Away from the Mummy's Path,Making the the Mummy hit the Stage Floor,Smashing a Hole,Into It.
Scooby and Louis,Tired of Watching Shaggy get punched to Bits,Decided to Try and Help Him.
"Come On,SD," Louis requested,Firmly,as Him and Scooby walked Out,From,Behind the Church Prop.
"Guys,Where are You going?" Velma wondered,Quietly.
"To make Sure It works,And,That,That Thing doesn't kill Him," Louis answered,as Him and Scooby were,About to do Something.
The Audience,Still Watching with Interest,Gasped and Murmured,as the Smoke cleared,Showing the Mummy of Friar Serra,Beginning to Walk towards Shaggy,With Shaggy laying on his Stomach,Watching Him approach Him.
The Mummy walked Closer and Closer to Shaggy,Getting Ready to finish Him Off,as Shaggy prepared to finish Off the Plan.
"Churro!" Shaggy shouted Out,as He threw the Bunch of Churros,Out of his Hands,Flying through the Air,Directly,Into the Friar's Mouth.
The Mummy Screeched,Muffledly,as He stumbled Backwards,And,Began to Choke,Raising his Hands,Into the Air,While,He did.
Louis and Scooby saw the Plan,Beginning to Work,as They Both stopped,Approaching the Mummy,And,Watched the Plan take Effect.
"Now!" Velma commanded,as She peeked Out,From,Behind the Church Prop,To see the Mummy Occupied,With,Trying to blow the Churros,Out of his Mouth.
Fred,Hearing the Command,Pulled on the Rope,That,He had been Holding,Which was,What held the Top of Church,There,Pulling the Top of It Down.
As the Top of the Church came Down,It changed,Into a Box-Like Cage,So,When the Mummy,Finally,Forced the Churros,Out of his Mouth,The Cage dropped,Right,On Him,And,Blocked his Way Out.
The Minute,Everyone saw That,It had been Captured,The Whole Audience Cheered and Applauded,In Excitement,Before,Standing Up,Abruptly,While,Continuing to Cheer.
Now,That,The Mummy had been Caught,Mystery Incorporated walked Out,From,Behind the Church,Over to the Fake Friar,Who was,Currently,Trying to break Out of the Cage,By shaking It,Heavily.
"Now,Let's See,Who This Ghostly Monk Really is," Fred stated,as He reached Out to pull Off his Mask.
"I thought,He was a Mummy,Not a Ghost," Louis pointed Out.
"Nah,Don't Bother correcting Him,Louie,He'd never Listen," Scooby added,as He put his Paw,On Louis's Head,And,Messed Up his Hair.
Fred,Then,Pulled Off the Monk's Mask,Revealing It to be...
"George Avocados?" The Gang announced,Surprisingly.
"That's Avac-Ah,Oh,Forget It," George Avocados was about to Correct,Before,Just deciding to not,Even Bother.
"About Time,You gave Up,Trying to Correct Us," Louis instigated.
"Uh! That's Right,It is Me," George Avocados admitted.
"Yes! Finally! I knew,You'd be the Villain,Eventually," Fred cheered,Excitedly.
Helgenjew,Who was sitting,In his Seat,Was,Still,Staring at the Show,With Interest,While,Rapidly,Writing his Notes Down,On the Notepad.
Vincent Van Ghoul,Now,Up on the Stage,Covered in the Seaweed,Bit his Nails,Nervously,as He listened to Them Talk.
"Alright,You got Me,And,I suppose,You're Wondering,After,So Many Prior Misdirects,Why Now." George guessed.
"Actually,No,Not Really,We,Kind Of,Always knew,You were Evil," Daphne confessed,Awkwardly.
"Hmmph! Okay,Fine,Then,My Tale should not Surprise." George said.
"It,Probably,Won't," Louis commented.
"It All began,After I failed in Politics,I had No Choice,But,To Go into the Family Business-Farming Avocados,Everything was going,So Well,Until,You Mystery Brats blew Up My Crops,I,Then,Tried My Hand at Fortune-Telling,But,When That Endeavor failed...I fell Back on the Avacados Legacy of Stealing Other People's Things,I located the Avacados Diamond stolen by my Father,Turns Out,It Actually was Disguised as a Doorknob-Just Not a Door in Crystal Cove,But,On a Door at the Burlington Library,When I found Out,It was,Among the Artifacts sent Here,For the Production,I took a Job as a Janitor,I needed Everyone to stay Clear of the Basement to give Me Time to Look,So,I hid the Body of Friar Serra in a Closet,And,Assumed his Identity,Knowing This Town's Gullibility,I knew a Ghost Story would give Me Room to Hunt," Avocados explained,Firmly.
"Wow,That was a Long Story," Louis mentioned.
"And,I would have Succeeded,Too,If It weren't for Vincent Van Ghoul," Avocados admitted.
"Moi?" Vincent Van Ghoul replied,In Surprise.
"So,The Brown Residue,That was Left Behind," Velma was about to Say,Before,George Avocados interrupted Her.
"That's Right,Guacamole!" George Avocados announced.
"Boy,Is That Ironic?" Scooby remarked.
"Now,I want My Diamond," George shouted,as He tried to grab the Scepter,From Shaggy.
However.
Before,George could grab It,Daphne took It,From Shaggy,To Examine It,Making Him grab Nothing.
"Let Me see Something,He's Right,This Crystal is the Diamond," Daphne declared.
"But,Like,Hold On,If You were the Friar,How did You appear at the Rehearsals?" Shaggy brought Up,In Confusion.
"Shaggy's Right,He was There,When It Happened," Louis pointed Out.
"I didn't,I assumed,That was You Meddling Kids,Trying to trick Me into Revealing Myself," Avocados answered.
"Huh?" The Gang responded,Confusingly,as They All looked at Each Other,With Surprised Looks.
Later.
The Sheriff and his Deputies had Arrived,On the Scene,To Arrest George Avocados,as They cuffed Him,And,Walked Him Down to the Sheriff's Car,In Order to take Him to Jail.
Just Then.
Helgenjew walked Up the Stairs,Directly,Towards Vincent Van Ghoul,With a Serious Look on his Face.
"Oh,Here Comes Helgenjew,I'm Ruined," Vincent Van Ghoul warned,Turning,To See,Helgenjew approaching Him,as He hid Behind Fred,In Fear,While,Whimpering.
Vincent Van Ghoul,Expecting a Bad Review,Closed his Eyes,Preparing to hear the Worst.
"That was the Single Greatest Piece of Absurdist Meta Theater,That,I have Ever Witnessed," Helgenjew confessed to Vincent Van Ghoul,With a Raised Eyebrow.
The Minute,Vincent Van Ghoul heard That,He pushed Fred,Out of his Way,So,He could talk to Him,And,Take All the Credit.
"Oh! Oh,Thank You,Sir,You know,It came to Me,In a Flash,An Inspiration touched by a Muse..." Vincent Van Ghoul thanked,Politely,as He shook Helgenjew's Hand,Profusely,While,Tears began to Poor Down his Cheeks.
Once Helgenjew saw That,He Smiled,As Well,as He shook Vincent Van Ghoul's Hand,With Both of his Hands.
"Well,I saw This Coming," Louis mumbled to the Gang,Firmly.
"Eh,Let Him have This One,Lou," Scooby requested,as He put his Arm,Around Louis,as They All watched Helgenjew and Vincent Van Ghoul talk to One Another.
Later.
Down in the Basement.
Mystery Incorporated was Cleaning Everything Up,So,They could Head Home,To Bed.
"Well,Gang,I think,We can put This Mystery to Bed," Daphne declared,as She set a Box Down,On a Large Crate,Before,Turning Around to face the Gang.
"Like,Yeah,And,I can't Wait to get All This Stuff put Away,So,We can Go Celebrate..." Shaggy stated,as Him,Velma,Fred and Louis,All set Boxes Down,Where They were supposed to Go.
"At the Clam Cabin!" Scooby and Shaggy announced,In Excitement,as They Both did a High Five.
Velma and Louis Walked and Rolled Past Scooby and Shaggy,as They walked Past Fred,Before,Seeing Something Odd.
"What the What?" Velma responded,In Surprise.
"That's Weird,How'd He get Back in There?" Fred wondered.
"Th-That's a Good Question," Louis said,as He saw Scooby,Just Then,Cling to Him,In Fear.
"Hoo-Hoo! No,No,Like,Let's not Wait Around,To find Out," Shaggy suggested.
That was When.
The Lights flickered,Before,Going Out,as They All looked Up to the Ceiling,To see the Lights Out.
Suddenly.
A Large Green Light shined,From,In Front of Them,as They turned to,Look,In Front of Them,Seeing the Same Green Mist fill Up the Coffin.
The Coffin Door,Then,Opened,as They began to hear a Familiar Voice,From Inside It.
Once It began to Speak,They watched the Real Mummy of Friar Serra,Rise Out of the Coffin,To talk to Them.
"You are,Still in Danger,The Story of Crystal Cove is a Lie,The Donkey never tried to help save the Town,But,To Destroy It," The Mummy informed.
"What? But,Why? Why would He do That?" Louis questioned.
"There were 4 of Us and Porto in the Fraternitas Mysterium,A Group of Mystery-Solving Friars,We encountered a Conquistador,He told Us a Tale of Great Evil,Before,His Madness got the Best of Him,And,He vanished in the Night,He left Behind,Two Oddly-Marked Disc Pieces,We,Quickly,Became Obsessed with the Pieces,We realized,That,There was an Evil at Work,We attempted to Destroy the Pieces,To Rid Us and the Town,Of Evil,But,The Evil would not Allow Us,The Evil,It manipulated Porto,Porto set Out to destroy the Town,He planted Loads of TNT,Underneath the Town,And,Took the Pieces with Him,We chased Porto to the Alligator-Infested Swamps,Outside of Town,Before,Porto was dragged Away,By the Alligators,But,Not before I was able to retrieve the One Piece He took,Just Then,The Explosives went Off,The Other Piece,Thankfully was Lost at the Bottom of the Ocean,When Crystal Cove sank,Into the Sea,It was Up to Me,Now,To Hide the Last Piece,And,That,I did,In a Large Old Cheese," The Mummy elucidated.
"Wh-What Happened to the Other Three?" Louis questioned.
"They did not make It,Beware,Nibiru is Coming,This has All Happened Before,It begins with the Animal,Always the Animal," The Mummy of Friar Serra notified,as He pointed,Directly,To Scooby,Who was,Still,Clinging to Louis,In Terror.
"Heed the Warning of the Alligators,The Dog dies!" The Mummy declared,as It crumbled to Dust,And,Disappeared,Like,He had never been There.
Fred and Daphne and Shaggy and Velma,Now,Also,Clinging to One Another,Stood There with Terrified Looks on Their Faces,as They stared at,Where the Mummy,Used to be.
"He Dies?" Louis responded,In Concern,as He turned to Scooby,Who was,No Longer,Clinging to Him,Just looking Down at the Floor,With a Scared Look on his Face.
"The D-Dog Dies? Is He talking about Me?" Scooby repeated,as He asked Louis and the Rest of the Gang,If the Mummy was Really talking about Him.
"Not if I can Help It,Scooby-Doo,Not if I can help It," Louis reassured,as He put his Arms,Around Scooby,And,Hugged Him,Tightly,Comforting Him.
Scooby,Having his Arms,Around Louis,As Well,Began to Shake,While,Louis,Just looked to the Ceiling,as Louis and the Rest of the Gang,All tried to wrap Their Heads,Around,What just Happened.
