Two years later......

"I can't take it!" A red oranged haired girl shouted as she went to call someone on her cell phone making her to cry quietly until she heard the voice she needed to calm her down.

"Hello? Daphne?" Daphne was badly crying making him shocked.

"Shaggy and Scooby left the gang! Why they leave?! I don't get it!" Daphne was crying everything out making Starchild to be shocked until a blond haired boy took the phone to let a red browned haired girl to calm down Daphne.

"Starchild, it's me. Fred. I had to take the phone away from her since she looks like she was going to destroy it with her bare hands."

"Fred. What is going on? Why was Daphne crying? What's this about Shaggy and Scooby had left the gang?" Space Man asked.

"Speaker phone I believe."

"Yeah, Starchild thinks it's right we all hear it." Demon said as Fred nods his head even though they can't see him.

"Good thing too cause we need your help. Badly. DAPHNE BLAKES! YOU PUT DOWN THAT KINFE THIS MINUTE! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO START CUTTING YOURSELF! VELMA! STOP HER! Daphne is having a hard time getting over this."

"We can hear that. She tries to cut herself often?"

"Only if she remembers that Shaggy and Scooby isn't with the gang since they left two years ago."

"No note?" Demon was a bit shocked that they didn't leave a note.

"Oh, no. They did, but that's the thing. They had some of the letters in the letter Capitalized and we don't know why. I still have the letter. Maybe we can go over to KISS World and figure this out together?"

"Fine by us. How long will it take you to get here? We're already been here for two months. Our manager is selling figure collection dolls of us as they sell faster with new posters as well, too." Starchild said as Fred thinks.

"The last town we were in is forty KM away from KISS World and we're ten KMs away from KISS World, so I think it might take us three maybe four to six days I think. Daphne will want to stay at a hotel and not sleep in the van. Think I should change the van to something else?"

"No, keep it the way it is. We'll see you guys here. The guard will bring you to the stage since we are doing a concert in seven days. Make sure to show us the letter."

"Got it. This might be a clue, don't know, but the capitalized letters were in red. I took a small bit to see if I figure out what type of marker it was, it was done in blood."

"BLOOD?!"

"Yeah. The only think I can think of that can do that is a quill you drip into ink. Smart move, but not right to use your own blood as the ink. Think it's a coded message to us?"

"Can't tell without seeing the letter. But it might. Come as soon as Daphne is calm."

"How much do you want to bet she will drop on to Starchild and cry her eyes out on his chest?"

"No deal."

"I know she's going to do that."

"Better lock the two in a room."

"GUYS! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO THINK OF LOCKING US UP IN A ROOM! SHE'S HEART BROKEN THAT SHAGGY AND SCOOBY LEFT THE GANG!" Starchild shouted at his band members making Fred to laugh in his head.

"See you guys later."

"Bye Fred." Fred hanged up and gave the phone back to Daphne.

"Guess what? KISS wants us at KISS World. For free. We need to leave if we want to get there in time. They are going to be doing a concert in seven days. We have backstage free pass to go backstage." That calmed Daphne down and they packed.

"I told them that it would take four to six days to get to KISS World. We might need to switch drivers as the rest sleep. I know you don't like sleeping in the van Daphne, but it's the only way." Daphne nods before they left the hotel and it took them only four and a half days to get to KISS World and the guards had brought them to the stage where Daphne jumps onto Starchild's chest and started to cry.

"It's O.K. It's O.K. Fred wanted us to help figure this out." Starchild said as he hugs Daphne.

"Let's go backstage. We have a high table and chairs you guys can sit on. Starchild and Daphne will be getting the couch since I doubt she would like to see the letter." Daphne nods her head as they all move backstage with Starchild laying down with Daphne on his chest pass out.

"Daphne is passed out, you guys. Best to leave her be."

"Right. This is the letter. I made copies so each of you can have one. The blood has been dried for two years." Each one had gotten the letter and they saw the red letters.

"Hold on." Starchild said an hour later with Daphne awake and saw the letter.

"Why did Shaggy write 'HIM' in a shaking hand style?" Daphne gasps as she shakes badly making Starchild to sit up and hold her.

"Not him. NOT HIM!"

"Oh shit!"

"Why is he back in Crystal Cove?!"

"Whoa, what are you guys saying? Who's he?" Cat Man was confuse while Starchild tries to calm down Daphne.

"Ryan Corner. He likes to abuse and tortured his girl and boyfriends a lot. If he is back, then he wants Daphne, but my guess Shaggy offered himself in to keep her safe. We were still in high school the four of us. Scooby had to stay at Shaggy's place during that time. Shaggy made sure Daphne was safe and was placed in the hospital twenty times by Ryan himself." KISS was shocked as Shaggy had done that for Daphne.

"If Ryan is back in town, Shaggy saw a letter for Daphne from Ryan and left this note as he went to keep her safe. We need to De-code it fast." They saw the letter again and saw the red capitalized letters.

DeaR gang,

P.S,

IF you guys went to KISS to De-Code this message, I might of changed too much and might not come back to solve mysteries any more.

Everyone was shocked at the letter before Daphne looked at Fred with pure shock and confusing.

"You love me, Fred? I...Why...Why didn't you say anything?" Fred looks away.

"I...Didn't want to make you unhappy. Starchild is the better choose for you anyway. He can make you more happy than I can." Starchild can see Fred really loves her, but letting her go isn't right and he can see Daphne doesn't know what to do.

"Um, guys? Sorry to break this up, but why is some of the words capitalized in the letter?" Cat Man said making them to see there was. Velma was quick to take a pad from Demon and pen of Cat Man and wrote down the letters on it.

"Maybe he's trying to tell us Ryan is back in town? We need to make a sentences with the red letters and words."

"Point taking, but how? I'm not that good with solving riddles. That's you Velma." Velma saw how some words don't add up and spaced them out.

YOU GANG BREAK IT COME BACK DAPHNE LOVES SEE ASK ON DATE I KNOW HIM FLESH BLOOD

Then she saw Ryan's name.

RYAN CORNER

"Whoa."

"Velma was the smartest girls in the whole school. Most riddles we needed to solve for the mysteries were done by her." Space Man was impress. Velma then saw a bit of the message.

RYAN CORNER IS BACK

Then she saw more words.

CRYSTAL COVE IN TOWN AFTER HIDE HER STARCHID QUICK NEED AND

Then it hit her making her hands to shake and Space Man was worried as she was shaking badly.

"Velma?"

"Hide Daphne....Hide....Shaggy!"

"Velma! What's wrong?!" Not answering, she wrote the message out for them all to see.

RYAN CORNER IS BACK IN CRYSTAL COVER AND IS AFTER DAPHNE! YOU, THE GANG, NEED TO BE QUICK AND HIDE HER FROM HIM WITH STARCHILD IN KISS WORLD AND DON'T LET HER LEAVE HIS SITE! RYAN IS GOING TO BE LEAVE NOTHING, BUT FLESH AND BLOOD BEHIND! HE'S GOING TO BREAK DAPHNE! IT'S NOT SAFE FOR HER! HE'LL KILL HER! I'M GIVING MYSELF UP LIKE I DID BEFORE! HOPE I SURVIVE TO ASK CAT MAN ON A DATE! LOVE SHAGGY AND SCOOBY!

Daphne let out a loud scream as she covers her ears making Starchild to hold her close to his chest. Fred was shocked before he had falling into a chair with Velma being held by Space Man and Demon is shaking with anger at this guy. Cat Man needs to know if Shaggy is alright as he had felt funny around him during the mystery two years ago.

"Cat Man, Demon and Space Man! You guys will go check on Shaggy and Scooby! The others are going to be staying with me in the apartment! I'm not leaving them out of my site!" Starchild shouted the order making all three to leave fast as the others went to the apartment with Daphne in Starchild's arms still.
