The explosion came from the beach as the same voodoo guy that tricked Daphne and Tony into the castle looks like he's working on something with a big pot.

"I guess that was the wrong ingredient?" The voodoo man said confused itching his head.

As everybody was about to go and talk to the Voodoo man Daphne stopped them.

"Wait, I know how to handle this guy." She said putting her arm out stopping everybody who looked at her "hey you! What are you doing?! She walked towards The Voodoo man as everybody else watched her as Tony rolled his eyes in amusement.

"Yes. That's masterful." Velma said sarcastically standing between Jacob and Jane as the others were behind her while Charlie was sitting in front of Jane.

"I'm doing a voodoo ritual, if you don't mind, thank you." The Voodoo man said to Daphne as Tony walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder in curiously "I need to get the right ingredients, The only way to protect myself is by blessing this dead Arnouki beast." He showed a creepy creature head doll thing making Daphne flinched back as Jane moved back towards Shaggy holding his arm "I've got a feeling they're about to perform their evil Darkopalypse ritual."

"Darkopalypse Ritual?" Jacob asked confused as he and Velma exchanged looks as Charlie looked confused as Velma gently took the Daemon Ritus from Shaggy.

"That's right."

"That's what the ancient text describes." Velma said as she opened the Daemon Ritus making the Voodoo man freaked out.

"Hey! Don't open that!" He went down holding the beast kind creature thing in front of him fearfully as he watched.

"They use the protoplasm in the vat as an energy source." Velma started.

"And the leader needs to absorb a purely good soul to complete the ritual." Jacob finished looking over Velma's shoulder as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Aw nerd love." Jane teased as Charlie snickered while Jacob glared at her while Velma blushed at this holding the Daemon Ritus as she stood close to Jacob.

"Jane, really!"

"Anyways, Legend has it, once the ritual is performed the creatures will rule on Earth for 10,000 years." The Voodoo man said as Velma eyed Jane who smiled at her while holding Shaggy's hand that's why I have this in my house."As the Voodoo man held out the beast creature "too protect myself."

"You have another one of those?" Shaggy asked as the Voodoo man gave him a strange look before walking back to his house.

"Those creatures are taking all over the world?" Daphne asked a little scared "that's so mean!"

"Well, they are bad guys." Tony shrugged as Daphne gave him a stern look that says duh.

"They can't do the ritual without a pure human soul." Fred said.

"Right, where in the world will they get one of those?" Tony asked.

"We didn't say human." Jacob said as he and Velma stood next to each other as Velma held the Daemon Ritus.

"Oh boy." Shaggy said as Jane held his hand in comfort while Charlie's eyes winded at the news about this.

Meanwhile Scooby was trapped in the pyramid cage the same one that Daphne and Tony found the Daemon Ritus as Scooby whimpered he suddenly looked up as the cage finally slowly opened Scooby still whimpering he backed up a little bit.

Nagoo and two other fairs came up too Scooby who's still whimpering as he looked at them.

"Hello puppy." He said with a deep voice making Scooby's spine shivered.

Meanwhile back with the gang.

"If the person behind all this needs Scooby Doo." Velma started.

"Then that person is the one who brought Scooby here." Daphne said as Jacob and Tony looked at each other eyes winded.

With Scooby.

"Scoobert." Emile smiled.

Scooby looked at Emile as he walked around him "how are you my friend?" He asked "please, sit down."

Scooby did as he was told as he sat down in a arm chair.

"Okay," Emile brought a small chest as he opened it "Scooby Snack?"

"Maybe one?" Scooby smiled before digging in as he crumbled all the way until they were all gone as Emile watched.

"We need some more of those." Emile told Scooby smiling softly as Scooby smiled back as he noticed a picture of himself grinning.

"Hey, that's me!" He grinned.

"It certainly is." Emile said nodding "And that's because... why? We love you, Scooby-Doo. Unlike that alleged friend of yours, Shaggy. He wouldn't believe you about that nasty girl Jane, would he?"

"No." Scooby said sadly shaking his head.

"But I believe you, my friend." Emile told him "And that's why I've got a very important job for you."

"What's that?" Scooby asked noticing a bobbing head cat as he tapped it making it bobbing along with himself.

"That's a cat with a bobbing head." Emile said as he was gett omg a little annoyed "Please don't touch it. I would like you...to be a sacrifice."

"A sacrifice?" Scooby asked confused.

Meanwhile back with the gang.

"If Mondorajagaga wanted Scooby, why'd he invite the rest of us?" Tony asked.

"It doesn't matter." Shaggy said getting everyone's attention "we gotta, like go save Scoob!" As Shaggy was about to walked off Fred stopped him.

"Shag!" Fred called out as Shaggy looked at him "Our area of expertise is nut jobs in Halloween costumes." He shrugged as Charlie listen on he walked towards Shaggy.

"We're supposed to be heroes, man." Shaggy said "So I'm gonna do what I always do: I'm gonna eat myself a Scooby Snack, and I'm gonna save my best pal."

"I would do the same if Charlie was in the same spot as Scooby is in." Jane said as Charlie smiled.

"Scooby's a friend of mine now if he's in trouble I'll go save him." Charlie said then he smirked "I know who too call."

He left the group making them confused as Fred looked at Velma softly.

"Velmster?" Fred asked softly.

"You think I'm gonna fall for that?" Velma asked
Giving me my own nickname?" Fred smiled for that "Trying to make me feel like part of the gang?"

"We could make a plan." Velma smiled

"What can I do?" Daphne asked sadly "The only thing I'm good for is getting caught."

"But you never let that stop you before. And if that's not a true hero, then I don't know what is." Fred said making Daphne smiled at him.

Then Shaggy who's still chewing on the Scooby Snack grinning put his fist in the middle, Fred was next, Daphne who was smiling, finally Velma.

Jane, Tony and Jacob all smiled at this as the gang are finally back together again as Charlie who came back and saw this grinned.

"Hey come on guys!" Shaggy said noticing Jane and her friends were standing and watching them confusing them.

"What?" Tony asked confused.

"Yeah, your part of the Mystery Inc now." Daphne smiled.

"If it wasn't for you guys helping us then none of this wouldn't happen." Fred told them as Velma smiled at Jacob blushing a little bit.

"But-."

"Come on, please we can use more hands for more mysteries." Velma said to Jacob as the four looked at each other then at Charlie.

"Charlie?" Jane asked her friend.

Charlie just smirked and nodded his head as he stood on his back legs and put his paws in smirking.

Tony was next grinning, Jane was next smiling as she put her hands on top of Tony's then Jacob's while Velma put her hands on top of his smiling as the two smiled at each other.

"Let's get jinkie with it." Velma said as they all raised their hands in the air cheering.

Few minutes later.

Meanwhile Tony helping Fred and Shaggy pulling down the disco skull as Fred and Shaggy held the skull while Tony held the rope to keep the skull study.

Meanwhile Velma, Daphne and Jane were getting tools and harness from the rock climbing walls.

Charlie watched this as he's worried for Scooby.

Meanwhile with Shaggy and Velma they were on the side of the wall pulling the disco skull ball towards the ceiling of the room where the ritual would be going on as they smiled at each other.

Meanwhile Fred was hooking himself up as Daphne was looking at him he noticed this and smiled at her she smiled back.

Shaggy pulled himself down towards the ground, meanwhile Daphne was climbing up higher on the wall, Fred was swinging himself towards where Velma is as he smiled at her, Velma gave him a tool to hold the harness as he put the harness down with the tool he went under it and stood next to Velma.

"Okay, so we use the pulleys to tip over the vat. Daphne and Jane will open the air vents." Fred said

As Jane heard this she gave a thumbs up before vanishing leaving smoke behind (she told everybody before the plan) as she met up with Daphne and release the disco skull. The light will refract off the skull." Velma finishing explains the plan.

"The creatures will explode, I'll find Scoob, and we'll have saved the world." Shaggy grinned.

"I'll help you find Scooby." Charlie said as Shaggy nodded at this.

"Same with me." Tony said as the the six heard something making them snapped their heads to the direction where it came from.

"Oh, no. The ritual's beginning." Fred said

"Quick. Attach this to the vat." Velma said as she threw another part of the rope of the harness.

"Ow!" Shaggy yelped quietly as the roped hit his head as he quickly caught it and quickly rushed towards the big bowl "shh! We're here to save you." As he tried to tied the roped.

"Shaggy, faster!" Jacob told his friend quietly as Shaggy looked behind him when he did tied the rope he turned to Velma and Fred.

"All systems go." Shaggy whispered as Jacob and Charlie watched this on from their hiding spot.

Then all of the sudden the rope got caught in the hook that was hanging from Shaggy's side of his pants making him gulped.

"Wait!" Shaggy called out "Fred, Velma!"

"Guys wait !" Jacob tried to stopped them but it was too late.

"Mystery Inc. rides again." Fred smiled as he and Velma cheered on as they both pulled down to the ground sending Shaggy to the ceiling smacking his back to the hard rock ceiling making Jacob and Charlie winced at the pain he's going to feel later on.

Then Charlie saw Daphne went flying towards a rock wall sending her flying face planted first making her yelped in pain making him winced, Jane quickly went to help her red headed friend.

"Ooh that's gotta hurt." Jacob said as he saw Shaggy flew the other way as he and Charlie went to quickly help Shaggy.

"Quick, hide the Daemon Ritus." Velma told Fred who nodded as he did what he was told.

Meanwhile Shaggy stood up and saw Scooby Doo in a king size chair with women feeding him Scooby snacks and fanning him with big red leafs.

Shaggy grinned as he hide behind the wall watching.

"Would you like another Scooby Snack?" A woman's voice asked.

"Okay." Scooby chuckled.

"Scooby-Doo!" Shaggy whispered excited that his best friend is alright then he left the scene as he bumped into Jacob and a Charlie.

"Dude, you okay that was some crash?" Jacob asked his friend in concern.

"Like yeah man I'm fine, I just saw Scoob he's fine." Shaggy nodded his head making Charlie sighed in relieved knowing his friend is alright.

Meanwhile Daphne whimpered a little bit since she crashed into the rock wall as she slowly looked down at Fred and Velma who pretended to be one of the monsters still as they followed the dancing.

Meanwhile Shaggy put the unconscious guy against the wall that he accidentally knocked out as Jacob and Charlie gaped at him as Shaggy hurried up to changed his clothes.

Shaggy noticed his two friends staring at him in stunned.

"What?"

"You just knocked out that guy without realizing it man!" Jacob whispered loudly at his friend.

"Sure did." Shaggy shrugged before putting the vest on and the strange hat as people started coming as Shaggy quickly started dancing as Jacob and Charlie went into hiding again.

"You saw that right Charlie?"

"Oh yeah." Charlie nodded his head.

All of the sudden the man that Shaggy knocked out unconscious started to wake up as the man started to snarled at him as he stood up and was about to walked towards Shaggy as Charlie was about to help his friend but Jacob stopped him as Charlie looked up.

"Hey man, he's about to-!" Jacob covered Charlie's mouth as Shaggy without realizing again punched the man in the stomach then elbowed him in the face, elbowed him in the face three more times before the man loose unconscious before collapsing to the same spot he was before as Charlie who still had his mouth covered by Jacob and Jacob both boys watched this with wide eyes as they watched the man collapsed.

When the people left Shaggy looked behind him to see the man is unconscious when he didn't even noticed that he woke up for a few seconds before he was unconscious once again as his two friends were staring at him in disbelief.

"What?"

They both continued to stared at him as he shrugged before rushing off. As Jacob and Charlie snapped out of their thoughts before rushing towards Shaggy.

Meanwhile back with Fred and Velma.

Fred looked up and mentioned Daphne to continued with the plan she nodded her head.

Daphne looked up where she's supposed to go and saw that Jane was already there Shaggy's soon to be girlfriend looked at Daphne as the the two girls locked eyes and nodded to each other as they continued on with the plan as they crawl in the tunnel that was supposed to go outside.

Meanwhile everybody stopped the dancing as Fred and Velma nervously stopped but Freddie was trying to distract them.

"Yo, yo, yo. Yo, homedogs. You forgot the next part
of the dance.." Fred said as he tried to come up with the dance as Velma nervously shook her head at her blind friend to make him stop.

"You forgot the next part of the dance." Freddie said nervously as Velma looked at him nervously as she stood in a dance stance staring at him "where we do the Electric Slide, you know."

Meanwhile Daphne and Jane were crawling in the tunnel to continued on the plan while the others distract Emile as Jane was in front of Daphne she looked behind her and see her friend sighed.

"Hurry up, Velma."

"Don't worry Daph, we're almost there."

Daphne looked at her new friend and smiled Jane smiled back.

"Jane, I want to thank you for helping me and my friends." Daphne said as they continued to crawl.

"Hey it's what I do, ever since Red me and Charlie been saving people everyday where we're from."

"Who is Red anyway?" Daphne asked.

"I'll tell you later right now we have a mystery to solve."

Daphne nodded her head as they crawled.

Meanwhile Fred, Tony and Velma were grabbed by their arms tightly by the guards that were wearing masks as Velma yelped while Tony growled out as he struggled to get free.

"Fred, Tony, Velma, Welcome to my little end-of-the-world party." Emile who was wearing blue robes said frowning "I've waited a long time for this moment. Thank you for returning
the ultimate party favor: The Daemon Ritus. And now, behold the sacrifice."

The three turned and saw that Scooby was being carried in as Tony looked on and saw Shaggy holding one side he looked around and saw Jacob and Charlie hiding in the shadows.

Meanwhile Scooby was having fun as he was smiling and waving.

"Thank you. Thank you. Hello, thank you."

"Psst!" A voice whispered to Scooby as he looked over and saw his best friend in shock.

"Thank you-. Shaggy?"

"Let's run for it." Shaggy told Scooby "We gotta get out of here."

"I'm a sacrifice." Scooby shook his head "Hello." He waved again.

"A sacrifice?" Shaggy said in horror as he lifted his mask so he could see better "Dude, that's not a good thing, Scoob. I'm sorry I yelled at you. And I'm sorry I haven't been a very good friend since we got here. But you gotta trust me now."

"You don't trust me." Scooby said sadly.

"I do trust you." Shaggy said Now, look. Who's your best buddy?"

"Shaggy."

"Right." Shaggy nodded his head.

"And who's my best buddy?"

"Scooby-Doo?" Scooby slowly started to smiled at his best friend.

"That's right." Shaggy smiled "You are. And we're like two trippy peas in a far-out pod, man. Best buddies trust each other. Let's do what we do best.
Let's run out of here screaming in fear like two lunatics, okay?"

"Okay." Scooby nodded his head grinningas they finally stopped and lowered the chair.

"On the count of...Let's make it five. One."

"Two." Scooby counted with him but was cut off as the claw machine that was controlled by Nagoo who was grinning evilly.
