Scooby Doo: Friendship is Magicby BronyBoy98ChaptersChapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 9Chapter 10Chapter 11Chapter 1Chapter 8Chapter 2Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 3After a day of asking people about the monster and having fun, The Mystery Gang decided to investigate more after dark. When they arrived at the convention late at night, the gang was greeted by the two guards, Tim and Philip they had met earlier. "Hey you kids," said Tim, "You all ready to explore this place?" "Yes we are" said Fred, holding a flashlight. "Ok, so here's what we'll do," explained Daphne, "Fred, Velma and I will go with Philip and Tim to the security room and check any rooms for employees. Shaggy and Scooby will go check the storage where they keep all the props, balloons and equipment." Fred raised an eyebrow, "Hey, since when do you get to decide who goes where?" Fred always led and had the gang split up to search for clues in the past. It used to bother him how many times other members of the gang thought of a plan but he didn't let it bother him because they came up with great ideas. "Oh," said Daphne surprised, "Sorry, did you have a plan, Fred?" "No, that's a good plan" said Fred, "Ok, gang, let's get to work" While Fred, Daphne and Velma went with the guards, Shaggy and Scooby were in the storage area, looking around. As they looked, they saw lots of stuff like fake trees, Paper Mache castles and a funhouse mirror. "Like wowie, Scoob" Said Shaggy amazed, "This place doesn't look half bad" "Rea" said Scooby. "I wonder if they got a Cotton Candy machine or something" said Shaggy. Of course Shaggy would be thinking of food in a time like this, even during a case about a monster, Shaggy and Scooby were always wanting a snack. They would've been eating Scooby Snacks, their favorite snacks for dogs and people, but they emptied the last box while they were on the road. Suddenly they heard a noise. "Zoinks!" panicked Shaggy, "Like what was that?" "Ri runno raggy" said Scooby nervously. "Maybe it was just a mouse or maybe one of the people who works here, or-GAH!" screamed Shaggy as he turned around and saw an ugly looking figure in front of him. "Raggy?" asked Scooby looking at Shaggy. "Oh whew, it's alright Scoob, it's just the funhouse mirror" Indeed, Shaggy got spooked by his twisted reflection the funhouse mirror. "Reeheehee" Scooby giggled, "Rot rared ry rat" "I know right?" said a voice, "That was really funny" Shaggy and Scooby looked around frantically when they heard the voice. They looked and looked but they didn't see anyone around. "In here" said the voice as Shaggy and Scooby turned to face the mirror. Right in front of them in the mirror was a small pink pony looking back at them smiling and waving. "Hi there!" said the pony "Oh wow, this mirror has Pinkie Pie," said Shaggy, "I don't remember this from the show" "What show?" said Pinkie Pie disappearing from the mirror. She didn't poof into smoke or in a flash of light, she was just gone. "You mean My Little Pony?" Pinkie Pie said, appearing right behind Shaggy and Scooby. "Or Blue Falcon?" said Pinkie Pie appearing again in the mirror, Shaggy and Scooby looked a bit scared of what was going on. "Oooh, did you see me in The Banana Splits, whatever that is" said Pinkie Pie appearing behind them. "Like Zoinks!" said Shaggy, "Are you the Real Pinkie Pie?" "Weeell.." began Pinkie Pie, "There are 3 of me, four if you count that scary Pinkie" "Ront remind me" said Scooby nervously "But there is only one me where I come from, that and a lot of other Pinkie's that live in a magic pool, and that one Pinkie I had pancakes with, oooh, and one time, Discord made a me that was gold, a Gold Pinkie Pie, also.." Pinkie Pie continued rambling on when Shaggy finally stopped her. "Like hold on," Shaggy began, "You're really Pinkie Pie, you're not some robot or actor in a costume?" "Of course I'm Pinkie, silly" said Pinkie Pie, "I've never seen the show we're all on but I reeeeally want to, but I can't, I'm working a case" "Like oh boy" said Shaggy, "Tell me you're not chasing a giant bird man with huge wings and is on fire" "Okie Dokie Lokie" said Pinkie Pie smiling, "I'm not chasing a giant bird man with huge wings and is on fire" "Oh good" said Shaggy relieved "Me and my friends are looking for a magical artifact that has a ton of cool and dangerous power that got lost through a magic portal and may be in this place" "Like man, why did you have to say that?" said Shaggy Suddenly, they heard a mysterious laugh booming in the storage area. Things were not looking good for Shaggy, Scooby and their new friend. Author's Note Wow, Shaggy and Scooby just met Pinkie Pie, what's going to happen next? But how did Pinkie Pie end up in a convention all about her friends and what did they all just run into? Hopefully they can crack this mystery the next time Chapter 4"Mr. Wagner is in charge around here," said Tim "He runs the whole building and sees over every fandom that gets used here" "Is he here at night?" asked Daphne, walking next to Tim. "Most of the time, he's always busy and when he's busy, he's cranky" Explained Philip, walking behind them. Suddenly a noise on Tim's radio went off and Tim reaches to answer it. "This is Tim, go ahead" responded Tim. A voice spoke out of the radio, "Found something weird by the front entrance, you might wanna take a look, maybe need more help, over" "Aw, great, ok you kids go on without us," said Tim, "Surveillance room is up ahead, there's the janitor's closet and there's an elevator that goes up to Mr. Wagner's office" As they leave, Fred, Daphne and Velma walk to the surveillance room when they hear a clattering sound. It sounded like it came from the janitors closet. "Jeepers, what was that?" said Daphne alarmed. "I don't know but let's find out" said Velma as she reached the door handle to the closet. "Be careful" said Fred cautiously. Velma swung open the door only to see a bunch of rags and a bucket facing upside down on the floor, and then the pile began to move with a voice calling out. "EEEK!" shouted the voice, "My mane's gonna be ruined", the voice seemed to be very distressed, and it sounded like whoever was speaking was crying. "Hello?" Daphne asked, "Do you need some help?" "I'm very capable of getting out of messes, darling" the voice snapped. The pile raised up and fell apart as a figure stood up from out of the pile and Fred, Daphne and Velma's jaw dropped. Right there in front of them was a pony. She had a snow white coat of fur, piercing blue eyes and small horn coming out of her forehead. But something was off about this creature, both her mane and tail were purple. "What the heck is that?" said Velma surprised "How dare you!" said the pony abruptly, "I am not a what, I am a who, and who I am is Rarity" "Wait, as in Rarity from the show?" asked Daphne "What show? I have never been in a play, darling" said Rarity, "But I would be honored to play a role" "She means My Little Pony, the TV show you're supposed to be from" said Velma adjusting her glasses. "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, miss" said Rarity, brushing off pieces of paper towels off her back, "Now if u don't mind, I have to go find my friends who left me all alone to look for the element." Fred, Daphne and Velma were very confused at this point. Who or what was this thing talking to them, and why did it look and sound like a character from a kids show. Fred thought it was a kid in a costume, Velma had the same thought as Fred and she also believed it was a robot. Daphne didn't know what to think, she had watched My Little Pony in the past and really enjoyed Rarity and everything she did on the show, but to see Rarity right in front of her talking, she didn't know whether to believe it was really her or something fake. Finally Daphne decided to speak. "Wait, what exactly are you looking for?" Daphne asked. "I'm trying to find a jewelry that belongs to a friend of mine, but so far the only things I have found are crumbled up pieces of paper and dirty water" Rarity said repulsed. "This jewelry belongs to your friend?" asked Fred, "So there's more people here?" "Not people, darling, ponies" Rarity replied, "We would've brought Spike but he was fast asleep, we didn't want to wake him" "Uh huh," Velma said rolling her eyes, "So your magical friends are in the convention that is featuring a TV show you all came from, a show that you don't even know about, and your searching for some magical jewelry of some kind?" "Not just any jewelry, an Element of Harmony" Explained Rarity. "Oh brother" groaned Velma. Suddenly they hear a scream and turn away from the closet to see Shaggy and Scooby running towards them and behind them followed a yellow and orange glow. "Like run for your lives!" Yelled Shaggy, "It's a flaming bird man!" "What in the name of-AH!" Rarity screamed as she saw the figure chasing Shaggy and Scooby "You heard the hippie, let's get out of here!" Yelled Pinkie Pie and the whole group ran away with Tartarus on their tail. Author's Note Another pony looking around in the convention? This is getting interesting. The next chapter will introduce more characters and have them face off against the villain. Chapter 5"Like, he's gaining on us!" shouted Shaggy as he and the gang bolted into the main area in the convention building. "Hey birdie, have some cake!" Pinkie Pie, running next to Shaggy pulled a cake from out of her fluffy mane and threw it at Tartarus who completely ignored getting cake on him and continued flying after them. "Order up" Pinkie said as she throws another cake at Tartarus still with no effect. "Stop feeding him cake!" Velma said running in front of Pinkie. "I'm not feeding him cake" Pinkie shouted, "I'm assaulting him with cake!" The gang and ponies made to the center of the room with nowhere else to run to as Tartarus was soaring above them. "What in Celestia's name do you want?" said Rarity, hiding behind Fred. "The treasure," said Tartarus hovering over them, "I want the treasure." "There's no treasure here," said Fred, "This is just a convention" "You really have no idea what is here, do you?" said Tartarus, "Very well, if you won't leave me alone then you will have to perish" A flaming ball appears in Tartarus's hand as he raises it to throw at the group. Suddenly, Tartarus was struck by what appeared to be a beam of rainbow colored light and he falls down to the floor. "What was that??" Tartarus said getting up off the floor, "Show yourself!" he demanded. "Hey bird brain!" a voice called out, then another beam of light shoots out at Tartarus, sending him flying into a stand. The gang and ponies looked and saw what had saved them. A light blue figure floated down to the group and The Mystery gang could not believe what they were seeing. The figure was a bright blue pony with a rainbow colored mane and tail. She had Magenta colored eyes and a marking on her flank. It was a picture of a cloud with a lightning bolt coming out of it but the bolt had the colors red, yellow and blue on it. She also appeared to have wings. Finally the pony spoke, "You guys alright?" The gang didn't answer, they were just saved by a flying pony who looked like a child's drawing. "WOOOO!" Pinkie Pie shouted, "That was amazing, Dashie" "I know," the pony smiled, "I'm awesome" "You could've arrived sooner" complained Rarity. "I was busy" said the pony, "Besides, you could've handled it, you have magic" "But I'm not some self centered sporty Pegasus who loves looking at herself in the mirror' "She's right Dashie" said Pinkie Pie joining in on the conversation, "Rarity is a self centered Unicorn who loves looking at herself in the mirror" "Right, thank you for that Pinkie Pie" Rarity said putting a hoof to her face. Finally Fred spoke up, "Ok, who are you?" The blue Pegasus turned to Fred and smiled, "I'm Rainbow Dash" she said flying up with her wings "The coolest and fastest Pegasus there is" Rainbow Dash said doing a pose. "Let me guess," Velma said, "You're here looking for a magical artifact too?" "Yea, how did you know?" asked Rainbow Dash landing on the ground. "Are you all ok, we heard screaming" said a voice and the group turns around. 3 more ponies run up to the gang and other 3 ponies. One of them was a light purple unicorn with a dark purple mane and tail with a pink stripe on each. She had purple eyes and her flank had a picture what looked like a pink 6 point star surrounded by white sparkles. The second pony was a bright yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail, blue eyes and had mark on her flank consisting of 3 Butterflies. The third pony didn't have wings or a horn. She was an orange pony with green eyes, a blonde mane and tail, her mane and tail appeared to be tied like ponytails. She had a brown cowboy hat and a mark on her flank that resembled 3 red Apples. They gang looked at Pinkie Pie and Rarity and realized they had marks on their flanks too. Pinkie Pie's mark was 3 balloons, one yellow, two of them blue and Rarity's mark was 3 diamonds. "Hi Twilight Sparkle, hi Fluttershy hi Applejack!" said Pinkie Pie pointing to the purple, yellow and orange ponies. "What in tarnation happened?" Asked Applejack. "Some bird man in a cape was chasing after us and about to bake us like a pie" Said Rarity. "It looked more like he was going to fry you" said Rainbow Dash. "Well obviously he was gonna bake us like a cake" said Pinkie Pie jumping "Doesn't matter what he was going to do you, at least your safe" said Twilight. Fred looked down and saw Fluttershy avoiding eye contact with everyone and had her head turned. "Hi, I'm Fred, what's your name?" Fred asked. Fluttershy spoke with a soft and quiet voice, "I'm...Fluttershy" "There's no need to be scared, we're all friends here." Said Fred. Fluttershy looked up at Fred, "Sorry, I've always been shy around everyone" Fluttershy said. "Hate to cut the chit-chat, but can we find out who this feller is?" Applejack said pointing to Tartarus still on the wrecked stand. "The little girl is right, let's see who this bird man really is" said Velma and the whole group walks over to the stand. "Little girl?" asked Applejack with a raised eyebrow, "Sugar cube, I'm not a Filly, I'm a grown pony" Velma stopped and the rest of the group stopped and looked at her. "Look, this was fun while it lasted, but this is no time for fun and games, as soon as we unmask Tartarus, you need to fess up." Said Velma to the six ponies. "Exactly what do you think we are?" asked Twilight. "You're either kids in costumes or robots, there's no such thing as magic or demons or anything supernatural." said Velma. "Oh yea" said Pinkie Pie, "If I were a robot, could I do this?" Pinkie Pie jumped up in the air and expanded like a balloon and then exploded into glitter all over the floor and in a snap she was back to normal like nothing even happened. "Well that was.....an impressive trick" Velma said, "But that could've been caused by anything, maybe the robot got destroyed and you used illusions to make another robot appear in thin air" "Or maybe.." Twilight said, "Pinkie Pie has magic, she may be an Earth Pony but she has more abilities and magic than I do." "Like where did mister bird man go?" Shaggy pointed and the group looked. Shaggy was right, Tartarus had disappeared. "Well that's just great, while you all were talking nonsense, the bad guy got away" Velma said. Rarity gasped, "This is not our fault darling, you're the one who decided to stop and have a chat." "Simmer down you two," Applejack said, "We can find him later, it's dark and I think we're all tired" "Applejack is right" Said Fred, we need to get out here and find out what Tartarus wants from this place. "There's a library near by," Said Twilight, "We could do research on this building using old city records." "Can we get some food first, I'm starving," Said Pinkie Pie. "Like us too," Said Shaggy with Scooby nodding his head. "Alright gang and...ponies" Said Fred, "We'll leave, get something to eat and think of a plan for tomorrow." As they leave, a figure had been watching them from above, a dark blue figure with a horn. Author's Note Looks like the gang and Mane Six still have work to do, hopefully they find out what the villain wants and who he is. Chapter 6In the morning, the gang and ponies decided to split up. Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie Pie and Applejack would be in the convention asking questions and looking around. Velma and Twilight were going to be in the library searching old records of the city to find out why the convention was so important to Tartarus. Fred, Daphne, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash meanwhile, were going to be in the convention looking in the storage area and reviewing security footage to find clues. Velma and Twilight were in the library basement looking for records. the whole basement was covered in cobwebs and everything was dusty. "This place could really use a clean" Said Twilight brushing past the cobwebs. "Try looking for a book or a box that has less dust than everything else," Said Velma, "Maybe someone picked something out that could help us" Twilight looked at Velma with a glare, "You really don't believe in magic, do you?" Velma turned to Twilight and said, "I spent my whole life reading about facts, books on science and technology, and learned anything that looked like magic was just a trick done by someone doing science or using a machine." "If I lived in your world I would've believed that too, and I have often thought about not using magic at all and instead using science and whatever contraption somepony made to make life easier" Explained Twilight. Velma smiled at Twilight, "That's really good thinking, too bad it came from a unicorn" Twilight laughed at that comment, "And I had to hear magic wasn't real from a human" Twilight and Velma continued to search until Twilight found something. "Hey, I think I found something" said Twilight as she lifted a book off the ground with her horn. Velma looked surprised seeing Twilight lift an object into the air just by having her horn glow and hold the book up with the same glow. "I'm just not gonna question that" Velma said. They read through the book. It was full of pictures of what the city was like many years ago, pictures of people who were long dead or just old. Then a page caught Twilight's eye. "Wait a minute," Twilight said and she points to a picture, "I think this where the convention is" "You're right, there used to be a bank there," Velma said, "But it got torn down, that was a long time ago, and it says before the bank was demolished, there was a robbery. The crook was arrested but the money was never found" "Rainbow said Tartarus wanted a treasure, and he wanted everyone out the convention" Said Twilight. "Tartarus must think that missing money is somewhere in the convention" said Velma. "I know my element is also in the convention, I'm able to track it" Said Twilight. "What exactly is your element" Asked Velma. "Magic." said Twilight, "It's a gem full of powerful magic and when it's joined with other elements, the power is so great and it can wipe out any evil" "So if Tartarus got a hold of it.." began Velma. "The Element of Magic used to be mine to wield but since it's in this dimension, the rules have changed, anybody could use it for whatever they want. "Well assuming magic is real, and I'm not saying it is, "said Velma, "We need to find your element before someone gets hurt." "Then let's go," Said Twilight, and they leave the library. Author's Note Twilight and Velma seem like a good team. Hope they rest of the gang and ponies are doing doing good too. Chapter 7"Ugh, this place looks terrible, even my trash bin is cleaner than this" Said Rarity disgusted. Fred, Daphne, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were in the storage area looking for clues. Shaggy, Scooby and Pinkie Pie had been chased out the place before so perhaps Tartarus was there for another reason other than to scare off people. "Well it may be filthy, but places like these usually have lots of clues" Said Daphne. "So this is what you guys do always," Said Rainbow Dash, "Just going from place to place, solving mysteries?" "That about sums it up" Said Fred. Fluttershy was walking slowly behind the group, she didn't like exploring dark places. Daphne turned to look at Fluttershy, "It's ok Fluttershy, just stay close to us and you'll be safe." Said Daphne. "Ok," Replied Fluttershy as she flew over to the group. "So, you're part of an acrobatic group called.." Fred began. "The Wonderbolts," Finished Rainbow Dash, "We perform sick moves in the sky, and sometimes even save lives." "Do you ponies have the Olympics?' Asked Fred. "Uhhh, no? I don't think anypony knows what that's supposed to be." Said Rainbow Dash. Fred was still getting used to the fact he was talking to a Pegasus, a flying pony, he never encountered the real supernatural before. Even if he was still having trouble believing in everything that had happened, Fred did enjoy talking to Rainbow Dash, she was tough, brave and he even liked her appearance, he always liked the color blue, he even wanted The Mystery Machine to be blue. "Everyone, I think you may want to see this" called out Rarity, pointing to a big stack of boxes. The group walked over to where Rarity was pointing and saw there was an opening between the stacks. As they walked around the boxes they saw a big hole in the ground and what appeared to be a sledgehammer and a drilling machine. "What is all of this?" Asked Fluttershy. "Looks like someone's been digging in this spot" Said Daphne. "But why, what for?" Said Fred. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened, "I bet they're looking for the Element of Magic" Said Rainbow Dash surprised. This time Daphne looked surprised, "Wait, Twilight's element, one of the six elements of Harmony?" Asked Daphne. "That's right," Said Rarity, "If someone is looking for that then we might all be in danger." "Wait, why would this element even be here in the first place?" Asked Fred. Fluttershy sighed and the group looked at her and then she finally spoke up. "Twilight was practicing a spell while I was carrying a box with the Elements of Harmony inside of it, but then a portal opened up and I got scared and dropped the box, I picked almost every element off the ground except one and it got swept away." Rainbow Dash walked over to Fluttershy and put a hoof on her shoulder. "You didn't do anything wrong," Said Rainbow Dash, "Everybody gets scared and Twilight's portal wasn't working that well so it wasn't supposed to suck anything up." "Yea accidents happen" Said Rarity. "So the portal that led to this world was made by Twilight," Fred said. "And the portal was unstable or something?" Daphne asked. "That seems to be the case" Said Rainbow Dash. "So you all just jumped through the portal without thinking about whether or not you would survive," Said Fred, "That was awfully brave." "Applejack was the first one to go in, and as friends we followed along with her," Said Rarity, "But I never thought we would end up in a world like this." "So what do we do now?" Asked Fluttershy. "We should explore what's down that hole when we have the whole gang and your friends here," Said Daphne, "We should get out of here, Rainbow?" Rainbow Dash was over by the funhouse mirror making faces. "Rainbow!" Shouted Rarity. "Sorry," Said Rainbow Dash, "I just look so silly in this" Chapter 9Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie and Applejack were following Janice, who was heading towards the storage area. Something about Janice seemed off to the group and they thought she could be a suspect. "She's heading for the storage area, that's where our other friends are!" Said Pinkie Pie panicking. "Like what do we do now?" Said Shaggy, also panicking. "Alright, listen up," Said Applejack looking confident. "As soon as she opens the door that place, I'll make a run at her and push her into the room, then Y'all come over and shut the door so we can be alone with her." "Rat if she roots a rire rall rat us?" Said Scooby. "Scuse me?" Said Applejack raising an eyebrow. "What Scooby is trying to say is what if she bakes us with one of her fireballs?" Said Pinkie Pie. "Then I'll just kick her" Said Applejack. "Like wowie," Said Shaggy surprised, "I forgot how brutal you are." "Lets do it!" Said Pinkie Pie. Shaggy, Scooby and Pinkie Pie stood back as Applejack got ready to charge. As soon as Janice got the door and opened it, Applejack made a run for it. She galloped hard and fast towards the doorway and leapt, crashing into someone on the other side. "GAH!" Yelled a voice, "Feels like a train hit me." "Whoops" Said Applejack, "Sorry, Fred." Applejack had tackled Fred by mistake. Velma, Daphne, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash ran to the pair as Fred got up. "You alright there sugar cube?" Asked Applejack. "Fine, yea, that was a good tackle" Said Fred brushing his shirt. "Good? Try awesome" Said Rainbow Dash holding out her hoof for a hoof bump but Applejack shook her head. "What on earth was that for?" Said Rarity. "Like we thought you were Janice, our guide." Said Shaggy. "And you decided to tackle her." Said Daphne. "Her idea" Said Scooby, pointing a paw at Applejack. "Did you find anything?" Asked Fluttershy. "Only that Janice is a weird lady, she talked to us a bit funny." Said Shaggy. "I don't know if we can mark her as a suspect just because she talks a bit weird, guys" Said Fred. "How about the fact that she vanished into thin air?" Said Applejack. It was true, Janice had vanished as Applejack was running at Fred, the rest of the group should've seen her. "Ok that's a little weird" Said Daphne. "We found a hole in the floor in this room, we believe Twilight's element is down there." Explained Rarity. "What if that Janice already found the element and that's why she was able to disappear?" Said Rainbow Dash. The whole group fell silent thinking about what Rainbow Dash had said when a phone began to ring. Fred pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered. "Hello? Velma? What did you two find? Whoah, ok then. Listen, meet us back at the Mystery Machine. Ok, bye." Fred finished the call and hung up and turned to the others. "Ok, so it turns out there might be money buried under the convention." Said Fred. "Like gold?" Said Applejack. "Gold, cash, silver coins, lots of money" Said Fred, "Tartarus could be after that and not the element." "Well how are we gonna stop him?" Said Rainbow Dash. "Like you took him down easily the last time we saw him, you can do it again" Said Shaggy. "Well we can't just punch and kick him, we'll need to set up a trap." Said Fred. "You're thinking of one right now, aren't you? Said Daphne. "Yes I am, and it's gonna be a good one." Chapter 10It was nighttime, and once again, the convention was closed. The Main room was empty, trash was on the floor and all was quiet. Suddenly, a figure covered in flames came down from the ceiling, gliding over the stands and landing by the door to the storage area. Tartarus opened the door to storage and walked over to where the hole in the ground was. There was a big tunnel underground lit with florescent lights on the walls. Tartarus made it halfway into the tunnel where he saw a hole on the side. He looked through the hole where he saw a satchel and picked it up. "Finally, great fortune is finally mine." Said Tartarus, opening the satchel. Suddenly a head poked out of the satchel. "Surprise!" Said Pinkie Pie, taking out a bazooka and blasting confetti in Tartarus's face. "Gah!" Tartarus yelled, throwing the satchel and flying away. Tartarus flew across the tunnel and up the hole when he runs into a net covering the opening. Tartarus's wings burned through the net and he tried to go up to the ceiling when something appeared to be pulling him. "What is this?" Tartarus said, trying to break free from the pull but gets dragged to a spot that appeared to be covered in tarp. "It's called science." Said Velma coming out of the shadows. "And it may not be magic, but it's still really handy." Said Twilight Sparkle, joining her. Fred also appears and removes the tarp from where Tartarus was stuck as his armor starts to make noises and sparks fly. The thing that had Tartarus stuck was a big metal cabinet with lots of wires attached to it and was making a magnetic field clinging Tartarus's armor to the cabinet. The rest of both of groups joined the others as Tartarus continued to struggle. "Now let's see who this bird man really is." Said Velma as she pulled off Tartarus's mask. It was Philip, the security guard. "Philip??" Everyone said, shocked. "But why?" Asked Daphne. "Isn't it obvious?" Said Philip, "I wanted to find that stolen money so that I could get rich, this job doesn't pay me enough." The police, Mr. Wagner and Tim, the other security guard all arrived at the scene. "Philip?" Said Tim, surprised. "But that's not possible, we were both there the night Tartarus appeared, how can you be him?" "Actually we can explain that" Said Velma, lifting a giant bag and opening it up. There was the Tartarus costume inside the bag but it looked slightly different. "You used this animatronic made from a griffin and human animatronic that was in storage, to make a Tartarus duplicate so that you wouldn't be a suspect." Said Velma "That night, you used a remote control to make the Tartarus animatronic say what you wanted it to say and even had it fly using wires on the ceiling." Added Fred. "And had the balloons rigged to cannisters that would fill them up with too much air so they would pop." Said Shaggy. "But what about the flaming wings and fireballs?" Asked Tim. Velma knelt down and lifted Philip's arm to reveal a small device on him. "I've seen a device like this before, it just shoots out wads of flash paper, he was never gonna burn or bake us, he was trying to scare us off." Explained Velma. This time Mr. Wagner Spoke. "I can understand the flying with wires using the animatronic, but how did he fly when it was just him?" "Another cannister in his suit, it uses a special compound that can make anything float in the air, sort of a Super Helium, he used it to fly." Said Velma. "I knew there was something fishy about your resume," Said Mr. Wagner, "All that education, all those degrees and you wanted to be a security guard." "A security guard for a convention that focuses on TV shows and movie series, it was amazing doing my job here, until you stopped giving me my usual pay. I would've had millions if it wasn't for those meddling kids and those...those animals" Said Philip. "Rooby rooby roo!" howled Pinkie Pie and everyone stares at her, "What? I really wanted to say it." Chapter 11After the police took Philip away, a huge crowd of people were talking to every pony except Twilight who was talking with the Mystery Gang. Twilight handed Velma a book with a sun on the cover. "Keep this, we'll be able to talk to each other any time." Said Twilight. "Thanks, I guess." Said Velma smiling. "It's still hard to believe isn't it? Us with all of these powers and we're not humans in disguise?" Said Twilight. "Actually I'm ok with this, I'm just glad we all got to solve a mystery where there was a man in a costume." Said Velma. The five ponies trotted to Twilight and the gang. "Everyone loved me, they said I was divine" Said Rarity proudly. "Those girls really loved my cupcakes" Said Pinkie Pie with a big smile. "Everyone was asking me to do a Sonic Rainboom but I don't know if they're really ready for that." Said Rainbow Dash. Janice walked over to the group, she seemed pleased. "Well done everyone, you all succeeded in stopping the villain from causing great havoc across the realm" Said Janice "But like, we saw you enter the the storage area but the rest of the gang didn't see you enter, how did you disappear?" Asked Shaggy. "Well, I may have used a little magic to aid myself in not being caught" Said Janice, who pointed to the side of her navy blue skirt which had a moon crescent surrounded by a black blot. "Luna??" Every pony said, shocked. "Indeed," Said Luna, "I arrived in this realm to be sure that you all would be able to find the element and help anyone on the way." "But why didn't you just tell us?" Asked Twilight. "My sister wanted this mission to be all up to you, but I had noticed something else was happening in this world that may distract you, so I arrived here in disguise trying to look for the element myself, and I found it." Said Luna holding up a purple gem. "My element!" Twilight exclaimed and hugged Luna, "Thank you so much," Twilight then paused and let Luna go to bow to her, "I mean thank you very much, your majesty." Luna giggled, "It's quite alright Twilight, the hug was most appreciated." "Wow, you're a princess?" Said Daphne, "You must get a lot of attention" "Not as much as my sister, but I don't mind at all." Said Luna, "Now I believe it is time for us to go." The gang and ponies said their goodbyes and when nobody else was around except them, all six ponies and Luna were enveloped in a ball of rainbow colored like and shot into the skies and disappeared. "So Velma," Said Daphne elbowing Velma, "Do you still not believe in magic?" "Well," Said Velma, "It's still hard to wrap my head around but I won't bother to try and find a logical explanation for it." "It was a lot of fun seeing them, and we can write to them anytime we want." Said Fred, getting into the Mystery Van and the gang joined "Yea and like, me and Scoob can share recipes with Pinkie and bake some yummy cakes." Said Shaggy. "Rea! Rummy rakes." Said Scooby. The Mystery Van drove off into the night, the Mane Six were gone but not forgotten, the gang would not see them for a while, but perhaps someday they will all meet again. Chapter 1Author's Note I enjoy Scooby Doo and My Little Pony so of course I wanted to make a crossover. It seemed right to make a monster and mystery for the gang while also including characters from the show who are the real Mane Six. Chapter 1 "Will these people ever learn?" said the security guard as he picked up a soda can from off the ground. It was just after dark and the BronyCon building was officially over for the night. BronyCon was a convention for a popular TV show called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It was a show full of unicorns, Pegasus, dragons and much more, but the security guard did not enjoy it. "You alright there Tim?" said a voice Tim, the security guard, turned and saw his friend, another security guard named Philip. "I'm fine, just finding trash all over this dump" said Tim, looking annoyed. "Come on, it's not that bad, a lot of happy kids love coming here, it's like a big wonderland." said Philip delightfully. "Yea whatever, as long as it's quiet here I can manage.", said Tim. Suddenly they hear a noise, it sounded like a balloon popping. "What was that?" Tim asked, looking around with his flashlight. "Probably just a stray balloon, might've hit the ceiling." said Philip More balloons started popping all around the area the two guards were in, and then smoke started to appear. "Hey, whoever you are, this isn't funny, show yourself! shouted Tim. From out of the smoke stood a figure on top of a beam on the ceiling. He looked like a bird man, with a beak for a mouth and yellow eyes but he was also wearing armor and a cape. He had claws on his hands and feet, his armor and cape was dark red, and his face was red and had a scar on his left eye. "HAHAHAHAHA," His laugh was deep and booming. "Leave this place if you value your lives, surrender this building to me, Tartarus: The Sun Bird." Tartarus leapt off the beam and flaming wings spread out from him as he flew over the guards and then vanished. Chapter 8Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie Pie and Applejack were exploring the convention having fun, they were supposed to be looking for clues, but Shaggy and Scooby hardly did that sort of thing. "Those cupcakes were amazing" Pinkie Pie said, eating the last cupcake and getting chocolate smeared around her mouth. "I'm just glad they had Apples here too" Said Applejack with a big smile. "Yea, like me and Scooby eat lots of tasty food," Said Shaggy, "Too bad we don't have any Scooby Snacks" "Rea" Said Scooby with his head down. "Oooh, I have some!" Said Pinkie Pie as she reaches into her mane and pulls out a box of Scooby Snacks. "Wow," Said Shaggy, "Where did you get these?" "I'll never tell" Said Pinkie Pie. "It's just Pinkie Pie, we don't ever question it" Said Applejack. Janice, the guide who worked in the convention walked over to the group. "I'm sorry you two," Janice said pointing to Pinkie Pie and Applejack, "But we need you to be talking with other fans here" Applejack tilted her head in confusion," 'Scuse me?" Said Applejack. "We can't have any actors walking around with just these two, people might think you're stalking them." "Listen here, sugar cube.." Said Applejack looking a little annoyed but Shaggy intervenes. "Like it's ok, Janice" Said Shaggy getting in front of Applejack, "We were told by the security guards here to investigate all the strange goings on here, and we thought the actors here would be a great help, and they have been" "You hear that princess?" Said Pinkie Pie looking smug, "we're investigating" Janice looked puzzled, "Thou knows who we are dear Pinkie?" "Ruh?" Said Scooby looking confused. Janice shook her head, "Never mind, just try to stay out of trouble" Said Janice as she walks away. "Like what was that about?" Asked Shaggy. "I dunno, but something seems off about her." Said Applejack. "Let's follow her" Said Pinkie Pie "Like no way," Said Shaggy, "We're not gonna follow a suspect, what if she turns into the demon bird and toasts us" "Baked" Said Pinkie Pie, "she might bake us" "I don't think that's gonna help Pinkie," Said Applejack, "Tell you what, if we all follow Janice, I'll give you a gold bit" "We don't need gold," Said Shaggy, "and if you're trying to bribe us, you should offer something we really like" "What kind of feller doesn't want gold?" Said Applejack surprised. "Alright listen up hippy and doggy" Said Pinkie Pie, "I'll give you a Scooby Snack if you go with us to see where Janice goes" "Nope, we're not going with you" Shaggy said crossing his arms. "Okie Dokie, how about two?" Said Pinkie Pie pulling two Scooby Snacks from the box/. "Well..." Said Shaggy thinking about it. "Four, and I'll throw in a pudding" Said Pinkie Pie, finally. Shaggy and Scooby looked interested now. "Alright, deal" Said Shaggy as Pinkie threw two pieces each to Shaggy and Scooby and handed them both Vanilla pudding. "How much food do you even have in there?" Asked Applejack "Enough" Said Pinkie Pie. Author's Note Looks like the group found their first suspect. The mystery is moving along nicely
Chapter 3After a day of asking people about the monster and having fun, The Mystery Gang decided to investigate more after dark. When they arrived at the convention late at night, the gang was greeted by the two guards, Tim and Philip they had met earlier. "Hey you kids," said Tim, "You all ready to explore this place?" "Yes we are" said Fred, holding a flashlight. "Ok, so here's what we'll do," explained Daphne, "Fred, Velma and I will go with Philip and Tim to the security room and check any rooms for employees. Shaggy and Scooby will go check the storage where they keep all the props, balloons and equipment." Fred raised an eyebrow, "Hey, since when do you get to decide who goes where?" Fred always led and had the gang split up to search for clues in the past. It used to bother him how many times other members of the gang thought of a plan but he didn't let it bother him because they came up with great ideas. "Oh," said Daphne surprised, "Sorry, did you have a plan, Fred?" "No, that's a good plan" said Fred, "Ok, gang, let's get to work" While Fred, Daphne and Velma went with the guards, Shaggy and Scooby were in the storage area, looking around. As they looked, they saw lots of stuff like fake trees, Paper Mache castles and a funhouse mirror. "Like wowie, Scoob" Said Shaggy amazed, "This place doesn't look half bad" "Rea" said Scooby. "I wonder if they got a Cotton Candy machine or something" said Shaggy. Of course Shaggy would be thinking of food in a time like this, even during a case about a monster, Shaggy and Scooby were always wanting a snack. They would've been eating Scooby Snacks, their favorite snacks for dogs and people, but they emptied the last box while they were on the road. Suddenly they heard a noise. "Zoinks!" panicked Shaggy, "Like what was that?" "Ri runno raggy" said Scooby nervously. "Maybe it was just a mouse or maybe one of the people who works here, or-GAH!" screamed Shaggy as he turned around and saw an ugly looking figure in front of him. "Raggy?" asked Scooby looking at Shaggy. "Oh whew, it's alright Scoob, it's just the funhouse mirror" Indeed, Shaggy got spooked by his twisted reflection the funhouse mirror. "Reeheehee" Scooby giggled, "Rot rared ry rat" "I know right?" said a voice, "That was really funny" Shaggy and Scooby looked around frantically when they heard the voice. They looked and looked but they didn't see anyone around. "In here" said the voice as Shaggy and Scooby turned to face the mirror. Right in front of them in the mirror was a small pink pony looking back at them smiling and waving. "Hi there!" said the pony "Oh wow, this mirror has Pinkie Pie," said Shaggy, "I don't remember this from the show" "What show?" said Pinkie Pie disappearing from the mirror. She didn't poof into smoke or in a flash of light, she was just gone. "You mean My Little Pony?" Pinkie Pie said, appearing right behind Shaggy and Scooby. "Or Blue Falcon?" said Pinkie Pie appearing again in the mirror, Shaggy and Scooby looked a bit scared of what was going on. "Oooh, did you see me in The Banana Splits, whatever that is" said Pinkie Pie appearing behind them. "Like Zoinks!" said Shaggy, "Are you the Real Pinkie Pie?" "Weeell.." began Pinkie Pie, "There are 3 of me, four if you count that scary Pinkie" "Ront remind me" said Scooby nervously "But there is only one me where I come from, that and a lot of other Pinkie's that live in a magic pool, and that one Pinkie I had pancakes with, oooh, and one time, Discord made a me that was gold, a Gold Pinkie Pie, also.." Pinkie Pie continued rambling on when Shaggy finally stopped her. "Like hold on," Shaggy began, "You're really Pinkie Pie, you're not some robot or actor in a costume?" "Of course I'm Pinkie, silly" said Pinkie Pie, "I've never seen the show we're all on but I reeeeally want to, but I can't, I'm working a case" "Like oh boy" said Shaggy, "Tell me you're not chasing a giant bird man with huge wings and is on fire" "Okie Dokie Lokie" said Pinkie Pie smiling, "I'm not chasing a giant bird man with huge wings and is on fire" "Oh good" said Shaggy relieved "Me and my friends are looking for a magical artifact that has a ton of cool and dangerous power that got lost through a magic portal and may be in this place" "Like man, why did you have to say that?" said Shaggy Suddenly, they heard a mysterious laugh booming in the storage area. Things were not looking good for Shaggy, Scooby and their new friend. Author's Note Wow, Shaggy and Scooby just met Pinkie Pie, what's going to happen next? But how did Pinkie Pie end up in a convention all about her friends and what did they all just run into? Hopefully they can crack this mystery the next time
Chapter 4"Mr. Wagner is in charge around here," said Tim "He runs the whole building and sees over every fandom that gets used here" "Is he here at night?" asked Daphne, walking next to Tim. "Most of the time, he's always busy and when he's busy, he's cranky" Explained Philip, walking behind them. Suddenly a noise on Tim's radio went off and Tim reaches to answer it. "This is Tim, go ahead" responded Tim. A voice spoke out of the radio, "Found something weird by the front entrance, you might wanna take a look, maybe need more help, over" "Aw, great, ok you kids go on without us," said Tim, "Surveillance room is up ahead, there's the janitor's closet and there's an elevator that goes up to Mr. Wagner's office" As they leave, Fred, Daphne and Velma walk to the surveillance room when they hear a clattering sound. It sounded like it came from the janitors closet. "Jeepers, what was that?" said Daphne alarmed. "I don't know but let's find out" said Velma as she reached the door handle to the closet. "Be careful" said Fred cautiously. Velma swung open the door only to see a bunch of rags and a bucket facing upside down on the floor, and then the pile began to move with a voice calling out. "EEEK!" shouted the voice, "My mane's gonna be ruined", the voice seemed to be very distressed, and it sounded like whoever was speaking was crying. "Hello?" Daphne asked, "Do you need some help?" "I'm very capable of getting out of messes, darling" the voice snapped. The pile raised up and fell apart as a figure stood up from out of the pile and Fred, Daphne and Velma's jaw dropped. Right there in front of them was a pony. She had a snow white coat of fur, piercing blue eyes and small horn coming out of her forehead. But something was off about this creature, both her mane and tail were purple. "What the heck is that?" said Velma surprised "How dare you!" said the pony abruptly, "I am not a what, I am a who, and who I am is Rarity" "Wait, as in Rarity from the show?" asked Daphne "What show? I have never been in a play, darling" said Rarity, "But I would be honored to play a role" "She means My Little Pony, the TV show you're supposed to be from" said Velma adjusting her glasses. "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, miss" said Rarity, brushing off pieces of paper towels off her back, "Now if u don't mind, I have to go find my friends who left me all alone to look for the element." Fred, Daphne and Velma were very confused at this point. Who or what was this thing talking to them, and why did it look and sound like a character from a kids show. Fred thought it was a kid in a costume, Velma had the same thought as Fred and she also believed it was a robot. Daphne didn't know what to think, she had watched My Little Pony in the past and really enjoyed Rarity and everything she did on the show, but to see Rarity right in front of her talking, she didn't know whether to believe it was really her or something fake. Finally Daphne decided to speak. "Wait, what exactly are you looking for?" Daphne asked. "I'm trying to find a jewelry that belongs to a friend of mine, but so far the only things I have found are crumbled up pieces of paper and dirty water" Rarity said repulsed. "This jewelry belongs to your friend?" asked Fred, "So there's more people here?" "Not people, darling, ponies" Rarity replied, "We would've brought Spike but he was fast asleep, we didn't want to wake him" "Uh huh," Velma said rolling her eyes, "So your magical friends are in the convention that is featuring a TV show you all came from, a show that you don't even know about, and your searching for some magical jewelry of some kind?" "Not just any jewelry, an Element of Harmony" Explained Rarity. "Oh brother" groaned Velma. Suddenly they hear a scream and turn away from the closet to see Shaggy and Scooby running towards them and behind them followed a yellow and orange glow. "Like run for your lives!" Yelled Shaggy, "It's a flaming bird man!" "What in the name of-AH!" Rarity screamed as she saw the figure chasing Shaggy and Scooby "You heard the hippie, let's get out of here!" Yelled Pinkie Pie and the whole group ran away with Tartarus on their tail. Author's Note Another pony looking around in the convention? This is getting interesting. The next chapter will introduce more characters and have them face off against the villain.
Chapter 5"Like, he's gaining on us!" shouted Shaggy as he and the gang bolted into the main area in the convention building. "Hey birdie, have some cake!" Pinkie Pie, running next to Shaggy pulled a cake from out of her fluffy mane and threw it at Tartarus who completely ignored getting cake on him and continued flying after them. "Order up" Pinkie said as she throws another cake at Tartarus still with no effect. "Stop feeding him cake!" Velma said running in front of Pinkie. "I'm not feeding him cake" Pinkie shouted, "I'm assaulting him with cake!" The gang and ponies made to the center of the room with nowhere else to run to as Tartarus was soaring above them. "What in Celestia's name do you want?" said Rarity, hiding behind Fred. "The treasure," said Tartarus hovering over them, "I want the treasure." "There's no treasure here," said Fred, "This is just a convention" "You really have no idea what is here, do you?" said Tartarus, "Very well, if you won't leave me alone then you will have to perish" A flaming ball appears in Tartarus's hand as he raises it to throw at the group. Suddenly, Tartarus was struck by what appeared to be a beam of rainbow colored light and he falls down to the floor. "What was that??" Tartarus said getting up off the floor, "Show yourself!" he demanded. "Hey bird brain!" a voice called out, then another beam of light shoots out at Tartarus, sending him flying into a stand. The gang and ponies looked and saw what had saved them. A light blue figure floated down to the group and The Mystery gang could not believe what they were seeing. The figure was a bright blue pony with a rainbow colored mane and tail. She had Magenta colored eyes and a marking on her flank. It was a picture of a cloud with a lightning bolt coming out of it but the bolt had the colors red, yellow and blue on it. She also appeared to have wings. Finally the pony spoke, "You guys alright?" The gang didn't answer, they were just saved by a flying pony who looked like a child's drawing. "WOOOO!" Pinkie Pie shouted, "That was amazing, Dashie" "I know," the pony smiled, "I'm awesome" "You could've arrived sooner" complained Rarity. "I was busy" said the pony, "Besides, you could've handled it, you have magic" "But I'm not some self centered sporty Pegasus who loves looking at herself in the mirror' "She's right Dashie" said Pinkie Pie joining in on the conversation, "Rarity is a self centered Unicorn who loves looking at herself in the mirror" "Right, thank you for that Pinkie Pie" Rarity said putting a hoof to her face. Finally Fred spoke up, "Ok, who are you?" The blue Pegasus turned to Fred and smiled, "I'm Rainbow Dash" she said flying up with her wings "The coolest and fastest Pegasus there is" Rainbow Dash said doing a pose. "Let me guess," Velma said, "You're here looking for a magical artifact too?" "Yea, how did you know?" asked Rainbow Dash landing on the ground. "Are you all ok, we heard screaming" said a voice and the group turns around. 3 more ponies run up to the gang and other 3 ponies. One of them was a light purple unicorn with a dark purple mane and tail with a pink stripe on each. She had purple eyes and her flank had a picture what looked like a pink 6 point star surrounded by white sparkles. The second pony was a bright yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail, blue eyes and had mark on her flank consisting of 3 Butterflies. The third pony didn't have wings or a horn. She was an orange pony with green eyes, a blonde mane and tail, her mane and tail appeared to be tied like ponytails. She had a brown cowboy hat and a mark on her flank that resembled 3 red Apples. They gang looked at Pinkie Pie and Rarity and realized they had marks on their flanks too. Pinkie Pie's mark was 3 balloons, one yellow, two of them blue and Rarity's mark was 3 diamonds. "Hi Twilight Sparkle, hi Fluttershy hi Applejack!" said Pinkie Pie pointing to the purple, yellow and orange ponies. "What in tarnation happened?" Asked Applejack. "Some bird man in a cape was chasing after us and about to bake us like a pie" Said Rarity. "It looked more like he was going to fry you" said Rainbow Dash. "Well obviously he was gonna bake us like a cake" said Pinkie Pie jumping "Doesn't matter what he was going to do you, at least your safe" said Twilight. Fred looked down and saw Fluttershy avoiding eye contact with everyone and had her head turned. "Hi, I'm Fred, what's your name?" Fred asked. Fluttershy spoke with a soft and quiet voice, "I'm...Fluttershy" "There's no need to be scared, we're all friends here." Said Fred. Fluttershy looked up at Fred, "Sorry, I've always been shy around everyone" Fluttershy said. "Hate to cut the chit-chat, but can we find out who this feller is?" Applejack said pointing to Tartarus still on the wrecked stand. "The little girl is right, let's see who this bird man really is" said Velma and the whole group walks over to the stand. "Little girl?" asked Applejack with a raised eyebrow, "Sugar cube, I'm not a Filly, I'm a grown pony" Velma stopped and the rest of the group stopped and looked at her. "Look, this was fun while it lasted, but this is no time for fun and games, as soon as we unmask Tartarus, you need to fess up." Said Velma to the six ponies. "Exactly what do you think we are?" asked Twilight. "You're either kids in costumes or robots, there's no such thing as magic or demons or anything supernatural." said Velma. "Oh yea" said Pinkie Pie, "If I were a robot, could I do this?" Pinkie Pie jumped up in the air and expanded like a balloon and then exploded into glitter all over the floor and in a snap she was back to normal like nothing even happened. "Well that was.....an impressive trick" Velma said, "But that could've been caused by anything, maybe the robot got destroyed and you used illusions to make another robot appear in thin air" "Or maybe.." Twilight said, "Pinkie Pie has magic, she may be an Earth Pony but she has more abilities and magic than I do." "Like where did mister bird man go?" Shaggy pointed and the group looked. Shaggy was right, Tartarus had disappeared. "Well that's just great, while you all were talking nonsense, the bad guy got away" Velma said. Rarity gasped, "This is not our fault darling, you're the one who decided to stop and have a chat." "Simmer down you two," Applejack said, "We can find him later, it's dark and I think we're all tired" "Applejack is right" Said Fred, we need to get out here and find out what Tartarus wants from this place. "There's a library near by," Said Twilight, "We could do research on this building using old city records." "Can we get some food first, I'm starving," Said Pinkie Pie. "Like us too," Said Shaggy with Scooby nodding his head. "Alright gang and...ponies" Said Fred, "We'll leave, get something to eat and think of a plan for tomorrow." As they leave, a figure had been watching them from above, a dark blue figure with a horn. Author's Note Looks like the gang and Mane Six still have work to do, hopefully they find out what the villain wants and who he is.
Chapter 6In the morning, the gang and ponies decided to split up. Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie Pie and Applejack would be in the convention asking questions and looking around. Velma and Twilight were going to be in the library searching old records of the city to find out why the convention was so important to Tartarus. Fred, Daphne, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash meanwhile, were going to be in the convention looking in the storage area and reviewing security footage to find clues. Velma and Twilight were in the library basement looking for records. the whole basement was covered in cobwebs and everything was dusty. "This place could really use a clean" Said Twilight brushing past the cobwebs. "Try looking for a book or a box that has less dust than everything else," Said Velma, "Maybe someone picked something out that could help us" Twilight looked at Velma with a glare, "You really don't believe in magic, do you?" Velma turned to Twilight and said, "I spent my whole life reading about facts, books on science and technology, and learned anything that looked like magic was just a trick done by someone doing science or using a machine." "If I lived in your world I would've believed that too, and I have often thought about not using magic at all and instead using science and whatever contraption somepony made to make life easier" Explained Twilight. Velma smiled at Twilight, "That's really good thinking, too bad it came from a unicorn" Twilight laughed at that comment, "And I had to hear magic wasn't real from a human" Twilight and Velma continued to search until Twilight found something. "Hey, I think I found something" said Twilight as she lifted a book off the ground with her horn. Velma looked surprised seeing Twilight lift an object into the air just by having her horn glow and hold the book up with the same glow. "I'm just not gonna question that" Velma said. They read through the book. It was full of pictures of what the city was like many years ago, pictures of people who were long dead or just old. Then a page caught Twilight's eye. "Wait a minute," Twilight said and she points to a picture, "I think this where the convention is" "You're right, there used to be a bank there," Velma said, "But it got torn down, that was a long time ago, and it says before the bank was demolished, there was a robbery. The crook was arrested but the money was never found" "Rainbow said Tartarus wanted a treasure, and he wanted everyone out the convention" Said Twilight. "Tartarus must think that missing money is somewhere in the convention" said Velma. "I know my element is also in the convention, I'm able to track it" Said Twilight. "What exactly is your element" Asked Velma. "Magic." said Twilight, "It's a gem full of powerful magic and when it's joined with other elements, the power is so great and it can wipe out any evil" "So if Tartarus got a hold of it.." began Velma. "The Element of Magic used to be mine to wield but since it's in this dimension, the rules have changed, anybody could use it for whatever they want. "Well assuming magic is real, and I'm not saying it is, "said Velma, "We need to find your element before someone gets hurt." "Then let's go," Said Twilight, and they leave the library. Author's Note Twilight and Velma seem like a good team. Hope they rest of the gang and ponies are doing doing good too.
Chapter 7"Ugh, this place looks terrible, even my trash bin is cleaner than this" Said Rarity disgusted. Fred, Daphne, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were in the storage area looking for clues. Shaggy, Scooby and Pinkie Pie had been chased out the place before so perhaps Tartarus was there for another reason other than to scare off people. "Well it may be filthy, but places like these usually have lots of clues" Said Daphne. "So this is what you guys do always," Said Rainbow Dash, "Just going from place to place, solving mysteries?" "That about sums it up" Said Fred. Fluttershy was walking slowly behind the group, she didn't like exploring dark places. Daphne turned to look at Fluttershy, "It's ok Fluttershy, just stay close to us and you'll be safe." Said Daphne. "Ok," Replied Fluttershy as she flew over to the group. "So, you're part of an acrobatic group called.." Fred began. "The Wonderbolts," Finished Rainbow Dash, "We perform sick moves in the sky, and sometimes even save lives." "Do you ponies have the Olympics?' Asked Fred. "Uhhh, no? I don't think anypony knows what that's supposed to be." Said Rainbow Dash. Fred was still getting used to the fact he was talking to a Pegasus, a flying pony, he never encountered the real supernatural before. Even if he was still having trouble believing in everything that had happened, Fred did enjoy talking to Rainbow Dash, she was tough, brave and he even liked her appearance, he always liked the color blue, he even wanted The Mystery Machine to be blue. "Everyone, I think you may want to see this" called out Rarity, pointing to a big stack of boxes. The group walked over to where Rarity was pointing and saw there was an opening between the stacks. As they walked around the boxes they saw a big hole in the ground and what appeared to be a sledgehammer and a drilling machine. "What is all of this?" Asked Fluttershy. "Looks like someone's been digging in this spot" Said Daphne. "But why, what for?" Said Fred. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened, "I bet they're looking for the Element of Magic" Said Rainbow Dash surprised. This time Daphne looked surprised, "Wait, Twilight's element, one of the six elements of Harmony?" Asked Daphne. "That's right," Said Rarity, "If someone is looking for that then we might all be in danger." "Wait, why would this element even be here in the first place?" Asked Fred. Fluttershy sighed and the group looked at her and then she finally spoke up. "Twilight was practicing a spell while I was carrying a box with the Elements of Harmony inside of it, but then a portal opened up and I got scared and dropped the box, I picked almost every element off the ground except one and it got swept away." Rainbow Dash walked over to Fluttershy and put a hoof on her shoulder. "You didn't do anything wrong," Said Rainbow Dash, "Everybody gets scared and Twilight's portal wasn't working that well so it wasn't supposed to suck anything up." "Yea accidents happen" Said Rarity. "So the portal that led to this world was made by Twilight," Fred said. "And the portal was unstable or something?" Daphne asked. "That seems to be the case" Said Rainbow Dash. "So you all just jumped through the portal without thinking about whether or not you would survive," Said Fred, "That was awfully brave." "Applejack was the first one to go in, and as friends we followed along with her," Said Rarity, "But I never thought we would end up in a world like this." "So what do we do now?" Asked Fluttershy. "We should explore what's down that hole when we have the whole gang and your friends here," Said Daphne, "We should get out of here, Rainbow?" Rainbow Dash was over by the funhouse mirror making faces. "Rainbow!" Shouted Rarity. "Sorry," Said Rainbow Dash, "I just look so silly in this"
Chapter 9Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie and Applejack were following Janice, who was heading towards the storage area. Something about Janice seemed off to the group and they thought she could be a suspect. "She's heading for the storage area, that's where our other friends are!" Said Pinkie Pie panicking. "Like what do we do now?" Said Shaggy, also panicking. "Alright, listen up," Said Applejack looking confident. "As soon as she opens the door that place, I'll make a run at her and push her into the room, then Y'all come over and shut the door so we can be alone with her." "Rat if she roots a rire rall rat us?" Said Scooby. "Scuse me?" Said Applejack raising an eyebrow. "What Scooby is trying to say is what if she bakes us with one of her fireballs?" Said Pinkie Pie. "Then I'll just kick her" Said Applejack. "Like wowie," Said Shaggy surprised, "I forgot how brutal you are." "Lets do it!" Said Pinkie Pie. Shaggy, Scooby and Pinkie Pie stood back as Applejack got ready to charge. As soon as Janice got the door and opened it, Applejack made a run for it. She galloped hard and fast towards the doorway and leapt, crashing into someone on the other side. "GAH!" Yelled a voice, "Feels like a train hit me." "Whoops" Said Applejack, "Sorry, Fred." Applejack had tackled Fred by mistake. Velma, Daphne, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash ran to the pair as Fred got up. "You alright there sugar cube?" Asked Applejack. "Fine, yea, that was a good tackle" Said Fred brushing his shirt. "Good? Try awesome" Said Rainbow Dash holding out her hoof for a hoof bump but Applejack shook her head. "What on earth was that for?" Said Rarity. "Like we thought you were Janice, our guide." Said Shaggy. "And you decided to tackle her." Said Daphne. "Her idea" Said Scooby, pointing a paw at Applejack. "Did you find anything?" Asked Fluttershy. "Only that Janice is a weird lady, she talked to us a bit funny." Said Shaggy. "I don't know if we can mark her as a suspect just because she talks a bit weird, guys" Said Fred. "How about the fact that she vanished into thin air?" Said Applejack. It was true, Janice had vanished as Applejack was running at Fred, the rest of the group should've seen her. "Ok that's a little weird" Said Daphne. "We found a hole in the floor in this room, we believe Twilight's element is down there." Explained Rarity. "What if that Janice already found the element and that's why she was able to disappear?" Said Rainbow Dash. The whole group fell silent thinking about what Rainbow Dash had said when a phone began to ring. Fred pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered. "Hello? Velma? What did you two find? Whoah, ok then. Listen, meet us back at the Mystery Machine. Ok, bye." Fred finished the call and hung up and turned to the others. "Ok, so it turns out there might be money buried under the convention." Said Fred. "Like gold?" Said Applejack. "Gold, cash, silver coins, lots of money" Said Fred, "Tartarus could be after that and not the element." "Well how are we gonna stop him?" Said Rainbow Dash. "Like you took him down easily the last time we saw him, you can do it again" Said Shaggy. "Well we can't just punch and kick him, we'll need to set up a trap." Said Fred. "You're thinking of one right now, aren't you? Said Daphne. "Yes I am, and it's gonna be a good one."
Chapter 10It was nighttime, and once again, the convention was closed. The Main room was empty, trash was on the floor and all was quiet. Suddenly, a figure covered in flames came down from the ceiling, gliding over the stands and landing by the door to the storage area. Tartarus opened the door to storage and walked over to where the hole in the ground was. There was a big tunnel underground lit with florescent lights on the walls. Tartarus made it halfway into the tunnel where he saw a hole on the side. He looked through the hole where he saw a satchel and picked it up. "Finally, great fortune is finally mine." Said Tartarus, opening the satchel. Suddenly a head poked out of the satchel. "Surprise!" Said Pinkie Pie, taking out a bazooka and blasting confetti in Tartarus's face. "Gah!" Tartarus yelled, throwing the satchel and flying away. Tartarus flew across the tunnel and up the hole when he runs into a net covering the opening. Tartarus's wings burned through the net and he tried to go up to the ceiling when something appeared to be pulling him. "What is this?" Tartarus said, trying to break free from the pull but gets dragged to a spot that appeared to be covered in tarp. "It's called science." Said Velma coming out of the shadows. "And it may not be magic, but it's still really handy." Said Twilight Sparkle, joining her. Fred also appears and removes the tarp from where Tartarus was stuck as his armor starts to make noises and sparks fly. The thing that had Tartarus stuck was a big metal cabinet with lots of wires attached to it and was making a magnetic field clinging Tartarus's armor to the cabinet. The rest of both of groups joined the others as Tartarus continued to struggle. "Now let's see who this bird man really is." Said Velma as she pulled off Tartarus's mask. It was Philip, the security guard. "Philip??" Everyone said, shocked. "But why?" Asked Daphne. "Isn't it obvious?" Said Philip, "I wanted to find that stolen money so that I could get rich, this job doesn't pay me enough." The police, Mr. Wagner and Tim, the other security guard all arrived at the scene. "Philip?" Said Tim, surprised. "But that's not possible, we were both there the night Tartarus appeared, how can you be him?" "Actually we can explain that" Said Velma, lifting a giant bag and opening it up. There was the Tartarus costume inside the bag but it looked slightly different. "You used this animatronic made from a griffin and human animatronic that was in storage, to make a Tartarus duplicate so that you wouldn't be a suspect." Said Velma "That night, you used a remote control to make the Tartarus animatronic say what you wanted it to say and even had it fly using wires on the ceiling." Added Fred. "And had the balloons rigged to cannisters that would fill them up with too much air so they would pop." Said Shaggy. "But what about the flaming wings and fireballs?" Asked Tim. Velma knelt down and lifted Philip's arm to reveal a small device on him. "I've seen a device like this before, it just shoots out wads of flash paper, he was never gonna burn or bake us, he was trying to scare us off." Explained Velma. This time Mr. Wagner Spoke. "I can understand the flying with wires using the animatronic, but how did he fly when it was just him?" "Another cannister in his suit, it uses a special compound that can make anything float in the air, sort of a Super Helium, he used it to fly." Said Velma. "I knew there was something fishy about your resume," Said Mr. Wagner, "All that education, all those degrees and you wanted to be a security guard." "A security guard for a convention that focuses on TV shows and movie series, it was amazing doing my job here, until you stopped giving me my usual pay. I would've had millions if it wasn't for those meddling kids and those...those animals" Said Philip. "Rooby rooby roo!" howled Pinkie Pie and everyone stares at her, "What? I really wanted to say it."
Chapter 11After the police took Philip away, a huge crowd of people were talking to every pony except Twilight who was talking with the Mystery Gang. Twilight handed Velma a book with a sun on the cover. "Keep this, we'll be able to talk to each other any time." Said Twilight. "Thanks, I guess." Said Velma smiling. "It's still hard to believe isn't it? Us with all of these powers and we're not humans in disguise?" Said Twilight. "Actually I'm ok with this, I'm just glad we all got to solve a mystery where there was a man in a costume." Said Velma. The five ponies trotted to Twilight and the gang. "Everyone loved me, they said I was divine" Said Rarity proudly. "Those girls really loved my cupcakes" Said Pinkie Pie with a big smile. "Everyone was asking me to do a Sonic Rainboom but I don't know if they're really ready for that." Said Rainbow Dash. Janice walked over to the group, she seemed pleased. "Well done everyone, you all succeeded in stopping the villain from causing great havoc across the realm" Said Janice "But like, we saw you enter the the storage area but the rest of the gang didn't see you enter, how did you disappear?" Asked Shaggy. "Well, I may have used a little magic to aid myself in not being caught" Said Janice, who pointed to the side of her navy blue skirt which had a moon crescent surrounded by a black blot. "Luna??" Every pony said, shocked. "Indeed," Said Luna, "I arrived in this realm to be sure that you all would be able to find the element and help anyone on the way." "But why didn't you just tell us?" Asked Twilight. "My sister wanted this mission to be all up to you, but I had noticed something else was happening in this world that may distract you, so I arrived here in disguise trying to look for the element myself, and I found it." Said Luna holding up a purple gem. "My element!" Twilight exclaimed and hugged Luna, "Thank you so much," Twilight then paused and let Luna go to bow to her, "I mean thank you very much, your majesty." Luna giggled, "It's quite alright Twilight, the hug was most appreciated." "Wow, you're a princess?" Said Daphne, "You must get a lot of attention" "Not as much as my sister, but I don't mind at all." Said Luna, "Now I believe it is time for us to go." The gang and ponies said their goodbyes and when nobody else was around except them, all six ponies and Luna were enveloped in a ball of rainbow colored like and shot into the skies and disappeared. "So Velma," Said Daphne elbowing Velma, "Do you still not believe in magic?" "Well," Said Velma, "It's still hard to wrap my head around but I won't bother to try and find a logical explanation for it." "It was a lot of fun seeing them, and we can write to them anytime we want." Said Fred, getting into the Mystery Van and the gang joined "Yea and like, me and Scoob can share recipes with Pinkie and bake some yummy cakes." Said Shaggy. "Rea! Rummy rakes." Said Scooby. The Mystery Van drove off into the night, the Mane Six were gone but not forgotten, the gang would not see them for a while, but perhaps someday they will all meet again.
Chapter 1Author's Note I enjoy Scooby Doo and My Little Pony so of course I wanted to make a crossover. It seemed right to make a monster and mystery for the gang while also including characters from the show who are the real Mane Six. Chapter 1 "Will these people ever learn?" said the security guard as he picked up a soda can from off the ground. It was just after dark and the BronyCon building was officially over for the night. BronyCon was a convention for a popular TV show called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It was a show full of unicorns, Pegasus, dragons and much more, but the security guard did not enjoy it. "You alright there Tim?" said a voice Tim, the security guard, turned and saw his friend, another security guard named Philip. "I'm fine, just finding trash all over this dump" said Tim, looking annoyed. "Come on, it's not that bad, a lot of happy kids love coming here, it's like a big wonderland." said Philip delightfully. "Yea whatever, as long as it's quiet here I can manage.", said Tim. Suddenly they hear a noise, it sounded like a balloon popping. "What was that?" Tim asked, looking around with his flashlight. "Probably just a stray balloon, might've hit the ceiling." said Philip More balloons started popping all around the area the two guards were in, and then smoke started to appear. "Hey, whoever you are, this isn't funny, show yourself! shouted Tim. From out of the smoke stood a figure on top of a beam on the ceiling. He looked like a bird man, with a beak for a mouth and yellow eyes but he was also wearing armor and a cape. He had claws on his hands and feet, his armor and cape was dark red, and his face was red and had a scar on his left eye. "HAHAHAHAHA," His laugh was deep and booming. "Leave this place if you value your lives, surrender this building to me, Tartarus: The Sun Bird." Tartarus leapt off the beam and flaming wings spread out from him as he flew over the guards and then vanished.
Chapter 8Shaggy, Scooby, Pinkie Pie and Applejack were exploring the convention having fun, they were supposed to be looking for clues, but Shaggy and Scooby hardly did that sort of thing. "Those cupcakes were amazing" Pinkie Pie said, eating the last cupcake and getting chocolate smeared around her mouth. "I'm just glad they had Apples here too" Said Applejack with a big smile. "Yea, like me and Scooby eat lots of tasty food," Said Shaggy, "Too bad we don't have any Scooby Snacks" "Rea" Said Scooby with his head down. "Oooh, I have some!" Said Pinkie Pie as she reaches into her mane and pulls out a box of Scooby Snacks. "Wow," Said Shaggy, "Where did you get these?" "I'll never tell" Said Pinkie Pie. "It's just Pinkie Pie, we don't ever question it" Said Applejack. Janice, the guide who worked in the convention walked over to the group. "I'm sorry you two," Janice said pointing to Pinkie Pie and Applejack, "But we need you to be talking with other fans here" Applejack tilted her head in confusion," 'Scuse me?" Said Applejack. "We can't have any actors walking around with just these two, people might think you're stalking them." "Listen here, sugar cube.." Said Applejack looking a little annoyed but Shaggy intervenes. "Like it's ok, Janice" Said Shaggy getting in front of Applejack, "We were told by the security guards here to investigate all the strange goings on here, and we thought the actors here would be a great help, and they have been" "You hear that princess?" Said Pinkie Pie looking smug, "we're investigating" Janice looked puzzled, "Thou knows who we are dear Pinkie?" "Ruh?" Said Scooby looking confused. Janice shook her head, "Never mind, just try to stay out of trouble" Said Janice as she walks away. "Like what was that about?" Asked Shaggy. "I dunno, but something seems off about her." Said Applejack. "Let's follow her" Said Pinkie Pie "Like no way," Said Shaggy, "We're not gonna follow a suspect, what if she turns into the demon bird and toasts us" "Baked" Said Pinkie Pie, "she might bake us" "I don't think that's gonna help Pinkie," Said Applejack, "Tell you what, if we all follow Janice, I'll give you a gold bit" "We don't need gold," Said Shaggy, "and if you're trying to bribe us, you should offer something we really like" "What kind of feller doesn't want gold?" Said Applejack surprised. "Alright listen up hippy and doggy" Said Pinkie Pie, "I'll give you a Scooby Snack if you go with us to see where Janice goes" "Nope, we're not going with you" Shaggy said crossing his arms. "Okie Dokie, how about two?" Said Pinkie Pie pulling two Scooby Snacks from the box/. "Well..." Said Shaggy thinking about it. "Four, and I'll throw in a pudding" Said Pinkie Pie, finally. Shaggy and Scooby looked interested now. "Alright, deal" Said Shaggy as Pinkie threw two pieces each to Shaggy and Scooby and handed them both Vanilla pudding. "How much food do you even have in there?" Asked Applejack "Enough" Said Pinkie Pie. Author's Note Looks like the group found their first suspect. The mystery is moving along nicely
