Chapter 1

"Hold up, Daphfantics," Daphne Blake said as she began her podcast with her friend Rarity. "We're back with 'Jeepers! It's Daphne and Rarity'. Later on, in the show, you get a sneak peek of the modeling portfolio,"

"And my latest dresses' for Spring Fever," Rarity added.

"Most of you keep posting videos or comments asking me or Rarity about another career as a mystery-solving teen monster-buster," Daphne explained. "Like this video from ALEXSUPERFAN2112."

"I heard you are responsible for breaking up the greatest band in history," as ALEXSUPERFAN2112 was live. " 'THE ALEX SUPER EXPERIENCE. Is that true?"

"Of course, my good man," Rarity said yes. "It started when the band accidentally conjured up the ghost of Mamba Wamba, no good creepy voodoo witch doctor. Oh. look we have a live video chat."

Another screen pop-up shows Fred Jones and Rainbow Dash.

"Hi, Daph. Rarity." Fred greeted them.

"What's up!" Rainbow said hello as well.

"Hey, you two," Daphne greeted them back.

"Great show," Fred said. "I just wanted to point out that Velma has taught us again and again, there are no such things as ghosts."

"Yeah," Rainbow joined in. " Mamba Wamba pretended to be an otherworldly witch doctor. He was a music producer who got performer Lila to pretend to be a zombie to steal a potential and a hit pop song."

"Oh. Wait, what?"

Another screen pops this showing Shaggy Rogers, Scooby, Spike, James 'Jestro' Robinson, Pinkie Pie , and Fluttershy, eating burgers and ice cream.

"Hey, girls," Jestro greeted them.

"Jestro, Pinkie, Shaggy, Scooby, Spike, Fluttershy," Daphne greeted them back.

"But I think the case was the one with the green phantoms," Shaggy thought about remembering the green ghouls.

"Oh, right," Rarity thought about it as well. "Those two ghouls turn out to be Creeps and Crawls, crooked aptly named lawyers."

"We're in a tight spot," Daphne explained further. "But once again, thanks to Velma's brilliance solved the musical riddle and saved our lives."

"Uh, thought we were gonna see your modeling pics and dresses." A follower said then pop Velma Dinkley and Twilight Sparkle or Sci-Twi not confuse with Princess Twilight.

"Oh, hi Velma, Twilight." Daphne greeted both of them.

"Hi," Velma said. "Great show."

"Thanks! Hey, I was just singing your brain's praises."

"I know both of us were watching, but that just numbering crunching."

"It's yours and Rarity's magnetism that allows getting close enough to bust these sociopaths," Twilight chimed in then pulled up a video of a guy with a mask riding sharks. "Like this one, remember Old Ironface?"

"Do I ever," Daphne said. "He was Café owner Mamma Mione. Masquerading as the ghost of the weird pirate or something to help convicts escape prison."

"Wait, Like your thinking of Redbeard's Ghost," Shaggy said. "OHH! That dude was creepy."

"Yeah, creepy," Fluttershy shivered a bit then Applejack and Sunset Shimmer appeared.

"That's right," Applejack agreed. "At least until we found out it was he was C.L Magnus."

"A shipping magnate who stole from himself to pocket the insurance," Sunset explained.

"Mm-mhm," Party agreed with her. "Hi, Dapnfantic, what's your question?"

Then a guy with a suit came on and spoke. "What? Oh, no. I just searched 'Velma Dinkley' and this website came up. I have an urgent message for her. My name is Cuthbert Crawly. I'm her lawyer for her family."

"Lawyer? Family?" Velma stutters a bit. "Uh... clearly this is a scam."

"Scam?" Rarity asked. "Good heavens!"

"Rarity, the internet isn't exactly the reliable source for info, Nobody checks anything. I mean look at this a super-suit please and with tiny agents that sit inside of these things? Laughable!"

"Velma, you're ruining the show," Daphne shrieked. "Besides the beauty of the Internet is the freedom of information."

"Not to mention all the cool stuff, you buy," Spike said.

"Velma, please!" Cuthbert said. "This a family emergency. You come to my office as soon as possible. I'm texting you my address."

"Whoops looks like we lost him. Moving on?"

"He said it was an emergency. We need to meet him right away." Fred interrupted.

"We don't Freddie." Velma trying to reason with him." Really."

"Come on, gang, time's-a-wasting," Fred and the others turn off their screens.

"Well, everyone that's all now," Daphne said. "Keep liking us, please."

"Boy, it's great to have the gang back together," Fred said. " Let's go!"

"Fred, you don't have to go to the trouble of-" Velma tried to stop him.

"Nonsense. A road trip is what we all need. Come on, gang let's go see this lawyer Crawley."

"Wait, is the Mystery Machine ready?'

"Is she ready?"

One Quick Drive Later the guys were Crawly's location.

"She's ready," Fred said confidently. "Record time once again. Oh, careful gang, I just had her detailed and her flowers touched up." And everyone got out.

"Daph, fingerprints," Fred reminded her as he hugged his van. "Let's keep her as shiny as we can as long as we can. I know it won't last forever but I have to try. You are such a beauty."

The girls gave confused looks to each other.

...

"Velma, you are the sole beneficiary of your great-great-uncle Baron Basil's estate," Crawly said.

"Like, Mr . Crawley," Shaggy asked him while he, the dogs, and Pinkie ate the bowl of candy. "When you said the candy is complimentary do mean it's like free."

"Uh...yes," Crawley stuttered a bit. "As I was saying, due to an unusual proviso in the will, you Velma, as the youngest member of the Dinkleys, inherit the entire property in the castle in Transylvania.

"Transylvania?!" Shaggy, Scooby, and Fluttershy screamed.

"Heh-heh-I see." Crawly chuckled a bit. "Don't worry. This castle isn't in Eastern Europe. It's in Transylvania, Pennsylvania. It's a rural village of ethnic Transylvanians, who like the Amish choose to live in the more traditional 19th-century lifestyle."

"19th century?" Daphne and Rarity asked knowing they had no hair care products at that time then held each other.

"Well, you must be thrilled about this," Crawly exclaimed. "You'll be a woman of property and inherit all of your family's fortune."

"I don't want to do anything with my great-great-uncle Basil," Velma declined. "They can give all of it away for all I care."

"Give it away?" Pinkie gasped.

"Why wouldn't you want it?" Rainbow asked.

"Perhaps that's well just well," Crawly chimed in. " Considering all that talk about that supernatural curse hanging over the estate."

"Wait curse?!" Which caused Spike to jump into Twilight's arms.

"Yes," Crawley said. "It said that anyone who gets too close to the Baron's Legacy will they'll love the most and then utterly destroyed."

"Don't worry, dude," Jestro came in. "We'll stay away from the Baron's Legacy! And His armacy and his footacy!"

Everyone walked out of the Lawyer's room to the Mystery Machine.

"Velma, if you're related to a baron," Daphne started the conversation.

"It makes you royalty," Rarity gasped and continued it. "You can inherit a tiara."

"Why would you want your inheritance?" Fred asked. "You don't believe in the curse do you?"

"Of course, I don't believe in the curse," Velma shook her head. "You should know better than that. Just drop please Fred."

As they got closer to the Mystery Machine it started to beep louder and faster.

"Is it me or the van is broken?" Rainbow asked then Fred grabbed Daphne's arms.

"I know every sound the Mystery Machine makes and that is not one of them!" Fred exclaimed.

"Then what is the sound?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, horseapples!" Twilight gasps. "It sounds like a bomb! Take cover!"

*BOOM* As the van explode they heard an evil laugh they looked up at a saw man with a magician hat, black cape, and a mask laughing. As another mystery was on their hands.

Chapter 2

From where we left off the Mystery Machine went boom and saw a man laughing evilly at the sight as Fred started to tear a bit.

"That guy's is the worst parking lot attendant is history," Shaggy pointed up.

"That's no valet, Shaggy," Crawly explains. "That's the ghost of the baron, Velma's old ancestor and the source of the curse I mentioned earlier. Perhaps I should have been forthcoming of the details."

"Gee, you think," Scooby pointed out.

The smoke from the exploded van reveals a message.

"Stay away from Translyinana?" Daphne read the message.

"Don't worry," Jestro exclaimed. "We wouldn't be caught dead in that town."

"Sorry Jestro," Fred placed his arm around him. "But that is exactly where we're going."

"I don't know Freddie," Pinkie asked him. "We faced a lot of crazy creeps before, but this one just happen to blow up the Mystery Machine.

"And that's why we have to go. Together we have brought more than our share of villains, with nothing more than pluck, Jerry-rigged traps, and boxes of Scooby Snacks. And no better reason than the love of justice and my van and a knack for meddling and love for my van."

"Dude did you just say van," Rainbow asked.

"No, no, I didn't say van," Fred replied. "But now we find the forces of evil have to comes to us Why? We don't why? Who? We can't say. But there is one thing we can do know for certain.

"What?" Velma asked.

"They killed my van," As Fred started to cry. "This time-- this time it's personal."

"But, like, without the Mystery Machine," Shaggy chimed in. "How would even get there?"

Few Moments Later.

"The Transylvanian Express," Shaggy said while on the train. "Who'd a thunk there'd be a night train to a town I've never heard of?"

"He-he-he," Scooby started to laugh a bit. "Both me and Spike love this train."

"Like why?" Shaggy asked his best friend.

"Two words-- snack bar." Spike explained.

"Yeah, at least they have a snack bar," Shaggy smiled. "Don't mind if I do?"

Then he, Scooby, Pinkie, Jestro, and Spike approached the vendor.

"Garcon," Pinkie requested. "We'll take as many hamburgers and cupcake platters that fit on these trays and don't be afraid of stacking."

"Ma'am," the vendor spoke up. "Ze The Translyanin Express offers only tasty, rare traditional Carpathian delicacies."

"Carpathian what now?" Jestro now then realized Carpathian dishes are goat's head, blood sausage, and a lot of gross-out food.

"Eww!" Shaggy and Pinkie said being grossed out.

"Yuck!" Scooby and Spike yelled.

"Gross!" Jestro exclaimed.

Then outside of the train Baron watch them and laughed.

"What's this?" Daphne asked while looking at her phone.

"What's what, Daph," Sunset said in concern.

"It's that teen mystery solver gossip site," Daphne said. "I thought might be something about my modeling or whatever but check this out."

"What blue-speckled teen super sleuth hiding a terrible family secret." Chris read Daphne's phone. "Hint: she wears orange-knee socks every day."

"Velma, that's you," Fluttershy exclaimed.

"The truth is out on the Internet," Velma sighed as Shaggy and others sat down. "Well, it look like my big secret is exposed. I never want you guys to know. Did you wonder why I'm so obsessed with debunking the supernatural?"

"Being honest, we all assumed that you like to do that," Applejack asked.

"And I was curious to see why you so attached to wearing orange knees," Daphne asked receiving a glare from her. "Because you totally pulled them off."

Velma then sighed. "It's time you knew the truth. My crusade of the reason is the result of my deep family secret.

Velma's Flashback

"Like many immigrant families our original names was Americanized we when disembarked at Ellis Island from the Old Country."

America! Ve are free!

You can't stop here move it along

Name?

Von Dinkenstien!

Having no idea what he said the man translated to Dinkley.

"VON DINKENSTEIEN?!" Everyone but Velma screamed.

"Yes," Velma sadly agreed. "I am the direct descendent of the infamous 'Dr. Von Dinkensetin. Back in the old country, Legend had it that he was the man who created a monster. It was the story that inspired Mary Shelly to write her famous novel 'Frankenstein'. I don't believe that my ancestor ever succeeded. But the fame created by Shelly's story haunted my family. It was created by some of my relatives who achieved where my ancestors had failed. Basil reclaimed the Family name and its occupation."

She then noticed that Fred and Daphne were on their cellphones.

"Guys, did you ever hear a word of what I said?" Velma asked.

"Well yeah," Daphne replied. "Your great-great-great-uncle Baron Basil went crazy trying to recreate the experiments."

"Baron's monster run amok. Loss of income. Blow to tourism." Fred read his phone.

"That's on the internet," Velma wondered.

"Well yeah, like I said earlier that everything is on the web," Chris said.

"Never mind," Velma continued. "Yes, this is why I'm obsessed with solving supernatural phenomena and exposing them as hoaxes."

"And we thought you just loved solving a good mystery," Shaggy chimed in.

Suddenly the train started to move faster.

"Oh dear," Fluttershy gasped. "Is it just me or the train is going a little faster than normal."

"That's becaeuse we are!" Twilight gasped then look outside the window. "If we hit that turn at this speed, we'll be thrown off the tracks and plunged into the abyss below."

"Like oh no," Shaggy screamed. " I wouldn't mind being plunged into pudding or mac and cheese. But not the abyss. Please anything but that!"

"Yeah," Scooby agreed with him.

The train counted to move faster and faster until two traincars fell off.

"We're not slowing down," Applejack said in concern.

"I kinda wish I'd gone easy on the goat's head and ketchup," Pinkie stated then hurled outside of the train.

"Oh, no!" Rarity shrieked. "We're going to lose this car too."

"Come on, everyone," Sunset came in. "We got to save these innocent people before they all die."

The gang open the other door saw them.

"I think they might already be dead," Fred pointed out.

"Dude," Rainbow nudged his shoulder.

"All right, everybody move, next car," Fred demanded. The gang and the passengers move to the first passenger's car just three more fell off.

"Shaggy," Fred requested. "Try to reach the engineer!"

"We're on it," Shaggy said as he, Scooby, Rarity, Jestro and Spike made it to the back of the train door but it would open.

"It's locked!"

"What?!"

He said it's locked!

"Try Knocking it down!"

"Try What?!"

He said try knocking it down!

"What, are you nuts?!"

"What?!"

He said are you nuts!?

The train went down causing Shaggy and Jestro to break down the door both were and seeing the Ghost of Baron Von Dinkensetin.

Both of them started to cower while the Baron laugh evilly.

"You should have heeded my warning," The Baron said. "For now you have incurred the Von Dinkensetin Curse! Each will love what he loves most and then complete destruction!"

The Baron destory the controls and disappear in a puff of smoke. Both started to babbled.

"What was that!" Sunset asked them.

The passengers babbled as well

"Tell the conductor to slow the train down!"

"One problem," Jestro spoke up. "The conductor was The Baron and he just destroy the controls!"

"We're all gonna die," Shaggy said.

"What?" Sunset didn't hear that last part.

He said we're all gonna die.

Both Rarity and Scooby grabbed both of them before the train was on fire.

"It's all right! It's ok! The Scooby Gang will save the day Whoo! Yay!" Pinkie started to cheered.

"Uh, Pinks," Rainbow tried to get her attention. "Not the best time for a cheerlead."

"Wait, it is," Fred told her. "Pinkie is on to something."

The gang did a cheerlead formation with Applejack as the anchor keep the passenger car from going off track.

"Great it working," Twilight exclaimed. "AJ pulled is in."

Applejack pulled the others in.

"Nice going, with cheerleading gag," Rarity mentioned.

"We're not out this yet," Chris said. "Depot ahead."

"No time lose," Rainbow declared. "Jump off train!"

Chapter 3

Last time, Velma revealed her dark family secret, that she was related to Dr.Von Dinkensetin and the Baron had struck again and invoke the curse upon as put the train in chaos.

"We're not out this yet," Chris said. "Depot ahead."

"No time lose," Rainbow declared. "Everyone ,jump off train!"

Everyone jumped on the train before it exploded.

"No, no, no," Fred reassuerd everyone. "No need to thank us. We were just doing of job."

"What is meaning of this torn-up train?" One man asked. "Not to mentioned our town clock!"

"Well, you see-" Sunset started to explained.

"Actually sir, we just did this town and train company a huge service for saving so many lives " As Velma wiped her glasses.

"You! Girl Von Dinkensetin!" He said. "I'd know those glasses anywhere! No Von Dinkensetin is welcome in this town. It was your uncle monster did this to me."

He showed them his hand with the duster.

"Why did the Monster replace your hand with a duster?" Pinkie asked him.

"It took my hand, then I place the duster, those police barracks aren't to clean themselves, you know."

Then clean off the dust from Pinkie.

"Ooh, I feel all sparkly!"

"You can't blame Velma for something that her uncle did," Rarity exclaimed.

"Of course we can! We blame the entire family for the Von Dinkensetin Curse."

"Seriously?" Chris asked.

"Seriously, my good sir," as another man came from behind them. "I'm Mr. Burger, the Burgermeister of this Town."

"You're a Burger?" Shaggy asked.

"100%! and that means mayor!" He said. "Now to answer your question. Ever snice it was destroyed, The Baron's Ghost has haunted and tourism is dead and famed factory barley stay open."

"What the this town makes?" Fluttershy asked.

"We are the best at torch manufacturers in the north east, our burring pieces of wood are second to none. Allow me to demonstrate flame on!"

The entire town had their torches lit up then a little man tug Jestro's shirt.

"AHH!" Jestro exclaimed.

"Everyone you will come with me," The little man said.

"Uh guys, maybe we should do what this little man said," Twilight said.

"Hard to leave a giant burger behind, but *laughs* like where the car?" Shaggy asked.

Moments later they were riding on horseback riding to the castle.

"So, Mr. Guy who's driving us to down a isolated road to no knows where, we didn't quite catch your name," Rarity said.

"Me Iago, all generations Von Dinkensteins have hunchbacks for servant." Saying his name. "Bad posture bring good luck."

"Iago, you must know the family history," Fred pointed out. "Why does The Ghost of the Baron wear that metal mask?"

"Legend say in stormy November night, Baron work on his experiment. He been collecting part for project many months from zoo cemetery, harbor, and less savory places. He find creatures. mutants. cobble together. He was forced to finally give his life to creation. But to Baron's chagrin, the villagers became apprised of what he was about to do. They feared the worst, that such a creature assembled from parts discard would not know compassion or empathy and have only the capacity for destruction. The villagers put an end to both the Doctor and his abomination, so the monster was destroyed and the Baron's face permanently disfigured. That's why he wore the metal mask. But before he died years later. he vowed revenge and cursed the entire town for all eternality!"

"Eternity huh?" Spike said. "That's long time."

"Just a minute ago you spoke in grunts and ughs when did you become so vocally!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Uhh... Iago no understand brainy girl words?"

Then they arrive at the castle.

"Get a load of this grill, dudes," Chris said. "I wish we had that on the train, cause that face could stop a--"

Without know he touched a woman's face.

"My bad ma'am" Chris said.

"Goo evening and welcome to Von Dinkenstein Castle. Ve are so glad to have you." The housekeep said.

Everyone walked inside and the housekeeper closed the door.

"Quite a squeak," Fred pointed out. "I've got some DW-40 in the-"

He then remembers the the Mystery Machine went kaboom.

"Never mind."

"For our safety," The housekeeper locked it.

"What if we want to leave?" Fluttershy asked,

"Come find me. I have the only key." The housekeeper said then drops the key in her clothes making everyone having surprise faces. "Now Von Dinkenstein Girl.."

"Actually it's Dinkley and it's Velma, and this is Jestro, Daphne, Rartiy. Twilight, Sunset, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, Fred, Chris, Shaggy,Pinkie. Spike and Scooby."

"I am Mrs.Vanders the housekeeper at the castle. I will show to your rooms."

"This ought to be interesting," Twilight said,

"You said it," Spike agreed.

Chapter 5

"Welcome," The gang was greeted by Burgermeister. "Welcome to the Torch Festival."

"There don't seem to be many out-of-towners at your fair. Burgermeister Burger," Daphne potined out.

"That is because your friend's family's madness has cursed this town fraulein. But please, make yourself welcome."

"Guys, look!" Jestro grabbed Shaggy, Scooby, and Pinkie's attention look at the eating contest.

"Uh, what's a gogosi?" Scooby asked.

"I may not speak Transylvanian. but I know a doughnut when I see one," Shaggy said. "Like count us in!"

Shaggy and Scooby join the others. The bagpipe sounds and everything was eating but not as fast as Shaggy and Scooby as they were the lead.

"He is like one of us."

"Eat dog-boy, eat like the rest."

Two of the competitors were out and only three remained.

"I'm gonna need some more chocolate sauce and powdered sugar down," Shaggy asked and one of the servers pour just of he requested.

The third compettor fell down and everyone cheered for Shaggy and Scooby.

"Never had one man swallowed so many gogosi. Even the one with fish eggs."

"Fish eggs?" Shaggy asked while Scooby burped.

...

"Oh, this is adorable," Daphne look at a dress while she and Rarity were in the clothing shop. "What do you think, Rarity?"

"I say it looks fashionable darling," Rarity agreed with her.

"Could I see this in size two?" Daphne asked the gysper. "To buy."

"Why? Fraulein, at the very least, you're acht."

"Ah, acht? An 8? I don't think so?"

"Ja. And here's the on;y one in that size."

"Jeepers. it does fit."

"My word, I have never seen anything so appalling."

"Is it the suit?"

"Worse, your hair."

"What happened to my hair? The Frizz. I use a sulfate smoothing shampoo. What's is happing?"

,,,

"You have prevailed in scarfing by the thousands our culture's signature treat," Burgermeister said as the crowd cheered. "To reward you, we present you with our signature garb- two sets of Traditional Ledhrosen."

"The short leather pant is durable and allows for freedom of movement," He explained as Shaggy and Scooby were wearing them. "Where the suspenders hold them for a secure fit and they have all the traditional embellishments."

"Like man, these threads are out of sight," Shaggy exclaimed.

...

"You've got a torch in Transylvania," Fred read one of the bumper stickers. "This would be perfect... I guess not."

"Still thinking about the van," Rainbow said.

"Yeah, everything in this store reminds me of her. she would love this antenna ball."

"Don't worry. partner," Applejack came to his aid. "You're going to be okay."

...
...

"And here is the grand prize," Burgermeister showed them something.

"Look, Scoob. It's you and me made out of sausage," Shaggy said.

"A delicious blutentuwesn, the Transylvanian blood sausage. It must be eaten immediately."

"No problem there, we love anything made into anything into sausage."

Both of us tried to eat it but they resisted it.

"This like never happen before, but Scoob and I are full."

Twilight, Sunset, Chris, Fluttershy, and Jestro gasped while Pinkie squirted out the root beer she was drinking.

"Both of them are full? That's impossible!" Twilight shrieked.

"You reject the blutentuwesn, that is the greatest insult."

"No, it's not an insult. It's a compliment. We can't eat your signature cure meat because we're so full of your signature treat."

"Yeah, a compliment," Scooby added.

But the villagers didn't take it and started to gang on them after realizing that they bumped into Fred. Rainbow, and Applejack.

"I'm so glad to see you," Jestro confessed.

"Hey guys," Fred said in a defeated tone. "Is this the saddest day or what?"

"Never mind him, what the problem?" Rainbow asked.

"Shaggy and Scooby can't eat the blood sausage and we got an angry mob after us," Pinkie explained.

"Don't worry we hightail back to the-- drat."

"Oh, boy. he's still thinking about the van," Shaggy said.

"We need to find Daphne and Rarity and get out of here," Twilight said, and right on cue both of them bumped into Scooby and Spike.

"Sorry, Scooby," Daphne apologized.

"Pardon me, Spike," Rarity did the same.

"Our bad," Spike replied and noticing Daphne's hair. "Say Daph, did you do something with hair?"

"Don't look at me I'm hideous!"

Then the mob got closer.

"You got to hand it to them, this town really makes great torches," Jestro said. "They stay lit even in the rain."

Then Iago came on horseback.

"Quickly! You come. Iago takes you to the castle now," He said.

"Iago, you saved us!"

"Not save you. You save her first."

"Who?"

"Your friend. Her mind gone. Velma now insane!"

The gang hurried back to the Castle and headed to the lab. Mrs, Vanders tried to open the door but ut wouldn't open.

"Stand back everyone," Fred warned everyone. "I'm going to break the door down."

Fred rammed right into it but fell down upon impact.

"That door is solid oak. Too thick for Shaggy's head.

"Velma please let us in!" Daphne banged on the door then it opened and showed Velma.

"Welcome," She greeted making everyone scream.

"Velma, your hair," Daphne said in shock. "I mean... it's that bad."

"Come in." As everyone walked inside.

"You're just in time for my greatest triumph," Velma exclaimed.

"You mean you've debunked the legend of the Von Dinkensetin monster?" Fluttershy asked.

"Wrong. Just the opposite. I am now convinced that the Baron was right. He was a genius. This monster can be brought to life."

"It will live."

"But Velma, your whole life is about rejecting the supernatural, magic excluding us. and the weirdness except for Pinkie," Twilight came in.

"This isn't weirdness. This is science."

Then they heard banging on the door.

"We saw the strange lights in the castle," Burgermeister said as he, Inspector Cruch, and the townsfolk were on the side. "We know shenanigans are afoot. We demand to be let in!"

"No, I won't let you stand in the way of science.

"We'll put a stop to you and your creature!"

"Let ze ramming begin!" Inspector Cruch exclaimed while townsfolk prepare the battering ram,

"Iago, quickly the generator!"

Iago turned on the generator.

"Turn on the centrifuge!"

Then turn on the centrifuge.

"Now the Humfier!"

Then activated the sprinklers.

"Not the hair!" Rarity shrieked.

"No! No more Monster!" Daphne screamed.

"Raise the platform."

Iago raised the frozen monster to the skylight and a thunderbolt struck it!

Chapter 6

"Is everyone okay?" Rarity asked.

"Like, let me check, " Pinkie volunteered. "Fred- he's ok. Daphne-Looking a little weird. Velma-Totally nuts. Iago-"

"Iago stub toe," He said.

"Iago stub toe, Von Dinkensetin monster- a little freezer burn i think,"

Then the monster roared making everyone jump.

"Alive. It's alive! Alive!" Velma exclaimed. "It's alive. Really?"

"Don't worry I got iron -reinforced net in the-- dang It!" Fred groaned.

"You're really moving on, are you?" Twilight asked.

"I feel oddly not afraid," Shaggy admitted.

"Yeah, me too," Scooby added.

"Like, Hi there Mr. Franken Creep. You must be hungry. Have a Scooby Snack. It always makes us feel better."

"It sure does."

*Growls*

"No thanks, I'm good."

Both of them caught wind of it armpits.

"Phew! He really stinks! Just as he can't himself in the mirror because he's pretty hideous too."

The Monster was frightened of his own image.

"No don't turn away," Velma told it. "Look at yourself you're beautiful!"

The FrakenCreep roared and started to wreck stuff.

"Lucky we brought out torches," Burgermeister exclaimed. "Let's get him"

The villages rally behind him with torches only for the Franken Creep to extinguish all of them making the townsfolk run with it following them.

"You fools, you ruined everything.," Velma said furiously then looked at Daphne. "Jinkies. Daphne. You look terrifying."

"Ahh! I'm hideous," Daphne started to cry.

"No, don't turn away. Look at yourself. You're beautiful."

"Really?"

"No."

"Now that was just cold, Velma," Rainbow said to her as Daphne ran away.

"Fred, you have got to find my creation find it before those fools do."

"I'm sorry," Fred shook his head. "But without the Mystery Machine. I'm no monster-trapper. I'm nothing."

"Jinkies."

"Don't worry, Velma, Scooby, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Sunset, Twilight and I will find it for you," Shaggy spoke up.

"You will? You're volunteering to go after a monster. To go toward the danger?"

"Yep," Pinkie agreed then all of them went after it.

...

...

"Fred, you got to have some backbone," Rainbow told him as she, Chris, and Jestro went to check upon him.

"Without the Mystery Machine. Rainbow," Fred told her. "I'm useless as a mystery solver and as a man.

...

Meanwhile,

"Hush, darling," Rarity and Applejack consoled her. "Velma really didn't mean it."

"I warned you and your friends not to interfere," The Baron appeared right in the mirror. "Now you have brought the down upon your heads. Each of you will lose what you hold most dear."

"Is that why I lost my looks?' Daphne asked. "Is this because I'm cursed."

Daphne threw a glass jar and smash the mirror.

"My stars, it's a secret tunnel," Rarity exclaimed.

"It looks kinda creepy, but anything beats a thousand mirrors on a bad hair day."

All three girls venture inside and are found out to be in a cave.

...

...

"Sunset," Twilight asked while they ran to find the monster along with the others. "Is just me or Shaggy and Scooby acting really strange?"

"You're not only thinking that," Sunset agreed with her. "Not hungry, and having no such fear and running towards danger, something is off but I can figure out what."

"Just our curiosity, how brave are they?' Fluttershy asked.

"Brave enough to not be scared by the FrankenCreep's shadow," Spike said then FrakenCreep started to run.

"Come on, everyone, let's get him," Shaggy exclaimed as all of them chased it through the castle when they reached the corner The Frakencreep gets injected by a toxic dart.

"Velma. you got here fast." Pinkie exclaimed.

"Yeah, even with the dress too," Velma said.

"Well it looks like our work here is done," Shaggy said.

"Not quite."

..

"Uh, dudes," Jestro grabbed everyone's attention. "Where are we?"

"It looks like a workshop," Rainbow said.

"Man there are a lot of tools here," Chris said.

"These can come in handy and I know to use them," Fred exclaimed.

...

With Daphne

"Who left all this mining equipment here?" Daphne asked as she, Rarity, and Applejack turned the corner.

"Wait a honkin' minute this stuff doesn't even look old," Applejack looked at it.

"Your right, " Rarity exclaimed. "There's something going on here that quite meets the eye/"

Then Baron approached them.

"So, you've stumbled upon my secret have you?" He asked them. "A pity you won't be able to tell anyone about it."

...

Fred heard Daphne scream as he and the others were working on something.

"Who screams like that?" Chris asked.

"Daphne," Fred replied. "It sounds like it's coming from... here."

Fred opened the air vent went Daphne continue to scream.

"Think Fred, think, These old air vents connected to every room in the castle, but based on that echo and air density... Daphne must be in some kind of subterranean cave or tunnel. Hang on. Daph, we're coming!"

...

...

"Morining, Shaggy," Scooby yawned.

"Good morning, Scoob," Shaggy groaned. "Oh, that's weird. I don't remember going to bed."

"Us either," Sunset said as she and the others came around noticed that were strapped next to the FrakenCreep. "Uh, V care to explain why all of us are strapped in here?"

"Don't worry, I've deduced that the monster's brain is defective," Velma explained. "I just need to some additional material cerebral material to correct the problem. As for rest of you, the geodes you posses should have enough energy to give it kindness. laughter, compassion and heart.

"Any idea what she's talking about?" Pinkie asked being clueless.

"I do," Twilight spoke up. "The monster needs brains and emotions... wait a minute."

"Where you gonna get that?" Scooby asked.

"Guys, I think we're the answer," Sunset realized. "But what do you need both Shaggy and Scooby brains?"

"Between the both of them they make up an entire brain."

Then brain transplant and energy extractor were charged and ready.

"I must say, you rather take this well, even for Fluttershy."

"Well, Velma, you know I always say there's no point in getting bent out of shape over little---ohh!" The monster ripped the clothes of Shaggy and Scooby. "Zoinks! *Laughs* Like, our new outfits and hey I feel better!"

"Me too!" Scooby agreed.

"I have to agree, with them, if Rarity would saw that she would have fainted," Sunset admitted.

"And now I'm hungry!"

"Oh, boy, like all of sudden I'm pretty staving myself."

"Iago, bring the Brain Extractor," Velma orderd.

"Oh, dear," Fluttershy gulped.

...

"You are trapped, ladies," The Baron corned them.

"I don't think so, you grimy ghost," Applejack said then hurled a giant boulder at him but dodges it.

"I told you would never escape," The Baron laughed evilly.

"Hey, Baron, guess again!" The Baron and the others turned around and saw Rainbow and the guys.

"I'm going to clean your clock," Fred exclaied then swung his broom at him then the Baron grabbed two swords lunged right at him.

Both of them enage in a struggle.

"You will this fight," The Baron told Fred. "Just as you lost your precious Mystery Machine."

The Baron pushed him to the ground and Jestro ran to him.

"Dude, get up!" Jestro exclaimed.

"I'm sorry everyone,"

"Don't for us, Fred," Daphne pulled out the keys. "Do it for her."

Fred got right back with new confidence. The Baron came right at them but Chris slammed right into him. Jestro put the toxic darts on his crossbow and fire, but the Baron blocked every single one of them. Fred threw two Buzzsaws at the him only to cut off the sword part of the blades. Allowing Rainbow to use her super speed and throw many objects at him but The Baron detached his cape.

"This isn't over!"

The Baron ran the other way.

"Wow, I didn't think I could do it without the Mystery Machine, but I guess I could do it for her."

"Oh, Freddy, you're my Mystery Machine. I just so sorry the has given you such a damaged damsel to rescue."

"You mean the--"

"No Fred, Me. I look so awful."

"You're kidding. I didn't even notice. You always look great to me, Daphne."

"Same," Rainbow and Applejack nodded.

"Us too," Jestro and Chris nodded.

"True beauty come from inside," Rarity implied.

"Aww!" Daphne hugged them all then look at the Baron's cape. "Guys, look at the Baron's cape. The fabric is a synethic blend. I'd recognize anywhere. This should be real silk."

"Your right," Rarity look closely at it. "It disgrace to royalty if have mishmashes of fabric and passed as silk."

"That's mean the Baron is not even a Baron," Applejack added.

"Or even a ghost," Chris wondered.

Then the Baron cause a cave in and sealed then off.

..,

"Please. Velma, don't take our brains," Shaggy pleaded. "We need what little we have."

"No ma'am," Iago step in. "it wrong to take brains."

Velma steps on his toe.

"Get ready to make your contribution to the greatest scientific accomplishment ever," Velma said.

...

"Is everything one is okay?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, man we're okay," Rainbow reassured him. "But the bad news we're sealed in tight."

Both Daphne and Fred tried to tunnel their way out.

"Gosh, gosh all this digging is making me dizzy," Daphne starting to feel woozy but Jestro caught her before fallling.

"We got to keep before...." Fred fainted.

"Fred!" Everyone ran to him.

...

"Scooby," Sunset grabbed his attention. "What is one thing you and Shaggy are good at."

"Uh... running away? Hiding?" Scooby asked.

"Yes, but there is one thing you guys are really good at?"

"Eating!" Both of them realized and chew off the straps and did the same to the others.

"Taste like chicken," Shaggy said.

"AAH!" Velma screamed making Shaggy and Scooby flee then free the monster.

"Get them!"

"Pinkie, blind them!" Sunset said.

"Got it! So sorry for this in advance," Pinkie threw a confetti explosion at them blinding them then follow Shaggy and Scooby.

Chapter 7

"Don't worry Freddie, I'm gonna get us all out of here," Daphne said then turned to Applejack. "Can you punch away out of here?"

"Not unless I bring down the entire mine," Applejack said then Daphne tore a hole right through it.

"Daph? Are you okay?" Jestro asked.

"Yeah, that didn't hurt at all, Jeepers, I'm bleeding air, what!?" Daphne asked. "This dirndl has an inflatable suit built into it."

"Meaning you're still the same," Chris thought about it as Daphne gave mouth-to-mouth.

Both Rainbow and Applejack grabbed a bar and tore a hole out of it.

"Perfect timing," Daphne said. "My hideous dress just ran of air. I've gotta get out of this afwful thing and fix my hair."

"Allow me, darling," Rarity volunteered.

...

...

"Libary," Both Twilight and Scooby said.

"Yeah, the library," Shaggy added. "And since old tall, scaly, and horrible doesn't have a brain, he probably doesn't have a library card either."

Both Shaggy and Scooby closed the door behind them.

"But just in case, we better find every single secret entrance and barricade it."

"Good idea," Pinkie agreed then the guys barricaded every possible entrance they could find, and once they were done Shaggy and Scooby sat on the couch.

"Are you your you guys got everything?" Fluttershy asked.

"Of course, we did," Shaggy retorted. "What else did we forget?"

"Locking the door to the Libary?" Sunset asked as if one cue the Franken Creep showed up, "Oh, horseapples!"

Shaggy and Scooby got up and moved the books from the suit of armor and open it.

"In here," Shaggy urged everyone to go in then he closed it from behind it.

As they were running, they didn't know that Fred, Daphne, Rarity, Daphne, Jestro, Chris. and Applejack was running toward them which cause them to bump into each other.

"Fred! Daphne!"

"Shaggy! Scooby!"

"Sunset! Twilight! Pinkie! Fluttershy! Spike!"

"Rainbow! Rarity! Applejack!"

"Chris! Jestro!" Everyone saw each other and hugged.

"Like, are we glad to see you guys," Shaggy said as they departed. "Let's get out here."

"No! I'm tired of running," Fred refused. "I'd say we face our fiendish foes once and for all."

"Agreed!" Rainbow cracks her knuckles.

"Right on!" Both Daphne and Rarity agreed.

"Yeah, let's get these jerks!" Pinkie armed her cannon.

"Wait!" A voice called.

"The Baron!" Jestro exclaimed.

"The Monster!" Spike yelped.

"Neither," The voice walked out to be Velma. "Come with me if want to live."

"Velma, I can't let you get my brain," Shaggy and Scooby backup. "It took me too long to get my hair just right."

"No time!" Iago came out the other way. "Gas is everywhere, into the tunnels and seeping up into the castle. We must flee the gas."

"Naturel gas," Fred exclaimed. "That's why I passed out so fast."

"But wait isn't natural gas..." Rainbow said,

"Explosive," Twilight finished her thought. "We need to get out of here. now!"

"I was working on something," Fred walked to an air vent. "It's a slim chance, but..."

*Whistle*

"Fred. We'll never get a cab down here," Shaggy said.

"Shaggy, Fred can't be hailing a taxi," Rainbow pointed it out. "Use your brain."

"I am! I am! Totally still using it!"

"I'm sorry I tried to take your brand and harness your energy, guys," Velma apologized. " I think I was hypnotized by a device disguised to look like an antique strichbaden electro-wheel."

"Uh, that's okay," Scooby said.

"Yeah, Velma, like that could that happen to anybody," Shaggy said then two of them hugged Velma.

Then they heard a horse neighing.

"Well, what do you know it worked," Fred exclaimed.

"What worked?" Spike asked.

"Gang, allow me to present the all-new Mystery Machine."

Moments later, everyone got on and rode on out of the castle.

"And the amazing thing is," Fred explained. "This gets better mileage than the old one."

"Maybe you should mention it, my good sir," Rarity told him.

"Don't worry Rarity, The Mystery Machine is still alive- in here," Fred pointed at his heart.

The gas broke out and already reached the lab.

"Hurry Fred," Velma urged him "if something we're to ignite this gas, this whole place will blow up."

"Yeah, but like what could ignite it?" Shaggy asked.

"Everyone knows that spark of fire can ignite it," Twilight told him. "Oh, no!"

*BOOM* The lit candle cause the gas to ignite it and the castle went boom. The villagers gasped that the Castle is gone.

"That poor Von Dinkensetin girl and her friends went kaput," A villager sawing Velma glasses.

"The Von Dinkensetin curse is no more." another one said then everyone partied.

"Our plan, it worked!" Burgermeister said as he talk to the shop keeper, Inspector Cruch and Mrs.Vanders. "Let's dance!"

Everyone joined him and soon everyone in the town was dancing. Hours have passed, the clock struck midnight and every went in for the night. Ins. Cruch was heading out and walking then he heard strange sound.

"Who's there!?" He said then turned and shadow of the Mystery Machine. "The curse! It can't really be true! *Screams* Somebody help me!"

The Inspector ran for his life.

...

On the outskirts of town, the gyspy was loading her trailer, then her a moan, she turned around a saw a ghostly image of dress she gave Daphne. The dress chased her into town. As for Burgermeister, he sat down and was about eat some food leftover until he saw Velma's head and chased after him. With Mrs. Vanders, she heard moaning as she was about to leave, she turns around and saw the dress that Shaggy and Scooby wore talking about food. Then all of them head to the train station as the supernatural was closing on them.

"All aboard," The conductor said as train whiltle sound.

Burgermeister, Cruch, Vanders, and the gyspy got on the train and conductor close the door behind them and off his hat revavling to be Fred in disguise.

"Got'em!" Fred exclaimed.

"We're not moving!" Burgermeister said as the train left then knocked on the door, "Wait!"

"Open this door right now!" The owner said then Mrs. Vanders saw the gang.

"You! It was you all along! They tricked us."

"But, how?"

"Easy," Pinkie started to explain. "Fred made the shadow of the Mystery Machine with his hands, and Shaggy and Scooby use strings to make the clothes walk. Daphne used the suit inflated mode and used it as a kite. And Velma used her spectates and flashlight."

"Looks like our work here is done," Daphne said.

"Zoinks! Like, don't speak too soon, Daph," Shaggy exclaimed as the Franken Creep appeared then stopped the hatch open and revealed it to be Iago.

"Iago, you were the monster?" Jestro asked.

"No. and it's not Iago," then littler man popped out. "It's Federal Agent Schmidalp from the U.S Department of Defense."

Then several DOD agents showed up.

"Three weeks ago, one of our experimental exoskeletons designed to increase the infantrymen of the future was stolen from one of our research labs," Schmidalp explained. "I traced to this town and went uncover in hopes ferreting it out. Go ahead, guys."

"Wait. You were the monster in the lab?" Spike asked.

"Not me. It was Burgermeister." As the agents cuff the four criminals.

"But that's impossible. he was with Scooby and me where we chased the Franken Creep."

"Yes, but someone else was dressed like the Franken Creep at the time," Twilight explained as she readjusted her glasses. "This one mystery that doesn't have a culprit, it had a conspiracy."

"Right, and that's why they hypnotized you, Velma."

"Who would hypnotized you and why?" Fred asked.

"And how did Scooby and Shaggy become brave?" Pinkie asked.

"Spill the beans, V," Chris said.

"First of all, I didn't solve this mystery. Fred had it figured out right away," Velma said.

"I did? I mean, I did... could someone explain how I did?"

"Sure," Sunset volunteered. "You said it when the Mystery Machine went kaboom. 'This time it's personal and it was. A personal attack on us."

Sunset removed the Inspector Cunch get and revealed it to be Cuthbert Crawley.

"Cuthbert Cralwely?!" Everyone said in unison.

"Why would your family's lawyer want to destroy us?" Spike asked Velma.

"He's not my family's lawyer, I've never seen him before," Velma told him.

"The who he is?"

"He's really Cuthbert Crawls, partner of Cogood Creeps, the creepy attorneys that haunted Beaugaurd Sanders Mansion as the Green Ghosts," Sunset show a video of them on her phone. "What kind of ghost would travel hundreds of miles to haunt a lawyer's office. He wasn't there to scare us he was there to draw us in. Everyone knows we can't resist a mystery."

"The so-called Baron's curse was supposed to take away the things we cared about the most," Twilight added. "The first victim was the Mystery Machine. The next victim was Daphne, who started to puff up due to her shellfish allergy. She had no idea of knowing that was she also slipping into its built-in inflatable suit."

"And next up were Shaggy and Scooby, whose suits were also rigged, but with acupuncture needles concealed carefully inside. The pressure points not suppressed hunger, they also created a false sense of courage, giving the confidence to chase after the monster. As for Velma, she was hypnotized by Mrs. Vanders into believing you could recreate my uncle's experiment."

"Which I did," Velma admitted. "At least enough to create a diversion, a diversion for one of the conspirators, dressed as the Franken Creep to swap place with the lifeless dummy."

"They sure went to a lot of trouble to scare us off," Fred said. "But what was the treasure they were scaring us from?"

"There was no treasure," Rainbow told him. "They didn't want money, they want revenge on you, Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, Velma."

"Huh!?" Both Scooby and Shaggy asked.

"But why?" Daphne asked her. "Who would do such a thing? We don't even know these people?"

"Don't be sure," Rainbow said remove the get up on Burgermeister.

"C.L Maganus?!"

"Yeah, the shipping magnate who masqueraded as Redbeard's Ghost. Rainbow explained

"And for the gypsy," Rairty said before taking the bandana off her

"Lila?!"

"Yes, aspiring pop singer Lila," Rarity said. "Who was of Mamba Wamba's Zombies."

"That means this is no housekeeper," Applejack walked to Mrs. Vanders and removed the wig.

"Mama Mione?!"

"Mama Mione?" Shaggy asked. "You were a criminal gang leader pretending to be Old Ironface."

"Jeepers, of course," Daphne exclaimed look at the photo of it from Jestro's phone. "I should have recognized that mask."

"I guess even criminals recycle," Pinkie joked making Shaggy and Scooby laughed.

"Who would have thought there'd be a conspiracy of people determined to destroy the Scooby gang," Spike thought.

"Are you kidding? Everyone you've ever busted wants revenge!" Mione exclaimed. "We turning people away in droves."

"We fiended each other on the Scooby Gang revenges social networking page," Lila said. "You would't belive how many 'yikes' it gets on daily basis."

"It took us months, but once we found Dinkley's family," Magans explained. "We pooled our resources and bought the castle."

"Then we slowly insinuated ourselves into the town with our chosen identities," Crawly added.

"Imagine our joy when we found out the natual gas pockets under the estate. The castle became one massive death trap."

"And we would gotten our revenge on you meddling kids."

"if it weren't for you meddling kids."

"But there is one thing I don't get," Fluttershy asked. "Once you discovered the gas, why didn't you just sell he land?"

"Huh?" Lila asked.

"I mean, if you sold the rights to the natural gas under the castle, you guys would be rich beyond your imagination."

"How much were talking?" Mione asked.

"Roughly, 7.5 billion dollars," Twilight did the numbers making the villains grumble.

"You slimly toads were greedy for revenge you forget to be greedy for money." Applejack smirked then everybody laughed.

Then morning came and everyone jumped for joy.

"Wow, Velma, you really won the villagers over," Twilight said. "I guess they really appreciate you proving once and for all that there's such as the Von Dinkenstein Curse."

"Maybe. or could have something to do with my giving them land rights to the natural gas," Velma told her.

"You what?" Scooby asked as he turn around.

"It was the least I could do after what my ancestors put them through."

"Well, gang," Fred came by. "The wagon's all set to go. It should take us about 27 hours to get to the next town."

"Not so fast, Fred," Schmidalp stop them. "The Department of defense really appreciates all of help in recoving the prototype , and well, we have a little surprise for you."

Schmidalp pulled back the curtain and showed the surprised.

"The Mystery Machine!" All of them said in unsion.

"Baby!" Fred rush to his van. "I thought I'd never see you again. Come to papa."

"Oh, for love of..." Daphne groan.

"You said it," Rainbow agreed with her as Fred hugged the small agent.

"Fred, uh, why don't you take for a spin?" He requested. "You may find a few hidden on her. Coursety of DO..."

Fred took the keys and got in.

"Come on gang," Fred urged. "Let's get this show on the road."

Moments later then on road travel to their location.

"There's just one last thing I don't understand, Velma," Chris asked her. "How did you know the curse was a fake?"

"That's easy, the Baron's Curse said that the victims would lose what they loved then be utterly destroyed," Velma explained.

Everyone looked at her being confused.

"Guys, don't you see? Of all things we lost- beauty, confidence, joy of eating, logic, adventure, partying... None of it was what we loved the most. Because we love each other the most!"

"That's so nice," Fluttershy said.

"Acupuncture or not," Shaggy said while he, Scooby, Spike, and Pinkie were eating. "I can't belive we passed up on the awesome blutenwustern."

"I know, it delicious!" Scooby exclaimed.

"You said it!" Pinkie and Spike aggred

"You know, guys, one thing this little adventure did teach me was that we can be just as brave as anyone."

"Yeah!"

"And from now on. You, me, Spike, and Pinkie, will be the Fearless Furry Foursome."

"Deal!" Pinkie exclaimed then all four them put their hands and paws in.

"That's odd, i never seen that button before," Fred saw unusual button.

"It must be one of the surprises that Mr. Schimalp mentioned," Rartiy said.

"Let see what it does," Fred was about to pushed but stopped by Applejack.

"I don't know abiut that," Applejack said in concern.

"To heck with it," Rainbow exclaimed. "Go for it."

Fred pushed the button and suddenly rockets was around the van and took off. Everyone enjoyed the highflyer ride.

"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

The End

Chapter 4

"Follow closely," Mrs.Vanders said as she led the gang to their rooms. "The darkness can be treacherous."

Everyone kept walking and heard the squeaks of the floor.

"These old floorboards are squeaky," Rarity implied.

"Uhh, Shaggy your about walk into-" Applejack tried to warn him but he walked in cobwebs.

"Oh! Dude, it seems like this place is held up with cobwebs." Shaggy said trying to remove them.

"I hope that is not a comment on my housekeeping skills."

"No, of course not. RIght guys?"

"Yeah!" Pinkie and the others agreed.

They kept on walking.

"Where's Inspector Cruch's duster when you need it?" Velma joked making Rarity, Daphne, Twilight, and Sunset laughed a bit.

"You, Von Dinkenstein Girl, did you say something you would like to share with the group?"

"Nope, nothing at all. And again it's Dinkley, not Von Dinkenstein."

"With all these lights your gas bill must enormous." Daphne chimed.

"Nien, the castle was built on a natural gas resource. We have all the gas we need."

"You guys have well of natual gas under the whole castle," Twilight wondered. "Amazing."

"This can be your room Von Dinkenstein Girl and Glasses Girl." Mrs.Vanders showed Twilight and Velma.

Velma open the door and showed the abyss and quickly closed the door.

"It's Dinkley, and don't think this will work."

"Whoops. That one is certain death. These doors look alike. Perhaps you wish for another room? The ones across the hall are available."

Mrs.Vanders open the door only to have bats flying out.

"But we do have bats that tend to screech around the clock."

"I'm sure that would be irritating if it wasn't being drowned out by Scooby and Shaggy's chattering teeth." Rarity said.

Both of them closed each other's mouths.

"Otherwise I'm sure you'll be comfortable. Now let me show you to the crown jewel of the castle... the laboratory."

"One thing for sure," Sunset said to Velma. "Your great-great-uncle didn't do anything halfway."

"No kidding," Applejack agreed.

"Let's get a closer look at this place," Velma said as the others walked in and look around.

"Look at these notebooks," Twilight and Velma opened a couple of books and blow some of the dust.

"Actually, we'll take a closer look--" Shaggy said then he, Scooby, Pinkie, and Spike saw the freezer. "Inside the freezer for snacks."

They open the door and grabbed the food and sat at an odd-looking table.

"This is more like it," Pinkie exclaimed.

"Halt!" Mrs.Vanders stopped them. "Before you go any further, I must inform you of two facts. One, these parts are not food. They are the parts the Baron rejected for his creature."

"Zoinks! And what's the other fact?" Shaggy asked.

"That at which you sit is not a table."

Iago pulled the tarp and show the baron's monster in a block of ice.

"AHH!" Spike and the others jumped. "A real-life Frankenstein!"

"Just to clarify, Spike, Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster," Twilight reminded him.

"It scarier than Frankstein," Daphne said.

"It's regular Frankecreep," Applejack added.

Then the organ started to play.

"That's catchy," Jestro liked it.

"Sometimes I don't why I talk at all," Twilight groaned.

"It looks like a hodge-podge of various monsters," Chris said looking at it.

"Part scaly, part furry, and all ugly," Rainbow added.

"At least what we can see through this hazy block of ice is," Fred said looking at it.

"Now you can see why I keep the castle temperature somewhat low." Mrs.Vanders said.

"It can't be real. It can't," Velma refused to believe it.

"It couldn't be true, could it?"

"If the monster is real then my entire worldview is called into question. This monster must be a fake, and I'll prove it."

"I'll recreate the experiment using the Baron's notes. When the ice is melted and the experiment fails. the hoax will be revealed. My core hypothesis that monsters are fake will be vindicated."

"To be clear, I had no idea of your goal," Rainbow stated.

"But Velma," Sunset tried to reason with her. "You yourself told us how many of your ancestors we're driven crazy by this monster obsession."

"I am not obsessed. I am the opposite of obsessed. I'll be proving monsters don't exist. The opposite of what my ancestors we're attempting."

"Do I need to define the opposite for you?"

"If you think it's safe then go right ahead."

"I know what I'm doing. Everyone out so I can get to work!"

Fred, Daph, Shaggy, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Jestro, Chris, Pinkie, Rainbow, the dogs, Twilight and Sunset left.

"Expect you, Iago, I'll need an assistant. Someone who can help me with all this science equipment. Wow, A strichenbaden electric wheel."

"I've kept these machines clean and in good condition for decades."

Mrs.Vanders turned it on. "Notice how the gyroscope spins, spinning slowly. Look closely."

Velma looked at the gyroscope and was in a tranced.

Meanwhile

"Listen to that growling," Fred as he and the others heard some noises. "It sounds sinister."

"It is," Shaggy confessed while holding his stomach. "It's mine and Scooby's stomachs. "We have eaten in like 20 minutes. And like the constant state of sheer terror makes you hungry. Like really hungry."

"Even I could go for a bite," Daphne chimed.

"I anticipate your every need," Mrs.Vanders said as she rolled in a cart. "Please tried a tradintoal dish of our homeland."

Mrs.Vanders showed them a plate of gelatin.

"Did i ever mention that I'm allergic to shellfish?"

"I see to it all-natural, organic..."

Daphne put some in her mouth.

"Jellied pigs' feet."

"It's a little chewy," Daphne said. "But thank you anyway."

"You might find more fair to your liking at the festival that's going in the village."

"There a festival at night?" Pinkie asked.

"Eh."

"Yeah, we might dig the fare at the fair," Shaggy liked the idea.

"We can...dang," Fred remembers that Mystery Machine was blown to bits.

"We could walk," Fluttershy suggested. "It's good for the environment. We leave a smaller carbon footprint."

"Not with Scooby and Spike's paws we won't," Rainbow said.

And then everyone headed to the village.
