In Peach Creek Junior High, the school bell has rung, signaling the end of class. Shortly after the bell rang, all the students left the classrooms and were now heading towards their lockers to get their books for the next class.

“Man, this blows.” Eddy said annoyed as he, along with the rest of the Ed's, the dazzling ,sunset, and Eclipse, walked through the school hall. ”I can’t believe the teacher gave us a surprise test today.”

"Um, Eddy, the test wasn't a surprise test.” Sunset said. ”The teacher literally informed us last week that there would be a test. You would probably know that if you actually paid attention in class instead of reading magazines or planning scams.”

“I quite agree with sunset.” Double d said. ”You really should pay more attention in class, Eddy. If you keep this up, your grade will slip up.”

“Hey, it’s isn’t my fault that the things the teachers are teaching are boring.” Eddy said as he stopped in front of his locker. He turned to his locker and put in the combination for his locker. Once he was done, he opened the locker and was greeted by a flood of green paint that came out of his locker and covered him.

“What the?" Eddy said before he heard laughter. Everyone turned and saw Gilda, who was leaning against her locker, laughing at him. Standing next to her was cheese sandwich.

“ Gilda.” Eddy said angrily.

“I got you again, eddy.” Gilda said happily before turning to her locker. She opened it and got hit in the face by a boxing glove attached to a spring. The punch was strong enough to cause her to fall on her back.

“Ha eat it, Gilda.” Eddy said with a laugh.

“Why you"Gilda said angrily as she got up. She then turned to cheese sandwich. ”Cheese sandwich pie me.”

"I got it.” Cheese sandwich said before he went to his locker and opened it. He then brought out a pie and gave it to Gilda, who then threw it at Eddy.

“ Ah.” Eddy said as he quickly duck. The pie flew over him, where it then hit the janitor in the face.

“Oops, sorry, sir.” Gilda said. The janitor just glared at them before he broke the mop he was holding in half.

“So you two like pranks, huh?" The janitor said angrily, causing both Eddy and Gilda angrily.

“Um yes.” Eddy said as he and Gilda smiled nervously as the janitor glared at them.

“Well, let me give you a little warning.” The janitor said before he paused for suspense. ”Beware of the phantom of the school stage.”

“ The phantom of the school stage.” Adagio asked with a confused expression, which was mirrored by everyone.

“Yes, the phantom of the school stage.” The janitor said.

“What the heck is that?” Aria asked.

“The phantom of the school stage is a hideous creature that prowls the school.” The janitor said. ”Legends said that the phantom prowls this very school looking for pranksters, and if he finds them, he will hunt them down and make them pay.”

“That sounds a load of baloney.” Eddy said.

“Oh, I assure you that the phantom is anything but a fake.” The janitor said. ”He is real, and he haunts this very school looking for any unlucky prankster who dares perform pranks on this school.“

“And what he does to the unlucky prankster he finds,” Cheese Sandwich asked.

“ No one know but it is said what he does to them is horrible . As the legends said the phantom hates prankster so much that when he is isn’t looking for prankster he would sit and play his organ and think of many different ways to make the prankster he caught suffer.” The janitor said as organ music was suddenly heard.” Some said if you hear organ music it means his close and you should leave before he gets you.”

“ You mean like the organ you playing with right now.” Eddy said as he pointed to a organ that suddenly appear next to the janitor revealing that the organ music was coming from the organ the janitor was playing. The janitor then stop playing.

“Anyhow, I need to go now.” The janitor said as he began leaving while also pushing the organ with him. However he suddenly stopped and turned to face them. ” Heed my warning, child, for it is for your own good. Beware of the phantom of the school stage.” After he said that, he began leaving again, and after he left silent reign among the group before it was broken by sunset.

“ Well it seems we just find our grim adventure for the day.” Sunset said.” Knowing our luck eddy or someone here will do a prank and get the phantom attention and it will be up to us to stop him. “ sunset then turned to eddy.” All right eddy get on with the prank so we can began today adventure.”

"You got it.” Eddy said before he reached into Ed's jacket and pulled out a rotten tomato, which he threw at Gilda. The tomato hit Gilda on the face, much to her annoyance.

“ Their now all we have to do is wait.” Sunset said.
….
At the school gym sunset and co were running laps with they classmates and as they run sunset was looking around the gym as if she was expecting to see something. After running another round coach iron will blow his whistle catching everyone attention.

“ All right everyone five minutes break .” Iron will said causing everyone to stop.

“Ah, finally.” Double d said as he began to take heavy breath. ”I thought I was going to die from exhaustion.”

“Seriously, double d how out of shape are you.” Aria said.

“Well, excuse me for not being an athlete.” Double D said before noticing that sunset was on guard.

“Um excuse me sunset.” Double d said gaining sunset attention.” But what are you doing.”

“Oh, just waiting for the phantom to strike." Sunset said. ”He should have struck by now.” As if one cue a giant shadow suddenly covered eddy. Eddy looked up and saw a piano falling towards him. Luckily, before it could land on him, sunset grabbed Eddy and pulled him out of the way, and immediately after she did that, the piano landed on where he was standing.

“Thanks, sunset.” Eddy said as he and everyone looked at the piano.

“Yep, this is no doubt the work of the phantom.” Sunset said before she noticed another shadow was covering Eddy. Sunset gently pulled Eddy out of the way, and shortly after she did that, a cow landed on the spot Eddy was standing on.

“Cow,” Ed said happily. Suddenly another shadow was over eddy again, and seeing this eddy quickly jump out of the way, shortly after he did that, a large chandelier landed on the spot he was on. However, before Eddy could breathe a sight of relief, a safe suddenly landed on him.

“Oh, that’s got to hurt.” Adagio said.

“Well, at least Eddy is safe.” Sonata said, and a rimshot was then heard, causing everyone to turn to see iron will with a drum sets.

"Hey, someone has to do it.” Iron will say. Ed then went to the safe and put in a combination before opening it, revealing Eddy was inside.

“ Hey eddy.” Ed said happily as eddy crawl out of the safe.

“ Man that hurt.” Eddy said.

“ And something tells me this is just the beginning.”Sunset said.
….
After gym class was lunch break, and everyone was now heading to the cafeteria. As they were heading to the cafeteria, Eddy suddenly separated from them.

“ Where are you going.” Eclipse asked eddy.

"Bathroom," Eddy said as he walked off towards the restroom.

"Well, Eddy is going to the bathroom alone.” Sunset said. "Knowing how this goes, the phantom would no doubt try to attack Eddy while he is alone, which will lead to a series of wacky hijinks. So while we wait for that to happen, let’s go enjoy our lunch.”
….
After Eddy left the restroom, he was now on his way to the cafeteria when suddenly a paper plane flew in front of him and hit him on the forehead.

“ Hey.” Eddy said as he opened the paper plane to see that it was a letter.

"Dear eddy, this is Nazz. Please meet me at the school roof, as I have a surprise for you.” Eddy said as he read the letter. After reading the letter, he had a happy look on his face.

"A surprise for me.” Eddy said happily before he began running towards the school roof.
….
The door to the school roof opened, and shortly after it opened, Eddy came running out of the door. He then looked around, expecting to see Nazz, but much to his disappointment, he didn’t see her.

"Nazz,” Eddy said.

“ Eddy.” A voice said and immediately eddy turned to see Gilda walking through the door.

“What are you doing here?" Eddy demanded.

"That's what I should be asking you.” Gilda said.

"Well, if you must know, I received a letter from Nazz that said to meet her here." Eddy said. "What about you?”

"Well, I am here because I received a letter from lightning dust to meet her here.” Gilda said.

"Well, in that case, where is lightning dust?" Eddy said as he looked around. "And for that matter, where is Nazz?”

"There aren’t here, for they didn’t send the letter.” A voice said, and immediately both teens turned to the source and saw a figure standing on top of the roof of the entrance. The figure wore a dark black cloak with matching gloves, and on the figure's face was a metal mask.

"Who are you?" Gilda demanded.

"I am the phantom of the school stage.” The figure now known as the phantom said.

"Wait, you are real.” Gilda said in shock.

"Huh, you know I should be surprised to see that you are real, but after everything I have seen, I am not exactly surprised.” Eddy said.

"Oh, I am real all right, and I will give you a real punishment for your pranking ways.” The phantom said as he brought out a wooden bat.

"I guess this is the part where we run for our lives.” Eddy said before he and Gilda ran through the door, and as they did that, the phantom jumped off the entrance and chased after them.

(Play Happy Haunted Sunshine House.)

Both Ed and Gilda run down the stairs and onto the second floor. Chasing behind them was the phantom who held his bat high in the air. The phantom ran past a pair of trash cans, and shortly after running past the trash cans, both Eddy and Gilda poked their heads out of the trash can. However, just as they believed that they had lost the phantom, they suddenly saw that the phantom was standing next to them. They quickly jumped out of the trash can and began running again.

Come on, baby, let's take my car.
To the place where dreams come true
It's a mile off the interstate
And if you want to dance, well, that's there, too.

The phantom continued to run in the hallway, where he suddenly ran past a photo frame that was hung on the wall. He pauses before walking backwards, where he then stops in front of the photo frame. The picture on the frame was of Eddy and Gilda, both of whom had mustaches and were wearing cowboy hats. The phantom took a closer look at the photo before he suddenly received a pie in the face from Eddy. The two teens then jump out of the photo. After taking the pie pan off his face, he then proceeded to chase after the two teens once again.

At the Happy Haunted Sunshine House,
We can groove
Oh, yeah

The two continue to run with the phantom chasing behind them. However, as they run, they suddenly run into a hall monitor who makes them stop, which in turn causes the music to stop.

"No running in the hallway.” The hall monitor said.

“Sorry.” All three said at the same time before they slowly walked away.

"Is he gone?" Eddy asked thephantom. The phantom then turned behind and saw that the hall monitor was gone.

"Yes, he's gone," the phantom said as he turned to Eddy and Gilda.

“ Good.” Gilda said before she and Eddy screamed before running for their lives again, and immediately afterward, the phantom chased after them with his bat raise, and the music started up again.

Well, there's cobwebs.
Everyone's dead
But once the sun shines in
We'll paint the place red.

The three then run into the library, where the librarian immediately shush them. The three stopped running and began tiptoeing. They tiptoe around the library until they eventually reach the exit again, and after going through the exit, they began running again.

Don't be, don't be scared, girl.
When we monster mash,
It's out of this world.

Suddenly all three were suddenly in a white background dancing to the music. The scene then changes to show the phantom running in the hallway again. He then stopped once he spotted both Ed and Gilda, who were wearing fake mustaches. They pointed in a random direction, and the phantom ran in the direction they pointed. As soon as the phantom left, the two took off their mustache and let out a small laugh. However, their joy is shortlived, as they suddenly noticed that the phantom was now standing next to them. The two then run off again, and shortly afterwards the phantom chases after them.

Both Eddy and Gilda are running for their lives again, with the phantom chasing behind them.

Come on, baby, kick off your shoes.
Wave your hands side to side.
Come on, baby
We'll dunk our heads in the apple bin.
Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be mummified.

The two then run into a hallway where there were three doors on both walls. Both Gilda and Eddy went through the first door on the left wall, with the phantom following behind them, only to suddenly exit the second door on the opposite wall, where they then ran to the door in front of them. The third door on the right suddenly opens, and the three then run out of the door, where they then run into the first door at the left wall. Then the second door of the left wall opened again, and out came the phantom, who was being chased by Eddy and Gilda. The three run to the door in front of them, and shortly afterward the first door on the left and the third door on the right open, and out came from the left, was eddy, and out came from the right, Gilda. The two ran past each other and went through the door they exited. The second door on the left open and out came was the phantom riding on a high-wheel bicycle. He went through the door in front of him, and after he did that, the third door on the right suddenly opened, and out came Gilda and Eddy on a motorboat. They went to the first door on the left wall, and suddenly the second door on the left wall opened and out came Gilda and Eddy, who were on a pogo stick, and following behind them was the phantom, who was also on a pogo stick, chasing after them. They went through the door in front of them. The third door on the right opened and out came Gilda and the phantom, who was being chased by Eddy, who was swinging the phantom bat. They run to the first door on the left, and shortly afterward the second door on the left wall opens, and out came Gilda, who was running away from the phantom. Sitting on the phantom neck was Eddy, who was pointing at Gilda. The two run and enter through the third door on the right. The second door on the left and right then opened again, and out came Eddy and the phantom, who were walking backward. The two then accidentally bump into one another. This shocked both of them, causing them to run back to the door they came from. The first door on the right suddenly opened, and out came Eddy, who stopped to look around the hallway. He then saw the third door on the left open, and out came the Kanker sisters. This caused Eddy to scream as he ran back to the door he came from. The Kanker sisters were about to go after Eddy, but before they could, the first door on the left opened, and out came the phantom, who held his bat high in the air. Seeing that all three kankers run back to the door they exited from. The phantom then went into the door in front of him, and shortly afterwards the second door on the right opened up, and out came Gilda and the phantom riding a tandem bike. The two paddle towards the first door on the left. The first door on the right then opened and out came Eddy, Gilda, and the phantom, who was being chased by Johnny, who was swinging the phantom bat. The four run into the door in front of them. The second door that was on both the left and right walls opened, and out came both Eddy and Gilda, who stopped once they saw one another. The two then saw the three doors on the right suddenly open, and out came the entire Scooby Doo gang. The two groups stared at one another for a few moments before suddenly the door on the left opened, and everyone turned to see the phantom walking out. When the phantom spotted them, he raised his bat, causing the group of teens and their dog to run back into the door they came out of and Ed and Gilda to run for their lives once more, and as they started running, the phantom chased after them again.

At the Happy Haunted Sunshine House

The two then run into the school auditorium, and shortly following behind them was the phantom who entered the auditorium.

(End song)

“Now where are you?” The phantom said as he got on stage, where suddenly a stage light shined on him. ” Huh.”

"Here he is, folks, our next contestant on Peach Creek got talent. The talent show where the next star of Peach Creek is waiting to be discovered." Gilda said as she walked on stage holding a microphone. ”Let's give it up for the phantom of the school stage." Loud cheers were then heard. The phantom looked in front and saw Eddy sitting on a table in front of him. Next to Eddy was a radio from which the cheers were coming from.

"But I don't have any talent." The phantom said.

"Everyone has talent." Gilda said. "Tell me, can you sing and dance?"

"Well, I can sing, but dancing not so much." The phantom said.

"Well, in that case, let me help you with that." Gilda said as she suddenly grabbed a bucket full of crabs, and before the phantom knew it, Gilda pulled the front of the robe and poured all the crabs into it. After she was done, she threw the bucket away. "Now start singing and dancing." Gilda then ran away just as music was suddenly played.

"I am being pinched by a bunch of crabs." The phantom sang as the crabs pinched him, causing him pain. He then suddenly jumped in pain. "Don't go down there." He then jumped again. "They went down there."

"Oh no, these crabs are getting everywhere." The phantom sang before he suddenly jumped into the air and bounced on the floor a few times, causing the crabs inside of his robe to come out. He stopped bouncing as soon as the last crab got out. He then got back in the middle of the stage and turned to face Eddy.

"Well, how did I do?" The phantom said only to realize that both Eddy and Gilda were gone.

"Wait a minute." The phantom said as realization dawned on him. "I've been fooled." He then got on his knees and let out a huge scream of anger
....
The bell rang again, signaling the end of the students lunch break. The students were exiting the cafeteria, and just as sunset and co were exiting the cafeteria door, Eddy and Gilda suddenly ran up in front of them. The group can instantly tell that both groups were exhausted.

"Hey guys, you won't believe what just happened." Gilda said between breaths.

“Let me guess you two encounter the phantom of the school stage, which leads to a chase full of wacky hijinks straight from a cartoon, and eventually you guys lose the phantom.” Sunset said.

"How did you know?” Eddy asked.

"Lucky guessed. Anyhow, it looks like we have another grim adventure to do.” Sunset said. "All right, everyone, let’s head to class first, and once it’s time for free period, we will head to the library and come up with a plan to deal with the phantom.” After she said that sunset then began walking towards class, and shortly afterward, everyone else followed her.
….
When it was time for free periods, sunset, eclipse, the Ed's, the dazzling,Gilda and cheese sandwich went to the library, where they took a seat at one of the empty tables.

"Hey, what’s cheese sandwich doing here?" Eddy asked.

"I invited him here.” Gilda said. "If we are going to stop this phantom, we need all the help we can get.”

"Fair enough.” Sunset said. "Anyhow, we should start discussing our plan to figure out how to stop the phantom. First thing first, we need to figure out who the phantom is.”

"I can tell you who the phantom is.” A voice said, and immediately everyone turned to see that the person who said that was grim, who was now heading towards the table before eventually stopping once he was next to the table.

"Grim, what are you doing here?” Eclipse asked.

"Sonata texted me and informed me of the current situation.” Grim said. "Anyhow, I know who the phantom is. The phantom can only be Red Herring.”

"Hey, I didn’t do anything,” a voice said, and immediately everyone turned to see sitting on a table across from them was a short, chubby male teen that was around eddy age. The teen has curly, bushy red hair with lots of freckles covering his face. For clothing, he wore a dark green sleeveless jacket with a white tank top underneath, as well as beige pants and brown boots.

"Don't deny it; I know it was you, red herring.” Grim said as he pointed towards the teen, now known as red herring.

"Seriously grim, you seem to have developed the habit of blaming Red Herring for everything that’s gone wrong ever since you caught him stealing your mail.” Sunset said.

"I do not.” Grim said.

“Really.” Adagio said. "Roll flashback.”

Flashback number one:
Sunset, Grim, the Dazzling, and the Ed’s were being forced to walk off the plank of a pirate ship that was floating over the sea. Forcing them to walk off the plank was a crew of vampire pirates. Grim looked down at the water to see that floating beneath them was a group of great white sharks.

"Curse you, red herring." Grim said. ”Because of you, we are in this mess.”

Flashback number two:
Out in space Sunset, the Ed's, the dazzling, grim, and sunny, was in a spaceship running from their lives as they were being chased by a large army of zombie Martians. Leading the chase was Morg, the Martian grim reaper.

"Curse you, red herring.” Grim said, "I know you are behind this somehow.”

Flashback number three:

In the town of Peach Creek sunset, the Ed's, the dazzling and sunny, were being chased by a large robot that was firing laser beams from its eyes at them.

"Red herring I will get you for this.” Grim yell.

Flashback number four:

In sunset house, Grim just poured himself a bowl of cereal and was now pouring some milk. However, unfortunately for him, there was no longer any milk left in the milk carton.

"Curse you, red herring.” Grim yells in fury.

End flashback:

"And that last one happened this morning.” Sunset said before turning to face everyone. "Anyhow, if we are going to solve this mystery, we need to cover more ground, hence why I believe we should split up and look for clues.”

"Hold on a second; there is no way I am going back out there, especially with the phantom still lurking around,” Eddy said.

"Not even for a quarter.” Sunset said as she pulled out quarter, which didn’t convince Eddy. She then pulled out another quarter. "How about two quarters?" That was enough to change Eddy mind, as he immediately grabbed the two quarters.

"Alright, we shall split into two teams.” Double d said. "I will go with grim, sunset with eclipse, Aria with adagio, sonata with Ed, Gilda with Eddy, and...” Double d trails off once he realizes that no one is left to pair up with cheese sandwich.

"I will go with boneless.” Cheese sandwich said as he brought out his rubber chicken.

"Right," Double D said. "Anyhow, everyone, let’s go and solve this mystery.”
….
Ed and Sonata, after exiting the library, were now walking through the hallway.

"Where do you think we should go, Sonata?" Ed asked.

“ Hmm.” Sonata said with a thoughtful look before an idea came to her. "Let's try the cafeteria.”

“ Ok.” Ed said happily before he and Sonata began making their way to the cafeteria. The two enter the cafeteria, where they then proceed to go into the kitchen.

"Hm, nothing here.” Sonata said as she opened the fridge.

"Nothing here.” Ed said as he opened an oven.

"Try checking the school freezer.” A voice said.

“ Thanks.” Sonata said before she and Ed headed towards the freezer, but suddenly the two stopped and turned to the voice to see and saw the school lunch lady, who had a look of fury on her face.

"So you two decided to try and get extra helpings, huh?" The lunch lady said in fury as she raised her spatula into the air. "Well, unfortunately, the only thing you will get is a beating.”

"Run Ed.” Sonata yells as she and Ed run out of the kitchen with the lunch lady running after them.

"Get back here.” The lunch lady yelled.
….
"Hey, why are we doing here?" Gilda said as she and Eddy were in the janitor room, boarding up the door with planks. "Shouldn't we be out looking for clues?”

"And what get attacked by the phantom again?" Eddy said as he hammered in a plank into the door. "No way I am going through that again. We just hide here and let everyone else deal with the phantom.”

"Great idea, but there's still one flaw with that plan.” A voice said.

"And what would that be?" Eddy asked.

"That would be because I am in the room with you.” The voice said, and immediately Eddy and Gilda turned to see the phantom standing behind them.

"Prepared for judgement.” The phantom said as he pulled out his wooden bat.

"We running again,” Eddy asked.

"We running again.” Gilda said before she and Eddy began tearing the planks off the door, and once they were done, they ran out of the room. As soon as they run out of the room, the phantom runs after them.

(Play Benny Hill music.)

Both Eddy and Gilda, who were being chased by the phantom, were in the hallway running for their lives. As they ran, they didn’t notice that running towards them were Sonata and Ed, who were being chased by the lunch lady. The two groups crashed into one another and landed in a pile on the floor. Eddy, Gilda, Sonata, and Ed quickly get up and proceed to run for their lives. Shortly after they ran, the phantom quickly got up and grabbed the lunch lady spatula and chased after them, and it wasn’t long before the lunch lady did the same and picked up the wooden bat, which she proceeded to swing in the air as she joined the phantom in chasing the four teens.

The four teens continue to run in the hallway, and as they run, they turn to look behind to see the phantom and the lunch lady were chasing them. Their then turned back to look in front of them, and immediately they saw the hall monitor from before standing right in front of them. The hall monitor blew on his whistle and held his palm out, motioning for them to stop. However, unlike before, the four didn’t stop but instead ran over the hall monitor, and before the hall monitor could get up, the lunch lady and the phantom ran over him. The hall monitor then tried to get up again, but before he could, the four teens ran over him again from the other side, and shortly after they ran over him, both thephantom and the lunch lady ran over him as well.

The four teens then ran up the stairs, and following behind them were the phantom and the lunch lady. After they run up, they run back down, and for some reason Johnny was now running with the four teens. After running back down, the four teens (as Johnny somehow had disappeared) quickly ran through the hallway again with the phantom and lunch lady following them. They run out of the school front door and towards the side of the school. However, during the chase, no one noticed Eddy had run ahead of everyone and quickly hid behind a tree. He stood behind the tree until everyone ran past him. Once he was sure the coast was clear, Eddy tried to sneak off, but suddenly, out of nowhere, the phantom appeared in front of him, causing Eddy to scream and to rejoin with his friends. The group were once again running for their lives; however, for some reason, Shaggy and Scooby had joined them and joining the lunch lady, and the phantom in chasing the teens is a headless horseman carrying a flaming jack o lantern.

The group continued to run until they went back inside the school through the front door. After entering the school, they run until they reach a hallway, which has three doors on both the left and right walls. The group then dispersed and went to a random door, and shortly afterward the phantom, the lunch lady, and the horseman arrived at the hallway, where they too separated and went through a random door. The third door on the right opened, and out came Eddy being chased by the headless horseman. The two run through the door in front of them. The second door on the left then opened, and out came Gilda, who was carrying Shaggy in her arm. She ran to the first door on the right. The second door on the right then opened up, and out came the lunch lady who was being chased by Ed and Sonata. The three run through the third door on the left. Then the first door on the left opened, and out came the headless horseman who was being chased by Eddy, who was riding on his horse and carrying the flaming jacko lantern. The two went to the door that was in front of them. Then the third door on the right opened up, and out came a cow that ran through the door that was in front of it. The first and third doors on the left wall opened up and out came the phantom and sonata. When the phantom saw Sonata, he quickly ran towards her, and Sonata, after seeing the phantom running towards her, quickly ran for her life. The two ran in a circle, and as they continued to run, the phantom didn’t notice that Sonata had snuck out of the circle to take a few deep breaths before eventually returning back to the circle to resume the chase. After a while, the two then ran into the first door on the left wall. The second door on the left wall then opened, and out came a cow who ran through the door in front of it. The first door on the right then opened up, and out came Eddy, Gilda, Sonata, Ed, Shaggy, Scooby, the Lunch Lady, the phantom, and the headless horseman. Eddy, who was at the front of everyone, quickly went to the door that was in front of them and opened it for everyone. Once everyone was through, Eddy himself went through the door. The second door on the left and right wall then opened up, and from the left door out came the phantom, the lunch lady, and the horsemen, and from the right door out came Eddy, Gilda, Sonata, Ed, Shaggy, and Scooby. The two groups crash into one another, causing them to fall into a pile on the floor, and just as they were getting up, the third door of the left wall opened up and out came a bear. It let out a roar, causing everyone to get up and run for their lives.

The chase then returned back to the hallway, and it continued until they reached the front door of the school. The four teens went ahead and opened the front door, allowing Shaggy, Scooby, the phantom, the lunch lady, and the horsemen to exit the school. After everyone went through the door, the four teens closed the door before running away as far as they could.
….
"Find anything.” Sunset asked Double D, who shakes his head no. Currently everyone, with the exception of Eddy, Gilda, Sonata, and Ed, has regrouped in the library, trying to discuss what they have found so far, which was nothing. Suddenly the door to the library opened, and in came Eddy, Gilda, Sonata, and Ed, who were breathing hard.

"Let me guess another chase.” Adagio said.

"Yes,” Gilda said.

"This had to stop.” Sunset said.

"I agree, and there's one way to do this.” Grim said as he brought out his scythe. "And that is to get the culprit, and I just happen to know who the culprit is.”

"For the last time, grim, it’s not red herring.” Sunset said.

"Oh, come on, it has to be him.” Grim said.

"Anyhow, grim obsession with red herring aside, he just has a point in that the only way for this to end is to get the culprit, and I know exactly how to do it.” Sunset said. "We will use a trap, and luckily for you all, I know exactly what kind of trap to set up.”
….
The front door opened, and walking in were the lunch lady and the phantom. As they walked in, the lunch lady's watch suddenly rang, causing her to check it.

"Oh, look at time; my shift is over.” The lunch lady said before she turned to look at the phantom. ”It's been fun, but I need to go home now. My soap opera is on in a few minutes.”

"Fair enough.” The phantom said. "Can I have my bat back?”

"Sure," the lunch lady said before she gave back the bat to the phantom, who did the same and gave back the lunch lady spatula.

"Anyhow, good luck in getting those kids.” The lunch lady said before she walked off.

"Now time for me to get those brats.” The phantom said before he walked off to look for his target. However, he didn’t have to look long, as after a few minutes of searching, he found his target.

"They you are.” The phantom said to Eddy and Gilda, who were standing in the middle of the hallway. He then charged towards them, but due to his attention being on Eddy and Gilda, he didn’t notice the large oil that was spread on the floor in front of him, and due to that, he ended up slipping on the oil.

“ Ahhhh.” The Phantom screamed as he slipped on the oil. As he slipped on the oil, he hit both Eddy and Gilda, who turned out to be cardboard cutouts. The phantom continues to slip through the hallway, and as he continues to slip through the hallway, one of the lockers in front of him opens, and out comes Gilda, who was holding a large pie. She held it in front of the phantom, who hit the pie as he traveled through the hallway.

"Ahhh, I hate coconut.” The phantom yells as he continues to slip on the floor. He took the pie tin of his face and saw a banana peel in front of him. He slipped on the peel and landed on the floor face first, and before he could get up, one of the locker doors door open and out came Ed, who quickly sat down on the phantom. The rest of the locker opened up and came out sunset and co.

"Well, look like we got the phantom.” Gilda said as she joined the rest.

"What's going on here?" Neighsay said as he and Goodvibe arrived at the scene.

"We caught the phantom of the school stage.” Eddy said happily.

"So that’s the so-called phantom of the school stage,” Neighsay said as he eyed the phantom.

"Except it’s not a phantom; it’s actually red herring dress as a phantom.” Grim said.

"And I keep telling you it’s not me.” Red herring said as he walked onto the scene with an annoyed expression.

“Then it must be the creepy janitor.” Eddy said.

"Did someone call me?" The janitor said as he walked onto the scene.

"Ok, if it’s not red herring, and if it’s not the janitor, then who is it?" Eddy asked.

"Let's find out.” Sunset said as she removed the mask to reveal Eris.

"Eris was the phantom all this long.” Grim said in a shock voice.

"I don’t think so.” Sunset said before she pulled Eris face to reveal Miss Large Bottom.

"Miss large bottom was the phantom.” Ed asked only for sunset to remove Mis large bottom face to reveal Nergal.

"Nergal was the phantom.” Double D asked only for sunset to remove Nergal face to reveal Princess Twilight.

"Princess Twilight was the phantom.” Sonata asked only for sunset to remove twilight face to reveal principal Celestia.

"Principal Celestia of CHS was the phantom.” Adagio said before sunset, remove Celestia face to reveal vice principal Luna.

“Vice principal Luna was the phantom.” Aria asked only for sunset to remove her face to reveal flash sentry.

"Ok, who’s this?” Eddy asked.

“My ex-boyfriend, flash sentry.” Sunset said before removing his face to reveal Sombra.

"Sombra was the phantom.” Grim asked before sunset remove his face to reveal Tirek.

"Tirek was the phantom.” Sonata asked in a shock voice only for Sunset to remove his face to reveal Laura Faust.

"Laura Faust was the phantom.” Aria said in a surprise voice only for sunset to remove her face to reveal Maxwell atom.

"Maxwell atom was the phantom.” Grim said before sunset to remove maxwell face to reveal Morg, the Martian grim reaper.

"Morg was the phantom,” Adagio said.

"No, the phantom is….”Sunset said before removing Morg face to reveal cheese sandwich with a twirling mustache, "Cheese sandwich, evil twin rotten sandwich.”

"I knew it,” Gilda said.

"Wait, I don’t understand how it can be cheese sandwich, brother.” Ed asked.

"Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense.” Sonata said.

"If you two had been paying attention, you would have known it was rotten sandwich.” Aria said.

"But I...” Ed said.

"She's right. You two are just dumb." Grim said.

"Curse you.” Rotten sandwich said. "I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids and you stupid dog.” The camera then moves to show the entire Scooby Doo gang.

"No, no, no over here.” Sunset said before the camera moved back to them. "Thank you.”

"But I don’t understand why he did it.” Ed asked.

"Cause his cheese sandwich evil opposite.” Sunset said, "cheese sandwiche loves pranks and to make people happy, and rotten sandwiche hates pranks and loves to make people miserable.”

"It's true.” Rotten sandwich said.

"So what are we going to do with him?” Eddy asked.

"I have some ideas.” Neighsay said.
….
In one of the school classrooms, rotten sandwich can be seen repeatedly writing on the blackboard, I shall not dress as a phantom, and terrorized my classmate, and standing next to him was Iron Will, who was making sure he served his punishment.

"Well, that’s that.” Grim said as he and everyone looked through the window from the outside of the school.

"So what now?" Cheese sandwich asked.

"Want to go hit the movies?” Grim asked.

“ Sure.” Gilda said, and shortly afterward everyone gave out a similar response of yes.

"Well, then let’s go.” Grim said before he and everyone began making their way to the movies.
….
In Canterlot City, Sombra can be seen walking through one of the city parks until he reaches a park bench where a man in a trench coat and hat can be seen sitting on it. He sat on the bench before turning to the man.

"What do you have for me?” Sombra asked.

"Rabid dogs for sale.” The man said before opening his coat to reveal rabid dogs.

"Opps, sorry, wrong bench.” Sombra said before he ran off, and shortly afterward the dogs attacked the man.

"No wait, please take the dogs.” The man yells as the dogs attack him.

Sombra then went to a tree, where he rested his back on it.

"Ah, Sombra, just the person we've been looking for.” A voice said, and immediately Sombra turned to the source of the voice to see a man dressed in a trench coat and hat.

"Come, our leader awaits you,” the man said as he motioned for Sombra to follow him. Sombra nodded and followed the man until they reached a van park in the park parking lot. When they were near enough, the side of the van opened up and out came two men, and before Sombra could react, they covered his head with a small burlap bag and dragged him into the van.
….
When the bag was removed, Sombra found himself sitting down in a small office of some kind, and sitting across the office desk in front of him was a woman in her mid-30s with teal-colored hair. The woman wore a black woman business suit, and around her neck was a green star-shaped necklace. Standing behind the woman were two men holding high-tech guns. This woman was Chrysalis, the former leader of the Changelings syndicate.

"Greetings, Sombra.” Chrysalis said.

"Greetings, Chrysalis.” Sombra said.

"Now to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you once again after our last encounter?" Chrysalis asked.

"Well, I have something that you might be interested in.” Sombra said as he pulled out a pen drive from his pocket. Chrysalis eyed the pen drive for a moment before taking it and plugging it in the computer that was on the table. She then looked at the information that was in the pen drive and immediately opened her eye in shock.

"This data you have gotten.” Chrysalis said. "Their are not normal. They look arcane in nature.”

"I knew it you would easily identify them.” Sombra said. "It is for that reason why I brought them to you.” Not many know this, but the Changeling syndicate was a group that specializes in the use of magic, which they try to use to take over the world. Chrysalis herself is a master sorceress who masters the art of transformation magic, a type of magic that allows its user to change forms.

"What can you tell me about them?" Sombra said.

"Not much, as I have no idea what kind of magic this is." Chrysalis said.

"Really, and I thought you were an expert in the art of magic.” Sombra said. "Didn't you always brag about how you graduate at the top class at that magic school? What’s it called again? Frogblatt magic school.”

"Toadblatt's school of sorcery,” Chrysalis said. "And yes, I am an expert in magic, but this magic is one I don’t think anyone has ever encountered before.” Chrysalis then turns to face Sombra. ”Anyway, why did you bring this to me since I don’t think you would bring this to me, not unless you want something from me?”

"Sharp as ever, Chrysi." Sombra said. ”Anyway, as you can see, I am researching this unknown energy, and I obviously need some help. Recently, I acquired a gifted apprentice to assist me, but I don't think she is enough for me to unlock the secret of this unknown energy, which is why I am asking for your assistance, as you have some experience when it comes to arcane magic.”

“And why should I help you?" Chrysalis said with a raised eyebrow. "We hadn’t actually been on speaking terms, not since the four-way war that destroyed our organization.”

"Well, first thing first, I hardly doubt you would pass up a change to study this unknown energy,” Sombra said. "And second, I know for a fact that, like me, you are trying to rebuild you organization so you can take over the world, and I also know that, like me, you currently lack the resources and manpower to do so. But with this unknown energy, we might be able to not only rebuild our organization but also make it stronger than before, and by working together, we might be able to achieve it.”

"So you are proposing that we form an alliance.” Chrysalis said.

"That's what I am saying.” Sombra said, and immediately Chrysalis had a thoughtful look on her face. "Come now, what’s there to think about? "It's not like you have much left to lose, and besides, by working together, we might finally be able to restore ourselves to our former glory.”

Hearing that Chrysalis can’t help but agree with Sombra, he was right, as there was not much left for her to lose.

"All right, you have yourself a partnership.” Chrysalis said.

“ Excellent.” Sombra said before he and Chrysalis said shook hands. Unknown to the two, however, is that on the wall of the office, a robotic fly with a camera head was looking at them.
….
In a dark room somewhere, a figure can be seen sitting down on a chair looking at a computer screen that shows sombra and chrysalis meetings.

"So it is true that the umbrum syndicate and the Changeling syndicate are returning.” The figure said. ” Hmmm. I guess it might be high time for me to get out of hiding and make my move.”
….
Sombra, after he was done with his meeting with Chrysalis, was being escorted back into the van that was parked in the building's front parking lot. After entering the van, it drove off; however, as the van drove off unseen by anyone standing behind a park car, there was a small orange fish dress in a green military hat and a green, skin-tight jumpsuit that covered his tail, with a belt with a large, square buckle. The fish stood and watched the van drive off before pulling out a communications device.

"Blah blah blah blah." The fish said as he spoke into the communications device.

"So it is true the Changeling syndicate and umbrum syndicate are returning.” The person on the other end of the device said. "Return to headquarters immediately, cod commander; we need to plan out our next move first before we do anything.”

"Blah blah blah blah," the fish now known as cod commander said before saluting, and after he put his hand down, he began moving far away from the building as fast as he could.

Author's Note

Sorry for the late update, but I have some writers block when doing this story.

Now for my fact of the day:

As you can tell, much of this story was based on Scooby Doo. For example, the music used on the first chase scene was the music used for the Johnny Bravo and Scooby Doo crossover chase scene.

The part about Grim blaming Red Herring is an obvious reference to a pup named Scooby Doo, where Fred would always blame Red Herring for everything from being the monster of the week to other random things.

And this part here

Sonata had snuck out of the circle to take a few deep breaths before eventually returning back to the circle to resume the chase.

Was a reference to Scooby Doo Ahoy, where during a chase scene Fred dad run was being chased into a circle until he sneaked off to take a break before returning back to the circle to continue the chase.

The part where Sunset tried to bride Eddy with a quarter before using two quarters was an obvious reference to how the Scooby gang would bride Scooby and Shaggy with Scooby snack.
This part here:

"I am being pinched by a bunch of crabs." The phantom sang as the crabs pinched him, causing him pain. He then suddenly jumped in pain. "Don't go down there." He then jumped again. "They went down there."

"Oh no, these crabs are getting everywhere." The phantom sang before he suddenly jumped into the air and bounced on the floor a few times, causing the crabs inside of his robe to come out. He stopped bouncing as soon as the last crab got out. He then got back in the middle of the stage and turned to face Eddy.

Was a reference to the new looney tunes where Bugs Bunny did something similar.

Skip to1:35

And also this scene here:
"Curse you.” Rotten sandwich said. "I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids and you stupid dog.” The camera then moves to show the entire Scooby Doo gang.

"No, no, no over here.” Sunset said before the camera moved back to them. "Thank you.”
Was a reference to reap walking, where after Billy Mom said the classic line it turned to show the entire Scooby Doo gang before Mandy told the camera to turn back to them.

And the part where everyone acts like that the phantom was rotten sandwich was obvious was a reference to Billy and Mandy's Circus of Fear, as in that both Mandy and Grim act like the main villain, Dr. Fear, being an earthworm, was supposed to be obvious.

And finally inspiration for this chapter was from the Kappa Mikey episode, the phantom of the soundstage, and this scene here:

"What do you have for me?” Sombra asked.

"Rabid dogs for sale.” The man said before opening his coat to reveal rabid dogs.

"Opps, sorry, wrong bench.” Sombra said before he ran off, and shortly afterward the dogs attacked the man.

It came from the Kappa Mikey episode the Oni Express, where something similar happened.

Anyhow, did anyone like the call back to the previous chapter, such as the Changeling syndicate, which was mentioned back in chapter 8, or to Morg the Martian grim reaper, which was mentioned in chapter 13?

Anyhow, don’t forget to leave a comment on what you think of my story so far.
