G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! and the Cyber Chase

At the moment, our heroes (real and cyber) were in the process of being chased by monster that Mystery Inc had faced in their past, and it wasn’t easy to finally get away from them.

Pipp, Daphne and their cyber doubles had run into the saloon, where they tricked the Creeper into wearing a cowboy costume to get a picture taken, and the camera blew up, leaving the Creeper charred beyond recognition.

Zipp, Velma, Sunny and their cyber doubles managed to escape Old Iron Face at the petting zoo, where a mama goat head-butted the monster into the next pen filled with chickens.

The two Freds and the two Hitches were on bumper cars when the Gator Ghoul was riding on one, and they got his car to speed up to a wall, sending the gator to a dunk tank. Fred tossed his shoe at the target, and the gator was now in the water.

Shaggy, Izzy and their cyber doubles were enjoying some snacks when they were suddenly approached by the Tar Monster, but they got back at it by blasting soda at it, sending it to the cotton candy mixer to become cotton candy.

Tanya, Anitra, Misty, Scooby and their cyber doubles managed to lose Jaguaro on the log flume ride, sending him into the waters at the end of the ride.

Now the only things that our heroes had to do was regroup and find the Scooby Snacks before anything worse happened.

“Mistys!”

“Tanya! Anitra!”

“Scooby-Doos!”

“Where are you?!”

Many of our heroes made it back together again, but now they still had to find the friends that were still lost in the amusement park. “I wonder where they are,” Daphne wondered out loud, just before Misty, Scooby, their cyber doubles and the Enchantix Wolves walked into view. “We’re over here!”

“There they are!” Pipp and Cyber Pipp said at once. “Come on, guys!” Shaggy and Cyber Shaggy exclaimed, prompting the wolves and the Mistys to race to their friends and hug them while the Scoobys barreled into the Shaggys, knocking them off their feet, causing everyone to laugh out loud. “Now that we're all here,” Fred declared, “we've got one last monster to face.”

Tanya nodded stiffly at this. “The Phantom Virus.”

“And,” Velma added, “this is the final level, so the virus won't be easy to beat.”

“But as long as we stick together,” Sunny added, “we can do anything! All we need right now is a plan to bring the virus down.”

“Hey… what’s this?” Shaggy felt his pocket, and when he felt that there was something in there, he reached in and pulled out something rather familiar. “Zoinks! I still got the magnet Professor Kaufman gave me!”

“Hey, so do I!” Sunny realized, pulling hers out of her saddlebag. “You mean you had that magnet with you all this time and forgot about it?” Zipp asked with a frustrated look. “Yeah,” Shaggy said a bit nervously. “I guess I was too busy being scared.”

“What’s wrong with Cyber Shag?” Velma then asked. When Shaggy, Sunny and Zipp turned, they saw Cyber Shaggy… in fact, all of the cyber doubles, in some sort of daze due to the magnet’s influence. “What’s going on here?” Anitra wondered, worried about their friends. “The cyber gang and the cyber ponies made of electromagnetic energy,” Velma assumed, “and therefore affected by the magnet, just like the Phantom Virus.”

Quickly enough, Shaggy and Sunny put their magnets away, bringing their friends out of the daze. “What's this about a magnet?” Cyber Shaggy asked, not recalling any of what just occurred. “Hey!” Misty realized. “We have a way to beat the Phantom Virus now!”

“And we know he’s guarding the Scooby Snacks in there,” Zipp said, pointing to the arcade. “We just have to go in there and get the snacks.”

That’s when Fred turned to his cyber counterpart. “We need your gang to stay here.”

“You don’t want us to help?” Cyber Hitch asked in confusion. “Well, we’ll ask for your help if need be,” Pipp said, “but we wouldn't want you to get hurt by the magnets again.”

“Magnets?” Cyber Daphne asked, confused. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh… never mind,” Pipp chuckled nervously. “I’ll go in with you,” Tanya said before turning to her sister. “Anitra, want to come?”

“Of course!” Anitra nodded. “It’s because of these guys we were able to find one another. If I can do anything to help… I will.”

“Then let’s put our gaming faces on, guys,” Zipp said, cracking her neck and trying to be intimidating. “It's monster busting time!”

The real Mane 6, the real Mystery Inc and the two Enchantix Wolves soon entered the arcade, and Shaggy couldn’t help but be impressed with the layout. “Man, this is one great video arcade.”

“Uh-huh,” Scooby nodded in agreement. “Just keep an eye open for the virus,” Fred told the others as they proceeded to walk into the arcade. Only a few seconds later, Daphne spotted the Scooby-Doo video game on the edge of the arcade wall. “Look! There’s the Scooby-Doo video game!”

“And the Scooby Snacks!” Hitch pointed to the Scooby Snacks on top of the arcade machine. “Oh boy!” Scooby panted. “Scooby Snacks!”

“Well, come on, boy! Let’s go get it!” Pipp said before she and Scooby charged toward the machine. But not even a few seconds later, they ran back to Zipp and Shaggy at the sound of the Phantom Virus’s laughter. “I-I hear him,” Tanya said as she and her sister charged their magic, “but I don’t see him!”

“Keep your eyes peeled for him!” Sunny shouted as she activated her alicorn form. “He could be anywhere!”

“Uh… I think I have a good idea!” Misty said as she pointed to the Scooby-Doo game, which violently shook before it exploded, revealing the Phantom Virus, in the cyber-flesh. “Ta-da! Ready to play some games?”

He shot lightning right at the arcade machines, causing them to come to life and start flinging balls and pucks right at the group, causing them to scream and dive for cover behind more arcade machines. “Shaggy, Sunny!” Anitra cried. “The magnets!”

“Huh?” Sunny blinked before she remembered. “You’re right! Come on, Shag! Time to end this!”

“Like, if you’re sure about this!” Shaggy said, holding out his magnet while Sunny held out hers… but the magnets didn’t seem to affect the virus in any way. “Shaggy, Sunny!” Zipp called. “You gotta hold your magnets closer!”

“Like, that’s easy for you to say!” Shaggy cried. “Then toss the magnet over here!” Fred told him. “With pleasure!” Shaggy said before tossing Fred his magnet. Then, Fred and Sunny moved closer to the virus with their magnets in tow. “Hey, Mr. Zappy!”

As the magnets drew closer to the virus, the virus yelled out in pain as he began to glitch in and out. “It’s working!” Hitch exclaimed. “Misty, Scooby! Go get the snacks!”

“We’re on it!” Misty saluted with a smile before she and Scooby split up to different sides of the arcade. “Hurry, guys!” Fred strained as he and Sunny kept the magnets close to the virus. “I don’t know how much longer this is going to work!”

However, as Misty and Scooby kept getting closer and closer to the snacks, Fred tripped on a ball and landed on Sunny, causing them to both fall to the ground and lose their magnets underneath the arcade machines. “Oh no!” Daphne yelled while the others gasped in shock. “Oh, tough break,” the Phantom Virus taunted, and as Sunny and Fred tried to get away, the virus zapped some arcade machines, letting Sunny and Fred get tangled up in the wires. “Sunny!” Daphne gasped. “Freddy!”

“Hang on, guys!” Zipp cried. “We’re coming to help you!”

“Oh, no you don’t!” the virus said before zapping more machines, letting all the other ponies (except Misty, who was hiding with Scooby), Tanya and Anitra get tangled up in the wires. Hitch tried to get out of the wires, but even he found himself struggling. “The wires are too tight! I can’t use my magic while I’m in them!”

“Neither can I!” Tanya strained. “My wings are tangled too!” Zipp struggled to move. “I can’t fly!”

“What are we gonna do now?!” Izzy shrieked as the gang prepared to take on the worst.

Outside the arcade, the cyber Mane 6 and their friends saw all the lightning coming from inside the arcade, causing Cyber Daphne to become very concerned. “Looks like they’re in trouble.”

“Like, we gotta do something!” Cyber Shaggy pointed out. “You’re right!” Cyber Hitch agreed. “Then let’s go help them!”

But before they could move, they froze upon hearing growling and groaning sounds behind them, and looked to see the monsters coming up from behind. “Oh no!” Cyber Velma cried out. “They’re back!”

“RUN!!!” the cyber ponies screamed as the cyber gang and themselves split up into several different directions. While one third of the gang (Cyber Fred, Cyber Daphne, Cyber Velma, Cyber Hitch, Cyber Zipp and Cyber Sunny) got cornered by the Creeper, the Tar Monster and the Gator Ghoul and another third (Cyber Shaggy, Cyber Izzy and Cyber Pipp) got chased by Jaguaro and Old Iron Face, Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby were able to get somewhere safer, and Cyber Misty came to a conclusion. “Scooby, we have to get in there and save our friends, no matter what they might be facing. Are you with me?”

“Okay!” Cyber Scooby nodded with a smile. “Come on, Follow me,” Cyber Misty encouraged, “and stay close.”

So, the two cautiously entered the arcade and gasped at what they saw before them-- many of their friends were tangled in wires, and the Phantom Virus was shooting lightning and throwing balls from games all over the place while cackling like a maniac.

Cyber Misty knew that it would be too risky to go out into the open, so she guided Cyber Scooby off to the side where Fred and Sunny were tied up. “Misty!” Sunny exclaimed as she thought she recognized the duo. “Scooby!”

But that’s when she saw the real Scooby and the real Misty hiding from underneath the nearby air hockey table. “Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby?”

“That’s right,” Cyber Scooby nodded and tried to cut through the wires with his teeth while Cyber Misty used her horn, but none of this seemed to work. “It’s no use,” Fred told them. “We’d need some wire cutters!”

The Phantom Virus cackled and continued terrorizing the others, who seemed terrified in their own rights, but as Fred looked at the Scooby Snacks behind the virus, he suddenly had a thought that much just work. “I got an idea!” he said, looking toward Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby. “Wanna help?”

“Okay,” Cyber Scooby nodded with a smile. “Great!” Fred smiled. “Here’s the plan.”

Scooby and Misty trembled in their hiding place, wondering how they were able to get the Scooby Snacks when their friends were tied up and too afraid to move. Suddenly, their cyber doubles crawled underneath the table with them, surprising Misty. “Cyber me? Cyber Scooby? What are you two doing here?”

“Long story short, we’re here to help, and we have a plan,” Cyber Misty whispered. “Just listen close…”

Then, she and Cyber Scooby began to whisper the plan into their doubles’ ears, and after this was done, Scooby nodded in compliance-- any plan was better than no plan, so it was worth their best shot. “Okay!”

“Be careful,” Misty told them before they left, prompting the two cybers to nod before they went out into view and got the Phantom Virus’s attention.

“Yoo-hoo!”

“Over here!”

The Phantom Virus growled before firing lightning bolts at both of them, but luckily, they were able to move out of the way, just as Velma watched all of this in shock. “What are you guys doing, Scooby?”

Cyber Scooby and Cyber Misty didn’t answer, but instead leapt around and around the arcade to avoid the lightning bolts. And with the Phantom Virus distracted, Misty and Scooby silently made a move for the Scooby Snacks, much to Pipp’s alarm. “Misty, Scooby! Get back here!”

At the same time, Zipp and Shaggy watched Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby dodge blast after blast, surprised entirely. “I've never seen Scooby so brave!” Shaggy commented. “Or Misty for that matter!”

“Hey… Shaggy, I think we may have it backwards!” Zipp said. “Look!”

Shaggy saw that she was pointing to Misty and Scooby (the real ones) silently stalking toward the snacks, and somehow, Shaggy understood. “Oh, I get it. Over there is Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby,” he said before looking toward Scooby and Misty again. “And that’s our Misty and our Scoob going for the snacks!”

“Meddling horse and canine!” the Phantom Virus fired another couple of blasts, which hit Misty and Scooby’s cyber doubles but instead hit the arcade machines behind them. Then, the arcade machines grabbed Cyber Misty and Cyber Scooby with their wires and pulled them closer. “HELP!!!”

“Oh no!!” Hitch cried out while the others gasped. Suddenly, that’s when a familiar voice echoed through the air. “This game is officially over, virus!”

The Phantom Virus turned at this voice, and immediately froze in horror.

Scooby and Misty had made it to the final box of Scooby Snacks.

Immediately after this, the Phantom Virus began to fade in and out. “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

“All right, Misty and Scoob!” Shaggy cheered while the virus screamed in agony. That’s when the wires released their prisoners after what seemed like a long time, causing the ponies to sigh. “We’re free!” Anitra howled. “And safe at last!”

“Look!” Tanya pointed to the virus, who let out a final shriek as he disappeared, never to be seen again...

...much to our heroes' ultimate relief.

At the same time, the monsters that had been chasing the rest of the cybers disappeared as well, resulting in them being safe too. “You did it!” Cyber Fred cheered. “You beat the Phantom Virus!”

“Great job, guys!” Cyber Shaggy exclaimed while Cyber Scooby and Scooby snacked down on the Scooby Snacks together. “Misty, you and Scooby are real heroes!” Hitch said with a smile. “You guys and your cyber doubles!”

“Awww… guys…” Misty blushed nerovusly. “We didn’t do all THAT much.”

“Don’t be so modest,” Cyber Misty told her double. “You and Scooby got the snacks and saved our butts-- Cyber Scoob and I just distracted the virus.”

“We’re all heroes in our own way,” Cyber Zipp smiled. “And that’s all that matters.”

Suddenly, the arcade began to fade away, and a glowing orb appeared in the sky, meaning only one thing. “Looks like we’re leaving,” Fred observed. “Finally! Sister, we’re gonna get to go home!” Anitra told Tanya. “We’re finally free!”

“Are you sure you wanna split?” Cyber Shaggy asked his double. “There's a lot of cyber-buffets to try here.”

“Yeah!” Scooby nodded enthusiastically. “Okay!”

“Sorry,” Velma told their new friends. “But we have to go.”

Soon, that ball of light turned into a portal above them. “So…” Cyber Sunny frowned, “...I guess this is goodbye.”

“It’s just goodbye for now,” Sunny told her double, giving her a hug. “We’ll meet again someday… I promise.”

“Bye!”

“See ya!”

“Thanks again for all your help!”

And just like that, the cyber gang and cyber ponies watched as their friends levitated into the portal above before it vanished, letting them leave cyber space for good this time.

Now there was only one thing to do... get back to the lab and finally, after all these levels and terrifying experiences, put this mystery to bed.
