G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf

Nothing could make the Mane 6, Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, Googie and Indigo happier than they already were.

Shaggy had finally won the Monster Road Rally, and in doing so, won back his humanity, and everyone’s freedom, meaning they were all free to leave Transylvania forever!

However… Dracula seemed to have other plans.

Pipp, Misty, Sunny and Indigo squealed and hugged one another as they departed from the Werewolf Wagon, happier than they had ever felt in a long time.

Pipp finally broke away from the hug and turned back to the livestream she had been recording. “And there you have it, Pippsqueaks! Shaggy’s gonna be turned back to normal and we’re gonna be home free in just a few minutes’ time! Feel free to subscribe for more hoof-tastic content like this! Pipp Pipp, bye-bye!”

And for the first time that day, Pipp put her phone back under her wing, sighing in contentment. But no one could be happier in that moment than Indigo. Her freedom was finally hers again... and she couldn't wait to go be with her friends again.

In fact, the purple leopard was so happy, tears began to form in her eyes. “Indy?” Scooby looked at her in concern. “Are you okay?”

“These are tears of joy, Scooby!” Indigo admitted with a smile. “I’m finally free! I’ve been dreaming of this day for so long, but I thought it would never come! And now… I have you guys to thank for it.”

“Aww… like, we’d do anything for you and your clan, Indy,” Shaggy said as he and Scooby hugged the leopard close. “You’re one of us, remember?”

During their hug, Vanna Pira approached Shaggy with a happy smile, holding the "Monster of the Year" trophy out to him. “Congratulations, Shaggy! You are the Monster of the Year!”

“No way!” Dracula ran up and snatched the trophy from his wife, causing immense concern. “But, Dracky…” Vanna Pira began to protest. “Uh, that’s okay,” Sunny said politely. “It was really sweet of you, but I don’t think Shaggy wants to be the monster of this year or any year.”

Shaggy nodded sincerely to this. “I just want to be changed back to myself.”

“And go home!” Scooby added. “Yeah,” Shaggy then nodded. “And go home, like you promised.”

Dracula crossed his arms with a snarl at this. “Never!”

“But you promised!” Shaggy cried, grabbing Dracula’s arm. “I won the race!”

“Y-You promised!” Indigo pleaded, fear replacing the hope in her eyes. “I am so sorry,” Dracula apologized to Shaggy, his voice dripping with sympathy. “But there's just no way to change you back.”

“Oh, Dracky, that's a monster fib,” Vanna Pira scolded, holding the Grimness Book close. “It tells right here in the Grimness Book how to turn a werewolf back to…”

“Give me that!!” Dracula snapped, grabbing the book from her. “Or right to the moon! Bang! Zoom!”

“I’ve got this!” Misty closed her eyes and lit her horn, causing the book to disappear from Dracula’s arms and into Shaggy’s-- a new spell she had been practicing. “Great work, Misty!” Shaggy patted her head, just as Dracula turned to them, anger burning in his gaze. “You better give that back, you insolent pests!”

“Uh-oh…” Pipp gulped as the three ponies, Shaggy and Scooby began to back up. “I think we’re totally in trouble here…”

That seemed to fuel Indigo’s anger, and she leapt in front of her friends, wings outstretched as she snarled menacingly. “Indigo! Get out of my way!” Dracula snapped. “You’re ruining everything!”

“NO! I’m not your servant anymore!” Indigo snarled. “You may have kept my prisoner all this time, and you may have forced me to do horrible things, but you are NOT going to hurt my new friends in ANY circumstance!”

“I have given you everything, you worthless brat,” Dracula sneered, “and THIS is how you betray me?!”

“You were the one who kept her prisoner and kept her aside!” Sunny snarled. “Sunny’s right!” Misty said. “I know how Indigo must have felt-- being under the hoof of somepony that’s angry and just wants to control you.”

“But I’m not gonna take it from you anymore… or take it from anyone else in Transylvania!” Indigo said, her wings outstretched further. “So if you wanna hurt them, you’re going to have to get through me!”

“Get through all of us!”

Before Indigo could realize what happened, her clanmates descended, snarling with their wings outstretched. “Guys!” Indigo gasped. “You’re here!”

“Hey, did you seriously think that we were gonna let you deal with this fanged freak on your own?” Draven asked with a smirk. “You seriously doubt us?”

“We’re here for you all the way,” Heather said with a smile. “But right now, RUN!!!”

This caused all the leopards, Misty, Shaggy, Sunny, Pipp and Scooby to bolt away to keep the book safe, causing Dracula to growl in anger. “Hunch Bunch! Get that book!”

Shaggy laughed and tossed the book to Maya, who quickly lost the book by Crunch jumping up and getting it before she could. “Hey!”

Crunch laughed mockingly before the book was grabbed by Scooby, who giggled before Brunch laughed and took it away from him. “Ha ha ha, old bean!”

“Well,” Misty said with a confident smirk, grabbing the book from him, “ha ha ha to you!”

“Ha ha ha to you too!” Dracula knocked her aside, grabbing the book back from her before Scrappy grabbed it from within Shaggy’s car, with Googie at the wheel, and Hitch, Sparky, Izzy and Zipp in the main cab. “Ditto, Draco!” the pup taunted before pushing a button that caused a large wagon for the leopards to ride in appeared in the back. “Quick, you guys!” Zipp shouted to her friends and sister. “Get in!”

“Don’t have to tell us twice!” Alder shouted before everyone got in the car, and a second or two later, it sped off. “They’re getting away!” Dracula shouted. “Hunch-Bunch, get my Drac-Mobile. Get my Drac-Mobile!”

The Hunch Bunch then arrived with a Herse like vehicle, and Dracula quickly got into the back of it. “What took you so long?”

And just like that, the Drac-Mobile zoomed off after the group, who were going as fast as they could to escape. “YIKES!!” Cyrus meowed in panic. “Step on it, Googie! They’re gaining on us!”

“I say, master,” Brunch observed the group, “they appear to be pulling away!”

“Nonsense!” Dracula dismissed. “I’ll stop them with the Drac-Vac!”

With the push of a button, a large vacuum-like device began to pull on the car in front of them, nearly pulling Scrappy out of the car itself. “Oh no!” Shaggy cried. “He’s got us!”

“Not if we can make it to that turn in the road!” Zipp said grabbing the wheel in her hooves and turning it as much as she could. Eventually, they did make it into the turn, letting the Drac-Vac pull a nearby rock toward the Drac-Mobile, crushing it in the process.

But Dracula wasn’t ready to give up just yet. “Quick! Bring me my Bat Plane!”

“Yes master!”

“Yes master!”

The Hunch Bunch quickly zipped off and returned a moment or two later with a bat-styled plane, but to Dracula, it took them a lot longer than he wanted. “What kept you?”

“Sorry,” Brunch apologized first. “We’re sorry,” Crunch added as Dracula got in the plane and took to the skies after the group, hoping to have a comparative advantage.

Hitch and Sparky sighed when they saw that Dracula wasn’t pursuing them anymore, the former speaking out to his friends. “I think we finally lost him.”

“I don’t wanna be like the bearer of bad news,” said Somnia with a bit of fear, “but I don’t think it’s that easy, Hitch!”

She pointed her paw up to the sky, and Scooby immediately saw what she was pointing to. “Oh no! It’s Dracula again!”

“I just wanted to fang you all for your visit,” Dracula called down to them before shooting fangs out of his fang launcher, causing Sunny to turn into an alicorn to try and deflect them. “Ugh… I can’t hold them off forever!”

“She’s right! Once that shield goes down,” Shaggy trembled, “like, we’ll be sitting ducks!”

“What we need is a roof over our heads!” Googie shouted. “Hang on, gang!”

The leopards let out a scream as Googie drove into a shed and began pushing it, protecting them from the fangs all together. “Fools!” Dracula shouted. “That won’t protect you against my Munchy Missle!”

“Munchy Missle?” Maya blinked. “Aww, that sounds so cute!”

However, when Dracula launched the missle with chomping teeth (teeth which chomped down their shed shelter), Maya shrieked in panic. “I take it back! So not cute, so not cute!”

“Luckily, he’s not the only one who can fly!” Heather said as she spread her wings. “They’re right! Quick, Googie!” Sunny shouted. “Switch the car to jet flight and let’s get out of here!”

Googie nodded at this. “Right!”

With the simple flick of a switch, the car sprouted a rocket engine and wings, causing it to fly off into the sky with alicorn Sunny, Pipp, Zipp and the flying leopards pursuing them, causing the group to cheer as they took off.

Dracula smirked at seeing the group take off. “So, they think they can escape Dracula. Ha ha ha!!” he said victoriously. “Not while I still have my tombs-day weapon-- the headstone rocket!”

The flying leopards glanced at each other at this statement. “Did he say headstone rocket?!”

Headstones that looked like rockets shot out from the nose of the plane and into some nearby clouds, turning the peaceful clouds into a raging storm full of wind and rain, and stucking the ponies and all their friends into it, causing them to scream loudly as they were tossed to and fro.

Dracula, on the other hand, cackled, completely satisfied. “What a beautiful nightmare! Shaggy and his friends will be twisting and turning all night long!” he said before getting a video camera out of the plane. “I've got to get this on tape for my horror highlights. Everybody say cheese!”

However, as he focused on the group through his camera, a lightning bolt struck the plane, desinigrating it and causing Dracula to gulp, knowing good and well what this meant. “Oh, cheese…”

And just like that, Dracula dropped down into the ocean with a huge splash, surely not going to be a problem for our heroes and their friends again.

Zipp groaned, putting a hoof to her head after the tumbling finally died down. “Is everypony okay?”

“If you mean sick at our stomachs and getting ready to puke,” Draven groaned, “then… we’re just dandy.”

Indigo looked around at the calm scene, the storm clouds having vanished into thin air. “W-What just happened?” she asked. “Where’s the storm?”

“And where’s Dracula?” Googie asked, looking around as well. That's when Somnia noticed something that made her heart skip a beat. “And our wings aren’t flapping, and your jet’s not firing!” she exclaimed. “H-H-How are we flying?!”

“I know how we’re flying,” Scooby answered the leopard, gesturing to the first-class plane that they had landed on. “We’re flying first class!”

This caused the entire group to cheer and rejoice, having finally escaped from the evil vampire and his kingfdom forever. Now there was only one thing left to do-- get back to Shaggy's house and turn Shaggy back to normal once and for all!

A few hours later, everyone returned back to Shaggy's house and were set down at the table for a great dinner-- the best that the flying leopards had ever had since Indigo had been taken prisoner.

Shaggy was the first to break the hunger-driven silence with a happy sigh. “Oh, boy! Like, it's great to be home again.”

“I’ll eat to that!” Scrappy nodded. “Right, Uncle Scoob?”

“You betcha!” Scooby nodded as he slurped up some spaghetti on his plate. “Man, this is some of the best food I’ve eaten in DAYS!” Pipp said as she wiped her mouth. “Who knew home cooking could taste so good?”

“Well, I’d say let's make like shovels and dig in!” Shaggy told the group with a howl, preparing to chow down on some pizza before Zipp grabbed it to stop him. “Just a minute, wolf boy!”

“Huh?” Shaggy looked confused as he faced Googie and Zipp, the former holding the Grimness Book in her arms. “First things first,” Googie answered. “We're going to change you back from being a werewolf.”

“Is there really a way to do that?” Maya asked. “There is, but it has to come from Shaggy himself,” Zipp said sternly. “Repeating this rhyme we found in the book word for word is the only way to reverse the spell.”

“Repeat after me,” Googie told her boyfriend before repeating the rhyme. “Oogly boogly wobbly wye-- no more a werewolf am I. I'm going to be a normal guy.”

“Okay… here goes,” Shaggy gulped nervously before clearing his throat and speaking the rhyme, loud and clear. “Oogly boogly wobbly wye-- no more a werewolf am I. I'm… gonna be a normal guy!”

Suddenly, there came a flash of light, and the others had to look away to preserve their vision. When they looked again, they smiled at discovering the spell had worked-- Shaggy was back to his old self again!

Googie wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, relieved beyond measure. “Oh, Shaggy!”

“Yippee!” Scooby hugged his nephew. “Pipp Pipp Hooray!” the ponies cheered, high-hoofing the flying leopards. Indigo sighed as Googie fed Shaggy a slice of pizza. “No more werewolf!”

“And no more Dracula,” Shaggy agreed. “What a mean guy. You know, something was always eating at him.”

“You know, it makes me wonder… what did happen to him?” Hitch wondered.

In the ocean, Dracula screamed as he was being chased by a shark, with the Hunch Bunch trailing them on a sailboat. “Ahh! Oh! Yeow! HEELP!!! Hunch Bunch! HEEELP!!! Aah! Hurry up!”

Needless to say… Dracula would no longer be a threat to our heroes, and Shaggy would probably be safe forever.
