G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! Moon Monster Madness

After meeting some of their many new friends, including two hippogriff cousins, a changeling, celebrated astronauts, a football superstar, his earth pony cheerleader, a talk show host and his camera-pony, a legendary Sun Jaguar entertainer and an alien enthusiast, the Mane 6, Mystery Inc and Sparky were all ready to take off into the outer reaches of space.

But, as the Sly Star One blasted off into the sky, with a crowd wishing them a good voyage, no one in that friend circle had no idea that they would be embarking on their most complex and action-packed mission yet...

...but soon, we'll know exactly what our Equestrian heroes are going to be facing.

As the spacecraft known as the Sly Star One ventured further and further through the sky and into the atmosphere, the faces of many of our heroes stretched out to the mass amounts of gravity being pushed on them.

I mean, five times the force of gravity is a lot to put on somepony, am I right?

Soon, the spacecraft finally slowed down a bit, allowing everyone a few moments to catch their breath as they soon gazed out at the many stars that awaited them, high above the Earth’s surface. “Welcome,” Sly said through the intercom system, “to space.”

“We did it!” Fred cheered from where he was sitting beside Elvin and Steelcase. “High five, guys!”

Hitch, Izzy, Sparky, Starshine and Tidal cheered and high-fived each other instantly, wide smiles on their faces, but when Fred expected the same thing from Elvin and Steelcase, they just glared at him, causing him to chuckle nervously and turned his body forward again in order for the flight to resume.

“Wow… check out all those stars!” Shutter Snap said as she took several pictures from her seat. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen them all from this angle before!”

“None of us have… even when we came to space with the Buddies and Pippsqueaks a couple months back,” Misty muttered to Sunny. “It really puts you in perspective, doesn’t it?”

“It really does,” Sunny nodded with a small sigh. “I just hope my mom can see them from Skyros.”

“Skyros? The legendary alicorn world?” Cloudy looked at her in surprise. “Your mom is there?”

“Yeah… it’s a long story, but…” Sunny began to explain before pausing. “Hang on… you’ve heard of Skyros?”

“Of course. My mom told me stories of that place all the time,” Cloudy said as if it were obvious. “You gotta fill me in on the details later.”

Sunny giggled at this, smiling widely and finally feeling as if Cloudy was warming up to them. “Later-- promise.”

“Ladies in gentlemen,” Sly’s voice echoed through the cabin thanks to the intercom system, “we’ve reached our cruising altitude of 1 million meters. Slyco's latest host android model, or H.A.M is moving through the cabin with refreshments and observational comedy. Courtesy of me, you're welcome!”

That was when the robot in question, looking surprisingly human and wearing a black space suit like many of the others were wearing, wheeled a cart into the cabin and stood at the front to face the passengers sitting there. “You know why most restaurants always go out of business? No atmosphere,” H.A.M told an easy joke in order to start everyone off, but unfortunately… no one was laughing. “Am I right, people?”

However, as Velma tried to unbuckle her seatbelt again, H.A.M pressed a button and recording of an audience laughing played through the speakers. That was when Clark finally pushed the button on Velma's seatbelt and it came off. “If you need anymore buttons pressed,” he whispered, “I’m your man.”

“Ew,” Velma groaned. “And this sort of stuff works for you?”

“Sorry, but we’re still not gonna do an interview,” Zipp said warily. “We don't watch Celebrity Heat, no offense.”

“None taken,” Shutter Snap said with a kind smile. “It’s just our jobs, not our lives.”

“So,” said Clark, “wanna check out the ship?”

“We’re in!” Morpho gestured to him and Ridley before his expression grew stiff again. “Strength in numbers.”

“Oh boy…” Zipp muttered to herself as Morpho, Ridley, Clark and Shutter looked at each other with Velma and Zipp right in the middle. “This is gonna be a LONG day.”

It was but a few seconds later that U-Boat finally stood up from his seat to stretch his legs out, revealing a squished Shaggy and Scooby in the seats next to him. “Like, I think we made a good impression,” Shaggy said before he and Scooby giggled. “Are you guys kidding?” Cloudy raised an eyebrow. “I'm not sure getting squished by your hero is classified as making a good impression.”

“Care for a wet towel, sir?” H.A.M asked U-Boat as he walked by, but U-Boat immediately disregarded him with a bitter stare. “Out of my way, robot.”

And with that, U-Boat had walked out of the cabin, leaving H.A.M to huff, completely appalled. “No peanuts for him.”

“I guess U-Boat’s not really a fan of robots,” Misty muttered to herself before turning back to Cloudy Dash. “You better go after U-Boat, Cloudy. Sunny and I will help Shaggy and Scooby not be so… squished.”

“Oh… thanks. See you girls later,” Cloudy said before galloping off after U-Boat. “Come on, guys,” Shaggy said to his friends from his squished seat. “All this hero talk has made me hungry. Let's go find the snack bar.”

Sunny and Misty immediately began to struggle to get Shaggy and Scooby out of their squished seats, and they thought that this was going to take a very long time when all of a sudden, another aura of magic was able to pull them right out with no problem.

When Sunny, Misty and their friends looked over to see who had helped them, they were surprised to see it was a young kirin, and this kirin had a grayish-blue pelt with light blue carapaces on her back, on her face and on her hooves, a black to dark blue to light blue gradient in her mane and tail, a dark blue horn, sparkly purple eyes and she wore a bright yellow and blue space suit.

Scooby shook himself out before he smiled at the kirin who had helped them. “Thanks for getting us outta there.”

“No problem,” the kirin smiled warmly. “I’m Cassiopeia, but everyone around here calls me Cassie.”

“Hi, Cassie. I’m Misty, and these are some of my friends-- Sunny, Scooby and Shaggy,” Misty introduced. “Are you excited to be onboard the Sly Star One?”

“Oh, yes,” Cassiopeia said warmly. “Even though I’m considered more of the stable kirin around here… and somepony who does a whole lot of work.”

“Really?” Sunny looked confused. “You don’t get to enjoy the ship like everyone else?”

“To be quite honest, I have such a hard time staying focused, I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see the whole ship,” Cassiopeia said softly before clearing her throat. “So… what can I help you all with today?”

“Like, we were kinda wondering where the snack bar was,” Shaggy said. “Yeah,” Scooby nodded eagerly. “We’re hungry.”

“I just passed by there a few minutes ago,” Cassiopeia said before leading her friends out of the cabin. “Just follow me and I’ll show you the way to go.”

From the bridge, a bunch of the others stood together to admire the view, and Fred couldn’t help but gasp as he saw the swirling galaxies a million miles away. “Look at that view!”

“Been there,” Elvin sighed. “Done that,” Steelcase deadpanned, just as Aruna sighed warmly. “I never get tired of it, though.”

“How could you?” Daphne asked, staring up at the sight with wide eyes. “It’s… it’s…”

“Exactly,” Shannon nodded in agreement. “This is a totally worthy picture moment!” Pipp said with a squeal as she took several selfies with the stars in the background. “Totally going on my feed first thing when we get back to Earth.”

“So,” said Izzy, “what are we gonna do next?”

“Well, for me, my cousin and the boys here,” Tidal said, gesturing to Starshine, Elvin and Steelcase while holding up a clipboard, “we have our safety check.”

Steelcase nodded in agreement. “We gotta make sure this billion dollar yacht stays in one piece.”

“Sounds important. I’m in!” Fred exclaimed before he ran off, leaving Hitch to sigh. “I think we better go after him,” the earth pony stallion said to Izzy, Pipp and Sparky before turning to Tidal and Starshine. “Mind if we come with you?”

“Sure!” Starshine smiled. “We’d love some extra hooves helping us out. Come on.”

But as she watched her friends leave with Elvin and Steelcase, Daphne turned to Aruna and Shannon. “Aren't you going with them?”

“I have to run diagnostics on the navigation system first, and I’ll need Aruna’s help for it,” Shannon explained. “But you go ahead,” Aruna told Daphne with a smile. “We’ll catch up with you.”

Daphne then began to walk over to the door, but before she could leave the bridge, she stopped and turned back to her fellow red-head. “Shannon… I wanted to thank you for… making me feel like I belong up here.”

“You do!” Shannon turned around with a chuckle. “Space needs a lot more Daphnes. I'm just speeding up the process a bit, girlfriend.”

“Okay… thanks, girlfriend,” Daphne chuckled a bit herself before leaving. And once she had left, Aruna got out her magic mirror and whispered a message into it. “Alterro… the plan is going perfectly. And within just a day or so, that map piece will be yours.”

At the same time that most of our heroes were leaving the bridge, Cassiopeia was leading Shaggy, Misty, Scooby and Sunny through the ship to find the snack bar, but as they were walking, Shaggy could have sworn he saw some sort of shadow outside of the window before it jumped out of sight.

After blinking for a moment, Shaggy turned back to the window before turning to the others. “Like, you see something funny in the window, guys?”

“Funny?” Misty shook her head. “I don’t think so.”

“Come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing anything either,” Sunny said unsurely, causing Shaggy to internally sigh in relief. “Me neither.”

“Phew. Must be our imagination,” Scooby said, wiping his helmet with his paw. But then a few seconds later, Shaggy remembered something he had seen on TV once that sort of resembled the situation they were in. “Like, l once saw a show about a guy that saw gremlins an the outside of his plane.”

“Seriously?” Cassiopeia stared at him with wide eyes. “What happened?”

“I turned off the TV,” Shaggy said, smiling rather casually. “Good idea,” Scooby nodded. “Come on, guys,” Cassiopeia pointed forward. “The snack bar isn’t that far from here.”

And so, the group made their way forward once again, unaware that the same shadow Shaggy saw was roaming around on the rooftops above.

At the same time, Velma, Clark Sparkman, Ridley, Zipp, Morpho and Shutter Snap were walking around the ship to get a feel for the place when all of a sudden, some loud noises were heard outside the window.

Morpho looked up, a tad startled by the loud noises. “What was that?”

“Probably just space junk,” Clark blew off as they continued walking. “Since the space age began, we've dumped millions of pieces of trash into orbit same weigh more than 5000 tons.”

“How do you know all that?” Velma asked curiously, walking beside Clark while Shutter Snap walked beside Zipp. “Clark and I actually visited NASA last month,” Shutter Snap said with a casual smile. “For… you know… research.”

“Research?” Velma questioned. “You work for Celebrity Heat!”

“Just because they work on a show all about celebrity gossip doesn’t mean that’s all they have to focus on, Velma,” Zipp told her friend. “I actually think it’s pretty cool you know so much about space and the junk in it.”

“Really?” Shutter Snap said, gaining a proud smile. “Thanks, Zipp… that means a lot coming from you.”

“Space junk…” Ridley scoffed. “That's exactly what the aliens want us to think.”

“Or,” Velma rolled her eyes, “it’s really just space junk.”

That was when Morpho and Ridley got in front of the group, with Morpho’s horns lowered to keep them from moving. “I know what you’re thinking,” Ridley assumed. “Ridley-- she's just some whacked-nut alien freak who's seen one too many sci-fi movies.”

“...to be fair, yes,” Zipp deadpanned. “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

“Me too,” Clark nodded. “We’re telling you, guys,” Morpho told them warily. “We are NOT alone.”

However, this one sentence caused Velma to laugh, finding amusement in their beliefs. “We are not alone. Ohhh… heh heh heh heh!”

However, Zipp, Shutter Snap and Clark remained silent as Velma stopped her laughing. “But I've dedicated my life to alien combat training for one simple reason…” Ridley said before she demonstrated some karate moves which greatly confused the others. But despite not knowing what the heck she was doing, Shutter Snap still tried her best to guess. “Uh… break dancing?”

“...combat training,” Morpho said, looking the camera-pony in the eye. “They’re out there… my horns can sense it.”

“And how do you know that?” Clark asked. “Do you have any first hand experience?”

“Yeah,” Zipp nodded. “Have you ever actually SEEN an alien?”

“Have I ever seen an alien? Have I ever seen an alien? Have I ever seen an alien? Ha,” Ridley scoffed before her face eventually fell. “No… I haven’t.”

“Neither of I, but we have some serious video evidence,” Morpho said, taking out his tablet from under his wing and turning it onto a video he recorded. “We've been in contact with aliens for decades.”

However, Velma raised an eyebrow when she saw what the video was really about. “Uh… that’s a kitten.”

“Huh?!” Morpho looked at the video before blushing and chuckling nervously. “Oops! Sorry, that’s not it. These dumb, bulky hooves.”

Luckily, Ridley was able to switch it to the right video, showing it to the others. “Here. Look.”

“Did you see it?” said a man from up on some sort of space station. “It was right there!”

There was a brief shadow on the screen before the whole feed went out, causing the others to look at Morpho and Ridley, not entirely convinced. “Come on, don’t look at us like that,” Morpho said, trying to be friendly about this. “This video is just the tip of the iceberg!”

“There's more footage. Lots more. And we’ll show it to you,” Ridley added on. “Wait here!”

And with that, she ran off and Morpho unfurled his wings to follow behind. And once they had disappeared around the corner, Zipp let out a sigh of relief. “And that’s our cue to hide.”

“Way ahead of you,” Velma told Zipp before the four walked off to get as far away from Ridley and Morpho as they could.

“Here we are, you guys!” Cassiopeia gestured to the vending machines locked behind a steel cage. “The snack bar is closed right now, but I’m sure it’ll be open soon.”

“Thanks for helping us find it, Cassie,” Sunny said kindly. “We really appreciate this.”

“Yeah,” Misty nodded. “Do you wanna join us and get the boys some food?”

“Oh… I-I wish I could,” said Cassiopeia gently, “but… I should really get back to work. It was nice to meet all of you, though.”

And with that, the young kirin galloped away, causing Sunny to hum in thought. “She sure seems nice, but… she doesn’t wanna seem to get away from her duties.”

“Yeah…” Misty nodded with the same kind smile on her face. “Maybe we can help her with that.”

However, Shaggy and Scooby had their attention on what was inside the vending machines, and Shaggy was the first to speak up with excitement. “Like, dudes, they have U-Boat Bites!”

“And U-Boat Nachoverboards,” Scooby nodded before trying to pull on the steel cage that the vending machines were behind. “Come on, open up. We're having a snack attack!”

“Do you know what my favorite snack is?”

Sunny and Misty stiffened as H.A.M walked out of the darkness, and the four glanced at each other, wondering what he was going to say next. “I don't have one because I cannot digest food. Am I right, people?”

And then, once he saw that the four weren't laughing like they thought, H.A.M pressed a button to play the laugh track again... just before Scooby spoke up. “I don’t get it.”

H.A.M immediately frowned at this. “Are you challenging me, canine life form?”

“Uh… no!” Scooby shook his head. “I... l, uh…”

“I'm kidding. Ha, ha. I'm a robot. Uh-huh. I'd destroy you with one blow,” H.A.M said, trying to sound as if he was kidding. “Ha. Am I right, people?”

That was when he played the laugh track one final time before H.A.M immediately backed away into the darkness. And once he was gone, Misty let out a shudder of fright as she turned to her friends. “That comedy robot has a dark side.”

“Like, that is not uncommon,” Shaggy told her wisely. “Humor is often inspired by the same darkness from which it endeavors to provide an escape.”

“...huh?!” Scooby, Misty and Sunny looked at Shaggy in surprise, just as Shaggy realized what he just said. “Wow. I'm so hungry, my brain ain't working right.”

Suddenly, a rumbling came from somewhere down the hall, frightening Shaggy and Scooby and causing them to tremble, while Misty and Sunny stood guard.

Whatever it was, it was getting closer.

And if it was anything dangerous, like Alterro, Sunny and Misty weren’t going to make this easy for them.

XXXXXXXX

“Seriously?” Zipp was wide eyed at what Shutter Snap told her. “You got your cutie mark for filming your fillyhood play?”

“Yeah, it was pretty epic,” Shutter Snap said. “Back then I was too shy to be in the actual play, so I offered to tape it for all the people who wanted to see the play but were stuck at home. Once I did that and took some pictures of the cast, that’s when my cutie mark appeared. Just imagine... if there really was an alien, I could take a picture of it and all of us would be really famous!”

“But then again,” Clark said, looking at Velma, “I guess an alien wouldn't shock you. You've seen all kinds of weird stuff.”

“You’ve researched us?” Velma asked Clark in confusion. “Why? You're here to do a piece on the baron.”

“I'm not sure he's the most interesting person unboard,” Clark said with the click of his tongue. “Know what I mean?”

And with that, he walked off, leaving Zipp, Shutter and Velma to share the same opinion of what just happened. “...ew…”

XXXXXXXX

“Stay on guard, Misty,” Sunny said as the footsteps seemed to get closer and closer. “Whatever is coming this way, it’s right in front of us!”

“Oh, I’m on guard,” Misty trembled, but tried to stand guard for her friends' sake, “but… it’s hard to be fearless when you don’t know what exactly you’re facing!”

But then, it was revealed that it was only U-Boat and Cloudy Dash coming toward them from the darkness, and Shaggy, Scooby and their friends visibly relaxed. “Oh, Cloudy! Mr. U-Boat! For a second there, I was getting worried!”

“Oh… hey, guys,” Cloudy greeted awkwardly. “U-Boat and I were in the middle of our workout when we saw you guys down here.”

“Like, dude! I can’t believe it’s you. We’re huge fans,” Shaggy told U-Boat with an excited grin. “You're like the best player on the field every Sunday and Monday. And Thursday and some Saturdays.”

“You’re the best off the field too,” Scooby added. “We love U-Boat Bites.”

“Quite frankly,” said Misty, “the boys would be having some right now. Well… if the snack bar was open.”

After a moment of glancing at the four, U-Boat walked over to the metal bars surrounding the vending machines and lifted the bars up with his hands, smashing into the vending machines, making their lights come on and all their food to pour out all over the floor.

And after this was done, U-Boat walked off without another word, leaving the five others alone. “Space is delicious!” Scooby said hungrily, licking his chops. “Wow, Cloudy. I knew U-Boat was strong and everything,” said Misty, “but… I didn’t expect him to be so… so…”

“Quiet? Yeah, he’s like that sometimes,” Cloudy shrugged before turning to the food pile on the floor. “I’ll help you clean all this up before I have to catch up to U-Boat. I’ve got some cheerleading routines that I can’t mess up.”

XXXXXXXX

At the same time, no one was aware that the alien that was in Ridley and Morpho’s video was roaming around outside the ship, grabbing a door on the side of the ship and tossing it away before reaching into the vent and pulling out some wires, creating a small explosion.

XXXXXXXX

And from the control room, where Daphne, Fred, Sparky, Hitch, Izzy and Pipp were helping Elvin, Tidal Wave, Steelcase and Starshine tide with their safety check, the explosion could be heard…

…and Daphne was the first to speak up about it. “Whoa. Did you hear that?”

“Thermal contraction caused by temperature differential,” Elvin reassured her. “It's normal.”

“Yeah,” Fred nodded, trying to be just like his astronaut idols. “It’s normal, Daph.”

“It didn’t sound all that normal to me…” Izzy said nervously. “I-It sounded like something outside.”

“Something outside?” Steelcase set down the equipment he was checking. “You mean, in the vacuum of space? Like what?”

“Yeah. Like what?” Fred crossed his arms with a smile. “In the vacuum of space?”

“You think there’s an alien out there?” Steelcase asked with a teasing smile. “A creature with an oversized head and big, black eyes?”

“Hold the phone,” Hitch paused, wide-eyed. “You’ve seen it?”

“No,” Steelcase dismissed. “Because it doesn't exist.”

“I hate to admit it, but Steelcase has a point, Hitch,” Starshine admitted. “If aliens exist, they never introduced themselves to us. And Steelcase and Elvin have spent a lot of time in their neighborhood.”

“It’s just not as likely as people think it is,” Tidal shrugged. “I mean, I know Equestrian creatures living amongst humans is pretty unlikely in itself, but… you know what I mean.”

“Not that it matters,” Steelcase added. “Space is dangerous enough without little green men.”

“Maybe they were cloaked from human sight. I saw a movie where the aliens did that,” Daphne said, pulling out her phone and walking over. “Here, I'll show you a clip.”

“No, that’s okay,” Tidal declined politely. “Besides,” Steelcase said, “you kids watch so much junk on screens, you think it's real. When I was your age, we watched less and lived more.”

“Makes sense. There was a lot less stuff to watch when you were our age,” Fred chuckled, making Steelcase and Elvin glare at him in response. “I mean... well, of course there was... oh, you…”

That was when Steelcase pushed a button on Fred's chest and it muted his voice but Fred kept on talking without even realizing he had been muted. “Colt, let's get out of here,” Elvin told his partner, and they walked away, leaving Sparky to coo sadly. “I know you want Fred to impress them, Sparkeroni,” Hitch said gently. “But I think Fred might be trying too hard.”

Daphne nodded at this and pressed the button to unmute Fred after he noticed Steelcase and Elvin's departure. “Uh, maybe you should just give them some space, Fred.”

Suddenly, Pipp and Daphne burst out laughing when they realized what Daphne had said. “Get it? Space!” Pipp said as she stomped the ground with her hoof. “That’s so funny…”

However, while the others managed to crack a small giggle, Fred remained completely clueless. “I don’t get it.”

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the storage bay, and Elvin and Steelcase ran past the group, with Steelcase glaring at Fred as he ran past. “What did you touch, hot-shot?”

“He didn’t touch anything!” Izzy blurt out. “And neither did we!”

“Come on,” Starshine beckoned as she and her cousin ran after Elvin and Steelcase. “Let's go see what all this fuss is about.”

“He called me a hot-shot!” Fred chirped before he and the others ran after the two astronauts and hippogriffs and into the main part of the ship again.

XXXXXXXX

At the same time, from his private suite, Sly Baron heard the alarm go off and turned on the intercom to reassure the passengers. “Nothing to worry about, folks. We're just working out some first flight bugs,” he said before turning back to H.A.M, who was painting his portrait. “Uh, be sure to capture my perfect physique and spirit, hmm?”

XXXXXXXX

“I’ve said it a thousand times,” said Steelcase as his and Elvin’s group ran down the corridor, “civilians do not belong in space!”

“You’re right, Colt,” Elvin agreed. “You've said it a thousand times. At least.”

Suddenly, Sunny, Misty, Scooby and Shaggy, along with Cloudy Dash and Cassiopeia ran right into the hippogriff cousins, Elvin and Steelcase, knocking them over to the ground in a heap. “Sunny!” Izzy gasped. “Misty!

“Are you okay?” Hitch asked, helping Misty and Sunny up. “Yeah, we’re fine,” Sunny nodded, “but we heard the alarm and came running!”

“Man! Ho-ho!” Shaggy wailed. “We’re doomed!!”

“How do we get off this thing?!” Scooby yelped. “Come on! Let’s get to the bridge!” Cassiopeia said out of worry once she and the others got to their feet again. “Maybe the others can tell me what’s going on!”

XXXXXXXX

Everyone immediately ran out onto the bridge, where they reunited with the rest of the crew, seemingly concerned. “We got here as soon as we could,” Sunny said. “What’s going on?”

“It’s the air supply!” Shannon explained, watching from a camera as oxygen began to leak out of the ship. “We're venting oxygen!”

“But the only way that could have happened,” said Zipp, “is if something damaged the external tanks!”

Cassiopeia then tapped on Shaggy’s leg. “Do you think this has something to do with that creepy alien we saw?”

This one remark caused everyone on the bridge to look at Shaggy, Scooby, Cassiopeia, Sunny and Misty in complete surprise. “We saw an alien outside. Or we didn't,” Scooby tried to explain. “I like we didn’t better.”

“Did it have black, hollow eyes and slimy-lacking skin?” Ridley asked, surprising Shaggy slightly. “Like, yeah. Ha ha.”

“Hold on,” Sunny raised a hoof and an eyebrow out of confusion. “How on Earth could you know that?”

“Well… you might wanna see this,” Morpho said, pressing a button on the control panel, causing footage of said alien outside the ship to appear and causing everyone to stare in shock. “Jinkies…” Velma muttered just before the alien leapt at the camera, disconnecting the feed and letting some of the ponies shriek.

But not long after this, the entire bridge began to shake, causing Shutter Snap to glance around in terror. “This may just be me, but that doesn’t sound good!”

“It’s not good,” Aruna said in concern. “We’re nearly out of oxygen!”

That was when Steelcase, Tidal, Elvin and Starshine began to go around and press buttons to try and keep the oxygen inside the ship. “How long do we have?” Steelcase asked. “Hours?”

“More like minutes!” Elvin answered. “Minutes?!” Shaggy and Scooby began to hyperventalate into paper bags they had in their space suits. “Guys, guys! Just calm down!” Misty tried to comfort the boys. “This isn’t the time to panic!”

“Misty’s right,” Hitch nodded firmly. “We need to find air, and fast!”

“There's a lot of air an Earth,” Shaggy spoke up after a moment, which caused Scooby to nod. “And, like, no aliens.”

“I know this isn’t exactly what anyone wants to hear right now,” said Tidal, “but I don’t think we’re gonna make it back to Earth in time!”

“Not gonna make it?!” Daphne looked horrified at this. “But there's nowhere else to go.”

Suddenly, the doors to the bridge opened, and Sly Baron stepped out through the doors where everyone could see him. “That's not entirely true. There is one place.”

But after a moment of everyone staring at him, Sly turned toward Shutter Snap and Clark. “Ahem. Shouldn't you be filming me being dramatic?”

“Oh, right,” Clark said, taking the camera from a nervous Shutter and holding it up to Sly just as he began to repeat himself. “That's not entirely true. There is one place.”

But as the ship was flying through the vastness reaches of outer space, and as it was slowly losing the oxygen that it so desperately needed, the Mane 6 and their friends, both old and new, just couldn't help but wonder where this 'one place' was...

...and how this alien situation, among a few other small details, would affect the rest of their voyage.
