It took a lot longer than expected, the sun was starting to rise and everyone had fallen asleep, waiting for their rescue. Where was their rescue, did they get lost?

Cherry slept soundly, but twitched as a volleyball hit her, making her jolt awake. "Huh...?"

"What happened to the Coast Guard?" Shaggy mumbled, slowly waking up, then took a look at the Spooky Hotel. "What happened to the shattered windows and busted walls?"

"Something is very wrong here..." Tim commented.

"Yo, Red!" a blonde in pigtails called, walking on the beach. "Ball!"

"Huh?" Cherry saw the volleyball, she then tossed it up and spiked it back to the girl.

The girl took the ball and walked off to continue her game.

"What happened to the rescue?" Atticus asked.

"Let's go." Daphne told the others.

The group left and they heard some pop music playing, maybe someone they knew would be there, or better yet, some help.

"Okay, we need to split up." Atticus said.

"Why?" Shaggy and Scooby asked.

"Guys, we still need to find Fred and Velma." Cherry reminded them.

"I'll go this way." Daphne gestured.

"And we'll go with you." Shaggy said quickly.

"Guys, Daphne can take care of herself now, she doesn't need protection." Cherry said, walking with Tim and Mary Jane already.

Shaggy followed after them. Scooby wanted to go with Daphne, but she made him go with the others.

"I'll go with Shaggy and Scooby." Atticus said.

Shaggy sniffed around and had a familiar scent. "Red?"

Fred was talking with some people no one had seen him with before and he was even using some profanity while using modern slang in order to fit in with the college kids.

"Fred?" Atticus asked.

"Fred?" Shaggy rushed over.

"What up, dog and... Dog?" Fred greeted the ones beside him, he seemed to not recognize them at all.

"Reepin' it real." Scooby said, trying to sound hip.

"Fred, do you remember what happened last night?" Atticus asked.

"Man, we got beats like it was the lizz-bizz on Earth!" Fred exclaimed. "Ya know what I'm sayin', G?"

Shaggy nodded, but looked confused. "No..."

Suddenly a crash was heard.

"What was that?" Atticus asked.

Fred slowly removed his sunglasses. A bunch of other people came beside him and they all snarled like possessed monsters, revealing heinous breath. Scooby let out a scream and started to run with Shaggy.

"Get the dog and little guy." Fred commanded before they all went off.

Atticus then punched Fred in the stomach, knowing that he must have been under the same spell that's been going around and then joins Shaggy and Scooby. Fred barely reacted from the punch, but he could still run with his new crew. Shaggy, Scooby, and Atticus ran into a bike shack. They shut the doors, but they knew it wouldn't hold of Fred and his goons for long. Fred was even trying to strangle Shaggy in the process.

"Rhy is Red in a rad rood?" Scooby asked.

"He's not in a bad mood, Scoob!" Shaggy cried. "He's a monster!"

One guy burst with his guitar and about three guys jumped onto the roof top.

"Look guys, bikes!" Atticus said, seeing three four-wheelers under a blanket.

"Atticus..." Shaggy looked amazed.

Fred and his gang were shocked once Scooby, Shaggy, and Atticus burst out with the Spooky Island bikes. They rode away in victory, but had to stop once they saw Cherry, Tim, and Mary Jane come up.

"I just saw my friend Beth Ann!" Mary Jane sounded urgent. "There's something wrong with her eyes!"

"Like, hop on!" Shaggy told her.

"Yeah and quickly!" Atticus added.

Mary Jane hopped behind Shaggy, Cherry came behind Scooby, and Tim behind Atticus, and they stormed off to avoid Fred and the others. The others seemed like savages when they tried to jump and capture everyone. One grabbed onto Shaggy, but he was swept away in the process. Scooby howled in victory. There was one part to duck, but the passengers missed it, and Tim and Mary Jane had glowing green eyes, and Atticus and Scooby saw that, however, they fixed themselves to appear human.

"Scooby, did you just see that?" Atticus asked the Great Dane.

"Ruh-huh..." Scooby whimpered as they kept driving.

The boys ended up in a town circle and they all hugged each other. Except for Scooby and Atticus, they weren't celebrating right now. Scooby was barking at Mary Jane and Tim to make them go away from Shaggy and Cherry.

"Get away from us, you fakers!" Atticus glared at Mary Jane and Tim.

"Guys, cut it out!" Cherry scolded.

"Yeah, what's up with you guys?" Shaggy added.

"Rary Rane and Rim are a ran in a rask!" Scooby exploded.

"Mary Jane and Tim are a man in a mask?" Shaggy glanced at the dog.

"Scooby..." Mary Jane and Tim rolled their eyes.

Scooby barked at them again.

"What's gotten into you guys?" Cherry glanced at her friends.

"But it's true, when the tree branch hit both of them, we saw glowing green eyes!" Atticus said.

"Raggy, you're ripped!" Scooby told his friend.

"I'm whipped!?" Shaggy snapped.

This caused for the two of them to have an argument.

"I can't believe it..." Cherry said to Atticus. "You're jealous!"

"What?! Jealous?! Oh, please, what do I have to be jealous about!?" Atticus snapped. "I mean seriously, I have a girlfriend back home!"

Cherry snorted, shoving him aside, not caring how strong he was. "Atticus, just get out of here... I bet Mo never even loved you!" she knew that was kind of mean, but she was too angry to care right now.

"Oh and what about you, Miss Gothy? You've been single for, how long now, oh, yeah, for maybe 300 years!" Atticus snapped once again. "And besides, what do you know about falling in love, you've never actually been in love!!"

"You take that back!" Cherry hissed at him.

"No, besides, it's true and also, you're a vampire!" Atticus glared.

"GET OUT OF HERE, ATTICUS!" Cherry sounded very angry with him.

Suddenly, Atticus and Scooby fell through a hole in the middle of the ground, sucking them up.

"Oh, no..." Cherry sounded worried.

Shaggy looked too, very worried. "Scoob!" he then looked to the siblings. "You guys stay here, we gotta save them, we'll be right back!"

"No, guys!" Mary Jane said, sounding like a man suddenly.

Cherry and Shaggy looked back at her.

"We mean, it's too dangerous." Tim then said.

"We gotta do it," Shaggy sounded determined. "They're our best friends and friends don't quit!"

Cherry and Shaggy then jumped in the hole to find their friends and hopefully make up for the fight they all just with each other.

But what they found at the bottom, wasn't Atticus or Scooby. Shaggy and Cherry got up after their rough landing.

"Like, where do you think they went?" Shaggy asked.

"I'm not sure..." Cherry gasped. "But do you see what I see?' she asked, pointing to the distance of the cavern.

"Like, y-yeah." Shaggy said, scared.

"Shaggy... Cherry..." a distant voice was heard. "Shaggy... Cherry...!!"

The two went over as they heard their names called and saw a ghostly pool with disembodied heads that looked pale. What were those things?

Cherry took out what looked like Velma without her glasses. "Shag, I found your girlfriend..." she teased.

"Oh, thanks, Cherry..." Velma said as she slightly bounced in Cherry's hand. "Boy am I glad to see you guys... Now let me go so I can return to my body. Now get out of here before they steal your protoplasm too."

Both of them nodded, agreeing to get out before they got caught. Cherry let Velma go.

"I always knew you were a hero, Cherry!" Velma called before she made her escape.

Shaggy reached in next to see of who he would get.

"I think Velma likes you..." Cherry said as they searched for familiar protoplasm heads.

"Like, ya think so?" Shaggy asked, before he caught Fred's protoplasm head.

"Yeah..." Cherry smirked, she had always secretly wanted to see Shaggy and Velma together, but it never got to happen quite yet, though little did she know, Shaggy actually had a crush on Velma when they were in junior high school.

Shaggy then brought out Fred's protoplasm head.

"Someone must've spiked my root beer last night," Fred got hysterical. "Talk me down, man, TALK ME DOWN!"

"Fred, you're a friggin' protoplasmic head!" Shaggy replied.

"I know, but I'm still the best-looking protoplasmic head here..." Fred smirked.

Shaggy then let him go, a little lazier than Cherry did with Velma's. Now they had to find Daphne. Maybe Atticus and Scooby were in there too.

Cherry reached out for a head neither of them recognized.

"Thank you so much, you've saved me!" the head sounded grateful.

"Buzz off, we're looking for our friends!" Cherry said, then put him back before finding Daphne's. She reached in again to search for Daphne's protoplasm head.

"Put me back, Cherry!" Daphne snapped to the younger girl. "I'll figure a way out myself!"

"Pray tell me how..." Cherry deadpanned, narrowing her eyes at the former sweet girl of Mystery Inc.

"I don't know, I'll uh... I'll use my tongue as an our and swim out to the edge." Daphne said.

"Yeah... I like you before you learned martial arts." Cherry rolled her eyes. She then flicked Daphne's protoplasmic head off.

Daphne yelped and tried to come back, but she was forced to return to her body.

"Like, really, Cherry?" Shaggy asked, unamused.

"Yes..." Cherry nodded. "I think that's all of them..."

"I think you're right..." Shaggy said, he then looked ahead and he saw the Daemon Ritus pyramid behind the pool.

"Like, how did that get here?" Shaggy asked.

Cherry went to get it. "It might be important to this mystery... I just wonder where Scooby and Atticus are..."

"We'll find them when we can..." Shaggy went to her. "We should find Fred, Velma, and Daphne to see if they're back to normal."

Cherry nodded, going out with him out back into the Spooky Island forest. But what they were going to see was going to be very surprising and very strangely odd. Shaggy and Cherry finally found their friends, but no Atticus or Scooby.

"Please tell us you guys are you..." Shaggy said nervously.

"Fred keeps touching me!" Fred said in Daphne's voice.

"Uhh..." Cherry looked wide-eyed.

"Like, yeah, that's how I am right now too." Shaggy said.

"The Daemon Ritus." Velma observed the pyramid, knowing more about it than any of them.

"We stole it, I hope it helps." Cherry said as Shaggy set it down.

Suddenly, all of their protoplasm left their bodies and started to switch around at random. Each of their protoplasm heads went to their bodies, hoping to be back into their own bodies.

"Hey, I'm me again." Daphne said out of victory.

"Yippee for you..." Fred muttered with Velma's voice.

"Why do I want cheeseburgers dipped in chocolate now?" Cherry asked as she was in Shaggy's body.

"Man, like am I wearing a dress?" Velma asked with Shaggy's voice.

"Everyone remain calm!" Fred said. "Velma, what the heck's going on!?"

"If my calculations are correct, due to the instability of protoplasm in the proximity of the Daemon Ritus, we're going to continue randomly changing bodies until..." Velma started to explain in Cherry's body, before they all switched again.

Their protoplasm heads flew and into different bodies hoping they were back in their original bodies.

"Until the protoplasm realigns with the correct bodies." Velma concluded, now as Shaggy.

"Now I'm Fred..." Cherry mumbled.

"Aw, Daph, what's wrong with you?" Shaggy moaned as he rubbed his new stomach. "Don't you ever eat?"

Finally, the protoplasm left their bodies, and they were all now back to normal, much to their relief.

"Told ya so." Velma smirked.

Suddenly, an explosion was heard.

"Come on, guys!" Cherry called before they went to see what that was all about.

They all began to make their way to the explosion, Shaggy brought the Daemon Ritus with them.

"I guess that was the wrong ingredient..." the voodoo man said to himself as he was making a small fire.

"Wait," Daphne stopped everyone behind her. "I know how to handle this guy..." she then walked over, looking casual. "Hey you! What're you doing here?"

"Yeah, that's masterful." Velma deadpanned.

Fred and Shaggy didn't know how that was masterful.

"Sarcasm is a foreign language to you guys, isn't it?" Cherry glanced to Fred and Shaggy.

"I'm doing a voodoo ritual," the man glanced to Daphne, remembering her. "I need to get the right ingredients. The only way to protect myself is by blessing this dead Arnouki beast. They're about to perform their evil Darkopalypse ritual." He showed a creepy skeleton like creature to all five of them.

Daphne cringed slightly.

"Darkopolypse ritual?" the group asked.

"Right." the voodoo man nodded.

"That's what the ancient text describes," Cherry said as she observed the Daemon ritus, freaking out the voodoo man. "They use the protoplasm in the vat as an energy source. And the leader needs to absorb two purely good souls to complete the ritual. Legend has it, once the ritual is performed the creatures will rule on Earth for 10,000 years."

"That's why I have this in my house," the voodoo man explained. "To protect myself."

"You have another one of those?" Shaggy asked sheepishly.

"Those creatures are taking over the world?" Daphne frowned. "That is so mean!"

"They can't do the ritual without pure human souls," Velma reminded. "Where will they get them?"

"I didn't say they were both human..." the voodoo man replied.

Shaggy's eyes widened. "Oh, boy..."
