[Scooby-Doo coughing]

- Like, how you - feeling, pal?

[gasping]

Never better.

[sneezing]

Great, I was worried

- we'd have - to leave you behind.

- Fred! - What?

The Mystery Solver

State Finals is tomorrow.

- Every team - mystery solving group

from around

the country will be there.

- You mean there's more - than one of us?

It's being held

right here in Crystal Cove.

Whoever wins will be declared

the best mystery solving team

- and go on to compete - in the Olympics!

Olympics? I don't

think that's right.

Well, I'm sure the prize

will be something big and Greek.

I'm sorry, Fred,

but we can't go to the finals

with Scooby sick like this.

Oh, right.

No. O-of course not.

- Will you excuse me - a second?

(Fred)

No!

- [sobbing] - Why?

Why, why?

Don't worry, Scoob.

I got just what you need.

Chicken soup.

Here.

Huh? Wha-choo!

[clattering]

Sorry. Maybe..

- You guys should - go without me.

[sneezing]

No, you're part

of the team, Scooby.

What good are we

without our sidekick?

Sidekick?

Velma! What she means is...

I know what she means.

Ah, come on, gang.

- Let's let him - get some sleep.

Hmm.

Sidekick.

Is that all I am?

Ooh-oh.

Hmm, ah.

Wahh-uhh-oh!

I didn't sneeze!

Normal.

(woman on PA)

attention.'

'Attention, everyone,

- 'If you could - all take your seats.'

[tire screeching]

I want to welcome you all

to the competition.

- I'll be honest, mystery solving - is not really

a priority for me or anyone else

in Crystal Cove.

But the school district

made a healthy contribution

to put on this event,

so Mayor Jones

- encouraged me - to take their money.

Go, dad!

The mayor's my dad.

You guys might

as well give up right now.

Also, after the dinner

we'll be having

a mixer DJed

by Kghoul's Angel Dynamite.

Word, mystery solvers.

Angel Dynamite's gonna be

spinning some mad licorice

so watch out! Hey now!

Ugh. But before

we begin all this joy

I'm sure you'd like to find out

what we've all come here for.

[shuffling papers]

"Tonight's mystery is.."

You're doomed!

I'm Lord Infernicus,

and there's been

a little change in plans!

Ah. Ha ha!

[laughing]

[gasping]

Hey, where is everyone?

- Raggy?

- Boo?

Rugga Bugga?

[sputtering]

Puh puh puh.

Your friends are hidden

somewhere in this building.

All communication with

the outside world is cut off.

If you try to leave

or call for help

you'll never see them again.

You have until sunrise

to find them.

Good luck.

Ooh! My heart is racing.

I can't-I can't breathe!

I'm going down.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Ooh, he's

hy-hy-hyperventilating,

Oh, me help

Thanks. Oh, boy,

Ha ha ha.

Dead. Flame face wasn't lyin'.

Somethin' is

jamming the phones.

Principal Quinlan, is there any

other way to get a message out?

Principal Quinlan?

[groaning]

[sputtering]

Principal!

Leave me alone.

Let me hide in peace!

Communications are jammed.

'We need to unjam 'em, now!'

Well, there is a communication

tower over the gym.

Infernicus warned us!

No communication

with the outside world.

Yeah!

Scooby, little help here?

Uh, Angel's right.

We need help.

Teach, lead the way.

- Dune Buggy, since - we're in a hurry

- how about you - give us a ride?

[sputtering]

[tire screeching]

Wait! W-what do we do?

You're a dog, dawg.

Sniff out some clues.

Ain't that what

[tire screeching]

Mystery solvers? Us?

Captain Caveman!

doink doink

Ah!

thud

[chuckles]

[sniffing]

What's that?

Wood shavings? A clue.

Oh, that could be

anything, anything!

Leftovers from some

beaver making a nest

or a whittler carving

some nesting dolls, even.

Huh?

Heavens to Delaware

don't forget

the Funky Phantom.

[instrumental music]

Whoa!

- It is so against - school policy

- to have a Dune Buggy - on the roof.

Kids are in danger, you dig?

You know, you're

very robust for a woman.

- You're like those - female wrestlers on TV

except not so veiny.

Is that it?

Yes, that's the school's

communication tower.

My predecessor

Principal Scrim installed it

- in the hopes - of getting free cable.

[sputtering]

Yeah.

[sputtering]

[Scooby sniffing]

In here.

[groaning]

thud

Hold on to my horses!

This mystery just

got hairier, don't you know?

Infernicus turned

our friends into guinea pigs.

[sobbing]

Shaggy?

Can you hear me?

Drop one plant for yes,

and two for no.

Would you do it

for a Scooby snack?

That is not Shaggy,

no way, uh-uh.

What are you sayin'?

Of course it is.

Let's face facts, huh?

Our friends are gone.

Possibly never

coming back, even.

Teenagers no more

coming Harry?

And watch gave

the incentive bath?

And pig fleas out

of cavey-hair?

Who me not like

me get primal

urge to smash!

Enough, enough already.

Someone needs to take charge

of this mystery, don't you know?

And obviously, you're

not the dog to do it. Snap.

Yeah? Well, who died

and put you in charge?

Ooh, heh, sorry.

Where are you going?

- To the library - to find a way

to change them back.

Post hasty pudding.

doink

Who to follow?

- Dog or fappish ghost?

- How should I know?

- I'm just a shark - from the future.

Na-na-na.

- Don't you think - we found them a little easy?

And why guinea pigs?

Give it up, Scooby-Doo.

- I'm a ghost - from the revolution.

You're a dog, hello.

Little more street cred here.

Come back.

We're missing something!

boom

[laughing]

In-in-infernicus!

- (Infernicus) - 'That's Lord Infernicus!'

Get it right, sidekick!

[screaming]

[laughing]

We're trapped!

Time is running out, sidekicks!

Of course, you could

always give up.

[laughing]

Flaming man gone.

And so is woo-woo-woo,

the Funky Phantom.

- What do we do now, - Scooby-Doo?

Only thing we can do.

Solve this mystery

before it's too late.

Oh, this is horrible.

My nerves can't take any more.

[stammering]

Me fix this.

Thanks, I needed that.

Hmm.

Look at this.

- Hmm, what's it say? - What's it say?

Me no be able

to read modern ink symbols.

Modern ink symbols

I can read.

I help Shaggy

with his homework sometimes.

Something

about a ship

leaving from

Crystal Cove docks.

That's outside the school.

We can't leave.

We need to find

Angel and the others.

Lead the way, Scooby-Doo.

[sputtering]

Box.

Hey now, baby.

That shouldn't be there.

Wh-what is it?

Scrambler.

Try your cell phone now, teach.

[grunting]

Not for long.

You were warned.

No communication

until the mystery is solved.

Now, you will pay the price.

[dramatic music]

Ooh, baby.

That must have been some party.

Teach?

- Oh, thank goodness - Speed Buggy

- was there - to help me out.

I owe that

Dune Buggy my life.

Wait, where is..

- (together) - Speed Buggy!

- He's too heavy - to lift out of there.

- There's an emergency - valve on the wall.

[grunting]

[whirring]

He's not breathing!

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

Oh, we're losing him!

No way, sister.

- This dune buggy - ain't gonna die

on Angel Dynamite's

watch. You know CPR?

There's no mouth.

Just blow, woman. Blow!

[blowing]

Sputty.

Aaah!

[coughing]

[laughing]

Oh, power plugs.

I did it. I gave him, life!

For the first time,

I feel so alive!

- Oh, we have - to drown something

- so I can bring it - back to life again.

No time.

Communications are back up.

- You still got - that cell phone?

- We need to call - the sheriff.

Oh.

- Don't worry, - I've confiscated

- a ton of these - over the years.

We have to get to my office.

[whistles]

[sputtering]

[tire screeching]

Angel?

Principal Quinlan?

Quiet. Uh, I hear something.

[tire screeching]

[gasps]

Scooby! Dog, we got the

communications tower working.

We found the clue.

Teach, how long till

beep beep

Ha ha. Look at that.

It does look like a turkey.

[telephone rings]

Sheriff Bronson Stone.

Sheriff, this is

Principal Quinlan.

- We've got an emergency - at the school.

- We need you to get - down to the docks.

Hold on there,

according to my caller ID

this is Amanda Murphy's phone.

Bronson, it's me!

Ha. You kids never quit.

- And let me guess, - you wanna know

if my refrigerator is running.

Well, I'm no idiot.

Ha. My refrigerator

is right here.

That'll teach 'em.

[sighs]

Looks like we're on our own.

'There it is,

Captain Caveman.

thud

No. No, no, no!

Yeah!

boom

[truck horn honking]

[dramatic music]

Huh?

Yo, hot head.

Pull it over! It's a wrap.

I have to admit,

I admire your persistence.

- Oh, wait. - No, I don't!

[screaming]

[sputtering]

[gasps]

Raggy!

Scooby-Doo!

- Where'd I go?

- I was right.

These guinea pigs are just..

Guinea pigs.

Scooby, you're a genius.

- 'Speed Buggy, - pull in front of the truck.'

I've got a plan.

[sputtering]

Piggies away!

What? No.

[tire screeching]

[gasps]

Aah!

Oh, a wise-guy, eh?

Aah!

[groaning]

Thanks, Angel,

Principal Quinlan.

- It was starting - to get ripe in there.

Although it was

a pretty well constructed box.

Don't thank us, baby.

Thank them.

Look at that,

for the time ever

- the sidekicks have - solved the mystery.

Now, let's see exactly

who Lord Infernicus is.

(together)

The Funky Phantom?

Now, it's me, don't you know.

But why?

I was sick of being a sidekick.

Resentful, even.

I'm not a real ghost.

I'm Jonathan Wellington

Muddlemore.

Actor, thespian, dramatator.

(Funky Phantom)

in my rent at the Y

I was behind

so a friend told me about

this clock I could squat in.

- When they found me - and thought I was a ghost

I figured why not.

- Ghost gig got me - three hots and a cot

but I got tired of taking

a back seat, don't you know.

I wanted to headline.

I wanted to be the boss.

In charge, even.

With my own sidekicks.

- That's when - I stumbled upon

- the Mystery Solvers - State Finals.

- I had workshopped - my Lord Infernicus character

at various comedy clubs and

state fairs around the country.

And it has always been a hit.

[booing]

It was a simple matter

to use mirrors

and a video projector

to make myself appear and fly.

A little smoke, fireworks

a skeleton puppet identical

to my own bone structure

for close-up work,

a pre-recorded voice

and the deed was done.

I even abducted

my own cat Boo.

The plan was to ship

everyone off to Africa

- where there is - a desperate need

- for teenage - mystery solvers.

I then created the ruse

with the guinea pigs

sewing each of their

tiny costumes by hand

- using the actual - vintage fabrics

- of their real - life counterparts

just to throw you off track.

It was perfect.

Genius, even.

Until your ridiculous dog

started acting like a hero

instead of a sidekick.

Oh!

You lied to me.

Meow!

[growling]

Like, Scoob..

Looks like you and your pals

are the heroes of this mystery.

- Let's hear it - for the sidekicks.

'Hip hip..'

(together)

Hooray! Hip hip hooray.

'Hip hip hooray!'

Huh?

Scooby, are you okay?

Oh, he doesn't

look so good, gang.

(Scooby)

I don't feel so..'

'What happened?

'So well..'

'Shaggy!'

Scoob! Scooby-Doo!

Calm down. I'm right here.

We're alright here.

What happened?

You had a fever.

You've been

delirious for days.

Days? But the mystery

solvers finals.

Oh, we blew that off.

- You know we'd never - go without you.

Excuse me for a second.

[sobbing]

- (Fred) - Why?

I still can't believe it!

Why, why, why?

But I was there.

There was a shark,

a cave man, and a dune buggy!

Dude! You mean like these?

It was a dream?

I guess I was afraid

you'd go without me

because you

didn't need a sidekick.

No way!

You're not a sidekick.

You're a team member.

- And besides, - they moved the date

just so you could go.

- We haven't - told Fred yet.

Yeah. The chairman himself

came to see how you were doing.

Hello! How you doing?

Good to see you.

A pleasure, even!

Aah! It's him.

Funky Phantom.

Funky Phantom.

Heavens to Delaware!

Was it somethin' I said?
