The Luna Ghost has been haunting a Wow-O Toy Factory for quite some time now, and it was threatening to shut down for good. Mystery Inc. jumped at the chance to put down the ghost, only for Dante to get caught by the spirit, so the gang got a plan in motion.

"わたしおおろして、ジャブロニ!" Dante screamed angrily, as the Luna Ghost had him in a Fireman's hold, and was cackling aloud as it flew around the factory. (Translation from Japanese: Put me down, jabroni!)

But the ghost would not let him go. However, Dante remembered something. While training to control his powers over fire and lightning, he found out that he can fly. This gave him an idea. The ghost's body felt like it was obviously made of rubber that was used for balloons which meant that while his lightning would be useless, Dante's fire would surely force the spirit to let him go, and then he can use his power of flight to chase it.

"これでどらごんがめざめました!" He yelled angrily. (Translation: Now you've awakened the dragon!)

Velma was on a catwalk observing the situation and having heard what Dante said, she looked up at the ghost as it was flying around the room while clinging to Dante. She saw the rage in his eyes as they gave off an ominous purple glow. Velma's eyes widened with fear. She knew what was coming.

"Fred! Daphne! Take cover!" She said through a walkie-talkie.

Fred was on the ground floor with Daphne. Fred was armed with a fire hose, and had a headset to stay in contact with Velma. Daphne was standing by the tap of the hose, ready to release all the water that would be needed for the plan.

"Fredster and Daph here, Velms. What's going on?" Fred replied. Then he spotted a mirror next to him, and smiled at himself.

"Right now, Dante's been caught by the ghost, but he's okay. However, the ghost is in for a lot of trouble, because Dante's really angry now!" Velma called.

"What's he gonna do? Fry it with his lightning?" Fred asked smugly.

"No! He's gonna burn the ghost to oblivion with his fire! You've seen what Dante's flames can do! They can't be extinguished with water! Only Dante has the power to stop them!" Velma replied.

Then Fred's eyes widened as he made an "Oh shit" expression on his face. He knew that Velma was right. And one thing that the gang knew is that while Dante was usually calm and collected, it is very dangerous to push his limits. And right now, the Luna Ghost was making him mad. They heard the sound of shrieking as a blur of violet flames flew by. Dante had used his Pyrokinetic powers to outline his body in violet colored flames which immediately lit the ghost on fire. And now he was flying after it in hot pursuit.

"Oh I'm sorry Mrs Luna. Is it too cold in here for ya? How 'bout I turn up the heat?" He asked in a very joking manner as he generated an orb of violet fire in the palm of his right hand. Fred looked towards the barrel where Shaggy and Scooby were hiding.

"Shaggy! Scooby! Get out of there, hurry!" He screamed.

"Like what's wrong Freddy?" Shaggy asked.

"Reah. Rhat's the matter?" Scooby replied.

"Guys, Dante broke free from the ghost's grasp, and he's in a bad mood!" Fred answered.

Before Shaggy and Scooby could say anything, the Luna Ghost shot a stream of fire from a lit candle in front of it, burning Scooby's tail in the process. Scooby shot out of the barrel with a yelp, and put the fire out on his tail. Shaggy and Scooby popped out.

"Like, you okay Scoob?" Shaggy asked the Great Dane.

"Reah. I'm okay." Scooby replied.

They turned around to see that the Luna Ghost was behind them, but also noticed that it was covered in violet flames. The ghost stared back at them.

"Put it out!" The ghost screamed in a deep male voice.

"We can't!" Shaggy and Scooby screamed together as they took off running.

"Hey, rubber butt!" A voice said from behind the ghost.

The Luna Ghost turned around to see Dante glaring back.

"You still look a little frozen. Let me WARM you up." He said.

The ghost made a beeline for the exit, but Dante was right behind it. They burst through the door and the Luna Ghost tried to fly away. But Dante caught up with the ghost and unleashed a variety of martial arts moves while in the air. Dante knocked the back down to the ground where he tied it up tightly with a rope and extinguished the flames, but not without melting enough rubber to reveal a contraption that filled the balloons with highly potent helium which allowed the Luna Ghost to fly.

Police sirens were heard as the gang ran outside to check on Dante. The Mystery Machine pulled up and skidded to a stop. The driver's side door opened, and out stepped a beautiful blonde woman with a white shirt, blue jeans and a pair of cowboy high-heel boots. This lady, who happened to go by the name of Pamela seemed quite pleased the gang solved the mystery. Some fans came up asking for autographs and pictures, but Dante deterred them by striking the ground in front of them with his lightning. Pamela hugged Dante as a thanks, but Dante pushed her away.

"私に触れないで、クリープ。" He said.

Pamela was shocked to say the least.

"What did you just say?" She asked.

Velma scowled at Pamela.

"One, he's Japanese, yet he speaks English fluently. Two, he said: Don't touch me, creep." She said.

"Nevertheless, thank you for saving the factory." She said, then turned to the camera reporters who arrived on the scene. "This is a victory for anyone who wants to make a quality, ecologically friendly action figure." She announced to the camera.

"Fred, what's the secret to your success?" A male reporter asked Fred.

"Teamwork." Fred replied. "I owe a tremendous amount of credit to my friends. They never give up on solving a mystery, and I always have a plan." He then motioned the cameras to what was left of the Luna Ghost.

"Yeah. My plan." Velma muttered with a neutral facial expression. Dante rested his hand on her shoulder in support to which she smiled gently at him, albeit from showing an obvious blush on her cheeks.

"Allow me to do the honors Fredbear. You have gotten enough credit as it is for today, liar." Dante said with a scowl. He knew that Fred was lying about teamwork being the key to his success.

"I knew there was never a phantom, from the beginning." Dante told the reporters, as he grabbed the head of the ghost. "The Luna Ghost is in fact..." He ripped off the mask, revealing a woman who was much older than Pamela, and she looked extremely upset.

"Old Lady Smithers?" The crowd and gang all asked in surprise.

"The creepy old janitor?" Pamela asked in clear disgust.

"Smithers here wanted revenge on Pamela after she was put on janitor duty, and wanted to take her position of the factory." Dante explained to Pamela.

"Pamela, why did you do this to me!? I wanted that position more than you would ever know, and yet, you just waltzed in and stole it from me!" Smithers yelled angrily. Pamela just shrugged.

"Fred, how was the ghost able to fly?" Another reporter asked as Velma walked up, only for Dante to raise his hand, stopping her.

"Don't worry Velms. I've already figured it out, but I assure you that your knowledge is deeply appreciated. Nobody appreciates you like I do." He said, earning him yet another blush from Velma who laughed shyly as she smiled at Dante flirtatiously.

"Awww...." The whole crowd said as Velma walked up to him.

"Nevertheless, you and I can both answer the question behind the ghost being able to fly. As you guys can see by the melted remains of this costume courtesy of Dante's power to control fire, these balloons are filled with a highly potent helium synthesis, giving the Luna Ghost..." She pushed a button on Smither's chest, making the balloons fill up with the helium "... its weightless appearance."

Smithers was annoyed, as she floated up only five feet in the air, but she was stopped by Dante who pulled her back down to land where she was arrested by the police. "And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids, and that stupid dog! I'll get you all for this! Do you hear me?! You'll pay for this!" She declared with anger in her voice.

"やれやれだぜ。" Dante groaned. (Translation: Good grief.)

"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" Scooby cheered, and Dante laughed as he patted the back of his neck.

"I tell ya, that never gets old Scoob. I don't know why, but it always makes me laugh when ya do that." Dante said.

~*~*~

After the fans left the scene, the reporters were continuing their reports whilst Smithers was taken to jail. All the while, the gang were walking back over to the Mystery Machine where Pamela had parked outside for them.

"Fred, I can't believe you took credit for my plan again." Velma complained to the leader as they walked to the van.

"Some plan." Daphne scoffed with her arms crossed over her chest.

"And in case you didn't notice, that lunatic was rubbing me sexually for over half an hour." Dante shuddered a little. "It was rather unpleasant and I had to wait for you guys while my hands were tied. I ALMOST accidentally burned down the whole factory because of your incompetence." He said, glaring at Fred.

"Dante, look. It's not our fault that you always get kidnapped like this." Fred told him, and Daphne glared at her crush.

"Dante does not always get kidnapped." Daphne interjected back, then her face softened. "I can't believe you'd say that to him."

"Oh, please. It's not like that hasn't happened to you over the years." Velma scoffed at the redhead princess, and out of a fit of anger, Daphne took away Velma's glasses, making her go on her hands and knees to find them. "Hey, my glasses!"

"Who's helpless now?" Daphne mocked, as Velma got a grab of Fred's neck.

"I'm gonna kill you, Daphne!" Velma yelled, as she started to strangle Fred.

"Whoa!" Fred got Velma off of him. "Watch the ascot. I will not be abused by some bimbo who wears orange and needs glasses to see." He told her.

This made Dante very angry. He tightly clenched his fists as they soon became encrusted with violet flames.

"SILENCE!!!" He screamed. His voice had an echo to it, and it was loud enough to make the gang freeze in their tracks. "That's enough now, from all of you!" Dante stormed over to Daphne and grabbed her wrist. Daphne cringed as Dante tightened his grip, threatening to break her hand which made a sickening cracking sound. "Give me Velma's glasses, NOW." He said tensely.

Daphne fearfully surrendered the glasses as Dante released his grip and returned the glasses to Velma. "Feel any better Velms?" He asked her. Velma smiled gently to Dante. "I'm fine, thanks." She replied. Dante helped Velma back to her feet and smiled smoothly. "Ya know, I meant what I said before. Nobody would ever appreciate you like I do. Not even these blockheads."

Velma blushed as she wrapped her arms around Dante's neck. "And no one appreciates you like I do, Dante. The truth of it is that I've loved you since day one. Nobody makes me feel happy like you do. And I would rather spend my days with you." She said sweetly.

The rest of the gang's jaws dropped while Dante's smile widened. Not only did Velma reciprocate his feelings for her, but she had been hiding feelings of her own.

"私はこれ以上何も求めません、私の最愛の人。" Dante replied. (Translation: I would ask for nothing more, my darling.)

Daphne glared at Velma out of clear jealousy. "Oh sure, go off and live with your new boyfriend while I get stuck with Fred. In his case, it's like I'm talking to a monkey. A really, really big, stupid monkey named Fred." She said.

Dante smirked. "At least I have a girlfriend who loves me for who I am. Unlike you, Fredbear." He said. Fred glared at him. "Don't call me that. You know I hate that nickname. Do I look like an animatronic bear to you?" Fred asked angrily.

Velma smirked at Fred. At this point, she loved seeing him get mad. "Yes Freddy. You do. Hey? Where are your friends Bonnie and Chica?" She replied.

"Guys, look." Shaggy got the others' attention as they looked over to him. "I know. I'm just the dude who carries the bags. But, it seems that we all play an important role in this group. I mean, think of it this way, we're all just like one big banana split." He started with Fred. "Fred, you're the big banana." The blonde leader thought for a moment, and he guessed that Shaggy did have a point since the latter is blonde. "Daphne, you're like the sweet vanilla bean flavoured ice-cream. Velma, you're the sweet and smart chocolate sauce." Shaggy then got to Dante who glared at him intensely. "And Dante, you're the handsome cherry that goes on top." Dante's glare never left his face.

"Mmmm"" Scooby thought in interest.

"It sounds good, doesn't it, Scoob?" Shaggy asked.

"Ruh huh!" Scooby nodded.

"You know Shaggy?" Velma asked. "You really put it in perspective for me." She sounded like she was about to crack under the stress.

"Thanks." Shaggy replied, blissfully unaware of what Velma meant.

"I quit." Velma stated, and everyone except Dante froze in shock. Fred, Daph, Shaggy and Scooby looked at her with wide eyes. Did Velma Dinkley say... She was quitting Mystery Inc. for good?

"You know what? Screw you guys. If Velma goes, I GO." Dante replied. Everyone else looked at Dante in shock, even Daphne who was still showing signs of jealousy.

"You two can't quit." Daphne added, then she said something that she never thought would come from her mouth. "I was gonna quit in like, two seconds ago. And now everybody's gonna think I copied off the smart girl and her handsome little Prince Charming." Dante narrowed his eyes at Daphne. "Watch it, Elsa. You're really walkin' on thin ice now." He snarled with a sneer.

"Wait a minute!" Fred yelled out, and everyone looked at him. "Maybe I quit." He realised it, as Daphne gave him a sad look. "I do. Yeah, I quit!" With that, he walked off to his red 1962 Jaguar E-type Coupe.

"Come on Dante, let's go.." Velma walked off to her orange BMW M5 which was already being taken away by some thieves. Luckily the glove box and trunk were empty.

"Hey! Come back here!" Velma yelled, as she ran after them. But the men peeled out and left with her car. "My suitcase was in there." She said sadly. Then Dante came up behind her. "That's not true Velma. I actually loaded your stuff up into my car. And I did that with just a snap of my fingers." He said.

Velma looked up at him in surprise. "You what?" She asked. Dante smiled reassuringly. "Yes. Your stuff is in my car, perfectly safe." Daphne glared at them. "Good riddance." Daphne said, as she headed off to her purple Jeep Cherokee.

Dante flipped Daphne the bird as the redhead left before turning his attention to Velma. "Come. Let us go find ourselves a new home. Far away from those blockheads. They're a lost cause to us." He said. They walked to Dante's car which was a Carbon-black Aston Martin DBS.

Velma's eyes widened. "An Aston Martin DBS? That's insane." She said. Dante laughed. "Yep. She's my baby, built with the latest parts and state of the art technology. She's got a 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 engine, top speed of 174 mph, and a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds." He said.

Velma looked at Dante in surprise. She couldn't believe that Dante had been working on this car behind the gang's backs. "Of course, leather interior, power windows and a boomin' stereo system are all standard." Dante said. Velma smiled at him. "A beautiful car for someone as handsome yourself. Let us go someplace where those knuckleheads will never find us." She said.

Dante laughed as they got into his car. "Don't worry. I've got us an isolated cabin in Columbia Falls from Montana." He said, as he pulled out the key for his car.

Dante inserts the key into a button above the screen that says engine start and fires up the engine. "How are gonna shift gears? There's no clutch." Velma said. Dante smirked. "Don't need one. I can shift gears with just the push of a button. Watch this." He said as he hit a button with an uppercase D which meant Drive.

"I backed into this parking space. So I can just pull right out. So, what do ya say? You wanna go to Montana?" Dante asked. Velma kissed him on the cheek. "As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go." She said. Dante pulled out of the parking space and set a course for the city of Columbia Falls in Montana. The radio played Drivin' Wheel by Foghat.
