Chapter 11: The End of the Witch's Ghost

Now we go to the stage where the Hex Girls used to perform. Scooby removes the sheet to reveal a drum as he plays it with his tail. Next Shaggy removes the piano and plays it as well.

Lukas enters as he sees the two by the instruments.

Shaggy: Like, come on in and join the band, Luke.

Lukas: I don't think this is a good idea to touch or play them.

Specter: Come on. [As Elvis] Just go with the flow, baby.

Lukas: Uuum, well, [he sees Thorn's guitar, and slowly grabs it] perhaps a little riff wouldn't hurt.

Lukas starts playing Thorn's guitar.

Specter: Now you're getting it!

Dusk: Hey.

Scooby: (gulped) Sorry.(Hides in the covers)

Shaggy: Like, Why'd you stop, old buddy?

Luna: No one touches my keyboard.

Shaggy laughs scared, and hides under the sheets where Scooby is.

Lukas: Hey, you two are here? Thought you were already sleeping.

Shaggy: Luke, like, the Hex Girls are here.

Lukas: Haha, very funny.

Specter: Luke, he's not joking. Thorn's here.

Lukas: She's here?!

Thorn: Ahem.

Lukas turned to Thorn as she gave him a warm smile.

Lukas: Oh uhhh how did this get in my hand? [Chuckles nervously]

Thorn smiled at him as she rolled her eyes.

Velma: Thanks for coming girls.

Thorn: We should be resting for the concert tomorrow. We only came because Ben asked us to.

Ben Ravencraft: Hey, I'm just following orders.

Luna: So what do you want?

The eerie wind starts to blow and the witch's ghost shows up again.

Shaggy and Scooby: Yikes!!

The witch flies over to where the people at and throws a fireball that them.

Witch's Ghost: THIS TOWN MUST PAY FOR IT'S FOULED DEED!!

The gang runs as fast as they can, until Velma trips.

Lukas: Velma!

Velma: Help me! I have fallen and I can't get up!

The Witch's Ghost prepares to attack.

Velma: Now!

The tree hits Witch's Ghost and then hits the Soccer ball net.

Specter: GOOOOOOAAALLL!!!

Lukas: We got the witch now!

Fred: Okay, let's see who's behind all this.

Fred removes the mask and reveals it to be... Mr. McKnight.

Shaggy: Like it's the T-Shirt guy!

Daphne: Mr. McKnight, the pharmacist?

The Hex Girls arrive.

Thorn: Daddy?

Mr. McKnight: Hello, Sally.

Luna: Your dad's the ghost?

Fred: Your name is Sally?

Thorn: I don't believe this, Daddy. Why would you do something like this?

Daphne: You mean you didn't know?

Mr. McKnight: The girls have nothing to do with this.

Mayor Corey: What in the world is going on this evening? (gasps) Is that you, McKnight?

Velma: Maybe I can explain. I found flash powder residue where Shag and Scoob saw the ghost. This is the device to throw the fireballs which was just watts of flash paper. He got it from his daughter's stage prompts.

The device shoots a fireball and lights up the treetops, revealing a cherry picker truck.

Shaggy: Like what's that?

Velma shines a light on the truck.

Velma: It's the cherry picker that made the ghost fly above the trees with the use of an extension device.

Lukas: And there's the fan that created the eerie wind. It took more than one person to pull off this scam. Isn't that right, Jack?

Jack is caught.

Shaggy: Zoinks.

Velma: It would take someone pretty strong to hoist Mr. McNight around.

Shaggy: You should be cooking pot roast, instead of cooking up trouble.

Velma: That goes for all of you!!

Ben Ravencraft: All of you?

Velma: Sure. There had to be more people involved to make this hoax work.

Mayor Corey: Well, I, for one, am shocked by this deception.

Lukas: You can cut the act, Mayor, because you're the one who got me suspicious from the start.

Mayor Corey: I... I...

Specter: Oooh, he's on the tightrope now!

Ben Ravencraft: I'm very disappointed in you, Mayor! And all of you! For lining your pockets by dragging Sarah Ravencroft's name through the mud!

Scooby wags his fingers, scoldingly. Now we go to Ben's place.

Thorn: She was the real Wiccan?

Ben Ravencraft: That's right.

Dusk: So cool.

Thorn: She's beautiful.

Lukas: [love dazed] You're sure are.

Thorn: Hm? [She turns to him with a blush]

Lukas realized that he said it out loud.

Specter: [teasing] Ooooh~.

Lukas: [blushes deeply/mentally] Quiet!

Thorn laughs a bit from his reaction as she decides to let it slide, for now.

Fred: I think I owe you girls an apology for thinking you were... uh...

Daphne: Witches.

Dusk: Witches? We just pretend that stuff, it's just a gimmick for our band.

Luna: We're "Eco goths" kinda like Wiccans. Just ask Thorn, she is one.

Thorn: Yeah right, Sally McKnight. 1/16 blood on my mother's side. And that ritual you saw, was just peppermint and cloves to save my vocal cords. You think it's easy singing this stuff.

Dusk: Thorn's herbal vapor is awesome. We all use it before and after every show.

Shaggy: But, what about your fangs?

Luna: My dad's a dentist. (gets out her fake fang) He outfitted the band.

The fang scares Scooby as he jumps on Shaggy.

Shaggy: Like we knew it all along, right, Scoob?

Scooby shows his fangs scaring Shaggy as he jumps and holds on to Luna and then she drops him.

Fred: So, what's with the name Thorn?

Lukas: It was the nickname that me and my friends gave the girls in the past.

Daphne: Aww, that's sweet.

Lukas: Thanks, Daphne.

The gang then hears a knock at the door to the study and finds The Mayor and Mr. McKnight. Lukas takes hold of Thorn's hand to show he's there for her and she smiles.

Ben Ravencraft: Mayor?

Mayor Corey: We've been ringing your doorbell for some time and...

Ben Ravencraft: Sorry about that. I've been meaning to fix that thing for years. What's up, Mayor?

Mayor Corey: Well Ben... I feel really bad about everything and I wanted to apologize for using your ancestors in our little publicity stunt.

Mr. McKnight: The tourist trade was so slow. We were desperate.

Mayor Corey: Right, and you once told me that supernatural phenomenon always attracts people.

Mr. McKnight: It was natural to use Sarah because.. (sighs) we accidentally dug up her grave.

Specter: You what?!

Ben Ravencraft: What grave?

Specter: Luke, if he finds the book-.

Lukas: [mentally] Don't be so sure. Her book can't be that bad.

Mayor Corey: I'm sorry Ben, but you see I lied to you when you asked me if we found anything of Sarah's while we were building the Puritan village.

Mr. McKnight: We did. It was her grave marker. We found it in a bulldozed pile of dirt and rocks. We don't want to upset you.

Mayor Corey: But that's all we found. No bones.

Lukas sighs relieved and his grip softens Thorn notices

Thorn: Lukas, what's wrong?

Lukas: Hmm. Nothing don't worry

Ben Ravencraft: No, book?

Mr. McKnight: Nothing but that grave marker. We swear, Ben.

Mayor Corey: We don't even know where her grave is.

Mr. McKnight: It's true. It could be anywhere between Miller's Creek and the old tree stump.

Specter: Oh no, not good!

Velma thinks of something and sees the portrait of Sarah.

Specter: Uh-oh.

Lukas: [quietly]

Thorn seems to notice Lukas talking to himself.

Velma: Shaggy. Do you still have the shoe buckle, Scooby found today?

Shaggy: Like this one? (Gives it to her) Here.

Velma: Scooby, can you show me exactly where you found this?

Scooby: I think so.

Specter: We're doom! Doom!

Lukas: Specter, relax.

Specter: This here, is a major red flag! [Pulls out a red flag with a red alarm ringing]

Lukas: Could be a good thing Specter?

Specter: NO! THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING!

Lukas: There is no need to yell! I'm the only one-.

Thorn: Lukas, are you alright?

Lukas turns to Thorn who has been listening to the whole one-sided conversation the whole time smirking.

Lukas: H-how long was I talking out loud

Thorn: The whole time I think, who's Specter?

Specter: Oh you're in for it now.

Lukas: Hush it, you.

Thorn gives him a stern look

Lukas: I was talking to Specter. I have a lot to explain, don't I?

Thorn: Yeah, you do, Lukas Pengram.

Lukas: Sally, I wanted to talk to you about this. I just haven't known where to start.

Thorn: [holding Lukas at both hands while looking at his eyes] Look, Lukas. If you can just tell me the truth, then I promise I will do my best to understand.

Lukas: [breathes in and out] Okay, thank you Sally, and I'll try to keep it as truthful as possible.

Thorn: I know.

Lukas: Okay. The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a sorcerer.

Thorn: (nods) Okay.

Lukas: I can conjure, and shoot plasma bolts out of my hand. I can speed time up or slow it down, with varying degrees of levitation. It's all very magical.

Specter: And can communicate with someone using a mirror.

Lukas: [sighs] And can communicate with someone using a mirror.

Thorn: Are any of them possible?

Lukas: Do you remember my grandfather?

Thorn: The old man, Merlin? Yeah, you introduced me and the others to him, in and out of the shop.

Lukas: Yeah, he's also... a sorcerer. A legendary sorcerer.

Thorn: Your grandpa's The Merlin?

Lukas nods as he continues telling his tale about his life and his journey. Thorn finds Lukas' confession hardly believable but is plausible at best since her latest ordeal wasn't believable either.

Thorn: As all of that is true, and you do have magic and meet real-life monsters.

Lukas: Yeah. I know you don't want to be with me because I'm... well different.

Thorn: No, I do.

Lukas: Really?

Thorn: Yeah why not I'm one-Sixteenth Wiccan why not believe in the supernatural being real? I like you, Lukas. Sorcerer or not, you're you. That's all that matters.

Specter: Wow! You got a keeper, buddy.

Lukas: [To Specter] I know. [Looks at Thorn] Thank you, for understanding.

Thorn: [smiles] You're welcome. [Kisses his cheek]

Lukas smiles.

Specter: Ahem.

Lukas: Oh, right.

He holds his hand out, creating a magic circle in front of Specter, going towards him appear in the physical plane.

Specter: Tada!

Thorn: [gasps]

Lukas: Sally, this is Specter. Specter, this is Sally.

Specter: Enchante, mademoiselle. [Kisses her hand]

Thorn: [giggles] He's a charmer.

Lukas: He is, and also my guide.

Specter: Come on. Let's meet up with the others.

Lukas: Wait, they left?[sees the living room is empty] How long?

Specter: Long enough for you to confess to Sally.

Lukas: Right. Let's go.

The three later leave the room and house. Now we go outside of the gang searching for the book.

Scooby: There! (Points at the stump)

Ben Ravencraft: All these years I was searching for the wrong oak tree.

Velma Dinkley: Right. I believe this is what was left of the tree where Sarah did her healing. You never even noticed it because it was cut down hundreds of years ago. It's up to you to dig it, Scooby.

Scooby: Nuh-uh.

Velma: Then how about a Scooby-Snax?

Scooby: Nuh-uh, no way.

Velma: Two.

Scooby-Snax?

Scooby: Okay.

Scooby eats two pieces of Scooby-Snax and then digs into the ground. He then stops digging.

Ben Ravencraft: What did you find?

Scooby: Rox!

Ben Ravencraft: Rocks?

Scooby pulls out a box.

Velma: A box!

Ben gets excited a little to see the box.

Daphne: You okay, Ben?

Ben Ravencraft: Just a little excited.

He opens the box to reveal the book inside; it looks ancient and has a demonic-looking skull on the front cover.

Daphne: It looks kinda evil belonging to a Wiccan healer.

Velma: Ben, that doesn't seem to be a journal at all.

Ben Ravencraft: (sinisterly) Because it isn't, Velma. It's a spell book.

Velma: [gasps]

Lukas: [mentally] OK, Specter, you were right.

Specter: Crimson flags here!

Ben Ravencraft: You see, Sarah wasn't a Wiccan. She was indeed, a witch!

The others are surprised.

Thorn: A real witch?

Dusk: Heavy.

Ben Ravencraft: Since Sarah's blood runs in my veins, I guess that makes me... a warlock!

Scooby: Warlock?

Ben Ravencraft: The Wiccans imprisoned Sarah in her spell book! And you helped me find it.

Velma: (angered) You lied to me, Ben!

Ben Ravencraft: Well, gee. I have to. I'd been searching for years. Then I read about your exploits.

(Cut to a flashback)

The wind was blowing hard with the fire roaring.

Ben Ravencraft: I knew if anyone could help me find the book. It was you and your friends. I orchestrated the whole mummy scheme paying off the archaeologists and the security guards just to lure you to the museum so we can meet.

With that said, the Mystery Inc. is already by the museum, Ben watching them from the safety of the cameras.

(Flashback ends)

Ben Ravencraft: Yes, Velma. I tricked you into helping me, and it worked.

Fred: (to Mayor Corey and Mr. McKnight) You were in on Ben's plan, too!
Mayor Corey: Huh? No! We're surprised as you are, uh, honest!

Ben Ravencraft: For once, he's telling the truth. That stupid fake ghost was the town's idea. But it did work to my advantage.

Daphne: But why go through this fabric scheme? Why not just ask us to find the book?

Lukas: I know why. Because if we knew what that book was, we would never have helped him!

Ben Ravencraft: But even you can't imagine the real power of this book. No mere mortal can.

Fred: You've been reading too many of your own horror stories, Ravencroft.

Ben Ravencraft: A typical mortal response, but I am descended from a superior breed. I shall unlock the power of the imprisoned Sarah Ravencroft!

Shaggy: Like, I don't like the sound of this!

Scooby: Me neither!

Ben Ravencraft: Together, we shall reign supreme! (He recites a spell.) Let the evil from the past breathe again with a fiery blast!

The fire slowly rises from the ground when circling Ben. Dark clouds loom above.

Velma: No!

Ben Ravencraft: Let the dark wind with the night blow away the force of light!

Shaggy: Like I know what comes next, buddy. Big Trouble!

The tree falls.

Ben Ravencraft: Now I summoned ancient power!

Velma: (pleading) Ben, please stop!

Ben Ravencraft: This is evil's finest hour!

Specter: Gotta stop him, and fast!

The spell appears and drains on Ben.

Velma: No!

Ben Ravencraft: What's the matter, Velma? (takes off his glasses) Don't you like the new and improved Ben Ravencroft?

Velma: No! Frankly, I don't!

Ben Ravencraft: Well, get used to it.

He looks at Corey and McKnight running away.

Ben Ravencraft: Leaving so soon? The party is just beginning!

He uses his powers to Trap Corey and McKnight into the pillory.

Mayor Corey: Let us out!

Thorn: Daddy!

The Hex Girls girls try to save him.

Ben Ravencraft: Oh how deeply moving. (He uses his powers to trap The Hex Girls and uses a yarn to tie it up) Can I spin a yarn or what?

Velma: How could I ever like your novels?! Now, guys! Grab the book!

Lukas, Daphne, and Fred grab Ben.

Fred: Gotcha!

But Ben jumps to escape.

Daphne: Where'd he go?!

Then, they see Ben on the roof.

Lukas: I got him!

He quickly dodges an incoming fireball.

Lukas: Agh!

It explodes on him as he crashes into the tree.

All: Lukas!

Ben Ravencraft: This isn't one of your silly little mysteries, You can't solve me so easily.

Ben unleashes a fire spell around the gang as he laughs evilly

Velma: You won't get away with this, Ben Ravencroft!

Ben Ravencraft: Why? Because of you meddling kids?

Fred: Hey, we're not kids!

Ben Ravencraft: But enough of this meager magic! I want to see how powerful I can be! It's time to summon Sarah Ravencroft! (recites the spell) "Dreadful darkness, hear my cry! Bring back one who cannot die!" Agh!

He was interrupted by the stray plasma bolt, hitting him away from the book. Lukas was standing up, one hand out, and smoke slowly came out of the palm.

Lukas: I'll take that. [Grab the book]

Ben: How?! How can a measly flimsy mortal capable of doing that?!

Lukas clenches his fists with determination.

Lukas: Because unlike you, Ben Ravencraft, I use my magic for good, and stopping evil like you!

Ben noticed the Dragon Ring on Lukas' finger.

Ben: That ring! Of course, how was I so blind to not see it on your finger, you boy, are a Merlinean!

Lukas still has the book in hand.

Ben: I won't let you get in the way of my destiny! Now hand over that book!

Lukas: You want it? Come get it!

Ben: RAGH! [He fires many fireballs at Lukas, which he dodges]

Lukas conjures another plasma bolt. And fires at the fireballs, exploding on each contact. But, one of the plasma bolts struck Ben, making him tumble. Specter Cheerleaders appear.

Cheerleader Specters: Sic 'em, rick 'em, rock 'em, rake! Throw those bolts at that snake!

Ben: Ugh! You stay out of this!

Cheerleader Specter: [waves a tiny flag] Ben, Ben. He's our man, and if he can't do it[back to normal] GREAT!

Lukas fires another bolt at Ben, which he quickly fires. Lukas charges at the Warlock and delivers a strong punch to the face.

Lukas: Haha! [In pain] Ow![shakes his hand]

Ben conjures a stream of fire and disintegrates the bolt, heading towards Lukas.

Lukas quickly used his fire shield.

Ben: Curse you!

Shaggy: Zoinks, like, talk about a magic show. Right, Scooby-Doo?

Scooby: Reah, ragic rhow.

The battle between them was intense. Ben fires repeatedly as Lukas quickly avoids a few, before getting up and firing back, Ben avoids a few before getting hit, getting back and reaching out his hand to make the clouds fire a thunderbolt.

Lukas: Whoa!

He quickly rolls away from the thunderbolt, hitting the ground to explode.

Ben: RAGH!

He gets hit as Lukas redirects the incoming lightning bolt, back at Ben.

Ben: Aggh! Enough games!

He held out his hand to create a fireball, holding it high as the thunderbolt hit it, powering up and throwing it.

Lukas: Ahhh![evades]

It lands and explodes in front of him.

Lukas: No! The book!

Ben flies to pick up the book.

Ben Ravencraft: I'll take that! (Jumps back and continues reciting) Now, where was I? "Dreadful darkness, hear my cry! Bring back one who cannot die! Let the witch who perished here live again and reappear!"

The glows with harsh winds blowing and electricity flowing across the book, it opens wide enough with the vortex appearing, and a spirit emerges from it. The ghost of Sarah Ravencroft appears.

Ben Ravencraft: In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined such an imposing creature.

Sarah Ravencraft: Thank thee. Thou canst not know what my bondage have been like. Who art thou?

Ben Ravencraft: Ben Ravencroft, your descendant. From the modern world.

Sarah Ravencraft: Modern? (looks around) Not much seems to have changed.

Mayor Corey: Please, don't hurt us!

Sarah Ravencraft: The same pathetic peasants, graveling for their puny lives.

Ben Ravencraft: But. (his hand gets slapped away) Sarah, I want to become more powerful, like you.

Sarah Ravencraft: Thou, Jest.

Ben Ravencraft: But it was I who released you, you should serve me.

Sarah Ravencraft: I serve no one, leastwise a worm-like thee. Aye. Thou has freed me, so now I can punish the world for my long imprisonment.

Sarah uses her evil magic vapor to make all things decay and turn to ash.

Sarah Ravencroft: I shall create an era of darkness over this land! (laughing evilly)

The spell is heading towards Shaggy and Scooby.

Shaggy: Like, we're goners, Scoob!

Shaggy and Scooby quickly get out of the wheel before they can get vaporized by the spell.

Ben Ravencraft: This isn't how I envisioned. We were supposed to rule the world together, not destroy it!

Sarah Ravencraft: I care not for thy whims. Cross my path and I shall destroy thee along with thy world!

Ben Ravencraft: But I have the book. And I shall return you to the book. "Ancient evil get thee hence only good can recompense for the."

Sarah Ravencraft: (Laughing evilly) Thinkest thou art a Wiccan, only a virtuous soul can imprison me. (She traps Ben in a green ball) (Laughing evilly)

With the gang.

Lukas: [looks at the book. Then Sarah Ravencroft, and then Thorn] Think! Think!

It zooms into his ear, going to his brain, showing certain images and memories of the moment.

Luna: We're "Eco goths" kinda like Wiccans. Just ask Thorn, she is one.

Thorn: Yeah, right. Sally McKnight. 1/16 blood on my mother's side

Lukas: Brain Blast! I've got an idea, guys. But we need that book.

Shaggy: Like, we do have to?!

Velma: I'm sorry guys, but you two are the fastest.

Shaggy: No way.

Scooby: Uh-uh.

Velma: Don't Worry, We'll create a Diversion for you.

Scooby: No way.

Velma: How about for a Whole box of Scooby Snacks?

Shaggy: A Whole box?!

Velma: Good luck.

Fred: Hey broom-rider! Over here!

Sarah Ravencraft: Thou shalt pay for thy importance!

She unleashes her powers at the gang but they run off, But burns the Scooby Snax.

Scooby: Huh?

Shaggy: Guess snack time's over.

They flee screaming.

Fred: 400 years hasn't helped your aim, lady!

Daphne and Fred Flees.

Sarah Ravencraft: Thine mockery shall be thy last.

She goes after them.

As she uses her spell at the pumpkins, three monster pumpkins wake up and go after them

Velma and Lukas try to run from the Monster Pumpkin, but they avoid the tree, causing the Monster Pumpkin to get hit and smashed.

Velma: Jinkies!

Sarah fires a beam at the tree, causing it to burn. They run off and flee.

Ben Ravencraft: No, Let me out!

Shaggy picks up the book.

Shaggy: Zoinks. Like this is almost too easy.

Sarah Ravencraft: The book cannot help thee. (They see her and they run from her) DO MY BIDDING, BIRD!! Get them!

She enlarges a turkey and sends it after Shaggy and Scooby.

Shaggy: A turkey? (laughs) Even we're not scared of that- (They see the turkey) Like, now we are!

They run off, as the giant turkey gives the chase. Daphne and Fred try to run off, but The Pumpkin Monster grabs her.

Fred: Daphne! Don't Worry!

Fred tries to stop it, but the Pumpkin Monster grabs him as well.

Daphne and Fred Jones: Help!

Velma: Jinkies!

Lukas: Oh no!

As another Pumpkin Monster arrives to attack them, Velma and Lukas spill the butter, causing the Pumpkin Monster to slip and knock over another Pumpkin Monster, both smashed into pieces.

At the same time, Shaggy and Scooby continue to run from the giant turkey. They enter the house, but the Turkey is too big. Then it stretches its neck to attack, but it misses. Shaggy opens the door.

Shaggy: Gobble gobble Gobble.

Then Sarah Ravencroft appears.

Sarah Ravencraft: I believe thou hast something that is mine.

She uses her powers to blast the door but misses them.

Giant turkey: Uh-oh.

The door slams into the turkey, making it dizzy as the turkey then sees Shaggy and Scooby with the stuffing.

Shaggy: Got the stuffing, Scoob?

Scooby: Reah.

Shaggy: Time to baste this bird.

The turkey screams and runs away.

Shaggy: (laughs) I guess he hasn't got the right stuff, old buddy!

They hi-five each other, as Sarah flies towards them, as they scream and then run. As they run Scooby grabs the book and runs faster than a cheetah

Shaggy: Hey! Wait for me, Scoob!

He follows Scooby, with Sarah following the friends behind. Meanwhile, Fred, Lukas, Daphne, and Velma untie the ropes, freeing the Hex Girls.

Thorn: Thanks.

Luna: I am outta here.

Dusk: Yeah, that witch is the real thing.

Thorn tries to go with them, but Lukas stops her.

Lukas: Wait, Sally, we need your help.

Thorn: Me? What can I do?

Velma: We need you to read the spell to defeat Sarah Ravencroft.

Thorn: Are you crazy?! I told you! I'm not a witch, I can't help you against her!

Lukas: But you said you're part Wiccan.

Thorn: Only 1/16th.

Lukas: It doesn't matter. You have wiccan blood, meaning you can read the spell so you can send Sarah Ravencroft back to where she came from.

Thorn: Forget it! You don't even have the book.

Daphne:  No, Scooby does.

Shaggy and Scooby are running with the book in Scooby's mouth.

Lukas: Scooby! Over here!

Scooby tries to get to Lukas and Thorn until Sarah grabs Scooby's tail and she takes the book from him.

Sarah Ravencraft: Give me my book, you meddling hound.

Scooby-Doo: Hound? Where?

Shaggy realizes Sarah has captured Scooby.

Shaggy: Zoinks! (Gets a bucket of water) Let my buddy go, you creepy crone! (splashes water on her)

Sarah Ravencraft: What was that?

Shaggy: You're not melting! Like, it worked in "The Wizard of Oz!"

Sarah Ravencraft: Fool, I shall destroy thee!

Shaggy runs but is grabbed by Sarah and the bucket falls on her head, freeing Scooby.

Velma: The book! The book!

Then, Shaggy goes and gets the book back from Sarah, who is trying to get the bucket off her head.

Shaggy: I'll hold that for ya. (leaves)

The bucket explodes as Sarah grows in anger and unleashes her magic to make the pumpkins come to life as monsters.

Sarah Ravencraft: Bring me that book!

Specter: This is getting worse than I thought!

Lukas: [to Thorn and the others] I'll distract her. You guys give the book to Sally.

Fred: We will! Good luck!

Velma: And try to make it out alive!

Daphne: Be careful, Lukas!

Lukas: [gulps] Here I go![runs]

Thorn: Lukas!

He quickly stops as he turns to Thorn.

Lukas: Yeah?!

Thorn runs to Lukas. Cups her hands on his face, and kisses him deeply.

He blushes extremely hard, having a first-time kiss with the girl he truly loves. Steam is coming out from his ears.

Specter: Woooh, finally got that kiss, at the time like this!

Thorn: Mmmmwah.

She leaves behind a big kiss mark on Lukas' lips, and he is now in a love daze.

Lukas: [love dazed] Uh, what was I doing again?

Specter: Sarah Ravencraft.

Lukas: [focusing] Right. Gotta go.[runs]

Thorn: Good luck!

Lukas: Specter, any thoughts?

Specter: Well, we gotta keep her and her familiars from stopping us, we've gotta need backup.

Lukas: How?

Specter: You see those trees?

Lukas: [looks at the trees] Yeah?

Specter: Bring them to life.

Lukas: Alright. [He holds his ring out, emitting a green glow]

The Monster Pumpkins caught Shaggy and Scooby. The Pumpkins roar as they slowly approach Shaggy and Scooby.

A wooden stump slams on the pumpkin, leaving behind a mess.

Shaggy and Scooby: Huh?

The Enits slowly turn to the two, with a sound of wood creaking.

Shaggy: Zoinks! Like, what are they?!

Lukas: Back up!

Specter: They're called Enits, and are made from this guy!

Lukas: [to the Enits] Go protect the living!

The Enits slowly nod and go to the others.

Sarah Ravencraft: Fool! How dare thou defy me?!

Lukas: [gulps] Quiet easily.

Sarah: Thou shall pay for thy insolence!

Lukas conjures two plasma bolts, forming them into one.

Lukas: Put it on my tab! [He fires at Sarah, at which she quickly counterfires]

The Enits battle the monsters while protecting the living.

Fred: What are these wooden things?

Velma: Whatever they are, they're helping out!

Shaggy: We got it! We got the book!

Specter: Good, 'cause it's better to be important!

Specter sees more Monster Pumpkins

Specter: Showtime! [As Rambo] Time to rock and roll, dudes!

He pulls out a gun and starts firing at the pumpkins. Lukas avoided the blasts from Sarah, at which he quickly fired back.

Sarah Ravencroft: ENOUGH!

Sarah releases a shockwave, pushing him down.

Lukas: Ok. That hurt.

Sarah Ravencroft: RAGH!

She released a fiery dark wave. Lukas quickly used his magic shield. Sarah fires many spells at Lukas, breaking his magic shield.

Lukas: I won't let you leave this town, and harm more innocents!

Sarah Ravencroft: RAAAAH!

She fires a big dark thunderbolt, heading towards Lukas, he puts the amount of strength into the shield.

The magic shield breaks, making Lukas skidding back.

Sarah Ravencroft: Foolish boy! Thou honestly thinkth thou can defeat me?!

Lukas: I wasn't trying to defeat you! I'm just a distraction!

Sarah looks at the gang and Thorn. Thorn flips the pages and starts to say the spell.

Sarah: No!

Velma: It's up to you now, Thorn.

As the Sprouts grow.

Sarah Ravencraft: (laughs) The book is useless to a mere mortal!

Then suddenly, the book's magic wilted the root.

Lukas: But not to a Wiccan!

Sarah Ravencraft: Nay! I'll stop thee myself!

She flies closer to them.

Velma: Hurry Thorn, read!

Thorn: Alright!

Lukas: [teleports next to Thorn] Let's do this together!

Thorn nods as she holds Lukas' hand, both hands touching the book, which causes Lukas' ring to glow green.

Lukas and Thorn: "Ancient evil, get thee hence. Only good can recompense for the misdeeds that you've done. Witch return from whence you've come!"

Then a green and blue force of magic pushes Sarah, as she screams far to the ground, the book shakes in Thorn's hands and falls from her grip as the roots go down.

Velma: Thorn! It's working!

Sarah gets up and gasps in horror. The living tree goes back to being a normal tree and the pumpkins go back to normal.

Shaggy: Zoinks!!

Sarah Ravencraft: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The book starts to emit an electric vortex as it goes around Sarah, slowly starts to drag her back to the book.

Sarah Ravencroft: (gets pulled in by the book, screaming) NOT AGAIN!!

The sphere that trapped Ben disappears as he lands on the ground and sees Sarah getting pulled into the spell book. He tries to get away, but his leg gets grabbed by his ancestor.

Ben Ravencraft: No!

Sarah Ravencraft: I WON'T GO BACK ALONE!!

The vortex drags the both of them to the book, while Ben desperately tries to hold on and get out.

Ben Ravencraft: No! (struggles to get away) NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The vortex went strong as Ben got sucked into the book along with Sarah, before closing in on itself.

The friends slowly walk over to the book, but the burnt tree branch falls on the book and burns, forever trapping Ben and Sarah.

Velma: Ben Ravencroft's last book is one the world will never buy.

Daphne: Thank goodness.

Shaggy: But like, it would have been a hot bestseller.

Then, the Hex Girls set the Mayor and Mr. McKnight free.

Thorn: Daddy! (She goes to hug her father) Are you okay?

Mr. McKnight: You're the one I was worried about, honey. But, you did it! I guess you are a witch after all.

Thorn: A Wiccan, daddy. A Wiccan.

Lukas: Yeah, almost missed your daughter's first spell.

Specter: Hooray!

They look in surprise to see Specter.

Lukas: Guys, meet Specter. My ghostly spirit guide.

Specter: Yep, came straight from the Encantus. All here and out, guiding his life and magic.

Velma: Jinkies. That's impressive.

The mayor sees the destroyed village caused by Sarah Ravencroft.

Mayor Corey: This is a disaster! No witch! No village! What are we gonna do for our Autumn Fest!?

Thorn: Well, you still got the Hex Girls.

Mayor Corey: No offense, girls but, we need a bigger attraction.

Shaggy: Uh, mayor?

The Mayor sees the giant turkey and thinks he's going to cook him for dinner.

Lukas: [Sees the burned book] Now, what are we going to do with this?

???: I believe it's for the best that it's given to me.

Everyone turns around and sees Merlin.

Lukas: Grandpa.

Specter: Merlin! Haven't seen you out of the open in the past few millennia, you've grown a bit.

Merlin: Thank you.

Lukas: You've come since you've heard about the incident in Oakhaven and the book.

Merlin: I sensed dark magic from home.[Lukas gave the book to his grandfather] Sarah Ravencraft. The witch. And I never thought that Ben Ravencraft was her descendant. You and your friends did pretty well on stopping them.

Lukas: Thanks, grandpa.

Shaggy: Zoinks!

Lukas: What's wrong, Shaggy?

Shaggy: Like, dude, your hair.

Lukas: My hair?

Specter turns into a mirror and shows it to Lukas, showing that his hair is now pure white.

Lukas: Whoa. [He touches his hair] Guess genetics has its delayed timing.

Thorn: I think it looks good for you.[Kisses him]

Lukas blushes from the kiss, before slowly kissing her back.

Specter: Aww, all of you! Come here, big group hug! Group hug!

He spreads his arms and brings them in for a hug.

Specter: You mind if I kiss the dog? [He kisses Scooby, before coughing out a hairball] Ack! Oh, hairball.

Lukas: Hey, grandpa. Autumn Fest is tomorrow. You think can stay- and he's gone. He's gone.

Specter: Sometimes there are important matters for Merlin to attend to.

Lukas: Look.

The Merlin's magic rebuilds the damages.

Fred: Your grandfather did all of this?

Velma: He is the old man of magic, after all.

Thorn: Sure is. Lukas[grabs his hand] Come with me.

Lukas: Um, see you guys tomorrow.

Daphne: See you, Lukas.

Both Lukas and Thorn left the area and headed to McKnight Residence.

At Thorn's room. The room was decorated with red walls with black lines, dark curtains, a bed that fit two people, and a lamp.

Lukas: So, any reasons you brought me here?

Thorn: [closed the door] Oh nothing. Just rewarding my hero~.

Lukas: Rewarding, as in... [He blushes at the thought of it]

Thorn kisses him deeply. Lukas kisses Thorn, slowly wrapping his hands around her waist.

Lukas: Sally, are you sure about this?

Thorn: I do, and I'm sure you wanted this as well~.

Thorn snapped her fingers. Her clothing comes off with her magic, causing Lukas to blush hard, but it doesn't stop there as his clothing also comes off.

Lukas covers himself.

Thorn: [seductively] No need to hide it, let it out.

Thorn was shown to be wearing a crimson bra with black swirly patterns, and underwear that has red lines across.

Lukas was in his boxers. Lukas' boxers appear white and blue. Thorn walked to Lukas while she sways her hips. As soon as she got close to him, she pushed him onto her bed.

Lukas blushes hard, seeing her close to him. Thorn gets on the bed and saddles on his waist. She brought her hands up to my face and cupped his cheeks as she slammed her tongue into his mouth, exploring it while he offered no resistance and let himself be dominated and controlled.

As Thorn explored his mouth he started thrusting up into her harder than before. A moan slipped out of Thorn's mouth and it sent shivers down his spine.

Thorn quickly broke their kiss, leaving a trail of saliva connecting our lips. Thorn smiled down at him and bit her bottom lip. An action that only further confirmed his helplessness.

Outside of the house...

Specter: Hm, now where could those lovebirds?

Specter phases through the door, entering the living room.

Specter: Hm, quite a nice place they got here.

Specter: Hm? What's that sound?

Specter flew through the living room and went upstairs to follow the sound.

Specter: Wonder what they're doing.

Specter looked around as he spotted Thorn's old room. He phases his head through the door.

Specter: Hm, haven't changed a bi- [he rotates before stopping with a blush on his face with steam coming out]

Specter's face turns into a tea kettle. Allowing steam to come and whistle out from the front.

Thorn: Oh, Lukas~!

Lukas: Ah, Sally~!

The shadow shows the two being intimate, with Lukas being on top of Thorn, thrusting upon her. Specter pulls his head.

Specter: [nervous chuckles] Best I leave them.

Next morning... The sun slowly rises as it goes to the window at McKnight Residence. Lukas and Thorn are sleeping together peacefully. Both hugging as the sunlight slowly reaches the room.

Lukas: [groaned and woke up] What a night.

Thorn: [slowly waking up] Yes it is, Lukas.

Lukas: Morning.

Thorn: Good morning. [Kisses him as he kisses back]

Lukas: Hey, Sally. About last night...

Thorn places her finger on Lukas' lips.

Thorn: I'm fine, I wouldn't mind that at all.

Lukas: I was going to say, last night was...amazing.

Thorn: It was, majestic.

Lukas: So, I'm guessing that we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, huh?

Thorn smiles as she slowly holds Lukas' hand.

Thorn: Guess we are.

Lukas smiles at Thorn while he blushes.

Thorn: [smiles] Come here, you. Mmmph.

Lukas: Hmph! Mmmm. [Kisses Thorn as he brings her close]

Later at night...

Specter: Okay, everyone ready for this?

Hex Girls: Ready!

Specter: Then let's rock this joint!

The Mystery Inc are in their rock and roll outfits. Except Lukas.

Specter: I can help with that.

Specter transformed into a fashion designer.

Specter: Let's see. [Snaps his fingers as the strings wrap around Lukas, before forming into spikey clothes] Mmmm nah, too spikey.

He snaps his fingers as the strings make him in gothic clothing.

Specter: Too emo.

He snaps his finger again, changing into different outfits. Specter looks at his Dragon Ring and then he gets an idea.

Specter: I got it!

He snaps his fingers as it creates the biggest smoke cloud, before fading.

Specter: Voila!

Lukas was in now a pleather jacket and pants that appeared as dragon scales, and boots that resembled dragon skulls.

Lukas: Hmmm, not bad.

Specter: I like it, muy macho!

Specter snaps his fingers as he changes his costume, reminiscing about the musician Ozzie Osbourne.

Specter: Let's rock!

He strums the guitar as the smoke comes out. The fog clears up and Thorn and the girls are singing "Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air" with Mystery Inc. as the backup band.

Thorn: [sings] Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air.

Hex Girls: [sings] We may look bad but we don't care.

Thorn: [sings] We ride the wind, we feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire.

Dusk and Luna: [sings] To love the earth is our one desire.

Lukas plays by Thorn's side while playing a guitar to resemble a dragon head.

Thorn: [sings] Love the earth it's only fair, It's one big earth that we must share.

Specter plays with the gang while playing a two-handle guitar.

Hex Girls: [sings] We love the earth with all our fire!

Thorn: [sings] It's in our souls our one desire.

Lukas and Thorn smile at each other as they continue.

Thorn: [sings] Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air.

Hex Girls: [sings] We may look bad but we don't care.

Lukas uses his magic to have himself and Thorn slowly hover in the air.

Thorn: [sings] We ride the wind, we feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire.

Dusk and Luna: [sings] To love the earth is our one desire.

Lukas and Thorn are in the air, now close as they're face to face with a smile.

Thorn: [sings] Nature is a precious gift. It will make your spirits lift.

Specter flies around while playing the guitar fast.

Hex Girls: [sings] We love the earth with all our fire!

Thorn: [sings] It's in our souls our one desire.

Both Thorn and Lukas hold each other's hands, while their magic plays their guitars.

Hex Girls: [sings] Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air!
We may look bad but we don't care.

Both lean in close, holding each other tight as they slowly spin in the air.

Hex Girls: [sings] We ride the wind, we feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire.

Specter flies around everyone with a speedy wind to blow the leaves around, before making a fiery circle.

Hex Girls: [sings] To love the earth...

Lukas and Thorn slowly look at each other, as to their point of view, showing bat-like hearts.

Hex Girls: [sings] Is our one desire!

The crowd applauds. The crowd cheers as both Lukas and Thorn cup one cheek, slowly hiding their faces from the view as they kiss, the fireworks fly up to explode, and then another explodes to form a heart shape.

Scooby: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

Scooby then hissed at the audience and then his fake fangs came off.

He laughs and waves his cape.

Specter: Thank you and goodnight!

Specter flies up to the moon. The moon suddenly starts laughing and reveals Specter's face.

He laughs as the reel suddenly gets pushed up to show Specter.

Specter: Made you look. Ha! [He flies down with the reel back in place and the moon back to normal]

The next morning... Everyone was packing up to leave.

Fred: Is everybody ready?

Daphne: Not yet.

Fred: Where's Lukas?

Velma: Saying goodbye to his girlfriend.

The gang sees Lukas and Thorn by the tour bus.

Thorn: You've got my number so if you get bored during one of the mysteries you can call.

Lukas: Yeah still are you are sure you okay with being in a long-distance relationship with me?

Thorn: I know it seems to be a bummer, but that doesn't mean we can still be together, I'll always keep in touch and won't forget.

Lukas: Sally, I just-.

Thorn interrupted Lukas with a kiss, making him feel better as they smiled at each other.

Thorn: Does that make you feel better?

Lukas: I don't know. I think I have more questions.

Thorn: Oh, do tell~.

Lukas pulls Thorn and kisses her back. Fred blew the horn from the Mystery Machine.

Fred: Time to hit the road.

Luna: Come on, you lovebirds, we have to go!

Lukas and Thorn laugh at each other.

Thorn: I should probably get going.[about to leave]

Lukas: Hold on, one more thing before you go.

He slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box.

Dusk and Luna: [gasps]

Mystery Inc: [gasps]

Thorn: [gasps]

Lukas smiles as he slowly opens it

Mystery Inc: NO!

Lukas: Ooof!

They quickly pile him down, but the box is intact.

Lukas: [muffled] Ow. What?

Daphne: It's too early for you and her to get engaged!

Lukas: Engaged?

Shaggy: Like, why else do you have that ring box?!

Lukas: Guys, you got the wrong idea. Specter, show them.

Specter comes out of the box, holding a crow ring.

Specter: Tada!

Lukas: This is something I want to give to Sally, a little remember me by, so Specter and I used some spare metal to make this ring.

Thorn: It's beautiful.

Lukas: You're welcome.

The ring suddenly came to life as it caws, before flying off to Thorn, wrapping its wings around her finger.

Specter snickers as he uses his magic to make a wedding ceremony. Specter appears between them as the pastor for weddings.

Pastor Specter: Do you, Sally "Thorn" McKnight, take Lukas Pengram as your lawful wedded husband?

Lukas sees himself in a black tuxedo. Thorn sees her in a dress similar to the red wedding dress from Beetlejuice but black and red.

Specter: And do you take Lukas Pengram, take Sally "Thorn" McKnight as your lawful wedded wife?

Lukas and Thorn blush at the moment that they're getting married.

Lukas: Specter!

Specter: Kidding. Kidding.

He laughs as the wedding poofs into smoke, along with Lukas and Thorn's clothes back to normal. Thorn handed Lukas a music player.

Thorn: It should have some of The Hex Girls songs on there for you to listen to while you drive to the next mystery.

Lukas: Thanks, Sally. I... I love you.

Thorn blushes as she feels her heart skip a beat, before slowly going to Lukas and holding both his hands.

Lukas: And...[whispers to her] When the time is right, we'll get married. I promised.

Thorn: Promise? [Slowly wraps her pinkie finger around his]

Lukas: Promise.

Both of them lean in and kiss deeply.

Thorn: I love you too.

They hug and say goodbye before Lukas hops into the Mystery Machine

Thorn: Daphne, make sure he doesn't cheat!

Daphne: Will do, Thorn!

Lukas: You say Roswell Daph. What there?

Daphne: Sightings of aliens and I want to see how much is real

Fred: I bet it's just people in masks.

Lukas: Could be real?

Specter: Real or not, I'm ready to see what I've missed throughout those years.

Fred: Ready, gang?

All: Always!

Lukas: Lead the way!

Fred drives the Mystery Machine as Lukas looks at his hometown through the window.

Seeing a faint flashback of his memories in Oakhaven, especially being with his old friends, and his recent girlfriend.

The flashback shows young Lukas and Thorn, walking through the streets of Oakhaven while holding hands as the sun sets.

They both smile as they look up to see the sunset, and the night slowly arrives to make the beautiful stars.

Young Thorn: Guess, when we grow up, you're going to be my husband.

Young Lukas: [blushes] I-Is it early to talk about that? Because if so, y-you would be my wife.

Young Thorn: [giggles]

Young Lukas: How about this? If we're still single, then I'll marry you.

Young Thorn: Promised?

Young Lukas: Promised.

Both of them wrapped their pinkie fingers, smiling as they pulled each other to hug.

The flashback ends.

Lukas: I'll see you again, Sally. [Looks at his ring as he smiles]

At the Antique Shop in Coolsville, Merlin enters the shop and he slowly goes to the lamp, turning it as it opens a secret as he walks downstairs. Downstairs shows many things, as Merlin proceeds forward to a hall called "Memories of Dark Arts, which shows the paintings of different people along with their belongings on the pedestals.

Merlin: Welcome to your new home, Ravencrofts. [He places the book down, causing the portrait to paint itself to show Sarah and Ben]

He walks away before slowly stopping to eye at the certain empty pedestal, saying "Reserve".

Merlin: Still out there, Lukas should hurry to prevent any more incidents to anyone who follows Morgana.

End of Chapter 12
