Chapter 4: It's Terror Time Again

Lukas: [hyperventilating] I need to sit down.

Fred: [grabs him.] Breathe.

Lukas: She was... She was alive when she came to my arms... Had a collar on... Her owner's name...

He looks at the kitten as she meows, rubbing her fur on his chest.

Lukas: Kitten... Ghost... Ghost Kitten.

Daphne: Lukas, breathe. And think about physics.

Lukas: Y-Yeah... The physics...

Lulu purrs at Lukas. He slowly reaches his hand at Lulu, petting her.

Beau: Ghost Kitten. Yeah right.

Velma: What were you doing out here?

Beau: [mumbling] My job! I was doing some planting, got thirsty, went to get a drink, and came back to find these two.

Velma: Hmm. What are you planting, elephants? That hole is huge. [A/N: That's what she said]

Beau didn't answer as he grumbled while picking up the shovel and walked away.

Velma: There's something suspicious about that gardener.

Daphne: Yeah, he is suspicious, but he is kind of cute.

Lukas: Really? Are you pulling that card now, Daph?

Fred: Well uh, if we're all through here, maybe we should get going?

Shaggy: Like, that's a great idea, Fred.

Daphne: "Get going"? No way! This place gets more interesting by the minute.

Simone: But it is getting close to sunset, and the ferry doesn't run at night.

Shaggy: Like, we do.

As Shaggy and Scooby are about to leave, Simone grabs him by the sleeve.

Simone: We have plenty of rooms, you could stay for the night.

Simone: Oh, I couldn't let you leave without offering some of our famous southern hospitality. That is if Lena doesn't mind some extra guests.

Lena: Well, sure thing, Miss Lenoir. I'll start dinner.

Lena agreed before she turned back to the mansion and walked forward.

Scooby: Rinner?

Shaggy: Like, why didn't you say so?

Lukas: But, but, what happened to "Get Going?" First, writings on a wall appear, and now I see a ghost kitten following me everywhere I go.

The kitten meows and snuggles Lukas.

Lukas: Yep. I'm outta here.

Daphne: It's already late, so best to head inside.

Lukas: [walking] Nothing you can do can change my mind.

Daphne: Well what would you think about how Lena will feel if you leave?

Lukas: [to Daphne] Nice try, Daphne. But I'm still-[sees Lena right in front of him] Lena, hi.

Lena: Hi Lukas, think you're alright sleeping at our home, while I prepare supper?

Lukas: Look, i-

Lena: Hush now, I can tell you're stressed right now, so how about you rest your head in our rooms, and it'll be alright by tomorrow.

Lukas: But-

Lena: [places her finger on Lukas' lips] Easy now, let's get home to eat while you rest your head. [Walks as she sways her hips]

Lukas: [blushes] On second thought, we'll stay for the night.

Daphne: I thought so.

At the mansion, Lena was showing Shaggy, and Scooby their bedroom as a bird flew down near the house.

Lena: And this is your bedroom, I hope you'll be comfortable.

Shaggy: Thanks, Lena. So, what time is dinner?

Lena: Well, I've never met a pair who ate so much.

Shaggy: Like being in a state of constant terror makes us constantly hungry.

Scooby: Reah. Ronstantly.

Lena: Your room is this way, follow me.

Lukas: Okay.

Lukas follows Lena as they enter a room, opening it to show the setting sun.

Lukas: Whoa.

Lena: You'll have a beautiful view of the Harvest Moon tonight, I hope you'll be comfortable here.

Lukas: U-Uh, thanks, Lena. I-I'm sure I will.

Lena nods as she walks to Fred and Daphne.

Lena: Right this way.

Lena ushered as she motioned to her left before she led Fred and Daphne to his room.

Once there, Lena opened the blinds, showing a beautiful sunset, and turned to Fred.

Lena: As the same thing I said to Lukas, you might be comfortable here.

Fred: Thanks, Lena.

Lena goes to the other door and opens it.

Lena: And this is your room, Ms. Blake.

Once Daphne's inside, she took a look around the room and saw the majestic beauty of it all.

Daphne: Thanks, Miss...

Daphne began as she turned around only to notice that Lena was not there.

At Lukas' room.

Lukas: [sets his bag down as he lies down on bed] Well, one way to spend the day.

Lulu meows as she snuggles Lukas. Lukas pets Lulu as he's still trying to deny the fact that Lulu is a ghost cat.

Lukas: I gotta call Grandpa.

Lukas reaches to his pocket to pull out his phone as he dials the number.

Lukas: Wait. He barely knows how to work a phone.[Looks at the mirror] Duh.

Lukas goes to the mirror and pulls out the Encantus as he flips through the pages before stopping at it.

Lukas: There it is.

He holds his ring in front of the mirror, causing the glass to slowly form into clouds before slowly forming into a different image.

Lukas: Grandpa. Can you hear me?

Merlin: Lukas my boy, you have reached the communication spell.

The clouds formed into Merlin in the secret backroom.

Merlin: So, what's the matter?

Lukas: There's something up with this island, and I found this kitten, but it would turn out to be a ghost cat.

Merlin: Really? Hmm. I sense strange magic on this island.

Lukas: Well, this ring seems to sense that as well.

Merlin: I see.

Lukas: Ever heard of a man named Morgan Moonscar?

That said, made Merlin gain a serious look.

Merlin: Indeed I have, I know him from my time.

[Flashback]

The screen slowly fades around Merlin, showing him to be on the shore as he walks across the sand.

Merlin: He was only known for the moon-shaped scar on his left eye, but there was a secret that no one knew except those in the world of magic.

As Merlin said, Moonscar stood in front of his ship stoically, with the wind blowing, showing the particular-looking symbol on the right side of his head, a pentagram star.

Lukas: What happened?

Merlin: He, is one of the many people, who devoted their lives to Morgana, He was promised fame when she marked him with her star.

Lukas: But instead, she tricked him.

Merlin: Yes, as he came far away, in hopes of gaining distance from her, and keeping the riches she gave him, little does he know that the marking on him was made as precautions for Morgana.

Moonscar moves his hair to hide the marking, getting off the boat as he and his crew walk to the beach, traveling across the forest Moonscar clings onto his head a bit, hearing the voice he doesn't want to hear.

[End of Flashback]

Merlin: He later on died, but his spirit is stuck as Morgana cursed him and his entire crew, stuck in limbo.

Lukas: [looks at Lulu] I guess you're stuck in limbo, huh?

Lulu meows and cuddles Lukas.

Lukas: [to Merlin] Grandpa, how do I end this? The curse.

Merlin: The only way to end the curse, is to break the source of the power.

Lukas: And how do I find the source?

Merlin: Let your ring be your guide, and it'll show you the way.

Lukas: Ok. Thanks.[End the communication spell]

???: [outside] Lulu... Lulu... Lulu...

The kitten perks up hearing the voice, making Lukas hear it as well.

Lukas looks out the window and sees a little girl walking in the woods.

Lukas: What the-

Lena: Lukas.

Lukas: Ah! [He turns to see Lena] Oh it's just you, Lena, almost scared me.

Lena: Something wrong?

Lukas: It's nothing, thought I heard something outside.

Lena smiled at him.

Lena: Well, there will be nothing to worry about, Lukas.

Lena walks up to him.

Lena: Nothing to worry about, at all.

Lukas: Uh, right.

Lena smiles as she slowly places her hand on Lukas' cheek.

Lukas: Lena-

Lena: [places her finger on Lukas' lips] Shhhh, it'll be alright.

Lukas blushes deeply then Lena smiles as she gets closer.

Lukas: [mind] This feels...[saw his ring glowing for some reason]

She gets close to Lukas, and her lips are close to his while she closes her eyes.

Lukas: [blushes] Uh, we should head for dinner.

Lena: Indeed we shall.[leaves the room while swaying her hips]

Lukas: [quietly] That was close.

Lulu meows and cuddles Lukas to comfort him, at which he pets her. Suddenly, a ghost appeared in the mirror.

Lukas: Whoa, what the?!

Ghost: Beware!

Lukas: [screams]

Lulu reows at the spirit as they both leave until... He accidentally bumps his head.

Lukas: Ow.

He looks back to see the spirit is gone. The group hurries to Lukas

Shaggy: Zoinks! Like, you ok, Luke?

Lukas: I'm alright, guys, don't worry about it.

Velma: What happened?

Lukas: It's just, that I thought I saw something coming out of the mirror that scared me.

Lena: [check his head] Oh my. You're hurt.

Lukas: I'll be fine, don't worry.

The dragon ring started glowing again. Lukas looks at his ring confused before it glows down. At the dinner table, everyone was gathered as the food was served.

Daphne: Your dining room is beautiful, Simone.

Simone: Thank you, Daphne, but I'm afraid your dog will have to eat in the kitchen.

Scooby: Rog, rhere?

Shaggy: [gets up as he picks up Scooby] Like, come on old buddy, we'll chow down in the kitchen.

However, Lukas saw that as a problem.

Lukas: Uh, that's gonna be a problem, Shaggy, what with the cats eating there and all.

Lukas worried, unintentionally letting Scooby in on it.

Scooby: Rats?

Lukas: Yes, you did see the bowls with cat food there, right?

Scooby: Rokay.

Shaggy: Like, we'll mind the cats there.

Everyone eats their food. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, six cats were spotted, enjoying their meal from their bowls.

Scooby: Rats!

Scooby exclaimed before he snarled. Shaggy holds him on the collar, trying his best to restrain him, but he gets out and chases the cats. Back in the dining room, there was another conversation at hand.

Lukas: Before we left, I saw the back of my mirror to have the words on the back, belonging to another one.

Daphne: Like what?

Lukas: Belonging to another person who came here.

Simone: I see.

Lukas: [mentally] Either he was also cursed by Morgana, or he came here and got infected by Moonscar's curse.

???: Lulu... Lulu... Lulu... Where are you, Lulu...?

Lukas: [heard a voice] That voice. It's her...

Lulu perks up as she runs through the wall.

Lukas: I uh, I'll be back.

Lukas gets up from his chair and then Scooby bumps into him. Scooby noticed a white cat in Simone's arms.

Scooby: Rat!

Scooby exclaimed before he snarled again as the white cat hissed, much to Simone's worry.

Lukas: Easy, Scoob!

Simone: This is quite enough! The dog will have to eat outside!

Scooby: Routside?! Ruh-uh!

Shaggy: Like, there's a dead guy out there!

Lena: May I make a suggestion?

Outside of the house, Shaggy and Scooby are in the mystery machine with the big pot. Later, inside the Mystery Machine, the duo were getting ready to enjoy boiled crawfish.

Shaggy: Like, this is a lot quieter, buddy. And Lena even made us a special dish to go.

Shaggy spoke as he opened the lid and grabbed a crawfish before sucking on it and then tossing the empty piece out.

Shaggy: Mmm. Nothing like a good old-fashioned crawfish boil.

Scooby: Rrawfish.

Scooby spoke after he slurped his tongue.

Then, Shaggy sucked on another before Scooby did the same and alternated once before Shaggy grabbed another.

Shaggy: These crawfish sure are tasty.

Shaggy admitted as he pulled a crawfish in half while Scooby began poking his back, prompting him to turn around before Scooby ate the meat when he wasn't looking before Shaggy just ate the shell, baffling him.

Shaggy: Like not much meat on this crawdad.

Scooby picks up a handful of crawdads eats them, and spits out the shells, licking his paw after.

Then, Shaggy spoke to Scooby as he handed out a biscuit.

Shaggy: Here, buddy. Have a biscuit.

Shaggy suggested as he handed one to Scooby.

Scooby: Rhanks.

Scooby later eats the whole plate.

Shaggy: Something tells me you're getting the best of this meal.

Then, they looked outside to notice a bunch of cats on a tree.

Scooby: Ruh-roh. Rats!

Scooby shouted upon noticing them.

Shaggy: Like, it's hard to enjoy a meal with a bunch of eyes staring at you.

Shaggy admitted as Scooby snarled again. The cats were on top of the van, while Shaggy buckled himself and Scooby in.

Shaggy: Like, sit tight, old buddy.

Then, the cats suddenly began looking down at the front windshield of the Mystery Machine, prompting Scooby to snarl at them, worrying the others.

Shaggy: I'll find us a peaceful place to eat.

Shaggy assured before Shaggy then drove the Mystery Machine away from the mansion, shaking the cats off the van, earning Scooby's raspberry at the cats as they could only watch as they crossed the bridge.

At Lukas' room.

Lukas: Lulu, where are you?

Lulu meows as she appears behind Lukas.

Lukas: There you are, had me worried.

???: Lulu...

Lukas: Hello, who's there?

Lulu meows to Lukas.

Lukas: You want me to follow you?

The kitten nods as she walks, prompting Lukas to follow.

Lukas: Man, alright.

Lukas follows the kitten through the hallway.

Velma: Lukas, where are you going?

Lukas: Just going for a walk.

Lulu meows and Lukas follows the kitten.

Lukas: I'll be back.

Lukas is outside as he continues to follow the ghost cat in the darkest part of the woods.

Lukas: [gulps] I hope you know where you're going.

Lukas follows the kitten as he hears the whispers.

Lukas: [fear] Mommy.

Lukas and Lulu go further as more whispers are heard. Meanwhile, Velma spoke with the others.

Velma: What I'd like to find out is why these ghosts want us off the island.

Fred: It's not ghosts, Velma. It's just guys in masks, and they're probably after the pirate's treasure.

Velma: Or, covering up a smuggling operation.

Fred: Or, maybe there's oil under the island.

Simone: [gasps] Oh my.

Daphne: Really guy, for once can't you accept that maybe some mysteries have no rational explanation?

Fred: That sounds like Lukas would say.

Daphne: Speaking of which, where is he?

Meanwhile...

Lukas: Ok. Just keep on walking. Walking in the creepiest forest. Full of whispers

Lulu meows.

Lukas: Huh?

???: Lulu... Are you here...?

Lukas tries to find the voice as he turns around and sees the little girl. She appears to be three years old.

Lukas: Uuum, hello?

???: Lulu.

The kitten meows as she goes to her.

Lukas: What's your name?

???: Break the curse.

Lukas: You know about the curse, you came here before?

Then suddenly the little girl is actually... a ghost.

???: Mister. Please. Help us.

Lukas: This is the part where I run away, screaming.[fear/running and screaming]

The little girl and Lulu follow him.

Lukas: This is too much for me!

Lukas kept running until he bumped into Shaggy and Scooby.

Lukas: Scooby, Shaggy?!

Shaggy: Like, come on, Luke! We gotta run!

Lukas: Run? Run from what?

Lukas heard groaning and moaning, he turned as he paled in shock to see what was scaring them.

Lukas:

He sees the zombies slowly going to him.

Lukas: WAIT FOR ME!

Lukas followed Shaggy and Scooby. They quickly get into the Mystery Machine and start it.

Lukas: Drive, drive, drive!

Shaggy turns the keys as the van moves around. It drives fast away from the zombies.

Lukas: I think we lost them.

A thud was heard as the zombie's face was in front of the window.

Lukas, Shaggy, and Scooby: AHH!!!

Shaggy quickly floors it as the zombie launches off and drives. The zombie gets up from the ground.

Lukas: Get us out of here!

Shaggy: Like, you don't have to tell me twice!

Suddenly, the Mystery Machine gets stuck as the zombies draw near.

Lukas, Shaggy, and Scooby: AAAAAAHH!!!!!

Three of them jumped out of the van and ran away. Lukas suddenly got lost.

Lukas: Shaggy?! Scooby?! Guys?!

Lukas quickly runs to find them as he can hear the zombies. Meanwhile, back inside, Fred was eating a piece of Lena's pecan pie.

Fred: Mmm! Hey, we should do a segment on Lena's pecan pie, Daph. It's supernatural!

Daphne: You are so corny.

They all heard screaming from outside.

Fred, Daphne, and Velma: Now what?

Lukas: [outside] Help!

Velma: That's Lukas, he sounds troubled.

Then, the white cat hopped off Simone's lap.

Simone: I told you the hauntings were just beginning.

Fred: Uh, if you ladies excuse me.

Fred spoke as he got the camera ready before walking out with Fred and Daphne, but not before Simone turned to Lena, who then spoke to them.

Simone: Lena, get them some lanterns.

Lena: Right away. But, please, Fred. You must be careful. And make sure Lukas is ok.

Fred: [nods] We'll make sure he'll make it.

At the swamp area, they went looking for the three.

Velma: Lukas! Scooby! Shaggy!

They heard leaves ruffling.

Velma: Guys! [They look to see Beau coming out]

Fred: So it's you. Where's Lukas, Scooby, and Shaggy?

Beau: Your crazy friends are near the bayou, screaming about zombies, but I didn't see any. And as for Lukas, he seems to have got lost from them.

Fred: If anything happens to our friends-

Beau: They won't, especially your friend of yours Lukas seems to be a fighter.

Daphne: Let's split up and look for Lukas, Shaggy, and Scooby.

Fred: Good idea.

Daphne: I'll go with Beau.

Fred: Bad idea.

Velma: I'll go with Beau. [Whispers to Fred] I won't let him out of my sight.

Meanwhile, Beau and Velma walk through the woods.

Velma: Scooby, Shaggy, Lukas!

Beau: [grabs her arm] Hey. Why are you treating me like I'm a suspect?

Velma: Because you are.

Velma let's go of him.

Velma: Lukas, Shaggy, Scooby! [Beau grabs her by the arm again] Hey, hey let me go!

Beau grabs a rock, causing Velma to gasp to fear the outcome, only to find out that Beau threw it at the ground which shows a wet ground before sinking.

Beau: Quicksand.

Velma: Jinkies. Thanks. But, you're still a suspect.

Beau picks up the lantern and continues to walk off.

Later, Fred and Daphne arrive at the Mystery Machine where the tracks are. And find the crawdad shells coming out, causing Daphne to panic.

Daphne: What is it?

Fred: Crawdads.

Lukas: Fred! Daphne!

They turn to see Lukas running to them.

Fred: Lukas, you ok.

Lukas: Boy, I'm glad to see you guys.

Daphne: We've gotten worried about you.

Fred: Especially Lena.

Lukas: She did?

Then, a zombie's hand touched Daphne's shoulder, prompting her to turn around to see it before grabbing the zombie by the arm and then flipping it to the ground near the back of the Mystery Machine.

Lukas: [fear] Uh-oh.

Fred: Daphne, are you...

Daphne: I can handle myself, thank you.

Then, Daphne pulls out Shaggy and Scooby. Shaggy and Scooby: [sees the zombie] Aah!

Fred: Take it easy, you two. It's just a mask.

Lukas: [fear] Fred, it's not a mask! It's a real zombie!

Fred: Still bad at lying, Lukas.

Fred responded before Daphne proceeded to unmask him, only to find it difficult as Fred started recording with his camera.

Daphne: If this is a mask, Fred, it's a pretty darn good one.

Lukas: [fear] Guys...

Fred: Ha! Good one? It's the fakest, cheesiest mask I've ever seen.

Daphne: Really? But it feels real.

Lukas: [fear] Guys...

Daphne responded before she brushed her hands off her jacket in disgust.

Fred: You're just not pulling hard enough.

Lukas: [fear] Guys...

Daphne: Oh, really. Well, if you're that sure, why don't you pull it yourself, Mr. Macho?

Fred: Sure. Hold this, Shaggy.

Fred spoke as he handed the camera to Shaggy.

Lukas: [fear] Fred, you're making a mistake!

Shaggy shivers in fear, shaking the camera.

Fred: Either you hold it still or give it to either Lukas or Daphne.

Shaggy quickly gives it to Lukas, and he holds it to record it. Fred neared the zombie and began the "unmasking". Only to struggle as the head barely even comes off.

Fred: It's the fisherman!

Lukas: Not him!

Fred: It's the ferryman!

Lukas: Not him either!

Fred: Maybe it's...

Fred began before he inadvertently pulled the zombie's head off.

Fred: Real!

Fred stated before he exclaimed in disgust and passed it around like a ball as it was passed to Daphne, then Shaggy, followed by Lukas, and then Scooby.

Lukas: You think I'm lying, now?!

The zombie gets up.

Fred: It must be animatronic!

Slowly putting its head on, while harsh winds blow.

Daphne: Fred, are you getting all this?

The light then touched down into the pond again, begetting more undead zombies.

Shaggy: Like, it's deja vu, all over again! And I think we all know what to do, right, Scoob?

Scooby: Yeah! Run!

Scooby exclaimed before the duo ran, only to be cornered by more zombies that were just riding from the grave, or in this case, the pond.

Shaggy: Yikes! It's a regular zombie jamboree!

Daphne: And I suppose they're all animatronics too!

Fred: Well, it is a possibility, Daph!

Lukas: That's just the denial talking!

Suddenly, the familiar screams were heard from the mansion.

Fred: It's Lena! We left her and Simone unprotected!

Lukas turns around to see more slowly going towards them.

Lukas: They're everywhere!

Shaggy: Like, what are we going to do now?!

Lukas: Just run, man! Run!

They all split up. The camera fell into the quicksand.

Fred: The camera!

Daphne: Fred, run!

The zombies slowly chase them as they run. Then, they did just that as the zombies lurked nearer and Scooby and Shaggy then ran across logs and even a few gators, one of which snapped his jaws at Scooby but missed.

Then, they ran into a few Civil War zombies before they ran away from them after they pointed to where they should run before they ran off. Scooby found himself stuck in a pond.

Shaggy grabs a vine, only to panic to see that it's a snake, a vine was handed to Shaggy, only to reveal it to be a zombie, and he quickly swings to pull Scooby out.

Meanwhile, Daphne and Fred were running back to the mansion before they came across a long tree trunk, went underneath it, and hit behind it before they moved the tree trunk back and let go, hitting the zombies and inadvertently removing the upper bodies, much to their surprise, in the process.

Shaggy and Scooby run across the water, only for Shaggy to get caught by a hook, reeling him and Scooby in as they bump into trees, with the fisher revealing to be Snakebite Scruggs.

Lukas runs as he can see the zombies behind him, he quickly gains distance to aim his ring at the zombies, causing a glow to make the root wall appear. But more zombies appeared right behind him.

Lukas: Yipe! [He quickly slides under them before getting back up to run]

Lukas kept running as he screamed "I hate this island!" He runs while certain spirits watch him.

With Beau and Velma, as they walk to check the bush, Velma moves the leaves to see Fred and Daphne.

Shaggy and Scooby found themselves in a cave where they saw voodoo dolls of Beau and their friends, but not Lukas. They started moving them, not knowing they were controlling the others from outside.
