Scooby-Doo : Mystery In Seoul

8

The spacious auditorium was buzzing with anticipation as the afternoon sun streamed through the high windows, casting a warm glow over the stage. Seventeen, the renowned K-pop group, was gearing up for their final rehearsal before their much-anticipated concert. The seats in the auditorium were sparsely filled with staff, crew members, and a few lucky fans who had won exclusive access to this pre-show rehearsal. Among them were Scooby and Shaggy, who had somehow managed to win tickets despite not being typical fans of the genre. However, they couldn't help but get swept up in the excitement around them.

As the lights dimmed and the music started, the atmosphere in the auditorium transformed. The stage came alive with a burst of energy as Seventeen launched into their first number, "Clap." The group's dynamic choreography and catchy tunes instantly captivated the audience. Scooby and Shaggy, who were initially hesitant and out of their element, soon found themselves tapping their feet and nodding their heads to the rhythm. The infectious energy of Seventeen's performance was impossible to resist.Scooby, sitting next to Shaggy, wagged his tail enthusiastically, his eyes following the synchronized movements of the dancers on stage. Shaggy, with a grin on his face, leaned over and whispered, "Like, Scoob, these guys are really something else! I can see why they're so popular." Scooby responded with a playful bark, clearly enjoying the show.

The group moved seamlessly from one song to the next, each performance more electrifying than the last. The crowd cheered and clapped along, the excitement in the room reaching a fever pitch. Seventeen's leader, S.Coups, took the mic and addressed the audience. "Thank you all for being here today. We're so excited to share our music with you. Let's make this a day to remember!"

The group launched into their next song, "Aju Nice," a fan favorite known for its upbeat tempo and intricate choreography. As the song progressed, the members of Seventeen interacted with the audience, waving and smiling at the fans in the front row. The energy in the auditorium was electric, and it seemed like nothing could go wrong.

However, as the rehearsal reached its climax, disaster struck. Without warning, the stage lights flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows across the performers. The sound system crackled with interference, distorting the music and causing a wave of confusion to sweep through the crowd. Suddenly, the music came to an abrupt halt, and everyone was plunged into darkness.

A collective gasp echoed through the auditorium as the audience tried to make sense of what was happening. The room was filled with murmurs of concern and confusion. Shaggy, feeling a sense of unease, turned to Scooby and said, "Like, what's going on, Scoob? This doesn't feel right." Scooby, his ears perked up and his tail stiff, let out a low growl. His instincts told him that something was amiss.

On stage, the members of Seventeen stood frozen, their expressions a mix of surprise and worry. The crew members rushed around, trying to restore power and figure out what had caused the sudden blackout. Amidst the chaos, a faint, eerie glow appeared at the back of the stage, catching everyone's attention. The glow grew brighter, and soon a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, moving towards the center of the stage.The figure, draped in a long, flowing cloak, raised its arms dramatically and spoke in a deep, echoing voice. "You have disturbed the peace of this place. Leave now, or face the consequences!" The ominous message sent a chill down everyone's spine, and a sense of dread filled the room.

Scooby and Shaggy exchanged nervous glances. Shaggy, his voice trembling, whispered, "Zoinks, Scoob! We should alert the gang on what's going on. It's the first time the ghost has shown up while we are here." Scooby nodded in agreement, his eyes wide with fear. Despite their apprehension, they knew they had to do something to help.

As the figure continued to speak, the auditorium was filled with an unnatural wind, causing the curtains to billow and the papers on the crew's desks to scatter. The audience was on edge, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, one of the stage crew managed to restore the emergency lights, casting a dim glow over the room. The figure, startled by the sudden light, retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

The crew quickly regained their composure and began working to restore the rest of the lighting and sound systems. Seventeen, although shaken by the incident, remained on stage, determined to continue the rehearsal. S.Coups took the mic and addressed the audience once more. "We apologize for the interruption. We're going to take a short break to ensure everything is working properly. Thank you for your patience."As the audience began to relax, Scooby and Shaggy decided to investigate the mysterious figure. They made their way towards the stage, hoping to find clues that would shed light on what had happened. As they approached, they noticed a small, glittering object on the floor near the back of the stage. Shaggy picked it up and examined it closely. It was a pendant shaped like a crescent moon, intricately designed and shimmering in the light.

"Hey, Scoob, check this out," Shaggy said, showing the pendant to his canine companion. Scooby sniffed the pendant, his nose twitching as he detected a strange scent. He barked excitedly, indicating that they were onto something. Together, they decided to follow the scent trail, hoping it would lead them to the source of the mystery.

As they followed the trail, they found themselves backstage, where the crew was busy checking the equipment and discussing the strange occurrence. Scooby and Shaggy carefully navigated through the maze of wires, lights, and props, following the faint scent left behind by the mysterious figure.The trail led them to a small room at the far end of the backstage area. The door was slightly ajar, and a soft light glowed from within. Scooby and Shaggy exchanged wary glances before slowly pushing the door open. Inside, they found a makeshift workstation with various electronic devices and a large monitor displaying a complex schematic of the auditorium's lighting and sound systems.In the center of the room stood a table, full of clothes, to be more specific a black hoodie and a pair of glasses.
