G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! and the Ghoul School

Captured! (Part 2)/A Rescue Mission Begins

At the same time that Misty, Elsa and Tanis were helping the Calloway cadets out of the quicksand, Phanty was laughing her head off as she ran across the bog, not even bothered by the fact sbe was running through smelly, dark bog water. "Bogs never bother me! Of course, my phantom feet never get wet!"

She cackled as she ran past the shack where Winnie had previously been hypnotized by the spider-bats, and Winnie noticed her ghoul friend coming by. "Oh, Phanty...!"

Phantasma didn't notice her friend calling out to her in an intimidating voice, and turned around and started toward the she-wolf. "What are you doing in there, Winnie?"

"Hiding," the hypnotized Winnie responded droningly. "Come see."

She stepped back into the shack, causing Phanty to giggle and follow her inside. "I just love hide-and-shriek!"

But what she didn't realize was that the spider-bats were waiting to enchant her with that same spell they used on Winnie, causing her mind to go completely blank. "Yes, Revolta... I will obey..."

At the same time, all the ponies except Misty had been reuniting with Shaggy and the dogs, and Scooby was currently on top of Shaggy's shoulders, and Scrappy was on top of Scooby's shoulders, so he could try and spot some of the girls from higher up. "No sign of the girls, Uncle Scooby!"

"Uh oh!" Scooby said nervously, and Shaggy gulped in the same manner. "Like, I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about this bog."

"Wait, Shaggy!" Hitch observed, seeing Sibella flying overhead. "Maybe Sibella has good news!"

Sibella saw her teachers and ponies down below and began screeching, the only way she could communicate in her bat form. Luckily, Shaggy managed to guess what it might mean. "Does that mean you found Winnie?"

Sibella chirped and screeched rapidly before she flew off in the opposite direction, and this caused Zipp to grin. "Come on! I think she wants us to follow!"

She and her sister began to follow Sibella from the air, while the others followed from the ground. But what they DIDN'T realize was that Scooby was still on Shaggy's shoulders, and when he ran under a tree, Scooby was sent spinning and Scrappy flew off his uncle's shoulders and onto the ground, watching his uncle flying through the air. "There goes Uncle Scooby-- wanting to be first again!"

But when Scooby landed in the bushes, he also landed on a very irritated Matches, and immediately fled to avoid getting hit by Matches' dragon fire. Shaggy sighed at seeing this, turning to the Great Dane pup with a frown. "Like, I wish your uncle would learn to stop playing with Matches."

Sibella flew around the swamp as fast as her wings could take her, looking for any signs of Winnie and her other friends... when she suddenly spotted Winnie and Phantasma down by the shack. "Yes, Sibella. We're here," Winnie waved from down below. "Come down."

"We want to show you something," Phantasma droned on. But as Sibella flew closer, that's when Winnie began to spring her own trap. "Get her!"

Sibella screeched in panic as the spider-bats flew right at her, and flew as fast as she could to try and get away while the Grim Creeper watched from below. "Don't let her escape!"

At the same time, Scooby scurried to get away from Matches and eventually hid in the shack, watching as Matches ran past. Now the Great Dane could sigh and giggle in relief... he was finally safe. Then, he felt a tap on his shoulder and yelped as he turned around. Luckily it was only Winnie... but in his relief to find she was safe, Scooby didn't notice the red glow in her eyes. "Hello, Winnie."
