G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! and the Ghoul School

Storming the Castle/Mirror Madness

While Midnight Breeze sang her song of sadness, trying to remind herself of her mother and her sister, our group of intrepid heroes finally made it to Revolta's castle, which was just as gloomy and creepy as they thought it would be.

As the others stood outside the door, Shaggy and Zipp tugged at the lock with all their might, but to no avail. "Phew... this pad is really locked, you guys," Zipp panted, but Scrappy merely patted Matches on the head. "Matches will take care of it. Won't you, Matches?"

That's just what Matches intended to do-- he marched right over to the lock and breathed a mass amount of fire on it, but when the fiery light finally cleared, the lock was still in tact. "Zoinks!" Shaggy realized. "Like, this lock must be flameproof!"

"Allow me, Shaggy," Scooby volunteered, moving toward the lock. That's when he fidgeted his tail into the lock a bit, moving it around until he was able to open the lock with ease. "Bingo!"

"Whoo-whee! That is one talented tail, Scoob!" Pipp took a picture, and this made the Great Dane giggle in amusement. The group slowly pushed open the doors, trying to avoid making any loud noises while heading into the dark enclosed space. "Gee, this place is humongous!" Scrappy spoke. "Scrappy's right," said Hitch. "If we're ever gonna find Misty and the girls, we're gonna have to split up."

As Scrappy, Matches, Sunny and Izzy walked off in one direction, and Hitch and Pipp in another, Shaggy chuckled nervously as he, Scooby and Zipp were the only ones left. "Like, I was afraid he was going to say that."

"Me too," Scooby nodded fearfully. "Come on, you chickens," Zipp pushed Shaggy and Scooby away from the doors. "Let's find our friends and get out of this place."

The three friends slunk through the hallways of the castle, looking for any sign of where the girls may be. As he walked behind Zipp, Scooby suddenly noticed a covered item on the wall nearby. When he uncovered it, he found it to be a tall mirror, but when he looked closer at it, his reflection had a horrifying, MONSTROUS appearance. "SHAGGY!!!"

"Like, what's the big idea, Scooby?" Shaggy asked the frightened dog as he pushed them in front of the mirror. But Scooby only responded with two words. "Mirror monster!!"

"Oh, relax, Scoob," Zipp said as she and Shaggy were naturally unfazed by their monstrous mirror reflections. "It's only a mirror."

Shaggy even made a couple of funny faces in the mirror to prove it. "See? It's just a silly reflection
like they have at the carnival. It makes you look weird, but it can't hurt you. "

But something behind them immediately made Scooby volt out of fright. "Scooby, come baaaack!!!"

Turns out, Zipp and Shaggy's monster reflections actually pulled them inside the mirror, and this allowed THEM to jump out of it. "Hey!" Zipp cried, placing her hooves on the mirror. "Let us outta here!"

But Shaggy's mirror monster only cackled before Zipp's reflection smirked. "Why should the heir of the Zephyr Heights throne let some PEASANTS out? I am the future queen! You will all bow down before me, just like all the world will! Mwah ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

And just like that, the mirror monsters left them alone. "Oh no... that's not my mirror MONSTER... that's the version of myself that is totally opposite of me! Our friends are in trouble!" Zipp tried pushing against the mirror. "Come on, Shag-- if we don't get out of here, that twisted me will have all my friends twisted around!!"

Meanwhile, the Grim Creeper had Tanis mop the hallways until Revolta was done with her potions, and was watching her every move, making sure she did it perfectly. "That's it. Revolta likes a clean lair. Hey! You missed a spot!"
