(I made a small change. You'll understand when you see it. If you remember that is.)

It's been a long time since the night Mayor Jones was arrested and the gang split up once again. What is supposed to be a peaceful night in Crystal Cove later turns horror. Male: "Run for your lives! He's back!" he screams as he runs for his life. Coming out from behind the Crystal Cove Spooky Museum is a giant man-baby clown driving a baby carriage car. What the hell? He shakes a bottle filled with some purple liquid and throws it in Fruitmeirs. The people inside run out, but not all of them make it out before the bottle explodes. The sheriff eventually comes across the culprit, but gets an explosive bottle thrown at him. It explodes next to his back right tire and throws the car a couple feet in the air, damaging it.

The monster stops his carriage in front of the sheriff's car, who looks in horror as the baby moves out of the shadow. Bronson: "[horrified] Man-baby not real! Man-baby not real!" Clown: "[crying] You don't like Crybaby Clown? Ooh hoo hoo hoo! That hurts my feelings. Maybe you're just hungry. Drink up!" he says as he tossed an explosive bottle in his car, landing right in between his legs. Bronson: "Mommy." he says before diving out of his car before the bottle explodes. Crybaby Clown drives off into the night after throwing another explosive bottle near City Hall, where the new mayor, Janet Nettles, watches on. Janet: "[sighs] What have I gotten myself into?" Suddenly, a cloaked figure hiding its face steps out of the shadows. ???: "[voice changer] If you ask me, I'd say it's a mystery." "Who-Who are you?"

The figure throws a folder on a desk that has the pictures of Mystery Incorporated inside. "They call themselves Mystery Incorporated. The dog's locked up on a farm upstate. The one with purple hair was in prison with his two siblings, but were later bailed out by the Hex Girls. You're on your own tracking down the others. My suggestion? Start tonight. You want this mystery solved, bring them home..." Janet watches the figure open her window. "...or your run as the new mayor of Crystal Cove is going to be short-lived." it says before it jumps out the window.

We're now looking at a rather thin hallway with three doors that have barred windows. Inside one of the rooms is Scooby-Dooby-Doo, throwing a ball to one end of the room then catching it with his mouth. Wait, time out. Wasn't he supposed to be at a farm? Well, he is. The farmer eventually comes back with a shotgun at night time to bring him back to the barn. Farmer: "Hope you had a nice time in the hole, dog." he says before slamming the barn doors shut. Scooby: "Hmph! Trying to tell me what to do with my life." he says before seeing his cow friend, who's just minding its own business while eating hay. Scooby: "Look, I had to try to escape, okay?" he walks over to his hay bed and looks at the framed picture of him and his friends next to the Mystery Machine. "I made a promise to my friends because if I don't, he wins." he says as he flips the frame over to show a taped picture of Professor Pericles. "Well, what would you do?"

The cow says nothing while still chewing its hay.  "Fine. Stay here and let them milk you. Nobody milks Scooby-Doo. Sooner or later, I'll escape." He gets up from his hay bed and moves a loose board to get out of the barn He waits for the spotlight one of the towers to move away to sneak his way to a tree, before climbing up it then back down to sneak to the electric fence. Once at the fence, he uses a stick he got from the tree to hold it up so he can crawl under. Unfortunately, the stick breaks and the fence falls on Scooby's tail, shocking him. Alarms suddenly go off and the farmer walks out of his home with his shotgun, angry. Scooby took this as his cue to leave. Farmer: "Tarnation! That's it! Come back here! I got a double-barreled surprise for ya!" he shouts before firing the gun.
