The Case of the Monstrous Miscreant

==Summary==
When the gang hear about a werebeast lurking the area of a haunted old island, they head out to solve the mystery of Zombie Island.
==Script==
(We open on a man looking around for something)
Man:I'll find that treasure and be rich.
(A monster runs by and the man goes "Hm" and sees nothing and goes back to looking around for the treasure and something pounces on him)
Man:What the?!
(He feels that something has scratched him across the back we then blackout and fad to the gang with a trapped ape man who is trapped under a pile of suits of armor Twilight unmasks it to be)
Snails:It's Carl the stuntman.
Spike:Carl the stuntman?
Sci-Twi:Yeah. He was mad at the director for not casting him in as the lead. So he used the Ape Man of Forbidden Mountain to frighten away all the cast and crew.
Snails:But he said the Ape Man threw him in the trunk.
Sci-Twi:He lied. He locked himself in that trunk (Close up to Carl as Twilight removes his gloves)And what we thought was real animal fur, was really fake animal hair. See.
(Cuts to angle of Twilight looking down at Carl)
Carl:(Grunts)And I woulda gotten away with it too (Back to wide shot scene)If it wasn't for that purple dog AND YOU MEDDLING KIDS!
(Cuts to Spike who plays with the mask and gets scared we then fade to daytime at the malt shop where they read the Canterlot Press with their case being all over the front page and it's like the one in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost reading "CANTERLOT MYSTERY CLUB CRACKS CASE OF THE APE MAN OF FORBIDDEN MOUNTAIN")
Big Macintosh:Hey listen to this gang. Canterlot Mystery Club crack case of the Ape Man of Forbidden Mountain. Carl the stuntman taken into custody by police for endangering cast and crew who now return to the production and Canter Zoom gives gang of Canterlot Mystery Club parts in the film.
(Cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:That was quite a mystery.
(Cuts to Spike)
Spike:Yeah and we have role in a Canter Zoom film for the second time. The first was the Daring Do movie.
(Cuts to Rarity who agrees with him)
Rarity:Yes and this time Snails and Big Mac join us instead of Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer.
(Snails sucks his malt)
Snails:Now that is goooood malt. That is a goooood malt I mean.
Big Macintosh:Hey y'all we might be handed our next mystery. Listen. Monstrous Miscreant strikes again. Local people and foreign people from all over the world have gone disappearing in search for the lost treasure of Morgan Moonscar.
(Twilight continues)
Sci-Twi: Last night a man was attacked by a were cat and had a big scratch on his back and was pronounced dead.
(Mrs. Cake comes over with sandwich material for Snails and Spike they then take the opportunity to make their usual Shaggy and Scooby-Doo sandwiches)
Spike:Let's see. Gummy worms, tater tots and a little ketchup bladder. Oh and liverwurst, peppercorn and gyro meat.
(They do the cheers thing then devour them both and make a clownishly oversized sandwich like the diner scene in Scoob! cuts back to the gang)
Sci-Twi: Those poor people. Dying because of this Monstrous Miscreant.
Rarity: We've gotta do something.
Big Macintosh:Don't worry Rare. We'll catch whoever this Monstrous Miscreant.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike who both swallow the sandwich bites)
Snails and Spike:Say what?
(Back to scene Twilight stands up and holds up her finger)
Sci-Twi:Then let's get going.
Big Macintosh:I'll get my camera. We're gonna film this Monstrous Miscreant.
(We blackout and fade to the gang on a ferry heading to the island, the gang stand on the bottom of the deck where the cars are parked)
Snails:Come on Spike, let's go find something to eat. I'm starving.
Spike:Me too.
Rarity:Let's go talk to the captain and ask him how long it'll take to reach the island.
Big Macintosh:Good idea.
(They go up to the control station, Rarity opens the door)
Rarity:Excuse me captain. Where did you say this island was we were going to?
(Cuts to an elderly looking sea captain and with a dramatic effect and music and the way he turns)
Ferry Captain:The darkest reigns of Davy Jones Locker if you ask me.
(Cuts back to the gang who stare at him and after a long pause)
Big Macintosh:Ooook. (Whispers to the girls)And I thought I was having a bad day.
Rarity:You seem scared sir. Are you alright?
(Cuts to outside at the window we see them talking with him, he says)
Ferry Captain:I'm past scared or alright.(Looks back to driving)Tomorrow is my last trip to the island on account of the Monstrous Miscreant. And the Cat Creature.
(Back to the gang)
Rarity:Cat Creature? (To the gang)And I only thought the Monstrous Miscreant was on the island.
Sci-Twi:I think he means a humanoid cat person that walks on two legs and behaves like a cat.
Big Macintosh:Don't worry. I'm sure what the captain refers to cat creatures he's just using slang. He's probably meaning about (Points out the window)Them.
(We pull back to see Snails and Spike act like zombies we see they have sausage strings and big bellies)
Snails:I think we may have reached our sausage limit for the day.
Spike:I agree.
(They throw up on the over the edge and we see the boat arriving at the island and we have a wide shot of it coming to the dock cuts to the captain)
Ferry Captain:We're here. (Turns to the gang)But remember. (Back to scene)I'll be returning at dusk for the last time. (Cuts to him)You'd be wise to be back on board. Or else.
(Cuts to the gang with a long pause)
Rarity:Or else we'll have a great time. (Shoves Big Mac and Twilight out)Ok thanks for the ride.
(She closes door as she shoves the out cuts to them walking on the dock with Big Mac holding the camera filming it and Snails looks around with his finger on his chin not being sure of this and two greeters greet them and act like they've seen a ghost one is a male and the other is a female)
Big Macintosh:Hey look. Native islanders. (Puts hand out to shake with the male greeter)Howdy.
Male Greeter:(Puts flowers on him)Get out.
(Cuts to Big Mac and Rarity)
Rarity:Did he just say to get out?
Big Macintosh:I'm sure it's an island greeting. You know. Like aloha. (To male greeter)Get out to you too.
(Walks off and the female says as she puts flowers on Rarity)
Female Greeter:Get out.
Rarity:Yes get out and have fun.
(Walks off and they tell Snails and Spike)
Male Greeter:Get out.
Snails:That's what we're trying to do. Get out and relax.
Spike:Yeah.
(They walk off and Twilight comes only for the male greeter to stop her)
Male Greeter:Get out. The island is infested with zombies, and if you don't leave you'll become one too!
Sci-Twi:Zombies? I'm only here for the Monstrous Miscreant.
(Walks past them and they look at each other and then back to them and say unisons)
Greeters:(In unison)Tourists.
(Cuts to the gang walking through the woods and up to a mansion)
Rarity:Wow there's our haunted house.
(They walk up to the house)
Rarity:Are you getting all of this Big Mac?
Big Macintosh: Eeyup got it Rare. (Through the camera's POV)Wow this place is crawlin with cats more then cousin Goldie Delicious' place.
(Cuts to Spike and Big Mac)
Spike:Cats? (Takes camera and looks at the cats through the camera's POV and back to him and Big Mac)
Spike:Cats!
(Throws camera and runs off Big Mac catches it)
Big Macintosh:D'whoa!
Snails:Come back Spike!
(Spike chases after the cats like Scooby-Doo did in Zombie Island and chases them all over)
Snails:Spiky-Doo! Stop!
Rarity:Spike! Leave them alone!
(Spike chases them under the house and through a tree)
Spike:Cats. (Snarls and continues the chase) Wait'll I get my paw on you kooky kittens!
(Snails grabs him)
Snails:Gotcha!
(The mysterious Simone Lenoir a slender middle age Caucasian female with chin length blonde hair and green eyes and wears a blue shirt under a white dress and has deep red lipstick and square shaped ear rings and a necklace in the shape of a cat's head)
Simone:What is going on here?
Rarity:We're terribly sorry. We should have held onto him better. We're here to investigate the Monstrous Miscreant that has been troubling you.
Simone:Thank heavens. Help has arrived.
Big Macintosh:Excuse me for asking miss...
Simone:Lenoir, Simone Lenoir. I'm the owner of this island. And perhaps you would keep your dog from chasing my cats.
(Cuts to Spike who looks around)
Spike:(Confused)Dog? Where?
(Cuts back to Big Mac who then continues)
Big Macintosh:Right. Well anyway. I don't mean to ask you Ms. Lenoir but how old his your house?
(Shot like from Zombie Island)
Simone:It has been in my family for generations. (Long shot)It was a pepper plantation. (We move over to the garden)Some of the hottest peppers in Louisiana grow on this island.
(Cuts to Spike and Snails who are happy)
Snails:(Does Shaggy's goofy laugh)We've hit the prevention chill pepper jackpot!
(Cuts to Twilight who talks with Simone)
Sci-Twi:So Ms. Lenoir...Is your house really...?
Simone:(Finishes)Haunted? Yes it is an old house. With restless spirits.
(Snails and Spike look at each other scaredley)
Simone:You're welcome to look around. If you'd like.
Big Macintosh:Thank ya ma'am.
Simone:Do not mention it young man.
Snails:Like do you have a kitchen?
Simone:Of course. But you'll have to do something about your....Dog.
Snails:Like don't worry. Food always keeps Spike occupied.
Simone:If it will keep him from chasing my cats. You're welcome to my kitchen.
Snails:Groovy. Come on Spike.
(They walk into the house and unknown to them a monster thing watches them with its glowing yellow eyes cuts to inside where they are greeted by the two remaining staff members Lena Dupree and Jacques)
Simone:This is only two of my remaining staff. In fact they are my only staff members. This is Jacques.
Jacques:How ya do?
Simone:And this is my chef Lena Dupree.
Lena:Charmed.
Rarity:We better be looking for clues.
Big Macintosh:(Lost in a trance by Lena)Eyup. (Through the camera's POV he zooms in on Lena's hips) Nice.
Lena:Um. My eyes are up here.
(Back to Big Mac who snaps out of it)
Big Macintosh:Oh um dah sorry Ms Lena!
(Rarity looks at him from behind with a steamed look)
Simone:(To Twilight)You'll be staying for the night?
Sci-Twi:Yes ma'am.
Simone:This way to the check in.
(Twilight writes down the gang's names)
Sci-Twi:How come nobody has been checking out ma'am?
Simone:They have. Just in the middle of the night they have.
Sci-Twi:Oh.
(Cuts to kitchen where the guys enter and Spike sniffs at some bowls of food)
Spike:Cat food, yuck!
Snails:(OS)Like forget the cat food Spike.(Cuts to him sniffing in a pot)There's a lot better chow in this kitchen. Mmmm, smells great. (Puts lid back down)It's gumbo isn't it?
Lena:(Pouring lemonade)You do know your food.
Snails:We've traveled the world on our stomachs. Mind if we have a taste.
(Lena leaves with a tray of lemonade)
Lena:Of course not. Let me know how you like it. Help yourself.
(Snails pours some for Spike in a bowl and tastes some himself)
Snails:Mmmm. Not bad. But it needs a little more spice. Don't you think so Spike?
(Spike has the bowl up on his face and puts it down as some gumbo drips from his mouth)
Spike:Uh-huh.
(Cuts to the pantry where Snails turns the light on and takes out a jar of chili peppers)
Snails:These puppies oughta do the trick.
(Cuts to the parlor where the gang are lounging an Big Mac takes a sip of lemonade)
Big Macintosh:Mmm. Delicious lemonade Lena.
Lena:Why thank you.
Rarity:So? How long have you worked for.....?
(The conversation is interrupted by screaming sounds cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:(Gasp)The guys!
(Back to scene they run to them cuts to Spike chugging a pitcher of juice and sighs going "Ah" as it tastes good and pulls it off and he giggles cuts to Snails who chugs a gallon of water and sighs catching his breath saying)
Snails:That was some hot pepper.
(Lena chuckles off screen)
Lena:(OS)Those are Moonscar Island peppers.
(Cuts to the gang)
Simone:I wasn't exaggerating when I said they were the hottest pepper in Louisiana.
(Cuts to Big Mac and Rarity)
Big Macintosh:With all the screamin with thought you mighta seen a ghost!
(Cuts to a shot of them as Lena wipes it up)
Snails:If we do, you'll be the first to know.
(Lena begins to wipe up the mess cuts to Rarity, Big Mac and Simone)
Rarity:Sorry for the interruption Ms. Lenoir.
Simone:Please. Call me Simone. (Walks off)Shall we continue our tour of the house?
Rarity:(Grabs Big Mac's hand and runs off)Great Miss.....(Stops herself and instead of saying "Lenoir" she says)Simone!
(Cuts to them all leaving (Except Lena) Twilight catches up and tells Spike and Snails)
Sci-Twi:Maybe you guys should stay away from those peppers.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike, Snails gets up)
Snails:Right. We'll just stick with the gumbo. (Cuts to Lena who has finish cleaning up the mess)If ya don't mind Lena.
Lena:Of course not. (Cuts to her leaving)I'm glad you like it. Help yourselves.
(Cuts to them they smile and see that the cost is clear they look at the empty hall they begin to eat more peppers)
Snails:Come on I dare you.
Spike:Uh-ah. You first.
Snails:Not chicken are you old buddy, (Jabs at him)Old pal?
(They get cold)
Snails:Brrrrr. That's funny. A second ago I was on fire. And now it's freezing!
(Cuts to Spike who wraps himself too)
Spike:Y-Y-Yeah. F-F-Freezing.
(Back to both of them)
Snails:Tell ya what? We'll split this big one. (Splits it)That'll warm us up.
(Something is carving on the wall they see it and it appears to be a ghostly sword cuts to them they act like Shaggy and Scooby when they saw the same cuts to the library Big Mac films the whole thing and as he does Twilight is admiring the place)
Sci-Twi:Now this is a great library Simone.....
(They hear Snails and Spike screaming cuts to the three friends of the cowards)
Rarity:Now what?
(They run off to the kitchen cuts to inside the kitchen where they don't see them anywhere and there is something coming from the pantry Rarity opens it revealing the scaredies Snails is holding Spike as they shake and shiver and quake and quiver)
Rarity:(OS)Peppers? Again?
(Spike Nods "No")
Spike:Uh-ah. Writing.
(Cuts to them in the doorway)
Sci-Twi:Writing? What writing?
(Back to Snails and Spike Snails points to something)
Snails:L-L-Like ghost writing!
(Cuts to the outside of the pantry they turn to see a message on the wall that reads "Get Out" it is on top of each other)
Snails:(OS)See?! (Dramaticly it cuts to a close up of the message)This place is haunted!
(Back to Big Mac and Rarity)
Rarity:Wow Big Mac get a shot of that!
(He does and cuts to Twilight looking at it as Big Mac comes up to her)
Sci-Twi:Jinkies.
(Back to Rarity brushing her hair and tells Simone)
Rarity:Simone, could you come stand next to me please?
(Cuts to Twilight Rarity enters the frame from the left and Twilight goes away cuts to Big Mac starting the camera and through the camera's POV we see it)
Rarity:Here we are in Ms. Simone Lenoir's kitchen where we have just had our first supernatural experience of Moonscar Mansion. You can feel the chill in the air. (Cuts to up close of her and wind blows through) CUT! (Cuts to her as Simone steps out of the frame)Who opened a window?!
(Cuts to Twilight and Big Mac)
Sci-Twi:Nobody look!
(Cuts to the message and Big Mac reads it)
Big Macintosh:(OS)Beware.
Rarity:Wow! Is this great stuff or what?
(Cuts to Snails and Spike cowering over at the pantry door)
Snails:R-Right. L-Like great.
(Cuts to Simone)
Simone:The haunting might just be starting. After sundown. The ghosts get more restless.
(Cuts to Twilight knocking on the wall)
Sci-Twi:This seems pretty solid.
(Cuts to Rarity brushing her hair)
Rarity:(While brushing her hair)Keep rolling Big Mac. Maybe we'll finally have a ghostly manifestation.
(Cuts to Big Mac filming something else)
Rarity:Big Mac? I'm over here. (Yells)Macintosh Apple! Pay attention!
Big Macintosh:It's Twilight.
(Cuts to her floating in the air she is scared)
Sci-Twi:Whoa.
(Cuts to Big Mac Simone is behind him gasping in shock)
Big Macintosh:We've been levitated before and there's always a magnet or wires somewhere.
(Back to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:No wires here Big Mac.
(Floats up a little higher)
Rarity:Wow. A real case of levitation.
Sci-Twi:Whoa.
(Cuts to Rarity)
Rarity:This just keeps getting better and better.
(Cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:Maybe from where you're standing. (Cuts to the guys as we move through the kitchen to Twilight)Anyone wanna try getting me down?
Snails:(OS)Sure thing. Come on Spike.
(They go and she falls)
Sci-Twi:Nice catch Spike. Thanks.
Spike:(Weakly)You're welcome.
(We fade to the whole gang watching the footage in the library)
Rarity:(In the footage)You can feel the chill in the air. (Wind blows through)CUT! Who opened a window?!
Rarity:Play it again Big Mac. I think I saw something.
Big Macintosh:sure.
(Plays it again)
Rarity:(In footage)Who opened a window?!
(Stops it)
Rarity:There. Can you enhance this shot?
(Back to the gang)
Big Macintosh:Yeah. Let me darken in the image. Bring out the sharpness a bit aaaand...Hey!
(Cuts to Rarity in the footage as it zooms in on a ghostly looking pirate)
Sci-Twi:(OS)It looks like a ghost.
Simone:(OS)It is the Ghost of Morgan Moonscar.
(Cuts to her walking over to the bookcase)
Simone:Here. Let me show you. (Cuts to the photo of the aforementioned pirate when he was alive)This is a portrait of Morgan McReight. The moon shaped scar is why he became better known as Morgan Moonscar.
(The gang (Minus Big Mac) Gather around)
Sci-Twi:That's him alright. And he wants us out.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike)
Snails:Like we'd be happy to get out.
(Spike nods in agreement)
(Cuts back to Twilight Simone and Rarity)
Rarity:A real pirate ghost! Fabulous! I can't thank you enough for opening your haunted house to us Simone!
(Close up of Simone)
Simone:So you're not going to heed Moonscar's threat?
(Back to Rarity)
Rarity:Are you kidding? We don't scare that easily.
(Back to Snails and Spike)
Snails:Like we do.
(Back to full scene where Big Mac joins the conversation)
Big Macintosh:Besides it's probably just a hologram of some guy in a pirate suit.
(Back to Simone Rarity and Twilight)
Rarity:Then why did it only show up on the tape?
Sci-Twi:That's the mystery.
(Back to scene Big Mac says this)
Big Macintosh:But there's always a logical explanation for these things.
(Says that crossing his arms and saying it with a smirk cuts to Simone Rarity and Twilight they hear rumbling)
Simone:What's that?
(Cuts to Snails and Spike)
Snails:Like there's a logical explanation for the growling in our stomachs. We're hungry and we're gonna get some food. To go!
(They run off to the kitchen as Spike says "Yeah!" scene slider comes from the right and Snails takes steaks and a pan and they walk out and Twilight comes in)
Snails:Like what are you doing back here Twilight?
Sci-Twi:I'm gonna have another look at the wall.
(Close up to Snails)
Snails:What's to look at? It's clear enough that ghost wants us out.(Back to scene)Come on Spike, let's go.
Sci-Twi:It isn't hollow but maybe...(Scratches the wall)Hey. (She grabs a spatula and scrapes the stuff off)M-A...
(Lena comes in and becomes shocked)
Lena:(Gasps)What are you doing to my kitchen?!
(Cuts to Twilight and the thing says "MAELSTROM")
Sci-Twi:Jinkies. Guess I got a little carried away.
(We fade to her looking into the book)
Sci-Twi:(OS)Bingo.
(Cuts to scene Rarity is with Simone Jacques and Lena as Big Mac films the word)
Simone:Do you mind telling me why you destroyed half of my kitchen?
Rarity:Yes Twilight let us in on it.
(Back to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:According to this book. The Maelstrom was the name of Morgan Moonscar's pirate ship.
(Turns to Simone smiling as she talks)
Simone:(OS)I'm not surprised.(Cuts to her pointing at the wall)Parts of this house are quite old. (Turns to the others saying)Pieces of the pirate ship could have been used in the construction. (Cuts to outside)Morgan Moonscar was rumored to have buried treasure on the island. (Back to her as she moves her eyes to Lena and Rarity after saying)Though it was never found.
(Cuts to Big Mac)
Big Macintosh:Treasure? Ah-ha! I know it! It's some guy disguised as a pirate ghost trying to scare everyone off the island!
(Rarity gives him a glare with her arms crossed he looks to his right to try to shrug it off cuts to Snails and Spike outside making steaks)
Snails:Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta. We'll cook while they see what's cooking.
Spike:Yeh yeh. Like a stake out! We'll have the steak!
(Cuts to inside the mansion where the gang all hear noises that sound like a cat with a monstrous meow and roar)
Rarity:My! What was that?!
Sci-Twi:Er I don't think it's the call of the cuckoo!
Big Macintosh:Well whatever it is it's comin from the garden.
(Cuts to the garden where the guys see a cat creature)
Snails:Duh yikes! It's a cat man! A literal cat man as in real!
Spike:Make with the beat it, scrameroo!
Snails:There's only one thing to do in a time like this like you said Spike.
Spike:What?
Snails:Like you said and I get to say what is close enough to it. (Says that calmly then yells)RETREAT! RUN!
(They run they gang come out to see they are chased by the cat creature)
Simone:Oh my!
Big Macintosh:That thing's a real life boneified cat person. A real cat creature!
Sci-Twi:We don't know it's a real cat creature because we didn't get a good look at the face.
(Simone's eyes move back and fourth suspiciously and Big Mac turns the camera to face her)
Big Macintosh:Ms. Lenoir do you know what's going on here?
Simone:No not really young Macintosh.
Rarity:We should go find our friends.
Simone:We will be inside preparing dinner.
(They go inside and the gang walk down the stairs and look around the yard and Big Mac films a black cat with yellow glowing eyes coming up to him and we see it through the camera's POV and it leaps at him and we cut back to Big Mac who falls down)
Big Macintosh:Whoa!
(The cat goes away like a harmless kitten cuts to the guys running like the speed of lighting, like Sonic the Hedgehog and Shaggy and Scooby-Doo)
Snails:Like it's every coward for himself old buddy!
(Spike begins to slow down)
Spike:Too hungry, need food to keep up, can't move.
(Falls down and is out of energy)
Snails:(Screeches to stop)Spike!
(Comes back for him)
Snails:I gotcha buddy!
(Picks him up and runs off like Shaggy to Scooby running to the secret elevator in Monsters Unleashed)
Snails:I'm getting hungry.
Spike:Me too, my stomach is pinching for a Spikey Snack.
Snails:I hate to break it to you buddy but I'm outta Spikey Snacks.
Spike:(Points to something)Look.
Snails:(Tuns)Huh?
(Cuts to bushes with chili peppers)
Snails:Like wow! I can't pass up a hot opportunity like this!
Spike:Me neither!
(Snails packs some in his pockets of his hoodie shirt and pants while Spike just eats it all)
Spike:This is only one of my favorite things to do. Before I could talk I didn't eat the bad things.
Snails:Like what?
Spike:Like grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, fudge and coffee. But now I get to eat all that good stuff.
Snails:This is better than the time we caught the Fisher Phantom.
(They gang come to them)
Sci-Twi: What's going on guys? We can hear you screaming all the way from the house.
Snails:Oh it's you guys. It was horrible! We saw one of those were cats!
Spike:Yeah!
(Acts like it making like he's a cat creature moving his arms around)
Spike:And that's it.
Sci-Twi:This is mysterious.
Rarity:Yes very mysterious.
Snails:I just remembered something. They ate our meat.
Spike:Things ain't panning out.
(They walk off where they came from)
Big Macintosh:Come on gang. Real cat monsters don't feed on fry ups.
Spike:Woo-Woo they do! I'm with you Snails...Behind.
(They spend twenty minutes of walking back to the house but get lost)
Sci-Twi:Now it's getting late, and we've been walking forever looking for the creature in these woods on this island. Whoever or whatever it is, is trying to scare us.
Rarity:Well I for one believe it's just some farmer who's angry we're on his land. Probably Lena. And of course there's the greeters and the ferry captain. And it didn't help by sticking that camera in his face.
Sci-Twi:Look I'm just trying to make a visual record here. 
Rarity:On what Twilight? How to get lost live on the land and use our dog for a blanket?
Snails:I don't like this you guys. I wanna go home.
Big Macintosh:Come on the van should be over there.
Rarity:We didn't ride the Canterlot Cruiser here.
Big Macintosh:Oh.
Snails:Like I don't know what to say man.
(Cuts to the fork the gang go along the path and the guys take the left the gang turn to see the guys are gone)
Big Macintosh:Hey where's that daft mutt?
Rarity:He's not so daft he's guarding Snails.
Sci-Twi:That's only so he can hide.
(Cuts to them in what looks like a cemetery they sit on a stone lid)
Snails:Creeps! I'm sorta shaky. Must be from hunger.
Spike:Dito. Who's he kidding? Not Spike.
(Cuts to behind them Spike sees a cat creature)
Spike:(Gulps)Ooooob ooo!
Snails:Stop nudging!
(It leaps at them they see it and the lid turns)
Snails:Yeeeeeks! It's springing!
(They fall into the hole and the were cat is not so lucky as it sides and hits him in the head cuts to the secret tunnel where they are falling)
Spike:Oh noooo! We sprung too!
(Cuts to inside the house where the gang are walking the halls while Big Macintosh is still filming)
Sci-Twi:I don't see Snails and Spike anywhere!
Rarity:The poor guys must be running around helpless and terrified!
(Spots some eyes in a panting blinking)
Rarity:Uh Big Mac, Twilight? I think we got a cat problem.
(Says the last thing while throwing her right thumb at the portrait and Big Mac gets a spray sufficer spray and sprays at the panting)
Big Macintosh:A spray a day keeps the were cats away!
Rarity:Sort of one in the eye.
(Cuts to inside the secret passageway where Snails is holding Spike who is in front of him)
Spike:Gooooo-Oooby-Dooo!
Snails:No Spike hang about! I've lost my balance!
(Cuts to an angle on the gang Big Mac and Rarity are on the left side while Twilight is to the right the door opens with the painting facing Big Mac and Rarity and Rarity is on Big Mac's left and Snails and Spike fall out)
Rarity:What a fantastical picture of misery!
Big Macintosh:It's Sn...You know who.
Sci-Twi:Why Spike and Snails!
Big Macintosh:Where were y'all?
Snails:In a spooky cemetery.
(Meanwhile outside, Cat Creatures were outside heading for the house Big Mac was heard)
Big Macintosh:Gang let's search the house. It's the key to the mystery.
(Cuts to Twilight and Rarity by a wardrobe)
Sci-Twi:Hey! See what's in here! Handbags and small cases!
(Rarity looks in one)
Rarity:All empty!
(Cuts to Snails and Spike in the kitchen)
Snails:We'll have some of that food. Right Spike?
Spike:Right Snails.
(Opens the refrigerator to reveal chicken drumstick legs and cheese and cake and ham)
Snails:Look at this Spike we've hit the food jackpot! Not only the chill pepper jackpot but the grub jackpot!
Spike:Yeah I'm starved let's eat!
(Snails holds out a drumstick)
Snails:Yuk! Yuk! We'll search the fridge!
(Spike licks his lips and says)
Spike:Good thinking Snails cos were hungry! And "cause" spelled C-O-S.
(They pig out on the food Snails grabs the cheese and olives and salami and lemon meringue pie and bologna and ribs and Spike eats some too)
Spike:Ya think they got any banana cream pie?
(In the shadows a cat person is beside them hissing)
Snails:Why are hissing Spike?
Spike:I'm not hissing.
Snails:Well I'm not.
(Gets a banana cream pie and closes the door and they see the cat creature and freak out)
Both:C-C-C-C-Cat Creature!
(It roars at them Snails uses the courage to throw the pie right in the monster's face causing them to escape)
Spike:Snails! The pie!
Snails:No time for pie! That overgrown kitten is gonna make a pie out of us!
Spike:Good thinking! Since you put it that way!
(They run past the gang at super speed and come back by backing up and running in place)
Snails:RUN! Cat Creature!
(They run off again the Cat Creature comes)
Cat Creature:Graaw!
Sci-Twi:Oh no! Go go!
(They run and they run up the stairs with the guys)
Snails:Creeps! Ghosts and wolves! Werewolves! Even though it's a cat creature!
Spike:Woo-Wooo! I ain't saying!
(Snails drops meat onto the stairs and the Cat Creature eats it all like it did with the steaks)
Snails:C'mon Spike! Let'em halve their meat cooked!
Spike:It ain't fair! I dropped them!
(Cuts to Snails)
Snails:Sheeesh! They don't have ghostly appetites!
(Cuts to a door with two suits of armor on earthier side and Big Mac and the girls run into a room)
Big Macintosh:Quick into here!
Sci-Twi:Lock the door!
(The door closes and Snails runs into it and Spike runs into him)
Snails:Zoinks! They've locked us out Spike!
Spike:Now he tells me! We're trapped!
(Snails spots the armor on earthier side of the door and they put it on)
Snails:Hurry Spike! Make it with the armor!
Spike:Oooooh I hope this works!
(The Cat Creature goes up to them and walk by them and they are relieved and remove their helmets)
Spike:Phew that was close. Let's get out of here before that overgrown pussy cat comes back.
(The gang come out of the room)
Rarity:I'm going to call the police to see if they can send some help here right away.
Snails:Like let's face it. The Cat People are real! And the rest of the legend is true too! If we don't get out of here, we're dead or at least undead. Which also sound really bad.
Sci-Twi:There's no such things as real cat monsters Snails.
Snails:Says you! I'm getting on that ferry and never coming back!
Spike:Me too!
Sci-Twi:But we haven't caught the Monstrous Miscreant.
Snails:This time we shouldn't have meddled! We shouldn't have meddled!
Spike:Yeah! This time we're in way over our heads! And the only way off of this island is by boat!
Sci-Twi:But the captain said he'll be back tomorrow.
Spike:Well we'll contact him!
Snails:Face it! We've been to every haunted house, park and carnival! North, south, east and west of the Mississippi!
Spike:Plus the Mississippi.
Snails:Oh yeah the Riverboat Wraith. (Back to the gang)Well no more! We are done! The Canterlot Mystery Club is closed for business! The only thing we have to do on this island man is relax.
Big Macintosh:Well I guess we have used you as live bait a few times.
Snails:A few times daily!
Sci-Twi:Well can you at least go into the swamp?
Snails:Yes! Come on Spike!
(The walk off and realize it)
Snails:Wait what?
(Cuts to Twilight in the library looking at a book with her magnifying glass)
Sci-Twi: Jinkies. The more people who come to this island the more they die.
(Cuts to angle on her and a shadow is on the bookcase)
Man:(OS)What are you doing in here?
(She turns gasping at the person cuts to Beau Neville the local policeman)
Beau:I said what are you doing in here?
Sci-Twi:Just doing some research. Who are you?
Beau:Beau Neville. I'm a detective who was sent here to investigate the island disappearances.
Sci-Twi:I'm Twilight Sparkle. I'm part of the mystery group from Canterlot High.
Beau:Miss Sparkle I'm only gonna say this once. Stay out of it.
Sci-Twi:Stay out of what?
Beau:My mystery. It's me and only me. I'm a one-man person. And only I'm the one who gets to come around the clues.
(Walks off she then gets suspicious)
Sci-Twi:(To herself)A one-man person eh?
(Cuts to Spike and Snails in the kitchen Snails has a sandwich Shaggy had in the teaser for Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Spike eats the insides of it leaving only the bread he looks at Spike like Shaggy did to Scooby)
Snails:Let's go to the swamp.
(Spike goes to sit in the parlor and sits on a chair and laughs and goes"Huh?" smiling at a platter of biscuits and uses his tongue to pull them in off of the platter and swallows them and licks his lips)
Snails:Let's go Spike!
Spike:Coming Snails.
(Lena comes in)
Snails:Like what are you doing here Lena?
Lena:Just doing my job. That's what little old me is doing.
Snails:Ok then. Come on Spike.
(They leave the room cuts to the gang where they discover another book)
Sci-Twi:This could be another clue. It's about the history of the island. Foreign people like Japanese, Greek, Australian, Canadian, European, all of them like even criminals would come here to hide from the law and they were said to have been drained of their life. It says here that cat monsters prowl the island every Harvest Moon in order to stay alive.
Rarity:It says there that senior citizens came to this island and were drained as well. And other people from all over America were lured.
Big Macintosh:Ya think the rumor of the treasure is what lured them here?
Rarity:I'm not sure.
(Simone comes in)
Simone:What are you all doing in here?
Sci-Twi:Just some researching.
Rarity:Excuse me for asking Simone but how come people are brought to this island?
Simone:Just for the treasure.
Big Macintosh:Does anyone else live on this island?
Simone:Only an old ill natured fisherman named Snakebite Scruggs, he lives down in the swamp and tries to catch Big Mona.
Sci-Twi:We better go investigate him.
Simone:I wouldn't do that. He doesn't like tourists coming around his part of the island.
Sci-Twi:We're just gonna go ask him some questions.
(Snails and Spike come in)
Snails:We decided to stay with you guys.
Sci-Twi:We're going down to the swamp to talk to a fisherman.
(We fade to the gang arriving at an old cabin)
Snails:Out of all the creepiest places we've been to, this is the creepiest.
Spike:Creepy ground zero.
Voice:(OS)I told ya I don't want peddlers! (The slide of the see through eyes opens and a pair of weird eyes pokes out) You kids are a-tresspassin.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike)
Snails:Who us?! No we didn't pass any tresses! Did you pass any tresses Spike!?
Spike:No! No tresses passed!
(Cuts to Big Macintosh)
Big Macintosh:We're lookin for the local fisherman.
Snakebite:I'm the local fisherman. (The slide closes and he peeks through the window)And this here's m'ah terratory. (Then opens the door)I'm the only one who lives in this here swamp.
Big Macintosh:Course. Sorry.
Snakebite:Blast it! This swamp is a-gettin too crowded with them tourists! (Walks up to them they back up as he talks) The hotel guests, the Monstrous Miscreant, them zombies and cat people, and now you kids! Why can't y'all just leave me be!
Sci-Twi:Two greeters mentioned the zombies and cat people before.
(Cuts to Snakebite explaining)
Snakebite:Some humanoid cats who drain people of their life force. And they are said to have dumped the bodies in the river. (Laughs)
(Cuts to Snails and Spike who gulp about this then back to Twilight Big Mac and Snakebite)
Sci-Twi:What do you know about these things?
Snakebite:I don't like a-talkin to strangers.
(Spike sniffs at the doorway and a wild boar hog snorts at him and he screams)
Spike:Yikes!
(Spike jumps to Snails and Snakebite chuckles and Rarity is unease)
Rarity:What in the world is that?
Snakebite:This here's m'ah huntin pig. Mojo.
Snails:Hunting pig?
Snakebite:He's a lot better then any hound dog. He can smell a catfish a mile away.
(Big Mona comes up and splashes water Snakebite laughs and Spike is humiliated)
Snakebite:(OS)And a lot smarter than any dog too.
Big Macintosh:(Awkward)Oooook.
Snakebite:Now get outta m'ah swamp!
Rarity:Your swamp?
Snakebite:It might as well be.
Big Macintosh:We just need some information on the cat people and the zombies. And the Monstrous Miscreant.
Snakebite:I only know one thing about that Monstrous Miscreant. It only shows up at night.
Big Macintosh:(To himself)At night huh? That's really interesting. (To Snakebite)Well uh thank you Snakebite.
Snakebite:Yeah well y'all can thank me by. (Shakes his fist and yells at them)GETTIN OUTTA M'AH SWAMP!
(He and Mojo go back into the house the gang shrug their shoulders and walk off cuts to a wide shot of them walking we fade back to the house where in the parlor Big Mac paces back and forth and Rarity is painting her nails while Twilight goes through another book and Snails and Spike are eating chili peppers)
Snails:Ya know I bet compared to any other hot pepper this stuff would taste like a cool breeze.
Sci-Twi:Are you kidding? This stuff is enough for a plane's jet engine.
Spike:Well we're the plane's jet engine.
Sci-Twi:Shocking.
(Says that sarcastically)
Rarity:(While painting her nails)Look I don't know who's behind this but we can't let them drain us of our life-force. If they need people's life-force then we're in trouble.
Snails:Says you. Cause we've been running around ever since we got here.
Spike:Yeah. And we've lost fifty pounds.
Sci-Twi:And you're gaining those fifty pounds back.
Big Macintosh:They could siphon our life force if we don't do somethin.
Snails:I'm going out for a walk. Come on Spike. Let's go.
(They leave as the gang talk)
Rarity:If only we had a clue to this mystery.
(Her elbow knocks a statue's head and a book case slides open)
Big Macintosh:Hey what's this?
(They go over and walk in and find newspaper clippings they look at it from one to the other as Big Mac films it all)
Big Macintosh:Would ya look at this stuff.
(One reads THUG FOUND DEAD it has a photo of the man all mummified another reads SOUL SUCKING CAT PEOPLE STRIKE AGAIN a photo of a policeman is one the crime scene as a victim another reads ENFORCER COMMANDER FOUND DEAD there is a photo of a man resembling Commander Ulysses Feral from Swat Kats the Radical Squadron he is dead another reads POWER AND LIGHTING COMPANY WORKER FOUND DEAD there is a picture of the man being dead another reads TRUCKER FOUND DEAD there is a trucker who looks dead too and is still in his uniform another reads DOCKWORKER DEAD there is a photo of Geno Furness a dockworker is found dead at the outside of Moonscar Island another reads CONSTRUCTION TOWER FOREMAN DEAD there is a photo of the man looking all dead looking we cuts back to the gang)
Big Macintosh:What kind of creep would want this?
Sci-Twi:I don't know. But I think we found ourselves a clue.
Rarity:We must get out of here before someone finds us.
(Twilight takes the clippings and they run out of the room and puts the head back in place)
Big Macintosh:C'mon we gotta find Snails and Spike!
(They run out cuts to the guys walking and they fall into a giant hole)
Snails:What the? Huh? Hey what are we doing here?
Spike:We musta didn't see it.
(They look up to see the way they came in and Snails grabs onto a root)
Snails:Like hang on I'll have us out in a sec.
Spike:I hope so.
(Snails grunts as he is trying to get out but loses the balance of himself and falls down going "Ah!" and the root comes down with some rocks and dust cuts to them Snails looks at the root and dirt comes down on they and they seem shocked at something cuts to a bony skeleton hand and finger sticking out they scream)
Snails&Spike:Yikes!
(The wind blows and leave blow with it and a green beam of energy begins to come to the thing cuts to Snails and Spike holding each other)
Snails:Like what's going on?
Spike:I-I don't know.
(The skeleton falls out and begins to morph into its form we cut to a close up of Snails and Spike being scared out of their minds and cuts to the skeleton morphing in to a zombie and finally he does and with glowing red eyes cuts to Snails and Spike freaking out cuts to behind them where we see the pirate pulls out his sword cuts to Snails and Spike who do the Shaggy and Scooby fashion of Shaggy holding Scooby the zombie gets closer and closer and Snails climbs out running away screaming)
Snails:Ahhhhhh!
Spike:Snails?(Turns to the pirate and he is scared and crotches down covering his eyes)Yikes!
(A long stick comes down and picks him up by the collar it's Snails holding the stick they then run off once Spike is free from the hole and they run leaving the stick, the zombie climbs out of the hole and goes after them they run off screaming and cuts to him just limping after them cuts to them running through the bushes and run into Beau)
Snails:Like are we ever glad to see you.
Beau:What are you doing out here?! Ruining more of my flowerbeds?!
Snails:Like if you want to plant something. There's s dead guy following us.
Spike:Yeah dead guy.
Beau:Where?! I don't see anything!
(Rushling is heard they are shocked but it's the gang emerging from the bushes)
Sci-Twi:What's going on guys? We can hear you screaming all the way from the house.
(Cuts to Snails Spike and Beau)
Snails(Relived)Oh it's you guys. (Cuts to a shot of them together as the gang go over to them) It was horrible. That pirate Moonscar was like nothing but bones. (Spike walks like a zombie)And then he got worse (Spike falls down)Like a zombie!

(Twilight looks over to the hole and Rarity is beside it)
Sci-Twi:(To Beau)What are you planting elephants? That hole is huge.
(Beau goes away and grabs his shovel)
Beau:(Mumbles to himself)There's no mud on this country.
(Cuts to Twilight and Rarity, Twilight is suspicious)
Sci-Twi:There's something suspicious about that detective.
Rarity:Yeah he is suspicious. But he is kind of cute.
(Big Mac is heard clearing his throat as we move to him and Snails)
Big Macintosh:(Angry look)Well now that we're through here maybe we should get going.
Snails:Like that's a great idea Big Mac!
(Back to scene)
Rarity:Get going? No way! (Cuts to her)This place gets more and more interesting by the minute.
(Back to scene, the sun sets)
Simone:And it is getting close to sunset. (Cuts to her)And the ferry doesn't run at night.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike who are about to leave)
Snails:Like we do.
(Simone stops them by putting her hand on Snails and saying)
Simone:We have plenty of rooms. (Cuts to her)You could stay for the night.

Simone:Thank you Rarity. (Sits down)But I'm afraid your dog (We pan over to Spike butting a napkin on himself tying it around his neck)will have to eat in the kitchen.
Spike:Dog? Where?
Snails:Come on old buddy. We'll chow down in the kitchen.
(Says that as they leave)
(Big Mac tastes the gumbo)
Big Macintosh: Mmm. This gumbo is delicious. 
(He is dressed like what he wore in Step of Pep and what his pony counterpart wore in Filli Vanilli)
Big Macintosh:(Takes a biscuit)And these biscuits. Light as a feather.
(Eats it and looks to Rarity who gives him a look then turns to ask Simone)
Rarity:Where's Beau?
(A white cat comes up to Simone and leaps into her arms as she says)

(Back to the dining room where Twilight asks some questions)
Sci-Twi:So how long has Beau been here when he should be in town doing police things? Exactly how long has Beau been working for you Ms. Lenoir?
(Cuts to Simone purring the cat)
Simone:Hmm.Several months. And it's Simone Twilight. 
(Cuts to Big Mac)
Big Macintosh:Well I think this guy is pretty suspicious.
(Sips his gumbo cuts to Simone)
Simone:Ah but he had excellent references....
(A crash is heard, they turn their attention to the cause of it, Snails and Spike have bowls on their heads with cat food still in them and is all over them)
Snails:I don't think the kitchen was such a good idea. (Cuts to him and Spike) You know, cats.
Spike:Cats! 
(Snarls and the cat hisses at him, Snails tires to hold Spike back)
Snails:Zoinks!
Simone:This is quite enough! (Cuts to her as the cat looks at her and turns back to them smiling evilly)The dog will have to eat outside!
(Cuts to them, they don't like it)
Spike:Outside?(Shakes his head) Uh-uh!
(They both gulp)
Snails:Like there's a dead guy out there!
(Cuts to Simone, Lena and the cat)
Lena:(Gets up from her chair)May I make suggestion?
(We fade to them eating outside on the porch)
Snails:This is a lot quieter buddy. And Lena even made us a special to go. (Sucks on crawfish shell) Nothing like a good old fashion crawfish boil.
Spike:Crawfish.
(Snails eats some and Spike does too and laughs like Scooby-Doo as Snails goes "Mmm-mmm" cuts to behind them where we see their backs)
Snails:These crawfish sure are (Cuts back to them)tasty. (Cracks the shell open and turns to his left going "Huh?" and unnoticed to him Spike eats it leaving only the shell and he taste it)Huh. Not much meat on this crawdad.
(Spike takes them out and sucks them up and laughs and spits them out and licks his fingers Snails gets some biscuits)
Snails:Here buddy, have a biscuit.
Spike:Thanks.
(Eats all of them by piling them all in his mouth and swallows them)
Snails:Something tells me you're getting the best of this meal.
(They eat gumbo and pecan pie and Spike spots cats up in the tree)
Spike:Cats!
(Starts to growl at them)
Snails:Like it's hard to enjoy a meal with a bunch of eyes staring at you. (To Spike)Sit tight old buddy. (Spike still snarls and growls at them)I'll find us a peaceful place to eat.
(They run around making a U turn and run off and Spike looks back blowing a raspberry and does what Scooby did to the cats as he and Shaggy left the house cuts to inside at the dinning room and the scene is like the one in Zombie Island)
Sci-Twi:What I like to know is why these ghosts want us off the island.
(Big Mac is putting gumbo on his rice and says)
Big Macintosh:It's not ghosts Twilight. It's bad guys in masks. (Cuts to him)And they're probably after the pirates treasure.
(Cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:Or covering up a smuggling operation!
(Back to Big Mac)
Big Macintosh:Or maybe there's oil under the island!
(Cuts to Simone who gasps in shock)
Simone:(Shocking gasp)Oh my!
(Back to the team)
Rarity:Really guys! (Turns to Big Mac)For once can't you accept that maybe there are some mysteries that have no rational explanation?
(Big Mac gives her a look like Fred did to Daphne in the dinning room scene in Zombie Island we fade to Snails and Spike)
Snails:Like this is much better eh Spike? (They stop by a nearby lake)And now for the heat de resistance. (Pulls out two peppers and gives Spike one) Like on your mark, get set. Ignition.
(They eat them, Snails swallows his and he has tears coming from down his eyes and pants as he opens his mouth and wipes his hand in front of his mouth because of the hotness of the peppers we move over to Spike who on the other hand smiles and laughs then sticks his chili pepper out his mouth cuts back to scene)
Snails:Hey no fair. What's the matter? Chicken?
(Spike then nods back and forth)
Spike:Uh-ah.
(Eats it and Snails gasp upon being stiff and Spike has swallowed his pepper and becomes stiff too and the color red changes their usual colors and we cut to a close up where their eyes are red and and the color scheme stops as fire comes from Spike's ears and smoke comes out of Snails's ears and then smoke comes out of their nostrils cuts back to scene their ears and noses do it again like Shaggy and Scooby in Zombie Island and then they run to the lake to drink water screaming all the way and they dunk their heads under water and chugging sounds are heard we move up to the sky to see the beam of energy from earlier which made Moonscar's zombie come back to life we cut to Snails and Spike sighing but take notice of the beam and they hold their breath upon seeing it and the beam hits the ground and cuts to an angle of them looking at a confederate zombie coming out of the ground moaning cuts to them as the zombie comes up they scream and cuts back to them looking at all the zombies coming, the hold each other shaking and shivering)
Snails:Zoinks! Zombies!
(They look at another energy beam and are scared we are behind them cuts to the beam hitting the ground and pirate and fancy dressed zombies come out moaning they scream and run)
Snails and Spike:(OS)YIKES!
(Cuts to them running by each other's side, Snails is on Spike's left while Spike is on the right of Snails they run hopping off of zombies and we see them running to a part of the swamp and they are mesmerized upon seeing another beam of energy shoot from the sky and down to the water and up close a zombie hand comes out twitching cuts to them acting like Shaggy and Scooby in Return To Zombie Island where they saw the zombie hand in the opening cuts to them running with two zombies behind them they slowly walk after them the zombies walk past a couple of bushes and Snails and Spike pop out sighing with relief and Snails sees something moving)
Snails:Spike quit rattling your tail.
Spike:I'm not rattling my tail.
Snails:Huh?
(A snake comes out from behind him and its tongue comes in and out slithering and they scream and run off where they came from before they were hiding from the zombies cuts to a scene we follow them as they run through some trees and bushes looking back to see if anything or anyone is chasing them and they bump into someone and we cut to an angle behind the person they look up gasping and we cut to the face of the person and it appears to be a zombie cuts to them they scream)
Snails and Spike:YIKES!
(They run off screaming as a bird even flies cuts to the "zombie" and it is revealed to be Beau with a lantern we fade to Big Mac back in the dining room eating pie and turns to Rarity after he swallows it)
Big Macintosh:Hey we should to a segment on Lena's pecan pie Rare. (Cuts to scene)It's supernatural.
(He means that as in it is good)
Rarity:You are so corny.
(They all hear Snails and Spike screaming and they get up and say in unisons)
Gang:(In unisons)Now what?
(Cuts to Simone, the cat jumps off and hisses as it goes away and Simone gets up)
Simone:I told you the hauntings were just beginning.
(Cuts to Big Mac holding the camera)
Big Macintosh:If you ladies will excuse me.
(Walks some away from his seat)
Simone:Lena, get them some lanterns.
Lena:Right away. (Goes up to Big Mac)But please Big Mac. You must be careful.
(Angle on her as we pull into Big Mac who smiles and nods softly we then fade to the swamp where the gang are heard)
Sci-Twi:(OS)Snails? Spike? Where are you?
(They walk up as she calls for them cuts to them they hear rushing)
Sci-Twi:Guys?
(Beau walks out)
Big Macintosh:So it's you! (Angle on him looking angry at Beau)Where's Spike and Snails?!
Beau:Your crazy friends are down by the bayou, screaming about zombies. I didn't see any.
(Says the last few words from our way of seeing it cuts back to them with an angle on Beau Twilight is angry)
Sci-Twi:And you never do! In fact you're never around when these ghosts and zombies appear!
(Angle on Big Mac and Twilight)
Big Macintosh:Yeah now isn't that a coincidence?
(Rarity comes into view)
Rarity:Save your suspicions for later guys. Right now we need to find Spike and Snails. (Far away)I think we should split up
Big Macintosh:Good idea but who's goin with who?
(Cuts to Rarity)
Rarity:I'll go with Beau.
Big Macintosh:Bad idea.
Sci-Twi:I'll go with Beau. (Whispers to Big Mac)I won't let him out of my sight.
Beau:I'll go by myself. And like I told you. I don't want you kids interfering with police business.
Big Macintosh:(To Twilight while looking off in Beau direction)Still a suspect?
Sci-Twi:Eyup.
(Scene melts to the gang looking for clues, Rarity calls out to them)
Rarity:(OS)Big Mac, Twilight, over here.
(Finds something, it's a box of Spikey Snacks she shows it to them)
Rarity:Look. 
Big Macintosh:A box of Spikey Snacks.
Sci-Twi:This is bad. Snails and Spike wouldn't go anywhere with out their Spikey Snacks.
Rarity:We gotta find them and fast!
(Big Mac is filming around the swamp)
Big Macintosh:(Acts like a narrater)The swamp. The mysterious boggy lands of Louisiana. The perfect place for some voodoo to be going on in. Home to Mardi Gras, cajun food, spicy food even, and the best fishin this side of the Mississippi.
Sci-Twi:What are you doing?
Big Macintosh:Narratin. It's the kinda thing to do in a nature documentary.
(Bubbles come up in the river where a ghost version the colonal from Snails and Spike's room appear)
Jackson T Pettigrew: Get away. Leave this place. It's your only protection. We are your only hope for survival soldiers.
(Twilight and Rarity hide behind Big Mac cowering like Snails and Spike)
Big Macintosh:Great affects.
Jackson T Pettigrew: (Fades away) GET AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Macintosh:Best footage ever. I got a "ghost" on camera.
Rarity:Now I am convinced that ghost and monsters are real.
Big Macintosh:We still haven't found the Monstrous Miscreant yet.
Rarity:If we can only find a clue.
Sci-Twi:(OS)Wait a minute gang. (Cuts to her)A clue! None of us are wearing boots.
Rarity:I'm wearing boots.
Sci-Twi:But these aren't the fashion kind Rarity. They look like boots the captain of a ship would wear.
Rarity:You mean the tacky out of date none fashion kind?
Sci-Twi:Exactly.
Big Macintosh:And look what else I found. Pieces of cloth that resemble the shirt and dress of the greeters.
Rarity:Oh no.
Sci-Twi:You don't think?
Big Macintosh:Eyup. They've been turned into zombies.
Sci-Twi:Like Velma Dinkley I only believe in facts not fiction.
Rarity:Sometime darling facts can be fiction and fiction can be facts.
Big Macintosh:Eyup. Besides we just gotta keep worryin about Snails and Spike.
Sci-Twi:Wait a minute. Let me see those pieces of cloth Big Mac. (He hands them to her)Hmmmm. The ends don't look like they've been torn. They look like they've been cut.
Rarity:Don't tell me that's another clue.
Sci-Twi:It is. But it's only half of a clue.
Big Macintosh:Whadda ya mean "half"?
Sci-Twi:I mean, that it's not a full clue. We only have newspaper articles, boot prints, and pieces of cloth.
Big Macintosh:Hey what's this?
(Picks up a bottle with a pice of paper)
Sci-Twi:It's a bottle. 
Rarity:And there's a note inside.
(Big Mac opens the cork and takes the paper out)
Big Macintosh:It's not a note. It's a treasure map.
Sci-Twi:This must be on how to find Moonscar's long lost treasure.
Rarity:(Puts her hand on her chest in shocked)My! Look at the size of those footprints.(Cuts to some weird looking footprints that look like they belong to a humanoid cat)They look big. As in "big" big.
(Cuts back to them)
Sci-Twi:They must belong to the Monstrous Miscreant. Let's follow them.
(They walk off to follow them and after a few minutes they find an elderly looking white skinned male with white hair on the back and sides resembling Swampy Pete from the Scooby-Doo Harlem Globetrotters episode The Ghostly Creep from the Deep)
Swampy Paul:Goooo away. 
Big Macintosh:Who are you?
Swampy Paul:I am Swampy Paul and beware for you will be meeting up with the spirits of Zombie Island.
(Goes away in a creepy way, the gang are suspicious they then follow the tracks back to where they were)
Sci-Twi:It looks like we now have another suspect. So that makes three.
(A hand touches Rarity's shoulder causing her to gasp then she does a karate flip, and does a karate yell flipping the zombie, this gets the attention of her friends)
Big Macintosh:Rarity are you--?!
Rarity:I can handle myself. Thank you.
(Big Mac and Twilight walk up as the gang surrounds the zombie cuts to a close up of the zombie)

(An arm comes from the bushes she grabs it doing another karate yell and tossing the person onto the unconscious zombie, it is Snails cuts to the gang)
Gang:Snails? (Cuts to Spike coming out of the bushes)Spike?
(Cuts to Snails getting up and he freaks out upon seeing the zombie and jumps back to Spike as they both cower upon seeing the zombie as Big Mac films the zombie)
Big Macintosh:Take it easy Snails it's just a mask.
(Cuts to Rarity pulling on it)
Rarity:If this is a mask Big Mac, it's a pretty darn good one.
(Cuts to the guys behind Big Mac we move to him as he says)
Big Macintosh:(Scoffs)Good one? That's the fakest cheesiest mask I've ever seen.

Big Macintosh:Sure. (To Snails)Hold this Snails.
(Gives him the camera as he goes up to the zombie and grabs it and we see it through the camera's POV which is shaky because of Snails shaking)
Big Macintosh:Either hold it still or give it to Twilight or Rarity.
(Gives it to Rarity cuts to camera's POV Big Mac struggles to get it off)

(And Snakebite comes over)
Snakebite:What's this, what's this?
Sci-Twi:Just an unveiling of crooks in masks.
Beau:But how did you know they'd be frightened by the zombies?
Sci-Twi:Easy. Since they believe in Moonscar's treasure. Which of course it doesn't. They must on some level believe in the curse.
(Spike has what looks like gold coins in a little sack cuts to the ferry captain)
Ferry Captain:But the gold.
(Cuts to Twilight unwrapping one)

(Cuts to Twilight)
Sci-Twi:That we don't know ourselves. And it's not swamp mist.
(Cuts to the culprits)

(Cuts to Morgan)
Morgan:And it was workin fine until you gang of snoopers came around.
(Cuts to Twilight, Rarity, Snails and Spike)
Sci-Twi:But why? Why go through all this trouble to scare people away?
(Cuts to the ferry captain)
Ferry Captain:Cause Morgan found an old sunken treasure ship out there in the swamp. (Cuts to a shot of him and the greeters, Snakebite is by them only by a few feet the captain then points) He didn't want nobody else to get the gold in it.
(Morgan enters the frame and scolds the captain and the greeters (Mostly the captain)by saying)
Morgan:Shut up.
(Cuts to male greeter)
Male Greeter:It was probably Moonscar's treasure they were hiding when they were here.
(Snakebite starts laughing and the male greeter looks at him cuts to him)
Snakebite:Gold? Sunken treasure? (Laughs and then says)Why I've known about that for ten years! (Cuts to the crooks)It's a fake, a dummy, like your monster costumes.
(Cuts to Morgan)
Morgan:What do you mean "fake"? I saw the gold.
(Cuts to Snakebite and he explains)
Snakebite:Years ago a movie company made a motion picture here. (Turns to the water)Because of the extra clear water. (Back to wide shot of them all at the side of the lake) It was called Sunken Treasure.
(Cuts to Big Mac. Snails and Spike are behind him and he is confused)
Big Macintosh:So that ship is just part of an old movie set?
(Back to the same group shot from before only this time Morgan is standing up)
Snakebite:That's right. As phony as the gold Morgan saw. (Cuts to him chucking)Why they just left it there when the movie was finished.

(They see a helicopter arrive and the chief along with other police come to arrest the crooks cuts to Big Mac)

Beau:Yep they sure did it. They stopped you. And with help from them Beau Neville has solved it. And don't forget it.
(The female greeter gets in his face and says this in anger)

Big Macintosh:That's a great idea.
(The rest go in while the guys go wonder around)
(Cuts to Snails and Spike in the swamp walking around)
Snails:Man I could go for some more gumbo and crawfish.
Spike:Me too.
(They hear moaning and freak out and run into the swamp where Spike runs so fast that he falls over a log and flying around in the air and lands in someones arms as the person slowly walks out of the shadows of the swamp cuts to Snails walking around the swamp calling for Spike)
Snails:Spike! Spike old buddy? Where are you?
(Spike is heard)
Spike:(OS)Snails? Is that you?
Snails:(Happily)Like yeah. You ok wherever you are buddy?
Spike:(OS)Um I think so.
Snails:Where are you?!
Spike:(OS)Why are you asking? I'm right here with you in your arms. But I'm kind of regaining consciousness from that run and flying. This place is filled with things that are scary.
Snails:Like what are you talking about? I'm not carrying you. I'm looking for you.
(Cuts to the dark scary swamp where someone is carrying Spike and he wakes up as the person groans and it is a zombie and then Spike wakes up and freaks out)
Spike:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Runs out of the zombie's arms and runs off past Snails, Snails then runs off following after Spike)
Snails: (Calls out) Wait up Spike!
(Cuts to the castle like church place)
Beau:Not so much as a footprint.
Big Macintosh:Maybe we should just head back to the house.
(They leave the place and they don't see Snails and Spike coming to the place to hide and they catch their breath once inside)
Snails:I think we lost him.
Spike:I hope we lost him.
(They hear moaning and turn to see Moonscar's zombie coming they run up to the top and find themselves at a dead end with a window with the harvest moon out the whole place looks like a tomb)
Snails:Oh no! Like it's a dead end!
(The zombie comes moaning)
Spike:Or it will be for us!
(They do the Scooby and Shaggy pose and shake and shiver as the zombie gets closer and it's like the teaser for Zombie Island and they get so scared that they jump out the window and Snails lands front first on the ground and Spike lands on him and runs in place and runs off and Snails gets up to run cuts back to the house where only Beau is inside and we can tell by seeing a light and hear him calling for them)
Beau:(OS)Lena! (Cuts to inside where he looks around)Simone? (Tries the dining room where he tries the light switch)Darn it. The generator must've gone out. Better go check it. (Hears screaming from upstairs)It's Lena! (Runs to the rescue)Don't know where Jacque is so I guess I'll have to find Simone and Lena myself.
(Runs upstairs to the room and tries a door, it's locked and he breaks it down revealing a place with lots of books on selves and everywhere)
Beau:What the?
(Investigates it more and discovers a book that is open and reads it)
Beau:Oh no. This is not good. Simone and Lena are the surviving villagers of Morgan Moonscar.
(Door closes behind him and as it does a woman smiles sinisterly like Juniper Montage locking Rainbow Dash up)
Beau:Hey! (Runs over to pound on it)Lemme out! At least the Canterlot Mystery Solvers are still free. Maybe.
(Cuts to Snails and Spike running from the monsters cuts to the gang, Snails and Spike run past them and then stop)
Snails:Zombies!
Spike:Real zombies!
Sci-Twi:Yeah we know all this. We seen the zombies ourselves.
Big Macintosh:I still don't get it.
Rarity:Yeah how do they keep coming up from the grave?
Sci-Twi:We should split up.
Snails:(To Spike)You know what that means Spike.
Spike:Yeah we gotta go back and find the zombies.
(They walk away fade to the lake where they look around)
Snails:There's nothing here.
Spike:Yeah. I remember that one Nightmare Night you and I were making it big with all that candy.
Snails:Yeah we had to go to the dentist after that. Which was the next day after Nightmare Night.
Spike: Yeah the first of November. In fact a lot of kids had to go. Even Pinkie Pie. And when we went to the doctor and vet, they told us that with all that candy our blood sugar was through the roof. And Twilight, Big Mac and Rarity wanted us to eat healthy. So we ate broccoli, brussel sprouts and other healthy things.
(They then spot green energy once again as they talk and it hits the water and another hand comes up like before cuts to Spike and Snails acting like they were when they saw the other hand earlier and they run and it's like in the opening of Return to Zombie Island and zombies slowly follow after and they even run on rocks and cuts to an alligator and Snails steps on it waking it up it opens its mouth they run off cuts to the whole gang they run up to them) 
Snails:We saw more zombies! 
Spike:Yeah they went all like...(Makes like a zombie groaning and stuff) Like that! 
Sci-Twi:We gotta get out of here! We already solved the mystery! Come on run! 
Spike:My paws are making like a rocket and right now! 
(They run through the murky swamps of Moonscar Island cuts to the docks where the ferry is letting its board down as the gang run up to it and screech to a stop they see a person up on the upper deck who waves at them) 
Snails:Like look who it is. 
Big Macintosh:Jacques. (Cuts to them waving happily and greeting him happily as well) Boy are we glad to see you. 
(Spike repeatedly says "Yeah" and they stop greeting him as he walks to them and Spike wags his tail and we have an angle on them looking at him) 
Big Macintosh:There's no time to waste! 
(Cuts to Jacques) 
Jacques:I am happy to see y'all. 
(Soft evil chuckles and it is like the opening flashbacks in Return To Zombie Island where after the shot of the cat statue he then came over the camera from below and turned into a cat creature and it happens here too and he is a cat creature cuts to the gang, they act like in the opening flashbacks in Return To Zombie Island where the gang witnessed him turn into his cat creature form and they are freaked out by this and Spike has his mouth open in fright as Big Mac points his left finger at Jacques like Fred did, Jacques comes after them and they run off cuts to them running through the moonlight as the moon comes up into view and Rarity leads the gang with Big Mac behind her and Sci-Twi behind Big Mac and Snails behind Sci-Twi and Spike running behind Snails they all run in Scooby-Doo run cycles and Jacques runs after them with his hands in the air and now we then have it like the chase where he ran after Shaggy and Scooby the gang run up a hill cuts to Jacques running through the woods cuts to the gang running and Snails and Spike run like how Shaggy and Scooby ran from Jacques cuts to Jacques running and we are in front of him as he comes up to us when we are at the ground cuts to Snails Spike and the gang running they run over the camera screaming and Twilight is still filming and cuts to them running until Jacques leaps out of the bushes snarling cuts to him)

Jacques:What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? 
(Hisses at them they scream out) 
Big Macintosh and Snails:Yikes! 
(The girls and Spike don't know what to do as they film) 
Sci-Twi:We gotta do something! 
Rarity:I don't know what to do! 
Spike:Look! Here comes trouble! 
(Cuts to the zombies coming up to Jacques jumping on him causing him to drop them cuts to angle of Big Mac and Snails they see the zombies dog piling on Jacques) 
Rarity:Are you alright? 
Snails:Like yeah. 
Big Macintosh:C'mon y'all! Now's our chance! 
(They run as Jacques roars we then cut back to the house where the gang are calling the others) 
Big Macintosh:(OS)Lena! 
(Cuts to dinning room where Twilight enters) 
Rarity:(OS)Simone? 
(Cuts to the light switch she tries it then cuts to her) 
Sci-Twi:Beau? 
(Cuts to inside the kitchen where we see Snails and Spike eating all the stuff that is in the fridge) 
Spike:Mmmmm. Banana cream pie and lemon meringue pie. 
Snails:Like nuttin like a little light snack. 
(They hear mumbling from off screen they run to it and it is in the room Beau is locked up in Big Mac then breaks it down and Beau comes running out and knocking Big Mac down in the process and he is knocked down too) 
Beau:Thanks for coming guys. I was trapped in here. 
Sci-Twi:Who put you in here? 
Beau:I didn't get a good look at their face. All I was doing was looking at this book that said that Simone and Lena were the survivors of Morgan Moonscar. 
Rarity:Not only them but also Jacques. 
Beau:What are you talking about? 
Sci-Twi:Jacques is a cat creature too and he's on his way here to drain us all! 
(Lena is heard screaming) 
Sci-Twi:Oh no! That's Lena! 
Rarity:Come on! 
(They run to the rescue cuts to them running around looking for them and Big Mac gives up and sits on the foot of the stairs and then falls through it yelling) 
Big Macintosh:AHHHHHH! 
(The rest come running) 
Rarity:Big Mac! Are you alright?! 
Big Macintosh:Eyup. I'm fine Rare, thanks. 
Sci-Twi:Jinkies. Look at this. 
Beau:What is it Twilight? 
Sci-Twi:These footprints don't look like they've been made by a human. Judging from the size, outline and general configuration. I'd say they're definitely the tracks of a large cat. 
Snails:Like I'd say we'd just leave. 
Big Macintosh:C'mon we've got to save Simone and Lena. 
(They walk down the passageway and discover two ways Twilight goes down the left one) 
Sci-Twi:Come on this way. 
(They come up to a door and Twilight peeks in and enters as the others follow her into the chamber cuts to Twilight and Rarity) 
Rarity:Where are we? 
(Cuts to the whole room they look around and Twilight says from off screen) 
Sci-Twi:(OS)It looks to me like a place for voodoo rituals. 
(Cuts to Snails and Spike who look at the Cat Goddess statue and act like Shaggy and Scooby in Return to Zombie Island and then Snails shines his flashlight back onto it) 
Snails:Hey. This looks like a cat statue of a god or something. Are we in some sort of temple? 
Sci-Twi:I just said it looks like a place for voodoo rituals. 
Snails:So? Rituals can happen in temples too. 
Rarity:Are you getting all of this Big Mac? 
Big Macintosh:Eyup. And this seems too scary. 
Snails:This chamber gives me the creeps and it sends chills down my spine. 
Spike:My spine too, and those zombies are creepy. 
Sci-Twi:Wait a minute. (Snaps her fingers)That old church where we found zombies. 
Rarity:How strange. 
Big Macintosh:What is it Rarity? 
Rarity:There's a whole bunch of idols that look just like us laid out on the floor. 
Sci-Twi:I'll admit that is a tad strange, lemme see one of those. 
(As she is about to pick one up a shriek comes from behind them they turn to see it's a Cat Creature half human half cat and upon closer inspection Twilight discovers that it is Lena) 
Lena:Hello. I'm glad you could make it. (Chuckles evilly) Come with me. My employer awaits you. 
Snails:It's gonna take us to a ritual location on Zombie Island! 
Sci-Twi:Unfortunately Lena you're the only one who looks too happy to see us. 
Lena:What do you mean Twilight? 
Sci-Twi:I'm meaning that you and Simone are the cat women and Jacques your formal ferryman is a cat creature as well. 
Lena:That's cleaver. Come with me to the church. We have already captured Beau. 
(They walk in a line like they're prisoners and they make it to the church where they are taken up to the top floor where Beau is tied up) 
Beau:Just what're you going to do? 
Simone:You will see soon enough. 
(Turns into half a cat creature) 
Lena:Ms. Lenoir I have brought you some more fitting victims. 
(They see Simone turn back into her normal self and are shocked and even Lena turns back to normal) 
Simone:You know our secret! Once the midnight mark will have been reached by the shadow of the moon we will begin our ceremony. 
Big Macintosh:What ceremony?! 
Rarity:You won't get away with this! 
(Cuts to Simone) 
Simone:I've been getting away with it for 200 years. 
(Snickers evilly and changes back into half of a werecat we cut to the gang who are shocked and gasp about this and we cut to a close up of Big Mac and Rarity as he says) 
Big Macintosh:At least Spike is still free. Maybe. 
Spike:(OS)I am free! (Cuts to him)I'm over here Big Mac. 
Lena:(OS)I heard that Big Mac! (Cuts to here with a low angle on Twilight as Lena looks down at them and she is also back into half a werecat)That pesky li'll dog. We don't even bother to make a wax doll of him! A wasted time in magic wax! (Hisses) 
(Cuts back to Big Mac, Rarity, and Beau) 
Big Macintosh:Just what are you planning to do to us?! 
(Simone's leg comes up to them and she says) 
Simone:(OS)Ah it simple. (Cuts to her and Lena looking down at the with an angle on Big Mac and Rarity) Every harvest moon I must drain the life-forces from victims lured to my island. (Cuts to a close up)To preserve my immortality. 
(Cuts to the gang who are all scared) 
Rarity:(Whispers to the others in fright)This is more haunted stuff then I really wanted. 
Snails:Like we're all gonna die! 
Sci-Twi:(To Spike)Get out of here Spike! You're our only hope! 
Spike:Ok Twilight! 
(Runs off and Lena turns to see him run away) 
Lena:The dog! He's getting away! 
Simone:Do not worry about him. Jacques will take care of him. 
(Cuts to Spike running out of the stone building and looks back with tears in his eyes as he thinks back to all the times he had with Twilight such as him jumping up on her licking her in her lab at Crystal Prep, him jumping on her with her glasses in his mouth as she is happy to see him too, her holding him after Fluttershy's magic had got him and caused him to talk, and thinking back to the time from Mad Twience and when he Twilight and Sunset Shimmer found the crystal cave in The Legend of Everfree and he screeches to a holt) 
Spike:No. I can't run away. I cannot be a coward. Sure I can be like Scooby-Doo and Courage the Cowardly Dog, but they're my friends. And friends don't quite! I've got to go back and save them! 
(Runs back to the church) 
Spike:I'm coming gang! 
(Cuts back into the ritual room where Simone and Lena are watching the moon dial waiting for the harvest moon) 
Sci-Twi:(OS)If you're as old as you say you are. (Cuts to them behind Simone as she smiles about the harvest moon coming and it's an angle)Then I'll bet you're the ones who found Morgan Moonscar's treasure! 
(Cuts to Simone) 
Simone:Morgan Moonscar! 
(Flashback happens with the Maelstrom sailing as Simone narrates) 
Simone:(VO)He was the cause of all of this. (Cuts to him and his crew we cut to Simone placing a bowl in the hands of the statue)I was one of the group of settlers who made this island our home. We looked to our cat god for a bountiful harvest. (They then sit at a table where Simone sits at the head of the table and Lena places a bowl of mashed potatoes on the table, we cut to Moonscar walking through the water as his men carry the treasure) 
==Trivia==
*This whole story is based on the 1998 movie, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and its 2019 sequel, Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island.
*The opening case is similar to the one that happened in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode, "Never Ape an Ape Man".
*Big Mac said that the alligator bait was used to guide the alligators into doing the crooks bidding but the alligators were never seen coming out of the water to be attracted by the bait nor was it part of the zombie legend, however the alligators could have chased them and it all occurred offscreen.
*Scenes from Friendship Games, The Legend of Everfree, and Mad Twience seen when Spike thinks back to the times he has had with Twilight
