Stales:Like yeah, Jimber, Spool and I are always being the ones who go after the bad guy!

Veronica:Shut up Stales!

Amber:Yeah Ian Stalesworth, show some respect.

Derek:And besides we're almost done.

Jimber:Yeah and then we can grab a snack.

(Veronica comes with a box)

Derek:Hey what's in the box babe?

Veronica:Mementos of our crimes we've solved.

(Pulls our an ape like monkey mask)

Stela:Hey I remember that, it was that Lakeside Bigfoot.

Spool:And that was literally the monster's name.

(Amber goes over and pulls out a hooded mask with red eyes)

Amber:This is from the Theater Phantom.

(Pulls out a scarecrow mask with red eyes)

Amber:And this is the mask of the Nightly Scarecrow.

(Derek pulls out a witch doctor mask)

Derek:And this is when we caught that Witch Doctor of Honolulu.

(Jimber pulls out a brown mask of the Wax Phantom)

Jimber:And this is the mask of the Wax Phantom. (Pulls another out which is of the Cotton Candy Glob)And here's the mask of the Cotton Candy Glob.

(Stela pulls a black costume with a green eye out and it has red on the inside of the mouth)

Stela:And here's the Tar Monster.

(Stales is over by skeleton costumes and they resemble the costumed versions of the *Monsters Unleashed* versions of the Skeleton Men from Scooby-Doo)

Stale:Hey guys here's the Cyclops Skeletons.

(Cuts back to Veronica)

Veronica:Guys I appreciate it that you're helping me sort things out in the garage.

(Stela brings over the mask of the costumed version of the Ozark Witch)

Stela:No problem Veronica, what are friends for? Remember this?

(Cuts to a closeup of the mask)

Veronica:(OS)The Witch's Ghost of the Ozarks.

(Cuts to her and Derek)

Veronica:How could I forget that mystery?

Derek:We've solved a *lot* of mysteries ever since we've met each other. And *only* after the Seductive Succubus case is when Veronica and I got into mysteries.

(Spool comes with a scrapbook)

Stela:What's that you got Spool?

Spool:A scrapbook from our past cases, mostly newspaper articles.

(Stela opens it)

Stela:Look at this. (Cuts to an article about the Lakeside Bigfoot, reading BIGFOOT BOGUS EXPOSED BY KIDS AND DOG, it has them and two policemen who hold a man in the costume, Spool has the mask in his mouth)This is when we took out that bogus Bigfoot. (About another article which reads CURTAIN CLOSES FOR THEATER PHANTOM it has the gang with two more policemen holding the man in the costume, Spool has the mask in his mouth again)And this is when we took out that phony phantom.

(Cuts back to scene)

Stela:We make a mighty fine monster hunting team.

Amber:Especially when the monsters are crooks in costume.

Veronica:Say uh Amber I've been meaning to ask why you hate cats.

Amber:Well I like pups, I don't really hate cats enough to let them live on the streets it's just that they scratch on curtains and play with balls of yarn when you're knitting.

Veronica:My cousin's friend Katie has a cat named Cali.

Amber:Ok but really. And there's nothing wrong about Garfield.

Spool:Lasagna's good.

Jimber:Spool, now's not the time to eat.

Derek:Come on guys let's get back to sorting things out.

(Scene changer is the PAW Patrol logo, we see the pups playing and Ryder and Ranger tossing around a frisbee and Marshall falls)

Marshall:Whoa!

(Falls on his head)

Marshall:(Weakly)I'm ok.

(Cuts to the others, they giggle and we cut Ryder and Ranger, the others come walking up)

Katie:Hey guys.

Ranger:Hey Katie, Ace, Danny.

Danny:Daring Danny X!

(Ranger groans as he rolls his eyes)

Ryder:We need a mystery to solve.

(Mayor Goodway calls Ryder and he answers it)

Ryder:Ryder here.

Mayor Goodway:Ryder there is something terrible, the general of the Adventure Bay Army Base needs your help to investigate a ghost report. They dress up in army clothes and they are invisible.

Rubble:I heard the word ghost, and I know this is a Mystery Patrol case.

Ryder:Right Rubble. (To Mayor Goodway)Don't worry Mayor Goodway, we'll solve this mystery. (Presses the button)Mystery Patrol! To the Mystery Patroller!

Pups:Ryder needs us!

(They go to the van and Chase says)

Chase:Ready for action Ryder sir!

Zuma:Yeah, we're on the spooky case dude!

(The screen comes on and it plays a scene about army uniforms with nobody wearing them)

Ryder:Pups, we've got a mystery to solve. The army base is haunted by mysterious invisible troopers.

Ranger:And we've got to solve it. I've been to that school.

Danny:Didn't you say you have a reputation there?

Ranger:Yeah.

Ace:We've got to get to that base and solve this mystery.

(The van drives off and the scene changer appears, which is of the Mystery Patrol badge and we see the gang outside the base)

Rocky:This place seems spooky.

Skye:Maybe they're on lock down.

(They walk around and Rubble walks onto a wire and realizes it)

Rubble:Huh?

(Gets caught into a trap and Danny then gets caught and a sack pops out from underneath them and we black out and we fade back to the sack and we cut to inside where Danny and Rubble struggle and they hear Derek saying)

Derek:(OS)Alright let's take a look at those ghosts.

Danny and Rubble:Derek?

(Cuts to the bag falling down down and it opens and Veronica and Derek's feet, Danny and Rubble looks up and we cut to Veronica, Derek and their team and we cut back to the two scaredy cats)

Danny and Rubble:Derek and Veronica?

(Cuts to Derek and Veronica's team, Veronica and Derek are happy too)

Derek and Veronica:Danny and Rubble?

(Cuts to the team, Danny and Rubble are down on the sack)

Jimber:You know these guys?

Veronica:Sure, they're my cousins' friends.

(Ryder, Ranger, Katie, Ace and the pups come over)

Chase:What's going on?

Ryder and Ranger:Veronica?

Veronica:Hey cuz's.

Ace:Who are the others with you. And I mean besides Derek.

(Cuts to Veronica and her friends)

Veronica:This is, (Introduces the Twilight "Sci-Twi" Sparkle girl)Stela Spargle, (Introduces Fluttershy girl)Amber Adams, (Introduces the boy who looks like Snails)Ian "Stales" Staleworth. (Introduces Timber Spruce looking boy)This is Jimber Struce. (Introduces Spool)And this is Stela's dog Spool.

(Cuts to the Mystery Patrol)

Danny:Like extreme to meet you all.

Ryder:Say uh Veronica, what brings you guys here?

(Cuts to Veronica and her group)

Veronica:We were called in by the general to investigate a ghost report.

(Cuts to Amber)

Amber:His men keep hearing disturbances, but when they investigate nobody's there.

(We pan over to Stela)

Stela:But the clues, mainly footprints and candy wrappers prove that the intrudes are nothing but supernatural.

(Cuts back to scene)

Ranger:Well we've got to get into the focally before whoever these ghosts are, get their sorry butts inside.

(The gang walk off)

Ryder:Where are we going?

Ranger:To the base bro. Follow me,

(They walk off and two floating army uniforms emerge from the bushes and the PAW Patrol logo becomes the scene changer)

Derek:Let's use the access card the general gave us.

(Cuts to Stela using the card and the gates open revealing a screen door)

Chase:*This* is the strict security?

Skye:Yeah, it's just a screen door.

Derek:Now's not the time to complain about what the security is Skye, we've got work to do.

(They walk in and unnoticed to them, the floating army uniforms are following them and we fade to a Caucasian male with a gray buzzcut)

Derek:(OS)General McCarble, we have some disturbing news.

McCarble:Well now let me guess. (Cuts to the group)You've teamed up with little kids and some pups.

Danny:(Offended)Hey!

(Veronica introduces them)

Veronica:These are my cousins Ryder and Ranger and their friends. They're the PAW Patrol, or in this case the Mystery Patrol.

(Cuts back to the general)

McCarble:Well now, Ranger used to be a junior in the army.

(Cuts to the wall where there are pictures of Ranger as a little kid fighting and McCarble is in one giving him his badge for training and we cut back to the scene)

McCarble:(To Ranger)So what brings ya here son?

Ranger:Mayor Goodway called us to investigate, she says that your men hear sounds of doors opening and closing.

Rocky:Yeah and that your men hear voices.

Zuma:Not to mention that there are floating army uniforms.

McCarble:And I even put one'a them in the wacky box for thinking that they saw it.

(Cuts to Rubble)

Rubble:Wacky box? Isn't that like a kids' meal?

(Cuts to the general)

McCarble:Not that kind of wacky box pup. Only if what you're sayin' is true then we need to make sure they don't get in.

(Cuts to Danny and Rubble)

Danny:Like that may be too late sir.

(He leans close to Danny)

McCarble:And why's that?

Danny:Because we heard sounds of footsteps following us in here.

(Cuts to Stela and Jimber)

Stela:Wait a second. General didn't your men reported two missing uniforms from the closet?

(Cuts back to scene)

McCarble:Yeah, and I had them put the base on lock down to catch the thief. And check to see if they were at the wash.

Amber:What about the invisible camouflage suits?

McCarble:That too. You think all you kids can do it?

Ryder:We know we can.

Ranger:And you forget, I'm the best junior pilot you had. Let's go out and catch these invisible troopers.

Ryder:Yeah, let's go guys!

(The groups run out and the pups howl and Spool is heard saying)

Spool:Let's get these guys!

(We fade to the uniform closet and they gang find two bags laying on the floor)

Spool:Two bags which would probably contain the missing uniforms.

(Stela finds a piece of cloth)

Stela:Hmmm.

Ace:What is it Stela?

Stela:This piece of cloth looks like a clue.

Ace:Yeah, it looks like an invisible piece of camouflage.

Both:(Realizing)Jinkies!

Chase:(OS)Hey guys. (Cuts to him)I found something else. Bootprints, the very same that would be worn by soldiers. Only these are muddy ones.

(Derek comes up to him)

Derek:By jove you've got it Chase!

(Cuts to Veronica)

Veronica:Maybe once we find the Invisible Trooper Ghosts, we'll be closer to solving the mystery.

(Cuts to scene, they walk off and we cut to the gang walking as they look for clues)

Spool:Lookin' for clues, lookin' for clues, if we look at the facts and we follow the tracks, look at the facts, follow the tracks, we'll solve it, we'll solve it.

Stela:I'll give you a Spooly Snack if you'll stop.

Spool:OK.

(Tosses him a Spooly Snack)

(Cuts to Veronica)

Veronica:We're getting nowhere gang. Let's split up, Stela and Jimber go with Spool and Amber. Derek and I will check the basement.

(Cuts to Ryder)

Ryder:Katie and I will check the berets, Ranger and Ace find some clues, the pups go their own way.

(Cuts to scene)

Veronica:Right, ok guys, let's go.

(They go their ways which only leaves Danny and Stales)

Danny:Well Stales, you like to eat?

Stales:Yeah I like to eat, I like to rade a haunted place's kitchen.

Danny:You're my kind of guy. C'mon, let's check the chow hall.

Stales:What's the chow hall?

Danny:In military that means cafeteria.

Stales:Why didn't ya say so in the first place? Let's go.

(We fade to them both in the cafeteria where they look around)

Stales:So you guys catch crooks too?

Danny:Like yeah, say uh how long did Veronica and Derek make your team?

Stales:After the Seductive Succubus mystery. We're all friends in high school.
