Scenes with Pericles 24

So you see, Professor Pericles, it's over. You're not the boss here. I am. And you're out of the group.

Pericles

(tortures Ricky with by pressing the remote control button on Cobra larvae) Oh, Ricky, Ricky, my loyal Brad and Judy told me of your little mutiny. So, last night while you were asleep, I put mutated cobra larvae in your spine. Every time I press this button, a little venom is released. So, as you can see, or feel, I'm still very much in control. You do as I say. First, we steal the Planispheric Disk from the kinder, then we destroy them. (laughs hysterically) WE DESTROY THEM! (laughs again)

EFEvil Fred

Get me out of this. He's the fake.

They're, like, identical, right down to the ascot.

Which one's the real Fred?

(to Evil Fred) Freddie, how do you feel about me?

EFEvil Fred

What do you mean? You're my love, Daphne. I'm crazy about you.

(to Fred) And you?

Uh, gosh. Gee, Daph, you know, I-- well, I guess aside from traps and solving mysteries, um... er, my stomach's getting hurty.

Oh, Freddie. It's you! (kisses Fred)

(Velma shuts down the magnetic machine, Evil Fred and Fred fall down to the floor)

EFEvil Fred

Well, if you're so smart, then who am I really?

You're one of the most heartless criminals Mystery Inc. has ever faced. Aren't you, dad? (tries to unmask Evil Fred but realizes it's not a mask)

EFEvil Fred/Brad

Ow! It's not a mask, you imbecile. I had plastic surgery to look like you. You would have spotted a mask too quickly.

I don't know what you think you were doing. You're supposed to be my father. But how could you try to impersonate me when you know absolutely nothing about me?

If he's Brad, that makes you Fred's sneaky criminal mom, Judy. (tries to unmask Old Daphne but realizes it's not a mask either)

ODOld Daphne/Judy

Ouch! Watch it. I had plastic surgery, too.

I know.

Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves? (chuckles) But, like, why?

Yeah. Why?

For the treasure. What else? It was the genius mind of Professor Pericles that thought up the whole plan. Wasn't it, Judy?

That's right, Brad. While we went under the knife, Professor Pericles had Mr. E arrange for the Crystal Cove studio to be changed into an exact replica of the town.

Except more end of the world-ish, obviously.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but that's just crazy.

Pericles

(shows up) Is it, Velma? Or is it so brilliant you cannot begin to fathom its true genius?

SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred

Professor Pericles?

You failed, Professor. You'll never get your filthy talons on this disk.

Pericles

On the contrary, Frederick. You are going to hand it over to me, along with my associates, your dear parents, or else I will destroy the one thing you care about most.

Zoinks!

(2 Kriegstaffebots grab her) Freddie!

Fine. You win. Take it.

Pericles

Excellent. (takes the Planispheric Disk) Auf Wiedersehen, you beautiful kinder.

(2 Kriegstaffebots throw Daphne into Fred and leave)

Good thing I had Jason Wyatt help me install this sound amplifying antenna in my binoculars. Let's listen in.

There's been no sign of her for weeks.

(The next scene depicts that Ricky is looking at the photo of Cassidy)

Who are you looking for?

Cassidy.

Maybe she finally gave up.

No, she would never give up. She's gone.

Pericles

Of course she's gone. Anyone who crosses me gets eliminated.

Um, Professor Pericles, you promised you would surgically alter me back to my stunning self by now. I'm so old like this. How long do you plan on making me suffer?

Pericles

I don't have time for such things. The treasure is almost within our grasp.

Besides, I'm the one who's suffering, not you, Judy.

How are you suffering, Brad?

Well, I'm the one who has to look at you all day, every day.

(gasps) That was very hurtful, Brad.

I'm sorry, Judy. I mean, grandma.

Well, at least I'm not walking around with that outrageous chin, Bradley.

Look at you, you're all coming unraveled. The closer we get to that treasure... (The next scene depicts that the gang is hearing the conversation of the old gang with amplifying binoculars) ...the more the curse takes over. Cassidy was right. She was right all along.

Like, the old Mystery Incorporated dudes are totally losing it.

(The next scene depicts that Pericles lights the lamp, pointing the Planispheric Disk)

Pericles

Zeek! Zeek! Die Zeit wird kommen! The time has almost arrived. (The lamp light passes through the holes in the Planispheric Disk pointing the right place) Focus all the digging on that spot. Und Ricky, when the entrance is found, have my Kriegstaffebots destroy all the workers. They have outlived their usefulness.

You monster! I'm not your trained monkey. I won't do it. I won't be a part of this madness anymore. (Pericles tortures Ricky with by pressing the button on Cobra larvae) Aah! Aah! Aah! Yes, pro--master. Whatever you command. I will-- have... (The next scene depicts the gang is hearing Ricky's words, shocked) ...the Kriegstaffebots destroy them all. Not one person from Crystal Cove will be left alive.

Pericles

All my years of searching to find this door! I have done it! It will lead us to the treasure and more. Soon, very soon, the world as we know it will never be the same again. Niemals! (puts the Planispheric Disk in the gate, making it open)

Professor, won't the kids just follow us in?

Pericles

Yes, they will. Und I need them too. I need Scooby-Doo. If I'm to take control of the great power below, the dog must be destroyed at just the right moment. Come! My destiny awaits. Und holen sie mir die Schachtel! (To Kriegstaffebots)

(The old gang and Kriegstaffebots enter the cave)

(The gang keeps the artifacts including Heart of the Jaguar)

All right, gang, now let's see where this uber mystery really leads. Ready?

Ready.

Like, ready.

Ready.

Professor Pericles is gonna regret the day he ever messed with Scooby-Dooby-Doo.

(The gang enters the cave)

Judy, I have to say, this dark cave is doing wonders for your complexion.

Really? It's so nice of you to notice. Thank you, Brad.

You're welcome, Judy. In this light, I can barely see your multitude of wrinkles and your mouth full of decaying teeth.

(gasps) That's it, Bradley! (starts fighting Brad)

Pericles

Stop it! You two are behaving like children.

(Kriegstaffebot grabs Judy after kicking Brad)

The cursed treasure is tearing us apart. I wish Cassidy were here to see you all go to pieces.

Pericles

Oh, Ricky, you always lacked the stomach for greatness. (to everyone) Forward! Marschieren!

(The old gang and Kriegstaffebots came to the giant gate)

Pericles

Beautiful (speaks in German)

I'm sorry to ask, Professor Pericles, but--

What are we waiting for?

Pericles

The kinder. I know they are out there following us. Give them a minute. They will soon understand their part in all this. But they must hurry. The planets are nearly in full alignment. The time of Nibiru is almost at hand.

Pericles

(watches the pocket clock) All right, you Mystery Incorporated. I know you're out there and you have the key.

(The gang hides behind the rock)

Even if the Mystery Incorporated kids are out there, what makes you think you can make them do what you want?

Pericles

(chuckles) Because, my dear Ricky, everyone has their weakness. (speaks German)

(Kriegstaffebot grabs Marcie out of trunk as a hostage)

Marcie! No!

Pericles

Good kinder. Now, come cooperate and I will not harm the Hot Dog Water.

(looks at the fourth key) I'll do it. I'll go.

No, we all go together. No splitting up. Never again.

(Fred smiles at Daphne)

(The gang walks near the first gate)

Mom, dad.

BJBrad and Judy

Son.

Pericles

Ahh, the fourth key. I know you had found them. Here, allow my Kriegstaffebots to open the gate. It is very dangerous.

(Kriegstaffebot tries to take the fourth key)

I don't need your help, Pericles.

Pericles

As you wish, Frederick.

(to the gang) If this gate is what I think it is, and I think it's a big fat trap, it might work in our favor. Hold on to something.

(Marcie grabs Pericles hardly)

Pericles

Ahh! What is the meaning of this? Put me down, you horrible girl.

Not a chance, you nasty little monster. (to Kriegstaffebots) Move and the bird gets it.

(Marcie tightens Pericles in her arm)

Pericles

(to Kriegstaffebots) (speaks German) Back off! No one move!

You guys go. Do what you have to do. I've been trapped in that box long enough to hear everything Professor Creepy Bird has in mind. Find that Entity and destroy it. I'll hold them off as long as I can. Go. Now!

No, Marcie. I won't. I can't.

You have to. The world needs you. Don't worry about me, V. I'll see you when this is over. (The gang leaves Marcie, the old gang and Kriegstaffebots behind) One more move and I pluck this ugly little chicken. (takes Pericles's feathers)

Pericles

Ow! (to Kriegstaffebots) Nein! Nein! Stop!

Heh.

You make me sick, Pericles. I wish I had never saved you all those years ago.

Pericles

Hmm. Do I care? No.

Maybe you should care.

Pericles

(shows the remote control) Perhaps you should care more about the poisonous cobra larvae implanted in your spine. Now, let's move.

Pericles

Looks like the kinder are having fun, and they're all still alive.

That's our Fred.

A chip off the old block.

Blockhead, more like.

Thank you, Judy. (annoyed) Hey!

You're insane. ALL of you. None of us are going to make it out of this alive. NONE OF US! (laughs) And I'm glad.

(The gang finally walks to the cursed treasure discovered)

(grabs the Heart of the Jaguar) Hmm? What do I do now?

(locked in a crystal sarcophagus) Open the sarcophagus.

It--it spoke.

Turn the lock. Set me free.

We aren't here to free you.

We're here to destroy you.

Destroy me? Never. You have no choice. This is your destiny. Everything you have done, you have done for me. I brought you together as I brought all those together before you. I made you into friends. Forced you into a group. I am the author of your every hope and dream. All to this purpose: you set me free.

Like, is this--this evil telling the truth? Like our whole life, our friendship has been a lie?

Maybe everything we think we know, none of it is real.

No. I--I refuse to believe it. (takes Fred's hand) My love for Fred is real. I know it. And I love you all. You're my best friends.

Daphne's right. Every word this thing spits out is a lie. (to Scooby) Destroy it.

This ends now. We'll never set you free.

Pericles

(shows up) That's too bad... (The old gang arrives with Kriegstaffebots) ...because I will.

(Scooby prepares to destroy the sarcophagus with the Heart of the Jaguar, but Pericles snatches it with his paws)

(Kriegstaffebots hold the gang and Pericles opens the sarcophagus)

The time of Nibiru has come. (comes out of the sarcophagus and laughs)

(laughs) Free! Free! I have been trapped too long. (laughs) (grabs Scooby-Doo)

Hey! What are you doing to Scoob? Hey!

Shaggy, help! (Fred and Shaggy tried to save Scooby but the Evil Entity hit them away from him)

Do not fight. The dog must die and be reborn as a vessel to my darkness. You should give me form. I shall walk this world a giant.

Never! (breaks free)

Pericles

Nein! Nein! Forget the dog! Consume me. Give me the power!

So be it.

(The Evil Entity seizes Pericles and pours its essence into his body, causing him to grow into a dark green giant)

Pericles

(laughs) After all these years I am unstoppable! (laughs again)

Dude! Somehow that parrot just keeps on getting creepier!

Pericles

(last words) Und I shall finally be rid of the Mystery Incorporated kinder! (The Evil Entity proceeds to subdue his consciousness) Aah! Something's wrong! What--WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?! AAAAAAHHHH!!

(The Evil Entity kills Pericles, mutating the parrot's body into a massive squid-like monster with horns and laughs)

Professor Pericles?

The bird is gone. I am flesh now! Flesh!

(last words) Oh, mighty one!

(last words) We are ready to serve.

Good, for I hunger. (consumes Brad and Judy alive to increase its own strength, the gang is totally shocked) I am your master now. (The Kriegstaffebots answers in German language) Bring the humans closer so that I may feast upon them and grow powerful enough to break my bonds. (The Kriegstaffebots aim at the gang)

I think now would be a very good time to--

Run!

(The gang and Ricky flee but Shaggy stops)

Like, Scooby-Doo! Where are you?! (starts running)

(laughs)

(Scooby-Doo attempts to destroy the Evil Entity with the Heart of the Jaguar, it breaks)

Uh-oh!

(laughs again, almost grabbed Scooby-Doo while he's running away from him) You cannot escape! You are powerless against me!

PPaula

Don't be silly, Norville, we're so proud. Our son, President of the Chefs Club, winner of the ultimate teen chef award and you've won the national junior epicurean of the year award 3 times in a row.

But, I--I'm like a slacker.

CColton

I don't buy that story for a second.

Shaggy, look.

(Shaggy and Scooby watch the TV about Creationex Corp.)

Here at Creationex, we've been blessed with inventing clean, sustainable fusion-based energy.

Now, my beautiful husband and I want to pass that blessing on to you by radically reducing our prices. (Ricky and Cassidy kiss)

Pericles

Creationex makes life better for everyone!

SSShaggy and Scooby
