Taffy-Dare, Velma and others in “Unfinished Business”

I was born in 1994 when I was a kid in 1997.

Velma

Look at that. For the time ever, the sidekicks have solved the mystery.

Now, let's see exactly who Lord Infernicus is. (unmasks the Lord Infernicus)

The Funky Phantom?!

That's me, don't you know.

But why?

I was sick of being a sidekick. Resentful, even. I'm not a real ghost. I'm Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore, actor, thespian, dramatator. I was behind in my rent at the Y, so a friend told me about this clock I could squat in. When they found me and thought I was a ghost, I figured why not. Ghost gig got me 3 hots and a cot, but I got tired of taking a back seat, don't you know. I wanted to headline. I wanted to be the boss. In charge, even. With my own sidekicks. That's when I stumbled upon the mystery solvers state finals. I had workshopped my Lord Infernicus character at various comedy clubs and state fairs around the country. And it has always been a hit. It was a simple matter to use mirrors and a video projector to make myself appear and fly. A little smoke, fireworks, a skeleton puppet identical to my own bone structure for close-up work, a pre-recorded voice, and the deed was done. I even abducted my own cat Boo. The plan was to ship everyone off to Africa, where there is a desperate need for teenage mystery solvers. I then created the ruse with the Guinea pigs; sewing each of their tiny costumes by hand, using the actual vintage fabrics of their real life counterparts just to throw you off track. It was perfect. Genius, even. Until your ridiculous dog started acting like a HERO instead of a SIDEKICK.

(annoyed) Ohhh.

You lied to me. Meow! (attacks Mudsy)

Shaggy

Hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
