Revolta was hard at work, keeping a close eye on the cauldron as the Grim Creeper placed helmets on the girl ghouls' heads. “Prepare the girls, Creeper. The potion is ready.”
“Yes, Revolta.”
“When the clock strikes midnight,” Revolta went on, “those girls will be revoltized!”
“Ha ha ha ha! How wretchedly revolting for them. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!”

As the cadets flew in the open skies in search of the girls, Miguel used the scope to scan around when a familiar chittering. “I'm picking up bats!”
“Any visual sightings?” Tug asked. “Negative,” Miguel responded before he spotted something that made him change his answer. “Hold it! Sound emanating from that castle. Coordinates 30, 18, 52.”
Jamal checked the map and moved his eyes to those coordinates to see where exactly they were, and the result of that made him tense up nervously. “Castle Revolta!”
“Hang on, cadets!” Tug steered the vehicle toward the castle. “We'll check it out!”

At the same time, the group had arrived at the same wall that Scooby had used to enter Revolta's lair, but to their dismay, it wouldn't budge, no matter how much they pushed and shoved.
Midnight strained as she pushed against the wall, turning to the Great Dane next to her. “Are you sure this is how you got into Revolta's lair, Scoob?”
Scooby stopped pushing in order to answer her. “I think so.”
“Gee,” Scrappy spoke up, “there must be another way in.”
“Like, there's no time,” Shaggy checked his watch as the wall opened up behind him, Scooby, Misty and Midnight. “It's midniiiight!!!”
As the boys and their two friends fell back behind the wall and down the slide, screaming as the others had no idea where they had gone, that's when the clock finally struck midnight, making Revolta smirk. “The time has come.”
She dipped a tube into the cauldron, which sent the potion through several different tunes that went into the helmets that the girls were currently wearing. As this happened, the girls began to change as Revolta began to chant. “The chance has begun. As anyone can plainly see... they're turning evil, just like me.”
Winnie then let out a howl of terror, to which the Calloway cadets heard from a mile away. “Whoa...” Miguel shuddered. “I'd know that howl anywhere.”
“Affirmative,” Jamal nodded. “It's those Grimwood girls for sure.”
“We're going in!” Tug guided the copter closer to the roof, where the cadets heard Revolta talking to her loyal servant. “Yes, no more nice girls. Just think, Creeper... I'll have an evil SWAT team to do my bidding.”
“Ha ha ha ha! The world will be in the palm of your hands, Revolta!”
Suddenly the wall opened up, and out slid Shaggy, Scooby, Midnight and Misty, barreling into Winnie and Tanis, knocking them over and out of the potion's effects. Revolta sneered upon seeing them, turning to glare at the Creeper. “I thought you got rid of them!”
“I-I won't fail this time, Revolta!” the Creeper promised, reaching out and grabbing the four of them with his grimy tentacles. “Gotcha!”
“Winnie!” Tanis looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. “Where are we?”
“I don't know,” Winnie spoke up, just before looking over at the girls instructors. “But our teachers are in trouble!”
“HELP!!!” Scooby, Shaggy and their friends screamed, and Tanis and Winnie joined their friends in pulling against the creature. “Revolta!” the one-eyed monster yelled. “Give me a hand! Or two! Or three!”
“Don't worry!” Revolta turned to her spider-bats and zapped them with her magic. “My spider-bats
will put those girls back under my spell!”
The spider-bats quickly flew into action, but the Calloway cadets had a plan of their own. “Don't panic, girls!” Tug assured. “We'll rescue you!”
Grunt then dropped a water balloon onto one of the spider-bats, causing it to black out. “Direct hit!”
“Affirmative, Grunt. You're batting 1,000.”
Winnie couldn't believe what they were seeing, so she and Tanis let go out of shock and skepticism. “You're gonna rescue us?”
“That's a laugh.”
“WHOA!!!!” the four friends screamed as they were flung into the Creeper, causing them to burst through the wall to reveal the others on the other side. “See, everypony?” Scrappy said proudly. “I knew my uncle Scooby would come and get us.”
“Wrong!” the Creeper stated, reaching a tentacle and grabbing Scrappy and Matches. “I've got all of you!”
Matches tried to defend the group with his dragon fire, but it turns out he was still out of steam. That's when Sunny had an idea. “We may not have dragon fire, but we do have our cutie mark unity magic!”
Thinking hard about her endangered friends, Sunny swiftly turned into an alicorn and launched a blast at the Creeper, knocking him back, even though he still had Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy and some of their friends in his clutches. “Whooooo-hoooo!!” Midnight cheered. “Go get him, Sunny!”
“Zipp, Pipp! You two and me will the cadets with the spider-bats!” Sunny instructed. “Misty, keep your eye on the Creeper! The rest of you, get the girls!”
The group then split up to cover their duties, while Pipp and Zipp threw water balloons at the spider-bats, Sunny hit them with full-on magical blasts. “Bat's eye!” Grunt cheered as he hit another spider-bats, and Elsa rolled her eyes. “You Calloway cadets are such show-offs.”
“I'll teach you to mess with Revolta!” the spider-witch threatened. “Take that!”
“Whoa!!” Pipp dodged one of Revolta's magic blasts. “Tug!” Zipp shouted. “Institute evasive action, pronto!”
“Roger, and out of here!” Tug nodded and piloted the copter a short distance away, but it was enough to make Revolta think they fled with an evil cackle. “That's the last we'll see of them.”
Tanis pulled Sibella's helmet off her head, and as she flew back, Hitch caught the tiny mummy in her hooves. “Gee,” Tanis said to Sibella, “you've been under the hair dryer so long, you were getting cranky.”
“Get back under there!” Revolta spat at the girls threateningly. “Or else!”
Elsa merely crossed her arms as Zipp unfolded her wings threateningly. “You can't tell Zipp Storm or Elsa Frankenteen what to do!”
“Then watch what I can DO to your friends!!”
Revolta sent a magic zap toward Scooby, who was struck head on, transforming Scooby into a toad! Midnight and Misty screamed in terror while Shaggy looked down in fright. “Zoinks! Like, wart in the world has she done to you, Scoob?”
The toad-turned Scooby only ribbited and leapt right into Revolta's hands. “I'll change the others into something worse than toads unless you girls obey me!”
Sibella sighed reluctantly, and the ponies reluctantly sat down. “You win, Revolta,” the vampiress sighed as Scooby hopped into hiding... but it didn't last long when a spider-bat spotted him and chased him across the table, knocking more ingredients into the potion, turning it from green to magenta, and causing the girls to become even sweeter than before. “Ahh!!” Revolta cried. “Something's gone wrong with my formula!”
“But something's going right with Matches!” Scrappy pointed to the dragon, who breathed fire on the spider-bat in order to save Scooby, and the spider-bat knocked over Revolta's entire potion system, much to her annoyance. Deciding that it was time to end this once and for all, Tanis began to spin one of her wraps around like a lasso. “I want that wand, Revolta!”
She threw the wrap around the wand and pulled it back just as Pipp was trying to protect Shaggy from being zapped as well, and Misty took the mummy onto her back after breaking free and rushed Tanis over to Scooby. “Creeper!” Revolta shrieked. “Stop them!”
“Yes, Revolta!” the Creeper began to obey, but screeched to a halt when he approached Matches. “I mean, no, Revolta! YIKES!!”
“I want our Scooby-Doo back!” Tanis cried and zapped Scooby again, causing him to be returned to normal, much to Misty's relief, and Scooby's. “Thanks, Tanis!”
“I'll take that, Tanis,” Pipp took the wand from the mummy. “My wand!” Revolta cried. “Bring it here... obey me!”
“I think I'll put it where it belongs,” Pipp tossed the wand into the cauldron. “In the fire!”
“MY WAND!!” Revolta shrieked as the potion began to rapidly bubble. “You fool! It's over-generizing the potion. It will explode!”
“Explode?!” Winnie howled. “We're gonna be gone with the wand!”
“The sisters, Sunny and I could fly us out,” Sibella said, “but we can only take one at a time!”
“No offense,” panted Hitch nervously, “but I think we're all out of time!”
Suddenly, a rope ladder, lowered by the cadets, appeared from the hole in the roof. “Negative!” Tug shouted. “Calloway will save the day! Hop aboard!”
Everyone who couldn't fly either hopped onto the ladder or onto the back of Sunny and the sisters, flying them out quickly just before the entire cast exploded, probably leaving Revolta and Creeper to perish within the explosion. “Zoinks!” Shaggy exclaimed. “Looks like Revolta's gonna need a redecorator!”
“Yeah-- really!” Scooby giggled along with Midnight and Pipp. “Hang on, girls!” Tug shouted down to them. “We'll have you back to school in no time!”
“Back to school?” Elsa asked. “How about dropping us back in the bog?”
“Yeah!” Tanis agreed. “We never got to take a dip in the quicksand.”
“We'll never understand girls!” Miguel groaned, leaving Baxter to nod. “Especially Grimwood girls.”
The group laughed as they flew through the open skies, when Pipp suddenly had an idea, flying over to Midnight's spot on the ladder with Tanis on her back. “Midnight? Can I ask you something?”
The kirin quickly nodded. “Anything, Pipp!”
“...how do you feel about music?”
