Upon immediately realizing that whoever was behind the camp hauntings was going to blow the dam at Camp Big Moose and flood Camp Little Moose to find the hidden treasure of Ricky LaRue, the Mystery Incorporated crew and the Mane 6 decided that they needed to get back to Camp Little Moose and rescue their friends that they had left behind.
So, Sunny and Pipp and Zipp took to the sky while the others leapt into the Mystery Machine, and the three flyers guided the Mystery Machine down the road and toward Camp Little Moose as fast as they could go.
But when they got to the camp, their hearts sank with fear and heartache at what they saw.
The cabins were completely destroyed, and their friends weren't anywhere within their sight, sparking a further worry. “Looks like the Woodsman had a field day while we were gone,” Zipp said, pulling out her visor. “Spread out, guys-- our friends have to be around here somewhere.”
That's when they all split up and started calling out to their friends.
“Luke!”
“GLORY!!!”
“Burt!”
“Trudy!”
“Seashell, where are you?!”
“PEACH FIZZ!!!”
“Oh, what if we don't find them?” Pipp asked, worry immediately laced in her tone. “What if the Woodsman found them?! What if he--?!”
“Hey hey hey, Pipp, hey,” Zipp hugged her little sister close. “You're gonna be okay-- they're gonna be okay. We'll find them, I promise.”
But just then, the door to one of the only remaining structures opened, revealing Burt and the young campers within. “You're back!” Burt cried in relief. “That old boy chopped up my camp faster than a beaver with a buzz saw!”
“Pipp!!” Peach Fizz cried as she and her friends came out of the structure, and Pipp, Shaggy and Scooby, along with Sunny, ran forward and hugged them tightly, grateful that they were all safe and sound. “We-- we were so scared!” Glory said, hugging Scooby tightly and trying to keep from crying. “I thought he was gonna find us!”
“He didn't, though, and you guys are safe,” Sunny told her. “And that's all that matters.”
“We're so sorry, Fred,” Luke apologized as he went over to Fred, with Seashell right behind. “If we were real Little Moosers... we would have stopped him from destroying our camp.”
“Yeah. And now...” Seashell looked at all the cabins... well, what was left of them. “...we have nothing left.”
Fred could immediately see the two were disheartened, and kneeled to their level to comfort them. “Hey, don't be so hard on yourselves, guys. Little Moose isn't about the cabins and the canoes and campfires. The true spirit of Little Moose is in here,” he said, pointing to their chests. “And you all have got it.”
Seashell looked up at him. “We do?”
Fred nodded and stood up before beginning the Little Moose camp cheer. “High in the mountains...”
“Deep in the spruce,” Luke recited next. “On the shore of the lake...” Zipp and Hitch spoke the next line. “It's Camp Little Moose,” Trudy said before they all did the final line together. “Little Moose, Little Moose, Liiiiittllle Moose!!”
This caused everyone to laugh, reminding themselves that even though the camp was gone, they still had each other... and that was all that mattered.
Suddenly, after the laughter died down, Velma suddenly thought of something. “If the Woodsman didn't find the Pippsqueaks, Burt, Luke and Trudy... then he thinks the camp is empty.”
“So?” Scooby tilted his head. “What she means is that if he thinks the camp is empty,” Misty clarified, “then he probably thinks that it's okay to--”
Suddenly, a series of loud explosions coming from the dam caused the group to scream and turn to look that way. It was just like they had feared... the dam was bursting open, and the water was coming their way fast!
They had to get away from the flood, otherwise things would NOT end well for any of them. “Everybody! Into the van!” Fred shouted. “Flyers too!” Zipp shouted. “We can’t risk anything happening to one of us!”
“But is there even room for all of us?!” Hitch wondered out loud. “We’re about to find out!” Pipp grunted as she shoved Hitch into the van. “Now move it or lose it!”
Everyone managed to get in, though it was a tight squeeze, and they immediately began driving down the road as fast as they could, keeping an eye on the water through the back doors of the van.
But upon seeing Fred in the backseat with a majority of the group, Daphne suddenly had a thought. “Fred, if you're back here, then who's driving?!”
When the group looked, Scooby was behind the wheel with the Pippsqueaks sitting behind him, and Seashell suddenly turned to the Great Dane. “Wow, Scooby-- I didn’t know that you could drive!”
“Uh…” Scooby gulped nervously, “...I can’t!”
Hearing this, along with the water gaining on them, instantly caused the group to scream at the top of their lungs while Scooby took some wild turns as they headed for the Little Moose Lake dock.
Unfortunately, as they began driving on the dock with the flood right behind them, Shaggy suddenly realized something after looking ahead of them. “Like, we’re running out of dock!”
“Everypony, brace yourselves!!” Sunny shrieked as they all held onto each oither just before Scooby went off the dock… only for the Mystery Machine to land on two canoes that were sitting there, much to their relief.
But they weren’t out of harms way yet-- not by a long shot.
The flood came up from behind them like a giant tsunami wave that tossed them around wildly, with Hitch trying his best not to puke.
The wave soon carried them toward the banks of the lake, crashing into the side of it and letting the Mystery Machine try and climb up the steep banks. “We’re never gonna make it!!!” Peach Fizz cried, covering her eyes with her hooves. “Even if we don’t make it… at least we’re all together,” Seashell told her best friends sincerely. “Pippsqueaks forever?”
Glory and Peach Fizz nodded and put their hooves on Seashell’s. “Pippsqueaks forever!”
Their cutie marks let out a light that turned into wisps of magic that flew out of the Mystery Machine and behind it, giving it the boost it needed to make it onto solid ground.
At last… they were safe… temporarily, anyway.
Once everyone had caught their breath, Pipp turned to Scooby with relief. “Scooby, that driving was amazing! Did you plan that?!”
“Nope,” Scooby said before chuckling nervously. “But it was good thing the Pippsqueaks’ cutie mark magic helped you, otherwise we would be under that water and we would've never escaped in time” Sunny said before turning to the fillies. “Good work, you three.”
“Thanks, Sunny, but for the record,” said Seashell, “we NEVER wanna do that again.”
“Dually noted.”
“Look!” Velma suddenly pointed something out. “Big Moose Lake is almost completely gone.”
True to her word, the last amount of water was flowing out of Big Moose lake and into the valley where Camp Little Moose used to be, and before long, a sight that no had seen in a long time had caught their attention.
And what was that sight, you may wonder?
It was Moose Creek, the town that the owner mentioned back at the museum, that had finally returned.
And within that small town was the key to solving this whole mystery once and for all.
