A/N: Greetings! Here's chapter 3. A big thanks to Holliex3 for actually reviewing on this wacky crossover.

Ages:

Mystery Inc. : 21 to 23 years of age, differing between each character. Scooby is an unknown.

Monster Force "kids": 18-19 years of age because it says they're teenagers but are going to a university.

Monster Force leader - Reed Crawley: I'm guessing anywhere between 28 and 31... It says he's young and he really doesn't look that much older than the rest of the group.

Chapter 3

The three girls sat in the front seat of the Mystery Machine; Daphne driving, Velma sitting the middle and Shelley by the door. The auburn-haired girl reached into her robe and grabbed her Monster Force compad to contact her teammates while Velma and Daphne talked.

"Daphs, couldn't we get dressed first? It feels weird going around in this robe."

"Velma, stop worrying just pretend like you got a dress on!"

"Easy for you to say... Unlike you, I don't like people staring at me." Suddenly, she gently tapped Daphne's arm while at a stop light to get her to look at Shelley and whispered, "What's she up to...?"

"Guys; Luke, Lance, Tripp, come in! It's Shelley!" Shelley called into the com as she worked the button to clear it of the static, getting frustrated, she had to make the call a little more urgent, "Monster Force, sound in!" Her cousin and Velma gave each other a confused looked and mouthed the words "Monster Force?" Silently asking each other what the younger girl was talking about.

"Luke here."

"Tripp here. Shells, that you?"

"Lance reportin' in! What's up Shells, no fun hangin' with another girl?" Shelley rolled her and hit the com button.

"Yeah, Tripp, it's me. Lance, this is no time for jokes!" The was a small pause after this before she heard Luke's soft voice come through the spearker.

"Shelley, what's wrong? Are you okay? Do you need help?" The poor boy was getting more worried with question.

"Luke, calm down, I'm fine."

"Then why did you call us?" Lance piped up.

"Bacause, Reed's in the hospital, he was attacked at Lovecraft!"

"WHAT?" The three boys' response was so loud that Shelley had to move the com as far from her as she could.

"What happened, Shells!" Lance demanded, sounding more nervous than angry. Shelley quickly tried to settle the boys' nerves.

"Guys, calm down. My cousin is driving me to the hospital right now to check on him. Here's what we need to do," She took a small breath before continuing, "Luke, I need you at the hospital with me. Lance, Tripp, I need you to sneak into Reed's lab at Lovecraft and see what clues and readings you can find. We have to figure out who did this."

"Ok, Shelley, I head to the hospital as soon as I can. Which one is it?"

"Matterson General."

"Got it, thanks!"

"Shells, Lance here, Tripp and I are headin' out. We'll call you when we get there, ok?"

"Good, we'll be awaiting the call."

"Monster Force out!" The four said in unison, used to after all this time. Shelley turned down the com's battery usage and looked up to see Daphne and Velma looking at her.

"What?"

"Monster Force?" Daphne asked, a conserned look on her face. Shelley quickly swallowed and made up a lie since very few people knew about Monster Force and Reed was starting to keep it quiet unless needed so that their enemies wouldn't end up hurting his student's families.

"Uh, it's a silly little club name the guys and I made up." She quickly looked out the window, Daphne and Velma didn't buy it, but there was no time to question it since Daphne was pulling up to the hospital in the parking lot. Before Daphne could stop, Shelley throw open the door and jumped out of the car, landng and rolling with practiced ease. Daphne parked while she and Velma simply stared in awe of what just happened.

"Jinkies, where did you say your cousin worked again...?"

"Ya know, I haven't got a clue. But I'm really starting to wonder about her with the way she's been acting..."

~Inside~

Robe tied tight, Shelley agilely weaved herself through the crowds of med staff and patients once she got the number for Reed's room. She skidded to a halt on the slick floor in front of his door just as Luke was getting there.

"That was quick."

"I know right?" The boy with glasses chuckled slightly before quickly stopping and reachin for the door, "There's no time to stand around here laughing." With this, both opened the door and quickly shut it. The two headed straight for Reed's bed, the older man lay unconscious.

"Man, he looks horrible, who would do this!"

"Calm down, Luke. We gotta keep a level head..." She pulled out her compad while he just stared at her, "What?"

"Nothin'... Uhm... Why're you wearing a robe...?" He asked, trying not to look at how nice it looked on her.

"It's a long story, c'mon, focus!"

"Right. Ok, so, Reed can hold his own against most humans, even without his EMAC. So, it would have to have been a monster attack."

"It was, it showed his lab after the attack; there were claw marks everywhere."

"Ok, monster readings desolve after a time but they can't be washed away. See what the com can pick up, I'll see if I can pick up a scent."

"Good thinking." Shelley started to push in command on the compad as Luke removed his glasses and did a partial transformation (so not to rip his shirt or shoes) into his wolfman form and started to sniff around.

"I can smell something but he's got so much meds going through his system that the smell of chemicals and old blood are canceling it out slightly. You get anything?" His voice far more coarse and deep in this form.

"Yes, it's not very strong though... As if, whatever attacked him had little residu to give off or it was blocked. Which would explain why you couldn't get much to work with. I'm gonna call Lance and Tripp, see what they found because these readings aren't in any of the listings in ourmonster arcive.

While the two went about their duty, they were being watched from behind the door by Daphne and Velma. The two young women had to keep their hands over their mouths to keep quiet, what they had seen and heard was far too strange, even for these girls and they knew from experience that it would only get worse.

~Lovecraft Univeristy~

Tripp turned on his jeep, they had just gotten to the university and need to find a way.

"Tripp, Lance, come in, it's Shelley."

"Tripp, what' up, Shells? The Doc ok?" Tripp answered as he watched Lance pulled their gear out of the back of the jeep.

"I'm not really sure, the readings on these machines say he's in a coma and that he's just barely stable and any little thing could knock his health into a downwards spiral."

"Well that's not good..."

"And you?"

"Well actually, we just got here and the whole place is on lock down with police guarding it. Looks like we'll have to break in to get that info."

"Sounds good, Luke and I will stay here with Reed. Meet us here when you're done, okay?"

"Got it, Tripp out!" The african american teenager cut the comlink and turned to his companion who was grubling about something or other.

"The Doc ok?" The grumbling blond finally asked once he noticed Tripp walking over to him.

"Depends what you mean by ok. He's currently in a coma and his health is critical..."

"That's not good...! Man, I knew we shouldn't have left him! He's always ticking somebody off while we're gone!" Lance huffed and blew his long bangs out of his eyes as the two headed for a service entrance to the university.

~~~~~~A/N: Ok, so I was talking to a friend of mine on Deviant Art about if I should put a lot of romance in this story or just have the characters makes passes and give hints. I got a question for my lovely readers, which of these romance options should I go with and which couples?It's all up to you guys. Also, are the characters in character enough? It's been a long time since I've seen Scooby doo.
