Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo Page #4

---

Push us off, Shaggy.

[VELMA GASPS]

[ALL GROANING]

Nice footwork, Shaggy.

Let's get this back to the castle

and analyze it for clues.

I can't believe

how you saved us like that.

Yeah, well, I do have some major feet.

It's more than your feet, Shaggy.

It's you. You're so amazing, so forceful.

I think you're the bravest,

most wonderful boy I have ever known.

Oh, gee, Madelyn. I like you too.

Aw. Mwah, mwah, mwah.

It's getting late.

[CREATURE SCREECHES]

[SHAGGY & SCOOBY YELP]

MAN [ON GPS]:
What are you waiting for?

Directions? Drive!

SHAGGY:

Shoo, griffin.

Like, be gone already.

I think the batteries are dead.

Hey, I put a box of magic explosives

in the van for practice on the field.

Like, Scooby-Doo,

let's strike this griffin out.

Yeah, strike-out.

[TRUCK HORN HONKING]

Uh-oh. I think Scooby dropped

a live explosive in the box.

- Like, which one?

- I can't tell.

We haven't lost him yet, guys.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Hurry, inside.

MAN [ON GPS]:

Hey, you're gonna leave me out here?

What's all the ruckus?

[GRIFFIN SCREECHES]

Griffin attack, run.

Huh?

Let's get the staff to Whirlen.

[GASPS]

Oh, no.

Like, don't do it.

[MADELYN SCREAMS]

- Madelyn!

MADELYN:
Velma!

SHAGGY:

Oh, no.

Mr. Curdles, events have taken

a terrible turn over here.

You might wanna see for yourself.

WHIRLEN:

I don't understand.

Why are you taking

all these magic tricks?

They're the only weapons we have

against the griffin.

But you don't even know

where the griffin's taken her.

We have a pretty good idea.

We believe it's called the Griffin's Roost

for a reason.

The Griffin's Roost? But it's not safe.

The whole place is liable to crash down

on your heads.

We'll be careful.

Besides, if there are any clues...

...I'm sure we'll find them there.

[METAL CLANGING]

Like, I'm ready.

Why are you wearing armor?

Because even with this magic doohickey,

I need all the protection I can get.

Whirly, are you all right?

This griffin business has beaten me,

Marlon.

It's time to bring down the curtain

on this magic school.

My dream.

[CLAPPING]

Touching. Touching.

Your most heartfelt performance,

Whirlen.

Now, rejoice.

Kindly Calvin Curdles is here...

...with the silver lining

to your cloud of despair.

How did you get in?

Through the door.

I'm prepared to take

this monster-blighted castle off your hands.

I'll even give you a third... No, no, no.

Make that an eighth

of what you paid for it.

Well, this is hardly the time

for real-estate transactions.

When it comes to business matters...

...Calvin Curdles was never one

to consider people's feelings.

Now, now, Alma,

perhaps I'm doing us all a favor.

You've said there was no griffin

before these two took over the castle.

- But we're not to blame.

- It's okay, Marlon.

Where do I sign?

I think you should wait till we get back.

There's more to this griffin business

than meets the eye.

You know, I really, really don't like her.

Just give us an hour. Let's go, guys.

[SNARLS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SCREAMS]

- What happened?

- Like, it was the banshee.

But she split when Scooby tripped.

VELMA:

It's a wire.

- What is it, a camera?

- I don't think so, Fred.

MADELYN:

Help! Help!

Madelyn.

Madelyn? Where?

Up here.

[MADELYN SCREAMS]

MADELYN:

Help! Help!

Help!

Can anybody hear me? Help!

[CRYING]

[SCREAMS]

The stair moved.

[THUDS]

FRED:

Here's a way out.

MADELYN:

Help! Help!

She's on the other side.

[CRACK]

[CREAKING]

[SCREECHING]

Try the staff again.

The staff?

Like, you shall not pass, man.

It worked.

[LAUGHING]

[GRIFFIN GROWLS]

It didn't work.

We're done for.

[SCREECHES]

Not yet.

Let him have it.

The smoke bombs.

[GIGGLING]

FRED:

Run!

Shaggy, Scooby, are you okay?

Like, I think I still have all my pieces.

FRED:

Stay there, we'll come back with help.

That's the best idea I've heard,

like, ever.

[GRIFFIN SCREECHES]

SCOOBY:
The griffin.

- It's back.

But, like, Fred told us to stay right here.

Help! Help! Can anybody hear me?

Like, she'll probably be okay

until help comes, don't you think?

Shaggy, Madelyn likes you.

Well, since you put it that way, Scoob.

Like, dude, peep that crazy lock,

and that's without the key.

Shaggy, look.

Huh?

Good work, Scoob.

Yeah.

Shaggy.

Hey, Mads, you okay?

I am now.

I mean, the griffin dropped me in the tower,

then flew off.

I hope he doesn't come back

for a midnight snack.

[GRIFFIN GROWLING]

SHAGGY:
Quick, Scooby-Doo, pull something

out of that bag that will help us escape.

Okay.

We can climb down on these.

Like, I don't know.

It seems kind of flimsy.

[SCOOBY & SHAGGY SCREAM]

- Come on.

SCOOBY:
Go.

Like, beat it, Tweety.

Where's the seat belt on this thing?

[MADELYN SCREAMS]

CURDLES:

Those kids won't find anything.

Why delay the inevitable?

I suppose you're right.

But I do hate letting down my students.

Oh, yes, it's a tragedy. Sign here, please.

The griffin is in the old tower.

Come on.

There they are.

MADELYN:

Shaggy, try the staff again.

- Dude, it's a fake.

- Just try.

I totally command you.

By the powers of Houdini,

the Wizard of Oz...

...and, um, the English kid

with the glasses...

...to put us down.

Like, dude, we're losing altitude.

Little help, little help!

Shaggy got him. Isn't that incredible?

Yeah.

You really are brave.

Like, don't squeeze me, Madelyn.

You're denting my metal.

[GRIFFIN ROARS]

The poor thing looks hurt.

Why doesn't it fly away?

[METAL CREAKING]

There's your answer.

- The griffin, it's a gigantic puppet?

VELMA:
Correct.

This whole charade is making sense now.

Run!

MARLON:

Whoa.

Marlon, you?

Marlon operated that contraption trying

to scare everyone away once and for all.

But Shaggy and Scooby spoiled his plans.

So the monster never was real.

No, just a more sophisticated version

of the puppets in your magic act...

...when you and Marlon were kids.

The blimp carried the griffin beneath it

to make it look like it was flying.

But how did he disguise the blimp?

Remember how every time

the griffin appeared, it was foggy?

The blimp generated

its own concealing fog bank.

I noticed some of the bottles

in Marlon's workshop were marked glycerol.

A chemical used by professional illusionists

in fog machines.

I used the fog to hide the blimp...

...then worked the griffin through

this handheld animatronic control.

[ROARS]

What about when the griffin attacked us

in the tower?

- It couldn't have been the same puppet.

- It wasn't.

After Whirlen bought the castle,

I started renovating the Griffin's Roost.

I discovered Lord O' Flannery had rigged

parts of the tower with devices of his own...

...to make superstitious people

think a monster lived there.

When trespassers entered the tower...

...they would be driven away

by the attacking griffin.

I kept the secret to myself...

...and outfitted the worn-out machinery

with state-of-the-art equipment.

Okay, but who is the banshee?

- Another puppet, right?
