Author's note: Hello, Fanfiction readers! I have returned to this story one last time to add a little something that could provide anticipation for more of what's to come in this potential series. I wasn't sure I could simply leave the adventures of Scooby-Doo and Spider-Man at one installment that I just had to set up another! For that matter, I wrote this also to partially confirm a fan theory that took place in the comments of this story throughout its stages of development. For those who weren't expecting another chapter, consider this a treat for anyone of you who wanted more from this story idea. Enjoy it, readers!


Quentin Beck could not believe himself. He hadn't fully relied on the prospect of his own foes turning his own strategy against him and now he found himself in the midst of a Rykers cell with all the other criminal low-lives like him. If anything comforted him it was the fact that he was now amongst his own kind. He hated pretending to be such a goody-two-shoes for the likes of anyone above his status - especially the Hex Girls. Now that he didn't have to deal with them anymore though, he had more room to meditate on something, anything, to get him out of prison when he could.

Whether his escape involved a mass breakout or something as simple as another bailing him out, he had no way of knowing how the world would come to his aid. Then he remembered it was almost his turn to phone someone for the day. He could phone a family member, an ally. Whoever it took for him to find a way out of prison, it would soon be the day that Mystery Inc. and Spider-Man would rue forever.

"Mr. Beck, you're free to phone someone for the day," said the jail guard approaching his cell. "Whatever you do, don't try anything stupid."

There was an air of certainty as Beck made his way across the prison towards the phoning room, the guards escorting him to ensure he didn't act out of line. Little did they know of what was going on in the midst of his twisted criminal mind with every step he took toward potential freedom. Somehow Beck knew that he was going to get back at those who put him away and that nothing would prevent him from doing so.

Soon as the guards let him off at the jail payphone, he dialed the one number he could trust: 555-0142. He waited patiently for the dial ringing to end when, suddenly and thankfully, a familiar Russian voice rang true over the speaker.

"State your service," the voice demanded.

"Hello, Dmitri," said Beck. "Surely you've heard about the defeat of Mysterio at the hands of some meddling kids and a well-known Web-head, haven't you?"

"News has circulated like a cold virus, Quentin," Dmitri replied. "So you've been hauled off to jail haven't you?"

"I'm in Rykers with the rest of, if not most of, Spider-Man's villains and other criminals," Beck stated. "Not to worry for at least now I don't have to worry about teaming with those pathetic Hex Girls on a regular basis anymore."

"Excellent!" Dmitri exclaimed proudly.

"Indeed. Now I have to ask, have you been tracking the kids to their next location?"

"Their next location is New Jersey, Beck. Once the tour is finished, I am well aware of where they'll end up and it's exactly where I'll need to be."

"Terrific! So once you've taken care of that, will you be able to help me out of this joint?"

"It'll have to wait a few months for there is to be a certain timeline that must be followed. Once I've enacted that, I'll get my share along with my special accomplice."

Beck nodded somewhat shyly, dreading the possibility of waiting that long to spend his payback. "Mm-hmm… And what's in it for me?"

"Trust me, as soon as I uncover the treasure of Coolsville, there'll be nothing left of the Mystery Gang to report any more mysteries and you'll be free as a bird to extract your revenge. Once that's in play, nothing will stop us from spreading the boss's influence across the world."

Beck stared excitedly as if into the unknown regions of space. Already he could feel the excitement of what was to come. If nothing else were to happen in the next few months or so, he at least had this to look forward to. "Consider it over and done."
