Scooby cowers in fear, he'd never been shot before and wasn't too keen on trying out the idea. The Great Dane backtracks into the phone booth.

"Ah look at that, the little pooch is scared!" Laughs Carl as he corners the now trapped dog "After I'm done with you, I'll bring Shaggy out here, tell him this is his entire fault for trying to get away!"

Scooby's fear quickly disappeared at hearing those words; he wouldn't allow them to tell Shaggy that! "Ron't you dare rell that to Raggy!"

Carl backs into Tony as the canine bares his teeth; he'd crossed a line "Come any closer and I'll shoot!"

Scooby ignored the threat, claws digging into the asphalt, eyes clouding with rage as his vision grew red "You ron't tell Raggy it's his rault."

Tony clutches Carl's arm as the pair continue backing away "Tell the mutt you're sorry!"

Carl glares, he'd taken so much heat from his partner and he'd gotten sick of it "I'm not apologizing to a dog!"

Scooby growls and without hesitation launches on top of the two men, biting into whatever tender flesh his teeth could find, drawing pools of blood. "You ruys won't rurt Raggy ever ragain!"

Tony and Carl screamed as the ferocious Dane continued any pleas or apologies they gave were ignored and seemed to anger Scooby even more.

As the abuse continued, no one noticed a squad of police cars followed by the mystery machine crowding the area. Police and the gang stared in shock and fear as Scooby Doo mauled two men to death.

"Scooby! Hey Scoob, stop!" Yells Freddy, the blonde leader unsure on what else he could possibly do to ease the rabid dog "Find Shaggy, he's the only one Scooby will listen to."

Officers nodded as they trekked their way towards the boat. Daphne and Velma held Fred on each arm, both girls afraid to approach their missing friends best pal.

"Are you sure Scooby won't attack Shaggy, Fred?" Questions Daphne

"Come on Daph, it's Scooby! He'd never hurt Shag." Answers Fred

Velma pushes her glasses to the bridge of her nose, digging a familiar box out from her dress pocket "Scooby, if you stop I'll give you a Scooby snack."

Scooby pays the trio no mind and continues his ripping apart of a now dead Carl and Tony, each barely had their wrists still attached.

Velma takes a deep breath and pulls out two treats "Would you stop for two Scooby snacks?"

At the mention of two, Scooby does cease, could he allow himself to be swayed out of vengeance for a small treat?

"How about three Scooby snacks!" Yells Fred, followed by Daphne grabbing the box "We'll give you this entire box of Scooby snacks."

Scooby turns to face his team, blood dripping from his mouth "What rabout Raggy?"

"The police are looking for Shaggy now, the moment they find him he'll be brought to you." Answers Fred

Scooby whimpers and rushes towards his friends, noting the fear, but choosing to ignore it "They reatened to rurt Raggy!"

Velma shakily pats the dog "Shaggy is just fine, no one can hurt him."

"Ri had to do rit!" Cries Scooby, now afraid of how his friend will react to what he'd done.

"It's ok Scooby, we know you would never do anything like this if you hadn't believed it was the only way." Exclaims Velma, her eyes catching sight of the gun

Freddy and Daphne tentatively lowers to Scooby's level, embracing the scared canine.

"We've found him!" Echoes an officers voice "He's alive."

Everyone's heads jerk up at the sudden proclamation. Shaggy is alive and he'd finally been found and rescued.

"Raggy!" Bellows Scooby as his owners scent grew stronger, the canine taking off towards the open hatch as the familiar lanky form appears.

"Scooby Doo!" Cries Shaggy as his buddy tackles him to the floor, licking at his face and neck, unintentionally coating the teen in blood.

Shaggy cries tears of joy, his arms wrap tightly around Scooby's neck in relief "I'm so glad you're alright! They like, threatened to kill you, Scoob."

Scooby whimpers, he'd have to explain to Shaggy exactly what had happened ... He just hoped his friend wouldn't hate him "Raggy, I Rilled them."

Shaggy's joyous cries cease, had he just heard that right? "Like, run that by me again, pal?"

Scooby lowers his eyes; he couldn't bear to face Shaggy "Ri Rilled the ridnappers."

Shaggy now notices the deep red substance dripping from Scooby's mouth, the sticky feeling all over his hands and face. "You ... You killed them Scoob?"

Scooby nods "Rhey were ronna shoot me and rell you it ras your rault!"

Shaggy suddenly bolts from the ground, rushing towards the pier and spewing what all he'd eaten before the abduction into the water.

The gang decide now is the best time to comfort their friend as the boy continues his sickness "You alright Shag?"

Shaggy wipes the left over bits from his mouth "Fine, Fred. Thanks for saving me."

"Shaggy, Scooby's the one that saved you, if he hadn't kept those two here you'd be long gone by now." States Daphne

"That's one pretty impressive dog you've got there Shaggy." Says Velma

"I know he is Vel, and I love my buddy to death. I just never thought he'd ever hurt anyone."

"Shaggy he did it for you; those two were bad people who never should have kidnaped you to begin with." Answers Daphne

Freddy turns Shaggy's head to face an utterly terrified and ashamed Scooby "He thinks you hate him."

"I'd never hate my best pal!" Yells Shaggy as Scooby catches his human watching him "Scooby Doo!"

Scooby's head flys upwards, his brown gaze locked on Shaggy's figure as the teen lowers into a crouch "Raggy ..."

Shaggy smiles and sails his noodle arms through the air "I don't hate you pal, I love ya buddy."

For the second time that day, Scooby launched forward and threw a body down to the ground, only this time instead of bites, there were licks, instead of screams there was laughs and instead of fear ... There was love.

"Ri rove you Raggy!"

Shaggy smiles "I love you too Scooby Doo! Let's get outta here and like get something to eat."

I know this is far too dark to ever be a Scooby Doo episode, but I had to write this! Hope you all enjoyed the adventure :)
