Jailbird and Jailbunny

May 17, 2011

Hi, guys.

So, on an excursion to the Grand Canyon, Daffy is arrested and sent to court for littering on federal property and refuses to pay the fine. He tries to place the blame on Porky and then on Bugs. While on the witness stand, Bugs becomes annoyed by Daffy and the two begin to bicker of spitting drinks at each other, prompting the judge furiously to throw both of them in jail on contempt of court charges. Once inside, Bugs becomes taken to his new environment which is in contrast to Daffy who is in a constant state of fear. In the end, after a brief escape from prison, both serve their one year-long scene. However, when Daffy litters again, the whole situation begins again.

But we don't stop there, because when Cronus calls upon three dead Cyclope relatives, Brontes, Steropes, and Arges to create a Sceptre, a weapon more powerful than Zeus's lightning bolts to amplify his own power in exchange for whatever the cyclops wanted. Feeling betrayed for being executed for their blacksmithing services by The Gods, they agree so long as Cronus will place them amongst the gods where they feel they should belong. Polyphemus is found wandering around their ancient caves. Yes, that's right, Polyphemus lives, but is blinded and has to wear the Eye of the Storm in his eye socket to help his sight. When Polyphemus discovers Cronus' plan, he sends a message to Odie and the rest of the team but it captured by Cronus soon afterward.

Honor bound and loyal to one another, the cyclops were responsible for forging Zeus' ThunderBolt and Hades' Helmet of Darkness during The Titan War. Though they fulfill their end of the bargain, Cronus turns against them and forces them to fight the heroes by trapping Arges when he attempts to defend Polyphemus. After Cronus' scepter is destroyed, all three of them vanish.

But we're not done yet, because During a riot at the Eleanor Roosevelt High School soccer game, the hideous goddess of love appears to entrance all the students into her spell. Throwing strange flowers around each person, they slowly start to fall in love with everything in town, eventually losing their minds.

The next day, the gang stand inside the hallway aware of the odd attractions between students that would have never occurred before. Once admitting that he never studied for the test, Shaggy realizes that there's a substitute teacher relieving him from the test.

Shaggy went to greet the substitute only to realize that Aphrodite is posing as one. Her ugly appearance distracts Shaggy long enough for her to blow a handful of her mysterious flowers into his face, filling him with the love that the town was filled in.

The day falls through with the Mystery Inc. being infected with the love regaining their relationships with each other.

Later we find Scooby roaming the halls in search for his owner only to find both group of students tickling him and the startling Aphrodite that attempts to bring him into the love with the rest of the town. Once realizing that Scooby is immune to her spell, she demands that the adoring people capture him. Scooby, of course, runs away from the school and into the town who's eerie love begins to grow intensely. Aphrodite abuses her power, controlling the gang to run down Scooby-Doo into the road, but he narrowly escapes into an alley where he finds Pericles, escaped from prison.

Scooby hardly believes Pericles when he claims he's willing to help save the town despite his recent imprisonment and enlists Scooby's help for the ingredients to the antidote.

Pericles guides Scooby through many locations retrieving the ingredients from churches, museums, and mines in search for pewter found commonly in stained glass windows, the ectoplasm of a spirit, and Rose Quartz. After finding each successfully, they return to the school to combine them, creating a green liquid. Thinking they're safe, they're proven wrong when Aphrodite pounds down the door with her minions under her spell that have been demanded to steal the antidote before they save the town. The two finally escape and spray the gang with the antidote, reverting them back into their normal state, angering the people in the love. Angel Dynamite, who states she has no sense of smell, drives the Mystery Machine to their rescue from the attacking town.

The gang try to settle what really happened while they were under her love spell, and what it meant to them while shuffling through the library. Though Fred and Daphne both agree that they didn't need the spell, Velma and Shaggy are both reluctant to show their true feelings. Thinking about the attire that Aphrodite had dressed in, the gang realize she's chosen a prom dress and traced it down to a girl who was laughed out of the school by a vicious joke during prom, who's name is Amanda Smythe, a science geek. The gang, with Pericles and Angel's help, then recreate the antidote into many canisters that they had disguised themselves.

Dressed as the common love struck citizens, the gang crash the prom that the citizens have created to honor the new queen of New York, Aphrodite. However, the gang uses the antidote on all the townspeople, turning them back to normal. Fred uses a trap to catch Aphrodite. She was unmasked as Amanda Smythe, (who looks beautiful now) she was furious at how she was humiliated the night she was pranked. She left Crystal Cove, but vowed to return for revenge. She found a formula that makes people lose their minds with love, and would use it to claim the crown, then destroy the town the way it destroyed her.

After Amanda is taken away, the gang thank Scooby for saving the day and even wonder if Pericles may have changed, but they are quickly proven wrong. They are approached by Ed Machine, an associate of Mr. E, who plays a recorded message that Pericles sent. On the recording, Pericles reveals that he orchestrated the Aphrodite mystery and gave Amanda the formula for her love potion so that he could secretly search for objects needed to unravel the curse of New York. While he and Scooby searched for love potion antidote ingredients, Pericles quietly collected an ancient Conquistador's ship manifest, a stone piercing industrial-grade diamond drill bit, and geological reports from the Darrow mining company. After the message ends, Shaggy asks what it has to with the mystery, prompting Ed to inform the gang that it traces back to a cursed treasure, an ancient fortune left behind by the Conquistadors that first settled in the area, that is buried deep beneath the town. He warns them that Pericles is one step further of discovering it, and if he does, it would mean the end of New York.
