To make it even more blatant, at one point Makwa (Jeb's dog) even says "Ruh-roh, Jebby!", and Jeb suddenly seems to have been possessed by Shaggy's spirit[[note]]something he remarks on as being odd at the end of the issue[[/note]] as he [[BigEater becomes obsessed with food for the rest of the issue]]. From then on it's basically a shout-out bonanza, complete with "We should split up to cover more ground", "Looks like we've got ourselves a mystery", and the "lake monster" [[spoiler:actually being a submarine piloted by Norville and Velma, Fred]] who were attempting to get revenge on the popular kids who flaunted their wealth while Velma was stuck cleaning up after them. Norville is killed in the takedown, and [[WesternAnimation/Velma Norville]].while Velma (of all people) says she would have gotten away with it too "if it weren't for you meddling kids!", she shortly thereafter meets her end when she's crushed by some falling debris.]] It's hinted that the whole thing was actually a peyote dream of Jeb's, but the last few pages show [[spoiler:Jeb and Robyn joining up with the main universe versions of Mystery Inc, with Makwa howling "Scooby Dooby Dooooooo!" in the last panel.]]

The series begins as Shang, one of the guardians of Myst, storms a temple of cultists. After he is attacked and killed by a couple, he discovers a baby on an altar. He takes the child and confers with the Council of the Five Realms, who unanimously agree that the baby must be killed, lest she turn out the same as the Jabberwocky. Shang cannot bring himself to do this, believing that the child has the potential to live a better life and takes her to Earth where she is left on the doorstep of a family that will come to raise her. That family names her Robyn Locksley.

As Shang single-handedly storms a temple in Myst, he discovers a small child within. He confers with the Council of the Five Realms as opposed to her fate, but every member agrees that she must be killed (referring to the Jabberwocky, another such child that was saved). Shang cannot bring himself to do this, believing that the child has the potential to live a better life and takes her to Earth where she is left on the doorstep of a family that will come to raise her. That family names her Robyn Locksley.
