Pain- that was what Nova felt first; colossal, unyielding pain. What had happened to her? The last memory that she clutched to was holding on to Scooby as she dangled from a helicopter that threatened to crash at any second, then falling when her grip have way... Everything afterwards was a blur.
"You have died, Nova" said a voice from... somewhere. "Your body was trampled to death by those disturbing mutant cows unleashed by the original Mystery, Inc."
"That definitely explains the pain" thought Nova. A few thousand cow hooves (normal or mutant) hardly did the body any good. Straining to open her eyes, she finally realized she was... nowhere.

"Well, that's good to know... I guess. So, when does the procedure start?" asked Nova.
"Right now".
Before Nova could even respond, a small yellow sphere enveloped her. She was temporarily blinded, while an invisible force pulled her. After a few seconds, she found that not all of her was still the same- her front paws were less like actual paws and were more like hands, just like Scooby's. She also found herself...
