Now broken up, the gang decides to get on with their individual lives by touring the nearby Darrow University. When Char Gar Gothakon attacks the campus, the gang is forced to reunite. They investigate Prof. H.P. Hatecraft, who created the character. The attacks prompt him to admit his work is fiction, only for Char Gar Gothakon to kidnap him. The gang eventually traps the creature, revealing it to be student Howard E. Roberts, a superfan of Hatecraft’s who wanted to destroy his critics. The gang then finds a chest full of Crystal Cove’s history, and a note from Mr. E, saying the original Mystery Incorporated wouldn’t have disappeared if they’d had that chest.
