Battle of the Humungonauts is the ninth episode of the first season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

Premise

Two giant monsters named Humungonauts, attack Crystal Cove, causing the gang to spring into action--outfitted with team uniforms made by Fred, much to the disgust of the others.

Synopsis

Sheriff Stone and Mayor Jones are relaxing in the Tiki Tub restaurant, listening to Trini Lee's new song, "The Words Stuck in My Throat". As the song ends, a giant green monster shows up and wrecks the entire restaurant. Once the creature leaves, Sheriff Stone, believing it to be staged, asks for an encore.

At Shaggy's house, Scooby looks for Shaggy in the garden, only to find him kissing Velma. He demands for an explanation, so Shaggy nervously tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but Scooby only gets heartbroken and Velma annoyed.

In the Mystery Machine, the gang arrive at the restaurant wreckage. They ask Sheriff Stone about the creature that attacked the restaurant, whom he has dubbed as a Humungonaut. Suddenly, a red one demolishes another building and runs off.

At K-Ghoul, Angel sees that the gang's moping about because of Shaggy and Velma's relationship problems and they haven't got much to go on, but Fred gets idea.

At Fred's house, Sheriff Stone shows up having been told that it was a barbecue to get him over. After some bad advice, Velma and Scooby started forcing Shaggy to choose who he'd rather be with, but Fred breaks up the fight and announces that he wants to call their gang "Mystery Incorporated" in honor of those before them and hands out uniforms.

They go back to the wreckage and see that an insurance company is cleaning up the rubble and the contractor Rusty Gnales is rather pleased, thinking about making the Humungonauts his partners, giving the gang their first suspect. That night, they sneak inside his construction site and split-up to find more clues.

Shaggy and Scooby have a hard time working with each other not making eye contact with each other, when the green humungonaut attacks and goes on another rampage. Rusty witnessed the carnage and the Humungonaut drops a crane onto a tank of propane causing an explosion which they barely escape.

On the road, they become disheartened on how the investigation didn't go well.

The next day, they ask Mayor Jones to do something about the Humungonaut. He and Sheriff Stone show them a plan to catch them and get Crystal Cove Stadium, but haven't worked out all the details. Fred gets hurt on how they're building a trap without them, or specifically him, and as they leave, Mayor Jones comments on how their uniforms look ridiculous.

At the stadium, the police force use whatever they have to catch the beasts. While in the stands, Velma finds a pattern on her laptop that the beasts are only attacking certain buildings, but don't know what they have in common. When Shaggy says that it's hard like Mr. E's riddle, Velma realizes what he was talking about and leave knowing where the next attack will happen.
