Jake gives a wistful whimper as Ace gently strokes his scruffy neck. "He certainly is friendly." Deanna notes.
Mojo hears his phone ringing, but gets no response. He said, "Hmm, the signal's not strong enough here. I guess I could go somewhere else to see if I could get a good response." The gang see Mojo going towards a path down the rainforest, which made the two poachers watch and Ralph say, "Right, now's our chance!"
Grabbing a tranquilizer gun, Ralph loads it with a dart and takes off after Mojo with Marty without being seen by the gang. Roxi and Foxy sniffed the air, then they began growling. Rebecca notices and asks, "What's wrong, girls? What is it?" Roxi and Foxy kept growling, then Buttercup said, "I think they smelled bad news somewhere nearby."
Blossom said, "Okay, Rebecca, you and the gang stay here. Me and the Girls are gonna find what the puppies are growling at, then we'll go and find Mojo."
"Sure thing, Blossom." Rebecca obliges, upon which the girls and the puppies set off.
As the Powerpuffs hover slowly through the air, they presently become aware of a bounding sound behind them and glance over to see the kangaroos following them. "What is it, guys?" Blossom inquires. Bubbles hovers over and quickly translates the kangaroos' language. "They say they're worried about Mojo and want to help." Blossom smiles, "Well, they're certainly quite welcome. The more, the merrier." The kangaroos happily chatter in reply.
Upon rounding a corner, the group finds Mojo, still attempting to find a cell phone signal. At this moment, Buttercup's gaze falls on the tranquilizer gun sticking out of the brush. Gasping audibly, she exclaims, "MOJO, LOOK OUT!"
"Huh?" Mojo quickly turns to see the tranquilizer dart shooting toward him; lightning fast, he ducks and covers as the dart harmlessly tacks itself to a tree on the other side of the path. "Pfew, that was a close one." the monkey breathes as the group traipses up to him.
"Are you okay, Mojo?" inquires a concerned Blossom.
"Quite indeed," Mojo replies gratefully. And I thank you very much for saving and rescuing me."
"You're quite welcome." Buttercup replies.
From their hiding place in the bushes, Marty snarls, "Drat! We missed him!" As his gaze falls on Nugget, a wicked grin spreads across Ralph's face. "Well, we needn't go empty handed. I gots me a plan what'll make Mojo ours fer sure!"
While the group is distracted, Ralph slowly sneaks from his hiding place, sight unseen and quickly snatches up Nugget. The little kangaroo squeals fearfully. "NUGGET!" Mojo and the girls cry. "Heh heh," Ralph snickers nastily as he claps one hand over the little joey's mouth. "Now either Mojo comes with us without a fight or you'll never see th' li'l roo again!"
Matilda cries and reaches her paws out to her son as the poachers hustle him away. "Oh no!" Bubbles despairs. "How can we save him?!" The mama kangaroo buries her face in her paws and weeps. An angry scowl crosses Mojo's face. "Those poachers, what are they up to?"
At this moment the others come rushing up to them. "Guys, guys, are you okay?" a concerned Rebecca calls. Mojo held Rebecca's hands and said, "I'm alright, but Nugget's been kidnapped by two poachers. They're holding him for a ransom and threatened to kill him if I don't come to them. I don't know why they want me."
Rebecca's hands slowly slipped away from Mojo's as she turned away and softly said, "They want you for bait and to make you a trophy." Mojo sees Rebecca's body shaking as she silently cries, then he comes towards her and holds her in his arms. He whispers, "I won't let them hurt you or the animals. Those monsters will learn not to mess with Mojo Jojo, for it will be the last thing they'll ever see or do."
Feeling lighthearted, Rebecca smiles and plants a small kiss on Mojo's cheek. "We'll be in this together," she says as she gently takes his hand. "They'll be no match for all of us." A determined smile then crosses Mojo's face.
Bubbles then places a consoling hand(Or should we say lack thereof) on the sorrowing Matilda's shoulder. "There, there. Please don't cry. We'll find your baby."
"Duh, yeah," Billy adds as Bubbles gently brushes the mama kangaroo's tears away. "We'll catch da baddies 'n bring Nugget home safely in no time." Feeling much better, Matilda happily chatters in reply.
"Boy howdy," Ace states as he angrily pounds his fists together. "Those jerks 're so gonna get it when I get my hands on 'em!" The wombats chatter in agreement.
"I wonder how we will find them," a concerned Arturo muses, scratching his spiky black hair. "They haven't left a trail." Upon this, the puppies turn to Jake and give a series of small yips, upon which he nods and barks in reply, then begins sniffing at the ground.
"Great idea, little ones!" Bubbles exclaims happily.
"Phthbbht." Grubber razzes.
"Duh, yeah, what he said!" Billy replies.
