The group enters a room filled with whirring, sputtering, and clanking machines. Pain proceeds to one and grabs a print-out that pops out. He hands it to her. "Here's the man. That cloak was a one of a kind made by our resident hobo Oswald."

"So Gantu was the one who kidnapped him. But he wasn't on the ship, so where was he taken to?"

"Are we supposed to answer that, or are you just talking to yourself?" Russell questions.

"It was a little of both. Well team, we'd better go find a certain rat. We'll meet you back here, you two."

"Of course. We have to go pack our hiking gear."

Remy sits on the street corner, and sighs. He looks at his sign "Will Cook for Food" and throws it in disgust and puts his head in his hands. Sarah takes a seat next to him. "Go away."

"Hey, I'm here to help." His head shoots up and he looks at Sarah and smiles.

"What are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be up in your new fancy palace helping important people with their issues?"

"You're important, so I'm here."

"Yeah, I'm a broke rat. That's like being less than dirt."

"What happened? Maybe I can help you."

"Unless you can turn back time…"

"I'm not that powerful, but please tell me how a successful chef goes bankrupt and loses his entire restaurant."

"Alright, but don't laugh. One day this guy walks in and asks for a donation for orphans. He saw me get some money and the code for the register and must have come by later and took everything. I was flat broke. He even robbed me of kitchen tools."

"Who was this man?"

"All I know is he wore this bowler hat that I swear moved."

"He must be in on the plot. I think if we find him we may able to find out what exactly is going on here." She stands up and takes off.

"Wait! What is going on?!"

"I'll explain later Remy! I have somewhere to be!" She turns a corner and crashes into Olivia.

"I'm sure you could wait a moment."

"Olivia, how very kind of you to sand in my way once again. I have somewhere to be."

"Yes. You are coming back to the Land of Defense with me." She grabs her arm, but Sarah shakes it off.

"Why would I go with you?"

"Because we need you and I'm not taking no for an answer."

"Get lost!"

"I really hate to do this Sarah, but you leave me no choice." She snaps and Sarah is caught in a net. "Kim left a few of her gadgets lying around. She and the others quit the second we got home and started their own companies. And you know why? Because of the little detective that could over here."

"So you want me back to get them back."

"That's part of it. But imagine what having the Great Sarah, The Chosen One, will do to our reputation. And we're in a bit of a decline since we're now losing all our business to YOU and Mickey isn't letting us get away with anything anymore. The leash has been tightened, but you are going to set us free."

"Let me go."

"I'm sorry. Oh wait, no I'm not." Suddenly, she is hit in the head by a sandwich. "What?!"

"Let our friend go."

"Buzz off you little critter!" She stamps her foot in anger. "I'm trying to kidnap someone here."

"Well, it's not going to work! Charge!" He and the other critters and Russell charge Olivia and start climbing and biting her. Robin cuts the net open and Olivia takes off as Gurgi spits after her.

"Good riddance!"

"Thanks guys. Let's get back to the University." They take off at a run and fail to notice Olivia run up to a certain villain. With a wave of her hands, the Evil Queen now stands before them.

"Well, you couldn't have failed harder. I think you were almost trying there."

"Those rodents might have exposed me! I need to stay out of the Land of Prison, thank you very much. I have bad experience with animals."

"I know. I understand. But you failed me. So there's only one thing to do."

"You can't!"

"I can and I will." He throws open a nearby door and shoves her through it as she screams. "Have a nice trip." He pulls out his walkey-talky. "Where are you? They're coming for you."

"I'm currently at a tea party. They'll never track me down. Doris will see to that."

"You'd better hope so."
