It just so happens by luck that John "Dimitri" Reznov would be able to learn of what happened in le Pays maudit. Once a month, he would view satellite images over the region to see how things are going. Ever since Chernov stopped calling him, he hasn't been checking up on him much.
He expect massive destruction that the humans in the region would bring in an effort to bring down Chernov one day, so it wasn't a surprise when he saw massive scars of burned land sweeping about 60% of the region. Neighboring Pussywillow Hallow wasn't doing so well either as it was also on fire.
Sitting at the controls of his laptop computer, he zooms in the satellite over the Smurf Village and found it totally destroyed. So he went to check up on the green smurfs' villages, which is about 15 kilometres from the Smurf Village. It's already spring and plants are beginning to sprout leaves, so it was difficult to find the villages since they live deep within the forest and not out in the open.
Using a map he had made, he managed to home in on the coordinates of the villages. Each of the green smurf villages are 2 kilometres apart, so they are clustered together like animals in a holding pen. In order to confirm he's over the villages, he taps into the FM radio bands within the area and listens to the frequencies. It didn't take him long to figure out what was going on in le Pays maudit.
The radio broadcast tells about the resistance groups against the NSA as they take over the human kingdoms in the area, he then spot the recently built bases within the region that belong to the NSA, including the Battle Fortress in the center. He couldn't figure out what has become of Chernov, so he decides to go to war-torn le Pays maudit to figure out where he is.
He packed up his laptop and several equipment before getting on a plane to le Pays maudit. Once over the region, he parachuted into the region along with the essentials he brought along with him. His landing zone happened to be no other than the area where the Smurf Village once been. Once he touched down he packed his parachute back into its pack then gazed over the destruction of the area, "Where are you Chernov?" he asked himself as he soon spots Chernov's home.
Knowing Chernov booby trapped it, Dimitri didn't go near it. So he picked up his case of supplies and heads off to his lab, the same lab where he created Chernov. There were a lot of destruction all over the place, so much death. Moving through the burned out forest was easy, and he made his way to his lab about 9 kilometres away. It was a long walk, but he made it there.
Once he arrived, he noticed human activity all over the place. When he approached the lab's entrance, he noticed it was cracked open. When he walked inside, he turned the lights on and noticed that the main room of the lab was trashed by an explosion. The cause of the explosion is obvious due to the pieces of metal shrapnel all over the place, so Dimitri puts down his case and went to work on cleaning the lab.
After an hour of cleaning, he shuts the door and gets to work on figuring out what's going on. He opened his case of supplies and took out a HAM radio and sat it up at the desk near the PC computer. With everything set up, he turns on the computer and discovers someone was on it weeks ago. It soon became clear that someone made themselves at home here, the bed in the bedroom was all ruffled but it looks like they hadn't stayed very long.
So he opened up his laptop and checked the satellite footage again, observing every detail of the forest for any sign of the smurfs. Then he sees it, 20 smurfs heading North East of the village amidst the charred forest. They are not that far from his lab, just a half a kilometre. So Dimitri shuts his laptop and heads out the metal door to intercept the smurfs.
The 20 smurfs were hungry, thirsty, and dirty. They had been on the run for the past four weeks and had not much to eat or drink, they were on the verge of death and were in no shape to run away from danger. So when Dimitri approached them, their faces shows recognition. "Dimitri?" asked Greedy as he approached, "Dimitri, is that you?"
"I'm here to help you blue buddy," said Dimitri, "Come, I have a place for all of you to stay in."
The smurfs soon followed Dimitri back to his lab where they rushed inside where he fed the smurfs the food he brought along, they never felt so relieved. "Do you know where the other smurfs is?" asked a smurf.
"No," said Dimitri, "I just got here a few hours ago, I have no clue where the other smurfs are and nor where Chernov is. But I do know he's around here somewhere, it seems your friends were once here due to all the little fingerprints I keep finding."
"So you don't know where Chernov is?" asked Lazy.
"I don't know where everyone is," said Dimitri, "But I do know this, it makes sense for him to bring them here since this is the place where you first met us. Whoever was hunting you guys drove him out, I suppose he's heading east like the rest of the smurfs. I think he's trying to find the Green Smurf Villages I set up for my green smurfs, so that's where all of you smurfs are gonna go."
Dimitri opened a cabinet door, revealing a large lever. "Stand right in the center of the room," instructed Dimitri.
All the smurfs agreed and do what they're told. Once all the smurfs were at the center of the room, Chernov grabs the lever and said, "Say hi to Chernov for me."
He pulls down the lever and electricity engulfs the smurfs, then they disappeared within a split second. Dimitri pulls the lever back up and sat down in his chair, he stared at the area where the smurfs once been and sighed, "What have I done?" he asked himself.
He soon pulls out his cell phone and dialed in a number before putting his ear to the phone, "Comrade," he says into it, "You remember those favors you owe me? I'm going to need a few things, here's the plan."
Meanwhile at the main green smurf village, Chernov was just leaving the command center when lightning came out of nowhere and struck the ground with the sound of a cannon going off. All the smurfs rushed to the area and discovers the 20 missing smurfs scattered all over the area where the lighting had struck, Papa Smurf waste no time assessing the situation.
"Papa Smurf!" cried Greedy as he rushed to him along with other smurfs, giving him a big hug, "I missed you."
"I missed you too Greedy," said Papa Smurf.
Smurfette rushed up to Lazy and gave him a kissed of the cheek, "We thought you were goners." she said.
Chernov approached Greedy with curiosity, "How did you get here?" he asked.
"Your dad found us and brought us here by some teleporter," said Greedy, "Similar to the teleporter you were building in the village, he want's to let you know that he says hi."
Chernov stared at him for the moment, then he looks away, "So he knows whats going on here after all," he says, "I wonder what he's going to send me next."
Suddenly a plane flew above the village and air dropped a couple of crates into the village, it parachuted safely to the ground as it lands in the middle of the smurf crowd. All the smurfs wondered whats inside it, so Chernov pulled out his crowbar and muscled the crate open. The wooden crate disintegrated, revealing a smurfmobile. This smurfmobile had aluminum armor and resembles somewhat of a primitive truck, it's main feature was it's "flamethrower" in the back. "Well," said Chernov, "This will make things easier to get around from village to village, isn't that right Handy."
Handy was to stunned as he was witnessing the return of the "smurfmobile," and was thus speechless.
