So the group split up two different ways with Robyn taking a waitress disguise with a serving tray and holding two fizzy mugs as the mice hid on the tray behind the mugs along with a plate of a burger and fries. The two Toms they stayed close beside Robyn for protection, along with Patch who hid behind her before they looked over to see Miss Red, Cherry, and Mo on stage.
"I can't sing..." Cherry said as they came on the stage.
"You don't really have a choice." Mo whispered to her.
Meanwhile, the cats were shown to be sitting together at one table.
"Hey, I wanna go. I think we should go." Tin spoke up to the other two cats.
"Yeah, it's time to go, isn't it?" Pan agreed.
"Don't worry. We've got loads of time," Alley replied with a smirk at them. "Especially with the boss's helper not around. He really needs to take a chill pill and get a new hairstyle. He looks silly with that black and white hair of his."
"Ooh, boy. You better hope the boss's helper doesn't find out you said that." Tin said to Alley.
"Yeah or else he'll hurt you in more ways than one." Pan said.
"Well, then it's a good thing he ain't here right now." Alley smirked.
"Not yet anyway," Tin said with shifty eyes. "He's always watching us."
Soon, the curtains on the stage opened up to show Miss Red in center stage with Cherry and Mo on both her sides.
"There's a yearning in the heart, Of this young lady, Alone, so very far away from home~" Miss Red soon began to sing, basing her singing on her song back when the others first met her, but she knew how to get everyone else's attention while the crowd would be entertained, especially Tin, Pan, and Alley. "Across the crowded pub, Right in the corner, You'll find the stupid louts, You're looking for There's a burning in the heart Of this young bosom For a big old rock That's hidden in his hat Yes, the middle one, you see Holds the diamond treasury, But not for long, you dumb old cats~" she said as she hugged and cradled the three Siamese cats before walking off as they were entranced by her beauty.
"Clever." Cherry commented.
"Hey, waiter!" A man in the crowd glared at the other Tom who served the three cats their burger and fries. "Where's my drink?"
The other Tom seemed to ignore that request only for the man to punch him right in the face.
"Hey!" Tom glared as he stormed over. "You didn't have to do that!"
'"We'd better get going." Jerry told the other Jerry and the gray mouse.
They both nodded before getting down from the tray and where while the two Jerrys had sprung from the hamburger, but the gray mouse got trapped in it as the bun closed in on him.
"Uh-oh." Jerry said.
"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" The man asked Tom.
"You're gonna answer to me." Tom glared.
"Tom, we gotta get going, and that means now!" Jerry whispered loudly to his cat companion.
"In a second, Jerry," Tom told him before glaring at the human man. "I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain!"
"Ha! I'd like to see you try." The man smirked before getting hit with an uppercut by Tom.
"Ouch. That's gotta hurt." Atticus winces.
"Stay out of my way or it'll get worse!" Tom firmly nodded.
"Don't ever change, Tom." Jerry sighed and rolled his eyes slightly.
"You just tell your cousin Muscles to watch his back on his next visit." Tom then told the brown mouse.
"Okay. I'll do that," Jerry said before flailing his arms. "But for right now, we should help out our Sherlock ancestors and Tuffy!"
"You think that gray mouse is your nephew's ancestor?" Tom asked.
"Why not?" Jerry shrugged nonchalantly. "I mean, we run into different versions of him like we do ourselves around here like at Robyn's cousin's place, that Nutcracker adventure, and even that time in Oz."
"Yeah, I mean, what's next?" Tom shrugged. "He's an Oompa Loompa down at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory?"
"Don't start." Cherry told the cat and mouse before taking them to where they had to go.
The gray mouse soon accidentally landed in Tin's burger and he soon got ready to eat it as Miss Red continued to sing and this did not go unnoticed by the other Jerry.
"Not good!" Jerry panicked.
Robyn saw what was about to happen to the gray mouse and got an idea on how to save and where Miss Red had the same idea as she hit Tin on the head with her umbrella.
"Bumbershoot, bumbershoot, Strolling along with my bumbershoot~" Miss Red continued to sing as Robyn dashed over towards Tin as he dropped his sandwich after getting hit in the head with the umbrella, but still had a lovestruck look on his face. "Rain or shine, it's divine, It simply can't be beat, Bumbershoot, Bumbershoot, Nothing compares to my bumbershoot~"
Robyn soon scooped her hands into Tin's sandwich and removed the gray mouse before he and the two Jerrys soon ran together and made it underneath the cat's hat where the missing jewel was.
"Silk and lace, class and grace, My bumbershoot's a treat, Bumbershoot, bumbershoot~" Miss Red continued to sing while everyone else tried to keep it together during the song and dance so no one would suspect anything. "Wonderful, fun-derful Bumbershoot, In the park, on a lark, My gamp is tried and true, Bumbershoot, Bumbershoot, Who needs a man with a Bumbershoot?, Good for walks, never talks, And goes in a stand when I'm through~" she then concluded.
The audience then gave thunderous claps and cheers after the song ended as Miss Red smiled sexily at them.
"That was too close," Jerry sighed in relief as he stood under the hat with his ancestor and the young gray mouse. "Have you got the jewel, Brother, uh... Tuffy?"
"Right here," Brother Tuffy nodded as he showed the jewel. "Say... How did you know my name?" he then suddenly asked.
"Uh... Lucky guess... Now let's go!" Jerry replied as his ancestor nodded in agreement.
Once they got the jewel, the three mice soon got down from the hat and missed Tin's hand as he felt someone on the back of his head. And just when they thought they were in the clear, Jerry, his ancestor, and Brother Tuffy fell off what seemed to be a unique backpack as Brother Tuffy lost his with the jewel, causing the two Jerry's to grab hold of him and where they ended up a ring attached to a string as it pulled down, causing to fake wings to come out, knocking out both cats next to Tin before all three mice fell down as the string was pulled down all the way causing, the backpack to be shown the very first jet pack as a rocket came out and shot up with Tin still wearing it.
"Looks like these meddling cats are into The Steampunk Era." Cherry noted to herself after seeing the rocket pack that Tin suddenly had, knowing that Pan and Alley had to have too.
Tin then slammed up into the ceiling and hit his head instantly.
"What's Steampunk?" Robyn asked Cherry.
"I'll tell you later," Cherry replied."Right now, we should go while we can with that diamond."
"All right then." Robyn nodded, agreeing that that might be best.
The two Toms soon saw the mice and went to help them onto the silver tray to get away with them, cueing Cherry and Mo to go after them and Cherry nodded at Robyn as she had to come along too. Pan and Alley soon grabbed Tin's legs, pulled him back down into his seat, and turned his rocket pack off as the others escaped. And where Tin noticed the diamond wasn't in his hat anymore.
"Oh, no!" Tin gasped.
"Oh, boy. We're in trouble if the boss's helper finds out it's gone." Pan said.
The group was shown to be escaping right past the three Siamese cats.
"Oy, there he goes!" Alley told the others as he pointed out. "Catch him!"
The group continued to escape, only for the other Tom to get punched right in the face by Alley and then rammed into Tin and Pan as the silvery tray went flying with the mice on it and they splatted right into the wall. The three cats then lifted up the tray to find the diamond until it appeared to be floating, but Brother Tuffy was lifting it up and trying to escape with it, but dropped it since it was heavy before picking it up and throwing it over to the two older mice.
"We got it! We got it!" Jerry said before catching it with his ancestor. "Good... We got it."
The other Jerry nodded with a relieved smile, but that wouldn't last too long. The silver tray fell to the floor as the diamond was shown to be on the floor too.
"I'll take that," Pan said as he swiped the diamond with the two mice on it and ran away with Tin and Alley. "Come on, let's go!"
"Boys, the cats took the Jerrys." Miss Red frowned as she helped up the other Tom who was still in a daze.
"No one messes with my mouse 'cept me!" Tom glared protectively.
"Glad to see you two are becoming better friends with each other." Patch commented as Tom and Jerry had come a long way since they were adopted by Robyn and her father.
The other Tom soon got up before dusting himself off before both Toms took off running after the three Siamese cats as Patch went along.
"Oh, I hope they catch up to them." Robyn said.
"Well, even if they don't we'll probably find something they left behind." Cherry replied.
"In mysteries like this most likely." Mo nodded.
The Siamese cat trio was soon on the rooftop and after they were all inside, Pan slammed the door shut as they continued to run away with the diamond at hand, or rather, paw. Tom barged in through the door as his ancestor ran in after him and soon grabbed onto Pan's tail as they were all in the middle of a chase scene right now. Pan yelped as that hurt him as the other Tom yanked on his tail, but he kept running while holding onto the diamond with the two Jerrys. Tin and Alley jumped over a pile of wood that was on the roof and Pan did the same, but made the other Tom whack right into the wood as he couldn't jump in time before they kept running as he was dragged and now sliding across the rooftop. Soon, the cats kept running and soon slid down the rooftops as the other Tom was dragged behind.
"Stop! I mean it!" Tom called out as he chased after them on foot.
Pan soon plucked the mice off of the diamond and tossed them as the other Jerry ended up on the other Tom's head and Jerry ended up in his Tom's paws.
"Jerry." Tom said once he caught his friend.
"Thanks." Jerry said since he was caught safely.
Soon, the other Tom and Jerry slid right off of the roof as the Siamese cat trio jumped for it before wings sprouted from their rocket packs and they flew in the air as the other Tom and Jerry soon landed in the hay wagon down below. The other Jerry landed safely, using his detective fedora as a parachute, but the other Tom had a pitchfork stuck on his butt again, making him whimper in pain.
"They got away..." Tom and Jerry sighed about Tin, Pan, and Alley, feeling quite unlucky.
"Oh, dang it," Patch said as he got down and joined them before seeing the other Tom's pain. "Ouch. A second time."
"Here, I'll get that for ya, buddy." Tom said as he pulled the pitchfork off his ancestor's butt.
The other Tom winced before smiling at Tom as he gave his thanks with a thumb's up.
"No prob." Tom smiled.
"Poor Thomas. Are you okay?" Miss Red cooed to the poor cat.
The other Tom nodded and sighed in relief once he was out of pain.
"...Well, now I've seen everything," Brother Tuffy commented as he looked up into the sky to see Tin, Pan, and Alley flying off with their rocket packs. "Oh, there's something familiar about those flying felines."
"You mean besides how they seem to always be around whenever Tom and Jerry are around?" Cherry commented cynically.
The others then suddenly heard a whistling sound as the other Jerry found a familiar shovel labeled as "CEMETERY PROPERTY".
"'Cemetery Property'." Brother Tuffy read aloud as he adjusted his glasses.
"Is there a link between this and those cats?" Cherry asked the gray mouse.
"Indeed, lassie," Brother Tuffy nodded before smirking as he suddenly had an idea. "Those three cats are the local gravediggers."
"Sickos." Cherry rolled her eyes once she heard the term "gravedigger".
"So then, guess we know where we're headed to next." Patch said.
"To the cemetery!" Brother Tuffy exclaimed with a smile.
Meanwhile with Sherlock Holmes, Atticus, and Watson...
The three had ended up in a shop and came to question the clerk to show them the button they had found as a calling card.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes," The clerk remarked as he examined the button up close. "I remember selling this button. To a cat."
"A cat?" Atticus blinked.
"Yes, a cat," The clerk nodded. "He bought it the day before yesterday. An odd fellow."
"Do you know his name?" Atticus then asked.
"Oh, no. You know cats, quiet types, but I can ask him in a day or two when he picks up his trousers." The clerk explained before he took out a pair of pants that would fit a cat.
"Oh, my word." Sherlock whispered before he took the pants and examined them closely with his magnifying glass to look for anything interesting.
"What are you looking for, Holmes?" Watson asked.
"Almost anything, my dear Watson." Sherlock replied before he took out what looked like a feather.
"...Is that a goose feather?" Atticus asked.
"A freshly plucked one at that," Sherlock nodded as he examined the feather closely. "We find the fowl this feather came from and our thief's goose is as good as cooked. Hmm... There seems to be something else."
"And what would that be?" Watson wondered.
"This hair strand," Sherlock replied before he plucked the hair from the pants as it seemed to be bicolored. "Strange... It seems to be a hair that's both black and white."
"Wait... Black and white hair?" Atticus asked, slowly starting to panic. "No, it can't be. How could he be here?" he then had to wonder.
"A person you know?" Watson asked him.
"Yeah, an arch-enemy of mine. His name is Jackson de Vil," Atticus said. "But I'm not sure how he got here."
"Jackson de Vil?" Watson replied. "I don't believe I've heard of that name."
"Neither have I." Sherlock added.
"Trust me, you guys, you do not wanna know," Atticus said before narrowing his eyes. "Whatever he's up to, I'm not letting him stop me no matter what's going on. I just hope he doesn't get to the others, especially Cherry or Patch."
Meanwhile, the others got the cemetery gate open as Tom's ancestor looked quite nervous on the way inside, trying to be careful and quiet in case they would run into three certain cats around here.
"Careful now, those flying cats could be anywhere." Brother Tuffy whispered and warned the others.
"Maybe we'll run into Arthur Conan Doyle's grave around here." Cherry muttered to herself.
And where just like that they soon ran into a tombstone the other Jerry soon lit a match to show the tombstone that was belonged to someone named "DOYLE" which they could only guess.
"I was just kidding." Cherry whispered.
The other Jerry soon gave the match to the other Tom and where as the flame began to go down, it soon reached the other Tom's finger and thumb, causing him pain.
"Quite a klutzy kitty, aren't we?" Cherry grinned darkly.
The other Tom pouted at her as he felt the stinging pain of flames as he tried to wag his paw before he backed up and accidentally fell right into an open grave. The others surrounded the grave until the other Jerry brought out a shovel and threw it down into the grave, accidentally clanging the other Tom in even more pain to help him out of there. Brother Tuffy came to help out the other Jerry and they both pushed down on the shovel which sent the other Tom flying in the air and even crashing into a statue and broke the statue's old head off, replacing his own with the statue head.
"Okay, I'm no expert detective like Atticus, but I think the diamond we're looking for should be around here somewhere." Cherry said to the others.
"Hmm... Well, thinking like a bad guy I would hide something like a diamond someplace high up so then the big boss could find it." Robyn said.
"You mean like a statue?" Patch asked.
"Yeah, a statue." Mo nodded.
Cherry looked around before pointing out one angel statue. "You mean like that?" she then asked.
The others looked around and flinched as the full moon's light shined down on the diamond, nearly blinding them like the morning sun.
"Awesome. We found it." Cherry smirked.
"My goodness. It's the Star of Punjab!" Miss Red gasped once she found the missing diamond.
The other Jerry looked excited to go up and get the missing diamond before the other Tom stamped down on his tail to keep him from going anywhere and soon picked up the mouse to put him in a vase filled with flowers and ran off... Only to step on a fallen-over grave and got whacked in the face with it as he stepped down on it. Patch rolled his eyes a bit before looking over as the original Tom and Jerry helped each other to get the diamond, working together as Tom held Jerry up to the angel statue before the mouse crawled up to get the diamond. However, just as Jerry was about to take it, they all suddenly heard the neighing of a horse.
"The Headless Horseman!" Robyn panicked.
"Different story, kid," Cherry told her. "That must be the human equivalent to Professor Ratigan."
"Most likely." Patch said.
The man on the horse soon took off towards where the diamond was.
"Uh-oh. I better hurry." Jerry said.
The man on his horse kept inching closer and closer as did Jerry with taking the diamond for safekeeping.
Unfortunately, the man proved to be successful as he cackled while snatching the diamond.
"Oh, no!" The group gasped and panicked as that looked very bad.
"You big bully!" Jerry glared before he jumped off of the statue, diving in, and tried to stop the man as he took off on his horse before he grabbed the man's scarf and was taken for a ride after him.
"Jerry!" Robyn cried out for her pet mouse.
Jerry soon fell right off of the scarf as everyone else looked shocked and covered their eyes in horror before the mouse then ended up landing in the horse's tail and popped his head out and coughed as he bounced along on the horse's back. He then grabbed onto the key that the horseman had before they were starting to charge towards the cemetery's gate. The horse then jumped onto a couple of crates before leaping out of the cemetery's gate and galloped away with the diamond as Jerry fell in the middle of the street with the key and fell against the sidewalk, looking like he had knocked himself out a bit.
"He's safe." Miss Red smiled in relief.
"Thank goodness." Robyn added in the same way.
"More than safe, lass," Brother Tuffy informed as he saw Jerry had the key with him before he ran back over to the others. "He's got ahold of something."
"Well, it might not be what we need, but at least it's something." Tom remarked.
"It's a key." Patch smiled.
"But a key to what?" Mo asked.
The group began to start pondering of what the key would be for.
"Maybe the key to our suspect's house." Cherry said.
"Yeah. That must be it." Jerry nodded.
They soon heard the police coming, causing them to panic as they started running before hiding in an alley way and luckily, the police passed the alleyway.
"Whew." Robyn sighed.
"Let's canvass this area, men!" One officer told the other two as they ran down the streets without seeing the hiding group in the alleyway. "They can be anywhere. Those criminals are a wily sort. The reputation of Scotland Yard is at stake."
"Okay, we can't keep hiding," Patch said to the others. "We need a plan."
"That's a good point, but I don't see how we'll get Miss Red to Mr. Holmes' flat with these bobbies bobbing about." Brother Tuffy frowned in concern.
"Surely there's someone who can help us somehow." Robyn said hopefully.
Miss Red stopped to think before smiling as she suddenly had an idea. "Wait. My dear family friend, the one who sent me to Mr. Holmes lives right in this neighborhood," she then told them. "I'm sure I'd be safe there."
"That could work." Cherry replied.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Brother Tuffy agreed.
The group soon went to get going, though the other Tom seemed to forget to follow them until he saw them leaving and soon went after them.
"Oh, I hope that Atticus is okay," Mo sighed. "I'm very worried about him."
"Aw, he's fine," Cherry told Mo. "Atticus is always fine."
"Besides, he's with Sherlock Holmes and Watson." Patch smiled.
After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a Victorian house.
"This must be the place." Robyn said.
"Looks almost like Hilda and Zelda's place." Cherry commented.
"I can kinda see that." Mo agreed with a nod.
The other Tom waved off Miss Red, making her go on ahead of them as they stayed behind at the front gates as the woman soon walked up the steps to go and see her family friend she had told the others about. However, she opened the gate right on him making him stunned before shaking his head as the others then followed behind Miss Red.
Miss Red soon knocked on the door and the door soon opened up to show a gentleman at the door. "Hello, Professor." she then greeted.
"Why, Red, my dear." The man said, surprised to see her.
"I'm in a bit of trouble," Miss Red replied before looking over as she heard the police coming a bit closer. "May I come in?" she then asked.
"Of course, my child." The man nodded, allowing her to come inside.
"Something about this man doesn't seem right." Patch whispered to the others.
"I'm sure he's a good person if he's Miss Red's friend." Tom whispered back.
But just as Miss Red came in, the man closed the door before the others could get in.
"What the-?" Jerry asked out of confusion.
"Hey! Let us in!" Tom complained as he pounded on the doors with his front paws as his ancestor was flung down the stairs and out the front gate, landing on his face in the middle of the sidewalk.
The others soon went to catch up with the other Tom as Robyn helped him back up on his feet.
However, to make matters worse, across the street were Droopy, Butch, and Thor, on patrol.
"Hide!" Jerry warned the others.
And so, the others took off running and they found a place to hide which appeared to be a horse's stable. The other Tom leaned against the wall only for a horseshoe to fall and land on his head, he then walked off and stepped onto a rake that whacked him on the face with the handle, then he got his foot caught in a bucket and backed into yet another pitchfork. He yelled out in pain which made the other Jerry close his mouth since they were supposed to be hiding and being quiet. Droopy, Butch, and Thor walked by the stable as the others tried to stay hidden and quiet as the black horse snorted and neighed a bit.
"No, no, we're not dangerous," Cherry spoke to the horse. "We're just passing through."
The horse blustered a bit again, looking annoyed.
"Well, I'm sure if you keep cool, these mice won't try to scare you, but if you have a problem with them, you'll have to go through me first." Cherry replied firmly.
"Wait. This is the same horse we saw at the cemetery." Mo said.
"But if the horse is here, then that means its owner must be..." Robyn said putting the information together.
Once they put the pieces together, the group panicked.
"Miss Red is in danger!" Patch panicked.
"Why, you..." Cherry glared at the black horse who seemed to smirk.
"Come on. I hope we're not too late!" Brother Tuffy warned the others before he dashed off out of the stable.
The others soon followed him and they came to the house as Miss Red was getting comfortable with her family friend.
Every time they came to a window, they would be shut out due to the curtains being closed on purpose.
The other Tom kept trying to go the windows only to get hit by one of the support beams of the house.
Tom groaned and face-pawed, feeling embarrassed.
"Now what are we gonna do?" Brother Tuffy frowned.
"Do Pound Puppies usually dig underground?" Cherry asked Patch.
"Well, yes, we can, but this is a bit more complicated than that." Patch replied.
"Darn," Cherry crossed her arms with a groan. "Now what? The door's locked. We'll need a..." she then stopped as it hit her before she suddenly remembered. "Key..."
The other Jerry soon took the key out with a small smile.
"The key from the horseman," Brother Tuffy realized. "Let's see if it works!"
They soon hurried to the front door and used the key and to their luck the key unlocked the door.
"Aha! So it was his key." Mo smirked.
"Alright, let's sneak inside and not make a single word." Patch whispered to the others.
"Yeah, we don't want Miss Red's family friend to know we're inside." Tom whispered back.
The others nodded, trying to stay as quiet as they possibly could.
They tiptoed inside, only for the other Tom to trip inside and nearly stumble over everything and even had to catch a pot, a horseback statue, a filled vase, and even a head bust of Sir Isaac Newton in his paws so that he wouldn't fall and break them. A couple of mean-looking Dalmatians seemed to be coming out as the others snuck around until the other Tom fell to the floor and they crashed on top of him, smashing his head with the bust and a portrait, much to his misfortune.
"Shh!" The others shushed and reminded the other Tom before Patch shook a chill down his spine.
The two Dalmatians glared at Patch, surrounding him at both sides.
"Relatives of yours?" Mo whispered to Patch nervously.
"I certainly don't recognize them." Patch whispered back.
"Uh. Hi, there." Cherry smiled nervously to the two Dalmatians.
The two Dalmatians continued to growl.
"Miss Red didn't tell us he had dogs." Tom said.
"Should we start running?" Jerry asked.
"That might be best." Patch replied.
"Aaaaugh!" The group cried out and panicked, running away as the Dalmatians chased them aggressively.
The man who let Miss Red into his home saw the mess, but decided to ignore it for now as he brought in a tray for the young redheaded woman. "Ah, here we go, my dear. Some tea and biscuits. It's just what the professor ordered. I apologize for the delay." he then said to her sweetly.
"I can't thank you enough, Professor," Miss Red smiled as she sat comfortably as he came to set the tea tray down in front of her. "I so appreciate your help."
"Of course," The Professor smiled before he felt an annoyance. "Will you please excuse me for just a moment? Help yourself while I check on a small annoyance." he then requested as he left the room to go upstairs where everyone else was hiding.
The Dalmatians glared and growled.
"Silence, you mutts!" The Professor glared at them for growling as they stopped at the end of the staircase before he climbed up to look around for any unwanted visitor. "Is someone there?" he then asked and when no one answered, he soon turned away and went to keep going where he was going before.
Everyone hid behind the wall, even with the other Tom and Jerry hiding behind a lamp, sort of like how Jerry hid behind a dolphin figurine at Aunt Figg's house before finding out that Robyn's estranged father was alive when others thought of him to be dead and Brother Tuffy soon opened a door as the Professor turned away and they ran into the door to hide.
"Phew... That was too close." Robyn sighed before she and the others went to go in and go after Brother Tuffy into the private room.
A smoky green aura seemed to come out downstairs that looked like whenever Cruella de Vil would smoke a cigarette, though it wasn't her nor was it her smoking as the two Dalmatians seemed to follow it before running into the source responsible for the green smoke.
"Damien, Demetria, you know better than to act out like this," A familiar young voice told the two Dalmatians. "No attacking unless for a good reason. Even Vicky's dog Doidle knows better to do his business outside or at Timmy Turner's house."
The two Dalmatians seemed to speak to him through Dog language.
"Oh... We have unwanted company?" The voice asked before stepping into the light to show that he was none other than Jackson de Vil before he smirked darkly, resembling his aunt. "Why didn't you just say so?"
Meanwhile in the private room...
"Whoa... What's that?" Jerry asked as he saw a machine.
"Looks like some kind of ray." Mo said.
"In the 19th century?" Cherry blinked, a bit surprised.
The doorknob was being jiggled which startled the group and they ran away to hide again before anyone would see them in the room and in the house which would probably get them in a lot of trouble.
"I don't see anyone in here," The Professor said to Jackson as they opened the door. "Maybe you and your friends should keep an eye on this room for a while."
"With pleasure," Jackson nodded. "I show no mercy to trespassers."
"Didn't expect any less Jackson now if you'll excuse me I have to go tie up our guest." The Professor said before leaving to tie up Miss Red.
'Jackson? Jackson de Vil?' Patch thought to himself.
"Now... Where, oh where could our intruders be?" Jackson smirked.
'Just great. Jackson de Vil just had to be here.' Cherry thought to herself.
"Come out, come out... I know you're in here," Jackson smirked as he came inside and looked around. "I can smell your fear~"
Cherry reminded the others to be quiet as they tried to hide their nervousness, but it was a bit hard. The other Tom soon found a door behind him and opened it up as he and the others went through it to hide. Jackson turned his head as he thought he heard another door open and close before he narrowed his onyx eyes.
"Hey! You locked us out!" Tom cried out as he tried to open the door as it closed before he groaned, leaning on a lever that soon activated something.
The roof soon activated something on a plane higher beside them to show some sort of new device that had something hidden and very valuable.
"Look, it's all the stolen diamonds!" Brother Tuffy pointed out to the others.
"But why would this Professor guy need all these stolen diamonds?" Jerry asked.
"Remember what Sherlock said about the Jewel of Punjab?" Patch asked him.
"Yeah?" Jerry replied.
"He must be using those diamonds for something really big." Patch said.
"Yeah, but what?" Robyn asked.
"No idea, but right now we should take as many diamonds off it so whatever evil plan he has in stored fails." Mo said.
"And not to mention we have to stay out of sight from Jackson de Vil. That guy is bad news." Cherry told Robyn, the Toms, and Jerrys, and Brother Tuffy.
"Is he that bad?" Robyn asked.
"He kidnapped Atticus when he was just a baby." Patch told her.
"What? But why?" Robyn frowned.
"Because he's evil and he's the favorite and just as malicious or cruel nephew of Cruella de Vil," Cherry replied. "There's often rumors that he strangled a Dalmatian when he was a baby."
"I really hope that part's just a rumor." Patch muttered to himself.
"Tell me about it," Cherry agreed. "Sounds like The Penguin's origin story in that one Batman movie of strangling a cat as a baby and his parents decided to abandon him. He's one of our biggest enemies in the world of adventures, much worse than your, erm... Aunt Figg and Lickboot."
"I hope I never have to see those two ever again." Robyn said.
"In my line of work, you might run into them again, but yes, it would be great if you didn't have to see them again." Cherry replied.
"It sounds like The Professor and I have some visitors," Jackson smirked as he climbed up on the steps outside the door. "It would be rude of me if I didn't come over and say hello to them~"
"Oh, no. He's coming." Robyn whispered.
"What do we do?" Jerry whispered back.
"For right now let's just take one the diamonds, rescue Miss Red, and get out of here so whatever they're planning fails." Tom whispered.
The other Jerry nodded before scampering up and soon grabbed the diamond. The other Tom then looked ready to catch it as the other Jerry tossed down the diamond. The diamond bounced on the rooftop, missing the other Tom before Brother Tuffy caught it, only to bounce with it and suddenly end up in a chimney that was previously behind him.
"Funny... I didn't know that diamonds bounced." Cherry commented dryly.
"Whoa! I've got it." Brother Tuffy smiled as he came right back up.
"Thank goodness." Patch sighed with a smile back.
But then suddenly, the brick that Brother Tuffy stood on wobbled a bit and he fell through the chimney again as it began to break apart through the bricks as the other Tom and Jerry went to save him only to fall with him, sending them all down the fireplace.
"Oh, great." Cherry groaned.
"Well, we might as well join them." Robyn said.
"Yeah, but most likely the professor might still be in the living room with Miss Red." Patch said.
"It's a risk we'll have to take." Jerry said.
"Everybody, watch your steps," Cherry suggested. "It's gonna be like Mary Poppins down the chimney down there."
Everyone soon carefully stepped over and slid down the chimney flue, trying to be careful and not getting hurt as they came down and ended up in the fireplace, covered in soot and ash instantly.
"I'm a Labrador again!" Patch noted after he was completely covered in soot, appearing to be all black which brought back weirdly familiar memories.
"I'll take that." The Professor smirked as he approached Brother Tuffy, swiping the diamond away from the small gray mouse instantly, making him fall back down on the floor.
"Miss Red, Miss Red, he's not your frie-" Brother Tuffy began to warn, only to see Miss Red tied up on the couch with Tin, Pan, and Alley surrounding her.
"Yes, aren't you clever?" The Professor smirked as they saw that he had revealed himself to be evil before trapping the others in the fireplace into a cage instantly.
"He's not alone though." Jackson said as he appeared with his Dalmatian companions by his side, snarling darkly and menacingly.
"Jackson de Vil," Cherry glared. "I thought I suspected you."
"Clever, even if you aren't the detective between you and Atticus, but this is in fact, Professor Moriarty." Jackson smirked.
"Who recommended Sherlock Holmes to Miss Red," The Professor then continued from there, mocking the group. "I also ordered false clues to be left for him. Because the only thing sweeter than the perfect crime is the perfect crime committed right under your enemy's nose."
"You got the diamonds what you need Miss Red for? Let her go" Brother Tuffy told the Professor.
"Oh, the diamonds robberies were just the opening act," Jackson smirked. "Isn't that right, Professor?"
"Oh, indeed, lad." The Professor smirked back.
They were soon shown on the roof with the group still in their cage.
"For the main event, we are going to steal the crowned jewels." The Professor smirked.
"Especially when this jewel is added to the ray," Jackson smirked as he took Miss Red's choker. "For you see her jewel was the last one we needed."
"So... What is that machine exactly?" Mo asked. "That can't be good for the environment."
"This machine you see before you is a sophisticated heat ray powered by these unique diamonds which are able to intensify the sun's light," Moriarity began to explain. "I've designed it to work with the light from a solar eclipse. When the eclipse occurs, this machine will send out a powerful beam which will be reflected by a series of mirrors to slice through the Tower of London."
"You're daft!" Brother Tuffy glared.
"Yeah! Sherlock Holmes will stop you." Robyn added.
"I think not," Moriarity retorted smugly. "You see, I've sent your beloved Sherlock Holmes on a wild-goose chase."
"What did you make him do?" Cherry glared.
"No, a literal wild-goose chase," Jackson explained. "Pretty self-explanatory."
"Are you serious?" Cherry deadpanned.
"Hey, it wasn't MY idea," Jackson shrugged before smirking. "But I knew Atticus would want to join Sherlock Holmes himself on the case, especially if it meant leaving you alone without him to protect you~"
Meanwhile, Sherlock and Watson were shown to be, in fact, trying to chase a wild goose, while Atticus looked a little deadpan.
"Okay, am I the only one who thinks this is a distraction?" Atticus asked.
After chasing the wild goose, they finally caught it before plucking one of its feathers only to be disappointed.
"It doesn't match." Sherlock said out of disappointment.
"Off to the next farm then I suppose." Watson said.
Atticus face-palmed. "I gotta get out of here. Who knew solving a mystery with Sherlock Holmes would end up being like this?" he then complained.
"I'm not sure, Watson," Sherlock sighed as he went to sit down, seeming forlorn. "Something is wrong."
"Maybe we should take a break," Watson suggested. "It is already morning and the solar eclipse is about to begin."
"The solar eclipse?" Atticus asked.
"Indeed, young man," Watson nodded as he explained. "Ah, we have such a fine view."
"Of course! While we've been on this wild goose chase, literally, I might add the culprit, no doubt Professor Moriarty, will be using the solar eclipse and the mirrors that lead to the royal palace." Atticus said.
"And that's where the royal jewels are being held." Sherlock replied.
"Oh, dear." Watson said.
"We better hurry." Atticus said as they hurried off to their horse-drawn carriage.
"Yes, my boy, that's it," Sherlock agreed as they rushed to the horse-drawn carriage as he held out his hand for Watson. "I pray we're not too late. Hyah!" he then added to make the horse go.
"Hang on, Cherry, Mo, and Patch, I'm comin' back for ya!" Atticus called out as they took off together.
