After a few seconds of expecting to get crushed but didn't, Roxanne bravely opened her eyes and gasped as she looked around. She was glad to see that she and her friends were still alive and completely unharmed, but also like them she was surprised when she looked at the thing that surrounded them. Whatever it was, it made them look like they were all inside a giant red jell-o mold. Everyone was still gathered like a scrunched-up paper ball, but at least the thing wasn't touching them.

"What is this thing around us?" Clarabelle asked.

Ludwig was very happy as he looked at it. "My tough, hard-as-rocks, defensive and delicious jell-o! It works! It finally works!"

"But how did it work?" Michaela asked.

"I don't know," Ludwig said. "I've tried to get it to work, but I've always failed. I don't even know how it got here."

"I carried some," Goofy said. "In both of my pockets. In case I got hungry."

"This jell-o is not for eating, Goofy," Ludwig told him. "How did you get it to work, Goofy?"

"Gosh, I don't know. The only other thing I had in my pockets was mustard. In both pockets, that is."

"Mustard?" Ludwig cried. "Mustard and jell-o together? That's what made it rise to what it is now?"

"Well, I don't have nothing else in my pockets," Goofy said.

"Yuck!" Pistol cried. "Not a delicious favour."

"But a delicious in the sense that it saved our lives," Lucy said.

"Like, can you eat a hole of this jell-o, Professor Luddy?" Bobby asked Ludwig.

"Sure, no problem."

While the duck scientist started to work a way out of this mustard flavoured jell-o, everyone praised Goofy for saving their lives.

"Goofy, you're a hero!" Clarabelle cried.

Peg hugged him. "This is the second time you saved my family!" She even kissed him.

"Not only that, Mr. G, but you saved the whole audience!" Clarry praised.

"Aw, shucks," Goofy said bashfully.

No matter how hard he tried, Ludwig just couldn't find a way out. He sighed. "I've never thought I would invent something that would work this well. If only I had something to dig it with, like a spade."

"The only things I have closest to spades is these 'ere spoons," Goofy said. He fished them out under his hat.

Ludwig took them. "Thanks, Goofy." Then he used the spoons to try to make a hole in the jell-o and it worked. He was able to dig a hole big enough for everyone to get out.

"Do you know, Goofy, that you helped me invent as defence system that's hard to attack on the outside but easy for those inside to leave?" Ludwig asked.

"Gosh," was all Goofy could say, not having a clue about what his scientist friend was talking about.

Once everyone was free of that tough, disgusting, smelly jell-o, they were all shocked to see Tanchester Square Garden was no more. There weren't even any ruins of it at all; they were nothing except broken stone parts, rubble and dust.

"Search for trapdoors, hidden doors, doors that blend into the wall or whatever you can find," Clarabelle said. "It's a start to finding this Phantom and rescuing T-Rax."

Everyone got busy looking under the damaged stage, the collapsed balconies, the destroyed suites and the dusty and heavy rumble around them. The only ones who weren't helping at all were the stadium managers who were kneeling in front of their damaged office. They were too upset to help because they didn't see their former office or the rubble covering it but rather all their money flushed down the toilet and swimming into the sewage pipe.

"Oh, my gosh!" Mortimer cried. "My gosh!"

"We're ruined, Morty," Pete cried, shaking his partner roughly. "Ruined!"

Then they both broke down into tears.

"We can't find any trap doors or anything," Clarry said.

After ten minutes of looking and checking everywhere three times, everyone else had to agree with him and tried to think of better ideas.

Then Clarabelle had an idea. "Maybe if we spilt up into two groups, we might be able to cover all Tanchester, see if there's any secret doors and capture this Phantom and rescue T-Rax. Unless of course anyone else has a better idea."

Which no one had.

"Who's going to be the leader of each group?" Clarry asked.

"How about Goofy?" Peg asked. "He's worked here so he must know the town."

"Well, I only know half of this town, Peg," Goofy said. "Clarabelle knows all the town."

"Yeah, that's right." Clarabelle got out a map of Tanchester and show it to Goofy and Peg. "Now, Goofy, show us where the half you know the best."

Goofy looked at the map. "I only know this here south half of this town. I don't know nothing about the north half because I've never been there at all."

"Well, I know the north half like the back of my hand," Clarabelle said. "I can lead my half on there while you can lead the south half."

"Well, I can take everyone else to the south half," Goofy said. "but I'm not very good at finding stuff. Peg, will you lead our team if you take to these places?"

"Of course I will, Goofy," Peg said. "You saved my family twice. I'll happily help you to save yours."

Soon Clarabelle and Peg addressed the public and told them the search party was going to split up into two teams as they searched Tanchester to rescue T-Rax and capture the Phantom. Clarabelle would lead the team covering the north half while Peg and Goofy would lead the south half. After giving everyone the opportunity to join a search group if they wanted, the leaders were very surprised when everyone – no matter who they were, whether they were adult or child, rich or poor, customer or former staff member of Tanchester Square Garden – split and joined them. Both groups had the same amount of volunteers.

"All right, then," Peg said to her group. "LET'S MOVE!"

"FOLLOW ME!" Clarabelle ordered, as she led her group.

There were only four who didn't join either group. Two of them were the managers who were still sobbing about losing their job, their position, their security and all of their dough. Roxanne didn't join either team because while she was deciding which one to join, she noticed Michaela not joining either group but walking her own way behind the giant pile of rubble. Remembering that she seemed to know a lot about this Phantom – and betting there was a lot more that she knew than she would say – Roxanne decided to follow her.

Roxanne followed Michaela to a grey stony brick wall. She hid behind a corner from the giant mountain and watched Michaela push some loose bricks in the wall. As she watched Michaela, Roxanne thought she was doing it in some sort of order as she was trying to unlock a code to a hidden door. Then she learned she was correct when the wall did open a door and Michaela ran to past it before it closed behind her and quickly too.

Roxanne decided that if she could open that hidden door, she could learn more about Michaela and what she knew about the Phantom and maybe that could help her to rescue Max. She ran to the wall and tried to remember the very same bricks that Michaela touched and which order she did it in. Before she touched the first brick, she hesitated because she was worried if she would get the sequence wrong and she would never get in. But then she plucked up more courage when she decided that she couldn't rescue Max if she didn't try.

Roxanne pushed in the first brick and, so far, it was okay as the brick stayed pushed in. Then she pushed in what she thought was the second brick and still so far so good. Then she continued pushing in the same bricks in the same order. Then there was only one brick left to push. She hesitated because she was hoping this would open the door and she would be able to go in and save Max. She closed her eyes as she pushed the last brick in and then she opened her eyes after hearing a rumbling noise. She saw the door quickly opened and she wasted no time to run past it before it closed behind her quickly.
