Episode 10: The Quest to Defeat the Dark Ham! Part 1

*At the clubhouse*

Hamtaro: So that's how it started.....it all started with the Dark Ham.

Boss: So it wasn't those three's fault after all.

Bijou: Maybe it still was, unless they only agreed to do his dirty work because they were scared of his power.

Hamtaro: Maybe...

Dexter: How are we going to defeat him if he has power?

Hamtaro: I don't know. We will have to find some way!

Bijou: You know we aren't going to let you go alone, Hamtaro. We are all with you all the way.

Hamtaro: Thanks, Bijou.

Howdy: Now I can't even find something funny to say in this situation.

Dexter: Let's be thankful for that!

Howdy: I heard that!!

Pashmina: He must be really powerful, to scare those three into working for him.

Stan: That is so uncool, dudes.

Sandy: You said it.

Hamtaro: Hmm.... *to himself* If the Dark Ham has these powers, he could do anything! But we have to defeat him, because of what he has done to everyone, enslaving the three of the "Bad Hams" and making them try to kill us all. *to everyone else* We shouldn't waste too much more time! Dexter, Maxwell, do you two still have the Ham-Robot with you?

Dexter: Yes, but it's somewhere in the caves, we lost it when we came back because of some interference with the radar.

Hamtaro: *to himself* Whatever a radar is.

Maxwell: I think I can find it *runs out of the clubhouse*

Hamtaro: Where's my "Hamtaro Sword"? We might need it to defeat the Dark Ham also.

Bijou: Here, Hamtaro! *throws the sword to Hamtaro, and Hamtaro catches it* I've been keeping it for you, and I cleaned it just yesterday *blushes*

Hamtaro: Thanks, Bijou. Alright, then, everyone *tries not to quail under Boss' furious glare* It's time to see if Maxwell found the Ham-Robot yet.

And with that said, they ran out into the caves to search for Maxwell. Maxwell came with the Ham-Robot a few minutes later and the other Hams found him.

Maxwell: *In Robot* Let's go get him!

All the Ham-Hams went in the Ham-Robot and Maxwell drove out of the caves and they started searching for the Dark Ham's Castle.

*At the Dark Ham's Castle*

Dark Ham: I've been waiting on them to come, hahaha.... They will regret coming here!

*Back at the Ham-Robot* *Inside the Ham-Robot*

Hamtaro: How much longer until we reach the Dark Ham's Castle?

Maxwell: We should be nearly there.

Bijou: Why are we in such a rush?

Hamtaro: Because I want to stop the Dark Ham before he causes any more trouble for anyone else!

Boss: And so do I!

Rest of Ham-Boys: Us too!

Bijou, Pashmina and Sandy: *sigh*

Maxwell: Dark Ham's Castle, dead ahead!

Hamtaro: I'm ready to go!

*The Ham-Robot stops at the Dark Ham's Castle*

*The Ham-Hams jump out and go inside the Dark Ham's Castle, led by Hamtaro, Bijou and Boss*

*Inside the Control Room*

Dark Ham: They dared come here?! I'll have something ready for them, then, hahahaha....

*Back inside the entrance tot he Castle*

*The gate shuts behind everyone*

Bijou: We're stuck here!!

Hamtaro: He must be at a control room...

Boss: Come on everyone, let's find it, then!

*They run through a door and come face-to-face with 2 Skeletons*

Hamtaro: *uses Hamtaro Sword and knocks one of them out*

Skeleton 2: *captures Bijou*

Bijou: Help!

Hamtaro: *uses sword and knocks the other one out, but the skeleton throws Bijou into the air right before Hamtaro slashes him*

Bijou: Hamtaro!! Help!!!

Hamtaro: *jumps up and grabs Bijou and lands safely, and puts her down*

Boss: Let's keep going.

Hamtaro: Bijou, just stay close to me.

Bijou: Alright.

Boss: *glares angrily at Hamtaro, but keeps following them, the rest of the Ham-Hams keeping a safe distance from him*

*They run into a large room, where a monitor drops from the ceiling, hits the floor, and the face of the Dark Ham appears on it*

Dark Ham: You have no right to come into my castle!

Hamtaro: You will pay for trying to kill all of us!

Dark Ham: Yes, and that was for a reason. If you had defeated Rad, Pierre and Buster, then I would have had to come myself and kill you all, but now I think I'll have a little fun. See if you can get through my castle and find the Control Room! You'll never survive my traps! Hahaha! *monitor disappears*

Hamtaro: I hear something...

*the castle shakes and 2 more Skeletons appear*

*the sword in Hamtaro's hand shoots a thunderbolt and hits the Skeletons, making them shrivel and disappear*

Boss: What on earth was that?!

Hamtaro: I don't know, it did it by itself!

Bijou: You pointed your sword at the Skeletons...

Hamtaro: That must be how to activate it then! I can't believe we're doing this, though. It's us against this Dark Ham with unimaginable powers...

Boss: Just shut up!!! What if he-

Bijou: That's enough, you two!

Hamtaro: As I was saying, he has unimaginable powers, and we don't know what they are yet!

Bijou: Then we'll have to find out!

Boss: Let's move out!

Panda: This is gonna become more and more dangerous...

Pashmina and Sandy: *shiver and Pashmina follows closely behind Stan, and Sandy follows closely behind Maxwell*

*The ceiling in the next room is all rocks*

*They start to fall to the ground, while the castle starts shaking again*

Hamtaro: RUN!!!

*The Ham-Hams run as fast as they can across the room, trying to avoid the rocks that are falling*

*one of the rocks hits Hamtaro and he is sent flying towards the wall beside the door they are trying to get to*

Rest of Ham-Hams: *gasp and try to help him*

Bijou: Hamtaro!! *jumps after him and tries to catch him*

Boss: Bijou, no!

Hamtaro: Gahhh!!!! *tries to land*

Bijou: Hang on, Hamtaro!

*Another skeleton appears and captures Hamtaro, throws him back, and takes the Hamtaro Sword from him*

Bijou: *gasps as she runs into the skeleton and knocks him back*

Boss: He has the Hamtaro Sword now!!

Skeleton: *picks Bijou up and throws her at the other Ham-Hams*

Hamtaro: *gets up and jump-slams into the Skeleton and takes the Hamtaro Sword back, then jumps forward and catches Bijou*

Bijou: *lands with Hamtaro*

Skeleton: *gets up and throws a punch at Hamtaro*

Bijou: Hamtaro, behind you!!

But as Hamtaro turns around, the Skeleton had already landed his punch and sent Hamtaro sailing back into a wall, and the Skeleton once again takes the Hamtaro Sword and advances on Bijou.

To Be Continued...

Uh-oh! It seems that the Skeleton has knocked Hamtaro out of his way, took the Hamtaro Sword, and is now advancing on Bijou! What will the other Ham- Hams do? Will Hamtaro be able to save her this time? Find out on the next episode of Hamtaro's New Adventures!!
