ZeroX: YES, that was a LONG chapter. We had four characters jump in. But
ONE still remains to complete this love section of the originals Hams.
Only there will be more...

Capture
The Ham-Hams had walked a long time. They were tired from the battle. But they were also tired from carrying Hamtaro, who was still knocked out. Everybody saw the town Chi-Lo, and they all teleported there immediately. Panda saw the Inn, so he directed everyone there and they all slept. During the night, Hamtaro woke up and looked around. He was in a dark room with all the Ham-Hams sleeping on beds. The moonlight shined brightly, liked a large flashlight. It went through the window, and it was shining on something.
He tied a blue bandana around his head. It was too long, so the two ends were hanging at the knot tied behind his head. He walked up to the door. He looked down at his feet, thinking. He lifted his head again, and looked to the right. The moonlight was shining on something, and Hamtaro observed what it was. It was on his pack, hanging on the wall. He walked up to it, and pulled out something from the right side of it. It was his sword. He had pulled out the Strike Sword. This is what he had used to kill Draeo both times. It was still bloodstained from the assault the Ham-Hams had to face. He went into the bathroom and washed it in the sink. Now it was clean and pure like spring water.
He grabbed the handle, and walked out the bathroom. He walked up to the door, and closed his eyes. He thought back of the time when Delis first disappeared.
2 years ago in the forest
"Hei Dewis, 'ook at mai plain!" He was running around making plane noises as he played with his toy. "Oh yeah? I can do better than that!" They both grinned. He talked into a communication pad, and a helicopter rose at the cliff ahead of them. Delis grabbed Hamtaro's hand and swung him onto his back. "Yippie, yippie!" He was having so much fun. Delis took him off his back, and threw him into the helicopter. He landed softly in the co-pilots seat. Soon Delis jumped in afterwards. Delis piloted around the sea. He showed him the great blue water...the waves...the beauty. But as he let him try steering, he had a pain in his stomach. As he was about to let go of the yolk, his hand accidentally knocked the yolk to the left, and Delis hit the helicopter door and fell out. He remembered what Delis told him to do at a time like this.
He found a large grapple hook, stuck it on the helicopter, and then tied it around his waist. He jumped in to the water. Delis was there, floating. He woke up, and Hamtaro he stuck out his arm tried to grab Delis. Only he was too far, and his swing only hit him. Delis was left unconscious, floating in the water. Hamtaro climbed up the rope, and flew the helicopter back home. "I'll save you Delis." That was the last thing he said then. "I'll save you."
Hamtaro opened his eyes. They grew wet, and his vision began to blur. He shut his eyes again, and tears came, trickling down his cheeks like lava. The pain of losing Delis burned. He looked back up. Wiping his tears off with his hand, he pushed the door open and walked out. He walked out of the inn, and he was out in the fields.
He got into a ready position one, holding his blade out in front of him diagonally outward. He moved his arms up-right, so the sword face down- left, like a parry. Just as he did that he jumped his hand up and let go of the handle. He flipped his right hand so the butt of his fist was facing the ground, and he held the sword like a dagger. He stuck his left arm out, and threw his arm downward, slicing an imaginary opponent in half. He completed the slice down to the right of his waist, then let go of it again and flipped his right hand. He grabbed the blade upright again, and he cut the air horizontally to his left. As he was about to swing again, instead he stabbed the blade into the ground, and he put his hand on it to support him. He bended his knees a bit, and looked down, sweating.
"It's too much. I can't do this." The very thought of Delis...it sickened his mind and weakened his body. He pulled his sword from the ground and walked back into the inn. He put the weapon back into his pack, and went to bed.
He had an odd dream...it was the Elder Ham. He said to him,
"Cross the ledge and twist the gear. Thou shall wait for the gate's opening hear. Place the Argen Circlet right. Then shut your eyes against the bright light.
Reveal to you, Five hundred keys. To the point of the sun, Where a path of trees Will move around, and make a walk. Go up to the front and start to talk.
Ask for the entrance, Be kind and gentle. Or else the trees will smash you, And make you go mental.
Gain access to the end of the road. Complete the test; pick up the load. There it will be, the start of the search. But make sure that you don't disturb a birch."
Hamtaro woke up, and he breathed heavily. He remembered what happened in the dream. He looked at the clock, and it was 7:00 AM. He clapped his hands hard, and with a loud bang thunder roared from his hands. It woke up everyone. They all groaned at Hamtaro. Oxnard got his pillow and whacked Hamtaro on the head.
"Hamtaro, we need our rest for the journey!" Hamtaro smirked, but got a comeback that would demolish Oxnard's attitude.
"Oxnard, with the more time we have, we can eat more sunflower seeds!" Oxnard jumped up for joy, and ran into the bathroom, washed his face, brushed his teeth, ran back out, put on his pack and zipped in front of Hamtaro in five seconds. Hamtaro was satisfied. It took an hour for the rest of them to get ready. They all ate 5 sunflower seeds. They set out again, heading west. When they reached Moordoor, about 10 miles from their last stop, they sat down and had a picnic. Diane introduced herself to everyone.
"Hi, I am Diane. I am a warrior-Ham. I specialize in archery, but I can still use swords and such. I thank you all for letting me join you, and I thank Jingle for saving me." Everyone applauded. She bowed, and took off her hat. She had a bit of purple hair. Then as she got up she put it back on, and sat down next to Jingle. They all played, ran around, and ate. But Hamtaro was serious. He was reading a book, and studying the maps. His finger mapped a trail...
"HEY GUYS! WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO A BRIDGE! FROM THE BRIDGE IT'S 20 MILES, AND THERE IS A PALACE NEAR THE BRIDGE!!!!"
"LET'S GO!" Everyone was enthusiastic. They packed up everything and left. As they headed west, they approached the bridge. It was insecure, and it swayed a lot, but this was a quick way to get across. They could start to make out the palace. But then they could make out a Ham with a sword. It approached the bridge. He was about to cut it, but Diane put her hand up and a HUGE blast of fire shot out of her hand. It was like a big beam of fire. It hit the Ham, and he disintegrated. Just when Pashmina was about to yell at Diane for killing someone, they noticed that while the Ham was dying, his body was shaped like a cross with two legs sticking out diagonally. Then, the body flashed and was replaced by a purple star, then back and forth 2 more times, then he disappeared. Pashmina let go of her anger, because she realized this was someone that was working for Delis. But when he disintegrated, his sword didn't...so it cut the rope and they all fell. They couldn't fly because the mass was too much. They all landed in the water below them.
5 hours later
Oxnard woke up, and found himself in a nice cozy bed. He had bandages wrapped around his head. He couldn't remember why. But then, it struck him. The fall, the bridge, the water, it all had come back to him. But there was also one more thing...someone new? A girl-Ham walked in the room holding soup.
"So you have finally awaken."
"Heke? I'm Oxnard, and what am I doing here?"
"I'm Pepper, and I found you and 18 others at the rocks near my house. So I took you all in and cared for you."
"Thank you. We are on a mission to save the world...would you care to join us?"
"WELL, I did do this job about a year ago.sure!"
"Great! I'll tell the others." Oxnard put his hands on his temples (the sides of the head. You know...) and they glowed white. He sent a message through his mind alerting everyone. They all responded positively. Everyone got up out of bed, and they got ready for the journey. Since Hamtaro was up before anyone else, he use the time to read his book and judge a good way to reach the palace, since they needed some information from them. He figured if he was in Raze Woods, if he went east of here, then took a 2 mile trail northeast...
Maxwell was the first to see it. "GREAT! Here is the palace!" Everyone jumped up for joy. But Maxwell stepped up. "But let me scan it first." So Maxwell scanned it, but access was denied. So they just went up to the front. The guards opened the door and led them to the King and Queen without a word. When they first walked in, the royals jumped out of their seats and ran for someone.
"PRINCESS PENELOPE!" They ran up to Penelope and pinched her cheeks, and treated her like the cutest thing on Earth. Then they looked up. "YOU! YOU KIDNAPPED PENELOPE! Guards, take them into the jails!" They Hams were suddenly caught in a net and dragged into a dungeon. There wasn't a single way to get out. The place was locked tight, with a steal door that had no cracks, and left no space for air to get in or out. THEY WERE GOING TO SUFFOCATE! Um..yeah. Anyway, they were trapped...the exit was blocked. They turned around, and they saw Boss digging. He was digging in the back wall. Stan got the notion something was behind it, so he leaped in the air and kicked it. The wall cracked.
"It's kind of weak if you ask me." Stan was surprised at how easily it cracked. Oxnard walked up to the crack and gave it a power punch. It cracked a bit more. Hamtaro put his two hands back and grabbed two things on the sides of his pack. He pulled them out, and shot them at the wall. He had pulled out his Fire Sword and Aqua Blade. The heat and cold finally made the metal break. There, in front of them, was a maze.
