At the Bad Hams Place...
"What's the darn deal?" Mike yelled. "What again?!" "I dunno...maybe...I dunno..." Stella muttered. He gave her a look of confusion and started out the door. "Where are you going?" the Bad Hams asked in unison. "I'm going over there," Mike replied, "to find out what the heck they're talking about!" "What the heck?" Stella shouted. "Then they'd know about our cam-corder!" But Mike was already outside.
Soon enough, Mike saw Hamtaro and Caitlin near the river. They hadn't seen him because they were in a deep conversation. He hid behind a rock and listened to their conversation:
"Man," Hamtaro muttered, "it must be hard...don't you think? No peace...darn... It must be hard for you since...you know...you like Boss-" "You like HIM!" Mike scolded and jumped out at them fuming. "Why'd you care?" Caitlin retorted. "Duh! He's my worst enemy!" Mike condesended.
Hamtaro looked at her and the two ran. "Hey!" Mike yelled. "Come back here! Tell me what happened!" Caitlin stopped and turned around. "Heke?" Hamtaro said. "I don't get it."
She explained it to Mike, but all he did was throw his head back and cackle evily and mockingly. "Well, I thought you'd laugh..." Caitlin said with a raised, smart alecky voice, "...since, of course, you'd make us think it wasn't you." Mike then stopped laughing and looked at her with angered, flaming eyes. "What'd you say?" his voice flamed. She gulped and shuffled backward. "Hmmm?" Mike pressured. Hamtaro stepped in front of Caitlin to defend her and replied, "You did it and you know it!" "Please, you pathetic child!" Mike hissed. "This is grown-up stuff! So, why don't you play with your blocks, Hamtaro-dear?"
Hamtaro stepped back. Even though he'd heard Mike's words were awful fron Boss, never had he been so offended by his personal age! Mike pushed him out of the way and said to Caitlin, "You make the first move: sock me, insult me, or run. You name it, I'll play along." She balled her hand up into a fist but hesitated. He started to snicker. Caitlin opened her mouth, but her words didn't come out. Hamtaro watched as Mike began to cackle his evil laugh. Her eyes grew big with offense. "What?" Mike condesended. "You can't take a mocking?" It was then Caitlin socked Mike in the nose and ran.
"Oh!" Mike yelled in reply. "So you think you're gonna get away with that?!" He started to dart after her into a tunnel of the clubhouse's. Hamtaro paused a moment and dashed after him and Caitlin.
Sudden enough, they came to a dead-end in the tunnel next to Boss's bedroom. For some reason, it had a large puddle of water at the end. Caitlin didn't notice it so she backed up into it. "Aaauuuggghhh!" she yelled as...
Hamtaro stood beside Mike as they blinked stupidly. "She...she..." Hamtaro stuttered. Mike finished, "Vanished." Hamtaro asked, "What is the puddle of water?" There was so much he didn't understand. "It's," Mike replied, "a portal hole. This must've been what happened." "I wouldn't be able to spot it," Hamtaro replied.
Hamtaro and Mike were thinking the same thing. Something from another world had come from the portal hole. So, Hamtaro thought, it must push anyone who comes by at night into the hole. Man, I wonder if they want to take over. That's hopeless, Mike thought. How are they gonna get out if they don't have any real gear or weapons? This is a job for- "Kid! What are you doing?!" Mike yelled at Hamtaro as he reached toward the puddle. "I'm going to help," he explained. "This is what a Ham-Ham does." "Doesn't seem Ham-Hams are too bright," Mike condesended. "Too bad Bad Hams are way better and they have a smart leader who has enough sense to keep everyone safe and on the right track!" "Yeah, whatever," Hamtaro remarked. "If I don't make it back, tell Bijou I love her." He blushed mildly as Mike roared in laughter. "Don't fret..." he mumbled, "...you're too young for a girlfriend, Hamtaro-kid. Only when you grow up like me will you understand-" "Whatever," Hamtaro retorted hastily and poked at the water.
He vanished into the portal quickly. Mike sat glaring, despite the fact the Ham-Hams had been watching because they heard them in the tunnel. But Mike wasn't evil-minded like he usually was. This is crazy... he thought. I do want to take over the Ham-Hams, but it won't be the same without the ones I hate the most. It's too easy! I gotta get 'em outta there and Boss'll be so grateful, he'll hand them over and I'll be ruler!
