"Hamtaro, wait up! I'm not as in good shape as you are!" panted
Oxnard. "I'm sorry Oxy, but we need to get as far away as possible from
Kenji so he won't try to stop us!" Hamtaro told Oxnard. "But he's probably
right Hamtaro! Can we really get Icernia to join us?" Asked Oxnard."Maybe
not join us, but at least leave Hamrigan's side and return to her home
village." said Hamtaro. "I know you don't like the idea Oxy, so you can go
back if you want to." Hamtaro added. "I haven't left your side before, and
i'm not gonna now!" Oxnard said. "You're a true pal Oxy!" Hamtaro said.
"Aw, c'mon, i'm not that great." Oxnard chuckled. "Now, where do we
start?" Said Hamtaro to himself. "Well, it is night, so maybe we could
sleep first?" Oxnard said hopefully. "Ok. I'm kinda sleepy too."Hamtaro
said agreeingly. "There's a small tree we could sleep under." Oxnard told
Hamtaro, pointing towards a small tree. "Good work." Hamtaro said walking
towards it. They nestled under and fell asleep. Or at least Oxnard did.
Hamtaro lay awake thinking about Bijou and Sandy. "It's enough with Sandy
being destroyed, but not Bijou too." Hamtaro said quietly to himself. "I
just hope no one else will be destroyed." Soon, lost in thought, Hamtaro
fell asleep.
Up in the Dark Castle Icernia was sent off to destroy the warriors once and for all. Hamrigan was working on something else though. Being short of henchmen, he decided to use a secret device that Hamrigan's evil scientists made up. Hamrigan was in the dark lab, examining the machine. "Is it ready?" Hamrigan asked. "It is ready my lord and should be working cooperatively." The lead scientists told him. "Good." Hamrigan mused. Then, Hamrigan shot his dark powers into the machine, and the whole room lit up with an eerie purple glow. The machine began to speak in a computerized voice. "Please type in the name of the destroyed one you are looking for." The machine had the ability to connect itself to the death realm, able to resurect anyone, but only Hamrigan's dark powers could make this possible. He typed in the name of the ham he was searching for. "Our system will track him down immediately." The computer told him. 20 short seconds later, the voice came up again. "The Specified creature you were looking for has been found. In order to initiate resurection, our system will need more power." the computer voice said. Hamrigan once again shot his dark powers at the machine. The machine sucked in the powers and did nothing. "What's happening? Why won't it work?!" Hamrigan boomed angrily. "Be patient my lord. The computer is just using the energy up." The lead scientist said, trying to calm Hamrigan down. Before Hamrigan could say anymore, a blast of darkness shot from the top of the machine. "Initiating revival sequence now." The computer voice said. "Perfect." Hamrigan mused. "Soon again I will have my strong soldier back, and with the proper training, he will be unstoppable!" Hamrigan laughed evily.
Kenji and the others were asleep, except Kenji, who sat at the edge of the cave, looking out towards were Hamtaro ran off on him. "I shouldn't have said all that stuff to him." Kenji mumbled to himself. "What if he doesn't come back? What will we do?" He thought to himself worringly. "And if Boss comes back, should I let him rejoin us? Will he really turn on us?" He looked were all the others were sleeping, but someone was missing. "Hey wait a minute. Where's Sparkle?" He wondered. A sudden rustling in the bushes startled Kenji. "Huh?Who's there?!" Kenji called out. No answer. "Is that you Hamtaro? Sparkle? Answer me!" Kenji cried. With all the yelling, the others woke up. "What's all the racket about?" Dexter moaned. "What racket? How can you use one if you don't got a tennis ball?!" Howdy cracked up. Dexter goaned. "The only thing that i'd need a racket for is to hit you Howdy!" "Aw c'mon Partner! You're still not in a down mood are ya? You can't be, cause you're standing up!" Howdy laughed. Dexter had enough and put his hands over Howdy's mouth. "Can it! Kenji's found something!" Dexter ordered. "What's the matter?" Maxwell said, walking over. Suddenly, a net was flung at the hamhams, and before they could even think about escaping, they were caught. Stan was still asleep at the back of the cave. "What is all this?!" Howdy demanded. "Someone has caught us with a net!" Maxwell exclaimed. "Who would do such a thing?!" Dexter cried. "I think I know who!" Kenji said. Icernia stepped out of the bushes. "Ha ha ha! I knew that you'd all fall into my trap! Being the dim witted fools you are!" Icernia sneered. "You won't keep us in here for long!" Maxwell declared. His paws lit up with purple energy in the shape of a star. "Pshycic star!" Maxwell cried, trying to cut through the net. The attack went right through the net, doing no harm. "What? That's impossible! That should have worked!" Maxwell cried in disbelief. "No attacks of yours will cut or blast through this net. I designed it so psychic attacks and swords will have no effect." Icernia snikered. "And don't try gnawing through it either, cause that also won't work." she added.
"This is hopeless. Without Hamtaro or Destroyer Dragon, we're done for!" Kenji cried. "You're forgetting someone who isn't caught yet!" Maxwell said pointing to Stan. "If we can wake him up, maybe he can help us!" Maxwell told Kenji. "It might just work!" Kenji replied. "Alright! Everyone, start screaming as loud as you can. No questions asked, just do it!" Maxwell commanded. "But why are ya aski-" Howdy began. "He said no questions you idiot! Just start screaming!" Dexter said angrily. He began screaming and so did Maxwell. Kenji joined in. "Aw heck with it!" Howdy said, and he began screaming too. "It's useless! Screaming won't get you anywhere! Just give up!" Icernia sneered. Stan started to wake up. "Five more minutes" Stan mumbled sleepily. Then his eyes began to focus properly, seeing his friends caught in the net. "Whoah! Hang on dudes, i'm coming!" Stan cried. "Hurry up!" Cried Dexter. "I don't think he'll make it in time!" Maxwell said with doubt as Icernia raised her sword above the trapped hamhams.
Sparkle was walking in the woods alone. "I don't need those stupid hamhams help! I can find my own way home!" Sparkle said to herself. "It's a little dark, but no biggie! I can handle this!" Twigs snapped and the wind rustled through the leaves, making an eerie howling sound. Sparkle was getting nervous now. "I-it's just the wind. Nothing big!" Sparkle said trying to calm herself. Suddenly, something slithered across her foot. It was a snake. She screamed and ran as fast as she could. She came out of the forest, panting and shaking. "Just, a snake! Only a small harmless snake!" She said to herself. The sun was beginning to rise. "Well, that's a good sign." Sparkle said relieved. But it wasn't, for a Ground Lizard who knew that it was morning popped out of the ground and began chasing Sparkle. "Why is it always me that gets chased? Why?!" Sparkle screamed. She saw a tree and dove under it, hoping the low branches would help cover her. She looked beside her and saw Boss, Pashmina, Penelope, Cappy, and Panda were asleep. Seeing them made Sparkle scream even louder. Boss and the others awoke with a start. "What's happening?! Who's attacking us?!" Boss cried out. "It's ok Boss, it's just Sparkle!" Pashmina said. "We haven't seen you in a while!" Cappy exclaimed. "EEek! Not you freaks!" Sparkle cried. "Why did you run under here? You look pale." Panda said. "I was running from a giant lizard, but don't bother even trying to save me! A star like me can take care of herself!" Sparkle said snobbishly. "You sure you don't need any help?" Boss asked. "Would you just leave me alone?! I'm out of here!" Sparkle said angrily as she walked out from under the tree. "And don't try and follow me! A Super Star doesn't need help!" She suddenly saw the ground lizard standing there, waiting for her. She screamed and hid behind Boss, who was now on his feet. "Eep! Don't let it hurt me!" Sparkle squealed. "Well well! Look who's come crawling back, begging for help!" Boss declared. "So much for a Super Star!" he added. "Just don't let it hurt me!" Sparkle wimpered. "Aw come on Boss. Let's help her." Pashmina said. "Alright, as long as she's learned her lesson!" Boss agreed. Boss stepped towards the ground lizard. The ground lizard approached slowly, then backed off and burrowed underground. "phew! That was a close one!" Cappy sighed in relief. "Why did it just run off like that?" Pashmina asked. "I thought it would try to hurt us!" "They're not stupid. If they can sense that their opponent is stronger than itself, it won't pick a fight with that enemy." Boss told Pashmina. "Could you really defeat that thing?" Cappy asked. "Well, sure!" Boss replied. "Wow!" Cappy said in amazement. "Well Sparkle, it looks like you'll be stuck with us for awhile!" Boss announced. Sparkle groaned. "It looks that way."
"You're a real slow poke, you know that?!" Stan shot out at Icernia, who was trying to leap at Stan with her sword. Icernia swung her sword again and again at Stan, but he kept dodging. Stan kicked her in the stomach, and she fell to the ground, clutching her stomach. "Looks like you've lost your touch sweetheart!" Stan said teasingly. "Sweat heart?!" Icernia growled. "Yo! You have two choices honey! You can either keep on fighting me and totally get pulverised, or you can stop, and go out with good o'l lookin' me!" Stan said smoothly. "I always thought you were a pretty gorgeous ham babe! You know you can't risist a good lookin' guy like me! I mean, i'd totally hate to make you go to waste!" He added. "What's he doing?!" Kenji exclaimed, not knowing about Stan's flirtatious personality. "Oh-no! Stan's flirting! And what makes it worse, he's flirting with the enemy!" Maxwell groaned. "You're good with words." Icernia said to Stan. "Really? You mean that?!" exclaimed Stan. "No." Icernia replied, shooting a blast of ice at the love sick ham. Stan was frozen to the ground. "Aw man! I've really gone to far with my flirting now!" Stan groaned. Icernia approached Stan. "You're such a sappy ham aren't you? Let you know this that your flirting days are over!" Icernia sneered and rose her sword above Stan. "Oh no! Not Stan too!" cried Maxwell. "I can't watch!" Cried Dexter covering his eyes. "What did Stan say to Icernia?" Howdy said outloud. Icernia stopped. "huh?" "He said to her 'You're looking hot tonight babe!' But how can Icernia be hot, if she's ice?! It's in her name after all! ICErnia!" Howdy cried hystarically laughing. Icernia growled. "That's not funny!" Maxwell jumped in. "That's right Howdy! I heard that her heart itself is made of ice! That's why she's so heartless!" "Ice runs in her vains!" Kenji added. Icernia stomped towards them angrily. "You!" she growled. "Maybe she should go back to her home in the snow!" Dexter said. "I see what you mean Partner! Get it? I see, as in icy cold stuff?!" Howdy laughed. The four hams started laughing loudly. Icernia was bubbling in anger now. Maxwell gave Stan the same signal that Hamtaro had taught Stan. Stan shot an arrow at Icernia's back. She screamed in shock and pain. Stan then shot one of his flaming arrows at the net, and burned it apart. "Alright! Way to go Stan!" Maxwell cried happily. "You saved us!" Kenji exclaimed. "What about my jokes? They were somethin' right?!" Howdy said. "I have to admit Howdy, that i've never been happier to hear one of those jokes!" Dexter told him. "Oudely! I should be a comedian!" Howdy declared.
Icernia arose. "You'll pay!" She said angrily and shot a blizzard of ice. "Not this time!" Maxwell announced. "Psychic Star!" Maxwell cried as he shot a phsychic energy in the shape of a star, cutting through Icernia's attack and hitting her. She fell backwards. "Lighting arraows!" Stan shot arrows of lighting, shocking Icernia. She tried to rise, but Maxwell shot her down with another psychic energy blast. "It's over Icernia! You should go back to your village and live peacefully if you know what's good for you. Not within Hamrigan's evil clutches!" Maxwell told Icernia. "It's never over!" Icernia cried angrily. She leapt at Kenji, who quickly grabbed a large stick off the ground and whacked her. She fell backwards injured. "This is foolish! Why live a life of violence and fighting?! You could be living a life of peace and happiness!" Kenji said. "My life lies with Hamrigan." Icernia said. "We help you heal, and you try and destroy us in return! We can see that you're real greatful!" Dexter said angrily. "Try and think back to your previous life Icernia! Think about how much better and happier it was!" Kenji told Icernia. Icernia didn't want to remember, but then she remembered her village of snow, the friendly villagers, and all her friends she played with as a child. It all came back to her like it never had before. "How could have I forgotten?!" She said suddenly. "Does this mean she's on our side?" Dexter asked. "We'll have to wait and see." Kenji replied. Dark storm clouds suddenly began to fill the sky. A dark object loomed above the hamhams. "The dark castle!" Kenji exclaimed. A dark figure floated down from the castle. "What is that?" Dexter cried. Kenji couldn't believe who it was.
Hamtaro and Oxnard were still snoozing peacefully under the small tree they had found. Oxnard yawned and opened his eyes part way. "mmm....are those strom clouds?" he mumbled. Suddenly, he saw someone run by that he knew too well. Oxnard almost screamed, but he covered his mouth in doing so. The ham ran by swiftly, not noticing Oxnard and Hamtaro, who he was searching for. "Was that who I think it was?" Oxnard said trembling. Once the ham was well out of sight, Oxnard shook Hamtaro awake. "Hamtaro! Hamtaro! Wake up! Something's not right! And I saw him!" Oxnard cried frantically. "Stop shaking me Oxnard! What is it?" Hamtaro cried, snapping out of his sleep. "It's all cloudy and it feels weird, like a scary darkness is here! And I saw him! Even though he's dead!" Oxnard said pratically screaming. "Calm down Oxy! Who did you see?" Hamtaro asked. "You won't believe me, but, I saw Hamzar!" Oxnard screamed. "What?! I think you're still half asleep Oxy! Boss destroyed Hamzar, remember? You saw it yourself!" Hamtaro told Oxnard. "But I really saw him Hamtaro! I did!" Oxnard cried. "But then again. It was running pretty fast, and I was still kinda half asleep." Oxnard added sheepishly. "See? Nothing much to worry about. Probably just another one of Hamrigan's dark hams." Hamtaro said. "Ya you're right. it looked too small to be Hamzar anyways. Sorry for waking you up." Oxnard mumbled. "Don't worry about it. It's good to keep alert for enemys. And besides, it's morning now, and with all those dark clouds and evil lurking, we'd better find the others quick before something else does!" Hamtaro announced. "I can feel that evil stuff too. It feels kinda weird." Hamtaro added. "Ya. Let's get moving!" Oxnard said. They set out to find the rest of the hamhams.
"No! Not now! Anytime but now!" Kenji muttered under his breath. "What's the matter. Who is that?" Maxwell asked Kenji. "Aw calm down! I'm sure this thing can't be as bad as that Hamrigan guy!" Howdy said. "No! You don't understand! That thing IS Hamrigan." Kenji told the hamhams. "You're joking, right?" Howdy said. Kenji shook his head. "The most feared and most powerful being of the hamham world is here. Without Hamtaro or Boss, we won't even stand the slightest bit of a chance!" Kenji cried. "Even with those two, we still wouldn't stand much of a chance. We haven't had enough fighting experience yet!" He added. Hamrigan loomed over Icernia. "So! Another failure and another traitor! I will not put up with this any longer!" Hamrigan boomed. "No! it's not like that at all my lord!" Icernia said with fear in her voice. "Please forgive me my lord!" Icernia began. "Silence! Your life ends here!" Hamrigan boomed. A long arm with red sharp claws was struck out at Icernia. The claws sunk into Icernia's chest. Hamrigan picked Icernia up, and tightened his grip on her. She screamed in pain as dark energy shocked her body, and with that, the last of Hamrigan's powerful elemental trio disappeared to the death realm. The hamhams gasped at what Hamrigan did to Icernia. "That's it! We're totally done!"Stan cried. "And just when she was starting to turn around." Kenji said sadly. "Hamtaro was right. She really had a chance." Hamrigan turned towards the hamhams. "And now for you! It is time to dispose of you once and for all!" Hamrigan declared. "What do we do Kenji?" Dexter asked. Kenji was unsure. "I don't know. All I know is that I wish Hamtaro was here right now."

"No! Not now! Anytime but now!" Kenji muttered under his breath. "What's the matter. Who is that?" Maxwell asked Kenji. "Aw calm down! I'm sure this thing can't be as bad as that Hamrigan guy!" Howdy said. "No! You don't understand! That thing IS Hamrigan." Kenji told the hamhams. "You're joking, right?" Howdy said. Kenji shook his head. "The most feared and most powerful being of the hamham world is here. Without Hamtaro or Boss, we won't even stand the slightest bit of a chance!" Kenji cried. "Even with those two, we still wouldn't stand much of a chance. We haven't had enough fighting experience yet!" He added. Hamrigan loomed over Icernia. "So! Another failure and another traitor! I will not put up with this any longer!" Hamrigan boomed. "No! it's not like that at all my lord!" Icernia said with fear in her voice. "Please forgive me my lord!" Icernia began. "Silence! Your life ends here!" Hamrigan boomed. A long arm with red sharp claws was struck out at Icernia. The claws sunk into Icernia's chest. Hamrigan picked Icernia up, and tightened his grip on her. She screamed in pain as dark energy shocked her body, and with that, the last of Hamrigan's powerful elemental trio disappeared to the death realm. The hamhams gasped at what Hamrigan did to Icernia. "That's it! We're totally done!"Stan cried. "And just when she was starting to turn around." Kenji said sadly. "Hamtaro was right. She really had a chance." Hamrigan turned towards the hamhams. "And now for you! It is time to dispose of you once and for all!" Hamrigan declared. "What do we do Kenji?" Dexter asked. Kenji was unsure. "I don't know. All I know is that I wish Hamtaro was here right now."
