Since it is Valentine's Day, I'd figured I'd wrap this crossover up before the day is over.
Rocky was on Toby's back when he entered the circus again and searched everywhere.
It wasn't until Rocky found Tzekel Kan's dressing room.
"Open up!" said the rooster, knocking on the door. "This is the captain of the guard."
The acolyte opened the door and let Rocky in.
"Captain!" greeted Tzekel Kan.
Without the much of a friendly hello, Rocky hopped onto the wooden counter.
"I'm here about a rash of robberies" he said sternly.
"A rash?" asked Tzekel Kan in a mocking manner. "I find a little soothing lotion does wonders for the complexion."
"I'm talking about thefts in town."
Tzekel Kan acted like everything was normal and hid the box of jewels from Rocky's eyes.
"Well, we've had nothing go missing..." he lied.
"My investigation leads me here" Rocky said, holding the necklace Spike found earlier.
Tzekel Kan was shocked that Rocky found the circus' treasure trove and quickly thought up a lie to save his back.
"It's true, Captain" Tzekel Kan said to the rooster.
"You're... You're confessing?" frowned Rocky.
"Absolutely. She's my responsibility. She's been a thief since she was six. I thought I could break her of it if I gave her a job... a place to call home."
"Who?"
"Cholena."
"Cholena? Where is she?"
"Gone. She and the rat are strolling about the town."
Rocky thought it over.
Spike has to know he thought to himself. Love has really gone through his head.
"Thank you" Rocky said as he turned to leave. "I'll let you get back to your self."
As soon as the rooster left, Tzekel Kan grinned evilly and chuckled.
"I make the heist of the century..." he sneered. "while the mouse leads the rat and the captain away."
Later that day, the circus was slowing down and the directions were being taken down.
Timmy, Chip and Lu-La were playing with Spike's models while Mrs. Potts was warming up for dinner.
"Where do you think Spike is, Mama?" asked Chip.
"I'm sure he's off with Cholena" replied the teapot.
"Yuck!"
"Oh, come on. Love isn't all that bad."
Downstairs, Bobnar noticed Tzekel Kan approaching the stairway to the bell tower.
"Oi, you!" called the archdeacon. "Stay away from-"
But Tzekel Kan knocked Bobnar unconscious and continued his way up the stairs.
Hearing this, Mrs. Potts gasped.
Timmy bleated wildly and took Chip toward the bells while Lu-La lifted Mrs. Potts with her levitation powers.
Once Tzekel Kan reached the top of the stairs.
"Aren't they from the circus?" whispered Chip.
But Lu-La covered Chip's mouth to prevent him from making more noises.
Tzekel Kan searched all around the bell tower for La Fidele, but he believed Cholena lied to him.
"That little savage vermin!" he growled. "Wait until I..."
But then, he noticed the gems shining at the top.
The magician looked inside the bell and saw all the jewels that placed. He was rich.
"Oh! He's stealing La Fidele!" gasped Mrs. Potts.
"No!" Chip hissed.
Lu-La and Timmy realized that had to do something.
The alien made a brick rise from the floor and tried to drop it on Tzekel Kan, but she missed.
Timmy then kicked a bell with his hind legs, making a loud, echoing ring!
It alerted Tzekel Kan and he started to chant magic words to make La Fidele disappear into thin air.
The small lamb continued to kick the bell.
"That's it, Timmy!" shouted Chip.
"Alert the city!" Mrs. Potts encouraged.
Outside Notre Dame, Spike, Cholena and Ginger heard the bell ringing.
"Aah!" yelped Spike. "Something's wrong."
"We have to hurry!" shouted Cholena, running ahead.
Spike and Ginger ran after her, worried.
In the town square, Rocky and his guards were searching for Cholena when they heard the bell ringing and they ran for Notre Dame.
The city of Paris gathered as Bobnar rose to his feet and opened the door.
"La Fidele is gone!" he shouted. "The bell has been stolen!"
The crowd gasped in shock and horror.
Bonejangles sprang up to the steps of the cathedral.
"We must find her!" he insisted. "Or the festival will be ruined for all of us!"
Cheering loudly, some of the townspeople and gypsies went with Bonejangles to find La Fidele.
"Seal off the city!" ordered Rocky. "Every street, every river, every alley!"
The guards rode on their horses, following their captain's orders.
"But they can't get away with a bell that size" panicked Babs.
"Of course they can!" Bunty snapped. "They're called thieves!"
Rocky was now angrier than ever. He knew who could have stolen La Fidele.
"Tzekel Kan" seethed Rocky. "How could I be such a fool?"
As soon as Spike, Ginger and Cholena reached Notre Dame, they knew it was too late.
"Spike, I'm sorry" Cholena said timidly. "I didn't want to hurt you."
"H-How long did...?" Spike began to ask.
"Tzekel Kan used me to get you away from here. But I didn't lie about what I said last night. You are my friend."
Spike could tell that Cholena was just like him; a victim of a hellish demon who treats a child like a slave.
But instead of getting mad at Cholena, he gently took her paw.
"We'll get through this" he said. "Together."
And just when they were heading into Notre Dame, Rocky stepped in.
"What are you doing?!" the rooster asked.
"We were jumping to conclusions" Spike replied, passing by him.
Ginger then approached Rocky.
"Cholena was an orphan like Spike, but she has suffered more abuse than Spike ever had" she said.
"Are you sure we can trust this mouse?" Rocky frowned.
"Trust me, I've already seen the real her that helps Spike. And we should too."
The rooster thought it over, then sighed. He knew that his wife was right.
Spike brought Cholena to the bell tower, where they heard voices.
Timmy and Mrs. Potts approached them, panicking.
"Wait, one at a time" Spike said.
"It's Chip!" Mrs. Potts cried. "Timmy rang the bell to alert the city but he and Lu-La have left."
Spike was furious. Sure, he didn't like Chip's disobeience but he didn't want anything to happen to his 'little brother.'
"He must have gone after Tzekel Kan" whimpered Cholena.
"No matter" snarled Spike. "I'm not gonna lose him like I did with Lumiere and Cogsworth."
"Who are they?"
"It's... It's a long story. I'll explain later. C'mon, Timmy!"
The lamb bleated and Cholena jumped on his back as he ran down the stairs.
Spike grabbed his corkscrew and swung down Notre Dame to find Chip.
