Down in the underground, Tzekel Kan and his circus crew made their way through in the dark, carrying La Fidele with them.
"It won't be long now" Tzekel Kan said.
But then, La Fidele began to float over them.
"Oh, mon Dieu!" screamed Le Frog.
Tzekel Kan was enraged until...
"Yes!" shouted a voice.
"Shh!" said another.
Tzekel Kan shined his light over to the wall where Lu-La's ears were levitating La Fidele.
Since the light blinded her, Lu-La lost her concentration and the bell dropped back onto the wagon unharmed.
"Uh?" groaned the little alien.
"You won't get away with this!" shouted Chip.
The henchfrogs pounced on Lu-La and the teacup but the alien was too strong for them and she ran away.
Tzekel Kan then picked up Chip by the handle and chuckled fiendishly.
Meanwhile in the Palace of Justice...
"Captain, the city is secured, but there is no sign of Tzekel Kan" said a guard.
"Then we have to look further!" Rocky said.
But at that moment...
"Rocky!" cried Ginger.
Spike and Timmy arrived with Cholena and Ginger.
"It's Chip" Spike said anxiously. "He's gone after Tzekel Kan!"
"I've got men all over the city" promised Rocky. "We'll find him."
"You're looking in all the wrong places" Cholena said. "Tzekel Kan has made a living from illusion, but I can outsmart him."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Rocky.
"It's the same as the disappearing elephant. Th-There was always a tunnel under the stage. He's taken the bell underground."
Ginger then realized something.
"The catacombs" she said. "He could be using the catacombs."
"But if we go underground, he will slip right out of town" argued Rocky
"Listen to me. Our friend's life is at stake. Maybe you should look again like you did with me."
Rocky still wasn't sure if he could trust Cholena but he knew that they had to stop Tzekel Kan with Cholena's help.
And with that, Rocky agreed to let Cholena come along.
Excited, Timmy placed the chickens and Spike on his back with Cholena and went toward the catacombs.
