Pippi Meets Her Old Enemies
Sweden: Prison
At a prison, in the cafeteria, the inmates were talking and arguing with each other.
Some of these inmates were the whale poachers from back then, the captain, Nero, and his two lackeys, Bob and Sheldon.
The whale poachers were eating, when the Crime Brothers, Don and Jim, joined them.
The whale poachers are grumbling about something and the Crime Brothers take notice.
"Hey! What's bothering you?" Don asked.
"Oh nothing, we were just remembering how our whale poaching plan was foiled by a redheaded girl." Nero said.
"Redheaded? Did she also have pigtails?" Biff asked.
"Yes, she tricked us into going towards an ambush by pirates, then our ship crashed into an iceberg, and we were left to be arrested." Bob said.
"She makes me so mad… I wanna sink her!" Sheldon said.
"Well, we're wanted criminals." Don said. "We got word of her gold and we wanted to steal them."
"But she outsmarted us each time, and we were eventually arrested." Biff said.
Then, the two villain groups were joined by Professor Footprint, Captain Seeker, Dr. Bubbles, Jim, Buck, and Phillip Gunner.
Each of the villains talked about how Pippi and her friends had foiled their plans.
"I think we can all agree that Pippi Longstocking is responsible for ruining our lives." Professor Footprint said, and the other villains agreed.
Then, they were confronted by a jailer, who turned out to be the corrupt official from the national ski championships.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. But I would like to ask that you come with me to somewhere more private." the official said.
In an empty room, the official and the villains gathered.
"You see, I am like you, I was wronged by that no-good Pippi Longstocking." the official said.
"Oh yeah, what did she do wrong to a jailer such as you?" Captain Seeker asked.
"The name's Jyst. I was once a proud official of the national ski championships, but I lost that job thanks to Pippi Longstocking and I am the lowly jailer here and now." the official replied.
"Hah, what are the odds that we all have a grudge against that girl?" Dr. Bubbles said.
"When we get outta here, I wanna take revenge on her for getting me thrown here in the first place." Jim said.
"Well, why don't I help you? I long for a chance to get back at that girl, even if I won't be there to see it happen." Jyst said. "Alright, let's discuss a plan."
Jyst and the villains began discussing of a plan to escape.
Later that night, as a jailer came around the cells, the villains took out a smoke bomb that they got with the help of Jyst, and let it out, causing a smoke that obscured the halls and rendered the security cameras unable to see.
During the confusion, Jyst came around and secretly unlocked the cells of the villains.
The villains escaped while Jyst snuck away, and by the time the smoke cleared, they already fled.
Outside the prison, the villains successfully escaped.
"Perfect, now that we're out of that place, we need a new plan and a way to get to where Pippi Longstocking lives." Buck said.
Village: Villa Villekulla
At Villa Villekulla, Pippi was climbing one of her favorite climbing trees, when Tommy and Annika came around with a newspaper.
"Hiya, you two." Pippi said. "What's with the newspaper?"
"Some major news." Tommy said.
"There was a prison break last night at some prison." Annika said. "Several bad people were reported to have escaped."
"Well that's bad." Pippi said. "I sure hope they don't come around here."
"And look, they're all the bad guys that you met before." Tommy said as he showed Pippi the page with the villains' mugshots.
"By the way, where's Calissa?" Annika asked.
"Oh, she went to visit her mom at sea." Pippi replied. "She said she won't be back for a while."
Town: Empty shack
At an empty shack in town, the villains were gathered to plan out their revenge.
"Alright, as of now we'll be known as the Pippi Longstocking Elimination Alliance, otherwise known as PLEA." Phillip Gunner said.
Village: Villa Villekulla
Later at Villa Villekulla, Pippi received a letter from an unknown sender.
It was an invitation to a scavenger hunt, and it required five things: a stuffed whale, a gold coin, a yeti costume, a pearl, and a net.
"Well, two of these things I have so scratch them off." Pippi said. "Now let's go look for the rest of these things."
Pippi went back into her house and came out with a gold coin and a pearl from Kurrekurredutt.
Then, Pippi, Tommy, and Annika went into town to look for the remaining three items.
Along the way, they met Willie and Anna.
"Hi guys." Willie said.
"What are you doing?" Anna asked.
"We're on a scavenger hunt." Pippi replied. "We already have two things, now we just need three. You two are welcome to join us."
Willie and Anna joined Pippi, Tommy, and Annika in their scavenger hunt.
Town: Marketplace
At the marketplace, Pippi and her friends found an item on the list: a net.
"There we go. One net." Pippi said. "Three down, two to go."
But then, Pippi, Willie, and Anna realized that Tommy and Annika were missing.
"Hey, where are Tommy and Annika?" Willie asked.
"I don't know, perhaps they had to go home." Pippi suggested.
Town: Town square
At the town square, Pippi and her friends found another item on the list: a stuffed whale.
"Four down, one to go." Pippi said. "This is quite easier than I thought it would be, don't you think so, Willie?"
But Willie was nowhere to be found.
"That's weird. Now Willie is gone as well." Pippi said.
"I wonder why everyone's disappearing today." Anna said.
Village: Woods
At the woods, Pippi and Anna found the last item on the list: a yeti costume.
As Anna was about to speak, a shadowy figure reached out, grabbed Anna, and took her away before she could say anything.
"Here we go. The last item on the list." Pippi said. "This is an odd combination of items, don't you think, Anna?"
Pippi then realized that Anna was gone as well.
"Wow, do people disappear like this on other scavenger hunts as well?" Pippi asked.
And then, Pippi noticed there was a footnote at the bottom of the list.
"P.S. After you find everything on the list, come to the harbor for a surprise." the footnote read.
Village: Harbor
Pippi came to the harbor for her surprise, and then, the whale poachers, the Crime Brothers, Professor Footprint, and Phillip Gunner revealed themselves.
"Well, hello again." Pippi said. "Are you the ones who sent me the letter about the scavenger hunt?" Pippi asked.
"Yes." Nero replied.
"Well, it was fun and all, but what is the surprise you wrote about?" Pippi asked.
"Oh, we'll show you." Don said.
Captain Seeker, Dr. Bubbles, Jim, and Buck revealed themselves, and they had Tommy, Annika, Willie, and Anna as hostages.
"Well, that wasn't a very nice surprise." Pippi said. "Kidnapping my friends while I just wanted to enjoy a fun game with them."
"Enough!" Professor Footprint said. "Now, what will it be? You or your friends?"
"No! Don't do it, Pippi!" Annika said, but she was quickly silenced.
Pippi kept on thinking, and then she spoke up.
"Okay, I want my friends back, please." Pippi said.
"Smart choice." Phillip Gunner said. "Now, you better comply with us or your friends get it."
Pippi was restrained with rope, and she didn't put up any resistance.
"Ha! Pippi will break out of that rope easily!" Tommy said, but Pippi couldn't break free.
"This rope was made from my special nets." Phillip Gunner said. "The rope is sapping her strength, so she can't break free."
"Now, board that ship!" Buck ordered. "We're taking you a faraway island where you'll never bother us again."
As Pippi got onboard, the villains all joined her on the ship, and Pippi was covered with a tarp.
"I suggest you say goodbye kids, because this is the last time you'll see Pippi again." Captain Seeker said.
Tommy, Annika, Willie, and Anna could only stare in shock as the ship departed, taking Pippi along with it.
