As you remember last time, our heroes won a trip to Shanghai, China and unknown to them, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale were on their way to deliver a stolen golden cat statue to their boss, Fearless Leader. However, after a little mix up at the airport, Sherman ended up with the statue. Boris and Natasha captured our heroes and the statue and they brought them back to the building Fearless Leader was at.
Peabody finally woke up from his coma and woke up to see something.
"W-where am I?" Peabody asked.
He turned around to see that he and his friends were tied to chairs and in front them were...guess who?
"BORIS BADENOV AND NATASHA FATALE!" They shouted.
"Why is it that everywhere we go, they show up?" Rocky asked.
"SILENCE!" Fearless Leader exclaimed "We have the statue and we finally have moose and squirrel and friends!"
"Statue?" Bullwinkle asked "What statue?"
"The Golden Cat Statue!" Natasha showed them the statue "We were sent by Fearless Leader to steal it and bring it here."
"Oh and by the way boy, this is yours." Boris threw Sherman his suitcase.
"Why do you want this statue anyways?" Rocky asked.
"I'm glad you asked." Fearless Leader said "This statue is the key to the treasure of Fu-Tsang-Lung. Fu-Tsang-Lung, a dragon, is the hidden treasure's guardian and the cat statue can lead to an underground cavern where Fu-Tsang-Lung keeps his most valuable treasure, which is a diamond, said to be the biggest of all time."
"The Fu-Tsang Lung treasure thing is just a legend, your time is being wasted." Mr. Peabody stated.
"IT IS REAL!" Fearless Leader shouted "And it will be the sole propety of Pottsylvania! Badenov! Fatale! You throw moose, squirrel, and friends into closet while I try to find the key!"
"No problem Fearless Leader." Boris and Natasha threw our heroes into the storage closet and barred the door with a broom.
"We finally did it Boris!" Natasha grabbed her partner "We finally caught moose and squirrel!"
"Just like I planned." Boris tapped his head.
MEANWHILE...
Inside the closet, our heroes were trying to think of a way to escape and get the statue back.
"We can't let Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader get the statue Mr. Peabody." Sherman said to his master.
"That's right Sherman we can't." Mr. Peabody told Sherman "Which is why I have conducted a master plan to escape."
"What is it?" Bullwinkle asked.
"It's quite simple really, by measuring the length of the broom stick times the square root of pi, I can bang on the door so the broom will fall down and we can escape." Peabody explained "First, let me chew these ropes out."
Peabody chewed the ropes and he was free from his ropes. Next, he untied his friends as well. Finally, Mr. Peabody banged on the door as hard as he could and the broom fell right off. Peabody turned the door knob and they were free.
"Not bad Peabody." Peabody smirked.
"First we need to get the statue back." Jessica said.
"But how?" Rocky asked.
"Don't worry Rocky, I have a plan." Peabody said.
After Mr. Peabody told them his plan, Bullwinkle snuck out of the closet and grabbed the statue when those fiends were arguing about the map. Just then, Boris turned around to see Bullwinkle with the statue.
"Fearless Leader!" Boris grunted.
"What is it Badenov?" Fearless Leader asked.
"MOOSE IS LOOSE!" He yelled.
"WHAT?!" Fearless Leader shouted "GET HIM!"
With no hesitation, Boris and Natasha ran to seize Rocky and our heroes. Of course, Peabody, being the super intelligent canine he is, took Jessica and Sherman out to the elevator where the conveniently escaped to the lobby.
"What about Uncle Rocky and Bullwinkle?" Sherman asked.
"Don't worry Sherman. I built this is my spare time." Peabody showed off a purple watch with a screen.
"What is it Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked.
"Well Sherman, it is a video watch." Peabody explained to his boy "It can communicate with anybody else within 8000 miles, not to mention it has 3 premium digital cable channels."
"How come I don't have one?" Sherman asked.
"I never got round to making you one." Peabody turned on his watch and Rocky came up on the screen.
"Mr. Peabody!" Rocky said while trying to dodge Natasha and Boris. "Where are you guys?"
"We are in the lobby Rocky!" Peabody said "We have found a mode of transportation. You and Bullwinkle jump down the window and meet us in the front."
"It's a good thing I can fly." Rocky dodged Natasha again and grabbed Bullwinkle who was holding the statue.
"Rocky!" Bullwinkle said "What're you doing?"
"We're getting down!" Rocky flew him and Bullwinkle out of the window and they zoomed down the front of the skyscraper where they landed into a rickshaw bicycle that Jessica was driving.
"What is this doohickey?" Bullwinkle asked Peabody.
"It's a rickshaw bike Bullwinkle." Peabody said "We found it nearby. It's a Chinese form of transportation."
"Why is Jessica driving Mr. Peabody?" Sherman asked.
"Because Sherman, she's the only one who is tall enough to reach the pedals." Peabody explained. "Plus, she has to keep herself in shape."
Wasting no time, Jessica pedaled as fast as she could. Bullwinkle looked under his seat and saw some strange looking fruits.
"Hey what're these?" Bullwinkle asked "Stink bombs?"
"No Bullwinkle." Peabody said "They are Durians. They may look like spike balls, but they make a great treatment for your skin. Maybe I should "
"Hokey smoke gang!" Rocky exclaimed "Looks like we've got company!"
Everyone turned around to see that Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader were right on their tails on another bike.
"Faster Natasha faster!" Boris called out to his sultry partner who was pedaling the bike. "We have to get moose, squirrel, dog, boy, and girl!"
Rocky had thought of something "Throw the spiky things at them Sherman. That'll throw them off track!"
"Okay Rocky." Sherman threw the spiky things at Natasha and they hit her right in the head.
The Durians kept hitting Natasha and she lost her control of the vehicle and she and those fiends crashed right into a stand.
"See ya!" Rocky gloated.
Finally, our heroes made it back to the hotel and got settled in and ready for bed. Mr. Peabody, Rocky, and Bullwinkle were wearing just night hats, Sherman was wearing blue pajamas, and Jessica was wearing a silky pink nightgown.
"Okay gang," Rocky said "We'll figure out what to do with the statue in the morning. Right now, we gotta get ready for bed."
Just then, as our heroes were about to get to sleep, something happened; the cat statues eyes began to glow.
"Hokey smoke!" Rocky exclaimed as he saw the statue.
"It is cursed!" Bullwinkle panicked "Run for lives!"
"Hold it Bullwinkle!" Peabody grabbed the moose's arm "This could be important."
The eyes projected a viewing image of a tiger and some Chinese writing.
"Look at that Mr. Peabody!" Sherman gasped.
"Anybody know what this says?" Jessica asked.
"One of the eight languages I speak fluently is Chinese, I will be able to interpret this inscription." Peabody read the inscription "First half of the key to the treasure of Fu Tsang Lang is in the Suzhou Gardens. Find a match and you will find the first half."
"Find a match?" Bullwinkle asked "I didn't know we were playing Old Maid."
"No Bullwinkle, it's some sort of riddle and/or metaphor." Jessica said "The only thing we need to do to figure it out, is to go to the Suzhou Gardens."
"Right!" Peabody said. "We leave for the Suzhou Gardens in the morning."
"Got it!" Everyone said.
Rocky, Bullwinkle, and Mr. Peabody got to the bed they were sleeping on and Sherman went onto the ned he was sleeping on.
"Goodnight Sherman." Jessica tucked Sherman into bed and kissed his cheek.
"Night Jessica. I love you." Sherman took his glasses off.
"I love you too." She went to her bed.
"Remember to get up bright and early gang." Peabody said.
"Yes Mr. Peabody." Everyone went to sleep.
Little did our heroes know that out the window, Boris and Natasha were watching their every move.
"Fearless Leader!" Natasha spoke into a video phone "Moose and squirrel and friends are going to Suzhou Gardens tomorrow for first part of treasure."
"Well make sure you steal the first half from them." Fearless Leader said "Be ready for the mission."
"Right." Boris said "We'll be ready by the next chapter."
"And next chapter better be here soon." Fearless Leader said.
