Rebecca said, "What have you done with our pals?" The witch doctor grins slyly. "Why, nothing, Honey, nothing at all. Nor will we if you hand us over that pretty little diamond." The bat seated on his shoulder chitters a bit. "A small bargain, my dear," Medusa notes. "The Devil's Eye for your friends' safety."
The group glare at them angrily. "Never, you fiends!" Rebecca exclaims. "You'll never get this diamond and you won't harm our friends or anyone else!"
The villains glower at them. "Very well," Medusa hisses. "If this is how you want to play, then we'll take it from you by force!"
"You'll have to catch us first!" Mojo exclaims as the group quickly take to their heels.
Medusa snarls, "Catch them! Stop them before they get away with the diamond!"
You remind me of a man,
(What man?)
Ohh, the man with the power,
(What power?)
Say, the power of voodoo,
(Who do?)
Yeah, you do, you do,
(Do what?)
You remind me of a man,
(What man?)
Ohh, the man with the power,
(What power?)
Say, the power of voodoo,
(Who do?)
Yeah, you do, you do,
(Do what?)
The group dash through the corridors, hopping overs rocks and splashing through water, with the villains in hot pursuit. Glancing over his shoulder, Arturo gulps audibly as his heart begins to pound.
We could take 'em out of this wreck,
Save us from the man with the hex,
Save us from his evil curse,
It's gonna get bad, yeah, it's gonna get worse,
Hocus Pocus, Alakazam,
Save us from that evil man
With hairy legs and heavy feet,
He cracks up, baby, as he creeks,
Out of the corner of her eye, Rebecca spies the corridor the group had gone through on their way in. Hoping to lose the bad guys, she and her friends quickly make a beeline for it. While hurrying through the darkened corridors, Arturo hears the sound of low grumbling behind him and whips around to see the alligators rapidly approaching them. His eyes grow large. "Oh gosh, oh gosh, ohh gosh!"
As one of the alligators tries to take a bite of Arturo, Blossom swoops down and scoops him away from the beast's jaws in the nick of time. The smallest Gang Green Gang member mops his brow and breathes a sigh of relief. "Ohh, muy muchas gracias, Senorita Blossom." he says gratefully. The pink Powerpuff smiles. "You're quite welcome, friend."
You remind me of a man, (What man?)
Ohh, the man with the power, (What power?)

Yeah, you do, you do, (Do what?)
You remind me of a man, (What man?)
Ohh, the man with the power, (What power?)

Yeah, you do, you do, (Do what?)
The group rush to the end of a ledge, observing cascades of water pouring down through several wide trenches. As the bad guys draw near, the friends gasp and lose their footing, ultimately falling into the water and washing downhill; the bad guys soon follow suit and go careening down after them.
Save us, save us,
(Save us, save us,)
Save us, sa-ave us!
(Save us, sa-ave us!)
Save us, save us,
(Save us, save us,)
Save us, sa-ave us!
(Save us, sa-ave us!)
The group soon reach the bottom. Quickly brushing themselves off, they then take off again.
We could take 'em out of this wreck,
Save us from the man with the hex
With buggy eyes and a bulgy neck,
Save us from the man with the hex
As the crooks chase the friends through a small stream, Blossom is suddenly struck with an idea. Taking a deep breath, she gives a puff of ice breath toward their feet, freezing them where they stand. "Ack!" Medusa exclaims in shock.
"What trickery is this?!" the witch doctor snarls. The alligators growl with perplexity.
"Ha, ha," Buttercup laughs. "So long, guys. ICE to see ya!" She and her friends share a laugh over this as they hurry up the pathway toward the mouth of the cave.
"This isn't over, fools!" Medusa shrieks, shaking her fist in the air. "We WILL have that diamond and YOU'RE the ones who will be sorry!"
Ohh, save us, save us,
(Save us, save us,)
Save us, sa-ave us!
(Save us, sa-ave us!)
Save us, save us,
(Save us, save us,)
Save us, sa-ave us
Save us from the man with the hex!
From outside, the professor, April, Deanna, and the others wait by the cave's entrance, very worried for their friends. Just then, they hear seven familiar voices calling, "Hey, guys!" upon which they see their friends climbing up to them with June lighting their way. "Huh boy," Buttercup breathes, mopping her brow. "I wouldn't mind doing that again, now that I know you can live through it!"
Professor Utonium asked, "Is everyone alright?"
Mojo nodded, "Yes, alive and in one piece. We've managed to find the diamond. Behold: The Devil's Eye!" He held up the diamond for all to see, which made everyone look in awe, "Ooh..."
Just then, the group hears sad whimpering coming from close by, upon which they turn to see the two large alligators sitting woefully by the side of the bayou, each with a thorn stuck in their paw and fat tears running down their cheeks. The group exchange worried looks. "Oh, the poor little things!" April says.
"Medusssa and Ssssnively mussst have abandoned them." Snake notes.
Rebecca then traipses up to the two alligators, takes a pair of tweezers out of her purse, and gently pulls the splinters out. She then gently dabs their paws with a little disinfectant on a cotton ball and gives them each a bandaid. "There, there, little friends," she says consolingly as she gently strokes their heads. "You'll be okay now."
The large reptiles smile and beam happily; they growl a thank you, then begin to gently lick Rebecca's face, causing her to merrily laugh. "Oh, you're quite welcome, Sweeties." The group beam happily at this sweet scene. "Awww!"
Fitz came over to the gators and talked to them, then Blossom asked, "What did they say, Fitz?"
"They say that they would like to come with us," the large alligator replies. "They don't like living with Medusa and Snively; they're just too mean."Rebecca gently pets the alligator's snouts. "Well, you are more than welcome to stay with us, Sweeties."
Bubbles talked to the gators and said, "They said that their names are Brutus and Cleo."
Mojo said, "Oh, these two might be brother and sister." The gators coo happily as they gently lick the blue Powerpuff's face. "Tee hee!" she giggles. "Gator kisses are cute!"
Just then, the group hear a frightened screeching out in the swamp, upon which they turn to see the witch doctor's pet bat stuck in the mud. The group exchange more worried looks. "Oh dear!" April notes as she rushes up to the bat, scoops her up and tidies her up with a small wet nap. The bat chitters sadly to the group as two large tears trickle down her furry black cheeks. Bubbles translates, "She says her names Maggie and she got lost when the crooks ran away and they never came back for her."
"Ohh, dat's so mean!" Billy says sadly.
An angry look crosses Ace's face as he pounds his fists together. "Boy howdy, when I get my hands on them crooks I'll give 'em what for!" Deanna throws a couple of punches into the air. "Yeah!"
April gently pets Maggie's furry little head and dabs her tears away. "There, there, little one, don't cry. You can stay with us now."
"We won'tsssss never leave yousssss behind." Snake adds softly. Now feeling much happier, the little bat squeaks happily and gently nuzzles April's chin.
Mojo said, "We need to find a way to trap our crooks and turn them in. How did they find us in the first place?"
Arturo said, "The witch doctor gave them some potion to find us, while Maggie was their little lackey. Now that she's on our side, we might be able to get our criminals." Maggie chitters the location of the crooks to Bubbles, who then translates the answer to the others. "She says they're hiding in the woods, waiting to sneak after us and steal the diamond!"
Mojo rubs his chin. "Hmm, perhaps we'll need a trap to capture, apprehend, and bring them to justice."With a sly smile, he said, "And I think I know how to do it."
