All was quiet around the world. For reasons unknown except to a few, all the humans have just fell to unconsciousness, thus the usual hustle and bustle of their modern society suddenly gone silent. This includes all forms of public transportation. All except one. Norfolk Virginia, home to one of the largest naval base in the world, as well as a modest size airport, and currently the only airport still in operation. How can this be, is a mystery on to itself.
"Well we're here," Scooby announced pulling into the airport parking lot.
"Say how come this place is still operating?" Chip asked. "The humans shouldn't even be up after the pulse."
"Maybe they have some good coffee?" Dale blurted out.
"Who says it's humans working in there," Buck said cryptically as he led them into the airport. Inside they found all the humans still sleeping on either chairs or on their luggage, including the airport staff. Buck guided his team to the central command where Scooby, Chip, and Dale where shocked to see that everything was being run by Hamsters.
"RATS!" Scooby growled giving in to his canine instincts.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!" Buck scolded slapping the big dog. "I won't allow any insubordination in my unit. Got it!" Buck warned, his eyes becoming blood shot red and almost popping out.
"Got it," Scooby whimpered. Scooby has faced some scary monsters in his time, but this penguin here is proving to be the scariest by far.
"Sorry about my friend here," Buck apologized to one of the Hamster with sunglasses. Judging by his position and the name tag that said Hamster 1, they can assume that he's in charge.
"Yes, you need to keep a better leash on him," Hamster 1 lectured. "So let me guess, you need a ride on a very important mission," he figured.
"You know me all to well Hamster 1," Buck chuckled.
"But what is going on here? Why are Hamsters running everything?" Chip asked.
"Chipmunk, we are the Hamsters Next Door, the H.N.D. for short. We do the jobs that humans can't." the other hamsters boasted.
"But you guys can actually fly human planes?" Dale asked clearly impressed with them.
"Of course, who do you think flies the planes when they are put on autopilot? The computers? Humans aren't smart enough to make planes that fly themselves." the hamsters laughed.
"Yes my friends, all autopilots are actually us hamsters in hidden cockpits inside every plane. And because all the humans decided to take a nap on us, we've been trying to land them all safely." Hamster 1 explained.
"How come we never found out about this?" Chip complained. As a Rescue Ranger he always wanted to stay on top of everything that's going around in the animal kingdom, and to see something as big as this operation slip pass right under his nose is a real blow to his pride.
"Because we have our own plane and don't often go to the airport," Dale threw in there.
"Good point," Chip admitted.
"So what brings you here?" Hamster 1 asked.
"We need a ride to Europe, can you hook us up?" Buck demanded.
"A flight to Europe?" the hamster laughed. "Buck, it's taking all of our resources just to keep the birds already in the air to keep from crashing! I can't risk sending another plane into the air just yet." Hamster 1argued. "Come back here tomorrow and I should have something available."
"Listen here hippy, I have good authority that the perks responsible for what happen to the humans are in Europe now as we speak. Now catching him is our best chances of saving the humans, and the longer we delay, the more chances that he'll escape." Buck argued.
The Hamster contemplated this for a minute. True sending a plane up right now is very risky, but in the off chance that they can revive the humans, it might be worth the risk. "Alright, if you go to hanger 13, you'll find Hamster 2 there. He's the only pilot I can spare." the chief hamster decided.
"Thank you," Buck said as he guided his team out of the office.
"Hamster 5, keep one of runway clear for when Hamster 2 is ready to take off." the chief hamster instructed this one hamster with a blue shirt and red hat.
"Done and done," Hamster 5 confirmed.
Meanwhile at the front desk. "I'm sorry, but all flights have been canceled," this hamster with a green shirt and a name tag that said Hamster 3 tried to explain to the passengers.
"But it is imperative we get to Paris right a way! It is a matter of national security!" Brain insisted with Bullet hovering behind him.
"And I have tickets!" Courage complained waving his printout.
"Well I'm sorry but no flights mean no flights until tomorrow. Except for the special flight to Europe for our vipie guests." Hamster 3 informed them checking her computer.
"Oh well, I guess we just have to wait till tomorrow," Courage said to his companions.
Zebra Donkey neighed sadly in agreement, but Masked Dog jumped onto the counter. "Excuse my boldness my lovely senorita, but my perhaps you squeeze us into that special flight? Pretty please." Masked Dog said in his best debonair voice. Causing everyone in the airport to roll their eyes.
"Well since you asked so nicely," Hamster 3 blushed. Typing on her computer she made the arrangements. "There, you just need to get to hanger 13. The plane will leave as soon as they fix it." she informed them.
"Hanger 13? As soon as they fix it? Anyone else getting second thoughts about this?" Courage gulped.
"Remember you are doing this for Muriel," Zebra Donkey reminded him.
"Doing it for Muriel, doing it for Muriel," Courage kept chanting over and over again. The group made their way through the airport until they reached hanger 13. Inside they found a plane(?) that looks like it was put together in a junkyard. In fact the main body looked like the wreck of an old school bus, the wings were taped together, and engines were made from garbage cans. "What a piece of junk," Courage commented. "I have a real bad feeling about this."
"Who's there?" Buck demanded seeing the intruders, especially one in particular. "The Red Squirrel! We've been ambushed!" Buck yelled pointing at Bullet.
"Red Squirrel, what, me?" Bullet feeling confused. Even more so as this crazy penguin started attacking her. Buck started going a series of karate chops along with a few kicks. Bullet quickly reacted avoiding most of the punches, but the kick took her completely by surprise, knocking her back to some barrels.
"I've got you now Red Squirrel," Buck was about to apprehend her, when Bullet suddenly grabbed him and few him up about 10 ft. in the air.
"Look pal, I don't know what your deal is, but I'm not this Red Squirrel. See I'm a brown squirrel. Also I don't think your red squirrel can fly any more than a penguin can." Bullet said threatening to drop him.
"You make a valid argument," Buck agreed. "So can you let me down now?" he asked as politely as he can. Bullet lowered Buck back to the ground.
"So what are you animals doing here? This is a restricted area." a Hamster with goggles and a No. 2 badge demanded.
"Um that hamster in at the front desk told us that we can get a flight to Paris here," Brain explained.
"Ugh, Hamster 3. I knew it was a bad idea to put her there." Hamster 2 groaned.
"Is there something wrong?" Courage asked hoping that there is something wrong so that they wouldn't have to ride on this flying death trap.
"Look no offense but this is a highly classified mission. No civilians is allowed on this flight, PERIOD!" Buck stressed. "Except for Masked Dog, he's cool." To everyone else's bewilderment, Buck and Masked Dog started paw/flipper bumping.
"Well I'm not a civilian. I'm with Interpol." Brain claimed holding out John Gadget's badge. "My identification number is 467-78-4248, and I was assigned to find out what's happening to the humans." Brain lied.
"Hold up you expect me to believe you are the famous Inspector Gadget?" Buck recognizing the ID number. "Prove it." Buck demanded.
"Well I have this Go-Go Gadget communication collar," Brain said activating his collar. "And I also have this Gadget computer book." Showing Penny's book.
"Eh your story checks out. Alright you can come along too. But no one else!" Buck convinced that only Gadget would have such gadgets.
"As much as I appreciate the invite, but I must insist that my companions accompany me as well." Masked Dog pointing to Courage and Zebra Donkey.
"And I need my partner as well for this mission," Brain said pointing to Bullet. "Besides aren't you bringing civilians along as well," Brain glancing at Scooby, Chip, and Dale.
"Fine whatever, just keep them out of my way!" Buck warned. "Hey Hamster 2 are we ready yet. I want to get this junk pile up in the air before more people come in wanting a ride."
"Almost we're just loading up this plane here," Hamster 2 said guiding the Ranger Plane into the Airbus.
"Do we really need more junk in the air?" Buck complained.
"Sorry, but I happen to be a fan of the Rescue Rangers, and I really want a chance to study their equipment." Hamster 2 said.
"Whatever," Buck grumbled. He hates having to deal with civilians.
After the Ranger Plane was loaded into the cargo hold. Hamster 2 got into the pilot's seat and began to prep for takeoff. As he did this, 5 pairs of sinister eyes were watching from the shadows. As the airbus flew off into the sky, they pulled out a cell phone and made a call. "Boss it appears that Buck Rockgut and company are heading to Paris," these 5 cats meowed in unison.
"What I thought I ordered you Sinister Felines From Atop the Litterbox to stop him!" a mysterious voice answered.
"Yes but he had 4 dogs not to mention some super powered flying squirrel with him. No way we're sticking our claws into that beehive." the S.F.F.A.T.L. reported.
"Fine I'll take care of it, but this is coming out of you scaredy cats pay." the voice threatened.
"Scaredy cats, we take offense to that," the S.F.F.A.T.L. hissed.
Later somewhere out in the Atlantic ocean. A high tech submarine was floating on the surface while certain mad genius was admiring the view. "Ah isn't it glorious. Soon I will dominate and it will be the humans that have to perform for my entertainment." This one eyed on dolphin on a Segway gloated.
"Um Dr. Blowhole," this lowly lobster said trying to get his boss's attention.
"Not now, can't you see I'm trying to enjoy our triumph." Dr. Blowhole snapped.
"Yeah but you're getting a priority one message." the lobster reported handing him the message.
"Fine," Blowhole groaned. He hated taking orders from someone else, but if the plan succeeds then it will be all worth it. "What, shoot down any flying school buses? What kind of nonsense is that?" Blowhole griped reading the message.
"You mean like that school bus up there flying over us right now?" the lobster pointed out.
"Say what," Blowhole pressed the button on his Segway and a telescope popped out. "Huh, there really are flying school buses," Blowhole observed through his telescope. "Well let's get this over with so that I can go back to enjoying myself. Fire the Sea to Air missile!" Blowhole ordered.
"Firing the Sea to Air missile," the lobster repeated pressing the firing button. Launching the deadly device straight at their target.
"Do you really have to repeat everything I say, it's really annoying." Blowhole complained.
"But it's what the humans do in all those movies," the lobster cowered fearing his boss's wrath.
"Well if it's in the movies then I guess that's how things are done." Blowhole said. "Good job, now get me some popcorn. I want to enjoy the fireworks." he ordered.
Meanwhile up in the airbus, unaware of the deadly projectile heading towards them, our heroes were enjoying a relatively smooth flight. Over at the back of the bus, Hamster 2 was with Chip and Dale as he worked on the Ranger Plane. "This is some piece of work. Who ever made this is a genius." Hamster 2 complimented as he finished the last of the repairs.
"You bet she is," Chip agreed.
"And cute too," Dale added.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you mean that the one who made marvel this is a girl?" Hamster 2 said in disbelief.
"Yup," Chip and Dale said at the same time.
"You know I think I can make some modifications on this to make it faster and stronger. Do you think she'll mind?" Hamster 2 asked.
"Well um," Chip and Dale unsure how Gadget will take someone else working on her Ranger Plane, but before they could stop him, he'd already started working on it.
"Hey pal, if you're back here, then who's flying the plane?" Chip suddenly realized.
"Oh I've got it covered," Hamster 2 assured him.
Over at the cockpit, Buck Rockgut was sitting in the pilot's seat. "Don't worry I'm certified," he announced as he continued flying.
"I'm going to need gyro stabilizer," Hamster 2 said.
"What's that?" Dale asked.
"A device with a dial and a gauge on it." Hamster 2 said.
"Oh you mean like that thing," Dale pointing to a device with a dial and a gauge on the bulkhead.
"Yeah, only a different one, that one is being used to keep us steady," Hamster 2 warned.
"I got it," Dale said not paying attention, ran up and tried to pull the device off the wall. Luckily it was bolted to the frame so he couldn't pull it out. Chip and Hamster 2 breathed a sigh of relief when Bullet floated over to Dale.
"You want that thing?" Bullet asked. Dale nodded his head. "Okay then." With one yank, Bullet ripped the device out, causing the airbus to spin out of control. Ironically it was due to this erratic movement that allowed the airbus to barely miss the missile, but it still exploded causing the airbus to crash down.
"Beautiful," Blowhole sighed as he ate his popcorn, enjoying the destruction he caused.
