A few moments earlier at the Norfolk airport hanger: "Now boarding flight 1313 to Paris, France." Hamster 2 announced via intercom. Which was pointless since all the passengers were standing right in front of him.
"All right you losers. Hurry along, we haven't got all day." Hamster 4 complained as he directed Scooby and the gang onto the plane. Well directing mostly everyone as Courage needed to be dragged over to his seat. Meanwhile in the rear of the airbus, Chip and Dale were working with other hamsters to load the Ranger Plane into the cargo section. After everything was secured and the passengers in their seats, all the Hamsters except for Hamster 2 got off the airbus. "Ahem, testing, testing. This is your captain Hamster 2 speaking. I'd like to welcome you all for our nonstop flight to Paris. We know you have several choices..wait no you don't, never mind. We are currently waiting for word from the tower...But why wait?" Hamster 2 laughed manically as he engaged the plane on full throttle! Everyone on board, with the exception of Hamster 2, screamed in terror as the plane raced across the runway, lifting off into the air, and barely missing the planes that are coming down for a landing.
Over at the tower, the H.N.D. watch the mayhem going on in the airfield. "What is that fool doing?" Hamster 1 demanded.
"Hot dogging as usual," Hamster 5 joked.
"Grrr, this is the last straw. Take note that when he gets back, he's grounded forever." Hamster 1 barked.
"Oh lighten up boss, you knew he'd pull a stunt like this, that's why you had me redirect all air traffic in the area. Besides he's our best pilot. We can't afford to lose him." Hamster 5 pointed out.
"Fine, I'll ground him for a week then. With no soda!" Hamster 1 decreed. Prompting several gasps in horror from the other Hamsters.
Inside the airbus, Hamster 2 felt a dark premonition as if something has happen to the soda force. Brushing the uncertain feeling aside, Hamster 2 turned on the intercom. "This is your captain speaking again. We have just reached cruising altitude. So now I'm turning off the fasten seatbelt sign, and you are all free to move about in the cabin." Hamster 2 announced turning the seatbelt sign off. Over in the passenger side, most still haven't recovered from that wild take off.
"Why that no good dirty daredevil...I'm going to have to have a serious talk with our pilot!" Buck ranted as he headed towards the cockpit.
"Are we still alive?" Scooby whimpered covering his eyes since he's too afraid to look.
"Man and I thought I was into crazy flying," Bullet gulped unfastening her seatbelt.
"Eh, we've been through worst," Chip and Dale said recounting of all the times they've nearly crashed.
"That's nothing, you should've seen the stuff I go through with Inspector Gadget." Brain shuttered.
"Are you alright my friends?" Masked Dog asked Courage and Zebra Donkey.
"I'm good," Zebra Donkey replied. Courage on the other hand, didn't say a thing. He was pale white and frozen stiff with a look of sheer terror on his face.
A few hours later as they flew over the Atlantic, things have calmed down a bit for our passengers. The plane was flying more smoothly than before, so they were able to enjoy the ride. Bullet, not comfortable riding a flying machine, was hovering above everyone thinking that she should just fly to Paris on her own. Instead of riding with the lunatic at the wheel. The only problem is that she still doesn't know where Paris is, or what to do when she gets there. Courage found something to distract him from his fear, Brain's or rather Penny's computer book. Brain was actually surprised to see how good Courage is with a computer, he even found some features if the computer book that even Penny wasn't aware of. Scooby, Masked Dog, and Zebra Donkey were playing cards for the salted peanuts.
Over at the back of the cargo hold, 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 nodding 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, I just realized something. If you're back here, then who's flying the plane?" Chip gulped.
"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.
"Are you sure we should be letting him fly? I mean he is a penguin, and you know what they say about penguins." Dale asked skeptically. The others glared at him harshly. Yes they do know what they say about penguins, but there's no way they were going to walk into that lame joke, so they didn't respond.
"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.
"What the heck is going on here?" Buck demanded trying to get the plane back under control.
"I knew this was going to happen. Penguins can't fly!" Dale yelled trying hang on to the Ranger Plane.
Down below on the ocean, a small submarine has set its sights on the poorly constructed aircraft. "FIRE!" Blowhole ordered as his minions fired a missile at the plane. Blowhole watched with glee as the plane blew up into tiny pieces. "Beautiful," Blowhole sighed, enjoying the destruction he cause. Unbeknownst to all to the erratic movements that allowed the airbus to barely miss the missile, but the explosion still caused the airbus to break apart.
Inside the smoke the sound of a pair of squeaky wings could be heard flapping as the Ranger Plane, with Chip, Dale, and Hamster 2 in the seats, safely flying out of the airbus. Not only that, but they were able to use the Ranger Plane's plunger cables to rope Buck and Courage, saving them from falling. Courage of course was screaming and hyperventilating at the same time, until Buck slapped him in the face and told him to shut it. Bullet was able to fly Scooby out of there as well. With Masked Dog, Zebra Donkey, and Brain riding on his back.
"Phew, that was close, good thing we were able to get the Ranger Plane working." Hamster 2 commented as he worked the controls.
"And you said it was a waste of space," Dale mocked Buck who was dangling below the Ranger Plane.
"Yeah, yeah, it was a good thing you dragged that piece of junk along." Buck grumbled. He hates it when others prove him wrong.
"But what happen?" Brain asked.
"If any of you yahoos makes a wisecrack of how penguins can't fly will be getting a flipper to the face!" Buck threatened making an imitation fist with his flipper. Prompting Dale to sag in his seat.
"It wasn't your fault, it was her's!" Hamster 2 accused pointing at Bullet.
"Me?" Bullet gasped.
"You ripped out the gyro stabilizer. That's why my plane lost control!" Hamster 2 explained.
"Well I didn't know it was important," Bullet defended.
"It's a plane. A complex machine. Everything is important." Hamster 2 stressed.
"Enough!" Scooby barked silencing everyone. "Look can we please play the blame game after we land?" Scooby pleaded.
"Fine," everyone agreed.
"So where is the nearest land?" Bullet asked. Not that she was getting tired or anything, but she really hates carrying dogs.
"Luck for you I know how to do my job, and checked the position and trajectory. The nearest spot of land should be coast of Spain should be about half a klick south south east from out current location." Buck said.
"Great race you there." Bullet said excitedly as she zoomed off with Scooby and others she was carrying, but not in the right direction.
"Wait that's the wrong..." Hamster 2 tried to tell her but she was already gone. Since the Ranger Plane wasn't designed for speed, the remaining party couldn't chase after her and instead waited for her return. "3...2...1..." they all counted down, and right on cue she returned.
"Okay, so which way was it again?" Bullet asked in embarrassment.
A couple of hours later, the team touchdown on dry land. Needless to say, Scooby and Courage immediately started kissing the dirt vowing never to climb into a plane piloted by a hamster or penguin ever again. "Okay we are back to dry land. Now what?" Chip asked.
"Well I don't know what you hippies plan on doing, but me I've got a job to do." Buck said sternly as he started to waddle away.
"We're all in this together," Scooby said running in front of the old penguin. "And we have more of a chance if we work together."
Buck looked around at the motley crew assembled. While he wouldn't call them Spit n' Polish, he could see the fiery determination in their eyes. "Fine first order of business is to find out where we are and to find transportation to Paris." Buck conceded.
"Say are you all right? Do you need any help?" a mysterious voice offered. They all turned to see a chimp in overalls. "I saw you guys flying over here and came to offer some assistance," the Chimp explained.
Buck immediately tackled the ape to the ground. "Alright state your name, rank, and serial number. What are you doing here? How much do you know? And where is the Red Squirrel?" Buck interrogated
The ape gulped nervously, too terrified to respond. "Whoa hold it there tough guy," Masked Dog said pulling Buck off of the ape. "There's no need to be so rough."
"You're right," Buck said taking deep breaths.
"Now my friend, can you be a so kind as to tell us where we are and how can get to Paris?" Masked Dog asked.
"Well you are off the coast of Spain, and as for getting to Paris, I'm afraid the only option is to walk." the Chimp said sadly.
"That is NOT an option," Buck spat. "We need to get to Paris in order to help the humans."
"Wait what do you mean help the humans?" the Chimp asked. The team recounted everything that has happened up to this point. "So you think that this guy in Paris might have a clue to what's going on," the Chimp said with great interest. "I may have something that can help you. The name's Chim-Chim by the way." Chim-Chim directed the team to a race track and to the pit belonging to...
"Speed Racer!" Dale gasped. "You know Speed Racer!"
"Know him, ha. I'm the most important member of Team Racer." Chim-Chim directed everyone's attention to a photo of him with the Racer family. "A little while ago, everyone just fell asleep and nothing I did could wake them." Chim-Chim said sadly. "But if you guys can do something about this, I'll give you all the help I can." Chim-Chim said with fiery determination.
"So are going to take the Mach 5?" Dale asked hopefully.
"In your dreams pal!" Chim-Chim laughed. "Even if we could take it, there wouldn't be enough room for all of us. No we'll be taking this." Chim-Chim pointed to the truck used to transport the Mach 5. "I just need to unload the Mach 5 so that Speed still has it for the race when he wakes up." Chim-Chim said.
"Good we'll need the extra room for that plane of yours," Buck said to Chip and Dale.
"You want to bring the Ranger Plane with us?" Chip said in astonishment since Buck has been constantly complaining about it.
"No, but it might come in handy, and besides it has proven its mettle." Buck said with a wink.
"Plastic," Dale interjected.
"What?" Buck asked him.
"Plastic, the Ranger Plane is made with plastic not metal." Dale joked. Buck was getting ready to slap the little chipmunk for that, but decided to let it go.
After removing the Mach 5, which Dale has been sitting in the drivers seat daydreaming that he's driving it, the team placed the Ranger Plane inside. While Scooby and Courage were stocking up on food for the trip.
"Alright, any of you need to use the bathroom before we go?' Chim-Chim asked as he got in the driver's seat.
"Wait you're coming with us?" Scooby asked.
"Of course, does anyone else here have a driver's license?" Chim-Chim said showing them a gag license that the Racer Family made for his birthday, but he thinks it's real. Of course in his defense, he actually does know how to drive.
"Any of you mutts pull that dog license gag will be getting 2 flippers to the face!" Buck threaten, folding his flippers to make an approximation of 2 fists. All of the dogs who were reaching for their collars, immediately placed their paws behind their backs.
