Chip was still blowing with the wind.
"How do we stop you from blowing all over the place?" yelled Daffy.
"I'm Chip the ship!" yelled Chip. "I'm a ship; I'm not supposed to know what to do! Those are your jobs!"
"Working out how to stop you is very hard!" yelled Lola.
"Not as difficult as trying to work out why Jim fired that thing to send us away!" Zack shouted at the top of his thing.
"Wind bullet!" cried Clive.
"WHAT?" Everyone screamed.
"Clive has worked out what has sent us away!" Clive told them. "Jim fired at the wind into Chip's sail and that's what's blowing Chip away."
"Well, don't just stand there, Clive!" screamed Babs. "Do something to stop it!"
"Clive has," Clive smiled.
Babs's previous words were echoing through the sky, as Chip had finally stopped.
"Why do I always get the embarrassing moments in this story?" Babs asked.
"Quiet, Babs!" Clive ordered, as she looked on her laptop. "Clive's getting through."
"Through what?" Zack asked. He and everyone gathered around.
"Yes, Clive's nearly there!" said Clive.
Everyone saw on her laptop that she was on an online maze game. She made it to the end. "Yes, Clive's through!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, well done, Clive," said Zack sarcastically. "But what has that got to do with – "
"FZI – that stands 'For Zack's Information' – this is the only way to crack into the Epic Twins' private computer. We find them and we find Hamton and Nell. Which Clive has already done."
Everyone tried to see, but even the large screen on Clive's laptop was too small for everyone to see.
"Back away, everyone!" Clive ordered. "Get Clive a movie camera and SCART leads and she will show it on that giant sail."
In a quick second, Sylvester gave Clive a movie camera and Tweety gave her the leads. Then Clive connected the camera to her laptop. She turned the camera on and what was playing on her laptop was playing on the giant sail.
"When this voyage is over, I'll probably be a movie-theatre-while-sailing-in-the-sea ship," moaned Chip to himself.
On the sail, they saw Jim and John in a dark creepy room.
"Zack," Clive whispered, holding a microphone.
Zack took the microphone. "Jim! John!"
On the sail, the Epic twins turned around.
"Hey, O'Marrows!" said Jim. "How are you doing? I see you managed to stop Chip from my wind bullet. Well done."
"Oh, skip the pleasantries, Jim," said Zack. "I want to know what you've done with Hamton and Nell!"
Jim and John moved out of the way and saw Hamton, wearing his green swim shorts and a diver's mask, was in a cage with water and a paper-cut animated crocodile! A snapping one, too!
"Can anyone chuck a piece of food so he doesn't just have to eat me?" asked Hamton through his snorkel.
The crew was shocked to see this was happening.
"Let them go!" shouted Zack.
"Only if you promise to give Buster to us!" Jim smiled evilly.
Hamton was doing all he can to avoid the snapping crocodile. He was trying to climb the rusty cage, but it was too slippery. There was nothing else he could do. He had no weapons to defend himself or anything except all the energy he had to run from his opponent.
Dia grabbed the microphone. "Where is Nell?" she snapped.
"Right here," smiled Jim.
Dia saw that Nell was on a roasting spit over a fire.
"Is this the best you can?" she scoffed.
"Nell, don't be cocky!" cried Dia. "You'll only make things worse."
"Listen to your sister next time," Jim said to Nell, "or there may not be a next time."
"There won't be one with you," said Nell.
"Very well," said Jim. He got out a can of gasoline and threw it on the fire. It grew and grew.
Chip's crew began to fear the worst for Hamton and Nell.
"Look, just take me to there!" snapped Buster. "I don't want anyone dying on my behalf."
"Yeah, we'll just tell them some sort of lie," Dia said, "and then we'll trick them into giving Hamton and Nell over to us without giving Buster to them and – "
"They're not ones for taking lies easily," Zack told him. "Besides, I've seen your cartoons. Hamton will make it through in the end, I'm sure of that."
Dia still didn't look agreeable. "But, Nell, she's – "
"Off the spit!" pointed out Melissa.
Everyone saw there was no roasting spit over the fire.
John was sitting on a deck chair, eating a packet of potato chips. He put a handful in his mouth. Then he went for more potato chips, only to find out the bag wasn't there.
Meanwhile, Hamton had run out of tricks. He had climbed up the very top of the cage, but he slipped and fell into the water. The crocodile came for him. Hamton dived down. He swam as fast as he could, but his large reptile opponent was still behind him.
"Hey, you don't wanna eat him," said Nell's voice. Both the boys turned to see Nell above them.
They all came to the surface and caught up with their breath.
"I don't?" asked the crocodile.
"No! He's not the tastiest bacon in the world," Nell went on. "So instead, have these!" She got out a bag of potato chips.
"Hey, those are mine!" yelled John.
"Hmm, these are good," smiled the crocodile. He had the last one. "I'm full now!"
"Like, she's totally good, Dia," Shirley told Dia.
"See?" smiled Zack. "They always come through in the end."
"Hmm, I don't know," said Dia. "Jim and John don't look defeated yet."
The cage opened and two Neo soldiers took Hamton and Nell out of the water.
"Well done, Hamton and Nell," said Jim.
"For what?" asked John.
"For surviving our little test," replied Jim, as he stroked Nell's head. Nell tried to bite him, but he quickly moved his hand. "Nice try, Nell. And for your bravery, I'm gonna…"
Hamton, Nell and everyone on Chip looked hopeful.
"…give you a little present," finished Jim.
"Oh, that's nice," said Hamton.
"It won't be nice, Hamton," said Nell.
Jim and John walked through a metal door. The soldiers, holding Hamton and Nell, followed. Then the screen went fuzzy.
"Clive, what happened?" asked Zack.
"It's not Clive," replied Clive. "The Epics have turned it off, so we wouldn't find out about Hamton and Nell. But Clive has an idea. If Clive can upload the next channel…"
On the sail, the screening went back to normal. Only the screening showed a dark rocky cave with about twenty-four glass chambers filled with water. They saw a shark, an octopus, an eel, a whale squashed in his own chamber, a swordfish, a big jellyfish, a crab and other paper-cut animated aquatic creatures from all over the world.
"Clive, what is the point of this?" snapped Daffy. "We're supposed to find Hamton and Nell, not visit an aquarium!"
"Hey, look!" cried Babs. "It's Hamton and Nell."
They looked and saw Hamton, who was now wearing a diver's helmet, and Nell in a glass chamber each.
"Look, they're gonna go helmet diving," cried Plucky. "That's their reward."
"I don't think so, Plucky," said Buster.
Down Hamton and Nell went with all the other teenage aquatic creatures. The screen showed them going down to a deep-sea area. It had a few dim lights on the rockks, but the area was still rocky, dark and dangerous for anyone to be in, if you weren't a deep-sea creature.
On Chip, everyone was confused.
"What's with all those knives and forks, salt, pepper and ketchup?" asked Lola.
Then Dia gasped.
"Ten… Nine… Eight…"
Dia knew what Hamton and Nell was going to go through. She got out a paperback version of The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins and showed everyone it.
"Five… Four… Three… Two… One…"
The games began! All the aquatic creatures grabbed their knives and forks and gears and charged for each other.
"This is h-h-h-h - awful!" cried Porky.
"What's the point of this?" Sylvester pondered.
"Probably just something another thing for this story to parody, I guess," said Zack.
"But where is Hamton and Nell?" asked Dia, panicking like the toons do.
"Clive has patched in one of the tv cameras filming this," Clive said. "It should come up… Now!"
And the sail showed Hamton and Nell… alive! Everyone was reviled.
"This is simple, Hamton," said Nell. "We find a way out and then we find Chip and then we can get Buster to this island."
"But how do we get out?" asked Hamton.
"Beats me," said Nell.
"Not as much as I will beat you!" yelled a male voice.
Nell and Hamton turned around and saw the big Pacific sea nettle jellyfish next to them. He had a woolly hat on his top and he wore sunglasses, too. He resembled a big bully. He chased them.
"Clive, do you have anything that can get us in there?" asked Dia. "Anything!"
"Clive has been analyzing the situation," said Clive. "There's nothing we can do. Clive can't even get communications to Hamton's helmet."
"Are you saying that they're on their own?" asked Zack.
"Clive's afraid so," said Clive.
All they could do was just sit and watch Hamton and Nell get cornered to a dead end. And the jellyfish was coming. There was no way to run.
The jellyfish came closer and closer and –
RING!
"All right! Closing up time!" cried Witch Hazel in an animated library. Mac and Tosh were still sitting on top of the really big book.
"Already?" exclaimed Tosh.
"Well, it is a big book," pointed out Mac.
"Yeah, I know that," said Tosh, "but I was hooked from the beginning and I want to find out what happens next now."
"Me too," said Mac, "but this is a big book and we'll get to read it tomorrow."
"Yeah, you do have a point," agreed Tosh. "Besides, I'm getting excited and looking forward to find out what happens next."
"Me, too," said Mac. "But how shall we remember where we are?"
"How about putting this bookmark on this page?" suggested Tosh.
"Why didn't I think of that?" said Mac.
Tosh pulled the bookmark on the page and Mac closed the book.
"Now let's go home," said Mac.
"After you," said Tosh.
"No, after you, I insist," insisted Mac.
"Thank you," smiled Tosh, as they jumped off the book and walked out the library. The door closed on its own and the lit candles were blown out by themselves. The room was dark and empty.
