The dog and cat both wanted Jerry.
"I'll handle these two." Patch said while cracking his fingers.
"You sure you're not tired enough?" Robyn asked.
"Nope." Patch shook his head.
"Well, all right then." Robyn let Patch go and do his thing if he really wanted to.
"Ugh, I hope this day ends soon..." Jerry sounded bored and irritated.
"You two want Jerry?" Patch growled at the two. "You'll have to get past me."
"All right then, ye asked for this, wee pup!" the Irish dog challenged. "That mouse is me meal ticket!"
"No, it's my meal!" the black cat retorted.
"If either of you can beat me or my owner, then that one can have Jerry." Patch said, referring to Atticus when he said owner.
The black cat and Irish dog growled, then got into a cartoon fight cloud with the Dalmatian puppy. Drell kept biting at the ring to pry it off Jerry's head.
"Drell, stop..." Cherry nudged him.
"I'm hungry..." Drell smirked slightly as he seemed to drool over Jerry's head while he bit on the ring.
Atticus gave Drell a lunch bag. "There's some food in there for you." he said.
Drell tossed Jerry over his shoulder and took the lunch bag, digging his hand in. "Let's see what we got here..." Luckily for him, there was food in there that he would like to eat.
Tom caught Jerry in his paws and smiled to the mouse. Patch was now on top of both the black cat and Irish dog after fighting them off for a while.
"Good boy." Atticus smiled to Patch and patted his head.
Patch smiled, very proud of himself, but still very tired, so he let out another yawn. "Thank you..." he said, very drowsy.
"Okay, now let's continue our way back to the house." Tom said.
"I think this is all, the police are taken care of and so are those bullies." Robyn smiled in approval.
"This sure has been one exhausting day." Patch yawned.
Atticus carried Patch. "Come on, which way to Chip's house?"
"Follow me." Tom decided to lead.
"Lead the way, Tom." Atticus said.
Tom nodded and with that, they all started to walk down the sidewalk.
"Mm..." Drell smiled as he took out a smoked salmon sandwich with bacon and strawberry jelly on it and ate it, it was odd, but it was what he liked to eat.
It took hours, but they all finally arrived back at Chip's house and where it was now morning.
"Morning already?" Robyn pouted slightly.
"At least we're here, I think we beat your uncle home." Cherry said as she saw nothing in front of the house or gate, looking for a car or whatever the wizard used to get around.
"Still, we should hurry inside." Drell said.
"Mm-hmm..." Robyn nodded.
With that, they rushed inside the house.
Robyn took out her spare key and unlocked the door and ran in with them, looking all around for uncle, but did not hear or see him. "Whew, okay, he's not home yet." the blonde girl said out of relief.
"All right, go, go, go..." Drell urged everyone.
Tom carried Jerry on his shoulder and then set the mouse to his feet once they were free from the chaos for now.
"Now, to get that blasted ring off..." Patch said after he woke up and felt more energized, traveling the world and beating up those bully animals took a lot out of him.
Tom looked out the window and never saw any sign of Chip, so he closed the curtains over the window and came back over to Jerry and the others. "All right, Jerry, fun's over, time to give up the ring." he then held out his paw.
"No." Jerry shook his head.
"Are you serious!?" Tom glared. "After all we've been through, you still won't give it back!?"
"No, I mean I can't!" Jerry said, struggling to pull the ring off, then yelped. "It's still stuck!"
"Okay, to the kitchen!" Atticus called out.
"I still can't believe you big guys cant' get it off..." Cherry said.
Drell glanced at her, then grabbed Jerry in his hand. "Come 'ere, Mousey Mouse..."
They went into the kitchen so the magic ring could be taken off and they would not get in trouble with Chip. Atticus checked under the sink to find the ring remover.
"Can you see it?" Tom asked.
"Not really..." Atticus struggled. "It's dark in here."
"Lemme..." Cherry leaned over as she could see in the dark better than most people could, almost as if she had night vision.
"Can you see if it's in there?" Patch asked.
"I see something, but I'm not sure if it's the ring remover or not..." Cherry stretched her arm inside, then took out a tube and showed it to Atticus. "Is this it?" she then asked him since she was unsure what it was that she had found.
"Yep, that's ring remover alright." Atticus smiled.
"All right, let's do this..." Cherry said.
Jerry looked up, curiously and nervously. Cherry applied the ring remover in her hand, then rubbed the top of Jerry's head. For what felt like a painfully long time, the ring was finally getting slippery and it slicked right off of Jerry's head at last.
"Alright, now, let's get it back into the ring box before my uncle gets home." Robyn said.
Jerry rubbed his head and was very happy that that cool, but annoying ring was finally off his scalp.
Drell nodded to Robyn. "Let's do it then."
Tom was about to take the ring then.
"Uh, I better get that..." Robyn put the ring in her hands, having a feeling that the cat would get it stuck on his finger due to how unlucky he could be sometimes, she then went downstairs to her uncle's basement and put the ring right back in the box and closed it shut so it would look like none of this ever happened.
"Me, Drell, and Cherry better get out of here, so then, we won't draw any suspicions." Atticus said.
"Good idea." Tom agreed.
"See ya back at home, boy." Atticus smiled to Patch, giving him a small pet on the head before taking his leave.
Patch smiled to Atticus. "See ya!"
Cherry, Atticus, and Drell then took their leave, waving to the cat, mouse, puppy, and human girl.
After they left, Robyn, Patch, Tom, and Jerry were all now relaxing in the living room.
"Robyn, I'm home!" a voice called.
"Phew..." Robyn, Patch, Tom, and Jerry said in relief.
Chip walked over and found them in the living room. "Ah, there you all are... I'm sure you took very good care of my ring while I was gone, didn't you?"
"Yeah, don't worry, Uncle Chip," Robyn smiled. "It was no trouble at all."
"Yeah," Patch said. "No trouble at all."
"Well, where is it?" Chip asked.
"Right where you left it," Robyn smirked slightly. "See? Tom and Jerry aren't trouble!"
"I see..." Chip noted. "Well, I suppose I should make a nice smoked salmon for Tom."
Tom smacked his lips. "Great!"
"And I'll give Patch a nice big steak and for Jerry, I'll give him his favorite food, cheese." Chip smiled.
Jerry and Patch smiled to each other in return. Chip then went to the kitchen. The telephone then suddenly rang.
"Robyn, could you get that for me, please?" Chip asked his niece.
"Already on it, Uncle Chip," Robyn said as she came to the phone and answered it. "Hello?"
"Hello, Robyn, it's daddy." Mr. Starling's voice said.
"Oh, hi, Daddy," Robyn smiled. "Did you make it to Egypt okay?"
"I sure did and we're almost about to get into the entrance, but we might need some help." Mr. Starling said.
"I wish there was something I could do..." Robyn said. "Are you guys okay?"
"We're fine, just having difficulties..." Mr. Starling said.
"Maybe Atticus and his friends can come over and help." Robyn smiled.
"If they can find a way to Egypt in time..." Mr. Starling shrugged, unaware of how powerful Atticus and the others actually were.
Diane kept trying to find a way.
"Find anything?" Mr. Starling asked his fellow archaeologist.
Diane frowned and shook her head.
"We found something!" A female voice called down.
"What did you find, Velma!?" Diane called back.
"Come over here!" Velma called.
"Hang on a moment, honey." Mr. Starling told his daughter.
"Okay, Daddy." Robyn replied, she wasn't as anxious for him to go than she used to because of old times, but she hoped everything was all right.
Mr. Starling ran with Diane and came over to their partner. "What is it?"
"I think we might have just found Cleopatra's ankh." Velma smiled.
"This is brilliant." Diane praised.
"I know!" Velma smiled as she brought the jeweled ankh necklace out of the Sphinx and then brought it out to the light of the sun.
"Velma, that's truly remarkable, we could make history!" Mr. Starling grinned.
The light of the sun then caused for the ankh to shine brightly. The three adults flinched slightly from the bright light. The light from the ankh then pointed to the bottom of the sphinx. Diane, Mr. Starling, and Velma looked curious.
"Daddy?" Robyn felt on the edge. "Are you there?"
"Oh, yes, I'm still here, Robyn." Mr. Starling said.
"There you are," Robyn felt better now. "What happened? You were gone an awfully long time."
"Sorry about that, dear, but Velma found something." Mr. Starling explained.
"Really?" Robyn asked. "What?"
"Cleopatra's ankh." Mr. Starling smiled.
Robyn looked curious for a moment. "Is that the cross thing?"
"Yes, it is." Mr. Starling confirmed.
"Cool." Robyn smiled.
"Now, if only we can find a way inside..." Diane pouted.
"We'll think of something." Mr. Starling said to her.
Robyn really wished there was something she could do to help her father. Luckily for them, the light beam from the ankh opened a way inside for them.
"I have to go now, honey, there's a way to travel after all," Mr. Starling said. "You be good for your uncle now and I'll see you in a little while."
"Okay, Daddy, bye, I love you." Robyn said.
"I love you too." Mr. Starling told his daughter.
With that, they both hung up, going their separate ways.
"Was that your father?" Jerry asked.
"Yeah," Robyn looked back. "He, Ms. Dinkley, and Ms. Spellman found the sphinx and an ankh that let them in."
"Cool, do they need any help?" Patch asked.
"I offered for Atticus and the others to help, but Daddy said they made it in..." Robyn shrugged.
"Huh?" Patch said, confused.
"I don't understand either... Oh, well..." Robyn merely shrugged and walked off, holding her stomach as she felt hungry. "Wonder what's for dinner..."
As if on cue, Chip came into the living room with food.
"Oh, good." Robyn smiled.
Chip served Tom his salmon, Jerry his cheese, and Patch his steak. The animals gave thankful looks and happily ate, feeling they were rewarded handsomely for this adventure. After few minutes passed, Patch stretched and decided to get back to his owner. The others told Patch their goodbyes as he was on his way back to Atticus after he ate his dinner. Patch replied to them and continued his way. He decided to run the rest of the way.
