Chapter 4: Rescue Mission in Hong Kong! Unusual Helpers on the Way!
The cruise ship sailed across the ocean silently, along with the seagulls following its trail. The group was really having a fun time on deck, and the performance done by them was indeed splendid in the ship's theatre. The Pretty Rhythm All-Stars had blown the minds of the audience away, with dazzling costumes and marvelous dance moves. Later, Yogi and Boo-boo had made the audience burst into laughter with comedic acts, including the pranks used to fool anyone. Aira, Snagglepuss and Rabbit-chi had joined in, and it really was amusing for them.
After the performance, the group was relaxing at one of the ship's cafeterias. Mia was really anticipating of going to Hong Kong, so was Reina. Pixie and Dixie wondered what the adventures will bring them. Yogi was busy snacking off his meal, because he loves the delicious food onboard.
Just then, Naru noticed the two figures wearing mysterious outfits. She was really worried as she told the group that something insecure might happen. Snagglepuss was worried too, as he thought it might be Dick Dastardly and Muttley. The group decided to stay together so that they will not be insecure from dangers.
As the group arrived in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor, the group left the ship as they are ready to travel there. Dick Dastardly and Muttley followed pursuit, with their minds scheming to strike the group in vengeance. They know it was going to be much easier than they thought, despite the outcomes they might have.
"Now Muttley, let's follow them and see where they are up to!" Dick Dastardly and Muttley put on their disguises as they looked like they are supporting Hong Kong's activist group Scholarism. They followed the group on bus and it went off.
Snagglepuss was sitting beside Naru and both of them felt insecure. Dick Dastardly and Muttley were disguising someone who is mysterious, so they spoke out to Rizumu who was sleeping beside Pixie and Dixie.
"Hey, Rizumu-chan! I think these two strangers are really attempting to kidnap us!" Naru whispered.
Rizumu woke up and replied: "Just stick together, and be careful of what they are doing! They can strike at any moment, so beware!"
Upon hearing that, Naru and Snagglepuss decided to follow what she said. They knew it would be fun to meet up with friends in Hong Kong, but Dick and Muttley were stalking them. They insecurely looked at their friends until the bus reached a complete stop.
The gang got off the bus and met two girls. Mia and Reina ran over to them, happily hugging them with joy.
"Karin! Ayami! How are you guys?" Mia asked as she was really excited to perform with them.
"We're fine! Who are those strange looking cartoonish animals anyway?" Karin asked as she pointed out Yogi and his friends.
"They must be very strange to us!" said Remmy.
"That's Yogi and Boo-boo from Jellystone Park. Also, not to forget their friends Snagglepuss, Pixie and Dixie too!" Reina answered.
"Heavens to Murgatroyd! So you're also idols even! I can't believe it as I am so surprised!" Snagglepuss said in astonishment. "Why not if we go on a tour through Hong Kong? I hope we can meet Hong Kong Phooey then…"
"Yes, why not if we go to the Ocean Park? It is a combination of a zoo, aquarium and a theme park, so let's not miss this!" Ayami replied.
"Ocean Park, huh?" Dick said, "Terrific! Now I can stop them for sure and defeat them once and for all!" he laughed maniacally until a man looked at him.
"Oops, I was just…practicing my own acts!" Dick said sheepishly as he ran off with Muttley, hoping not to embarrass himself. As they reached the alleyway, he was so furious that he cursed silently. "Pathetic!" However, there was a shadowy figure watching over them, keeping track of what they are up to.
At the Ocean Park, the group had lots of fun here. Yogi's face turned green after riding the Dragon rollercoaster, so he went off to puke in the toilets. Rizumu and Aira had fun taking photos with the koalas, while Rimmy, Snagglepuss and Karin were busy admiring the colourful South American birds in the aviary. Mion, Pixie and Dixie goofed along with the red-handed tamarinds as the cheeky primates copied their actions. Poppun and Ann were accompanying Boo-boo in the Ocean Park Tower, watching the entire view of Hong Kong.
Meanwhile for Naru and Mia, they were watching the pandas munching down on the bamboo leaves. Dick Dastardly and Muttley saw them undetected, preparing for the moment to attack. Later, when Mia and Naru left the panda enclosure, Dick Dastardly and Muttley leapt out of nowhere, doing a surprise attack on them.
"AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" shouted Mia and Naru, they ran as fast as they could while Dick Dastardly and Muttley were chasing them. Muttley took out a net-shooting weapon and fired. The net which was shot had already caught Naru, while Mia just left herself unharmed.
"Nice one, Muttley, now time to get the pathetic bear and his friends for sure!" Dick Dastardly cackled as he took the net along with Naru trapped inside. He and Muttley are preparing to have revenge on Yogi, with a vicious plan to kidnap them all!
Reina and Ayami were looking at the polar bears, unaware of the troubles. "Their homes are in danger due to climate change." sighed Ayami. "What can be done to protect their fragile homes once and for all?"
Just as Reina was about to answer, Mia came in like a panicking antelope which had escaped from a hungry lion. She then said out: "Attention! This is not good! Naru's been kidnapped by an evil man and his dog!"
"WHAT?!" Reina and Ayami shouted in astonishment. They quickly called out to their friends to leave the park in order to make a gathering.
Later, the group was at the outside of the park, gathering together in a group. "Sheesh, why do we have to leave so quickly?" asked Yogi. "Could it be our enemies who were trying to attack us again? What kind of emergency is that?"
"You mean the man and his dog who caught Naru?" asked Mia asked in astonishment.
"Yes. It must be Dick Dastardly and Muttley, the fiendish duo who's trying to ruin our previous treasure hunts!" Snagglepuss cried out. Yogi was so shocked, so he didn't know what to do. "Oh dear, we've got into a mess, fellas! Now Naru's being captured, what can we do now?"
"We'll need to track them down for sure!" said Mimmy.
Just then, a dog in a karate outfit and a black mask appeared and said: "Are you seeking for help?"
"Yes, one of our friends got captured and we really need to get her back!" Yogi answered.
"Don't worry now, They call me Hong Kong Phooey, the karate expert! Hoo-yah!" The dog said as he did a karate move. "So, are you mentioning about that evil kidnappers who cheated in the Wacky Races?"
"You're right! It's them! Dick and Muttley! Now what shall we do?" Boo-boo answered.
"Just follow me, I knew where they are!" Hong Kong Phooey said as he got onto the Phooeymobile. The group boarded the bus and the rescue mission has already begun for them.
At Causeway Bay, Dick Dastardly and Muttley used a GPS tracker to see what Yogi and the group are. "Look, Muttley. They must be on our tail. I shall stop them before they can do anything to save their pathetic friend we have caught!"
They ran off with the captured Naru and searched for a hiding place. It was not long until Dick found an alleyway where they can finally escape from the group. He finally felt relieved until a secret agent squirrel came along and said, "Are you the ones trying to take the girl away from the others?"
"Well, certainly yes! I would like to let her become one of my henchmen…..so that I would win more future races and stop Yogi and friends for good!" Dick laughed as he answered the question. The squirrel then asked: "Then why not if you go and buy me dumplings? If you do, then she will be your henchman."
"Perfect! Now Muttley, let's go buy some dim sum so that she will be my henchmen!" Dick Dastardly said as he ran off with Muttley. Later, the squirrel untangled the net and freed Naru. Naru was so grateful that she thanked the squirrel for saving her. "Thank you, Mr. Squirrel! But I need to return to my friends right now…"
"No need to worry, miss. I will lead you where your friends are. Just be careful or else you will be caught again." The squirrel said as he used a device to track down Yogi and the group.
As for Hong Kong Phooey, he felt that something was not right. Dick Dastardly and Muttley had let go of Naru! Naru might be in danger! He quickly looked around until he saw a squirrel along with Naru, holding her hand for leading her to safety. the squirrel then shouted: "Hey sir! Is this the girl that you are looking for? She is already safe now!"
Hong Kong Phooey was delighted as he ran to the squirrel and thanked him. Naru was happy so that she hugged Mion. Everyone cheered as they congratulate the success of the rescue mission. Naru went on and said: "Thank you Mr. Squirrel! If it weren"t for you, then I would have been this crook's henchman!"
"You can call me Secret Squirrel, or Double S for short." the squirrel said. "It's my pleasure to seek help from those who are in trouble and fight off the most wanted criminals!" He then went off said: "See you! And don't forget to keep yourself safe and more alert! If anyone catches you and your friends, I will be there to help you!"
"Goodbye! Squirrel-san! Thank you very much for saving me!" Naru waved goodbye to Secret Squirrel along with her friends. Later, Snagglepuss asked: "I wonder what happened to Dick Dastardly then?" Everyone was clueless as they all thought about it. Karin said, "Galactical. They must be blasted off by Secret Squirrel... or maybe this is clearly unknown to us."
Meanwhile for Dick Dastardly and Muttley, both of them came along with dim sum meals and searched for the Secret Squirrel. Just then, Dick Dastardly found out that he had been tricked! Dick was so furious and he went to look for the Secret Squirrel, but he slipped on a banana skin again, causing Muttley to laugh at his pathetic look. "DRAT! DRAT AND DOUBLE DRAT! I HAVE BEEN TRICKED BY THAT ROTTEN SQUIRREL!"
That night in Hong Kong, it was a much dazzling experience. The Prizimmy did a fantastic performance and the five Hanna-Barbera stars also joined in by learning their acts and following their dance. Even Hong Kong Phooey enjoyed it, as he was holding a yellow umbrella in his hand.
In a hotel near the pro-democracy group Demosisto's headquarters, Ayami was glad that everyone had a wonderful day. Hong Kong Phooey and Secret Squirrel had helped them complete their rescue mission, and even Hong Kong Phooey wants to join in their group for protection. The group were tired but happy as they got Hong Kong Phooey as one of their group bodyguards.
"Mia is number one! Yay!" Mia cheered as she got onto the bed. Pixie and Dixie cheered along as they went on a pillow.
"Woohoo! Nice one, Mia!" shouted Mimmy. "Pixie and Dixie are really liking it!"
"Dixie, this is really fun here in Hong Kong! I wonder where are we going tomorrow?" asked Pixie.
"Since Naru is already safe, she can meet her friends along with Ann. I wonder where they are..." Pixie replied.
"Goodnight Pixie and Dixie! Hope to see Naru's friends tomorrow!" Mia said as she turned off the lights.
"Goodnight Mia and Mimmy!" Pixie and Dixie replied. They slept as they were ready for the next day to come, along with a new adventure awaiting them.
