Back in Boomerland, Charlie, Jessica and the kids were seated on a bus en route to the Daws Butler Woods.

"Boy it's pretty crowded don't you think?" Scooter asked the bus driver.

"Yeah," said the bus driver "What with this end of the world thing going on, more people are going to their favorite places to make their last day wonderful."

"Boy," said Yogi "Had I known the world was gonna end, I'd have given back every picnic basket I stole over the years."

"Gee, that's pretty generous of you, Yogi." Flim-Flam remarked. "Wonder how will Ranger Smith think of that?"

"I think he'll feel so touched" Boo-Boo remarked.

"And if I knew about the world ending, I'd have taken Desert Flower and the kids on a family outing." Huck added.

"I wish Suzie and the others were here," Nancy sniffed a tear "I'd spend my last several hours with my brothers and sisters if I knew about this."

Nancy started to sob and cover her face to hide her tears.

Without hesitation, Flim-Flam leaned over and placed his hand on her back to comfort her while her other siblings did the same. Nancy hugged Flim Flam and started crying on his shoulder silently. While he hugged and tried to comfort Nancy, Flim-Flam felt the resolve to cry as well due to his own history.

"Wow" said Flip "It's like Flim knows and understands Nancy's feelings."

"And he's empathizing with them so well" Charlie added.

Nancy looked at Flim-Flam with a sad, tearful look in her eyes and her face was a little red. Flim-Flam even had some tears falling out of his eyes as well.

"Well, at least I'm still here with you for our final hours, Nancy." Flim-Flam said.

"Thanks Flim Flam" Nancy hugged him "You're the best friend I ever had."

"You're welcome, Nancy" Flim wiped her tears.

Nancy smiled at Flim Flam and then kissed him on the cheek.

"Did you see what I just see?" Jessica asked as she and Charlie looked on.

"Yes, I believe I did" said Charlie.

"Oooohhh" said the other kids, mockingly.

Flim-Flam and Nancy paused their kissing and found themselves blushing heavily.

"Looks like Flim-Flam found himself a little sweetheart" Jessia giggled.

"That was really romantic." Yogi remarked.

"I haven't seen anything that mushy since Cindy kept trying to chase you down the river" Boo Boo told his friend.

"Talk about young love." Huck remarked.

"Okay everyone" said the bus driver "Here we are. Daws Butler Woods."

"Come everyone" said Charlie "We have to find and Mr. Jinks and his son."

Charlie, Jessica, Yogi, Boo Boo, Pixie, Dixie, Huck and the kids got off the bus and walked into the woods. Meanwhile on the bay, the Speed Buggy characters, Suzie and Anne were still on their way to the castle.

"Sp-sp-sp-sp-I'm so excited" Speed Buggy said "S-s-saving the world with my friends."

"Yeah," said Debbie "This is pretty cool."

Just then, the radio started to talk.

"S-s-somebody's calling" said Speedy.

"Speed Buggy gang" Dr. Quest's voice played over the radio "This is Dr. Quest."

"Dr. Quest, Tinker here." Tinker replied. "What's up?"

"Tinker, are you guys on your way to the castle?" Dr. Quest asked over the radio.

"Why yes sir" Tinker spoke into the speaker.

"Good" Dr. Quest spoke back "Cause there's...some...thing you should know...a...bout"

"What?" Mark spoke into the speaker "What is it?"

"There's...a...pl...a...fo" Dr. Quest's voice started to go static.

"Doc?" Mark spoke into the speaker "What's going on?"

Just then, the radio shut off.

"What just happened?" Anne asked Tinker.

"Well I'll be darned" Tinker put the speaker back in "The radio has lost its transmission."

"It must be because we're away from where we can get signals or all this darn fog" Debbie squinted her eyes.

"Well there's no turning back now" said Mark "We still need to find the others."

Back on the shore, Dr. Quest wasted no time trying to reach Fred.

"Fred!" He spoke into the radio "Dr. Quest calling Fred Jones. Can you read me?"

Back in the castle, Fred can hear his radio go off again.

"Fred! Dr. Quest calling Fred Jones. Can you read me?" The doctor's voice echoed from the radio.

"Yes, loud and clear, Doctor." Fred replied. "What is it?"

"Mark, Debbie, Tinker, Speed Buggy, Suzie and Anne are on their way to the island." Dr. Quest explained "But unfortunately, they are far from getting a signal and I can't warn them about the danger that lies on their way to the castle. So it looks like they're on their own for now."

"Uh, oh." Fred replied. "I hope they figure out the danger before it's too late."

"I hope so too." Dr. Quest nodded. "Dr. Quest over and out."

"Freddy," said Marcie "Who was that? What's going on?"

"That was Dr. Quest." Fred replied as he put the radio back. "Tinker, Speed Buggy, Mark, Debbie, Suzie and Anne are on their way to the island, but they're outside the radio signal range and can't receive his warning on the Fog of Love."

"Jinkies" said Velma "I hope they make it here."

"Me too" said Googie "Those sirens will stop at nothing."

"Guys," said Alan "Aren't you forgetting something? We have to find Mr. Van Ghoul!"

"Yes, we know that." Fred replied. "But we're also going to need someone at the shore to greet them in case they get lost."

"Only fools would go on a mission as brave and stupid as that." Henry said.

"I'll do it!" Stanley raised his hand.

"I rest my case" Henry sarcastically said.

"Then, be careful, Stanley." Velma nodded.

"And if you run into the others on your way out, fill them in." Fred added.

"Yes, sir." Stanley nodded as he mock-saluted him.

"I'd better go with him" Henry followed him "He is my little brother after all. And if he goes alone, he'll be helpless without me."

"Alright, boys." Marcie said. "Be careful."

"No problem Marc" said Stanley "With the Chan brothers around, you can always count on us!"

"A little less boasting and a little more, rescuing our sisters?" Henry grabbed Stanley's arms and took him out.

"Come on" said Googie "We have to get back on schedule! Where could Mr. Van Ghoul be hiding?"

"Beats me" Velma said "I only met the guy a few times and he never once used his magic the times I met him."

"Well, we better carry on, gang." Fred said. "I only hope Speed Buggy and his friends are alright."

"Now come on gang" Marcie said "We'd better split up."

"Right" Fred said "Googie and I will go to the east of the castle and the rest of you go to the west."

"Got it" Alan gave a thumbs up.

"I have always wanted to explore such a majestic building." Tom added.

Fred and Googie went to the east side of the castle and the others went to the west side to search for Mr. Van Ghoul.

Meanwhile, Charlie, Jessica and the kids were walking in the woods.

"How are we gonna find Mr. Jinks in these woods, Pop?" Scooter asked his father.

"Try asking Pixie and Dixie" Charlie suggested "They know more about him."

"Good idea Pop" Flip bent down to the mice "Pixie, Dixie do you guys know where we could find Mr. Jinks?"

"Well he did come here with his son to go fishing," said Pixie "So he must've taken him out into the bay to fish."

"How do you know he did that?" Jessica asked.

"Cause one of the boats is missing from the docks" Pixie pointed to a dock with a boat and one missing from the row.

"Then, we're going to have to take the other boat and search for him." Boo Boo said.

"There's only one boat and it can fit four of us" said Jessica "So Charlie, you, Yogi, Huck, Boo Boo and the mice will go searching for the cats."

"Alright." Charlie nodded before turning to the animal characters and added, "Off we go, boys."

They got into the boat. Just then, Chu-Chu jumped out of Mimi's arms and ran towards the boat.

"Look, guys" Nancy chuckled "Chu Chu wants to go too."

"No, Chu Chu" Mimi picked up her dog "You're staying with mama. "Got it?"

Chu Chu nodded his head.

"You're such a good boy" Mimi hugged Chu-Chu and then kissed him on the lips.

"Alright, boys." Charlie said. "Anchors away!"

And so, Charlie, Yogi, Boo Boo, Huck and the mice got into the boat and sailed to find Mr. Jinks. While on the other side of the bay, our other protagonists were on their way to find some of our other protagonists.

Author's Note:

Charlie's group and Fred's group are in the same place, it wouldn't surprise me if they ran into each other! But anyways, let's see what our heroes back in the DC Universe are gonna do to face up to the felons! Stay tuned!
