The next morning soon came. The others were ready to go back to London as the boat had arrived. The Fudo family were dressed up in their best suits and dresses as they had a meeting to go to to introduce Tarzan to the world.
"This is going to be great!" Darla smiled.
Patch and Atticus had a feeling this would not last long however. Terk and Tantor came out, but they stopped to see Tarzan was already leaving, and where they were too late to say goodbye. Terk was so frustrated by her anger and disappointment about Tarzan leaving.
"Tarzan, you can't imagine what's in store for you," Jane smiled to the feral man. "You're going to see the world and everyone's going to want to meet you. Kings, scientists, famous writers..."
"Along with Queen Victoria." Jessica added.
"And I haven't met her, but I hear she's awfully nice." Jane smiled.
"And I'll be with Jane?" Tarzan smiled back.
"Yes... With Jane..." Jane smiled sheepishly and giggled nervously.
This caused Jessica to smirk playfully. Tarzan then smiled as he helped Jane up on board since she had trouble due to the distraction from her crush on the feral man, and where after letting everyone else get on the boat, he soon got on board next.
"Easy does it..." Atticus helped Darla aboard.
"Thanks, Atticus." Darla smiled to her big brother's help.
Patch soon began to growl as he could tell something was wrong on board.
"I think we should be ready to fight." Atticus whispered to his dog.
Patch nodded in agreement as they then came up after Darla as Patrick and Emily helped her up, and where they soon saw the crew, looking ready to trap them. Atticus and Patch were the only ones not scared, Patrick was at first, but soon glared and growled.
"Let's toss these guys overboard." Atticus glared.
"I'm right behind ya, son." Patrick agreed.
Atticus smirked. "All right, father son match!"
The crew members glared and growled back at the boy, his dog, and his father. Patch was ready to fight off the crew members. Tarzan came up to see that they all had been betrayed and Clayton was the ring leader. And where he saw Atticus, Patch, and Patrick were handling the crew members.
"This kid and his mutt are stronger than they look!" One man complained to Clayton.
"Oh, for goodness sake!" Clayton groaned before he brought out his gun.
Patch flinched but then glared with a growl. Atticus grabbed the gun and twisted it in a knot to keep from bullets coming out that could harm any of them and he smirked to Clayton.
"Unbelievable." Clayton gasped.
"Not so tough now, are ya?" Atticus smirked.
Patch even came behind Clayton and bit him on the butt for extra abuse.
"Yow!" Clayton yelped.
Patrick laughed at this before he began to fight the others with Atticus. Tarzan yelled out as he tried to help out which alerted Terk and Tantor back in the jungle.
"There's no way they can defeat us." Patch smiled.
"We might need a bit of help..." Tarzan said to him.
"You think Terk and Tantor will come?" Jessica replied.
"I know they will..." Tarzan nodded before glaring angrily at Clayton as he went to escape with some conscious others to invade the jungle like they planned. "Clayton..."
"Why, that big jerk!" Jessica glared.
"Yes..." Jane narrowed her eyes in agreement.
The boat rocked slightly as Tantor climbed on.
"Elephants!" Darla cried out as they rocked back and forth slightly.
"Or just one." Emily said.
Tantor trumpeted with a smile to them all.
Patrick chuckled and shook Tantor's trumpet. "Reminds me of Colonel Hahti sometimes."
"We have to get back to the gorillas." Atticus said.
"I thought I would never see you again!" Terk cried out as she hugged Tarzan. "And here you are..."
Tantor then pulled Terk back by his trunk with a smirk. "Sometimes you embarrass me."
Tarzan soon got out of his attire as he made his way back into the jungle.
Kerchak made a stroll along the jungle until he sniffed some sort of trouble. Kala sighed sadly as she sat alone as she already missed Tarzan and felt heartbroken. Kerchak may not had liked Tarzan, but he felt sad since Kala was sad. There was soon a flare seen in the air. The gorillas began to panic and the evil humans had come to invade their home, and where they were surrounded by them with nets and guns and cages. Kerchak snarled as he went to avenge his family group, only to get shot with a net gun to hold him down. The gorillas all panicked as all hope looked lost for them.
"Moon Prism Power, Make-Up!" Darla's voice yelled out as there was a glow in the sky which made the men look up.
Darla was glowing like the sun and was now in her Sailor Scout form and glared at the men.
"Darla, what happened with your crystal?" Emily asked.
"I had a dream about Serena, she said that I would have to do this for the next stage." Darla replied.
"So then, your crystal must have changed." Emily smiled.
Darla smiled sheepishly before glaring at the bad guys.
"A little late for Halloween, ain't ya, brat?" One man scoffed.
"BRAT?!" Darla glared before using Moon Power against him.
"Yow!" The man yelped.
Darla smirked at the man she hit for calling her a brat.
"That'll teach you to mess with my little sister." Atticus huffed as he cracked his knuckles, ready to fight.
"This is gonna be fun." Patch smirked.
Atticus snapped pictures. "Boy, I really wish Cherry were here to see this." he then smirked in agreement.
"Let's join in the fun." Patch smirked.
Atticus smirked back and they yelled out and came for the bad guys as they attacked the innocent gorillas.
Kerchak broke out of his net only to be grasped by whips. He was soon saved by Tarzan. "You came back." he said to the feral man who was his foster son.
"I came home." Tarzan smiled to him.
Kerchak smiled back before seeing one of the evil men behind his foster son's back. He then shoved Tarzan out of the way and began to teach this man a lesson for trying to hurt him.
Three men were soon chased by Terk. She used shaving cream to make herself look like a rabid gorilla. She then smirked and wiped her mouth only to be cornered against the cage the three men were locked into as another man held a blade to end her life. Tantor then grabbed the man by his throat with his trunk and tossed him into the cage after Professor Porter called fire.
"It's good!" Patrick called out.
Jessica then helped Tarzan free the gorillas out of the nets they were trapped in.
Clayton noticed this happening. "You there! Take what you can back to the boat!" he then commanded men by Kala's cage.
"Aye, aye, sir!" The men nodded and walked off.
Patch's left ear came up and he turned his head. "Atticus, Clayton's back." he then told his owner.
"Oh, great." Atticus groaned.
"Does he have any weapons?" Patrick asked.
"I think he has a new gun." Patch replied.
Jane was soon shown swinging on a vine as she went to save Kala from the cage she was trapped in, and where she knocked down one of the men. The other man snarled as he came toward Jane, ready to hurt her.
However, the baby baboon from much earlier held Jane's umbrella as a weapon and wore her boot as a hat as it commanded the other baboons to attack the men. And where the baboons soon charged in to attack the man. The baby baboon came on to Jane's shoulder and kissed her cheek before going with the others. She soon heard Kala's gorilla grunts.
"Don't worry, I'm going to have you out of this in a second." she told the trapped female gorilla before grunting and groaning as she wasn't strong enough to open the cage.
Tarzan soon dropped down on top of the man about to knock Jane out with the crowbar in his hand.
"Right, this should do the trick." Jane smiled as she took the crowbar and used it to free Kala out of the cage, and where with that, she got the mother gorilla free from the cage.
Kala and Tarzan smiled to each other until Tarzan was hit by a near stab in the back from Clayton from behind. Kerchak saw what happened and wasn't going to let Clayton get away with that. Clayton looked surprised at first, but then gave Kerchak an even more fatal stab towards the gorilla.
Tarzan looked worried for his foster father, then glared at Clayton. "NO!"
"He'll pay for that." Atticus glared.
"Clayton, you-!" Jane glared at the hunting man until he shoved her down.
Atticus soon went straight up to Clayton. Clayton glared and held out his knife. Atticus dodged the blade as he moved quickly and swiftly before disappearing briefly and then jumping on the man's back to make him not kill Tarzan.
"I shall enjoy killing you, boy." Clayton glared.
"Maybe in your sickest and craziest dreams!" Atticus glared back.
Clayton soon tried to kill Atticus by stabbing him only for his blade to shatter.
Atticus smirked to Clayton. "Not so tough now, are ya?"
Clayton soon brought out his new gun, still afraid of what just happened. Atticus took out a sign with a metal screw and a baseball and gestured to Clayton. Clayton soon pointed the gun to Atticus's chest thinking he would be able to kill him. Atticus yawned as he tapped his foot.
"How dare you try to kill my little brother!" Jessica glared at Clayton.
Atticus soon grabbed the gun and tied it in a knot like he did with the first one with a smirk. Jessica then hit Clayton on the head with a rock which knocked him out.
"Whoa, did you just kill him?!" Atticus's eyes widened.
"I don't know and I actually don't care," Jessica replied. "He tried to kill you."
Atticus soon checked Clayton's pulse. Clayton soon grabbed onto his ankle to show that he wasn't dead yet.
"Just leave us alone before you get yourself killed or something!" Atticus told him.
"If I have to go, your'e going with me!" Clayton snapped.
Atticus soon knocked him out so he wouldn't be conscious for hours.
"Atticus..." Jessica whispered.
"What?" Atticus asked.
"He's... Not moving or breathing..." Jessica told her brother.
Darla ran over, still in her Sailor Moon dress as she grasped her Moon Staff.
Patch began to sniff the man. He then winced after a while.
"I killed somebody..." Atticus whispered in shock of himself. "Jessie, I'm sorry, don't be mad at me! He just made me mad, and I-"
Jessica soon stopped her little brother from talking as she knew he didn't mean to kill Clayton. She then gave him a hug. "It's okay, Atty, it's okay..."
"I'm so sorry, Jessie..." Atticus sniffled as he began to cry.
"Don't worry," Jessica comforted him. "I know you didn't mean to kill him."
"I'm so sorry..." Atticus sniffled.
"Shh... Shh..." Jessica soothed him as she stroked his hair before singing Athena's lullaby to comfort him.
There was soon rain coming down and where Kerchak didn't look like he was going to make it.
"Tarzan, are you okay?" Jessica asked her old friend from the jungle.
"I'm fine, are you all okay?" Tarzan asked.
"We're great, thanks to you all, but something in my heart is aching." Jessica replied.
They soon looked and saw Kerchak on the ground.
"I think I found out what it is..." Jessica sounded horrified.
Kala was patting Kerchak in comfort and the other gorillas looked at him as it looked likely that his time had come. Tarzan was now making his way to Kerchak. Jane frowned as she knew exactly how Tarzan felt. Tarzan and Kala briefly comforted each other before he then came closer to his gorilla foster father.
"Tarzan..." Kerchak uttered out.
"Please forgive me." Tarzan begged.
'This can't be happening.' Patch thought to himself.
"No..." Kerchak breathed shallowly to the feral man. "Forgive me for not understanding that you have always been one of us. Our family will look to you now."
"No, Kerchak..." Tarzan frowned grimly.
"Take care of them... My son..." Kerchak told Tarzan, gently putting his hand on his shoulder. "Take care of them..." And where soon enough, his last breath was heard.
Darla was now crying and Jessica held her close in comfort. Tarzan was now going to be the new leader of the gorillas. Kala was the most upset, but this had to be done, it was only the course of nature, and where, as Tarzan as the new leader of the gorillas, it meant that he could not go to London with the humans. This was very hard for Jane since she had fallen in love with Tarzan.
