Chapter 16) Trouble With The Rescue?

Soon we see what's happening to those that have been captured? The Winged Wolves of Darkness were leaving the haunted forest, taking to the skies with only the captures of Cathy, her dog; Toto, and of course to our surprise, the Freelance Police?

"WAAAAuughhh….." Cathy was still screaming while being taken away by two winged wolves holding her arms and wrist to prevent escape.

"WAAAAHHHH-AAAAaaahahhahah?" Suddenly a louder scream was heard that cut off Cathy's scream for all eyes to look at the one making the noise was….a whiny and freaked out Max? "Gulpvhmm…." Then Max slapped his right free arm against his mouth to cut out the sounds of his wailing noise? "Woopsy? Too much screaming? Must've got lost in the whole thing?" He looked around in seeing that he was getting 'too' much attention from his little outburst?

"And lord knows why you tried screaming like a girl?" Sam shook his head from looking above at seeing what his partner was doing, was an utter mystery?

"Well now, it looks like we win this round?" The first dog minion exclaimed from flying near the captives they have taken uphold.

"Indeed, once you meet Hecate, is all but over!?" The second dog minion stated out that once the group meets Hecate, it'll be over soon.

"Nrrughhh….?" Max struggled to get out of one winged wolf's grip, but was having no fare luck? "If you think I'm quitting now, then you don't know me as a hyper-active maniac lune that pull off crazy and stupid stunts!" Max was complaining out to the wolves that were flying them to the witch's castle that the Freelance Police are far from calling it quits now.

"It's true, he does? Show him Max!" Sam nodded to the two loyal minions of Hecate that what Max said was no lie, and now it's time to prove it.

"With pleasure?" Max responded with a wicked and sly expression, like he's going to do something that'll be sweet justice to him. "Ahhh..CHOMP!" Then no later without delay, Max went to bite his teeth on his captive's paw.

"AWwwooovhmmm….?" That winged wolf yelped before letting Max go to hold his wounded paw while leaving the rabbit in the dust.

"Freedom!" Max smiled to cheer, but that was cut short from realizing…he was in the air and without someone to fly for him? "Uh-oh? Wooh?" Max yelped out before he was falling from above cause without anyone giving him a lift, and no wings, only opinion left is to….fall?

"Bahmm…" Then Max, as luck would so have it, fell and landed right on something beneath him.

"Awwoovhmm…?" Max had landed on the winged wolf holding Sam and since he was on the head part, the rabbit quickly covered the fliers eye sights?

"Hang on Sam!" Max called below to his partner in letting him know to wait for him, since he got some control over Sam's captive flier.

"Like I got a choice?" Sam shouted out from below in rhetorically stating he's got no choice but to keep holding on or else he'll risk falling from the sky?

"I'll drive this guy, by blinding him!" Max declared out, as he had covered the winged wolf's eyes by his feet and grabbed his ears by the hands to use as control sticks.

"Oh no Max, don't try that-AAahahahaAAAaaaahhh!" Sam was about to tell his partner not to do that, but too late, cause he was screaming from Max….DRIVING A WINGED WOLF IN THE AIR?

Soon Max was piloting his ride on the winged wolf with Sam screaming for his own near to dear life? If there's one thing anyone should know, it's that putting Max behind any wheel or driving object, equals mass Chaos? And right now, Max was flying the Winged Wolf in a loop-de-loop pattern?

"Is that rabbit insane?" The first dog minion asked shocked in seeing such terrible behavior and flying maneuvers were that of a lune?

"Completely insane, I say?" The second dog minion stated off in agreeing that Max's personality was that of an insane person to believe it.

"WAAAguuhhh!/WEeeeeeh!" Sam was screaming while Max was cheering from when they turn their flying wolf around curve turn in the clouds?

"Okay, I'm taking controls here!" Sam flipped up on the winged dog after that last stunt to sit up right and took control from Max by the ears?

"Awww, I was having fun?" Max pouted in seeing that his chance of driving something was now shot down, even if it was alive?

"Save it, we're coming up near Cathy now!?" Sam sternly hushed while he instructed his partner to hurry up and help in the plan to rescue Cathy.

"Alright, fair tread? You drive, and I'll get the girl?" Max smiled and nodded in agreeing to what his partner was asking of him to do now.

"Another lousy pun remark like that and you'll end up scaring me, little buddy?" Sam shook his head in stating that more puns that terrible from Max may just be almost as scary as letting Max drive?

At this time, Cathy was still in the arms or paws of her winged wolf captives.

"Ooohhh, Ooooh no?" Cathy was yelping from her held captives by her arms while looking down at how far it is to the ground? "WAaaughh?" Then she made a scream that happened, just as Sam and Max piloted their winged wolf pass it's two brethren and swiped away the alien girl.

"Awwoovhhmm…?" Both winged wolves responded completely puzzled and confused that they lost their hold on the captive girl?

"They taken the girl?" The first dog minion exclaimed in shock that Cathy was rescued from their clutch hold?

"And the Ruby Slippers?" The second dog minion stated that the items on the girl were also taken from their hold too?

"STOP THEM!" Both wolf minions shouted which made the two winged wolves look back at the Freelance Polices' direction to chase after them.

At this time, Sam was piloting the blind winged wolf while Max used his legs to wrap around the wolf's body to reach down to save Cathy. But during the rescue, Cathy grip her arms around Max's neck which almost was choking him

"Augh…umm….what?" Cathy held on with her eyes shut and soon saw that she was….with friends?

"Hello Cathy?" Sam waved down to the girl in showing that the Freelance Police are here for Cathy.

"We're here to save you!" Max exclaimed while using his hands to hold the girl's back to ease the travel in the air.

"Ohhh, Sam & Max? Thank goodness?" Cathy signed in smiling relief, she was with friends and saved at last? "For a second, I feared I…?" But that moment was spoiled when from out of nowhere, a blur of two winged wolves swooped down and….swiped away the girl from her rescuers. "WAaauughhh?" Cathy soon made a screaming cry while the blank Max saw that, he was no longer holding Cathy anymore?

"What the Mississippi Dessert Ark?" Sam exclaimed off shock to seeing something happened under their watch, literally even?

"She's been wolf-napped…..Again?" Max stated from a gasp shock expression while looking over to see where Cathy went off to?

"AAAauughhh?" Cathy screamed out from her arms being held by the two winged wolves that took the girl back. "Aguh-Augh, Heeelp!" Cathy cried out with her shock face, afraid to be going with these creatures?

"Hold on Cathy, we're coming!" Sam looked back with a stern face before pulling the winged wolf the coppers have control of to turn around to pursuit.

"Weeeheheheeeeeh!" Max cried out from riding a wide ride that was doing circle spin motions in the air? Something about the ride with the Winged Wolf of Darkness seem to almost look like the creature was trying to resist the Freelance Police's control?

"Don't let them rescue the girl or retrieve the slippers!" The first dog minion issued a sternly upset command in what they must do to stop the Freelance Police, or face the angry fury of Hecate for bumbling this?

"If matters are to be taken, then just throw them off!" The second dog minion issued off that they may as well lose the troublesome Freelance Police, so in order to keep Cathy & the Ruby Slippers for Hecate's sake.

At that issued, the winged wolf that the Freelance Police rode on, got it's sight back when he saw pass Sam's feet no longer blinding him or Max's feet.

"Awooovhhmm!" The winged wolf had signaled the others before leaping up and used it's tail to wrap Sam up and toss him off of him without realizing it.

"WAAauughhh!" Sam screamed from falling from above to pass Max that he was falling towards his doom, and without a parachute.

"Sam!" Max looked down to his partner puzzled in what happened, only to look up at an angry wolf at his face. "Uh-oh?" Max yelped in suddenly realizing, that this could spell trouble for the copper duos day?

"AWoovhmm!" The winged wolf growled off before grabbing Max in his paws and tossed him off. "Fruuvhmmm…." Then with that, the winged wolf thrown Max off him too, in the act of where Sam went off.

"WAAAaauughh…" Sam was screaming while the scene changed to a creepy river near the haunted forest? "Splasvhmm…" Then as luck would have it, the K-9 detective landed in the water that soften his impact landing? "AAAahhhh…." Then came Max's scream in following the same act as Sam before…. "Splasvhmm…." Yep, he too splashed into the water like his partner did before him?

"GAAaauughhh!" Then both Freelance Police members jumped out of the water surface while screaming to avoid…A CROCODILE? "SNAPPfruvhmmmm…." Which luckily, the duo avoided the gator's jaw trying to bite them. "WAaaughh…." The copper duo screamed while they were fleeing the scene across the water surface without looking back? "Smashed…" Which since they failed to watch where they aware going, ram straight into a dark wall structure? "Auuugghh?…YIKES!" From their moans, the Freelance Police slipped off the wall pavement, but yelped from being over the water, but as luck had it, there was a rope line for the two to grab.

"Heheheheheh-heeeehh!" Suddenly, a familiar evil cackle was heard that signaled the Freelance Police.

"That's the witch, Hecate's voice?" Sam exclaimed off in looking to Max in recognizing that voice all too well, the witch was close by if they heard that evil laugh?

"I recognize that old bat's voice anywhere? But where are we?" Max stated off in knowing that was Hecate alright before asking puzzled in where they are?

"Where do you think we are, Mister Tour-Guild?" Sam remarked off to his partner that where they are is pretty obvious by now, the only place an evil witch would be at?

Soon the entire scene was zoomed out in showing that where what we see, is Hecate's entire castle of darkness. From the hour of the night time, this castle is seen as build over a mountain range over a large lake? Surrounded by canyon walls in the back where it seems impossible to sneak up or down below the place from where the center fortress is build. The erie river lake was below the palace where only so little land was for anyone to try to swim or walk across the flooring patterns without being seen? The only ways to the castle was a long cross bridge connected by the large landmass over the waters of the river and the structure of the hill was not sturdy enough for much climbing. But across that rocky road was the castle gate where it's drawbridge was seen to keep any on the little spot from coming in with a deep drop, unless any can fly? Truly, this was a place none would be so courageous to charge in here without facing certain doom or have much less hope of escape?

"Okay, seeing this place now makes me wet myself even more?" Max responded in surprise to see where they are is in a lot more trouble then they were before knowing their location?

"Save it, Max! We need to climb up and find Cathy?" Sam snapped to his partner that they need to focus in saving their friend then taking up on the view?

"And Toto too!" Max added up to remind his partner about saving the alien girl's dog too, after all.

"Yes, Toto too, Max!?" Sam nodded in simply responding to his partner's antics, it's a habit of Max to point out things they may have not mentioned or added in their fair share of work.

Soon the Freelance Police had determined faces, and were climbing up the walls of the witch's castle by the little rope line they have. After much climbing, the Freelance Police reached some balcony's window where there was no glass, so they peeked in with caution? And they soon saw what was transpiring right here? Cathy with Toto in her arms was now standing before….Hecate, along with her two loyal winged dog minions inside the witch's chamber.

"What a nice little dog?" Hecate stated in her shrew way, as Cathy kept a hold of Toto.

"Grrruvhhmm?" Toto growled at the witch before, Hecate swiftly reached out and took him from Cathy.

"Gugh, noooo!" Cathy yelped out in shock in seeing what Hecate was doing to her dog. "Oh Toto? Ooohhh?" Cathy tried to reach for Toto, but Hecate threw Toto into an open basket which her two winged dog minions stood by and closed it afterwards.

"Basket secured, mistress." The first dog minion exclaimed with a sly smile that they've taken the little dog alien captive.

"One caged pup, as instructed." The second dog minion stated that with this, Toto is now kept under lock without escape.

"As for you, my dear?" Hecate turned her attention towards the worried Cathy with her right index finger pointing at her. "What an unexpected pleasure?" Hecate exclaimed off with a sly expression while a nervous Cathy backed away from her, as the two winged dogs carried the basket that held Toto off from where they were. "It's so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness?" Hecate rhetorically stated in seeing that Cathy came here, and made a sarcastic remark of the girl visiting her.

All while Cathy baked away while nervously looking around the room, even to see the basket that Toto was kept in brought behind her.

"Wuuagh-Aaaugh?" Cathy was gasping from being pushed a bit backwards, but when she turn to look at the door leading out, Hecate's two loyal winged wolves blocked the way with wicked sly expressions.

"Ah, ah, ah now? No leaving yet?" The first dog minion teased off in a sly remark in having Cathy not be going anywhere…yet?

"We wouldn't want that, now would we?" The second dog minion remarked in playfully stating the girl has no choice in the matter.

The Freelance Police nearly yelped in wide eye surprise at what's happening. They have Cathy in a corner, they got Toto in a basket, the alien girl is believing to be all alone now?

"Sam, we need to do something?" Max whispered to his crime fighting pal that they need to do something about the situation, but what it was…they don't know?

"Wait a minute Max, let's see how this plays out before jumping in between?" Sam held up his arm in holding Max off from trying to jump at the wrong time.

"But I like jumping in between?" Max whined out a bit noisy in liking it better when he interrupts others in discursive moments.

"Hush!" Sam sternly hushed his partner before the rabbit ends up getting them caught.

"What are you going to do to my dog?" Cathy looked to Hecate with a nervous and scared expression in feeling concern for her pet and friend? "Huuagh…" She took a breath to help her out before speaking to the unfeeling witch. "Give him back to me!" Cathy spoke with a stern-fold demand in wanting her dog return to her, as she tried to muster all her courage?

"All in good time, my little beauty?" Hecate explained with a sly and calm demeanor while Cathy looked back in feeling concerns for Toto before staring at the witch's face. "All-ahahahaall….in good time?" Hecate wiggled her fingers in stating that all will be done in the right time to do it.

"Hugh…." Cathy took another breath in feeling very worried and concern for her dog's safety? "Oh please? Give me back my dog?" Cathy was now begging this witch to return her friend Toto to her, she didn't care as long as her dog was safe?

"Certainly? Certainly?" Hecate responded in a false-like claim while wigging her left hand up which Cathy tried to calm herself, but still felt no safety in the place she's in? "But only when you give me those Slippers!" Hecate pointed down at Cathy's feet, stating that she'll let Toto go, but only when the alien girl gives the witch…the Ruby Slippers.

Cathy looked down in seeing that the slippers Hecate wanted were the ones that belong to Ta-She, the former Witch of the East and given to her by the good Witch of the North, Aphrodite.

The Freelance Police yelped again, fearing that if Cathy gave into such a demand, Hecate would gain the Ruby Slippers powers…whatever they are?

"But the good Witch of the North, Aphrodite told me not to?" Cathy looked up to Hecate to sadly disagree that she made a promise to never take the slippers off.

"Very well?" Hecate shook her hands to Cathy with a grumpy look in seeing the girl was not cooperating with her. "You two!" Hecate went over to her two dog minions and pointed up her right hand in about to give them an order. "Throw that basket into the river and drown the mutt!" Hecate issued an order to have her minion k-9s drop the trapped Toto in a basket into the river where he would drown without a way to escape a trapped basket being locked?

"URrvhmmm…?" Toto was heard making moan while the two evil winged wolf minions showed his innocent face before…shutting the basket with wicked expressions to frighten Cathy.

"It shall be done without delay!" The first dog minion nodded with a sly smile in hearing and willing to obey Hecate's cruel and nasty given order.

"Just like the last one with the rabbit?" The second dog minion stated off in recalling a similar incident, which made Cathy gasp in hearing the discussion be about her friends; The Freelance Police?

"GAaauughhh!" Sam and Max gasped in shocking alarm of that dastardly deed to look at the other? "Grrrr…./Urrrgh?" Pretty much, those low growls were from Sam and Max, feeling insulted by what was happening. The first was simply that these villains were gonna throw a sweet dog into the river water to drown & had the 'nerve' to upset the copper duo in being reminded of what they went through.

"Nooo!" Cathy shouted in panic and overly concerns in hearing what the Witch of the West was planning on doing. "No! No, no please! Here?" Cathy grab Hecate's left arm, making the witch look to her before the girl lets go in saying this in a pleading manner that sounded like a broken heart crying out. "You can have your own slippers, but just give me back Toto! He's all I have from home and with my family!?" Cathy stood on a step behind the crystal ball and beg that Hecate just take her slippers, as long as she gets Toto back safely.

"That's a good little girl." Hecate spoke with a pleased expression to see Cathy has decided to give up to her and the slippers she holds. "I knew you see reason?" Hecate exclaimed forth before bending down to reach for Cathy's slippers.

"BRezizizivhhmmm…." But the moment Hecate's hands came close to touching the slippers, they unleashed a strong yellow spark volt? "GAAAAaaahahahrruuaaaghh?" Hecate yelped out a painful scream that was zapping her hands from being in near contact of the slippers? "Uuuagh?…Uuaaggh?" Hecate was holding her hands up in pain, inspecting them for magical burns while Cathy looked to the witch in concerns of being puzzled to what happened?

"Mistress?" The winged wolves called out in surprise, unsure what just happened and that made them worried in confusion?

The Freelance Police watched this in surprise, what just happened during that moment?

"What in the world just happened there?" Sam asked out completely surprised that the witch couldn't get the slippers off from Cathy's feet suddenly?

"I don't know? But I wanna see the witch fry herself again!?" Max responded off with a smile in wanting Hecate to torture herself by doing that stunt again.

"Oh I'm so sorry?" Cathy apologized for the sudden situation that took place during the attempt to remove the slippers?

"Gaaughh…?" Hecate hissed at Cathy while holding her burned hands up to the girl, almost believing Cathy did it to stop from seagoing the slippers?

"I didn't do it?" Cathy spoke cautiously in saying that this was not her fault, as she was innocent to the whole event thing?

"Gaaauuuughhh?" Hecate made a gasp from feeling the pain beginning to dawdle away now, feeling her hands recovery.

"Can I still have my dog, Toto?" Cathy asked in praying that she'll still get Toto back, even if Hecate failed to get the slippers? To bad that's an answer that won't be good news in this case?

"NOooowh!" Hecate snapped loudly at Cathy with an upset face seen that the witch was not going to do such a nice thing, even now. "Urrrgh….Foolish I am? I let it slip my mind?" Hecate snarled off in exclaiming this part about herself being foolish for some unknown reason? "I should have remembered?" Hecate exclaimed that she forgot something very important which concerns what has taken place here, unable for her to gain the Ruby Slippers?

"Ooohhh?" Cathy yelped a bit in concern and worry of what this means, as Hecate looked to her doorway where her two minions were before looking back at the nervous girl. Sam and Max paid close attention to hear what was about to be said here?

"Those Slippers will never come off?" Hecate exclaimed off to point out that the Ruby Slippers can't come off since they are on Cathy, but… "As long…as you're alive?" Hecate pointed her index finger in stating that so long as Cathy is alive, the Ruby Slippers cannot come off. Cathy just stood there puzzled and confused, what did this mean?

The Freelance Police heard this in surprise to realize what this might just mean for Cathy's situation now?

"Sam, what does that mean?" Max asked his partner in what Hecate was even talking about Cathy being alive, so the slippers can never come off?

"On the good side by my best guess, Hecate can't get the slippers?" Sam simply put these things into words to tell Max on what the situation looks like to them?

"And the bad news is…?" Max asked off in wondering if that was the good news Sam explained, then what's the bad news to ruin this state?

"Hecate can get them…but then Cathy won't be so lucky to live to tell about it?" Sam said this with a grim feeling that was shown all over him, in what he said didn't sound too pleasant?

"You mean...?" Max asked out with a fearful expression, could it be that…?

"Kisisivhm…." Sam made a pretend slice the neck noise, not too loud to get them caught, but enough to have Max get the picture. Hecate intends to kill Cathy, by the same method the girl used that killed Ta-She, the former owner of the Ruby Slippers, so the item in question will belong to the next owner…in theory?

"We need to do something?" Max exclaimed out that the copper duo have to do something or Cathy is as good as finished?

"I have a plan Max, but first, you're small size will help?" Sam stated with a determined look to state that with Max's aid, they have a shot for something? "Sneak in there and free Toto, without that, the witch won't have the hostage advantage." The K-9 knew that charging in unannounced would not only put Cathy in danger, but they use the threaten the little dog trick to really sink low to harm a defenseless dog. And Sam can't have that, being apart of the K-9 species and all that stuff?

"Right, I'm on it!" Max declared out before climbing on the edge of the balcony and slipped himself behind the covers and the furniture without being seen?

"But that's not what's worrying me? With the Slippers staying on their owner while they are alive and well?" Hecate exclaimed out from thinking things a bit more on her wicked mind? "It's how to do it? Removing the Ruby Slippers from the owner that's still alive, needs to be dealt with solution?" The witch exclaimed with a shrew and sly expression in saying 'how' she's going to finish off Cathy. "Especially...to a Rapzodian child?" What the witch said caught pretty much, anyone that knew Cathy off guard.

"Huugh…you…you know of them? I mean..of me being?" Cathy yelped in shock, not believing this witch knew she was not human to begin with; but an alien?

"An alien? Yes! And while you're species are tough from outside Oz, here, you're the same as a poor Earthlin child." Hecate exclaimed in stating with a wicked expression in knowing about Cathy being alien and knowing very much of ways to finish off even a Rapzodian.

"Oh great, now she knows about aliens too?" Sam slapped his forehead in disbelief that Hecate knows who Cathy really is now, an alien Rapzodian? "Better pick up the paste, Max?" The dog silently whispered off to his little buddy sneaking around the room, they really gotta pick up the paste here.

"I'm moving as quietly as I can, I'm a rabbit, not a mouse?" Max whispered back while trying to sneak a bit through the curtains to inch closer to where the winged wolves are.

"Now, the part of you being alive and how to do it, let's see?" Hecate muttered to herself from marching around the room while unaware of Max's stealth presence. "These things must be done delicately?" Hecate exclaimed out from wiggling to clasping her hands together in how to finish off Cathy, who is a Rapzodian, will need to be precise planning. "Or you'll hurt, the spell?" The witch knew that if she messes up, any spell to be cast onto Cathy won't work right and so it takes a lot of perfect calculations.

Soon at that moment, Max had reached the basket where it was guarded by the two dog minions that held Toto trapped inside.

"Hmm, do you notice something?" The first dog minion asked puzzled in looking down from where Max was before hiding out of sight later?

"Hmm, I don't believe so?" The second dog minion shook his head 'no', as he didn't while not noticing Max moving away behind some hourglass.

"Aruuff-aruffvhmm…" Toto's muffled cries were heard, and just as Max snuck behind the basket to see the lock on the item itself.

"Easy little guy, Max will save you?" Max whispered to calm the little dog in the basket, letting him know that he's going to help Toto out of that basket; no sweat.

No later did Max unlock the lock on the basket, giving Toto his freedom. "Arruffhm-Arruffvhm!" Toto barked from coming out of the basket to see that he was given his freedom. "Gruffruvhmm-Rufuvhm…." Then from looking back at Cathy, the dog quickly ran for the door.

"Run Toto! RUN!" Cathy shouted to her dog which made Hecate and her two winged dog minions look back to notice, Toto was escaping out the doors.

"Catch him, you fools!" Hecate lashed out angrily against the two minions for letting that dog escape when under their watch.

"Wooh, at your command?" The first dog minion yelped in witnessing the witch was getting upset and that's not a good thing to see.

"We shall oblige?" The second dog minion responded humbly to Hecate's wish before setting himself up to take leave as well.

Both winged wolves quickly got their wings flapping to move, as Hecate run around her table to the left and Cathy went to the right. But none saw Max duck under a cloth to hid himself, so that the witch didn't see him while Sam sign at seeing how ridiculous Max was looking?

~

The scene changes to Toto running down some stairs from the chamber room while the two dog minions tried to move quickly, but weren't quick enough on the dog's head start?

"He's got too much a head start?" The first dog minion stated out in noticing that the heads up speed that alien dog has gotten, they'll not catch it in time?

"Close the gate's drawbridge! Don't let him escape!" The second dog minion issued out to the castle's Moblin guards to close the drawbridge, hoping they can seal off it's escape.

"Crukfruvhmcrucvhmcrufhvmmm…." The scene shows a drawbridge raising up itself to cut off any passage going in or out of the castle? But Toto manage to run quick enough to run up it and stop at the top to look down in how far it is to drop to the bottom.

"There it is!" A Moblin showed up, followed by more Moblins carrying spears, each to come up to the trapped dog on the drawbridge rising up.

"Grugrugrugraaaahhh!" Just when the Moblins were almost about to strike, Toto jumped off the drawbridge, landed on some land.

"Run Toto! RUN!" Cathy's voice was heard again which Toto tilted his head up at the girl's call and issued request?

"Get him!" One Moblin issued to the other Moblins before they tried throwing spears at the escapee dog.

All those spear throwing the Moblins were doing, were only missing Toto, as he was on more solid ground to start running.

"Run Toto! RUN!" Cathy cried out her voice with her dog running away as fast as he could, all to get away from this place by the alien girl's wishes.

Many spears laid where they missed the dog, as Toto was last seen running over near a rocky hill spot, jumped up before vanishing pass that.

~

“Huuaaggh…" Cathy breathed a bit at ease in seeing Toto made it out. "He got AWAY!" Cathy exclaimed from near tears of relief, even pounding her left hand on the balcony. "He got away!" Cathy exclaimed in being so happy to see that at least Toto manage to make it out okay. Unknown to Cathy, Sam was ducking down so that neither her or Hecate noticed he was here?

"GOoouughhh…." Hecate growled with her hands close to her mouth with one on top of the other in being furious to see someone escaped? "Which is more then you will!" Hecate pointed her right finger in exclaiming in her fury to the nervous Cathy staring at her, that the girl will not be as lucky as her dog for escaping the witch. "Blast you and your dog!" Hecate held her hands up in almost about to choke the nervous girl in cursing Cathy and Toto. "You've been more trouble to me then you're worth! One way or another!" Hecate pointed to exclaim how much Cathy and Toto are being more trouble then the witch wants to deal with. "Such cause for trouble, I've seen only in those morons you hang with, the Freelance Police!" She exclaimed forth in making a valued point of who else has been trouble for Hecate.

"Grugurugrugh?" Max growled in hearing that, but kept his voice silent so that that he couldn't be spotted?

"Something tells me that her behavior is very much like Miss. Deville?" Sam grumbled under his breath in feeling that this witch was very much like that person Cathy knows from her home?

"Sam & Max aren't morons!?" Cathy tried to be brave and protest in defending those that have become the girl's friends, even since arriving in Oz with them.

"QUIET!" Hecate shouted to silence Cathy which the alien girl yelped a bit in fear. "It's also thanks to you and those bumbling Freelance Police fools, that made six ponies from that village my sister, Ta-She ruled with fear had the nerve to aid you?" The wicked Witch of the West stated in recalling the Mane Six joining Cathy's group because of what the girl & the Freelance Police did in ridding the Witch of the East. "They're just like their Royal Pony Sisters, doing what's right, but they'll meet the same fate!" Hecate remarked off dryly in feeling that in time, she'll deal with the six ponies that dare to go against her.

"You couldn't…they wanted to only be my friends and were nice to help me?" Cathy shutter out in exclaiming what the Mane Six that came along with her group were only trying to do was help them out?

"Nice folks finish last, girly?" Hecate remarked off to Cathy in stating that being nice and friendly, makes anyone an easy prey. "But it will soon be over NOW!" Hecate snapped off to the girl before leaving Cathy's side for a moment.

During the moment the witch went over to get something, the cloth Max hid under moved closer in front of the basket spot near Cathy.

"Psssh, Cathy, down here!" Max whispered loudly enough and wave a tiny hand up with a smile to get the girl's attention.

Cathy was almost in newly near tears, but when she looked down to see Max….she felt a moment of relief joy? She was told that while the Mane Six escaped, the Freelance Police fell into the river, but looks like they survived. But then the girl's attention return to the witch in having something to show her?

"Do you see that!" Hecate lifted up with a wicked grin expression, as she showed Cathy a golden hourglass with red sands in it? "That's how much longer you got to be alive?" Hecate exclaimed before turning the hourglass upside-down in which the sands flipped to start pouring from the top to the bottom in telling how long Cathy will live. "And it isn't long, my beauty?" Hecate stated out with a shrew tone which left Cathy staring with a shocked and near to tears again in realizing what this means? "It isn't long? Even for an alien like you, you're now…..a weak normal creature before the powerful?" Hecate repeated herself while Cathy felt more afraid and scared to know her situation, and that's how long she's got to live? Sam watched this from behind the balcony and was shocked to see that Hecate was pulling a stunt like this to frighten Cathy. "I can't wait forever to get those shoes!" Hecate snapped at the alien girl in knowing she will not wait any longer to get what Cathy has, so she'll toy with the girl….before making off with the goods.

"Okay, when the witch leaves, Sam & me will sneak you out & then…." As Max was silently explaining himself to reassure Cathy that they are here to help out when…. "Frusuvhmm…" Suddenly, the cloth that hid Max underneath was picked right off of his head? "Hugh? What the…oh no?" Max yelped in surprise, but got worried to look up at what's going on and was afraid to know and he was right?

For no sooner did the one that unveiled the hiding Max under the cloth was Hecate, as she held her broomstick in seeing the rabbit.

"Well, a white rabbit has come to play after surviving the river? Wanna play a little game of ball, Max?" Hecate exclaimed in knowing it was Max, as she asked with a wicked expression of smirking in how she'll deal with this pest.

"Ehehn, I guess hiding under that cloth near Cathy was NOT, my better ideas of pulling off an escape route?" Max chuckled and smiled nervously in seeing that he's been busted, and now Hecate knows he's here in the flesh. "I think I hear my partner calling me, so…?" The rabbit was waving goodbye and was planning to dash his way out of this, but...?

"Smack-smack!" Hecate was trying to smack her broomstick on Max, by he was dodging pretty quickly? "URRarugh!" Hecate groaned out in annoyance in seeing this rabbit was causing trouble, even to nearly make her hit her own hourglass? "Smackvhmm…Smackvhm…." Max ran around the hourglass on his left to dodge another of the witch's strikes and ran over to the other side? "Claspvhmm…." Until finally, Max wasn't careful that allowed Hecate to whack his behind with her broomstick, and out over to her balcony.

"Oh no? MAX!" Sam yelped out in seeing his partner was endanger and the K-9 detective had to act fast? "Gotcha!" Sam reached up his arms, and caught Max that was shot out of the chamber room, but didn't noticed that in doing so, sent him off too?

"Few, thanks Sam? For a second, I thought I would have gone swimming again?" Max looked up to his partner that held him in smiling for the nice save since below them was another river.

"Don't mention it, now let's get…?" Sam almost replied when the dog looked down to noticed something? "Um….Max, I think we just pulled a cartoon gag?" Sam stated in just realizing the foolish thing that both dog and rabbit have pulled?

"The one where we're over non-solid ground and we could fall from noticing it?" Max dryly stated in getting the picture of noticing where they are and what they are doing which leads to an obvious event step?

"Oh yeah, that's the one?" Sam nodded in assuring Max that that's the case alright, as things were quiet for the moment….

"AAAahhhhh!" Then both Freelance Police yelled out a screaming cry while a fire alarm noise was heard in the background. The copper duo then did another impossible odd event, as they were running in the air to go back the way they came? "WAAAuughhh!" Both Sam and Max were screaming, as they were dropping at a fast paste from trying to go back where they were. "SCrrisivhmmm.../Cluspvhm…." Then as luck would have it, Sam and Max managed to dig their fingers into the concrete off the witch's balcony with a few noises and a smack to the bottom of the wall side.

"Well now that was a lucky thing we had those manicure nails done? Make the perfect claws to scale walls with?" Sam responded with a sign of relief smile to look at his partner that they made it back?

"Few, that's a relief to hear? At least that's over?" Max also sign in relief before exclaiming that the worst was past them..or was it?

"Creakvhm-creackvhmm…." Of course, both coppers looked up to notice that the brick concrete they held onto had broken from the rest?

"Uh-oh….that can't be good?" Max slowly yelped in realizing this little situation got turn on them, and they're about to face worst ends meet?

"Way to jinx us, Smart-Allic?" Sam dryly remarked with a stern face in seeing what Max had gone and done now, was jinx their chances.

"WAAAAuughhh…?" Then the Freelance Police were soon dropping from above the balcony to head for the ground while screaming….again?

"SAM! MAX!" Cathy cried out before rushing over to the spot where the Freelance Police were at, but they were already gone from view?

"That's the last of them? It's a 100 story drop from here?" Hecate remarked off towards Cathy from approaching her to tell the girl with her sly expression that this was clearly the end moment of the Freelance Police. "I'll come back for you, just as soon as those 'sands' run out?" Hecate pointed her free hand at the nervous and concern Cathy in when she'll return to meet the girl again. "Haaa-hahahahah..." Hecate laughed in her wicked cackle before heading over to her chamber's double doors.

"Cluspvhmmm…." Soon, the witch shut the doors and then a locking noise was heard to keep them sealed and leaving Cathy…all alone in the witch's chambers?

"Hum…gagh-humm…?" Cathy started to breakdown, feeling alone, scared, and frighten? "Guhm, hughmm…." The poor girl felt so lost, confused, and more helpless then ever, even with her restrain alien abilities keeping her normal before her curious mind looked at how much sand was left in the hourglass?

The scene shows the sands pouring, as time was running out for Cathy by the rate of the pouring minutes?

Now Cathy was moving a bit in looking around the room that she was trapped in? "Gupvhm-Hummmpvhm?" Cathy was beginning to feel like crying, as she tried to hold herself near a chair by the crystal ball until… "Gupvhm-HUrrmmvhmm…, Gupvhmmm-Hummm?" She dropped to sit on the ground, feeling completely like crying in being terrified of what's happening to her, even in her weaken state? "After all this adventure? My time on Earth? Being an MBC? Being a Rapzodian? I thought I had nothing to fear from everything I've lived through, but…?" She held her right hand to her mouth, as almost like she was biting her nails? "Guvhmm…Gaugh-Huumm…?" The girl turned away to lay her head against the elbow rest of the stone chair to cry on? "I'm frighten? Gahm…HummUUmm…?" Cathy mutters out between her breaths and tears in speaking more honest before turning away from the chair and letting it all out? "I'm FRIGHTEN, Aunt Freeda? Grandpa?" Cathy exclaimed with a terrified look on her face, she is now truly afraid for the first time? "I'm frighten?" She covered her left hand to her cheek in feeling so afraid now with just being by herself? "Gaah-Hruvhm…hum…?" She looked away over to continue crying on the elbow rest of the stone chair, feeling so alone now?

But while the Rapzodian girl felt lost and alone, the crystal ball next to her was beginning to glow and soon, two imagines were appearing? They were Cathy's Grandpa Max and her Aunt Freeda, just as they were back on the farm of Kansas County, but in a shade of lost bright color we're afraid to say?

"Cathy?" Aunt Freeda's voice called out to the girl, as her image became somewhat clear in channelling her presence on the crystal ball? "Cathy?" She called out again in looking with her hands held in concern, as Cathy cease her crying from hearing her aunt's words from her voice? "Where are you?" Aunt Freeda asked from looking around in not seeing any trace of her niece anywhere?

"Gaughm-Huummm…?" Cathy nearly gasped from when she turned around, there on the witch's crystal ball, was her Aunt Freeda, along with her Grandpa Max?

"Cathy, please respond?" Grandpa Max called out in trying to look in where his granddaughter would be? "Oh dear, where can she be?" The old man signed in not having much luck and he was very concern, like his sister was?

"It's us?" Aunt Freeda responded out in pleading that the girl she's calling to will hear her call, unknown that Cathy is very near?

"Ooohhohhh?" Cathy gasped more to come closer to the crystal ball in not believing it, was it really her aunt and grandpa she was seeing?

"It's your Aunt Freeda?" Aunt Freeda stated out in letting wherever Cathy was, know that it's really her that's trying to get a response?

"And your Grandpa?" Grandpa Max exclaimed out to in letting Cathy know who he was as well, even if both didn't see Cathy was staring right at them.

"We're trying to find you? We're all looking for you?" Aunt Freeda stated out with an awfully worried tone in her voice in wondering where Cathy was, many of the family and friends were searching for the missing alien girl?

"Oh my word, where in Rapzodia are you?" Grandpa Max spoke with much concerns and worries that he twiddled his fingers together? "Please come back to us? Cathy!" The old man tried to call out to Cathy once more, hoping for a response, if any at all?

"Oh Cathy, where are you?" Aunt Freeda asked out in wishing to hear where Cathy was, even if the image never helped her see how close Cathy was?

"Gaugh…haah?" Cathy gasped to catch her breath, feeling her tears about to over take her in really seeing the people she cared for right before her were very real. "I'm here in Oz! Aunt Freeda! Grandpa Max!" Cathy stated out to the images in the crystal ball, trying to talk to them in letting them know where she is? "I'm locked up in the witch's castle by Hecate?" As Cathy tried to explain her whereabouts, the picture images were starting to…fade a bit? "Gaugh-hum…And I'm trying to get home to you all? Aunt Freeda? Grandpa?" Cathy expressed out with tears in her eyes to about start crying in wanting to just go home and be with her family.

Then suddenly, the image faded away by a bright red flash, this concerned Cathy to thinking she lost connection with her family, and after so long?

"Oh Aunt Freeda? Granpda Max? Don't GO AWAY?" Cathy shouted out in holding the crystal ball in pleading that the image not fad away with those she finally got to see leave now? "Huuagh…I'm FRIGHTEN?" Cathy called out with a shaking sound of her voice in being so scared? "I'm no longer able to turn into my real self, I can't do my abilities or even my MBC training moves? I'm just…normal?" The girl explained the horrors that have taken place, she's not able to be much anything but…a normal, weak little girl that just wants to be with her family? "Tiiaaaugh…COME BACK?" Cathy really felt like her heart would break, but all unaware that a green glow was appearing in the center of the crystal ball? "Giihaughmm…COME BACK?" Cathy pleaded in about to completely let her tears take over in wanting to see her family again, no matter what?

Well the crystal ball changed to show an image alright, but instead of it being Cathy's Aunt Freeda & Grandpa Max, the picture was shown to be…Hecate?

"Aunt Freeda? Grandpa Max?" Hecate was making a couple of meeky, squawky, girly voices before Cathy. "Come Back?" At noticing it was the witch, Cathy step back in seeing who was now on the crystal ball.

"GAaughmmm…?" Cathy gasped in shock to see that Hecate was on the crystal ball now and the witch was making a mockery of what she was doing?

"I'll give you Aunt Freeda & Grandpa Max, my beauty?" Hecate exclaimed off to tell Cathy with a wicked tone in how she'll give Cathy those she want, but in truth, it's another evilly twisted part in what she'll do to the alien girl instead?

"GAahugaaahhh?" Cathy gasped again in shock from seeing what this witch meant by those words, which aren't too pleasing to say the least?

"GWahahahaha-aaahhh!" Hecate then made an insult to the wounded & heartbroken girl, by laughing evilly at the scared Cathy.

"Hmmm…?" Cathy muffled in being so very frighten to cover her mouth in what the witch has plans for her.

"AHHHH-Hahaahahaaaaahhh!" Hecate then looked out to us viewers to cackle a wickedly evil laugh before her scary face vanished from the crystal balls image?

"Gaugh…Huummm…?" Cathy let off a few muffle cries of being so frighten now that it was a horrible thing to feel, after seeing that trick Hecate pulled off on her? "Gaguh…Huumm…?" Cathy just sat there, feeling her tears starting to take over before her eyes gazed over at the hourglass itself of how long she has?

The scene returns to the hourglass, as more red sand was pouring out. Which meant that more of little time was remaining for what Hecate said of Cathy's time of living & being alive?

"Gumh..Huummm…?" Cathy's sad little moans are heard even from the scene of the hourglass? If nothing is done soon, she'll meet her end by the witch, Hecate, by the moment all of the sands run out?

~

We then see what's going on with the Freelance Police, they were falling until…Sam grabbed a flagpole which then Max grabbed his feet in saving their hids?

"Well I'll be a Chimp off the old block, Making a Touch Down & Winging the Superbowl Game At Pizza Para?" Sam exclaimed out in feeling very much overly surprised and speechless at the same time? "We're safe from falling, little buddy?" Sam looked to his little buddy on his legs in noticing, they manage to escape their falling demise.

"About time, how many feet did we drop until we got this?" Max remarked off without fear of what happened, but wanted to know how long they've been at the whole 'falling' thing?

"I say about 80 stories? It's amazing how much the wicked witch, Hecate, likes making things on higher places that'll really give blisters on a fella's feet?" Sam answered off that question while also stating a fact about villains liking to have very tall hideouts, fortresses, and castles that just look intimidating, but are really a problem to those trying to climb up stairs?

"I can't believe that flagpole thing really works?" Max rhetorically stated in feeling that being saved by a flagpole is 'too' surprising to believe, and it's really something too? "Heh? I thought for sure it would…." Max shrug off to laugh about expecting a different outcome to come when….

"BREAKivhmmm…." Without warning, the flagpole Sam held broke and once again, the Freelance Police continue to fall?

"BREEEEAAAAAKk….!" Max screamed out in terror that they were now back on track to falling to their demise?

"Nice Work, BLABBER-MOUTH!" Sam loudly snapped at his partner for having to jinx their moment of safety while falling back on their demise track, it figures?

~

The scene suddenly changes to another part of the castle, with it's lit torches aflame, near the edge of the top guards wall. Coming out from one end and heading to the next castle holding chamber were what appeared to be guards? But what was stranger was that at this very moment, they appear to be…singing while marching?

Guards: YO…He…Ho!

They appeared to be singing a chant while they do their marching work on the castle grounds?

Yo Ho…Oh!

It was around there that the chanting of the song had ended, since it was the short vers. of the type?

Soon we get a better view in what these two particular guards look like, and they ain't no Moblins either? Though they appear to be in some specially made uniforms, black grey plated armor with black fuzzy shoulder pads and England top royal guard hats on their heads while wielding their spears.

The one up front was an anthropomorphic dog (supposedly a Basset Hund) with a droopy face. Had orange hair, white coated fur, pale bare flabby mouth and chin, a black wet nose, black oval eyes, long flat black ears, and seemed about as short as Max's height? His name is Droopy Dog, hence the name from his face, who moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a jowly monotone, and, though he doesn't look like much, is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies and, when finally roused to anger, capable of beating adversaries twice his size with comical thrashing.

The second one behind the little guard was an anthropomorphic bulldog with bare color fur, light tan belly, gray muzzle mouth, black wet nose, black oval eyes, brown short ears, and seem twice the size of Droopy and pretty close to Sam in height. His name is Spike, who often would try various tricks to beat slow, monotone sounding folks at a particular act while wanting to get all the credit for it, and speaks with some British Accent.

"And…halt!" Droopy issued out with a plain face with Spike, who stopped behind him with a closed eye smirk expression. "Excellent work, New Guard?" Droopy turned to Spike in congratulating him for the job he was doing, since he was suppose to be new at this. "Any questions, so far?" Droopy asked in wondering if this guard had some questions he wanted to ask while on duty?

"Yeah?" Spike responded with a puzzled & dry face in not getting something at the moment? "What does that 'Yo he ho' song mean?" He waved out his left free hand in asking in a dry confusion at the moment, in what the song they sing to chant out was suppose to really mean when they do it?

"I have absolutely no idea?" Droopy shook his head in slowly stating with a plain expression in not knowing that answer either, they just do it naturally it seems? "Let's review what we've learned today?" Droopy exclaimed out, just as soon after pulling out a small red handbook label 'Witch's Guild Handbook' on it from his pocket, this was meant to help the guards learn all their is to know of what to do when serving Hecate.

"WAaauughh….." Above at this moment, Sam and Max were wailing and shaking their arms out all around from their falling down towards where the 'Guards' are located?

"Rule One!" Droopy spoke slowly with his usual jowly monotone in telling the first rule while Spike stands up straight to listen out until….

"Cluspvhmm…" Without warning, the Freelance Police landed right on Spike from on top of the back. "Oyuh?" Spike yelped out in surprise, as were the Freelance Police in not getting what's happening here?

"Where we land now, Sam?" Max asked puzzled to seeing where they landed on a guard that wasn't a Moblin and the other was reading a book?

"In trouble, I say?" Sam stated out with a dry tone in seeing where they are while it's happening, and it's not good neither?

"Hooo…?" After Spike and the Freelance Police exchanged glances, the guard makes a soft battle cry in preparing to fight the two while Droopy continued to read the guild book without noticing what's happening behind him?

"Moblin & Other Guards must keep up with their hours and submit a timecard at the end of the week." Droopy was explaining while unaware of a smoke cloud of Sam and Max trying to punch around Spike with fist, tongue pulling, Max launched over before landing in the cloud again along with slaps and kicks.

"Oowhhh?" That was Spike's voice sounding like a moan of pain before the cloud cease along with the punching & beating up noises?

Then now later did a guard stood up, but just one problem on this person? It was actually Sam in disguise, as he musta taken it from Spike, and for some reason, his belly seem to stick out?

"Something wrong? New Guard?" Droopy looked over his shoulder to ask if anything was wrong with the guy without realizing that wasn't Spike?

"Oh no, everything's fine!" Sam shook his head in responding that nothing was wrong with him at all, trying to not look conspicuous.

"Nothing to worry about?" Max's voice came from inside the armor, more or less, near the pudgy belly shown from Sam's armor disguise? "Gulpvhmm…." Which Sam responded by punching his gut that made the noise which made something happen? "I mean, nothing too concerning for?" Max's voice responded out in stating nothing was to be of concern of the oddly situation here? "Gulpvhmmm…" And which again, earn another punch in the gut by Sam, though it wasn't his belly he was hitting that made the groan sound. "I mean, I didn't say nothing? Continue?" Max's voice stated off lastly to not be concerning of hearing a voice from Sam's belly spot, which was him hiding in.

"Swell?" Sam rolled his eyes in remarking how someone would have to be pretty slow and foolish to let this slide by without rolling suspicious that the guard was the Freelance Police in disguise?

"Okay then?" Droopy nodded in seeing that nothing was out of the normal, which was a relief to the Freelance Police that this guard didn't catch on? "Rule Two!" Droopy stated in looking at the book for the second rule while he and the 'New Guard' were walking along the castle wall. "Moblin and/or Other Guards receive one person day every 300 years." As Droopy explained this, he never saw Max's ears, then his head pop out in what he and Sam were hearing of the rules before the K-9 push the rabbit back in the armor, so he could see and make sure their cover isn't blown?

"Wooh, these guy can actually live that long?" Max's voice stated off amazed by how long a guard, weather Moblin or not, gets a day off before working for longer hours?

"Stuff it Max?" Sam silently hushed his partner to keep his voice low or else they'll drag attention to themselves?

"I am stuff? IN YOU! Have you tried B.O.?" Max's voice remarked off that he's inside Sam's clothing and is saying it stinks in here?

"Don't get cute & smart at with me? Now keep quiet, we're undercover now!" Sam sternly hushed his partner again, as far as they know, they have to play along the role of the guard.

"Rule Three!" Droopy stated out plainly from what was said in the guild book without ever knowing what's happening behind him? "And this is the most important rule of all?" Droopy lean his head over his shoulder to tell the 'New Guard' that this next part of the rule, is seriously important to keep note of. "Guards must keep all 'water' away from the Wicked Witch, Hecate!" Droopy looked back at the book in stating the important note that any water must be kept away from Hecate at all times.

"As in the DemiGoddess of Witchcraft or just the Queen of Darkness?" Max's voice asked off all those statements from inside Sam's armor in the belly. "Gulpvhmm…" But as before, Max's voice yelped when Sam punched him to keep quiet for the eighteenth-time. "Ufrvuhmm…?" Max's voice moan out from getting a really bad headache from all the punches for speaking out of term?

"Yes, all of those things are fine to address her as." Droopy responded without bothering to look into what had transparent just now with the disguised duo? "For you see, for Hecate herself with water…It's her oooone weakness!" Droopy looked to lean over his right shoulder to tell the 'New Guard' in his jowly monotone pattern voice that the water, was the only weakness that Hecate had, and that must be kept a secret.

"You don't say?" Sam spoke with a surprised, yet interested face, as Max popped out of the suit for the two to look at the other in thought of what they heard just now?

"Ohhh, I bet that would be devastating in the 'wrong' hands, per-say?" Max stated with a wide grin, even Sam smiled in realizing what they've discovered; Hecate's weakness is water.

"Got that?" Droopy closed the book and once put away, looked to the 'New Guard' in wondering if 'he' got that message clear?

The Freelance Police almost yelp that they were about to be caught if Sam didn't quickly shove Max back down in the armor suit.

"Oh yes, I most certainly got every spec. of those rules!" Sam smiled while nodding in saying that he got that message very clearly.

"Down to the weakness!" Max's voice added off from inside the armor about knowing about the witch's weakness. "Gulpvhmm.." Max's voice yelped out again with another moan from getting hit again by Sam for talking when he's suppose to be hiding? "URrfruvhmmm…OKAY! I GET IT?" Max screeched out from inside which Sam covered, so that Droopy wouldn't hear the little outburst Max was making, which was lucky indeed?

"Wwooohooowwooh?" Suddenly, Spike was walking funny in a dizzy state, only wearing his red body cloth underwear since his suit was taken. "Sir!" Spike saluted before Droopy, which made Sam yelped in seeing this guy was up and awaken now? "Hmm...I think we have a couple of escape prisoners?" Spike issued out with a stern expression before dropping his arm down in the solider manner after making his report.

"Well how about that?" Droopy exclaimed in a very slow and plain surprise about this news he's heard while Sam listen in? "You're having a busy first day, New Guard?" Droopy stated out in how Spike was having some day with this being his first, without realizing about the 'other' Guard before them? "I salute you?" Droopy then made a salute pose in saluting Spike on his active duty.

"And I you!" Sam responded with rising his left hand against his head to salute too.

"And how!" Max responded when he came out to perform the same thing Sam did, even though that pretty much blew the whole 'undercover' job?

But that made Spike yelp to shake his head and see Sam & Max when the latter came out, that made one thing sure? "IT'S THEM!" Spike pointed his right index finger in stating with a surprised expression that the escaped prisoners, were the ones before them?

"Oh dear?" Droopy slowly responded in a slight surprise statement in realizing this too. "Seize Them!" He had a stern look face when he pointed his right index finger in issuing the order to seize the Freelance Police.

"Gotta get me first?" Max remarked off, as he jumped out of the suit from Sam and was in front of Droopy which Sam & Spike saw where he was.

"SMASshfrivuhmm….." No later did Spike take Sam's spear, held it up and hit where Max was….? Only the rabbit got out of the way for that whack move to flatten Droopy's hat over his body? This left Spike puzzled and confused while seeing the tapping feet of Droopy move around in confusion?

"Quick, let's vamoose outta here, Max!?" Sam stated out before the duo decided to quickly run for it while the guards are distracted.

"Freelance Police, out maneuvering the guards!" Max shouted out this declaring fact before they both were running out of range.

"Did ya hear, them we're the Freelance Police that's been on the witch's revenge list?" Spike yelped out in shock, those two prisoners were the Freelance Police: Sam & Max? Hecate's wanting to get revenge on them, along with the Mane Six ponies group while wanting Cathy's Ruby Slippers, they're the big hitters to pleasing the witch.

"Oh dear, what a shocker?" Droopy stated out in a jowly monotone response to this before stopping his feet. "I'm afraid this won't look good on your personal evaluation?" Droopy stated that with this act that Spike pulled off on him, it will be marked on his career for others to know about in the future of job skills?
