Rayman Legends Adventures in The Rescuers/Script

It was late on a stormy night. In a place known as the Devil's Bayou, there was an old paddle steamer boat on the river. The door opened and a 6-year-old girl with dirty blonde hair and black eyes walked out, holding a teddy bear in her hand. She looked behind to make sure no one was watching her and continued to head for the back of the boat.
Two green crocodiles chained to the boat noticed the girl and smirked as they watched her walk to the back of the boat and stood at the rail. She looked around to make sure no one was watching her once more and then dropped a glass bottle with a note inside into the water and watched as it started floating off down the river.

The Rescuers
The bottle floated down with the current and out into the ocean and continued to float as it was swished and swayed by the strong waves, thunderous storms and ships crossing over until eventually, it was washed up on the shore of a beach at a town called Morningside Orphanage where the beachcomber mice had discovered it.
The next morning, a lot of mice and humans from around the world and the United Nations were gathering at a building where the Rescue Aid Society for an emergency meeting had been called by the head of the society, Mr. Chairman. The Rescue Aid Society was an agency dedicated to rescuing and saving children all over the world.
Outside the meeting room, a small and obese mouse was sweeping the floor. He had gray fur and he wore a red sweater and a brown cap. His name was Bernard and he worked at the Rescue Aid Society as a janitor.
"Hello, Bernard," a French mouse greeted Bernard. Bernard grinned and greeted back. "Have a nice day, sir."
As more mice entered, they all greeted Bernard and took their seats in the meeting hall. Mr. Chairman waited until everyone was seated as he stood at the podium and then began. "This emergency meeting of the International Rescue Aid Society is now in session. Delegates who have been summoned from all corners of the globe because we have reason to believe that someone is in distress. As you know, our company has never failed to respond a call for help."
Everyone applauded. "We will face the portrait of our beloved founder of our society, Euripides Mouse," Mr. Chairman said, "delegates, hands over hearts."
Everyone stood and did so as the music began to play and then everyone in the room began singing the Rescue Aid Society oath.
All: R-E-S-C-U-E
Rescue Aid Society
Heads held high, touch the heavens
You mean everything to me
In a fix, in a bind
Call on us anytime
We'll appear from Noel
Mighty are we
R-E-S-C-U-E
Rescue Aid Society

R-E-S-C-U-E
Rescue Aid Society
Outside the meeting room, Bernard was singing along with the song as well.
Heads held high, touch the heavens
You mean everything to me
In a jam, in a scrape
And you think, "no escape"
A small and beautiful slender mouse with white fur, a purple cap and a kerchief with a bow. Her name was Miss Bianca or Bianca as she preferred to be called and she was an agent of the Rescue Aid Society. She grinned at Bernard for a moment since the two of them were friends and had known each other since high school and he grinned back and then entered the meeting hall and stood at an empty seat as she sung the final words to the oath. Bianca was the only agent in the society who believed in Bernard and thought he belonged in the society and not just as a janitor.
Do not fear, we'll be here
Courageous are we
R-E-S-C-U-E
Rescue Aid Society
Heads held high, touch the heavens
Our hearts we pledge to thee!
Everyone sat back down as Mr. Chairman called out, "mouse scouts, bring up the bottle. Mr. Bernard, if you please."
Then he sighed in annoyance as he added, "serious business, you know. Serious business."
Bernard entered the room with the bottle that was found in the morning. He squeezed his hand inside the bottle and pulled out the message and handed it to Mr. Chairman as he said, "I'll get it out in a jiffy, sir."
Bianca couldn't help but silently laugh at Mr. Chairman and Bernard. Mr. Chairman read the top of the letter aloud. "At the Morningside Orphanage, New York..."
He furrowed his eyes, trying to read the writing, but some of it was blurred to some water managed to get into the bottle. "It's most difficult to decipher," he said, "well, I can't figure it out."
"This is the right fashion," Bianca said as she caught the letter and started reading it, "I am...in a horrible.....horrible problem. Oh, dear. It's all watered down. H-H-Hurry up! Help! Penny."
"Penny? Morningside Orphanage? Dash it all...there's not much to do so," Mr. Chairman said, returning to the podium.
"Oh, that poor little girl," Bianca said, feeling worried about Penny, "Mr. President, please can I have this mission?"
"You? Miss Bianca? Darling lady, this is absolutely unprecedented. I mean, it's not like the good old days if it was a man's world. However, I guess there must be a first time," Mr. Chairman agreed, seeing the determination in her eyes.
Bernard heard everything and then said, "uh, Mr. President, sir. I don't think Miss Bianca should go. It could be dangerous. I mean, anything could happen to her."
Bianca, at first, was annoyed that he had said she couldn't handle an assignment alone, but it changed to a grin that someone at least cared for her safety. "You see, darling lady, before our concierge interrupts you," Mr. Chairman said, "I was about to suggest that you should have a co-agent with you. Gentlemen, who will volunteer?"
Thousands of mouse's hands had raised up to volunteer to be Bianca's co-agent. She knew all these people had experienced, but she wanted to work with someone she knew and then she looked at Bernard. "Oh, darling, that is indeed. A most difficult decision to make," she said, "I choose Mr. Bernard to be my co-agent."
Bernard almost fell backwards as she said that and then stuttered hesitantly. "What? Who, me? Oh, well, it's really, um...well, you see, I'm just a janitor."
"Oh, c'mon. We'll be a great team together. Aw, c'mon," Bianca pleaded.
"A janitor and a lady," Mr. Chairman agreed, "oh, my heavens. Bless my soul."
It was late at night and pouring rain. Bernard and Bianca got off the bus and stood on the side of the street. Bernard wore a yellow rain jacket while Bianca wore her purple one. Bianca placed an umbrella over their heads to keep them from getting wet as Bernard read the address for the Morningside Orphanage on the map.
"Here it is. Three blocks down and four more blocks," Bernard said.
"Then why don't we take the shortcut through the zoo," Bianca asked.
"Uh, wow, Miss Bianca, um...I don't know. I mean, you know, it could be frisky," Bernard said.
"Oh, c'mon. Remember our promise," Bianca asked, "through the storm and the rain and the dead of night."
"Never stop doing the right fact," Bernard said, "alright, duty calls."
They walked through the entrance of the open park zoo, but couldn't seem to find the exit gate. "Uh, Mr. Bernard, perhaps we better go back," Bianca suggested, "uh, it's so dark in there."
"Darkness? Who's scared of the dark," Bernard asked as he lit his hand with his match to light up the darkness of the place, "look, you stay here. I'll check it out."
Then Bernard goes down a path and for a few moments, there is nothing but silence until suddenly, the sound of a lion roars and Bernard shouts as he runs back and almost trips over his own feet as he stops past Bianca and shivers in fright.
"Well, how about we try the three blocks down and the four blocks up," Bernard responded as they walked out of the zoo.
"What have you done to make him so frustrated," Bianca asked.
"Nothing. He's just a grumpy old lion," Bernard responded.
Bianca laughed a little and said, "well, after all, did you awaken him in the middle of the night?"
"I didn't mean to awaken him in the middle of the night," Bernard responded, "and I was walking through the fact, and I just..."
Bernard grinned and they continued speaking as they headed down the street. It wasn't long until they had eventually arrived at the Morningside Orphanage. They knocked on the door and opened it to reveal a slender brown cat, wearing a red scarf and a white mustache.
"What have we got here," the cat asked, "if people find out that the mice have moved here, they'll kick me out and I'll lose my job."
"Well, please...allow me to introduce you to the Company," Bernard introduced themselves, "I am Bernard, this is Bianca and this is Rufus."
Bernard and Bianca followed Rufus upstairs to a large room filled with beds. "Oh, well, I sure can," Rufus said, "but you won't find her around here."
"Uh, sir, could you please warn us what just happened to a girl named Penny," Bernard asked.
"Alright. The poor fact got away," Rufus responded as he saw down on Bianca's bed.
Bernard and Bianca sat down on a couple of chairs as Bernard asked, "where was the last time you saw Penny?"
"Was there anything unusual," Bianca asked, "try to remember."
"Let's see now...the last time I saw her," Rufus responded and he remembered the last time he saw Penny, "she was sitting there on her bed all alone."
Rufus walked into the girl's dormitory and saw a 7-year-old girl with dirty blonde hair and black eyes, holding a teddy bear in her hand.
Rufus sat next to the little girl and saw the tears falling down her face and asked, "what's wrong, Penny, darling?"
"Nothing," Penny responded mournfully.
"Oh, don't stop now. C'mon, there are no secrets. You warn old Rufus, right," Rufus asked again as he held Penny's hand in comfort.
"Well, it was adoption day at the orphanage. A man and a lady came, but they cheated on a red-haired girl," Penny responded mournfully, "she was prettier than me."
Rufus frowned and said, "oh, it couldn't be. You know, listen to me, darling. You're something extra special."
"No, I'm not," Penny said as she got up and walked over to the open window. Rufus walked up behind her and said, "why, someday, a mum and dad will look toward the orphanage. You're looking for a pretty girl like you."
"Really," Penny asked as she grinned a little, feeling better, "how come?"
"I'd bet my whiskers on it," Rufus grinned back and said, "but you have to believe it. Keep the faith, darling."
Then Rufus noticed a bluebird outside and said, "see this bluebird?"
Penny nodded as she noticed it and Rufus continued, "faith is a bluebird. It is seen from afar. It is real and safe as the first evening star."
Penny and Rufus looked up at the glimmering star in the heavens, showing it was almost night as he continued, "you can't touch it or buy it or wrap it up well, but it's there any matter, making facts turn out right."
Penny grinned and picked up her teddy as she said, "but whoever adopts me has to adopt Teddy as well."
Rufus chuckled and said, "oh, they love him. He doesn't eat many, does he?"
Penny giggled and then said, "I'm sure you miss your family, as well. And I hope you find them one day."
Penny gave Rufus a hug and said, "I love you, Rufus. Wow, we'd better hurry up. I'm not late for dinner!"
Penny grinned and followed behind Rufus, feeling better than ever.
"She seemed pretty happy, but the next fact I heard, Penny was gone," Rufus finished.
"Well, aren't the police yet looking for her," Bernard asked.
"No. They gave up weeks ago," Rufus responded.
"This is horrible," Bianca said, "that poor little girl."
"I just can't believe that Penny got away," Bernard said, "Mr. Rufus, please think. Now there must be something else."
Rufus thought about it and then said as he remembered something. "Well, uh...now that I think about it, there was...nothing. Penny didn't want to go in with her."
"Wait, get into what," Bernard asked, "with who?"
"Oh, a weird woman tried to take Penny, but she didn't want to have anything to do with trash people like them," Rufus responded.
"Trash people," Bernard asked, "who?"
"Well, she and her partners have a seedy pawn shop down the street," Rufus responded.
"Miss Bianca, we must go there and investigate," Bernard responded.
"As you wish," Rufus nodded and said, "but you'd be wasting your time going there."
"She could be in serious danger. We have to find her and help her," Bernard said and then he and Bianca left the orphanage, heading for this Medusa's shop.
It was now late at night and they had arrived at Medusa's Pawn Shop. They looked around the shop and then squeezed through the cage gate into the main office. Bernard dropped the baggage and they began to look around silently in case Medusa was around.
Then Bianca noticed a children's book on the desk and opened it up to find that it belonged to Penny and said, "Bernard. A child's book."
Bernard looked at the book and said, "then I think she must be here."
Suddenly, the phone rang and they could hear someone coming. Bernard swiftly caught Bianca's hand and stood against the wall as a ruthless woman with short thick red hair sticking up and wearing a red sleeveless dress entered the room.
The greedy woman was Madame Medusa herself and she muttered in annoyance as she picked up the phone. "Who could hit right now at night?"
She responded it and said, "Madame Medusa's pawnshop boutique."
She suddenly grinned as she heard the person over the phone speak and said in emotion. "Snoops! Don't warn me, Snoops! Let me guess! You've found it! You've found the diamond!"
Her grin changed into a frown as Medusa spoke over the phone and she hissed in frustration. "Give you time? Have you stayed there for three months?!"
Medusa speaks again and her frustration grows as she shouts. "Did you get Penny texting? Are you foolish?! Can't you control a little girl?! SHUT UP!!!!! I'm going the next flight to Devil's Bayou."
She hit the phone down and left the office after placing a suitcase down on the desk. "This is horrible," Bianca whispered, "we have to go with her."
Medusa came back and stuffed the suitcase, complete with clothes and other items before putting on a coat and walked outside heading for the airport. Bernard picked up Bianca and ran out of the store and landed on the street as he dropped the luggage.
"This is Mrs. Medusa for you, you hit a killer," Bernard said.
At the regional airport, Bernard and Bianca had arrived to catch a flight to Devil's Bayou. As they hurried along, Bernard said, "hurry up, Miss Bianca. Medusa may already be at the Devil's Bayou."
"Oh, I'm sorry. But a lady has to pack some facts, you know," Bianca pointed out.
They went up to the roof where their flight was waiting. They went inside the building with a company named Albatross Air Service Station. Bernard and Bianca placed their bags down and then Bernard looked up at the flight schedules and noticed the next flight was at 6:45 a.m. However, it was already seven o'clock.
"Oh, dear! We missed the flight," Bernard sighed.
"You concern too much, you know that flights are always late," Bianca said.
Suddenly on the radio, a pilot called out. "Flight 13 from the albatross to the tower. January 13, 1995!"
Bernard went up to the radio and replied, "um...hello?"
"Where the hell have you been? Am I free to land," the pilot asked.
Bernard looked out the window and saw the runway and said, "um, captain? You have our permission to land."
"Well, it's time, friend," the pilot replied.
"Here he comes," Bianca said.
Bernard walked up to the window and watched as a glowing helicopter was being flown by a white albatross and was heading for the runway. Bernard suddenly flinched as he landed the helicopter and a huge screeching noise came from the bottom legs of the copter as they scraped against the runway before the pilot pulled it to a stop.
Bernard and Bianca came outside as the pilot exited the copter and dusted himself off cheerfully. "Are you hurt, sir," Bernard asked.
"No. One of my best landings, man," the albatross responded.
Bernard rolled his eyes at that and whispered to Bianca. However, the albatross overheard him. "C'mon, let's get on the train. Play it safe."
"Train? Safe?! Listen here, asshole, I'm in shape like a violin," the albatross said, serious.
"And you're just wonderful, Captain," Bianca said.
The albatross grinned and said, "just call me, Orville, young lady. Flight 13 hits wild blue there in five moments."
True to Orville's word, he had refueled the copter as Bernard and Bianca had now boarded the copter with their bags and had sat down in the back seats while Orville sat in the front, ready to fly the copter. "Welcome aboard, folks," Orville announced, "fasten your seat belts. Don't smoke."
Bernard and Bianca buckled up and then Orville said, "warn me, man, leave the checklist for me."
"Oh, yes," Bernard said as he pulled out the checklist and began reading, "did you lower your glasses?"
The albatross switched them all up and said, "check."
"Did the wings go down," Bernard asked.
"Check," Orville said.
"Tail feathers," Bernard asked.
"Check again," Orville responded as he finished the controls.
Then Bernard got hesitant as he read the last part on the checklist. "If at first you don't succeed, try again."
"And here we go," Orville announced as the blades of the copter started spinning faster and faster and before they knew it, they were off in the air and on their road to Devil's Bayou. However, the copter started to do a nose dive down towards the street and although Bianca laughed, Bernard continued to look on in fear as Orville pulled up the control stick and started heading back above the city.
Bianca laughed a little at Bernard's frightened face and said, "I love takeoffs!"
Bernard sighed in relief and they both watched as New York became smaller and smaller in the distance. As the flight continued, Bianca and Bernard continued to speak to each other and look at the fantastic views.
"He just went through a red light," Bernard said.
Bianca grinned and said, "oh, I do this all the time. Now c'mon, stop concerning."
Bernard blushed a little and grinned at his friend. As their flight continued into the night, Bianca yawned and fell asleep on Bernard's shoulder. Bernard blushed, but continued to grin and just laid his head down next to her and fell asleep as well.
Orville smirked as he saw them through the mirror and whispered, "now for a rest of beauty."
The complete moon shone brightly over the eerie scene of Devil's Bayou. On the old paddle steamer boat, Penny sneaked out the front door as silently as she could, holding her teddy bear in her arms and walked down the ramp onto the land.
She looked around, making sure the coast was clear and then started heading away into the woods surrounding the river, around them. It wasn't long, however, as all the lights of the boat came on and Medusa's voice could be heard. "Penny! Penny? Answer me! Penny?"
Penny gasped and started to run faster through the shallow water and further into the woods, hoping to get as far away as she could.
Medusa came out the front door with two green crocodiles by her side and called out, "SNOOPS, GET DOWN HERE!!"
"What's up, Medusa," a short human-like fashion with a mustache and wearing a yellow sport coat called out as he stepped out onto the balcony.
"The little brat escaped again," Medusa responded before turning to her pets, "Nero, Brutus, bring her back, boys."
Both crocodiles smirked and walked down the ramp and swam into the water, beginning their pursuit of the little girl. Medusa got on her swamp mobile and although it took a moment to get it started. She eventually got it to work and called out. "Send some torches! Light the swamps where I can find her."
Then she took off to begin her search for Penny. Melvin went down into the basement of the boat and immediately lit up the heavens with fireworks.
Meanwhile, Bernard and Bianca had just awakened as Orville announced, "well, folks, we're about to land in Devil's Bayou."
Suddenly, a firework hit one of the propellers on the top of the helicopter and set it on fire. Then Orville shouts. "BAIL OUT! BAIL OUT!!"
They all jumped out of the helicopter immediately as it exploded into pieces of metal and flares. Bernard caught Bianca and formed a WB shield around them all, protecting them from the bits of debris of the helicopter as they floated down.
Down at the swamp in a house where a couple named Ellie Mae and Luke lived. They both heard the noise of the fireworks and looked up in the heavens to see Bernard, Bianca and Orville floating down towards them.
"Is that it," Ellie Mae asked, "over there?"
"Up there in a nest," Luke responded.
Then she commanded. "LUKE, GET DOWN HERE!!"
His partner Louis appeared from underneath and made his body huge enough to be like a retrospective shield and protected the house from some of the falling debris. Once it was over, Louis came back down and Luke commented, "wowee! This new batch really packs up a wallop."
"Watch out below," Bernard called down and all three of them landed as well as their luggage, which surprisingly survived landed near them. Clothes shattered everywhere.
Ellie Mae and Luke walked up to them.
"Oh, what a calamity! Here, darling, let me help you," Ellie Mae said as she and Louis immediately got to work.
Luke handed Bernard a drink and said, "hey, cousin, you look like you could use a sip. It's good for what makes you sick."
Bernard shrugged and had a swig of it. His eyes widened and then he immediately coughed, making Luke laugh a little bit. "Where are you from any matter," he asked.
"We're...from...New York," Bernard coughed out, yet a little taken aback by the soft drink he had given.
"Now step back, people! I'm not going to hang around this creepy place any longer. Clear the runway," Orville said.
He began to fly, but his eyes widened at the sight of Medusa coming and before he could react, he was sucked inside the pipe of her swamp mobile. He shrieked as he was blasted out the other end, fully covered in soot.
"HOLY SMOKE!! WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING," Orville shouts and continues to fly, coughing and laughing.
Penny hid among the reeds as she saw Medusa coming. Medusa stopped and looked among the reeds. She lit her headlight with her hand and shone it around. As she couldn't see Penny, she stopped and continued her search away from the area.
Then Penny continued to run, unaware that she had been spotted by Medusa's green crocodiles and they both began to swim after her.
Bianca, Bernard, Ellie Mae and Luke all heard the sound of Medusa's swamp-mobile and looked from the reeds to see her looking around the area.
"Bernard, it's that horrible Medusa," Bianca whispered.
"I'd like to give her a couple of strokes with my rolling pin," Ellie Mae said in frustration towards Medusa.
"We of the swamp would like to get her out of our bayou," Luke said, agreeing with his girlfriend.
Ellie Mae suddenly heard something and whispered, "alright. Hold on! Someone is coming this fashion."
They walked over to the bushes where Luke and Ellie Mae's home and peeked to see Medusa's crocodiles. One of them was holding Penny by her shirt and the other one was holding her teddy bear in his mouth.
"Why did you have to go screw it up," Penny said, frowning at them, "Nero, don't you dare wet my teddy!"
Then the two crocodiles began their swim back to the boat, keeping Penny's head above water as they swam.
"She tried to run off again," Ellie Mae said, mournfully looking at Penny.
"It's Penny," Bianca gasped, "oh, how horrible!"
"You need a boat. Evinrude has the fastest boat around here," Ellie Mae said before whistling, "Evinrude, wake up! Start up the engine, boy!"
Suddenly, a slender green dragonfly appeared, buzzing a little bit before calming down. "Hurry up! We need to find out where they're taking her," Bianca said to the green dragonfly.
Evinrude buzzed in response, but Ellie Mae attached a collar to Evinrude's collar before handing it to Bernard. Then Bernard picked up Bianca bridle style while catching his backpack, complete with gadgets.
"Send Evinrude here as soon as you need help. I'll round up the neighbors," Ellie Mae said.
Bianca held onto Bernard as he and Evinrude took to the air and began to follow behind the crocs and Penny at fast pace. They continued along the river for several moments and then stopped as they saw them heading for the boat.
They landed at the woods near the boat and hid among the trees. Bernard bent down and patted Evinrude on the head and said, "stick around, Evinrude. We'll make a signal if we need you."
Evinrude nodded and laid down to take a rest. Bernard and Bianca watched as Melvin was laughing as they took Penny inside the boat.
He picked up Bianca and they ran inside the boat and hid underneath a table nearby and watched as Melvin smirked down at Penny and said, "then you tried to escape, right? Well, it didn't work."
"Put me down, Brutus," Penny demanded and then Brutus dropped her while Nero dropped her teddy bear to the ground.
"Nice work, good guys," Melvin said to the crocodiles, only to get afraid as they started growling at him.
Penny picked up her teddy bear and hugged it close to her. Melvin moaned at the sight and said as he walked up to her and smirked. "All thinks about is that simple bear. Now behave yourself or I'll let Nero and Brutus take your old teddy bear."
"You won't! Besides, I'm not as afraid of them as you are, Mr. Snoops," Penny snapped at him.
"Ah, don't you fool me," Melvin ordered, "guys, take this naughty little girl to her room."
Penny said nothing and just walked upstairs to her room.
Medusa continued to look through the swamp, but then heard the sound of more fireworks. She looked up to see a "Got Girl" message in the heavens from Melvin.
She immediately turned around and parked the swamp mobile at the side of the boat and entered the main room in frustration as she sneered at Melvin. "Where is she? Where is she?!"
"I sent her up to her room," Melvin responded.
"Why did you let her escape?! What's your alibi this time, nitwit," Medusa snapped as she sat down on the couch.
"Don't blame me, Medusa! These lizards are leather heads. They're going to control the island. They're letting it get away," Melvin retorted.
"Ha," Medusa scoffed. Then she turned to the two alligators and grinned sweetly at them as she hugged them. "My precious pets. We know who caught the ungrateful little brat."
Bernard and Bianca continued to listen as they continued to hide under the desk as Melvin said, "yes, it was your brilliant idea to use the little girl for this whim."
"Snoops, you're not joking," Medusa reminded.
Melvin sighed and responded. "Yes, I know, I know. She's the only one small enough to push down the black hole."
"And yes, but why don't you find my big diamond," Medusa sighed mournfully.
"I don't know," Melvin said as he went over to the desk and picked up a handful of gems and jewelry and said, "but just look at these beauties she picked up from the cave. Oh, they'll sell for very cold cash."
Medusa, however, frowned and blasted the gems and jewelry out of his hands. "She's crazy," Bianca whispered, "completely frustrated."
Medusa growled in determination. "I want that diamond! I have to have the Devil's Eye! You didn't really leave the girl down in the cave long enough."
"She doesn't take orders. But the water rose and the tide came and all she did down was the hassle of her teddy bear getting wet," Melvin retorted with slight agitation.
Medusa merely grinned and said, "Snoops, you have no fashion with children. You have to gain their confidence, make them like you."
"What? How do you do that," Melvin asked.
"YOU FORCE THEM TO LIKE, YOU IDIOT," Medusa shouts and Melvin dodges out of the road of her cane.
Medusa calmed down and said, "at the next low-tide, I'll put her down there myself and keep her there until she finds it and it's as simple as that."
"Oh, yes, you're the boss," Melvin said. Then he asked hopefully. "Now how about some pop and popcorn?"
Medusa grinned and followed Melvin to the kitchen and said, "c'mon now, pets."
"We have to get Penny out of here tonight," Bernard said and they were just about to leave as they jumped back at the sight of Brutus and Nero coming their road.
Brutus and Nero were about to head back outside, but suddenly, they both stopped and smelled something. Bernard's eyes widened and whispered. "Bianca, they smell your perfume."
Bianca's eyes widened and all she did was nod, indicating she was in fact wearing a little bit of perfume. Brutus and Nero smirked as they turned their heads and could smell where it was coming from. Nero walked right up to the drawers and stuck his mouth underneath and caught Bernard by the collar of his red sweater and pulled him right out.
"MISS BIANCA, HEEELLLPPP," Bernard shouts as he punches Nero's nose, forcing the green alligator to let him go.
Bernard immediately ran up to the curtain and caught hold of it, but Brutus and Nero snagged the end of the curtain with their mouths and tore the curtain off the wall and dragged Bernard back down. The two green alligators and Bernard rumbled under the curtain.
Bianca gasps and runs underneath as she shouts. "LET GO, YOU BIG PIERS!!"
She pulled Bernard out of the curtain and Bernard immediately took Bianca's hand and ran towards the organ and hid inside one of the pipes. Bernard shivered as he looked through the hole. He jumped back and held Bianca close as Brutus peeked inside to see if they were there.
As soon as Brutus's eye left the hole, Bianca and Bernard sighed silently in relief, but their relief was cut short as Brutus pressed down on one of the organ keys and the force of the air coming from the pipe sent them both flying straight up and floating above the pipe.
Nero ran up the stairs and snapped his jaws to catch them, but missed as they landed in separate pipes. Brutus began to play other notes on the organ. Bernard tried to hold onto the edge of the organ, but was forced out once again and swiftly jumped into another pipe before Nero could catch him.
Brutus continued to play random notes to hopefully spring the two out of the organ. Medusa was trying to read a map in her room, but frowned as she heard the sound of the organ playing. She immediately got up and started heading for the main room.
Brutus hit hard on the keys, sending Bernard straight out of the organ pipe and Brutus expertly caught Bernard within his mouth. Bianca gasped. But before Brutus could swallow Bernard, Medusa entered the room.
"BRUTUS! NERO!! STOP THIS INFERNAL RACKET!!! I MEAN NOW," Medusa shouts as she whacks Brutus on the head with a broom, causing him to drop Bernard from his mouth.
As soon as Medusa saw Bernard, she mistakenly thought it was a mouse and started shrieking as she jumped on a chair in fright. "AARRGGHH! SNOOPS, A MOUSE!! OH, MURDER IT!!! MURDER IT!!!!"
Melvin caught the broom and started chasing after Bernard with it. Bernard dodged and ran right over to Bianca and caught her. Then Medusa shrieked. "AAUUGGHH! THERE'S ANOTHER!!"
Melvin immediately began to send a Mexican dance to them. Medusa suddenly began to shoot her shotgun. Brutus, Nero and Melvin jumped out of the road as they were almost hit by the shots.
Bernard and Bianca ran right outside and stood in the woods.
"Are you alright, darling," Bernard asked.
"Well, she tried to murder us. That awful woman," Bianca said, "ohh, if I were just a 10-foot mouse, I'd show her!"
"It's no use, Bianca," Bernard agreed, "perhaps Rufus the cat was right. What have two little mice done?"
Bianca looked up at the window where Penny's bedroom was and said, "but Bernard, the association is counting on us. We don't stop now. Oh, and that little girl. We just have to save her."
Penny had just finished putting her pajamas on until she heard a familiar voice. "Penny, darling! Aunt Medusa wants to speak to you."
Penny caught her teddy and began to head to Medusa's room.
She knocked on the door and she heard Medusa say sweetly. "Oh, please do come in."
Penny opened the door and asked, "did you want to see me, my wife?"
"Why, yes, my loved one. Don't be so shy," Medusa responded and gestured her to come inside.
Penny walked inside the room and then Medusa said, "well, I'm passing the bygones. Do you know what makes Aunt Medusa so happy?"
"Yes. You want me to find the diamond," Penny responded, looking down.
"Yes, my dear," Medusa said with a sweet grin.
"But I tried as hard as I could. To be honest," Penny said.
"Of course you have, but we have to work harder," Medusa said.
Then Penny had the courage to ask. "Please, can you take me to the orphanage? As promised?"
"Penny, don't you like this? Your own big, beautiful boat," Medusa asked.
"Well, if you don't go back to the orphanage, you'll never be adopted," Penny said.
"Adoption? Why do you think a homely girl like you there is," Medusa scoffed with a smirk.
These words hurt Penny, but she refused to take it to Medusa. She looked down and closed the door. Then she went back upstairs, but instead of going to her bedroom, she walked out onto the back balcony and looked down into the water as she let some tears of despair fall from her eyes.
Then she looked up at the night heavens. Bernard carried Bianca as he went to the balcony. Both he and Bianca could see Penny wiping the tears from her eyes as he saw the same star shining brightly that Rufus had spoken of.
Bernard and Bianca looked at her mournfully as she entered her room and hugged her teddy bear close. She blew the candle out and placed her teddy bear on the bed, but she knelt down and closed her eyes and she said a prayer. "Bless Rufus and Teddy, and all the children in the orphanage. Let Jennifer, Bobby, Mary, Julie and someone else find my bottle. There's a message, because it doesn't work to escape. Amen."
She caught her bear and hugged it tight as she wept. "Don't worry, Teddy, we're...gonna be...alright."
She laid down on the bed with her head against the pillow and continued to weep. Bernard dropped the baggage as he and Bianca entered the room.
Bianca knelt down to the side of the bed and shook Penny gently as she said, "Penny?"
Penny looked up from her pillow and saw Bernard and Bianca there and said, "yes?"
"Penny. Penny, darling. Maintenant, ne pas pleure. We're here to help you," Bianca said as she pulled out a tissue and wiped Penny's tears off.
"Why, hello. Was I coming from somewhere," Penny asked as she sat up and looked at them.
"We found a bottle with your message, and we came to save you," Bernard responded.
Penny grinned and said, "have you heard this, Teddy? Our bottle worked!"
"Penny, I know it's late, but we have to run away tonight," Bernard said. Then Bianca pointed out. "Oh, these vicious monsters! They should be trapped in a cage."
Then Penny pointed out the window and whispered, "you see? The elevator."
Bernard and Bianca saw the elevator and then Bernard said, "well, uh...what can we use for food?"
"I have it! My perfume. Remember? They immediately chased the scent towards the elevator," Bianca pointed out.
"Wait a moment. She might catch us on a swamp cellphone," Bernard suggested and then Penny added, "well, swipe it! I always wanted to drive it."
"What if Medusa awakens during the startup? We're in danger. Somehow, we have to stall them," Bernard said.
Then Penny thought of something else and suggested, "how about Mr. Snoops's fireworks? We'll launch them away in her bedroom. I'll be busy."
"Oh, Bernard! It's very emotional. Perfumes, crocs, swamp phones. I'm just getting to work," Bianca said.
"That's our only chance. But we'll need help," Bernard said in agreement.
But just as he was about to, they all heard Medusa shout. "SNOOPS! GET DOWN HERE!!"
They heard Melvin run down to Medusa's bedroom and then heard the door lock, but they could hear them both speaking since they were talking frustratedly. They could hear Medusa shouting. "Oh, shut up! Is it high tide?"
"I must have something to do with these two," Penny shook with fear as she whispered, "hey, I don't want to go down to that horrible black hole again."
Bianca hugged Penny and said, "don't worry about it, darling. You have to get dressed in a hurry."
Bernard ran down to Evinrude and said, "Evinrude, that's it! We need help. Go catch Ellie Mae and hurry up."
Evinrude buzzed and then immediately began to fly through the air, heading straight back to Luke and Ellie Mae. As he flew past, he was unaware that he incidentally awakened three black bats, who saw him as a snack opportunity and began to chase after him.
Evinrude looked behind him and yelped in fright and began to speed up as fast as he could to avoid being captured by the bats' teeth. He continued to fly until he saw shelter in a small cave that had glowing green rocks.
He immediately entered it and because the cave was too small. The bats couldn't get inside and even though they tried, they were hit by the sharp rocks. Evinrude was able to avoid touching them, but the bats continued to try to get inside.
Evinrude was glad though, because he wasn't that far from Ellie Mae and Luke's place, but he would have to wait until the coast was clear.
Meanwhile at Luke's and Ellie Mae's place, they had gathered their friends Deacon Owl, Deadeye Rabbit, Digger and Gramps. They all cheered as they geared up, ready for action. Louis was even ready for action.
"Are you ready to rescue that little young girl," Ellie Mae asked.
They all cheered. "Sure enough, Ellie Mae! Hallelujah!"
"Horrible, Ellie Mae. I was just a-waiting for someone to charge," Luke said.
"Dagnabbit! Let's cut the chin and move it," Gramps said.
"As old Grandpa raises their heads, his nose is plump from the joints," Deadeye Rabbit said.
"Easy now, Grandpa," Ellie Mae said, "we must stay here until Evinrude brings us the news from the dead flesh."
"And if the bug doesn't come here soon, they'll put the poor girl back in the black hole," Gramps said with worry for young Penny.
Unfortunately, since Evinrude did not make it to Ellie Mae and Luke's place, Medusa and Melvin were making Penny go down once again into the cave.
Bernard and Bianca had shrunk themselves to fit into Penny's pocket, and Bernard had made sure. Since down below, there were razor sharp rocks and he knew that if he touched any of the rocks.
It was almost high noon and Melvin took Penny over to the entrance of the cave and placed her down. Then he sneered at her. "Alright, you girl. Now you're going to the hole. You have to dig until you find my diamond. Do you understand? And don't blame me!"
Medusa, however, hugged Penny and said in a sickly sweet voice. "Uh-uh-uh! Snoops, there is no fashion to speak to our little penny lady."
Then Snoops said as he started lowering the bucket ready for Penny. "OK, boss, that's it."
"Now, my darling. You'll find that big shiny diamond for Aunt Medusa, won't you," Medusa asked sweetly.
Penny gulped as she saw the darkness of the cave and backed off hesitantly as she said, "Teddy doesn't like it being here. He's frightened. Aren't you, Teddy?"
"Oh, poor little tyke," Medusa said and then suddenly snatched the bear right out of Penny's hands, "I just let him be with me, where he'll be safe."
"Give me back my teddy bear! He's mine! He's all mine," Penny demanded, but Medusa pushed her back, almost causing her to fall down the hole, but Penny held onto the wall and she could hear the water swishing down in the cave.
Medusa's grin turned into a frown and she practically shrieked in Penny's face. "You go there and find the big diamond, otherwise you will never see each other AGAIN!!"
Penny nodded in fear and sat down in the bucket as she said, "OK, that's it. I'll go."
Then Melvin lowered her down until she reached the bottom of the cave. Bernard and Bianca climbed out of Penny's pocket and then unshrunk themselves. "Oh, this is really a horrible, frightening place," Bianca said.
"Yes. It used to be a pirate's cave," Penny said as she caught the lantern.
"How did you know, Penny," Bianca asked.
Penny merely pointed to her right and responded, "him."
Bianca and Bernard looked and was shocked to see the skeletal remains of a pirate. "C'mon, girls. Let's find diamonds that can leave here," Bernard said.
Suddenly, the cave shook a little bit and a rumbling noise was heard. "What is this," Bernard asked.
Penny pointed over to where a large deep hole was and responded, "that's where the water comes in. I'm afraid to go there."
Then Bernard thought of something and said, "well, if I'm a pirate, that's where I hide the eyes of the devil. I'll check it out."
But before Bernard and Bianca could start heading over there, a huge splash of water spouted out of the hole before stopping, making them all jump back. Then Bianca said as Bernard pulled out a bamboo stick. "Bernard, look! I saw it. Please, please. Let's see what this is."
"What are you doing there," Penny heard Medusa call out from above.
"I'M WATCHING," Penny calls back and then Medusa shouts back, "ALRIGHT, HURRY UP!!"
Bernard and Bianca began to look around. Bernard was looking over a skull and suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared from inside the skull, blinding Bernard for a moment.
"WOW," Bernard exclaimed.
Then Bernard turned to see Penny raise her lantern for a moment and then thought of something. "Penny, raise your lantern up again."
Penny did so and suddenly, a bright light appeared from inside the skull and Bernard looked inside to see a large beautiful shining diamond. "Holy mackerel," Bernard exclaimed, "this is it!"
Then Bianca took a look and called out to Penny. "Penny, the Devil's Eye. We found it!"
Penny nodded and ran back to the entrance and called out to Medusa. "Medusa, I found it!"
Medusa and Melvin grinned in emotion. Medusa called back. "Good girl! Good girl! Let's get it up here."
Bernard shrunk himself and Bianca again and the two of them climbed inside the skull. Bernard pushed the diamond from behind while Bianca pulled from the front. Suddenly, another gash of water sprouted from the hole, this time higher and more water came through. Then Bernard and Bianca began pushing and pulling harder, but the diamond wouldn't fit through the eye socket.
"Look, it won't pass through! We can't solve it out," Bernard exclaimed.
"WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG," Medusa shouts impatiently.
"It's locked tight," Penny called back.
"Are you dead?! YOU GET THE DIAMOND OR YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY," Medusa shouts.
Suddenly, the cave shook once again and Penny lost her balance and fell down the hole. But luckily, another gush of water sprouted out and pushed her out and on the other side of the cave where Bernard and Bianca were.
The water began to rise. "Forget the blasted diamond," Bernard exclaimed, "let's get out of here before drowning!"
More water sprouted from the hole. Penny caught hold of a rock and pleaded with Medusa. "The water's coming in fast! Please pull me up!"
"NOT THAT UNTIL YOU GET THE DIAMOND," Medusa shrieked once again.
"Penny, the pirate sword! Use the sword," Bernard said.
Penny caught the sword from behind her and placed the blade in the jaws of the skeleton and began pushing it up. Bianca and Bernard pushed the diamond as hard as they could and after a few more seconds of pushing and budging the jaws open, the diamond, Bianca and Bernard fell out of the skull.
Penny picked up the diamond just as more water flooded the cave and sending them all floating around the cave. Penny gasped as she saw Bernard and Bianca being taken by the current and heading for the whirlpool, where the hole was.
Penny forgot about her fear and swam over to them. She caught them in her hands and all of them were pulled into the whirlpool. The water pushed them out as Penny swiftly placed Bernard and Bianca and the Devil's Eye into the bucket before climbing in herself.
"I'VE HAD IT! I'VE HAD IT!! HURRY UP AND PULL ME UP," Penny shrieked.
Bernard and Bianca swiftly into Penny's pocket swiftly as Melvin began pulling the rope, bringing Penny back up to the surface.
As soon as they pulled Penny out, Medusa caught the Devil's Eye and held it in her hands and squeaked in emotion. "EVENTUALLY! THE EYES OF THE DEVIL!!"
Melvin laughed in emotion as well as he exclaimed, "it's worth millions!"
He walked over and begged. "Have me! Have a look at it!"
Medusa frowned at Melvin and merely gave him a ten-second look before covering it with her hands once more. But before Penny could get back up, Brutus picked her up by the hood of her jumper in his jaws.
Melvin frowned and said, "hey, this isn't a good look. I know that there's enough space to divide it into two equal shares."
Medusa pushed Melvin back with her boot and said as she began to head back to the boat. "YOU FOOL! CUT OUT THE PERFECT GEM?! THIS IS MINE!! THIS IS ALL MINE!!!"
Then Melvin realizes what Medusa is doing and chases after her as he shouts. "WELL, HALF IS MINE, YOU ARE DOUBLE-CROSSED!!"
"Put me down, Brutus," Penny demanded, but Brutus ignored her and began to carry her back to the boat, with Nero behind him.
Evinrude peeked from the cave and saw that the three brown bats were waiting for him to come out of the trees. He turned his head and saw that Luke's and Ellie Mae's place wasn't that far from where he was. Unwilling to wait any longer, he dashed out of the cave and began to fly at top speed towards the house.
As soon as the bats saw Evinrude that was out of the cave, they immediately flew after him. Evinrude pushed himself faster and faster and then immediately dove right into the chimney and squeezed out of the fireplace. He fell to the floor, shivering in pure exhaustion from all the flying he did.
Everyone awakened to the sound of Evinrude huffing. Then Ellie Mae exclaimed. "Oh, my heavens! This is Evinrude!"
"Where have you been in other nations," Gramps asked. Then Deacon Owl asked. "Do they want us now?"
"Stay back! Give poor Evinrude some air," Ellie Mae spoke out. Everyone took a step back and then Ellie Mae picked Evinrude up. "He became foolish."
Luke immediately pulled out one of his moonshine specialty drinks and said, "here, this will create a new bug in you."
He placed one drop of the drink in Evinrude's mouth. Evinrude's eyes widened as he swallowed it and then just like Bernard, he coughed for a moment. Suddenly, Evinrude floated in the air and buzzed at everyone like a trumpet and flew out the door.
"CHARGE," everyone shouts and then begins to fly behind Evinrude, following him to the boat.
They all ran up the ramp onto the boat. They found Bernard and Bianca downstairs, who then warned them the plan. Bernard gave Bianca a watch and said, "Bianca, you find my mother and rally the mice. I'll set you free."
"But be careful," Bianca said as she put the watch on and they both silently went upstairs, where Medusa was holding Penny and Melvin at gunpoint.
The two of them were standing past the wall as she held a powerful shotgun at them in one hand and Penny's teddy bear in the other. Medusa continued to frown furiously at her for double-crossing him. Bernard gave Bianca the end of the rope he was holding and they stood at the separate sides of the doorway, holding the rope tight ready.
"Shut up, Snoops, and stay put. If either one of you tries to follow me, you'll be blown up," Medusa sneered.
"You give me my teddy bear, you promised," Penny said.
Medusa, however, merely smirked and held the teddy bear tight in her hands as she said, "Teddy goes with me, my darling. I am very attached to him."
She chuckled as she began to walk backwards. She suddenly fell backwards on the rope and shrieked as she fell to the ground backwards, dropping the shotgun and the teddy bear. As the teddy bear landed, both Melvin and Penny saw something sparkling in the back of the bear and realized that Medusa had stuffed the diamond inside Penny's bear.
"MY DIAMOND," Medusa shrieked and she suddenly saw Melvin charging towards it greedily.
Medusa caught his legs and pulled him down. Penny immediately ran over and caught the teddy bear and began to run as Melvin and Medusa ran after her. Melvin caught Medusa by her legs and they both tripped over.
"CHARGE," everyone shouts as they immediately begin to attack Medusa and Melvin.
Medusa and Melvin were hit by gunshots. Melvin was wrapped up in bubble gum and was frozen. Then Luke pulled out his pitchfork around Medusa's waist and shrieked as the pitchfork stabbed her.
Brutus and Nero were about to help their mistress, but they both suddenly heard a whistle. They turned around and saw Bernard and Bianca floating inside the cage small as mice. Brutus and Nero immediately charged after them and soon as they were close enough, Bernard jumped with Bianca right out of the cage and closed the door behind them.
"NOW," Bianca and Bernard shout at Deadeye Rabbit, who then place a small device on the door of the cage. A perspective shield surrounded the cage and stopped both the green alligators from getting out.
Penny was at the swamp mobile, trying to start it up. Medusa appeared over the balcony and aimed her shotgun at Penny.
"WATCH OUT," Bernard shouts and just as Medusa fires the shot. Bernard jumped in front of Penny and deflected it with a viking shield.
Deacon Owl appeared in front of her and destroyed the shotgun with his own dynamite. Then Bianca sat behind Penny as she continued to try and start the swamp mobile.
"Oh, please do start," Penny said.
Bernard nodded and then looked at the swamp mobile by peeking his head inside the engine.
"Progress the spark," Bernard called out, "not the horn! The spark lever! Digger, catch this. Two hickeys on the steering wheel."
Deacon Owl and Deadeye Rabbit ran down inside the boat and lit up all the fireworks and immediately got out of there before they went away.
All the fireworks immediately off and began flying everywhere around the boat.
"SNOOPS, YOU AND YOUR BLAZING FLAMES!! AAHHHH," Medusa shrieked as she dodged the oncoming fireworks.
Bernard continued to look over the swamp mobile and then said, "we're not getting any gas!"
Luke immediately pulled out some of his own drink and handed it to Ellie Mae as she said, "fill her up, Luke! Hurry up, all of it!"
Ellie Mae nodded and began pouring the drink inside the gas compartment. The swamp mobile immediately started and Bianca held onto Penny as it took off. Bernard took to the air with Deacon Owl, Deadeye Rabbit, Digger, Ellie Mae, Gramps, Louis and Luke. Medusa, however, came out of the boat. And thanks to the confusion, she didn't have the ability to fly. However, she wasn't about to let Penny run away with the Devil's Eye.
She caught hold of the rope that was hanging off the end of the swamp mobile and started climbing up it. Ellie Mae saw this and used her rolling pin and blasted her back. Medusa, however, was not going to give up and held onto the end of the rope as she was being pulled along the water.
Suddenly, the roof of the boat exploded as Brutus and Nero were shot right out of the cage. The two alligators held onto each other as they landed in the water. At first, they were relieved to be alright, but their relief was short-lived as they saw they were about to be hit by the swamp mobile. They ducked into the water and avoided getting hit. However, as soon as they emerged, Medusa had landed on them and they were now being used as her water skiers.
Medusa kept hitting them with the end of the rope, which made them mad.
"WATCH OUT FOR THE RIVERBOAT," Bianca shouts as she sees they are heading for the riverboat.
Penny immediately turned the wheel and avoided the riverboat. The rope snapped and Medusa, Brutus and Nero gasped as they saw they were heading straight for the sinking riverboat. She shrieked as they flew up the ramp. Brutus and Nero avoided smashing. Medusa, however, hit the pipe and held on, grimacing in pain. Melvin, who was now floating in the water, couldn't help but laugh in his head that Medusa had lost her temper.
"We did it, Bianca," Bernard shouts in happiness. Bianca high-fived Penny and Bernard as she said, "oh, Bernard, this is great!"
Everyone cheered as they continued to head away into the swamp. "My diamond is gone," Medusa cried out in grief, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across Devil's Bayou. She held onto the pipe and climbed up a little as Brutus and Nero continued to try and eat her.
Back in New York at the Rescue Aid Society headquarters, everyone looked at the screen as a news report was being shown about Penny.
A man named Jimmy Jones was doing the news report. "And because of a brave little girl named Penny, the world's biggest diamond; the Devil's Eye, is now at the Smithsonian Institution."
Then the news showed Penny coming out of the Morningside Orphanage with her new parents as Jimmy Jones continued, "but what's more reluctant, folks. This little orphan's dream has come true. Today she's being adopted, and here she is with her new mother and father."
Penny grinned and hugged her new parents. Everyone in the building grinned warmly as they saw Penny with her new parents. "Bernard, I'm so happy for Penny," Bianca said to Bernard.
"Yes, uh...you could say Penny brought us together," Bernard said with a grin.
"You are a darling," Bianca said and then suddenly gave Bernard a swift kiss on the cheek, making him blush madly.
He suddenly reached over and the two shared a passionate kiss on the lips. They continued to kiss for a few more seconds and then pulled apart. Bernard grinned, hearing the frustrated woman shout his name.
They continued to watch the news. Jimmy Jones bent down to Penny's height and held the microphone to her as he said, "Penny, you are a brave little girl to do what you did all alone."
"Oh, I didn't do it all alone. Two little mice from the Rescue Aid Society helped me," Penny said.
"The Rescue Aid Society," Jimmy Jones asked.
"Yes, they saved me," Penny responded. Then she waves at the camera and shouts. "Hey, Bianca! Hey, Bernard!"
Everyone in the building laughed a little before the news finished. Suddenly, Evinrude flew into the building, carrying a note on his hand.
"Evinrude! What are you doing here," Bianca asked.
Evinrude landed and then Bernard handed the note away from his hand as he and Bianca read it. "It's another call for help," Bianca said.
"Here, uh...you need some volunteers," Bernard said.
Bianca immediately raised hers and Bernard's hands. Bernard's eyes widened and he said, "but Bianca, we just..."
"Oh, Bernard, adventure, suspense, intrigue, travel, exotic places. Oh, c'mon, darling. Let's go," Bianca said with a smirk.
Bernard, Bianca and Evinrude were once again in one of Orville's helicopters as he pushed against the snowy weather. Orville did a nose dive, which spooked them all a little bit, but he straightened up and continued to fly right as they headed for another mission.
