The Gangreen Casino is Open/Negaduck Learns the Gangreen Gang is Alive From Puppetmon

*(In the following three days since after winning their bet and its betting money on the Grand Chawhee's birthday, the Gangreen Gang's group, Satsuki, and Mei are on a great winning streak, winning more and more animal race bets thanks to Satsuki and Mei's participating animal talking skills, first with a frog and toad race, followed by a turtle race, and finally, a kangaroo boxing match, and they couldn't be more happier about those. And the best part for them; Negaduck and his goons still have no idea about them and all of this so far. After winning a lot of that money for the past three days, the Gangreen Gang's group then remembered their promise for Satsuki and Mei to help buy them new clothes and help the poor and innocent rich people via charity runs, and they did. Among the new clothes Satsuki and Mei bought are their own new set of dresses. Satsuki, for now, is now wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt underneath an orange overall dress, and a new identical pair of blue shoes, and Mei, again for now, is now wearing a white short-sleeved shirt underneath a pink overall dress, and a new identical pair of yellow shoes. After that's done, they proceed to help with some charity runs for the poor and innocent rich people, including those who are homeless and/or lost their homes to past storms like hurricanes. But to the Gangreen Gang, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four's confusion, they noticed that those kind of good deeds for the charities are not even helping grant the Gangreen Gang mortality again. Regardless, however, they are enjoying their newfound rich and business life with Satsuki and Mei's willing and cooperating help out of friendship and loyalty. After that's all done, they used some more of their money to help build a new casino for the Gangreen Gang's business venture. After all that hard work designing and constructing the building, they were able to build and finish it fast thanks to the community's help, that even the police, having found out about the Gangreen Gang's good deed work for the charities just recently, helped out in the construction. Finally, after it's all done, the casino, now called "The Gangreen Casino," has finally opened, and the best part; Everyone, having heard about Negaduck "Almost killing" the Gangreen Gang, agreed to keep the Gangreen Gang's still alive a secret, helping use their new casino under the guise that it's a dedicational honor for them upon their "Deaths." A week after it opened, business was booming successfully, along with the Gangreen Gang's "Dedicational honor," with a jazz concert performing on a stage nearby and even all of their friends from Negaduck's casino enjoying and hanging out, and the Gangreen Gang approached the bar the Fearsome Four are running, with Team Rocket running the casino's Gambling Section. Upon arrival at the bar, the Gangreen Gang happily greeted one of their old friends from Negaduck's casino, the one who asked Ace if he and the rest of the Gangreen Gang were supposed to be on death row, according to what Negaduck claimed, earlier, who happily greeted them back)*

Ace: Hey, pal!

Arturo: What do you know, what do you say?

*(The sixth male gambler then happily presented his cash he won in a fair bet from his bag)*

Male gambler 6: (Proudly) This, that's what!

Snake: (Proudly giving a thumb's up along with the rest of the proud Gangreen Gang) That'sss ussssing your head!

Billy: Yep!

*(They high-fived with a brief happy and satisfied chuckle)*

Gangreen Gang: Enjoy!

Male gambler 6: Thanks.

*(Then he walked away to continue having fun. Then Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four happily approached the Gangreen Gang, feeling proud and less nervous than they used to be over Negaduck finding out eventually, for everything is, surprisingly, working out fine like the Gangreen Gang promised)*

Ace: Well, guys, I gotta hand it to ya.

Billy: All that hard work on those bets was defitedly worth it.

*(Grubber blew some raspberries)*

Billy: (To Grubber, understanding him sheepishly) Oh, sorry. *(To the Gangreen Gang's group, correcting himself happily)* I mean, "Definitely."

*(He guffaws a bit)*

Jessie: And I guess we'll hand it to you guys.

Megavolt: Everything you planned and that we worked hard on, it was, indeed, worth it.

Bushroot: And you were right.

Liquidator: Negaduck and his goons *still* don't know of this.

Quackerjack: All thanks to the community's kind gratitude to us for our charity works for them by covering our tracks.

James: Including, surprisingly, the authorities assisting us because of said charity runs.

Meowth: Despite, to think before, that we broke you five out of jail weeks ago, right?

Gangreen Gang except Meowth: (Agreeing) Yep!

*(Then Satsuki and Mei, wearing their sundresses again, approached them, all eager and happy, with some suitcases carrying their belongings, including their new clothes they bought, and even a bag full of some of their and the Gangreen Gang's group's money they rightfully earned from their winning bets and/or charity runs. Noticing them, the Gangreen Gang approached them happily while Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four got confused)*

Ace: All ready to head out now?

Satsuki and Mei: Yep!

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: (Confused) What's going on?

Mei: Well, you definitely kept your promise to help us with clothes and charity runs, as well as find us new parents in the form of our aunt and uncle.

Satsuki: Which, in turn, we kept our promise to help you open your business here. So, there's one more charity run we're going to do now before we head off to our new home and family tomorrow.

*(Realizing immediately, Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four got happy)*

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: (Realizing happily) Oh, the church!

Ace: Where more of our friends live in.

Billy: They may not be completely richer, but we's promised them to go help them tonight.

Snake: And the bessst part; We're havingsssss a non-formal dinner party with them at the church.

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: (Happy to hear that) Oh, that's great!

Liquidator: Then have no fear, Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four are here!

James: We're definitely gonna run this casino in your absence.

Jessie and Meowth: That's right! (Meowth, that's right!)

Quackerjack: Go have your fun!

Megavolt: We got everything under control.

Bushroot: Tell them we said "Hello.", okay?

Satsuki, Mei, and Gangreen Gang: (Bidding them a goodbye and good night) We will, and good night!

*(Then after Satsuki and Mei hugged Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four besides the Gangreen Gang, the Gangreen Gang's group got briefly surprised by that surprise hug again, but then shook it off and happily resumed their businesses after the hug ended. Then with that, the Gangreen Gang, Satsuki, and Mei left with both the girls' belongings and money in tow. After they're gone, Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four happily resumed their business for the casino)*

Bushroot: You know, I have to admit; Those girls aren't so bad.

Megavolt: I'll say.

Quackerjack: (Pulling out a towel to wipe a section of the bar counter clean) Why else do some people say most of us, especially me, are good with children?

Liquidator: It's like they, being 8 out of 10 people, say; You have such a way with children.

*(Nearby, while Liquidator said that, a familiar-looking man entered the casino, all amazed and dumbfounded altogether. This is Carl Car, and upon hearing Liquidator finish what he just said, he then quietly mocked him)*

Carl Car: (Mumbling and mockingly) You have such a way with children. *(Scoffs in disgust, then loudly in happiness)* Hey, guys!

*(Hearing him, Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four noticed him and, remembering him, got all casual in a calm and nonchalant happy way with some hints of pretend sentimentality)*

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: (Casually) Oh, hey, Carl Car.

Bushroot: (Casually) It's been a while since we last saw you.

Carl Car: Yeah, well, it's been weeks, and we haven't seen ya lately since the Gangreen Gang's deaths. What have you been up to since?

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: Does it matter?

Carl Car: Well, yes, it does.

Meowth: Why ain't you at Negaduck's casino instead?

Carl Car: Because I was just wandering by in the neighborhood to check up on you guys and the Fearsome Four.

*(Then he whispered narrowly)*

Carl Car: (Whispering narrowly) And rest assured, I won't tell Negaduck.

*(Feeling relieved calmly upon hearing him, Team Rocket and the Fearsome Four came clean on the casino they're currently in, although embellishing it with their claims of the Gangreen Gang "Still dead")*

Liquidator: Well, we've been busy building this lately.

Jessie: And then working on this casino in the Gangreen Gang's honor.

Carl Car: (Perplexed and curious) "In the Gangreen Gang's honor?"

James: Yep.

Meowth: We may still be mad at Negaduck for murdering the Gangreen Gang, but we're doing our deceased friends proud.

Megavolt: Carrying on their gambling business legacy.

Bushroot: Like any good friend would.

Liquidator: We could possibly forgive Negaduck, but we will never forget what he did to them.

*(Carl Car seemingly understood)*

Carl Car: I see. That's very sweet of you.

*(Then he placed a dollar bill on the bar counter)*

Carl Car: A mug, please.

Fearsome Four: Sure.

*(Then the Fearsome Four pulled out a beer mug and filled it with some beer. Then after handing it to Carl Carl, he accepted it and drank some of it)*

Carl Car: (Saluting a toast) To the Gangreen Gang.

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: (Saluting a toast with their soda pop cans and/or beer mugs they filled with soda pop) To the Gangreen Gang.

*(They clinked their glasses and drank a bit. After that, Carl Car got up and left, bidding them goodbye)*

Carl Car: Have fun with your business venture, and good night!

Team Rocket and Fearsome Four: We will, and good night!

*(Then with that, Carl Car left the casino. Once outside out of the casino's range grounds, Carl Car then suspiciously narrowed his gaze, searching for something. Then sure enough, he spotted from afar, the Gangreen Gang, with Satsuki and Mei, happily exiting a pizza parlor with some pizzas in their own pizza boxes. Immediately, he smirked evilly, now realizing)*

Carl Car: (Whispering) Perfect!

*(Then he left and met up with, shocker and surprise, Puppetmon and the rest of Negaduck's goons)*

Puppetmon: Did you find out about that new casino, Carl Car?

Carl Car: Oh, yeah. They claim it was a "Dedicational honor" to the "Late" Gangreen Gang.

Puppetmon: (Confused and dumbfounded) What's with the tone representing "Quote, unquotes?"

Carl Car: Well....

*(He then whispered in a huddle with Puppetmon and the goons, and then as soon as it finished, the huddle abruptly ended with Puppetmon and the goons being shocked on what Carl Carl just told them of his discovery)*

Puppetmon and goons: WHAT?!!

Puppetmon: The Gangreen Gang still alive?!

Thundermyte: And *they* have the girls?!

Carl Car: Yep.

*(Later, back at Negaduck's casino in his office, a piece of roast beef was lowered into a well-like pit on a chain and upon dunking into the water below, a school of piranhas immediately swam up to the meat and gobbled it all up, leaving it nothing but a bone. After that's done, the chain holding the bone still was then raised up by a mechanism run by one of Negaduck's goons, and Negaduck, sitting on his sofa chair with his machete and cigar sitting nearby him at a side table, was not happy at all while also giving an evil angry-looking smirk as we suddenly hear Puppetmon speak up in worry)*

Puppetmon: (Sounding worried) I knew we should've just cut their hands off. And I just got my order...!

*(Then Thundermyte and Carl Car approached Negaduck with Puppetmon, his arms and torso tied down tightly in ropes along with his hands tied tightly behind his back and his ankles tied tightly together, as well as his giant hammer and marionette cross removed and his hat tied on his head by a rope as well, in their clutches, as they hung him upside-down by his tied ankles to a conveyor hook after removing the bone from it)*

Negaduck: (In tranquil fury, still giving an evil smirk) I cannot believe the Gangreen Gang are still alive. And then having the *audacity* to take the girls from me behind my back like that!

*(Then he picks up his cigar, which he lit)*

Negaduck: (Puffs some smoke in Puppetmon's face, making him cough a bit) Puppetmon, you disappointed me, so it's strike two. *(Then he makes a "You're out" thumb gesture while putting out his cigar in a nearby ashtray)* And you're out.

*(Puppetmon, after his coughing was finished, then got into a panic attack as he struggled to free himself to no avail)*

Puppetmon: (Dumbfounded in a panicked way) Strike two?! You meant strike three, right?! Boss?

*(Then as soon as Puppetmon's tied ankles are secured on the hook by Thundermyte and Carl Car, Puppetmon immediately freaked out and tried to explain away)*

Puppetmon: But first off, it's not my fault! Secondly, I just got...!

*(But Carl Car immediately gagged Puppetmon with a white cloth gag)*

Negaduck: (To Puppetmon, smugly, then darkly) Nothing personal, it's just business. *(To another one of his goons)* Lower him.

*(Then the goon activated the chain mechanism and Puppetmon was slowly lowered down towards the piranha pit, much to his worry and panic as he struggled frantically to no avail again. As he is heard giving out some panicked muffled shouts and screams for help, Negaduck and his goons began to chat away immediately, ignoring Puppetmon)*

Negaduck: It's like most villains say; If you want something done, do it yourself.

Thundermyte: I'll say.

Goon 4: So, what now?

*(They begin pondering a new plan to kill the Gangreen Gang and kidnapping Satsuki and Mei again)*

Carl Car: How do we handle 'em?

Negaduck: (Begins pondering) Possibly knives?

Goon 2: Too slow for a death.

Negaduck: (Nods while still pondering, picking up his machete and using it to gently file his finger nails with its blade) You're right. Poison?

Thundermyte: Again, too slow.

Negaduck: (Finishing filing his finger nails gently and then savagely putting down his machete bladepoint onto the floor by stabbing it) But what dumbfounds me is how the heck did they survive being run over by a car?! I mean, nobody like them, in that logic, could survive such an impact at the docks. So, how could running them down with a car at the docks not work suddenly?

Goon 1: We even saw them lifeless when we killed them that night.

Negaduck: And yet they still survived. Why? Let alone, how?

*(In the pit, Puppetmon, getting a bit closer to the piranha-infested waters, finally loosened his cloth gag and ungagged himself by spitting it away and then he called out to Negaduck and the goons again)*

Puppetmon: Boss, wait! I'm trying to tell you, I ordered and just got a gun!

*(Hearing Puppetmon say that back up in the office, Negaduck and his goons got confused that they looked down, with Negaduck glaring in both confusion and suspicion)*

Negaduck and goons: A gun?

Negaduck: (To Puppetmon, calling out) What do you mean a gun? What kind of gun?!

*(In the pit, Puppetmon is almost near the water, much to his worry)*

Puppetmon: (A bit quickly in a terrified tone) If you pull me up, I'll tell you!

*(Then his head submerged in the water, and then, just when, to his panic, his head was gonna be piranha chow as the piranhas swam up to him to try and eat him, he was then lifted back up by the chain's mechanism, although one piranha only bit onto his nose)*

Puppetmon: (Nasally with his nose bitten by a piranha) Hey, let go of my nose! You would not like the taste of metal!

*(Upon finally making it up to the office out of the pit, Puppetmon finally shook the piranha off of his nose and then the trapdoor leading to the pit closed up and hidden itself away back in the office's floor)*

Puppetmon: (Nasally while shaking the piranha off of his nose, trying to explain) I got, I got, I got, ow, ouch!

*(While this is also happening, the goons cut Puppetmon's ankles free from the hook and then proceeded to cut him free from the ropes, untying him and even his hat while Negaduck got impatient while pulling out another cigar and lighting it)*

Negaduck: SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!!!

*(Then he calms himself as he puts the new cigar in his mouth)*

Negaduck: What gun?

*(Once untied completely as he rubbed his freed wrists and then reaccepted his hammer and marionette cross and adjusted his now untied hat, Puppetmon explained away finally)*

Puppetmon: I literally ordered, and just got today, a Flash Gordon Thermo Atomic Ray Gun, based on the said infamous ray gun from the show and movie, "Flash Gordan."

*(A short pause, then....)*

Puppetmon: I like "Flash Gordon."

*(Negaduck then smirked evilly, not in tranquil fury this time, but instead liking the sound of using a gun, let alone a ray gun, against the Gangreen Gang in order to kill them again)*

Negaduck: (Smirking evilly and wickedly) A ray gun....

*(Then he chuckled evilly a bit, and as we briefly and slowly zoom into his face, some smoke surrounded his face from his lit cigar and, as if in a twisted nightmare-fueled imagination, he slowly formed into a devilish-looking version of himself, still giving out a wicked evil toothy smirk, complete with a cigar)*
