Nicktoons Hero Gang Meets Robin Hood

**Nicktoons Hero Gang Meets Robin Hood** is the eleventh episode of Nicktoons Unite Adventures. It tells the story of how the Nicktoons Heroes finally retrieve the Heart of Tricorn, while also helping an outlaw take from the rich to give to the poor.

## Plot

The episode is narrated by a rooster minstrel named Alan-a-Dale, who describes Robin Hood and Little John as outlaws who dwell in Sherwood Forest, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor people of Nottingham. They are constantly pursued by the Sheriff of Nottingham and his men. One day, they meet the Nicktoons Hero Gang, who are on their way to meet Master Shifu in Nottingham, when Prince John, the ruling king of England passes through. After Lord Rottenday drops off the Heart of Tricorn to Prince John, they somewhat calmly discuss how Sir Hiss, Prince John's trusted councilor, had willingly hypnotized King Richard into making Prince John a member of the High Council before going to battle in The Crusades, Prince John made himself king and began collecting taxes from the people of England to become richer. Robin, Little John and the Nicktoons disguise themselves as female fortune tellers and manage to steal from Prince John, who aptly has Rottenday make the outlaw their next target for the Heart-Stealing Machine, to which he agrees, but not before warning Prince John that should he fail, either he or his minions might serve as replacements.

The next day, the Nicktoons Hero Gang meet up with Po, Shifu and the Furious Five, and Shifu tells them that they tracked Tricorn's heart by focusing on her bad chi and followed it to Nottingham, where Hiss, who is revealed to be Viper's long lost childhood friend, lives. They enter the town as they see that Robin Hood was declared wanted in Nottingham and offered a £1000 reward for his capture. They are nearly caught by the Sheriff, but he lets them off the hook because they haven't done anything illegal, because they're new in town, and because they're with Shifu. But this doesn't mean they'll let Prince John's tyrannical grip slide as they secretly witness him follow Friar Tuck and steal from the crippled blacksmith Otto.

Later, the heroes accompany Robin Hood in disguising themselves as beggars after the Sheriff steals a single farthing gifted as a present for 7-year-old rabbit Skippy's birthday, and Robin cheers him up by giving him his bow and arrow. Skippy, two of his sisters, and their friend Toby run out as he tests out the bow, but Skippy fires an arrow into the grounds of Prince John's castle. The children sneak inside, meeting Maid Marian and her attendant Lady Kluck. Maid Marian reveals she and Robin were childhood sweethearts, but they have not seen one another for years and is afraid he'd forgotten about her, but Skippy is confident that Robin will rescue her, which Kluck later reinforces by consoling her not to give up on love. To prove this, Skippy "rescues" Marian from Lady Kluck, who pretends to be a pompous Prince John.

Meanwhile, the heroes learn that Robin is romantically infatuated with Maid Marian who shares his feelings, although they have not seen each other for years; and due to his distractedness, he burned the stew, which allowed SpongeBob to try and fix up Krabby Patties as Po provides Mr. Ping's soup. Then Friar Tuck finds the heroes, explaining that Prince John is hosting an archery tournament, and the winner will receive a kiss from Maid Marian and the Heart of Tricorn, which Tuck believes is an expensive piece of jewelry. Robin decides to participate in the tournament disguised as a stork and Viper reunites with Hiss whilst Little John disguises himself as Sir Reginald, the Duke of Chutney to get near Prince John, who then sends Hiss to keep an eye out for Robin Hood (to Hiss' dismay), while the heroes wait out in the crowd. As the archery competitors get ready, Maid Marian wishes the "stork" luck.

The tournament begins and the "stork" appears to be winning, and Hiss, disguised as a balloon, discovers the stork is Robin Hood and spots Viper with Prince John along the way, but he is stopped by Friar Tuck, who shoots him down and stuffs him into a barrel of ale. Robin wins, but his disguise is blown by Prince John who reveals the "Heart of Tricorn" prize was a ploy to lure out the Nicktoons Hero Gang and orders them to be executed. Little John and the Furious Five threaten Prince John, starting a battle between Robin, Little John, the heroes and Prince John's soldiers. Robin and Maid Marian are reunited, and the townsfolk all retreat into Sherwood Forest. After the battle, Prince John finds Sir Hiss drunk and ties him to a pole for his incompetence.

As Robin and Maid Marian fall in love again, the townsfolk have a troubadour festival spoofing Prince John, describing him as the "Phony King of England", and the song soon becomes popular with John's soldiers, with the Sheriff mentioning that they might make a version for Rottenday. Enraged by this, Prince John maximizes taxes to impossible amounts, and anyone who cannot pay is sent to jail, with Alan-a-Dale among the unfortunate ones. Meanwhile, the Nicktoons Hero Gang is on the run as they don't have money to pay for a heavy adventure team tax imposed by Prince John, resulting in Carl, Sheen, Cindy, Libby, Tucker and Sam to be arrested.

SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Danny, Timmy and Jimmy enter Friar Tuck's church and are welcomed as a paltry coin gets deposited into the poor box, which gets seized by the Sheriff. Enraged that the government has meddled in his church, Friar Tuck lashes out at the Sheriff, leading to his arrest, along with Mr. Krabs, much to SpongeBob's dismay. At the palace, Sir Hiss relays this news to Prince John, while mentioning the anniversary of Hiss being drafted is upon them and wishes to retire within the following year. Taking advantage of Hiss' feelings for Viper, Prince John orders him to oversee the hanging of Friar Tuck, knowing Robin Hood will come out of hiding to rescue his friend and give the potential for Robin and the heroes to be caught and sentenced to "multiple hangings".

Having learned of the plot, Robin, Little John and the heroes choose to sneak in during the night, with Little John and the others managing to free all of the prisoners while Robin steals Prince John's taxes, but Sir Hiss awakens to find Viper, who reassures him that she will get him out of the castle. However, with dawn approaching, a hidden Ruer hijacks the mission by tying Hiss to Prince John's foot, and chaos follows as Robin and the others try to escape to Sherwood Forest while. The Sheriff corners Robin after he, Danny, Po, SpongeBob and Sandy are forced to return to rescue Carl, Patrick, Hiss and Tagalong, but Robin, Po and Sandy are left behind as the gate closes. During the chase, Prince John's castle catches fire, and the Sheriff figures he has Robin where he wants, either to be captured, burned, or make a risky jump into the moat. Robin Hood, Po and Sandy elect to jump. While Sandy and Po barely make it, Little John and Skippy fear Robin is lost, but he surfaces safely after using a reed as a breathing tube. Sir Hiss says he *tried* to warn Prince John, and now look what he did to his mother's castle, causing the Prince to snap, exclaim "Mummy!" and suck his thumb while chasing the terrified snake into the burning castle, with Viper going off to rescue him.

King Richard, having returned, sentences Prince John, Sir Hiss, and the Sheriff to hard labor breaking rocks until the High Council can decide his final punishment, while reassuring Viper that should they vote for his acquittal, Sir Hiss will join the Nicktoons Hero Gang as an accountant, alongside Trigger and Nutsy, the Sheriff's vulture minions. King Richard also pardons Robin and Little John as the former marries Maid Marian and they depart to places unknown with Little John and Skippy in tow.
