### The North Pup

The thugs are disguised as ice cream men in the beginning of the film. They lure the last set of American kids into the fake ice cream truck with an irresistible smell. Once all of the American kids were lured into the truck, the thugs fled from Michigan, to their boss' island by converting the ice cream truck into a ship. They arrive at the island and goes inside the laboratory where they imprison the kidnapped American kids. After locking the cages, the thugs then leave to report to their boss about the kidnapping. While they were gone, Hansel and Cerberus tries to free the imprisoned kids until Whiskers confronts the duo.

Hansel and Cerberus were able to escape after they stole the canister of Hatred from the mad scientist. Whiskers angrily orders his thugs to capture Hansel and retrieve the stole canister of Hatred. Hansel and Cerberus lost half of thugs on the streets of Italy. However, more thugs come when the heroes are cornered in a dark alley. Luckily, the North Winds rescue Hansel and Cerberus defeats the thugs by using their powerful weapons.

With the kidnapping in America being complete, the men began to kidnap more and more children outside of America. Their next target was at a cooking contest in Paris. The thugs didn't have to do anything since Whiskers will be able to handle this kidnapping on his own. He's able to kidnap the children chefs and Cerberus. Later that night at Whiskers' lair, the thugs are ordered to guard the front and back door since Whiskers has a feeling that Cerberus will come to rescue his brother-in-law. The North Winds had the plan of luring the thugs away from the lair by disguising Corporal and Short Fuse as women.

Unfortunately, the thugs discovered that they've been tricked and goes into the forest to take Hansel, Classified and Eva as prisoners. The men sends the North Winds to their painful deaths while another group takes Hansel to the experimentation room. Whiskers later succeeds in his plan to turn the kids into mutant monsters and realizes them into the city while the thugs watch the destruction from a TV monitor.
