Meanwhile, in the Ranger Tree, Rat Capone explained his plan to his minions. "My plan is to to kill all squirrels ", said Rat Capone.

Everyone gathered back at the Ranger Tree.

"I have a critical injury by injuries inflicted by Rat Capone's sneaky attack !", Gadget exclaimed. " Please, if I don't survive, Avenge my tragic killing !"

Dale looked at Gadget's wounds. "Ouch! That must really be painful! ", Dale said. Fortunately, Dale had seen Fantastic Voyage about a million times. he even recalled from his keen observations of Gadget's normal anatomy that the bones belong on the inside, so that is where he put them . "Come on, Gadget, don't leave me, the team can't go on without your cleverness!", Dale pleaded. Eventually, Gadget's condition stablized. Monty thinks up a plan. Monty's plan is to poison Rat Capone's soup supply . Mepps arrived at the Ranger Tree. Gadget went up to Mepps.

"I especially am noticing your impressive willpower in overcoming your leotard problem , Mepps", said Gadget.
