The Case of the Ice Piano of Death



Chapter 1 - The New Case





The Rangers are in their tree waiting for any caper. Chip is studying up on detection. Dale is sleeping, dreaming about super duper stick. Gadget is working on a project, a new kind of camera.The project is going well, because she had all the required parts in stock . Monty is cooking up a swiss cheese egg roll. Zipper is buzzing around. Suddenly, they saw a news report, informing them that Rat Capone had ilegally created the Ice Piano of Death!
"We have to thwart Rat Capone and reclaim the Ice Piano of Death, or else he may harm rock!" Chip said. So they went hunting for Rat Capone and the Ice Piano of Death.
Meanwhile, in the Ranger Tree, Rat Capone explained his plan to his minions. "My plan is to to kill all squirrels ", said Rat Capone. Being dumb, they inquired if he also planned to destroy the dish washer industry now that he had the Ice Piano of Death. Rat Capone said that he would indeed, and he already thought of it . They all brooded darkly.

Chapter 2 - The Search




The rangers were looking for any trace of the Ice Piano of Death or Rat Capone.

Chip went to the bank. The bank, next to a Pet Store, is noisy with anticipation. Chip carefully searches the place. Chip finds an pleasant scepter , clearly suggesting that the Ice Piano of Death is hidden in the Ranger Tree. He goes there to investigate. Dale searched Cat Alley. Cat Alley is devoid of cats today. Dale looks around the location and searches for anything interesting. . Dale sees nothing of interest. Gadget traveled to the Ranger Tree. The Ranger Tree is dirty. Nimnul is there. Wart is there. Mole is there. Rat Capone is there. Snout is there. Lahwhinie is there. Gadget spies on Rat Capone, holding the Ice Piano of Death. Monty goes unnoticed. Monty went to Fat Cat's Casino. Critters are betting on spork fights and eating egg roll. Monty searches the location for clues. Monty sees nothing of interest. Zipper went to the cola bottling plant. The cola plant still smells of death. Zipper searches the place. Zipper finds a bloody crystal , and thinks it means Ice Piano of Death is in the Ranger Tree. He goes in that direction to look.

So the Rangers knew about the location of the Ice Piano of Death.

On the way to the Ranger tree, Gadget is taken unawares by Rat Capone's minions, led by his agent, Sewernose de Bergerac. They beat Gadget to a fuzzy pulp and then leave her for dead. Fortunately, Zipper saw this from a distance and ran to save her. Zipper helped Gadget back to headquarters.

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.

"Oh, you noticed, Gadget", answered Mepps. "I was afraid you thought I had a junkie tail ."

Their conversation was finished by their leaving to destroy Rat Capone and return the Ice Piano of Death.

Chapter 4 - Epilogue




Although hard they had prevailed and ensured that the Ice Piano of Death was out of Rat Capone's hands forever. They sold Chip's corpse to Nimnul's Lab since they didn't want to be wasteful.They donated his hat to the Smithsonian. Dale got the proper Neopagan funeral rites.They donated his comic book collection to the Smithsonian. It turned out that Gadget survivied her apparent death, the one that died was Gadget from an alternate universe. They had a funeral for Zipper who died of Nimnul's attack. Apparently both Gadget and Mepps died, so there is no insipid romantic subplot in the conclusion!
