Soon after, the helicopter was pulled back down to the rooftop, and the police soon arrived with Sam and Jean in tow.

"Congratulations, weirdos," said Sam. "You've saved the Crown Jewels."

"And you've caught my nemesis, The Lemur!" Jean exclaimed, pointing to Dominic, who'd been apprehended. "Look at his little costume, that's adorable!"

"I'm not adorable." Dominic pouted.

"He is adorable." Sam agreed with Jean.

"You're adorable!" Jean beamed.

"Did you make that kitty-cat outfit?" Cherry smirked at Dominic who glared at her.

"The bad guy is Dominic Badguy!" Rowlf realized.

"Ohhhh..." The Muppets then realized the big plot twist, though it was obvious to Cherry and her friends, as well as the audience.

"And also Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale!" Mo glared. "It's been a while."

Boris and Natasha growled in response.

"By the way, didn't you guys have a daughter?" Atticus then added.

"Well, mon ami, I guess this is where we say goodbye," Jean soon said to Sam. "You go your way, and I go mine," he then sniffled a bit as he began to look emotional. "Here comes the rain. Oh, boy. And I said I wasn't going to do this."

"Pull yourself together, man," Sam told Jean firmly. "Stop crying. We're only saying our final farewell." he then suddenly broke down into tears before he suddenly hugged Jean. "Goodbye forever!"

"I'm going to miss you so much!"

"I'm going to miss you, my French friend."

"Does this jewelry look funny to anyone else?" Atticus asked as he observed the Crowned Jewels that were being brought back to where they rightfully belonged.

"Kinda, but not by much," Lionel replied. "Must be cuz of the angle we're looking from, I suppose."

Atticus soon took out one of the gems and decided to test his theory before tossing it against the wall and it shattered into pieces.

"Atticus!" Thor yelped. "You just doomed us all! Now we're gonna be Europe's Most Wanted because of you!"

"Allow me to explain," Atticus said. "Actual gemstones are hard and it's nearly impossible to break real gemstones with a distance like that."

"So... Those gems are fake?" Thor asked.

"They have to be," Atticus replied. "Just the question is, where are the real Crowned Jewels?"

"You mean... Those were not even real crown jewels?!" Constantine exclaimed. "CARMEN SANDIEGO...!" he screamed up to the sky. His voice seemed to echo all around the world.

The red-hatted female smirked as she turned around as she heard the echoing voice. "Constantine~... I believe that is checkmate." she then remarked to herself.

"I'm very sorry," Atticus told the guards. "It was almost a triple-cross with Dominic betraying Constantine, Boris, and Natasha and stealing the Crowned Jewels, but these are fakes."

The guards gasped and felt concerned.

"We just have to find Carmen Sandiego!" Thor gasped. "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?!"

Just then, one of the constables ran over carrying something in his hands.

"The Crowned Jewels?" exclaimed the chief. "Where did you find them?"

"I was given them by Officer Jessie, sir," The constable replied.

"She is out sick today!" The chief exclaimed as a small post-it note floated off of the package.

The kids all huddled to get a look.

KEEP THE CROWN, JEWELS AND ALL, the note read, written in red ink. MAKING CONSTANTINE ANNOYED IS THE BEST PRIZE OF ALL. -C.S.

"Wow." Atticus said.

Cleo soon leaped out and pounced in the air.

"No claws, Cleo!" Cherry called out as she held out her arms for her cat.

Cleo then unsheathed her claws and landed in Cherry's arms, knocking the perky goth down as she hugged her kitten as they fell together.

"Well, that's a relief." Atticus smiled.

"Also, is anyone Atticus Fudo, Mo Brown, Cherry Butler, Lionel Schwartz, and Thor Moltenscar?" The chief then asked.

"That's us." The group replied.

"This is also for you from Western Union," The chief then said as he brought over a sealed envelope for the group. "Apparently it was sent over when Western Union was first manufactured somehow and some old members spoke of a long-haired guy who dropped it off for you. It's from all the way in Norway and the long-haired man told the people there to send it over to this time and this place at this year, all the way from the year 1840 somehow before Western Union began operation in 1851. They were starting to make a bet that we wouldn't be able to find you," he then shrugged bashfully. "Looks like we lost."

Cherry took the envelope and saw a note on that back which said: "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL AFTER CURRENT ADVENTURE". She then shrugged and put the envelope in her backpack for the time being.

"We still haven't tracked down Carmen, but we can't give up, Sis." Zack said to Ivy.

"Right, Zack," Ivy replied. "So we might as well get going. Maybe this time, we'll beat her to the punch."

"Zack and Ivy? It was really nice meeting you," Atticus called to the detective siblings. "Sorry we couldn't help you stop Carmen Sandiego."

"It's all right," Zack said. "We're used to it, but we appreciate your help anyway."

"Perhaps another day, our paths will cross again." Ivy suggested.

"Let's hope so." Atticus smiled.

Zack and Ivy nodded as they soon walked off in the distance, off to another new adventure for themselves.

"I wonder if we'll ever see them again?" Thor commented.

"It wouldn't surprise me if we did." Cherry replied.


And so, Dominic, Boris, and Natasha were busted and being escorted away as Kermit reunited with Miss Piggy.

Kermit took a deep sigh as he looked at his fellow Muppets. "You know, I missed all of you so much." he then said to them softly.

"There he is, right there!" A female voice called out before everyone turned to see Nadya with other Russian prisoners. "Arrest him! Arrest that frog!"

"Omigosh, Tina Fey, I love your work!" Cherry beamed as she walked toward Nadya with open arms.

"Please don't tell me she's Boris or Natasha's long-lost sister." Atticus groaned to himself.

"Nah, that'd be lazy writing since they're originally animated characters from the 50's." Mo replied.

"Nadya?" exclaimed Kermit.

"Wait. For what?" asked Lionel.

"For leading the largest mass break-out in Gulag history," Nadya replied. "You will get 30 years. Maybe 50."

"But..."

"No "buts," Kermit," replied Nadya, making the frog shiver. "You didn't finish Gulag Annual Revue...and you didn't even say goodbye."

"What?" asked Kermit and Piggy.

"You are coming with me," Nadya said, gesturing to two of her fellow guards. "Now, move!"

Kermit suddenly found himself being taken up by the guards, much to the group's distress.

"Wait!" exclaimed Walter. "We're sorry, Kermit. We're sorry that we didn't notice you were missing. We're sorry we didn't tell you often enough how much you mean to all of us."

The other Muppets all realized how they hadn't listened to Kermit, and sadly bowed their heads.

"We're sorry we ever took you for granted. But that's never going to happen again," Walter continued. "Because if Kermit has to go back to the gulag, you'll have to take me, too."

"No..." Kermit said quietly.

"Y-Y-You're my best friend, Kermit," Fozzie shivered. "Wherever you go, I go. You'll have to take me, too."

"And me." Gonzo agreed. "Kermit, we convinced ourselves that evil frog was you because he gave us what we thought we wanted."

"When what we really wanted..." said Rowlf.

"What we really needed..." added Scooter.

"...Was you, Kermit," finished Miss Piggy. "The actual, real you. "

"I didn't just come back to be with Scooter, I came back to see you again, Kermit," Skeeter said softly. "It seems like we haven't been all together like this ever since we were babies, including me anyway."

"You all knew each other as babies?" Atticus asked the Muppets.

"It's complicated." The Muppets replied.

Kermit smiled as he felt touched by what was told to him as this looked like one last goodbye.

Nadya looked over at the Muppets as she even seemed to feel touched as she spoke again, very softly. "It would appear you were right, Kermit," she then told the frog. "I guess this is your family. And families belong together. You are free to go. Forever."

The guards then let Kermit go as he was free. The other Muppets then began to cheer as they were relieved and excited that Kermit was free to go and their family wouldn't be broken apart again.

"Hey, wait!" Kermit spoke up. "We still need to finish our world tour, and I think I know where we can play next. For one night only: SIBERIA, RUSSIA!"

Another cheer rang out in the crowd, as Nadya joined in this time.

"Wonderful!" The woman exclaimed. "It's terrible. You will hate it. You will hate it."

"Aw, ma'am, don't be like that." Atticus coaxed with his Mr. Happy Sunshine Boy attitude.

The Muppets continued to clamor in excitement anyway as it started to snow.

"Okay, guys, this is it. The Gulag Finale!" Kermit soon announced as they began to put on their show. "Here we go!"


Eventually, they were all stuck to the spotlight shining wall as the prisoners came together and palled around with each other.

"Together again, again, Gee, it's good to be together again, again~," Kermit sang as he was stuck with the other Muppets and the adventure team on the wall. "I just can't imagine that you've ever been gone, It's not starting over, it's just going on~"

Jackson smirked as he playfully punched Atticus in the arm just to be a good sport.

"Heh... Hey, Jackson." Atticus smiled wearily to his biggest enemy.

"I'm gonna let ya off the hook for today," Jackson smirked. "The next time I see you though, it might not be all chummy and friendly. Especially with my new girlfriend with me."

A redheaded, ponytailed girl soon walked over with a dark grin on her face. "Especially with my revenge on you for getting the Turners to fire me after my parents somehow found a way to stand up for themselves." she then narrowed her eyes at Atticus.

"Soon, my Kitten, soon," Jackson told Vicky. "We'll worry about him and his friends another time."

"Well, better her than any other unlucky broad," Lionel shuddered. "And I'd say this caper is wrapped up nicely... So about that envelope!"

"You guys have fun and hopefully we'll see you again," Atticus smiled at the Muppets. "But you know us, adventure never really takes a holiday."

All of the Muppets said goodbye to their dear friends as they went to go to a hotel before they would get back on track for back home.

"Buh-bye!" Animal grinned.

"Bye!" The others called back, laughing a bit to Animal's energy.

The others then sat down together in a hotel room as they opened up the envelope to take the letter out to read it aloud.

Dear Atticus, Cherry, Lionel, Mo, Thor, Patch, and anyone else there with you,

You're probably wondering why I've been so quiet lately, but I'm afraid I had a hard time making it back home when I was out exploring for your latest mission. I've been trapped here in 1840 Norway, I wasn't sure what more I could do to make it back home since my magic seems to be shorted out somehow, so I had no way to make it back home. I already sent a letter to Hilda and Zelda so that they could help out too, especially with the possibility for more magical energy from all of you since you all have your own magic. Especially since you guys have the ability to travel through time, hopefully you can come get me out of here so we can all go back home and I can find out what's wrong with my magic.

Yours truly, Drell Moltenscar & plus hurry as soon as you finish whatever adventure you're currently in!

PS: Elsa, Akito, Anna, Olaf, Sven, and Kristoff say hi

"Well... I guess we're still gonna be plenty busy," Lionel smirked. "Yo-ho; to 1840's Norway we go!"

"Let's get ready to prepare back home." Atticus nodded.

"And see Anna and Elsa again," Mo replied. "I didn't think we'd ever see them again."

"Hopefully Dimples doesn't get frozen again..." Cherry remarked before taking out her adventure scrapbook to let Lionel to see the first time they were in 1840's Norway.

Lionel took the book before seeing the picture a bit closer to see someone who resembled a certain friend of theirs. "...Is that Atticus?" he then asked.

Cherry snickered while Atticus blushed a little.

"It's a long story." Atticus mumbled.

"Well, you can gimme the abridged version when we're off on our way." Lionel replied.

Atticus sighed with a heavy sweat-drop. "This is gonna be a long trip going back in time." he then said out of embarrassment.

"Isn't it always?" Lionel replied. "At least, I assume it is."

"Yeah, I guess it always is," Atticus said. "Plus I'm sure the Muppets are happier to have Skeeter and Kermit back."

"I'll say," Cherry agreed. "Also I thought that purple-haired science kid was gonna be a long-lost Muppet or something, like Scooter and Skeeter's nephew or something."

"Guess it's just one of those random cameos you see in Muppet movies," Mo shrugged. "I mean, we saw that Beanbag Bunny or whatever his name is from The Christmas Carol crossover."

"You mean Bean Bunny?" Furrball asked.

"...Okay." Mo shrugged.

"I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Lionel shrugged. "In the meantime, so long, loyal readers! Tune in next story, where we're coming atcha from 1840s' Norway!"

"Who's he talking to?" Thor asked the others.

"You'll get used to it..." Cherry replied.

Cleo glanced out the window as she seemed to see Carmen escaping to go on yet another heist with Zack and Ivy attempting to go after her. And as they continued their chase, a certain song played.

"Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry 'Uncle'; From the Red Sea to Greenland, she'll be singin' the blues, Well, they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle; Tell me, where in the world is, Carmen Sandiego?~"

"Somehow I feel this won't be the last we'll see of her." Cleo commented from the window.

"Hopefully it's the last of Boris and Natasha." Patch replied.

Until next time, my friends, that is

The End
