I think both adorable Lemy & Rascal will got arrested and they explained that they were cheated by Devious the duck and the police listened to them and investigated the case.Eventually they solved the case by interrogating Devious thoroughly and Devious Duck told them the truth as he was scared. Devious Duck was jailed. Devious promised not to be a trickster anymore and turned into a new leaf.

They  will  go  back  to  the  Devious  duck  and  have  it  out  with  this  cunning  duck ..................

Thanks for your new contributions, but as you can see, Devious has other plans.

Previously on Lemy & Rascal..............Our friends discover the transmitter in the broken ring and realise that Devious intends to catch them. READ ON

Lemy and Rascal called all the other animals together.

"This is serious", they told the others. "Devious Duck is looking to capture us so that he can then pass us on to that evil Mr Weasel. All the animals shuddered*(1) at the name "Mr Weasel", because they remembered him well from the time he attacked their base.

"Well, we can try and hide," said Lemy, but I don't think that'll work because the transmitter we destroyed could have already sent our location back to that duck.

"We'll know for sure if we wait a while," replied Rascal. "If Devious knows where we are, he'll come soon enough."


Rascal gave instructions to the other animals to pack their belongings and to be prepared to move to the two huge spaceships that were hidden in the back of the island. SuperTrain had only just presented them with these two craft when he, Lemu and Raiee had come by earlier.

Lemy was upset because they had to leave the place - and it was all because of his carelessness. Rascal was, as usual, very understanding and told Lemy that he had already set up a beacon*(2) that would notify SuperTrain when he came back to the island.

Rascal's worst fears came true within minutes. Up in the sky, Devious Duck and his friends appeared. Everybody wondered what it was that the ducks were carrying between their webbed feet. They were too high up in the sky to be seen clearly.

Suddenly, as the ducks dove down, Rascal recognised the pieces of metal that the ducks were carrying. BOMBS!

"Look out everyone!!" he shouted.

The warning came a little too late because by the time the animals realised what it was that the ducks were dropping on them, there were explosions all over the place.

The animals scrambled quickly to get out of the way and while Lemy went towards the air defences, Rascal organised the rest of the animals to make a hasty retreat.

"To the spaceships!" he cried, pointing the way.
The animals under attack weren't all that helpless either.... Led by Lemy, they fired coconuts right back at the flying ducks.

The ducks were caught off guard*(3), and Devious was hit by a particularly huge coconut, just as he was about to dive in for another attack.

And who was it who hit Devious?

It was Lemy, of course!     >    >>   >>>       > > >  >   > > > > >

Despite chasing away some of the ducks, both Lemy and Rascal knew in their hearts that they would not be able to stay at the island any more.

Although it was once their home and an excellent hideout, it would now be nothing more than an open invitation*(4) to be captured, if they continued to stay. As Rascal boarded the craft, he activated the homing beacon that would lead SuperTrain (and Lemu & Raiee) back to them, wherever they went.

Reluctantly, the two craft lifted off and in minutes, they were gone.

AND THAT, IS THE END OF PART 4

(*2) beacon - a device that continually sends out signals or messages.

(*3) caught off guard - when something happens to you unexpectedly and you don't know how to deal with it.

(*4) an open invitation - when you invite someone or a group of people to come by and visit you anytime they want to.
