Arik Meets Popeye and Ali Baba's Forty Thieves

== Introduction==

This is a new adventure after Aaron, and the first Miztyk Knights meet this new hero, and so with out further ado, Here's Arik Meets Popeye The Sailor and Ali Baba's Forty Thieves.

Prologue
The scene opens up in a vast desert somewhere near Arabia. In the distance, we see a vast number of men on horseback riding off toward whichever direction they go. Among the group, they are led by a burly, fearsome bandit leading his gang in song. This was the leader of The Forty Thieves, not Ali Baba himself, but the man simply known as Abu Hassan

Abu Hassan: *singing* You better lock up your doors today, 'cause Abu Hassan is on his way, Go in hidin' When I go ridin', There's me and my forty thieves!

Your wives and children and money, too: I'll steal them from you before I'm through. I'm out gunnin', So start in runnin' From me and my forty thieves!

Abu Hassan!

Thieves: *singing* Abu Hassan!

Abu Hassan: *singing* My gang's the roughest, But I'm the toughest! And that's no lie.

Abu Hassan!

Thieves: *singing* Abu Hassan!

Abu Hassan: *singing* You've got to hand it To this bad bandit 'Cause I'm one terrible guy!

So the thieves sing their little jingle through the vast desert plains, letting those listening beware that Abu Hassan is leading the forty thieves to whichever town's closest. And to those less fortunate to meet the thieves, best prepare for a good robbery and missing a trinket or two

Chapter 1
Elsewhere on a nearby Island our heroes, The Miztyk Knights, are looking around the island, with the sun in the sky, and wind flowing through the way. These kids are led by there new leader, Arik Matsuhiro

Arik: (breathes in and sighs) Wow, what a beautiful view.

Hana: It's sure nice here, perfect for a new adventure, just waiting to happen.

Garry: Eh?! No Way, Its that who I think that is?

Arik: Wow, Its Popeye!

Jade: Come on, let's go see him.

Popeye was seen at the Cost Guard Posts, with his shipmate Wimpy, and his girlfriend, Olive oil.

Olive: Popeye, come here, I've got a surprise! *kisses him*

Popeye: *jolted* Left guard, right, front and center! *Olive kisses him again* As you were, attention, right side up!

Olive: Ooh, if you aren't just too-too… !

Arik: Hey! Hello there!

Popeye: Left guard, attention, front and center *swiftly turns to see Arik and his friends* Oh! Hello! Didn't sees ya get off the boat… *mutters to himself* As a matter of fact, didn't see any boat come by this port. it's nice to see yas again.

Olive: My, it's he an adorable boy.

Arik: Thank You, I'm Arik Matsuhiro. This is my sister Hana, my girlfriend Jade, The Next Avengers, This is Sapphire, Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Krypto the Superdog, Whiskers the Super Cat, Stellaluna, along with Ib, Garry, and Mary.

Popeye: Please to meets yas. I'm Popeye the Sailor, (turns to Olive) This is me girl Olive, and that's...(turns to Wimpy) That's Wimpy Radio: Attention everybody! Alarm! Abu Hassan the bandit has escaped, last seen headed thatway!
 * Suddenly, the Radio interrupts our heroes reunion with an important news bulletin, at the worst possible time*

Wimpy: Whichaway?

Radio: *a finger popping out* Thataway! *steals a bite of Wimpy's hamburger*

Garry: *eyes widen* What in the World?!

Popeye: Whoa! Man the arms! (starts the boat) Wants to come along?

Arik: You know it. Come on guys!

Knights: Yeah!

Olive: Hey wait a minute -- Wait a minute -- Wait for me!!! *hangs on to the tail end of the boat, till Wimpy pulls her in*

Popeye: Hey this ain't nothing for women! We're out hunting bandits! Hana: Wow!! Sweet boat you got here!
 * Suddenly, to the Knights surprise, the ship converts into a plane of sorts and sails high into the air*

Popeye: Thanks! *calls out orders* Keeps your eyes open for Bandits! Popeye: Maybe we better try across the street! *chuckles* Skip the gunner!
 * Arik, the other Knights, and also Wimpy keep look out with their binoculars (technically Wimpy using an old-fashioned telescope) as the boat-plane zooms practically from side-to-side on one side of the Earth seeking the bandits*

Jake: Anyone get the feeling like we're going around in circles up here?

Kaito: Yeah, Popeye, you sure you know what your doing? Popeye: Sures I'm sure! Popeye: Maybe I should trade this in... *the seaplane breaks down in mid-air* Something is definitely wrong… I'm right, that's wrong!
 * As the plane continues to fly around the sky, the seaplane's engine coughs and sputters.*

Krypto: Brace for Impact! Mary: Well, what now? Popeye: I wish there was a boardwalk on this beach. If I had some bread I'd make a Sandwich, if I had a "wich". Wimpy: FOOD!!! Wimpy: Bit of a disappointment.
 * The plane spirals downward to the ground and crashes right in the middle of the desert with a loud boom as smoke bellows out from the wreckage. Abel is the first to push himself out of the bits of the plane*
 * But the worst was still to come for our heroes. Without supplies, Arik, his team & his new friends were forced to face the fury of Mother Nature, traversing through the seemingly endless miles of desert from one day to the next. For The Knights and Popeye, with the former having gotten used to traveling in the desert, they managed to keep their spirits up and pressed on. But the desert's heat slowly began to take effect on both Olive and Wimpy, the two struggling to keep up*
 * Just then, Wimpy turns and looks hungrily at what appears to be a table full of food under a tree.
 * Wimpy rushes to the table and lunges for the tray. But when he lands, Wimpy hits sand. When he picks himself up, all he sees is nothing but sand everywhere*

Popeye: *calls out* Oh Wimpy! Would you care to join us young fella, huh? Ib: Looks like you fell for a mirage, an illusion, that tricks the mind. Popeye: Rest! Sapphire: Ackward. Wimpy: Popeye, Olive Oyl has collapsed completely!
 * Wimpy hobbles back to the end of the line as they continue to press onward through the desert*
 * The Quartet come across a red light in the desert*
 * They rest for a minute, the light turns green and they proceed on*
 * Suddenly, Olive Oyl collapses on the ground, clearly dehydrated*

Popeye: Whoa! Come on, keep your back up tight, Olive! *makes Olive walk on fours like a camel*

Hana: I... I don't... I don't think,... I can, (faints)

Arik: Popeye! We got another fainter. Popeye: Come on guys, we got to save the women and children from bandits! I'll get you out of this desert some way. Popeye: Water! Oh boy! Come on, I'll revise ya! Arik: Ahh, much better. Hey look, a police department, Let's ask them if they've seen any bandits.
 * Olive, Hana, and Wimpy collapse on the sand, the heat taking it out on them. Popeye tries to figure a way to urge them to move on*
 * Popeye holds the group like the tred of a tank and pushes onward to keep them moving through the desert. Finally, they mange to reach a nearby town and stop by a water pump of sorts*
 * Popeye practically lifts the water pump off the ground and pushes the pump rapidly causing a huge spray of water, splashing everyone in the face until they recover long enough to take a good sip of water. On the house, Popeye has a drink for himself then puts the pump back in the ground*

Popeye: *points to a cafe* But first, we'll go in there for a cup of cafe.

Jade: I don't know, maybe we…

Popeye: Come on in, Jade.

Olive: Oh goody-goody, am I starved. Jade: What gives, we only just got here. *hears his stomach growling* Besides, a nice lunch won't hurt. Popeye: Boy this place is wide open!
 * Popeye and his friends walks into the cafe, Logan just gives a sigh and shrugs*
 * The group agrees and follows the trio into the cafe and is curious to see how the entire cafe is practically deserted, as if it hasn't had a customer in weeks*

Sapphire: Looks like we didn't even need to book a reservation either! Whiskers: Where'd everbody go?
 * A strong scent reaches Wimpy, who inhales deeply as if mesmerized by the scent of food. The scent practically drags Wimpy into the kitchen as Aaron & his friends take a seat waiting for service*
 * Feeling impatient, Popeye slams his fist on the table practically sending sugar flying out of the pot*

Popeye: Service!

Olive: Yeah, that's what we want! Service!

Popeye: *hits the table again, this time sending the sugar back into the bowl* Service! Sapphire: How fast can one get?
 * Just then, a waiter with a large turban zipped in from out of nowhere and hands out a menu*

Popeye: *takes the foreign menu but looks confused* Hey, what is this, double billing? I didn't send out any laundry.

Ib: What's the matter, Popeye?

Garry: Can't read the menu?

Popeye: I can read reading, but I can't read writing.

Garry: (takes the menu and sees for himself) You're right, this writing is written rotten if you ask me…

Popeye: *to the waiter* Hey, this Chinese is Greek to me! Haven't you got something to eat? Garry: Oh, okay now that's better.
 * The waiter folds the menu into an English-reading version, showing "Bacon and Eggs 45 cents"*

Popeye: Bring us some dessert without any sand in it, and some sandwiches there… Popeye: Oh boy, am I hungry! Arik: Come on guys, Let's eat. Radio: Attention everybody! Attention everybody! Calling all towns and villages. Beware!
 * Swiftly, the waiter sets a table cloth out of his turban, moving the sugar pot on top. Then he removes trays of food out of his coat and arranges it neatly along the cloth. The trio are amazed with the service and look at the food hungrily*
 * Once again, the Radio interrupts Logan with a news bulletin*

Marry: Now What?!

Chapter 2
Radio breaks into a verse*

Radio: You better lock up your doors today! 'Cause Abu Hassan is on his way! Go in hidin' When he comes ridin' There's him and his forty thieves!

As the Radio continues singing, the townsfolk get scared and hide. The waiter, quickly removes the food and puts his turban back on, then hides himself in a flower pot, the flower dies ironically. Even the inanimate objects are scared at the mention of Abu Hassan's name and hide. For safety, Olive Oyl jumps into a pot*

Your wives and children and money, too: He'll steal them from you before he's through. He's out gunnin' So start in runnin' From him and his forty thieves!

Abu Hassan! Abu Hassan! In every village, He'll steal and pillage, There's not he'll spare!

Abu Hassan! Abu Hassan! If he should spy you, Then we defy you To cross his path if you dare!

After the song, the Radio shuts itself in all places and shifts into a small cabinet of sorts*

The scene shifts to Abu Hassan and the Forty Thieves singing yet another verse*

Abu Hassan: *singing* Abu Hassan!

Thieves: *singing* Abu Hassan!

Abu Hassan: *singing* When things get quiet, I start a riot As I go by! Abu Hassan!

Thieves' Horses: *singing* Abu Hassan!

Abu Hassan: *singing* And you'll discover They run to cover 'Cause I'm a terrible guy!

The thieves ride towards the nearest village, the same town that Logan & his friends are currently at. Plunging through the town, they ride through like a large blue of wind so thick that no one can see the riders. Popeye and The Knights get disoriented as they pass by them through the cafe*

Ib: Hey, What's going on?!

Popeye: Hey… Are you guys the Forty Thieves?

Garry: Now we got trouble. Wimpy: What, another illusion? I can't understand it… Abu Hassan: Giddup horsy! *charges at the duo*
 * In the kitchen, Wimpy is unknowingly robbed of sausages, twice*
 * Back outside, the leader of the Forty Thieves, Abu Hassan, charges toward Popeye and Logan*

Popeye: *fists up* Come on!

Abu Hassan: Hat! *steals Popeye's hat as he passes by him*

Popeye: *disoriented* Here must be a gale wind blowing through here someplace…

Abu Hassan: Coat! (steals Garry coat as he passes him.)

Garry: Hey!

Abu Hassan: Take shirt! *passes by Popeye again, and takes his shirt off him*

Popeye: Shirt? SHIRT! Hey, gimme back me shirt! What's the big idea?

Krypto: I'll Get him. *grabs Abu Hassan, pulls him off his horse and gets back Popeye's hat and shirt and Garry puts his coat back on*

Abu Hassan: Oh, you little tough guy, eh?

Popeye: *flattered* I make a pretty good model, huh? Take me home for a dollar ninety-eight, for half the price. How good is that? Popeye: Hey, your pin-knife's bent. I'll straighten it out for you! *Popeye grips the blade of the sword and bends it so it looks straight, much to Arik and his friends amazement and Hassan's shock*
 * Uninterested, Abu Hassan unsheathes his sword and aims it at Popeye and Logan*

Jade: Jeepers Creepers!

Abu Hassan: *outraged, hurls his sword at a tree* You… I show you. *clenches his fists till his knuckles turn into flats of nails*

Popeye: *feels his knuckles* You got rivetism. I'll fix it for you.

Popeye clenches his fist into a jackhammer and pummels Abu Hassan's knuckles to normal size

Abu Hassan: *toying around* Why you-- Look, look, look, see! Popeye: Huh? Popeye: Hey, give me back me belt, I paid a good price for that! *takes his belt back and puts it on* Okay, watch this one. Abba-dabba-kadabba! *pulls out Abu Hassan's long underwear* Abu hasn't got 'em anymore! *chuckles*
 * With a laugh, Abu Hassan steals Popeye's belt*

Abu Hassan: *takes back his long underwear* You want to make fool from me, eh?

Whiskers: Beat yourself to the puchline there. Popeye: Whoa, I'm burning the candle at both ends!
 * Finally having enough, Hassan tosses a dagger at a rope, causing the chandelier to fall trapping Popeye in it*

Mary: Hey!

Mary goes forward to confront Abu Hassan, who blows a horn summoning the thieves to steal the rest of the ornaments and jewels in the cafe. A number of them catch our heroes by surprise and knock them out, unconscious. The thieves continue going after the many things they steal: Bananas, the red-loop from the Barber, some gold teeth, and a fish bowl*

Olive Oyl: *emerging from a vase* Oh, I think I'll get out of here now… *sees the bandits approaching* Ooh, I'd better stay! *climbs back in* Olive Oyl: Popeye, Knights they're taking me away, because they like me! They like me, they're taking me away and I don't like it-! Abu Hassan: *singing* Abu Hassan! Abu Hassan! Now make no error / I'm called the terror / of every village and town! Popeye: Hey, what am I hanging around here for? Popeye: That's using your head! Where did those guys go to?
 * Unfortunately, the vase ends up being taken by the thieves, with Olive Oyl inside. Having gotten what they came for, the thieves leave the village once again singing their theme song. Meanwhile, Olive vainly calls out for help*
 * A bandit shoves a boot on Olive's head to stop her yelling*
 * Back in the cafe, The Knights wakes up from unconsciousness to see Popeye still hanging in the chandelier*
 * Popeye somehow burns down the chains with the candle lights and manages to return to the ground, head-first "literally"*

Henry: Bad news everyone, Olive, Wimpy, along with everything at this village are gone thanks to those thieves.

Sharkboy: We better go after them.

Popeye and The Knights rush out of the cafe and out of the town, mounting on a camel*

Popeye: Taxi! Taxi! Follow that Abracadabra Hassan guy over there! Come on, get going! Arik: They're way ahead of us! Come on boy! Show 'em your heels!
 * The camel rises and begins a languid walk*

Popeye: What's the matter with you, you sick or something?

Arik: *looks at the camel's feet* Oh great! They get the good horsepower and we get the slow rider!

Popeye: *also looks at the camel's feet* Hey, you got four flats! No wonder you can't run! Come on, there, camel cakes, step on it! Let's get going!

Lavagirl: Maybe the camel just needs a kick-start. *points ahead* How about we stop at that fueling station up ahead? Popeye: Think he's running dry, that's the matter.
 * They stop at the gas station as Popeye proceeds to fill the camel with water*

Azari: *sees the meter rise* Boy, you eat up an awful lot of gas for only a two-cylinder! Popeye: That's enough for you, young feller. Here we go! Tournn: *ready's the team* Now, it's our turn!
 * Finally the Camel stomach and humps are fully bloated with enough water to last him more than a week*
 * The camel speeds ahead with Th Knights and Popeye holding on for dear life. As the forty thieves go down one path, our heroes cut across by going around them and stop to what appears to be a dead end*

Popeye: Hmm, neat team… *turns his attention back to the thieves* Come on, the whole forty of you, I'll take you on one at a time!

Chapter 3
Abu Hassan: Open sesame!

The Knights & Popeye: *hidden, waiting for Abu Hassan* Open what? Abu Hassan: Close sesame!
 * A secret door opens and Abu and his thieves rush inside*

Popeye: *rushing up* Wait for us! Wait for us! Popeye: I wonder what that word was he used when he opened this door? Open sissy! Open sayso! Francis: Let me try. He used a password to get this door open, I see if I can remember it. (thinks for a bit) Okay,  Here we go.
 * The door slams shut just as Popeye and the Knights reach it*
 * They struggle to open the stone door, but it won't budge. But then, Aaron has an idea*

Hana: You can do it Francis!

Arik: Francis!

Knights: Aaron!

Francis: Open Sesame!

As soon as Francis spoke the words, The secret door opened up.

Arik: Let's Go!

Popeye: It's a violation for not having no exit which you can go into… Jade: Wow! Look at this place! It's huge!
 * Popeye and the others sneak through the caves, passing through every bit of loot and treasure the forty thieves have ever stolen ranging from gold coins, pearl necklaces, basically anything that the thieves deem valuable they took as their own*

Hana: This place is loaded with the villages treasure.
 * Just then, they hear a commotion going on at the far end of the cave. They stride toward a ledge and what they see startles the two. Olive Oyl reduced to a maid, washing clothes for the thieves, who just dump their dirty laundry into the tub water. Olive Oyl had no choice: It was either the laundry or her life. She was hopeless. While's for Wimpy, he was chained to a post and forced to watch Abu Hassan enjoy the benefits of good food and wine. But every now and then, Wimpy manages to reel in some chicken with his chain and Abu Hassan was completely oblivious*

Abu Hassan: *notices his chickens are gone* Hey! Must be thieves around here.

Popeye: C'mon guys, now's our chance!

Krypto: Roof, Roof, and away! Popeye: *to Abu Hassan* Hey, you gotta give back all them jewels to the people you took! Sapphire: Oh, hey, Wimpy. How did you get in here? *kicks a chicken over to Wimpy* Olive Oyl: Oh, this washing is getting heavier and heavier then I ca… *hangs Popeye on the line then realizes it's him* OH! POPEYE! *hugs him* My darling, my sweetheart!
 * Popeye and The Knights hurl themselves onto Abu Hassan's table, causing a bit of food to splash humorously into Hassan's face*
 * They notice a chained Wimpy*
 * They end up starting a fight, as Abu Hassan knocks Popeye and the others into Olive's washing tub*

Arik and the others end up still in the tub, spitting out soapwater.

Hana: Arik, I'm all wet. Arik: Why don't I like the sound of that?
 * Just then, Abu Hassan arrives and forces Olive into the hands of another thief. He grabs Popeye and the others and with a mighty punch heaves the duo into a series of pots, each of which has a thief that punches the two from one pot to another. Finally, the last thief punches the duo into a rope, that drops into a trap door and the two are hanging over a well*

Popeye: Hey, what is this, a wishing well or something? I wish I was out of this place, that's what I wish... Whiskers: Where did this Shark come from?!
 * A shark appears out of the water and makes several leaps to try and bite Popeye*

Popeye: Whoa! It's just a little flounder…

Garry: Flounder, nothing! That's a snapper!

Popeye: Whoa! Hey, if you love me, I'll bite your teeth out!

Ib: Um, Popeye, I think you're just making him more angry! Popeye: Somebody's gonna be sorry for this! *claps the shark's mouth shut* That'll hold you for a while!
 * They see the Forty Thieves laughing at them from above*

Stellaluna: Popeye, I don't know about you, but I think we've held back "long" enough.

Chapter 4
Popeye: *nods and pulls out his can of spinach* Open, says me! Arik: (awe strucked) How does he bloody do that? Krypto: WATCH OUT!!! Popeye: *spins like a top, delivering punches* Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-six, twenty-eight, thirty, thirty-two, thirty-four, thirty-six, thirty-eight, forty!
 * The can magically opens*
 * Popeye eats the spinach and to Logan's amazement, Popeye's muscles increase in size appearing as strong as army tanks. Together they rush up the well to the tune of "Yankee-Doodle Dandy"*
 * The group scatter Hassan and the thieves as The Knights and stands ready for battle. Hassan commands his army to attack the duo. Popeye and Sapphire easily take the thieves down one by one, Popeye knocking them aside with his fists while Sapphire uses her tricks, to fool the thieves away and trips them into the air like baseballs. Frustrated, Hassan charges towards the duo but Popeye flips him around with his feet and shoves him to a wall, causing a vase to fall on his head. This time, Hassan orders the thieves to attack in twos*

James: Here Comes Hasson!

Popeye: *jumps into Abu Hassan's clothes and punches him repeatedly* Here I am! Over here! Peek-a-boo! I see you! Sapphire: Here Something to improve your speed!
 * Popeye then jumps out of Hassan's clothes, covering his head with the cape and Logan hurls Hassan straight to a statue causing water to spill on his face. Now Hassan was getting really tense and orders the thieves to attack in fives*

Popeye: What's that?!

Sapphire: These! (puts on Popeye a pair of springs which help extend his arms.)

Popeye: *delivering punches* Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty!

Stellaluna: Who's Next?! Popeye: Oh, yeah? *turns into a bowling ball and knocks down the ten guards*
 * Ten of Hassan's best thieves form a phalanx and begin to march towards Popeye and Logan*

Francis: That Did it.

Having enough, Hassan grabs his spear and attempts to pierce the duo, but hits dirt and the duo fling Hassan straight into a treasure chest, the lid trapping the leader and sealed him locked tight with only his head sticking out. Embarrassed, he cries out in embarrassment*

Arik: And that is that. Hana: Now That was an Adventure.
 * Later, Arik, and his friends, Popeye, Olive and Wimpy return all the stolen goods to the citadel, in a carriage driven by Abu Hassan and his forty thieves.

James: Yeah.

Popeye: Hey, yous guys know of the original Miztyk Knights?

Arik: Yeah, Hana, and are Aaron and Megan's children.

Popeye: Well, Its a reals pleasura meetin yas.

Hana: You think we can see you again?

Popeye: Yep.

Arik: Alright guys, let's head off for our next adventure!

Knights: Yeah!

Popeye: Hopes to sees yas again soon.

Arik: Us too Popeye.

Popeye: Thanks for helping outs, by the ways.

Arik: Your Welcome. Well were off, See ya Later Popeye!

Knights: BYE!

Popeye: So longs! *singing* I may be a shorty But I licked the forty I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! *toot, toot*

The End
