Half an hour into the tickle torture, and Eys and Chick were in hysterics, sobbing uncontrollably inbetween fits of loud screams and giggles. Doctor Wolfgang Darang was relentless, using tools like nerve wheels, stiff feathers, electric devices and his "Widowmaker" brushes on the soft, sweaty soles and toes of the sisters, whose bare feet have gone through so much over the past week. They knew Darang wouldn't stop or get tired, and even them, he could get his Barefoot Feminists to help out with their final moments. After the half hour mark when Darang was busy tickling the life out of the sisters, he and Ania felt as if something moved in the air. The two paused for a second wondering what that was, and recommenced what they were doing. A minute later it happened again, something moving swiftly in the air above them, with the camera tripod wobbling a bit from it. "Who or vhat is that?" sneered Darang "Find out vhat that is, and get rrrrid of it!" Ania nodded and looked around. Right as she looked above her, she saw a bare foot hurtling towards her in a split second before being knocked spark out by that barefooted kick. Out of the darkness emerged a girl about the same height and build as Chick, but probably younger. She had long dark blonde hair with long bangs going over her eyes, was decked out in tight black attire with an ankh symbol hanging from her choker, and had relatively big bare feet for a girl of her somewhat slight stature. The girl was crouched on the floor ready to pounce, not taking her eyes off Darang. Ania recovered from her stupor and tried to attack the young girl from behind, but she jumped away, leapt off a wall, and hit her with a roundhouse kick to the face, knocking Ania silly and unconcious. The girl then looked at Darang again. He then stopped what he was doing and sauntered towards the girl, smirking "I know you!" Darang went to grab her, but she was quick like a cat, leaping off walls and away from Darang, giving her enough distance for her to attack back. She landed many punches and kicks on Darang, unable to counter or defend himself. As he went for a weapon, the girl hit him hard with a roundhouse kick to the face, bloodying his mouth and sending him slumped to the floor. The young girl then took a quick breather before approaching Eys and Chick.

"Who are you?" the sisters asked the girl. "The name's Ta-Shi. I'm working as part of an operation to rescue you two by Poisonous Monkey's request. He would've loved to join me here, but his sciatica has flared up recently and the doctors advised him not to go. Nevertheless, he heard Darang's message, so he immediately contacted me and I got help from a covert team so we can free you on his behalf." "Wow, you know our Tito Chimp?!" Eys and Chick asked "Yes, I owe him a favour, concerning Darang over there. So I'm here repaying my debt to him... and getting my vengeance on Dr. Darang here..." said Ta-Shi moodily, as Darang regained conciousness and was helped up by Ania. "Don't even think about trying to tie me up and tickle me, Darang!" shouted Ta-Shi "I have back-up outside on the Dover docks and on this ship listening to our every sound and action!" "Huh! Too bad they don't know the delicate art of a quick and hidden retreat!" answered Darang "Good luck to them finding where me and the Barefoot Feminists are heading off to. Till next time, Ta-Shi!" And with that, Darang and Ania stumbled out of the room. "Coward..." sneered Ta-Shi. "Come on, let's get you out of these..." as Ta-Shi untied the ropes around Eys and Chick's wrists. "What about the stocks?" the girls asked "Don't worry. I've got something to break the lock." Ta-Shi answered, looking at the situation, and suddenly attacking the sisters' helpless, immobile bare feet with her sharp fingernails and wiggling fingers. "Cootchie cootchie coo!" Ta-Shi gleefully chirped. "No, don't do that!" squealed Eys and Chick trying to reach for cover, but couldn't with their legs strapped down. "Oh sorry!" apologised Ta-Shi "I've been so focused and emotional going after Darang I needed a little relief", getting a crowbar-like tool to break the lock, untying Eys and Chick's toes from the stocks and unstrapping their legs. "Let's get outta here" said Ta-Shi, as she led the away out of the cargo ship with Eys and Chick behind her. The ship was already by the Dover docks, where Ta-Shi's back-up awaited as the three came out in the early morning sunlight. "Did you get Darang and his cronies?" called Ta-Shi. "They took two speedboats from the cargo ship you were on and drove off full speed. Our crew on the docks gave chase but they haven't been caught" said one of the team members. "That's OK, because we managed to rescue the hostages as planned" replied Ta-Shi. "Thank you for rescuing us!" thanked Eys "We are really grateful to you!" said Chick. "It was nothing" said Ta-Shi "Just mention to your uncle that we're even now. Speaking of which, he's supposed to be heading down here to see what is happening. Seeing you will obviously be the immediate good news".

Five minutes later, a black car pulls up by the White Cliffs in the distance. The door opened, and out stepped a man with a red mask and rather big hair: The Poisonous Monkey. "Tito Chimp!" yelled the sisters, running barefoot and all with their arms out towards their uncle. They leapt at him, hugging him tightly and started crying, not with fear or sadness, but with utter joy. The Chimp then wrapped his arms around them and hugged them tightly as he closed his eyes. "I'm so glad to see you..." said the Chimp, in a sombre but relieved tone. "We're so glad that we're finally in England to see you, Tito Chimp!" sobbed Eys. "We thought we would never get here after what happened to us!" sobbed Chick. "You're here now..." said the Chimp "...and you're safe and unharmed, and that's what matters now." The Chimp then looked over at the distance and then saluted at Ta-Shi, who then gave a thumbs up and nodded in recognition. "Sir, we must get going back to Heathrow. The authorites want a small briefing with you" said the chauffeur of the car the Chimp came in. "Right away" the Chimp replied, as he and his nieces went into the car, driving toward Heathrow Airport. "Tito Chimp, our luggage, belongings and passports were taken away from us" said Eys "It was fake security in Berlin that took it from us, and we'll never get them back" Chick said despairingly. "Funny you should mention that..." replied the Chimp "...because authorities in Heathrow Airport managed to retrieve your stuff after they arrested the bogus Berlin security staff when they travelled over to England. They and that Scarlett Terra girl were keeping me under surveillance and were supposedly ready to send me some kind of threat concerning you two. However, the police were aware of your disappearance and their previous criminal activity, and a slip-up on their part got them arrested two days ago. They are still held in a detention room at Heathrow as we speak." "Wow! I never suspected that police were searching for us!" cooed Chick. "Well as you know, your Tita Minky has a law degree and solicitor-in-training, so her legal threats helped pull a few strings!" answered the Chimp. "I want to know how Ta-Shi, her team and the authorities eventually found us on that ship" quizzed Eys. "Well let me tell you: That Darang is a genius" replied the Chimp "Putting those tracking buttons on your shorts. Fortunately, Ta-Shi knew someone who could hack into the signal of those devices, so Darang wasn't the only one who knew your whereabouts. Hence why Ta-Shi found you. Oh and don't worry. Those things will be deactivated by that same person who hacked the signal. At least you have souvenir short buttons from your little adventure!"
