{Nighttime}
~Nabo Ranch~
In the aftermath of the mission, the team brought back the stolen horns to Nabo Ranch, where Francine and the rangers held an event for everyone to see.
Francine: I don't know how thank you guys.
Jeremy: It's fine, ma'am. We're just doing what we do best. We help people.
Francine: And I hope you continue doing that.
SpongeBob: Oh, we will.
Cartwright: *He and Amir arrive* Well, we got 'em all. B-Platoon, General Seko, Mister Zheng...
Amir: Just about everyone involved, save for Yume Kobashi of course. Maya's request. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the private jet they used to fly to Kambezi.
Gregory: Yeah, I saw two more girls at the private airstrip. I guess they got spooked and flew off.
Cartwright: We'll still find them. As for you, Gregory, I have some unfortunate news for you: Due to compromising Interpol files, and your rogue attitude... you've been sacked.
Gregory: ... Go figure. Looks like I'm just a regular bounty hunter then.
Cartwright: On a bright note, we're allowing you to keep the reward money since you succeeded in capturing B-Platoon. If anything, Interpol wants the bounty off their plate.
Hilda: *Approaches them* So, what are you gonna do with the reward money, Greg?
Gregory: Oh, I don't know. Probably finance the next one.
Amir: The next one?
Gregory: Yeah, didn't I tell you?
Cartwright: Tell us what?
Gregory: Right before I left, I found out there was one other case that you never cracked. A guy named Zhukov.
Cartwright: Oh, right. That guy.
Gregory: He jumped bail about 6 years ago with a bunch of those Fabergé eggs. I got a tip that he was in Russia and I thought-
Amir: Bud. Please.
Gregory: ... Yeah, it's a crazy idea. Protecting the rhinos is a better use for that reward money.
Cartwright: ... Good man. Now, let's stand by and watch what Miss Willard has to say.
Francine: Is that camera rolling?
Cameraman: Yep. It's rolling.
Reporter: Go ahead, Miss Willard.
Francine: *Clears her throat* Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Francine Willard. Today is a day of hope. We hope that the people of the world will recognize the plight of the black rhino before it's too late. As we burn these horns, we appeal to the leaders of the world to save the black rhino from extinction. By enforcing the worldwide import ban on rhino horns. Please help us. *Turns to the rangers* Rangers.
*The rangers nod and proceed with the lighting*
*The pile of horns is set ablaze*
Francine: And so, the deed is done.
*Everyone applauds*
Hilda: Do you think it'll work?
Jeremy: I hope so, Hilda. I sure hope so.
Hilda: ... If you don't mind... I'd like to join your group.
Jeremy: Really?
Hilda: Of course. After going through what we just experienced, I'd love to see what else you guys have to offer.
SpongeBob: ... I guess it wouldn't hurt.
Jeremy: ... *Sighs* Okay. I'll take it into consideration.
Hilda: *Smiles*
Jeremy: However, I'd like one thing in return while I'm at it: We'd like to see what Trolberg is like.
Amir: "We"?
Jeremy: If what you and your friends said about it is true, then we'd like to see for ourselves.
Hilda: ... *Smirks* Okay. You have yourself a deal.
Jeremy: *Chuckle*
