Mending the Hearts of Menacing Men

As the Menaces continue to live their life of crime, things become harder as Bathog, GUN, and Sonic and his friends become more advanced in ways of foiling their plans. This leads the villains back into complete poverty since they cannot steal anything with all of the precautions from the heroes. One night, after being caught by Big while carrying out a crime, Split decides to capture him for a BIG ransom. Unfortunately for them, the gang is stuck with him for awhile. He's not the only person held for ransom however. When Phantom gets caught relaxing at one of his favorite spots, he takes the person to the base, followed by Split also declaring them to be held for ransom. During the time that he starts getting a lead on a huge ransom from phone calls, the two people they had captured seems to be softening a part of everyone's heart in some way! This ultimately changes Split's plans but it's already too late for change now that a rivaling group as well as the heroes are on their tails!
