"Hey, that's right!" popped up Number 2, "He might have done a little body building, but he can't take all of us!"
"Besides," number 3 pointed out, "He's a moron. Watch this! HEY! LOOK OVER THERE!!!"
True to form, Sargeant Flint and Hong Kong turned in the direction he was pointing. Number 7 and 8 quickly picked up a pair of chairs and smashed them over the hapless duo's heads, leaving them unconscious.
Except that Number 8 was intercepted mid-way by an backhand uppercut launching him across the bank, and into dreamyland.
"So, THAT'S the way you wanna play it, huh?" Hong Kong remained in that pose, not having even turned back around, "OKAY then, lemme pull a trick out of the old Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu... lemme see here..." he said as he began leafing through his mail order instruction manual.
"Plan B boys, let's group together and give him the old bum rush while he's busy reading that book! On 3, 1... 2..."
"Okay, got it!" Hong Kong uncharacteristically snapped the book shut after a hlaf second of glancing at it, looks like his sensei's Speed Reading lessons were effective!
"Huh?" was the collective thoughts of the remaining crooks as HKP suddenly dissapeared from the spot where he was standing, only a puff of smoke from where his feet were left to tell his trace. The next thing that 1-6 noticed was that 7 had gone missing, and Hong Kong was standing in his place with an elbow thrust out. A split second later, an impact at the rear of the bank confirmed where 7 had dissappeared to. "Greased Lightning like Greasy Noodles!"
"Lotus Petals in the Hurricane!" he called out as he launched into a spinning cyclone kick, lashing out at all the gang members gathered around him, simultaneously. Wham!Wham!Wham!Wham!Wham!
"Dang, looks like I dog-gone missed one of them bank robbers! How'd you do that, sir?"
"Hah, foolish Hero wannabe!" cackled Number 1, "On the off chance that you returned to Hong Kong, I prepared for every contingency, going so far as to purchase Cat Repellant AND to get my own copy of the Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu! I know every move in there, AND the counter! Whatcha gonna do now, PHOOEY???"
Hong Kong just smirked at his opponent. Then his smile grew into a grin. And revealed his teeth... sharp fearsome teeth, which reminded Number 1 that Dog's were related to wolves... and as light glinted off one of Hong Kong's canines, Number 1 reflected that wild dogs were generally meat eaters...
"I give up."
***
As the news was televised world wide of the return of Hong Kong Phooey, reactions were mixed, to say the least. Though some reactions were bound to cause more trouble than others.
In Japan, Hong Kong's new Sensei was frustrated. "Darn it! I thought I'd managed to get rid of that stupid book of his! He did manage quite well though... still, perhaps he still needs some assistance from his Sensei... or maybe I could send one of my other students... hmmm..."
In South Town, Geese Howard was furious. No, apopleptic! Not only had that dog returned and disrupted his New Jersey site of operations, but to confounded him in such a manner! "Billy! It seems that I will have to send Special Attentions to visit this... Hong Kong Phooey." "Sure Boss! Where's he live again?"
In Hong Kong, a search was being made to find the publishers of The Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu, in hopes of learning the martial arts secrets from the masters themselves. Which was an effort doomed to failure, as the part-time noodle seller, part time street vendor, part time con man had long since moved on to another venture, that of selling Mail Order MARITAL Arts guides...
