Jamie shuddered as the darkness melted away and the real world

returned, her legs buckling from under her. Drago caught her as

she sank to the ground, helping her regain her footing.

"You okay?"

"Yeah...I feel like I just hit a killer wave the wrong way and got

wiped out by a slammer..."

"Jamie, I don't speak surfer."

"I'm tired, that took a lot of energy."

"Was that so hard to say?"

"Yes" Jamie said stubbornly, giving Drago a scowl.

"Well, you'll have to suck it up, we're right outside Daolan Wongs

castle."

Jamie turned, shaking herself off. Sure enough, only a few yards

away stood a massive wicked-looking, dark building that gave off

an aura that made Jamie shiver.

"How're we gonna get in? I'm NOT doing Shadow Travel again"

she asked as they approached said castle. Drago hmm'd

"There's no doors, so we'll have to climb in a window."

"I can't climb that high without a rope" Jamie said looking up at

the window Drago was pointing at.

Drago gave her a look.

"What? My dad is a master jewel theif, you think he didn't train

me too? Why do you think I do Yoga first thing in the morning

when I get out of bed before leaving my room? Gotta stay

flexible."

"Well, aren't you full of surprises..." Drago said, " Well, since

we DON'T have any rope, we'll have to improvise..."


"Gaaaahh!" Gary yelped as he was hit by yet another beam of

red energy, pain flaring through his body yet again. Daolan Wong

smirked.

"So, feel like complying yet?"

Gary looked up at him with a glare, sweat beading on his

forehead as his body scruched in pain "Gary will NEVER help

masters enem-GAAAAAHHHHH!"

Joe winced. He was all for being evil and helping his grandfather,

but this seemed...kind of cruel.

"Gramps, isn't there any OTHER way to get the spider to give

us some venom?"

"Feeling sorry for him, Kenneth?" he asked with a look of distaste.

"GAAAHHHH!"

Joe crossed his arms, "No, but I'm tired of hearing him scream,

it'sgetting on my nerves. And it's JOE!"

"GAAAAHHHHAAAA!"

Daolan Wong narrowed his eyes at him before turning back to

Gary "Hm. Your right. the noise is rather grating. And there are

OTHER ways to make him surrender his venom..."

000000ooooo000000

Gary grunted as he was forced to return to his true form. His

many legs wobbled as he stood. Both of his hearts pounded

hard, his body still half crippled with the pain from the torture

moments ago.

"So whatcha gonna do, grampa?" Joe asked as Daolan Wong

tucked his staff away into its back sheath.

"You are familar with the concept of de-fanging a pet spider are

you not?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, what we are going to do is similar. only instead of

removing the fangs, we're going to remove the entire venom

gland. Now, come with me. we need to prepare a paralyisis

potion to hold him still so we can remove them without struggle..."
