The Neptune's were taken to a large room in the castle. In the room was a castle that had the same woman's head they saw earlier.

"I am Madame Zagarso, the soceress of this kingdom and you are my prisoners!" said the woman.

"Jumping jellyfish!" exclaimed Biff "A soceress!"

"I don't know what's going on, and I do not care who this crazy bat thinks she is" said Shelly "Come on gang, let's get out of here!"

"I don't think so." Madame Zagarso snorted.

Jabber and the kids started running for the exit, but Madame Zagarso was pretty powerful for them.

First, she used her powers to trap Jabberjaw in a tiny fishbowl.

"A great white shark, reduced to a great white fish" he remarked "No respect I tell ya!"

"Oh shut up, you great white baby and keep running!" Shelly said as she picked up Jabber's bowl while they kept running.

"Just quit yapping and let's get outta here!" Clamhead exclaimed as the guards rushed to try to stop them.

"Right behind you, man." Daniel said.

"Wait for me!" added Bubbles.

Just when the kids could reach the exit, Madame Zagarso used her powers to stop the kids in their tracks and send them right back to her.

"You were saying?" asked Zargaso.

"We'll be still" Jabber gulped.

"Alright, what's the sitch, witch?" demanded Shelly.

"I am not a witch you imprudent adolescent!" barked Zagarso "I have electromagnetic powers and that glowing ball in the center of this room is the source of them!"

Just then, a guard arrived with a bag of diamonds and poured them right down the chute to the ball, which almost made it illuminate like the sun.

"Gee, she must've gathered up a whole bank's worth of diamonds to power that thing" Jabber remarked.

"So what do you want with us, Madame Dingbat?" Shelly asked the soceress.

"Yeah." Biff said. "What's the big idea of kidnapping us here?"

"You outsiders have infiltrated my kingdom, and now you must be my slaves and work in my mines to dig for more diamonds!" Zagarso replied.

"Zombie slaves?" asked the gang.

"Yes, zombie slaves!" Zagarso grinned.

The kids were then teleported right out of the room, and onto a conveyor belt, which was going right into a chamber.

"Once you've come out of my zombie chamber, you will be brainwashed and obey my every command" said Zagarso.

"Heh" Shelly scoffed "That'll be the day!"

"Now quit stalling and get them moving!" Zagarso snapped at her guards.

"Yes, ma'am." The guards all nodded.

One of the guards pulled a lever and the conveyor belt started taking the gang right into a chamber, which used brainwashing devices to send mind control waves into their skulls and then, used a clothing chamber to convert their clothes into rags. Luckily, Jabberjaw was too big, so he didn't get brainwashed or could fit into the clothes. Finally, they made it to the end of the chamber.

"Now's our chance" said Jabber "Let's go guys!"

The kids didn't do anything and just stood there with blank expressions.

"Guys?" he asked as he knocked their skulls "Did you hear me? Guys?"

His friends did not respond to the knocking.

"We obey only Madame Zagarso" the kids said in a zombified tone.

"Yikes! They've been brainwashed!" Jabber exclaimed.


The gang was then sent to a diamond mine, along with a bunch of zombified mermaids and mermen.

While the kids were digging diamonds out of the dirt, Jabber tried to get his friends to wake up.

"I gotta think of something!" He thought to himself.

He decided to try bonking on his friends' heads.

"Hey Clamhead!" he said as he bonked Clam's head "It's me, your old buddy Jabber!"

"I only obey Madame Zagarso!" Clamhead moaned.

Jabber then bonked Shelly's head "Hey Shelly! Wake up!"

"I only obey Madame Zagarso, stupidhead!" Shelly moaned.

"Sheesh, even in a hypnotic trance she gives me no respect." Jabber rolled his eyes.

Frantically, he tried to think of something else to wake up his friends.

Finally, he grabbed his friends and decided to sneak them out of the mine. It wasn't easy getting passed the other zombie slaves. Then, Jabber found the passage leading to the chamber. He waited until the guard was out of sight and placed his friends back on the chamber' and conveyor belt. He then saw a lever on the wall "Maybe this reverse switch should do the trick."

He then pulled the lever, causing the belt to now go the opposite direction, and just in the blink of an eye, the hypnosis was undone and the kids got their old clothes back.

"Wowee wow wow!" said Clamhead "Jabberjaw did it again!"

"Good!" said Biff "Now let's get outta here before Madame Zagarso notices we're free!"

"And how, pray tell, are we gonna do that if we don't have our car?" Shelly asked.

"I don't know, but we'd better hightail it outa here before she notices!" exclaimed Biff.

But before our heroes could make a move, a cage suddenly appeared and trapped them.

"Uh oh, something tells me she already did." said Bubbles.

"You fools!" Madame Zagarso exclaimed as she puffed and appeared in front of them. "You think you can escape from my clutches, eh?"

"What do you expect you creep?" asked Shelly.

The sorceress then used her powers to teleport the caged protagonists to her command deck.

"In spite of your insolence and mutiny, I will give you youths a little task..." said Zargaso.

"What kind of task?" asked Daniel.

"I'm sending you six on a quest..." Zagarso replied.

"A quest, that's not so bad!" said Jabber.

"...which others have never returned from." Zagarso smirked.

At the statement, Jabber's face expression fell.

"Uh...what kind of quest?" Daniel asked.

"You must bring me, 'The Power Stone of Kaaba'" said Zargarso.

"What's that?" asked Biff.

"It is a magic stone that will complete my electromagnetic apparatus," Zagarso explained "If you bring me back the stone, I will no longer need my slaves or you!"

"And where is that power stone?" Daniel asked.

Zagarso then projected an image onto the crystal ball "There! In the Center of the Earth!"

"Abba-baba-baba-on second thought, back to the mines!" Clamhead stammered.

"Too late!" barked Zagarso "We already made a binding agreement! Now go and retrieve that stone!"

"Hey Evallene!" exclaimed Shelly "If you have these magic powers why don't you get the stone?"

"Because my power cannot reach it!" Zagarso barked "Besides, I like being waited on!"

"Well that I understand." Shelly shrugged.

"Now don't just stand there and get that stone for me!" Zagarso said. "And just so that you kids don't get any brilliant ideas, I will be having my men keeping a sharp eye on your movements through my crystal ball at all times!"

"Great, just what I suspected." Shelly rolled her eyes.

"Good luck!" Zagarso grinned as she teleported the gang out of the throne room "Soon, I will have control over the entire undersea world and be rid of any troublemakers!"


Author's Note:

Looks like the Neptune's are gonna have to retrieve the stone if they want to be free. However, I don't think that will be the case if they come back alive. Stay tuned!
