Ch. 8: Popular No More
Uncle unleashed the mist after removing the Moon Power out of Wally. Nobody has any memory of Wally's transformation. However, they came up with an explanation to why the dance is wrecked: Wally destroying everything while trying to bludgeon the Popular Posse. He is being put in the back of a squad car as the students watch in sympathy and pity. After Wally is hauled off, the kids angrily turn to the Popular Posse. Their parents approach them from behind.
"Young lady, you have some explaining to do!" Tori yelled.
Sophie is looking at all the damage that has been done.
"Everything I worked hard to plan RUINED!" she yells, "What does the Popular Posse have against helping those less fortunate?! WHAT?!"
"But we're the ones who almost got hurt!" Mikey yells.
"Hurt by your own doing! Wally could go to juvey all because you wouldn't stop ragging on him," Colleen yells, "You, Mikey Collins, do nothing but spread misery to everyone and everything you touch!"
Everyone else yelled at the Popular Posse until Mr. Collins raised his hand.
"Calm down everyone!" he cried out, "My son and his friends will be punished to the fullest extent. I assure you."
"He better, Mr. Collins!" Sophie screamed, "Your son is the one who belongs in jail, not Wally!"
Tchang Zu watches the whole thing from the castle, while being concerned for Mikey when he hears his brother Tso Lan coming in while calling for him. He waves his hand to turn the magic mirror off before he can see.
"What do you want, Tso Lan?" Tchang Zu asks gruffly.
"Hsi Wu said he saw you at the dance around the time Wally had his breakdown," Tso Lan stated, "What were you doing there?"
"I…was trying to get the power before Wally can lose control."
"Since when are you concerned for human safety?"
"Do I always have to explain myself to this family?!"
Tchang Zu abruptly leaves, leaving Tso Lan to wonder about him.
"It seems every time you show, bad things happen without reason."
