We are then shown the orphanage where Cherry and Atticus grew up in, two figures were leaving their bundles on the doorstep. However, only one this time would be noticed, whereas one was placed on the doorstep, but as the other one was placed, someone instantly snatched it away and hid into the shadows after the door was knocked on to alert the care taker that there was a new resident.
"Oh, no, this is bad, this is bad, this is really, really, really bad." Drell panicked as the wish was granted.
Skippy was about to walk away.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Drell yanked Skippy back. "This is all your fault!"
Skippy looked at him with a 'how is it my fault?' look.
"You know what you did!" Drell bonked him on the head.
Skippy flinched and pouted as he was abused by his one and only friend.
A dark figure came to Atticus as he was asleep in his basket and walked over to the Huntsmaster as he held the bundle and Atticus had something on his arm which he had not had before in his former life; It looked like a dragon tattoo of some sorts, but it was actually a birthmark. "Huntsmaster, we have a new member of our Huntsclan."
"Perfect." Huntsmaster smiled evilly.
The figure found a note attached to the male bundle. "'Please take good care of our little baby Atticus, signed -Loving and reluctant parents'."
"Oh, he'll be in good hands alright." Huntsmaster smirked.
"Shall he become our new Huntsboy, Master?" the figure asked.
"Yes, he shall." Huntsmaster smiled evilly.
The dark figure and the Hunstman then went away together to raise Atticus to be evil while Cherry was taken into the orphanage by the caretaker.
"Okay, Skippy, I don't blame you, I'm blaming Cherry for this." Drell said.
Skippy thought about it for a moment, then actually agreed to that. This time it actually kind of was Cherry's fault. We were then shown to the present and where they were still in the hotel, but with no Atticus this time and where Drell started to be hard on Cherry for what she made Atticus wish for.
"Sometimes I wish I was never born..." Cherry sounded even more dark than usual.
"Well, I wish you were born!" Drell wished so then her wish would be countered out before using his magic on Skippy so he could speak.
"Thank you, Drell and I wish Cherry, Mo, and everyone had memories, remembering Atticus and all the adventures they had with him!" Skippy wished.
"What're you doing?!" Cherry glared at them.
The clouds formed again and granted all three wishes and where one of them was countered out with none of them while the last wish was able to hit. Cherry and Mo shook slightly as they were being affected by the wish. Skippy smiled as he seemed to had saved the day. And where Patch, Oddball, and Colette seemed to do the same. However, Atticus did not seem to return.
"Be careful what you wish for." Drell told Cherry.
"Hmm..." Cherry merely hummed. She then remembered everything and what happened during her second fight with Atticus.
"That's the second time, Cherry..." Drell looked at his records. "You guys are dangerously close. You two need to stay friends."
"Whatever..." Cherry scoffed.
"W-We need to find him." Mo said, frightened for her boyfriend's life.
"Come on, guys, it's Atticus, he couldn't have gone far..." Cherry replied nonchalantly.
"According to my readings, Atticus's force with the Huntsclan is too strong and he's trapped until Cherry apologizes to him." Skippy looked at a magical orb he had carried in his hands.
"Wait, what?" Cherry asked.
"That's what I've found in my readings." Skippy said as he held the magical orb and it seemed to glow and show them all what Atticus was doing.
Atticus was being trained to fight against all magical creatures like how Rose was born and raised to in the original timeline before Jake wished that she wasn't taken from the Huntsclan and the two had never met, much to his broken hearted misfortune.
"He seems different." Patch said.
"Cherry, you have to say sorry to Atticus," Drell said to the perky goth. "It's the only way we can get him back before the Dark Dragon takes over."
"But we changed time," Cherry said. "Shouldn't Atticus be able to take care of that or should we not have to worry about it since it's just me and Mo right now?"
"Do I seriously have to explain why you have to apologize to him?" Drell asked.
"Hey, it's not like he won't accept my apology," Cherry replied. "He's easily forgiven!"
"Let me show you what is going to happen when the Dark Dragon attacks and Atticus isn't on our side." Drell said before showing them the future in his crystal ball.
Cherry stepped back.
Skippy then shoved Cherry over to Drell to make her look with Mo and the dogs to see what could possibly go wrong. "Now look!" he then glared.
"Skippy..." Cherry was shocked at Skippy's sudden assertive nature.
"Just look, you'll understand why you need to apologize to Atticus." Skippy said.
Atticus was not strong as a god or even stronger, but he was stronger than the average boy and was smarter too. He looked like he was a very deathly and dangerous weapon despite being a mere human boy. With his help, the Huntsmaster would be able to destroy all magical creatures and the whole magical realm as we know it.
"Oh, no..." Mo frowned.
"He's unstoppable..." Cherry said.
"And it could be the end of the magical era as we know it if you guys don't make up." Drell said to her firmly.
Cherry didn't want to admit it, but this Atticus was not the same Atticus they knew and loved. SHe turned her head and put her hands into her face as she looked lost and in despair.
"Cherry, you need to make up with Atticus and now!" Patch urged. "Before this change becomes permanent."
"That's not my Atticus..." Cherry whispered softly and sadly.
"That's why you need to go and apologize to him." Drell said.
"This Atticus is a monster though, he might kill me..." Cherry replied.
"That's just a risk you're gonna have to take..." Drell replied with a small shrug.
"We'll go with you." Mo said.
Skippy nodded as he looked to the dogs and gave an encouraging look to Oddball.
"Me?" Oddball gestured to herself with a small smile. "Y-You think so?"
Skippy nodded once and put Patch and Colette beside her and smiled.
"Skippy's just saying that if they can do it, you can too, you truly are your uncle's niece." Drell nodded to the puppy.
"Aw!" Oddball smiled. "But wait, then why didn't he just say that?"
"His talking time is up." Drell replied.
Skippy frowned silently in defeat.
"Aww!" Oddball frowned.
Skippy gently pet Oddball.
Oddball licked Skippy's face. "I like you, even though you can't talk."
Skippy smiled and hugged the puppy back.
"But how do we find him?" Mo asked.
"You all have to disguise yourselves as bait..." Drell said and then pointed to their medallions. "That's where your dragon abilities come in, the Huntsclan hunts all magical creatures, dragons included, it's up to you and Jake to distract him and then lure him into a trap so you can let bygones be bygones."
"But what if the Dark Dragon appears while we're setting up the trap?" Patch asked.
"In that case, you can all say it was nice knowing Skippy." Drell said.
Skippy nodded before he gaped to Drell in slight terror.
"Drell!" The group glared at him.
"Hey, everyone needs a scapegoat..." Drell shrugged innocently.
"I nominate Drell to be the bait becase he's fat and juicy, all those in favor say 'Aye'." Cherry held up her right hand.
"Hey!" Drell glared.
"Aye!" Everyone rose their hands.
"Now just a minute!" Drell folded his arms. "I say 'Nay' and everybody knows, if I'm opposed to something, then it can't be, like when the president vetoes a bill so it doesn't become a law! Who's with me? Skippy?"
Skippy twiddled his fingers nervously.
"If you value your life and safety, you'll agree with me..." Drell grinned darkly, leaning over him. Drell soon felt pain as Patch bit him on the butt. "GAH!" he bit his lip and sweated as he looked down firmly to the puppy.
Patch growled as he glared while biting onto Drell's behind to teach him a lesson. "You are not bullying Skippy anymore, he's your friend!" he muffled aggressively.
"Ooh, I love this Patch~" Colette sounded aroused.
"Oh, very well, I'll be the bait." Drell pouted.
"YES! FINALLY!" Cherry laughed insanely. "Finally, Drell gets his just desserts! I AM FREE!" she then laughed manically and ran out of the room in mass hysteria like a character from the Animaniacs.
"Could one of you knock her out before she scares one of the people?" Drell asked.
Patch magicked up a frying pan and walked out into the hallway. Cherry kept laughing until she was knocked out and fell flat on the floor. Patch smirked and pulled Cherry back into the room to calm her down so they could concentrate on their mission/adventure.
It was starting to get dark, they went to Lao Shi's shop and told him, Fu Dog, Jake, and Jake's mortal friends about what was going. However, as they were talking, someone came to the door. Jake, Trixie, and Spud gasped once they saw who was at the door. It was a familiar long blonde-haired girl with icy blue eyes.
"Who is it?" Oddball whispered.
"Rose..." Jake whispered in shock.
"Rose? But what is she doing here?" Mo whispered.
The others simply shrugged about Rose's presence, it was eerie and crazy to see her after Jake wished that the Huntsclan never took her at birth which then prevented from her meeting Jake, much to his chagrin.
