Meanwhile, Ace and Deanna's group are roaming through a city square, when suddenly they hear a low, rumbling roar in the distance. Peeking around the corner, the group suddenly spots the large two-headed Cyclops from earlier. The beast is sitting by an old building with the chin of his right head in his hand, moaning sorrowfully.

The group exchange sad looks. "Oh, the poor dear, he looks so sad!" Deanna says.

"Maybe we can help him" Ace replies as the five traipse up to the sorrowing monster.

Deanna calls, "Are you okay? You look pretty down."

The Cyclops looks down and the first head asks, "Who are you?" Ace introduces himself and says, "I'm Ace. Dat's Deanna, Grubber, Billy, and Arturo." The second head said, "I'm Sirius and the other head's my brother Salazar. You guys here to pick a bone with us or to make fun of us that we got our butt kicked by that Major whatever his name is?"

Concerned, Deanna gently takes the beast's hand. "We would never make fun of you, we promise. We're your friends."

The Cyclops' eyes brighten. "Friends?"

"Yeah," Ace replies brightly. "We wanna help you an' da other monsters stop dat Major Man creep."

Feeling their spirits lifted, the two heads happily reply, "Oh, thank you all so much! This is such a kindness!"

"You're quite welcome," Deanna replies. "We know Major Man's planning something tricky and hope to catch him in the act. Would you like to come with us, please?"

"Duh, we promise not ta let nuthin' bad happen." Billy reassures them.

"Phtbbht!" Grubber razzes.

"Yeah, what he said!" Arturo replies.

The two Cyclops brothers smile. "Why, we'd love to!" Salazar obliges.

"We'll be quite happy to help give that creep what for!" a determined Sirius adds.

"Thank you very much!" the group replies gratefully, upon which they all then set off to find the others.

Meanwhile, Professor Utonium's group is traipsing along the side of a lake, looking for clues, when suddenly a loud gurgling rumble is heard from behind them. Shocked, the group whips around and promptly comes face to face with a giant green three headed hydra. "AAAHHHHHH!" the professor screams in terror. Snake quickly holds April close to him to protect her, and the unicorn parents step in front of their children and arch their backs, snorting threateningly.

"There, there now, friends," the beast says in a motherly voice as she lowers one of her friends toward the group. "Please don't be afraid; I won't hurt you." Upon hearing this, the group slowly look up with relieved looks on their faces. "I'm sorry if I frightened you, friends."

"All's well, Ma'am." the professor replies graciously.

"Ooh, by the way, my name's Cassandra."

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Ma'am," the professor replies politely. "My name is Professor John Utonium, and these are Snake, April, Gregor, Melina, Richie, Angel, Daisy, and Ember."

Snake politely tips his hat. "Pleassssed to meet you, Ma'am."

"Enchanted to meet you, Ma'am." April says kindly. The unicorn family then politely whinny hello.

The hydra smiles. "Well, it's quite a pleasure to meet all of you. By the way, if I may ask, please, what brings you fine people to my little corner of the world?"

Professor Utonium said, "We need your help in trying to catch Major Man and to teach him lesson. He's been going around terrorizing a bunch of monsters for a few minutes of fame to get people's attention."

All three of the hydra's heads frown. "Ooh, that Major Man! I've been hoping to put a stop to him ever since he flew by and shot lasers at me while I was roaming the sea!" April gently takes the hydra's flipper. "Don't worry, Ma'am. We'll all give that creep what for as soon as we find him." Daisy then traipses up to her and gives a consoling "Whihihihi."

Cassandra's faces then brighten. "Well, I'll certainly be quite happy to help you, dears."

"Thank you very much, Ma'am." the group obliges, upon which they all then set off.
