The group watch, with the exception of Jack, in disgust as Igor munched away at the biscuit.

"Ooh . . . biscuit taste good!" Igor said with his mouth full.

"Now, Igor, you promised to move aside." Jack said sternly

"Igor keep his promise."

As the hunchbacked man stood aside, the group made their way to the path that led to the house, though Sly was still suspicious that something was about to . . .

ZAP!

A huge bolt of lightning shot from the top of the tower to the ground down below with extreme speed and struck the fake Kato if he were a few inches closer.

"What the?!" Sly shouted as he jumped back a bit.

"AY DIOS MIO!" Carmelita yelled as if she were about to have a panic attack.

"That was 'shocking'." Murray said, though it was nowhere near being a joke.

"Where is that thing getting its power from?" Jack demanded as Igor was seen covering his head with his hands.

"Doctor have big generator behind door over there; Jack smash circuit with something to make lightning stop!"

"I bet that won't stop it for long." Jack said as he looked between the rod and the group. "We'd better get back quick, or we're fried."

"Like my mom's chorizo and eggs." Carmelita added and drooled at her own words.

"If this thing doesn't cook us, then the doc might." Sly remarked as his tail became less bristled.

"There always a weakness for everything." Murray spoke up as the ringing from the lightning left his ears.

"Yet again, Murray's right,every monster has a weakness." Jack said, though Murray being right was still shocking (not like the lightning mind you). "We just need to find out the Doctor's."

"Well, we all know who knows him better than anyone in town." Sly mused with a slight smirk.

"SALLY!" The group exclaimed in unison.

"By the way, didn't she say she wanted to talk to us?" Carmelita asked as she tilted her hat.

"Hey, you're right!" Jack realized at that very moment. "I bet Sally knows something that we can use to save the Doctor."

"Alright, now we're getting somewhere." Murray said with a smile. "Let's get cracking."

"Oh, Jack, you remembered to come back!" Sally said with lit eyes.

"Because we reminded him." Sly intervened briefly.

"What you said before kind of worried me . . ." Jack said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"It's about the Doctor, Jack." Sally said a bit hesitantly, but continued anyway. "If he tries to . . . harm you, use the Sleep Soup to knock him out."

"Okay questioned: how are we suppose to get that?" Carmelita asked while confused.

"I can make it for you, but I need the ingredients first. You all will get them for me, right?"

"We sure will." Murray replied as the rag doll realized something different from the group.

"Hey, are you missing one turtle?" She asked as she noticed that said turtle was nowhere.

"About that, we actually lost Bentley when we were searching around the Doctor's compound." Carmelita replied sheepishly.

"Oh dear . . . the Doctor must have taken him." Sally gasped beyond worried for the turtle's well-being. "Who knows what might happen to your friend."

"Hmm . . . I see your point, we'd better get up there, and fast!" Jack said as everyone nodded in agreement. "What are the ingredients for the soup, Sally?"

"Here, I wrote them down for you so you can look at them later." She replied as she handed him a piece of paper.

"So, will this soup make it easier to bring the Doctor to his senses?" Carmelita asked out of curiosity.

"It should."

"Well, we need all the help that we can get." Sly said as he felt that there was no other option. "I say we go with it."

"Thank you, Sally." Jack said the group walked away.

"Alright, let's have a look at this." Sly said as he read the note in Jack's hand.

"To make the Sleeping Soup, you need the following ingredients: Deadly Nightshade, Frog's Breath, and Worm's wort. To get the Deadly Nightshade, go to the grave marked "Deadly Nightshade". There are many graves, so be careful! For Frog's Breath, first you'll need a frog. The Doctor breeds them in his Junkyard. And as for the Worm's Wart, you can buy it at the shop."

"Killer!"

"So, how are we going to do this?" Jack asked as he contemplated.

"I'll get the Deadly Nightshade." Carmelita volunteered with a raised hand.

"And Murray and I can catch the frog." Sly elected without delay.

"We can?" Murray asked which led the raccoon to bump him on the shoulder. "I mean, of course we can."

"Are you sure about that?" Jack asked with his arms crossed. "I've seen the frogs the Doctor breeds, they're very cautious around other people."

"We can handle it, can't we Murray?" Sly asked with a smirk.

"'The Murray' never backs own from a challenge!" The hippo exclaimed with flexed arms.

"So I can trust you boys to catch the frog while Carmelita and I get the other two items?" Jack asked with seriousness.

"Yeah, can we?" Carmelita added with her arms crossed.

"Sure you can, right Murray?"

"Yes you can!"

"I don't know . . ." Jack said a tad hesitant. "With all those monsters roaming about, and then there's the lightning . . ."

"Will you just trust us!" Sly demanded as he felt that each minuet was precious.

"Okay . . . but hold on." Jack replied with a sigh and twirled into flames, dressed in his Pumpkin King suit, picked up a stick as he lit the tip on fire, and handed it to Sly. "It's blocked off by a fence, you have to light all the torches to open it, got it?"

"Yes . . . of course." Sly replied as he, Murray, and Carmelita stared at Jack. "That costume is going to take some getting use to."

"Well, I am the Pumpkin King." Jack informed in a proud voice.

"Okay then . . . anyhow, we'll have that frog for you, Jack, so relax."

Sly and Murray cautiously returned to the Doctor's compound after Jack and Carmelita agreed to meet them at the Junkyard after they got the other items.

"So . . . which way is the Junkyard?" Sly asked as he looked around.

"Over there." Murray answered as he pointed to a door with a giant circuit.

"Nice job, big guy."

They then rushed to the door while traversing the lightning and making sure their torch did go out.

"What a dump." Murray said as he looked around the Junkyard.

It was then that the two boys heard faint croaks in the distant corner of the Junkyard.

"The frog pen must be up there, let's go!" Sly said as they took an elevator and saw the frog pen was there, for sure, but it was sealed off by a fence with three torches in front. "Jack said we need to light all the torches."

"Only one problem, Sly." Murray said as he pointed to a stray torch. "That one's out-of-place."

"So, then, we'll put it back in place." The fake Kato said as he took out his Chain Canes.

He hooked the crooks together as they ran over to the torch and as Sly activated the chains, he gave a handle to his hippo friend, then they both pulled with all their might. After a few minuets, the torch was finally lined up with the other two others.

"Now we're ready." The raccoon said as he lit all three torches on fire and in turn the fence opened. "Okay, time to bag us a frog."

"Uh, which one?" Murray asked as there was a bunch of frogs in the pen.

"I don't know . . ."

Sly looked around and saw one of the frogs exhale a thick green mist from its mouth.

"That one over there!" Sly said as he pointed to it. "We have to get that one!"

"Already on that, Sly!" Murray exclaimed as he rushed into the pen.

Unfortunately, Jack was right about the frogs being cautious around anyone, but the Doctor, because as soon as they saw Murray, they hopped away so fast the hippo had a hard time catching up. He ran all over the pen until he ran back to Sly and collapsed from exhaustion.

"I tried to catch it, but they're too fast." He panted with every word.

"There has to be something we can do." Sly insisted as he tried to think of something. "Man, I wish Bentley was here."

That was when the fake Billy Ho thought of something, and saw a rather peculiar suit.

"And here I thought things would make sense." Sly mumbled as he stared into the pen. "Guess I was wrong."

In the pen, wearing a full frog suit while standing completely still was Murray with his right arm in front of him and his left arm behind.

"Uh . . . Sly?"

The raccoon turned around to see Jack and Carmelita staring awkwardly at Murray.

"What is he doing?" Jack asked in a perplexed tone.

"I have no idea what so ever." The fake Kato replied as he shook his head.

"This is how you catch frog?"

"No, this is how he catches frogs, apparently. Look, we ran out of ideas, then Murray fund that suit he's wearing and thought he might be able to lure the frog we need if he pretended to be one of them."

"But he's not a frog, he's a hippo." Jack corrected as he still stared. "Even with that suit on, how's he suppose to . . ."

"Got it!" Murray called as he hurried back to the group.

"That's how, I guess." Carmelita murmured in surprise.

"Here's the frog!" Murray said as he held up the frog that breathed the green mist. "I knew this suit would come in handy."

"Well, at least we have all the ingredients." Jack said as he shook his amazement away and Murray took off the frog suit. "Let's take them back to Sally."

It was so that the group returned to Sally with ingredients in hand and waited as she made the soup.

"Finished!" She exclaimed and came back with a bowl filled with the soup. "Once the Doctor gets a whiff of this, he'll be out like a light!"

"Thank you, Sally." Jack smiled as Murray took the soup. "What would I do without you?"

"Don't even want to think about that." Sly said with his arms raised up in front of him.

"Now to smash that thing!" Jack said as they returned to the circuit.

"And save Bentley from that cracked Doctor!" Sly added with determination.

"Anything else we need to worry about?" Carmelita asked keeping her Shock Pistol close.

"Well, not right this second." Murray answered as he cracked the fingers on his Crusher Gloves.

As they continued, they saw a giant circuit coming into view.

"How are we suppose to blast that?" Sly questioned, seeing no way to do so.

"Maybe . . ." Jack murmured as he saw a rock and thought of something. "Maybe if we take that rock through the maze, we can throw it at the circuit to smash it."

"One problem with that, Jack." Murray said as he pointed to more electrified fences.

"How are we suppose to get the rock?" Carmelita asked, thinking that it was nearly impossible.

"Like this, Soul Robber!" Jack shouted as he grabbed the rock with the Soul Robber. "Sit tight, I'll be right back."

Sly, Murray, and Carmelita watched as Jack slowly made his way through the maze and smashed any form of debris that stood in his way. As soon as he got to the circuit, he took steady aim, then flung the rock right into the center.

"Sweet!" Sly said to which the others nodded.

"Now to save the Doctor!" Jack said as the rest of the group caught up, unfortunately, there were monster there as well.

"Come on . . ." The fake Kato said as he took out his Chain Canes.

"ATTACK!" Murray shouted as he rushed at the monsters.

"My thoughts exactly!" Carmelita said as she readied her Shock Pistol.

They fought their way up the stairs and as they reached one of the doors, the rushed inside and slammed the door close. The raccoon, hippo, and vixen panted heavily while Jack merely sight, thins couldn't possibly get any worse . . .

"Jaaaack, I was wondering when you'd get here!"

Sly, Carmelita, and Jack looked around to see where the voice came from as Murray pointed above them. The Doctor's Lab was like a huge spiral and someone they least expected to see at the top, was Shock the witch girl herself.

"Think you can reach me?" She asked in a taunting voice. "Try it, it's fun! I know I'm having a ball!"

Shock then opened a chute behind her and a few monster-sized balls rolled down the spiral staircase.

"I'd like to show her how to have a ball." Carmelita grumbled angrily.

"I don't want to crush your spirit, Jack, just your body!" The little witch girl laughed as she placed her mask back on.

"Murray, you were right about her." Sly as he clenched his Chain Canes. "She is like Ruby . . ."

"No time for that now, we have to make it to the top." Jack said glaring at the witch girl.

"It's like an Asian game show I once saw on TV." Murray said as he chuckled at the memory.

"That's right, we just need to use our timing wisely." Carmelita said as she calculated each rolling ball.

"If you say so . . ." Jack said as the made their way up the stairs.

Fortunately for the group, there were openings in the walls that helped the group by protecting them from being crushed by the boulders. In no time flat, the group had finally made reached the top, much to their relief. As soon as Shock finally took notice of the group she waved her broom, which now was adorned with a white flag, back and forth in the air.

"I'm sorry, Jack." She said, trying to pass off as a sweet little girl. "I was only playing a trick . . ."

"I know another thing we can play . . ." Carmelita hissed as her eyes glowed a bit.

As the group continued on, they saw that Shock was following them, but stopped s Jack turned around and faced her with a stern stare.

"Stop helping Oogie, we mean it!"

"Okay . . ." Shock replied with her head low and one hand behind her back, which made Murray very suspicious.

"That elevator leads up to the top floor, come on!" Jack said as the group followed him, with the exception of Carmelita who glared at Shock. "Carmelita, now is not the time for hostility."

"Okay, Jack . . ." Carmelita sighed as she entered the elevator, then cast one last glare at the witch girl. "You got off lucky, but I'll get you yet."

With everything said and done, Jack pressed a button that made the elevator take them up, but what they didn't know was that the Doctor was expecting them at any minuet . . .
