Please Review when done reading the chapter. Thanks!

"Ryan? Izzie?" Tani calls out in the hall, "Where are you?" She continues down the hall. Then, she sees a door that's crack open and there is talking in the room. "Guys?" She quietly enters the room. As she gets deeper in the room, the voices get louder, but they weren't Ryan and Izzie.

"I can't believe we failed!"

"It was a week ago, Cleo. Get over it!"

"What the-" Tani quietly listens to the conversation. She gasps. "It those dogs!"

Jasper is there on a table. "Yeah, you made the boss mad," He laughs.

"Shut up, you little weasel!" Cleo commands.

"Yeah, you're just sitting around doing nothing while we are working our tails off trying to kill the Grand Duchess and her friends," Theo complains

"And you always fail. No wonder Hasten is mad at you two mutts."

"Hasten!" Tani gasps softly.

"Just you wait and see. I'll wrap my hand around her-" Cleo looks at a cup of water and see a reflection . . . of Tani! He turns around and spots Tani. "Hey! It's that brat! Get her!" Theo charges for her and unfortunately, he captures her. He brings her to Cleo. "Well, you certainly get yourself into a lot of trouble lately."

Tani tries to fight her way out. "Wait until my friends come! And you'll be sorry."

"Ha! Right. Hasten won't forget about them," He hand her to Jasper, "Lock her up! Tightly."

"Let's go, kid," Jasper tugs Tani away.

Cleo turns to Theo. "Come on, Theo. Let's see how Hasten's doing." They start out of the room.

Meanwhile, Anya and Dimitri are still in the nursery are organizing for their newborn (Oh. That sounds sweet to say.) with Pooka's help.

"What if you have twins?" Dimitri jokes.

Anya laughs, "I doubt that." Then, she looks at the calendar and sees that few week left. She sighs.

"You o.k?" Dimitri sets his hand on her shoulder.

"Just nervous," she admits.

"Don't be. You'll do fine, I know you will." Pooka rubs against her leg.

She rest her head on his hand. "Thanks."

"My, My." A voice speak out in the shadow. It Hasten that steps out into the light. "I have to admit; I like the room."

Anya is shocked. "Hasten?" Dimitri steps in front of her.

"I mean, the only thing you should worry about is if nothing happens to you." He finishes with a devil smile.

"It you!" Anya exclaims, "You are the one that trying to kill us!"

"Oh, well done, your highness. You figured out my little secret. It too bad you didn't know earlier." He snaps his fingers and his dogs storm in. They each grab Anya and Dimitri and pull them to their knees. Pooka, on the other hand, escapes and runs out, but stays to listen. "At last, after all these years, the last of the Romanovs falls in defeat. Not to worry, my dear, I won't kill now. I can wait. Cleo! Theo! Take our guest to the prison cells in the dungeon. Put them with Ms. Tani, expect for the Grand Duchess. Put her in a different cell. She'll still have company." The dogs start to exit the room. "Soon, I'll bring this nation into this world more powerful and ever before." Pooka starts to run the other direction.

"So," Ryan is wearing a tuxedo and is holding up three sashes,"Which one should I wear at the wedding; Blue, Red, or Green?"

Izzie lowers his book,"Which one do you like?"

"Well, the blue one really brings out my eyes. But the red one really brings out my nose (Don't forget, Zozi had a red nose.) Oh! But the green one really really brings out the fact that I like the color green." (Zozi also wore green)

"Just choose the blue one." Izzie returns to his story.

Ryan looks at the sash. "Which way should it go?"

Izzie sighs. Then, there is scratching on the door. "Now, who could that be?" He opens the door and Pooka runs in. "Pooka? What is he doing here?"

Pooka runs around Ryan. "I don't know? Hey!" The dog starts to tug on his coat. "No! Bad dog! Sit! Heel!"

"Wait a minute! I think he's trying to tell us something. What is it, boy?" Pooka starts to bark.

"Oh! He playing that game where you have to guess what he trying to tell us." Pooka starts to play the game and Ryan figure it out "O.k First word. Sounds like. Big. Mean. And has Claws."

"The dogs!"

"Oh, good one, Izzie. O.k. Next word." Pooka shakes him head, and his fur shapes into Hasten hair do. "Hey! You look like Hasten."

"Nice job, Ryan. All right, what's the next word?" He runs off, but soon he comes back with the photo Anya and Dimitri.

"Oh, that's a tough one."

"Ryan, it obvious that Pooka is trying to tell us that Anya and Dimitri have been captured by those dogs and Hasten is behind everything." Pooka bark happily.

"Hey, you got it."

"Yeah, I guess I did. Did I?" Izzie chuckles. They both look at one other, "Anya and Dimitri have been captured by those dogs and Hasten is behind everything!" Izzie repeats.

Ryan gasps. "Maybe they got Tani, too! W-What are we going to do?"

Izzie thinks for a moment and then turns back to Ryan. "My friend. We have to go rescue them."

"What? Are you crazy? We can't save them by ourselves! We'll be killed!"

"Anya would do the same for us. We got to save them."

"But-"

"Ryan, our whole lives, we been dreaming of the day that we would become true heroes. Now is the time to show the world that the Reliable Ryan and the Incredible Izzie can walk in our uncles footsteps and save the day. What do you say?"

Ryan looks at Pooka, who's sad, and looks back at Izzie. Ryan jumps into his dresser and jumps back out in his regular clothes. He draws his dagger and crack his neck. "Let's do this!"

The three animals charge out of the room and onward to rescue their friends.
