The team approached a small entrance and was advised to stay closely together, as they entered the small room, they were relieved to feel the cool breeze of an air conditioning system. Well if you're wearing such a heavy cloak, you would most likely need an air conditioned room like this one. The room was filled with Arachnophobia agents, each one wearing the same style cloaking.

It was very confusing, you couldn't tell anybody apart, except for the occasional height and size difference, but other then that, everyone looked the same, "so what do we do now, Medusa?" Kidd asked as he pulled on the cloak of the person next to him, "What? I'm not Medusa, I'm Maka."

"Then you must-"

"No, I'm Patti."

"Then how about-"

"No, I'm Reilyta."

This was very confusing, after everyone was accounted for that's when they noticed, Medusa wasn't present. "Where is Medusa?!?!" Kidd mumbled. Suddenly a different type of Arachnophobia agent appeared before them, he wore a sort of drill instructor outfit with the word Coach on his right torso, along with the Arachnophobia mask and hood, "I need one of you for a task," said the "coach".

"You'll do." said the man as he grabbed Maka and dragged her away. A few other "coaches" had appeared and successfully split the team apart, leaving Reilyta and one of the Mizune to venture on their own (I forgot to mention in the other chapter that Reilyta found out that they were in fact the Mizune witches).

Maka had been dragged into a room that looked as if it had never been cleaned for years, and sitting on a couch on the far end of the room sat the one thing that Maka didn't want to see. Giriko the saw weapon sat on a cut-up polyester couch chugging down bottle after bottle of beer and not even bothering to throw them into a proper recycling bin.

"I want you to clean up this room." said the Arachnophobia coach as he walked off, leaving Maka in a room with one of her worst enemies.

"What are you waiting for, clean this place up!" Said Giriko as he opened another bottle of beer with his bare teeth,

"Yes." Maka replied.

Maka began to clean, but was stopped dead in her tracks when she felt a hand grope her butt, "So… you're a girl, I thought so with that voice." Giriko said perversely, Maka had an unbearably strong urge to smack the living daylights out of this pervert, but she had to keep her cover so she left the perverted man to his groping.

"Why don't you take off that mask and let me see your face?" Giriko requested, but Maka just stood still "Take of the mask!" Giriko demanded. Maka still did nothing, "Take off the mask, or I'll cut your head clean off your body!" the saw weapon threatened.

Suddenly the door flew open revealing Liz and Patti wearing maid outfits, "hey, a cute guy, we're here to clean." said Liz as she pressed her body up to Giriko.

"Humph, forget the small fry, lets go have a drink." Giriko requested as he wrapped his arms around Patti and Liz and walked off, leaving Maka in the room by herself. 'Small fry…I'm not that small… am I?' Maka thought to herself as she left the room.

Other part of the castle:

Soul and Kidd were asked to play hide-and-seek with one of Arachne's witches, a Angela Leon, they were informed that she was a Chameleon witch, and was still very young, and her camouflage magic wasn't fully developed, but they were not to let Angela know that they could still see her or else if she became unhappy she would cry…and there was no way of stopping her.

As Kidd and Soul entered, all they saw was a man with the word "Osamurai" on his shirt, sitting on a nearby couch, and nothing else…but then they saw it, a little hand floating around holding a baseball bat, 'I guess she can only make part of her body disappear' Thought Kidd, he then felt Soul give him a nudge.

'Oh!' "My word, where is she?" acted Kidd.

"I don't know; she must be really good at hiding." Soul said playfully. Mifune, who was sitting on the couch, obviously saw through their acting, and let out a small smile. Kidd and Soul continued with their acting until Angela came dangerously close with that baseball bat.

'Hey, what are you going to do with that bat?' thought Soul, and then Angela swung hard, at Soul's… private areas… Soul instantly fell to the ground in humungous pain; Kidd in turn cringed when he saw the act of violence by tiny child. Angela reappeared smiling and laughing.

"Mifune, Mifune, I did it!" Angela cheered, Mifune, who also saw the violence, had a small smile on his face…but also kept one hand on his pants…

"Ok, one left." Angela mumbled as she disappeared, 'oh no, she's coming to me' Kidd thought, 'no! I have to take this like a man…don't worry Soul, this will all be over soon' Kidd thought once more, "Oh my, Where could she have gone?!?!" Kidd yelled as Angela delivered the final blow.

Poor guys…

Another part of the castle:

Ox was made a chess opponent for Mosquito, the thing is, Mosquito didn't know how to play chess, during the game Mosquito had been treated to a back massage, but the real reason why the person who was giving the massage was to make sure Ox didn't make Mosquito unhappy, every time Ox was about to make a move, the man would either nod or tell him not to do it, by shifting his head side-to-side.

For Ox, this was a disgrace, if he was playing a real game of chess against this guy, he would have won in the first few minutes, but to keep his cover, he had to play it cool.

"Mosquito-sama, please take it easy with me." Ox lied.

"Oh no, you young people have to learn your place." Mosquito replied like a cheery old man, Harvar stood behind Ox, watching for anything that would give away their identities, but most of his focus was on Ox' pillar like hair sticking out of the top of the his cloak.

Harvar felt like cutting them off, it was so noticeable, Harvar himself had gotten used to them, but they draw to much attention, and in enemy territory…that's bad…

"Oh, I have something to ask." Mosquito suddenly asked, "Its about those things sticking out of your head" Mosquito continued, 'oh no, he found out' Harvar and Ox thought, Ox got ready for the attack, Harvar had already partially transformed, but it didn't show under the cloak, "Are you a newly developed magical warrior?"

"Yes! That's it, they are newly developed soldiers!" the Arachnophobia agent that was giving the massage suddenly yelled, 'looks like we're safe for now' thought Ox as they continued with the game.

Another area of the castle:

Since they had nothing to do, Reilyta and one of the Mizune witches decided to roam the castle, they actually gotten along, and Reilyta could partially understand what the tiny mouse witch would say, after a few minutes of roaming, they came to a dead end, but out of the corner of their eye's, they saw a flash of hunter green.

Reilyta swiveled on her heels just in time to see Hiti prance through a nearby hallway, Reilyta was elated, and she now knew for sure that Hiti was in the castle. Before the one mouse witch and Reilyta could go after the little Mongoose/cat hybrid, a girl with raven black hair ran up to the hallway where Hiti had entered.

"Hiti, where are you?!?!" the girl yelled happily, and in a flash she was gone down the hallway, 'that was the girl I saw in the picture' Reilyta thought curiously, as they approached the hallway the two noticed a sign near the entryway, it was clear that it wasn't a place for them to be "authorized personnel only, intruders will be punished" was written into a golden plate.

Reilyta was still determined to find her friend, before they could enter, two other Arachnophobia agents appeared from a nearby corridor, Reilyta and the one Mizune hid in the shadows and waited. The two other agents slowly walked past them whilst mumbling to each other, but as they passed Reilyta noticed the obvious points of Ox's hair. "Ox…!" Reilyta whispered loudly.

The agents stopped immediately, they started to look around, they walked toward the area where they heard the whisper, as they approached a hallway that was seemingly blocked of from the shadows, they were pulled in. "Hey, let me-mmph…" Ox yelled but was cut off by a hand.

"Shhh, its me, Reilyta" said person whispered as she let go.

"What are you doing here?" Harvar asked softly, before Reilyta could explain, they all heard two people talking loudly, they knew that those people weren't part of their team, the team slid more into the shadows, not wanting to be seen,

"So the moral manipulation machine has been a success?" the team overheard from one of the agents. As the agents passed the shadows concealing the small team, the team noticed that these specific agents wore lab coats instead of the others…

"Yes it was a complete success; Arachne-sama will be pleased." the team overheard once again as the agents disappeared down the hallway in which Hiti had entered.

For right now, they would have to wait to rescue Hiti, but for now they had to get back to that little lounge area, it was the most obvious place to meet back.

Outside the castle:

Two people arrived from out of the jungle, well you could say that they were people by the way they dressed, but they most definitely didn't have the looks, one was obviously a type of chimp or big monkey, but he wore jeans and shoes, a t-shirt with the logo "ape" in the middle, and a cap with a "MM" logo. The other was just as weird as the first; he wore casual pants with a plain polo shirt, along with a casual jacket, and perfectly polished shoes…now why would anyone wear that in the jungle? But that wasn't the only weird thing; this person had a creepy teddy bear-like head with a creepy smile, and out looking eyes, but had a well built human body.

"They entered through here, huh?" the teddy bear guy mumbled.

"GAUGAUGAUGAUGAUGAU!!" the monkey chattered.

"That's it, you're a genius!" the teddy bear man replied, obviously knowing what the monkey had said.

"GAUGAUGUAUGUAGAU" the monkey continued, the teddy bear man paused for a few seconds, then he blew into a fit of laughter all the while clapping.

"AHYAHYAHYAHYAH, don't make me laugh so much." the teddy bear man yelled almost breaking into tears. "Ok, ok let us enter…" continued the bear man as they indeed entered the tunnel.

Back inside the castle:

The team lay slumped on a nearby wall, trying to relax under the cool of the air conditioning system. Reilyta, the one Mizune, Ox and Harvar had been trekking through what was to them, the whole castle, until they finally arrived in the lounge; they also fell to the ground and slumped against the wall. Everyone looked tired, except for Patti and Liz who looked cheery. "What were you doing all this time?" Kidd questioned as he removed his mask to feel the full force of the A.C "I don't know~" Liz and Patti replied in unison in a very cheery tone.

Suddenly they were approached by an Arachnophobia agent, "Where have you guys been?" the agent asked in an irritated tone.

"Medusa?" Kidd asked.

"Yes" came the reply, suddenly the whole team surrounded her, hugging her legs.

"Where did you go? We thought we had been left in enemy territory." Kidd sobbed.

"I was doing preliminary preparations…" Medusa said softly. "Now…the real mission begins…"
