Meanwhile...

Deep within the massive cave of Mount Paozu, all of the spiders were peacefully resting in their respective nests.

With the exception of Lee, who was keeping watch outside near the entrance.

As the sky started turning dark, the assistant decided to check on his queen, and see how she was doing. He proceeded to head inside.

When he got to Queen Shannon's room, he saw that the queen was dressed in an old pink bathrobe and lying on a hand made couch (which was entirely composed of spider silk and some very sturdy tree branches).

The queen was wearing headphones and listening to Martika's "Alibis" on a old Walkman.

She was also staring mindlessly at an old tube TV, which was wasn't even plugged in.

"My queen? Are you awake?", asked a concerned Lee.

Shannon groaned, "Go away..."

Lee crawled closer to her, "My queen, you've been on this couch for several hours now. Is everything alright?"

Shannon rolled over to the side, trying to avoid eye contact with her assistant.

She felt a push on her back, and heard Lee say, "I'm not gonna leave until I hear your response."

Shannon scoffed, "You know exactly what my response is going to be..."

Lee nervously gulped and let out an awkward chuckle, "A-Actually...I have no idea what it is. Could you please explain?"

Shannon growled with anger as she proceeded to take her headphones off.

She sat up and yelled, "I LOST TO AN ALIEN THAT'S TEN TIMES STRONGER THAN ANY OF US! AND HE HAS ALLIES THAT ARE JUST AS STRONG AS HIM! MY BIG PLAN IS RUINED, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"

Shannon immediately burst into sobs, and covered her face.

Lee calmly asked, "Do you need a hug?"

"Yes...", replied Shannon, albeit muffled.

Lee gently nuzzled up against her.

Shannon returned the favor and hugged the assistant.

Lee smiled, "It's going to be alright, my queen. You'll figure something out. You always do."

"But I don't know what to do now, Lee!", groaned Shannon.

She pulled away from her assistant and sighed, "I feel so useless..."

Lee shouted, "No! You are not useless!"

Shannon sniffed, "But I am."

"No, you're not!", exclaimed Lee, "You taught us how to hunt! How to fight!"

Shannon frowned, "Yeah, so what? It didn't matter in the end."

"Yeah it did! You taught us how to defend for ourselves. And when you needed subjects to help you train, we were there as well! You believed in us, and we believed in you!"

With a big smile, the assistant happily said, "You are the most wonderful queen we could ever ask for!"

Shannon felt deeply touched by Lee's words.

Even after her rather pathetic beat down by Goku, the green spider still chose to stay by her side!

She smiled warmly at her assistant, "Thanks, Lee. I...I needed that."

"So, what are you gonna do now?", asked an excited Lee, hoping that his queen would return to her old self.

Shannon put a hand to her chin and thought about her new goals for a bit.

A wicked smile slowly crept across her face as she gained an idea, "Maybe instead of trying to take over the world, I'll just aim to be the rival of those other two aliens! Orange Boy and Purple Guy!"

Lee grinned, "Oooh! That sounds like an excellent idea!"

His eyes widened upon realizing something, "Wait, what about that android lady?"

"Meh, forget about her! She doesn't seem like the fighting type.", replied Shannon, who waved her hand in a dismissive manner.

Lee happily exclaimed, "Okay!"

Shannon hopped off the couch and let out an excited squeal, "This is great! I can prove to those bozos that I am the superior rival!"

The queen quickly took off her bathrobe (which revealed her normal outfit underneath), and tossed it to the side.

She said to herself, "Time to set my new goal into motion..."
