Dragons and Ponies The Adventure Continues
Déjà vu
Jackie and Uncle were heading to a temple with Sally Sinister, Camille, Carol, and Spyro in tow, "This is some climb." Camille began.
"I haven't done this much climbing in a while." Carol added.
Sally spoke to Uncle, "So tell me again why we're here?"
Jackie answered, "We are here to retrieve the Deja vu stone."
Spyro spoke, "I never heard of a Déjà vu Stone. What does it do?"
Uncle explained, "Whoever wields stone will have the power to transport himself through his own past and back again."
"So it only works for males?" Crol inquired only to get finger whacked by Uncle.
"It is figure of speech!" He shouted, as Carol rubbed her head.
"Why would somebody want to revisit their own past and relive it?" Jackie asked curiously.
Spyro replied, "Because they could alter the past and change the outcome."
Uncle nodded, "Precisely. Which is why we must get to it, before dark forces seek it."
"I can think of four straight off." Sally said, only for Camille to interrupt her.
"Let's not."
Soon the group arrived at the temple where the Stone was hidden, "This is it." Jackie said.
"Let's get in there and get the stone." Camille ordered.
They followed until they saw a dark shadow cast over them, "Is it one of the dark forces I could name on the spot?" Sally asked.
They turned to see it was only Jade, "Nope, just me."
Camille asked, "Jade, how did you get here? With Pinkie Pie's help?"
Pinkie popped in, "Yes she did." She left.
Jackie gawked, "How does Pinkie Pie do that?"
Jade answered, "Don't think about it. Seriously don't."
Spyro spoke, "Where's the Déjà vu Stone? The Dark Forces could be coming after it at any minute."
"Already got it right here." Jade held up the stone.
"That's convenient," Sally said, "Now let's get it out fo here and fast. Before the dark forces I could mention show up. Like say the Armada and Warstar."
Jackie spoke, "I do not think that The Armada and Warstar are gonna show up right on the spot."
The temple shook from blasts outside, "You never listen!" Uncle shouted.
Camille sighed, "Didn't you watch as much movies as Jade does? When somebody tempts fate this is what usually happens!"
The ships continued blasting at the temple, "This place will cave in if we don't evacuate." Carol warned them.
"I got it." Camille cast a teleportation spell teleporting the heroes to Section 13's Vault.
"Nice save, Camille." Jade said.
"Thanks but I think we might have another problem."
The gang turned to look at the stone that was beginning to glow in Jade's hands, "Jade!" Jackie called.
"I didn't do this," She answered. Jackie ran to grab it from her. When he did he disappeared and so did the stone, "What happened to Jackie?" Jade asked.
"He has been thrust into his own past." Uncle explained.
"So what part of his own past is he in?" Spyro asked.
"I will use my chi magic to locate his whereabouts." Uncle got to work.
While Uncle was doing that Camille and Carol were bringing Jade up to speed on some of their own enemies, "So the two of you had enemies of your own?" Jade asked.
"You could say that. Four of whom aren't even in their teens." Camille answered.
"Seriously?"
"I'm serious." Camille confirmed.
"What were they like?" Jade asked.
"See for yourself." Camille brought up images of the enemies that she and Carol were speaking of.
Carol explained, "First girl is Janie, what's most unattractive about her is the braces in her teeth. Second girl is Suzy, honestly with those bug eyed glasses you'd think she wanted to look like a geek. Rhonda... Well her physique says it all. And Clara, this little brat thinks she's such an animal's best friend when in reality she's an animal's worst tormentor. ASPCA has regarded her as the worst animal abuser they ever encountered yet."
Jade was paying close attention to the descriptions of the four and had to comment, "Sounds like a real crazy bunch."
Camille spoke, "Crazy doesn't even describe it. Once we get Jackie and the Déjà Vu Stone back then we can show you just how crazy they are."
"If Jackie'll even let you use it. Or Uncle." Jade noted.
"Relax. They will. After all I'm the Avatar. And they trust Sally." Carol explained.
"Yeah, but enough?" Jade raised a brow.
Camille was about to answer when Uncle got his spell ready, "Hatcha!" he cheered.
"You got something?" Sally asked the old man.
"I have located Jackie's location."
"Where is he?" Jade asked.
Uncle used his magic to display Jackie visiting several moments from his past. Mostly ones where he's avoiding danger or fighting, "Plenty of Jackie's but which one is the one we're looking for?" Camille asked. Uncle started honing in on the Jackie from the present.
Meanwhile Jade began to read Clara's diary to get an idea about her, "This kid seems so dense in the head, she's oblivious to her own treatment towards animals."
"Keep reading." Carol instructed.
Jade continued until she laughed, "No way! You made her face her past self as a dog making her see how bad she really is?"
Camille nodded, "I did. How about I show it to you after we get Jackie back?"
Spyro spoke, "Speaking of whom Uncle found him. He's in the time when he first found the Rooster Talisman."
They watched, and saw Jackie was about to call Jade's parents to send her back to Hong Kong, "Jackie! Don't do it! You need me!" Jade pleaded.
Camille spoke, "He can't afford to other wise he will risk eliminating himself. Not to mention the stone is not even there." They watched as Jackie hung up the phone before even speaking to Jade's parents.
Carol sighed in relief, "Thank God for that. Now let's bring him back."
Spyro spoke, "I'm afraid we will need the Déjà Vu Stone for that right Uncle?"
"Correct."
"Can't you send him to it?" Spyro asked.
"I will try." Uncle said.
While Uncle did that Jade picked up Janie's diary and read some of the entries. She found an interesting one about the time she was sent to something called Math Camp, "Math Camp? Oh, boy. Sounds worse than Summer School." Jade feared.
Camille spoke, "Perhaps I can make it so you can see how worse it is. But for now let's watch as Uncle finds Jackie."
They waited as Jackie finally found the Deja Vu stone in his past. The team waited as they saw Jackie returning to the present with the Stone.
"Welcome back, Jackie." Spyro welcomed him.
"Reliving all my past fights was not pleasant." Jackie explained.
"Perhaps you can trust me with the Déjà vu Stone." Sally suggested.
"Are you absolutely certain you can protect it?"
"I'm certain. I am a Portal Master after all."
"We can trust Sally." Uncle confirmed. So Jackie handed the stone to Sally Sinister.
Later on Camille and Carol were heading to Japan via portal spell from Camille, "You remember the plan, Carol?" Camille asked.
"I do."
"Then tell me the plan so you know that I remember." Camille said.
Carol explained, "The plan is to let Jade join us as we use the Déjà Vu stone to help Dustin undo all the torment he went through by letting Jade beat up on Janie Suzy and Rhonda while we assist by letting her borrow some of your magic. Then using said magic the parents step in and punish the trio while letting Dustin do his own thing respectively and we will know if it works by checking out the diaries of the trio. Once that's done we turn Clara into her dog form and let her suffer from her past self until ASPCA appeared then you use magic to make her see all the torment she inflicted upon the animals from the view of the animals themselves for the rest of her life in the laughing hotel. Did I get that right?"
"Spot on."
"Good plan but how are we supposed to get Jade to Japan without Jackie finding out?" Carol asked.
"Jade will pop up and help with some assistance from Pinkie Pie. We just have to be patient and let time run it's natural course."
"Right."
Soon the two arrived in Mahora and they had the Déjà vu Stone with them. All they needed now was Negi and Dustin, "I certainly hope Dustin isn't still shacking it up." Camille hoped.
Carol answered, "I think he's likely training and Roxie's likely helping out in an area of the campus that deals in music."
"Hopefully that's the case. That boy's hormonal urges are so high it's scary." Camille feared.
Carol spoke, "Perhaps, but he isn't the only one. Remember Roxie had some problems of her own and so do some of our other international female friends. Either way perhaps after we fix this moment we can calm him down by taking him to see our new friends in Ireland."
Camille agreed as the two headed into the Campus. They made it to the room Negi and Dustin were sharing and to their surprise Dustin was actually calm and Negi was there, "Oh, hi, girls." Negi greeted.
"How's it going?" Dustin asked.
"Just thought we'd pop in for a visit." Camille began.
"And bring a friend and some good news." Carol added.
"A friend?" Negi asked.
"What news?: Dustin wondered.
"A way to finally undo all you had to suffer at the hands of your enemies." Camille said.
"And we brought Jade Chan to help out." Carol added.
"Didn't you already do that?" Dustin asked.
Camille answered, "I only prevented them from tying you to a tree and mailing themselves to you on your ninth birthday. I'm talking about the four torture dates you mentioned. Like dress up, tea parties, dance and hair braiding."
"Interesting." Dustin admitted.
"And we have just the relic to do it. The Déjà Vu Stone." Carol presented the stone in question.
"That's the Deja vu stone? It's real?" Negi gasped.
"It is." Camille confirmed.
"I heard it allows one to travel back in time to ones memories." Dustin said.
Camille nodded, "That's the idea. You can travel back to your memories and using your knowledge of the future you can change them."
"Of course there's a risk that if you make the wrong move while in the past it could be fatal. That's why we brought Jade along to help you." Carol said.
Popping in was Jade Chan, "Hey, boys." she greeted.
"You're the girl we met during the Discord incident here." Negi recalled.
"That's me."
"We've been briefing Jade about some of your less dangerous enemies. And she's agreed to help us out." Carol said.
"Hey, thanks for this, Jade." Dustin thanked her.
"No prob."
Carol spoke, "Are you ready Dustin? Touch the Déjà vu Stone and will it to take you to your moments. And Jade to join Dustin all you have to do is touch him as well. I'll follow behind you guys a bit later once we see you've arrived safely."
"All right. Here we go." Dustin touched the stone and activated it, with Jade holding onto him.
Camille conjured up a magic circle to locate Dustin and Jade as Carol got ready to put the next part of the plan into place, "I've got the Time Scooter set to follow Dustin and I got a wand crafted from some of your magic," Carol began, "It'll let me cast simple spells to help."
Camille smiled, "Good. We can't afford any screw ups."
Carol nodded and triggered the time scooter to follow Jade and Dustin to Dustin's past, "So where are they going first?" Negi asked.
Camille answered, "The Moment where Dustin first met the Psycho Hosebeast Trinity. The Timing is everything so we have to be on point for this to work. And if this works then your partners may trust Carol as much as Dustin's partners trust me."
Dustin saw he and his dad were outside Janie's home. While Jade was hiding behind a tree, "Ok, this is it." Dustin began.
In the present day Camille and Negi were watching via Magic Circle, "Wait for it. The Stone's effects should kick in replacing the past Dustin with the present Dustin." Camille said.
Sure enough the past Dustin was replaced with the present Dustin and the two saw Carol showing up via Time Scooter right next to where Jade was hiding. Fortunately she had the sense to activate the invisibility function so as not to be seen.
Carol spoke to Jade, "This is it, Jade, did you study Janie, Suzy, and Rhonda's Diaries like I told you?"
"You bet."
"Then let's get busy. Dustin and Ross are almost at the front door of Janie's house. Once they're inside that's when we step into action." Carol said.
Camille added, "Let's hope Dustin doesn't sucker punch them on impulse otherwise he'd be in trouble for making the first move."
Carol answered, "Don't worry he has to wait for the right moment. Good thing we still have the communication crystals. Besides making the first move is Jade's job."
They went to the window to spy on them and saw Dustin being introduced to the three. For sake of keeping up appearances, Dustin was putting on a smile before the three.
Camille through a Communication Crystal, "So what do you think, Jade?"
Jade answered, "Dustin's keeping it together, and no doubt they'll be left alone soon."
Carol added, "And when he is about to leave he'll know what to do this time and we'll have the parents ready. All you have to do is show yourself to the parents and ask if you can see them, Jade."
"Right." Jade nodded. Suddenly they watched, as the adults left the kids alone.
That was Jade's cue to show herself and Carol's cue to check on Dustin and the Psycho Hosebeast Trinity. Dustin unlike his past self was shoving the girls away from him and rejecting the offers they had suggested to do together.
Carol watched with some approval and saw Dustin got ready to leave. She had the sense to use the wand Camille gave her to hit them with a truth spell to make the girls tell the truth about what they planned to do in case the parents asked.
The trio grabbed Dustin's arm, as he shook them off, "Back off, girls!" he ordered.
Carol said to herself, "Come on, Jade, hurry up."
Jade rushed up to the door and rang it. Right on cue Janie's Parents answered the door, "Hello. Can we help you?" Janie's mom asked.
"Pardon me, ma'am. Is Janie, home? My name's Jade. I'm a friend from school, and I found something of hers she lost there."
"Oh, my. Well, come right in. She's in her room right now with her friends."
"Thank you." Right on cue Jade found Janie's room and knocked on the door.
The door opened to reveal Dustin, "Good timing." he said.
"Glad I could help." Jade walked in.
"Who is this?" Janie demanded.
"A close friend." Dustin answered.
"What's she doing here?" Suzy inquired.
"I invited her." Dustin said smugly.
"But this is my house!" Janie declared.
"Wrong, it's your parents' house not yours." Jade replied.
"And with Jade here, we ain't doing things you want." Dustin added.
"So your tea party is canceled." Jade finished smugly.
"I'm out of here!" Right on cue Dustin left through the open door.
"Get him!" Rhonda called.
They tried to chase after him, only for Jade to block their path, "Sorry, girls, can't let ya go."
"Out of the way." Janie ordered.
"Not gonna happen." Jade replied.
"Let's move her ourselves." Suzy suggested.
The three were prepared to gang up on her. Jade prepared to defend herself. She jumped and delivered a kick, "Hiya!" She knocked the three girls onto the floor.
"Well, done, Jade." Carol commended her.
Carol saw that Dustin sent the parents to check on Jade. They got in and saw the state of things, "I was going to leave, but they insisted I stay," Jade explained, "But then they started roughhousing on each other. So yeah, it got messy in here."
Carol looked worried that Jade may have bitten off more than she could chew but to her surprise the parents seemed to believe her, "Honestly those three, always making a spectacle of themselves.: Janie's dad sighed.
"Anyway I'll spend the rest of the time checking on Dustin." Jade suggested.
For the rest of the Playdate Dustin and Jade did things that Dustin wanted to do, "Now this is more like it!" Dustin cheered.
"Better than being left with those three." Jade added.
Carol continued to observe until it was time for Dustin to leave. Dustin was walking with Ross, as Jade spoke to Carol, "I say this was a success." Jade said.
Carol nodded, "Yes but we're only a quarter of the way there. Go with Dustin as he takes you to his next memory via the Déjà Vu Stone. I will go ahead to make sure that the timing is on point."
"Ok, see you then." Jade followed Dustin from behind and took his hand, as he activated the Deja vu stone sending them to another point in Dustin's past.
Carol followed on the time scooter and once again she was at Janie's house. This time she decided to eavesdrop on Janie's parents to see if she was in the right time period, "Now Janie, Dustin will be by soon. So your father and I expect all of you to be on your best behavior." her mother instructed.
"Yes, mom," Carol listened more once the adults were out of range, "So did you two bring the outfits"
"You bet we did." Suzy cnofirmed.
Carol continued to watch and record so as to gather evidence to present when Jade made her move. As she did she heard Rhonda speaking. Carol used the wand to place nanny cams in Janie's room so as to record the action and show it to Janie's Parents and she also charmed the door so that it would remain unlocked so that Dustin could escape.
"This dress up fashion show idea is gonna be so great. Rhonda said.
Carol frowned at that idea but used the wand to make herself invisible as Ross showed up and she could hear Dustin voicing his concerns, "I don't understand why you're bringing me back to these three. You saw how they were roughhousing yesterday. I'm lucky I didn't get caught up in it."
Ross replied, "And this coming from my boy looking to be the best spirit warrior there is? I would've thought you could handle something like that."
"Don't use reverse psychology on me, dad." Dustin warned his father.
"Jade, are you listening to this?" Carol asked.
"I hear it."
"Prepare to move in."
Jade nodded, as Dustin was brought inside. As usual the introductions were made and Jade silently followed. Dustin was once again in Janie's room with the three knowing full well what was coming.
Jade was in position and so was Carol after activating the Nanny Cams to tune them into the TV that Janie's Parents were watching at the moment. They watched as Dustin was refusing to wear the outfits they brought, and the three jumped him trying to put them on him themselves. Dustin may have had the strength to throw them off, but didn't struggle as hard for the sake of the mission.
Jade stepped into action to open the door again as Carol's nanny cam was showing Janie's parents what was happening in the room, "You three better get off my pal there!" Jade warned them.
"And what're you going to do about it?" Rhonda asked.
"Nothing though I can't say the same for Janie's parents."
"What?!" Janie gasped.
"You heard me and they should be here in 3...2...1."
The door flung open, "Girls!" Janie's mom called.
"Saved by the parents," Dustin sighed in relief. Soon Dustin and Jade were outside the room listening to the parents giving the trio a firm talking too, "This is so great."
"Quiet," Jade shushed him, "Let's listen in to what they're saying."
Outside the house Carol was invisible and she was watching and listening to everything that was being said, "You three clearly are too rambunctious when together, and with the son of our best friend." Janie's mom scolded them. Carol nodded as that was the truth.
"We just wanted him to play." Janie explained.
"By ganging up on him like a mob?" her dad asked.
"And don't try to deny it either. We saw everything." her mom added.
Carol smirked as she saw Janie, Suzy, and Rhonda busted and the potion she dumped on the trio's heads began to kick in as they spilled their guts about what they were planning to do to Dustin.
"We wanted him to play dress up with us." Janie confessed.
"We brought some of the outfits from our own mothers to try as well." Suzy added.
"We wanted him to try on everything with us." Rhonda put in.
"And what were you gonna do if he said no?" Janie's mom inquired.
"We would force him to wear them ourselves." Suzy answered.
Jade was shocked upon hearing that and so were Janie's parents, "I cannot believe it is true." Janie's mom gasped.
"But it is. Perhaps you should ask what else they were planning on doing today?" Jade suggested.
Janie's mom nodded, "Agreed. And what else were you three planning?"
"We were gonna give Dustin a makeover and even braid his hair!" Janie confessed.
Janie's Mom turned to her daughters friends, "And what do you two have to say for yourselves?"
"We have no regrets!" They declared. Jade watched as Janie's Mom and Dad made their decision.
"I think it's best the three of you don't see each other for a while." Janie's dad said.
Janie's mom added, "Clearly, you're all a bad influence on each other."
Jade nodded, and spoke, "Not to mention that they should be on house arrest as well and not see Dustin for a while either."
"Agreed." Janie's mom agreed.
"So what do you plan to tell Ross?" Jade inquired.
"We'll have to tell him none of us will be able to look after Dustin as long as our children are rambunctious." Janie's dad answered.
"I understand." Jade replied.
Dustin watched and smirked, "Score!" he cheered.
Later on when Ross came by to pick up his son Janie's parents told him what had happened, "I don't blame, you guys. Guess your kids just don't know how to behave. Now who can I leave my son with?"
"Dad, I think I may know somebody you can call." Dustin began, only for Jade to give him a signal that said not yet and was thankful that he got the message.
Jade spoke, "For now why not leave him with Jethro or Elroy's parents? I'm sure they'll be happy to have him over."
"Of course. Come on, Dustin, we better go." Ross said.
"Be right with ya, dad."
Jade watched him go as Carol showed up, "Looks like we're two for two so far. Though we might want to head to when Dustin had his hair done in the original timeline. Get him to use the stone to take you a day early. I will follow on the time scooter as usual."
Jade nodded, and hurried over tagging Dustin's hand as they traveled through time. Carol followed on the time scooter to their destination. Carol arrived and now she needed confirmation that she was in the right place.
"Get away from me, you freaks!" Dustin called.
Carol turned her attention to the commotion up ahead. Dustin was shoving the Trinity away from him as they carried hair products and decorations. Carol sighed as she filmed the scene again while summoning Jade to keep the trio away from Dustin. She thought to herself, 'How could this have happened again? I thought Janie's parents were gonna keep her and her friends split up.'
Jade jumped in and like before spun kicked the three knocking them onto the ground, "Better call the parents and have Jade ask what happened since her last visit." Carol said. Carol called Janie's parents and waited for them to find Jade. She saw them approach Jade who spoke to them.
"Any reason why they're outside and together?" Jade asked.
Suzy's mom answered, "They snuck out."
"We'll get them back." Jade promised.
Rhonda's mom spoke, "I know you'll help us get them back to where they belong. But we'll need to make sure the houses are escape proof."
"I can help with that." Jade answered.
"We trust you." Janie's mom said.
After Jade and the adults secured their homes, they went to find their girls with Dustin relaxing by a tree while the girls were tied together.
"I see you managed to secure them." Jade noticed.
"Wasn't that hard." Dustin answered.
"Let's get you back to where you're supposed to be and these three back to their homes." Jade said.
"Sure." Dustin nodded.
Once the trio were sent back to their homes Jade began to ask questions, "So where were you staying this time and how did those three find you?"
Dustin answered, "I'm currently with my friend Aria Sanzo, and I was on my way to her place until these three showed up. Honestly it's like they can track me like bloodhounds."
"Can I join you?" Jade asked, "It's safer in numbers after all. Then we can explain what happened."
"Sure. Even if I am strong enough to fight them, I can't afford to throw a punch until I'm truly in the clear."
"Good plan but Aria could keep them off your back for you and if the need arises you can walk with your friends. There's strength in numbers."
Soon the two arrived at Aria's place. Aria came out, "Dustin, there you are."
"Hey, Aria. Sorry it took so long. I had a little detour." Dustin explained.
Jade hid as Dustin explained about what had happened during the detour while leaving Jade out of it, "Those jerks." Aria frowned.
"I know." Dustin nodded.
"We need a plan to keep them off your back."
"I know. Even with them getting put under house arrest, who's to say they'll find other ways out."
Aria spoke, "Which is why I'm proposing that we gather Darius' other Spirit Warrior Students around our age and form a network to keep an eye on not only them but also any other potential enemies that may crop up. We'll even pull in some of the mages as well."
"Aria, I love the way you think." Dustin smirked.
"Why thank you. Thinking like this is one of the things I'm known for."
So Dustin and Aria spent the rest of their time together before Dustin had to leave, "Thanks for the fun, Aria."
"Any time, D."
Dustin met up with Jade and Carol who were waiting for him, "So how did it go?" Carol asked.
"And are you enjoying your trip down memory lane?" Jade inquired.
Dustin answered, "Oh, yeah. It's all good, now that I don't have to hold back with defending myself."
Carol spoke, "Don't forget. We still have one more memory to visit before we return to the present day."
"Well, let's get to it." Dustin said.
Jade nodded as she and Dustin headed to the memory in question via the Déjà vu Stone while Carol followed on the Time Scooter as usual.
Soon they reappeared in the appropriate part of Dustin's past. Carol spoke to herself, "If I remember correctly this is the memory where the Trio forced Dustin to dance ballet before Dustin decided to Dance his own way. So let's see where Dustin and Jade are." Carol went to go and find them at once.
They searched before finding Dustin close to Suzy's place dancing his own style before the trinity who were throwing a hissy fit for not doing what they wanted him to do. Carol thought, 'Okay how did Dustin end up at Suzy's place? I thought the Trio were barred from seeing him and each other.'
Carol got a text on her cellphone and saw it was a text from Dustin, and she read it, "I had tricked Janie and Rhonda into stepping outside to follow me and led them to Suzy's. That way I can set them up for more punishment. They wanted me to do ballet with them as an apology for getting them into trouble, but you see the results."
Carol sent a text saying she understood the first part but asked a question about what punishment they were being set up for? As Dustin dance he texted back saying he'll have Jade call their parents and send them video footage of them here in Suzy's backyard. Carol then asked about the network that Aria had set up and if there were any mages nearby? Dustin confirmed it that they were recording the footage with their magic and streamed the vids to the parents phones.
Carol decided to sit back and let the events play out and had to ask who was leading the mages. She got a text from Dustin saying that the mage who was in charge of this part was a young girl wielding a petite dagger with a golden handle and a sparkling sapphire in the hilt. The girl had bright purple eyes and green hair. She wore a pair of shorts and a simple t shirt but over that she had a jacket that made one think she was in an elite group.
After the footage was sent to the parents, they went to the backyard to scold their children. They tried to blame Dustin, but the boy had already vanished leaving them to be punished. Carol watched as the three in question were not only punished but they were being sent to get proper ballet lessons as punishment. She then met up with Jade and Dustin afterwards.
"I'd say that we're officially four for four now," Carol said, "So our job is complete. Dustin, how does it feel to finally reverse four of your worst memories?"
Dustin answered, "A bigger weight off my shoulders. Though I hope this is the last time we need to. I'm getting tired of having to keep undoing all this."
Jade spoke, "Don't worry. From what I read the rest of the stuff after this is pretty minor. The only real thing that we need to worry about is when they try to tie you to the tree and they failed thanks to Camille preventing that twice. Which not only led you getting a new sitter but also the trio getting strict sitters."
Carol nodded, "Jade's right. You two head back to the present with the Déjà vu Stone. I have one more thing to do real quick." Jade and Dustin nodded as they headed back to the present day via the Déjà vu Stone while Carol headed to the final coordinates of her mission on the Time Scooter.
In the Present Day, Camille and Negi were waiting and they saw Jade and Dustin returning. Camille spoke, "By the looks on your faces I'd say we reversed all the major damage that was done. Now we just need to complete the rest of the plan. Carol's already moving into position as we speak."
"Excellent." Dustin smirked.
"Watch the Magic Circle." Camille instructed. He did so.
He and the group could see that Carol was at Clara's backyard and it was night the day after she had placed all those lost dog posters, "Okay, Camille I'm ready." Carol said.
Camille snapped her fingers and a female beagle dog appeared as Carol set it down in the back yard before bolting for the present day on the time scooter, "Is that who I think it is?" Dustin asked.
Camille nodded, "Yep. That's Clara from the present day in her dog form. I just used some magic to poof her out of the mental hospital, turn her into a dog and send her to the past the day after I took her from her past self. Now let's watch the show. It's almost sunrise."
Carol made it back in time for the show to begin, "Did I miss anything?" she asked.
Camille answered, "You're just in time to watch us watch Jade see what we meant when we described Clara to her earlier."
So they re-watched the same show as before with Clara being tortured at the hands of her past self. This time they also watched some new scenes as well. One of the new scenes was during the weekend when Clara was taking her dog for a walk.
"Heel, Fluffy! Heel!" She tugged her transformed future self tightly.
"That has to hurt." Jade clutched her neck.
"No kidding." Dustin agreed.
"I never saw this before but it looks like she is in the woods." Carol noticed. They followed closely.
They could see Clara's instincts kicking in as a skunk was running by in the magic circle, "A kitty!" she cheered.
Jade rolled her eyes, "She's denser than you said. Though I feel like I've seen this before."
Dustin nodded, as Clara went to catch the skunk and conveniently had a spray to eliminate the skunk odor. The Skunk reacted and hit Clara with its stench to make her back off thinking she was a threat before bolting for it, "Oh no you don't!" She dawned a gas mask she pulled out of nowhere and pursued after it dragging her future self along.
"Any chance you can let us hear what her future self is saying?" Jade asked.
Camille snapped her fingers so that Clara's future self's thoughts and barks were translated into English, "I could die from loss of air!"
The others continued to watch the chase between Clara and the Skunk. Clara finally caught it and removed its stink before dragging it along by the tail.
"Poor skunk." Negi said.
"Well, at least Clara got sprayed before she removed its scent." Dustin noted.
"She'll smell worse than a skunk for weeks," Camille said, "Which means the animals will smell her coming."
"And they'll be safe from her." Jade added.
Dustin nodded, "That's good news. Even if she does race after them, they'll know her coming a mile away."
"Not to mention they will have a head start so that Skunks scarifice wasn't in vain." Camille put in. The group nodded.
The group saw Clara heading home with the dog by the leash and the skunk by the tail smacking it around like Elmyra did when she captured Fifi, "What do we do now?" Jade asked.
"For now let this play out. That skunk will be free." Carol explained. They agreed and watched.
The scene then showed a Monday morning as Clara was at the table eating with her mother Ava, "Clara, you need to do something about that smell otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere."
"I will mom, don't nag me."
"I'm serious!" Clara rolled her eyes.
The group watched Clara finished her meal before heading off to school as the scene shifted to her room and her Future Dog Self, "I got to get out of here!" Clara tried escaping the cage she was held in remembering how she locked her skunk in, "I just need to think like myself and how I would handle locks," Clara did just that and managed to unlock her cage, "Finally. Not to get out of here."
"Don't leave us!" The animals pleaded.
"What's Clara gonna do?" Jade asked.
"Care about herself and bolt. Duh." Camille replied.
True to Camille's words Clara bolted for it and escaped from the house. She made it to the back yard and in her mind she was home free, "I'm out of here!" She ran for the fence hoping to dig a hole under it. Unfortunately for her when she got to the fence and started digging she got shocked and the shock itself caused her to remember something about said fence, "No! I forgot! I had electric fences installed."
In the present time Camille and Carol were confused on that, "I don't remember an electric fence being installed." Carol said.
Camille answered, "My guess Clara's aunt Christina must've beaten Ava into letting her install it."
"Obviously." Dustin agreed.
Jade spoke, "Which means Clara's now a prisoner in her own home. I can't wait to see what happens when her past self returns."
"It'll be hilarious." Dustin laughed.
True to form Clara's Past Self returned home from school and headed to her room to play and found the Skunk stinking up the place with it's scent and one of the cages empty.
"Fluffy!" Clara cheered.
Clara Dog at that moment hid from Clara trying to find a way to escape, "Gotta hide! Gotta hide!" Dog Clara hid in what she thought was a good hiding place, "I should be safe here. But wait, if I know me then I would already know to look here!"
Clara popped her head down seeing her, "Found you!" Dog Clara ran for it with Clara hot on her tail. Clara finally grabbed her dog self, "Gotcha!" Clara dragged her dog self into the house for what the group assumed to be a punishment for her escape attempt.
"She's in for it now." Dustin said.
True to form Dog Clara was getting punished severely for her escape attempt, "I hope ASPCA saw this." Jade hoped.
Carol answered, "Trust me after this ASPCA is gonna take action."
Dustin nodded, and soon trucks belonging to the ASPCA pulled up outside, "Three, two, one." Negi counted down.
After the severe punishment Clara had dressed her dog self up in the clothes of an infant as further punishment before making her sit for a tea party.
When Clara's stupidity caused her to spill tea on her dog self, as always she blamed the animal and started spanking her. At the time the ASPCA broke open the door, and caught her in the act.
"Thank god for ASPCA." Jade said in relief.
True to form ASPCA hauled Clara away and arrested her by taking her out of the house before they started gathering all the animals that were locked in the cages. They even found a gold fish in a bowl in the living room as well as animals in the backyard tied to fence posts by their necks and they noticed the electric fence that was installed. The Agents were taking notes of what they had seen and writing it as evidence.
"I don't suppose you can show me what ASPCA wrote in their notebooks can you?" Jade asked.
Camille answered, "Consider it done."
Jade saw they were writing about this being the worst case of animal abuse and cruelty they ever laid eyes on. Camille then saw that the agents were moving the animals into the vans before telling Ava who they were and why they were there.
"Everything's set in motion." Camille said.
"That it is now let's see what's happening at ASPCA itself." Jade said.
The magic circle showed the building in question and Clara Dog being examined by one of the Medics and it also showed Carla and the girl that Aria had told Carol and Dustin about. Carol spoke, "That's the girl Dustin and Aria told me about. That's Lamerok. A Prodigy among her people and with a degree from college. I wonder why she's there."
"Probably something dull like water delivery." Jade answered. They listened in.
Carla asked, "So where did you find these animals doc? And what is their condition?"
Lamerok spoke, "Yeah. Carla and I have a right to know. Considering I helped adjust the plumbing so that it would be easier for you to clean up."
The doctor explained, "We found them all in one location. The home of a girl named Clara. And they all have some form of bruising on their bodies clearly from slapping. Especially their buttocks regions."
Lamerok wondered, "Is there more?"
Carla spoke, "I think we should let the doc tell us the full story first."
The doctor nodded, "The girl had not only been collecting animals wild and domesticated, but she has an aunt whose profession is poaching deliver some to her as well. Because she spoiled the girl she developed a harsh passion for animals to the point she thinks she's a good owner."
"That's my horrible aunt for you," Carla answered, "I apologize for what has happen."
Lamerok spoke, "I didn't know but how are the animals themselves? Are they okay?"
The doctor answered, "They'll be all right. They're all surprisingly calm. Except for the beagle dog that was brought in."
"Can you figure out why?" Lamerok asked.
"We've been trying, but it looks like it doesn't want to be here anymore than back there."
Carla spoke, "Just leave it alone and focus on the other animals."
In present day the gang was watching, "Camille, I don't suppose you could let us hear what Dog Clara is thinking right?" Negi asked.
"While she was glad to be away form herself, she didn't want to be in there either."
"Why?" Jade asked.
"Either way she felt like a prisoner."
Carol spoke, "Either way let's skip to where she ends up in the Castle Terminal as a dog due to the spell that Camille cast. The shadowkhan are most likely gonna spirit her away and hand her to Clara and the staff won't remember the beagle even being there."
True to form the scene shifted to when Clara Dog was taken by the shadowkhan and given to Clara on the night she rode to the Castle Terminal and was in her new room, "There she is." Dustin said.
"At least we get to see what she was up to in the Castle Terminal." Carol said."
"Indeed." Camille agreed.
The group watched as Clara Dog was left in her past self's room in the Castle Terminal. Hours later they could see the animals that had been poached from Africa and all the animals that ASPCA took from her were placed in the room and Past Clara was doing her intros, "Welcome back my friends." Needless to say the animals were not happy.
Since Present Day Clara was a dog this time the group could hear what the animals were saying, "Fuck off! You belong in Jail." the animals called.
"You ran out on us to save your own skin!" The Skunk had said to the beagle. Dog Clara winced knowing they were right.
Meanwhile the Human Clara was still talking in the castle Terminal, "We're all gonna have so much fun. It's time for dress up." The animals all roared at Past Clara to tell her to piss off.
Past Clara not hearing them just did what she wanted. The gang could only watch as the full extent of Clara's abuse was shown down in the Castle Terminal.
"Now that is beyond animal cruelty." Jade said in disbelief.
"I think that speaks volumes." Negi replied.
The group saw Clara had done her usual spanking routine before dressing the animals up like infants and washing their mouths out with soap and water and this time she included the beagle before making them do what she wanted.
"And to think that was or used to have been me." Dustin said.
"Good thing I stepped in." Camille added.
The group agreed as they could see Saphira, Lavender and Ruby barge in. Turn Clara into an ice block and free the animals before Clara Dog was teleported back to her cell in the mental hospital in chamberlain Maine and turned back into her human form before the rest of the curse kicked in.
Camille spoke, "Now the rest of my spell kicks in. Clara's gonna be seeing and feeling all the abuse she inflicted on every animal she ever captured only this time she'll be seeing it from the point of view of her victims for the rest of her days."
"That'll drive her insane." Dustin laughed.
Carol nodded, "Yeah and it'll teach her a lesson. Anyway now that we fixed the past it's time to send Jade home and for me and Camille to be on our way."
"And I was having fun." Jade sighed.
"I know but it's for the best." Carol answered. Jade understood as Camille used her magic to send Jade back to her uncle and herself and Carol back to where they were.
