Chapter Four: The Dark forest and the Gorromantula.
"Wow! It's really creepy in here Martin!" Diana said
"I know! How cool is this?" Martin exclaimed.
"Not cool Martin. Not cool at all." Java said
"I'll have to agree with Java on this one." Diana stated. Their car had just driven into a large clearing, deep in the forest.
"Lets get out and see if we can find any clues." Martin said
"Do we have to?" Diana said, "It's pitch black out there and it's really creepy."
"We have to if we want to find Tracy." Martin said bravely. "Lets go!" They got out of the car and began to look around. Much to Diana's dismay, they decided to split up to cover more ground. Martin was examining a piece of web on a tree and Java was cowering around looking for Tracy when they heard a high-pitched scream. "That's Diana!" Martin cried. He turned on the U-Watch and put on the alpha goggles. All he saw was Java running towards him and Diana's purse lying on the ground. Java suddenly groaned and hid behind Martin, tugging his sleeve. "What is it Java?" He said, Looking shocked at the fear in Java's eyes. Java pointed at the sky above Diana's purse. There above a gigantic spider's web was stretched across the entire clearing. They were right under the Gorromantula's web and they didn't realize it! Right above Diana's purse was the spider. With Diana in it's arms! It was spinning her round and round as it wrapped her in a cocoon. When Diana was completely covered, it put her down on a section of web and turned to look at Martin and Java with its 2 red eyes.
"Java! Here's what I want you to do! Throw me up onto the web ok buddy?" Marin said.
"Martin sure about this?" Java asked
"Positive! Now do it!" He Replied.
"Java picked up Martin and threw him as hard as he could. Martin soared up and landed on the web. "Hey! This isn't as bad as I thought!" He exclaimed.
He used the U-watch and brought out the eye cutter. He ran over to where a group of human shaped cocoons were. With a few slashes, he had the 1st 2 open. Nothing was in them. He opened the 3rd and a blonde haired girl fell out.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"That's not important!" Martin exclaimed. "What you have to do is jump off this web. Java! Make sure you catch her!"
"I can't jump!" she Replied, "I'm terrified of heights!"
"Are you afraid of spiders?" he asked
"Yes, I'm terrified of spiders." She said. "Why?"
"Because unless you jump you're going to meet your worst fear."
"Fine!" she said. She worked up a bit of courage and jumped down. Java caught her with his strong arms and gently put her on the ground. Meanwhile, Martin had the 4th cocoon open and Tracy fell out.
"Whoa! That was weird!" she said. "I could have sworn I was at the hotel."
"Well, you're not!" Martin said, "Now help me defeat the Gorromantula!"
"Okay!" she replied. To Martin's surprise, she pulled back her sleeve to reveal a U-watch.
"Where did you get that?!?" Martin asked.
"I took it off Wallace before he died. How else did you think I defeated the Fontanian Cram-Buzler?" She replied. With a push of a few buttons, Tracy was holding an Eye cutter, Identical to Martin's. "Let's get with it!" she shouted. "How do we defeat it?" she asked.
"I don't know, I'll fire up the Legendex, you go and get Diana." Martin said.
"Deal!" she said and ran at the cocoon that was Diana. After dodging the Gorromantula's pincers, she reached Diana. The Gorromantula reared showing a huge stinger on its belly. "Martin!" she cried. "Forget the Legendex! I have a plan! See that stinger?" she asked.
"Yeah, I see it!" He replied.
"When a Gorromantula finds a victim, it injects a venom into the person with that stinger. The venom paralyses the victim and puts it in an artificial sleep for several hours."
"So?" Martin said.
"So, got any ideas?" Tracy asked.
"Oh! Yeah I've got one!" he said running at the Gorromantula. While Tracy freed Diana and helped her off the web, Martin ran at the spider. He slid underneath it and with a mighty slash; he cut off the Gorromantula's stinger. The Gorromantula howled with pain and reared on its hind legs, thrashing around. Martin then threw the stinger to Tracy who took it and rammed it deep into the gigantic spider's middle.
The Gorromantula swayed on the spot for a minute, then crashed to the ground, fast asleep.
The two agents then cut the spider web up and wrapped the huge spider in it.
