Their captor stood laughing in the doorway. They immediately recognized her as the very much alive Della Tovrea.
"Foolish creatures," she stated, "did you really think you could stop me?"
Before any of them could answer, she replied.
"It matters not. I have you all captured now."
"Not quite." Everyone looked around to see who was talking. The voice eminated from behind Della. There, the transparent form of Alessio stood, now grasping rope.
She squirmed to get out, but to no avail. Alessio had her firmly tied up. He then raised the sphynx hair net from PD and released the Gila Monsters.
PD promptly summoned an armored truck to cart Della away.
"Stupid dragon!" she yelled. "I will have my revenge!"
Suspectum approached PD next.
"My leader wasss anxiousss to return to the community," he hissed. "He asssked me to sssay thankssss for him. We really appreciate your effortsss."
A warm smile creeped onto PD's face. "See you around, Suspectum." He waved goodbye to the pudgy reptile.
Alessio now stood beside PD. "I want to a-thank you for clearing my house. I shall now be able to rest in peace.
"I need to thank you," PD said, "for saving my life. I will never forget you."
With that, they shook hands, before Alessio complete disappeared.
The sunrise was already starting to creep over the mountains. PD yawned, before taking flight, leaving behind what had just happened at the mysterious Tovrea Castle.
