"How did everything go?" The Queen Consort asked Dakari as she nodded to the Seneschal who then departed the room.

"The suspect will be delivered to Grand Ducal Marquis's Dungeons within a short while." Dakari reported.

"Good. Your Mummy had called for you before she went unconscious, which led us to believe that Mummy may have realized she was poisoned, and Emilia was able to deduce that Mummy wants to fight it, poison for poison, effectively burn it out." The Queen Consort explained.

"I understand." Dakari replied then looked around for the nearest exit and saw a set of doors that opened out to the JFM gardens. He went to the doors, opened them and stepped outside.

Just then Drs. Prescotti and Padameshi walked in. Dr. Prescotti and Dakari exchanged looks and he nodded. Dr. Prescotti turned to Dr. Lewis.

"Dr. Lewis do you have a large bucket, preferably tub size, and a large instrument that extract venom? A really large instrument?" Dr. Prescotti asked.

"Yes, and yes! But I will need help with the tub." Dr. Padameshi replied. Emilia nodded to the Seneschal and they followed Dr. Padameshi out of the room. Dakari then stepped out into the middle of the garden.

"Where is he going?" Dr. Lewis asked.

"He needs some room?" Jock replied.

"To do what? Make room for the tub or something?" Bo asked.

"Not quite." Julian replied. The answer to Bo's question revealed itself as Dakari started to grow and shift. His body became more elongated and scaly, and his skin started to turn a reddish black as his features took on a more reptilian form. Dr. Lewis didn't even try to hide her shock and fear as she quickly went and stood behind Bo who was equally as shocked at what they were witnessing. Trick stood next to them as they all watched Dakari grow larger and larger. As his head shifted from a humanoid into a reptilian form a yellowish streak of color ran down the back of his head and his shift was complete where once stood a humanoid Fae, in its place stood a 100-foot long, 25-foot wide, black King Cobra, with its eyes emblazoned blue. Dakari expanded his gills and hissed so loud it made the staff all through-out the JFM run to the window, and then promptly step back in utter shock.

"Unlike most Cobra's whose venom is largely neurotoxic, Dakari's venom is a combination of hemotoxic, cytotoxic and neurotoxic venom. Mummy is betting her life that creating an antivenin from Dakari will counter the poison in her system." Dr. Prescotti explained to a still shocked Bo and Lauren.

"That could kill her." Dr. Lewis said astonished as she kept her eyes on Dakari.

"It is a gamble Mummy wants to take." Dr. Prescotti said. By this time Dr. Pademeshi re-entered the room with an elephant-sized syringe. The Seneschal followed with a tub receptacle and went outside and placed it on the ground.

"I was on a safari and we needed this to assist with the care of some of the largest animals. I brought this back just case it may prove useful and I guess..." he trailed off as he looked wide-eyed upon the giant snake that was Dakari hissing in the backyard of the JFM, "It will. Holy! What is that?!"

"Dakari." Dr. Prescotti replied as she took the syringe away from Dr. Padameshi and said to Antony, "Antony, I need you!" Antony nodded and went outside into the garden and shifted into his Fae form, meeting Dakari height for height. Everyone took several steps back, mouths agape from shock at what they were about to witness. Then Kenzi, Dyson, Tamsin, Julia and Clio all came out into the garden.

"We saw the staffs all running to the windows so we came…" Kenzi, Dyson, Tamsin, Julia and Clio's eyes all went wide when they saw Dakari.

"What the…!" Kenzi exclaimed.

'You know, you cannot even make this up." Dr. Lewis said eyes still wide at the sight of two 100-foot creatures standing in the backyard.

"Will that needle even work?" Bo asked Dr. Prescotti.

"Yes. The tub is a catch-all. The unfortunate part is Dakari is not crazy about needles, hence the need for Antony's assistance." Dr Prescotti said as she went to position herself near Dakari. Helen went and stood between her sons, Dakari and Antony.

"Is that safe? Is she safe? Do they even recognize her?" Bo rattled off quickly to Dr. Prescotti, but received her answer when Dakari lowered his head as Helen reached up and stroked the side of his face as his tongue flickered in and out.

"I would have died." Clio said.

"I think we would all be right there with you." Julia answered.

Helen then signaled Emilia to come closer with the syringe, but as soon as she did Dakari jerked his head at his sister which caused Antony to roar. Dakari turned to his brother, and met his brother's roar with a hiss. Everyone was amazed that neither Helen or Emilia flinched. Helen called out Dakari's name and he focused back on Helen.

"I know we are witnessing something incredible, but we need to get a move on before we start receiving more reports of sightings than we can explain off as movie-making or something." Dyson warned.

"I can help." Dr. Padameshi said as he ran over behind Dr. Prescotti which caused both Dakari and Antony to jerk at the sudden movement.

"Great. But approach a bit more slowly next time. Otherwise, they will think you are trying to harm me." Dr. Prescotti said.

"There will be a next time?" Dr. Padameshi asked with a slight elevated pitch in his voice.

"If you want to still see me after this." Dr. Prescotti replied.

"Oh yes, yes I do!" Dr. Padameshi replied with confidence then turned to The Queen Consort "Do either of them recognize you? Do they understand what you are saying to them, Your Majesty?" Dr. Padameshi asked.

"Yes and yes." Helen replied as she turned to her daughter. "Are you ready?" Emilia nodded. Helen then backed away.

"Antony!" Emilia called to her brother and pointed towards the trees. "I need you to grab a tree and bend Dakari's fangs over it so he drips his venom over the tub receptacle." Antony stepped over, pulled a tree out of the ground. Then went over and faced his brother.

"Is Dakari usually cooperative?" Bo asked Helen.

"Yes, but I am here if he starts to balk." Helen replied.

Antony went over and stepped behind his brother's semi-coiled body. Raised the tree over his head and then quickly braced his mouth open as his brother reflexively coiled his body around Antony's body. Kenzi's heart actually raced for Antony's safety, and found herself surprised by her reaction. Emilia stepped up with Dr. Padameshi behind her with the syringe as Dakari started to buck.

Helen gave the signal and Emilia pushed the syringe into his mouth as Dr. Padameshi stood behind her. Antony held Dakari steady as Dakari tightened his coil around Antony's body.

"Won't that injure him? Kill him even?" Kenzi said as she looked to Jock.

"No." Jock replied.

Once they extracted enough of the venom, Dr. Prescotti and Dr. Padameshi backed up and ran back inside the JFM to convert the venom into a workable injection for The Regnant. Antony meanwhile, dropped the tree of to the side, hit Dakari on the head a couple of times to signal to loosen his coil grip on him which he did. Then Antony stepped out of Dakari's coil and backed up to allow Dakari to shake it off. Dakari roared and hissed for several moments as he shook off the needle injection.

Helen looked to both of her sons and said, "We are fine, now."

Dakari was the first the shift back into his humanoid form, and his naked form was being dutifully admired until Trick grabbed a robe for him to cover himself. Dakari waved him off and said, "No need" and suddenly a simple light-gray single suit formed over his body. Antony then shifted back into his humanoid form, also being naked for a few seconds, and he too had admirers to include Kenzi then shifted initio the same light-gray single suit.

Dakari looked at his brother and mother. "Despise needles!" He said as Helen smiled. Everyone else just stared at Dakari.

"Is there anything you cannot turn into?" Clio asked still floored. Dakari smiled and looked straight at Tamsin.

"Are you okay?" Dakari asked.

"You know, honestly, that was the coolest thing I have ever seen! That is, after the shock wears off." Tamsin said. Dakari smiled.

"Your Majesty, we were coming to tell you that Olan made good on his word. The Under Fae Agent in question is in custody at the Dark Fae Dungeons." Dyson reported.

"Good." The Queen Consort replied.

"I want Julia to come with us to make sure we have the same Under Fae that has been at the center of all of this." Dyson said.

"Jock will go along as well. I want him to conduct the inquiry. Jock, take Julian with you." The Queen Consort said.

"Yes Your Majesty." Jock replied.

"If this was a capture order it was sloppy. They may have intended to capture Ari but once she was caught and used for whatever intended purpose she would have been killed. No, this was a 'kill order' and I want to know from whom. I do not want any more lackeys. I want the head of this conspiracy. Ensure the interrogation yields that answer." The Queen Consort said.

"Yes Your Majesty." They all replied in near unison.

"I am coming with you guys." Bo said.

"That would not be appropriate." Trick quickly replied.

"What?" Bo said as she gave Trick a surprised look.

"You are The Princess Royal, and with The Regnant's life in the balance, for all effective purposes, the Queen. It is your duty to remain here from harm." Trick said.

"Trick, you know what is at stake!" Bo replied frustrated.

"I agree, Your Royal Highness. You need to remain here." Dyson added. Bo looked at him equally surprised then at Lauren.

"I agree with Trick and Dyson." Lauren added. Bo sighed.

"Fine. But if anything…" Bo started.

"We will keep you updated, Your Royal Highness." Tamsin finished as she, Dyson, Jock, Julian, and Julia made their courtesies and exited the room.
