Ashley was quickly thrust into a cell, Megan thrown in afterwards. As the wall slammed shut, the room went quiet, all except for Megan's sobs over Dojo. Even that went quiet, in the end.

After an hour of silence, Ashley stood up and kicked a nearby table. Megan looked up, her eyes still puffy. "What on earth was that for?"

"Because I'm ticked off, that's what!" Ashley let out a scream.

"Hey, I'm in here too, and I ain't screaming like an Amazonian woman!"

"You're right. You're CRYING!"

"Not any more!"

"All cause of the little dragon, boo hoo!"

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH, ASHLEY!"

"YOU SHUT YOURS!"

Megan let out a shriek, and jumped on Ashley, attacking her. The two girls pulled out hair, bit, punched, kicked, and screamed all at the same time. They broke apart, panting and glaring at the other.

"It's your fault we're in here, you know," Ashley panted.

"You're just mad because you don't have your cell phone anymore!" Megan stuck out her tongue in a very immature way. In response, Ashley made a rude hand gesture.

"Well, if that is why I'm angry, which it isn't, it's your FAULT!"

"Is not."

"Is to."

"Is not."

"Is to."

"Is NOT!"

"Is TO!"

Megan stopped. "This is so stupid. Let's agree to disagree."

Ashley eyed her suspiciously. "I suppose. So how we gonna get outta here?"

"Oh, I have a couple ideas," Megan walked over to Ashley, and together they started to try to formulate a plan.

Dojo sighed wearily, wondering how on earth he got into this position. Dangling in a cage above a boiling pot. This is just peachy, he thought. I'm about to be food to the person I was TRYING TO SAVE! How ironic.

He had tried changing into his larger form, but it didn't work. It just hurt. He felt bad for himself. Everyone felt bad for the handsome devil that was Dojo. Not was, he thought, is. He sighed again, and began singing.

"I've been dangling above a pot, all the live long day! Even though its only been an hour or so!" He continued singing, until the door opened a while later.

He screamed. "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME! I'M TOO BONEY TO EAT!" He began sobbing dramatically.

"Will you shut up," a voice hissed. "You'll get us caught!"

Dojo looked up to see who it was. Megan and Ashley, both standing there, and both badly bruised. Ashley put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out some finger nail clippers. After a few minutes or so, Dojo was in there arms, but still in the cage. Least I'm not gonna be soup, his inner thoughts rejoiced.

Megan put a finger to her lips, and walked slowly out of the room, to see if the coast was clear. After seeing that it was, they ran out. They kept running until they heard a voice from behind. "Going somewhere ladies?"

Turning around, they saw Chase and some woman standing there, both wearing a smirk. Dojo let out a scream. "RUN!"

Ashley, who was holding Dojo, did exactly that, but Megan was just frozen. Chase grabbed her arm, and looked over towards Ashley. Before a single word came out of his mouth, one came out of the woman's. "Leave, and she dies."

Ashley blinked. Who was she to say anything? She sighed, and walked back. Megan owes me big time, she thought.

Chase looked over at the woman. "Good thinking, Chloe. You're just as good as Wuya, minus the stupidity. Now," he turned to Ashley, "hand over the dragon, and both of you will be free to leave."

Ashley wore a skeptical look. "Oh really? How about this?" She lifted her foot, to kick him, but he easily grabbed her foot.

"You never learn, do you. Chloe, grab the dragon, and take him back to the kitchen immediately. Then we'll proceed with our arrangement." She nodded, grabbed Dojo from Ashley, and walked off.

"Now, get out of my sight, both of you. I don't want to see you back here ever again, and if I do, it won't just be one life taken." With that, he shoved the two girls out, and barred the entrance.

The two girls looked at each other, unsure of the next action. "I think we should-" Megan was interrupted by her companion.

"We should stay right here," she smirked.

Megan looked confused. "Why? We should go to them, so they know what's going on!"

"No we shouldn't, because they're already here." Ashley pointed to a mound of earth that was slowly appearing in the earth in front of them.
