At his lab, Dr. Mortis was finishing up some final tests with the potion he just made. He looked at his watch, after which he turned to his assistant: "It's been an hour since we last checked my bonzai. Go check it again."
The assistant did as he was told. He grabbed a small pair of scissors and headed to a small bonzai tree, which Mortis kept in his lab. He tried to clip off one of its leaves, but this caused the scissors to break apart.
"Still going strong." the assistant spoke, although he almost sounded as though he growled.
"Excellent." Mortis replied, while he looked at a phial, which held some kind of greenish yellow liquid, "That's altogether twenty-four hours this potion lasted. I think I finally perfected it."
"That's good." the assistant hissed, as he slowly turned to Mortis, "So my assistance ends here."
"What does that mean?" Mortis couldn't understand.
"The best part of my job..." the assistant continued, "... is that I don't need to explain myself to someone like you."
"Your job?" Mortis didn't understand at first, but he did soon enough realize that the assistant wasn't entirely who he said he was. In that same split second that he realized as much, the assistant jumped and attacked Mortis, and a fight broke out.
This fight, however, distracted both of them, to a point where neither realized that a third person sneaked into the lab, and snatched the phial with the greenish yellow liquid.
As this fight rages, L's group was arriving at Fort Boyard. As they landed, one of the henchmen, namely Sam started to give orders: "You better take care of them, I'll go alert the boss!"
Though reluctantly, they nodded, while Sam ran away. As he started running, Potter landed in front of him.
"Going somewhere?" he asked.
Sam tried to run away, but Potter only needed to point his wand at him, say the magic word, and Sam would fly back a few feet.
Other than Sam, there was one guy with a moustache and a scar on his face, who thought he was a match for Katie. It wasn't until she showed her demonic face that he realized the error of his ways.
There was one guy, who was somewhat older than the others, and seemed somewhat dimwittier than them as well. When facing Keiko, he raised his fists rather clumsily. Keiko could not understand how anyone would think he was the man to hire for anything. Keiko barely had to lay a hand on him, and he was already down.
The Green Lantern faced someone in a jumpsuit. He too was dimwitted, but at least somewhat more confident of himself. The Green Lantern didn't think he was worth spending any energy from his rings on, so all he did was point behind him, say "what's that", causing him to look behind him, and knock him out.
"Looks like they hire the big boys for outside, leaving the weaker ones to guard the castle." the Green Lantern remarked.
"Or they simply didn't expect anyone would find them here." Potter deduced.
"Makes you wonder why they hired two goons who'd betray them if the price is right." Keiko wondered.
"Strong or weak..." Katie hissed, "I could eat them all."
"Speaking of which..." the Green Lantern suddenly remembered something, "... wasn't there supposed to be a midget among them?"
"L's info is old." Keiko said, "That midget may have used to work for both Sardonis and that Greek guy, but that doesn't mean he still does."
Meanwhile, Sardonis' health, or lack thereof was at its peak.
"I..." he coughed, "I... can't wait... any longer."
Nepomucenos knew this was his moment: "I'll go fetch Dr. Mortis."
He got up to leave, but that's when the door opened before he even touched the knob.
Nepomucenos recognized the man who opened the door before he did: "Lowie?"
Lowie, the "midget" that the Green Lantern was referring to earlier, entered the room: "I must say Igor Mortis has outdone himself this time."
"Yes, yes..." Nepomucenos said, "But we need him now. Where is he?"
"He's in his lab, fighting his assistant." Lowie replied, flatly.
This is when neither Nepomucenos or Sardonis knew what was going on, so Sardonis asked: "What... what do you... mean?"
"Don't play games now!" Nepomucenos was about to smack Lowie on the head.
Just before his hand hit Lowie's head, the latter stopped it and pushed Nepomucenos away, to the other side of the room. He seemed to have quite a lot of strength for someone his size, one would almost say that he drank some of this potion himself. Which was also the conclusion that both Sardonis and Nepomucenos had drawn.
"Lowie, what is the meaning of this?" Sardonis demanded to know.
"Never again shall anyone treat me like a child!" Lowie shouted, before he ran to them for his attack.
